Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 387

Tie Dan hurried to the top of the city with a dozen soldiers.

A personal soldier under Gaochu's tent in the past seems to be a general now, but a general of supplies.

Seeing Tie Dan striding forward surrounded by his own soldiers, the sentry team in charge of the night watch was about to go forward to salute, but was stopped by Tie Dan with a wave of his hand. Tie Dan stepped forward and looked out with his hands on the battlement. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the rice paddies are faintly visible, and the few small bumps are like giant beasts crouching in the field, ferocious and terrifying.

There was nothing unusual outside the city.

A sentry chief came forward and said, "General, go back and rest, it's time, everything will be fine."

"No, absolutely don't be careless!" Tie Dan shook his head with a serious expression. His seriousness quickly infected dozens of guards on the top of the city, and each of these guards became serious.

As a supply general, Tie Dan knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders!
Fuli County is the food storage base of the Huai army. There are 50 shi of military food stored in the city. Once the military food is burned or taken away by the Huainan army, the consequences will be disastrous.

But to Tie Dan's satisfaction, the night watchman was very vigilant.

Tie Dan nodded, and when he was about to turn around and leave, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the city.

Almost instinctively, Tie Dan turned sideways suddenly, and a little cold star flew past his breastplate, and then the little cold star was nailed to the pillar of the enemy building behind him with a "dumb" sound, Tie Dan When the dozens of soldiers behind him and the guards on the top of the city looked intently, it was a heavy arrow with mace's teeth, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling violently!

Tie Dan didn't look back at all, but immediately roared: "Enemy attack, blow the trumpet to gather troops..."

Tiedan hadn't finished speaking yet, and the whistling whistling sounded continuously from outside the city. Several sentrymen couldn't dodge it, and the arrow fell into a pool of blood in an instant. The sentinel hurriedly hid in the enemy building, raised the horn and blew vigorously. In an instant, the long and long sound of the horn broke through the silence of the night.

"The sneak attack failed?" Cao Yu put down the iron tire bow in his hand, with a cold expression on his face, "The Chu army's vigilance is really high!"

"Brother, these Chu guys are really hard to deal with!" Clan brother Cao Wujiu said bitterly, "It's already midnight, and no one is lazy! The sneak attack has failed, and we can only attack by force."

Cao Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Head the order, raise the torch, and prepare for a strong attack!"

Although the sneak attack failed, Cao Yu didn't pay too much attention to it. Before the expedition, Qi State's detailed work had already found out everything clearly. Fuli City was the Chu army's grain storage base. There is a large amount of military rations and countless ordnance and supplies, but the defenders have only 3000 people.

With only 3000 people, it is impossible to block his own [-] army!
You must know that the one who came to Fuli with Cao Yu this time was not the pawns, but the most elite Forbidden Army of Qi!
In order to attack Fuli by surprise, the king did a lot of work. First, he asked the prince to lead an army of [-] to attract the attention of the Chu army from the front, and then secretly conscripted [-] forbidden troops, plus [-] troops from Jiaodong and Langya, and went deep into Huainan through the East Sea path until In Yancheng, the king divided his troops and marched westward, while Cao Yu led [-] forbidden troops to take Fuli directly!

The Qi army is so well prepared, isn't it easy to capture a mere talisman?
With an order, dots of torches lit up outside Fuli City. With the light of the torches, the fields outside the city were already crowded with the army of Qi State.

On the head of Fu Licheng, there was a slight commotion among the sentries of the Chu army.

Tie Dan's heart sank suddenly. Looking at the momentum, there were at least 3 or [-] Qi troops outside the city, and these Qi troops were basically elite soldiers in armor. Although they had not yet begun to attack the city, the powerful The momentum is rushing towards the face, this is obviously not an ordinary pawn, but should be the most elite imperial army of Qi!
Fortunately, Chu Jun's response was fairly timely.

Tie Dan looked back, and saw groups of soldiers had already driven up the top of the city along the steps, and a large amount of rolling stones and fire oil were also being transported to the top of the city along the horse road, and when he looked back outside the city, , Tie Dan's eyes have already revealed a strong fighting spirit, come on, what about the imperial guards of Qi?With me, Tiedan, Fuli City will never be breached!

##########
Outside the city of Fuli, the Qi army had already set up a lookout car.

The watch cart, also known as the nest cart, was a crucial ordnance in the ancient cold weapon war.

In field battles, the watch car must be the command center of the whole army. A watch car is mainly composed of four parts, a base, two columns, and a winch lifting mechanism outside the car body.

Cao Yu swung his cloak and stepped into the carriage, and the four bare-chested and backless wrestlers began to turn the winch vigorously, and the entire carriage slowly rose up along the towering columns on both sides. Before the carriage reached the highest point, Cao Yu Then he raised his right hand and pressed it forward lightly, and in an instant, the sound of passionate war drums sounded in the Qi army formation.

