"Alright, then it's settled. Tomorrow, we'll turn to Chengyang!”Liu Bang slapped the military press and shouted.
In the evening, Xiang Liang received a letter from Liu Bang that he was going to attack, but he did not say anything.
In his opinion, Liu Bang's 30,000 men were just a mob. It was good to attack Chengyang. In this way, after taking Dingtao, the spoils of war and the credit would all belong to the Xiang Family's Army.
The next day, Liu Bang led 30,000 troops to Chengyang!
At the same time, Ying Zhan's 80,000 strong army had also reached Cao County, which was not far from Dingtao!
"Cao County Magistrate Cao Dongzhi greets the East Garrison General!”
Cao Dong Zhi led the officials of Cao County and bowed towards Ying Zhan.
Ying Zhan waved his hand and said indifferently,"Lord Cao, you don't have to be so polite. I heard that the rebels in Wei and Qi are wreaking havoc. Tell me about the situation here first!”
"Here!"
Cao Dongzhi arched his body and said," Yesterday, Xiang Liang and Liu Bang's bandits arrived at Dingtao. They intended to take Dingtao and open the road to the west, but they were in vain under the Dingtao County Magistrate's efforts to resist. The surrounding cities are all in panic when they hear this, worried that bandits will invade our cities. Now that the general is here, we can finally relax.”
"Lord Cao, there's no need to panic. This time, when my troops arrive at Wei Qi, we can eliminate all these bandits!”
Ying Zhan said," Since the bandits are right in front of us, I won't enter Cao City. Lord Cao, lead the officials back!"”
"Here, this subordinate will take his leave first!"
After Cao Dongzhi finished speaking, he led a group of officials back to Cao City.
Jia Xu looked in the direction of Dingtao and immediately said to Ying Zhan,"My lord, the Xiang and Liu bandits are besieging Dingtao. The military situation is like fire. We can't delay it.”
"The army will immediately set off for Dingtao!”
After Ying Zhan shouted, the 80,000 strong army marched towards Dingtao in an orderly manner.
Cao County was over a hundred miles away from Dingtao. Ying Zhan's army arrived at the bank of the Ji River after four hours. Dingtao on the other side could be seen from afar.
At this moment, Xiang Liang was organizing 30,000 Jiangdong troops to attack the city. The situation was extremely tragic!
Because Xiang Liang was determined to take down Dingtao today, he had given a death order. Before Dingtao was breached, any soldiers who dared to retreat would be beheaded!
Under the pressure of this military order, the Jiangdong soldiers, who were already fearless, became even crazier. They attacked Dingtao City wave after wave!
As the soldiers guarding Dingtao City fell one by one, the city was like a wooden boat swaying in the wind and rain. It could capsize at any time.
Looking at this scene, Xiang Liang finally smiled. He firmly believed that as long as he attacked fiercely for another fifteen minutes, he would definitely be able to take down Dingtao!
"Report!"
Right at this moment, a horse galloped over from the direction of Jishui!
A scout dismounted and bowed to Xiang Liang.""Reporting to Lord Wu Xin, a large Qin army has appeared on the west bank of the Ji River and is crossing the river!”
"What?"
Xiang Liang's heart jolted and he hurriedly asked,""How many Qin soldiers have come? Whose banner is it?"
"The Qin army stretches for miles, and you can't see the end of it at first glance. There are at least eighty thousand of them, and on the fluttering black banners, the word 'Qin' is written all over!”the scout replied.
This time, Xiang Liang was a little flustered!
Eighty thousand people?
If 80,000 people attacked from behind, then his 30,000 Jiangdong troops would really die without a burial ground.
However, Dingtao had already been breached. It was a pity to give up like this.
Sigh…If only I had Military Advisor Fan by my side, he would definitely be able to make decisions for me!
Just as Xiang Liang was in a dilemma, the Dingtao City gates opened with a loud bang!
The densely packed Jiangdong soldiers rushed into the city like crazy!
Xiang Liang was immediately overjoyed and could not help laughing wildly as he said,""Haha…the heavens are really helping me. Once Dingtao is broken, our Jiangdong Army will have a foothold. Why should we fear the Qin army?”
Then, he ordered the scout,"Go to Yangcheng and inform Liu Bang immediately. Tell him to come and support me in defeating the Qin army!"”
"Here!"
The scout responded and left!
After that, Xiang Liang led a few thousand people from the Central Army and walked into Dingtao City in a domineering manner!
On the other side, after Liu Bang's 30,000-strong army arrived at Yangcheng, they were not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, they surrounded it.
The reason why Liu Bang did this was because his army could not withstand the torment of attacking the city!
However, he had a super think tank under him. If he didn't have enough martial strength, he would make up for it with intelligence!
At this moment, they were discussing how to take down Yangcheng.
"Report! A scout from the Xiang Family's Army has something important to ask for an audience!”
At this moment, the guard walked into the main tent to report!
"Why did Xiang Liang send scouts to find me? Could it be that you can't take Dingtao and want me, Liu Bang, to help?”
Liu Bang was a little surprised and said,""Bring him in!"
Soon, the scout appeared in front of Liu Bang!
"Liu Bang, my Wu Xinjun invites you to defeat the Qin army together!”The scout directly stated his intentions.
This made Liu Bang even more confused. He hurriedly asked,""Defeat the Qin army together? Where did the Qin army come from? Also, did Wu Xinjun conquer Dingtao?”
