The stone cannon was dragged out, this weapon was placed at the head of the city, throwing small stone projectiles to attack the infantry who were attached to the siege of the city, the range was limited, the strength was not large, and there was basically no preparation, whether it could hit the target or not depended on luck. The first stone bullet flew out with Zhang Gan's roar, and with a thud, it hit a house on the side of the street more than 100 paces away, on which several Han soldiers with crossbow arrows fell from the roof screaming.

The attack of the stone cannon immediately summoned the other party's retaliation, and with a bang, a stone projectile fell in front of the warehouse gate, lifting the stone cannon into the sky, rolling in the air a few times, and then crashing to the ground, turning into a place of slag.

"This is the last warning, if you dare to resist again, you are welcome." A stern warning sounded from the other side.

Zhang Qian looked at the stone cannon that had turned into waste and the few soldiers lying in a pool of blood, sighed, turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

The warehouse is very large, Zhang Qian gathered the remaining soldiers, he leaned in front of a box of explosives, "Brothers, we can't hold it, but no matter what, I thank the brothers for their heroic fighting, we have dragged on for at least two days, we will not die in vain, it is precisely because of our unremitting efforts, at least the time for them to build the city defense has been delayed a lot, when the general returns, it will be easier to attack, now, I am going to blow up this warehouse, I can't let these ordnance be left to the enemy, you, Probably get out of this warehouse and surrender to the Han Chinese. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"No one will blame you, you did your best." Zhang Gan bent down with some difficulty, dragged out a bag of explosives from a box, he was not lightly wounded, and the cannon that the Han army had just fired back from outside, another fragment collapsed on his waist.

"Which brother brought me a torch?" He looked at the crowd, "Then go away, go far." I'll blow up this warehouse after you're gone. ”

After a moment of silence, some soldiers threw away the weapons in their hands with a bang, and walked out in a loud cry, with the first one, the sound of the clang was endless, and one after another Chu soldiers threw down the weapons in their hands, turned their heads and ran out.

Fan Kui looked at Zhang Qian in a daze for a long time, then suddenly stepped aside and took a torch. Strode towards Zhang Qian.

"General Zhang, I'm not leaving, I'll die with you!" He said loudly.

"Okay, General Fan, you are still a man after all." Zhang Qian was a little stunned, but he was still very happy in his heart, after all, the Fan family is the Hao Chu of the Chu State, although this person is usually a little timid, but in the face of righteousness. But it is still clear what is important.

Fan Kui's face was a little distorted, he walked in front of Zhang Gan, looked at Zhang Gan for a long time, but did not hand him the torch.

"General Fan. Give me the torch, do you want to light it yourself? Wait a little longer, wait for the brother to go a little further. Zhang Qian leaned against the box behind him and gasped.

"Good. Here you go! Fan Kui suddenly shouted, but instead of a torch, he handed over a bright steel knife. This knife. Since the beginning of the war, not a single enemy has been killed, and the first drop of blood that is now dyed is Zhang Gan's.

With a snort, the knife slammed straight into his chest, Zhang Qian sighed, his body bent forward suddenly, and looked at Fan Kui's eyes wide: "Why, you, even if you want to live, didn't I let you go?" ”

The soldiers who had not left all around surrounded them with a loud noise, and the bloody knives and guns in their hands pointed at Fan Kui together.

"You're going to die, why drag us to die together? Let's go and surrender? You blew up the armory, can we people live if we throw it in? Those Han people refused to use cannons after fighting for so long, didn't they just want this armory? Without these things, wouldn't they be angry and angry and take revenge on us? Can we still live?" Fan Kui yelled. "You want to die, you die."

He turned the handle of the knife vigorously, Zhang Gan's face distorted, and the whole person slowly withered to the ground, Fan Kui looked at the soldiers who came up around him, and roared angrily: "Do you want to die? Think about your family, think about your parents, wives and children, right? We can't bury this madman, we take this armory and surrender to the Han army, for the sake of this merit, the Han people will definitely not embarrass us, and we will be able to go home. ”

The soldiers around looked at Zhang Gan who was lying in a pool of blood, and then looked at Fan Kui who was standing with a knife, and finally lowered the weapon in his hand for a while.

"A quarter of an hour has arrived, now the countdown begins!" Outside, the roar of the Han army was heard again.

Fan Kui took a big stride and ran out, and appeared at the gate in three or two steps: "Don't open fire, we surrendered, I am Fan Kui, the deputy general of Wuguan, we surrender!" ”

On the top of the city tower, Mei Hua was a little surprised by the final result, he didn't expect that he had decided to give up the armory and the grain depot, but they were all preserved, that Fan Kui killed Zhang Qian, surrendered with the armory, and then relied on the identity of the deputy general of Wuguan, summoned the recalcitrant Chu army in the grain depot, and finally the remnants of the Chu army, which was less than 1,000 people, laid down their arms and became a prisoner of the Han army.

