Chapter 415 Assault on the Sacrificial City.

……

At the end of April in 739 of the Dayang calendar, His Royal Highness King Yin of Dayang led [-] Zhengyang troops to attack Changting, the capital of Jicheng, over a long distance.

After ten days, [-] Zhengyang troops finally arrived at the city of Jicheng.

After a day's rest, Yin Wang Zhu Jian then ordered to attack Jicheng.

Although surprised by the sudden appearance of [-] Zhengyang troops outside the city, the Jicheng garrison was not too flustered. On the first day of the Zhengyang army's siege, relying on the defense machinery and arrows to forcibly let the [-] Zhengyang troops The army didn't even touch the city wall.

On the second day, King Yin Zhu Jian sent [-] Zhengyang troops to attack Jicheng, half of the [-] Zhengyang troops in his hands.However, this time Yin Wang Zhu Jian ordered the [-] Zhengyang Army to attack the Jicheng from the south and west of the Jicheng, and this time the [-] Zhengyang Army finally let the siege equipment be attached to the Jicheng wall. These Zhengyang soldiers had time to climb up the city wall, and the kerosene poured down by the garrison soldiers in Jicheng immediately dashed all hopes, and many Zhengyang soldiers who were contaminated by kerosene let out heart-piercing shouts .

Zhu Jian, who was standing on the hillside watching from a distance, saw this scene, and a hint of sadness appeared in Gujing Wubo's eyes. He sighed softly and then ordered to the bodyguard beside him, "Ming Jin, withdraw your troops."

So the attack on Jicheng on the second day was still fruitless, and the 5000 Zhengyang soldiers in Zhu Jian's hands also dropped sharply to [-] in the past two days, a quarter of the number in just two days. It was beyond Zhu Jian's expectation.

On the third day, Zhu Jian ordered a day off.

within the tent.

Looking at Zhu Jian who was frowning tightly, Le Bai couldn't help suggesting, "Why don't you attack Crane City, firstly, you can block the connection between Jicheng and the front line, and secondly, use Crane City as a springboard to continue attacking Xucheng , and join the army of the King of Yue."

Zhu Jian shook his head and said, "It's too late. The defensive strength of Crane City is only slightly inferior to that of Jicheng. If the five thousand soldiers are not dead, they can take their lives in exchange for their lives. However, the morale of the army is unstable now. Even if you want to If you try, it won't work."

"Then what should we do now?" Le Bai said fiercely, "Since we are all going to die anyway, it is better to continue to attack the sacrifice city. I don't believe that the sacrifice city is an iron wall. Even if it is, our Zhengyang Army will still be bitten by it. Next piece of meat."

"It's not necessarily a copper wall or an iron wall. From the two days of testing, it can be inferred that there are only a few thousand troops stationed in the city, and there are not many arrow reserves. If the emperor's uncle's [-] Zhengyang troops are here, they may be able to capture this city in one fell swoop. Sacrifice to the city."

Le Bai was silent for a while, and then said, "There is no speculation about the war."

Zhu Jian heard the words and sighed, "Yes, there is no speculation about the war, and naturally we have to plan for the worst. I never blamed the emperor's choice. On the contrary, the emperor's uncle was able to borrow the [-] Zhengyang troops from me. You have greatly recognized me, Zhu Jian, and it is because of my incompetence that I, Zhu Jian, cannot attack this city of sacrifice."

"By the way, did the carrier pigeon send any news?" Zhu Jian suddenly asked Le Bai.

Le Bai nodded and said, "As you expected, the arrival of [-] Zhengyang soldiers at Jicheng put a lot of pressure on Wang Yu and Chen Chi. Yesterday Mo Wenjun and Gu Lijun both chose to avoid the battle."

"In this way, I, Dayang, have firmly stepped into the long pavilion with one foot." Zhu Jian said with a faint smile.

"Don't be too happy, I think you don't know what it means to us once they return to Yuanji City." Le Bai took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, [-] Yong County Iron Cavalry They are rushing towards Jicheng, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Jicheng in five days or more in a week. Since you know that most of the Changting’s terrain is plains, you should also know what plains mean to cavalry.”

Zhu Jian's face remained calm, even the corners of his lips raised involuntarily.

"It turned out to be a dead end."

Since it is a dead end, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Continue to attack Jicheng?"

"Besides this road, is there any other way we can take?" Zhu Jian smiled and asked.

Hearing this unchangeable answer, Le Bai smiled wryly, "Then let's fight, it's not too bad to die under the city of Jicheng."

"For you, Le Bai, isn't it not too bad to die after one hundred years old?"

Hearing this, Le Bai swept away his annoyance, gave Zhu Jian a blank look, and said, "After you said that, I realized that going to this pavilion with you was the worst deal I ever did, no, I'm doing it with you, shorty Zhu. There has never been a single profit in the business."

Zhu Jian didn't show any anger when he heard the words. Instead, he looked at Le Bai with a smile and said, "Lao Le, I still have a deal here, do you want to do it? If it's done, I'll invite you to Jicheng to drink flower wine."

Le Bai was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Jian and said, "Hey, you Zhu dwarf, have you already had a plan to break the city and deliberately made me worry about you for so long?"

Then Le Bai quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I won't do this sale, the price is too low. If it is done, you, Zhu Shorty, have to invite me to Changting Palace. I heard that the owner of Changting What a beauty, I want to see if the concubines like Changting are as beautiful as gods."

"No problem." Zhu Jian slapped the wooden case with his big hand and responded boldly, which was extremely rare to see.

"Tell me, what's the trick, I'm all ears."

Zhu Jian unhurriedly drank a cup of tea before saying, "It's very simple, just show my name."

"What do you mean?"

"Let the garrison in Jicheng understand that it is I, King Yin Zhu Jian, who led the [-] Zhengyang troops to attack Jicheng. Of course, in order for them to fully confirm this news, I will personally supervise the battle tomorrow."

"No! If you get hurt by Ruya, the loss outweighs the gain—"

Zhu Jian waved his hand and interrupted, "I've made up my mind. To convince them that it's me, I have to stand in front of them."

Seeing that Zhu Jian refused to listen to persuasion, Le Bai suppressed his anger and continued, "Okay, then I want to hear what you are going to do at the expense of revealing your identity."

"There are still [-] cavalry in the [-] Zhengyang Army that have not been used—"

"It's fifteen thousand Zhengyang troops." Le Bai said coldly.

"Well, all in all, these three thousand cavalry are the top priority of my plan this time. Whether or not the city can be broken depends entirely on these three thousand cavalry, so I hope you can serve as the general of this cavalry."

Le Bai's eyes widened. Before he said anything about this plan, he made himself an official first.

Le Bai couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Don't think that you can bribe me with this position of general, if you don't fully explain this plan, even if you don't want me as a centurion. You are not allowed to mess around."

Zhu Jian smiled and said, "Then I might disappoint you, this time I'm really going to mess around."

"Then you'd better stop talking." Lebo said expressionlessly, "Because I won't agree."

"If you don't promise me, I, you, Brother Su, and the remaining [-] Zhengyang soldiers will all die."

"If you agree, you, Brother Su, and thousands of Zhengyang troops will all survive. As for me, it depends on my luck."

Zhu Jian looked at Le Bai quietly, his eyes full of smiles.

Le Bai was silent, he almost forgot that his friend always had only one choice.
