"General, the city of Changshe is ahead of us. According to reports from scouts, Cao Shen, a powerful general under Yang Lin, will lead troops to garrison this city." Zhang Ping reported while looking at the city that was vaguely visible in the distance.

Zhang Han nodded. He was wearing black armor and was calm and collected. Behind him, the 20,000 Qin troops were in strict discipline and in order. At a glance, you could tell that they were elite troops. "This battle begins with Cao Shen."

"The city's defenders, Cao Shen and deputy general Zhou Bo, have three thousand defenders and sufficient food and grass. General, if we attack by force, it will take half a day." Zhang Ping started to analyze again.

"The last general suggested that our army rest and recuperate temporarily. After all, the soldiers are very tired after traveling a long distance." Another general suggested.

Zhang Han did not speak when he heard the sound, but thought carefully, and then ordered: "Liu Lieutenant, I ordered you to lead five thousand troops and test the city's defense first. Remember, you only need to test,

There is no need for a large-scale attack. Zhang Ping, ordered the entire army to camp in place." Obviously, Zhang Han was very cautious. He did not underestimate Cao Shen. Even though he believed that Cao Shen could not stop his 20,000 elite Qin army, he was still extra cautious.

This is how a famous general uses his troops. A lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength.

"No!" Zhang Ping and Lieutenant Li each accepted their orders and left.

On the Changshe City, looking at the dark Qin army, Cao Shen felt solemn, and all the Pei soldiers held their breaths. The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and this battle was destined to become very tragic. But Cao Shen never thought

He fled from the abandoned city, because behind him was the safety and stability of Yingchuan County, and what he wanted to protect was his lord, so how could he escape in the face of battle?

The people in the city also felt the depression before the war. The streets were obviously much deserted, some shops were closed, and pedestrians were in a hurry. Occasionally, one could see groups of soldiers rushing towards the tower, and there were many soldiers.

Move rolling stones and huge trees, or repair city towers and gates.

The entire Pei army is making final preparations before the war. They are not afraid at all. Some of these soldiers have followed Yang Lin from Peixian County, and some are newly recruited from Yingchuan County. But now they can unite as one. Pei County veterans naturally

Needless to say, the new soldiers also had the courage to kill the enemy. They also felt the hearts of the people in the county. Now they were not fighting for Yang Lin, but for their own fathers and fellow villagers.

"Humph, this chapter is really here. I'll cut off this old boy's head later and offer it to the lord." Li Ba, who was standing next to Cao Shen with a strong back and a strong back, said angrily. As early as yesterday, he was hiding under the cover of night.

He quietly led his troops into Changshe. Now the defenders in the city were not three thousand, but five thousand, of which two thousand were elites brought by Li Ba.

Of course, Zhang Han didn't know this. As an ambush, Cao Shen did not let the two thousand elites board the tower prematurely. Instead, he kept resting in the city, waiting for Zhang Han's attack to enter its climax before launching this surprise attack again.

Two thousand elites entered the city. Even if the people in the city knew about the ambush, they would not be able to inform Zhang Han. After all, the entire city is currently under martial law. Let alone a person, even a bird cannot be under the surveillance of Pei Jun.

Go down and deliver the letter.

Cao Shen looked at Li Ba and shook his head helplessly. He knew Li Ba's character, so he didn't criticize him too much. Instead, he said: "Don't worry, please be patient for two days and wait until the critical moment to receive two thousand

The best come out."

Although Li Ba said that, he also understood what Cao Shen meant. He nodded, looked fiercely at the Qin army that was slowly advancing outside the city, and said: "Forget it, I will go down first. If I can't hold it,

Immediately order someone to come find me." After saying that, he hurried away with two personal guards, and then stationed in the city with two thousand elites.

"General, the Qin army is obviously testing the strength of our army." Looking at the five thousand Qin army outside the city, Zhou Bo felt a little gloomy.

"Yes!" Cao Shen was also even more worried. It is not difficult to see that Zhang Han is very cautious. "This Zhang Han is indeed a tough nut to crack. Zhou Bo, have you sent the defenders on both wings to rush for reinforcements?"

The advantage of Han Xin's double arch defense is that it can quickly get support from other cities. At this time, hearing Cao Shen's question, Zhou Bo immediately replied: "Xia Houying and Yong Chi have already led their troops, and Li Ran from behind has also arrived.

Additional troops, about three thousand soldiers and horses came day and night. In the direction of Xiangcheng, Chen Sheng also ordered Zhao Ping, and the military minister led three thousand troops to rush to reinforcements. If our army holds out for three days, Zhang Han will definitely be surrounded."

"Three days." Cao Shen nodded lightly. Three days is not long or short. "Chen Sheng's rush for reinforcements is a bit far away. Yong Chi and Xia Houying should arrive within two days, and Li Ran should be faster.

Some, after all, there is no need to worry about harassment from the Qin army in the rear."

Looking at the clamoring Qin army outside the city, Cao Shen said again: "A mere five thousand Qin troops will never dare to risk attacking the city. Even if it is just a test, our army will attack them severely to let these Qin troops know how powerful our Pei army is."

."

Zhou Bo also suppressed his fighting spirit, nodded his head, and asked for orders: "The last general is willing to lead a thousand troops out of the city to fight."

Hearing this, Cao Shen agreed and ordered: "Don't be reckless, just test. These Qin troops must be very tired. Even if they are elite, they will not be able to exert their normal combat power."

"No!" Zhou Bo immediately accepted the order, immediately ordered a thousand soldiers, opened the east city gate, wearing silver armor, holding a sword, and hanging on his horse was a long bow and a pot of arrows.

Lieutenant Li was leading the troops to advance slowly. His mission was not to storm Changshe City, but to test the strength of Pei's army. At this moment, the gate of Changshe City suddenly opened, and a man and a horse rushed out first. This man's armor was shining.

, he was so high-spirited that his shirt fluttered in the wind behind him, and then more than a thousand soldiers poured out from the city.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Li was quite surprised. He did not expect that the defenders of Changshe were so bold. Facing five thousand elite Qin troops, they dared to go out of the city to fight. He had already made up his mind. Since it was a military achievement that came to his door, naturally,

It was to capture. Lieutenant Li also knew that his soldiers were tired, but his 5,000 troops were still no match for the 1,000 troops on the opposite side. It was difficult to capture the city tower, but he was quite confident in a head-on confrontation.

"Rebels, tell us your name. I will not kill unknown people." Lieutenant Li shouted and pointed his sword at Zhou Bo in front of him.

Hearing this, Zhou Bo laughed loudly, and also shouted loudly: "I am Zhou Bo, and I will die quickly."

"Zhou Bo?" Lieutenant Li was overjoyed. He was actually the deputy general of the Changshe garrison. If he were to capture or kill him, his military exploits would be absolutely great. With the temptation of such military exploits, Captain Li struggled for a moment in his heart. Of course, he remembered Zhang.

Han's order, but the situation is different now. He has absolute confidence that he can defeat the Pei army in front of him.
