Chapter 232 Battle of Four Cities

Updated: 2010-11-25

Han Xin walked down the city slowly, feeling a sense of strength that he had never felt before. Now there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the city, the plague is slowly spreading, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. Treatment has become a difficult problem.Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians in Hanoi County are still loyal, otherwise, because of the plague, someone would open the city. "Have you taken all the wounded soldiers down to bandage them?" Han Xin asked a guard beside him after he regained his composure.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Exactly, but the number of soldiers available in the city is less than [-]. If this continues, we may not be able to defend for a few days. We have to ask the general to show us what we should do next. "

After a moment of hesitation, Han Xin said: "The emperor sent me here to stop the Chu army because he trusted me. Even if the current situation is very unfavorable to me, I will stick to it. I can persist for a day. Even if I die, I also want to die in this city. And based on the time, the emperor should have recruited a large number of troops from the north, maybe tomorrow morning we will find that besides the Chu army, there is another army of my Great Qin under the city." Although Han Xinxin didn't think that it would be so fast to transfer more than [-] horses from the northern frontier, he could only say so in order to boost morale.

But Qin Bing beside him didn't respond, just because Han Xin had said this no less than ten times, but there was still only one Chu army outside the city.Han Xin sighed, and asked again: "Have the sick soldiers settled down?"

"They have all been locked up in one place alone. Food and clean water are delivered on time every day. They should not be hungry. But according to the people there, their condition has become more and more serious. Now there is a great need for doctors and Herbs."

Han Xin smiled wryly and said: "The military doctors in the army are still busy bandaging the wounded soldiers, how can they have time to take care of them? And these military doctors will also treat some gunshot wounds, but this plague can't do anything. Now the only The best way is to quickly drive back the Chu army outside the city, Zai Ai sent them to Xianyang for treatment."

While talking, the group of them patrolled the city.After these days of fighting in the city, no common people came to the streets anymore, and the arrows shot up from outside the city were also stuck obliquely on the ground and walls, and now they look extraordinarily desolate under the setting sun.

After patrolling around, Han Xin took his soldiers back to his residence.His residence has been moved to a private house under the city wall for the convenience of commanding the defense of the city.As soon as he entered the house, Han Xin went straight to the picture hanging on the layout of the four dangerous places in Hanoi County and looked carefully again.In the past few days, the Qin army was able to block the attack of the Chu army with a small number of Qin troops, and the Chu army did not feel too much about the rapid decline in the number of troops in the city. It was due to Han Xin's proper command.

Han Xin pointed to a place in the southeast and said: "Tomorrow, five hundred knives and axes will be ambushed here. I expect that after today's battle, the Chu army will definitely change the direction of attacking the city, and this is the place where the Chu army attacked the most today." Tomorrow they will definitely attack from here in a big way. And we can let some people in first, and use these five hundred knives and axes to wipe them out." Han Xin pointed on the map and allocated the remaining points He knew that he was just lingering on the place where people and horses should guard, but he could only guard it like this.

When the night got darker and heavier, the city of Hanoi was already silent. The soldiers were already tired from fighting during the day, so everyone slept very deeply at night.Only the soldiers who have been assigned the task are able to support themselves and guard the top of the city, preventing themselves from falling asleep.But Han Xin in the city didn't sleep either. He was now worried about the safety of Hanoi City, thinking about how to keep the city longer.So after tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep for a while, Han Xin simply got up from the couch and stood in front of the picture again to study it carefully.In fact, he has already memorized the topographic map of Hanoi County and the city. Even if it is burned, he can draw another one, but Han Xin still looks at it.

Suddenly he vaguely heard a sound from outside the city, which seemed to be the sound of men and horses fighting, and he couldn't help being startled: "Could it be that the Chu people have seen through the reality of my city and sent a large army to attack the city overnight?" Thinking of this, he rushed out of the room without even putting on his armor, but just picked up the saber that was leaning against the wall.

Several soldiers of Han Xin outside the room had also heard the sound, but they were not sure that it was the Chu people attacking the city, and thinking that Han Xin had not had a good rest for a while, they hesitated, so they looked at the sound. Han Xin walked out quickly wearing only a coat.Everyone looked at each other and hurried up to salute.Han Xin waved his hand and said, "Follow me to the city to see what's going on!" He walked to the top of the city without waiting for the reaction of the soldiers.The soldiers came to their senses when they saw Han Xin walking quickly, and hurriedly followed behind him towards the city.

When Han Xin went to the city, he saw that there was no Chu army attacking, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Who is on duty tonight?" A corporal came over and said, "It's the little one on duty." , General, I was going down to the city to report to you."

