Chapter 049 Major General guards the camp
Fan Zeng said: "I think I will move the central army's tent to Xidaying, and transfer the Long and General back to defend Nandaying to prevent the Qin army from attacking Xidaying nearby. We will continue to attack the city tomorrow to see how the Qin army reacts."
When Xiang Liang heard this, he thought it made sense: "Okay! Immediately order the military advisor to execute it."
In the city of Langya County, Zhang Han and others were also confused: What was going on with these reinforcements? They disappeared after a shocking night of struggle, and the Chu army did not take any action today.
Zhang Han gathered in the shogunate to discuss: "My Qin reinforcements have arrived outside the city. They had fought with the rebels overnight last night, but now they have suddenly disappeared for more than a day. What methods do you have to contact the reinforcements? Can we fight inside and outside to defeat the enemy?"
Wang Wei stepped out and bowed: "General, can we break through from Ximen? In this way, we can join forces with reinforcements, so that we will be more confident in breaking the enemy."
Zhang Han directly rejected: "No, now the city is solid, the food and grass are sufficient, and we can defend the siege of 200,000 rebels. Once our army breaks through, there will be heavy casualties and injuries. If the city is given to the rebels, our army will pay an extremely high price to attack the city. Now our Qin Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles and has serious shortage of troops. We must first reduce the casualties of soldiers."
The generals bowed together and said, "The general is kind, and it is a blessing for the Qin Dynasty."
Seeing that everyone had no good plans, Zhang Han turned his eyes to Mengzhi, who had always been smart: "What are the good plans for General Mengzhi to defeat the enemy?"
The shogunate generals who had been silent for a long time burst into laughter when they saw Zhang Han teasing Meng Zhi, including Wang Wei, burst into laughter.
Mengzhi's face was flushed by everyone's teasing, but he insisted on expressing his thoughts: "The General of the United States has no good strategy, but the reinforcements sent by the General were elusive outside the city. Yesterday, the enemy did not dare to attack the city. I believe that the General of the United States would be very taboo to attack the reinforcements. If necessary, the General of the United States would definitely contact us. The General of the United States suggested that our army guard the enemy's camp strictly. When they see reinforcements attacking the enemy's camp, we would go out to the enemy camp to cooperate in combat."
Seeing that Meng Zhi's plan was not very clever, Zhang Han could only do this for the moment. He put away his smile and said seriously: "All the generals obey the order!"
The generals immediately stood up and waited for the order. Zhang Han said: "According to the proposal of General Mengzhi, the city gates should be strictly guarded and defended to the death. No matter where the reinforcements were seen attacking the enemy camp, they would go out of the city to assist in the attack of the enemy."
"No--"
Xiang Liang moved the Central Army's tent to Xiying. After searching for the horses for a day, there were no more discoveries. He was about to have supper when he suddenly discovered the news that the Qin army had buried a pot and made rice in the first half of the evening and lined up to fight towards our Xiying.
When Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng heard this, they were shocked at the same time. They quickly gathered to discuss countermeasures and ordered all battalions to take strict guard against defense.
After the generals arrived one after another, they listened to Fan Zeng's brief explanation of the provocation of the horse. Then Xiang Yu said: "The Qin army had tried to attack the east and west the night before, and it must be the same tonight. We only need to prevent it in the Western Camp and then wait for an opportunity to pursue it, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."
Long Qi was once struggling with Han Xin for a night, feeling that it would not be that simple, and said anxiously: "The enemy's conspiracy is full of, it will not be that simple. Our army should not have arranged a mobile rescue army to be ready to reinforce another battalion at any time. Never go out to pursue it in the dark to prevent it from falling into a trap."
Xiang Yu chased Ji Bu in a panic on the eve of the past, and looked down on Long Qi's cautiousness: "Why did General Long, who was once extremely brave, become so timid at this moment? This general chased the enemy without a ground fleeing."
Xiang Liang saw that the two were about to fight and stopped him: "Okay, stop arguing, what are the clever plans for the military advisor?"
Everyone looked at Fan Zeng, and Fan Zeng said respectfully: "Zhong Limei withdrew the army of Dongying and stationed in the second battalion of the north and south to strengthen defense, and the northern camp drew 10,000 troops to the Xiying and strengthen defense."
Xiang Yu shouted: "No, our army finally surrounded the Qin army in the city, how can we let it go?"
Xiang Liang also said: "Yes! How can the military advisor let the enemy troops surrounded by us go? Once the Qin army unites the troops, it will be even more difficult to annihilate them."
Fan Zeng blushed and argued: "My more than 200,000 troops surrounded the city, and there must be no contact between the enemy inside and outside. Our army only needs to block reinforcements and find fighter jets to annihilate them, and siege the city again. The enemy will not dare to break through."
After hearing Fan Zeng's explanation, Xiang Liang still couldn't accept it, so he asked Fan Zeng slowly: "Does the military advisor have any other strategies?"
Seeing that she could not persuade Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng said, "The general went to guard the Dongying immediately. I and Zhongli Mei guarded the Xiying. The major general still guarded the Beiying. General Long Qi guarded the Nanying. The second camp in the north and south were ready to support the Xiying at any time."
Xiang Yu originally wanted to insist on attacking, but he had no choice but to accept Fan Zeng's arrangement.
When night fell, the Qin army, like the night before, rumbling war drums approached Xiying and began to attack, and still shooting bows and arrows against the defenders of the Xiying of the Chu army, and feinted the attack.
