Chapter 2671: Mao Sui cleverly withdrew Luo Hongxin, and Han Xin set up an ambush to kill Cao Shuang
As the strongest man in the armored sect, Zhu Hai was also a well-known master in the Central Plains. After joining Cao Cao under the recommendation of Wei Wuji, he was quickly valued with his own strength. However, in the end, he had not achieved any success and it was difficult to convince his subordinates.
Zhu Hai originally thought that if he could defeat Luo Hongxin, he could not only make contributions and establish prestige, but he was simply the best of both worlds, but he did not expect that the Qin army he would encounter was even stronger than him.
Although Luo Hongxin''s physical condition is not as good as Zhu Hai, and although the attack damages Zhu Hai is limited, his skills are beyond Zhu Hai.
Zhu Hai originally wanted to win by relying on his strong physique, but he didn''t expect to fall into Luo Hongxin''s trap, and was consumed by Luo Hongxin''s repeated attacks.
Now Zhu Hai is at a disadvantage. If he continues to fight, he may really have life worries. However, if he retreats, Luo Hongxin will be unstoppable, and the North Gate will probably be captured by the Qin army.
Zhu Hai is a loyal and loyal person, so he naturally does not want Kunyang to be defeated because of him.
But just as he made up his mind and was about to sacrifice his life to fight to the end, the voice of his friend Mao Sui came from not far away.
"Brother Zhu Hai, this general is fierce and should not be strong enough to fight. Please retreat first. You will have a plan to retreat."
Mao Sui was Mao Sui who recommended himself. He was also one of the hidden characters. After being born, he was implanted into Mao''s younger brother and had a strong personal relationship with Wei Wuji, Zhu Hai and others.
After hearing what Mao Sui said, Zhu Hai suddenly felt relieved. He knew that Mao Sui was both civil and military, and would not say that if he was not sure.
Zhu Hai trusted Mao Sui 100% and after he defeated Luo Hongxin with all his strength, he was ready to retreat as Mao Sui said.
But Luo Hongxin was not stupid either, so he would not let a master like Zhu Hai escape easily, so the two chased and fled on the north gate wall, but unknowingly entered the trap set by Mao Sui.
"Take the car, put it."
Mao Sui shouted.
Three hundred meters away, twenty catapults on the city tower immediately aimed at the area designated by Mao Sui and continuously projected stone bombs, and were preparing to kill Zhu Hai and Luo Hongxin.
Looking at the stone bullets everywhere, Luo Hongxin''s face changed instantly, and he immediately understood Mao Sui''s sinister intentions.
Zhu Hai is a physical cultivation, and he has cultivated a body of copper and iron bones. Even if he is hit by a stone bullet, it will not be fatal.
But he is different. His physique is far less powerful than Zhu Hai. If the stone bullet projected by the casting cart is seriously injured when he is hit on the front, he will definitely die on the spot.
Luo Hongxin didn''t care about chasing Zhu Hai anymore, so he saved his life under the rain of stone bullets. So he waved his spear with all his strength, either smashing the smashed stone bullets, or pulling them to other directions, or dodging them.
Mao Sui was extremely shocked when he saw Luo Hongxin walking around in the courtyard under the attack of the stone bullet, but he had other backup plans.
At this time, Zhu Hai had escaped from the covered area of ??the stone bullets, so Mao Sui decisively asked the stone catapult team to replace the stone bullets with tinder oil.
Luo Hongxin used a habitual shot, but when he saw that the shot was an oil barrel, it was too late to stop.
After Luo Hongxin broke the oil barrel, he was drenched by tinder oil, but he was isolated from the inner gauntlet and flowed down and did not touch him.
"not good."
Luo Hongxin shouted, but before he could react, hundreds of oil barrels smashed over and broke around him at the same time, and tincture oil splashed everywhere.
Luo Hongxin turned his head and ran towards the city wall without saying a word. But as soon as he ran two steps, several rockets shot over, and in an instant the entire area turned into a sea of ??fire.
"Brother Mao, you still have a trick. Why didn''t I expect to use fire to deal with Luo Hongxin?"
Zhu Hai said with admiration. In his opinion, Luo Hongxin, who is not a specialist in practicing external skills, would definitely not be able to withstand this situation.
A master of Luo Hongxin''s level, ordinary tincture oil will naturally not hurt him, but Mao Sui used strong tincture oil, which was several times higher than ordinary tincture oil. Even if he practiced external skills, he might not be able to withstand it.
Although Zhu Hai''s physique was strong, he could not withstand the calcination of fierce tinder. Luo Hongxin''s physique was not as good as him, and he was in the center of the fire, so there was no possibility of surviving.
