The Hanzhou Army is busy preparing for the siege tonight. The nearly 20,000 troops who have surrendered are also busy adapting. They are using the rules of the Hanzhou Army. Official positions are determined by competition. It is simple and crude, but it is loved by the soldiers. This
This method also has the advantage of eliminating incompetent and mediocre officials, especially those who rely on connections.
Only those who fight with their own abilities will gain support.
After such reorganization, the army will be more united and more effective.
After Qin Huaidao had dinner with Yuzhang and his children, he walked over to the editing site to watch without incident. Many people became more active when they saw Qin Huaidao coming over, and the competition was ruthless.
As for tonight's attack on the city, since it was left to Xu Shiji, I would naturally not interfere with it. The people who were suspected were not used, and the people who were employed were not suspected.
Seeing the exciting competition, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Well done, you are ruthless, keep up the good work, I will be optimistic about you."
"If you're going to lose, hurry up, grab your waist and throw him!"
"Hey, where are you going to kick? Be careful, you're going to die!"
"Hold your legs, don't bite!"
"Why is there no strength? What a pity!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone saw that Qin Huaidao, who was the most respected and noble king of the Han Dynasty, was even more friendly and easy-going in his rough language. They burst into laughter, followed by booing and shouting, and were extremely happy.
"Report——"
Suddenly, a guard in golden clothes came on horseback, cupped his fist and said: "Report to the King of Han, a cavalry force of about 3,000 people suddenly came out of the city. They tried to escape, but were blocked."
"Want to run?"
Qin Huaidao immediately thought of something and asked: "Can you clearly see who is leading the army?"
"I don't know, but everyone in the army is armored and well-equipped."
"Those should be Governor Lu's family soldiers."
Zhang Xing came over and said, seeing Qin Huaidao looking over with confusion, he quickly explained: "King Han, Qinzhou only has 5,000 cavalry. The last time we went out of the city, we lost 2,000. The remaining 3,000 or so are all soldiers of Governor Lu and are not in the imperial court.
They are considered private soldiers, but they have strong fighting ability and good equipment. Governor Lu must be trying to escape."
Qinzhou has long been surrounded by a large army. Although the three thousand cavalry are highly mobile, they cannot get out.
Qin Huaidao had no doubt about Xu Shiji's ability and asked: "How many will be killed?"
"Kill about half of them, and the rest will escape back to the city." Jin Yiwei added.
"I am ordering the British Lord not to let anyone go. I will rest in Qinzhou tonight."
"Follow the order!" Jin Yiwei pulled the horse's head and galloped away.
The British government is deploying tonight's siege plan. There is a map spread out on the table. It was drawn based on Zhang Xing and Jiang Tong's dictation. How many people are deployed where, what is their combat strength, street distribution, military camps, and the governor's office.
Wait, it's all clearly marked.
After receiving the order from the Jin Yiwei, the British prince's face became more solemn. He looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, the King of Han is watching us. This battle must be won and casualties must be reduced. Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.
"Very good, go down and get ready."
Everyone left one after another. The British Duke thought for a while and hurriedly found the Chinese military tent. He learned that Qin Huaidao had gone to the north to watch the reorganization. He hurried over and saw Qin Huaidao shouting something excitedly from a distance and mingling with the soldiers.
No pretense, warm heart.
As a general, who doesn’t want the master he follows to be considerate of his subordinates?
"See the King of Han!" Xu Shiji quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"The British Lord is here, look, these bastards are ruthless and they are all good soldiers." Qin Huaidao said with an excited smile.
Xu Shiji observed and saw that everyone was not competing, they were just like enemies. Their attacks were not serious, but they were still restrained and did not cause any casualties. Such soldiers are bloody, which general would not like, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that they are all
The Imperial Imperial Army has a strong fighting force. Congratulations to the King of Han for getting another iron army. Can you allocate some to me?"
"Don't worry about this army. They came out on their own, not counting your military exploits. There are still 80,000 in Qinzhou City. How many you can capture is yours." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Do you really mean what the King of Han said?" Xu Shiji's eyes lit up, and he was worried that he had no place to replenish his troops.
"When did I lie to you?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically. The army in the central theater is mainly Tuyuhun people, with relatively few Tang people, which is a hidden danger. If we can capture Qinzhou, we can just add some Tang people to balance it.
Xu Shiji was overjoyed and continued: "King of Han, the siege plan has been finalized. I would like to ask the King of Han for approval."
"Forget it about the review, I said I would leave this battle to you, so why should I intervene again?"
"Thank you, King Han!"
Xu Shiji said with some excitement, this trust is too heavy. Although Qinzhou is small, there are 80,000 people in it. Who dares to leave it to one person with such confidence?
Xu Shiji couldn't help but think of the time when he worked for Li Er. Every battle plan had to be approved by Li Er before it could be executed. He might even intervene at any time during the execution, and the remote command was very passive. Therefore, he had to take the blame if he was defeated.
, so frustrated.
Looking at now, they don’t even ask about the battle plan. This is trust and even more respect!
A scholar dies for a confidant!
Xu Shiji bowed solemnly and said: "Don't worry, King Han. If you can't take Qinzhou, I will come to see you with my head raised."
With that said, Xu Shiji strode away with firm and sharp eyes!
…
Night fell unknowingly, and the world became dark.
The army walked out of the tent and quickly gathered, and a murderous atmosphere shot straight into the night sky.
The wind picked up, and the flags fluttered, as if to cheer up the soldiers.
There were no orders, no mobilizations, no drums roaring, the army remained silent and waited patiently.
Until it was completely dark, everyone took out a white cloth and tied it around their necks for identification, and moved forward silently, looking at the city with eyes full of desire and desire for military glory.
The Jin Yiwei had already sent four teams to infiltrate the city gate. Watching the advancing army until the general attack began, they took out explosive packets and piled them on the city gate, preparing to detonate them.
The defenders on the city wall also saw the advancing army. There were too many people and the pace was roaring. It was too difficult to hide it. Xu Shiji had no intention of hiding it. After so many days of harassment, the defenders in the city were already exhausted and their morale was low.
There's no need for a sneak attack, it's just like preparing to attack directly.
"I'm coming!"
"They're coming!"
"What should I do? Are you going to die?"
"I don't want to die yet!"
"Quick, go and report to the Governor!"
On the city wall, the defenders were in panic.
"boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion sounded, shaking the night sky and shattering the persistence of all the defenders.
The terrifying explosion fireball soared into the sky, roaring like a giant flaming beast, making people terrified.
The city gate was blown away by the blast wave, the rammed earth collapsed and fell, and even the city wall shook.
All the defenders had never seen such a terrible scene, and they were confused because they didn't know why.
Before everyone could react, terrible explosions sounded one after another in other directions.
All four city gates exploded.
"kill--"
I don't know who yelled.
The soldiers joined in one after another, shouting and killing each other, and poured into the city.
