Chapter 303 Capture the City(1/2)

Time gradually passes, and half a month passes.

I only saw Ren Taixu's army tightly surrounding Hanzhong, but no one attacked the city.

For a time, both inside and outside the city were a little depressed, and they really couldn't guess Ren Taixu's thoughts.

I don’t know why it is to siege but not attack?

You should know that Hanzhong is the hinterland of Beidi, and has always been the granary of the northern land. It is obviously not feasible to encircle and not capture it. Even relying on the logistical advantage, Ren Taixu's army could only be dragged to death.

This is why Daqin chose this place as the place where the northern part of the country fought to the death with Ren Taixu.

The Qin Dynasty wanted to take advantage of Hanzhong's geographical advantages to firmly restrain Ren Taixu, or even drag Ren Taixu's army to death.

There is no doubt that even at this time, the Qin generals in the city were inexplicably made by Ren Taixu's move.

On the contrary, outside the city at this time, Ren Taixu was sitting in the upper position in the tent of Ren Taixu's central army, and his confidants were all his civil and military officials.

At this time, Ren Taixu smiled and spoke to Li Huayuan, who was the first in his right hand, and said, "Huayuan, have you been ready?"

At this time, Li Huayuan was wearing a Taoist robe, a long beard, and a goose feather fan in his hand, which looked like a fairy-like figure in the military camp.

Li Huayuan also smiled slightly and bowed to Ren Taixu: "Report to the lord, the inner lord is ready, just wait for the lord to order!"

When Ren Taixu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke to a white-haired veteran in his left hand, Su Yuansheng, and said: "General Su is ready for feather arrows at dusk today!"

Su Yuansheng spoke, "No!"

The inner response mentioned here naturally cannot do the feats he had in Hanzhou before, and directly cooperated with the inner response and opened the city gate.

After all, Hanzhong is heavily guarded, and Ren Taixu's tentacles cannot extend to Hanzhong.

In the northwest, he could directly make the deputy generals guarding the city serve as internal support, but in Hanzhong, he had very few internal support in the army, and more were merchants in the city, helping him pass on messages to the disciples of the people.

However, Ren Taixu doesn't need them to cooperate inside and outside, they just need to use their old skills.

...

At dusk, the defenders on the city were already a little lazy at this time. Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city eyeing them. However, as the past half month passed, the army outside the city did not attack the city, which put pressure on them.

After they gradually got used to the army outside the city, the pressure in their hearts gradually decreased.

Even the guards in the city said repeatedly that they should be vigilant? But no matter who is a determined person, it is impossible to concentrate on and be vigilant at any time.

Besides, are humans living in groups? As long as one person relaxes? After that, no matter whether it is imbalance or other psychological factors, this kind of emotion will be kept to the whole army.

So although it was only half a month? But the vigilance in the city and morale were far inferior to the time when Ren Taixu's army just arrived.

In fact, the current military strategists have some misunderstandings about not attacking the siege? They only think that this is an absolute advantage? The city lacks water and food, which forces others to surrender.

But in fact, this is not the case. As long as a general who is proficient in military tactics understands the psychology of the soldiers, he will find out? As long as there is enough time? The siege without attacking is like a real psychological war.

"War is courage. One fight, one blow will bring down again, and three times will bring down. The other will bring down my strength, so I will overcome it."

Sometimes? The battle between the two armies is not only about strength, but also about psychology.

The military strategy says: This is the meaning of attacking the heart.

Relatively speaking, the casualties of siege are definitely far greater than those of defending the city, so defending the city often has a certain advantage.

But the siege side is not without advantages? They decided when to siege the city and took the initiative? So they mastered the changes in the battle situation.

When the two armies confront each other? When discussing the soldiers outside and in the city? The morale of soldiers who are definitely in charge is even higher, because they can decide when to attack at any time, while the defenders can only be forced to defend.

Although defending the city is an advantage, their defense is boring and their morale will decline significantly.

Simply put, using boxing as an example, one person is a target, and one person is definitely the one who hits people, and he is even more excited.

Even if the person who was the target was wearing thick armor, he might have suffered much less pain than the attacker, but he would be more boring. Psychologically his aura was weaker than the other party.

Of course, the above discussion is placed on a long period of time. If the time is short, the war continues and morale changes are not obvious, the soldiers who attack the city will be at a disadvantage.

When Wang Jian attacked Chu with a 600,000 army, he decided to adopt a steadily and gradually advance the strategy and tactics, which was to be stalemate with Xiang Yan for more than a year.

Wang Jian is not allowed to hang high in battle cards every day, and it is strictly forbidden to go out to fight.

Xiang Yan failed to challenge several times, and selected hundreds of high-throated soldiers to insult Qin Lei every day, but let Chu Bing scold her throat so that her eyes were smoked and her tongue was swollen.

Wang Jian just turned a deaf ear, sat firmly on the central army's tent and closed his eyes to rest, and let the soldiers of the army eat and sleep well, so as to accumulate energy and lay a solid foundation for future fierce battles.

A year later, the morale of the Great Qin Dynasty was high, while the morale of the Great Chu Dynasty was sluggish. When launching the general attack, it was decided by a battle!

