Zhu Jin and Guo Chongtao, one is an envoy to the army, and the other is a deputy envoy to the official residence, both of whom are proficient in military affairs, so Yang Wu will take the two of them with him every time he goes on an expedition to serve the military.

Specifically, Guo Chongtao is better at planning the overall situation and providing useful advice to Yang Wu from the overall military strategy.

Zhu Jin is different, when Zhu Wen was just rising, Zhu Jin, as the envoy of the Taining Army, once led his troops to fight a tragic war with Zhu Wen for ten years; In almost every big battle, Zhu Jin will personally lead the troops, and he has extremely rich experience in actual combat.

So Zhu Jin is better at specific tactics.

After listening to Zhu Jin's judgment at this time, Yang Wu smiled happily: "I hope it can be as you say!" In fact, Lone didn't expect to be able to capture the Acropolis in one day, as long as he could complete this task within three days, Lone would be at ease! ”

It's not that he doesn't have confidence, but the difficulty of attacking the city is already very great, especially when the morale of the defenders is still high, it is not easy to quickly capture the city, even if the strength of the Wu army is strong, don't think about making a breakthrough if you don't have enough time.

However, Yang Wu was wrong this time, or in other words, in terms of actual combat experience, he was indeed inferior to Zhu Jin.

The first siege of the Wu army lasted nearly half an hour; During this period, although the soldiers marched forward bravely, and many low-level officers took the lead in attacking the city, and even attacked the city wall for a time, but in the end they failed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, and were driven down by the enemy's counterattack.

Half an hour later, Yang Wu ordered the troops of the second line to be sent up, and at the same time Ming Jin ordered the first group of troops to begin to withdraw; He also sent the third army forward and prepared for the siege.

During this period, there was an incident that scared Yang Wu and the others.

It turned out that the gorgeous armor that Yang Wu was wearing today was too eye-catching, and Yang Wu's own royal flag was erected high, which quickly attracted the attention of Ni Kefu, the general of the Jingnan Army who was in command in the Acropolis.

"Wang Qingyang, your eyes have always been the best, you hurry over and take a look, the person in the distance wearing a gorgeous armor, do you think it is possible that it is Wu Wang Yang Wu?"

"What? Where is it? Wang Qingyang didn't dare to slack off, and squinted under Ni Kefu's guidance.

The distance Yang Wu was at was so far that even Wang Qingyang, who had the best eyesight, could only see a vague figure.

"General, the distance is too far, the last general is not sure. However, the armor worn by that person was indeed extraordinary, and the last general felt that even if that person was not King Wu himself, he must be a general in the Wu army! Wang Qingyang said solemnly.

Ni Kefu was overjoyed, but then hesitated.

If that person was really Yang Wu, the king of Wu, then didn't he say that he had the opportunity to kill him?

However, if King Wu is really killed, then the credit he has made this time will be great, and even Zhu Wen may be rewarded after learning about it, even if he doesn't give himself a knot, at least there should be no problem with the history of the assassination of a state.

After all, the importance of Yang Wu, the king of Wu, to the state of Wu is well known, if the king of Wu dies, even if the state of Wu does not fall into civil strife immediately, I am afraid that the national strength will be greatly weakened, and the state of Liang will not be threatened in the future, and the situation of the whole world may change.

But then he realized that he had just thought too beautifully.

The distance Yang Wu was at was too far, at such a long distance, it was difficult to fire even a lighter stone projectile with a Suzhou cannon that far; What's more, even if it can be launched so far, it will be difficult to hit.

Of course, with such a good opportunity, Ni Kefu will naturally not let it go.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Wu army, he hurriedly ordered the Suzhou cannon to quickly fire lighter stone projectiles at Yang Wu and others to increase the range as much as possible.

However, after trying to reduce the weight of the stones, the range was still much worse, and the stone projectiles fired fell weakly to the ground when they were still nearly a hundred steps away from Yang Wu and the others, stirring up a puff of dust.

Seeing this result, Ni Kefu was immediately extremely disappointed.

If it is only about twenty or thirty paces away, then after some adjustments, there may still be a chance to launch to such a long distance.

But now there is a difference of hundreds of paces, and such a big gap is not something that can be adjusted by finding a way.

Therefore, Ni Kefu wisely gave up the idea of continuing to launch, and instead adjusted his purpose to target the Wu army, which was about to launch the next round of attacks.

However, what he didn't know was that among the many stone bullets, there was a smaller stone block, perhaps with the help of the wind, which shot farther than the other stone bullets, and actually landed only thirty steps away from Yang Wu, injuring two unlucky soldiers of the Yulin Army.

Although only two people were injured, this still caused a lot of chaos among Yang Wu's guards.

You must know that it was a stone bullet fired by the Suzhou cannon, and after being hit, it was basically a tragic death on the spot, who was not afraid after seeing it?

Therefore, Cheng Xun and Zhou Zong hurriedly came forward to ask Yang Wu to move elsewhere, and Guo Chongtao and Zhu Jin's faces were also a little pale, and they were obviously taken aback.

