Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chen Cangcheng in September of the fourth year of Zhongping.

As a strong city in Fufeng County and an important town in Guanxi, Chencang City has a tall and deep city wall and rich storage of rolling wood and stone in the city. Therefore, Liu Ye's battle for defending the city can be described as solid.

Between two months, Han Sui repeatedly attacked the city, but Liu Ye used a wealth of means to stop him, and both Han Suijun and Liu Yejun suffered heavy injuries. Han Suijun’s original army of 100,000 left only less than 60,000. Morale low.

In the middle of the night, Han Sui tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep over and over, only feeling his head was in chaos.

Han Sui suddenly jumped up from the couch, handed a layer of brocade robe on him, and went out on a patrol camp with an axe. The camps of nearly sixty thousand troops overlapped, and it can be described as heavily guarded, and the cold air made him sober.

"En?" Han Sui frowned suddenly and heard a sound of singing. He suddenly squeezed the axe with his five fingers, and walked in the direction of the singing, but did not show up.

I saw dozens of Qiang people gathered next to a bonfire, singing the tune of Qiang songs in a low voice, and the tune was low and sad.

"It's been a long time since I returned to my hometown. I don't know what happened to my little girl?" A tall and strong Qiang raised his head to the sky and couldn't help lamenting.

"Brother Yao, if I can go back this time, how about marrying your little girl to my younger brother?" a Qiang man next to him joked.

"Dreaming, little girl, those are my eyeballs, can they be easily given to you?" The Qiang said with a smile, and dozens of Qiangs around laughed together, but as the laughter gradually declined, the group of people couldn't help but continue. Singing the tune of Qiang songs, I am eager to return home.

Han Sui on the side was furious at first, but then gradually calmed down and walked back to the account with his axe.

"Biography Yan Xing came to see me."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yi will bring a cold wind into the tent, his face is still slightly sleepy.

"Father-in-law, what do you need to call me in the middle of the night? Is it because you want to attack the city at night?" Yan Xing asked.

"Yanming, just now a certain axe to patrol the camp, guess what did you see?" Han Sui said slowly.

"Could it be that someone wants to run away? A certain amount of people will arrest them!" Yan Xing said coldly. Recently, a few Qiang soldiers were indeed homesick, so they fled in private.

"No, there are dozens of soldiers gathered together, Qiang Song in the middle of the night."

Han Sui and Yan Xing became silent together.

"Father-in-law..." Yan Xing's tone suddenly changed sincerely: "Instead of consuming soldiers under Chencang City, it is better to return to Jincheng County. The Western Regions Protector House has long been a shell of paper, and our army has tens of thousands of iron knights. , You can completely dominate the Western Regions, why bother to occupy Liangzhou?"

Han Sui was silent for a while when he heard Yan Xing's words, and nodded.

Yan Xing was overjoyed: "My son-in-law will go down and tell the generals to pack up and prepare to return home."

"No!" Han Sui shook his head.

Yan Xing was stunned. Is it possible that his father-in-law has to go back and regret it?

"Liu Ye is very good at using soldiers. If our army retreats suddenly, Liu Ye will inevitably chase after it, and there will be a violent chaos. It would be good if half of our army can withdraw to Jincheng County." Han Sui had a calculated expression on his face.

Yan Xing looked puzzled: "What does father-in-law mean?"

Han Sui looked firm and said: "Order the army to step up the attack from tomorrow, and not show the illusion of our army's retreat. After three days of fierce attack, retreat overnight, and also use the method of hanging sheep and drumming to confuse the enemy."

"Here!"

...

Han Suijun started uncharacteristically on the second day. Qiang soldiers seemed to go crazy and launched a suicide charge against Chen Cangcheng. Thousands of corpses were piled up under Chen Cangcheng.

Pound added another wound to his body, which was just left to him after Yan Xing went to the city recently after a fight with him.

"General, is it possible that Han Sui has brought in reinforcements from Jincheng County again?" Pound said to Liu Ye on the side.

Liu Ye shook his head and smiled: "No, I think Han Sui wants to retreat."

Pound was taken aback: "Han Sui attacked the city so fiercely. It seems that he wanted to take Chen Cangcheng with his life. How could he take the initiative to retreat?"

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Ling Ming, the enemy soldiers are already showing fatigue. The Korean thieves are not incapable of using the art of war, but they still ordered the soldiers to sacrifice their lives to attack the city. Why can't you think of this?"

Pound questioned: "Could it be Han Sui... deliberately making a gesture to confuse our army, in fact it is to paralyze our army, so that it is convenient to retreat?"

Liu Ye smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Pound on the shoulder: "Ling Ming, in the future, I will study the book of war, and I will be the only one in the future."

Pound nodded and said excitedly: "I will finally understand, but since the enemy wants to retreat, presumably the general already has a way to deal with it?"

Liu Ye nodded and believed, "Left Chaqi has officially made his comeback. A few days ago, he rushed to Meiyang Camp and sent 20,000 troops from Zhang Wen. I think now that Chen Cangcheng is not far away."

"Very good! In this way, our army can attack inside and out, and the thief army will break."

In the next three days, Han Sui ordered his generals to fight to the death to attack the city. The battle between the two armies suddenly reached a feverish level. There were countless corpses piled up under Chen Cang. However, the more Han Suijun’s offensive became, the more Liu Ye believed in Han Sui. News of the upcoming withdrawal.

On September 17, Han Sui was in the army.

"My lord, the lieutenant generals are ready." Yan Xing said with his helmet and his fist clasped.

"Use the hanging sheep to beat the drums and order the whole army to retreat."

Suddenly, Han Sui's army made a loud battle drum, as if ordering the whole army to attack the city at night. In fact, more than 50,000 troops filed out from the barracks. Han Sui was worried that Liu Ye could see the retreat. Therefore, Lieutenant Generals of the Strict Order were not allowed to light torches. Tens of thousands of troops were facing west under the dark night Slowly retreated.

Because there is no torch, the speed of the retreat of Han Suijun is limited, and it has just withdrawn less than ten miles.

"Master, it's too slow to withdraw without a torch. How about our army lighting a torch?" Yan Xing suggested to Han Sui.

Han Sui shook his head: "No, if the torch is lighted, Liu Ye knows that our army will retreat and will inevitably chase and retreat first. If the enemy does not pursue it, our army will light the torch again."

Therefore, even if Han Suijun was marching in the dark, he did not light the torch. A group of people only marched in the dark, and the distance of visibility was very blurred.

At this moment, suddenly a large black shadow slowly approached behind him, and it was also not firing the light, and rushed towards Han Suijun.

"Igniter!"

I saw that after Han Sui's army, a torch was suddenly lit, and a banner with the word "Huangfu" in the book was very conspicuous in the fire.

The beard and hair in the center are all white, but the spirit is shining.

"A big man rode Huangfusong on his left cart and was ordered to break the thief."
