Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Hearing that Wang Lang named his head, Yan Ming's body trembled, and before he could speak, snot and tears flowed down first.

He bowed his head forward and said with pleading: "Your Majesty, the minister is the eldest son in the family, the elder and the younger, Your Majesty knows this......"

When Wang Lang heard this, his nose was almost crooked. He slapped the table again and again, and scolded angrily: "Yan Ming, I am now asking you to transport grain, not pushing you to the execution ground!" ”

Yan Ming shrank his neck in fright, drooped his head tremblingly, and muttered in a low voice: "What is the difference between going out of the city to transport grain now and going to the execution ground." ”

Wang Lang couldn't wait to get up and go up and kick him twice. He said in a condensed voice: "This is my will, Yan Ming, do you want to resist the will or disobey?" Cautiously glanced up at Wang Lang, and saw that his face was fierce, as if he was going to eat people, although Yan Ming and Wang Lang had some friendship before, but now he didn't dare to push back, so he could only bite the bullet and said in a trembling voice: "Minister...... minister

The Decree is. ”

Yan Ming was ordered to escort grain and grass to Li Yujun. This time, Yan Ming did not escort much grain and grass, only 10,000 stones, the size of the team was much smaller, and the target was naturally smaller, and it was not easy to be discovered.

But in the end, Yan Ming failed to transport the 10,000 stone grain to Li Yujun's camp.

Halfway through, they were attacked by the Youzhou Raiders again, and the grain and grass they transported were robbed, with heavy casualties, and Yan Ming, who had the title of Zuo Feng Yikong, also became a meat bun and beat a dog, and there was no return, and he died in the melee. Wang Lang, who learned the news, was completely stunned. He calculated everything, hoarded a large amount of food and materials in Handan City in advance, and left heavy troops to defend, in order to prevent Li Yu and Zhang Shen from having two hearts, and deliberately controlled their military rations

, but he made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that he would have problems in transporting grain.

Handan and Li Yujun's camp are only a stone's throw away, but the grain in Handan's city cannot be transported to Li Yujun's hands. Now, Wang Lang didn't pay attention to it, and he couldn't do anything about it.

More anxious than Wang Lang are Li Yu and Zhang Shen.

The army's grain is being consumed in large quantities every day, but Handan's grain has not been delivered for a long time, and now the whole army is about to run out of food.

In the past two days, Li Yu has continuously sent people to Handan to urge grain, but the grain he wants to wear is nowhere to be seen. Zhang Shen found Li Yu, and the two of them calculated countermeasures. Zhang Shen said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to send us food, but you can't send it at all, Liu Xiujun's cavalry is ghostly, coming and going without a trace, and the two batches of food sent from Handan were snatched away by Liu Xiujun, and Lu Heng and Yan Ming were also damaged

My lord. ”

Of course, Li Yu is also aware of these situations, but he doesn't want to listen to these reasons now, he just wants food.

He said: "There is not much grain and grass left in the army, and after today, tomorrow will run out of food, and there will be no food available. ”

Zhang Shen frowned, muttered for a long time, and said faintly: "Although Handan has an army of 100,000, His Majesty will never send this 100,000 army out of the city...... Only our army went to Handan in person to receive military rations! ”

After saying this, he glanced at Li Yu, who had a solemn face. At present, between their camp and Handan, there is a large camp of Liu Xiujun.

If they go to Handan, they have to bypass Liu Xiujun's camp first, but Liu Xiujun is not a wooden stake, will he watch them go around the camp? Once Liu Xiujun goes out of the camp to fight, how will he respond? Li Yu's face changed uncertainly, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was too risky to do so. He narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "Now Liu Xiujun does not dare to attack Handan for a long time, all because of the existence of our department, our department has already become an eye in Liu Xiu's heart

Nail in the middle, thorn in the flesh. Now that our troops are cowering in the camp, Liu Xiu still does not dare to lead the army to attack, once our army is out of the camp, Liu Xiu will definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”

Zhang Shen nodded thoughtfully. Li Yu continued: "The reason why Liu Xiu continuously attacked our army's grain road was not only to rob the grain, but also to force our army out of the camp to fight! ”

Zhang Shen also thought of this factor, he rolled his eyes, and said: "There are 100,000 troops in Handan City, if Your Majesty can ......" Before he finished speaking, Li Yu interrupted: "Don't count on Your Majesty!" As you said just now, it is impossible for Your Majesty to send the 100,000 defenders of Handan out of the city, and even if we die in battle under the city of Handan, not a single soldier in the city will come out to help me

Wait! "Li Yu and Zhang Shen can worship the great Sima and the general, and they are naturally Wang Lang's henchmen, and since they are confidants, they naturally know Wang Lang very well. Listening to Li Yu's words, Zhang Shen couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Handan and my department."

, close at hand, Handan 100,000 troops, our more than 100,000 troops, a total of more than 200,000, but Liu Xiu District 100,000 people were so frightened that they couldn't move, and they couldn't even transport grain and grass. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shen held his forehead weakly. Now he felt as if he was trapped in the desert, on the verge of dying of thirst, but he could see the water source in front of him, but he just couldn't climb over.

The next day, Li Yujun ran out of food. Three days later, Li Yujun began to slaughter war horses in the camp, and after five days, Li Yujun finally couldn't hold on, and he sent someone to send a final letter for help to Wang Lang.

In the letter, Li Yu made it clear that the whole army had been out of food for many days, the army's morale was turbulent, and he could not wait any longer, and he would command the whole army and march to Handan.

