I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 389

Han Yi asked with some hesitation: "Is this news correct? Could it be a smoke bomb released by Chu State?"

Princess Heyang rolled her eyes very ungraciously and said: "Put away your mistrustful eyes, the scouts I sent may have problems, but I still can't read the king's flag of Chu wrongly."

Han Yi smiled shyly, and felt that Princess Heyang shouldn't make such a mistake, not to mention that even if she made a mistake in judgment, someone under her hand would always see it.

If she and her subordinates didn't even have this ability, it would be impossible to guard Heyang so well.

Princess Heyang sized up Han Yi, and had to say that Han Yi has been Princess Heyang's most ideal husband-in-law until now.

Not to mention that it was said that Han Yi was the first to stand up and speak up for her when the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty criticized her in charge of soldiers.

When Princess Heyang knew about this matter, she felt that she understood Yan Zheng very well. It is really difficult for such a beautiful, strong and gentle person to get along for a long time without being moved.

She didn't have many contacts with Han Yi and couldn't help but like him, let alone others.

It's a pity that she can't touch this person. If it were another person, she would dare to snatch even Han Yi's other princess.

Princess Heyang felt reluctant and said: "Since Zhongshu is here, why not stay here for two days and guide us in Heyang's defense."

Han Yi said sternly: "Your Highness is able to keep Heyang to this day, and it is no longer an official's comment. After all, no official has ever had such a record."

After hearing this, Princess Heyang just wanted to refute, Han Yi's military achievements are also real, how could he not be as good as her.

But she quickly realized that what Han Yi was talking about was defending the city. This... Han Yi has never defended the city very much, but there is no need to defend the city in any battlefield with him, and he is always crushed all the way.

Princess Heyang patted him on the shoulder and said coquettishly, "Just make fun of me."

Although Han Yi admired Princess Heyang very much, he felt that he should keep a distance from her. Otherwise, Yan Zheng, who was far away in Xianyang, might knock down a warehouse of jealous jars, and might even conscript himself.

Thinking of this, Han Yi asked: "Since the princess knows that the King of Chu has come here, why does he want to conquest in person? Where is General Chu Xiang Yan?"

Princess Heyang shook her head and said: "Chu State suddenly turned against the water before, and after uniting with Wei State to surround Langchun City, there was no movement, and it was not until the King of Chu came that they started to mobilize troops again."

Han Yi was puzzled, but he could only put the matter aside and asked, "How is Langchun doing now?"

Princess Heyang's face was a little dignified: "The situation in the city is still unknown, the news inside cannot be sent out, and we cannot get in from outside."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Xiang Yan is indeed a veteran, no matter what tactics we use, he can block us back."

Han Yi comforted her and said, "Princess, don't be discouraged. He has a lot of experience in the battlefield, and even Meng Ao suffered a disadvantage. Obviously, he is a difficult character."

Princess Heyang is also resilient. Although she was frustrated for a while, she cheered up and said: "General Meng was besieged, and his morale was not very good before. Fortunately, you came. From now on, all the soldiers in Heyang will obey you." The order of the book order, please also give the order of the book."

Although Princess Heyang was still joking with Han Yi just now, she became serious now, and she did look like a female general.

Han Yi said politely: "His Royal Highness thinks highly of this official, and the official came here just to increase troops. Now that the situation on the front line is unknown, Heyang still focuses on defense. By the way, where is Mengwu stationed?"

He Yang looked at the two faces beside him, and the two immediately went to get a map and unfolded it slowly.

Princess Heyang tapped one of the high mountains with the whip and said, "Here."

Han Yi looked at it carefully and asked in his heart, "Does he want to lead troops over the mountain?"

Princess Heyang was stunned for a moment, and after a careful look, she said: "After going over the mountain... Langchun City is not far away, so I said why he chose such a place to be stationed, so that's the case, but he has not yet There is news that if he crosses the mountain, he will definitely notify me."

Heyang is now equivalent to the second line of defense, and the army led by Mengwu is the first line. If he leads people over the mountain, it is equivalent to withdrawing the first line of defense, so if he leads troops to leave without notifying anyone, he must notify Princess Heyang, let Princess Heyang get ready.

After all, once the opponent finds that there is a missing line of defense, they might take the opportunity to attack Heyang.

Han Yi immediately said, "I'll take someone over to have a look first."

Princess Heyang also simply said: "If there is a need for me, I will send someone to send a message directly. Don't worry, my soldiers are not bad at all."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Okay!"

After speaking, he led the team to continue walking, and halfway he asked Long, "Do you and Feng have any other friends in Chu?"

Long Qi immediately said: "Of course, we have a lot of friends."