Amidst the sound of drums that made the blood boil, teams of Qi troops in heavy armor carried large shields and walked towards the city wall of Fuli with neat steps. Behind the heavy armor of Qi troops were teams of Qi troops The archers, in the end, were teams of light soldiers and dead soldiers, as well as a series of well rails, ladders and crash vehicles.

When the Fuli War was about to break out, the [-] troops of Han He, the Prince of Qi, were rushing towards Pengcheng.

The scattered scouts continued to report back, and there was no trace of the Chu army in the surrounding area. Perhaps because of the distance, even the Chu army's scouts had not met a group of scouts nearby.

When the scout reported that it was only ten miles away from Pengcheng, Han He suddenly raised his right hand.

In an instant, dozens of cavalry sent orders and galloped away in all directions: "The prince has an order, the whole army stops advancing, the prince has an order, the whole army rests on the spot, take the time to eat, and conserve energy..."

Han He hurriedly found Zhao Yan and asked, "Military Master, where is the father?"

Zhao Yan looked around and found that apart from their army, the surrounding fields were pitch-black and there was no fire at all. He was a little confused and said: "The secret envoy sent by the king said that he will meet us ten miles north of Pengcheng City, but the secret envoy I didn't say the specific time, maybe it will be Yinshi?"

Han He frowned, and didn't say anything more, but he was so depressed that he was the prince of Qi, and his father's secret expedition was such a big event, that his father didn't look for him as the prince, but the military adviser first ,This shows what?This shows that in the heart of the father, the military adviser is far more important than him, the prince.

Just after Yin's time, dots of fire appeared in the eastern sky.

As time went by, the dots of fire gradually approached Han He's army. With the faint light of the fire, one could faintly see that it seemed to be a large army. The soldiers of the Qi army who didn't know it thought it was the Chu army who had killed them. There was a commotion, and the soldiers who were resting on the spot got up one after another, put on their armor and held their sharps, and were ready to fight.

However, Han He and Zhao Yan knew that it was the arrival of Han Xin's army.

At present, Han He rode hundreds of fine horses to meet him. When the two armies met, he saw his father lying on his shoulders. Beside his father, there were more than a dozen imperial physicians. Although the imperial physician Gongyang was old Already tall, he was among them, Han He didn't dare to neglect, quickly got off the saddle, bowed his hands in salute and said: "My son, see the father."

Zhao Yan, who was behind Han He, also got off his horse and saluted Han Xin.

"Get up." Han Xin waved his hand at Han He, and then said to Zhao Yan, "Zijin, you've done a good job."

Zhao Yan cupped his hands again, and said sincerely, "I just did what I could."

Han Xin waved his hand and said: "I know in my heart that if you hadn't tried your best to stop him, the crown prince would have already brought a large army to Pengcheng to fight the Chu army. Han Xin said again, "So, if the Qi army wins the Huainan battle, you, Zijin, will be the first to contribute."

Zhao Yanwei responded with a sigh, but his heart was extremely bitter. It is not an exaggeration to say that the king's military attainments are excellent. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an unmatched military strategist, but his political attainments are not. It's really unflattering. You have to thank me, Zhao Yan, for your contribution without having to be in front of the prince. Isn't this intentional to embarrass the prince?

In any case, Han He is the prince of Qi, and the king's current body may collapse at any time. When Han He succeeds, will Zhao Yan be able to stay in Qi?Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help looking sideways at Han He, and sure enough, he saw a trace of resentment in the depths of Han He's eyes.

Han Xin was unaware of this, and immediately told Han He: "He'er, the army can move out."

"Here!" Han Hegong responded, and without looking at Zhao Yan, he rolled over and walked away. Zhao Yan could only smile wryly at this. From this moment on, his future in Korea has been bleak...

"Guo Xiang, what's the matter in the middle of the night?"

Yingbo glared at Kuaiche with an unfriendly expression, and his tone was even more unfriendly. Anyone who was woken up from sleep would feel bad, not to mention that Yingbo hadn't slept soundly for half a month, and he couldn't bear it today. , originally wanted to have a good night's sleep, but was abruptly woken up by Kuai Che from his sleep.

Kuai Chehun didn't care, just stepped forward and whispered a few words in Yingbo's ear.

"Guo Xiang, are you serious?!" Ying Bo's face changed drastically, and he knelt and sat up.

Kuai Che straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, over the years, when did I ever deceive you?"

A hint of guilt could not help flashing in Yingbo's eyes. All these years, Kuaiche worked hard for Yingbo and Huainan country, and he really didn't have any strange intentions?Immediately, he patted Kuai Che on the shoulder, and said with a sigh: "Minister Guo, the widow has treated you slowly all these years, so I apologize to you."

Kuai Che said with a sympathetic expression, "Your Majesty, with your words, even death is worth it."

Yingbu nodded, then turned around abruptly and shouted: "Liji, pass on the order of the widow, beat the drums and gather the troops, and the whole army will go out of the city to fight to the death with the Chu army..."
