It's a night watch.

Wang Xu's entire camp was immersed in a tense atmosphere, because Wang Xu had ordered everyone to stay in the camp tent and stand by, and ordered Sun Yu, Huang Quan, Li Zhi and other senior generals to attend the meeting in the Chinese army's big tent.

This meeting is the most important meeting since the crusade against Zhou Yi, Wang Xu attaches great importance to it, therefore, all the senior generals participated, Sun Yu, Huang Quan, Li Zhi, Qin Shuang, Qiancang, Min Ling, Zhang Meng, a total of seven generals, of course, Jia Hui is a military advisor, also included in the meeting.

Everyone stood in the big tent, quietly waiting for Wang Xu, and at this time Wang Xu was looking intently at a map in front of him, 'Guxi County Detailed Map'.

After watching for about half an hour, Wang Xu looked up at everyone, his eyes were very sharp, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

"The theme of this meeting is, Capture the Royal City tonight!"

One sentence made all the people in the big tent open their mouths wide, except for Zhang Meng, of course, because he already knew what was going on tonight, and he was fully prepared, Wang Xu said that he would let him kill him happily.

The big tent was a little noisy, Wang Xu pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then picked up the map on the table and said: "This map was sent by our people in the royal city, and it marked the distribution of all the troops in the royal city; I have already made an agreement with Liu Yang, who is stationed at the south gate, that tonight's third watch, with my rocket as the number, he will open the south gate and welcome our army into the city. ”

"Great." Huang Quan was overjoyed.

Sun Yu was also happy, and immediately said, "Then we can occupy the royal city tonight." ”

Jia Hui finally understood at this time, it turned out that there were really people in the royal city, and it seemed that there was going to be a big battle tonight.

Wang Xu suddenly raised his voice, and said with a straight face: "This battle will determine the final ownership of Guxi County, and will determine the fortune and disgrace of the soldiers, we have no extra chance, there is only one chance, if we are defeated, we will die without a place to be buried, and the bones of the enemy will be destroyed!" ”

After a pause, Wang Xu said, "Are you afraid?" ”

Looking at everyone in the big tent, who was afraid, all of them were full of energy and smiling, as if they had picked up a few thousand gold.

Huang Quan smiled: "My lord, what do we have to be afraid of, I prefer to confront the enemy head-on rather than a difficult siege battle." ”

"Not bad." Sun Yu also said: "Our siege equipment is too poor, and Lu Yang's can't be compared, now that Lu Yang is gone, we will have a lot of difficulties if we want to break through the royal city, fortunately, now we can have a way to enter the royal city, this is really good, as long as we can lead the army into the royal city, the final general will guarantee that we will win!" ”

Sun Yu was full of confidence, and Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"That's it, I haven't fought for many days, and my hands are itchy, haha, I'm going to kill a lot today!" Zhang Meng smiled excitedly.

Wang Xu pressed his hand and continued: "There is only one chance, I hope everyone can go all out." ”

Unfolding the map, Wang Xu said: "Time is limited, so I won't discuss it with you, I have studied this map for a day, and I have a comprehensive plan for tonight's military operation." ”

Everyone quieted down and waited quietly for Wang Xu's arrangement.

"The Guxi Royal City is divided into an inner city, an outer city, and a palace, with three layers of defense, and there are only more than 1,000 Yulin troops stationed in the palace, so you only need to send a general to lead 5,000 soldiers."

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, the big tent scrambled up, and they all stared at Wang Xu with wide eyes, and they all wanted to go; However, Zhang Meng was not in a hurry, because the thousand feather forest army was too small, and it was not his dish.

"In addition to Zhang Meng's 2,000 personal soldiers and Sun Yu's 5,000 iron cavalry, there are 82,000 left in my camp, plus the ambush soldiers on the valley, a total of 85,000, I will temporarily divide these 85,000 people into 17 battalions, 5,000 people in each battalion."

His eyes swept to everyone, and finally his eyes fell to the end: "Qiancang listens to orders." "As for who will attack where, Wang Xu has already planned, and he is only waiting for the order at this time.

"The end will be."

Wang Xu said: "Just you, lead a battalion of soldiers to capture the palace, but one thing to remember, not to move a single grass or tree in the palace, after defeating the Yulin army, the palace will be supervised." ”

"Order!" Qiancang was extremely excited. It was his first solo lead and an opportunity to prove his ability.

Wang Xu looked at the map and continued: "In addition to the palace, there is also the square gate of the royal city, the south is already in our hands, don't pay attention to it, the rest of the east, west, and north must be sent to occupy, I have investigated clearly, the internal and external forces of each city gate add up to six thousand people, but fortunately, these six thousand people are all recruits, and they are stationed in the inner and outer cities, so only one battalion of soldiers and horses can be dealt with it, I don't ask you to defeat the six thousand enemy troops at the city gate, as long as you can block it for three hours!" ”

"Which of you wants to go?"

