After entering the mansion, Zhang Han did not rest, but called Wang Li to him, and asked him about the situation in the city and the details of the fighting between the two sides these days.Wang Li then confessed everything that happened since the Chu army came to Handan, and finally said: "The turmoil among the people in the city and the Chu army's invasion this time were all able to be resolved calmly by Zhao Ba. The benefactor of the army." Zhang Han hurriedly got up and said: "In that case, then lead me to see him, although I can hear from your words that this person still has fear of my Daqin, but now Daqin is different from before, maybe I can persuade him to truly submit to me. This is also a good thing for me, Daqin."

Wang Li said with a distressed face: "General, I'm afraid it's not good to go now, it's already the fourth watch, and he has been fighting on the city for days, so he must have slept peacefully by now."

Only then did Zhang Han realize that it was midnight, and he laughed at himself and said, "I really forgot the time, I think you have been tired all day, go down and rest, tomorrow you have to fight the Chu army. "

"What about you, General?" Seeing that Zhang Han didn't intend to rest, Wang Li sat down and opened the report he wrote to the court to read, feeling very puzzled.

Zhang Han said with a chuckle: "It has become a habit for us to stay out at night these days, and now is the time for energy. And although I heard what you said about the situation, I still have to look at the battle situation these days , so that I can get an understanding of the battle after tomorrow." After speaking, he ignored Wang Li and started watching.Wang Li smiled wryly, he had been with Zhang Han for some time, and he knew his temper, so he went back to his residence to rest after saluting.

In the early morning of the next day, the Chu army really attacked again. The Qin army in the city had already been familiar with the Chu army's siege methods over the past few days, so they had already occupied the top of the city without the command of Wang Li and others. The Chu army counterattacked and defended in various critical places.For a while, there was another killing sound inside and outside the city, and the two sides fought inextricably.

At this moment, Zhang Han stood silently beside Wang Li and watched him command the soldiers to fight. After a while, he said, "Wang Li, it's not a solution for us to just passively guard. We have to think about it." A way to go out of the city and fight back."

Wang Li shook his head and said: "Now the Chu army has far more people than me, if we rush out of the city, we may suffer heavy losses, and our army is still invincible, thanks to the high and thick walls of Handan. help."

Zhang Han patted him on the shoulder to show his appreciation, but then he pointed to the camp of the Chu army and said: "Obviously you are completely confined by the current situation and forget to follow the law of war to describe the general situation of the army, even if you are at a disadvantage It is also possible to take the initiative to attack. You can see that some soldiers on the east side of the Chu army are much slower than other soldiers in attacking and returning to camp. Obviously they are not the elite of Chu. People attacking us in Daqin should have done their best, so they will inevitably attract some uneven people to the army. These people are either newly recruited soldiers, or soldiers from Qi State. They must not be able to truly integrate with the Chu army. As a whole, so as long as we point the spearhead in this direction, we will definitely be able to catch the Chu army by surprise."

Wang Li followed Zhang Han's fingers carefully and found what he said.In the past few days, all he has been thinking about is how to defend Handan City, and he has never thought about taking the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy, because the comparison of the strengths of the two sides is placed there, and leaving the city is just looking for death.But now after hearing Zhang Han's words, he realized that his thinking was wrong, so he hurriedly said, "It was the last general's mistake. I don't know how we should send troops?"

Looking at the ashamed Wang Li, Zhang Han comforted him: "Actually, I can't blame you. If I were to defend the city here, the first thing that comes to mind must be how to defend it first. It's just that I am entering the city this time. Then I found out that your defense was completely fine, so I thought about it from the perspective of attack. If you want to go out of the city to attack the enemy, you must choose one night. When we entered the city, the Chu people did not find it. After the siege and attack in the past few days, they have completely lost their vigilance. They will only defend and not attack as long as I am the Qin army. So once we go out of the city to attack, they must not expect it. And attack from the camp in the east It can also cause the Chu army to be defeated in one battle, and once one side is defeated at night, other places will inevitably panic when they do not know the exact news, leading to chaos in the whole army, so we will fight against Chu tonight. The battalion attacks."

Wang Li hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then issued an order to the entire army, ordering them to rest on the spot, bury the pot to cook food, and gather together after dark to go out of the city to fight the Chu army.

