On the ladder, Wu soldiers are like ants, winding up, and the tall city walls of Lucheng collapse and darken in the sunset; After this day's fierce battle, Yonghu, the guard general stationed in Lucheng, looked at the direction of Wanqiu from afar, and killed himself with tears on the city tower.

The city was broken, the advance team of the Wu army attacking the city opened the gate of Lucheng, and Wang Sun Luo Gao waved the Hantian Sword and led the army into the city. The defenders of Lucheng were surrounded like iron buckets, and there was nowhere to escape. The army of Wu entered the city, and after a period of strangulation, the two thousand Chen troops disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only a red glow in the sky.

After the Wu army occupied Lucheng, Wang Sun Luo immediately ordered the soldiers to extinguish the fire in the city, clean up the battlefield, repair the damaged city wall, and reimprove the city defense system.

According to the strategic intention of King Wu, after conquering the city of Chen, Wu will extend its tentacles here, and King Wu intends to dominate the Central Plains.

Wang Sun Luo captured Lucheng, and knew that Gongzi stayed in Xiwan, so he sent a scout horse to inquire about the news of the enemy.

In the evening, Wang Sun Luo discussed the strategy of using troops with the prison army Xu Menchao. This time, King Wu sent troops to attack Chen, but did not issue specific strategic goals. As a coach, you can only make your own judgment based on the current strategic situation.

Wang Sun Luo thought thoughtfully, looked at the maps on several cases, and said to Xu Menchao: "Our army has captured Lucheng, and now we have to support the secret report, and General Chu Shan Fu led an army of 30,000, which has been blocked in the area of Juyang. ”

But Xu Menchao was still worried, and asked: "The coach's strategy of 'encircling points and sending reinforcements' has basically worked. However, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses to snipe at the 30,000 troops who float alone. How long will he be able to hold out? ”

"This commander understands the concerns of the supervising army, if we still want to expand the results of the battle, we must see how long the special support can hold the Chu army. That's what it means, right? ”

Xu Menchao nodded, came over and pointed to Bai Wan and Xi Wan on the map, and said with a smile: "I guess what the boss means, it seems that he is reluctant to give up this Bai Wan and Xi Wan?" ”

Wang Sun Luo Ha smiled and said, "Those who know me are also Xu Zi! With Ben Shuai's understanding of special support, he can withstand at least half a month. Bai Wan is nothing more than an empty city, negligible; It's just that this Xiwan's son has 10,000 Chen Jun. It's a bit tricky. ”

"Isn't the boss worried, once the special support can't stand it, the Chu army will kill me from behind. Are we going to lose? ”

Wang Sun Luo said in a sullen voice: "We haven't fought with the Chu army for a long time, and we don't have a full grasp of the truth and reality of the Chu army. After ten years of recuperation in the state of Chu, King Zhao is a generation of virtuous monarchs, which is not simple. He is a famous general of the Chu State. If we make the wrong step. You're going to lose everything! ”

"That's the starting point of Sangkook. According to Xiangguo's meaning, at this time, it is best for Wu not to fight with the Chu army, as long as it is tempted to find out that Chu State will rescue Chen, we will withdraw our troops immediately. The strategic directions of the Great King and the Xiangguo are both in the opposite direction, and it is naturally difficult to synchronize such military operations. ”

Wang Sun Luo's face turned worried, and he said to himself: "The king is anxious to dominate, and Xiangguo wants to destroy the more and consolidate the rear. Although Ben Shuai agrees with Xiangguo's national policy. But how can we, as courtiers, disobey the will of the great king? ”

"The coach meant after capturing Xiwan and Bai Wan of Chen State. Shall we withdraw our troops and return home? ”

Wang Sun Luo nodded and said: "Capturing the three cities of Chen State can convey the strategic intent of Wu State: no matter how strong the backer is behind you, it is unreliable!" ”

"Yes, we can't compromise the national prestige of Wu! We now have the ability to capture these three cities, and we can hand them over to the king. Of course, our goal of testing the state of Chu has also been achieved. ”

After the two generals finished planning, Wang Sun Luo made up his mind and prepared to send troops to attack Xiwan tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Sun Luo left 1,000 Wu soldiers to garrison Lucheng; He personally led a large army to Xiwan.

Xiwancheng is located in the west of Lucheng, only twenty or thirty miles away from Lucheng, there is a small river called Wanshui in the middle, this Baiwan is in the upper reaches of Wanshui, and this Xiwan is in the downstream of Wanshui.

Wanshui is just a small river, and when there is no big water, the water is not more than the knees.

