Chapter 1384: Han Banner World (Seventy-Four) No Way Out

Tai'an County.

Tan Feng slowly tore the report he had just received into shreds, and then tore into shreds. He raised his hand to sweep away the paper, and the paper shreds flew throughout the room, like snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, you didn't listen to my advice, and you ended up like this." Tan Feng looked up to the sky and sighed in despair. Although Zhou Yu parted ways with him after he killed King Yan Ji Ling and had no contact with him for many years, Tan Feng believed that he had no regrets for Zhou Yu. On the contrary, if he had not made a decisive decision and killed Ji Ling, now he and Zhou Yu is probably already a pile of bones.

Although Zhou Yu and him had cut off their friendship, Tan Feng still regarded Zhou Yu as his only remaining friend deep down in his heart. Zhou Yu was the kind of extremely upright person, and he believed that things = pigs = Pig=island=novel=www=zhuua=love will go on forever. He is also the person Tan Feng wants to believe because he will not betray himself.

"General Tan!" Sima Yan stepped through the door, "The army has almost finished mopping up Tai'an. All the food, property, and young men that can be taken away have been prepared."

Tan Feng nodded, "It's time for us to leave. The Han cavalry unit Gu Li has already appeared in Tai'an, and Chen Bin's unit has also moved towards Tai'an from Yingchuan. We can't stay here any longer. Yin Cuo Is there any news?"

"Yin Cuo sent people back to say that there is no defense on the Jiaocheng side of the Chu State. Jiaocheng is only defended by about 3,000 local guards. General Yin has sent about 500 elites to sneak into Jiaocheng. Once we attack the city, We can immediately cooperate with each other and capture Jiaocheng," Sima Yan said.

"Jiaocheng is located in a dangerous location. If we control Jiaocheng, we can prevent the Han army from attacking from the north and enter the hinterland of the Chu people from the south. It is now a good place for us to recuperate. Where to go, let's watch the situation in the world before making plans." Tan Feng said.

Sima Yan was silent for a moment, "General, we have always had good relations with the Chu people. Now if we take Jiaocheng without declaring a war, will we anger the Chu people? Then we will be attacked from both sides. And although Jiaocheng is dangerous, But the output is not rich, and even Jiaocheng alone is not enough to feed our tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that we have captured so many strong men this time? "

Tan Feng looked at Sima Yan: "Sima, where do you think we can feed our tens of thousands of troops now? No more. Yingchuan can feed us, but we have lost it. Wulong Tai'an can feed us, but we can't defend it. In the future, , we can no longer support ourselves.”

"What to do next?"

"Sima, we have soldiers in our hands. Why did I order to rob Wulong and order Tai'an to be looted to the sky? Because we have to hold on for at least one year. During this year, we may have to fight with the Chu people. The Han people will fight, but as long as we persist, we will have bargaining chips. Sima, do you understand now why I have to bring so many strong men with me?

The army also needs to be replenished. Tan Feng sighed.

"One year! No matter Han people or Chu people, for us, they are two giants. It's hard to say whether we can survive for a year!" Sima Yan shook his head.

"The number of one year is just my worst plan. The two countries Han and Chu are also enemies. It is not very likely that they will work together to attack us. What is more likely is that if one side comes to attack, the other side will But we have to work hard to destroy it, this is our chance of survival! And the terrain of Jiaocheng is dangerous, and we have tens of thousands of troops at hand, so holding it is not a problem. "

"General, I see it clearly. From now on, we will have to balance both sides and seek benefits from both sides." Sima Yan nodded repeatedly, "General, if Lu Chao comes to see us in the future, how will we deal with it?"

"There's nothing wrong with taking advantage." Tan Feng smiled bitterly, "From now on, let's be the kings of the mountain in Jiaocheng."

Sima Yan also smiled bitterly, "I really can't believe that Lu Chao captured Xianyang so quickly. Now that the Xuanyi Guards have surrendered to him, Lu Chao's strength has greatly increased. In the Qin Kingdom, Zhou Yu's dynasty is in danger, and Bai Qi is thousands of mountains away." Wan Shui, when Lu Chao frees his hands, Bai Qi will either surrender or be destroyed. When Lu Chao raised his troops, I never imagined that Lu Chao would win in less than two months. General, you. How did you know that Lu Chao would win in the first place?”

"Lu Chao is not the kind of person who just throws his way alone." Tan Feng said: "When he launched his troops brazenly, I was almost certain that he was sure of victory. But after thinking about it, his only chance of victory should be There is a co-conspirator with great power in Xianyang City, but I never thought that it would end in such a way. I just pitied General Zhou Yu and became their scapegoat. The world is so big, Zhou Yu is afraid that he has nowhere to go. ”

"Does the general know who that helper is now? I'm still in the dark and can't guess!"

"Now that things have come to this, if there is anything we can't guess, it must be Mingtai." Tan Feng sneered and said, "The king is also blind. The commander of Heibingtai is more trusted by the king than Xuanyiwei. The leader of the secret army is actually an accomplice of the rebels, which is really laughable.”

