Han Shizu

Chapter 694 It is useless to plan, dangerous
In fact, Yang Shifan's plan was exactly as Pan Mei had observed. He was arrogant and lazy, secretly amassing elite soldiers, building siege weapons, lying dormant and waiting, and when the opportunity came, he would deliver a fatal blow.Now, Yang Shifan has been planning for several days, and he feels that the opportunity has come.

Of course, with the development of the situation, there is not much time left for him.The Han army at Sanjiangkou is increasing its troops. As for Liyang, the imperial court is riding south with tens of thousands of footsteps, which always makes people feel heavy and uneasy.

However, Yang Shifan's plan did not seem to be approved by everyone, and it was difficult to calm the hearts of the generals under his command.One of the generals, who was sitting at the side of the head, spoke in a not-so-clean Chinese, and said directly: "The general's plan is indeed surprising, but judging from the performance of the defenders, they are extremely elite and well-equipped. Guard Pan Mei is not an easy person to deal with, so she may not be able to detect the general's plot!"

This general, named Qin Zaixiong, was the leader of the Yao people in Chenzhou. He was not tall and had a dark face, but he exuded a vigorous temperament. He had been under Zhou Xingfeng's command for some time. Apart from being brave in battle, he had a lot of strategy.

At this time, Yang Shifan was dissatisfied when he questioned himself, and stared at him with frowned eyebrows: "What is General Qin's intention? Could it be that he is timid to fight?"

Hearing the question, Qin Zaixiong was not polite, and replied with a bit of anger, "I am a warrior from the Yao people. I have always dared to fight. I attacked the city several times, and I risked my life. Hundreds of soldiers were lost. The commander-in-chief dispatched to help the battle, the general said so, it is so chilling!"

Seeing that Qin Zaixiong was agitated, Yang Shifan calmed down, pondered for a while, then changed his attitude, and said to him: "The general made a slip of the tongue! According to General Qin, what should we do?"

Qin Zaixiong was not polite, and said directly: "General, it has been ten days since we attacked Liyang. The city is strong, the defenders are tenacious, and it is difficult to break through. There are more than [-] casualties. Now the imperial army is in Jiangling, and the public security also has enemy troops. But after the rest is over and we go south, we will be frustrated and fall into danger. I mean, since Liyang is difficult to go down quickly, we should save our strength as soon as possible, retreat to Langzhou, and hold Dongting Lake with Zhou Jieshuai to prevent the Han army! "

No matter how powerful Qin's words were, it also aroused the approval of a group of Chu generals. Seeing this, Yang Shifan felt even more dissatisfied.Sensing the change in the minds of the generals under his command, Yang Shifan looked at Qin Zaixiong and said solemnly: "What the general said is reasonable, but I was ordered by Commander Jie to attack the city from the north. I haven't made any achievements, and I don't have an order. How can I withdraw my troops without authorization?" .

Furthermore, with the current situation, if you withdraw troops hastily, you are afraid that it will cause turmoil in the army.The Han army in Jiangling is indeed something to worry about, so we need to hurry up.I decided to launch a general attack on Liyang in the morning, break it in one fell swoop, and if it succeeds, we can defend it. Even if the Han army goes south, we will be able to block them in Liyang! "

"General Qin, your troops and the elite of our Chinese army have been recuperating for many days, and they are waiting to make a contribution in one fell swoop. Tomorrow, we will attack together without reservation!" Yang Shifan looked at Qin Zaixiong.

Facing his eyes, Qin Zaixiong frowned involuntarily, seeming to have doubts, thought for a while, and said: "There is a shortage of food and ordnance in my camp, and they need to be replenished!"

"Don't worry, general, the new batch of military resources will be transferred to your department, and I will distribute a batch of weapons to you from the camp on the right. The general's subordinates are all warriors, and they should be armed with sharp weapons to fight!" Yang Shifan immediately said generously look.

"Thank you, General!" Qin Zaixiong stretched his face and nodded his head, which was considered to be a response.

Seeing that Qin Zaixiong had been dealt with, Yang Shifan got up and said in a sharp voice: "The rest of the generals return to their camps, reorganize their soldiers, repair their armaments, take out all the wine and meat in the camp tonight, have a full meal, and attack the city with all their strength tomorrow morning. Success or failure, in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

He worked hard to boost morale, but of course, Yang Shifan had no idea how effective it would be.Waiting for the generals to leave the tent, Yang Shifan couldn't help but sighed heavily, his face was full of solemnity, this is also his willingness to give it a go.

"General, then Qin Zaixiong is suspected of disturbing the morale of our army, why are you so polite to him and even allocated food and ordnance to him?" A confidant officer beside him thought about the situation of the military discussion just now, and couldn't help but said.

Yang Shifan smiled coldly: "No matter what, the strength of this Yao people is still impressive. Qin Zaixiong also has some courage. To attack the city tomorrow, we still need to rely on his strength!"

