Chapter 288: Cleverly setting up an empty city and fighting a last-ditch battle [Please subscribe]

The sky was just bright and dim.

After the rain, the sky clears, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth.

Zhao Hao woke up from the bed. His mind was still confused. He only heard someone say: "Sir, are you awake?"

"Um?"

When Zhao Hao heard this voice, his heart was shocked, and he immediately realized that it was Mond's voice.

Neither he nor Mond was dead, so he must have broken through the encirclement.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. When he looked at Mond, he saw that his chest and right arm were covered with wound cloth. He couldn't help but frown and asked in a low voice: "Where is this?"

"Chencang."

Mond replied.

"Then Han Xin and the others..."

"We are all alive! It was Captain Guo who saved us!"

really!

The master is indeed here!

How did he know that I was in danger? Was it his senior sister who informed him?

As expected, senior sister will not ignore her classmates!

"Where is my master?" Zhao Hao continued to ask.

Mond replied: "I went to move the reinforcements myself!"

"That Xiang Yu and the others..."

"Report——The rebels have arrived at the city!"

Before Zhao Hao could finish his question, a warning sound suddenly came from the door.

Zhao Hao and Meng looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.

At this time, under Chencang City.

Xiang Yu was riding a horse, holding an iron halberd in his hand, pointing at Zhao Hao on the wall of Chencang, and yelled: "Zhao Hao, son, Han Xin can't protect you, open the city gate quickly, and you will die quickly!"

"Child Zhao Hao, come out and die quickly!"

Tens of thousands of rebels shouted in unison, deafeningly loud, as if there were tens of thousands of them, especially arrogant.

But no one in the city responded to them.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu continued to shout: "Han Xin, the dog thief, comes out to fight if he has the ability, but Zhao Hao, my son, doesn't come out and die..."

"Heads in the city, how dare you be killed by me?"

"Hahaha--!"

The city was filled with laughter.

Not long after, Zhao Hao led a group of people to the city wall. Seeing Xiang Yu being so arrogant, he couldn't help but frown.

Why...there are suddenly fewer people?

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.

At that moment, Yang Duanhe couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:

"This is unreasonable, Young Master, let me lead a thousand people to fight with him for a while!"

Wuya echoed: "I'll go with you!"

He knew that Yang Duanhe was not Xiang Yu's opponent, so he wanted to help Yang Duanhe.

Even if Xiang Yu cannot be defeated, Yang Duanhe's life can be saved and his morale can be improved.

But Han Xin raised his hand to stop them: "Wait a minute!"

"Um?"

Yang Duan and the other two were stunned and looked at Han Xin with confusion.

Mond and others also turned around and stared.

They knew that Han Xin was resourceful and good at leading troops, so they listened silently.

But Han Xin shook his head seriously: "It is not appropriate to go out of the city to fight at this time!"

"Why is this?"

Yang Duan and the two of them were puzzled.

Han Xin solemnly explained: "Xiang Yu's troops are all infantry and cavalry and have no siege weapons. This is also the reason why he does not attack the city forcibly because of his superior strength. If you rush out of the city to fight, you will play into his hands."

"Does Lieutenant Han have any countermeasures?" Yang Duanhe asked.

Han Xin glanced at him and sighed: "We fell into their trick before and thought there were fifty or sixty thousand people. Now it seems that there are only twenty thousand people at most. Of these twenty thousand people, Xiang Yu only brought ten thousand."

Man, where did the rest of them go?"

"this……"

Hearing this, Yang Duanhe looked ashamed.

It was he who told Han Xin that there were 50,000 to 60,000 rebels, so Han Xin believed it, missed the opportunity to counterattack, switched offense to defense, and fell into the current situation step by step.

"You mean, Meng De led a part of the rebels to block our way?" Zhao Hao suddenly said.

Han Xin glanced at him and muttered:

"We have only two retreats, one is to join His Majesty, the other is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Now that Xiang Yu is blocked here, we can only stand firm and wait for rescue;

Xiang Yu is a general, he couldn't have imagined that if my guess is correct, Meng De should have led a part of the rebels and blocked the Zhouzhi River crossing, making it impossible to return to Xianyang."

"oh?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yang Duanhe nodded and agreed:

"This inference is reasonable. If it were me, I would definitely arrange it this way. Whether there are 10,000 people or 20,000 people, we will have an advantage."

In fact, Mond also felt that Han Xin's analysis was reasonable, but...

Mond wondered: "We have less than 4,000 people now. Including the defenders of Chencang County, there are only more than 5,000 people. How can we face the enemy?"

"If the difference is only in numbers, five thousand versus ten thousand, there may not be a chance of winning. But with ten thousand people against Xiang Yu, it is really difficult to win."

Han Xin said truthfully.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.

At this time, Zhao Hao asked coldly: "If I have a way to hold Xiang Yu back, do you have a way to deal with Meng De?"

"Um?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, wondering who Zhao Hao was talking to.

But Zhao Hao turned his attention to Han Xin.

Han Xin squinted his eyes and frowned: "What do you mean, Master?"

"Nothing else, I just want to know Xiang Yu. Doesn't he want to kill me? Then let him kill me!"

"Ah? This..."

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, everyone was suddenly startled and looked at Zhao Hao in confusion.

The Chencang County Magistrate was even more frightened and quickly dissuaded him: "Young master, please don't fall into danger!"

"Noisy!"

Zhao Hao interrupted him impatiently, and then stared at Han Xin: "If I support Xiang Yu, do you have a way to deal with Meng De?"

"this……"

Han Xin hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "How many troops and horses do you plan to give Han Xin?"

"How many do you want?" Zhao Hao asked in a funny tone.

Han Xin hesitated for a moment and replied seriously: "Of course, the more, the merrier!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Hao laughed for no reason, thinking that it was you who was really Han Xin's leader, the more the merrier!

But since you want it, I'll give it to you.

After suppressing his laughter, Zhao Hao reached out and patted Han Xin's butt under the strange looks of everyone, and said seriously: "I will hand over all five thousand soldiers and horses to you, are you sure?"
