Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east; The 50,000 border troops set out of camp, and Jia Hui and Ye Xiong were naturally in the queue.

A team of 50,000 people, plus tens of thousands of deniers of grain and grass, equipment, three trebuchets, and other siege equipment, the whole team is more than ten miles long, mighty, like a black dragon.

Lu Yang's southern expedition, Wang Cheng Zhou Yi got the news the next day, this is an explosive news, in order not to let the soldiers fall into panic, he blocked all the news in the city, and the whole city entered a state of first-level defense.

On this day, the spies arranged by Lu Yang in Wangcheng sent back a news, it is said that Wang Xu led an army of 80,000 to attack Wangcheng and killed the general of the Chinese army, Aguche, which shocked Jia Hui, Ye Xiong, and Lu Yang at the same time.

Who is Aguche? He was the first warrior of Guxi County, invincible, but he didn't expect to be beheaded and died in the hands of Wang Xu.

What Lu Yang is most afraid of is this person, Lu Yang's martial arts are not as good as Li Zhi's, and the two generals under him are even weaker in martial arts, and the three of them together are not Aguche's opponents, they have tried before, and they have been defeated repeatedly.

Lu Yang took a deep breath: "Now that Aguche is dead, I have nothing to fear." ”

Jia Hui drove forward immediately: "My lord's command is like a cloud, and Aguche is naturally not his enemy." ”

Lu Yang's face twitched, Aguche was not a small threat to him, but Wang Xu's generals were able to kill Aguche, which made Lu Yang impressed, and he had a new understanding of Wang Xu

Wang Xu military camp.

Zhang Meng was scolded with a rod for thirty military sticks three days ago, and now it has been restored to its original state, in the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered, looking at each other, Wang Xu strode in from outside the tent, came to the main seat, threw his sleeves and sat down, he showed a faint smile on his face: "It is reported that Lu Yang's army has been pulled out, and it is expected to arrive in the royal city tomorrow." ”

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Congratulations, my lord."

Everyone was happy, attacking the royal city was a feat, and it would be best if there was a helper.

Huang Quan said: "Lord, with Lu Yang's help, Wang Cheng can be destroyed with a snap of his fingers, but." ”

Huang Quan wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Xu waved his hand: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Huang Quan said: "Lu Yang's subordinates are all elite soldiers, is he willing to let his soldiers climb the city wall?" The border army is so strong, the lord is in the field, he will definitely suggest that Zhou Yi be lured out of the city, but Zhou Yi is now frightened, how can he come out, in the end he will still let us fight. ”

Sun Yu nodded and said, "There is such a possibility, and the lord has to guard against it." ”

Wang Xu smiled lightly and shook his head: "Whether Lu Yang comes or not, we will be the main force attacking the royal city, gathering our 80,000 people, it is enough, what is lacking is just siege equipment, such as trebuchets, flying bridges, building cars, etc., and these, Lu Yang's army has them." ”

"Of course, what you said is also good, although they have produced a large number of equipment, but the siege troops must also be released, otherwise we will suffer too much, so before the war, I will make it clear to Lu Yang, we will give 40,000 to the first batch of siege troops, and they will give 20,000, I think he will not have any objections."

Li Zhi frowned: "Lord, is it too much for us to give 40,000?" ”

Huang Quan interjected: "Lu Yang has always been shrewd and never suffers, if he really promised to send 20,000 troops to attack the city to help in the war, it would already be a great luck." ”

Wang Xu also thought so, after all, Lu Yang only had 50,000 people, but he had 80,000, and he also had countless siege equipment, and it was not easy to come up with 20,000 people to help in the war.

"Huang Quan." Wang Xu said abruptly.

"Yes."

Wang Xu said: "Immediately select 40,000 weak brigades from the army and divide them into eight siege troops, each with 5,000 people for training, as for the equipment configuration, each unit can be equipped with 500 pairs of hard bows, and the remaining 4,500 people are equipped with heavy armor, shields, and horizontal swords for siege purposes." ”

"No." Huang Quan responded.

But after thinking about it, Huang Quan said again: "Why do you want to use all weak brigades? ”

Sun Yu understood Wang Xu's intentions, looked at Huang Quan and said: "It is inevitable that there will be casualties in siege warfare, since casualties are necessary, why not sacrifice the weak brigade and retain the elite?" ”

Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction: "If Lu Yang agrees to send 20,000 elites to help in the battle, it doesn't matter if our 40,000 horses are elite or weak, and it is a foregone conclusion to break through the royal city!" ”

After a moment of discussion, the meeting was not dissolved until noon

In the royal city, Zhou Yi walked alone in the garden, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, dazzling, others would cast envious eyes when they saw it, but he knew that there was nothing to envy, and this position of prince was probably not long in coming.

He already knows the news of Lu Yang's southern expedition, he knows a lot about the combat power of the border army, if you talk about field battles, the 90,000 people in the city are probably not the opponents of the 50,000 border army, even if it is to defend the city, it is extremely dangerous, and even more terrifying, there are Wang Xu's 100,000 troops from the side to assist, if you want to hold the royal city, it is difficult.

Moreover, Aguche had already died in battle, like a broken arm, there was no general in the city, the army was discouraged, and there was no fighting spirit

He was thinking about it, when a person hurriedly walked in the distance, and Zhou Yi looked at it and immediately greeted him: "Wen Qing, have you come up with any good plans?" ”

Wen Qing took two breaths and said, "There is no strategy, but there is good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Zhou Yi said urgently.

Wen Qingxi said: "Last night, the ministers watched the sky at night and found that from tomorrow, there will be heavy rain in the area of Guxi County, as long as half a month, that is to say, it is impossible for Wang Xu to attack the city within half a month, and it is even more gratifying that Lu Yang's border army will arrive as soon as tomorrow evening, but as soon as the rainstorm comes, his siege equipment will fall into the quagmire, especially trebuchets. ”

Zhou Yi was overjoyed: "They can't attack the royal city?" ”

Wen Qing shook his head: "As soon as the sky clears and the ground dries, the siege equipment will be transported to the king's city, and the city will be attacked, but by the time the ground is dry, it will already be a month later, and the weather will be cold at that time, and it is winter, which is especially unfavorable for attacking the city with them." ”

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed, that is to say, Wang Cheng will be lost sooner or later, but it is just one more month to be a prince.

Wen Qing understood Zhou Yi's thoughts, and offered advice: "The prince can use this month to give the imperial capital a share of the concession and ask for reinforcements, as for whether the court will agree, it is all up to heaven's will." ”

Zhou Yi thought for a while, "Okay, play the fold!" ”

Zhou Yi seemed to see hope, muttered, and then strode towards the study to the east. Now I can only pin my hope on the imperial court, if I only rely on my own strength, I will not be the opponent of Wang Xu and Lu Yang.

After a short time, the fold is written, and the flying horse is issued; Zhou Yi was finally relieved.
