Competing

Chapter 536 Capture of Linzi
In the city of Linzi, because of the powerful offensive of the Han army, the people had already been frightened into trembling.

A large amount of rolling logs and rocks were needed to defend the city, and when there were not enough, the people along the city wall were basically all relocated.The stone and wood in their walls and foundations were requisitioned for military use.At the same time, this area will also be affected by the flames of war, so the people have already evacuated to other places, so this area is relatively remote.

After entering the middle of the night, after trying their best, they finally repelled the attack of the Han army.Of course, whether they successfully repelled the Han army or whether the Han army retreated on its own initiative requires another explanation.Apart from suffering heavy casualties, Qi's army was exhausted to the extreme.Especially when the Han army had just retreated, the pressure was suddenly reduced, as if the tight spring was suddenly loosened.All of them sat on the ground, seizing every opportunity to catch their breath and regain their strength.

It is precisely because of this that the routine patrols in the city are naturally a little slack.Especially when there are snowflakes in the sky, the cold wind is howling, and few people get up.Qi Wang Tianguang also returned to his palace after a whole day of thrilling, enjoying a moment of rest.Today was the most thrilling day since the battle of Linzi started, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he finally made it through.

……

At this moment, within the ruins south of the city wall of Linzi, a ground was quietly opened, and one head after another came out from below.Carefully found that they are all selected soldiers of the Han Dynasty, each with a murderous look.This authentic Han Xin has been prepared for a long time, and the purpose is to make meritorious deeds tonight.

They rushed directly to the gate of the southern city of Linzi, as long as the gate was opened, victory was at hand.Simply because they were lucky, the patrol soldiers of Qi State did not know where they were slacking off, so they didn't notice them.So a great opportunity came before their eyes, but there was no time to cheer, and it was important to do business.

When they approached the city gate, the guarding soldiers found out, but all of them were staring wide-eyed, still in surprise.After a little hesitation and slow movement, what greeted them was the long sword in the hands of the Han army.When the defenders of Qi State fell one by one, the gate of Linzi South City slowly opened...

Qi's defenders were exhausted, so why not the attacking troops of Han.All the people in Guan Ying's troops collapsed to the ground exhausted, but there was one group of Han troops that did not appear on the battlefield from the beginning to the end, and that was the elite of Li Zuoche's troops.

After completing the sweep of the surrounding cities of Linzi, Li Zuoche returned to the camp under the city of Linzi.A few soldiers under his command went out to support Guan Ying's heroic battle, but Li Zuoche himself and the elite cavalry under his command never mobilized, and they have been waiting for work at leisure.Until night, when the Han army's siege army called Jin to withdraw their troops, they quietly arranged outside the southern city of Linzi.

The city gate opened as promised, Li Zuoche did not hesitate, and immediately led his cavalry to enter.Han Xin led the soldiers guarding the barracks and his central army tent to follow, and the south gate of Linzi quickly fell.

It was only when Guan Ying discovered this situation that he understood what Kuai Che meant by breaking down the city tonight.I didn't expect that I worked hard for a long time, but it was just to attract the attention of Qi's defenders. It was Han Xin and Li Zuoche who broke the city.

This is equivalent to a long time of hard work, and the credit for breaking the city was handed over to Li Zuoche and Han Xin himself. Guan Ying was annoyed, and naturally he was not reconciled.So not long after the emergency assembly and rest, the soldiers under his command who had just recovered some physical strength rushed into Linzi City.The soldiers were originally unwilling to get up, but when they heard that Linzi City had been breached and the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds had come, they followed the lead general Guan Ying and killed them.

……

Qi Wang Tianguang was awakened from his sleep.

"What happened?" He was a little too tired, so he wanted to have a good sleep.

"My lord, it's not good, the south gate has been conquered?" The guards rushed in to report the shocking news.

"What?" Qi Wang Tian Guang was astonished, his expression extremely flustered, and he said after a long time: "How could this happen? Didn't the Han army's attack be repelled?" At this moment, Tian Guang still seemed a little unwilling to believe such a fact. .

The guard explained in a panic: "My lord, the Han army is really too cunning. They entered the city by digging tunnels. The soldiers are too tired these days, so they neglected to patrol and guard, and the Han army entered by chance. ...Suddenly attacked the south gate, our defenders were not on guard, and the south gate was captured in one fell swoop..."

Tian Guang showed a cold and wry smile. He now understood that the reason why Han Xin attacked the city with all his strength was just an illusion.Let yourself think that the Han army is going to forcibly attack and take down Linzi City, thus ignoring other defenses.At the same time, he also successfully used the strategy of exhausting soldiers, which greatly reduced the response ability of Qi soldiers.

Tian Guang shouted: "Hurry up and find a way to stop the Han army and take back the South Gate for the widow..."

"My lord, it's useless. Now the Han army has entered the city. The south gate is guarded by a group of elite Han cavalry. It is impossible to take it back. And the city is already in chaos, especially the soldiers have lost their fighting spirit and confidence... ..."

Defending the city is the final bottom line of the Qi army, and it also supports the belief that many soldiers insist on.Now that the Han army suddenly conquered the South Gate, the fragile psychological defense line of the Qi soldiers suddenly collapsed. No one is willing to fight the Han soldiers to the death.

Tian Guang sat down on the ground helplessly, already in a state of disarray.

I didn't expect Linzi to be lost so soon. After all, I still underestimated Han Xin. This person is really too powerful.

What is there to say now?If the city of Linzi is destroyed, the state of Qi will be over. As the king of Qi...

well!From the moment he knew he had been fooled by Li Shiqi, Tian Guang felt a deep uneasiness in his heart, and now it finally came true.It seems that the Tian clan's rule over the Qi Kingdom has come to an end... What a pity, what a pity...

Seeing Tian Guang sitting on the ground in a daze, the guards couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and immediately said: "My lord, we have prepared our horses, and we will escort you out now. Prime Minister Tian is organizing reinforcements outside, the reinforcements from the Western Chu Kingdom It's almost there, kill it..."

snort!Tian Guang smiled wryly again, and then said: "Is the widow out of Linzi still the King of Qi? Besides, now that Linzi is completely besieged by the Han army, how can I get out?"

"My lord, if you don't leave now, you really won't be able to leave..."

"Don't go, the widow won't go..."

At this moment, the shouts of killing have already sounded outside Qi Palace!
