Wen Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Doctor Yong's plan is very good, but it is possible for us to build a city wall in just ten days!" ”

Gou Jian frowned and said, "Don't talk about this, does the widowed Yue Kingdom have to defend in the face of a small Han State?" Gather all divisions to Huiji City, at most fifteen days, and the outnumbered Yue Kingdom will mobilize enough soldiers and horses to deal with the Han army! ”

"Since it is impossible to rebuild the western wall, then the lord and the minister beg not to be so optimistic, the Han army is not easy to deal with! In fifteen days, at most, five or six thousand people were gathered, and the Vietnamese army did not have much advantage in terms of strength. The minister suggested that the lord should immediately send someone to ask for help from Wu State! Once Wu intervenes, no matter what the situation is, even if Huiji City is captured by the Han army, Yue Guo will turn the corner! Yu Yong said sincerely.

When Gou Jian heard this, his brows tightened, and he was silent for a while and said: "The widow believes in the combat effectiveness of my warriors of the Yue Kingdom!" Facing a small Han state, Yue Guo does not need to ask any of the vassal states for help, otherwise the Yue State will lose face in the vassal country! Doctors don't need to say much! ”

Hearing this, the tongue moved his lips, and finally could only turn into a light sigh.

The literature on the side also felt that it was a little inappropriate for Gou Jian to do this, but Gou Jian had already said this, and he didn't have anything to say. can only hope that things can really be as good as Gou Jian thought, and nothing will change.

…… Zhuji City ...... "What did you come from?" Yang Zilu took a small roll of paper handed over by the remnant bamboo, and asked casually, "The one sent by Huijicheng is probably the news of Gou Jian's court meeting." Remnant Zhu said.

"Oh, really." Yang Zilu glanced at the spread of the paper ball, and sneered: "Gou Jian is really not an ordinary stupid, he actually thinks that Zhuji City can hold on for half a month, naïve!" ”

After Yang Zilu finished speaking, he looked up at the trebuchet erected beside him, the three-zhang high trebuchet was like a little giant, which was daunting. "Is it assembled?" Yang Zilu shouted to the imperial guard not far away.

"Lord, it's just three of them. This guy is so big that it takes an estimated eight days to assemble ten of them. Yu Yu trotted in front of Yang Zilu and said.

"Eight days? It's been three days now, we can't afford to waste any more time, how are the siege engines and siege ladders prepared? Yang Zilu asked.

Yu Yu raised his head slightly, thought for a while, and responded: "Lord, these are almost ready, thirty siege ladders have been built, and two siege vehicles have been formed. ”

"Okay, let the black bear lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to besiege the south gate, and let Mang Gao lead the cavalry to besiege the north gate, well, this force is a bit small, let Chonghu lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to assist Mang Gao to besiege the north gate. Xia Huroar led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters as the vanguard of this battle! Yang Zilu methodically ordered the order.

Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord, our main force has nothing at the West Gate, but what about the East Gate?" The east gate is closest to Huiji City, and if it does not besiege him, it is easy for the Vietnamese army to escape. ”

"I just want him to escape, this is the best in the art of war! If people are in the Jedi, they will burst out with unimaginable fighting spirit. This will lead to a lot of casualties in our Han army, but if we give them a way to live, then the Vietnamese army will be lucky, and many Vietnamese soldiers will want to save their surnames and lives so abruptly. And didn't you see that I put the cavalry at the north gate? Even if the cavalry chases after the troop vehicles that are not the Vietnamese army, those infantry still have no problem! Hearing this, Yang Zilu said with a sneer.

There are three people in one military vehicle in Vietnam, but twenty-five people are equipped with apprentices (infantry). Therefore, Yang Zilu was not afraid of how much combat effectiveness the Yue country would be preserved if the military vehicles of the Vietnamese army ran away, and he fled if he escaped. Instead, it was the defeated infantry that was the main target, but when they were all scattered in the field, it was simply a favorite of the cavalry. The loss of a few hundred infantry, although it will not hurt the Yue country, is definitely not a good thing.

"The Lord is wise!" When Yu Yu heard this, he woke up to the fact that Yang Zilu's seemingly flawed plan was actually a trap step by step.

"Alright, don't say more, go down and tell the soldiers to get ready!" Yang Zilu waved his hand disapprerovingly at Yu Yu's flattery, and said in a deep voice.

"No!" The royal secretary responded respectfully.

