Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 289 Since you refuse to surrender, just behead him!

At this time, Han Xin finally stopped running. He turned around slowly, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and raised his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. For Han Xin, since he knew that the Chu army would come to attack, how could he not make a perfect plan in advance? This carefully arranged trap was the most fatal blow he gave to the enemy!

Han Xin had actually already carefully planned and deployed everything in secret. Ever since he saw Long Ju rubbing his hands and eager to fight with him under the city of Zhixian, combined with the detailed intelligence about Long Ju provided by Gao Yao, Han Xin already had a clear idea of ​​Long Ju's personality and behavior habits.

In view of Long Ju's various characteristics, Han Xin cleverly set up a trap. He knew that Long Ju was impatient and would not be able to hold back his temper when the Chu army was stuck in a stalemate and could not break through. He would choose to launch a surprise attack at night to break the current dilemma. However, if they did so, they would fall into the trap set by Han Xin in advance.

If Long Ju was desperate and led his army to charge Han Xin's central army, Han Xin would only need to hold Long Ju back for a while. At this time, the armies on the other three sides would quickly close in to form a circle, trapping Long Ju and his Chu army, making it impossible for them to escape, and ultimately ending up in a crushing defeat.

But if Long Ju had a little brains and could think calmly, he would most likely choose to pretend to launch a strong attack from the front to attract the attention of Han Xin's army, and then secretly send a surprise force to the rear and raid Han Xin's central military tent when they were unprepared.

However, Han Xin had already prepared for this. He had prepared a second strategy to deal with this situation in advance. On the road leading from the rear camp to the central army tent, Han Xin had already ordered his soldiers to dig countless large and small holes. These holes were densely distributed, stretching for nearly a hundred steps. In order to prevent the enemy from easily noticing, the soldiers also laid wooden boards on top of the holes and carefully covered them with sand and stones, making the camouflage perfect.

The wooden boards used from the outside to the inside are getting thinner and thinner, while the outermost boards are relatively thicker. They can basically support the passage of cavalry in the short term, but they will definitely not be able to withstand the long-term.

In order to make the plan more smoothly implemented, one more thing is needed, that is, to make Long Ju not suspect that there is an ambush bait, and this bait is naturally the most suitable Han Xin. Han Xin deliberately exposed himself to be discovered by Long Ju, and did not ride a horse and completely relied on walking just to give Long Ju a false hope that he could kill Han Xin immediately. As expected, Long Ju did not withstand the temptation and began to chase Han Xin frantically.

Of course, doing so is still somewhat dangerous. If Long Ju is good at bows and crossbows and is ready to directly attack Han Xin with a wave of arrows, Han Xin will still be in great danger. Therefore, Han Xin's doing so is also a gamble. The gamble is that Long Ju is now confident and wants to kill him with his own hands. This is also the reason why Han Xin dared to plan, and he even did not hesitate to use himself as a part of the plan as bait to lure Long Ju into being fooled.

At this critical juncture, throughout history, it is rare to find a commander-in-chief of the three armies who has such extraordinary courage and determination to take such action. However, the reason why Han Xin dared to do this was because he was targeting Long Ju. As long as Long Ju was successfully captured, then conquering Zhi County would be as easy as taking something out of a bag, without any suspense.

At this moment, having accidentally fallen into the deep pit, Long Qie was still struggling with all his might to stand up again. But the moment he stood up, a tearing pain suddenly came from his arm, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing it at the same time. After a whole day of fierce fighting, Long Qie not only did not get a good rest opportunity, but also frequently waved his arms to fight bravely.

In addition, he fell quite hard just now, so Long Qie didn't notice anything unusual at first. But as the pain came like a tide, he finally realized that the wound on his arm was so serious that he could clearly see the white bones!

“Boom boom boom… boom boom boom…”

At this moment, the deafening, thunderous sound of war drums resounded through the sky again! A large number of southern border troops rushed out from all directions of the camp like a tide, rushing over fiercely. On the outside of the central army camp, more southern border troops rushed back like hungry tigers. The troops who originally attacked from the flank camps on both sides did charge bravely towards the vanguard camp at the beginning, but not long after they rushed out, they suddenly turned around without any warning and rushed straight towards the central army camp.

