Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 102 Han Army Banner
When the last Donghu soldier fell in a pool of blood, the Youxian King of the Huns looked at the city wall in front of him with a hint of hesitation, and then ordered to the surrounding soldiers: "Send the order, leave some soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The rest of the soldiers and horses, retreat Set up camp ten miles away."

"Follow orders".The soldiers bowed to accept the order, then turned and walked away to convey the military order.

The Right Wise King of the Xiongnu pulled the reins, turned around, slapped the horse's back and galloped forward.Seeing this, the Xiongnu soldiers quickly followed.

As night fell, the camp had already been built unconsciously.In the big tent of the Chinese army, the Youxian King of the Huns seemed a little puzzled, and then he took a bottle of wine and drank it down.

The Chinese and military officials in the tent looked at each other when they saw this, and they also picked up the wine bottles to drink at the same time.It stands to reason that the victory of the weak against the strong and the elimination of Donghu's main force in the central grassland should be celebrated, but the atmosphere in the tent at this time seems a little weird.

"King Xian and our army smashed Donghu, why didn't you order the tribal defenders to open the city gate, and let me wait in and repair it?".A military commander stood up from his seat, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu was silent, and all the civil and military officials immediately began to discuss.

"The soldiers and horses on the opposite side are obviously from our clan, why don't they open the city gate?"

"The two armies attacked Donghu soldiers and horses, and when they saw the overall situation was settled, they immediately withdrew. Why did they stick to the tribe?".

"Could it be that they don't know our identity."

"Wang Qi is on the battlefield, so how could he not know it?"

"How do you feel that there may be some problems in this?"

King Youxian of the Xiongnu put the wine bottle on the case table, and glanced at the people in the tent: "At first when I received the bamboo slips, I thought that the soldiers and horses who attacked the large Donghu tribe might be done by Lou Fan and Linhu. After annihilating the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Hu, he took down the tribe in front of him with the power of a great victory. However, this time, the king found out that he was from the same clan, which made people very puzzled."

"It stands to reason that when people of our clan see Wang Qi here, even if they don't come out to meet him, they should open the city gate and let our army enter to recuperate. However, when we look at the defenders in the tribe in front, we don't have the slightest intention of this."A civil servant stood up from his seat and also asked his doubts.

The Youxian King of the Huns looked at Wenchen: "That's why this king ordered the troops to withdraw and retreat ten miles to set up camp."

"Why should the virtuous king be worried? When he is repairing tonight and leading the army tomorrow, he will send a soldier with the king's order to find out. If they have a different heart, it will not be too late to attack with the army."The civil servant proposed to King Youxian.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu nodded slightly: "Tonight, everyone, take a good rest, and tomorrow I will go with this king to find out."

"Follow orders".All civil and military officials stood up from their seats, bowed to King Youxian of the Huns, and then filed out.

A mansion of a large Donghu tribe, Han Xin looked at the map and asked Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai on both sides: "How many soldiers and horses are there in our army at this time?"

"At the time of departure, there was a mighty 30 army, and more than half of our army was lost in repeated battles. At this time, there were still 15 soldiers ready to fight."Fan Kuai reported to Han Xin.

Zhang Liang was not surprised by this news, but was worried about another thing: "After the Donghu people were defeated, the generals of the Xiongnu did not immediately let our army open the city gate, but retreated ten miles. doubts".

"The Xiongnu are already exhausted from galloping all the way, and today's battle is added. If they came to attack directly, I might be secretly happy in my heart. But I didn't expect them to retreat ten miles to recuperate. It seems difficult to deal with."Han Xin looked at the map and frowned gradually, hoping that Zhou Bo's subordinates and the lord could hurry up, and don't let the whole plan fall short at this most critical moment.

Fan Kui looked at the frowns on the faces of the two, and smiled indifferently: "I want to do so much, but all the tricks are useless now. It's time to play the banner of our Seoul and have a head-to-head duel with them."

"The Flag of Seoul".Zhang Liang and Han Xin looked at each other, and there was a glimmer of expectation in their eyes.

When the sound of footsteps came, a soldier bowed to the three of them: "To the general, our army has found out that the Huns' army is no less than 35."

"Is there any news from Zhou Bo's headquarters and Seoul?"Han Xin asked the soldiers.

The soldier shook his head slightly: "No news."

"Well, step back."After Han Xin got the news he wanted to know, he let the soldiers leave directly.

The soldier bowed again, turned and walked outside.

Zhang Liang watched the soldiers walk away, and smiled at Fan Kuai: "General Fan, have you prepared our army's flag?".

"The last general has long wanted to change the flag, so how could he not be ready."Fan Kui heard what Zhang Liang meant, and a trace of joy spread in his heart.After waiting for so long, I can finally reveal my identity to the grassland surrounded by enemies.

Han Xin looked at the two of them: "Tomorrow, we will unfurl our banner in Seoul, stick to the tribal garrison, and buy time for the lord and Zhou Bo's troops."

"promise".Zhang Liang and Fan Kui bowed to Han Xin and bowed to accept the order.

The next day, King Youxian of the Huns came to the tribe's camp with a mighty army, and stopped one mile away from the arrow's range.

A Hun cavalry quickly rushed to the city gate, and then the loud voice gradually diffused: "Youxian King's military order, order this tribal leader to open the city gate immediately, and welcome our army to enter and repair."

As soon as the words fell, an arrow shot from the city wall.The horse immediately hit the arrow and neighed immediately, and the cavalry was thrown off the horse.Immediately afterwards, the banners of the Xiongnu servant army on the city wall were pulled out, and large red flags with Chinese characters were planted up, fluttering against the cold wind.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu was furious when he saw the banner of the Xiongnu thrown down from the city wall: "The former army is attacking, and I will take down these traitors for this king."

"Follow orders".A general bowed quickly, and then ran behind Youxian King.

Not long after, a huge phalanx ran out from behind King Youxian of the Huns.It rushed over like a tide, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded across the sky in an instant.

Fan Kuai on the city wall looked at the Huns soldiers coming, and then raised his hand.The soldiers on the city wall took out an arrow one after another, and the bow opened the full moon.

Put your hand down, and the arrow leaves the string.The sky darkened suddenly, and then it fell like raindrops, and a Hun fell in a pool of blood.

The Youxian King of the Huns looked at the scene of the battle ahead, and gradually frowned: "The order goes on, and the left and right armies stormed the south and north gates."

"Follow orders".The two generals took the order, and then ran to the rear.Immediately afterwards, two huge phalanxes appeared from behind, rushing directly towards the south and north city gates.

Time passed unconsciously, and both sides fell into anxiety.At this time, a Hun cavalry came galloping on his horse, and when he saw King Youxian, he quickly got off his horse and said, "I report to King Youxian that there is no water in the river, obviously it was let dry early."

"Send the order to withdraw the troops, and return to the camp to make a long-term plan."Listening to the report of the cavalry, he looked at the battlefield in front of him.Knowing that it would be useless to continue fighting like this, King Youxian of the Huns immediately ordered to withdraw his troops.

"Lead the order".As soon as the voice fell, the soldier turned and walked back, and the sound of Mingjin sounded after a while.Hun soldiers rushed to the rear camp like a tide.
