It has been ten days since the siege began. However, this small Kunyang has never been able to be captured.

Wang Yi and Wang Xun were already impatient.

Obviously, there are not many soldiers in the city, and the walls of the small city are not very tall, but no matter how hard you try, you can't let the seemingly insignificant city in front of you fall.

But they couldn't give up Kunyang and went directly to rescue Wancheng.

Not only because Kunyang holds the choke point to go south to Wancheng, but also because there is a person in the city that they have to kill.

Liu Xiu.

Wang Yi sighed, still thinking about his son Wang Mu who was still in Wancheng. But before leaving, the words spoken by His Majesty when he summoned the two of them into the palace are still vivid in his ears......

- "Remember, no matter what, you must kill Liu Xiu." Mu'er is my disciple, and with Han Zhuo by his side, even if Wancheng falls, he will never die. But Liu Xiu ...... Liu Xiu must be killed! ”

Wang Mang gasped for breath hoarsely, staring at Wang Yi and Wang Kuang with his eyes: "This is an order, an order that must not be disobeyed!" ”

"Your Majesty's appearance at that time was really terrifying...... Wang Yi still had palpitations until he remembered the scene at that time.

Wang Mang, who is already over the age of old, has been so thin that his whole body is almost skinny and bones, like a skeleton. The wide tiara was worn on his body, almost like it was hanging on a hanger, and it was so empty that it almost blew a gust of wind to blow him away.

And his hands grabbed the wrists of Wang Yi and Wang Xun like iron hoops. Where did that burst out, and they still can't figure it out.

And Wang Mang's gaze at them was like a tiger in the mountains that was about to age to death, still radiating a fierce light.

"yes...... The domineering spirit that used to be like that has not subsided. But ......" Wang Xun also nodded, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty's body, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Even if the body is fine, the world of this new dynasty is only afraid of ......" Wang Yi frowned: "You and I withdrew from Hebei with 200,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to giving up the two states of Youji to the Red Mei Army." The defenders of the Great Wall were also transferred to Nanyang, and the entire northern defense line was gone. Only in Chang'an and Tongguan remained 20,000 or 30,000 troops. If we can't quickly suppress the rebels in Nanyang and return to Chang'an, I'm afraid of ......"

Wang Xun sighed deeply and didn't speak again, both of them had fallen into deep pessimism.

……

Liu Xiu looked at the soldiers of the New Army who retreated like a tide under the city again, and his body, which was still full of energy, seemed to be evacuated all of a sudden, and fell backwards softly, and was quickly held by Ren Guang.

"Finally...... Retreated again. Liu Xiu smiled weakly at Ren Guang: "Thank you." ”

Ren Guang's left arm and left leg were wrapped in bandages, which were injuries sustained in the previous battle. In the fierce battle, the wound broke again, and blood kept oozing from the bandage, and it turned red.

Liu Xiu's appearance is not much better than him. In addition to a gunshot wound on his waist, there was also an arrow wound on his left cheek, but fortunately, the strength of the feather arrow had been reduced when it flew up to the city, and it was only a bruise. Otherwise, the arrow would have pierced his skull.

"Already...... It's been twenty days. Brother hasn't captured Wancheng yet......" Liu Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed lightly.

"The Lord must be attacking the city with all his might. If he gave up Wancheng at this time and came to Kunyang Yuan, then everything before would be wasted. The Lord naturally knows which is more important. Ren Guang said in a deep voice: "What's more, the Lord must also believe in the young master's ability and will defend Kunyang before he arrives!" ”

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold it......" Liu Xiu sighed and looked down from under the city wall. After twenty days of fierce fighting, the enemy forces under the city walls were still boundless, as if they had not diminished in the slightest.

Now the defenders in the city have less than 6,000 people left. Even if they are still alive, they are all injured.

"We've got to increase our troops......"

Liu Xiu looked at the siege under the city and muttered to himself.

"Reinforcements? Where to increase the troops? Ren Guang was stunned, thinking that Liu Xiu was talking nonsense.

"Break out and find reinforcements!" Liu Xiu sat up suddenly, and his eyes lit up: "That's right! We're going to break through and find reinforcements! ”

"Wancheng must be attacking the city every day now, I'm afraid that there won't be extra troops to aid Kunyang. Besides......" Ren Guang shook his head: "Besides, the city is surrounded by regiments, how to break through?" ”

Liu Xiu laughed: "Wancheng naturally has no spare strength to aid Kunyang, but have you forgotten that there are still thousands of troops in Dingling and Yuncheng when you go to the southeast?" If I'm not mistaken, there were Hirabayashi soldiers stationed there. My brother and I have a pretty good relationship with them, and if we can bring them back, we will be a little more sure of defending the city. ”

"This ...... It's just suicidal! Ren Guang grabbed his hand in shock: "Young master, be sober!" ”

"I'm sober, Ren Guang." Liu Xiu patted Ren Guang with his backhand, and his gaze was as clear as water: "I'm serious." And you know, when I decide something, you can't stop me. ”

Ren Guang looked at Liu Xiu calmly and said softly, "Then ...... It's even worse. ”

……

"It can't be! Don't dream! ”

In the conference hall, Liu Xiu's statement was only exchanged for Wang Feng's roar.

"There are less than half of the soldiers in the city, and now you still have to divide your troops to break through the siege and ask for help? Before you bring back reinforcements, the city will already be ruined! It's broken! Wang Feng stared at Liu Xiu fiercely: "How do you plan to break through the 400,000 troops outside the city, and how do you come back with reinforcements?" ”

"I just said that I wanted to break through, I didn't say that I wanted to divide the troops." Liu Xiu shook his head calmly: "I don't take troops out of the city. ”

“…… What did you say? Wang Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu.

"I said, when I break through, I won't take a single soldier from the city." Liu Xiu smiled: "The rangers under my brother's command were all handed over to me as guards before they came to Kunyang. To this day, only ten have died. I only take them with me. I think, no matter how tight the defense of the city is, it is not short of ten people, right? ”

"You...... Do you want to take ten people and break through the siege outside? Break through the encirclement of these 400,000 people? Wang Feng looked at Liu Xiu as if he had seen an idiot and laughed: "If you say that you can bring one or two thousand people to break through, even if I don't believe that you can succeed, you will always be serious about what you say." But...... Ten people? Ten people? Liu Xiu, do you think that the 400,000 people outside are all papier-mâché? ”

"I'm just asking you, okay." Liu Xiu looked at Wang Feng coldly.

"Okay! Yes! Absolutely! Wang Feng continued to laugh, laughing breathlessly: "I can double it for you, it doesn't matter if there are twenty people!" I hope you bring back reinforcements! Our defenders in Kunyang City, but they are all looking forward to it! ”

Liu Xiu looked up at Wang Feng's still arrogant laughing appearance, and sneered: "Duke Xie Chengguo." The subordinate retired. ”

"Go and die! Idiot! ”

At the moment when Liu Xiu closed the door, he clearly heard Wang Feng's smug and vicious scolding inside.
