Chapter 422 Overlord, Fight or Not

This night was extraordinarily long.

Jiyuan City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Ouyang Shuo's secret letter was delivered to Bai Qi's desk in less than two hours.

Bai Qi opened the secret letter, read it, and muttered to himself: "Han Xin? It's interesting."

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"About raising the account!"

"promise!"

The personal guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to notify the generals. Even though it was late at night, and the general raised his account to discuss matters, I am afraid that no general dared to complain.

The military situation is urgent, and it is common for the general to be woken up in the middle of the night.

In less than fifteen minutes, generals such as Zhang Han, Elai, Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong, Wang Yan, and Lin Yi gathered in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

These generals all knew Bai Qi's style of acting, and they didn't dare to delay at all. But several generals of other lords arrived late, making Bai Qi frown.

"Tomorrow, you will fight against Xiang Yu, who of you will dare to fight?"

As soon as the voice fell, the generals didn't react for a while, and were stunned. Didn't the commander-in-chief always disagree with Xiang Yu? Why did the attitude take a 180-degree turn all of a sudden?

Bai Qi remained expressionless and sat at the head of the desk.

"Marshal, the last general wishes!"

Elai was the first to stand up, so he would not pursue the cause. In the past few days, Xiang Yu repeatedly provoked outside the city, but he was so aggrieved by the evil.

"it is good!"

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, as expected of his general.

"Who else?"

"The wish of the last general!"

Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong, Wang He and other fierce generals called for the battle one after another.

You fierce generals, have long held back your breath.

"Okay!" Bai Qi raised his head, looked around, and said: "Tomorrow, General Elai, General Zhang Liao, General Qin Qiong and General Wang Yan, the four generals, will meet Xiang Yu for a while."

"promise!"

All the generals who were named were overjoyed. Those who were not pointed out, such as Lin Yi, looked depressed.

The generals dispersed, and Bai Qi left Lin Yi alone to discuss.

Leaning slightly, Lin Yi left the big tent.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the imperial guards quietly left the city and disappeared into the vast night. Only the Imperial Guard Division, who has received strict special operations training, has the confidence to march at night.

***********

Night, Anyang City.

Apart from writing to Bai Qi, Ouyang Shuo did not sit still.

After the war ended, the two daughters of Bai Hua mobilized the people in the city to clean up the battlefield. The corpses at the top of the city were cleaned up so as not to hinder the soldiers' positions.

Most importantly, when defending the city in the afternoon, a large number of stones and rolling logs thrown outside the city were also recovered from the pile of corpses by the common people one by one, and re-carried to the top of the city.

There was no other way, the resources for defending the city were scarce, so Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to make a bad move.

As for digging the moat again, firstly, the people in the city are unable to do so, and secondly, it is easy to disturb the enemy army on the other side of the river, so the gain outweighs the loss.

Other than that, we have to mention Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Prison and Huang.

During the day, the two ladies did a great job besides organizing meals.

The people in Anyang City don't have one out of ten, so naturally many empty houses are vacated.

The two women ordered decisively to organize the people to demolish all the empty houses and obtain stones and wood. For a whole day, hundreds of houses in Anyang City were demolished.

Taking advantage of the night, the cleared stones and rolling logs were transported to the top of the city.

In this way, the materials for defending the city will be abundant tomorrow.

Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to admire the wisdom of the two women.

It was busy until the middle of the night, and the peace in Anyang City was restored.

Even so, the people in the city could not sleep peacefully. As long as they are not blind, they all know that there is still a bad battle waiting for them tomorrow.

No matter which camp occupied Anyang City, it was the people in the city who suffered.

Xing, the people suffer;

death, the people suffer.

This statement is true.

***********

Anti-Qin camp, Chu army camp.

When Dichen's messenger arrived at the barracks, it was already midnight, and the entire barracks was silent.

"who?"

Before the messenger could get close to the camp, he was stopped by the guards patrolling the camp.

"The other person represents Dichen's messenger. If there is an urgent military situation to report to General Xiang, please report it."

The guard's tone was unpredictable, and he said sinisterly, "Di Chen's messenger?"

"Exactly!"

The messenger's tone was firm. As a representative of a different person, Dichen's status in the army was quite high.

No, an accident happened.

"Hmph, how bold." The guard's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Left and right, we took it!"

"promise!"

The four guards, three times, five divisions and two divisions, tied up the messenger.

"What are you doing?" The messenger was furious, struggling to shout: "Can you afford to delay the military situation?"

"Bah!" The guard spat, and said, "The general has an order. Dichen doesn't obey the order and leaves his post without permission. He deserves death. How dare you throw yourself into a trap."

When the messenger heard the words, he felt bitter.

Thousands of calculations, his master miscalculated Xiang Yu's character.

Who is Xiang Yu? What a conceit.

How could he allow others to challenge his authority in the army.

Di Chen dared to violate the military order, so he was wanted by Xiang Yu.

The courier was helpless, and there was no more aggressive look on his face, and he said respectfully: "The guard elder brother, but the younger brother has an urgent military situation, and he needs to report it to General Xiang."

