The news that Han Gou had executed his confidant soon came to Xiahou An's ears.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou An nodded secretly. As Han Gou thought, he did have a backup plan in the city. If Han Gou really listened to his confidant words, he would be able to return home immediately and kill him.

Fortunately, Han Gou is very conscious of the times.

It is precisely because of this letter of vote that Xiahou felt much more at ease.

After leaving the county town, he led everyone to the east. After driving on the official road for several miles, he moved north again. The terrain in the north was relatively high, so it was quite difficult to walk.

After climbing the mountain, not long after walking, there was a turbulent flow of water, and a wide river that had crossed several feet across came across.

This river is called irrigation water.

There are many rivers under Beihai County, but there are very few big rivers like irrigation water.

Xiahou An ordered the cessation of his movement here.

Everyone took a break.

Xiahou An stood on the stone and issued an order loudly: "Everyone, from today on, we have only one thing to do, that is, to encircle irrigation water and accumulate water for use."

After hearing this clueless order, everyone was inexplicably surprised.

Even the Xiahou brothers, who had always believed in Xiahou An, could not help but waver: "Brother, are you serious?"

The letter of help to Yuan Tan has been sent out this morning. After receiving the letter, Yuan Tan will definitely send someone to lead his army back to the rescue as soon as possible. At such an important moment, you should actively prepare for the war.

If you are not involved in water in Guhe, you will not be too late to do it in the future. If you are working hard now, it will only delay opportunities and waste time.

This is the idea of ​​most people.

Xiahou An didn't think so, but he didn't explain. It was not the time yet.

The county city was in trouble, and it was a foregone conclusion that Yuan Tan sent people back to help, and his troops would never be small. With the enemy being too small, there was little chance of defeating the head-on battle.

If you want to win, you can only surprise it.

There are countless allusions in history that the few wins more, but judging from the current situation, many cases are not applicable. For example, the most commonly used fire attack is difficult to perform due to the current seasonal climate.

Fire attack cannot work, but water attack is feasible.

This is what Xiahou An thought.

Just when everyone was not sure about it, after Lu Cui observed the nearby terrain, his mind flashed and suddenly realized: "Sir Xiahou, you want to..."

Xiahou An nodded.

With Lu Cui's mind, it is common sense to see through his plan. After all, he is not as intelligent as Guo Banxian and Zhuge monster. At that time, he only needs to hide from Yuan General who is returning to help.

In contrast, Xiahou Jie, who had pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on, fell into self-doubt: "Brother, what are you fighting for? I can't understand anything!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do as you do it and keep it safe and you can get rid of the enemy."

Xiahou An set up a promise.

Everyone was even more puzzled, what did this have to do with repelling the enemy?

Xiahou An didn't say anything more.

Then, under the instigation of Xiahou An, everyone who had rested divided the areas and picked up the guys at hand and started to work.

The conversation was divided into two parts. After experiencing Cao Ang's repeated delays and repeated urging by the military supervisor Ju Su, Yuan Tan was patient and ordered a strong attack.

The horn is blowing, the war drums are beating.

Under the order, tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers entered the battlefield. They shouted and charged in great excitement and rushed to the city tower not far ahead.

Since entering Qingzhou, the so-called Qingzhou moth thieves and local armed forces have been defeated under their spears. Every time they fight, they will be defeated and won the battle.

This was the case before.

I believe this time will be no exception.

All Yuan army soldiers think so.

So even though arrows shot from the city tower and penetrated the bodies of one soldiers after another, no one among them chose to retreat and still bravely moved forward with shields.

Because they know that victory will belong to them.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

At the city tower.

Xu Rong, wearing armor, was standing tall, putting his hands on the wall, leaning forward slightly, looking down at the powerful Yuan soldiers below, staring at the eyes calmly and calmly giving every military order.

Qin Zhen, who was following him, looked up. This unmoving figure like Mount Tai gave him an inexplicable sense of peace and his eyes were full of worship.

The Yuan army was aggressive and the defending army was not cowards. Under Xu Rong's orderly command, he used all means to fight back and fight to the death without retreating.

The battle started at the beginning of the sun. After noon, Yuan's army attacked the city and entered a white heat. It continued until sunset and dusk. Yuan Tan ordered the gold medal to stop the army.

Afterwards, Yuan Tan threw the 50,000 soldiers he brought into the battlefield and attacked in turn.

However, the city defender's stubborn resistance was far beyond expectations.

After several days of continuous development, I failed to break through this small county town.

That night, the central army tent at the Yuan army stationed.

Yuan Tan was upset and restless.

He once boasted that Haikou would conquer Duchang within half a day, but so many days passed, Duchang City, which was within reach, was unable to take it down. Instead, the number of casualties under his subordinates increased day by day.

The 50,000 troops could not even capture a small county town. As the main general, it is difficult to blame. When it comes to my father's ears, what would my father think of me?

Yuan Tan was full of concern about this.

Time passes, and the night is deep.

Lying on the bed, unable to sleep, Yuan Tan opened his eyes, and simply got up, put on his armor, and asked his personal soldiers to order various troops to prepare for a night attack.

After hearing this order, Ju Su hurriedly came to dissuade him, saying that the soldiers were tired during the day and had little chance of defeating at night. If they had to rest, they would recover their strength and attack the city. The defenders in the city were at the end of their strength and were not in a hurry.

You told me this way two days ago... Yuan Tan was unhappy. Now he just wants to conquer Duchang to save face.

But he could not refuse Ju Su's dissuasion directly. After all, it was the military supervisor arranged by his father, and the three armies were also subject to their control. So he changed his tone and said, "We will rest, and the military will rest; when we recover our physical strength, the military will also recover our physical strength. If we continue to consume this, we will only sacrifice more soldiers. As the saying goes, time will not wait for me, and you will not even think that I will attack the city at night, and the military will not think of it!"

Yuan Tan thought he had discovered a blind spot.

Ju Su shook his head, "Xu Rong is a general who has fought for hundreds of times, even Cao Cao and Sun Jian have suffered great losses in his hands. The eldest son must not take it lightly."

You have said this eight hundred times!

Yuan Tan was already irritable, and now he was even more angry. He was annoyed by such words that made others more ambitious.

He even felt that if Ju Su hadn't been looking back, he might have already broken Duchang.

So despite Ju Su's repeated dissuasion, he flipped on his back and said, "If the military supervisor is timid, just stay in the military camp, and I will go to the siege with General Wen!"
Chapter completed!
