A tree was cut off on the large hillside at the entrance of the valley. Liu Ying stood here and her vision was widened. In the vast white mist, many black figures in the enemy formation were moving eastward.

Liu Ying watched for a while, looked back and sighed with a little disappointed look: "Marquis Jiangyin is indeed very calm. If he comes into the valley, he will have good fruits for him to eat!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several commanders of the guards immediately looked at Liu Ying with strange eyes. But those generals did not speak much, just remained silent.

The generals in the army knew the inside story. Liu Ying did not have many ambushers in the mountains and forests on both sides. This morning, he set up a formation to make a strong momentum, and most of the soldiers were on the formation! But Liu Ying even deceived his own people, and maybe even he himself believed the lies.

Liu Ying felt the eyes of the generals, and looked back, everyone bent down one after another, and someone said, "Governor Liu is wise."

But Liu Ying was actually afraid just now! He was already scared. When he thought that Wu Gao had not fallen into a trap and the army came to kill him, the fraud would really turn into a big defeat...

This morning when he knew that the enemy was setting up a large formation and wanted to attack, Liu Ying finally defeated his fear and bit the bullet and pulled up the only tens of thousands of people to support the scene! Because he understood one truth since he was a child: the more he showed weakness, the more others would bully you!

Liu Ying has done such things countless times, and sometimes fails. When she meets a really cruel person, she has to find an opportunity to surrender; but it still works most of the time.

Today is just a re-use of the same trick. Liu Ying even sent his only cavalry to detour the enemy's rear wing and to threaten the other side... A little unexpected, the consequences were a bit serious. Now he could still hear the "dongdongdongdongdongdongdong" in his chest like a drumbeat.

He dared to make such a decision immediately before, because he had thought about it before. The key to delaying Wu Gao's army this time is that he cannot let Wu Gao find out his own details, otherwise it will be difficult to block the enemy.

Liu Ying stood on the hillside for a long time, and seemed to have not come back to his soul. He was in a complicated mood, but he was completely relieved. He felt a long sigh of relief in his heart, but he was very disgusted with such things; because he felt the malicious temptation deeply, and the danger seemed to have just brushed his cheeks.

...In the late first lunar month, the smoke was heavy under the city of Guizhou and the sound of people was buzzing.

After spending a lot of noise for several consecutive days, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little dizzy early in the morning. He sat in the fortress as the headquarters of the Central Army, rubbed his forehead with his hands and exhaled a long breath.

At this time Miaojin came in. She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and then silently fed water to the table and burned it.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke, "There are two kinds of people who are very strong. One is to seek survival, and the other is to live better. However, the war is the opposite, and it has never stopped for thousands of years."

Miao Jin turned around and said, "Maybe he wanted to let others die because he wanted to live. Isn't this the case with the King of Han?"

"It makes sense." Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully.

At this moment, most of the deputy general Zhao Ping walked in. Because of Zhao Ping's identity and the place was the central army lobby, he walked straight to Zhu Gaoxu, bowed his head and whispered for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. Zhao Ping let out a sigh, bowed and said, "Fortunately, Wu Gao was deceived. If the enemy was determined to decide with Liu Ying, Liu Ying's troops would have to fight for nothing in one day! Governor Liu has always been a little reckless."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "Liu Ying has his own considerations, and I only look at the results." He then asked, "Is there any news in Yunnan in the past few days?"

Zhao Ping shook his head and suddenly said, "Qingyantun was captured by our troops last evening. The brothers found this thing..." After he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Zhu Gaoxu took it in front of him and looked at it. It was covered with the seal of Guizhou Dusi. The signature was Gu Cheng! The content said that if Guizhou City was besieged, the generals from Qingyantun immediately sent someone to report to the reinforcements commander after exploring the Qing military situation.

Zhao Ping said in a deep voice: "How about sending a spy to see Wu Gao with this military order and report him fake news!"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately used his imagination and thought of various situations. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Liu Ying is dealing with Wu Gao, sending the military order to Liu Ying's camp and let him deal with it as appropriate. It is best for me not to interfere too much, so as not to add to the sarcasm and cheat him."

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order."

Zhu Gaoxu was originally going to go to the battlefield ahead to inspect immediately, but when he saw Miaojin boiling water, he was about to make tea for him, he sat in the room for a while and waited for drinking the strong tea made by Miaojin before leaving.

...The vast battlefield seems a bit messy, but it is very layered. If you look closely, you can see the structure of the siege army.

With the city of Guizhou as the center, seven hundred steps away from the city are the fortifications of the Han Wang Army. The long earth walls and fences are like a long fence. Bamboo and wood arrow towers stand among them, and countless camp gates are like classical archways.

