Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 191
"Uncle Sun Tong, the lower official, I have met the right general, please issue an order to push the lower official out of the account immediately and behead him!"

"What does Mr. Shusun mean by this? You ventured into the city to negotiate with the Tyrant Qin army. No matter what the result is, you have no merit or fault. Why did this general want you to die?"

"The lower officials did not dare to lie to the right general. Gao Jing, the prefect of Yingchuan, who was a tyrant to the Qin Dynasty, invited the lower officials to enter the city to discuss the surrender of Kaesong. It was actually just a trap. When the soldiers captured him, the old thief Gao Jing would take the subordinate officials to the city of Yangzhai and kill (dismember) them in the first place, and use the blood of the subordinate officials to pay homage to the tyrannical Qin court he was foolishly loyal to."

"Is there such a thing? How did you come back, sir?"

"This is exactly the reason why the lower official wants to ask the right general to die. The lower official is not afraid of death. He can die loyally for the right general. The lower official is even more worthy of death. Although death is an honor, but in order to continue to serve you, the right general, Continuing to assist General You to overthrow the Tyrant Qin and restore the state of Chu, but the lower officials are unwilling to do so. They have no choice but to confuse right and wrong. It was forced into your tent, General You, who still misses Tyrant Qin in his heart, and said something very disrespectful to you, General You, which tricked old thief Gao Jing into believing it was true and released the lower officials from the city."

Not to mention, Mr. Shusun is really an upright and straightforward moral gentleman. After picking up a life by chance and returning to the Young Marshal's camp, Mr. Shusun didn't hesitate at all, and immediately pulled himself in front of Gao Jing The big lie told Xiang Kang the truth, and he didn't even hide the disrespectful words he said to Xiang Kang behind his back, and told Xiang Kang honestly.The result was exactly as Mr. Uncle Sun expected. Xiang Kang, who is very reasonable and reasonable, did not mind such a trivial matter. What is it to say a few disrespectful words behind my back?"

"Thank you, General You, for your kindness, but I have also committed a serious crime, and I have to report it to General You. In order to win the trust of old thief Gao Jing, this official was so bold that he even gave old thief Gao Jing the garrison picture of our army camp. "

Mr. Uncle Sun was still honest and honest, and he took the initiative to admit his crime of betraying the important military information of the Young Marshal Army. As a result, Xiang Kang's face finally changed a little, and the faces of Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and others beside him also turned dark, but Fortunately, Mr. Shusun immediately reported that he did it with a conspiracy, and wanted to take the opportunity to lure Gao Jing to send troops to attack the camp of the Young Marshal Army, so that the Young Marshal Army could set up traps to ambush the Qin Army out of the city, and then he introduced his trick. He said that Gao Jing had been deceived and decided to send troops to rob the camp tonight, and asked Xiang Kang to make preparations early to wipe out the Yangdi Qin army who came out of the city for a surprise attack at night.

Naturally, after hearing this situation, Xiang Kang, who was worried about the loss of the strong city, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Is there such a good thing? Come on, Mr. Shusun, tell me the details of this matter carefully." , the more careful the better."

According to Xiang Kang's instructions, Mr. Uncle Sun carefully stated what he believed, even some insignificant details. Of course, Xiang Kang was even more happy when he heard it. If you go out of the city to rob the camp, then sir, you have done a great service for us, and this general will definitely reward you heavily!"

Mr. Uncle Sun hurriedly thanked him, but Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping who were next to him frowned. Li Shiqi, who was also a Confucian scholar like Mr. Uncle Sun, said directly: "General You, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, right? As the lord of a county, how could the old man easily listen to Mr. Shusun's one-sided words? He would be moved by his few words and rashly decide to venture out of the city to attack our camp tonight? The old man is worried that Gao Jing may be playing hard to get, Pretending to be tricked."

"Old man, did this old man dig your family's ancestral grave or throw your son into the well? Why is he always against me? I was forced to take risks in the city before, but now that I have made meritorious service, I doubt my meritorious deeds again." true and false?"

Mr. Shusun was furious in his heart, but he was afraid that Xiang Kang was on the scene, so he didn't dare to express it immediately.But fortunately, Xiang Kang did not obliterate Mr. Shusun's achievements because of Li Shiqi's worries, and said with a smile: "Mr. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter much."

After saying that, Xiang Kang immediately sent someone to announce Uncle Zhou to see him, and after Uncle Zhou came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Kang had just finished explaining the situation, and Uncle Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Good opportunity! It’s not about pretending to be tricked, whether it’s going to play hard to get, this is a great opportunity for us to seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy.”

