Chapter 192 No Waiting For Nothing

"Xiaguan Shusun Tong, after seeing the Right General, please issue an order to immediately lead the beheading outside the tent!"

"What does Mr. Shusun mean? You risk going to the city to negotiate with the tyrannical Qin army. No matter what the result is, you will have no merits and no faults. Why do I want you to be executed?"

"The officials dare not deceive the right general. Gao Jing, the governor of Yingchuan County of the tyrant Qin, invited Xiaguan to enter the city to discuss the surrender of Kaicheng. In fact, it was just a trap. After Xiaguan entered the city, he was immediately arrested by Gao Jing's soldiers. Gao Jing's old thief also wanted to take Xiaguan to the top of Yangdi City and killed (dismembered) and use Xiaguan's blood to pay tribute to the tyrant Qin court that he was foolish and loyal."

"Is there such a thing? How did you come back sir?"

"This is also the reason why the lower officials asked for death from the right general. The lower officials were not afraid of death. They could die loyally for the right general. The lower officials died even more. Although they were still honored to die. However, in order to continue to serve the right general, they continued to assist the right general overthrow the tyrant Qin and revived the Chu State. The lower officials were unwilling to be willing to do so. They had no choice but to turn black and white into black. They said many heart-blame words in front of the old thief Gao Jing, and they pretended that the lower officials were forced to join the right general's tent. They still missed the tyrant Qin in their hearts, and they also said some very disrespectful words to you. This made the old thief Gao Jing believe it and release the lower officials out of the city."

Not to mention, Mr. Shusun is really an open and straightforward moral gentleman. After he was lucky enough to get his life back, he returned to the Young Marshal's military camp without any hesitation. He immediately reported Xiang Kang truthfully the lie he had told Gao Jing. He did not hide the disrespectful words he said to Xiang Kang behind his back, and honestly told Xiang Kang to know. The result was exactly the same as Mr. Shusun expected. Xiang Kang, who was very reasonable, did not mind such a small matter. Before Mr. Shusun finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, a small matter. As long as you can come back safely, what can you say a few words that are disrespectful to me behind your back?"

"I thank General You for your kindness, but the lower official also committed a serious crime. He had to report to the right general that in order to win the trust of Gao Jing's old thief, the lower official was brave enough to give the garrison drawings of our army camp to Gao Jing's old thief."

Mr. Shusun was still honest and honest, and took the initiative to admit that he had committed the crime of betraying the important military information of the Young Marshal Army. As a result, Xiang Kang's face finally changed a little. Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and others next to him also turned a little darker. Fortunately, Mr. Shusun immediately reported that he had some plans to do so, and wanted to take the opportunity to lure Gao Jing to send troops to sneak attack the Young Marshal Army's camp, so that the Young Marshal Army could set up a trap to ambush the Qin army out of the city. Then he introduced his brilliant plan and said that Gao Jing had been deceived and decided to send troops to rob the camp tonight. He asked Xiang Kang to prepare early and wipe out the Qin army in Yangdi who had sneaked out of the city tonight.

Naturally, when Xiang Kang heard this, he was worried that the strong attack on the city would suffer too much loss, and quickly said, "There are such good things? Hurry, Mr. Sun, tell me the details of this matter carefully, the more careful the better."

Following Xiang Kang's instructions, Mr. Shusun then believed the matter carefully and stated it carefully, and even some irrelevant details were not missed. Xiang Kang was of course even more happy when he heard it, and said, "If the tyrant Qin army really leaves the city tonight, then you will make great contributions for us. This general must reward you heavily!"

Mr. Shusun hurriedly thanked, but unfortunately, Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping and others next to him frowned. Li Shiqi, who was a Confucian scholar with Mr. Shusun, also said directly: "Right General, this matter is not that simple, right? As the emperor of a county, how could he easily believe Mr. Shusun's words? He would be moved by his few words and he hastily decided to venture out of the city to sneak attack our camp tonight? I was worried that Gao Jing might be playing hard to get and pretending to be trapped."

"Old man, did I dig your ancestral grave or threw your son into a well? Why did I always go against me? I used to force me to take risks in the city, but now I have made meritorious service and I doubt the authenticity of my contributions?"

Mr. Shusun was furious, but he was afraid that Xiang Kang was at the scene and did not dare to attack immediately. Fortunately, Xiang Kang did not erase Mr. Shusun's achievements because of Li Shiqi's concerns. He also smiled and said, "What Mr. Li said is very true. The old thief Gao Jing may be playing hard to get and pretending to be trapped, but it doesn't matter, this has little impact."