At this moment, although a considerable number of Chu soldiers were still fighting desperately in the camp, all these efforts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they could not turn the tide of the battle. Because the generals were the courage and spiritual support of the soldiers, and now General Long Ju had actually fallen directly into the enemy's carefully arranged ambush, and his life was uncertain, which caused a great psychological impact on the other Chu soldiers.

Of course, Han Xin couldn't dig up the entire camp to find Long Ju or change the situation. After all, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and he must make corresponding tactical adjustments at any time and place according to the actual situation. In fact, this trap that seemed to be aimed at the entire Chu army seemed to be tailor-made for Long Ju alone.

This seemingly insignificant pit actually caused only a few hundred casualties for the Chu army. What really hit the Chu army hard was not the insignificant casualties, but the heavy blow brought by Long Ju's disappearance. Facing the southern border army surging like a tide, the morale of the Chu army instantly fell to the bottom, and they almost completely lost the courage and determination to resist. Their resistance became increasingly weak, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

As time went by, more and more Chu soldiers reluctantly chose to lay down their weapons and surrender to the enemy. Just one hour later, the once majestic and arrogant Long Ju was tied up and escorted to Han Xin.

At this moment, Long Qie was covered in blood and wounds, but his tall and mighty body still stood tall like a mountain, with no intention of giving in. Despite being in such a difficult situation, he still held his head high, his eyes firm and fierce.

Seeing this, the soldiers nearby were furious and tried to force Long Ju to kneel down and confess his guilt. But at this moment, Han Xin waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

He walked up slowly, smiling, and said to Long Qie: "General Long Qie, I have heard of your bravery for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

Long Qie snorted coldly and responded with disdain: "Hmph, Han Xin, I have heard of your deeds a long time ago. However, you have only achieved what you have today by relying on your sharp weapons and some conspiracies and tricks. If we really want to set up a battle in an open and aboveboard manner, how can a despicable villain like you be my opponent!"

Hearing these words, the soldiers around were immediately outraged and shouted in unison: "How dare you!" "How outrageous!" For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense, and it seemed that a fierce conflict was about to break out.

As soon as Long Jue said this, the generals in the big tent immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Long Jue. This time, Gao Yao was planning to train Han Xin, and Han Xin's subordinates were all young generals who admired Han Xin even more. Now Han Xin's strategies of attack, defense, and traps were linked together. Now Long Jue, a defeated general, dared to speak wildly. Naturally, the people around him were dissatisfied.

"Oh, forget it, my lord is right. You, Long Ju, are indeed a rare and brave general! It's a pity that I didn't believe in evil before and thought that I could convince you with my eloquence. Now I think that I, Han Xin, was too conceited and too confident!"

At this moment, Han Xin looked at Long Ju, who remained calm even after being attacked by swords and axes, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew very well that it was probably a pipe dream to recruit a fierce general like Long Ju to surrender, and it was basically hopeless.

"General Long Qie, now that things have come to this, I wonder if you have any unfulfilled wishes or other ideas in your heart? But you can tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help you achieve your wish."

At this moment, Han Xin stopped talking, because he knew very well that Long Ju would never retreat. Even when he was trying to capture him in the deep pit just now, even when he was already injured, Long Ju still fought hard, causing a lot of casualties on his side. Therefore, Han Xin knew very well that it was simply a fantasy to expect Long Ju to surrender willingly. Out of the last bit of respect for this fierce general, he decided to give Long Ju a chance to let him say what he wanted to say.

Hearing Han Xin's words, Long Qie suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha... I never thought that you, a despicable and shameless villain, are not completely disgusting! However, this general has acted uprightly and has never done anything regretful in his life. No need to say more, just do it!"

Even when facing death, Long Ju still showed no fear. Instead, he thanked Han Xin for not humiliating him any further.

"Take him away and kill him!" Han Xin said no more and immediately ordered his men to take Long Ju away and kill him.

"Here!

With Long Qie's departure, there were only about 10,000 defenders left in Zhi County. Most of the remaining people were very tired. Apart from Long Qie, the only remaining general was Xiang Sheng, a relative of the Xiang clan.