"No, the general has already fallen asleep and cannot be disturbed."

The guards are tough.

"Brother Guard, please pass this secret letter on to General Xiang."

Messenger is the next best thing.

The guard nodded this time, took the secret letter, waved his hand, and said, "Press it!"

"promise!"

"Brother Guard, you must hand over the secret letter to General Xiang, the military situation is urgent!"

The courier was dragged down, but he still didn't forget to turn around and ask, he was competent. As for the secret letter to Han Xin, it can only be resigned to fate, and it is still lying in his arms.

The guards would not listen to him, so he casually put away the secret letter and continued to patrol.

At this time, he didn't dare to disturb the general.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiang Yu received the secret letter from the guard after washing up.

After reading the secret letter, Xiang Yu was silent for a while.

"Han Xin, hum!"

Xiang Yu is not a fool, he guessed the mastermind behind the scenes immediately.

This is slapping him in the face naked. He had just ridiculed Han Xin's deduction, and it turned out that Han Xin's deduction was correct, how could he not embarrass Xiang Yu.

"I'll settle the score with you when I'm done!"

Anger is anger, Xiang Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, will still take care of the overall situation. He also knew that once he was flanked by the Qin army, he would be defeated immediately.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Let Yingbu come to see this general."

"promise!"

After a little tilt, Yingbu came to the tent.

Yingbu was tattooed because of the Qin law, also known as tattoo cloth. He belonged to Xiang Liang at first, and later became a general under Xiang Yu's account. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Huainan King, and together with Han Xin and Peng Yue, he was called the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty.

"General!"

Xiang Yu nodded, briefly introduced the situation of Anyang City, and said: "You lead an army of 50,000 to Anyang City, and you must take Anyang before the Qin army arrives."

"General, don't worry!"

Yingbo is a fierce player, so he is naturally confident.

With a 50,000 army, if he still can't take down a small Anyang City, then he might as well just hit him to death.

At this moment, the report came from outside the account.

"Come in!"

"Report to the general. Qin Jun sent a letter of war, saying that he is willing to accept the general's agreement to fight."

"Okay!" Xiang Yu was overjoyed, and said, "These turtles have finally shown their heads."

"Come on, put on your armor!"

Xiang Yu's excitement was beyond words, and he was about to put on his armor and go to fight the general.

Ying Bu frowned when he heard this, and said, "General!"

"Yep?"

"As soon as the last general is going to support Anyang City, the Qin army will fight. Is there any fraud in this?"

Yingbo said cautiously, for fear that Xiang Yu would misunderstand.

"Hey!" Xiang Yu laughed loudly and said, "Qin Jun must want to hold back this general so that we cannot support Anyang City. How can such a simple strategy work?"

"No matter who the Qin army sends to fight in the future, this general will definitely kill him." Xiang Yu waved his hand full of domineering, and said, "Go ahead, there is this general in charge here, and there will be no trouble."

Seeing this, Yingbo couldn't say anything, so he nodded and retreated.

After a little tilt, the 50,000 army, led by Yingbu, went straight to Anyang City. Because it was going to siege the city, Yingbo specially brought a large number of siege equipment on this trip.

Just like this, it is doomed that the Yingbu army cannot march as fast as the Dichen army.

***********

The red sun is rising, and its way is bright.

Under the morning light, Anyang City was covered with a layer of golden light. The bloodstains of yesterday hung on the city wall, dotted with dots, writing the best commentary for yesterday's battle.

In future generations, Anyang City is destined to be remembered by history because of this battle.

Facing the rising sun, Lian Po led the army and launched another fierce attack on Anyang City.

Although Di Chen had asked Xiang Yu for help, he still had a glimmer of hope that he could take Anyang City before the reinforcements arrived.

This time, Lian Po changed his siege strategy.

Without the assistance of siege equipment, it is too difficult to take down the city wall.

Lian Po aimed his gaze at the city gate. Break through the city gate, and Anyang can be taken. The only trouble is how to repair the city gate in a short time after it is taken down.

After all, if they occupy Anyang City, they will also face the attack of the main force of the Qin army.

In order to win Anyang City, Lian Po couldn't care less.

The city gate is narrow, and it is destined that too many soldiers cannot be arranged. Lian Po sent one of Handan City's most elite troops into the battle at the city gate.

The focus of the attack was still the west city gate.

As for the other city gates, Lian Po ignored them.

Anyang City is surrounded by water on all sides. To attack two or three city gates at the same time means filling in several sections of the moat. With the number of existing troops, it is really beyond our capabilities.

Therefore, Lian Po chose to attack the West Gate specifically.

Wearing the iconic scarlet cloak, Ouyang Shuo came to the city early.

After a night of breathing adjustment, plus the golden sore medicine personally prepared by Bian Que, Ouyang Shuo's skin wounds were no longer serious. Only the toxins in the body are still ready to move.

Behind Ouyang Shuo, there were three more generals, namely Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and Xia Houying.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't figure out what kind of magic Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Qiuhuang used last night to make Xiao He and the others submit obediently.

At this time, Xiao He was planning logistics in the city.

The beacon fire is about to light up again!
