After some simple testing, Han Xin discovered that under the leadership of the old emperor, although the morale of the Forbidden Army had not returned to its peak state, it was no longer at their mercy like before!
Moreover, after learning the previous lessons, this time, the old emperor guarded closely and no longer left any loopholes for Han Xin. The method of breaking through the second battalion would definitely not work again!
After the second and fifth battalions played tricks, they had to fight a bloody battle on top of the eighth battalion. Of course, no one can continue to play tricks, and no one can continue to experience it.
Tough.
Early the next morning, Han Xin summoned all the generals and went to the eighth battalion to prepare for the attack.
Under the command of Han Xin, a phalanx of catapults, crossbows, wells, shields and other siege equipment were arranged in an orderly manner in front of the eighth battalion.
Han Xin stared at the Eighth Battalion in the distance, slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Attack."
"kill……"
A siege team composed of two thousand swordsmen and shieldmen rushed directly towards the camp. At the same time, there were crossbows, arrows and flying rocks to cover the attack.
On the Forbidden Army side, Huangfu Yue saw that Han Xin was attacking, so he commanded the defense not to be outdone.
For a time, a large number of arrows, stones, and rolling logs were continuously projected down from the mountain.
"Xuanyuan Zhang Hui, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Limu, and you are responsible for shooting the enemy!"
Again, due to terrain restrictions, their siege troops could not deploy on a large scale, but the enemy's camp wall could not accommodate too many defenders at the same time.
Last time, several archer generals and the soldiers who were good at shooting in the previous part of the army were enough to cause a large number of casualties to the defenders on the camp wall.
Although there are also four archery masters such as Lu Bu, Zhong Limo, Ding Que, and Yu Fengsheng among the enemy army, their quality is much higher than theirs.
However, the task Han Xin gave the four of them was different from the four archery masters Lu Bu, Zhongli Mo, Ding Que, and Yu Fengsheng. He just asked them to attack ordinary enemy soldiers!
Therefore, as long as they are more careful, they can still do the things Han Xin has assigned them while ensuring their own safety.
Besides, not to mention they still have a numerical advantage here!
"General Han, do you need me to take action?" the general headed by Nangong Qixing asked.
After all, if there are so many fierce generals of the Forbidden Army, even if their soldiers are lucky enough to climb the enemy's camp wall, they will be killed or driven down by the enemy immediately.
Unable to spread out on the battlefield, it seems that both sides have a large number of troops, but there are not many troops that can participate in the battle at the same time. In this small-scale confrontation, the role that strong generals can play is terrifying.
Basically, a strong general can help the defenders defend a small section of the city wall intact.
Even Han Xin, if he didn't set up any strategic traps in advance, would have absolutely no chance of victory in a small-scale battle with a master like Lu Shenmo with two or three thousand people.
Therefore, Nangong Qixing and many other powerful generals from the coalition forces had no choice but to step forward at this time. If they did not involve the energy of those enemy generals, they would have no hope of defeating the enemy in a short period of time.
Even Han Xin could not reverse the enemy's advantage in strong generals on such a small-scale local battlefield.
"No rush, it's not time for the generals to take action yet!" Han Xin responded to several generals while giving orders to the soldiers and horses attacking the city in a hurry.
"General Han, why is this? If we join the attack together, the attack will be even more fierce." Yang Jian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Generals, there is no need to rush for the moment. When generals are needed, Xin will naturally not be polite." Han Xin said with a faint smile.
With so many powerful generals participating in a critical battle together, their offensive will indeed be faster and much faster.
However, just like this, it will not have a fundamental effect. After all, if there are so many powerful generals in the enemy's army watching, their generals may not be able to easily climb up the camp wall. Even if they climb up, they will not be able to climb up.
The other party immediately joined forces to drive them down.
In fact, what Han Xin carried out at this time was not a clever tactic, it was just a stupid method that most generals would use in tough battles, consumption, to consume the enemy's troops and energy through strong attacks.
When the enemy's troops are exhausted to a certain extent by them, when the enemy's troops are exhausted by them, they will naturally have a chance to defeat the enemy.
Huangfuyue is in the eighth battalion. The total number of troops and horses is very large, but how many troops and horses can Han Xin command? Even if the batch around him is wiped out, then Han Xin can also replace a batch from the rear.
Come up!
Therefore, if the two sides compete for consumption, Han Xin can afford it. Even if one person is replaced by three of the other side, Han Xin has enough confidence to replace all the soldiers and horses in the eighth battalion.
And Huangfuyue, no matter how much the Eighth Battalion's soldiers and horses are consumed, he still doesn't dare to easily withdraw troops from the others. At most, he doesn't dare to withdraw too many troops.
Remove it on a small scale within the scope.
If Huangfuyue draws too much, once the other camps fall into a state of emptiness, Han Xin will only have more opportunities!
Therefore, Han Xin's initial tactic was consumption.
The eighth battalion has consumed more troops, and the old emperor should be more and more anxious! A person is more likely to make mistakes only when he is anxious, especially those who are smart. If the enemy does not make mistakes, where will Han Xin come from?
To find the enemy's weaknesses?
Moreover, against the old emperor, Han Xin was ready to repeat his old tricks and use the same tactics he used against Chu Xizhao!
The old emperor and Chu Xizhao are completely different. Although they are both old men, and even the old emperor is much older, Han Xin cannot be self-righteous and compete with the old emperor for physical exertion, even with Xuanyuan Huang as his help.
Same goes for wearing.
However, you don’t dare to compete with the opponent through physical exertion, but you can compete with the opponent through mental exertion. Mental exertion is not at all easier and easier than physical exertion. Mental exertion can even make a person feel more tired and powerless than physical exertion.
.
This does not mean that the old emperor is strong enough to keep his brain running at high speed. Han Xin is confident that when he and Xuanyuan Huang take turns commanding the battle, sooner or later the old emperor will be unable to keep up with them.
The moment of rhythm.
And if you want to achieve this goal, the initial consumption is definitely indispensable.
