Ci Xiu understood completely at this time and suddenly realized: "Sir, you are already ready to defect to Zhu Lingyue?"

"Travel?" Luo Dingxi clenched his fist and the blue veined thug, but slowly let go, sighing: "Ci Xiu, you are right. I am planning to defect to Zhu Lingyue. Not only do I want to defect to him, but I also want to give him a big gift."

"This gift is Shuoquan City?"

"No," Luo Dingxi smiled and said, "Even if Zhu Lingyue breaks through Hezhou City and Chu Huan retreats to Shuoquan, Zhu Lingyue will have to pay a considerable price if he wants to take Shuoquan!"

"Shuoquan City is known as the most powerful city in the northwest of our country and the prefecture of Xiguan Road, which is naturally extraordinary." Cixiu said: "If Chu Huan really defends Shuoquan City, Zhu Lingyue and Gan Hou want to take it down, the casualties will inevitably be very heavy."

Luo Dingxi looked cold on his face and said, "So if we take down Shuoquan City and then present Shuoquan City to Zhu Lingyue, what do you think Zhu Lingyue will happen?"

"If that is the case, in Zhu Lingyue's opinion, the lord has made great contributions." Ci Xiu's eyes lit up: "Zhu Lingyue is in Tianshan, and it is said that he has made such a great contribution. When he is happy, he will definitely look at the lord with admiration and value it very much."

"I don't care how much he values ​​him." Luo Dingxi sighed, "I just want to keep the green mountains. As long as I still stay in Beishan and wait patiently, maybe one day I can wait for the opportunity... Even if I don't have the opportunity, be cautious and cautious under Zhu Lingyue's command, there will be no worries about glory and wealth."

Ci Xiu sighed: "Your Madam can bend and prosper, and you have great admiration for your humble position. Even if you really can't wait for the opportunity, it will be better than ending like Chu Huan." Although the battle in Xiguan has not yet been decided, in Ci Xiu's opinion, Chu Huan's end must be very miserable.

Luo Dingxi was thinking and was silent for a while. The sound of chanting scriptures coming from the mourning hall seemed to be intermittently. His eyebrows suddenly tightened slightly and he asked in a low voice: "Ci Xiu, over Shuoquan..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Beizhi is fast and fast, and it has been arranged." Ci Xiu whispered: "Beizhi has made an agreement with the other side, and there will be no mistakes!"

Luo Dingxi said solemnly: "Cixiu, this matter is quite a matter of slightest, and there must be no mistakes."

"Sir, don't worry, I dare to guarantee it with my head, and there will be no mistakes." Although there were only two people in the room, Ci Xiu still approached Luo Dingxi's ear and whispered a few words. Luo Dingxi's brows stretched out and said with a smile: "So that's it, that's the case. That's it. I'll be relieved. As long as there can really help us, there will be a lot of rewards!"

"Sir, I don't know when we will set out?" Ci Xiu asked softly.

Luo Dingxi said leisurely: "With that Eagle Nest Stream, you can arrive in just one day after departure from Eagle Nest Stream..." After pondering slightly, he lowered his voice: "Ci Xiu, this operation will only use our own imperial guards. These are our confidants, and they have the strongest combat power. There are no need to be too many. Since there are only two thousand people in the city, it is enough to have three or four thousand people!"

"I understand!"

When Luo Dingxi, Beishan plotted to launch a surprise attack from Yingchaojian, the war in Hezhou was extremely tragic.

The first time the attacking party and the defending party paid a considerable price. The Tianshan Army alone lost thousands of troops in one attack, and the Xiguan Army defending the city also lost hundreds of soldiers.

After a temporary rest, Zhu Lingyue knew that it was not appropriate to give the Xiguan army too much breathing time, so he quickly launched a second or even a third attack. For four or five consecutive days, the city was covered with corpses, and the Hezhou city wall was also broken and crumbling, as if it was about to collapse at any time. The officers and soldiers guarding the city also suffered great damage.

The west gate of Hezhou City was already in ruins. When the Tianshan Army launched the last attack, it finally used the siege car, and the siege car also advanced under the city gate.

Zhu Lingyue did not capture Hezhou City for several consecutive days. Even though he was well-educated, he was still quite angry. He hoped that his soldiers could turn from hunting dogs to wolves in blood and fire, but the casualties were too severe and bleeding too much, which made him unable to accept it.

This is the first step to dominate the world. If he consumes too much in this first battle and damages morale, it will be hard for him to imagine how he will advance into the world.

