Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

After another whole day of tragic siege, as the sun slowly fell, Han Sui had to send an order to retreat.

The siege has been going on for three full days. The walls are covered with arrows, covered with traces of knives and axes, while the defenders pick up the arrows shot by the enemy on the head of the city, and at the same time The body of the dead soldier dragged down.

After three full days of siege, Han Sui’s army lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, while Liu Ye’s army also suffered as many as 5,000 deaths and injuries. Generally speaking, the proportion is not so high. On the side of the siege, the most famous battle was the battle of Chen Cang. Hao Zhao resisted the siege of Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops on the 20th with three thousand soldiers.

Chencang is an important town in the Kansai region with well-equipped defenses, while Xiangwu City is just a small county. Especially as the defensive materials such as rolling logs and rocks are exhausted, Liu Ye's army can only connect with the enemy in short-term battles except for bows and arrows. Therefore, the soldiers suffered casualties. huge.

However, Liu Ye personally supervised the battle. The recruits in the army took turns rushing to fight with the enemy. The sergeant and soldier experienced the test of blood and fire, which was a good thing.

After nightfall.

An army slowly approached Han Suijun in the dark.

"Has the general been notified?"

"Don't worry Yu Xiao, it's done, what should I do next?"

Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Beat the drum!"

Guan Hai was taken aback: "We soldiers, aren't we hitting rocks with pebbles?"

"Beating the drum doesn't have to be a battle." The corner of Yu Jin's mouth raised an upward arc.

The rumbling of the war drums that shook the sky suddenly awakened Han Sui from his dream.

"Who beats the drum to fight?"

"father in law!"

Yan Xing rushed into the account, and Han Sui hurriedly asked, "Did Liu Ye attack the city at night?"

Yan Xing shook his head: "It seems that a support soldier from Liu Ye's army has arrived outside the city and is beating the drums."

Han Sui nodded: "If you resist with a speed of five thousand cavalry, you will order the army sergeant."

Yan Xing was ordered to leave, leading five thousand cavalry out of the camp, only to see a camp in front of him, and immediately led the army to rush in without saying a word, rushing towards the sound of the war drum, but involuntarily stunned.

I saw more than ten battle drums lined up in the camp, and a dozen of the captured sheep hung upside down on the battle drum. Because of the panic and fluctuating four hooves, the sheep’s hooves struck on the drum surface, rumbling endlessly. sound.

"Hanging sheep drumming?"

Yan Xing was taken aback, and suddenly he felt like he was being played around.

...

"General!"

Yu Jin was slightly excited and stepped forward.

"Wenze, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for Wen, you would lead the army to flatten the kingdom first and then break Zhang Heng. I am afraid that the army of Han Sui's thieves has already swept into Tianshui County."

Liu Ye laughed and stepped forward and held Yu Jin's palm. He couldn't help but feel a little grateful. If Yu Jin hadn't reacted quickly, the situation would be pretty bad.

"General, a certain subordinate has gathered 15,000 soldiers, let the general dispatch."

Liu Ye nodded: "Now that you and my armies are gathered, there are already close to 40,000 people. Although they are still at a disadvantage compared to the enemy, they still have the power to fight."

Pound on the side came up and said: "I have heard that Huangfu's rider defeated the 100,000 Yellow Scarf Thieves of Changsha by fire attack. Now that it is entering the late autumn, how about our army as well as attacking the enemy? "

Zhang Jai shook his head: "The Changsha is full of weeds, and Huangfu’s plan of attacking fire by riding a car has succeeded. Han Sui, an old thief who is old in battle, cut down the weeds and trees near the camp when he set up camp. It’s hard to work."

"Meiyang camp is stationed with tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Cheqi, our army might as well invite Zhang Cheqi to cooperate with our army in the battle, how about the two armies attacking Han Suijun?"

Ma Teng suggested that although Zhang Wen Zhengxi ended in failure, there are still tens of thousands of Han troops stationed in Meiyang. If they can join forces with Liu Ye, their strength is even higher than Han Sui.

"Zhang Cheqi has long been scared by the rebels. It is impossible to send troops. Only a few people in the court dared to send troops to counter the rebellion."

Yu Jin sighed: "It would be great if Huangfu Cheqi re-hosted the Northwest War."

"Yep?"

When Liu Ye heard this, he gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, and suddenly smiled.

"If Han Suijun threatens Sansuke again, the imperial court will probably let Huangfu Chaqi play again."

"What does the general mean?"

...

Han Sui led his army and Liu Ye in a battle in Xiangwu City. Both armies suffered losses. Liu Ye sent people to inform Yu Jin to lead his troops northward. Yu Jin used the strategy of hanging sheep and drumming to deceive Han Sui and successfully accepted Liu Ye's Congxiang dance. The city broke through.

After the two armies joined forces, the strength reached more than 40,000, but Liu Ye continued to retreat south, but did not withdraw to Ji County, because this would lead the war to Tianshui County.

But Liu Ye led his army all the way and fought and retreated, and finally withdrew all the way into Fufeng County, and the 40,000 army retreated into Chen Cang City.

In the original historical trajectory, Chen Cangcheng was first besieged by an army led by the Kingdom, and then besieged by an army of 100,000 by Zhuge Liang of the Northern Expedition, and Hao Zhao quickly became famous thanks to the battle of Chen Cangcheng.

After Liu Yejun withdrew into Chen Cangcheng, Han Suijun realized that Liu Ye had become bigger and stronger. If Liu Ye could not be eliminated in one breath, then his rule in Liangzhou could not be maintained. Therefore, Han Sui immediately followed Liu Yejun and caught up. Chen Cangcheng.

The walls of Chen Cangcheng were tall and deep. Han Suijun’s offensive was defeated one by one in front of Liu Yejun. However, Han Sui was determined to fight against Liu Ye this time, so he stayed under Chen Cangcheng. The two armies sometimes fought.

The reason why Han Suijun chased Liu Ye fiercely was actually bewildered by Liu Ye. Liu Ye used Sun Bin’s plan to reduce stoves to reduce the number of stove pits that were used for cooking and cooking by half. At the same time, he ordered Fu Xie who was stationed in Tianshui Jixian raised the banner of Yu Jin, giving Han Sui the illusion that Yu Jin did not join forces with Liu Ye.

Han Sui thought that Liu Ye's army was only 20,000 in Xiangwu City. If he knew that Liu Ye's army had 40,000, he would have withdrawn his troops long ago.

After a long battle without success, if he retreats suddenly, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the sergeant soldiers. Therefore, Han Sui gritted his teeth and violently attacked Chen Cangcheng and refused to withdraw.

In fact, Han Sui has fallen into a gambler's psychology. The more casualties, the more pawns were thrown in. Therefore, Han Sui was very unwilling to get back the pawns he had put in. The number of Qiang and Hu soldiers who died in the city battle became more and more, but the siege battle was basically ineffective.

At the same time, the Qiang and Hu soldiers in the army are full of grievances and feel like an arrow to return.

Han Sui is in the camp.

"Father-in-law, the military sergeant's fighting spirit has faded. Why don't our troops return to Jincheng and make plans?"

Han Sui sighed, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured. If they retreat, wouldn't it be for nothing?
