    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    For three days, everything was calm.

    The Qin army did not take any offensive, which also gave Liu Bang and Yingbu enough time to prepare.  After all, they only have 22,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. If a war really breaks out, they can only resist it by relying on the city.

    In the city, some buildings near the city wall have been demolished, and the wood and bricks have been transported to the city wall. After consolidating some old and damaged places, the rest are piled on the city wall.

    "Brother Liu, the wood and masonry prepared in the past few days should be enough for more than ten high-intensity city defense battles."

    On the city wall, Yingbu and Liu Bang were observing the work progress below on an arrow tower.  Because of their weak military strength, they have made arduous plans to defend the city for a long time.

    The timber and masonry from the demolished houses can be used to defend the city.  Coupled with the combined strength of the two of them, which is about 20,000, as long as they are not attacked by more than 100,000 enemy troops, it is entirely possible to hold on for ten days and a half.

    "It's almost done. Let the people below stop. Don't excessively damage the houses of the people in the city."

    Liu Bang nodded. In fact, this was to remain unchanged in response to ever-changing changes.  This time they may not necessarily fight the Qin army, just in case.  Now according to the news, when Zhang Han led a large army to attack Handan County, the Qin army here only had 50,000 people at most.

    Although there are still more troops than them.  But if they really fight, they may not be able to capture the city they hold on to.

    "A month has passed and five days have passed. Unfortunately, there is no chance to fight against the rumored Qin army this time. Otherwise, I really want to experience the power of the so-called invincible Qin Dynasty's cavalry!"

    Liu Bang responded directly to the militant next to him with a roll of his eyes.  In the past few days, he had finally figured out that the guy next to him was not a peaceful master at all.  If he hadn't clearly known that he had the overall situation in mind, he might have run over with his soldiers and horses to provoke the Qin army.

    But Liu Bang is different. He can avoid fighting as much as possible.  This time he was only assisting the Chu State, and there was no need to consume too much of his troops.

    That¡¯s it, four days in a row.  The weather began to change unpredictably, and the sky was always overcast, which made people feel very depressed.

    The dullness that lasted for nearly 10 days left Liu Bang's people alone.  The Chu soldiers under Yingbu were all a little drowsy.  Many people thought that this so-called containment war would be very easy.

    The Qin army should not take the risk of attacking the city with a small number of troops at this time, but

    "Report!!! Enemy traces were found a hundred miles away!"

    This day.  When Liu Bang was drowsy, a warning came.

    In an instant, Liu Bang stood up from the chair, frightening Xia Houying and Ji Xin who were standing behind him.  The two women were gently massaging Liu Bang.  At this time, his face was slightly red.

    "Are you coming?"

    ?A few days earlier, actually.  Zhang Liang once had a suspicion, thinking that the Qin army's movements this time were too strange.  Very disturbing.  But he always felt that things would not develop like that.

    But it seems that Zhang Liang¡¯s worries are correct.

    When Liu Bang got the news, Yingbu also got the news instantly.  Yingbu, who was practicing martial arts with his upper body exposed, was first stunned when he heard the news from his subordinates, and then his eyes shone with great excitement.

    "Hahaha! Great, these idiots are finally out! I thought it would be very dull this time, but it looks like we can have a good fight!"

    In less than half an hour, the men and horses ordered by Liu Bang and Yingbu were ready.  On the city wall, two coaches, Liu Bang and Yingbu, were standing at the highest point, looking towards the junction of heaven and earth in the distance.

    "Coming!" As Yingbu's excited voice sounded, Liu Bang saw billowing dust and smoke appearing in the distance, and the rumble of stampedes could be vaguely heard from such a distance.

    The waves of slight vibrations were felt by both of them easily.

    "So many cavalry!"

    To be able to cause such an effect, it is obvious that the enemy troops coming here have a large number of cavalry troops, otherwise it would not be possible to cause such a shock.

    But Liu Bang was not worried about this.  This time they are responsible for defending the city. For the siege party, even if they have the most invincible cavalry in the world, it is impossible for the cavalry to attack the city.

    What really determines the outcome of the offensive and defensive victory is the infantry formations on both sides.?

    As the dust and smoke billowed in the distance, the excitement on Yingbu's face became more and more intense. Even later, his eyes were exuding bloodthirsty light, and his scarlet tongue licked his lips from time to time.

    Perhaps it was due to different moods, Liu Bang and Yingbu were in completely opposite moods at the moment.  Although they occupy the defensive side, the consumption will be much easier. In addition, the continuous preparations in the past few days have increased the possibility of defending the city.

    But when he thought of the meat grinder-like siege he had seen, Liu Bang frowned.

    He is still very weak now, he does not have many troops in his hands, and he is not willing to sacrifice his life for the Chu Kingdom.