Han Yi asked: "Can you find out why the King of Chu went on his own expedition?"

Long Qi originally wanted to talk about how extensive his friendships were, but when he heard Han Yi's words, he dared not say anything. At the same time, he looked distressed and said, "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Han Yi raised his eyebrows, and Long Qie immediately explained: "We were not very powerful people in Chu State, and the friends we knew were from the same class. It is too difficult to find out such a secret matter as the King of Chu's personal conquest."

Han Yi suddenly smiled and said, "What are you thinking? The king of Chu has appeared on the front line, and the king's flag is flying. What's the secret? Even if it was a secret before, it's not anymore."

Long Qi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said: "Then... Maybe we can find out, I will write a letter immediately after setting up camp!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Ask if you can. If you can't ask, don't reveal that the two of you have voted for Qin."

Long Qi was very disapproving, and said confidently: "Nowadays, there are not a few people who have switched to other countries, why can't we both?"

Han Yi shook his head: "No, I'm just wondering what happened to Chu State. If my identity was exposed, how would it be exposed? If it wasn't exposed, there must be greater turmoil in Chu State."

Long Qie was not stupid after all, and immediately said knowingly: "That is to say, we still treat them as if they don't know your identity?"

Han Yi nodded, just as the scout came back to inform Meng Wu that he was already in front to meet him.

When Han Yi saw Meng Wu, he found that he hadn't seen him for a while. Meng Wu had become black and thin, and the Sichuan-style lines between his eyebrows could kill mosquitoes. Obviously, Meng Ao was not living well during the time he was trapped. great.

Meng Ao is a symbol of the Meng family's invincibility. It is unimaginable that Meng Ao's trap will deal a blow to the reputation of the Meng family army. Even if this is not considered, the life and death of his father is uncertain, and Meng Wu will naturally be anxious.

Han Yi was familiar enough with the Meng family, so he asked directly without being too polite: "Is there any news about the general now?"

Meng Wu shook his head bitterly and said, "No."

His voice was very low, with indescribable fatigue and confusion.

Han Yi quickly comforted and said: "That means that the Wei-Chu coalition forces have not broken through Langchun. Don't worry, no news is good news."

Meng Wu shook his head: "There is no need for Zhongshu to comfort me. There is no news until now, which means that the possibility of my father breaking through is very slim, and the city does not know what the situation is, hey."

If the city is besieged, no living supplies will be able to get in. The food and drink of so many people in the city, plus the food and grass of the soldiers, will be dangerous every day.

This danger comes not only from the outside but also from the inside. The Meng family army is well-trained and will not break the camp easily, but what about the common people?

Ordinary people may be very docile at ordinary times, even if they are attacked by enemy troops, as long as their lives are not threatened, most people will choose to swallow their anger.

However, once they are cornered, they will turn into devils from hell.

Han Yi also thought of this, he sighed and said: "I brought people here, these people are not ordinary soldiers, they can take on more tasks, let's... let's discuss it first."

This time it was indeed a headache, and this was the first time Han Yi encountered such a situation.

Han Yi looked at the map and asked, "Do you know where they are stationed?"

Meng Ao pointed to a plain by the river and said, "Here."

Han Yi touched his chin: "It's a bit troublesome."

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially when it is near the river. There are no river battles or sea battles in this era. If you really fight in it, you will have more people than anyone else. Fighting in water is equivalent to drowning a large number of soldiers. Ships of this age are useless in wars.

With a heartbeat, Han Yi turned his head to Long Qie and said, "Send an order to send two ships over from Hancheng."

The Mo family had experience in building sea-going ships in Furong Town at the beginning. Later, the giant followed Han Yi to Hancheng. Han County also has a very developed water system, and some members of their family began to study river boats.

Although those ships are mostly used for recreational purposes, they should be much better than Chu's warships.

Meng Wu opened his mouth, originally wanted to hold back, but in the end he couldn't hold back and said: "Now... I'm afraid it's too late."

It is hundreds of miles from Hancheng to here, and the boat is very big, and I don't know when it will be delivered, Meng Ao can't afford to wait.

Han Yi said: "It won't be used this time, maybe it will be used in the future. This time, the king is very angry. We and the country of Wei must be immortal. The water system of the country of Wei is also very developed. If they want to rely on the river Armed, these ships will come in handy."

"I was thinking about it." Meng Wu lowered his head a little ashamed.

Just now he was full of thoughts on how to save Meng Ao. In fact, as a mature general, he must have an overall view, that is, if Meng Ao cannot be saved, or if the cost of saving him is too high and it is not worthwhile, he must give up.

