Age of Empires: Beginning Reincarnation as Prince of Qin

Chapter 212 Li Shimin loses again.

Li Zuoche is young after all, he doesn't know that this world is sinister and unpredictable.

Following Han Xin's order, Li Zuoche came to Li Shimin to ask for the city.After meeting Li Shimin, I found that Li Shimin was easy to talk to.

After Li Zuoche expressed his intention of coming, Li Shimin was not ambiguous, if he wanted the city, he would give it, he didn't say no!

However, now Li Shimin's army is stationed in the city, and all the supplies such as food, grass and military equipment are also in the city.

If you are willing to bet and lose the city, you will naturally have to give it, but if you want to withdraw, it will not happen overnight.

Ever since, Li Shimin also made a request.We will definitely give this city, but we must ask the King of Chu to allow some time. After we have transported the food, grass and weapons and all the soldiers have withdrawn, we will definitely give this city to the King of Chu.

After Li Zuoche heard Li Shimin's words, he thought to himself, this Li Shimin is quite easy to talk to, he is not a person who does not keep his word.

No, so Li Zuoche and Li Shimin made an appointment for three days.During these three days, Li Shimin packed up the food, grass, ordnance and other things in the city and transported them out. Once they arrived within three days, Li Shimin left immediately and gave the city to Chu King Han Xin.

After Li Zuoche completed the task, he went to see Qin Qiong again and gave him a gift to thank Qin Qiong for not killing him.

After seeing Qin Qiong and expressing his gratitude, Li Zuoche didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried back to the camp to return his master Han Xin.

The big camp of the Chu army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

Han Xin was standing in front of the sand table, carefully observing the situation on the sand table.Han Xin's eyes are not big, but the light of a wise man is shining in them.

There is no doubt about Han Xin's IQ. It can be said that among the outstanding people in China for thousands of years, Han Xin is one of the best.

Han Xin was looking at the sand table, surrounded by a group of generals, Han Xin looked at the sand table, and these generals looked at Han Xin.

In other words, Han Xin is looking at the sand table and he is studying the battle situation. What are these generals doing looking at Han Xin?

The reason why these people look at Han Xin is because they all know that Han Xin is a good teacher.

That is to say, when Han Xin is studying military affairs, he likes to give advice to others.

At this time, if you can get a few words of advice from Han Xin, it can be said to be better than reading any number of military books.

These generals gathered here one by one, and their purpose was to get Han Xin's guidance.

"Da da da."

At this moment, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside.Not long after, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Li Zuoche walked in from the outside.

Needless to say, after seeing Li Zuoche, all the generals in the tent were very surprised.

These people originally thought that if Li Zuoche went to Li Shimin's important city at this time, he would be killed by Li Shimin.

Never thought that Li Zuoche came back safe and sound.Moreover, judging by Li Zuoche's happy face, this matter must have been handled properly.

At this time, everyone thought to themselves, no wonder he is the apprentice of our King Chu, he is indeed courageous and capable.

Thinking of this, these generals were even more eager to get Han Xin's guidance.

The generals saw Li Zuoche coming in from the outside, and Han Xin naturally also saw Li Zuoche.

Han Xin asked Li Zuoche, "Zuoche, how are things going?"

Hearing this, Li Zuoche nodded slightly and replied: "Teacher, this Li Shimin is a believer. When he found out that I came here to ask for the city, he didn't feel displeased, but agreed."

"It's the way it is."

Immediately afterwards, Li Zuoche told Han Xin about the agreement between himself and Li Shimin.Finally, Li Zuoche also praised: "Teacher, I think this Li Shimin is a trustworthy person."

After Li Zuoche finished speaking, he saw Han Xin squinting at him.That look gave people an indescribable feeling.

Li Zuoche was stared at by Han Xin's eyes, which made his whole body prickly. Li Zuoche scratched his head and asked in puzzlement, "Teacher, why are you looking at me with such eyes!"

Han Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!"

"Zuo Che, you are an honest man. How could he, Li Shimin, hand over the city so honestly? In my opinion, this must be his plan."

