Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 424
In fact, Han Xin’s copying of Xiang Kang’s strategy of exhausting soldiers still had a lot of effect. The continuous harassment for two consecutive nights made the newcomers of the Han army suffer a lot. Manufacturing siege weapons, mining and transporting stone mines to prepare shells for counterweight trebuchets, and guarding against the sudden dispatch of troops by the Nanyang Army, even if they could take turns to rest, the biological clock was severely disrupted, resulting in insufficient rest for the Han army soldiers and morale. Together with physical strength, it was also affected a lot.

Among them, the camps of the main force of the Han army are relatively good, with sufficient troops. As long as the night duty team is arranged, and there are cavalry to kill and drive away the disturbing squad of the Nanyang Army, most of the soldiers will not be affected by the disturbing tactics of the Nanyang Army. It's not necessary to get up and put on your clothes every time to prepare for battle, but the quality of sleep is affected, which is barely tolerable. However, the Ding Ji Division of the Han Army's partial division stationed outside the west gate of Wancheng is different.

The troops are relatively thin, and the rotation frequency of Ding Ji's troops on duty is naturally high, and the camp area is small. As long as the Nanyang Army's disturbing team beats drums and gongs outside the camp, it can immediately wake up the entire Han Army camp. Kang greeted Ding Ji again, and strictly prohibited Ding Ji from sending troops out of the camp at night. There was no way to expel the Nanyang Army’s disturbing squad outside the camp. Building camps and digging trenches and other heavy physical work, so after two nights, the Han army partial division went up to Ding Ji himself, down to ordinary soldiers, almost none of them had turned into panda eyes, yawned and snored standing up, it was extremely hard work .

It was the same on the third night. As soon as it got dark, the arrogant Nanyang Army squad began to run outside the camp of the Han Army's Partial Division to make noise. , had to gather urgently to prepare for battle every time, and it was futile every time, tossing in vain but not seeing half of the enemy, Ding Ji, who had a heavy responsibility, even dared not disarm even when he slept, and every time he was beaten Even if you wake up, you have to get up quickly. In fact, the hard work is still on top of the soldiers of the Han army who are only responsible for fighting.

Half of it was out of good intentions, and half of it was to please Ding Ji. After getting up several times with Ding Ji in the middle of the night, the captain of the personal army couldn't help but persuade Ding Ji: "General, the Nanyang bandit army made it clear You're bluffing, it's impossible to be serious, you should rest at ease. Don't blame the villain for speaking badly, if you continue like this, you will be exhausted sooner or later."

"Don't dare to rest in peace." Ding Ji yawned, and said helplessly: "The Nanyang bandit army bullied our young soldiers. If it is true that one out of ten false ones suddenly appears, [-]% of them will attack our camp. , our fortress has not yet been fully built, how dare I rest in peace?"

Having said that helplessly, Ding Ji comforted his own soldiers in turn: "Two more nights of hard work, at most two more days, and our camp will be complete. By then, we can rest assured during the day and relax at night. gone."

Facts have proved that Ding Ji's prudence and conscientiousness are very correct. When the night was about to watch the third watch, a guard at the camp gate of the Han army who was dozing off was suddenly awakened by an abnormal noise. When he opened his eyes to take a closer look, this The guard of the Han army was horrified to see that the two companions who were sleeping on the door had fallen to the ground, and the thick door bolt had also fallen to the ground. The guard of the Han army did not dare to hesitate, so he hurried He screamed like a pig butcher, "Enemy attack! Call the police! Call the police!"

"Kill!"

Then the shouts sounded, the gate of the camp was quickly pushed open, and a group of black shadows shouted and rushed into the camp, without saying a word, they chopped down the Han soldier who first raised the alarm, and then brandished their weapons to kill him. The other Han soldiers who were awakened, and then more black shadows swarmed into the camp, snatched the torches that the Han army had put on the gate and threw them on the adjacent Han army tents, and threw them with them. The grass genus fueled the combustion, adding to the chaos in the Han army camp, and the shouts of killing and the sound of alarm gongs immediately resounded through the front camp of the Han army's partial division.

Thanks to Ding Ji's previous arrangements, the night duty team of the Han army was still vigilant. Hearing the sound of killing, he rushed out quickly. It was an opportunity to rush into the camp area of ​​the Han army soldiers to kill and set fire. However, because they were still killed by the Nanyang army and caught off guard, many Han army tents near the camp gate were still set on fire by the Nanyang army, and there was chaos near the camp gate. There are flames and smoke everywhere, and there are soldiers from the two armies fighting each other everywhere.

