The city of Hongdu was in shambles, many houses were burned down, and the streets were lined with corpses.

Covered with bones.

The horse's hooves trampled on the corpse, letting out a terrible scream, and a strong smell of blood spread throughout Hongdu City.

Some soldiers were sweeping the wreckage and dragging the bodies away.

\"Huh~~\"

A horseman on a fast horse jerked the reins and stopped.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a pair of black boots, and a middle-aged man in a black robe stepped out of the carriage.

It is General Wu Jinfan!

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened. Wu Jinfan's eyes were extremely bright, he raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes shining with brilliance.

"General, there are strategists in the army who say that there have been strange movements in Hongdu City these days."

\"Hmm. Wu Jinfan responded, he turned around and said to a Wenchen beside him: "Lord Zhang, has anything happened in Hongdu City recently?" ”

Wen Chen pondered for a while and said, "There have been rumors in Hongdu City recently that there are ghosts in the city. \"

Wu Jinfan nodded, "Hahaha." "Some people believe this rumor, but who can say it clearly?" ”

"Hahaha........"

Wu Jinfan burst out laughing, his voice was hearty, and the laughter was deafening.

Zhang Qingjia was stunned, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

Wu Jinfan smiled, he waved his hand, "It's nothing, General Ben just thinks it's fun!" ”

"The rebels are exhausted, can they stop our army from crusading with ghosts and gods? Hehe....... It's ridiculous! ”

Wu Jinfan's eyes flashed with confidence, he seemed to have seen the scene of the rebels being destroyed, and thinking about it, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly.

Beside Wu Jinfan, Wen Chen looked at each other.

At this time, a general walked over, "General, Hongdu seems to have been prepared, and a large number of wooden camps have been found in front, and many thieves are gathering there." It seems to have been formed overnight, and someone should have moved a large amount of timber in a short period of time. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Jinfan raised his eyebrows, and he looked at the strategists behind him.

A member of Wenchen bowed slightly and said: "According to humble speculation, it should be the thieves of Hongdu City who let the people take advantage of the night to carry wood, which formed a large number of wooden camps. ”

Wenchen's analysis makes sense.

"Oh. These bandits are smart, too. ”

Wu Jinfan stood, looking at the distant sky. His eyes were deep and solemn, as if he could see through everything.

The corners of his mouth raised a touch of arc, looking confident and determined.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, blowing the long hair under Wu Jinfan's crown, fluttering in the air. He reached out and stroked his fluttering hair, as if to soothe the uneasiness in his heart.

"I don't die if I kill you, who will be spared by the sky!"

Wu Jinfan's voice echoed like an echo in the mountains. His eyes shone with determination and unyieldingness, as if to illuminate all the difficulties ahead.

The scenery around him also changes with his heart. The sky was getting gray, the wind was blowing, and the leaves were rustling.

The figures of the soldiers are particularly lonely and firm in this vast expanse.

Wu Jinfan took a deep breath and knew that he still had a long way to go, but he would keep going until he reached the destination in his heart.

Wu Jinfan had a mocking smile on his face, and then shouted loudly: "No matter how big their camp is, in the face of absolute strength, everything is just decoration!" ”

After speaking, many people responded.

"Yes! Be! The general is wise. ”

The civil official patted his ass, and the military general yelled "Yes!" ”

"Haha~~"

Wu Jinfan laughed insolently, his laughter filled the entire army, making all the generals shiver, this general's personality was too fierce and vicious.

Just when everyone thought that the general was going to order the destruction of the village, Wu Jinfan suddenly changed his mind.

"Immediately let the 10,000 soldiers of the rear army go to dig the river, let the river be diverted, and flood the city. \"

"Wow~~~"

This is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle! Everyone exclaimed, looking at Wu Jinfan in disbelief.

Wu Jinfan didn't care at all, just glanced at everyone lightly: "You don't have to be so surprised, as long as you can destroy the city, everything doesn't matter, understand?" ”

"When the time comes, the Hongdu City will be broken, and the traitors will be slaughtered."

"The great general is mighty, the great general is mighty, and the general is mighty......."

The soldiers shouted in unison.

Wu Jinfan nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

.........

In the city of Hongdu, the lights are brilliant.

Patrolling sergeants were walking back and forth through the streets.

Hongdu City, this bustling metropolis has been surrounded.

The gates were closed, the city was heavily guarded, and the walls and towers were full of crossbowmen, and arrows rained down on the walls.

In the west of Hongdu City, there are twelve stockades, and these twelve stockades are all ordered by Han Xiu to be built to resist the Black Armor Army.

The stockade was about the size of the city gate, four or five meters high, two or three zhang thick, and was covered with sharp steel thorns and sharp spear tips.

Around the stockade, there were many soldiers guarding to prevent a surprise attack by the imperial court.

At this moment, a team of scouts hurried up.

"Newspaper, newspaper ......."