"How's the situation with the supplies in the army?" Turning his head, Yang Shifan looked at the military academy.

Mentioning this, the officer's face suddenly became serious, and he replied: "The last general went to check, and the food in the camp is only for five days. If you reward the three armies tonight and let the soldiers have a full meal, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support them." Three days!"

"Message Wuling and let them send it to Liyang again!" Yang Shifan said immediately.

The officer shook his head helplessly: "Wuling doesn't have much food left, and the food requisitioning teams below are also met with resistance. Recently, civil unrest is also happening in the prefecture, and the town can't do it!"

Hearing what he said, Yang Shifan suddenly showed a self-closing expression, his whole face was almost twisted together, and said in a low voice: "You see, the situation is like this, and we are still talking about retreating. Even if we retreat to Wuling, there is no food or equipment. Once it comes, how can I resist it?"

The situation in the rear is very bad, but the deterioration of the situation is far beyond Yang Shifan's imagination. Even if he is on the front line, he seems to be able to feel the rage, chaos and despair in the rear.

However, perhaps due to the influence of Zhou Xingfeng, there is also a bit of ruthlessness in his temperament. Yang Shifan thumped the military case, gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow, we will fight to the death. In Liyang City, there are plenty of food and military equipment. If we can get them, Enough to last us for a while!"

Seeing Yang Shifan's resolute eyes, the officer hesitated a little, but asked in a low voice: "General, what if it is still difficult to break through the city?"

Turning his head suddenly, the eyes like a hungry tiger released a dangerous message, which startled the officer.With a straight face, Yang Shifan said coldly: "If this happens, then we will all be captured by the Han army."

"Why, do you want to surrender too?"

Hearing this, the officer was shocked immediately, and hurriedly said: "The last general dare not!"

"It doesn't matter if you want to surrender, it's understandable!" Yang Shifan said quietly: "However, I have been with Jieshuai for many years, and I will never surrender until the last moment! Besides, our family is in Changsha."

This time, when he went north to resist the Han army, Zhou Xingfeng placed all the families of officers with more than a hundred generals in Changsha City, and concentrated them for protection. There is no need to explain the purpose.

Looking at Yang Shifan with a cold expression, the officer's mood couldn't help but sink a bit, and he was lamenting in his heart, not to mention that Liyang is still firmly in the hands of the Han army, even if it is really captured, how long can it stop the Han army?
It was not a long time since I came to Liyang from the north. Although I only experienced a city attack, the ambitions of many soldiers of the Chu army had already been worn down.When I think of the behemoth in the north, I feel somewhat hopeless.

As for Yang Shifan, after pondering for a long time, the uneasiness in his heart was inexplicably high, he couldn't help getting up, and wandered anxiously in the tent for a while.Taking a deep breath, he turned his head abruptly, and ordered: "Gather the Chinese army and Yao soldiers together, I want to lecture you!"

On the north bank of the Lishui River, more than [-] soldiers lined up, with different expressions, but they all stared closely at the Lishui River, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.The floating beam was not considered strong, but it was the passage of life for the Chu army to withdraw to the south bank.

However, at this time, a heat wave was raging on the Lijiang River, and Yang Shifan directly ordered that it be burned down, along with some of the transshipment ships, and they were on their own way back.Yang Shifan is imitating the overlord of Chu, breaking the boat and wanting to fight to the death.

The effect is naturally there, at least all the Chu soldiers have a little despair in their eyes.As for this despair, it is difficult to know how much combat power it can stimulate.

The thick smoke on the Lishui attracted the attention of Liyang City. Pan Mei went to the city to observe the news, thought for a moment, but laughed loudly: "Yang Shifan is going to fight to the death, but unfortunately, he has knowledge and is decisive enough. It's a dead end!"

However, the development of things is often unexpected.On Yang Shifan's side, Fang made his way back, creating a desperate atmosphere of "breaking the boat and sinking the boat". The iron hoof from the north mercilessly trampled through his conception and plot.

When he learned that thousands of Han cavalry had crossed the defense he had set up in Cenhe Village and headed south to approach Liyang, Yang Shifan immediately felt paralyzed.At that time, on the Lishui River, the floating beam ships had not yet been burned, the morale of the Chu army fell uncontrollably to the bottom, and Yang Shifan spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

I chose a wide field to station temporarily, facing Liyang City far away, forming a corner, restraining the Chu army, and making a pincer attack.Shi Yanchao didn't make any extra moves, and directly ordered to rest and rest, after all, he ran more than 100 miles.

At the same time, send people to continue to investigate the situation of the Chu army and get in touch with Pan Mei.After receiving the result, he was overjoyed. This time he went south, he really came to eat meat, and even, there was a feeling that he could break it without waiting for Li Yun.