Zhu Hai felt that Luo Hongxin would die, but Mao Sui, who was the initiator, still stared at the fire area not far away with a serious face.
He noticed that when Luo Hongxin broke the oil barrel, he instantly opened the inner gaunt coat. With this method to isolate the flames, he should not have died.
The next second, Luo Hongxin rushed out of the sea of ??fire and jumped off the city wall.
After landing, Luo Hongxin rolled forward a few times, then extinguished the fire on his body, but he still felt lingering fear.
In just a dozen seconds, his power consumption was comparable to dozens of rounds of battle with Zhu Hai.
The defense of the inner qi yarn coat is ultimately not as good as that of the qi armor. Although it can isolate the flames, the consumption of power has also increased sharply.
The reason why Luo Hongxin jumped directly into the city instead of killing Mao Sui and Zhu Hai was because he was afraid that Mao Sui would burn it again. If he really did it again, he would not have enough skills to escape from the fire.
Anyway, Luo Hongxin dared not stay in the area where Mao Sui was located on the city tower, so he could only seek other places as a breakthrough.
Seeing Luo Hongxin escape from the sea of ??fire, Zhu Hai and Mao Sui looked disappointed, but there was no other good way, so they could only expel the Qin soldiers on the city tower first.
After that, Luo Hongxin changed another area, but how could Mao Sui let him come here? He specially prepared fifty catapult cars and three hundred powerful crossbows for him. Under the fire-raising tactic, Luo Hongxin could not get up at all.
This kind of fire-gathering tactic is effective even for Sun Lingming of Kiwu 109, let alone Luo Hongxin of Kiwu 106.
During the Battle of Youzhou, Sun Lingming led a 5,000 army to attack Guangping City, but Li Ling was targeted by fire-raising tactics and was unable to climb the city tower. As a result, not only did he not capture Guangping City, but he also lost two thousand army, and Li Ling became famous because of this.
Although the fire-gathering tactics were not the first to be created by Li Ling, the record of repelling Sun Lingming was the best among the many fire-gathering tactics, so the fire-gathering tactics were familiar and promoted by the major princes.
Faced with Mao Sui''s fire-raising tactics, Luo Hongxin had no good idea, so he could only entangle with Mao Sui and send someone to report to Han Xin. Han Xin, who was in the rear, was not disappointed when he learned about it. He never thought of breaking Kunyang in one day, but just wanted to kill and injure the Wei army as much as possible, so he still asked Luo Hongxin to attack the North Gate and observe the mobilization of personnel in Kunyang City.
The Qin and Wei sides were still unable to decide the victory and defeat. Han Xin decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, which also made Xue Ju, Wei Wuji and others breathe a sigh of relief.
But after cleaning the battlefield, Xue Ju Wei Wuji and Wei generals couldn''t laugh, because the Wei army lost 3,000 troops in this battle alone, while the Qin army suffered less than 3,000 casualties.
If this situation continues, Kunyang City will be defeated by Han Xin in less than five days, which makes many people, including Xue Ju, extremely worried.
"General Xue, the loss on the first day would be so great, he was completely unprepared for the West and was caught off guard by Han Xin.
Now that our army has reacted and repelled the strongest wave of offensives of the Qin army, the subsequent defense will definitely be easier. ”
As soon as Wei Wuji said this, he immediately received the approval of all the generals. After all, the Wei army was caught off guard. If he was really prepared, the casualties might not be so great.
Mao Sui still showed concern on his face. He agreed with Wei Wuji''s words, but he always felt that the Qin army had a backup plan. After all, Han Xin, as the main general, had not appeared yet.
"Everyone, during the first day of siege, Han Xin only let Mi Houwang, Huang Tianxiang, Luo Hongxin and others attack the city, but he did not personally command it. Tomorrow, Japan and South Korea will definitely personally command the siege. At that time, the Qin army''s offensive will probably be even more fierce, so there will still be no slackness." Mao Sui said seriously.
As expected by Mao Sui, Han Xin did personally command the siege on the next day, and the morale and combat power of the Qin army also became stronger.
[Dingdong, Han Xin''s skill, "Soldier Immortal" effect 1 is activated, and when commanding 10,000 troops is commanded +1, when commanding 50,000 troops is commanded +2, when commanding 150,000 troops is commanded +3, when commanding 400,000 troops is commanded +4.
