The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 903 Casting a Net
The secret works of the Qin State are spread all over the world, and the secret works of other countries are also spread all over the world, so no matter which country it is, as long as there is some trouble, it will be known to other countries immediately.

After Xu Shu, Wu Yunzhao, Li Jiancheng and others led 12 people to Dianjiang City by water, Han Shizhong learned that Xu Shu and others' idea was to go back to the north and join the king's army. He just smiled and said, if adults want to If you want to go back and die with the king, then lead the army to go north. If you want to be famous for thousands of generations, and be a loyal minister who will help the building to collapse, then stay.

Call all the troops and fight back to Chengdu in one go!

After hearing this, Xu Shu and others naturally chose to stay; but when there is still a glimmer of hope, they will never give up.

Han Shizhong met Li Jiancheng once in private, and said to Li Jiancheng, "It is definitely not a last resort for the grandpa to write a letter to persuade him to surrender. The king's family is all in Chengdu, and the little prince Li Zhi is only seven years old. The thief Gan Ning must have done this In order to coerce and force the Taigong to write down the letter of surrender, all the stupid people of the three armies insulted the Taigong without knowing it. It should not have been done, and someone replaced the three armies and made an apology to the general.”

It has always been rude to scold his father to his son; Li Jiancheng has been suffering a lot in his heart during this period, and now after hearing what Han Shizhong said, he finally found some comfort in his heart.

"I am also very saddened to hear about General Yuanji, but at special times, if the general is brother Wang, please focus on the overall situation. As long as the Chu State is defeated and our Shu State dominates the world, the General is still worried that he will not do anything for you." Is there a chance for General Yuanji to take revenge?"

Han Shizhong continued.

Li Jiancheng's eyes were cold and introverted, and he was thoughtful, but he still said: "Yuan Ji violated military discipline and military regulations, and his death is not a pity. I understand that Xu Shu did it just now to stabilize the defenders of Jiangyang City. I Don't blame him."

"The eldest son understands righteousness deeply, and he will be convinced in the end." With just these words, Han Shizhong immediately changed his name to Li Jiancheng.

This expresses the approval in my heart. In the past, Li Jian was just called a general.

"The general is serious." Li Jiancheng was full of emotion: "Now that Jiangyang City has been handed over to Xiang Sheng and others, what good strategy does the general have to defeat the enemy?"

Han Shizhong glanced at the turbulent river outside Dianjiang City, was silent for a long time to breathe, and then said: "The only way is to fight to the death, if you don't break Chengdu, you won't turn back."

Li Jiancheng's heart was shocked, he didn't ask any more questions, he just said: "When will you go to battle?"

"The army rested for a day, took the water to attack Jiangyang, went down to Bodao, and took Chengdu, and the person in charge - kill!"

Li Jiancheng's body shook violently again, and he said that the person in charge - kill!

To a large extent, it should be said to oneself.

If it really hit outside Chengdu, Gan Ning would definitely hang Li Yuan on the tower. If he wanted to attack the city, he would have to shoot Li Yuan first.

Such a serious crime... How dare Han Shizhong take it on him?

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but take a look at Han Shizhong's side face. For the first time, he felt that this man's face was so resolute. Although he wasn't very handsome, he would make you stand in awe at a glance.

The most powerful army of the Chu army should be the [-] elite Xiang Sheng brought from the north. These people are the best soldiers in the Chu state who are good at land warfare. Han Shizhong didn't think much of Huang Zhong and others' navy army.

The defenders from Jiangzhou to Chengdu, the most skilled tactics, are naturally still in the water.

However, at the meeting before the war, Han Shizhong discovered a very interesting thing. Almost all the warships on the Yangtze River were taken away by him when he led the army.

Later, when Xu Shu and others led the army to Dianjiang City, there was not even a small boat left in Jiangyang City.

After all, this is an army of [-], not thousands of people, and a lot of ships are needed to travel by water at one time.

In this way, Han Shizhong decided to concentrate all his troops, spare Jiangzhou and Jiangyang, and directly attack Bodao.

According to the calculations of Han Shizhong, Xu Shu and others, all the troops of the Chu army should be in Jianyang City. As long as the speed of the Shu army is fast enough, the Chu army in the Jiangyang city tower will see the Shu army driving warships. They pass under their noses.

Because the trebuchets, fire oil and all the things used to defend the city were removed when the army retreated.

Coupled with the previous actions of Xu Shu and others, a signal was sent to the Chu army that we are going to withdraw our troops and go north, so just don't block us.

A strategic plan quietly took shape in Han Shizhong's mind.

There are thirty warships, and there are countless assault boats and red horse boats!

Finally, after thinking about it, Han Shizhong decided to use Dianjiang City as the foundation and lead the army himself. Of course, the military commander still brought Wu Yunzhao.

The rest were led by Xu Shu, Li Shimin, Duan Tian and others defended Dianjiang City. After all, his plan had some flaws, that is, Dianjiang City must be defended.

