On the third day after Wang Bo's army besieged Sucheng, the war finally entered a crazy mode. The 15 troops changed their formation and surrounded Sucheng tightly. Since the sun just emerged from the horizon, the Jibei Army's fierce offensive has begun.Wang Bo, who was already seriously short of food, had no time to stay outside Sucheng. He had vaguely thought that he had been tricked by Li Mi.He couldn't understand what he said at the beginning, since Li Mi is the man of destiny, shouldn't his words be full of promises?

After thinking about it for half a night, Wang Bo gradually understood a truth. It seems that Yang Guang, the Emperor of Daye, was not a man who kept his word. Throughout the ages, few emperors kept their word.

But even if he understands this truth and knows that he has fallen into Li Mi's plan to drive away tigers and wolves, it is too late for Wang Bo to turn around now. Now that the army is short of food, if he wants to pull the team back to the Jibei Army Going to the cottage, in addition to facing the people of Yanyun Village chasing and killing from behind, they also have to face the situation of a large number of soldiers fleeing due to lack of food.If he retreated, he would have to go to the affluent Qi County and plunder along the way the food and grass supply to maintain the army.But there is a fierce tiger named Zhang Xutuo entrenched in Qi County, and Wang Bo, who has been bitten twice by this tiger, really doesn't have the courage to provoke the tiger's temper now.

Drive away tigers and wolves?

But he never thought about which one is a tiger and which is a wolf compared with Li Xian?

An army of 15 besieged the four gates, and Wang Bo demanded that the heads of the villages under him must take Sucheng within a day.Seeing his soldiers and horses slamming into the city wall of Sucheng like a turbulent wave, he suddenly remembered the plan Li Mi had made for him before he left.Besiege Sucheng, and then send a partial division to surprise Juyeze.

Thinking of this made Wang Bo's eyes brighten. Compared to Ju Yeze, Sucheng is just a stronghold on the outskirts of Yanyun Village. Even if Sucheng is lost, Li Xian probably won't be too distressed.But Juye Ze is different, that is the foundation of Yanyun Village.As long as he wins Juyeze, Li Xian will no longer have an advantage in Dongping County, and will even fall into a slump and eventually perish.

Thinking of this, Wang Bo immediately sent someone to call Luo Manzi over.Luo Manizi was one of the first few people who followed Wang Bo in rebellion. Although this person had no knowledge of martial arts, it was commonplace, and he had never read a book on military affairs, but Wang Bo knew that although Luo Manizi had a small mind, he told him Be loyal.Compared with Chuji, he trusted Luo Manzi more.Because Chuji's greed is greater than Luo Manzi's, and he wants to be greedy for everything.Wang Bo didn't dare to let Qiuji go to fight Juyeze, because he was worried that even if Qiuji took down Juyeze, he might have some dirty ideas and occupy that piece of geomantic treasure land to make himself king.

Another reason is that Luo Mangzi is the head of the Jibei Army with the most soldiers and horses in all the villages except Wang Bo.There were many and miscellaneous, the able-bodied people among the captives were picked out by Wang Bo, and the rest were divided among the battalions, and the rest were given to Luo Manzi.

Therefore, if Luo Laizi was sent to go, even if he lost the whole army, Wang Bo would not be so distressed. If he won, Luo Laizi was just joking if he wanted to rely on his old and weak soldiers to make himself king.

"Lao Luo!"

Wang Bo saw that Luo Manzi hurried over to meet him, took his hand and said, "I have something to entrust to you!"

Seeing his solemn tone, Luo Manzi's heart tightened: "Master, what's the matter, just tell me."

Wang Bo pulled Luo Manzi aside and said, "I've thought about it carefully. Our 15 troops can't all be blocked in Sucheng. To tell you the truth, the food and grass in the army are already in short supply. My plan is that you take your army with you." The soldiers and horses left the camp immediately, and traveled day and night to raid Juyeze, the old nest of Yanyun Village. Now that the troops of Yanyun Village are scattered all over Dongping County, Juyeze's defense is empty, which is a good time to attack."

Luo Manzi was startled: "The master, but... the combat power of my men and horses..."

"do not worry!"

Wang Bo comforted: "You are only going to the front station. You have more than 4 horses under your command. Even if the soldiers are average in combat power, can't you still have nothing to do with an empty Juyeze? Even if you can't fight, I don't blame you, Su. There won't be a long delay on the city side, and Sucheng can be captured in two days at most. After moving out all the food, grass and supplies in the city, I will lead the army to join you. You have to remember that Sucheng is just a small place. Yu Juye Ze is nothing at all. Our main purpose of going south this time is to snatch the geomantic treasure land of Ju Ye Ze, as for whether we can kill all the people in Yanyun Village, we can put it aside."

