The situation at this time can be said to be extremely critical. If you are not careful, the overall situation will deteriorate. It is the time when Han Xin's decision is most needed, but Han Xin's heart is in a mess, like a headless fly.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Looking at Han Xin who was pacing and still thinking, Jushu said anxiously: "My lord, please give the order to expel the Qin army."
"But if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the ambush would be a complete failure if we didn't invite it?" Han Xin said with a tangled look on his face.
Jushou's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his lord would say such crazy words. Is this still the wise and powerful King of Han? He couldn't be disguised in disguise, right?
As soon as he thought about this, Jushou's eyes became sharp, and he stepped forward and rubbed Han Xin's face, but he didn't find any signs of disguise, and he couldn't help but become more confused.
Han Xin pushed Jushou away and shouted angrily: "Military advisor, what are you doing?"
Han Xin had never been treated like this before. If it hadn't been for Ju Shou, he would have just cut him down with a sword.
Seeing this tone and demeanor, Jushu was sure that the person in front of him was his lord, but why was there such a huge contrast?
Jushou didn't know that it was because of Zhang Liang and Guo Jia's halo that Han Xin became so dull.
Jushou had no time to think about it, and had no time to explain, so he quickly said: "My lord, our intention has been seen through by Bai Qi. The ambush plan is impossible to succeed. The top priority now is to expel the Qin army from the city first. Once the east gate is completely captured, everything will happen." It’s too late.”
Han Xin, whose mind was in chaos, had no idea what to do. After hearing Jushou's words, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he quickly said: "Yes, yes, the military advisor is right."
Since Han Xin dared to open the city gate and let the Qin army in, he would naturally be fully prepared.
After the Qin army entered the city this time, they did not attack the prefect's mansion. Instead, they chose to attack the city tower. Although it was no longer part of the plan, since the city was well prepared, there was no problem in driving the Qin army out of the city. It only suffered casualties. It might be a little bigger.
Han Xin, who was awakened by Ju Shou, suddenly became clear-headed and quickly ordered: "Zhang He, you will command to remove the ambush circle and move all the kerosene to the east gate.
If the Qin army continues to advance into the city, immediately light a fire and use a wall of fire to prevent the Qin army from advancing."
"promise."
After Zhang He shouted loudly, he directly clasped his fists and left, while Han Xin continued to give the order: "Zhang Kui, Nangong Changwan, you two each lead a troop of soldiers and horses, one on the left and one on the right, first go to block the Qin army at the east gate and the reinforcements Coming soon.
By the way, I, the king, will also capture the traitor Yuan Shang."
"promise."
"Where are Chen Qi, Zheng Lun, Gao Ming, and Gao Jue?" Han Xin shouted.
Chen Qi and other four generals stood up together and responded: "Where is the last general?"
"Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, you two each command five thousand spears and build a spear array at the east gate.
Gao Ming, Gao Jue, you two each lead three thousand strong crossbowmen, and set up the crossbow formation behind the spear formation."
Han Xin had already regained his wisdom and said calmly: "After the formations of guns and crossbows are arranged, you will gradually advance after receiving my order, squeezing the Qin army's living space bit by bit, and directly targeting the Qin army." Until they are completely expelled.”
"promise."
[Han Xin’s skill ‘Soldier Immortal’ is activated with effect 3, and the entire army’s generals have a force of 2, and the combat power and morale of the entire army are increased...

Zhang He’s military force...]
The most correct orders were issued in an orderly manner from Han Xin's mouth. After a brief panic, the defenders in the city seemed to have a backbone again, and they all cheered up and fought hard to resist the Qin army.
There were nearly ten thousand defenders at the east gate of Ye City. Except for Yuan Lin, who was in charge of the city gate, and his subordinate Yuan Shang, the other defenders did not rebel.
After the Qin army launched an attack on the east gate, the defenders of the east gate automatically launched a counterattack. However, because the Qin army attacked from both inside and outside at the same time, they not only attacked the tower from inside the city, but also had large armies outside the city attacking the city, under attack from both inside and outside.
, the city gate defenders were naturally unable to resist, and were quickly defeated, allowing the Qin army to occupy a large area on the city tower.
"kill……"
After Xue Rengui shouted loudly, he swiped his hand violently, and the four enemy soldiers in front of him vomited blood and flew away. He shouted and ordered: "The whole army, please be careful not to fight. Use all the defensive equipment to protect the city."
They were all burned by me."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the soldiers poured kerosene directly onto the catapult, and then lit it with a torch. An expensive catapult was burned.
Not only Xue Rengui, but other defensive equipment on the east gate tower were also burned to varying degrees by the Qin army, and this is where Zhang Liang's true brilliance lies.
Han Xin had already been prepared, and there were still 120,000 defenders in the city. Therefore, even if the Qin army entered the city, it would be difficult to completely capture Ye City in a night battle.
But if you attack the city tower and burn the defense equipment, the situation is different.
Without the assistance of such defensive equipment, the defensive power of the city tower will be reduced to freezing point. Only a bare city wall will be left. How can it stop the Qin army with all kinds of siege equipment? Yecheng will be captured by then.
It's a piece of cake.
"kill……"
Under the protection of hundreds of people, Yuan Shang continuously attacked the tower defenders and even killed five soldiers with his own hands.
Although the armies controlled by Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were not as good as their elder brother's on New Year's Day, they still totaled nearly 15,000. However, they were all in the Xicheng camp and could not come for a while.
According to the plan, when the city gate is opened, Yuan Shang's direct troops in the west city will also cause chaos in the city in response to the east gate, but so far there has been no movement at all, which gave Yuan Shang a bad feeling.
The rebellion led by Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi was naturally suppressed by Han Xin. Before the army could leave the camp, it was blocked by Yuan Tan at the entrance of the camp. Then, as the defender was killed, the entire army marched towards Yuan Tan.
Tan surrendered.
"Young General, it's bad, Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan are coming to kill us."
"What?"
Yuan Shang's eyes were full of panic and he quickly said: "Quick, move closer to the Qin army."
Yuan Shang's reaction was not unpleasant, but Zhang Kui's movements were even faster.
Seeing that Yuan Shang was about to run towards the Qin army, Zhang Kui abandoned the army and rode into Yuan Shang's guard alone.
"Major General, let's go quickly..."
Yuan Lin, who betrayed Yuan Xi and turned to Yuan Shang, was killed by Zhang Kui before he finished speaking.
The guards guarding the center all tried their best to kill Zhang Kui, but they could not stop Zhang Kui in the slightest. They rushed directly in front of Yuan Shang as if they were in a deserted place.
"Yuan Shang, where are we going?"
After Zhang Kui shouted loudly, he slashed out with the big knife in his hand.
[Zhang Kui’s skill ‘Sword God’ is activated, his force is 4, and his current force has increased to 114.]
Yuan Shang was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously swung his sword to block, but the sword in his hand broke immediately, and then a big knife hung in front of his neck.
"Yuan Shang, if my lord hadn't taken you alive, you would be a dead man now." Zhang Kui said coldly.