"How could it be Mingtai?" Sima Yan said in surprise. "As far as I know, Mingtai has been in the king's house since he was a child. They almost grew up together and have a deep relationship. Mingtai is highly trusted by the king. As soon as the king ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to replace Zhongli. Mr. Zhong put Mingtai in power, how could he be a spy? "

"Replacing Mr. Zhonghou has already doomed the king's failure. Who else but Mingtai can do this plot to steal Zhou Yu? There is chaos in Xianyang. If the thirty thousand Xuanyi guards react properly, as for the Abandoning the city and fleeing? If Xuanyi Wei fought to the death, and after Zhou Yu escaped from Xianyang, in order to prove his innocence, he would definitely lead his army to attack Lu Chao. The whole war would have turned around, but Xuanyi Wei just escaped. . Thirty thousand Xuanyi Guards, the strongest armed force in the Qin State!" Tan Feng laughed loudly: "Here, Ying Zhun, the posthumous son of some great prince, was crowned king, and Ying Ji, the eldest son of the great prince over there, burst into laughter. He was hit by a stray arrow and died. Sima Yan, if Mingtai was not a spy and he fled with his troops, Gongzi Ji should be the one he tried to protect. This was the foundation of his counterattack. Can you imagine Gongzi under the protection of heavy troops? Ji actually died in a stray arrow?"

"What the general said does make sense." Sima Yan was speechless.

"Although I don't know why Mingtai helped Lu Chao, I am convinced that Mingtai is the spy." Tan Feng sneered and said: "Sima, send a few people to the south to see if you can reach General Zhou and let him go Let me come here!”

"General, although General Zhou is in dire straits now, he still has tens of thousands of capable troops in his hands. Although the Chu people have captured most of the southern land of Qin, Tan Wei is still insisting in Sanchuan County. As long as he returns to Sanchuan County, General Zhou will have people We have territory, and Lu Chao wants to repel the Chu people and regain the lost territory, but he is afraid that he will still have to win over him. How can he come to us? It seems that General Zhou is in a much better situation than us, but the general sent someone to contact Zhou. The general is also a good thing. The general and him are brothers and friends. If they can unite and support each other, it will be a good thing. "

"If this is really the case, that's fine, but with Zhou Yu's temperament, I'm afraid he can't do it, and how can Lu Chao tolerate him returning to Sanchuan County to become his enemy? Furthermore, with the Chu people It is not certain that Sanchuan County will be able to hold on to the current offensive." Tan Feng shook his head and said, "Send a few suitable people. If Zhou Yu can return to Sanchuan, we will contact him to provide mutual assistance. If he is in trouble, I think. Fazi rescues him, Zhou Yu is a rare warrior, if our brothers can join forces again, life may be easier!"

"Yes, General, I'll do it right away."

Watching Sima Yan go out, Tan Feng sighed softly, Brother Zhou, I hope you can hold on.

In the south of Chu State, in Sanchuan County, Tan Wei stood at the top of the city. His armor was stained with blood and damaged everywhere. The Chu State's army of 200,000 people suddenly moved out when Lu Chao launched a mutiny. After Zhou Yu led King Qin's army to leave, he With lightning speed, they captured most of the land in the southern part of the Qin State. All Tan Wei could do was to shrink all his troops and defend the core city of Sanchuan County in the south. If the city of Sanchuan County is lost, it will represent the entire south. fell into the hands of the Chu people.

"General Tan, they are about to attack again. Go down and hide for a while." Another soldier took Tan Wei's arm and said loudly. In the distance, war drums were beating in the Chu army camp, and new weapons were heard. The catapults were rolled out, but now these catapults were throwing explosive charges instead of stone bombs. When Mao Wei was kidnapped, workshops were finally set up all over the city on the Chu-Qin border. Each side sent apprentices to learn how to prepare explosives. This also made both sides have no shortage of gunpowder weapons. During this time, the Chu people attacked the south. Gunpowder weapons were used in large quantities, which is why Tan Wei was able to defend Sanchuan County with only 5,000 men. Otherwise, with nearly seven or eight times the Chu army's strength compared to Tan Wei, Sanchuan County would have been captured long ago. But now, Tan Wei has reached the end of his rope. Gunpowder weapons are sharp in defending the city, but the siege is also powerful. After the fight, Tan Wei has less than a thousand men and horses left in his hands. The rest are in Sanchuan County. A temporary recruit.

"Everyone hide Luo, pack our weapons, let them show off their power for a while, and then blow them up when they attack the city." Tan Wei shouted angrily.

Explosive packets were thrown into the sky by catapults and landed on the county city. The city head had already been blown to pieces. Now many places are temporarily built with sandbags, and the soldiers hide behind the sandbag barriers. Avoid the bombardment.

After several rounds of bombardment, the war drums beat again, and the Chu army pushed siege chariots, Meng rushed chariots, and carried ladders, swarming over. These days, the Chu army has tried all kinds of tricks to capture Sanchuan County, but Tan Wei is a veteran on the battlefield, and his defense is impeccable. In the end, he can only rely on these methods to attack Sanchuan County with a lot of lives. . (To be continued.)