"What do you mean by General Zhou's words?" Li Shiqi asked in surprise, "If the Tyrant Qin army pretended to be in the trap, then it must be a lie that they robbed the camp tonight. The enemy's actions, and the great opportunity to take the opportunity to destroy the enemy?"

Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou laughed together, and then Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, we don't need to know the real intentions and actions of the Tyrant Qin army in advance, we just need the Tyrant Qin army to leave the city. Without preparation, even if the Tyrant Qin army played a hundred tricks, it would be doomed to die in vain in front of us!"

Li Shiqi was astonished, but Uncle Zhou couldn't wait, and immediately said to Xiang Kang: "General You, the Korean soldiers and horses follow your order, and at night they will go to the South Gate and East Gate of Yangzhai to beat the drums and gongs to disturb the guards on the city." Army, if the Tyrant Qin army goes out of the city to attack at night, it will definitely not go out of the city through the south gate or the east gate. The terrain outside the north gate is narrow, and the dispatch of troops remains unchanged. It’s not too big, but it’s the most convenient for the Tyrant Qin army to go out of the city through the west gate of Yangzhai, we should plan our tactics in advance to ensure that we can annihilate the soldiers and horses of the Tyrant Qin army going out of the city.”

Xiang Kang smiled, nodded vigorously with a ferocious expression, and said, "It's a big deal to wait all night, but this opportunity must not be missed!"

…………

Li Shiqi was right to be worried. Although impulsively, he adopted Mr. Uncle Sun's suggestion and decided to venture out of the city to attack the camp of the Young Marshal Army. However, after sending Mr. Uncle Sun out of the city, Gao Jing excitedly summoned the Qin army When the generals were discussing the tactics of the sneak attack, a relatively calm general of the Qin Army still raised doubts, saying: "Junzun, is it too risky to make a hasty decision to sneak attack and rob the camp just based on the one-sided words of the bandit envoy?"

"Junzun, the last general also thinks it's too risky." Another calmer general of the Qin army also said: "Although that uncle Sun Tong kept saying that he was still loyal to Daqin, but people's hearts are so deep, who can guarantee that he is doing it for his life. Is it just a temporary nonsense? If this is the case, he went back and told the traitor Xiang Kang the truth, and the traitor Xiang Kang set up a trap in advance for us to exploit, wouldn't our camp robbery army be in danger?"

The words of the two generals finally restored Gao Jing’s composure. After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Jing couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, because Gao Jing couldn’t guarantee whether Shusun Tong was lying to him, but he thought about it for a while. Finally, out of face and unwilling to miss this only chance to keep Yang Zhai, Gao Jing still bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, Shusun Tong is my old friend, I know him well, he will never He is willing to join forces with the thieves, and he has already made a solemn oath, and he will never go back on his word."

After all, Gao Jing also said: "We must not miss this opportunity. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is outnumbered. If we can't seize this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, completely reverse the situation of the battle, and if the stalemate continues, sooner or later Yang Di will be defeated." It was breached by the Chu and Han bandits. So we have to take this risk. We have to take advantage of the opportunity of the bandits to take precautions temporarily, and fight to the death with the Chu and Han bandits. Only in this way can we have a chance to keep Yang Di and our army. "

Seeing Gao Jing's insistence, the two generals of the Qin army no longer objected, but said again: "Junzun, in this case, it is best for us to divide the robbery army into two teams, the front team is responsible for raiding the bandit camp, and the rear team Responsible for responding, if the situation is wrong, you can immediately withdraw to the city to defend the city."

Of course, Gao Jing would not refuse such a prudent suggestion. At present, Gao Jing and the generals of the Qin army quickly agreed on the tactics of robbing the camp, and decided to dispatch two thousand troops to the west gate of Yangdi to leave the city at night and attack the young commander in the south of Yangdi city. In the military camp, before and after the division of troops, the front team of 500 people is responsible for sneak attacking the gate of the Young Marshal's camp. If the progress goes well, the rear team will follow in to expand the results. The main force immediately withdrew to the west gate of Yangzhai and returned to the city, while the front team detoured from the east gate to the north gate to enter the city, so as to attract the pursuit of the young generals and prevent the main force from being severely injured.

After the tactics were decided, the Qin army quickly prepared for the night battle. However, as the sky gradually became dark, Gao Jing gradually retreated in his heart. All are used to defend the city.But still the same sentence, this is indeed the only chance for the Yangdi Qin army to turn defeat into victory. If you miss it, the Yangdi Qin army is still doomed to escape the city-breaking soldiers when the young commander-in-chief with overwhelming strength is ready to attack the city and formally launch a full-scale attack Therefore, after much hesitation, Gao Jing gritted his teeth and decided to send troops according to the original plan, taking a big risk.

