Dahan first prince

Chapter 243 The whole army strikes!

"Yongcheng!"

"The city gate is wide open?!"

About an hour later, east of the rebel camp.

Hearing the scout's out of breath report, standing on the British cloth face on the chariot, there was only a sudden sternness.

"Humph!"

"Tips for carving insects!!!"

With a low growl full of resentment, Ying Bu straightened up irritably, staring behind him, where the outline of the Yongcheng barrier could be vaguely seen.

Although this time, Liu Ying led the army to hide in Yongcheng, allowing Yingbo to shield the battlefield and making it impossible for Liu Ying to communicate with the outside world, but at such a short distance, the two sides' movements and intentions towards each other are basically clear at a glance.

Just like an hour ago, when Yingbo led the army out of the camp, Liu Ying must have guessed that Yingbo's target was Cao Shen's army that had just arrived on the battlefield. See through Liu Ying's intentions.

—— Surround Wei and save Zhao!
But it is obvious: the situation at this time is not at all to the point where Yingbu must lead his army back.

"Yongcheng guards, how many people leave the city?"

"Where is Bing Feng pointing at?"

Hearing Yingbu's question, the scout hurriedly bowed his hand again.

"To Your Majesty!"

"The defenders of Yongcheng are slowly leaving the city from the south gate. There should be more than [-] people who have already left the city!"

"Let's go out of the city Han army, like..."

In the middle of speaking, the scout quietly stopped talking, and his expression was tangled for a long time before he bowed his head again under Ying Bu's stern gaze.

"——The banner erected by the defenders outside the city seems to be the red dragon banner of the Southern Army!"

"In addition to the red dragon flag, there are also the private flags of Li Shang, the right minister, and Jin She, the chariot general!"

Hearing the scout's words, Ying Bu's face, which was not clear at all, only became more gloomy.

Li Shang and Jin She can almost be regarded as the two most handsome talents in the Han Dynasty besides Zhou Bo and Fan Kui!

The status of these two people in the military of the Han Dynasty is even much higher than that of Wang Ling, Xia Houying and other Fengpei heroes, as well as rising stars such as Zhou Zao and Guan Ying!

Such two heavyweights, who appeared in this war, should have been the coaches.

Even with the existence of Prince Liu Ying, these two should be deputy commanders in charge of the army for Liu Ying and formulate strategic deployment for the Han army.

But now, two senior generals and heroes who are enough to become the commanders of a medium and large-scale battle, have appeared in the Han army that is pouring out of Yongcheng, and have become generals!

"Ugh!"

"hateful!"

"hateful!!!!!!"

Thinking about it, Yingbu couldn't help but let out two more furious growls, and his teeth creaked from being bitten.

——Yingbo is very sure: whether he leads his army back, or continues to march in the direction of Cao Shen's army regardless, the Han army pouring out of Yongcheng will most likely not attack the Huainan camp, which is empty of defense forces.

But the crux of the problem is: Yingbo has this self-confidence, but it does not mean that all the soldiers under Yingbo have such self-confidence.

When the news that 'Li Shang and Jin She personally led the army out of the city and headed towards the Huainan camp' spread, no matter the defenders who stayed behind in the camp, or the main force following Yingbu at this moment, they would all be very happy. doubt.

——Li Shang and Jin She personally lead the army, what if the camp falls?
——If the big camp falls, won't the big guy want to lay a bed in the wild?
What's more, even Yingbu came here to prepare for the next ten days of food, grass, and supplies, and they were basically piled up in the big camp!
And when the main force under Yingbu's command had such concerns as 'what to do if the camp is gone', 'what to do if there is no food and grass', 'what to do if you are flanked by front and back' and so on, even if the army succeeded in fighting Cao Shen's army, The fighting will of the soldiers will definitely be greatly reduced.

In this way, there seems to be only one choice left before Yingbo: turn around immediately, return to the area between Daying and Yongcheng, and protect the camp and the food and supplies in the camp.

Only in this way can the big camp be guaranteed.

But in this way, Cao Shen's army, which had just arrived on the battlefield, would have time to gain a firm foothold, forming horns with the Han army in Yongcheng from the north and east.

This is absolutely unacceptable for the subsequent wars and Yingbo's subsequent decision-making.

——A fortified city in front, and a military camp on the side, what should we do?
To fight or not to fight?
As a rebel, facing Yongcheng where Liu Ying was in person, Yingbo could only fight and must fight.

However, if Yongcheng is attacked from the north, Cao Shen's troops on the side of the battlefield will always pose a threat to the siege troops.

The reverse is also the same: if Cao Shen's troops are attacked first, Liu Ying's army in the city is also a side threat to Yingbo.

Just like today, the Yingbo army has just set out from the camp, and before it has gone ten miles, the Han army in Yongcheng put on a look of "Are you going back?"If you don't come back, I'll dig out your lair! ' posture.

It is not difficult to infer from this: if Cao Shen's army is allowed to gain a foothold, then starting tomorrow, whenever Yingbo wants to attack Yongcheng, similar situations will happen repeatedly.

