Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 560

Chapter 559: The Empty City

Zhang Liang, as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, would not come to Hulao Pass alone. He also brought two guards, Dian Wei and Dian Jie.

Dian Wei is naturally very familiar, while Dian Jie, who is relatively unfamiliar, is Dian Wei's eldest brother.

In the original history, Dianjie used a pair of hammers, and he was as powerful as an ox, and no one could match.

During the battle of Yangchangban, Zhao Yun cut down several Cao army banners and was besieged by Cao generals, and Dian Jie also led his infantry to help in the battle.

Later, all the generals were killed by Zhao Yun, and Dianjie had no horses, so he was caught up by Zhao Yun. As a result, he was cut off by Zhao Yun under the edge of the green sword, and became the bitter death of more than 50 people who died in the long board battle. One of the forced warriors.

"Dian Wei, Dian Jie, I now order the two of you to stay in the Hulao, and you must not let a member of the Han army climb the city wall." Zhang Liang ordered with a cold face.

Hearing the words, the two brothers clasped their fists together and said, "No!"

--------

Han army, Li Yuanba camp.

"Have a good rest, Yuanba."

Looking at his tired and lethargic brother, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with warmth, and he stepped forward to cover Li Yuanba with a quilt.

Although Li Yuanba failed to kill Xiang Yu, he won the title of 'No. [-] in the world', which was very good in Li Shimin's opinion.

Xiang Yu is by no means easy to kill, and being able to deprive him of the title of 'No. [-] in the world' is also a good start for revenge.

"Yuanba, you have done a good job. Now the important task of killing Xiang Yu is left to the second brother. The second brother swears that he will never let him go."

There was a flash of murderous intent in Li Shimin's eyes, and then most of them walked out of the camp, preparing to command the army to attack the city overnight.

The reason why Li Shimin attacked the city overnight was just one aspect of the morale of the whole army, and because some of the follow-up troops had already arrived, so naturally he could send infantry to attack the city.

Attacking a city at night is definitely not as good as during the day, but after all, the quality of the soldiers on both sides is vastly different, which is also Li Shimin's confidence. He believes in the combat power of the Liangzhou army.

The first batch of infantry arrived, with a total of only [-], Li Shimin personally attacked the city with [-] infantry, and borrowed Wu Jiasan as the pioneer of the siege.

Under the secret command of Zhang Liang, the defending team used Dian Wei Dianjie as the defender to defend with all their might. Relying on the geographical advantage and tenacious fighting spirit, they were as stable as Mount Tai in a short period of time.

After the four-hour night of onslaught, both sides fought hard all night, and both suffered great casualties.

The sky gradually became brighter, and reinforcements from the Han army arrived again. Although the defenders adopted the method of taking turns to defend and rest, they still could not prevent the situation from turning towards the Han army a little bit.

The Han army's attack during the day was more violent than that at night, not to mention that Li Shimin was in command.

If it weren't for Zhang Liang's remote command from the rear, Dian and Wei Dianjie alone would not be able to survive the night.

It was another four-hour siege. It was noon on the third day, and now more than half of the defenders at Hulao Pass had suffered casualties, and all the defenders had already been exhausted after fighting hard all night.

If Xiang Yu could play, it would also boost the morale of the defenders, but Xiang Yu has not woken up yet, which shows that yesterday's consumption has not recovered.

In half a day, Zhang Junbao's reinforcements will arrive, but relying on these tired soldiers, trying to hold on for a long time under the onslaught of tens of thousands of Han elites is nothing but a dream.

"In the end how to do?"

Zhang Liang had already been cornered by Li Shimin. It was noon now. The Han army was also eating lunch when they suspended the attack. After finishing eating, they would start the next attack. How could they resist Hulao Pass?

There was a flash of determination in Zhang Liang's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "Li Shimin, I didn't expect you to force me to such a point, and now I can only take risks."

Zhang Liang went to the city to look from afar and saw that the Han army camp was already preparing for the next attack, so he ordered to the left and right:
"Send the order quickly, hide all the flags and flags in the pass, and all the troops guard the alleys in the city. Anyone who travels without authorization and speaks loudly will be executed."

When Dian Jie heard this, he was immediately full of doubts. The enemy army was about to attack, but instead of guarding the pass, he hid in the pass.
"Prime Minister, why is this?" Dian Jie asked suspiciously.

"It's too late to explain, you just hurry up and give the order."

Dian Jie did not dare to disobey, so he just went down to give orders, and then Zhang Liang said to Dian Wei: "You send someone to open the gate of Hulaoguan, and send more than ten veterans out to clean the gate."

Instead of defending the city, he took the initiative to open the city gate?This is what Zhang Liang said. If it were someone else, Dian Wei would probably think that he would surrender, and Zhang Liang, who was a general of Ren Gong, naturally couldn't surrender to the Han army.

Dian Wei scratched his scalp vigorously, and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister, what's the trouble?"

"You don't have to ask, I have a plan."

Dian Wei had no choice but to obey, while Zhang Liang also took off his armor, put on a Confucian robe, wore a lun towel and held a feather fan, led two guards to carry a qin, and climbed to the top of Hulao Pass. , burn incense and play the piano.

After the Han army's outpost arrived at the city, they saw that the city gate of Hulaoguan was wide open, the city was empty, and there was a scribe playing the qin upstairs.

Seeing that the situation in front of Hulao Pass was so strange, the Han army did not dare to enter the light entry pass, so they hurriedly reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin naturally didn't believe it when he heard about it, but when he left the camp, he couldn't close his mouth in shock.

A Confucian scholar is sitting on top of the tower, smiling brightly, burning incense and playing a qin, one on the left is a vision, holding a sword, on the right a guard, holding a stag tail, and more than ten veterans outside the city gate, bowing their heads and sweeping, as if no one is around.

This scene is so weird.

"Second brother, look at the man on the tower." Li Xiuning reminded.

After taking a closer look, Li Shimin said in shock, "Zhang Liang, it's Zhang Liang."

"Zhang Liang, Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty? Why is he in Hulao Pass?"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, and then said to Li Shimin, "Second brother, are you still going to attack?"

"Look at it first."

Li Shimin frowned tightly, and then shouted angrily to the left and right: "The enemy reinforcements have already arrived in the pass, but this general has not received any news. Are our army's spies blind?"

The spy leader immediately knelt down in fear and shouted: "General Mingjian, if the enemy reinforcements arrive, it is impossible to hide from our spies."

Li Shimin's anger was slightly restrained when he heard the words, but Li Xiuning said at this time: "Second brother, do you think it is possible that Zhang Liang is playing tricks to delay time?"

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin frowned and said, "The intelligence says that the enemy reinforcements will arrive in four days, and it's impossible for Zhang Liang to be so stupid to delay it for four days just by such tricks?"

"Report... General Qi, the spies in the front are urgently reporting that there is an enemy elite cavalry coming to Hulao Pass, and it is expected to arrive in half a day."

　Can Zhang Liang's version of the empty city plan work?Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition!
