Governor please stay

Numerous bloody and painful lessons in history tell us that it is an extremely dangerous thing to open champagne at halftime, or cheer for victory in the middle of a chess game.

I don't know how many heroes have overturned in this gutter.

While Gao Huan was "boosting morale" in the big camp, Wei Xiaokuan, who was located in the vice city in the east of Yubi City, was preparing to make a final desperate fight, and deep down in his heart he also had the awareness that if he fails, he will be benevolent.

The water well was opened up at a critical moment, which undoubtedly injected infinite courage into the defenders of Yubi City.

After all, this is the most direct proof that I am immortal.

Wei Xiaokuan organized the remaining soldiers into two teams.As the main team, they put down the rope ladder, and when there were not many enemy troops in the gap in the south of Yubi City, they quietly assembled and ambush, listening to orders to make a surprise attack.

And another small group of death squads composed of the most elite backbones went to the blocked suspension bridge above the vice city. There was a mechanism there, as long as the suspension bridge was destroyed, the boulder above could be lowered.

These big stones will completely block the south gate of Yubi City!
The retreat to the east vice city was too hasty. The defenders had no time to destroy the suspension bridge connecting the east and west vice cities, but blocked the upward passage to prevent the enemy troops below from breaking into the interior of the vice city above.

At the beginning of the design, this rock-falling mechanism was intended to be used in extreme situations to completely block the south gate of Yubi City.Wei Xiaokuan also did not expect that the so-called extreme situation would come so soon.

When the second team burned down the wooden suspension bridge structure, it would definitely attract the attention of Gao Huan's army who broke into the city.As soon as Gao Huan's men were attracted, the first team immediately began to regain lost ground!
At the same time, Wei Xiaokuan personally commanded at the top of the city, lighting the beacon fire at the top of the city at a critical moment!Cai You, who was trapped in the west city, should not be indifferent when he saw the beacon fire warning and noticed the scuffle below the vice city.

Now Wei Xiaokuan can only hope that Cai You will not lose the chain at a critical moment.Sending troops to the east and west side cities at the same time can basically drive or kill 100% of the enemy troops in the lower south.

If only the deputy city in the east sent troops, the outcome would be unpredictable, and the outcome is still a matter of fifty or five!

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, although I couldn't figure out why Gao Huan didn't take advantage of the night to pursue the victory and attack the city regardless of casualties.But Wei Xiaokuan knew that tonight might be his last chance.

At dawn tomorrow, Gao Huan's army will divide his troops, besiege the east and west vice cities, and defeat them one by one!At that time, even Han Xin came to the scene in vain and was powerless.

The moon does not come out tonight, and I can hardly see my fingers.Wei Xiaokuan stood at the top of the city and watched anxiously, waiting anxiously for the second team to ignite the suspension bridge connecting the two cities.

This task seems simple, but in fact it tests not only the tactical actions tonight, but also whether the plan for designing the city is complete.It would be bad if the drawbridge burned and the boulders didn't fall, or didn't fall on the city gates.

"General Wei, the middle section of the suspension bridge is on fire, and Gao Huan's soldiers and horses have not responded!"

The soldiers beside him pointed to the small flames that had just risen in the distance and said.

Wei Xiaokuan looked in the direction, and sure enough, the wooden fence where the fallen rocks were placed had already started to burn.

"Send the order down, go down to the city now, and break into the gap."

Wei Xiaokuan calmly ordered.

Gao Huan's army staying over there will surely be shocked and be in considerable chaos when they see the wooden suspension bridge above their heads on fire.At this time, it was a great opportunity for Wei Xiaokuan and the others to counterattack!

If they waited for the falling rocks to block the city gate before making a move, the soldiers trapped in the city would fight desperately.

Going too far is not enough, encircling three and missing one is the way of war.

Wei Xiaokuan made a decisive decision and ordered the first team of soldiers to go down to the city immediately, gather troops in the dark place under the ledge, and after lighting the beacon fire at the top of the city, they immediately mopped up the soldiers and horses of Gao Huan's army in the city.