"Master Kong Qiu, please be sure to bless your disciple Shusun Tong to be faithful in his words, help me temporarily stabilize Xiang Kang's traitor, and give me a chance to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If I succeed tonight, I will report to you Emperor, please make more use of your Confucian disciples."

After silently praying to Kong Laoer for a while, Gao Jing, who was over fifty years old, put on his clothes in person at two o'clock in the morning, and led two thousand soldiers of the Qin army out of the city from the west gate of Yangzhai. The Young Marshal's camp in the south of Yangzhai City.The result was not bad. The Han army squad that had to go to the city every once in a while to beat gongs and drums to harass them were all active outside the south gate and east gate of Yangdi, and the Qin army's whereabouts were not noticed by them. The Qin army's troops, which were separated by a few miles, one after the other, very smoothly touched the outside of the young commander's barracks with few lights.

When the clapper rang at the third watch, the Qin army's front team lurking outside the young commander's barracks immediately made a move. Under the cover of night, they quietly touched the front of the young commander's camp. The camp gate was opened on the ground, but when the camp gate was pushed open, the sentinel of the Young Marshal who was sleeping beside the gate woke up, shouted and rushed into the camp, and at the same time beat the gong desperately to call the police. The front team of the army was overjoyed, and immediately roared and rushed into the camp of the young commander's army, and rushed to the grain and grass storage position of the young commander's army without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Qin army behind were all overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to ask Gao Jing to order the charge immediately, but Gao Jing was very calm and said: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see the situation."

Gao Jing's calmness saved the main force of the Qin army's rear. Before he could finish his words, countless war drums were beating together in the middle camp of the Young Marshal's Army, as if the sky was falling apart. Immediately, there was a loud noise of killing, and an army on the left and right rushed out, rushing towards the front team of the Qin army like a tide. The front team of the Qin army was shocked when they saw it, and hurriedly shouted and ran for their lives.Gao Jing behind was also pale, and shouted without thinking: "It's been tricked! Get out!"

The rear team of the Qin army turned around in a hurry, Gao Jing hurriedly turned his horse's head, he still didn't forget to greet his old friend Shusuntong loudly, and roared wildly: "Shusuntong boy, I will kill you shameless villain with my own hands! "

What made Gao Jing even more distraught was still behind. The Qin Army's rear team had just started to flee for their lives, and the gate of the West Camp of the Young Marshal's Army had already opened at night. Come on, Gao Jing was shocked, he could only yell quickly: "Quick! Quick! Quick! Go back to Ximen!"

Fortunately, the dark night covered the whereabouts of the Qin Army's rear team, and the sound of war drums in the young marshal's barracks and the shouts of the front battalion also covered up the voices of the Qin Army's rear team. It was not quickly discovered by the cavalry of the Young Marshal Army, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they quickly retreated to the vicinity of the west gate of Yangdi.However, just as the rear of the Qin Army rushed towards the city gate, the soldiers of the Qin Army who ran at the front suddenly screamed like killing pigs, "There are bandits!"

According to the book, in order to ensure the annihilation of the Qin army's army leaving the city, Xiang Kang arranged in advance for Zhong Limei to lead two thousand troops out of the camp after dark, and under the cover of night, they went back to the west gate of Yangdi to ambush in the distance without lighting a torch. Not to mention not sending scouts to scout out the enemy's situation, trying to avoid revealing their whereabouts, or rushing to the west gate of Yangzhai only after hearing the sound of war drums in the camp of the young marshal's army, cutting off the Qin army's way back to the city.As a result, this move really had a miraculous effect. The panicked Qin army's rear team bumped into the Zhongli Mei army who had just arrived at the west gate of Yangdi, and was immediately drawn into a melee by the young commander.

At this time, the cavalry of the Young Marshal Army who heard the sound of killing had also chased to the front, and rushed to the rear of the Qin Army from behind. The generals of the Qin Army were flustered and their strength was at a disadvantage. Countless soldiers were forced to jump off the moat and swim across the river to escape in the cold winter. Gao Jing, who was unwilling to die, also took off his armor, jumped into the icy moat, and swam to the other side of the moat.However, the young generals under Zhongli Mo's command were also crazy. Regardless of the Qin soldiers on the city wall shooting arrows and falling rocks, they just rushed across the moat from the bridge and went to the other side of the moat to hunt down the soldiers of the Qin army. Try to eliminate the enemy outside to reduce the resistance of the siege.

