One day passed unconsciously, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

The air in the morning was exceptionally clear, Wang Xu got up early to do a morning exercise, and then ate some food (secretly eating), and called Sun Yu and others.

Wang Xu said, "In today's battle, we can no longer rely entirely on Lu Yang, I am ready to send 5,000 weak brigades to help in the battle, not to take the royal city, but only to hope to greatly weaken the enemy's strength." ”

Looking at everyone: "I wonder if any of you is willing to lead the army to attack the city?" ”

Zhang Meng was overjoyed: "Lord, let me go." ”

"The last general is going to fight!"

Several people came out of the ranks, and the fighting spirit was high.

This siege is a real auspicious and unpredictable, Wang Xu didn't want Zhang Meng to take risks, ignored Zhang Meng, he looked at the remaining seven people in the big tent, Jia Hui could directly rule it out, because it was a civil official.

Sun Yu, Li Zhi, Qiancang, Huang Quan, these four people are generals who lead the troops alone, and Wang Xu doesn't plan to let them take risks, and the only ones left are Qin Shuang and Min Ling.

Qin Shuang joined the army earlier than Min Ling, and he was the same brother as Li Zhiqing, and he had led troops to fight before, so he could be properly cultivated, and after the exclusion was completed, Wang Xu's eyes looked at Min Ling.

"Min Ling listens to orders."

"The end will be."

Wang Xu said: "Let's go this way, give you 5,000 weak brigades, and you can go to the barracks to choose now." ”

"Order." Min Ling agreed, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Min Ling left, Wang Xu waved his hand: "Okay, let's disperse." ”

Huang Quan and Sun Yu looked at each other, looked at Wang Xu, and arched their hands at the same time: "Lord, aren't we going?" ”

"No need, tell the soldiers of the whole battalion, rest and stand by today, keep your spirits up, there will be a big battle tomorrow!" Wang Xu said.

"No." Everyone has their own thoughts, but they don't know what Wang Xu means, and even Sun Yu and Jia Hui can't guess it.

Everyone turned around and was about to leave, when Wang Xu suddenly said, "Jia Hui and Sun Yu stay." ”

After a while, there were only three people left in the big tent, and Wang Xu said directly: "If we can attack the royal city by surprise, with our current strength, is it possible to control all the officers and soldiers in the city?" ”

Jia Hui and Sun Yu glanced at each other, shocked in their hearts, Jia Hui said: "What does the lord mean to be able to take the royal city without blood?" ”

"The time is not yet ripe, and everything will not be known until tomorrow." Wang Xu sold a pass, and then said: "You estimate, if our army quietly marches into the royal city at night, is it possible to succeed in one fell swoop?" ”

Jia Hui felt more and more that Wang Xu was profound, sometimes he couldn't see through it, since Wang Xu asked like this, it was very likely to do it, immediately, Jia Hui was extremely shocked, he had a bold guess in his heart, maybe there was another force in the royal city that was Wang Xu's, and this force could control the city gate to respond!

Sun Yu said: "If the midnight raid is successful, the success rate of controlling the royal city should be more than seventy percent. ”

"Why only seventy percent?" Wang Xu was slightly dissatisfied, what he wanted was 100% certainty.

Sun Yu analyzed: "There are 60,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 recruits in the royal city, after the first battle the day before yesterday, after today's battle, there should be only 50,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 new soldiers left in the royal city; In addition to the 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the Sifang City Gate and the inner city, the number of troops in the Wangcheng school yard should be around 40,000. ”

"Our army has 90,000 soldiers, and if we suddenly attack and attack, we should be able to settle the battle within three hours, but if we do not end the battle before the soldiers stationed at the city gate return, then we will be attacked on all sides, and the situation is worrying."

The head of Sun Yu's analysis is Dao, Wang Xu believes that it is true, in fact, Wang Xu can call Lu Yang to attack the royal city together, but Wang Xu is a little worried, what should I do if Lu Yang grabs things after entering the city? For example, gold and silver, grain, horses, etc., these have to be guarded against, because if it is a field battle, Wang Xu is really not sure that he can defeat Lu Yang, if Lu Yang turns his face, he really doesn't know what to do.

Jia Hui said: "If the lord really has a way to attack the royal city, why not call Lu Yang together, there are Lu Yang's border troops here, and the officers and soldiers in the city are not worth mentioning." ”

"Do you think Lu Yang is reliable?" Wang Xu asked rhetorically.

Jia Hui said, "Lord, our enemy at the moment is Zhou Yi, and now we are starting to suspect Lu Yang, is it a little too early?" ”

"People have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries, Wangcheng is a piece of fat, and Lu Yang is a tiger, we are fighting with tigers, it is very dangerous, we have to guard against it."

"What does the lord mean to break through the royal city with the power of one person?" Jia Hui worried: "If we can't grab the meat, our vitality will be greatly damaged, and finally let the tiger sit and reap the profits." ”

Although Jia Hui spoke straight, he was reasonable, Wang Xu was very confused now, whether he should be called Lu Yang or not, this is a difficult question to decide, maybe this will be an important choice in life.

Life is like a chess piece, one wrong step, a full loss!

"I'm in a mess right now, you guys go down first, I'll think about it again."

"No."

Jia Hui and Sun Yu walked out of the big tent

Outside the royal city.

Min Ling led 5,000 weak brigades to arrive, at this time Lu Yang was already setting up the army array, but there was no siege, he was waiting for Wang Xu, but he was very disappointed, Wang Xu did not come.

Seeing Min Ling coming with five thousand soldiers, Lu Yang said, "What about General Wang?" ”

Min Ling said: "The lord ordered me to lead 5,000 troops to help in the battle, and I was sent by General Hou." ”

Yuan Qiang took two steps closely, approached Lu Yang and whispered: "General, Wang Xu is deliberately evading, look at his soldiers, they are all old and weak, and they have no combat power at all, how to attack the city." ”

"I have promised Wang Xu before that I will send 10,000 troops to attack the city, and it makes sense that he will not come." Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's just this time, tomorrow I will change Wang Xu to battle." ”

Sighing, Lu Yang said: "Pass the order, attack the city!" "I can only pay a moment of silence to the five thousand elite soldiers.

Yuan Qiang was helpless, tens of thousands of soldiers would die in two days, the price was too great, and the result was only for the illusory Guxi throne and nineteen cities.

Yuan Qiang clamped the horse's belly and came to the front army: "Beat the drums, start the war!" ”

Five thousand elites slowly marched towards the city walls, and the siege battle began

Min Ling was on Lu Yang's side, and said, "General, when you need us to go up, please just ask, I will not give up." ”

Lu Yang glanced at Min Ling with contempt, then looked at the five thousand troops behind him, and immediately said: "Your five thousand people are all recruits, and their combat strength is too weak, so I am afraid that if you rush forward, you will be sent to death, and it will be useless, so let's keep it." ”

"You" put a hot face on someone's cold buttocks, and Min Ling suddenly felt disgraced.

No matter how he said that he also had 5,000 soldiers in his hands, he could help make up for it, but he didn't expect the other party to be so rude, Min Ling was furious, and immediately said: "Then it depends on the general's majesty, I'll wait here to watch the battle!" ”

"Whatever you want." Lu Yang said indifferently, in his mind, Wang Xu's army has nothing to do with him, because he has fulfilled his promise, 10,000 soldiers have died, and King Guxi and nineteen cities have arrived.

Min Ling and Lu Yang were speechless, staring at the battle ahead with wide eyes.