——The Yingbo army has just left the camp and has not yet reached the foot of Yongcheng. Cao Shen's army on the side of the battlefield will be the same as Liu Ying's troops today, putting on a look of "Are you coming back?"If you don't come back, I'll dig out your lair'.

In this way, Yingbo will fall into the embarrassing situation of attacking Yongcheng from the north, being threatened by Cao Shen's troops, attacking Cao Shen from the east, and being threatened by Liu Ying's troops.

If it's just 'can't shoot randomly', it's not too bad.

But don't forget.

——Yingbo's strategic goal at this moment is to capture Yongcheng as quickly as possible, causing a double major blow to the Han Dynasty, both military and political!
If Yongcheng cannot be breached in a short period of time, the chances of victory for the enemy and us will develop in completely different directions.

——The longer it drags at the foot of Yongcheng, the morale of the Huainan soldiers under Yingbo's command will become indifferent or even depressed; the food and supplies of the hundreds of thousands of troops will also make Yingbo more difficult.

In contrast to the Han army, as time goes by, there will inevitably be one support army after another, shouting slogans similar to "defend the prince of Han to the death", appearing in all directions of the Yingbo army.

Compared with the Huainan rebels who live in a corner and have a thin family, Chang'an Chaotang undertakes the logistics of hundreds of thousands of troops. Although it is not easy, it will basically not cause any major problems.

Going up to the sky is just a little strenuous, a little bit strenuous.

Thinking of this, Yingbo's face was already calm.

——Now, if you insist on fighting Cao Shen, you may fail due to the problem of military morale, and the camp may be threatened;

If you turn back here, it will only solve the immediate problem while planting a major hidden danger for the future.

The difference between the two seems to be that if you choose the former, you will fail with a certain probability and have certain risks; if you choose the latter, although there is no risk, you will fall into slow death.

And when such an option is presented to a rebel leader who is on the way to rebel, the answer is almost self-evident...
"The order!"

"The army immediately..."

Seeing Yingbo raised his head with a stern expression, just halfway through speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and froze in place for a while.

At this moment, a very bad possibility appeared in Yingbo's mind.

——If you don't go back by yourself, just in case!

——What if Liu Ying, hiding in the Han army out of the city, ran away? ! ! ! ! !

If that's the case, Na Yingbu maintains the morale of the army and inspires the only spiritual strength of Huainan soldiers...

"Whoo~"

"It's so poisonous..."

Until now, Yingbo finally paid a lot of attention to this seemingly naive strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao".

If it's just 'encircling Wei and saving Zhao', it would be difficult for Yingbo to make a choice, but he still has a choice.

——The big deal is to learn from the former Overlord Xiang Yu and Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin. It doesn’t matter if you come to the bottom of the boat or fight with your back. First, use all your strength to drive Cao Shen’s army out of the battlefield.

When Cao Shen's troops broke up and fled, Yingbo would be able to turn around and drive back the Han army that had poured out of Yongcheng with little effort, even biting off a piece of meat!

As for the barracks, they can be rebuilt if they are gone; if the food and grass are gone, they can be redeployed!

As long as the battle is won and the morale of the army is high in the short term, then these problems are basically irrelevant.

But if there is an additional possibility of "Liu Ying may escape from Yongcheng" while "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao", then Yingbo has no choice.

——Even if it is not for the big camp and the logistics supplies in the camp, just to prevent Liu Ying from escaping, Yingbo must turn around immediately!

And this is exactly the power of the conspiracy of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

The content of the strategy and the purpose of the enemy, there is no trace of stealth, but open and aboveboard.

And the person who is designed, knowing the intention and purpose of the other party, can only obediently slip into the trap...

"Whoo~"

"It's not easy..."

With a serious expression on his face, he let out a low sigh, and a hint of madness quietly appeared on Yingbo's face.

——As traitors, the Huainan soldiers under Yingbo's command, including Yingbo himself, have no "retreat" at all!

Under this premise, when the dilemma of "near death" is placed in front of such a person who has no way out, things will easily develop in another extreme direction...

"Success or failure depends on one action!!!"

Lowering his head with a firm expression, Yingbo finally glanced at the direction of Yongcheng behind him, and a touch of madness gradually appeared between his brows.

"All generals obey orders!"

"The army turned back immediately, the front army was the rear army, and the rear army was the front army, marching towards Yongcheng at full speed!!!"

"All Huainan soldiers, regardless of bows, crossbows, halberds, shields, soldiers, or cooks, civilians, civil and military officials, old, weak, disabled, and even a few bowed, all came out of the nest!!!!!!"

With a roar full of madness, Ying Bu laughed and rode his horse back, drew out the long sword at his waist, and pointed in the direction of Yongcheng.

"Today, the whole army attacked the city with all their strength, broke through the barriers of Yongcheng, and captured the Prince of Han alive!!!"

"If the sun is dark and you can't win, you will also light up the lamp and fight at night until the city is broken!!!!!!"
