Chapter 550: Li Yuanba's Challenge

After listening to Xiang Yu's narration, Zhang Liang's face also became extremely solemn.

In order to save these prisoners of war, Zhang Liang only brought two guards, and killed three war horses in two days, so he arrived before Xiang Yu's night attack, and while preventing Xiang Yu from stepping into Li Shimin's trap, he made a small calculation of Li Shimin.

Zhang Liang thought that after the success of the night attack, with more than 10,000 defenders whose morale had soared, it was enough to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but the situation of the Han army was beyond his expectations.

A fierce general of Xiang Yu's level can completely control a war with his own strength, and there are actually three of these peerless fierce Han soldiers.

"Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, Yuwencheng-Du?"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but chatter, but he didn't have the slightest impression of how he recalled it, it could be seen that they were all newcomers, so he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

When did He Zeng, in terms of fierce generals, have Xiang Yu's yellow scarf, and he can beat the big man.

Now there are more and more fierce generals in Dahan, but there is still only one Xiang Yu in Daming, and the gap has been completely widened.

Peerless generals, it is already very rare to have one person in one life, and there are so many in this era, and most of them are in the Han Dynasty......

"God, how unfair you are." Zhang Liang whispered to himself, he never believed in the sky, but he began to complain, which shows how urgent the situation is now.

"Xiang Yu, are you sure that the other party has three generals who are not weaker than you?"

Zhang Liang asked with a serious face, he didn't dare to believe that this was true, and even thought that it might be Xiang Yu's modest words, but it could be seen that Xiang Yu nodded affirmatively, which dispelled all the luck in his heart.

Zhang Liang is indeed good at planning, yes, but it must also be on the premise that there is a possibility of success.

But now the gap between the strength of the enemy and us is too big, and if the three of them go up together with Xiang Yu's fierce generals, even Xiang Yu is afraid that he will fall.

And the current situation is that you can't fight for generals, and you can't fight for soldiers.

If you fight with wit, the strategy of the commander of the Han army is also not weak, and after the hundred horsemen rob the camp, they will definitely be on guard against Zhang Liang, so it is impossible for the general strategy to work.

So no matter how high Zhang Liang's strategy is, when he encounters such a completely disadvantaged situation, he can't think of any good way for a while.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and then asked Xiang Yu: "Xiang Yu, among the three generals, are you sure to stop the two?" ”

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't fought against Li Yuanba, but judging from the intelligence, his strength is still above Yuwen Cheng-Du."

If any of the two Li is added to Yuwen Cheng-Du, I am sure that I can block it in a short time, but I will definitely lose in the end. And Li Cunxiao's strength is only slightly inferior to me, and if he joins forces with Li Yuanba, I am not sure that he will be able to stop it. ”

Zhang Liangning nodded, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No, the overall strength gap is too big, and it is difficult to hold on." ”

Now Xiang Yu is completely convinced of Zhang Liang's resourcefulness, and since Zhang Liang said that it was difficult, wouldn't all his previous efforts be useless?

"Is there really no other way?" Xiang Yu said unwillingly.

Zhang Liang frowned and exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and when he saw the somewhat gloomy weather, his eyes suddenly flashed.

"It's not impossible. Has it rained recently? ”

"That's right, that was before our army captured Otani Pass."

A hint of joy flashed on Zhang Liang's face, and he said, "Quickly spread the news, just say that because of the rain, the road is blocked, and the reinforcements will not arrive until seven days later." ”

"Seven days?"

A trace of hesitation flashed on Xiang Yu's face, and then he asked: "The morale of the army has finally recovered, and as soon as this news spreads, I'm afraid that the morale will fall again." ”

In order to appease morale, Xiang Yu said to the outside world that as long as he held out for five days, and at the same time sent people to urge reinforcements to arrive within three days, he didn't know if he could arrive.

Now that a day has passed, the defenders thought that they would hold out for four more days, but at this time, they had to tell them that the reinforcements would arrive in six days, and even if the Tiger Prison Pass could be defended in the end, there would definitely be few survivors, so morale would definitely plummet.

Zhang Hao didn't seem to care about morale at all, and explained lightly: "With the current comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, if the Han army does everything to carry out a fierce attack, it will be difficult for our army to hold out even for a day, so what we have to do is not let the Han army do everything to attack the city." ”

Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "I see, if the Han army knows that the reinforcements will arrive in seven days, if there is enough time, they will definitely take care of casualties and attack the city steadily." ”

"That's right, as long as there is enough time, Li Shimin will definitely take care of casualties, and maybe he will rely on fighting generals to suppress the morale of our army again. Xiang Yu, you must remember that you can only fight with the other party alone, and the Han army will be ready to retreat when two people come out, and the three of them will run away immediately. ”

"Understood."

After that, the two discussed the matter of defending the city again, and then Xiang Yu went out to arrange.

Looking at Xiang Yu's departing back, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Both Li and Yang have enmity with you, if you don't fight, the situation of the three generals attacking the city together will be even worse, and if you go to war, you can delay time...... It's up to you whether you can hold the Tiger Prison Pass or not. ”

————————

Early the next morning, Li Shimin received the news that the Ming reinforcements would arrive in seven days.

Li Shimin did not suspect that this might be fake news, but if this was deliberately spread by the enemy, it would only make the defenders more flustered, which was completely worth the loss, so it was really more likely.

Although Li Shimin wanted to kill Xiang Yu immediately, he suffered 6,000 Xiliang elites killed and injured along the way, and Li Shimin was also extremely distressed, so he decided that it was better to be stable, so he gathered everyone together to discuss the siege of the city.

After listening to this, Yang Jian nodded and said, "Since there is so much time, let's send someone to challenge first." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then took Li Yuanba, Qin Hao and other generals to challenge the Tiger Prison Pass.

Looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, Li Shimin remembered the bad past again, shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts, and said to Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, go, this time it's up to you to challenge." ”

Li Yuanba was overjoyed and immediately rushed out, while Li Shimin said to Qin Hao and Yang Jian: "Li Cunxiao and Yu Wencheng, the two generals, should also be prepared. ”

Yang Jian nodded, but Qin Hao asked, "What if Xiang Yu refuses to fight?" ”

After all, Xiang Yu already knew that there were a few people on the Han army's side whose strength was weaker than his, and it was normal for all of them to be unable to defend themselves.