Gao Jing was lucky. After swimming across the river in chaos, not only was he not immediately blocked by the young commander's soldiers, but he quickly grabbed a rope that was lowered from the city and climbed the city wall to escape. Some of the soldiers of the Qin army were in bad luck. They were either directly hacked to death by the young commander on the bank of the moat, or they were stabbed to death with spears by the soldiers of the young commander when they went to the city, and they were directly dragged off by the young commander's sword. The city wall was then pecked to death by Luan Ge. Only three or forty people were as lucky as Gao Jing, who could escape down the city wall with the help of ropes.

The soldiers of the Qin army on the other side of the moat ended in even worse condition. Many of them were directly trampled into meat paste by the horseshoes of the young commander's cavalry, and more soldiers were hacked to death by the young commander's army, and it was useless to escape. As long as the cavalry of the Young Marshal Army roaming around saw the soldiers of the Qin Army fleeing from the battlefield, they would immediately rush up to greet them with spears, and trample their horses back and forth. The officers and soldiers of the Young Commander kept roaring, with red eyes, they would never let any enemy go.

On the contrary, the situation of the front team of the Qin Army was even better. According to the original plan, after the front team of the Qin Army escaped from the camp of the Young Marshal, they immediately scrambled and scrambled to escape from the east gate, and accidentally bumped into A Korean army squad that implemented harassment tactics roared and cut down and stabbed many Korean troops, and achieved the only result of this night attack. Arrived near the north gate of Yangdi.

But that's all. Although the distance is far away, there is little hope that the Qin army will be able to escape to the North Gate of Yangdi, but Xiang Kang, who has sufficient troops, still sent a thousand troops to the north to ambush near the North Gate of Yangdi in advance. , so the former army of the Qin Army still failed to escape the bad luck of being intercepted by the young generals. As a result, the Qin army's defense forces were severely damaged.

The disparity between strength and weakness is too great, and there is no suspense about the outcome. Xiang Kang just issued a general offensive order and never cared about the progress of the war. He was very relieved to take a nap in the Chinese army tent. When all the generals returned to Xiang Kang to give orders, Xiang Kang only asked how much he had captured. He learned that the soldiers of his own army had almost wiped out the Qin army out of the city, and only a few soldiers of the Qin army fled back to the city. Kang Cai smiled lightly and said, "Very well, now we will definitely be able to attack the city much more easily."

But there is also an annoying thing. When the sky was bright, Han Cheng and Zhang Liang visited Xiang Kang in the camp. Apart from congratulating Xiang Kang, they also complained, blaming Xiang Kang for not notifying them in advance. The news, let them also prepare in advance, so that they can pick up some bargains in yesterday's night battle.Xiang Kang had no choice but to smile wryly and said: "King Han, Uncle Zhang, in fact, I was not sure that I could catch this opportunity last night. I didn't notify you, and I didn't want you to work hard like us. You might wait all night for nothing." .”

After saying that, Xiang Kang told Han Cheng and Zhang Liang the details of the incident, and said clearly: "Although I am prepared for an ambush, I am also mentally prepared for a waste of hard work, because I I can't guarantee whether the old man Gao Jing will regret it afterwards. He feels that it is too risky to temporarily abandon the night attack plan. He has no confidence at all. He doesn't want you to wait for nothing like us, so I didn't inform you. Thinking of our luck, we actually tricked the Tyrant Qin army out of the city."

Han Cheng and Zhang Liang were speechless together, and they had to admire Xiang Kang's luck, he was able to fool the Yangdi Qin army into going out of the city to die by blindly talking nonsense to the envoys he sent.Then, after complimenting Xiang Kang's great fortune, Han Cheng said unwillingly: "General You, in the night battle last night, the soldiers under the widow's command were unlucky. The defeated soldiers of the army were killed by them. In addition, Yangzhai's Tyrant Qin army shot and killed the widowed eunuch Han Yang. He had a deep hatred with our Korean soldiers. When attacking the city, he asked the right general to agree. Let us Korean soldiers be the vanguard of the siege, first launch the siege, and avenge our sacrificed soldiers and Han Yang's servants."

Knowing that Han Cheng wanted to show as much as possible, so as not to be ashamed to speak up when dividing up the victory, but since Han Cheng offered to be cannon fodder, Xiang Kang would certainly not refuse, and immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I will work hard for King Han when the time comes." The generals under his command."
