Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 74

Since Fusu conquered Nanyue, Zhao Tuo has been deeply depressed by continuous attacking cities and villages. What worries Zhao Tuo the most is his only son, the majestic Nanyue king's son, who has surrendered to Daqin.

One after another, the Nanyue king was tired of Fusu. At this moment, Zhao Tuo was secretly delighted when he learned that Fusu had personally led an army of 12 troops into the hinterland of South Vietnam.

Zhao Tuo day and night thought about defeating Fusu on the land of Nanyue, but he had never been Fusu's opponent, and Fusu fled to Minzhong County in a hurry. Zhao Tuo thought that he would never have a chance to take revenge in his life. Unexpectedly, such a good opportunity came to his door right now, and the extinguished desire in Zhao Tuo's heart was also revived.

Zhao Tuo glanced at the officials excitedly, and spoke with a sinister smile.

"Ministers, it is really a rare opportunity for Fusu Xiaoer to lead an army of 12 into the hinterland of Minzhong County. I will try my best to strangle Fusu Xiaoer here in Minzhong County. Any objections?" Zhao Tuo said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objection." The chief minister standing in the front row of the hall was the first to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, my subjects have no objection."

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."

……

For a while, all the ministers echoed.

It's not that these ministers didn't know that Zhao Tuo's move was extremely risky, but that they were afraid of Zhao Tuo's despotic power and dared not disobey Zhao Tuo.When Wu Jian was around in the past, they dared to say something from the bottom of their hearts to Zhao Tuo.

Now this Zhao Tuo is no longer the king of Nanyue who can listen to advice, and the Prime Minister Wu Jian is no longer there. Once Zhao Tuo is angered, who else can speak for them?Therefore, the officials can only choose to succumb to Zhao Tuo's lustful power, not express any objection or simply choose to remain silent.

Seeing that none of the officials objected, Zhao Tuo's face showed a happy look of victory, and he began to arrange for the civil and military forces to encircle and wipe out the Su army.

The next day, General Xu Zhuo of the South Vietnamese Army obeyed Zhao Tuo's order, leaving 3 troops to garrison Dongye, and 20 South Vietnamese troops went straight to the Fusu army.

When the 20 South Vietnamese troops left Dongye, a South Vietnamese "commoner" quickly left Dongye City and rushed towards a mountain hundreds of miles away from Dongye. This person was sent by Han Chuan to Dongye. A spy in Yecheng to inquire about news.

After Han Chuan learned that the main force of the South Vietnamese Army had left Dongye, he immediately sent hundreds of people to the nearby mountains to gather the scattered Huben Army and Yinglong Army.

In fact, Han Chuan had arrived near Dongye three days ago. Since there were many South Vietnamese soldiers patrolling near Dongye, Han Chuan had to break up all the soldiers under his command and disperse them in more than a dozen places near Dongye. In a big mountain, in order to avoid the inspection of the South Vietnamese army.

Even after they were dispersed, the Qin army with the largest number of people only had more than 500 people, which would never attract the attention of the South Vietnamese army, because there were many bandits in the mountains near Dongye City, the largest number was thousands of people, and the few There are also six to seven hundred people, and there are no less than seven or eight branches with a number of 700 people. Therefore, the 500-man Huben Army will not easily attract the attention of the South Vietnamese Army, and all this is thanks to Zhao Tuo's tyranny.

Three days later, the Huben army and Yinglong army scattered in the mountains returned one after another. When Han Chuan counted the number of soldiers, he was surprised to find that there were more than 1 soldiers returning, and these 1 soldiers voluntarily surrendered to Qin. The bandits of the army, they were all forced to enter the mountain to become bandits. Now that they saw the Qin army appearing in Dongye, they found the Qin army closest to their cottage and volunteered to join them.

These people have long heard of Fusu's benevolent government in Guilin County and Nanhai County, and they have long hoped that Minzhong County will return to Daqin's rule as soon as possible. However, Zhao Tuo perverted Minzhong County and forced them to go up the mountain. After starting as bandits, now that the Qin army appeared, they naturally chose to surrender.