In the big tent, everyone was in high spirits and asked for battle, even Jia Hui was eager to try, but Wang Xu just smiled, it was not appropriate for Jia Hui to lead the troops.

"Li Zhi, Qin Shuang, and Huang Quan listen to orders." Wang Xu said abruptly.

The three of them came out of the ranks: "The last general." ”

Wang Xu said: "Just you, each lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to go forward, occupy the east, west, and north, and the three city walls respectively, as long as you can block the enemy for three hours, then you have made a great achievement." ”

"No." The three of them immediately responded.

Huang Quan was the first to follow Wang Xu, he knew in his heart that his martial arts were not as good as Sun Yu and Zhang Meng, and his ability to lead troops was not as good as Li Zhi and others, so he made up his mind that this time he must not just block the enemy army, he must kill all the enemies, otherwise, how can he suppress the merits of other generals.

As for Li Zhi and Qin Shuang, both of them have similar ideas, as a general, they must make meritorious contributions in order to maintain their current status, especially in this battle, it is a decisive battle with Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi is the old master, this is the time to prove the loyalty of the two.

Wang Xu looked at Sun Yu and said: "There are still 10,000 elite cavalry of Zhou Yi stationed in the north school field, although these 10,000 elite cavalry are not good at equestrianism, but every soldier is an elite soldier, Sun Yu, do you dare to lead the people of the headquarters to meet the battle?" ”

The soldiers and horses of the headquarters are the five thousand iron cavalry under Sun Yu!

Sun Yu was very confident and said, "Don't worry, Sun Yu will go all out!" ”

Wang Xu smiled and nodded: "With you in the battle, I don't worry!" But don't hurt the 10,000 horses, it's all yours, and when this battle is over, I will expand the number of cavalry, and then you will be in charge!" ”

Sun Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you, lord." ”

Now all the places in the royal city where there are soldiers have sent soldiers and horses, and the only ones left are the 35,000 elite soldiers in the east school field, which are the soldiers that Zhou Yi is preparing to defend the city, and now there are seven left, under the hands of the seven generals.

"In addition to the soldiers and horses sent out, we have thirteen battalions of soldiers left, making a total of sixty-five thousand; Min Ling was wounded, and ordered him to lead 5,000 people to guard the camp, and the rest of the people, all of them, went out with me to take all the enemy troops in the East School Field, which is the main battlefield, as long as the enemy troops in the East School Field surrendered, we would be half of the victory. ”

Hearing that Wang Xu was going to leave him in the camp, Min Ling immediately knelt down: "Lord, let me go, this injury is nothing." As he spoke, he suddenly ripped off the bandage around his arm.

Wang Xu was taken aback: "What are you doing, quickly wrap the bandage, besides, there must be someone to guard the camp, this is a heavy task." ”

Min Ling was very disappointed, and reluctantly stood up and retreated to the side, in fact, he also knew that it was very dangerous to fight with injuries, and he might die, but he had to fight, Qiancang joined the army with him, but now everyone is leading the army alone, if he does not participate in this battle of Wangcheng, then who does this credit ask for, and will he still have a status in the army in the future.

Jia Hui understood Min Ling's mood very well, looked at Wang Xu and said, "Lord, in my opinion, let him go, the camp doesn't need to be garrisoned." ”

Wang Xu frowned: "Why don't you need someone to garrison?" ”

Jia Hui said: "Didn't the lord also say that there is only one chance, in this case, what are we going to do in the camp?" If we fail, we will all die without a place to be buried, just a big battalion, how to resist the counterattack of Zhou Yi's army? So, we can only win, not lose! ”

Jia Hui said this to Wang Xu's heart, at this moment, Wang Xu thought of an allusion in ancient China, history, called breaking the kettle and sinking the boat! In fact, Wang Xu also wanted to make a desperate bet, but he had always been cautious, and he was used to leaving a way back for himself, so he thought of letting Minling garrison the camp.

Thinking about it, Wang Xu's face became firm, he took out the sword on the platform on the side, and said, "Okay, let's go, we don't have to stay, if we don't win tonight, we will die together!" ”

Min Ling was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to agree, and he threw a grateful look at Jia Hui.

Wang Xu threw his sword to the ground and said suddenly: "Regardless of victory or not, I will announce the most important military rule; There are hundreds of thousands of people in the royal city, and our army is invading, and we are not allowed to kill a single person indiscriminately, otherwise, the murderer will be worth his life! At this time, Wang Xu's face was already cold.

Everyone shuddered at the same time: "Yes." ”

"Inform the soldiers of the whole battalion to immediately pull out the camp and march westward until they reach the royal city."

"No." The crowd answered.
