Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi, who had always been obedient to his advice, rejected him without thinking about it: "No, you go out to ask for help, and today you will lead your henchmen out of the city and ask for reinforcements in all directions." General Kui took the lead in guarding the castle of Chaoge, Dr. Shi was responsible for the security and logistics in the city, and He'er was in command. I've made up my mind, and that's it. ”

The big thing was agreed, and everyone retired. Gongsun Yu walked at the end, suddenly hesitated, turned his head and saw that Mrs. Qi had not left the table and got up, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked softly: "Madam, entrust the safety of you and your son to Kui Duoyou, and the minister is really not at ease." He ------After all, he is half of the Kui Rong blood, and his mother is ------"

He didn't finish his sentence, but how smart Mrs. Qi was, how could she not hear the meaning of her words? She picked up the white jade on the case and replied lightly: "You have a lot of heart." Kui Ziliang and the current King Kui Rong have turned their faces, and the two of them are in the same situation. He has no place in the grassland, who else can he rely on except He'er? Besides------" She took a sip of the honey syrup in the syrup, put it down gently, and said in a light tone: "After all, he is also my Ji surname Wei, and this matter can still be carried clearly." ”

Although Gongsun Yu felt that his words were reasonable, he was still unwilling. According to his expectations, he is the first confidant of Mrs. Jun and Gongzihe, how can he leave his master at this critical moment of life and death? hurriedly pleaded: "As Mrs. said, Kui Ziliang is useful, but why don't you send him out of the city to ask for help?" Sending the minister out of the court? If there is a case, the subordinates will not be able to excuse themselves for their death! ”

"How do I know your faithfulness? It's just that Kui Duoyou is alone, wandering around, without any concern, if he is sent out------ what if he ignores my mother and son? Perhaps in order to comfort Gongsun Yu, Mrs. Yi deliberately left the table, approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Defending the lonely city is not a way, the most important thing is to ask for rescue, in order to solve the plight of the son and the danger of defending the country." If you don't send your own people out, I'm afraid that others won't do their best, Yu Ke understand? ”

Gongsun Yu raised his eyes, only to see Mrs. Qiubo's flowing eyes in a fog, and he was stunned for a while. When she opened her mouth, she didn't know what she was saying, and Mrs. Qi's eyes were a little strange. The two were stunned, but Mrs. Qi broke the embarrassing atmosphere: "Okay, the military situation is urgent, you quickly bring your henchmen and get out of the city as soon as possible." Remember, for a month and a half at most, you must move in to the rescue. ”

"Madame rest assured, the minister will move in to rescue the soldiers, and the whole family will live and die with his wife."

Chaoge City was originally the former capital of Yin Shang, and was known for its strong city walls and deep moats. Unlike other countries, there is also a low wall between the moat and the city gate, called the "secondary wall", which is used for defense. The suspension bridge is lowered from the Jigaki Gate, and you can enter and exit freely on weekdays. In wartime, the drawbridge was retracted, and the moat became an obstacle to the enemy's attack.

Kui Duoyou, Gongzi He, and Shijiao worked together to demolish all the houses within a radius of five miles outside Chaoge City in one day, and all the door panels and stones were transported into the city as materials for defending the city. All the trees were cut down and the bushes were burned, leaving no shelter for the enemy cavalry, and completely exposed to the view of the defending sergeants.

Inside and outside the city, the lanterns are fought at night, day and night. At dusk on the second day, the soldiers and civilians of Chaoge finally saw the advance of the Kui Rong cavalry------

Kui Nu was triumphant, this time he had been the vanguard, leading tens of thousands of Kui Rong cavalry all the way to kill, so not majestic! Unexpectedly, when I saw the moat several zhang wide outside the city wall, and the tall and solid stone city wall, I was immediately dumbfounded, and I didn't know what to do.

It should be known that Rong Di was mainly cavalry, and he had always only plundered in the border areas of the Zhou Dynasty, and the cities he passed through were all small towns, but they were rammed earth walls, some of which were low and unbearable, and there were slopes, and they could even ride horses. What is the place of the court? In the former capital of Yin Shang, the city wall is rammed with hanging plates, covered with masonry, and even the iron fence can only make a hole in the top, how is this good?

More than a dozen horsemen did not know whether they were alive or dead, and they were stunned to jump over the moat, but they all fell into the river, and all the men and horses drowned. At this time, the Rong people were all hesitant and turned their eyes to the leader. Kui Nu was also furious, and he had already seen that the majestic young general on the second wall was Kui Duoyou. Why don't you want to capture him alive?

There are also subordinates who have the idea that they can cut down wood and build bridges, and some patriotic craftsmen have been captured along the way, which can come in handy. But it is already barren land within a radius of five miles from Chaoge, and if you want to cut down trees, you have to look for them from afar. Fortunately, Kui Nu still had a good brain, and he ordered the soldiers to use cloth bags to carry the soil, and first fill in the moat to make a ridge for men and horses to pass through.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kui Duoyou ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the enemy, but the archers could only shoot to their own side of the river at most. I had to put down the Yuanmen faction and send the team to shoot arrows and harass in front of me, but in this way, my own men and horses were also within the range of the opponent's archers. In this way, there were casualties on both sides, and the progress of Kui Rong's mounds was slowed down, but Kui Duoyou's side could no longer be lost like this.