He concentrated all the siege weapons and launched the most fierce attack on Hezhou City.

After a few days of fighting, the defenders were exhausted, but under Han Ying's leadership, they still stood firm with a strong will.

No one knows how long he can still defend Hezhou City.

The Tianshan Army, which was covered in the sky, rushed over again, and the defenders also fought to the death with the aura of waiting for death. After several days of fighting, the city was no longer sufficient, and there were not many storages of bows and arrows or stones.

The Tianshan Army rushed to the city gate and used siege cars to rush to the city gate desperately. Inside the city gate, the defenders piled up a thick pile of stones. Although the catapult cart was extremely destructive to the city gate and also made the city gate ragged, the stone pile behind still prevented the Tianshan Army from entering the city gate smoothly. Some brave Tianshan Army penetrated through the holes in the city gate and then climbed up the stone pile. On the stone pile, there were already densely waiting for a group of Xiguan Army holding spears. When the Tianshan Army wanted to cross the stone pile and rush into the city, the spears on it had already been continuously pierced, taking away one life after another.

From dusk to early morning, Hezhou City was fighting from the city wall to the city top, and there were fighting sounds everywhere, and swords and guns were everywhere. Hezhou City was about to be captured, but it was shaking and holding on. Apart from the many soldiers on both sides, Hezhou City was still in the hands of the people of Xiguan. No soldier in the Tianshan Army could enter the city.

As the rising sun rose, Zhu Lingyue could only sing the gold and withdraw his troops again.

The sunlight shone inside and outside Hezhou City, and the corpses were extremely terrifying in the pool of blood. Some people were not dead yet and struggled among the dead.

Zhu Lingyue sat in the tent with a broken face and looked a little ugly. The generals who were sieging the city were standing in front of him at this time. Zhu Lingyue glanced at everyone and finally said in a deep voice: "You were all arrogant before, saying that you could take down Hezhou City day and night. I asked you, how many days have you been?"

All the generals knew that Zhu Lingyue must be in a bad mood now, and no one dared to speak first. They all lowered their heads. However, Hou Jingang, the general who commanded the Black Wind Cavalry, did not participate in the siege. He led the cavalry to wait for the cavalry to break through the city gate and led the cavalry to sweep into the city. However, after waiting for a few days, the Tianshan Army suffered heavy casualties and no news of the city gate being broken. The most elite Black Wind Cavalry in Tianshan could only watch on the wall.

Hou Jingang was not under pressure to fight against the disadvantage. Seeing that everyone was not talking, the atmosphere was stiff and bowed: "Du Zhu, you have been fighting for seven days!"

Some of the generals couldn't help but glance at Hou Jingang, cursing in their hearts, thinking that I was charging forward on the front line, and you were going to take credit for your contributions. There were so many people killed and injured, and there were no soldiers under your command. At this time, you came out and talked too much, and it was obvious that you would be unable to get along with everyone.

"Seven days?" Zhu Lingyue snorted coldly and asked, "I ask you how many more people will die, how many more days will you take to take Hezhou City?"

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhu Lingyue yelled coldly: "Are you dead?"

A general finally stepped forward and bowed, "Duke Zhu, Mo Zheng, is indeed guilty of fighting, and he asked Duke Zhu to sue him. However, the defenders in the city were indeed difficult to deal with. Not only were they ready for a long time, but they were like they had a leopard courage. They didn't know what evil they had been, and they insisted on fighting with us to the end. Mo Zheng, who thought that our 100,000 troops would come, would be the ones who would be weak in their legs, but... but it seems that we were wrong. They were ready to fight with us to the end from the beginning."

"Yes, Zhu Du, these people are crazy." Another general said angrily: "When the city is broken, we will kill all these guys, and we will not leave any chickens and dogs!"

"What's the use of saying this now?" Zhu Lingyue frowned, "I ask you, how long will it take to break the city?"

"Du Zhu, although we did not capture Hezhou City, the defenders in Hezhou City are now at the end of their strength. Their pressure is much heavier than ours." Seeing that everyone did not dare to speak casually, Hou Jingang said again: "The last general thinks that Hezhou City is already crumbling and can't last long. If you attack twice, you will definitely be able to break the city!"

Although Hou Jingang's words were like standing and talking without a pain in his back, they were at least considered to have relieved the siege of others. Someone said, "Du Zhu, General Hou said, "Let's rest for a while, and then we will attack Hezhou City in one go, and we will definitely be able to take it down!"

"If you continue to fight, you will lose a lot of people before you reach Shuoquan." A heavy voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and then the soldiers outside the tent heard loudly replying: "General Gan is here!"

