The army advanced cautiously, from noon to evening, as Han Shushu expected, the army was not blocked by the enemy, and not a single enemy was found.

Ye Xiong also sent Jinyiwei to report several times, but each time he said that the enemy disappeared and there was no trace, which made Wang Xu even more worried, even Jinyiwei couldn't detect it, so where would the enemy be?

It had been a long time since he had felt this way, and Wang Xu began to panic in his heart, the invisible enemy was the most terrifying.

When he came to ten miles outside the royal city, the sky was already dark, and Wang Xu ordered people to camp in place.

Li Zhi and Sun Yu also knew about the 30,000 enemy troops, and the two took the initiative to ask for orders to personally arrange the camp.

In order to prevent the enemy from bringing cavalry to charge the camp, the two placed a large number of rejecting horses outside the entire promised area, dug a trench one zhang long, and counted night patrol soldiers and standing guard soldiers.

In short, the protective measures were excellent, and the two were confident that as long as the enemy came, they would be able to meet the enemy head-on.

However, with such careful arrangements, the two waited all night, but none of the enemies came, and they were all in vain.

.............

Early the next morning, Wang Xu reacted thoroughly, and immediately summoned all the civil and military generals to the Chinese army's big tent.

Wang Xu said: "Since the 30,000 troops did not come last night, then their intention is obvious, they must want to attack from behind when we attack the royal city, and join forces with the enemy army in the city to annihilate us, think about it, how should we deal with it?" ”

It dawned on the generals that this was the case.

Han Shushu, Murong Yuan and others also guessed this possibility, and Han Shushu said: "King Wen, don't pay attention to those 30,000 horses. As long as the Zhou War is in the hands of our army, they will only surrender. ”

Everyone smiled, Zhou Zhan? What are you kidding, that's the prince of Hexi County. In the royal city, how can it be said that if you catch it, you will catch it.

Wang Xu didn't understand what Han calligraphy and painting meant, and immediately said, "What do you mean?" Got the word clear. ”

Han Shushu smiled and asked, "Dare to ask King Wen how he wants to capture the royal city?" ”

Wang Xu said: "Of course, the door was blown open with clay pots, although the people in the county town were made of iron, but I am confident that I will use five hundred clay pots to blast him open." Maybe even the city walls will be cracked, so what's so difficult about this, as soon as the city gates are opened, my army can drive straight in. ”

Han Shushu said: "King Wen, I want to modify the calligraphy and painting slightly." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Han Shushu said: "The west and north walls sent 5,000 soldiers respectively, bringing a large number of ladders to attack the city, and the south sent 40,000 soldiers to bring all the siege equipment, so that the enemy mistakenly thought that we were going to attack from the south." And the enemy's 30,000 men will only pay attention to the south and ignore the other three sides. ”

"For the rest of the east, Prince Wen led an army of 30,000 to go, bring a secret weapon, blow open the city gate and kill in, so that the enemy must be invincible, we can kill the palace in the fastest time, control the Zhou War, and the rest is needless to say. Use the weekly battle to force all enemy forces to surrender, so that the overall situation can be determined. ”

As soon as Han Shushu finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands again and again.

"Well said!"

Wang Xu also nodded with satisfaction. The secret path is not simple, although this is just a small strategy, but it is very useful.

"Okay, according to the plan of calligraphy and painting, the generals will arrange it quickly."

..................

The sun is rising, and the sun is shining on the earth.

Wang Xujun took full action. In order to prevent the sneak attack of the 30,000 people in the shadows, Wang Xu's battalion was uprooted, and even Zhang Xue went with the army, and Wang Xu sent Zhang Meng to lead all the Yulin troops to be responsible for protection.

In the palace, Zhou Zhan couldn't stop walking around the main hall, he was waiting for the battle situation.

"Newspaper..."The soldier ran quickly into the main hall.

Zhou Zhan hurriedly said: "What's the matter, is the enemy coming?" ”

The soldier said: "Coming, tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming at the south gate, carrying a large number of siege equipment, and it is expected that the battle will start in half an hour." “

Zhou Zhan nodded, asked the soldiers to retreat, he looked at the many generals above the main hall, and said, "I heard it, go and prepare quickly, and gather with General Ji Ying to annihilate Wang Xu." ”

The generals were about to make a promise, but at this moment several soldiers ran in.

"Newspaper... Thousands of enemy troops were found to the west, carrying a small number of ladders. ”

"Newspaper... Thousands of enemy troops were spotted to the north, carrying a small number of ladders. ”

"Newspaper... Tens of thousands of enemy troops were found in the east, without carrying any siege equipment. ”

After all the soldiers finished reporting, Zhou Zhan frowned directly, the enemy attacked in four ways? What do you mean? Moreover, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in the north, but they do not carry any siege equipment, which is extremely strange.

Prime Minister Ai Song said: "Lord, no matter what the intentions of the thief army are, we only need to act according to the plan, there are only thousands of enemy troops on the west and north sides, and we can't afford any big storms, we only need to send 3,000 soldiers to go, although there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in the north, but they don't bring any siege equipment, send 5,000 people to garrison." ”

"There are tens of thousands of enemy troops in the south, and they are carrying a large number of siege equipment, we should put the main force here, and join forces with General Ji Ying to gather and destroy the enemy."

Zhou Zhan nodded, this arrangement was very appropriate.

"Okay, immediately order the west, north, and east sides of the city to defend, stick to the city, and don't slack off."

"The generals will listen to the order, follow the king out of the south gate, kill the enemy by surprise, and completely destroy the enemy!"

All the generals were in high spirits and said loudly: "Obey!" ”

Prime Minister Ai Song was shocked: "Lord, how can you go to the battlefield in person, or control the overall situation in the palace." ”

All the civil officials knelt down: "I beg the prince to stay in the palace." ”

Zhou Zhan was greatly disappointed, he had long wanted to kill happily, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't get his wish, in order to take care of the overall situation, Zhou Zhan waved his hand: "Okay, then the king will stay in the palace, and the generals should go to war quickly." ”

"No."

.............

A few miles away from the southern suburbs of Wangcheng, Ji Ying's army of 30,000 finally appeared, just as Wang Xu expected, the reason why he hid the army so much was to copy Wang Xu's back road.

Knowing that Wang Xu's army was based on the south gate, Ji Ying immediately led the army to advance quickly, but he did not attack suddenly, he was waiting for Zhou Zhan in the royal city to lead the troops to kill, as long as Wang Xu was attacked on both sides, he believed that he would be able to win a big victory.

Outside the East City Gate, Wang Xu arrived here with 50,000 troops, and Sun Yu's 10,000 iron cavalry was also again, although 3,000 of the 10,000 cavalry were newly recruited, but to engage the enemy head-on, it was definitely stronger than the infantry.

After waiting outside the east gate for about half an hour, he learned that Li Zhijun at the south gate was already starting to attack the city, so he ordered five hundred sword and shield men to bring five hundred clay pots to approach the city gate in front of him.

In fact, Wang Xu knows in his heart, five hundred clay pots, it will definitely be successful! Although the gate was made of iron, on both sides of the gate, the iron gate was stuck in the stone, and if not the gate could be destroyed, it could at least blow the iron gate open and pull it out of the stone.
