Chapter 737: March westward into Central Xinjiang, this battle will be won!
burn one's boats!
Without much hesitation, Han Xin defied all opinions and immediately ordered the dispatch of troops.
In addition to the two thousand soldiers who stayed at the pass, the other eight thousand soldiers brought armaments, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, crossbows, machine cannons, etc.
Get on the war horses and march out in full force!
Smoke and dust billowing, marching towards the west...
On the earth, Han Xin led his army and pointed his sword at the central border.
Like a long black dragon, it reveals its fangs and claws, trying to devour all living things!
The advance commander of the Maurya Dynasty, who had been monitoring the pass, also sensed something was wrong.
"What is the other party trying to do? He's heading towards Central Xinjiang..."
The general of the advance army couldn't help but be puzzled as he watched the Qin Empire troops rushing out of the pass and heading towards the west.
He couldn't guess the thoughts of the troops stationed at the pass for a while, and couldn't understand Han Xin's thoughts.
Not only him, but also other advance commanders and officers also showed confused looks.
Han Xin's operation was really too bold, and he actually turned from passive to active!
If you want to send troops to the central border, your enemy will be food...
Instead of standing firm and waiting for help, or retreating and giving up the pass.
"But no matter what these Qin Empire troops do, we just need to follow them closely!"
The general of the advance army thought for a while, then made a decision immediately, and ordered: "Leave five thousand soldiers to guard the Qin Empire troops who are still in the pass area."
"After a few days, when their food and grass are exhausted, you will attack directly and capture this pass!"
"The remaining five thousand soldiers will follow my general and the enemy troops heading to central Xinjiang. No matter what their plans are, they will harass and destroy them one by one..."
His idea is very simple: to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances and to follow suit.
Once the army of the Great Qin Empire has any plans, just destroy them!
"Here!"
All the generals under his command responded one after another and began to take action.
Five thousand troops stayed behind. Once the Great Qin Empire's garrison in the pass area ran out of food and grass and became weak, they would attack with all their strength and destroy them!
The 5,000-strong army followed Han Xin's westward army to prevent any unexpected events and to attack and cause destruction at any time...
The sun sets at dusk and the west wind blows.
Zhongjiang!
Heyang Domain, Chenfeng City.
Han Xin led his eight thousand troops and entered the jurisdiction of Chenfeng City.
Along the way, the Great Qin Empire's cavalry passed through villages and towns.
I wanted to plunder the noble estates in the countryside, but found that they were empty.
The Maurya Dynasty has been fortified and clear.
The common people in villages and towns everywhere, even if they were unwilling, were forced to leave by the Mauryan Dynasty government, city guards, etc. with swords on their necks!
Moreover, the Maurya Dynasty also used the Six Ministries of the Sky and the government to spread news among the people, manipulate public opinion, and attack the Qin Empire...
For example, the Qin Empire led its beasts to eat humans, and the Xia of the Qin Empire regarded themselves as human beings, and regarded other tribes as barbarians and inferior to beasts.
He treated the barbarians well, killed them, cooked them and fried them for food, used their skulls as wine cups and instruments for worshiping heaven and earth, and also beheaded their heads and built them as temples in the capital!
The barbarians were eaten alive, their skins were used to make drums and paintings, and their bones were used as mallets...
In short, you can smear it however you want. Except for one of the Jingguan stories, which is true, the rest are the customs of the barbarians of the grassland tribes, or are pure fabrications.
This resulted in the government and the Tianmu Six Ministries going deep into private propaganda.
The people in other territories feared the Qin Empire like a tiger!
Even though some people of the Maurya Dynasty came from Eastern Xinjiang and witnessed the behavior of the Qin Empire's army with their own eyes and knew that these were all lies, they were unable to do anything.
After all, if you dare to resist and promote opinions that are different from those of the government, you may be dead on the streets in the next moment!
Or he might be arrested by the government and city guards, and labeled as a traitor and surrender to the enemy...
Just when Han Xin's enthusiasm was waning and he realized that he might not be able to count on the estates of the nobles in the countryside, he would have to attack the city and plunder it.
"General, the enemy troops of the Maurya Dynasty in the rear are still following us!"
A general rode up on a war horse and said with a serious face, "How about I lead a thousand cavalry to charge them and force them back?"
"Oh!"
Han Xin smiled coldly and did not look back. He had known about this for a long time and had expected it.
"This is destined. When we leave from the pass, the enemy will definitely be suspicious and curious, and follow us!"
"If you lead the cavalry to charge forward, they will definitely retreat far away. When you join the army, they will definitely approach again."
"Don't worry about them, just move forward with all your heart!"
"If the enemy dares to harass the city during the siege, they will be crushed..."
The faces of the man and the surrounding generals also darkened when they heard this, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Those enemy troops were indeed able to do this.
They have lost their moral integrity and learned many strategies and tactics from their previous failed battles with the Qin Empire's army...
"Here!"
The general responded.
"The city ahead is Chenfeng City, let's massacre this place first tonight!"
Han Xin looked at the city less than ten miles away and sneered suddenly, his face extremely cold and stern.
"I heard that there are more than a dozen Mauryan nobles here who have accumulated tens of thousands of wealth, but they can be plundered!"
"good!"
All the soldiers beside him cheered and cheered.
In fact, Han Xin also made his own decision in choosing this city.
Central Xinjiang is stronger than the other four Xinjiang and is the core of the Mauryan Dynasty!
The strength of both the government and the city guards was far superior to that of Eastern Xinjiang.
Now it's just to plunder food and grass and solve the crisis.
Therefore, Han Xin does not attach much importance to whether he can win a fortress or a strong city...
He is a picky person and chose a small town!
Chenfeng City is the city closest to Eastern Xinjiang and has the weakest strength.
There are only two to three hundred government officers and soldiers, only two thousand city guards, and only about one thousand noble private soldiers combined. The three of them total more than three thousand...
"Even if they follow the enemy troops from behind and come to help, they are only as good as my subordinates!"
"The quality of the enemy's army is slightly inferior to that of Great Qin. Although the officers, soldiers and city guards are stronger than those in Eastern Xinjiang, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs to our army..."
"And the city wall is nothing more than a joke to the soldiers of the Qin Empire who have greatly increased their cultivation due to the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They can easily be crossed!"
"The Great Qin Empire's city defense formation was only created and used for more than a year. Such formations did not exist in the Mauryan Dynasty."
"Therefore, this battle must be won!"
Han Xin explained to his generals, and at the same time boosted the morale of the eight thousand soldiers in the army, saying: "The only thing we need to pay attention to is the three cities around Chenfeng City!"
Chapter completed!