At the same time, Ding Ji has already rushed out of the tent. Seeing that the Nanyang Army really came suddenly during ten holidays and successfully broke through the camp gate of his own army, Ding Ji cursed at first, then dared not hesitate, Hurry up and send people to send orders to all the battalions to get all the soldiers of the Han army to stand up and assemble. At the same time, for the sake of caution, Ding Ji naturally sent people to rush to the main camp of the Han army to report to Xiang Kang that his camp was suddenly attacked by the enemy. Condition.

Ding Ji's army was stationed eight miles away from the west gate of Wancheng, about thirteen or four miles away from the main camp of the Han army. The messenger sent by Ding Ji hurriedly sent the news to the Han army in just over half an hour. In front of the gate of the main camp of the army, the generals of the Han army immediately reported the situation to Xiang Kang. The one who died was naturally Gongsun Tong, the general of the Han army who was in charge of leading the army on duty tonight.

According to common sense, although Gongsun Tong's soldiers are all in a state of preparation for battle, and the dry food torches have been distributed in advance, they can go out to reinforce Ding Ji's camp at any time. However, for the safety of the main camp, Xiang Kang should not use Gongsun Tong's army. right.But after thinking about it for a while, Xiang Kang told Gongsun Tong: "Gongsun Tong, immediately lead your army out of the camp to assemble, and when you receive the order, immediately go to reinforce Ding Ji's camp!"

"The last general will lead the army out of the camp to assemble now?" Gongsun Tong was a little dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "Then what about the safety of our main camp?"

"Don't worry, the king has his own arrangements!" Xiang Kang replied, and then urged: "Remember, although the Nanyang bandits attacked Ding Ji's camp, we must prevent them from encircling the spot for reinforcements. After you send troops to rescue Ding Ji's camp, you will probably be ambushed by the Nanyang bandits. If this is the case, don't panic, take your army to fight with all your strength, and just deal with the Nanyang bandits who ambushed you. Nanyang bandits If you lose, go after it with all your strength! You don't have to think about other issues, this king will make arrangements!"

Seeing that Xiang Kang had made up his mind, Gongsun Tong didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately rushed out to lead the troops under his command out of the camp to assemble and wait for orders. Xiang Kang then ordered his soldiers to beat the drums immediately, so that all the main soldiers of the Han army stood up and prepared for battle. The general of the Han army, Zhong Limei, was the second to rush into the Chinese army's tent to wait for his orders. Xiang Kang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Zhong Limei to organize the army under his command to take over the task of protecting the main camp of the Han army from Gongsun Tong's army. The ignorant army immediately entered the combat position and strictly guarded against the Nanyang army from attacking the main camp of the Han army.

Another general of the Han army, Long Qie, was the third person who came to Xiang Kang to wait for his orders. Xiang Kang continued to order, and ordered Long Qie to lead his troops to gather at the south gate of the camp immediately and wait for orders.Then, Xiang Kang ordered Zeng Ji and Chong Jun to lead [-] troops to the north gate and west gate of Wancheng respectively to prepare for the battle, and asked them to fight resolutely without any hesitation once they encountered the enemy.Finally, Xiang Kang ordered Guan Ying to lead the main force of the Han cavalry to assemble, and also to gather in the north gate of the camp to serve as the general reserve of the Han army, ready to reinforce the Han army at all times.

All the civil and military personnel of the Han army were stupefied by Xiang Kang's arrangements. Even Chen Ping, who was already a roundworm in Xiang Kang's stomach, couldn't help but said, "My lord, is that too exaggerated? It's just that General Ding Ji's camp was attacked, and even the enemy We don't know how many troops have been dispatched, so there is no need for us to dispatch so many troops in one go, right?"

"Because I don't know how that traitor Han Xin arranged and how he plans to fight!" Xiang Kang replied confidently, and said, "So there is no way, we can only rely on the army, and rely on our strength to make the most comprehensive preparations. Force down ten meetings, so that Han Xin's treacherous tricks cannot be used!"

"But if the Nanyang bandit army just dispatched a group of soldiers and horses to attack General Ding Ji's camp, and we are so laborious, will our soldiers' hard work be in vain?" Zhang Liang questioned.

"It won't be in vain. Our camp will be built soon. This is Han Xin's last chance for traitors. He will definitely not just send an army to fight a camp robbery without absolute certainty." Xiang Kang said with a sneer: "Taking a step back, even if the Nanyang Army really only dispatched one route of soldiers and horses, our hard work will not be in vain. You don't even think about it. Even if we just wiped out two thousand Nanyang bandit troops tonight, we can do it when we attack the city." How much pressure will be reduced? When attacking the city, how much more will we have to pay if we want to wipe out two thousand Nanyang bandit troops?!"