Hearing what Han Xin said, Li Zuoche became even more confused.He didn't think that Li Shimin was using tricks!
Speaking of them, they have already agreed with Li Shimin that Li Shimin will withdraw, and then they will go in. At that time, the city will be in their hands. Are you afraid that Li Shimin will have any plans?

Li Zuoche was still young after all, so he didn't know the tricks.Han Xin is an old war veteran. He has experienced a lot and has seen a lot.Hearing what Li Zuoche had said, he knew that Li Shimin was trying to trick him.

However, use a trick?
Li Shimin used tricks to deal with Han Xin, which is more or less like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong's door.

"Teacher, what's the plan?" Li Zuoche asked Han Xin.

Han Xin smiled slightly, twirling his mustache, and replied: "Zuo Che, it's the first time you asked to see him, but he didn't see you, which means that Li Shimin must want to renege on his debt."

"It didn't take long, and he took the initiative to meet you again, which means that someone behind this gave him an idea."

"Let's go to him to ask for the city. Obviously, they want to use their tricks."

"If my guess is correct, he, Li Shimin, wants to evacuate the soldiers from the city during the day, giving us the illusion of withdrawal, and then order the soldiers to come back secretly at night!"

"In this way, his army is still in the city. If we rush into the city three days later, they will catch us by surprise if they are prepared or not. When the time comes, we will definitely be defeated."

It has to be said that Han Xin is really powerful. In a few words, he explained the idea that Xu Maogong gave to Li Shimin.

Xu Maogong can be regarded as a very good military advisor in terms of attainments, but compared with Han Xin, he has to go further.

After hearing teacher Han Xin's explanation, Li Zuoche also recalled it.This matter is indeed a bit wrong. He went to claim the city, and Li Shimin agreed too readily.

It stands to reason that if a city is lost for no reason, even if Li Shimin agrees to give it to the city, his face will definitely not look good.

However, when he went this time, Li Shimin's face could be said to be very ruddy, with a face full of spring.

Li Zuoche understood, it seemed that he had probably fallen into Li Shimin's trick.Thanks to the teacher's analysis and suggestions, otherwise I would still be fascinated by it, unable to know myself.

"King Chu, what should we do?" At this time, Han Xin's subordinate asked first.

At this time, the corners of Han Xin's eyes showed the light of wisdom again, and he, Han Xin, was not qualified for a mere Li Shimin.

Han Xin looked at the map, and said in a deep voice: "Since Li Shimin wants to make a plan for me, then I will give him a plan and make another plan."

"Let's pretend we didn't see through his strategy, and go to take over the city as usual three days later. When the two sides are fighting fiercely together, we will send a surprise soldier to burn down the Tang army's granary."

In ancient wars, what is important is that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The food and grass are very important.

Therefore, if you want a big victory without any effort, you can often get it by burning food.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Boss Cao especially liked to burn people's food and grass.And whenever he can successfully burn people's food and grass, he can often win a big victory.

Immediately afterwards, Han Xin pointed to the sand table and said, "After three days, I will personally lead the army to meet Li Shimin in front. Only after seeing me can Li Shimin rest assured."

"I will meet Li Shimin at the north city gate. At that time, take the car on the left, and you will bring hundreds of elite soldiers and prepare hooks and chains. After you go around the west gate, climb inside the city wall. At that time, you will mix into the city and light the fire. The Tang army's food and grass in the city."

"In this way, we must return with a big victory!"

Han Xinxin thought, you, Li Shimin, don't admit it if you lose, but you can't afford to lose if you win, right?

Well, since you don't want to give this city, then I don't want this city either.I burned all your food and grass for you. When the time comes, I want to see you, Li Shimin, guarding this city, what do you eat and drink.

It has to be said that Li Shimin looked a little immature in front of Han Xin.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

In the past three days, Li Shimin really did exactly as Han Xin expected, the army left the city with great fanfare during the day, and then sneaked back at night when the flags died down.

What is the purpose of Li Shimin's abolishment of such an old nose, in order to eliminate Han Xin's vital forces in the first battle.

Including those grain trucks that Li Shimin transported out of the city, those grain trucks were not pulling grain, but yellow sand.The real military rations are still in the city.

