Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 210 When thinking about the strategy of breaking the city, it will change later.

As the dawn came, the murderous aura was soaring in the city of Kuxing, and the smell of blood spread boundlessly.

Even if the killing is over, the breath will never dissipate in an instant.The bloody smell raged, as if reminding people of the crime that just happened.

……

Although Chen Yu's army defeated the defenders, the loss was too great to make up for in a short time.In the hall, everyone hurriedly ate a pot of fat mutton, with sad faces.

From the day the army broke through Kuxing, the group has been thinking about the strategy for this step, how to break through Dongyuan with the least cost.

After all, the loss of breaking Kuxing is too great, and Chen Yuxiang Sanqian and others couldn't accept it for a while.Compared with the entire Hengshan County, its advantages almost no longer exist.

Even because the news was leaked, the Nanpi army was at a certain disadvantage at this time.Chen Yuzhi's overall balance is very clear. Once Hengshan County gathers soldiers from all counties, it will inevitably increase its strength by several times.

Kuxing City lost [-] troops, and now Nanpi's army was only [-]. This made Chen Yu lose his courage.

According to the information collected before, there are five thousand soldiers in the middle county of Hengshan County, and the total number of soldiers in all counties and counties definitely exceeds five thousand.Although the combat power is not high, the army already has an absolute advantage in numbers.

Chen Yu, who was at the top, looked like a torch: "Everyone, Kuxing City is broken, and Dongyuan is only one step away from our army. As long as the army advances, it will be able to completely control Hengshan County."

When Chen Yu said these words, everyone was silent, and no one responded for a while.

Xiang Sanqian and the others had their own thoughts in their minds, and they were very clear about the current situation. Naturally, they knew that it was far more serious than what Chen Yu said.

The Nanpi army at this moment can be described as a dilemma.It is extremely difficult to go forward and back, and there is only a choice between life and death.

After the two sides were in a stalemate for a quarter of an hour, Xiang Sanqian also knew that it was not an option to continue the stalemate.Standing at the juncture of choice, whether it is for life or death or for the future, you must take this step.

Thinking of this, Xiang Sanqian remembered that he had just finished counting the casualties in a hurry, and bowed solemnly: "Nanhou, our army suffered a total of 370 casualties overnight, more than [-] horses dropped sharply, and some infantry equipment, bows and crossbows were lost and damaged. cannot continue to be used."

"A small Kuxing is neither an important pass nor the seat of Hengshan County. For our army, such a loss is too great. Should we immediately mobilize the Qi army to go north for support?"

Xiang Sanqian's words represented the meaning of everyone. Breaking a city that was already defended with an army of [-] was nothing but nonsense.

Not to mention that Chen Yu led it, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, couldn't be so evil.Today's Hengshan County's army is at least [-], although the Nanpi army is brave and good at fighting, but the difference in numbers is too great.

Even if Dongyuan is dispatched immediately, I'm afraid it won't be broken in the first place, but a huge trap is waiting for him and others.

Chen Yu could understand the worries of Xiang Sanqian and the others.Because he also has the same worry in his heart, and he also knows nothing about the future.

Just embarked on this road of no return, even though the road ahead is long, he has no way out.Thinking of this, Chen Yu's tone became harsh in vain: "Don't you all think that now you and I still have a way out?"

"If we don't succeed, we will be benevolent. Once we fail, the [-] Qi troops in Pingyuan will probably retreat immediately. Because we are losers, we cannot bring enough benefits to King Qi."

"So since the army left Nanpi, there is only one way for us to wait, and that is to occupy Hengshan County and welcome King Zhao back!"

Chen Yu's clattering words made the rest of the people stunned.In an instant, Xiang Sanqian and the others came to their senses.Indeed, from the moment they stepped out of the three counties of Nanpi, there was no way out.

Thinking of this, Xiang Sanqian and the others stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Yu: "Please order Nan Hou to break through Dongyuan and create a way to reach the sky."

"Ah."

Slightly nodding his head, he saw that everyone was working together, united as one.Chen Yu immediately made a decision: purge the army, and set off immediately after an hour. "

"At the same time, the Qi army in the Feishu Plain will immediately launch an attack on Julu and help our army."

"Wei!" Nodding in agreement, Xiang Sanqian and the others strode away.

At this moment, Chen Yu had only one thought.That is a dangerous move by soldiers, starting from the most incredible direction, and taking down Dongyuan in one fell swoop.

This is the only way, the matter has come to this point, Chen Yu and others have no choice.

……

By the time it got dark, Nanpi's army had all rushed to Dongyuan.The Kuxing county government, which was buzzing with people just now, is already empty.

This time it was still the same. For safety reasons, Chen Yu ordered the army to stay out day and night.

At the same time, the rangers were dispatched in a fan shape in a large area. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, everyone they met along the way, regardless of their age, would be killed without mercy.

Three days later, the army appeared ten miles away from Dongyuan City.Because Chen Yu was extremely careful during this trip, and at the same time he was out at night, reducing the possibility of exposure.

Coupled with the fact that there were only three thousand troops, they naturally perfectly avoided Chen Chu's eyeliner.

The army hides in the mountains and forests, and the scouts hunt and kill the hunters.Chen Yu's gaze was like a torch, and he only stared at the largest river in the north - the Huchi River, his eyes flickering on and off.

Chen Yu knew that if he wanted to reduce casualties and break Dongyuan at the same time, he had to outsmart him.You can only go slant with your sword and come up with a trick, and this Pochi River is the best choice.

"Our army has been approaching Dongyuan for a day. I don't know when Nanhou will attack the city?" Xiang Sanqian hurried over with a certain bitterness in his expression.

A large army of more than 3000 people cannot be bored in the mountains every day.Especially now that it is autumn, and winter is about to come, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow.

Whether it is an army or a war horse, the issue of food and grass is a big problem.Because of this, Xiang Sanqian had no choice but to force Chen Yu.

"Siege the city?" Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "There is a saying in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": Therefore, the method of using troops is to encircle them with ten, attack them with five, fight them with multiples, and divide the enemy. If it is small, you can keep it, if it is not, you can avoid it.”

"Sir, do you think we can break through Dongyuan with the strength of our army?"

Xiang Sanqian was stunned by Chen Yu's question.As Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Ten is to encircle, five is to attack.

The current Nanpi army only has [-] people. Whether it is besieging or attacking the city, it is a bit unrealistic.

Thinking to this point, Xiang Sanqian couldn't help bowing deeply, and said: "Nanhou, the army should not stay for a long time. Think of a way to break the city, otherwise there will be changes."

……

In desperation, Xiang Sanqian had no choice but to point out.No matter what the future holds, Chen Yu's foothold at this moment is still based on the [-] army.

Xiang Sanqian felt that it was necessary for him to remind Chen Yu that he must not give up his foundation just because of the sudden success.