"You're Fan Kui?" Mei Hua stared at the five big and three thick guys in front of him, looking at his body, he was a good frame for a military general, but he had courage and integrity, so let's talk about it, but he liked such a Chu person.

"Yes, general, I am Fan Kui, my uncle is Fan Zhuo, a doctor in the state of Chu, and he has friendships with many big figures in your country, such as Lord Yan, the first assistant, and Lord Mei, the governor of the Central Bank."

Mei Hua blinked and suddenly laughed, "The Mei you are talking about is the father of the last general. ”

"Oh, isn't that family? My uncle and Mr. Mei Pu and Mr. Mei Su have a lot of business dealings, and they have visited Mr. Mei many times in Jicheng! Fan Kui smiled so much that a flower seemed to bloom on his face.

"It turned out to be a family!" Mei Hua looked at Fan Kui with a smile: "General Fan, you see that we are about to build a city defense, but I don't have enough manpower, since we are all a family, then you can't take your surrendered subordinates to help us do things?" Don't worry, as long as we are willing to work hard, we have enough wine and meat, and when we are done, we will let you leave, okay? ”

",, don't worry, I'll supervise them to do it." Fan Kui flattered the authentic.

Long Bin looked at Fan Kui's departing figure, and suddenly spat on the ground, "Grandma's, I want to vomit when I look at it." ”

"Don't vomit, the more people like this among the Chu people, the easier it will be for us to succeed?" Mei Hua laughed haha, "I know what Fan Kui said about Fan Zhuo, the senior doctor of the Chu State, the in-laws of the first assistant Huang Xie, have great power in the Chu State, but he has a lot of money in the central bank of our Han Dynasty. Saying it is enough to scare the hell out of your kid. ”

"The general laughed, it's not that I haven't seen money, although I, Long Bin, used to be a poor boy, but now I have some net worth." Long Bin said disapprerovingly.

Mei Hua smiled, suddenly attached to his ear, whispered a word, and with a bang, Long Bin was already sitting on the ground, his eyes full of great disbelief.

"You don't believe it, do you? I know you don't believe it, it's because it's unbelievable, my father read it to me, this person is directly following my father's path, there is a head office, very few people know. Mei Hua laughed, "That man took an astronomical amount of silver and deposited it in our central bank, exchanged it for a passbook and went back, and we just took this silver to clean up his home country, which is really happy!" ”

"This, this fucking traitor!" Long Bin got up and patted the ash on his buttocks.

"In the state of Chu, they are traitors, but on our side, we have to call them righteous men!" Mei Hua laughed out loud.

With the surrender of Fan Kui, Wuguan completely fell into the hands of the Han army, and the work of repairing and reconstructing the defense system of the entire Wuguan was immediately carried out. The defense system built by the Han army is much larger than that of the previous Chu army, Wuguan is only the last layer of barrier, and in front of him, there is another defense line, after it is built, it will accommodate the 20,000 people of the first army of the entire Guards Corps.

The next day, Wu Ya's Fourth Division also rushed to Wuguan, and the entire Fourth Division immediately joined the hot construction site, they had to fight for as much time as possible, you know, what they faced next was a counterattack of nearly 200,000 Chu army elites, and they only had 20,000 people.

"It's exciting to think about it, what about the 200,000 Chu army, this battle, some fight." Wu Ya wiped his mustache and said to Mei Hua: "Three days, I'm a little nervous." ”

"Three days of fart, I bet that the time they have taken here will be at least doubled, don't forget that Guli's crazy woman and Agu Huaien's two cavalry, Qu Wan wants to go fast, but does he go fast? If you are not careful, you will be bitten by them. Mei Hua said dismissively.

"That's just as well." Wu Ya nodded, "The Qin people of the dog day are not authentic, if they are willing to cooperate a little, this battle will be much easier for us, they have seventy or eighty thousand people!" ”

"I don't expect them, let's set up an iron bucket array here, and when we finish bending and breaking the bloodstream, hehe, but there will be a good show to watch, hum, I want to take advantage of us, let these Qin people lift stones and shoot themselves in the foot, and then they have to come and beg us." Mei Hua laughed.

Mei Hua's estimate was not bad, Qu Wan really wanted to rush to Wuguan as quickly as possible, but the sudden appearance of the Han cavalry on both wings forced him to slow down, and he could only adopt the strategy of taking turns to advance, alternately covering the advance, the two cavalry were like two hungry wolves, always hovering around him, even if he was anxious, he could only be cautious, once these cavalry were given a chance, they would pounce on them like hungry wolves and bite themselves.