As it grew dark, the moat was filled in with a mound about five feet wide, and the cavalry rushed across the river like a tide to the foot of the second wall. Kui Duoyou understands that tonight's fight has officially begun.

Although the second wall is not a formal city wall, the gate wall is also taller and heavier than ordinary people's houses, two or three people high, nearly half a foot thick vermilion lacquer gate is covered with copper skin, after the door latch, it cannot be broken without a heavy hammer. The Rong people were frantically beating the door outside, but there was no shaking at all, and it was useless to cut and stab with knives and guns. The guards shot arrows and stones from above, and shot and killed countless people.

Kui Nu ordered the log on the king's tent to be carried and slammed against the door, and on the other side urged his men to climb the ladder to the second wall. Who knew that Kui Duoyou had already prepared a lot of ash poles more than two meters long, the top was sharp, the shaft was light, and the wall was supported by two people, but when he saw that someone wanted to climb up along the simple ladder under the wall, he poked it hard. I only heard the screams again and again, and the sound of "plopping" a few times, immediately a few were pierced through the palate or chest, and fell down heavily.

There are also brave Rong people, wielding big knives to climb the wall, who knows that the wooden pole is tarred, waiting for the idle sharp weapon to cut it and do not move; There are also nimble skills, and the wooden pole is not stabbed, and there are already archers watching from above, and they will shoot down with a few strokes.

After a moment's pause, Kui Nu also asked his archers to assemble under the wall and shoot arrows at the wall together, so as to cover their companions to climb up, and for a while the arrows were full of arrows. In a moment, many of the soldiers holding wooden poles were hit by arrows, and Kui Duoyou asked people to quickly replace the wounded.

Kui Duoyou brandished his long sword and ordered the soldiers to take out small packages of lime, avoid the rain of arrows, and quickly raise their hands to scatter it. The limes were blowing one after another, and there was a scream of "ouch" below, mixed with cursing and exclamations-

"Close your eyes and sprinkle lime on them!"

"Guards are shameless things, and they actually make such a means ------"

After nearly half an hour, the Rong people stopped attacking, and it gradually became quiet inside and out. But Kui Duoyou knew that this was the enemy brewing a new offensive. According to the competitive character of Kui Nu, he will never lose face, and he must make great achievements before the arrival of the army of the Endless King to save face. He instructed the sergeant: "Brothers, be careful, the Rong people will attack again!" ”

Sure enough, within a moment, the Rong people covered their eyes with a thin strip of cloth and shouted to climb the wall again. This time there were many people attacking, and the people on the earthen wall were crowded, and it was too late to shoot arrows and poke poles.

At this time, the oil pot that had been erected on the wall had already emitted a terrible green smoke, and Kui Duoyou screamed to spread the barrels of boiling oil, and then "stabbed" and splashed down. I only heard the howl of a ghost crying wolf in an instant, accompanied by the smell of burnt human flesh, which was particularly terrifying in the middle of the night. At this time, it was spring, and the soldiers who poured oil were wearing cotton jackets and leather holsters. But the Rong people at the bottom have taken off their furs since they entered the defense realm, not to mention that they were poured on their heads and immediately lost half their lives, even if they were splashed a little around, they were also in severe pain to jump their feet.

The pouring of oil was far greater than the impact area on the side, and the Rong people suffered heavy casualties in this attack, and the lower head stopped for a while.

Kui slave is angry, but there is nothing he can do, since he killed his father and seized the throne, he has never planted such a big heel, so how can he brag in front of the endless king in the future? He could already imagine the sarcastic corners of the eldest prince's mouth.

The subordinate said: "King, it can't go on like this." There are heavy casualties on our side, and this is only the second wall of Chaoge, and we can't take the Weidu tonight. It is better to rest and recuperate, for the shepherds have been on the road for most of the day, and have fought until the middle of the night, and have not even eaten supper. I can't beat it! Wouldn't it be better to wait for the arrival of the army of the Endless Country, and attack the city together with the two armies, and take it in one fell swoop? ”

No matter how stubborn Kui Nu was, he had to bow to reality, and he only agreed halfway: "Okay, rest tonight, and wait until dawn tomorrow to attack the city." If you can't take the song, at least you have to take the next wall first. Otherwise, what face do I have to stand on the grassland? ”

At three o'clock in the morning, a new round of offensive of the Kui Rong cavalry officially began. This time, Kui Nu was like a gambler who had lost a red eye, and he bet all his bets regardless of it, and he was unwilling to give up if he didn't win the next time.

The gate was surrounded by dry wood collected overnight and set on fire, and the red-hot copper skin and the hardwood inside twisted and let out a painful wail. In order to prevent bows and arrows from the wall, the soldiers leaned close to each other in unison and raised the wooden shields in their hands above their heads, protecting the top of their heads like a big fish with tight scales, as well as protecting the burning fire. Countless short ladders appeared overnight, which were the products of the craftsmen spurred by the Kui slaves overnight, and countless soldiers brandished broadswords to climb the wall, and gradually the guards were a little overwhelmed.