"What's the situation?" Han Xin asked, walking to the edge of the city wall and looking down.I saw dozens of fires flashing in the camp of the Chu army under Zha Nei, and the sound of fighting continued to come from below.

The corporal leader was also a little puzzled and said: "Just now, there was a shout of killing from below the city. I thought it was the Chu people who attacked the city, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare for the battle. Unexpectedly, no one was seen after waiting for a while. When I got to the city, I took a closer look and found that the camp of the Chu army was on fire, and there were still sounds of fighting. I am afraid that the Chu army wanted to lure us out to investigate, so I haven't made up my mind yet. Report it to the general."

Han Xin sneered and said, "There are only a few thousand troops in our city. Why should the Chu army outside the city use any tactics? I really think about it!" He was talking, but his eyes were not idle, and he was still watching carefully. The situation in the camp of the Chu army.Suddenly he punched the city wall and said: "It is the reinforcements from our Great Qin that have arrived. You see, even the camp where the Chu army used to hoard food and grass is ablaze." The place they could identify where the Chu army was storing food also lit up a little bit of fire, and smiles appeared on the faces of several people.

Han Xin was overjoyed and said: "Unexpectedly, the emperor sent reinforcements to arrive in time. God bless Hanoi County! Beat the drum quickly to wake up all the soldiers in the city, and let them prepare to stop within two minutes. Together with the reinforcements outside the city, attack the Chu army internally and externally to vent the hatred of being trapped for these days."

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong..." The mighty drum sound resounded throughout the city of Hanoi, and the soldiers got up from their couches and the ground one after another. When they learned that it was the arrival of reinforcements, they were disturbed. They were excited in a dream, and they all put on their clothes as quickly as possible without the order of their respective generals. When they arrived at the gate of the city together, it took less than a quarter and a half. Han Xin looked at the clothes with satisfaction. All the soldiers nodded.Although there are only less than 3000 Qin troops left in the city, these remaining people are all people with high fighting spirit and strong bodies.Han Xin said loudly to them: "In the past few days, we have been attacked by the Chu people. Now that our reinforcements are here, it is finally time for us to fight back. Everyone will fight out of the city with me and kill the Chu people. No piece of armor will be left behind!"

"Kill all the people of Chu without leaving a piece of armor! Kill all the people of Chu without leaving any piece of armor!" The soldiers shouted loudly.As soon as the sound stopped, the city gate that had been closed for a long time was opened, and the long sword in Han Xin's hand pointed to the camp of the Chu army in front: "Kill!"

"Kill~!" The three thousand Qin soldiers rushed towards the camp of the Chu army shouting loudly like a mad tiger coming out of a scorpion.

Xiang Yu really didn't expect that a Qin army would suddenly kill him from behind.Although he was also worried that if he stayed here for too long, the Qin army would bring back all the troops from the north, but considering the time, he didn't think that the Qin people would be so fast that they would send the north troops back in such a short period of time. The men and horses were transferred here.Even if they came, they were too exhausted to fight against their elite soldiers.But the Qin army still appeared, and its combat power was far beyond Xiang Yu's expectations.

The Qin army first launched an attack from the rear of the Chu army with thousands of troops. When Xiang Yu and the others reacted in time and sent troops to intercept them, more troops came from the two wings. The torch he carried was lit, and soon the entire camp of Chu was lit up with flames.What annoyed Xiang Yu even more was that I don't know which Qin army actually set fire to his granary. Although it was extinguished by the Chu army in time, many grains and grass were also burned by the fire.

As soon as the granary caught fire, the Chu army became a little chaotic. If Xiang Yu hadn't tried his best to suppress it and ordered his soldiers to kill several soldiers who wanted to escape, the situation would have become even more chaotic.But the current situation is not optimistic. Although Xiang Yu is brave and fighting the attacking Qin army with his own soldiers, but because the Chu army has no idea how many enemies there are and from which direction the Qin army is coming from, so everyone If you lose your sense of proportion, you will be defeated.

At this time, Fan Zeng came to Xiang Yu under the protection of some soldiers and said: "Overlord, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. In my opinion, we should go ahead and retreat first. After Tianming has a grasp of the situation of the Qin army, we will think about it." It's not too late."

But Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No, if we withdraw tonight, our army's siege these days will be in vain. I'd like to see how many people are there in the Qin army who came here to help." As he spoke, he galloped forward again.

But at this moment, the city gate of Hanoi was also opened, and teams of Qin troops rushed out shouting loudly.
