There is a reason why the deputy general Wang She is like this.

Because just a few days ago, he received a handwritten letter from Wang Mao, the patriarch of the Wang family, from Jinyang City.

As a member of the Jinyang Wang family, Wang She is between the "country" and the "family", and he must choose one of them at this time.

Xu Kai didn't notice the expression of the deputy general Wang She, in the past few days, there have been several groups of repulsors who have sent people to Jinyang to ask for help. But now, I didn't see half a shadow of the reinforcements, but was reprimanded by Lecheng's letter.

Thinking of this, Xu Kai became more and more breathless.

On the way to inspect the city wall, Xu Kai used the horsewhip in his hand to whip several Zhao Jun in a row.

Seeing this, the deputy general Wang She had to step forward and persuade: "General, please calm your anger." In the past few days, these soldiers have been on guard and defense at the head of the city, and they are a little tired, which can be regarded as excusable. ”

Listening to the pleading of the deputy general Wang She, Xu Kai suddenly withdrew the horse whip in his hand, and this bit of face still has to be given to Wang She.

Xu let out a long sigh, walked side by side with the deputy general Wang She, and said to him: "General Wang She, you know, this general actually doesn't want to do this to the soldiers. But when I thought of General Rakuma's reprimand, I couldn't help but get angry. ”

"This time, the army of Yan went south, and the number of troops was as high as 200,000. And my wolf Meng defenders, counting the people who were recruited, are only more than 10,000. There is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, not to mention the weapons and equipment of the Yan army, you and I have also seen it before. ”

"Ben General also knows that Jinyang City is important, but Wolf Mengcheng is not important? You must know that once Wolf Mengcheng is conquered by the Yan army, the Jinyang County of my Zhao State will be a flat river, which will be more conducive to the Yan army's cavalry. ”

After Wang She heard Xu Kai's words, he also sighed secretly in his heart.

As a member of the Wang family, he knows more inside stories than Xu Kai. The general Le Cheng was in Jinyang City at this time, and there were many enemies. Not only faced the Yan army from Dai County, but also faced many wealthy clans of Zhao State in Jinyang County.

Today a place of grain and grass is robbed, and tomorrow a fire is set in the city.

If you are the chief general of Jinyang, do you dare to lead the army north to reinforce Wolf Meng?

Of course, these words can only be hidden in Wang She's heart, and cannot be said to Xu Kai.

Wang She changed the topic and said tentatively to Xu Kai: "General, now that the Yan army is pressing the border, several counties in the north have also been conquered by the Yan army. When we have no reinforcements outside, the disparity in strength is too great, and this city is not easy to defend! ”

"Humph!" Xu Kai snorted coldly and was about to reply to Wang She. Suddenly, there was the roar of galloping horses from a distance, and the entire city wall trembled slightly.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Yan army has already come? Why is there no return for requisition? ”

Xu Xingxing's head was a little confused, standing at the head of the city and looking out of the city.

Seeing a Zhao army rejecting soldiers, while galloping towards the city, he shouted loudly towards the city:

"The Yan army is coming, the Yan army is coming."

In an instant, the faces of the wolf Meng Shou general Xu Kai and the deputy general Wang She changed.

Xu Kai shouted an order to Zhao Jun: "Quickly take the repulsors back to the city, close the city gates, and prepare for battle." ”

With Xu Kai's shouting, the Wolf Meng Zhao Army had already reacted, and many defenders and soldiers had gone up to the city wall, holding swords and bows, ready to fight.

In less than half an hour, I saw that on the horizon outside the city, a red color swelled up, stretching continuously, like a tide towards Wolf Meng City.

Changguo Junlejian, the army of Yan led is here!

After the Yan army arrived at the city, Xu Kai looked intently, only to see the Yan army's large array, the flag covering the sun, the horn sounding, the war horse neighing, the cold light of the soldiers, and the whole sea of red.

Under the city of Wolf Meng, there are dense Yan troops everywhere, the forward has arrived under the city, and the dust is flying in the distance, countless Yan troops continue to come towards Wolf Meng, and they can't see the edge at a glance.

Coming to the center of the Yan army under the city, there is a big banner embroidered with the word "music", which is particularly eye-catching.

Xu Kai knew that this was the handsome banner of the Yan army's chief general, Lejian.