The small city at the gap was already very small, Gao Huan only left [-] soldiers and horses behind, and the remaining defenders in Yubi City were at least several times the number of the opponent!
This may also be one of the sources of Gao Huan's self-confidence, because the occupied city is too small to use with soldiers and horses, so why do so many people stay in the village?It's just one night, and it's impossible for the defenders to come back.

"Look! It's burning!"

"Go and report to General Zhang!"

"Don't panic, the Yubi defenders didn't fight back!"

Gao Huan's soldiers and horses below made a commotion, but they didn't arouse their vigilance.Everyone didn't understand what the defenders meant by burning the suspension bridge.

Looking down from the heights, seeing Gao Huan's soldiers holding torches gathering around, Wei Xiaokuan lit the beacon fire at the top of the city with a torch.

……

Cai You, who was trapped in the west city, actually blamed himself very much. The reason why the south city below was attacked by Gao Huan's army was because he underestimated the power of the charging car and overestimated his own defense methods.

When the city was about to be broken, Cai You quickly ordered to block the passages from the south city to the two high-level secondary cities, and hurriedly led his troops to retreat to the west city where Wei Xiaokuan was not there, and had no choice but to cut off contact with the other side.

But in fact, he has been waiting for Wei Xiaokuan's order to send people to closely observe the movement of the vice city in the east not far away.

In the middle of the night, Cai You discovered that Wei Xiaokuan sent people to burn the suspension bridge. Because he was familiar with the structure of Yubi City, Cai You had already understood Wei Xiaokuan's countermeasure, which was to burn the suspension bridge first to block the city gate to prevent Gao Huan's reinforcements from entering.

Then send troops to drive and kill the soldiers and horses of Gao Huan's army trapped in the city, and take back the southern city below.

In this way, simple means can be used to re-build the passage connecting the two auxiliary cities in the east and west, and then improve the defense of the city step by step.

In other words, success or failure only depends on tonight.

Soon after, exactly as Cai You thought, the beacon tower of the city tower in the east was lit, and the extremely dazzling fire was so eye-catching in the dark night.

Cai You, who had been preparing for a long time, ordered the rope ladder to be lowered, so that the assault team that had already been assembled would descend from the rope ladder to the south city below the high platform, and cooperate with Wei Xiaokuan's troops to capture the city.

The defenders of Yubi City on the east and west sides cooperated tacitly and launched the general attack almost at the same time.Zhang Baoluo, who was trapped in the city, felt something was wrong in an instant. While organizing manpower defense, he sent troops to the camp outside the city to ask Gao Huan for help!

However, his reaction speed was still a beat slow after all.In ancient wars, the communication command and dispatch required a considerable amount of advance.If it is deployed before the battle, the opportunity has already been lost and there is no way to recover.

When Gao Huan hurriedly led his troops to the gap in Yubi City, the battle was over.Zhang Baoluo, who was covered in blood, did not know whether he was alive or dead, and was rescued from the city by his own soldiers.

Now there are fires everywhere in the city, and the gates of the city are also blocked.The defenders of Yubi City had seized the southern city wall and waited in full force. Gao Huan's blood pressure rose and he almost passed out.

"Xiaoxian, what do you think?"

Gao Huan, who was riding on a horse, asked Duan Shaodao who was beside him. He was one of the few generals who did not drink tonight.

Although Duan Shao didn't drink, he didn't expect the defenders of Yubi City to be so courageous, and they dared to attack under the extremely unfavorable situation.

"King Gao, now that the opening to the south of Yubi City has been lost, the city gate is blocked, and the means of attacking the city are limited, so there is no way to do it. It is better to gather troops and horses for the time being, and it will not be too late to attack the city after the preparation is complete."

Duan Shao suggested in a low voice.

In fact, he felt that Gao Huan was too fragile psychologically.It is indeed a pity to win this battle and lose it again, but the proportion of soldiers and horses lost is not large.

The main force of Gao Huan's army was not damaged, and it was still quite powerful.Withdraw all the army to the camp, and re-arrange the siege after dawn. There is no need to hold on to this defeat and insist on getting back.