It's just that Meng Wu didn't say this all the time, no matter how good he is in Zheng Shanzhan, he is still a human being, he doesn't want his father to die in such a humiliating way, or he doesn't want his father to die.

Although Han Yi didn't accuse him now, it sounded like he was basically saying that he was cowardly and selfish.

Han Yi didn't know that he was thinking so much, and after giving orders, he said, "Now let's see how we can attack the camp."

Meng Wu was stunned for a moment: "Attack the camp?"

Han Yi nodded: "If we fight head-on, it will be difficult for us to fight them. They have blocked all the roads leading to Langchun, and they are all places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may be difficult for us to fight there. "

Meng Wu said: "But... Isn't it more difficult to attack the camp?"

It is so difficult for them to fight there. Their camp is in a deeper place, how can they attack the camp?

Han Yi smiled and said: "Did you forget what I said? The army under me is different from ordinary troops. Well, I will ask some people who are familiar with water to see if they can swim." past."

Meng Wu struggled and said: "It's probably useless for them to go there. I'm not saying that Zhongshu's subordinates are not good, but that they are inexperienced. If something unexpected happens during the attack on the camp, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with it."

Han Yi had to admit that Meng Wu's thinking was very reasonable, and when he was thinking about whether to change the method, Meng Wu said: "If Zhongshu can trust me, then let me go."

Han Yi shook his head immediately: "No, the weather is already very cold now, and the river is freezing cold at night. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to General Meng."

But Meng Wu firmly said: "If they can do it, so can I!"

He knew what happened to Han Yi's soldiers, but he had led the army for many years, and he was confident that he should not lose to those people in terms of physique.

Han Yi had no choice but to say frankly: "Stay honest, those people I'm talking about are all trained, they are specially trained to cross water and kill people in water, so don't compare them with them."

Meng Wu:? ? ? ? ?

He looked at Han Yi in shock, and for a moment he didn't know how to comment, his mind was full of: Could it be that he didn't know the prophet?

If not, why did they train their men to cross the water?

To be honest, it is surprising that Han Yi organizes soldiers to conduct training. These days, soldiers are recruited in wars, and then they are brought directly to the battlefield. Veterans who survive two battles are veterans.

A relatively fixed army like the Mengjia Army is already a special existence, but Han Yi's army is even more unexpected.

Of course, Han Yi is not a prophet, he just knows a lot. Because people in this era are not good at water combat, they basically avoid this aspect. Once they are close to a river, especially a relatively wide river, it means that they have a certain degree of confidence. Safety factor.

Han Yi felt that maybe he could take advantage of other people's heart, and then it would be a surprise, or it would be useless even if the other party knew about it, because they didn't know how to fight in water, so could they still guard against all water shores?

After Meng Wu was shocked for a while, he had no choice but to say: "Then...follow Zhongshu's command."

Meng Wu found that he couldn't keep up with Han Yi's train of thought. Thinking about it carefully, Han Yi seemed to like to be surprised when fighting.

It's not scary to be surprised, what's scary is that he can succeed every time.

Meng Wu had already tried many methods, but none worked, so he could only rely on Han Yi.

Han Yi replied: "You guard this side, and I will lead the team to attack the camp at night."

Meng Wu:? ? ? ?

Meng Wu hurriedly grabbed Han Yi and said, "No, no, no... no."

Meng Wu was about to die of fright, and a person who usually spoke quickly started to stutter after being frightened.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't go underwater."

Meng Wu looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Where are you going if you don't go underwater."

Han Yi pointed to the top and said, "I'll fly over from above."

Meng Wu suddenly had an expression of "are you kidding me?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he said, "No, I have to go with you."

Han Yi said: "No, what if the Wei and Chu countries also come to attack?"

But Meng Wu said: "But if something happens to you, I can't explain it to the king."

Han Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to tell me, I'm a senior officer, so listen to me."

Meng Wu: ...

There is really no way to refute this. Han Yi's official status is not as simple as being one or two levels higher than him. Zhongshu Ling... was entrained by Yan Zheng when he changed the official system, and changed it to be able to command the world's soldiers and horses.

So don't talk about Meng Wu, strictly speaking, even Meng Ao has to listen to Han Yi.

After Han Yi finished explaining to Meng Wu, he turned around and went out to have people prepare to assemble the flying kite, thanks to his well-prepared.

However, Feiyuan and gunpowder are basically his two magic weapons for winning.

The only problem now is probably how he should command the ground troops on Feiyuan. Han Yi thought about it and only strictly formulated two situations. place lurks.

If it is green, it means to attack the camp as originally agreed. Of course, before the attack, Han Yi will drop two bombs down.

The power of the bomb will not be too great, the purpose is to startle the opponent's soldiers and horses, and put the opponent in a state of panic for a short time.