After saying that, Xiang Kang immediately sent someone to Uncle Xuan to meet. Then, after Uncle Zhou arrived at the Central Army's tent, Xiang Kang had just finished telling the situation, Uncle Zhou was immediately overjoyed and said: "Good opportunity! No matter whether the tyrant Qin army pretended to be trapped or whether they would play hard to get, this is a great opportunity for us to take the opportunity to defeat the enemy."

"What does General Zhou mean?" Li Shiqi asked in surprise: "If the tyrant Qin army pretended to be trapped, then their camp robbery will definitely be fake tonight. It is true that other plans are true. We cannot predict the enemy's actions, and then there will be a great opportunity to take the opportunity to defeat the enemy?"

Xiang Kang and Uncle Zhou laughed together, and then Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, we don't need to know the true intentions and actions of the tyrant Qin army in advance. We only need the tyrant Qin army to leave the city. The difference in strength and weakness is huge. As long as we are prepared in advance, the tyrant Qin army will play a hundred tricks and will be destined to die in vain when we come to us!"

Li Shiqi was stunned, and Uncle Zhou was impatient and immediately said to Xiang Kang: "Right General, the Korean soldiers and horses obeyed your orders. They would go to the south gate and the east gate to knock drums and gongs at night to disturb the defenders on the city. If the tyrant Qin army leaves the city to attack at night, they will definitely not go to the south gate or the east gate to exit the city. The terrain outside the north gate is narrow, and the troops are not changed. The road to attack at night is also far away. The tyrant Qin army is not likely to go to the north gate of Yangdi. Only the tyrant Qin army is the most convenient for the tyrant Qin army to exit the city. We should arrange tactics in advance to ensure that we can annihilate the tyrant Qin army's out of the city."

Xiang Kang smiled and nodded with a ferocious expression, saying, "At worst, I can wait for a night in vain, but this opportunity must not be missed!"

…………

Li Shiqi's concern was right. Although he was impulsive, he adopted the suggestion put forward by Mr. Shusun and decided to risk his attack on the young commander's camp. However, after sending Mr. Shusun out of the city, Gao Jing excitedly summoned the Qin generals to discuss the sneak attack tactics. A calm Qin general raised questions and said: "County Master, isn't it too risky to just rely on the one-sided words of the thief army envoy to snatch the camp?

"Monday Master, the last general also felt that it was too dangerous." Another calm general of the Qin army also said: "Although the uncle Sun Tong kept saying that he was still loyal to the Qin Dynasty, but people's hearts were all out of their minds. Who can guarantee that he made up a fool of himself in order to survive? If this is true, he went back and told Xiang Kang's rebel thieves again. Xiang Kang's rebel thieves set up traps in advance waiting for us to get into it. Wouldn't our camp army be in danger?"

The words of the two generals finally made Gao Jing calmer. After careful consideration, Gao Jing couldn't help but feel a little upset, because Gao Jing didn't dare to guarantee whether Shu Sun Tong was lying to him. However, after thinking for a while, for the sake of face, he was unwilling to miss the only opportunity to protect Yang Di. Gao Jing still said with a tough bullet: "Don't worry, Shu Sun Tong is my old friend. I know that he will never be willing to join the thieves. Moreover, he has made a great oath and will never go back on his word."

After saying that, Gao Jing also said: "We must not miss this opportunity. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is large and we are few. If we cannot seize this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, completely reverse the situation, and continue to stalemate, Yangdi will be defeated by the Chu and Han thieves army sooner or later. Therefore, we must take advantage of this risk and fight with the Chu and Han thieves army to the death, so that we can have a chance to protect Yangdi and our army."

Seeing Gao Jing insisting, the two Qin generals no longer objected, but said again: "Monday Master, since that's the case, we'd better divide the camp robbery army into two teams. The front team is responsible for sneak attacking the thief army camp and the back team is responsible for responding. If the situation is wrong, you can also withdraw from the city to defend the city immediately."

Gao Jing certainly would not refuse such caution suggestions. At that moment, Gao Jing and the generals of the Qin army quickly agreed on the tactics of robbing the camp and decided to send two thousand troops to the west gate of Yangdi to go out of the city at night and sneak attack the Young Marshal's Army camp located in the south of Yangdi City. Before and after, the front team was divided, 500 people from the front team were responsible for sneaking into the camp gate. If the progress went smoothly, the back team followed the camp and expanded the results. If the progress was not smooth, or the Young Marshal's Army was prepared in advance, the main force of the back team immediately retreated to the west gate of Yangdi to return to the city, and the front team departed from the east gate to the north gate to enter the city, so as to attract the pursuers of the Young Marshal's Army and avoid the main force being severely damaged.