But he is not the chief general after all, it is good to understand many things in his heart, and he cannot say them.

"The enemy's foothold is not stable now, can't we take it back?"

Gao Huan turned his head to look at Duan Shao, and asked with a worried expression.

"King Gao, there is a celebration banquet tonight. Most of the soldiers are resting after eating and drinking enough. If they attack Yubi now, they may not be able to succeed. On the contrary, they may lose troops..."

Duan Shao was like a young daughter-in-law who just entered her mother-in-law's house, watching Gao Huan's face and talking, not daring to show any emotion.

Gao Huan looked at the gradually extinguishing fire in Yubi City, and seemed to have something to say, but remained silent all the time.

After waiting for a long time, Gao Huan sighed with emotion, but still didn't say anything.

At this moment, a soldier hurried over and said to Gao Huan: "General Zhang Baoluo woke up and said that the defenders were trapped and the beasts were still fighting. The city is not too late."

As Zhang Baoluo, who had fought fiercely with the defenders of Yubi City for several hours, he had the most say in this battle.The defenders of Yubi have been cornered, so why not fight to the death?If you don't use all your strength, the whole army will be wiped out.

On the contrary, Gao Huan's army had just attacked Yubi not long ago, and the whole army was not in a hurry.How can one win against a mortal enemy with a lazy heart?

I have to say that Zhang Baoluo's suggestion is very reasonable.In fact, Duan Shao thought so too, but it was inconvenient for him to say similar things.

People who have been injured in bloody battles will always pay more attention to their suggestions, which is also human nature.

"Pass down the order, the army will return to Gaowang City first, and you continue to guard the camp outside Yubi City. Not a single mouse can be released from the city!"

Gao Huan said to Duan Shao with a cold face.

"Order!"

Duan Shao bowed his hands and bowed, and immediately went to deliver the order, regardless of Gao Huan's bad attitude.

……

Two days later, Duan Shao was called by Gao Huan to Gaowang City for a meeting, and the topic was how to conquer Yubi.Of course, Gao Huan didn't want to hear about the conventional methods. What Gao Huan wanted to know was only "unique tricks".

In the newly built residence in Gaowang City, Gao Huan sat on the main seat without a smile on his face, and the generals in the lobby looked like their dead parents, and their morale was extremely low.

If it is said that Yubi City cannot be attacked, the people will not be able to say anything.But the problem now is that more than half of the success has been achieved, and he was finally killed by someone. No one can swallow this breath!
As soon as Duan Shao came, Gao Huan looked at him and said with a smile: "Duan Xiaoxian has the most ideas on weekdays, so please tell me first, what method should be used to attack Yubi?"

Duan Shao, who was struck by lightning at the opening ceremony, didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He came to the meeting in a hurry from the camp under Yubi City. Are these people waiting for him?

However, he has the lowest qualifications, the youngest, and is a junior. His father Duan Rong is not here to support him, and he is also responsible for commanding the vanguard army that trapped Yubi City.

It seems that he should be the first to say both emotionally and rationally.

Duan Shao didn't have time to find a seat, so he cupped his hands in the lobby and said to Gao Huan: "In my opinion, the low city in the south is a trap. Even if we attack again, it will be easy to be flanked by the two high city in the east and west. .

So the center of gravity of the siege is not here. "

Hearing this, the eyes of all the generals present lit up.

Those who can sit here, and there are no generals who can't fight, are all considered "industry insiders".Although what Duan Shao said was not a suggestion, it was the most intuitive and accurate judgment on the battlefield.

"well said!"

Gao Huan smiled and nodded encouragingly, "Continue talking, don't worry about anything."

"The shape of the jade wall wins, and quick victory is difficult to overcome. It is better to build a mound in the tongue-shaped section in the northeast, and then use sharpshooters to suppress the defenders on the northeastern wall.