"Judging from the general flags of the Yan Army, there are six military flags of the Yan Army this time, and according to the military system of the Yan State, there are really 200,000 troops."

The deputy general Wang She was next to Xu Kai and muttered.

The establishment of the Yan army was known to all the countries in the Central Plains at this time. The first army and three divisions, including logistics personnel, and the number of soldiers in the first army was between 33,000 and 35,000. Six armies, at least 200,000 men.

The defenders of Zhao State above the city looked at the city, and their faces were as white as earth.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment of the Yan army, let's talk about the comparison of the military strength of the two armies. The army defending the city of Zhao was full, but it was only 10,000 people; And what about Yan Jun? But it's in the early 200,000s.

The ratio of military strength between the two armies is not tenfold, but twenty. This battle is really out of reach!

Don't forget, the art of war: "The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple is to divide it...... Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. "If the weaker side fights to hold on, it will become a prisoner of a strong enemy.

"General, according to the Malay report, in the rear of the Yan army, at this time the Yan army still has a large number of large armies are gathering, preparing to go south." There was a general of the Zhao army who defended the city, and he was also Xu Kai's cronies, who said this to Xu Kai.

"Nonsense." Xu Kai whispered to this cronie general.

"General, this matter is true, the last general will not dare to hide it from the general!" This general said to Xu Kai.

The deputy general Wang She was beside him at this time, and said softly to Xu Kaiye: "General, what General Zhao said just now is true. Now the Yan army under the city, according to the banner, is the six armies of the Yan country, with a total strength of no less than 200,000. ”

"Judging from the battles of the Yan army in the past, anyone who defends the city and does not surrender the Yan army, after the city is broken, it is difficult for the generals who defend the city to live. If this is allowed to break through the Yan Army City, our lives will not be guaranteed. ”

Hearing that the deputy general Wang She also said this, Xu Kai smiled bitterly.

Then, his eyes swept over the soldiers of the Zhao army at the head of the city and found that everyone was looking at him, waiting for his decision.

Xu Kai gritted his teeth and said to the general guarding the city at the head of the city:

"Soldiers, this general has sent a book to General Lecheng in Jinyang City, it won't be long before General Lecheng will inevitably send a large army to reinforce our army, please be brave and fight to keep my wolf Mengcheng."

"Besides, although there are many people in the Yan army, they must be tired when they come from afar. As long as our army does not go out of the city and takes the initiative to fight with the Yan army, but sticks to the city, what can the Yan army do to me? ”

The generals of the Zhao army around Xu Kai, when they heard this, did not dare to say more, and said in unison: "No." ”

Only the deputy general, Wang She, frowned slightly.

Le Jian, the main general of the Yan army under the city, was also holding a telescope at this time, looking at the wolf Meng Cheng in front of him.

I saw that the city gate was closed, and the city wall was full of dense Zhao troops.

"General, it seems that Xu Kai, the defender of this wolf Mengcheng, wants to resist our army, will our army attack the city immediately?"

Chang Rongyan, the first army of the army, said to Lejian with disdain on his face.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Rakuma's face was cold.

"Send someone to call for surrender, and if you insist on not surrendering, then attack the city."

Le Jian's tone was very light, and he said to the generals of the Yan army beside him.

"No." A herald beside Lema clenched his fists on his horse and rode his horse to give the order.

After a while, from the battle of the Yan army's phalanx, more than 20 shouters with large horns in their hands walked out and shouted at the defenders of Zhao State at the head of Wolf Mengcheng.

But no matter how Yan Jun shouted, Zhao Jun at the head of Wolf Meng City ignored them.

Lejian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered: "Pass my order, start assembling the catapult, smash this wolf Meng city for me, and after occupying the city, then set up camp and rest." ”

"Yes." There were already generals on the side, waiting for the music room to give this order.

After receiving the order, the catapult battalions of all armies of the Yan army began to assemble the catapults.

Half an hour later, dozens of tall catapults had been assembled. Many Yan soldiers and soldiers slowly pushed these catapults to the city of Wolf Meng City.

Lejian raised his right arm, pointed at the wolf Meng Cheng in front of him, and shouted, "Smash me." ”

"Put."

With an order, dozens of huge stones rose into the air and smashed towards Wolf Meng City.