"A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger!"

Looking at the more than 1 "bandits" who surrendered, Han Chuan said with a heavy heart.These people were dressed in rags, their faces were yellow and emaciated, it was obvious that bandits were really hard to be!
"Lieutenant Zhisu, start cooking immediately, let these righteous men have a full meal, and don't let these righteous men participate in the attack on Dongye." Han Chuan ordered the army's Commander Zhisu.

"promise"

Lieutenant Zhi Su took the order, turned around and left, and went to gather the soldiers to start cooking.

"This general, why don't you let me attack Dongye City? Could it be that you don't trust me?" asked a righteous man who looked like a leader.

"Brother, the reason why you all want to enter the mountain...to resist the tyranny of the Nanyue King is to save your life in this troubled world. Now that my Qin army is here, how can you put your lives in danger again. Can you take the initiative at this time? Returning to my Great Qin is already a great achievement, how can I put you in danger again? I appreciate your kindness, but I won’t bother you about the siege of the city.”

Han Chuan bowed to the martyrs in front of him, and said sincerely to everyone.

After hearing what Han Chuan said, the righteous men fell silent. It turned out that they had misunderstood them. The reason why they didn't want to let him participate in the attack on Dongye County was actually for their own sake.

After a while, the righteous man who looked like a leader spoke again.

"General, although we have become bandits in this mountain, we still understand the truth. Don't worry, we have fought against Zhao Tuo's officers and troops a lot. We know their ways, and we will never give up easily. Take this life, or you will take us, and we will protect ourselves."

"Brother, don't embarrass me anymore. If you lose your life under the city of Dongye, how should I explain to the young master? Don't embarrass me anymore. Don't discuss this matter any more. ?" Han Chuan persuaded the bandits who had surrendered.

"Since you have difficulties, we will not force you anymore."

Seeing Han Chuan's distressed face, the leading righteous man had no choice but to give up, turned around and left embarrassingly.

When the leading martyr turned and left, several of his followers immediately chased after him, and began to persuade him one after another.

"Brother, please persuade me again!"

"Yes, brother, why don't you tell that general again, so that we can have a chance to join the battle."

"Brothers, don't talk about it, let's talk about it first after filling your stomach!" The leading righteous man said to the few followers around him, but the flash of shrewdness in his eyes could not be concealed. Fortunately, Han Chuan did not see.

At dawn the next day, Han Chuan and Zhao Shi led the Huben Army and Yinglong Army and set off, heading straight for Dongye City, a hundred miles away.

At noon, [-] tiger and cardinal troops and [-] Yinglong troops arrived at the foot of Dongye city. After resting outside Dongye city for half an hour, Han Chuan ordered all the soldiers to abandon their horses, change their cavalry to infantry, and start attacking Dongye with ladders. Yecheng.

According to Han Chuan's previous combat experience, he would never adopt such an extreme method of warfare, because cavalry is different from infantry, and is not suitable for the most direct method of attacking the city with a ladder, because Han Chuan is worried about Fusu In order to protect their safety, they had no choice but to choose the most direct method of combat, which is the most unsuitable for cavalry. After all, only in this way can they capture Dongye City in the shortest possible time and join Fusu as soon as possible.

Because the Huben Army and the Yinglong Army changed from cavalry warfare to siege warfare, it was too late to adapt to the siege warfare mode for a while, so many situations occurred during the offensive process; the attacks of each echelon could not be effectively connected, and there was no effective strategy. The siege killer.

Until sunset, Han Chuan was still unable to capture Dongye City, and the casualties of Huben Army and Yinglong Army had already exceeded [-].

Just when Han Chuan was at a loss, a "surprise soldier" appeared on the battlefield.

I saw the [-] "bandits" who had surrendered last night appear behind Han Chuan carrying ladders and crude weapons. They rushed to the foot of Dongye city screaming, and started to charge with ladders.

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the Huben Army and the Yinglong Army were moved, and the corners of countless people's eyes were moist.

"Kill!" Han Chuan yelled and took the lead in charging, and all the soldiers followed Han Chuan to the Dongye city.