Of course, although Yang Wu's face did not change, in fact, the surprise in his heart was not below the others.

However, he rejected the proposal of Cheng Xun and others, and insisted on commanding here.

The reason why this is the case is not that he has to be a hero, but that he firmly believes that the enemy's Suzhou artillery cannot reach here, and the shot just now is just a special case.

At such a long distance, it was extremely difficult to shoot a stone projectile, and if you wanted to shoot Yang Wu, this possibility was even lower.

After all, the flying speed of the stone bullet just now was not fast, and the reason why the two soldiers of the Yulin Army couldn't dodge before was because they were in the queue, surrounded by other soldiers, and there was not much room to dodge; And Yang Wu has a lot of space here, even if a stone bullet shoots at him, he believes that he can calmly dodge.

Of course, the most important point is that the two Yulin Army soldiers who were hit by the stone bullet just now did not have any other problems except for a little minor injury and a little blood; This shows that after flying such a long distance, the power of the stone projectile is already very small, far less than the power of those boulders.

Yang Wu was wearing armor that was more sophisticated than those two soldiers, so he was naturally even more fine.

With so many reasons, he naturally would not choose to move to the rear, which would undoubtedly affect his prestige and even affect the morale of the soldiers.

Sure enough, when they saw that Yang Wu did not retreat, but continued to sit on the back of the horse with an unchanged face, looking at the battle situation in front of him with a calm gaze, those soldiers were deeply excited.

"The king's golden body, even he can be so calm and composed, not afraid of life and death; We are ordinary soldiers, but we have only one life, how can we take care of our own lives again? Everyone thought in their hearts, and their morale was suddenly boosted.

Even Zhu Jin, Guo Chongtao and others on the side were also in admiration after seeing Yang Wu's calm attitude, and secretly felt ashamed of their timidity just now.

After seeing that the enemy did not continue to fire stone bullets, Yang Wu was even more relieved, and said with a smile: "It seems that the stone bullet just now was just using the power of the wind, you don't need to worry!" ”

The first round of offense didn't make a breakthrough, and Yang quickly put his hopes on the second round offense.

It didn't take long for the Wu army, which was besieging the city in the second round, to move forward, preparing to take over the first group of besieging soldiers.

Because this group of soldiers did not have to push those siege equipment, they marched much faster than the soldiers of the first round of siege, and soon arrived at the foot of the city wall and replaced the first batch of soldiers.

……

Time flew by, and groups of soldiers took turns to attack.

Soon, it was noon.

The Wu army retreated to the back for lunch, but during this period, the besieging soldiers did not retreat.

After all, the Wu army has a large number of troops, and even if they take turns to retire and eat, they can ensure that there are enough soldiers to engage the enemy army.

The defenders of the Acropolis did not have this convenience, their troops were relatively small, and after a morning of fighting, they were already very tired, but in the face of the continuous attacks of the Wu army, they had no time to retreat and recuperate, let alone enough time to eat.

Fortunately, the defenders of the city soon discovered the problem, and they soon left the city to replace the defenders of the acropolis.

But how could Wu Jun let them succeed easily?

The soldiers, who had been preparing for the next round of attacks in the rear, soon received orders to attack and began to intercept enemy reinforcements.

This time, because he had to go deep into the rear of the acropolis, he would not only face the attack of the enemy troops who came out of the city, but also face the threat of the enemy troops on the walls of the main city.

However, these Wu soldiers didn't care at all, and they bravely stepped forward one by one to intercept the enemy army.

Soon, under the courageous interception of these soldiers, the enemy's attempt was disrupted.

Because they were worried that the Wu army would take the opportunity to attack the city by opening the gate of the Acropolis, those defenders who came out of the main city could not enter the Acropolis and complete the task of reinforcing the defenders of the Acropolis if they could not repel the interception of the Wu army.

……

Not long after lunch, there was finally good news, but it was not good news from Yang Wu, but news from Wang Maozhang in the north: Wang Maozhang's troops had captured their acropolis, destroying more than 1,200 enemy troops defending the city, and losing more than 1,100 of their own.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Pei also had good news there, they also successfully broke through the enemy's acropolis and wiped out more than 800 defenders.

Soon after, Yang Wu's side also made a breakthrough, and Ni Kefu finally decided to break through after seeing that the general trend had gone and the Acropolis could no longer be defended.

Under the response of the defenders in the main city, Ni Kefu finally escaped back to the city with more than 300 remnants, and the remaining more than 900 people were either killed or taken prisoner.

Only Hou Zhan's side failed to break through the Acropolis until the afternoon when the sun set.

It's not that Hou Zhan's ability is much worse than the other three, but because Hou Zan was originally a cavalry general and didn't know much about siege.

Yang Wu asked him to supervise the siege of the city at the beginning, but this choice was a bit wrong.

Fortunately, after breaking through the other three acropolis, even if Hou Zan failed to complete the task, it didn't matter.
