Chapter 50 Battlefield Heroes

On August 29, the second year of the Second Qin Dynasty, it was sunny.

The hot and irritating summer is finally over, and the sun is not so dazzling. There were several heavy rains in the past two days, making the rammed earth wall a little soft. This situation is the most dangerous. Once Xiang Liang leads the main force to launch a fierce attack on Dingtao City, no one can have the confidence to hold on to the city.

For five or six consecutive days, Xiang Liang's Chu army's virtual and real tactics made people in Dingtao City panic. Zhang Ping and Dong Yi showed an anxious look on their faces. In the general's mansion in the city, there have been a constant stream of generals coming and going in and out in the past few days. Most of them went in with hope, but left with disappointment.

"The General is sick!"

"The General said yesterday that he would hand over the command to General Zhang of the Right Army."

Unfavorable news came one after another. When Zhang Han fell, the confidence of the defenders in Dingtao City collapsed. At this moment, the Chu army outside the city suddenly turned its finger and began to attack the Wei Liao camp outside the city. Wei Liao's army was good at maneuvering battles and was reluctant to defend the camp. After a crazy round of attacks, the Chu army finally successfully broke through the first barrier.

"Report that the enemy has broken through the first line of defense of the Northern Legion."

"Report, General Wei Liao requested reinforcements."

Zhang Ping, who temporarily succeeded Zhang Han, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. What should I do? For him, nothing is more anxious than now. Why did General Zhang Han not come early or late? It just came at a critical moment of this war. Although he had always been determined to become the commander of one side, it was definitely not now.

These days, according to Zhang Han's secret troops, Fu Ge's troops disappeared from the ground almost overnight in Dingtao City. They were settled in batches to the homes of some people Zhang Han had good sex in advance, and they became "family members".

When Fu Ge heard that Zhang Han was sick, he was being summoned to the city wall to transport stones and wood, and changed into ordinary costumes of the people, mixed with a group of unkempt refugees. Even acquaintances could not recognize who he was.

Fu Ge was not worried about Zhang Han's disease, but only admired it. A series of strategies. Based on Fu Ge's understanding of Zhang Han, in such a big enemy situation, if Zhang Han did not have the trick to defeat the enemy, he would have fought his life to supervise the battle. But now he handed over the command to Zhang Ping, which only shows that his illness was also a trick in this plan.

Ask: What would Xiang Liang think when he heard that Zhang Han fell ill? He would disbelief at the beginning and would send spies to confirm the news. When the news was confirmed, Xiang Liang would be ecstatic and would be full of confidence in himself. It is not a bad thing to have strong self-confidence, but if you are blindly confident, you will pay a heavy price, especially when you are the commander who commands thousands of troops on the battlefield.

"Splitting troops to reinforce General Wei Liao!" This was the final decision made by Zhang Ping.

When Fu Ge watched the imperial troops exit the city gate, all he had left was helpless sigh. Zhang Ping was just Zhang Ping, and he would never be his eldest brother Zhang Han. Xiang Liang's fierce attack on Wei Liao was just a false move. His real purpose must be Dingtao. Zhang Ping divided the elite troops to rescue Wei Liao, but he didn't know that this happened to be Xiang Liang's trap.

The battlefield is the stage for the main generals to fight.

Win and loss are only in one thought.

In the army that was pulling out of the city to reinforce, Fu Ge saw a gorgeous wide chariot inlaid with golden copper. It was surrounded by strong men with halberds, and in the middle it looked like a mobile "house" built of sandalwood. Fu Ge knew that it was the "chariot" of General Zhang Han. This chariot was built by the imperial court in order to commend his achievements after Zhang Han killed Chen Sheng. It was said that its complexity can be compared with the car that Emperor First Emperor patroled.

"The general went on a war with illness!"

"The General is brave!"

Zhang Han insisted on going out to fight and killing the enemy despite his illness. Such a "feat" made the soldiers of the empire particularly excited. They fearlessly sang the imperial war songs and set foot on the battlefield of death.

Fu Ge bent down and lifted a big rock and watched coldly as everything happened under the city. Zhang Han was implementing his plan step by step. Zhang Ping and Dong Yi led nearly 30,000 soldiers to reinforce Wei Liao this time. In this way, the defenders in Dingtao City were reduced to about 10,000. With this little force alone, once Xiang Liang turned his main attack target to Dingtao, the possibility of the city being destroyed will greatly increase.

Losing the commander and 30,000 elite soldiers, the highest-level general guarding Dingtao City was actually a commander under Zhang Ping. His morale was disintegrating and his morale was low. These soldiers who were still in the city were like children who were cruelly abandoned by their parents. No matter how they cried, they could not change their turn.

The troops were seriously insufficient, and the Imperial Army had to distribute weapons to the temporarily recruited "civilians" such as Fu Ge and others. The commander who led the troops hoped that these people could be armed and bravely repelled the rebels' attacks as bravely as during the Battle of Xiting. However, he forgot that now, Dingtao is not Xiting either.

On August 30, the final siege finally arrived.

The Chu army attacked. Fu Ge saw fiery red flags spread across the wilderness outside the city on the city tower. Countless soldiers shouted and waved their weapons to sprint. Their figures were getting closer and closer.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" Faced with the almost overwhelming enemy, the commanding officer had lost his calmness and shouted, completely ignoring that the enemy was still far away from the range of the crossbow.

Arrows flew and fell without power in front of the enemy's feet.

The rumbling roar was shaking the mountains. Fu Ge saw huge chariots and long ladders flashing dazzling light in the fiery sunset. They were closely guarded by shields and crossbowmen aiming at the city. Xiang Liang's troops were not those mobs holding wooden sticks, they were elite troops that could compete with the regular army of the Empire.

Soon, the Chu army crossed the moat, and siege ladders were laid on the city wall. Among the many rebels, Fu Ge saw Ying Bu and General Pu's flags rushing in front. Ying Bu - the masked man with crazy red eyes. Fu Ge sighed deeply. In front of such a powerful opponent, the army guarding the city had no chance.

"Kill!" A ladder fell down with a bang, and another ladder leaned against the city wall.

The Chu army attacked the Imperial Army's weak defenses one after another. At the same time, the powerful rushing car had reached the city gate. Under the embrace of dozens of large and round Chu soldiers, they continuously hit the solid Sandwood City Gate.