Anyway, since King Yan City was razed to the ground overnight last time, Han Yi has been a lot more cautious when using gunpowder, for fear of repeating the same mistakes again.

No matter how much he felt that the other party might not expect them to choose to attack the camp, Han Yi felt that it was better to be cautious.

For this reason, he even studied the general on the opposite side.

Then he found that there seemed to be no way to study this, because the opposite was the Wei-Chu coalition army, and the generals who led the troops had never heard of it.

The next thing to fight is probably luck. According to the situation, Han Yi's perfect preparation should not cause any major problems, but sometimes such things are hard to say.

Under Meng Wu's worried eyes, Han Yi set off with his people.

The group of people selected for diving went first. There were not many people, a total of 100 people. If there were more people, it would be easy to disturb the other party when they went ashore.

And Han Yi waited until they were halfway across the river, gave them the signal, and then took the flying kite to glide down from the nearby hill.

During the gliding process, Han Yi kept observing with his clairvoyance in his hand.

At night in this era, except for the moonlight, it was basically pitch black. Even though he had memorized the map by heart during the day, Han Yi was still a little unsure of their location at night.

Originally, he thought that since it was a military camp, there must be fires at night, even if the soldiers were asleep, there would still be people patrolling the camp.

But he let people control the flying kite to glide around in the sky, no matter how he looked, he didn't see any fire on the ground.

In this way, there are only two possible situations. One is that the opponent's military camp knows that they are going to sneak attack, and they also need to know that Han Yi is going to sneak attack in the air, otherwise this situation is impossible.

If it is the ground, some outlines can be seen by the moonlight.

Han Yi was a little suspicious, turned his head and said, "Let them go ashore and send someone to see what's going on first. If they can do it, they will send out a green signal flare, and if they can't, they will send out a red signal."

Just in case, Han Yi didn't want Feiyuan to land, because Feiyuan landed on it... It might not be able to fly unless it finds a hill.

Immediately, someone responded and went to deliver the message. This time, they used the mechanism bird directly. After all, this order is too complicated to transmit the order through the signal flare.

Han Yi took a binoculars and looked for a long time but couldn't see any traces of the other party's camp. For a moment, he wondered if there was no camp here.

Not long after, he saw a red flare soaring into the sky. Han Yi put away the binoculars and said, "Get ready to land and join them."

After the rendezvous, An, who was the leader this time, stepped forward to salute and said anxiously: "Master, there is no military camp here at all!"

Han Yi frowned: "No? Is it that it was abandoned before, or is there no trace of camping at all?"

An Xing said: "There is no trace of camping!"

Han Yi was also a little confused for a while: "This is strange, there should be no problem with General Meng Wu's intelligence."

Meng Ao is still trapped in Langchun City, Meng Wu must be very careful with the enemy troops here, it is impossible to make such a mistake.

It's just that if Han Yi couldn't figure it out, the others couldn't understand it even more.

Han Yi said decisively: "Let's go, let's go to Langchun City."

There is no barracks here, but there must be one over there, otherwise how would you besiege Meng Ao and his army?Anyway, it's all here, a sneak attack is not a sneak attack, the army besieging Langchun is all enemies, there's nothing wrong with it.

Han Yi let those people go first, but he still wanted Feiyuan to glide there. There were no hills nearby, but he found a high ground. Although the height was average, it was better than flat ground.

Han Yi led Long Qie and Fei Yuan's operators to continue walking up Fei Yuan, but halfway through, Long Qie's expression suddenly changed: "Wait, there's movement underground!"

Han Yi was slightly taken aback: "Underground?"

Without further ado, Long Qi pulled out the long knife at his waist and inserted it into the ground, then put his ear on the handle of the knife and listened carefully, then raised his head and said, "My lord, there is movement below!"

Han Yi didn't think that this movement would be made by animals. Since Long Qi could hear it, it meant that someone might be active underground.

Han Yi didn't care to praise Long and his ears, and immediately ordered: "Let everyone gather here!"

Fortunately, An Xing and the others didn't go too far, and they came back soon and surrounded Han Yi. Just as they withdrew, the soil where they had been beaten suddenly turned up, and someone laughed loudly: "The general really knows things like a god, and he actually I have already guessed that the Qin bandits are coming back to attack the camp, I have been waiting for a long time!"

While this person was talking, people were dug out of the soil in many places around Han Yi and the others, and they knew that there were a lot of people just by the sound.

Everyone around Han Yi was panicked, only Han Yi said with a sneer, "You're playing tricks, and you don't ask who invented the underground tactics. You're looking for death if you play this in front of me!"