After the tactics were decided, the Qin army quickly prepared for the night battle. However, as the sky gradually became dark, Gao Jing gradually retreated and planned to give up the night attack plan more than once and use all his troops to defend the city. But as that said, this was indeed the only chance for the Yangdi Qin army to turn defeat into victory. If you miss it, the young commander army with overwhelming strength would be prepared to attack the city and officially launch a full-scale attack. The Yangdi Qin army was still destined to escape the defeat of the city. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Gao Jing gritted his teeth and decided to send troops according to the original plan and take a risk to take a big bet.

"Master Confucius, please be sure to bless your disciple Shusun with a clear message and trust, help me temporarily stabilize Xiang Kang's traitor and give me the opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If you succeed tonight, I will report to the emperor and ask the emperor to pay more attention to your Confucian disciples."

After praying silently to Kong Laoer, at the second and third updates, Gao Jing, who was over 50 years old, personally took two thousand Qin soldiers out of the city from Yangdi West Gate. With the cover of the night, he quietly touched the Young Marshal's Army Camp located in the south of Yangdi City. Fortunately, the Han army teams that had to run to the city every once in a while were joking drums and harassed each other were all outside the South Gate and East Gate of Yangdi. The whereabouts of the Qin army were not noticed. The Qin army teams, which were about a distance away from each other, were smoothly touching the Young Marshal's Army camp, which was not much lighted.

When the chung was ringing in the third hour, the Qin army front team lurking outside the Young Marshal's military camp immediately took action. Under the cover of the night, quietly touched the gate of the Young Marshal's military camp, tried not to make a sound, and carefully put it on the ground to open the camp door. As a result, when the camp door was pushed open, the sentry of the Young Marshal's military sleeping beside the door woke up and rushed into the camp yelling and rushing into the camp. At the same time, the Qin army front team was overjoyed and immediately rushed into the camp yelling together, and rushed to the food and grass storage position of the Young Marshal's military without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the Qin soldiers behind him were of course very happy. They couldn't wait to ask Gao Jing to order a charge immediately, but Gao Jing was very calm and said, "You can't hurry, let's see the situation."

Gao Jing's calmness saved the main force of the Qin army's rear team. Before he finished speaking, countless war drums were already beating in the middle camp of the Young Marshal's army, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had broken. Then, the front battalion of the Young Marshal's army immediately sounded loudly, and there was an army on both sides of the left and right, rushing towards the front team of the Qin army like a tide. When the Qin army's front team was shocked, he hurriedly shouted and pulled his feet to escape. Gao Jing behind was also pale and shouted without thinking, "I've fallen into the trap! Retreat!"

The Qin army's rear team turned around in a hurry. Gao Jing quickly turned around and didn't forget to greet his old friend Shusun Tong loudly, and roared wildly: "Shusun Tong, my son, I must kill you, shameless villain with your own hands!"

The Qin army's back team had just begun to escape, and the gate of the Xiying gate of the Young Commander's Army had already opened at night. A team of Young Commander's cavalry rushed out on torches and shouted to the north. Gao Jing was shocked and could only yelled quickly: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry back to Ximen!"

Fortunately, the dark night covered the whereabouts of the Qin army's rear team. The sound of war drums in the Young Marshal's barracks and the shouts of the front camp also covered the sounds of the Qin army's rear team. The Qin army's rear team, which had no torches, was not quickly discovered by the Young Marshal's cavalry. They were still familiar with the terrain and quickly retreated to the vicinity of the west gate of Yangdi. However, just as the Qin army's rear team was rolling and crawling towards the city gate, the Qin army soldiers running in the front suddenly screamed like pigs, "There is a thief!"

The book shows that in order to ensure the annihilation of the Qin army's out-of-city army, Xiang Kang arranged in advance that Zhonglimei led two thousand troops out of the camp after dark. He took advantage of the night to ambush far outside the west gate of Yangdi, without turbulence, nor to send scouts to explore the enemy situation, and tried to avoid exposing his whereabouts. He still rushed to the west gate of Yangdi when he heard the sound of war drums in the Young Marshal's army, cutting off the Qin army's way back to the city. As a result, this move was indeed a miraculous effect. The Qin army's back team, who was panicked, collided with the Zhonglimei army who had just arrived at the west gate of Yangdi, and was immediately pulled into a close-up melee by the Young Marshal's army.

At this time, the young generals cavalry who heard the shouts of killing had already chased him and rushed to the Qin army's back team from behind. The Qin army soldiers were in a panic and their troops were at a disadvantage. They were soon killed by the young generals. Countless soldiers were forced to jump off the moat and swim across the river to escape in the cold winter. Gao Jing, who was unwilling to die, also took off his armor, jumped into the cold and bone-breathing moat, and swam to the opposite bank of the moat. However, the young generals under Zhonglimei were also crazy. Regardless of the Qin army soldiers on the city wall, they rushed across the moat from the bridge and went to the other bank of the moat to chase the Qin army soldiers, and were determined to eliminate the enemy outside the city to reduce the resistance to attack.

