Chapter 770: Siege(2/2)
What Zhao Yu has to do now is to wait until Handan falls, appear in Handan as a reinforcement, and make things happen, and eliminate the loss of value by the third prince Li Qian - or the new king Li Qian, and the Yang brothers.
Even during this period, he was able to take advantage of the chaos to meet the emperor of Jin for the last time. Of course, he was the second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, Zhao Yu, and let the emperor die in peace.
As for whether his plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves would implicate the people of Handan, Zhao Yu was not very worried about this.
First, the Liangzhou army was influenced by Yang Qiu, the Liangzhou army, and had strict military disciplines, so they would not do anything to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Only newly enlisted Qiang soldiers could do this.
Secondly, the third prince Li Qian will also restrain the Liangzhou army. After all, Li Qian did not intend to be a puppet emperor. He really wanted to inherit the throne. How could he allow the Qiang people in the Liangzhou army to burn, kill and loot in Handan? If such a thing happens, how can he have face?
In contrast, he cared more about the losses of the two armies of Chu Yan and Zhou Gong.
After all, even in order to pretend, Chu Yan, who was stationed in Handan and Zhou Gong, who was stationed in Wu'an, would definitely resist first.
Although there is no need to release water to the Liangzhou army at this time, because according to Zhao Yu's estimates, the Liangzhou army will definitely have an advantage in military strength and will sooner or later be able to capture Handan, the soldiers of his Yingchuan army will still suffer casualties, which is an indisputable fact.
And the Hu Ben Army...
"Furo—"
After breathing a little, Zhao Yu changed his position, lying on the chair with his hands on his back, with a few complex colors flashing in his eyes.
"This is the last time..."
He thought to himself.
At the same time, at Handan, the Liangzhou Army General Yan Yi finally led 20,000 Liangzhou Army, who had previously stationed in Yecheng, to Handan around the middle of his life, to lead a 20,000 Liangzhou Army that had previously stationed in Yecheng.
With the arrival of Yan Yi's army, Yang Xiong's troops had reached about 35,000.
On the side of Handan, there are 25,000 troops, of which the Yingchuan army under Chu Yan's command account for 10,000 and the Hu Ben army account for about 15,000.
Generally speaking, with the help of the city wall, Handan may not be unable to defend the gap of only 10,000 troops, but unfortunately, most of the Hu Ben Army have never fought wars. Although they are well-trained, they are still far from being elite.
This night siege battle was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Fortunately, it was late at night, and the Liangzhou army under Yang Xiong and Yan Yi and others could not exert all their strength. Otherwise, even if the 10,000 Yingchuan army led by Chu Yan to rescue the ground, Handan might have fallen.
The problem is, the sun will be out in a few hours. What should I do then?
"In one day, you must conquer Handan within one day!"
