After Fusu read the news sent from Chu, he couldn't help but frowned: "This time the Chu people really thought they could swallow up all of our Central Plains in one go. They actually divided their troops into three groups and sent out all the Chinese troops. And

I just ordered Han Xin to rush to Hanoi County. There are not many troops in Handan and Yingchuan counties and there are no good generals to guard them. What should I do?"

In fact, Zhang Liang and the others already knew the news the day before. They also discussed it all night before they came up with a safe method. So Zhang Liang came out and said, "Your Majesty, don't be frightened by the Chu people's momentum. Although it looks like

Their three-pronged attack left us with no way to defend ourselves, but in fact they also divided their strength thinly. The walls of Handan City are high and thick, enough to block the turns of hundreds of thousands of horses.

To attack, although there are currently less than 10,000 defenders in the city, it is not difficult to defend Yingchuan for a while. As for Yingchuan, the soldiers can be ordered to abandon the city and retreat after resisting for a while, and let the Chu army in first. Once they go deep alone,

, our opportunity has come. And Hanoi County is guarded by General Han. Although we are facing Xiang Yu, it is expected that if we only defend without attacking, it is possible to defend for a month."

Chen Ping also said: "The emperor's top priority now is to quickly recruit those soldiers who are still in the north and have them rush to several places to fight the enemy."

Fusu nodded and said: "The two beloved ministers are more calm. I will order the soldiers who rushed to northern Xinjiang to come back. This time the plan to lure the Chu army to attack has been successful. The next step is up to us.

Can we give the Chu people a fatal blow in the Central Plains?" After a pause, he continued

He continued, "I ordered Zhang Han to rush to Handan City quickly to help the defenders there to resist the Chu people's attack. He was able to capture Handan City in just a few days that day. He should have a clear understanding of the terrain there, and with his help

No matter how powerful the Chu soldiers are, they still can't capture Handan immediately."

Zhang Liang and the two men immediately followed the order and went out. At this time, Fusu picked up the cup on the table in front of him and took a sip of tea. After calming down, he began to worry about Han Xin in Hanoi, although he was worried about Han Xin leading the troops.

There is no doubt about his ability, and he knows that Han Xin in history was still Xiang Yu’s nemesis, but

The situation at that time was completely different from now. At that time, the Han army was several times more numerous than the Chu army, and it was a sudden attack that led to Xiang Yu finally committing suicide under the Gaixia. But now the Chu army is outnumbered. Don't wait until then.

Han Xin was so tired that he was forced to kill himself by Xiang Yu, then he would feel guilty. "The most important thing now is

Let the soldiers in the north come back quickly. If I had known that these Chu troops would move so quickly and divide their troops into three groups, I would not have transferred most of them to the north. As a result, the troops are now stretched thin."

Fusu thought with some annoyance in his heart, but he forgot that if he hadn't done this, Chu Ren wouldn't have done it at all.

Will send troops. But what makes Fusu happy is that none of the generals in the court followed the soldiers to the north. Those who led these troops to the north were the lieutenants and generals, because Fusu did not really want these troops.

Go to the grassland to fight the Huns, and these generals have enough to organize the troops and go back and forth between the two places.

When Fusu was lost in thought, a familiar voice came over: "Your Majesty, the most powerful and elite tiger warriors in the Qin Dynasty should be less than two hundred miles away from Xianyang at this time. Please send an order as soon as possible.

They called them back." Fusu looked at Meng Tian who came back at some point and said below.

Fusu asked strangely: "What's going on? Why is that Tiger Tiger still near me in Xianyang?" His tone was filled with surprise as well as joy.

Meng Tian said softly: "This is what I made in private. After they left Xianyang, I ordered them not to rush to the north, but to hide them hundreds of miles away from Xianyang. I thought about the Chu State

No matter how powerful the spies are, they cannot know the whereabouts of every army of our Great Qin, so I left this army near Xianyang, hoping that it would really work."

Fusu said happily: "General Meng is indeed a famous general of our Great Qin Dynasty. Why didn't I think of moving the troops out of Xianyang and hiding them on the spot? You quickly order them to rush to Hanoi County. Just reject Xiang Yu's troops.

Outside Hanoi County, the threat from these three Chu armies will be much reduced."

Meng Tian immediately took the order and left the palace, and soon dozens of riders galloped out of Xianyang City and headed north.

Three days later, Fusu received the military report from Hanoi County. He hurriedly read it. When he saw that Han Xin said that he ventured out of the city to attack Xiang Yu's camp at night, but finally retreated to the city, he had to tell Han Xin.

I admired him for his resourcefulness. If he were to lead his army there and face an enemy several times his own, and the enemy general would still be the already famous Xiang Yu, he would probably only think about how to hold on and wait for reinforcements instead of waiting for reinforcements.

