kingly way

Chapter 56 Chapter 056

the second night...

Duan Yingwu, Du Mingzhi, Wu Feiyang, and Tao Congrong are discussing countermeasures against Dan Guojun in the palace;

"Report!"

There came the report of scouts;
"Why is it so urgent?" Duan Yingwu asked.

"My lord, Tan Guojun is about to attack the city again." Xun Bing reported.

"Night attack again?"

Duan Yingwu grunted impatiently, and led the generals towards the city wall.

……

Duan Yingwu, Du Mingzhi, Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong and others arrived at the city wall.

"What's the situation?" Duan Yingwu asked.

"Just now we observed that the Tan Kingdom army camp was a bit messy. There were torches appearing vaguely. After the torches were extinguished, a black shadow moved towards our Ancheng. It looked like the Dan Kingdom army. They should start attacking the city again," Kong Wu also said. Duan Yingwu reported.

"The night is too dark, I'm afraid there may be fraud, we can't go out of the city, the archers are ready. Wait for the target to enter the range of the arrow before releasing the arrow."

Duan Yingwu had the experience of repelling the enemy last time, so he calmly prepared the soldiers for the battle;
Tan Guojun moved slowly, they approached the city wall, and gradually entered the range of the Yunzhou Army's arrows;

"Fire arrows."

Du Mingzhi gave an order, arrows rained down and shot at Tan Guojun,
They saw Dan Guo's army flustered and withdrew from the range of Ju Guo's arrows;

Tan Guojun stopped attacking, they gathered outside the range of the arrows and stood still, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to attack;

Dan Guojun launched several attacks, but was shot back by Ju Guojun's arrows;

night,
very dark,

Dan country barracks,

In the tent of Tan Guojun;
Ying Zhen sat in the middle,

Song Weidian, Lu Chaoyi, and Wei Wugan sat on both sides;

"Hahaha... Tonight was quite effective again, and I harvested a large number of sharp arrows." Wei Wuqian said with a happy smile.

"My son's move is high enough. Duan Ying's military defense is not impossible; if he doesn't, he is worried that we will attack the city suddenly, and defense will be exhausting. I believe that they will definitely be exhausted in half a month. It's a good time for us to make a move." Song Weidian also said with a happy smile.

"Let's not be happy, if Duan Yingwulue guesses our plan, he can destroy our plan with one trick." Ying Luo said.

"Is there any other scheme that can destroy our scheme? They are not even able to prevent abandonment now." Wei Wuqian asked.

"It's confidential, don't spread it; we're just thinking about it in our own situation, maybe he's already suspicious." Ying Luo said.

……

twelve days later,

King Ju's Palace,

Duan Yingwu sat in the middle, Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wu also sat on both sides;

"Report..."

The scouts came again to spread the word;

"Tell me, is the Dan Guo army attacking the city again?"

Duan Yingwu has been listening to the reports of the scouts day and night for more than ten days, day and night, he feels a little annoyed;

"This son of a bitch, Ying Zhen, will either attack at night or call for a war. At that time, he will either be trapped to death or bored to death. Your lord, why don't you just send an army out of the city to fight them to the death? Man, if you want to die, die!" Vigorously, to be treated like this by them is simply useless." Wu Feiyang yelled loudly.

"General Wu, you must stay calm on the battlefield and don't be irritable. Why don't I want to have a hearty fight with them, but the difference in strength between the enemy and us is a bit big! It's okay to defend the city. If we want to fight, I'm afraid we win less and lose more! " Duan Yingwu said.

"There is no way to go on like this! Our food and grass are getting less and less, and our arrows are also getting less and less. We can't last long anymore!" Tao Congrong said dejectedly.

"According to the information obtained by the spies, Yingzhen's east gate is relatively weak. Maybe we can find a chance to break through the east gate; if we keep the green hills, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Kong Wu also said.

"Isn't there a heavy army at the east gate? Hehe, that's impossible. The thief Ying Zhen wouldn't be so kind. He might have set up an ambush there, waiting for us to go in and catch turtles." Tao Congrong said.

"In my opinion, Ying Zhen will not set up an ambush at the east gate. The east gate is a plain and there is no ambush site; the north gate and west gate are suitable for ambush because of the Chihua Mountains." Duan Yingwu said.

"Your Majesty, what does Ying Zhen mean by doing this? Wanting to let us escape?" Kong Wu also asked puzzled.

"Our soldiers and people are united, we won't be able to attack for a long time, and the supply of backup supplies is troublesome, and most of the besieged city is the soldiers of the Dan State Army. I guess he doesn't want to fight for a long time and wants to preserve his strength. He deliberately let us survive." Duan Yingwu thoughtfully. Thinking.

"Oh. Your Majesty's opinion, maybe this is the reason why he didn't have a heavy army at the East Gate." Kong Wu also said.

"Ye Gong, maybe Ying Zhen is putting pressure on us recently. Arrange your family members separately. If the city is broken, you can only take a chance and escape from the east gate." Duan Yingwu said.

"We are willing to live and die with Ancheng." Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wu also bowed and clasped their fists and said in unison.

"In fact, you don't need to make unnecessary sacrifices, let alone you have family members. I hope my judgment this time is not wrong; everyone must not make this matter public, so as not to affect morale." Duan Yingwu said.

Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wu also bowed and cupped their fists in unison.

"Wait, General Kong, arrange some more spies to spy on the situation at the east gate, especially the place where an ambush can be set up. You need to investigate in detail. Also, the troops at the direction of the east gate are relatively weak."

Duan Yingwu pondered for a while and told Kong Wu to follow suit;
"Your Majesty, I'll do it now." Kong Wu also said;

"For so many years, all brothers have followed me in the South and the North, suffered and suffered, and made great contributions to the Kyushu Empire. I didn't expect that when we first established our achievements, we would suffer this day's injustice. I, Duan Yingwu, feel ashamed of all brothers. gone."

Duan Yingwu was talking, tears streaming down his face, and his voice choked up;

"Follow Your Majesty, we have no complaints or regrets. It's just that Jin Yuanhong killed the donkey and Kyushu was pacified. He felt that he didn't need us anymore, so he wanted to kill us and all the heroes." Tao Congrong said emotionally;
"Generals, I have a plan, you follow my plan, you surround me." Duan Yingwu said to the crowd;

Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wu also approached Duan Yingwu and surrounded him. Duan Yingwu lowered his voice and told them his plan;
"Your Majesty, you can't do this, you have to go, let's all go together."

After Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wuyi heard Duan Yingwu's words, they hurriedly said in surprise;

"Jin Yuanhong's main target is me. If I go with you, everyone will not be able to leave. My family members will ask a few brothers." Duan Yingwu clasped his fists and said.

"Your Majesty..."

Wu Feiyang, Tao Congrong, and Kong Wuyi said in unison with tears streaming down their faces.

"You don't need to say any more, go ahead. I predict that the Dan Guo army will attack the city in a big way soon. Ying Zhen can't wait any longer. It doesn't matter if we die in battle, but what about our family members?" Duan Yingwu choked up and said .
