Western Capital.

"Report, county order, today Gongsun Yan commanded the army to attack Pingzhou City for one day, but in vain, he was stopped outside the city by Pingzhou City."

"Okay." Xidu County Ling Lu Xing was relieved to learn that Gongsun Yan had been dragged by Ping Zhoucheng for two days.

"Gongsun Yan came with light troops, and there was no siege equipment, so he could only sneak attack, and Yangzhou City was successfully attacked by sneak attack. If it is a frontal siege, facing the small Pingzhou City, but it will not fall for two consecutive days, its combat power can be seen. Now three thousand strong men have gathered in my city, and the gates are closed enough to hold out for a few days. ”

"And Pingzhou City can at least hold on for another day, even if the city is breached, when Gongsun Yan kills the western capital, I'm afraid that the army of the chief is also about to arrive, and I can only drink hatred in my western capital and achieve my credit."

Thinking about it, Lu Xing instructed: "Order the county lieutenant and the county magistrate to check the people of the city again, as long as they are not from the county, and those who cannot be found in the county's household registration, whether they are locals or foreigners, all of them will be driven away, and they will still be sent out of the city with hanging baskets." ”

"In this way, as long as there are no spies in the city, this county is enough to wait for the chief to come to help..."

Four watches that night.

Outside the East Gate of the Western Capital.

Gongsun Yan asked Zhong Wu, "How is it in the Western Capital now?" Have you ever found the inner response? ”

Zhong Wu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the wind in the western capital is too tight, and the ministers originally contacted some people, but they saw that the investigation in the city was very strict, and they were all unwilling to take risks. ”

"And the spies we arranged in the city were all driven out because they were not from the western capital of this county."

"This..." Gongsun Yanyi frowned.

That's a bit of a hassle.

Zhong Wu then spoke: "However, Your Majesty, we are not without opportunities now, the minister has been observing the western capital for two days, and most of the guards in the city are Ding Zhuang who has just been gathered, and they focus on defending the west, and the few elite soldiers in the city are also defending the west gate. ”

"The minister asked you to come up to the east gate, because the defense of the west capital at the east gate is relatively lax, and there is only one guard to defend it after more than ten steps. Moreover, there were one or two people standing on the city wall during the third watch, and now there was no one standing, and the minister observed for a long time, and there were no guards walking around on the city wall. So, your majesty, we can take advantage of the night to force a sneak attack. ”

Gongsun Yan glanced at Zhong Wu and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhong Wu Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, the city wall of the western capital is only about one zhang high, so the minister plans to steal the city with a hook and rope." With only 200 elite soldiers, you can control a section of the city wall, and when the army rushes up, the city will be broken. ”

"Okay." Gongsun Yan nodded without hesitation and said: "I'll give you two hundred elites, and the guards who came to Yiqu with me this time are all elite guards around King Chu, you can take them all." ”

"No."

Soon after, Zhong Wu led dozens of people to a darker corner in the east, and then stacked two people's walls, and in an instant, Zhong Wu and another guard climbed the city wall.

Landing lightly, without alarming anyone, Zhong Wu looked at Ding Zhuang, who was still sleeping on the city wall, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zhong Wu signaled to the other guard, the guard understood, and the two of them came to the nearest Ding Zhuang, and while he was asleep, one of them reached out to cover his mouth, and the other quickly swept over his neck with a short sword.

After more than a dozen breaths, the man did not move at all, Zhong Wu signaled again, and the two quickly lowered the hook and rope on the city wall.

After more than ten people came up, Zhong Wu said softly: "Go to a few people to assassinate the guards on the left, and then go to a few people to clean up the right, and the rest of the people continue to pick up the others." ”

"No."

After a while, Zhong Wu led 200 people all went up to the city wall, but they were still not discovered by the strong men defending the city.