Wang Jian attacked Chu in a foreign country, and had no advantage in the right time, place, and people. However, he was proficient in military tactics, understood the psychology of soldiers, and firmly controlled the changes in occupation in his own hands, thereby defeating the enemy.

Of course, Ren Taixu did not intend to be in a stalemate with the Hanzhong defenders like Wang Jian at this time.

After all, the world's pattern changes too quickly. Who knows what will happen a year later?

Moreover, he is not Wang Jian, and he does not have the support of the Qin Dynasty. If he is in a stalemate for a year and competes in logistics, he may not necessarily have to pass Hanzhong.

Following Ren Taixu's orders.

At this time, the somewhat slack defenders on the city suddenly found that the rhythm of the enemy outside the city seemed to have changed a little from the previous month!

Gradually, vigilance arose in my heart, and as expected, at dusk, the sky gradually faded!

A shout of "Enemy attack!" suddenly erupted in the city.

All the soldiers guarding the city were nervous and stared outside the city. They suddenly found rows of enemy troops covered by shields, drawing bows and shooting arrows into the city!

However, their arrows were a little "abnormal". Each arrow was tied with white cloth strips, which seemed to be like a letter.

At the same time, the arrows did not shoot towards the city, but were more like bows drawn high, becoming a parabola, shooting towards the distant city.

Although the formation is not small, such an arrow without a clear head will not hurt anyone.

Gradually, several soldiers in the city looked at the feathered arrows inserted beside them and the white cloth strips on the arrows.

I couldn't help but feel a little curious and picked it up and took a look.

An exclaimed suddenly!

It seemed that the soldiers around him were paying attention, so the man did not dare to speak out and quickly threw the cloth strip on the ground.

However, this action caused more and more defenders on the city to be curious, and they picked up the cloth strips on the ground and looked at it.

At the same time, the real gathering place for feather arrows was still in the city. More and more people in the city saw these feather arrows and the cloth strips on them. After watching them, they all showed a look of surprise and hid them one after another.

At this time, Ren Taixu's inner supporter in Hanzhong helped to exaggerate the news, and soon a piece of news broke out in the city!

King Xue Shoulan of Qi intends to rebel!

Although I knew that this was the news of the enemy outside the city, the content on the white cloth strip was really real. Many secrets were recorded on it, all the news collected by Ren Taixu over the years, which made people feel that it was too real after reading it!

Moreover, it is thought that King Qi was the youngest son of the late emperor and was deeply favored by the late emperor. Although he has been staying in Qi steadily over the years, he has many wise reputations and is deeply trusted by the people.

It is suspected of raising hope, and the black material listed by Ren Taixu makes people feel that it is true!

At this time, the King of Qi Xue Shoulan also received the news at this time, looking at the various news on the white sticks.

His face suddenly turned red and he spoke angrily: "It's really nonsense!"

As he spoke, his face turned ugly and his hands were trembling constantly, making people think that this was a irritating look.

It seems to have been greatly accused.

Of course, his cunning is more of a manifestation for the people around him. After all, Hanzhong is not his own way to cover the sky at this time. Although he is a noble status, he is just a nominal person.

In fact, there are many new emperors who hold actual power. After all, the vassal kings are in power for hundreds of thousands of troops, so the emperor will never feel at ease.

There was an emperor's confidant around him. At this time, he was "fraudulent", so he naturally had to show it so that people around him would not see that something was wrong.

However, this action was not completely fake. He was really angry. After all, he knew better than anyone else that the news on the white cloth strip was not a false accusation.

Many of them were small movements he had made, but many of these things were known to his confidant.

But at this time, Ren Taixu was publicly known, and he couldn't help but suspect that someone had betrayed him.

On the contrary, when many generals around the King of Qi saw the King of Qi's performance, they really believed it for a moment.

They all comforted each other: "Why should you be angry with the prince? It's just a conspiracy of the rebels outside the city, so naturally no one will believe it."

At this time, there were a few truly smart people who saw the news on the white cloth strip and knew that the news on it might be true - King Qi really had the intention to cause trouble.

However, in order to stabilize the internal form, we can only comfort everyone.

When Xue Shoulan saw the appearance of everyone, she gradually calmed down her anger and then laughed: "The enemy outside the city wants to divide us, but many generals are wise men. How can they be fooled?"

"But Ren Taixu is indeed a cunning person. He dares to frame me. I will definitely kill the old man's head to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

As the news fermented, Ren Taixu gradually smiled on his face.

At this time, he was playing chess with Li Huayuan. Soon after, he fell into the black piece in his hand, and revitalized the big dragon, and annexed the chess pieces under Li Huayuan.

Li Huayuan bowed his hand and said in admiration: "The lord is getting more and more refined in chess skills!"

Ren Taixu just smiled slightly, and did not mention the situation on the chessboard, and then spoke, "When will Huayuan think it will be messed up?"

Li Huayuan smiled slightly, looked at the distant south, and then said, "Maybe we have to wait until the new emperor receives the news."

Ren Taixu laughed and said, "You are still too shallow!"

"Do you really think that my move is just a suspicion of the king?"