Zhang Liang kept his mouth shut, and Xiang Kang ordered the generals of the Han army to follow the order immediately, and ordered Gongsun Tong, who had already assembled from the camp, to lead the army to set off immediately and rush to the camp of Ding Ji army to rescue at full speed.And then, Xiang Kang personally picked up the pen again, and quickly wrote a handwritten warrant to Ding Ji, asking Ding Ji to allocate half of his troops to launch a counterattack immediately after he stabilized his position, to wipe out the Nanyang Army that sneaked into the Han army's side division camp, and asked Ding Ji to fight back. Ji must be chased to the end, and he must not miss the precious opportunity to fight against the Nanyang Army!

It was only after Xu Ji sent a fast horse to send the order away that Xiang Kang sat up straight and said with a ferocious expression: "Han Xin, I know that I may not be able to beat you in tactics, but it doesn't matter, I have more soldiers than you." , the capital is higher than yours, even if it is a pile of soldiers, I will pile you up to death!"

…………

At the same time, on the north gate of Wancheng, Liu Laosan and Han Xin had already received the news that the self-army had successfully attacked the Han army's partial division camp. However, Liu Laosan was not very happy. In the direction of the main camp of the army, Han Xin saw his thoughts and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the traitor Xiang Kang asked Ding Jipifu to station his troops at the west gate of Wancheng. Jipifu's camp. Now that we have swallowed the bait, Dingjipifu's camp is really in danger. The traitor Xiang Kang will definitely not sit idly by. He will send reinforcements to Dingjipifu in a short time .”

"Of course I know this." Liu Laosan, who has a very keen sixth sense, frowned and replied, "But I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy, and I can't let go."

"Normal. After all, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Anyone who changes will feel uneasy." Han Xin said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, as long as tonight is over, the situation will become favorable to us. As long as we can successfully defeat the thief tonight The army frustrates the spirit of the traitors, and the traitor Xiang Kang will have to make adjustments tomorrow, as long as he readjusts the deployment of the army, then we can not only win more time, but also get more opportunities to defeat the enemy."

Liu Laosan reluctantly nodded, and comforted himself in his heart: "Don't worry, although the Chinese bandits are far stronger than our army, but the enemy's situation is unknown in the middle of the night, that little traitor Xiang Kang will definitely not take too many risks With our soldiers and horses, we have prepared so thoroughly, and we have already succeeded in attacking the camp of the Han bandits. Tonight is just a question of how much we can win. As long as we win the Han bandits tonight, the next battle will be easy."

The plot was indeed developing towards the arrangement of the great director Han Xin. After a while, a row of flames appeared in the northwest direction of Wancheng, and they rushed from the direction of the main camp of the Han army to the place where the partial camp of the Han army was located. The direction proved that Xiang Kang had indeed sent reinforcements, and rushed to the camp of the Han Army Ding Ji overnight to rescue. Liu Laosan was overjoyed when he saw it, and blurted out: "Good! The Han bandits really sent reinforcements overnight!"

"Sure enough, it's dispatched." Han Xin also smiled slightly, and said, "The next step is to see how our soldiers fight."

The fire that Liu Laosan and Han Xin saw was of course the light from the torches carried by Gongsun Tong’s troops of the Han army who attacked first. Following Xiang Kang’s order and leading [-] troops out of the camp, Gongsun Tong’s troops took a straight line and cut through the road directly. Come to the camp of the Han army to rescue.At the same time, the Longqie Division of the Han Army had also gathered at the gate of the Han Army's camp, but they had not received Xiang Kang's order and had not yet left the camp.

Just as Xiang Kang expected, when Gongsun Tong's troops rushed to the northwest corner of Wancheng, there was a sudden sound of killing in the black ground on both sides of the road, and two Nanyang army ambushed soldiers from left and right. I have clearly told the soldiers under my command that the self-armed army is likely to be ambushed by the enemy when they leave the camp late at night, and the soldiers of the Han army are required to be prepared at any time. Therefore, although the ambush of the Nanyang army was extremely sudden, the soldiers of the Han army It wasn't too flustered, but after a moment of astonishment, the generals of the Han army immediately followed Gongsuntong's prior request, and immediately shrunk their positions and fought in groups, trying not to give the Nanyang army a chance to cut off their own army.

