Chapter 339: Xiang Bo’s Death, Overlord Fighting Julu(1/2)
That night, the morale of the coalition troops defending the city was high.
The victory of several days made everyone feel that the Qin army, which originally made them feel feared, was not that scary.
As generals from various countries on the victorious side, they ordered rewards to the army.
Even though it was already dark, the entire Dingtao City was still brightly lit and the sound of people was buzzing.
Soldiers from the bottom gathered in the city or celebrated in the camp.
The way the generals celebrated was naturally much better than the soldiers.
At this time, Xiang Bo sat in the main seat in the lobby of Dingtao County, and the other generals sat in turn.
In the middle of the hall, there was a group of exposed dancers dancing gracefully.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, generals from all sides greeted each other.
"Come on, brothers, let's respect the General together, wishing the General a victory and strengthen the momentum of our rebel army!" Ying Bu looked around and said loudly.
"Hahaha, yes!" Lu Chen smiled and picked up the wine glass to congratulate Xiang Bo: "The achievements of even victory belong to the General, let's respect the General together!"
The rest of the people agreed: "Jing General!"
"The General is mighty!"
Flashes of compliments rang in Xiang Bo's ears.
The smile on Xiang Bo's face became stronger and stronger. He stood up and raised his glass and said, "Xiang Bo is not talented, I hope to work together with all the generals to destroy the tyrannical Qin!"
"Okay! Destroy the tyrant Qin! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
As everyone drank the wine in the glass together, a new round of congratulations began again.
A celebration banquet lasted for more than two hours.
Just as everyone was about to end the show, a shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Report—"
"Um?"
When Xiang Bo heard the shout, he frowned and shouted unhappily: "Come in!"
Soon, Jiang Chao hurried in and bowed to Xiang Bo, "Report to General! A team of Qin troops are attacking our army's granary!"
"What!?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly looked at Xiang Bo.
Xiang Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked without changing his face: "How many troops did the other party attack our army's granary at night?"
"According to the scouts, there are about a thousand cavalry!"
Hearing Jiang Chao's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Chen said with some disdain: "Even a thousand cavalry dares to attack our army's granary?"
"Yes! This Qin army doesn't take us seriously!"
"General, I will send me two thousand cavalrymen to see if I kill him, I will not leave any armor!"
"No! General, I will send me a thousand cavalry, and I will let them go without a return!"
"What a thousand two thousand, it's enough to plough me five hundred horses!"
Seeing everyone asking for battle, Xiang Bo was silent, Fan Zeng, who was beside him, suddenly spoke: "The Qin army attacked our army's granary at night. I think it was to test our army's background. You don't have to deal with them, just expel them!"
"Mr. Fan, our army has hundreds of thousands of troops. Why are you afraid of facing a thousand cavalry?" General Pu looked at Fan Zeng in confusion.
Fan Zeng glanced at him, turned to Xiang Bo and said, "General, Zhang Han should be surprised by the use of troops, be careful of being trapped!"
"Um."
Xiang Boehn said, "What Mr. Fan said is reasonable, and Xiang also thinks this matter is not simple."
As he said that, he looked around everyone and continued, "We are sticking to Dingtao, with the purpose of exploring the enemy's virtuality and reality. Now the situation is unclear, so it's better to be careful!"
"Then how should we deal with these thousand cavalry?" Lu Chen frowned and asked.
Xiang Bo pondered for a moment and said coldly: "You will take five thousand people to stay near the granary and wait for your hard work. If they dare to attack the granary, kill me hard!"
"promise!"
Lu Chen Yingnuo said, then turned around and rushed out of the hall.
Not long after, he rushed back and bowed to Xiang Bo: "Report to the General, the Qin army that attacked the camp ran away!"
"Running?"
Xiang Bo was stunned and everyone looked at each other.
After a moment, Fan Zeng frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"I just assembled a large army to rush to the granary. Seeing that I was a large number of people, the Qin army turned around and fled in a hurry!" Lu Chen said with a strange look on his face.
"Hahaha! I am so brave as a Qin army, so it's so unbearable!"
"Yes! I ran away before the fight started!"
"I think I'm afraid of being beaten by the general, so I dare not fight head-on with us! The general is mighty!"
"The General is mighty!"
When Xiang Bo heard everyone's aloud echo, he laughed.
Fan Zeng, who was beside him, opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped.
That's it, the celebration banquet that should have ended became lively again.
It was not until the morning of the next day that the generals slowly left the hall.
I thought the Qin army would come to challenge the coalition forces, but after waiting for a few days, I couldn't wait for the Qin army for a long time.
Everyone thought the Qin army was afraid, so they were already discussing to take the initiative to attack the Qin army camp.
But just as everyone was about to set out the camp and march, the Qin army came to challenge again.
This time, the number of people brought more than the last time, with more than 20,000 people.
The first person to go out of the city to fight was naturally Xiang Bo.
This time, it seemed that after a hard battle, Xiang Bo barely won.
However, due to the large number of Qin troops, Xiang Bo did not order a pursuit.
Because Xiang Bo was also worried that the other party was a trick to lure the enemy.
But when the scout came back to report that the other party had not ambushed, Xiang Bo felt a little regretful that he did not order the pursuit.
A few days later, a similar scene happened again.
However, the number of people this time is more than the last time, with a total of 40,000 people.
According to the scout's report, Zhang Han personally commanded the 40,000 army this time, preparing to capture Dingtao.
Zhang Han ended up in person. Could it be that he used himself as bait?
This is simply impossible!
Moreover, this time, Xiang Bo doesn't need to take the lead.
With the previous several victories, the coalition forces are no longer afraid of the Qin army.
Lu Chen, General Pu and others were preparing to succeed in the battle, eat up these Qin troops, divide their arms and food and grass.
So, when Zhang Han led the 40,000 troops to challenge the battle, hundreds of thousands of coalition forces in Dingtao City left the city, intending to wipe out the Qin army.
But Fan Zeng expressed some concerns about this kind of bet that would hold back everything.
So I found Xiang Bo and dissuaded him to be cautious.
However, Xiang Bo disagreed and even sarcastically said a few words to Fan Zeng.
Although he respected Fan Zeng, his successive mishaps made him very irritable, and even felt that Fan Zeng was cautious and could not accomplish any major events.
Therefore, we abandon Fan Zeng's suggestions and resolutely leave the city to meet the enemy.
...........
On the other hand, in the Qin army formation, Zhang Han's face was as calm as ever, as if the battle in front of him had long been used to him.
But that's the case.
This period of attack allowed him to hone all the military tactics and tactics he learned.
A good general was fought in wars. Zhang Han fought no fewer than the generals of the six countries during this period, so he was very calm when facing the generals of the six countries.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of coalition forces occupied all areas outside Dingtao City. With the victory of the previous wars, all coalition forces felt that this battle was sure to win.
There was no more panic or fear at the beginning.
Both the generals and soldiers looked eager to try. It seemed that the next battle was not a war, but a military merit harvesting match. Whoever cuts more heads will have the most contributions.
Three days ago, Niu Erge, who treated his comrades as a meat shield, was promoted to the garrison leader because of his military merits. He had his own mount and brand new armor and weapons.
Today, Niu Erge brought a group of people and stood at the forefront, as if he was afraid that others would steal their credit, so he was ready to go.
