Chapter 597 can't be attacked
Han Xin can indeed be regarded as Li Yu's old friend.
The first time the two of them worked together was when they were in the time of exterminating Chu, and at that time they were really friends because they had a common enemy.
Since then, although they have not met again, they have also used troops against each other, and they can really be regarded as old friends.
For Han Xin, Li Yu naturally loves talent very much, but if Han Xin refuses to take refuge in him, then even if Han Xin is talented, he will have to find a way to kill him.
The soldiers and horses of the Tang State walked like this, and it didn't take long for them to come to the territory of Huangcheng.
When they came to the territory of Huangcheng, it was the afternoon of that day, and the Tang army did not attack the city, but camped five miles outside the city.
After everything was ready, Li Yu called his advisers and generals to the big tent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Han Xin is a man who can use soldiers, if he goes out of the city to fight, we may not be sure of victory, and if he doesn't go out of the city, it is not easy for us to break the city, I don't know if you have any good ways?"
Han Xin's ability, these people are more or less clear, so when Li Yu said this, they didn't think there was any problem.
That Han Xin is already very powerful.
Everyone looked at each other, but for a while, they couldn't think of a way to break the city.
"Shengshang, let's try to attack the city tomorrow, my Tang army has a lot of siege weapons, maybe it can capture Huangcheng, it's okay, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it, how about it?"
Everyone didn't speak, Xu Maogong could only open his mouth and say what he meant, of course, his meaning was equal to no meaning, take a step and talk about it.
However, many times what is needed is to take a step, and only after taking such a step can they be able to see what their strength is, and then guess what to do next based on this.
Everyone had no opinion on Xu Maogong's proposal, and Li Yu nodded: "Okay, then let the soldiers rest and attack the city tomorrow." ”
The Tang army was stationed outside the city, and Han Xin was in the Yellow City, consulting with the generals.
"The Tang army has more soldiers and horses, although our Huangcheng can stop them, but the Tang army is scheming, we must be on guard."
As he spoke, Han Xin asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”
"General, the Tang army is bound to be tired after a long journey, why don't we send troops tonight and attack the Tang camp." A soldier stood up and said an idea, but after he said this, Han Xin shook his head: "No, even if the Tang army travels a long distance, they are bound to be very cautious, if we go like this, we may fall into their trap, so it is better to guard in the city." ”
Han Xin had suffered the losses of the Tang army, so when he faced the Tang army now, he became very cautious, guarding the city, and they were invincible first, so he was still more inclined to this situation.
When everyone saw this, they didn't say much.
Therefore, in the end, there was no good way to say anything, so he could only send people to keep an eye on Tang Jun to prevent them from playing any tricks.
And so the night passed, and the next morning went on.
Li Yu took 140,000 soldiers and horses to the city of Huangcheng.
On the city tower, Han Xin was already waiting for Li Yu with his own people.
As soon as he got up, Li Yu glanced up at Han Xin and said with a smile: "General Han, we met again, don't come unharmed?" ”
Han Xin's eyes condensed slightly, since he was an enemy of the Tang Army, his life was not very good, he could be said to hate Li Yu to death, and now Li Yu still said this to him, he was very angry.
"Li Yu, don't get close to me, you are raging in my Han Kingdom like this, are you really bullying me and no one in the Han Kingdom?"
Han Xin glared at Li Yu angrily, but Li Yu smiled: "I know your Han Xin's ability, and I have always liked it very much, if you want, you can come to my Tang Kingdom, it is impossible to make you king, but there is still no problem in giving you the title of Duke of the country." ’
When Liu Jibang was there, if Han Xin surrendered, Li Yu would really give Han Xin the title of king, but now, the Han Kingdom has become the end of the strong crossbow, and with Han Xin here, he can still destroy the Han Kingdom, so he will naturally not give Han Xin the title of king.
And after Li Yu said this, Han Xin suddenly snorted: "Who likes your title of king and knight, don't talk here, if you have the ability, come to attack the city, if you are interested, go back, and I, Han Xin, will spare your Tang Army's life." ”
Li Yu laughed: "Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to attack the city." ”
Saying that, Li Yu gave an order, and then, the siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty, sharp arrows, boulders and so on, all beckoned over, these things were very violent, killing a lot of Han soldiers and horses, but on the side of the Han State, it was not weak at all, and soon, the sharp arrows also shot down on the side of the Tang Army.
They occupy a favorable position, and on the side of the Tang army, there are also great casualties.
And then there's the siege, the siege.
The siege equipment of the Tang army is still very powerful, but because Han Xin already knows it, there are also ways to restrain it.
In such a fight between the two sides, a lot of corpses soon piled up under Huangcheng.
The smell of blood spread around the city, and before dusk, the Tang army still did not have the slightest intention of breaking through the Yellow City.
Seeing this, Xu Maogong said, "Holy Lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture the city today, so let's retreat for the time being." ”
The attack continued, but it only increased casualties.
After hearing Xu Maogong's words, Li Yu didn't think much about it, so he nodded: "Withdraw from the army." ”
The Tang army retreated, and it was only at this time that dusk came.
Han Xin stood on the city tower and looked at the retreating Tang Jun, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, he also admits that the Tang army is powerful, but if it is just a siege, no matter how powerful the Tang army is, it is useless, he is simply unable to capture Huangcheng, especially when he still has so many soldiers and horses.
However, although he repelled the Tang army, Han Xin's heart was still faintly uneasy, he didn't know that something was wrong there, but he was uneasy.
Perhaps, he suffered too much loss here in the Tang Kingdom, and now he finally defeated the Tang Army once, which made him a little unbelievable.
Han Xin said this to himself, and then sent people to continue patrolling the city tower, so as not to make any tricks for the Tang army, he knew that the Tang army sometimes played cards out of common sense, and the things he did were very incredible.
In this way, they naturally have to be cautious.
After Han Xin gave such an order, he retreated, and the soldiers and horses of the Han State patrolled the city tower and the city, and the Tang State finally returned to the barracks. "His grandmother's, this Han Xin is really hateful, we can't attack the city, what should we do next?" As soon as they went back, several generals complained, and they felt very aggrieved.