…… ...... in Zhuji City, "Doctor, the Han barbarians are mobilizing their troops, and the main forces are all transferred to the west gate, and what is strange is that there are no Han barbarians surrounding the east gate." The county teacher reported to Gao Ruyu suspiciously.

Gaoru's position is a doctor, and it was impossible to come to Zhuji City to serve as the county doctor of Zhuji City, but after Juwucheng was occupied by Yang Zilu. The geographical location of Zhuji City is becoming more and more important, Zhuji City is only more than 100 miles away from Huiji City, the capital of Yueguo, replacing Juwucheng to become an important town in the south of Yueguo, and the location is more dangerous. After the loss of Zhuji City, Huiji City spread out all its defenses. Especially now that the four gates of Huiji City have gone to one side. Therefore, Gou Jian appointed Gao Ru as the county doctor of Zhuji City, and it can also be seen that Gou Jian has hopes for Gao Ru.

In the environment of the Han army approaching the city, the pressure faced by Gaoru can also be imagined. Gao Ru frowned and asked, "What does Han Jun mean by this?" Give the dummy? ”

When the county teacher heard this, he thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that this is the only situation!" ”

"Come on, immediately send a hundred soldiers and horses stationed in the county capital to the east gate to garrison immediately!" Gaoru said with a solemn face.

When the county teacher heard this, he was surprised: "Doctor, is this too risky?" There are only a hundred people stationed at the other three gates, and once the Han army will make a plan, I'm afraid there will be big trouble! ”

Gaoru said with a solemn face: "What you said, haven't I thought about it!" But in this situation, we can only go all out against the Han army, and we can't have the slightest hesitation, either put these 100 people at the west gate, or let them go at the east gate. If there are fifty people in one class, then they are afraid of tigers and wolves, and they will only get nothing in the end! ”

"It's all to blame this damn Chinese people, and at this time, they are actually facing Yang Zilu!" When the county teacher heard this, he cursed angrily.

When Gao Ru heard this, he sighed and shook his head and said: "I can't blame them, the Lord doesn't know what to do with this passage, two consecutive changes in the morning and night, plus the soaring price of food, how can it not make the people of Yue Country cold?" And for the people of Yue Country, if they can live a good life if they change a monarch, what will they care about, is this monarch Yang Zilu or the Lord? ”

"This thing...... Alas, "When the county teacher heard this, he opened his mouth, and finally he didn't know what to say, and turned into a sigh.

"Okay, let's not talk discouraged here, I'll go to the West Gate to sit in the town, you go to the East Gate to sit in the town, if anything happens, I will light the beacon, and you will immediately lead the soldiers and horses to support, you know?" Gao Ru commanded with a serious face.

The county commander also put away the sadness on his face, and said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely guard the east gate well, if the Han army dares to send people to sneak attack, the last general will definitely teach them to come and go!" ”

"Well, I'm relieved to have you say that......" Gaoru nodded, just about to say something encouraging.

"Boom!" A loud bang interrupted Gaoru's voice.

"What happened?" Gaoru's face changed slightly, and she asked loudly.

A small soldier ran in in a panic and responded: "Doctor, the Han army is attacking the city, and they have a very special weapon that can throw boulders over." ”

Gao Ru didn't care about talking to the county division, and made a quick gesture to the county division, and he had already strode out of the county hall, boarded the military vehicle and set off towards the west gate. The county division also hurriedly led a hundred people towards the east gate.

Yang Zilu raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, glanced at the rockfall point that had already settled, and saw that the city wall smashed by a 120-pound boulder that had just been test-fired, revealing a big notch, and he could vaguely see that there were clods of soil falling on the city wall.

"However, the landing point is a little not good, so people should adjust the shooting angle a little higher, and they have to hit the battlements on the city wall." Yang Zilu commanded indifferently.

"No!" The Imperial Commander replied, and immediately went down to instruct the craftsman to adjust the angle of fire.

It didn't take much time for the trebuchet to swing his giant arm again. But again, it's not one boulder, it's three. And it's not the kind of medium-sized stone bullet that was one hundred and twenty pounds before, but a boulder weighing three hundred pounds, these three are irregular boulders about one meter high and about one meter five wide, obviously just collected from the nearby mountains, and have not been polished too much, with sharp edges and corners, which are particularly hideous compared to the round stone bullets.

It was the first time for the Vietnamese soldiers to encounter such a horrific weapon, and some could not help but let out a cry full of horror.

