"Are you ready?" Ayan Yang asked in a low voice.

One of the soldiers didn't answer, just nodded vigorously. A rope was untied from his waist, and at the other end of the rope was a dark iron hook. The soldier took a few steps back, estimated the distance, threw the iron hook in his hand a few times, and threw it suddenly. The black iron hook, with the expectation of forty-eight men, clanged and landed on the city wall.

This jingle sound, although covered by the cries of insects in the autumn night, but I don't know why, Asunyang they feel particularly loud, like a loud horn. Everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to move, and they couldn't even breathe, as if they could hide the 'clang' sound. After half a ring, there was no movement on the city wall, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The soldier tugged at the hook and felt it grip on the top of the battlement. Immediately use both hands and feet, like an ape, climb up, but everyone dare not be careless, but the more this time, the more nervous their hearts become, and they all feel that their hearts are in their throats.

After half a sound, the soldiers climbed the wall, and in a short time rolled down a rope ladder from the wall. Ayan Yang felt a little relieved at this time, and after making a careful gesture to his subordinates, he took the lead in climbing up the rope ladder immediately. Probably because I was too tired during the autumn harvest during the day, or I was lazy. Anyway, Ayang led forty-eight soldiers to the city wall, and Cai Guoren had not noticed it at all.

"Do it!" Seeing that Cai Guoren was so relaxed, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, glanced at the soldiers around him, and commanded in a low voice. After saying that, Ayan Yang slowly pulled out the short sword on his waist and touched the city wall lightly, and the Cai State sentries along the way were either closing their eyes or sleeping soundly, and they were immediately wiped by Ayang and his soldiers with a sword.

However, when he was close to the city tower, Ayang's good luck also came to an end. A Cai soldier suddenly woke up, found the slowly approaching Ayang, was stunned, and immediately reacted, screaming in horror: "Enemy...... Raid!!! ”

Although Ayang rushed forward with an arrow and stabbed the soldier to death with a sword, it was to no avail. Shrill sounds have pierced the night sky.

Ayang gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, you take twenty-eight to the city gate!" The others follow me to the castle tower! ”

"No!" A general commanded.

"What people!" When he led the soldiers to approach the city tower, the soldiers stationed on the city tower didn't know if they hadn't reacted for a while, or because of the night, so they didn't find that the enemy was on the other side, and asked cautiously.

Ayang's heart moved, he secretly made a gesture, slowed down and said, "It's me!" ”

But the other side was not stupid, he was slightly stunned, and immediately someone shouted: "The accent is not pure, it's not us Cai Guoren!" ”

Now that he was recognized, but Yang Yang was decisive enough, he immediately roared: "Attack!" ”

After Ayang finished speaking, he immediately brandished the Changge that he had snatched from the killed soldiers and led the soldiers to launch a strong attack. These soldiers also knew that there was no way out for them at this point, so everyone fought hard, and there was a great deal of disregard for death. And although the Cai people were fighting, they hesitated, they didn't know how many enemies were coming, and they didn't even dare to be absolute if it was the Han army. In addition, they have to help with the harvest during the day, which makes them very tired one by one.

It didn't take long for Ayang to lead his soldiers to kill Cai Guo's soldiers. Acheng took the lead in rushing to the city tower, and together with several soldiers, he turned the winch, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered. Just when Acheng was about to bring people to support the city gate, the city gate was also "quack!" Ga! ".

Ayang immediately ordered the soldiers to light the beacon and send out the signal, although doing so would be discovered by all parts of Cai Guo, but Ayang was not afraid, because they only needed one night to deal with Cai Guo. If it can't be solved, they will retreat.

When he saw the signal appear, he immediately yelled excitedly: "Attack!" ”

When a thousand elite light cavalry saw the signal, everyone was excited, and after hearing the order, they immediately whipped the war horse, and the war horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped towards Caicheng.

It's strange that Cai Chenghou didn't know anything at this time, but now it's dark and communication is inconvenient, so it's difficult to mobilize troops even if he wants to. Cai Chenghou had no choice but to order the soldiers to defend Cai Hou Palace, he just hoped that the number of enemies who would sneak attack was not too much, so that he could support until daytime, and at that time he would have a chance to turn the tables.

But will there be no surplus to give Cai Chenghou a chance to turn around? When Chou Wuyu came to the outside of Cai Hou's palace, he saw that the palace gate was locked, and although the soldiers on the palace wall were flustered, they were also prepared. And his command is only light cavalry, and it is inconvenient to attack it strongly.

Chou Wuyu immediately and decisively ordered: "Set fire to this bird palace!" ”

A thousand light cavalry immediately found flammable materials nearby, tied them to arrows, and made rockets. Arrows are placed on all sides of Cai Hou Palace. Most of the houses in this era were made of wood, and for a time there were fires everywhere in the Cai Hou Palace.

The soldiers in the palace had no choice but to send out some of them to put out the fire. But it didn't take long for this talent to be separated, and he took the opportunity to launch an attack. Although the soldiers in the palace repelled the enemies of the Han army on three sides, the palace gate to the south was captured.