Han Xin commanded 40,000 troops, with the commander +1, and the current commander has risen to 104. 】
[Dingdong, Han Xin''s skill "Soldier Immortal" effect 3 is activated, and the military generals in the army are +2, and the combat power and morale of the entire army are improved...
Currently: Han Xin’s force has risen to force 84;
Huang Tianxiang''s military strength rose to 110;
…】
With the increase in Han Xin''s "Soldier Immortal", Huang Tianxiang''s martial arts value had reached 109 points without even opening a skill.
As for Mi Houwang and Luo Hongxin, yesterday''s consumption was a bit heavy, so Han Xin did not let them participate in the war and took a break to recover their physical strength.
The reason why Han Xin did not personally command the first day was actually because he had other tasks and led his troops to other places.
Han Xin predicts that after Ding Kunyang City was raided, it will definitely attract the attention of Xuchang Cao Bin. In a few days, Xiangcheng in the north and Dingling City in the east will send troops to support Kunyang.
In order to prevent the siege from being disturbed, Han Xin''s relatives went north, selected a site to set up an ambush, and asked Chen Qi and Zheng Lun to lead 4,000 troops to the east to set up an ambush on the way to Dingxiang to Kunyang.
After Han Xin set up an ambush in the north, he asked Gao Ming and Gao Jue brothers to preside over the ambush, while he himself rushed back to Kunyang to command the army under the protection of his personal guards.
Huang Tianxiang looked at Han Xin with a tired face, hesitated for a moment and said, "Governor-General, you haven''t seen each other for three days and three nights. Why don''t you let the last command in the future, you can take a rest first."
"General Huang, I have learned your kindness, but there are experts in Kunyang City, and you can''t handle it now.
Don''t worry, but I haven''t had a rest for three days, and I can still withstand it. After conquering Kunyang, it''s not too late to rest. ”
Han Xin said in high spirits, completely eliminating his previous fatigue, and then began to personally direct his siege.
Although Mi Houwang and Luo Hongxin did not participate in the war, Zhu Hai did not participate in the war on the Wei army. After all, the battle was so fierce on the first day and consumed too much physical strength. If you don’t rest, you can’t stand it.
Although Xue Ju still had enough energy, his situation was not good, so he divided part of the command and gave Wei Wuji, and the two of them guarded Kunyang together.
[Dingdong, Wei Wuji''s skill "Xinling" effect 3 will mobilize the entire army with force +1;
Currently: Wei Wuji''s military power has risen to 92;
Xue Ju''s force rose to force 108;
Xue Rengao''s force rose to 107;
…】
Wei Wuji once led the coalition forces of the five countries to defeat the Qin army, causing the Qin general Meng Ao to flee and seize the victory to attack Hangu Pass. The Qin army was closed and did not dare to fight again, and also left behind the "War Art of Wei Gongzi", which shows his ability to command troops.
Although "Xinling" brought 1 point increase to the Wei army, compared with "Soldier Immortal", it still has 1 point increase in force, not to mention that the Qin army has stronger morale and stronger combat power.
Therefore, compared with the first day, the situation faced by the Wei army not only did not improve, but became more difficult.
Seeing that Han Xin''s offensive was so fierce that the Kunyang defenders could not raise their heads at all, Xue Ju was worried that Kunyang would make a mistake in his hands, so he quickly sent a letter to Cao Bin for help.
When Cao Bin learned that Kunyang was about to lose his protection, he was naturally shocked. While quickly organizing troops to rescue Kunyang himself, he also ordered Xiahou Ba, the garrison commander of Xiangcheng, and Cao Shuang, the garrison commander of Dingling City, to lead his army to support Kunyang.
Cao Bin didn''t ask Cao Shuang and Xiahou Ba to defeat Han Xin, as long as he caused some trouble to the Qin army and made it impossible for the Qin army to attack Kunyang City with all his strength, but he didn''t know that his reaction was already expected by Han Xin.
Xiahou Ba, the commander of Xiangcheng, and Cao Shuang, the commander of Dingling City, each led 3,000 troops to come from the northeast, but they all encountered Han Xin''s ambush.
Xiahou Ba was more cautious and did not completely enter the ambush circle. Although nearly half of the army was damaged under Gao Ming and Gao Jue''s ambush, he also fled back to Xiangcheng with his other half.
Cao Shuang''s luck was not as good as Xiahou Ba. Not only was the three thousand soldiers under his command wiped out, but he himself did not have much strength to fight back against Chen Qi and Zheng Lun. In the end, he died tragically under Zheng Lun''s gun.
At this point, the connection between Kunyang and the northeast has been completely cut off by the Qin army, and there will be no more Cao army to support it in the short term.
