For a frontal defence, Zhang Liang still has some confidence that
There were so many manpower and implements, and there was all that oil, that couldn’t even be extinguished by water.
As long as the Qin army is crippled, they will have more time to escape and develop.
And they can also relieve themselves of their hatred!
It’s just that he didn’t relax so easily like that, and quickly continued, saying that
“Probe again, make sure to confirm the number of Qin troops.”
The opposite side is now all cavalry it is impossible not to be on guard.
The scouts quickly led the order to leave and headed in the direction of the Qin army.
At this time, at the border of Great Qin and the Western Region, Zhou Bo was leading a group of Qin troops to move forward slowly, when a Qin army scout arrived at his heels and reported.
“General, our army has made contact with the enemy scout, what should we do?”
This time, they came out with just five thousand men, and everyone knew they were baiting the enemy.
So it was only natural to be a little more vigilant towards the enemy scouts.
Zhou Bo returned at this time blandly, and
“What you normally do, do this time, don’t make any difference.”
“Yes, General.”
The scout quickly led the order and left.
At this time, a general next to Zhou Bo said.
“General, for this army raid, shouldn’t we do our best to pounce on the other side’s scouts, cover the battlefield, and provide cover for the army?”
Zhou Bo looked at the other party, the other party is called Li Shang, originally he was with Lv and the others, the direct line of the Crown Prince, the
Being left behind to help him, he also had some talent, so he smiled and said back, the
“Our army is holding the other side’s main force for the army this time, just don’t show any abnormality, otherwise the defence will be too harsh, and it will be easy to cause the other side’s vigilance.”
Li Shang nodded with some seeming understanding, but quickly asked that
“But if we don’t cover the battlefield, I’m afraid that our nearly 20,000 cavalrymen can’t smoothly enter the interior of the Western Region.”
The Western Region is indeed very large, but wanting 20,000 cavalry to go in so silently is still difficult. The Western Region is indeed very large, but wanting 20,000 cavalry to go in so silently is still difficult.
Hearing this, Zhou Bo nodded his head with a few moments of appreciation and said.
“Not bad, you are extremely thoughtful.”
“This general will naturally create an opportunity for the army, and once our army is in the city, we will attack the city and draw all the surrounding manpower over.”
“At that time, it will be the opportunity for the army to infiltrate the interior of the Western Region.”
Li Shang, however, directly froze in his tracks.
Attacking the city could certainly draw all the attention of the other side, but the problem was that the
Li Shang couldn’t help but say at this time that
“General, there are only 5,000 men in my camp, and 4,000 of them are folk who came from the levied herdsmen, even if there is some combat power, but in terms of attacking the city, I’m afraid that it’s just a matter of going to die.”
Under Zhao Lang’s leadership, their manpower would die even if they were to die.
This kind of pure baiting of the enemy to send them to their deaths was also somewhat unacceptable to him.
Zhou Bo said coldly at this time, however.
“How can you fight a war without dying, or do you want the raiding party to be discovered, do you know the consequences of a failed raid? That will only kill more people! ”
“And letting these herders sacrifice for Great Qin is not a bad thing for them either.”
Dying in battle for the country, the descendants of these people will be able to directly enter within the Great Wall.
Hearing this, Li Shang had nothing to say.
Their team, all of whom had followed Han Xin and Lu on the raid, were in greater danger.
If he had to choose, he would have chosen to go and sacrifice these herders, as well.
He can tell the difference between close and distant.
So he sighed and said.
“What the general said is true.”
Seeing that the other party had figured it out, Zhou Bo said.
“Pass the order down, tell the generals to get ready.”
Li Shang immediately led the order.
A few days later, the Qin army had arrived twenty miles in front of the city where Liu Bang was, this distance was already very close. A few days later, the Qin army had arrived twenty miles in front of the city where Liu Bang was, this distance was already very close.
If the cavalry attacked, they could arrive almost instantly!
Liu Bang stood on the city wall, looking at the direction where the Qin army was, his face couldn’t help but be a little worried, the
Although he had already prepared in his mind, he was still a bit nervous when he really saw the Qin army arrive in front of him, the
He still remembers the Qin army’s success in destroying the six kingdoms and levelling the Xiong Nu.
“Ah Liang, the Qin army is stationed so close, it seems to be emboldened.”
Liu Bang said to Zhang Liang next to him at this time.
Zhang Liang frowned as he also looked at the direction of the Qin army and quickly said.
“The Qin army has always been flamboyant, it’s normal to behave like this yet.”
“However, I still have some doubts in my mind.”
“It always feels like something is wrong.”
Liu Bang was shocked to hear that, and quickly asked.
“Where is it wrong? ”
For this matter he is still very attentive, after all, it is related to his own life and family.
Zhang Liang slightly thought for a moment and returned to.
“Although the scouts reported that the number of flags and tents are correct, but they brought too few horses. ”
“Nowadays, the Qin army is not short of horses, and it should be easy to achieve two horses for one person, but right now the other side is just over 10,000 horses, which is a bit too few.”
Hearing this Liu Bang fell, relaxed a bit and returned to.
“A Liang are you overthinking it, it’s good that the Qin army is not short of yards, but what is the use of them bringing so many yards over? ”
“Could it be to attack the city on horseback? ”
“If they wanted to raid our army, they wouldn’t have made such a big deal out of it. ”
Zhang Liang nodded as he listened, what the other party said still made sense as well, but he still quickly said.
“No matter what, we have to fight with the other party, so that we can understand the situation most directly. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bang revealed a hint of hidden fear, the difference between them and the generals of the Qin army was just too much, the
“A Liang would it be better to defend the city. ” “A Liang should either defend the city better. ”
Zhang Liang advised at this time.
“Duke Pei, this big battle is crucial for us, we must find out the reality of the Qin army. ”
“Moreover, Han Xin is a man who uses his army like a god, if we don’t force him into a frontal confrontation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to last more than two months. ”
Liu Bang had no choice but to nod his head and
“Brother Liang, I will listen to you in this matter. ”
Zhang Liang immediately and quickly said.
“Men, pass the order to send someone to the front of the Qin army camp early tomorrow morning to invite a battle! ”
He knew that the Qin army had always been arrogant and proud, even the ordinary Qin merchant caravans did not put the western countries in their eyes, and his own provocative behaviour like this was bound to enrage those people, the
Definitely will answer the battle, if the other party does not answer the battle, then it means that there must be a problem in it!
If these people dared to go deep into the Western Regions alone and raid various cities, he had also already prepared a response, and Senator Cao would give these people a profound lesson.
So no matter what the outcome was, he would make the right decision, based on the information he had received.
This was his scheming!
He, Zhang Liang, is no worse than Han Xin!
Early the next morning, Zhang Liang went to the city wall in his armour and sword.
With his order, a team of messengers headed towards the Qin army camp with his invitation to war.
But before the messengers could go too far, they suddenly turned back.
Zhang Liang frowned as he watched, and was about to ask what was going on.
The messengers below shouted.
“Open the city gates, the Qin army is attacking! The Qin army is attacking! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang’s face changed slightly.