At the third update, the North and South Camps of the Chu army were attacked, but Xiang Yu from the North Camp did not abide by Fan Zeng's request and directly led his army out of the camp to pursue the Qin army. Long Qi of the South Camp strictly followed the general order, defending while contacting the situation of the West Camp.
Mengzhi, at the city of Langya County, saw rockets shooting down from the enemy's Xiying, so he went to ask for an order to lead his army out of the city. This time, Zhang Han sent Wang Wei to lead 20,000 troops to attack Xiying, and arranged for Mengzhi to lead 30,000 troops to pay close attention to the situation of the enemy in the southern camp.
On the other side, Han Xin sent troops to attack the Chu army's Xiying, without any progress. After the Qin army in the city came out to attack, the Xiying was in a little riot. Seeing that there was no chance to annihilate the enemy, Han Xin ordered Meng Xin to move the cavalry and main force to the Nanying to attack.
Long Qi from the Nanying was in close contact with Fan Zeng from the Xiying at any time. After hearing that the Qin army in the city sent troops to attack the Xiying, he immediately told the deputy general to defend the camp and led his army of 20,000 to reinforce the Xiying.
As soon as Long Qi's army left, Mengzhi in the city discovered his intention and excitedly led his army out of the city and sneaked into Nanying.
Han Xin's main infantry attacked Nanying, and Mengzhi also attacked from the city. The tactic of front and back attacks worked and soon created a back and forth area for the cavalry to charge back and forth.
Han Xin immediately withdrew the infantry and went to pick up Ziying's army in the west, and left the rest to Meng Xin to rush to kill. After being attacked by the Qin army's internal and external forces, Fan Zeng asked for help from the north and south camps. But when he heard that Xiang Yu had attacked, he jumped up and cursed: "Zhu Zi, it's a big deal for me!"
Fortunately, Long Qi led his army to reinforce, but after nearly an hour of fighting, he found that the Chu army was fighting with the Qin army from the city, and the Qin army outside was just crossbows.
Fan Zeng shouted that he had been fooled and ordered Long Geng to go back to guard the southern camp immediately.
At this time, Xiang Liang of the East Camp closely monitored the situation of the second camp in the north and south camps. He heard that Xiang Yu of the North Camp had attacked. The Nan camp was attacked by the Qin army internally and externally, and there were cavalry charges. He quickly led a 30,000 army to aid the Nan camp.
When Long Qi led his army back to the Nanying camp, Meng Xin's cavalry had already chaoticized the Nanying camp, and Meng Zhi also came to kill him happily. After they met, they exchanged the imperial orders and Han Xin's orders.
Seeing Long Qi back to the rescue, the reinforcements from Dongying (Chu Army) also arrived. Meng Zhi, Meng Xin saw that there were too many enemy troops and was not sure of defeating them. Both sides organized retreat in an orderly manner.
When Long Qi saw that the camp was attacked by the enemy, it was very messed up, but he did not lose the camp in the end, so he ordered the army to kill the enemy troops entering the camp.
In less than half an hour, Long Qi's army was killed more than 10,000 times, but the Qin army suffered very little casualties and withdrew from the position safely.
When Fan Zeng killed Wang Wei, he was about to turn around and deal with the Qin army outside, but found that there were many more Qin troops on the west side of the camp, so he did not dare to go out to pursue the camp rashly. Taking advantage of the cover of night, the Qin army retreated safely on the entire line.
Xiang Yu's pursuit was exactly the same as the night before yesterday. The Qin army ran away and took turns firing crossbows at different positions. No Qin army encountered it, so they had to retreat.
After a night of fierce fighting, Han Xin's army suffered almost no losses, and Meng Xin's cavalry rushed the Chu army to death in the southern camp.
On the Xiying side, only Wang Wei and Zhonglimei's army fought head-on. The Qin army lost more than 1,000 yuan, and the combat quality of the Chu army was not as good as that of the Qin army, and it lost more than 2,000 yuan.
Fan Zeng ordered the battalions to send horses to collect enemy situations one after another, and soon received rewards for horses to explore: only a few Qin troops retreated to their camps, and the rest of the Qin troops disappeared again...
After hearing this, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were shocked and immediately gathered to discuss countermeasures and how to find a fighter opportunity.
Xiang Yu was teased by the Qin army twice in a row and was very angry: "Why should you be so suspicious? Xiang Mou was willing to lead the army to take the Qin army camp and beat them up to see what conspiracies they can do!"
Seeing that Xiang Yu did not abide by the military orders at all, Fan Zeng would have led his army to aid last night, he might have been able to eat Wang Wei's 20,000 troops. Since there is no way to find out the reality of the Qin army, it would be better to let Xiang Yu disturb the Qin army camp. It would be better to try it.
Fan Zeng was about to order Xiang Yu to attack the Qin army camp, and the messenger sent a report that the Qin army envoy sent a letter of war.
The generals were shocked, and Xiang Yu was even more angry and exploded: "What else do you think of the bird war book? Bounce directly over and beat them!"
Xiang Liang quickly stopped Xiang Yu: "Just, don't be reckless! Let's take a look at the situation of the Qin army's war letter."
Fan Zeng opened the letter of war in gold and silk and saw that it read: Five days later, twenty miles outside the west gate of Langya County, the Qin and Chu armies discussed the war formation and military strategy together. The signature was Han Xin.
After reading the war book, Xiang Liang said, "The Qin army is ecstasy and is nowhere to be seen at this moment. However, if you send the war book, there may be a conspiracy."
