Kui's refusal to surrender finally caused Kui to die.

After Kui Xian's death, Liu Xiu adjusted the tactical deployment on his side.

He ordered Wu Han and Cen Peng to attack Xicheng with all their might, while Liu Xiu himself led his troops to attack Rongqiu.

Rongqiu is on the edge of Xicheng, the two cities form a corner of each other, if you can't take Rongqiu, the Han army wants to break through Xicheng, it is indeed too difficult.

When Liu Xiu commanded the soldiers to launch an attack on Rongqiu, he found that Rongqiu was really difficult to fight.

The main thing is that Rongqiu is built on top of the hill, and the mixed wood and gravel thrown from Rongqiu can not only smash and injure the soldiers under the city, but also the rolling wood and gravel will continue to roll down the hillside, killing and injuring the soldiers who are advancing.

Liu Xiu led the army and made several tentative attacks, but the results were not ideal, and they were easily repelled by the defenders.

He looked at Rongqiu City, which was built on the hill, frowned, and said, "Rongqiu is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”

Lai Shi nodded, and Zhengse said: "And the main general who guards Rongqiu is still Wang Jie, this person is good at guarding, and he is loyal to Kui Huan, Rongqiu is indeed not easy to fight!" ”

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "The grain and grass in Rongqiu City is estimated not to be too much. ”

Lai Xi looked at Liu Xiu and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, our army doesn't have much food and grass. ”

The battle of Hanyang has been going on for several months, and our army of hundreds of thousands consumes a huge amount of grain and grass every day, and the grain and grass transported after the autumn harvest are now almost eaten.

Sai Zun coughed a few times and said, "In this battle, our army still has to fight quickly!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at the priest and saw that his face was not very good-looking, and asked, "Is the first grandson's body uncomfortable?" ”

Saizun couldn't help coughing a few more times and said, "Maybe I've been a little tired recently and contracted a cold." ”

Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "Since the first grandson is in poor health, go back to the camp early to rest, don't be too tired." ”

The priest smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen is just a minor illness, and he can still persevere." ”

Liu Xiu took a closer look at the priest again, and saw that his spirit was not bad, so he didn't say anything more.

His eyes fell on Rongqiu again, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Divide our soldiers and horses according to battalions, send one battalion each in the south, west, and north directions of Rongqiu, and after two hours of fighting, send another three battalions to replace them, and so on, so that the defenders will not have a time to stop." ”

As soon as they heard Liu Xiu's words, Choshi and Saizun immediately understood Liu Xiu's tactics, His Majesty was trying to consume the energy and physical strength of the defenders with continuous wheel warfare.

Choshi and the sacrificial generals bowed their hands one after another, and said in unison: "Weichen obeys!" ”

The east of Rongqiu is closer to the west city, and the Han army should not launch an attack between the two cities, and the south, west, and north of Rongqiu have no concerns about this, and the Han army can rest assured that it can boldly launch an offensive.

One battalion, two thousand people, and three battalions at the same time, that is, six thousand.

Liu Xiu had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was just enough for six rounds of offensives, and each round of attack lasted for two hours, and a whole round of wheel battles was finished, just one day.

At the end of this day, more than 30,000 Han troops took turns to fight, and each round of the Han army's offensive was not very fierce, but the defenders really had to be defenseless, otherwise it would not be a trivial matter to let the 6,000 Han army attack the city.

On the first day, the Han army adopted wheel warfare, and on the second day, the Han army still adopted wheel warfare, and in the following time, the Han army carried out wheel warfare day and night, and all battalions of the whole army took turns to attack Rongqiu.

At first, the defenders of Rongqiu were able to hold on, but after four or five days, the defenders in Rongqiu were exhausted by the Han army's wheel tactics.

People barely had a chance to get a full night's sleep, and as soon as they fell asleep, they were woken up by shouts of killing from outside the city.

What's worse is that the Han army's attack is day and night, and even at night, the Han army's shouts and killings become louder and louder, so noisy that the defenders in the city can't sleep at all.

After a few days, the soldiers of the defending army all had dark eyes and sunken cheeks, and they all looked like they had lost weight.