    ¡°No, there¡¯s something wrong with the number of people!¡±

    Suddenly, Yingbu beside him shouted in surprise.

    "What number of people is wrong?"

    "This scale" Yingbu did not answer, but stared into the distance with deep eyes, and then his originally excited face slowly became serious.

    "No, Brother Liu, we may be in trouble this time!"

    "What's wrong?"

    "The number of Qin troops is somewhat higher than expected! There may be more than 50,000 to 60,000 people!"

    Liu Bang soon knew why Yingbu explained this, because soon, the Qin army in the distance appeared in sight.  Although it is still about ten miles away from the city here, because the large area in front of us is an endless plain, the specific scale can already be seen at this moment.

    During the time limit, the Qin soldiers wearing black armor were densely packed, without any confusion at all, and in order.  At the front were rows of cavalry on war horses. At a glance, there were at least thirty or forty thousand people.

    What is even more exaggerated is that behind the cavalry, infantry formations that are at least three times the number of cavalry are coming towards this side in huge square formations.

    With a simple glance, it can be seen at least that the number of the Qin army will not be less than 150,000.  This is still within sight. It is obvious that the number of Qin troops is far more than this.

    "General Yingbu, I think maybe we can consider whether to ask for help from General Xiang Liang"

    Yes, please help!

    Damn it!  The Qin army numbered hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand!  How could it be blocked?  There are only 22,000 of them!  Although this city is not small, it is not as huge as Handan City!  They may not even be able to stop it for three days!

    Although Yingbu himself was a militant, he was not stupid. After seeing the size of the Qin army, he immediately agreed to Liu Bang's suggestion.  Soon, about a hundred people quickly left from the southeast gate. They needed to inform Xiang Liang in Dang County as quickly as possible about the situation here.

    "Why did the main force of the Qin army suddenly appear here? Didn't Zhang Han lead an army of 200,000 to Handan County?"

    This question puzzled Liu Bang. You must know that Handan County is far away from here, and it will take fifteen days to arrive at the fastest time. This is still non-stop.  Could it be that Zhang Han rushed over as soon as he got the news?

    That¡¯s not right. Even then, including the time it takes for the message to be conveyed, even if Zhang Han makes an immediate decision to give up the Handan County strategy, it will take at least twenty days to get here, and it is impossible to arrive so quickly!

    "Look! That's Zhang Han's handsome flag!"

    I don¡¯t know who shouted, and sure enough, looking from a distance, a flag was very obvious among the dark Qin army.  A closer look revealed that it was Zhang Han's handsome flag, indicating that the man commanding this group of people was none other than the famous general of the Qin Dynasty, General Zhang Han!

    Knowing this, Liu Bang felt even more miserable. There was already a huge disparity in military strength, but now the opponent's coach was still Zhang Han, and there was no chance at all.

    "Is that the rumored Zhang Han? I didn't expect to be able to fight against him so early."

    Although Yingbu still looked a little excited, his eyes were very solemn.  He also knew that with the current strength of the army, not to mention the opponent's army of at least 200,000 people, even half of them would not be able to fight against him.

    "It seems that we have all been fooled by this Zhang Han."

    Liu Bang is not stupid. Seeing Zhang Han leading at least 200,000 troops here at this time, the only explanation is that Zhang Han did not lead his troops to Handan County at all, but had already prepared to come to Dang County.  .

    If the rumors that Zhang Han wants to attack Handan County again are true, it should be a smoke bomb released by Zhang Han to make countless people relax their vigilance.

    Unfortunately, this smoke bomb is too realistic and too believable!

    After all, from an overall perspective, once Handan County is really captured, it will be a huge loss to the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Wei, Zhao and Han.  Everyone thought this was a brilliant move by Zhang Han. With Zhang Han¡¯s strength,, it is not impossible to do all this.

    But who would have thought that it was just a cover for Zhang Han?

    "Everyone was fooled by Zhang Han this time. His real target should be Dang County. Once he reunites with Qin Jia, he can send his troops northward and catch both Korea and Zhao by surprise. He can also go south and bypass them directly.  Pass and attack Qi State in the east."

    You can advance to attack, retreat to defend, and most importantly, you can directly unite with Qin Jia who has taken refuge in the Qin Dynasty.

    "If that happens, then the State of Qi will definitely not deploy any troops to support the three countries of Wei, Zhao and Han in order to prevent being attacked. And Zhang Han and Qin Jia can slowly engulf the two countries of Han and Zhao, and finally attack Wei.  Even Qi State takes action!"

    Good plan, good calculation!  Zhang Han didn't think about victory in the short term at all, he aimed at long-term interests and strategies from the beginning!  He is indeed one of the famous generals in the world!  I had no choice but to make this move. If I hadn't seen him appear here at this time, who would have thought of it?  (To be continued)