Nearly two hundred steps, thick smoke was rolling everywhere. The burning firewood branches were filled with wet leaves and thatch, and the burning ash of charred plants flew all over the sky along the rising smoke.

Countless refrigerated cannons hidden deep in the smoke made a huge sound, "Cruff!" "Clang!" Stones weighing more than a hundred pounds flew into the air from the smoke.

After those revive cannons are installed, it is difficult to move the place. However, the enemy's heavy artillery range is farther than the revive cannons, so smoke is a cover to avoid being destroyed by artillery.

Both sides were unable to aim accurately when the artillery shells landed; the method was to observe the place where the shells landed and then adjust the direction for the second time. With smoke blocking the Huihuan position of the Han Wang Army, the enemy could not know whether the heavy artillery shells had hit.

At this time, a "bang" exploded on the city wall two or three hundred steps away, and a ball of white smoke remained in the distance. Zhu Gaoxu took a look and thought to himself: The lead wire of the pig iron thunder fired by the Huihui cannon is about to be lengthened, and when will the thunder explode, it is also tried...

At a distance of fifty or sixty steps, there were many sacks of earth filled with soil on the two trenches that were ten steps away from each other. There were gaps between the adjacent sacks, just like the battlements of the city wall. Countless bows and crossbowmen stood in the trenches that were chest-high, shooting arrows at the city wall from time to time. Cannons such as bowl guns were also fired one after another, and gun smoke filled the ditches.

Previously, a general believed that the enemy was condescending on the city wall and that the brothers were useless to hide in the ditch. But Zhu Gaoxu thought it was useful.

At that time, he drew a long and flat triangle on the ground to prove his own ideas.

The long bottom line of a triangle is the distance from the city wall to the trench, more than fifty steps; the city wall is more than two meters high, and it may be five steps high. The ratio of ten to one is like this.

The oblique edge is the direct ballistic of the bow and crossbow, so it is impossible to hit the sergeant in the ditch; unless it is thrown into the air and the arrow falls off the head, it can only be luck...

Near the trench, there were many soldiers pushing wheel shields, transporting soil next to the moat.

The convoy used extremely sparse formation to avoid the bombardment of artillery, and occasionally someone was unlucky and was hit by the shells; although there were wooden shields on the earth-carriage, the arrows thrown by the defenders would cause casualties from time to time.

"Boom boom boom boom..." The sound of large and small cannons up and down the city wall was like thunder. When the Huihuan here was fired, the oil-swept wood still rubbed out the sound of teeth sour. The moment the shell was cast, the sound was even more deafening.

On the more than ten miles long front surrounding the city, on the endless battlefield, both sides were attacking with various weapons and shooting attacks everywhere, and bleeding everywhere!

However, Zhu Gaoxu still issued a military order to build revive artillery, catapult cart and other military orders, and the combat density will increase! The intensity of the siege increases, and casualties on both sides will increase every day, but time can be saved.

Perhaps there will be no difference in the total number of casualties. People will die in war. He believes that only human lives can be exchanged for the loss, which is nothing more than a proportional issue.

He brought the shield cart in front of the earth and came back to wear many injured soldiers, many of which were blurred and distorted. Between the rumbling cannons, Zhu Gaoxu heard screams and moans in his ears. He spent the whole day in such a huge noise, riding horses around the city to watch, ensuring that all the troops were fighting according to the established strategy.

In the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu, regardless of the dissuasion of his generals and guards, rode his horse through the burning smoke of plants and trees, and approached the city wall within two hundred steps to watch the battlefield.

"Prince, be careful!" Zhao Ping shouted.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked up and saw many enemy soldiers holding bows and arrows appearing on the city wall. He had experienced many battles, so of course he would not be scared by such a battle. It was impossible for bows and arrows to shoot two hundred steps away, not to mention that the bows and arrows on the wall were facing the Han Wang army soldiers who filled the river under the corner of the wall!

"Shoot the arrow!" A general in front shouted.

Many soldiers in the two trenches stood behind the earth bags and shot at the city wall. After the crackling sound of strings, the screams on the wall were vaguely heard, and someone fell down from the city wall.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu heard the loud "clang clang" behind him. He raised his head and saw many stones and shells flying from the air. In an instant, the city wall was smashed by stones and dust soared; two huge explosions came, and the pig iron thunder in it smashed on the wall.

The brothers of the Han Wangjun below were enduring casualties, and it seemed that the defenders were not having a good time. This place was like a purgatory, causing death every moment.

...After the sun set, the sounds between heaven and earth gradually stopped. Zhu Gaoxu finished his busy work and finally returned to the bedroom. He did not fight in person, but he was exhausted at this time.
Chapter completed!