"Bang! ......Three boulders, one fell on the wasteland not far from the city wall, smashed a small pit, rolled several times in succession, crushed the weeds outside the wasteland, and a boulder climbed over the city wall, I don't know if it fell into the street or a house. There was only one boulder, but it was enough to make the Vietnamese army scared.

The boulder churned in mid-air and landed on the inside of the corner tower on the city wall, "Boom! With a loud bang, the corner tower collapsed immediately, and the broken bricks and stones poured down like a torrential rain, burying and smashing the Vietnamese soldiers and people on the edge of the corner tower mercilessly and smashing to death. But the boulder was not finished, and after smashing into the corner tower, the boulder immediately flicked into the walkway of the city wall. With an indomitable momentum, on the corridor of the city wall, a flesh and blood corridor about two or three zhang long was rolled out.

The Vietnamese soldiers who couldn't dodge didn't even shout out a scream before they died, and they had become a mess of flesh.

Gao Ru, who had just climbed the city wall, was stunned, he believed that many soldiers in the Yue Kingdom were not afraid of death, but the tragic death made all the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom feel frightened.

Seeing this, Yang Zilu nodded with satisfaction, pulled out the sword on his waist, waved it vigorously, and roared: "Attack!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The rapid beating of the drum was like a little spark, igniting the blood of all the Han soldiers.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Han army excitedly raised their weapons, they held siege ladders, pushed siege vehicles, held tower shields, and charged towards Zhuji City.

At this time, the trebuchet did not rest, and the trebuchet took advantage of the time for the soldiers to charge, and they once again threw three boulders that touched the nerves of the Vietnamese army. A boulder sent the previously badly damaged corner tower to hell, because of the ravages of the previous boulder, the collapse of this corner tower did not cause too many casualties to the Vietnamese army.

A boulder crossed the city wall and fell into Zhuji City, but this boulder that crossed the city wall took the two Yue soldiers exposed on the battlements to hell, their heads shattered like watermelons. The last boulder smashed a battlement in the wall, revealing a gap about half a foot wide. In this gap, the Vietnamese soldiers who lost the protection of the battlements were obviously more likely to be erected by the Han soldiers to set up siege ladders here.

"Longbowmen, use the bows and arrows in your hands to tell the Yue people! It wasn't the boulders that scared them the most, but our longbowmen! Han Jiading, who had already arrived at the firing range, passionately encouraged the longbow soldiers.

"Kill!" When the longbowmen heard this, they immediately let out an excited roar.

"Put! Shoot the dog! Han Jiading waved the red flag in his hand and roared with all his might, as if he had released all the strength of his body in this roar.

The longbowmen did not roar, but the bows and arrows in their hands roared, and the arrows poured on the city wall like a torrential rain, and the sound of the arrows breaking through the air even surpassed the roar of the soldiers for a time, becoming the highest voice in the ears of the Vietnamese army. But the arrows fired by the longbowmen did not rely on quantity instead of quality like a rainstorm, they also had an almost monastic hit rate. As long as a Vietnamese soldier dares to come forward, then the next moment he will become a hedgehog. Sharp arrows will pierce the shields of any Vietnamese soldier.

In the case of the longbow soldiers suppressing the Vietnamese soldiers at the head of the city, the Han infantry rushed to the city wall with a very calm posture and erected the siege ladder.

After the siege ladder was settled, the Han soldiers let out a roar in unison, they held their shields in one hand, their mouths biting their long knives, and quickly climbed the siege ladder with their hands and feet.

"Quick! Light the beacon! Gaoru ordered anxiously and helplessly.

The war developed so fast that he, and even all the Yue soldiers, couldn't react at all, especially those weapons that could throw boulders, which were simply the embodiment of demons. Although he did not let the Vietnamese army kill or wound too many soldiers, but more than 20 soldiers and more than 10 people, he dealt too much damage to morale. The sense of oppression that does not know when it will befall one's head, and the feeling of powerlessness that is powerless to fight against it, all hit the morale of the Vietnamese army all the time.

Sensing that something was wrong with the West Gate, the guards of the South Gate and the North Gate, who were closer to each other, sent fifty people each to support, although they did not receive Gaoru's order. Of course, they sent half of their soldiers so arrogantly, because the two Han armies in the north and south were only besieged, and did not attack the city, otherwise they would not have been so easy.
