More than [-] Chu-Yan allied forces built a company battalion stretching for dozens of miles on three sides of Linzi City.
Among them, Xiang Yu's troops were mainly distributed in the east and south, and Zang Tu's one hundred thousand Yan army was in the west.
"King Yan, my great king asked me to deliver a message to attack the city tomorrow.
You are in charge of the west of the city, and our Chu army is in charge of the east and south of the city.
Captured in the city, each belongs to himself. "
On January [-], the sixth year of Qin II, Zang Tu received the envoy sent by Xiang Yu in his camp.
"Okay, the envoy will go back and tell King Xiang that this king has the same plan and will attack the city tomorrow as promised."
King Yan Zang Tu responded with a smile.
"This emissary is leaving."
After all, Zang Tu was invited by Xiang Yu, surrounded by three queues, and the Chu army under Xiang Yu's command was in charge of both sides, and Zang Tu was only in charge of one side.
It is Xiang Yu who wants to destroy Han Xin, and the Chu army should make great efforts.
And, according to Xiang Yu's intention, whichever of the two of them will attack Linzi City first.
When the time comes to enter the city and seize it, whoever seizes it is fair.
Zang Tu was naturally satisfied with this.
"My lord, to attack the city tomorrow, shall we go all out?"
After the envoy of Chu left, a Yan general came out and asked Zang Tu.
"nature."
Zang Tu said with a smile.
During this period of time, since Zang Tu defeated Liaodong King Han Guang and unified the entire Yan Kingdom, he is worthy of the name of Yan King and has been in a good mood.
But now, Xiang Yu even gave him a county for nothing, and he sent troops to help Xiang Yu destroy Han Xin.
Moreover, Xiang Yu later promised that as long as Han Xin is defeated, Linzi and other places in the north of Qi will belong to Xiang Yu, and Julu County in the west will belong to Zang Tu.
If this were the case, Zang Tu would not only have the Yan Kingdom in his hands, but also the half of the north would be in his hands.
This is also the main reason why Zang Tu promised Xiang Yu to send troops, and sent troops so quickly.
Really, he couldn't refuse Xiang Yu's generous offer!
Zang Tu stood up, glanced at his generals in the commander's tent, and said loudly with a smile: "You heard it just now.
I have reached an agreement with King Xiang that tomorrow we will only attack the west gate, and the east and south gates will be attacked by the Chu army.
Once the city is broken, whoever seizes the money, food and materials will belong to whom.
Not only money, food and materials, but even the population and livestock in the city, what we will grab at that time will also be ours.
Linzi City is a good place. It is much richer than ours. The city has a large population, so there must be a lot of money and food.
Let's snatch half of Linzi City, this trip is not in vain.
Our [-]-strong army is only responsible for attacking the west gate, so we can't let the Chu army break through the city first.
Tomorrow, I will tell all the soldiers that whoever breaks the city first will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and you will keep [-]% of what you get from entering the city and looting. "
"No, the king is mighty!"
After hearing Zang Tu's order, these Yan generals all showed greed and shouted in unison.
Indeed, Yandi is a bitterly cold place in the north at this time. Although the land is not small, it is sparsely populated.
The people in the city of Linzi alone can catch up with the population in the half county of Yan State.
In addition, Linzi is rich, and these Yan generals can already believe that after breaking the city, they enter the city to plunder, and the harvest will be rich this time.
On January [-], Xiang Yu and Zang Tu launched an attack on Linzi City at the same time.
The soldiers of the Yan and Chu armies who learned that entering the city could plunder wantonly could be described as having high morale and attacking wildly.
"Kill!"
The city of Linzi was full of beacon smoke, and tens of thousands of Yan and Chu armies took turns attacking the city.
Zhang Han didn't expect that the Yan and Chu armies would enter the city violently, and the city was almost destroyed on the first day.
In the end, Zhang Han used his direct descendants in advance to repel the attack of the Yan and Chu armies.
"This battle is difficult. I hope King Qi can open up the situation on the periphery as soon as possible, otherwise Linzi City will not be able to defend it!"
"I don't know if the envoys sent to Qin can persuade the king of Qin to join us in fighting against the Yan-Chu coalition."
At night, Zhang Han patrolled the city defense, thinking absently.
At this time, Xiang Yu didn't know that Han Xin was not in Linzi City at this time.
At this time, Han Xin led [-] elite Qi troops to march in concealment in Jibei County.
In the next five or six days, the two armies of Chu and Yan continued to attack Linzi City. The offensive was fierce, and Linzi City was in danger.
Under the fierce attack of the two armies of Yan and Chu, the captives of the Changshan army and the old and weak of the Qi army recruited by Zhang Han in the city were not opponents at all.
Only three days later, Zhang Han had to send his soldiers and horses to defend the city.
In the following two days, the Yan and Chu armies outside the city began to attack more and more fiercely, rumors spread everywhere inside the city, people were panicked, and the people inside the city could no longer hold on.
Panic spread, so many people in Linzi City gathered at the north gate of Linzi City, demanding to leave the city.
The two armies of Yan and Chu surrounded three gates, and outside the north gate of Linzi City, there was no sign of a soldier of the two armies of Yan and Chu.
This gave the people in the city a little luck. Instead of staying in the city, they might as well take their family and Xiruan and escape from Linzi City.
When this battle is over, they will come back.
Otherwise, when the Yan and Chu armies broke through the city, those red-eyed soldiers might do something.
"Your Majesty, many people in the city gathered outside the North City Gate, demanding to leave the city. More and more people gathered, what should I do?"
Zhang Han also had a big headache at this time.
"Order the guard at the north city gate not to let anyone out of the city, whoever dares to forcibly storm the city gate will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang Han issued a strict order.