The scout knelt on the ground and bowed his hand and said, "King Qiqi, my subordinates have investigated, there is a group of soldiers and horses in the north of the city tonight, and the number of horses is about thousands to 10,000 horses. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Han Xiu frowned, and between his eyebrows, there was some confusion, and he asked, "That must be the soldiers and horses of the Black Armor Army." ”

He turned to look at the staff beside him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there something unusual about this black armor army, or is there some kind of trickery?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they have not found out what is going on with them. \"

The scout spoke softly.

"Well, step aside."

Han Xiu waved his hand.

"No!"

The scout answered, then got up and left.

The staff took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of your subordinates, there must be fraud in the Black Armor Army this time, please think twice!" ”

Han Xiu was silent.

The staff continued: "The Black Armor Army is brave and good at fighting, not only is it invincible, but they are well-equipped and have abundant food and grass, so they don't need to risk crossing the river at all. ”

"Not to mention, we are now at the low level of the river, and Hongdu is in a flooded place, once the river is diverted, it will be a catastrophe for the king's foundation."

Listening to the admonition of the staff, Han Xiu's brows became tighter and tighter.

He remembered the conversation between himself and Han Yun when Cao Yan led his troops to attack the city.

————————————————

"This time, Hongdu is in danger, Han Rong, do you have any good strategy to break the enemy?"

"Uncle, have you heard of the plan to flood the Seventh Army?"

"Is there any solution to this poison?"

"It's just that it's summer and autumn now, and there are many farmlands near the city, and there is plenty of water, so if you want to flood the city with water, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Hongdu is an ancient city with a lot of farmland around it, and if the city is flooded, I am afraid that it will cause the people of Jiangnan to be displaced."

"Although it is said that these people are the subjects of the imperial court, if they know that it is because of the imperial court that they have been displaced by the disaster."

"Then even if the imperial court can collect these people, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts."

————————————

"Do you have a solution?"

"Uncle, since Hongdu is rich in water, can you use this advantage to lure the enemy deeper?"

"How?"

"Uncle can send a messenger to Xiling to deliver a letter, saying that the Southern Expeditionary Army wants to storm Hongdu, and let Xiling mobilize reinforcements to come to help."

"At the same time, send carrier pigeons to North County to deliver the news."

"Uncle, think about it, if the world knows that the soldiers of the imperial court are dragged in Hongdu and can't retreat, what will the ambitious people of Gon Gon do?"

"Oh? They must think that the elite troops of the imperial court are pinned, then these people will be ready to move and take the opportunity to seize the world! ”

"That's right! At that time, the princes of the world will compete with each other, chaos will be rampant, and the situation in the court will be even more critical, no matter who wins, it will be beneficial and harmless to us. ”

................

Han Xiu suddenly realized that it was not without purpose for the Black Armor Army to use the strategy of "flooding the city".

"Someone, ask General Wang Yue to come to see this king."

"The last will obey."

Soon, a sturdy man in his twenties and thirties hurriedly walked in.

He is the deputy commander of the Hongdu Guards, that is, the most powerful general under Han Xiu, Wang Yue.

"The minister is the king!"

Han Xiu waved his hand to signal Wang Yue to be flat, and he asked directly: "Wang Yue, what do you think is the flaw in the Black Armor Army's strategy of 'river diversion'?" ”

Wang Yue immediately laughed when he heard this: "The king is wise! The Black Armor Army is indeed using siege as bait, but in fact, it is doing the poisonous plan of 'flooding the Seventh Army'. ”

"However, even so, their plan is still perfect, unless there are other changes, the Black Armor Army's strategy cannot be cracked."

Han Xiu nodded and said, "Go on." ”

Wang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of fine light.

He spoke slowly:

"King, as long as we find out a shortcoming and make a targeted counterattack, then the plan of the Black Armor Army will be a complete failure."

"Oh? Can you tell us more about it? ”

Wang Yue nodded:

"According to the observation of his subordinates, most of the elites of the Black Armor Army and the Jianzhou Army were exhausted in the battle with the Western Xia, and the Jingshi is still rewarding the Jianzhou Army and others, but now the supplies of the Black Armor Army are extremely scarce, especially the food reserves, there is almost nothing left."

"The military spirit is only maintained by a great victory and the god of war of the Great Great Xu, the general of Zhenguo."

"So, as long as we can cut off their food and grass, then we don't have to worry about them not withdrawing their troops!"

Han Xiu touched his beard and fell silent.

His eyebrows furrowed, as if he had become interested in the suggestion.

After thinking for a while, Han Xiu raised his head, he looked at Wang Yue, and said, "General Lao is tired of the army of this king to lead the army, I think the elder brother of the general, Wang Changchang, will definitely be happy for you." ”

When Wang Yue heard this, his face suddenly turned a little red, and he bowed his hand and said, "The king can rest assured, the last general will definitely do his best to live up to the king's trust." The last general is willing to overcome all obstacles for the king and remove all obstacles! ”

Wang Yue knew that his brother Wang Changchang was a drag oil bottle, and it was because of him that he left his hometown.

It's just that his brother Wang took him in for a long time, otherwise how could he have his current situation and ability.

The hint from the king was obvious, but Wang Yue did not blame him, he knew that he was about to fight the peak of Daxu.