Chou Wuyu immediately sent a hundred cavalry, divided into ten teams, and rushed into the Chu state with torches in hand and set fire to it. In addition, each palace gate sent 200 cavalry to defend outside, and once someone rushed out, they would be killed.

He was ready to burn Cai Hou's palace to the ground, and the people inside were not left behind, so as to prevent Cai Chenghou from escaping in it. Because of their small numbers, they fought all the way, and now they are only about 900 people, and they have time to take care of the captives, how to distinguish Cai Chenghou from the captives one by one.

The soldiers in Cai Guo's palace didn't know how powerful they were, but they just kept fighting the fire, but under the arson of the Han cavalry, coupled with the original fire, the fire had reached the point where it could not be extinguished, no matter how much water was sprinkled on the house, the fire was only slightly weakened, but it didn't make people have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the fire had already burned violently again. Cai Chenghou only reacted at this time, and instead ordered the soldiers to break through. But how did you break through at this time?

Outside the palace gate, the Han soldiers placed a large mess of debris, which were not big, but sundries such as stones and giant trees. These debris are nothing to the infantry, and they can be crossed in one step. But these debris can make the military vehicle unable to walk. And although the infantry can get by, behind them are light cavalry ready to go, dealing with the infantry who rushed out in a hurry, and there is no time to form a formation. It's like a tiger running into a flock of sheep and killing as much as it wants.

Therefore, Cai Guoren broke through more than ten times, but they all failed. Cai Chenghou had no choice but to send someone out to beg for peace with Chou Wuyu, hoping that Chou Wuyu could let him go, but Chou Wuyu did not agree. Cai Chenghou had no choice but to break through again, but once it was not as good as once, and he had just rushed to the gate of the palace again, and was shot back by the Han army's random arrows. Under the threat of death, Cai Chenghou didn't care about any dignity, so he sent someone to Chou Wuyu to say that he was willing to surrender, but he just hoped to save his life.

The answer is simple and straightforward. Directly bent the bow and arrow, and shot the messenger sent by Cai Chenghou with an arrow, Cai Chenghou arrived at this situation, his heart was really like ashes, Cai Chenghou looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven is dead Cai Guo!" Heaven is dead! ”

After Cai Chenghou said this, he pulled out the three-foot-long bronze sword at his waist and killed himself.

The news of Xia Cai's capture by the Han army immediately spread like a plague. Gongzi Wa, who was originally defending Yang Zilu at the pass, was immediately frightened when he heard this, and said that Cai's Han army had thousands of people, and it was not good that there were tens of thousands. Gongziwa no matter how these tens of thousands of people can come to Xia Cai unnoticed, he is just afraid of being hit back and forth. Gongziwa actually left behind an army of 10,000, but only took hundreds of his own private soldiers and fled to the state of Chu for refuge.

Cai Guozhong's people who were able to preside over state affairs, one died, and the other ran away. The rest of Dr. Cai Guo immediately ran out of ideas, but they didn't have to have ideas. After Yang Zilu received the news, he immediately approached. When the dragons were leaderless, Cai Guo also knew that he couldn't defeat the Han State, and wherever Yang Zilu went, the local officials immediately went out of the city and surrendered. From Cai Guo's killing of the Han envoy Chishi to the destruction of Cai Guo, it only took about ten days.

…………

"What are you talking about, Cai Guo was actually destroyed by the Han barbarians in just ten years?" Ye Gong looked at the original doctor Cai Guoqing who was kneeling down the steps in disbelief.

"Yes, Ling Yin! Please Ling Yin must avenge my Cai Guo! Childe covered his face with his sleeves and cried in mournful voice.

Ye Gong frowned, thought for a while, and said: "It is naturally incumbent on you to avenge Cai Guo, but as the saying goes, the sky cannot be without words, and the country cannot be without a king." I'm going to ask the king to set up a prince as the monarch of Cai Guoguo! ”

Gongziwa smiled bitterly: "Cai Guo is gone, how can Cai Guojun come!" ”

Ye Gongan soothed: "Why didn't Cai Guo have it? I will let the king cut the new Cai City to the son, and let the Cai Kingdom return to the old capital! Restore the old soil! ”

"Thank you Ling Yin! I, Cai Guoding, will serve the Great Chu State for generations to come, and guard the eastern frontier for the Great Chu State! Children and grandchildren dare not forget the great kindness and virtue of the Great Chu State! Gongziwa kowtowed excitedly, in order to show his loyalty, Gongziwa almost swore to the sky.

Ye Gong nodded and said, "Childe doesn't need to be polite, come and take Childe down, and prepare a carriage for me to go to the king!" ”

When Gongziwa heard this, he didn't dare to disturb Ye Gong. In fact, what he said just now, isn't it just to let Ye Gong give him a piece of land to live in, now he not only has land, but also can take over the position of Cai Guojun, where is he still not satisfied? He was even more afraid that Ye Gong would be angry and erase his previous promise, and there was really no place to cry at that time.
