Chapter 774: The loyal heir arrives, overwhelming power
"General Han's reinforcements have arrived, General Han's reinforcements have arrived!"
"You bastards, every one of you will die without a burial place!" Su Quanzhong, covered in blood, burst into crazy laughter.
Obviously, Su Quanzhong also regarded this soldier as Han Xin's large army at this time.
"Little brother! Go find the general quickly, don't get involved with this bastard!" Meng Wen's face was as dark as water, and he pulled Meng Wudao who was still fighting for his life.
The two of them also mistook this group of troops for Han Xin's troops and thought that Han Xin's troops had already arrived.
When they thought that Han Xin's soldiers and horses were coming, they also panicked.
At this time, Su Quanzhong was breathing his last breath. With at most ten rounds left, the two of them might be able to kill Su Quanzhong on the spot, but it was too late at this time.
In other words, how could they care about Su Quanzhong at this time?
Although there is more than one road leading to Ninh Binh County, only the Xuanma Ancient Road can pass troop transport vehicles, and only this road is suitable for large-scale troop movements.
Other roads are rugged and difficult to travel. Even if we can barely march through other roads, there are no troop transport vehicles and due to the road conditions, it is impossible for troops to arrive at this time.
Therefore, everyone subconsciously thought that this army was Han Xin's army.
But the only thing I didn't expect was that this was indeed the case on land, but it wouldn't necessarily be the case if we traveled by water.
Although Li Cunxiao's Lao Taishan handed over all his followers to Li Cunxiao, he relied on this opportunity to complete the change from a Jianghu man to an official.
However, with the foundation of the previous gang, they still have a powerful presence on the river. They deceived Li Shikai and they mobilized a group of ships to help Han Xin send this troop without anyone noticing.
We took the water route and arrived in Ningping County.
And this soldier and horse was also the confidence that Han Xin had in cooperating with Guan Zhong to lure the snake out of the cave. It was also the confidence that Han Xin was able to safely release water on the Xuanma Ancient Road, and even release it into the sea.
The rear army was defeated after being killed. Li Shikai, who entered the city, did not dare to fight for a long time due to the serious asymmetry of information. After the continuous siege battles, his soldiers were already exhausted. If it were Han Xin's large army, only the entire army would be defeated.
An end to destruction.
Moreover, most of the soldiers and horses armed by the servants of the noble families were not even fully equipped with armor. They were just loaded with weapons and killed. The combat power of such soldiers and horses can be imagined.
It was okay when fighting with the wind before, but this time, under the attack of Wang Zhongsi's troops, he became the first to be defeated.
And Wang Zhongsi even defeated them without killing them. As a famous general, he knew very well that if you want to defeat an enemy army, sometimes it is not to kill them as much as possible, but to save their lives, which is more useful.
.
Due to the defeat of these private soldiers of the famous families, coupled with Wang Zhongsi's deliberate expulsion, Li Shikai's Hedong Army soldiers were also affected by these defeats and fell into chaos.
But after entering the city, the Hedong Army soldiers and horses were distributed throughout the city. At this time, Li Shikai was unable to effectively command the Hedong Army. He could only stabilize a part of the Hedong Army soldiers and horses.
Moreover, although there were not many remnant troops left in the city, when they heard that reinforcements had arrived, under the leadership of Su Quanzhong, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and they launched a counterattack with their last breath.
"Huh! How could Han Xin come at this time?"
"Han Gui, I only asked him to stop Han Xin for ten days, how come Han Xin came to kill him!" Li Shi yelled angrily.
"General Li, the situation is not right. General Han Gui, unless the entire army is wiped out, even if Han Xin comes from the Xuanma Horse Road and kills us, our army will not have any news in advance!"
"Could these soldiers and horses be Han Xin's soldiers and horses?" Among the Zhuge family of this generation, Zhuge Lao Er is worthy of being called Yunhu among dragons, tigers and dogs, and the most calm one among them all.
Even within a short time, the battle situation in the city had begun to deteriorate, but he could still think calmly.
"If it's not Han Xin's troops, could it be Wei Guan's troops?"
"But this shouldn't be the case. The general has already sent a large number of guards to observe the movements of the soldiers and horses at the Guard Pass. There are several banks where a large number of soldiers and horses can cross the river. The general has also placed a large number of informants! Not to mention, everywhere
Along the shore of the ferry, I don’t know how many hidden stakes have been planted in the middle. Even if the troops and horses guarding the pass are dispatched, I will not be left without news!" Li Shikai guessed, but he denied it the next moment.
made his own guess.
"It would be great if these were the soldiers and horses of Weiguan!" Zhuge Laoer shook his head and said.
They really hoped that these were soldiers and horses from Weiguan. If the soldiers and horses from Weiguan were indeed dispatched on a large scale, it would be worth it even if they lost the battle.
Once the Wei Pass is empty, King Jing will definitely be ready to attack this northern gateway, and there will be bad blood between the two rebels.
At that time, His Highness will have the opportunity to seize grain from the chaos and restore the Cangshi.
It is precisely because Da Cang is in danger that Zhuge Laoer will help Li Shikai, and even contact Li Shikai in the name of his father Zhuge Ming. He wants Da Cang to regain control of the world in his hands, and he wants everyone in the world to know that
Among the three heroes, Zhuge and Yunhu are even better than Qiulong.
"Weiguan, Dahe?"
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and Zhuge Laoer seemed to have understood something.
"General Li, do you think this soldier came from a ferry across the river?"
"If Han Xin had already sent his troops to take a detour into the river, even though it was a big circle, it didn't have to go through the ancient Xuanma Road, and it had the convenience of troop transports. Calculating the time, it's not impossible to arrive now!" Zhuge Lao Er crossed.
The more firmly he spoke, the more he felt that his judgment was probably accurate.
What's more, after all other impossible options are eliminated, even if the last one is impossible, it will only be the only correct option.
"That's impossible. My general has already planted a large number of hidden stakes and iron cables across the river along the banks of each ferry. How could the enemy be unaware of this?" Li Shikai retorted.
"General, what if the enemy is not riding in large ships, but in large numbers of small ships!" Zhuge Laoer couldn't help but shook his head.
If a slightly larger ship wants to dock, it does have certain requirements for the ferry. It does not mean that it can dock at any place.
However, the smaller the ship, the lower the requirements will naturally be!
No matter how many spies Li Shikai buried, they only targeted a few specific ferries. No matter how many hidden stakes and iron cables he buried in the river, they only targeted those specific ferries.
In this way, the enemy naturally managed to elude them without even noticing!