Wang Jie, the commander of Rongqiu, naturally knew that the current situation on his side was not optimistic, and he flew a pigeon to send a message to Xicheng, reporting the situation on Rongqiu's side to Kui Huan, and asking Kui Huan to send troops to reinforce Rongqiu.

Rongqiu's troops are not much, only about 10,000 people, the Han army can afford to fight wheel warfare, but the Rongqiu defenders can't afford to fight.

In Wang Jie's view, in order to deal with the wheel war of the Han army, he needs to add at least 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Soon, Wang Jie's biography arrived in Xicheng, and after receiving Wang Jie's flying pigeon biography, someone immediately reported it to Kui Huan.

Since Kui Xun was killed, Kui Huan's whole person looks even older, like an old man who is lonely and dying.

He gathered his ministers and discussed countermeasures.

When the ministers arrived at his bedroom, he took out Wang Jie's flying pigeon biography and handed it to the ministers to circulate.

He lay on the bed and said in a weak voice: "Wang Jie, there is a letter, saying that the defenders are not strong enough, what do you think?" ”

The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The strength of the defenders of Rongqiu is indeed insufficient, but the number of defenders in Xicheng is not large, and now Xicheng can barely protect itself, where is there any extra troops to send to Rongqiu?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak for a long time, Kui asked weakly, "Wang Yuan, have you come back from Chengdu?"

He brought back, how many reinforcements? ”

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

In the end, it was Shen Tugang who said bluntly: "King, General Wang has sent back a letter from Chengdu, and Chengdu is no longer willing to send troops and horses to reinforce us!" ”

Hearing this, Kui Huan's eyes widened, and he said: "We, help Gongsun Shu, resist the Han army, why don't you give us reinforcements?" ”

"The Chengdu court said that now Shu is also under attack by the Han army, and there is no extra troops to reinforce us, so let us find a way to resist the Han army by ourselves.

In addition, they say......" What else do you say? ”

"Say, they haven't transferred Tian Yi and Li Yuer back to Shudi, which is already the biggest reinforcement given to us."

When Shen Tu first spoke, he couldn't help but look at the hustle and bustle.

Aren't you bent on taking refuge in Gongsun Shu?

Now you see what kind of person Gongsun Shu is, right?

Colluding with Gongsun Shu, that is, he is seeking skin with the tiger, and he wants to count on Gongsun Shu to rescue him, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

"Gongsun Shu, he ...... Don't he understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? ”

Kui roared angrily, but his body was weak, and even if he roared, his voice was weak.

After roaring this voice, he couldn't help but cough continuously.

The attendant on the side hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and Kui Huan covered his mouth with the handkerchief, and coughed for a while before he stopped coughing.

When he put down the handkerchief, it was clear to everyone that the handkerchief was covered with blood.

Yang Guang's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, his voice was choked, and he said, "The king...... Take care! ”

"Gongsun Shu, if he refuses to save us, we have to save ourselves."

Kui Huan gasped, hissing and wheezing in his throat.

He said intermittently: "Rongqiu, is the shield of Xicheng, Rongqiu is not lost, Xicheng is here, if Rongqiu is lost, Xicheng is difficult to protect itself." ”

Zhao Bing said: "King, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Xicheng!" If you send troops and horses to support Rongqiu, Xicheng will be in danger! ”

Kui Huan closed his eyes tiredly.

At this time, Jin Dan said: "King, Dan thinks that sending troops to reinforce Rongqiu is the next step!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xing, Du Lin, and Shen Tu Gang all raised their eyebrows and looked at Jin Dan with strange eyes.

The king has already said that Rongqiu is the shield of Xicheng, which is not wrong at all, as long as Rongqiu is there, it can disperse the pressure of Xicheng's city defense to the greatest extent.

Kui Huan slowly raised his eyes, looked at Jin Dan, and asked, "Sir, why do you say this?"

What do you think is the best policy? ”

Jin Dan Zhengse said: "Now, no matter how many additional reinforcements we send to Rongqiu, the situation is still in the midst of a passive attack.