Li Shimin worked hard to direct such a big play, but Han Xin had already guessed his script.

And what Han Xin guessed about these things can't be said to be very similar, but exactly the same!

In the evening of the third day, the army led by Han Xin was ready to take over the city.

Why did they accept the city in the evening? It was mainly to cover Li Zuoche.Han Xin set off to take over the city in the evening, and it was completely dark when the two sides fought.

As soon as it got dark, Li Zuoche's sneaking into the field would be smoother.

In the distance, Li Shimin stood on the top of the city, watching Han Xin's army approaching the city in the distance, Li Shimin frowned tightly.

Li Shimin just looked at it like this, and he also saw something wrong with Han Xin's army.

What is wrong with Han Xin's army?
When other soldiers and horses march and fight, they always put the cavalry at the forefront, and then the infantry.

But Han Xin was different. Han Xin put the infantry at the front and the cavalry at the end.

The reason why Han Xin arranged it this way was just in case.

There must be an ambush by Li Shimin in this city. If the cavalry is in the front, once they enter the city, they will encounter an ambush.If the cavalry can't charge, it's a living target.

On the contrary, the infantry is at the front. If they encounter an attack, they can set up shields and defend in an orderly manner.

Seeing Han Xin's unreasonable way of marching, Li Shimin's heart beat a little.

"Military division, the cavalry is fast, but the infantry is slow, how can you put the cavalry behind the infantry!"

"Sir, tell me, did Han Xin see our strategy?" Li Shimin asked Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong twirled his goatee's beard, and then said: "You should not be able to. If you know that there are tigers in the mountain, how can you go back to the tiger mountain?"

"If Han Xin saw our strategy, he would definitely not lead the army into the city. Let's see if he comes in or not."

When Xu Maogong said this, Li Shimin nodded involuntarily. What he said made sense. Let's see if Han Xin will enter the city or not.

During the time he was speaking, he saw that Han Xin, the king of Chu, who was wearing armor and surrounded by a group of soldiers, had already arrived at the city.

Han Xin didn't hesitate, and directly led the people into the city.

"Military Master, this Han Xin has really been fooled!"

"Quick, quickly order the archers to prepare! When Han Xin enters the Wengcheng, shoot me random arrows and shoot him to death!" Li Shimin ordered immediately.

Li Shimin is now hiding on the top of the city gate and looking down. Looking in from outside the city, Li Shimin can't actually be seen.

At this time, Li Shimin didn't hide anymore, and went directly to the urn city with his sword.

The ancient city wall was a big city on the outside, surrounded by a small city inside.This small city is the Wengcheng. Once the enemy enters the Wengcheng, the enemies in all directions on the wall can attack the people in the Wengcheng.

"Soon, soon!" Li Shimin clenched his fists and murmured excitedly.

In the blink of an eye, Han Xin had already led people into the Wengcheng.

"It's this time, shoot the arrow!"

"Let go!" Don't come when the opportunity is too late, just when Han Xin entered the Wengcheng, Li Shimin immediately gave the order to release the arrow.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

"Whizzing."

"Whoosh."

In an instant, there were arrows everywhere in all directions, and Wengcheng shot down.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Hurry up, protect the king of Chu and get out of the city!" There were roars from under the urn city!

"Can't let them go, stop Han Xin for me!"

"Whoever kills the king of Chu, Han Xin, will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and sealed as Marquis of a Thousand Households!" Li Shimin immediately issued an order.

At this time, a large shield has been erected below, and the rain of arrows on the city wall is difficult to kill the people below.

However, under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Li Shimin's words made the soldiers of the Tang army rush down the city wall as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

All of a sudden, you come and go in the small urn city, and a bloody battle broke out.

In fact, it wasn't Han Xin who was trapped in the urn city at all.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Han Xin is the commander of the three armies, how can he easily take risks?

This person is just a substitute that Han Xin found.It was already evening at this time, and the sky was so foggy that Li Shimin couldn't see clearly on the city wall.

I just thought that this person was wearing Han Xin's armor, under the flag of the Chinese Army, surrounded by generals, so he took him as Han Xin.
