Han Xin walked slowly down the city, feeling powerless as he had never felt before. Now there were fewer and fewer soldiers available in the city. The plague was slowly spreading, and the weather was getting hotter. Those soldiers who were sick

The treatment has become a problem. Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians in Hanoi County are still loyal, otherwise someone would attack the city because of the plague. "Have you brought all the injured soldiers down to bandage them?" Han Xinding

After calming down, he asked a guard next to him.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Exactly, but now there are less than three thousand available soldiers in the city. If this continues, we may not be able to defend for a few days. We need to ask the general for instructions on what we should do next.

"

Han Xin hesitated for a moment and then said: "The emperor sent me here to stop the Chu army because he trusted me. Even if the situation is very unfavorable to me now, I will stick to it. If I can persist, it will be a day. Even if it means death,

I also want to die in this city. And judging by the time, the emperor should have recruited a large number of troops back from the north. Maybe early tomorrow morning we will find that in addition to the Chu army, there is also an army of our Great Qin under the city."

Although Han Xinzhong did not think that it would be so fast to transfer more than 100,000 troops from the northern frontier, he could only say this in order to boost morale.

But the Qin soldiers around him didn't react, just because Han Xin had said this no less than ten times, but there was still only one Chu army outside the city. Han Xin sighed and asked again: "Those who are sick?"

Have the soldiers settled down?"

"They have all been locked up in a separate place. Someone will bring food and water on time every day. They should not be hungry. But according to the people there, their condition has become more and more serious. Now they are in urgent need of doctors and water."

Herbal medicine.”

Han Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The military doctors in the army are still busy bandaging the injured soldiers. How can they have time to take care of them? Moreover, these military doctors can also treat some gunshot wounds, but they are powerless against this plague. The only way now is

Just quickly repel the Chu army outside the city, and then send them to Xianyang for treatment."

As they talked, the group of them patrolled the city. After these days of fighting in the city, no people came to the streets anymore, and the arrows shot from outside the city were also stuck diagonally on the ground and walls. Now in the setting sun

It looks particularly desolate under the sunlight.

After a round of inspection, Han Xin returned to his residence with his soldiers. In order to facilitate the command and defense of the city, his residence had been moved to a private house under the city wall. As soon as he entered the house, Han Xin immediately

Ben Na looked carefully at the map of the four strategic locations in Hanoi County hanging on the wall. In the past few days, the Qin army was able to block the Chu army's attack with a small number of Qin troops, and the Chu army did not have much sense of the people and horses in the city.

The rapid decline was due to Han Xin's proper command.

Han Xin pointed to a place in the southeast and said: "There will be an ambush of five hundred swordsmen and axemen here tomorrow. I expect that after today's battle, the Chu army will definitely change the direction of the attack. This is the area where the Chu army attacked the most today."

They will definitely attack from here tomorrow. But we can let some people in first and use these five hundred swordsmen to annihilate them." Han Xin pointed on the map, allocating the remaining points.

He knew that the place where men and horses should guard was just to survive, but he could only hold on like this.

When the night got heavier, the city of Hanoi was already silent. The soldiers were tired from fighting during the day, so everyone slept very deeply at night. Only the soldiers who had been assigned tasks were able to support themselves and guard the city.

He was shaking his head to prevent himself from falling asleep. But Han Xin in the city didn't sleep either. He was now worried about the safety of Hanoi City and thinking about what he could do to keep the city guarded longer. So he was tossing and turning.

After being unable to fall asleep, Han Xin simply climbed up from the couch and stood in front of the map again to study it carefully. In fact, he had already memorized this topographic map of the surroundings of Hanoi County and the city, and even if it burned him, he would not mind it.

He could have drawn another one, but Han Xin still looked at it.

Suddenly he vaguely heard a sound coming from outside the city, which seemed to be the sound of men and horses fighting. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the Chu people have seen through the reality of my city and sent a large army to attack the city overnight?"

Thinking of this, he hurried out of the room without even putting on his armor, but just picked up the sword leaning against the wall.

Several of Han Xin's soldiers outside the room had also heard the sound, but they were not sure that it was the Chu people attacking the city. They also thought that Han Xin had not had a good rest for a while, and they hesitated.

Han Xin walked out quickly wearing only a robe. Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly went up to greet him. Han Xin waved his hand and said: "Come with me to the city to see what happens!" He said without waiting for the soldiers.

In response, they rushed to the city head first. The soldiers woke up when they saw Han Xin walking quickly, and hurriedly followed him towards the city.