Zhang Han knew himself at this time, and he couldn't be soft-hearted, and he couldn't let the people in the city go out of the city.
Otherwise, once this is done, the captured Chang Shan Army prisoners in the city, as well as some weak-willed Qi Army soldiers, will all want to flee the city for their lives.
This is also the purpose of Xiang Yu's strategy of encircling three ques and one siege, and Xiang Yu's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed.
In the next two days, the Yan and Chu armies attacked more and more fiercely. Even though the two armies attacked the city with a lot of casualties, the temptation to enter the city to loot wantonly still made the morale of the soldiers of the two armies high.
"Your Majesty, we can't do it anymore. Tens of thousands of people have gathered at the North City Gate, demanding to leave the city. We can't stop it!"
General You Qi hurried over to report to Zhang Hanhui.
"Hey, in that case, let them go out of the city."
In the end, Zhang Han sighed and let the people out of the city.
Standing on the north gate of the city, Zhang Han watched the first group of people leaving the city gradually go away, but they were not stopped by the two armies of Yan and Chu, which made Zhang Han extremely surprised.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Han agreed to let the people in the city leave the city through the north gate.
He also meant to let these people go out of the city to test, to see if there were plans to ambush soldiers from the Yan and Chu armies at the north gate of the city.
Originally, Zhang Han thought that there must be many ambushes from the Yan and Chu armies outside the North City Gate.
The ambush soldiers of the Yan and Chu armies will never let these people go, and will definitely loot them.
At that time, sacrifice the first batch of people who left the city, and use their tragic experience to wake up other people in the city who wanted to escape from the city, as well as those soldiers who were not determined.
But seeing that this group of people leaving the city did not lead out the ambushes of the Yan and Chu armies outside the city, Zhang Han's expression changed.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong.
Didn't Xiang Yu set up an ambush outside the North City Gate?impossible! "
However, at this time, the situation outside the city changed.
A Yan army cavalry rushed out, scattered the first batch of thousands of Linzi city people who left the city, hacked, killed and looted wantonly.
"really!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
"These Yan army cavalry have missed a big deal."
Outside the north city gate of Linzi, a Chu army cavalry was also ambushing in the distance, led by the young Chu army general Yu Ziqi.
At this time, Yuzi looked forward to the cavalrymen of the Yan army attacking these common people not far away, with a cold face and said unkindly.
Originally, according to Yu Ziqi's intention, the first batch of Linzi city people who left the city should not rush to do anything, so as not to startle the snake.
Yu Ziqi also hoped that the Qi army in Linzi City could not hold on and escaped from the city. That would be their "harvest" time.
As for the first batch of people who left the city, they could be placed far away, and they could be attacked at night.
Anyway, these people are all dragging their families and bringing a lot of livestock and vehicles. They can't walk fast at all, and it's okay to start a day later.
I have to say that Yu Ziqi is quite thoughtful and patient, and this is also the essence of Siege Three Que and One Siege.
In ancient sieges, the reason why the three gates were surrounded was to give the soldiers guarding the city a glimmer of hope of escape, so as not to force them to defend.
But it's a pity that Yu Ziqi of the Chu army can hold his breath, but it doesn't mean that the other cavalry general of the Yan army can hold his breath.
From the point of view of the Yan army, if they don't attack quickly, they will rob the people of Linzi who left the city.
That would be cheaper for Chu Jun.
Therefore, Yan Jun did it directly.
As a result, the first batch of people in Linzi City who left the city were in bad luck.
These Yan army cavalry killed many people, took them out of the city with money, grain, livestock, women, etc., and tied up the rest of the people and took them away.
Zang Tu, the King of Yan, gave the order, money and food, livestock, women, everything.
Who made Yandi have few people and poor people? Naturally, everything was robbed and nothing was spared.
"Do you still want to leave the city?"
At this time, Zhang Han stood on the north gate of Linzi City, looked at many Qi soldiers and civilians nearby, and scolded in a cold voice.
Zhang Han deliberately let many common people and country gentry climb the city wall, let them witness this scene with their own eyes, and dispel their illusion of fleeing out of the city.
With the lessons learned from the first batch of people who went out of the city, the people behind will no longer clamor to go out of the city.
At the same time, this also made some Qi soldiers in the city who wanted to escape from the city through the north gate give up their hearts.
The two armies of Yan and Chu obviously set up an ambush outside the city. If they escaped from the city, their fate would be miserable. They might as well defend the city and fight it out.
"Swear to defend the city to the death!" Zhang Han roared.
The news quickly spread in the city, dispelling the small thoughts of many soldiers of the Qi army. Letting them directly defend Linzi City is their only hope of survival.
As a result, many of the old and weak Qi army and the reorganized Changshan army prisoners who did not want to fight anymore abandoned the fantasy and defended the city with all their might.
As a result, it became easier and easier to attack the city every time in the future.
Xiang Yu and Zang Tu thought that breaking Linzi City was just around the corner.
But as a result, from the sixth day of the siege, when they attacked the city again, the resistance they encountered became tenacious.
The precarious city of Linzi survived.
On January [-], when the Yan and Chu armies continued to besiege Linzi City, [-] Qi cavalry led by Han Xin also arrived at Nanpi City at the junction of Qi and Yan.
Han Xin is a pragmatic person, and he also understands the truth of 'the enemy of an enemy is a friend'.
Facing this time, whether the menacing Chu Yan 20 coalition army can win, Han Xin has no idea.
As for Zhang Han, he was originally a general of Qin, and he still has some feelings for Qin.
Therefore, he agrees with joining forces with Qin Jun.
But he is the second in command after all, and whether he wants to do this or not must be approved by Han Xin.
"Okay, it's not impossible to join forces with the Qin people.