Li Yu's letter is both like a letter for help and a farewell letter. After Wang Lang read the letter, he was deeply moved and couldn't help but burst into tears.

But let him send troops out of the city to meet Li Yujun, he couldn't and didn't dare.

There are only these 100,000 defenders in Handan City, which is also his last talisman, send the city to meet Li Yujun, what if Xie Bow leads the army to attack? And what if the whole army is wiped out? Who will be able to protect him in the future?

A soldier bears a bear, and a strong bears a nest. Wang Lang is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the ministers below are not much better than him.

When a person has nothing, he is not afraid of anything, and his courage can be greater than the sky, but when he has everything, he will look forward and backward, afraid of death, afraid of losing everything that is hard-won, and his courage is smaller than the nose of a needle.

This is human nature, and it also perfectly interprets the mentality of Wang Lang and others at this time.

Li Yu and Zhang Shen were forced to helpless, so they could only lead the hungry soldiers of the whole army out of the camp and march in the direction of Handan.

As they expected, when they learned that Li Yu and Zhang Shen finally couldn't stand it anymore and led the whole army out of the camp, Liu Xiu was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to leave the camp to block Li Yubu.

One of the two armies marched from north to south and went straight to Handan, and the other advanced from west to east to intercept each other. The two armies met five miles north of Handan.

Now the morale of the two armies is no longer comparable. In the Han army led by Liu Xiu, the morale of the soldiers was high, and their waists were straight and straight, murderous, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

On the other side, Wang Langjun, led by Li Yu and Zhang Shen, was skewed in armor, and some of the low-level soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't stand steadily, their eyes were dizzy, and their bodies were shaking back and forth.

The battlefield of the two armies is only five miles away from Handan, as long as you stand on the head of the city, you can see the battlefield of the two sides fighting, but Handan City, which has an army of 100,000 troops, is closed at the city gate, and not a single soldier has left the city to respond.

Liu Xiujun was ready for battle and did not take the initiative to attack. It is not him who is in a hurry now, and the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to Li Yujun.

At this time, Li Yu and Zhang Shen were sitting in the Chinese army, and the two were riding on horses, both stretching their necks, looking at Handan City behind Liu Xiujun.

Now how they hope to kill a large army from Handan City, cooperate with their own side, and flank Liu Xiujun in front and back.

The two of them looked forward to it, but unfortunately, time passed minute by minute, and the two didn't wait for anything.

Li Yu suddenly burst out laughing, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and said, "That's it!" Today's battle, for you and me, may be a battle to the death. ”

Zhang Shen's heart was sour, his eyes were wet and red, and he said: "Now that the matter is over, I can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

Li Yu didn't wait any longer, waved the order flag in his hand forward, and shouted: "Order the whole army to beat the drums and march!" ”

With Li Yu's order, there were bursts of drums in Wang Langjun's camp. I don't know if it's an illusion, or if it has something to do with the internal atmosphere of Wang Langjun, the drums in the army at this time seem to be weak.

The drums sounded, and the soldiers in the front row began to march forward in unison, followed by the second row of phalanxes and the third row of phalanxes.

Wang Langjun, with more than 100,000 people, has hundreds of small squares inside, and hundreds of small squares are combined into an overwhelming large square.

Advancing in unison, the sound of rumbling footsteps alone could be heard far away, and the momentum was amazing.

Liu Xiu looked at Wang Langjun who was advancing towards him, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said, "The battle of trapped beasts!" As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and said, "Beat the drum!" ”

Soon, the drums also sounded on Liu Xiujun's side, and compared with Wang Langjun's drums, Liu Xiujun's drums were beating loudly.

"Ho-" The generals of the phalanx shouted one after another, and then Liu Xiujun's phalanx also began to move forward. The two sides went in opposite directions, and soon they were less than a hundred paces apart. This has come into range of archers.

The archers of the army twisted their bows and arrows and fired arrows at the enemy on the opposite side, while the soldiers raised their shields and prepared to defend themselves against the enemy's arrows.

Liu Xiujun's arrow array smashed into Wang Langjun's camp solidly, and the arrow array fell, dense as black raindrops, crackling sounds, endlessly, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow, screaming and falling to the ground.

And Wang Langjun's arrow array smashed on the edge of Liu Xiujun. Half of the arrows smashed into Liu Xiujun's front row, and the other half of the arrows landed outside the phalanx.

You must know that the soldiers in the front row of the camp are all heavy shield soldiers, the shields are large and heavy, and the arrow array is shot into the camp of the heavy shield soldiers, and the lethality is really minimal, and they are basically all blocked by the shield array.

In the ancient army, the status of archers was equivalent to the special forces of modern troops, which belonged to a scarce type of troops, and their treatment was naturally better than that of ordinary soldiers.

But now, even the archers of Wang Lang's army are weak, and the situation of the ordinary soldiers below can be imagined.

Realizing this, Liu Xiujun's soldiers were more morale. People's eyes shimmer brightly, and they move forward faster.

Li Yu and Zhang Shen are not incompetent people, the two sides are just competing in the arrow array, and they have already shown an obvious gap.

The eyes of the two invariably turned to Handan City again, and they silently prayed in their hearts that Wang Lang would send troops to help. Even if he doesn't send out all the 100,000 troops and only sends 10,000 or 20,000 people, he can still make Liu Xiubu difficult to take care of, not only can greatly reduce the pressure on his own side, but may even turn defeat into victory!