The generals were stunned, and the tent door was lifted. Gan Hou was covered in armor, his arms were tied with bandages and hung on his chest. He walked in with big strides, with blood even stained on his face.

All the generals saluted to Mr. Gan, and Zhu Lingyue had already gotten up. His face, which had been a little blue, had already calmed down. He came forward and said in surprise: "General Gan, are you?"

"Du Zhu, this Hezhou City seems to be harder to fight than we think." Gan Hou shook his head and said, "A few days after the fight, hundreds of people have died there, and countless injured people are there. Du Zhu, how many people are there in this city?"

Zhu Lingyue hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair and waved his hand to let the generals retreat. When everyone retreated, Gan Hou sat down. Zhu Lingyue said with concern: "In-law, your hand..."

"It's okay!" Gan Hou raised his other hand and waved it, "I haven't hit this Hezhou City for several days. I feel annoyed. Today I personally led people to attack the city. I got two arrows on my arm. I have already dealt with it, and it's not a big deal."

"In-laws are really brave. No wonder the people of Xiliang were frightened when they saw them." Zhu Lingyue sat down beside Gan Hou and sighed softly: "It seems that we have underestimated Chu Huan, and we have underestimated Hezhou City as well."

"The defenders in the city seem to have given up and want to fight us to the end." Gan Hou frowned: "This Hezhou City can always be taken down, but if we find such a way of fighting, our damage will be very serious."

"Does the general have a good idea?" Zhu Lingyue asked.

Gan Hou's eyes were bright, "There is a military book that says, ten will surround it, five will attack it, twice as many as possible, fight it, fewer will be able to defend it, and better avoid it. Previous news, there are less than 20,000 people in this city, and we have 100,000 troops in our hands, and five will attack it. However, now that we have to fight, we will continue to fight, and there will inevitably be too many casualties... In my opinion, it is better to surround them to death!"

"siege?"

"The food and grass in Xiguan have always been insufficient. I am afraid that the food and grass stored in Hezhou City will not hide. There are nearly 20,000 soldiers and many people. The food in the city will not last long." Gan Hou sneered: "If Zhu Du's hand does not have much food and grass, he can only fight quickly. Even if there are more casualties, he can only attack. However, Zhu Du's hand has sufficient food and grass, so we might as well siege the city. After fighting in the past few days, the morale of the defenders has not decreased. They are now holding on with us. If we stop siege, besiege them, and do not face them head-on, then it will not take long for their strong breath to disappear..."

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly.

"As long as there is a shortage of food in the city, the soldiers will not be in chaos, and the people will be in chaos." Gan Hou looked cold and stern: "As long as there is a chaos in the city, the morale of the defenders will be gone. Even if they do not surrender, it will be much easier for us to attack again."

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "My family is worthy of being a famous general in the northwest. It is an isolated city in Hezhou City. We will surround it and consume their morale. It is more useful than a strong attack."

Gan Hou smiled and said, "The most important thing is that they themselves know that they are an isolated city. The only thing they are expected is that Chu Huan brings troops from Shuoquan to help. This is just right, if Chu Huan doesn't come, it will be fine. If Zhu Du's Black Wind Cavalry can be used for great use. Before Chu Huan approaches Hezhou City, he can catch them all. Then we don't need to fight hard again Shuoquan."

Zhu Lingyue smiled and said, "What he said is so right, what he said is so right." After a pause, he said softly: "According to the general's words, we will not attack the city for the time being, so we will surround it, but outside the East City, there is no need to arrange heavy troops..."

Gan Hou is also a veteran on the battlefield, so he naturally understood Zhu Lingyue's meaning and smiled: "Du Zhu wants to surround them and let them fall into despair, and find that he can break out of the east city and will he break out from the east city?"

“That’s exactly that.”

"This is a good idea." Gan Hou nodded slightly: "As long as they break through, the Black Wind Cavalry under Zhu Du's command will immediately go out and catch up with them, they will inevitably collapse completely. Not only will they take down Hezhou City, but they will also annihilate the main force of the Xiguan Army. The entire Xiguan will be at your fingertips."

"When the city is siege, the in-laws should be well recovered." Zhu Lingyue said kindly: "I have a doctor here, so let the doctor come over to see the injuries for the in-laws!"

"It has been dealt with, don't worry." Gan Hou got up, "Du Zhu, let me hand it over to the Northwest Army in the north of the city. I promise not to let a mosquito in the city fly out of the city!"