After a while, the Malay newspaper reported: "There is no change in Xiwan City!" The gates are shut! ”

Wang Sun Luo shouted: "Explore again!" ”

Wang Sun Luo grabbed the reins of his horse, turned around and said to Xu Menchao beside him: "Ben Shuai has never figured it out, why did the commander of the Chen army station 10,000 troops in Xiwan City, but ignored Bai Wan?" ”

"Xiwan City is much larger than Bai Wan, so it's convenient for him to garrison!" Xu Menchao guessed.

Wang Sun Luo waved his hand and said, "Definitely!" If it was a general, would you ignore this Bai Wan? It is just right to use Bai Wan and Xi Wan to support each other. If our army attacks one of its cities, the other city can rush to its rescue, and this is the way to defend the city. ”

"This Chen Jianggongzi may want to preserve his strength, right? Judging by what he meant, it seems that he did not come to defend the city in peace. ”

Wang Sun Luo sighed: "Ben Shuai also feels the same way. If he doesn't rescue Lucheng, you can see his selfishness. According to Ben Shuai's understanding of Chen Guo, now Chen Yugong has finally grasped the real power, but he is worried about the minister's dictatorship, so he attaches great importance to military power. The 10,000 Chen army is all Chen Guo's belongings, so he let his own brother stay to lead this army, and he can rest assured. But I see that after this son left the army and came out, he didn't want to engage us. ”

"Oh, does he mean to be self-respecting?" Xu Menchao muttered to himself.

"Yes, Chen Guo's belongings are in his hands, as long as Chen Guo is not destroyed, what is it for us to capture a few of his cities? Childe used this as an excuse to resist the enemy and control this army in his own hands. Then put Chen Xianggong in the air, and Chen Guo was in the palm of Gongziliu. ”

Xu Menchao had to sigh and said: "The boss is really meticulous in plotting against the enemy, and the general has the true inheritance of his grandson!" ”

"What are we worth? On that day, Sun Tzu and Xiangguo led tens of thousands of people to crisscross the Chu country for thousands of miles, so it was called a cool! ”

The two of them each looked up and laughed, kicked the horse's legs, and rode away.

In the afternoon, before the army reached Xiwan City, Wang Sun Luo ordered to go down to the village 5 miles away from the city.

On the second day, Wang Sun Luo explored the terrain of Xiwan and sent troops to attack the eastern, southern, and northern gates of Xiwan, leaving only the western gate unattacked.

Wang Sun Luo's siege of the city this time was also strange, and he didn't need to rush the car and ladder, but just let the soldiers shout under the city, and sent soldiers to dig a trench under the city, wanting to connect the moat of Xiwan with Wanshui.

The Chen army in the city saw that the Wu army was just shouting for three days, and did not attack the city, and saw that the Wu soldiers were digging the moat, thinking that the Wu army must have a treacherous plan.

Gongzi stayed even more like a year, I heard that Wu General Wang Sun Luo was extremely capable of using soldiers, but now this formation made him confused for a while, and he had no determination to defend it, so he had the intention of retreating.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, the sky has darkened, and the moon has risen. Wang Sun Luo is in the big tent, and he doesn't know how many circles he has turned. It seems that it is not easy to take Xiwan City without spending a single soldier.

Xu Menchao persuaded: "The boss doesn't have to worry about it, if Chen Jun still doesn't see any movement today, we will attack the city tomorrow!" ”

"Could it be that my judgment of Childe is wrong? Will he really defend this projectile city? Wang Sun Luo was unwilling.

"This cannot be ruled out either. After all, we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and when we attacked Lucheng, we also lost hundreds of soldiers, and he used 10,000 Chen troops to defend the city, and it was not without a chance of victory. ”

Wang Sun Luo shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't Ben Shuai waste five days in vain?" ”

At this time, a small colonel came to report: "Boss! Our army probed the horses and found that Chen Jun went out of the city from the west gate at night. The patrol sergeant asks for reinforcements! ”

Wang Sun Luo and Xu Menchao looked at each other and smiled, Wang Sun Luo ordered: "Order the night patrol soldiers: Chen Jun broke through at night, I don't know what the details are, don't take the enemy lightly!" ”

Xu Menchao congratulated: "The general's plan has been completed!" Why not take advantage of the victory to pursue Chen Jun? ”

Wang Sun Luo had his own plans: "The main force of the Chen army is not injured, and the 30,000 troops of the Chu army are on his side, and it is enough to take the three cities of the Chen State!" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, although flags were planted all over the tower of Xiwan City, the city was empty. Wang Sun Luo got a report: Gongziliu, the commander of the Chen army, had already led his army to abandon the city last night and retreated to Luoyi.

Wang Sun Luo was overjoyed, knowing that Chen's army did not dare to move lightly, so he left 3,000 troops to garrison Lucheng, and also guarded the two cities of Baiwan and Xiwan. The detective horse was ordered to monitor Chen Jun's movements at all times, and report any changes in time. He led the main force of the Wu army to Juyang, wanting to join the Zhuanfu.