When Han Xin went to the city and saw that no Chu army was attacking, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who is on duty tonight?" A corps commander came over and said, "It's the young one on duty.

, General, I was just about to go down to the city to report to you."

"What exactly is going on?" Han Xin asked as he walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down. He saw dozens of fires flashing through the Chu army's camp, and there were constant sounds of fighting.

Came from below.

The corps commander also said with some confusion: "Just now, suddenly there was a cry of killing from the city. I thought it was the Chu people who were attacking the city, and the soldiers were busy preparing to fight. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, no one was seen.

When we got to the city, we took a closer look and found that there was a fire in the Chu army camp, and there were constant sounds of fighting. I was afraid that the Chu army wanted to lure us out to investigate, so I haven't made up my mind yet.

Reporting to the general."

Han Xin sneered and said: "We only have a few thousand troops in the city, so why should the Chu army outside the city use any tactics? What a waste of time!" His mouth was talking, but his eyes were not idle, and he was still watching carefully.

The situation in the Chu army's camp. Suddenly he punched the city wall and said, "It's our Da Qin reinforcements that have arrived. You see, even the camp where the Chu army used to store food and grass is on fire." Everyone followed his instructions.

Looking with their hands, sure enough, the place where the Chu army was stationing grain, which they could identify during the day, was lit up with fire, and smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of several people.

Han Xin was overjoyed and said: "I didn't expect that the emperor actually sent reinforcements and arrived in time. God has blessed me in Hanoi County! Beat the drum quickly and wake up all the soldiers in the city, so that they can be ready within two moments. This general wants to

Together with the reinforcements outside the city, they attacked the Chu army from both inside and outside to vent their hatred of being trapped for so long."

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong..." The powerful drum beat resounded through Hanoi City, and the soldiers got up from their couches and the ground one after another. When they learned that reinforcements were coming, they were disturbed.

Dreaming and angry, they immediately became excited, and without any instructions from their respective generals, they all dressed up as quickly as possible. When they arrived at the city gate together, it took less than a quarter and a half. Han Xin watched with satisfaction.

The soldiers nodded. Although there are only less than 3,000 Qin troops left in the city now, those who remain are all men with high morale and strong bodies. Han Xin said loudly to them: "These past few days

, we have been attacked by the Chu people, and now our reinforcements have arrived, it is finally time for us to fight back against the Chu people, everyone follow me and fight out of the city, killing all the Chu people without leaving a trace!"

"Kill the Chu people and leave no one behind! Kill the Chu people without leaving any behind!" All the soldiers shouted loudly. As soon as the voices stopped, the city gate that had been closed for a long time opened, and Han Xin held the long sword in his hand.

He pointed towards the Chu army camp in front and said: "Kill!"

"Kill~!" The three thousand Qin soldiers shouted like crazy tigers out of Zhen and rushed towards the Chu army camp.

Xiang Yu really didn't expect that a Qin army would suddenly come from behind him. Although he was worried that if he delayed here for too long, the Qin army would transfer all the troops from the north back, but after counting the time, he didn't think so.

The Qin people were so fast that they mobilized the troops from the north here in such a short period of time. Even if they came, they would be too exhausted to fight with their own elite soldiers. But the Qin army still appeared, and

The combat power was far beyond Xiang Yu's expectations.

The Qin army first attacked the Chu army's rear with thousands of men and horses. When Xiang Yu and others reacted in time and sent men and horses to intercept them, more men and horses came from both wings to kill them. When they saw the tents, they used

The torch he brought with him was lit, and soon the whole Chu camp was ablaze. What made Xiang Yu even more annoyed was that he didn't know which Qin army actually lit his own granary with fire. Although it was blocked by the Chu army

It was put out in time, but a lot of food and grass were burned by the fire.

As soon as the granary was on fire, the Chu army was a little confused. If Xiang Yu hadn't tried his best to suppress it and ordered his soldiers to kill several soldiers who wanted to escape, the situation would have become even more chaotic. But the current situation is not optimistic either.

Although Xiang Yu was extremely brave and led his troops to fight the incoming Qin army, the Chu army had no idea how many enemies there were and which direction the Qin army came from, so they were all confused and their defeat was certain.

.

At this time, Fan Zeng came to Xiang Yu under the protection of some soldiers and said: "Overlord, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. In my opinion, we should retreat first. After the Qin army's situation is understood at dawn, we will think about it again."

It’s not too late to find a solution.”

But Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "No, if we withdraw tonight, our army's attack on the city these days will be in vain. I want to see how many Qin troops are here to help." As he said this, he rode forward again.