Gao Jing was lucky. After swimming across the river in chaos, not only was the young general's soldiers immediately blocked by the young general's soldiers, but he quickly grabbed a rope that was put down from the city and fled to the city wall. Unfortunately, most of the Qin soldiers were in great danger. They were either cut off to death by the young general's army on the bank of the moat, or when they were on the city, they were stabbed to death by the young general's soldiers with a spear when they were upstairs, and were directly pulled down from the city wall by the young general's soldiers, and then pecked to death by the wild spears. Only thirty or forty people were as lucky as Gao Jing, and they could use the rope to help escape the city wall.

The Qin army soldiers on the other side of the moat ended even worse. Many people were directly trampled into meat sauce by the young commander's cavalry's horse hooves, and more soldiers were hacked to death by the young commander's army, and it was useless to escape. Whenever the young commander's cavalry saw the Qin army escape from the battlefield, they immediately rushed up and greeted them with a spear and trampled back and forth. The Qin army soldiers who could play a huge role in defending the city screamed endlessly, while the young commander's soldiers kept roaring, and their eyes were red and they would never let any enemy go.

On the contrary, the situation of the Qin army's front team was better. According to the original plan, after the Qin army's front team escaped from the Young Marshal's Army camp, they immediately rolled and crawled away from the East Gate. While they were still running, they accidentally bumped into a Korean army squad that performed harassment tactics. They yelled and cut down and poked many Korean troops, achieving the only result of this night attack. They were not quickly caught up by the Young Marshal's army's pursuers, and most of them were able to successfully escape near the North Gate of Yangdi.

But it was only here that. Although the distance was far away, there was little hope for the Qin army to flee to Yangdi North Gate. However, Xiang Kang, who had sufficient troops, sent a thousand troops north and ambushed near Yangdi North Gate in advance. Therefore, the front army of the Qin army still failed to escape the misfortune of being intercepted by the Young Marshal's Army. He was also attacked by the Young Marshal's Army and was almost completely wiped out. Less than thirty people were lucky enough to rely on ropes to help escape to the city wall. The Qin army's defense force was also severely damaged.

The strength was too disparity, and there was no suspense about the outcome. Xiang Kang just issued a general attack order and no longer cared about the progress of the war. He was still very relieved to take a nap in the central army's tent. When it was dawn, when the young generals returned to Xiang Kang to hand over the orders one after another, Xiang Kang just asked how many of the winners were. After learning that his own soldiers almost wiped out the Qin army out of the city, there were very few soldiers who fled back to the city. Xiang Kang smiled relaxedly and said, "Very good, we will definitely be much easier when we attack the city now."

But there are also annoying things. When it was clear, Han Cheng and Zhang Liang visited Xiang Kang. In addition to congratulating Xiang Kang, they also complained in their words, blaming Xiang Kang for not informing them in advance and preparing in advance, so that they could pick some cheap things in the night battle yesterday. Xiang Kang had no choice but to smile and said with a wry smile: "King Han, Uncle Zhang, I was not sure about this opportunity last night. I didn't inform you, and I didn't want you to work hard like us. It might be a waste of time."

After saying that, Xiang Kang told Han Cheng and Zhang Liang the details of the matter, and then said clearly: "Although I was ready for an ambush, I was also prepared for a hard work in vain, because I dared not guarantee whether the old man Gao Jing would regret it afterwards. He felt that he was too risky to give up the night attack plan temporarily. He had no confidence at all. He didn't want you to wait like us, so he didn't know you. He really didn't expect that we would have such luck and actually deceive the tyrannical Qin army out of the city."

Han Cheng and Zhang Liang were speechless together, and they had to admire Xiang Kang's luck. The envoys sent by him were blindly uttering nonsense, and they could fool the Qin army in Yangdi to leave the city and die. Then, after complimenting Xiang Kang's Hong Fu Qitian Queen, Han Cheng said unwillingly: "General Right, during the night battle last night, my soldiers were not lucky. A garrison accidentally bumped into the defeated soldiers of the tyrant Qin army and killed 16 people by them. In addition, the tyrant Qin army in Yangdi shot and killed my uncle Han Yang, who was as close as the sea of ​​hatred as our Korean soldiers. When siege, he asked the Right General to agree and let our Korean soldiers serve as the vanguard of the siege, and first launched an attack to avenge our soldiers and Han Yang's siege."