He would first show the enemy weakness and then attack suddenly. After this battle, Fusu had more confidence in Han Xin. As long as he was in Hanoi County, Xiang Yu should not be able to attack that place. Since Han Xin has already

No longer worried, Fusu focused his attention on the other two places. The number of troops in Yingchuan County was originally smaller than that in Handan and Hanoi County, so a few days ago they decided to use the strategy of luring the enemy in depth, so they could let go for the time being.

On the other side, things were different in Handan. Although he had ordered Zhang Hanxingye to rush to the rescue, Fusu still couldn't let go. But now that Fusu was the emperor, the son of a rich man could not sit down in the palace, so he knew

No matter what I said, the ministers would not agree to go to those places in person, so I had to give up this tempting idea and ordered Peng Hong to send a message to Handan City, asking them to carry out offensive and defensive tasks every day.

After reporting the situation, Fusu felt a little relieved.

At this time, the Chu army outside Yingchuan City was storming the city. Countless Chu soldiers carried ladders and other siege equipment and rushed forward with shouts. However, before they were halfway through, they were staggered by random arrows from the city.

Yingchuan City is not a military hub, so there are not many Qin troops in the city, and they did not expect that the Chu people would attack here. And this city is not like Handan, which has been baptized by hundreds of years of war. The city walls

It is tall and thick, so when facing the Chu people's attack, the only thing that can be used is a crossbow with a longer range than the Chu people's bows and arrows. Fortunately, with this sharp weapon for defending the city, the Chu people have used it in the past few days.

The army did not capture the city. However, as time went by, the remaining arrows in the city were no longer enough. The Qin army guarding the city had a sad face, knowing that once the arrows in the city ran out, the Chu army would build a ladder.

When they come to the city, they will die under the sword of the Chu people. Thinking of this, the Qin army guarding the city wanted to abandon the city immediately, but because Qin Shi's punishment was very severe,

Those who fought but retreated would not be spared, let alone abandon the city. Therefore, under this pressure, the Qin army had to stay in the city and wait for the Chu army to attack the city and fight them desperately.

As the defender of the city, Liu Liu was also anxious at this time. Seeing the Chu army being pushed back and coming up again and again, he was really exhausted. He had not had a good sleep or a good meal for three days.

But his relatives are all in Xianyang City, and he has no other choice but to defend the city. If he abandons the city or opens the city, all his family members may be killed according to the laws of Qin. So.

For the sake of his own life, he could only lead his soldiers to guard the city until the city was broken and he died in battle.

Just when he was full of anxiety and helpless, a carrier pigeon flew into the city. Seeing this carrier pigeon, Liu Liu felt even more desperate. He took it for granted that the carrier pigeon had brought them orders to stick to.

.

But when he heard the order from Chang Shi in the letter asking them to evacuate the city at an unfavorable time, he completely stayed there. "The emperor actually didn't let us fight to the end, but actually made preparations for our retreat."

route." Liu Liu murmured, then suddenly knelt on the ground and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, Liu Liu, thank you for your grace!"

When he stood up again, the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart had been swept away, and his eyes became determined. Since he does not have to fight to the death even if the city is broken, what is there to be afraid of? With the future

He had become calmer on the way, and he immediately summoned some generals to tell everyone the news, and then said to them: "Although the emperor allows us to withdraw from the city and let the Chu army in if the opportunity is bad, but

But we can't just give up defending the city. Even if we abandon the city, the Chu people will have to pay a huge price."

It turned out that the generals had the same idea as him. When they heard the news that they could retreat, their fighting spirit was aroused unconsciously, and they all said they would defend for a few more days. So everyone went to call the soldiers over.

Let them carry all the wood and stones in the city that can be used to defend the city. Once the crossbow arrows are used up, they will use wood and stones to smash them to prevent the Chu people from climbing the city. And the soldiers also knew the news. They were grateful and guarded the city.

Just work harder.

Long Qie has been leading his army in Yingchuan County for several days. He originally thought that with his tens of thousands of troops, he would be able to take down the city within a day or two, but the crossbows on the city made him suffer a big loss.

Before his soldiers could rush to a stone's throw away from the city, random arrows from the city were already coming towards them, and many Chu soldiers died there in confusion. So he later changed his strategy,

The feint attacks of the soldiers continued to consume the enemy's arrows, thus the casualties of the soldiers were greatly reduced, but the progress of the siege was also very slow, and the ladder cannot be set up on the city until now.

But just yesterday, he had discovered that the arrow rain on the city was no longer as dense as the previous days. He knew that the Qin army's arrows were finally running out. So early this morning, he ordered the entire army to prepare and decided to
Chapter completed!
