In the early morning, the earth was filled with not a slightly wet morning mist, but a smoke of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated.

The gray-white smoke, with a choking smell, lingered in the heavens and the earth for a long time, mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.

The city was full of stumps, broken arms, masonry and rubble. Between the ruins, under the city walls, the wounded soldiers, who still had a breath of life, howled in tears, helplessly reaching out in vain among the dead man's pile, imagining that someone would pull them along.

Beside the walls of the city wall, the tall siege towers still stand, but they are full of traces of battle, full of holes, and one of them is still burning with fire.

The stubborn will of the ghost army to resist made the battle very fierce. When the siege tower was erected at the head of the city, the ghost army directly used the hidden back hand, the fire oil canister. Different from the Tang Army's grease clay tank, the Youjun's oil tank is filled with animal and vegetable fat, although the combustion efficiency is not as good as the stone grease clay tank, but it is also a fire weapon.

In the face of the Tang soldiers who rushed to the city, the defenders of Youguo were not merciless. The elite armor soldiers were at the front, blocking the impact of the Tang army. At the same time, the dead soldier of the Youjun Army, with a canister of fire oil, jumped directly onto the siege tower of the Tang Army and lit a raging fire.

In an instant, the exit of the siege tower turned into a sea of fire, and there were more fire oil torches, and hot gold juice was vented from the city.

The soldiers who were burned by the fire rolled on the ground without stopping. Those soldiers who were drenched with gold juice could grab the scalded flesh and blood on their bodies with their hands, revealing the white bones of the forest people.

Until now, after a night. The smell of blood wafting between heaven and earth was mixed with the smell of stench and barbecue.

Wang Bo took his guards and walked through the barracks. Yesterday was a tentative attack, and the most elite first division of the Tenth Army was used, mainly to see how the combat strength of the Youjun army in the city was. If you want to attack the city again today, then the whole army will have to go up.

When it was daybreak, the non-commissioned officers in the large battalion rose at the orders of the officers. The smoke of breakfast also rose in the camp, and Wang Bo stood beside an iron pot, stirring the thick hot porridge inside with a spoon, and asked, "How many of our people have died?"

Wang Pu stood behind Wang Bo and replied respectfully, "Back to the prince, in yesterday's battle, more than 1,000 of our people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured!"

Most of these people who died climbed to the top of the city and died under the attack of the defenders of Youguo. Most of the wounded were hit by stray arrows and rolling stones by the defenders of the Hidden Kingdom during the battle under the city. War is to kill people. Although he knew this truth, Wang Bo still frowned in distress.

Wang Pu looked at Wang Bo's face and said very calmly, "Lord Wang, how can there be immortals in war! The last general dared to say something unpleasant, more than 3,000 casualties were nothing! The Youjun attacked Zhuolu, but they paid a price ten times more than that."

Wang Bo raised his head and looked at the Fuyang City Wall where there were figures busy shaking in the smoke of gunpowder, those two city walls were the key attack sites of the Tang Army yesterday, and the city walls were already dilapidated. The Youjun stayed up all night last night, building non-stop.

"Collect the corpses of the sons and daughters who died in battle, cremate them early, and put them up!" Wang Bo's gaze moved to the Tang soldiers in the camp, and continued: "Remember the names, pack the ashes, send them home, and the bereavement pension will be doubled. Tell those magistrates that they should give more land to the families of the sons and daughters who died in the war. They work hard for Datang, Datang can't let them have their families, and they still have worries!"

"The prince loves soldiers like sons." Song Shilun said behind him, "The minister thinks that when the three armies are circulated, the mercy of the prince should be demonstrated. The three armies will be more effective to death!"

Wang Bo squinted and glanced at Song Shilun coldly, the latter suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and immediately realized that his mind was guessed by Wang Bo, but he didn't care. He just lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

The generals in the Tenth Army, such as Wang Pu and others, looked at each other silently, and they all knew in their hearts that the acting king was not the first time to lead the army, and his heart had already been tempered to the point of being iron-hearted.

For the acting king, not to mention that more than 100 people died, even 10,000 people died, as long as there are military exploits, he can treat it as if he didn't see it.

The reason why the acting king said what he just said was not because of the benevolence of the acting king's wife, but because of his temperament, not because he was hypocritical. After all, the more than 3,000 people who died were all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, Wang Pu opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to continue the siege today?" Don't look at the fierceness of yesterday's secluded army, in fact, it is the end of the crossbow. If the city is attacked today, the minister suggests that they attack him on three sides, first bombarding him with catapults for half a day, and then the heavy infantry will land on the city.

As long as you stand at the head of the city, you can clear the outer city of Fuyang in one day, and in two days, you can clear the whole city of Fuyang. Take down Fuyang, the door to the thistle capital is wide open, and the river is flat!"

Wang Bo looked at Fuyang again and said, "Lone is not worried about Frustration, it is a matter of time before the city is broken, what Lone cares about now is where are the reinforcements from Youguo?"

At this moment, suddenly a general, under the guidance of Wang Bo's personal guards, strode over.

"The last general, Meng Song, see the acting prince!"

It was Meng Song who came, and the Eighth Army had already arrived.

When Wang Bo saw Meng Song, he laughed loudly and said, "Marshal Meng came just in time, and this big camp will belong to you."

As soon as these words came out, not only Meng Song, but even Wang Pu and other generals of the Tenth Army were stunned.

Meng Song spoke, "Acting Lord, this ...... This is not good, the last general should take the Eighth Army to the eastern outskirts of Fuyang to build a barracks."

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Needless to say, this large camp in the western suburbs is inhabited by the Eighth Army, and this king will take the Tenth Army to the eastern suburbs."

Seeing that Wang Bo was so resolute, Meng Song couldn't refuse, so he had to bow down and salute, "Oh! I will obey the king's orders."

Wang Bo turned his head to Song Shilun and said, "Song Sima, we will fly the banner of the 18th Army, turn to the southern suburbs, and then arrive at the camp in the eastern suburbs."

Song Shilun nodded and said, "Oh!"

And just like that, a great migration began. The movements in the Tang Army's barracks naturally could not be concealed in Fuyang City.

Han Xuan lay on the battlement, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the military camp in the western suburbs of the Tang Army, his heart full of fear.

Zhang Lang looked at the Tang army outside the city and said, "Captain, it seems that the Tang army has come to reinforcements again, and there are no less than 50,000 people."

Han Xuan said worriedly, "Now the Tang army has reached 200,000 people, which is the same as the number of our army in the city."

Zhang Lang continued: "Lord Taiwei, the current plan is to ask for help from Jidu, and with our military strength alone, there is no way to break through the encirclement of the Tang Army. In particular, the Tang Army's camp is unusually strong."

The solidity of the Tang army camp, Zhang Lang was taught, he took nearly 5,000 Ji Du forbidden army out of the city last night to attack, and before he could touch the wall of the Tang army camp, he was discovered by the Tang army.

After being discovered, Zhang Lang thought that he could easily destroy the wall of the Tang military camp, but he did not expect that the Tang military camp was extremely strong, and it took great effort to make a few openings that could accommodate one person. Isn't this, there is no difference between these gaps and not.

In desperation, Zhang Lang had no choice but to retreat to Fuyang City with his army, and lost more than 2,000 of his 5,000 men. When Han Lu learned that Zhang Lang was defeated and retreated, his resentment towards Li Cong deepened.
