Wu Wang Xiang Bi was very anxious, and under Wanling City, he forced the generals to lead the Wu army and attack the city day and night.

He can't help but be in a hurry!

The 100,000 army of the king of Chu was on the side of the river, and he was defeated in a battle and retreated to the north of the river. Just cultivating vitality will take at least half a year, or even longer.

The support army he had hoped for would not be able to come to his aid for months.

When the other princes and kings saw the defeat of the 100,000 Chu army, they must have been afraid and did not dare to cross the river easily and come to the south of the Yangtze River.

Although he had an army of 250,000 men, he fought alone, and it was almost impossible for any more reinforcements to appear.

The Jinling Imperial Capital will be for a while, and it will definitely not be able to attack.

He needs to take Wanling City in the fastest time, establish a strong stronghold on the periphery of Wu State, and gain enough strategic defense space.

From the north of Wanling County, it is one hundred miles away from Danyang County and two hundred miles away from the imperial capital of Jinling.

Danyang County is between Wanling County and Jinling Imperial Capital.

If you don't take Danyang County, you will definitely not be able to attack Jinling City.

He had to take Wanling County to withstand the attack of 50,000 elite soldiers of Xiao Duhou and Li Yu.

However, what surprised Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, was that after Xiao Duhou and Li Yu defeated the Chu army, they returned to Danyang County with 50,000 imperial troops and stationed, and there was no movement.

It is estimated that Xiao Duhou also felt that his 50,000 troops were too weak, and he was afraid of the 250,000 troops of the Wu army, which was too large.

Once engaged in a battle in the field, Xiao Duhou's 50,000 troops may not be able to hold on.

Since Xiao Duhou hid in Danyang County, he didn't come out.

That's fine!

This just gave King Wu enough time to hurry up and build a batch of siege equipment to attack Wanling City with all his might.

For six or seven days, the Wu army attacked Wanling City day and night.

However, Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, found that this Wanling City was extremely difficult to attack.

The Taishou of Wanling City is Xie Anran, the eldest grandson of Xie Huyong, the former prime minister. The famous second gentleman is almost on par with the little dusk marquis.

This Xie Anran is very famous in Jinling City, and he is known as the first young talent in Jinling, not in vain, although it is the first time to fight, he is surprisingly experienced and calm.

As soon as he took office, he immediately began to repair and strengthen the city wall, and in a few months, the city wall was increased by half a zhang.

He also built many arrow towers and arrow towers.

Even the original wooden gates were nailed with solid iron plates, thick and strong. Dozens of soldiers couldn't push.

A lot of equipment was also built to defend the city, rolling wood, oil pots, and iron spikes to resist horses, leaving no obvious flaws.

This Wanling City is built like a turtle shell.

The Wu army stormed for six or seven days, and built many large siege equipment, but they could not be broken by smashing it.

...

Late at night.

The Wu army is more than ten miles away, and the torch is bright.

The 40,000 Wu soldiers, as usual, attacked Wanling City all night, not giving the defenders of Wanling City a chance to rest.

In the big camp, the Wu soldiers and soldiers are also sentry posts, and there are bonfires everywhere, and they are strictly guarded to prevent the little faint marquis from stealing the camp.

Xiang Bi and Xiang Xian, the two fathers and sons were in the camp, looking at Wanling City, eager to capture it immediately.

Since Xiang Bi knew that the King of Chu was defeated at the hands of Xiao Duanhou, he was not so annoyed by Xiang Xian's defeat.

The 100,000 army of the King of Chu was so powerful that he couldn't defeat Xiao Duhou.

Xiang Xiancai has only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is normal for him to lose in Danyang County.

Victory and defeat are commonplace, and it is good to get used to it.

"This Xie Anran, a suave scholar, but he also has the qualifications of a prime minister!

His grandfather Xie Huyong was the former prime minister, the head of the gate valve officials, and the protégés and former officials were all over the government and the opposition, and their influence in the court was very deep.

Xie Anran runs Wanling City like an iron bucket, and his own skills are also quite good. A great general with both civil and military skills!

It's a pity that such talents only work for the court.

Xiao Duhou is like this, and so is Xie Anran!

The emperor's life is too good. If the two of them, even one of them, can serve this king, why should this king worry about this world, it will not belong to this king. ”

Wu Wang Xiang Bi sighed.

"Father, our army's offensive is a bit too hasty. It is estimated that it will take three or five days to conquer Wanling City. Our onslaught at such a cost-effective assault resulted in considerable attrition of troops, losing between three and five thousand men a day.

These days, our army has been strong everywhere in Danyang County to maintain a strength of 250,000 troops. These strong men are not loyal and may flee at any time. ”

The son of Xiang Xian regretted a little.

In the past six or seven days, the Wu army stormed Wanling City and had killed 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Although they are all miscellaneous soldiers, all of them are farmers, but they are all miscellaneous soldiers brought from Wu, and they are highly loyal to King Wu, and they can be obedient, and it is a pity that they die.

The new strong men brought in were all farmers from Danyang County, and they ran away as soon as they found an opportunity, and they had no loyalty at all.

"How can my father not be in a hurry?"

Xiang Bi waved his whip, pointed to Wanling City, and sighed: "Xiao Duhou is not an easy person, from the fact that he fought 100,000 Chu troops, I know that he is extremely fierce and spicy, like a hungry wolf.

The 100,000 army of the king of Chu crossed the river, only to reveal a few flaws, and he was defeated in one fell swoop with his weak forces.

Once my Wu army shows a flaw, he will definitely pounce.

It is necessary to take this Wanling county as soon as possible, and my father must have a strong city to defend in the territory of this Danyang County. If Xiao Duhou wants to defeat my Wu army, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

The father can also threaten the Jinling Imperial Capital at any time, forcing the emperor to defend the imperial city, and dare not easily send troops out of the city! ”

The two of them were talking.

Suddenly, in the starry sky at night, several dazzling fireworks exploded.

This brilliant firework made the soldiers of the entire Wu army camp run out one after another, looked up, and saw this unheard-of miracle scene, one by one, dumbfounded.

"What's that? ... Could it be fireworks? Fireworks invented by Xiao Duhou?

I heard that the Qixi Festival, the fireworks festival in Jinling City is very amazing, which makes the magnates and people in the city breathtaking.

It's a pity that night, my sister and hundreds of assassins failed to assassinate Xiao Duhou. So much so that he left this scourge behind, defeated the 100,000 army of the king of Chu, and made my Wu country fall into passivity. ”

In the eyes of the son of the world, Xiang Xian felt extremely amazing.

Although he is in the country of Wu, he is well-informed and does not be closed.

What happened in Jinling City was sent to Wu by secret agents, and they knew a lot about it.

"I guess it should be! This firework, at a glance... It's truly stunning, breathtaking. I don't know who will set off fireworks in this wilderness, and who will watch them? ”

Xiang Bi was also a little surprised and said with a smile.

Suddenly, he thought of something and was stunned.

That's right!

This firework is not an ordinary thing, and it is also extremely scarce in Jinling City.

In this wilderness, unless in this wilderness, set off this uncommon fireworks?

Who is it?

What do you want to do?

Firework... Little Dusk?!

Wu Wang Xiang Bi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his scalp was numb.