However, Gongsun Tong's troops can only do this, because the Nanyang Army's ambush soldiers from the left and right are the elite troops led by the two great generals of the Nanyang Army, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo. , During the left and right hedges, the waists of the Han army were still under tremendous pressure immediately, and many soldiers were forced to fight alone. Although the front and rear troops of the Han army also quickly moved closer to the waist, they still failed to block the crazy impact of the Nanyang army. , was successfully cut into two halves by the Nanyang Army, and was forced to divide into two teams to fight separately. The Gou Bao Dao went directly to Gongsun Tong's banner.

"Kill! Kill this group of traitors completely! The sooner the better! Kill——!"

During this period, under the leadership of Long Qie, the [-] Han troops had already started to line up. However, what caught Long Qi by surprise was that his army had just left the camp for less than half, when the Yushui River in the southeast suddenly shouted. There was a loud noise, and an unknown number of Nanyang troops suddenly shouted to kill. Most of the soldiers of the Longqie army were still in the camp, blocked by the camp built by the own army, and could not immediately go out to join the battle. They could only rely on the front team to fight. He was caught off guard by the Nanyang army immediately, and the formation was immediately in chaos.

When the situation was reported to Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang was not surprised but delighted, and immediately ordered Guan Ying, who was just ready to attack, to lead the cavalry of the Han army out of the camp from the north gate, and rushed to the southwest to reinforce Gongsunti, and ordered Guan Ying, who had just been ready to attack Zeng Ji and Chong Jun, who were preparing for the attack, immediately left the camp from the west gate, and rushed to the two gates northwest of Wancheng to prepare for the battle according to the original plan. They also ordered Zhujishi to lead [-] troops to the west gate to replace Guan Ying as the general reserve team.Finally, he shouted: "Go and send an order to Longqi, tell him to go out of the camp to fight with all his strength, and he is absolutely not allowed to retreat to the camp. No matter how much he pays, he must kill the Nanyang bandit army ambush outside the camp!"

After the order was conveyed, the main camp of the Han army also exploded in the middle of the night. The four camp gates of the two battalions in the northwest opened at the same time. After sorting out the queue a little before the battalion, they immediately rushed to the battlefield they were in charge of.Longqie's side also seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Without knowing the number of incoming enemies, he resolutely went out of the camp to counterattack, and fought with the Nanyang army who came suddenly.

The change of the plot is also completely deviated from the script of the great director Han Xin. Amidst the shouts, the cavalry of the Han army with the fastest maneuvering speed first joined the ambush battlefield of the Nanyang army, wielding their sabers fiercely and slashing at the troops who were besieging Gongsun Tong of the Han army. The elite Nanyang army, Gongsun Tong also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. First, with the help of his own cavalry, he merged into one group, and then immediately flanked the enemy on the battlefield with the Han cavalry. What advantage can it have, but it has also successfully reversed the previous completely passive disadvantage.

The same is true for the Longqie Army. According to common sense, if they are attacked late at night and cannot respond back and forth, the Longqie Army should withdraw to the camp and regroup. They rushed out resolutely at a price, and after paying a certain price, they finally rushed out of the camp in a mess, and fought with the ambush soldiers of the Nanyang Army outside the camp, and gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield by virtue of their superiority in strength.

The Ding Ji Army is also similar. After struggling through the initial panic stage, and gradually stabilizing their position, Ding Ji Army also relied on its strength to gradually expel the enemies who entered the camp from the camp, and then a period of time passed. The messenger of the Han army, who was intentionally let go by the Nanyang army's ambushes, rushed to Ding Ji's camp and handed Xiang Kang's handwritten order to Ding Ji. Roaring in ecstasy, he immediately organized the army to fight back with all his strength, and chased and killed the camp in the middle of the night without hesitation, taking the risk of pursuing the enemy who had just been expelled from the camp.

What caught Liu Laosan and Han Xin the most by surprise was, of course, leaving the camp from the west gate of the main camp of the Han army and rushing directly to the Chongjun headquarters of the Han army at the north gate of Wancheng to prepare for the battle. Even Han Xin couldn't help but screamed, "Is the traitor Xiang Kang crazy? It's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and the battlefield is so chaotic, how dare he send troops to Wancheng?"

"This king finally knows why he has been restless." Liu Laosan said with a gloomy face, "We underestimated the determination of Xiang Kang's traitor to take the opportunity to fight in the field. His total force is more than four times that of ours. No matter how the battlefield is Chaos, as long as he invests enough troops immediately, he can pile us up to death by piling up soldiers! It won’t hurt us to exchange two for one! Tonight, we will have a hard time.”

With a bang, Han Xin slammed his fist heavily on the arrow stack in front of him, and said with a painful expression: "The loss is due to the lack of soldiers. If we have more troops, even if there are more than [-] troops, we can also obtain some of them. Superior force, win tonight's battle!"