Wu Yunzhao selected [-] elite soldiers from the army, started ten warships, and brought countless assault boats, Chimazhou, and set out on the road in a mighty manner.

There was a Chu army stationed in Jiangzhou City. After seeing the large fleet of warships, they thought they were coming to attack. They were frightened at once, and hurriedly called the soldiers to the tower to prepare for the battle. Just passing by for a while, without even saying hello, he has already retreated by himself.

"Hurry up and inform the Jiangyang defenders, saying that the Shu fleet has gone and returned!" the Jiangzhou defender shouted loudly.

Immediately dispatched messengers to go to Jiangyang.

It's just that marching on land has never been faster than on water. Before the scouts from Jiangzhou arrived at Jianyang City, they were standing on the tower, ready to fight the Chu army. Xiang Sheng saw Han Shizhong standing on the bow of the ship. Passing through the center of the Yangtze River, I actually smiled at myself.

Xiang Sheng didn't react until all the fleet had passed, and shouted loudly: "No, there's going to be a problem! They're heading towards Bodao City. If my predictions are correct, Han Shizhong is going straight to Huanglong. , Go upstream and attack Chengdu."

Huang Gai took a deep breath: "Han Shizhong is not us. Bodao City and Jiazhou City are all part of their Shu Kingdom. It has only been a few days since our army took over. If Han Shizhong goes, I'm afraid it will be overthrown." danger."

"Huang Gai, you lead the army to Bodao right away, that's not right...go straight to Chengdu, join forces with Gan Ning, and I will lead the army to stay and deal with Han Shizhong here."

There were more than [-] Chu troops in Jiangyang City. Xiang Sheng seemed to have some support, and asked Huang Gai to mobilize [-] troops to Chengdu. He himself only left [-] troops in Jiangyang City.

Before leaving, Xiang Sheng warned many times that the army he brought down from the north was familiar with land warfare, and the people in the army were Chu people at any time, but they were not familiar with water warfare!

That's why when he came down from the north, he knew how many defenders there were in Dianjiang City, but Xiang Sheng was still very knowledgeable, so he turned around and went straight to Jiangzhou to attack the city by land.

In essence, it seems that there will not be much difference, but in fact there will be such a difference; it does not mean that northerners will definitely get seasick after getting on the boat, while southerners will get seasick after getting into the water. You must be able to swim; geographical boundaries are only a cultural distinction that can be made to a large extent.

Huang Zhong understood that if you can call it an army if you just recruit a bunch of people, the army would be too many.

The [-] troops set off along the official road along the river, and their speed may not be comparable to the Shu army who traveled by water.Although the warships of the Shu army sailed against the current, all the cabins were rowed by strong men.

Han Shizhong promised these elite peasants that as long as all of them show their desperate spirit, after this battle, everyone can obtain the lowest rank of title, that is, public servant, and can directly obtain land and houses from the state.

As for all the soldiers in the army, according to the old rules, they were promoted to three ranks of nobility, and their treatment also increased accordingly.

If you don't stimulate the soldiers in the army like this, who is willing to work hard?

The Chu army couldn't keep up with the speed of the Shu army's new ships, but it didn't mean that the Shu army didn't find the Chu army.

Han Shizhong ordered the soldiers in the army to find out the number of people who had been chased by the Chu army.

Not long after, the sailors in the red horse boats came back to report that they had already figured out the situation. The leader of the Chu army was Huang Gai. From the count of the army, the number was about [-] to [-].

"Speed ​​up the marching speed, and slow down after the army passes Bodao City." Han Shizhong immediately ordered.

Although Wu Yunzhao couldn't understand why Han Shizhong did this, he passed on the order without hesitation.

With Wu Yunzhao waving the command flag, all the generals on the warships were urging the warships to move forward rapidly.

Starting from Dianjiang City, it took one day to reach Jiangyang; starting from Jiangyang, it only took one and a half days to reach Bodao City!
Bodao's side now only belongs to Chu State in name, but the thousands of defenders in the city are still from the former Shu State.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Han Shizhong ordered the warship to approach Bodao City, and shouted: "I am Han Shizhong, so where is the guard of Bodao City?"

"The last general, Ouyang Qi, is ashamed to face the general!"

As soon as Han Shizhong's words fell, a general climbed up the tower and responded loudly to Han Shizhong's words.

"Okay! Since you still admit that I, Han Shizhong, is the general, then open the city gate and welcome the army into the city."

Ouyang Qi shouted loudly: "Forgive me for not following orders!"

"Why?" Han Shizhong asked knowingly.

"This is Li Taigong's order to surrender to the Chu State. Even if the general is still alive, can he still surpass Li Taigong?" Ouyang Qi gritted his teeth and shouted in a muffled voice: "The general in our army is a man, so the general is still Let's leave earlier, there is a lord in charge of the state of Chu in Bodao City, after that lord arrives, it won't be so easy for the general to come and go as he pleases."