"Send a signal to you." Saying that, Zhong Wu shook his head: "The guards here are too lax, leave twenty people to guard the city wall, and the others will follow me to open the city gate." ”

More than a hundred people walked around together, and the movement immediately became much larger, and one of the guards felt movement around him in his sleep, opened his eyes, and before he could react, he was stabbed by several long swords, and after letting out a miserable scream, he lost his life in an instant.

Zhong Wu didn't care when he woke up the other guards, and said loudly: "Don't pay attention to the upper guards of the city wall, quickly grab the city gate." ”

So saying, he quickly rushed to the city gate, passed a few breaths, killed a few of the shouting guards, and came to the staircase, and then, going down the city wall, killing ten gate guards who had just woken up, and then opened the city gate smoothly.

The county government in the middle of the county.

Lu Xing was woken up from a sweet dream, and before he could get angry, he heard someone hurriedly say: "County order, it's not good, the city has been broken by Gongsun Yan, and the enemy army has entered the city." ”

Lu Xing's first reaction was to be deceived: "This is impossible, yesterday Gongsun Yan was still attacking Pingzhou City, and now it is not dawn, how can he break through my city." ”

After speaking, the county commander wanted to reprimand the comer, and then he heard the sound of fighting outside, and the sound was getting louder and closer.

The county commander's face changed, he jumped up from the bed, and shouted, "Come on, come and help me change my clothes." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for others, picked up his clothes, put them on as he walked, and rushed out.

Waiting for the disheveled Lu Xing to gather more than ten people, and then as soon as he walked out of the gate of the county office, he saw a veteran with white hair and beard commanding a group of soldiers to prepare to surround the county office.

Lu Xing's pale face suddenly froze, and then he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask the general can be a famous rhino general, I am the commander of Xidu County, I am a Zhao person, and I have no choice but to take refuge in the Qin State, and I have always been interested in the Zhao State, looking forward to setting things right." After a long time in Qin, I have been looking forward to the rhino head general coming to rescue our western capital for a few days, and today I finally waited for the general, fortunately! ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Okay, well, since that's the case, then what will you do next!" ”

The county commander nodded, laughed twice, took two steps forward, and then was held by two long swords against his neck, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Naturally, I naturally know how to do it." ”

After laughing, he said to his subordinates beside him: "Go, tell the county lieutenant, just say that it is not the thieves who are attacking the city, but the rhino head general who sent troops to rescue the western capital, please stop resisting and don't cause misunderstanding!" ”

With the abandonment of resistance in the city, the western capital officially fell into the hands of Gongsun Yan.

······

In the evening, the 30,000 troops under the city of Pingzhou rushed to the western capital.

That night, Gongsun Yan once again gathered all the large armies, and in front of the whole army, rewarded the besieging army of Yu Yuan with sixty percent of the wealth harvested from the treasury of the western capital, and then the remaining thirty percent was rewarded to the 10,000 troops who attacked Pingzhou City, and the remaining one percent was rewarded to the remaining 20,000 troops.

Then, after the last time it was recorded, it will be accepted again, and when it returns, the reward of this battle will be doubled.

After the reward, the effect was remarkable, from the soldiers to the generals, almost all of them were red-eyed, and they couldn't wait to rob the people in the city immediately...

Especially the 4,000 soldiers who broke through the western capital, the 4,000 people were divided into 60%, while the 20,000 soldiers who had no merit could only be divided into 10%, the gap was too big.

The 20,000 soldiers looked at the 4,000 robes on the other side, their hearts were hot, and their eyes were red, and so on.

And the four thousand elites all straightened their waists, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan nodded with satisfaction.

The Heart of the Army is available!

Before the decisive battle, another wave of heavy rewards can make these soldiers take the initiative to attack the Qin army.

After ordering the soldiers to return to the camp to rest, and Gongsun Yan returned to his camp, Zhong Wu walked behind Gongsun Yan and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received the news that the army led by Zhu Lijian appeared forty miles west of Yangzhou City at noon today, and it is estimated that it has now arrived in Yangzhou City. ”

"What a speed!" Gongsun Yan was slightly startled, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