"You don't need to worry, I'll give you enough food and grass, and, think about it, Juyeze is the base camp of Yanyun Village, and there must be countless food and treasures in the lake. I will promise you one thing first, you can break through After Juyeze, you can take your village master's men and horses to plunder Juyeze for a day, and all the things you get will belong to you. I guarantee that you will not ask for a copper coin. Even if someone is jealous, you will have my back Nothing to worry about."

Luo Manzi thought about it for a while but was still worried and said: "Master, in terms of the combat power of the soldiers in our village, apart from your personal soldiers under Mr. Master, there are even more people in the village of Qiu Ji and Pei Lin. Although there are many people under my command, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled..."

"Lao Luo!"

Wang Bo said angrily, "Why are you so unhappy!"

He whispered to Luo Manzi: "Do you think I don't know Chuji's thoughts? Although he is the old man who started to fight with me at the beginning like you, but since I let him sit as the head of a village, he The greed in my heart became more and more intense, and he wished to replace me, how could I trust him to do such a big job? As for Pei Lin, he came from a noble family, and their Pei family sent him here I have no good intentions at all. Think I can’t guess? Can those aristocratic families be able to hide people’s betting methods? Lao Luo, I have a mirror in my heart. In this village, you are the most loyal to me!"

"Master, you know all about it?"

Luo Manzi said awkwardly: "Actually... Chuji has approached me more than once, he is..."

Wang Bo raised his eyebrows and said, "If it wasn't for my love at the beginning, how could I tolerate him? It's just that after all, we are old brothers who have come together through ups and downs, and I don't have the heart to lay hands on him. Wait, if he repents, we will still be brothers who live and die together like in the beginning!"

"The master is benevolent and righteous!"

Luo Manzi said: "That guy Chuji, you are a wolf! Just the night before yesterday, when the head of the family sent me and Chuji to watch the night, I was drinking in his tent. The prestige of the head is bound to plummet, and he asked me to stand up against you at that time, he said that as long as I ensure him to ascend to the position of the head, he will allow me to be the king with one word in the future! Be careful, the head!"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion!"

"Old Luo, don't delay any longer. Immediately mobilize your troops and go to the supply camp to collect food and grass. You will set out today!"

Luo Manzi nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Master! If you can't take Ju Ye Ze, you cut off my head."

The two chatted for a while and then separated, Wang Bo went to command the siege, and Luo Manzi went to rectify the troops.After Wang Bo left, Luo Manzi looked at his back and sneered twice and said to himself: "Think I'm a fool? Neither you nor Qiu Ji have a good thing. You fight it. If I can take down Juyeze, which one is better?" Need to see your face?"

Wang Bo walked forward with a gloomy expression.

As I walked, I thought, it seems that there is no need to stay with the old people who followed me at the beginning, no matter whether it is Chu Ji or Luo Manzi, don’t blame me for being cruel when Dongping County is taken down, the road is made by myself, and I can’t blame others!

He raised his head and ordered loudly: "Come here, go and tell Master Qiu that you must break through the east gate before today, otherwise, don't blame me for doing it military law!"

……

……

From morning to noon, the Jinbei army stormed for three hours, and the corpses piled up under the city of Sucheng were nearly one person high, and blood lay out from the pile of corpses like a river.There are corpses and arrows everywhere on the ground outside the city. From a distance, it looks like a piece of wheat has grown on the ground.

There are some courageous birds hovering in the air, waiting for those who are still shouting to kill to disperse.Those corpses, some of which were already stiff and cold, while others were still warm, were undoubtedly a delicious meal in their eyes.Standing on the city wall, Xiong Kuohai couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he had repelled the Jibei Army's attack. It seemed that Wang Bo had gone crazy this time and wanted to take Sucheng within today.

"Captain!"

His personal soldiers leaned over and said softly: "We have counted the casualties. We lost more than 300 brothers in Houtu camp and injured more than 1000 people. The casualties of the county soldiers and civilians in Sucheng are about [-]."

The soldier glanced at the city and said: "However... the Jinbei Army has at least five times as many people as ours!"

Xiong Kuohai nodded and said: "Go and see if the food has been delivered to the city wall. If not, go and urge it. You can't let the brothers fight hungry."

The soldier responded and ran to the distance, while Xiong Kuohai went towards the tower to look for Li Xian, and happened to see Li Xian walking towards him, Xiong Kuohai rushed to meet him.

"General, how is the situation in the other gates?"

Xiong Kuohai asked.

Li Xian said: "I walked around all four gates. Although the Jinbei army attacked the other gates fiercely, the east gate you defended was the most fierce. The Jibei army at the south gate once attacked the city wall. , but did not cause any major danger. How about your side, how about the casualties?"

Xiong Kuohai recounted the number of casualties and sighed: "It seems that Wang Bo's army is really going to run out of food, otherwise how could it be so crazy!"

Li Xian nodded: "It's okay, after the waves of offensives in the morning, the momentum of the Jibei Army has weakened. Did you find it?"

he suddenly asked