The defenders of Yubi City could not replenish, and one person died and one person was missing.Long-term suppression and deterrence of the enemy's army, one after another, the opportunity to attack the city will come. "

Duan Shao has been observing the terrain of Yubi City these days, and the suggestions he put forward are very pertinent.Although it is a time-consuming and stupid method, it is a good method that is difficult to deal with.

"There is a lot of wood in Yubi City. If Wei Xiaokuan erects a wooden building at the corresponding place in the north of the city, and shoots at the gods, how will we break the situation?"

Hu Luguang, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help but interjected!

People who play bows and arrows naturally understand the details of these twists and turns.The purpose of piling up mounds is to gain a height advantage. Shooting arrows condescendingly, the arrows will be powerful if they miss. You can even carry the bed crossbow up for fun, which is enough for the defenders to drink a pot.

However, if mounds are piled up outside the city, wooden forts can also be erected inside the city, so that the height can be compared with the height.

At that time, is it possible to compete with the other party and who can pile up more?
Hearing this, Gao Huan frowned slightly.What Duan Shao said was reasonable, and what Hu Luguang said was not bad.On the contrary, the other generals in the camp didn't say a word, which seemed very strange.

"King Gao, piling up soil is only one of the strategies for siege. It doesn't say that you only use piling up soil for siege. No matter how you play it, there is no doubt that this move can consume the strength of the defenders.

In addition, we can also dig tunnels from outside the city to the inside of the city. "

Duan Shao looked around the crowd and said, frowning slightly calmly.

He could see that the old and cunning people around Gao Huan all saw that Yubi City was not easy to deal with, more words made more mistakes, less words and less actions, it's not bad if you don't do it!

"Your subordinates are ignorant, so I can only think of so much. How to attack Yubi, I ask King Gao to decide for himself."

Duan Shaomian said something in a hidden voice, then retreated to an empty table and sat down.

……

Under the strong promotion of Liu Yishou, the "Zhanshange" decree was first rolled out in Jiankang and the surrounding Danyang and other places, and encountered great resistance.

The powerful slave hunting team of the aristocratic family moved after hearing the news, and with the time lag with the manpower sent by the imperial court, they drove away the ordinary people who were begging for a living in the Huze mountain forest, trying to obstruct the implementation of the law.

Liu Yishou ordered Yang Zhong to lead troops to suppress it forcefully, and hung the head of the culprit on the fence of Jiankang Outer City to show his determination to implement the law.

It just fell into the night that day, and Liu Yishou and Chen Yuankang were discussing the trial effect of "Zhanshange" in the study.

"The aristocratic family reacted so violently, this strategy can be said to have hurt their foundation."

Liu Yishou said with a sneer.

For example, the oranges picked in the forest by a lake villa of the Langya Wang family are well-known trademarks in Jiankang City, and they can be sold in shops in Jiankang City in exchange for a lot of money every year.

Now the local residents can also pick these oranges according to the geographical distribution. Can the wealthy families not work hard?
"They're all in such a hurry that they don't even give me a daughter! I think Ling's progress is not thorough enough!"

Liu Yishou said bitterly.

Chen Yuankang shook his head helplessly, a little on behalf of those aristocratic families, and said: "Even if they send it, the lord will not take it. Since returning it is a slap in the face, why bother to send the face for the lord to slap?"

"You don't understand that. I don't want to be a daughter of a noble family, but they have to give it away. If they don't give it up, they will look down on me."

Liu Yishou said plausibly.

Suddenly, both of them heard a noise from the direction of the lobby, as if many people had entered the empty palace.

"Could it be that someone from a powerful family came to settle accounts with us?"

Liu Yishou asked with a strange face.

Now that Yang Zhong's army is stationed in Stone City, and there are Yangkan's imperial guards in Taicheng, are these people tired of living?
"My lord, don't panic, this subordinate will go and see what happened first."

Chen Yuankang said calmly.

"No need, let's go and see together."

Liu Yishou stood up, picked up the Shansheng sword from the wall, and pushed open the door of the study.

Not only did Yuan Shikang disappear, there was not even a servant in the courtyard!

Liu Yishou and Chen Yuankang looked at each other, and walked cautiously towards the lobby.