In Dan's opinion, if you want to reverse the situation, you have to make a surprise soldier and become a big thing! ”

Shen Tugang frowned, looked at Jin Dan coldly, and asked, "What does Mr. Jin mean by surprise and great things?" ”

Jin Dan smiled slightly and said, "Send an iron cavalry to attack the Han army camp by surprise!" As long as Liu Xiu can be killed, the Han army will be defeated without a fight, and the situation on our side will immediately turn from danger to safety, and even defeat can be turned into victory! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present gasped in unison.

Take the initiative?

They really hadn't thought about it before.

Shen Tu just pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Han army camp has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and our army's iron weapons are less than 10,000, and with less than 10,000 cavalry, to sneak attack the camp of more than 100,000 people, isn't that going to hit the stone with an egg?" ”

Jin Danle said happily: "In the Han army camp, there are indeed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but during the day, Wu Han and Cen Peng will lead 100,000 troops to attack our Xicheng, and there are also 10,000 soldiers and horses who will go out of the camp to attack Rongqiu, and the Han army left in the camp is at best 10,000 people, and these 10,000 people are all soldiers and horses who attack Rongqiu at night. ”

Yang Guang's eyes flashed and asked, "Mr. Jin, will Liu Xiu stay in the camp during the day?" ”

Jin Dan said: "When the war first started, Liu Xiu went out of the camp every day to supervise the battle, and in the past few days, Liu Xiu seems to be a little tired, and he stays in the camp to rest!" ”

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes, if what Jin Dan said was true, this was really a good opportunity.

He turned his head to look at Kui Huan, and arched his hand and said, "King, Weichen is willing to lead the iron cavalry to attack the Han camp!" ”

Kui Huan looked at Yang Guang and said: "Chunqing (Yang Guangzi Chunqing), this battle is dangerous, let's let others go!" ”

There are many generals under Kui Huan, such as Wang Yuan, Wang Jie, Wang Zun, Xingxun, Yang Guang, etc.

But now, Wang Zun has rebelled and taken refuge in Liu Xiu, Wang Jie is guarding Rongqiu, and Wang Yuan and Xingxun are not angry, and they are thrown in Jicheng by Kui.

The only general who stayed by Kui Huan's side was Yang Guang, and the person Kui Huan relied on the most now was Yang Guang.

Sneaking into the Han camp is such a dangerous thing, Kui Huan really doesn't want Yang Guang to go.

Yang Guang said: "Wang, Mr. Jin is right, killing Liu Xiu is the only chance for our side to turn the crisis into safety and turn defeat into victory!" There is only one chance, and Wechen is willing to give it a try! ”

Kui Huan was still about to speak, Jin Dan came out of the ranks, arched his hand and said: "King, Dan is willing to go with the general!" In this battle, if Dan can't bring back Liu Xiuzhi's head, Dan will mention his head and see the king back! ”

Yang Guang is the spiritual pillar of Kui Huan, and Jin Dan is the pillar of Kui Huan's body, and the two of them are very important to Kui Huan.

Now both of them proposed to attack the Han camp, and Kui Huan was quite embarrassed.

If the two of them can really kill Liu Xiu, it will naturally be great, but if the two of them have three longs and two shorts, how can they be good?

Kui Huan said: "Chunqing, Mr. Jin, you two, think about it again." ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the others and asked, "Gentlemen, who else is willing to lead my Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack the Han camp and kill Liu Xiu'er?" ”

All the generals lowered their heads one after another, not even daring to breathe, for fear that the clamor would hit their heads.

Don't look at what Jin Dan said nicely, what is in the daytime, there are not many soldiers and horses left in the Han camp, but the main army of the Han army attacking the city can immediately withdraw to the camp.

That is to say, the soldiers and horses who attacked the Han camp had to be killed directly into the Han camp without any obstruction, and then they were directly killed in the Chinese military tent without any obstruction, and only in this way could they successfully kill Liu Xiu.

But when it comes to the specific implementation, can it be so smooth?

It's an impossible task.

In other words, only when General Yang Guang leads the troops can it be possible to complete this task.
