Just when the Chu army was making persistent efforts and preparing to expand the results of the battle.

When the Vietnamese soldiers used to support the city arrived, the three hundred Vietnamese soldiers saw the Chu army on the city wall, and immediately let out a loud shout, and then launched a charge with a loud "kill" sound.

As soon as the two sides engaged, the Chu army, which was fighting in the front, obviously felt that this reinforcement was completely different from the previous Yue people, and its combat power was much higher than that of the other side.

After the Chu army adapted to the offensive of the Vietnamese army, it quickly maintained the gap at about five zhang.

Then, the fierce battle continued, and the soldiers on both sides fell one after another, and in this regard, the two sides continued to invest more troops in this small section of the city wall without hesitation, like gamblers in a hurry.

It wasn't until the sun went down and the sky was dark that the sound of gold was remembered outside the city, that the bloody battle of the day ended.

Chu Ying.

After Zhao Ying and Sima Jian reported the results of the battle, seeing that they still had no results, Tang Yu said expressionlessly: "Two generals, today will have some results.

By the afternoon of the fierce battle, our army had taken control of a small section of the wall to the north, although it did not expand the results until the end, and finally succeeded in capturing the wall. However, until the general Mingjin withdrew his troops, the Yue people did not recapture that section of the city wall. ”

Sima Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is the general saying that the Yue people are already short of troops and have no follow-up?" ”

Tang Mo nodded: "Yes, the Yue people were unable to recapture the city wall, this sign shows that the general's previous prediction was correct, and the defenders in the city are seriously insufficient." So much so that after only six days of fierce fighting, there was a shortage of soldiers in the city. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ying and Sima Jian showed great joy at the same time.

Huiji City showed fatigue so quickly, which was far more than they expected.

Originally, they thought that this war might last for a month.

But now it seems that it will only take less than half a month to break through the last big city of the Yue country in front of me and pull out the last nail of the Yue country.

"Congratulations General, the day of the city is just around the corner." The two congratulated together.

Tang Yu smiled and ordered: "Order, continue to carry out a strong attack tomorrow, at all costs, regardless of casualties, and strive to break through the city as soon as possible to support the king's side." ”

"No." The two replied loudly.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, the Chu army once again launched a strong attack on the city wall.

At noon, the Chu army led by Sima Jian took the lead in opening a gap in the western city wall.

Then, in the afternoon, a gap opened again in the north. Soon after, a small section of the city wall was also successfully captured in the east.

But until sunset, under the fierce resistance of the Yue people, they never took advantage of the situation to break through the city wall.

Day 8.

After the Chu army attacked the city for an hour, it opened a gap in the north, and then, the Chu army swarmed in, fought for a day, and finally controlled the city wall close to one-third, and the bloody battle lasted until night fell, and the vision was blurred, and then the regrettable retreat.

Late at night.

Huiji City.

Two voices in a low-pitched voice came from a nobleman's mansion, and the tone was extremely heavy.

"How? What's going on in the city? ”

"Brother, the situation in the city is not good now, very bad. After eight days of bloody battles, the five thousand soldiers in the city, nearly half of the dead in the battle, the intact ones have been less than five hundred, and the people in the city have suffered heavy casualties, especially in the past few days, the city wall has been lost, so that the casualties of the people have increased greatly, just a preliminary estimate, the casualties of the people are at least more than 10,000, of which Ding Zhuang is the mainstay. ”

"Shhh

There was an inhalation in the room, and then it fell silent, without making a sound.

Long.

The first to ask asked:

"The battle is so fierce, far beyond your and my expectations, according to my brother's opinion, can Huiji City still be defended?"

"Difficult? Hard? There are too many Chu troops, there are too few soldiers in our city, the reinforcements from Zhuji Shangyu have not arrived for a long time, and the Chu people who are attacking the city are two or three times more than all the people in the city combined, and the Chu army can take turns to fight regardless of casualties, but we can't. Now the morale of the people in the city is low, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on. ”

"That... How many more days can you hold on? ”

"If the offensive of the Chu people does not decrease, judging from today's battle situation, the city will inevitably be lost if it is three days later."

“···”

“···”

"It's not as good as..."

"How's my brother doing?"

"The Chu people's determination to destroy the Yue Kingdom has been decided, and the loss of Huiji is irretrievable, I fled from Wucheng and came here, but I don't want to be a Chu person. But I fled to Huiji City and supported the new king, but I was squeezed out by the rich belly and idle, so I don't want to be buried in Huiji City, so it's better for you and me to flee! ”

"This... This... That's fine. ”

Early morning of the ninth day.

Yue Wang Jiu sat in the first place with a nervous face, and his eyes were red, and he was about to cheer up the generals in the city, so that the generals could make persistent efforts and continue to hold the city.

As a result, Qian Belly's eyes swept over the generals, and he suddenly found that there was one less of the seven generals on the agenda, and there were only six generals in front of him.

Qian's eyes sank, and when he saw that Lu Lang, the Yue general who had fled from Wucheng, was gone, he immediately said angrily: "Where is General Lu Lang?" ”

The generals in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.

At this time, a soldier quickly ran in and reported loudly: "Newspaper... General, no, the captain guarding the south came to report, today he went to change the guard, but he didn't see the captain guarding the city at night, and after asking Ding Zhuang who was guarding the city, he learned:

Last night, a general in the city bribed the captain to defend the city and walked over the wall from the south, and then, the captain in charge of guarding the city at night also fled from the south overnight with his family and guards. Later, some Ding Zhuang fled with his family by jumping over the wall. ”

"What?" Qian Belly was shocked when he heard this.

Before Qian Belly could react, he saw Yue Kui, who was in charge of the dispatch of materials in the city, walking in quickly with a nervous face, and asked: "Xiangguo, I just heard from the people in the city that a general has escaped, I don't know if this is true?" ”

As he spoke, Yue Kui glanced at the generals in the hall, and soon found that one of the generals was missing.

At this time, Qian Yu reacted and immediately asked, "How does Yaqing know?" ”

Yue Kui's face was ugly and said: "The officials who prepared the morning food for the people in the city came to report, and when the food was distributed not long ago, there were many strong men who were responsible for guarding the south gate at night to receive food in the future, so the officials immediately reported to Zaixia. In the next investigation, it was found that hundreds of families had fled, and at this time, the people in the city were talking about it, saying that a general had fled last night. Therefore, I came to inquire in the next day, and if there is no such thing, please issue an announcement immediately to quell the rumors in the city. ”

Qian was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Rumors, this is definitely a rumor spread by the Chu people, and there is no general fleeing in the city." ”
