It was already getting late, so they all ordered their troops to retreat. The people on the Taizhou side were still camped outside the city, and there were people on the city walls waiting in full formation.
The men and horses of 'Fan Hanzhong' set up camp five miles outside the city.
After this battle, although they had the upper hand against Taizhou's troops, they could not even get close to the city gate.
Let alone conquering the city.
"Sir, this is not the way to go. If we fight head-on, we will not have enough people at all, and we have to attack the city, and we have not prepared siege ladders in advance."
"Yes, sir, we have suffered casualties of three to four thousand troops today. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. Do you want to continue to mobilize some troops from various counties?"
"Sir, in my opinion, we can have a sneak attack tonight. Even if we don't attack them by surprise, we still have to be prepared for their sneak attacks!"
Several generals said to 'Fan Hanzhong'.
"Sneak attack?"
"right!"
"Sneak attack on them! We can't wait passively, we have to take the initiative!"
‘Fan Hanzhong’ nodded.
"We don't have much time. They have Beihai City at their back, so there is no need to worry about food and grass supplies. However, we only have two days of food rations left. If we can't make a quick decision, we will be defeated by then."
"At midnight tonight, the whole army will charge. Come on me. Even if they knew we were coming to attack at night, they would never think that we would send out the whole army!"
"Use the darkness to kill the people outside the city first!"
‘Fan Hanzhong’ said to everyone.
When he was imitating Fan Hanzhong, Zhu Yue brought him a lot of Fan Hanzhong's handwriting and asked him to copy it, many of which were records of tactics.
He also learned a lot, although it was only at the stage of talking on paper.
"yes!"
"I'll go back and make arrangements immediately!"
Everyone raised their hands and said.
at the same time.
On the wall of Beihai City, Zhang Teng and others were also looking at the camp of 'Fan Hanzhong' and others from a distance.
Ge Hong was almost hacked to death in the melee just now.
He was kidnapped and dragged out, so he had no choice but to run away in embarrassment. Although he escaped back, he was stabbed five or six times.
He was temporarily locked up to recuperate.
"It's strange. Is Fan Hanzhong such a reckless person?"
"You dare to attack with only more than 20,000 troops? Who gave him the courage?"
"Is there any plan?"
Zhang Teng frowned and thought, the situation during the day was a bit strange. Fan Hanzhong's men and horses are indeed strong, this can be seen.
If it were to be a head-on battle, they might not be the opponents of more than 20,000 people.
But now they own Beihai City.
No matter how powerful you are, how can you fight if you don't even have a siege ladder?
Is it possible to climb up like a monkey?
He, Fan Hanzhong, is definitely not such a person. If he does anything unreasonable, there must be something fishy!
The more this happens, the more uneasy Zhang Teng becomes.
Not only Zhang Teng, but also all the generals under him thought so.
After all, Fan Hanzhong from Hezhou is like a god of war in Great Xia, and Zhu Yue is even more resourceful than a demon. Will they be so successful?
Two counties in a row!
No one lost much, which is very unusual.
"Sir, I think they will definitely take action tonight!"
"And I didn't expect that Ge Hong would actually be chopped down. It was really unexpected."
"But it's also very suspicious. Although this Ge Hong was stabbed five or six times, they were all superficial injuries. Although they look very severe, they are not life-threatening at all. There is no guarantee that this is not a trick."
"Indeed, the scolding battle between the two people in front of the battle was also very interesting. It actually focused on Zhu Yue. Could it be that it was staged for us?"
"It's possible..."
"..."
Several generals were talking on the side.
If Ge Hong heard this, he would probably be furious.
When we were fighting just now, you tied me up like a rice dumpling. Didn’t you see that?
Didn't you see me when I was jumping up and down like a bunny?
Didn't you see me when I was rolling around underground?
Didn’t you see I was stabbed several times?
The fact that I didn't die inside was the result of the good deeds of our Ge family ancestors. I didn't know how many generations of luck I had used up before I survived.
Has it become a conspiracy in your mouth?
I'm cheating on you, uncle!
Come and have a look!
"In this case, we have to be on guard tonight. Order the left and right armies to be on standby at any time. The central army will leave a loophole and let them in. Once the order is given, all three armies will come out!"
"I don't believe it. At this time, what other tricks can they come up with!"
Zhang Teng said coldly.
At midnight.
In order to boost morale, 'Fan Hanzhong' personally led all the troops into the camp outside the city.
Unexpectedly, the people inside were defenseless.
"Hahaha!"
"Kill me!"
"Set fire and burn down their camp!"
"quick!"
'Fan Hanzhong' was very excited. He was very excited when he saw Taizhou's troops being chased by his own troops.
I never thought I could be so good!
Isn’t it just to lead troops to fight?
What a trivial matter!
Just when 'Fan Hanzhong' was looking excited, bursts of trumpet sounds suddenly came from the city wall.
The city gate opened wide, and a group of people rushed out.
Immediately afterwards, countless people and horses also poured out from the left and right sides.
"Oops!"
"Sir, we have fallen into a trap!"
"Quickly retreat!"
The general of 'Fan Hanzhong' shouted to 'Fan Hanzhong'.
At this time, 'Fan Hanzhong' was already panicking. If things were going smoothly, he could still maintain Fan Hanzhong's personality, but once it came to this life and death moment, how could he care?
I almost fell off the horse, so I could only hug the horse's neck tightly and follow a group of people running around.
"Is this Fan Hanzhong?"
"Is it just spreading rumors?"
"How could it be so easy to fall into the trap?"
Zhang Teng, who was on the city wall, looked at the Hezhou troops surrounded by three of his troops, full of doubts.
"Sir, no matter what, it's too late for them to have any plans now!"
"Fan Hanzhong has been surrounded. If we kill Fan Hanzhong, our contribution will be great!"
A general said very excitedly.
Zhang Teng nodded.
Yes, now that they have all fallen into the trap, what else can they do?
As long as Fan Hanzhong is captured, Hezhou will be easy!
The competition now is speed. As long as you kill them quickly, it doesn't matter if you have any strategies!
"You come with me out of the city!"
"Order everyone to fight quickly!"
"Whoever kills Fan Hanzhong will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