In the past few days, the Qin army in the city has been oppressed and beaten by the Chu army every day, and their hearts have long been suffocated. Now that they can go out of the city to fight back, everyone is very excited.But Zhang Han, the real planner of this plan, was not like them, just because he knew that it was possible to defeat the Chu army if he went out to fight in the city, but at the same time, there was also a possibility that the Qin army suffered heavy losses.He took a deep breath and said softly: "The victory or defeat is tonight!"

"Victory or defeat is tonight!" Meng Tian said to the soldiers in front of him word by word, and then glanced at the young faces, "Looking at the situation, the troops in Hanoi County that can resist are getting smaller and smaller. If it continues like this, Xiang Yu's army will attack the city, so tonight we must surprise the Chu army from behind and kill them by surprise." This is a very hidden small valley, it is not possible to walk into it In the future, no one will find that there are tens of thousands of horses stationed here. They are the tigers in the Qin army that Meng Tian brought out from near Xianyang.After listening to his words, those soldiers did not agree loudly, but looked back at him with firm eyes.They have been near Hanoi County for a few days, but the Chu army is not only very powerful in attacking the city, but also defends impeccably after returning to the camp. In order to find the best time, they can defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop. So they found this hidden valley, stationed down, and waited for the opportunity to appear.But the soldiers who went out to investigate every day came back and said that the Chu army was defending well in several directions, and the number of the Chu army was more than the Qin army inside and outside the city combined, so Meng Tian had to wait here quietly. .

But just yesterday, Meng Tian and the others discovered that the resistance in the city was far worse than before. In order to understand the crisis, Meng Tian had no choice but to send troops to attack the Chu army's flanks.He was very puzzled why Han Xin was in the city, and Hanoi County, which had not suffered too much loss, would suddenly appear to be bankrupt. The army has a better chance of winning.

Xiang Yu, who was in the main tent of the Chu army, also looked puzzled. Although they still had no way to attack the city, judging from the situation a few days ago, the defense force in the city was not as good as before.But after learning a lesson when he first came here, Xiang Yu didn't dare to underestimate the Qin army in the city anymore, so he asked Fan Zeng for advice: "Sir, the resistance in the city is becoming more and more powerful now, but from our soldiers Judging from the information I got from my mouth, there should be more than this number of warriors in the city. Could it be that the Qin people want to repeat their old tricks and make our army careless and then send troops to attack us?"

Fan Zeng has also been troubled by this situation for the past few days. From the facts, it seems that this possibility is indeed possible, but he does not think that Qin Jun will use the same strategy against him twice.In that case, the generals of the Qin army guarding the city would be too incompetent, and they would also see the Chu army as too scheming.So he shook his head and said: "I think the Qin army will not attack the city again, maybe something happened in the city, so that their troops can't be deployed on the city. But the overlord should also be careful of the Qin army It’s always good to be careful when you come out of the city to attack suddenly. And from my point of view, as long as our Great Chu army puts more effort, the city may be broken within a few days.”

Xiang Yu nodded. In fact, he was also anxious to destroy the city. After all, the news from Yingchuan said that Long Qi had already occupied Yingchuan, and he was still waiting for Xiang Yu and the others to move forward together after breaking through the other two cities. .Xiang Yu is arrogant and arrogant, but he doesn't want to be compared too much by his generals, so he also wants to take Hanoi as soon as possible.Now hearing that Fan Zeng also believed that he could capture Hanoi County in a short time, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, I will order the whole army to rest well, and I will take down Hanoi County tomorrow."

Fan Zeng wanted to persuade him not to be too careless, but thinking about the distressed appearance of the Qin army he had seen during the day, he didn't think they still had the ability to go out of the city to attack him, so he swallowed this disappointing sentence back.After getting along with Xiang Yu for a long time, Fan Zeng also began to find out Xiang Yu's temper. What he disliked the most was when someone poured cold water on him when he was in high spirits, so Fan Zeng also began to learn to speak according to Xiang Yu's temper.

The situation in the city was beyond the imagination of the people outside the city. They neither wanted to repeat the old tricks and killed the Chu army by surprise after showing weakness. It was not that something happened to the people in the city, but something more terrible happened. plague.

Perhaps there were too many dead people, and the gates of the city had not been opened for several consecutive days, so the corpses in the city could not be transported out in time, and eventually the corpses rotted and caused the plague.Once the people in the city were hit by the plague, it would be difficult to fight again. Han Xin didn't notice it at first, but until the situation became serious, he had no choice but to solve it.In the end, the infected people had to be gathered together and find a way to treat them. In this way, the strength of the city was greatly damaged. There were only more than 6000 soldiers left in the city with only 3000 to [-] people.
