Zhang Kui coughed twice and said calmly: "This time the Zhou army has strong soldiers and horses, attacks quickly and fiercely, and has an absolute advantage. It is obviously stronger than us."
"Moreover, there are two armies in the Great Zhou Dynasty, attacking from both sides. Even Gaohe City will have a hard time resisting."
Yu Ran was so angry that he couldn't help but want to rush forward.
If Zhang Kui and others planned to surrender to Zhou Dynasty, he would avenge his father and his eldest and second brothers even if he went alone.
However, Yu Ran was pulled back by Wan Cai.
Wancai's expression was relaxed, not panicked at all, and he even showed a smile.
"but."
At this moment, Zhang Kui changed the subject, "Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is powerful, there are many surrendered troops from the Dachuan Kingdom among them. These people may not be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Furthermore, Gaohe City is built along the river, so it may not be easily captured."
A sneer appeared on Zhang Kui's face, "Therefore, I, the general, have decided not to surrender to Da Zhou and to fight to the end."
"What!"
Yu Ran was shocked by this turn of events. He originally heard Zhang Kui talk about the strength of the Zhou army and thought Zhang Kui was ready to surrender.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui actually planned to fight to the end.
At this time, Yu Ran couldn't help but look at Wan Cai.
Wan Cai's expression never changed, he was very relaxed.
Could it be that he had guessed this result from the beginning.
Yu Ran was glad in his heart that there were Wan Cai Zai, two generals Zhang Kui and Yu Xiaobei, and an army of 100,000 troops.
It may not be impossible to fight back to Nanchuan City and re-establish the Dachuan Kingdom.
Zhang Kui has absolute majesty in the army. He will fight to the end. Even if some generals are reluctant, they still support Zhang Kui.
In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and everyone obeyed Zhang Kui's orders.
Zhang Kui was so heroic that he wrote a letter on the spot and presented it to Kou Wang in return.
The content of the letter can be described as resolute, vowing to fight Da Zhou to the end.
"Bastard!" After receiving the reply, Kou Wang slammed the letter on the table and cursed angrily.
Deng Yongle smiled helplessly. Although Kou Wang had changed a lot, he was still a little irrational when facing the enemy who killed his brothers.
Kou Wang almost led his troops to attack Gaohe City before, but luckily he was stopped by Deng Yongle.
"General Kou, Gaohe City's 100,000-strong garrison is no joke. Even if our number doubles, we still can't say that we can surely defeat it."
"From my point of view, we first surround Gaohe City, cut off its food and grass, and wait for the support of the two generals Meng He and Youkan, and then we will not be too late to attack Gaohe City."
Gaohe City is strong and the defenders are powerful. Their only advantage is that they can cut off Gaohe City's food and grass, leaving them without support.
As time went by, the army in Gaohe City naturally couldn't stand it.
Kou Wang also understood this truth, but he was still a little unwilling to do so.
"Hmph, I'll go to Gaohe City to call for a formation tomorrow to see if Zhang Kui is going to be a turtle with his head reduced."
"General Deng, inform the entire army to prepare for battle."
Deng Yongle nodded, this can be considered a solution.
If they can attract the enemy out in advance, they will have a chance to defeat the enemy.
By then, it will be easier to break through Gaohe City.
The next day, Kou Wang really came to Gaohe City to call for formation.
Moreover, he still fought alone, which made people admire Kou Wang's courage and bravery.
Kou Wang laughed loudly and yelled at Zhang Kui and others outside the city. He also continued to provoke, saying that the defenders in the city were all cowards.
Although the defenders in the city were angry, they still did not dare to leave the city to meet the enemy.
They really don't dare to fight against Dazhou now.
In terms of morale alone, it is impossible to defeat.
However, Kou Wang's scolding was so unpleasant that even these rough guys couldn't listen to it.
Finally, on this day, Gaohe City opened the city gate, and a tall general rushed out, it was Yu Xiaobei.
"Well done!" Kou Wang's eyes lit up. After shouting for so many days, the enemy finally had some reaction.
Yu Xiaobei is Kou Wang's old rival. Now Kou Wang is so proud that he plans to stay here with Yu Xiaobei.
In fact, Yu Xiaobei's strength is also terrifyingly strong, but his inner energy cultivation is pitifully weak. Otherwise, he can be called a strong man.
Kou Wang fought with him for fifty rounds, all fighting against Yu Xiaobei.
Finally, Yu Xiaobei fled back to Gaohe City in a hurry.
At night, Kou Wang was drinking in the army.
Today's battle was really enjoyable, the only regret was that I didn't kill Yu Xiaobei.
"The fate of Yu Xiaobei is really great. I will kill him sooner or later."
"Generals Meng He and Youkan will arrive near Gaohe City soon, and our army has been besieging them for more than ten days. I believe they are almost out of water and food."
"When the two generals arrive, it will be time to capture Gaohe City."
Deng Yongle said with confidence.
They besieged but did not attack, just waiting for this day.
Even if Zhang Kui and others can keep their composure, they may not be able to hold on for much longer.
"General!"
At this time, a soldier walked towards the two of them and said respectfully.
"What's up?"
"General, Guo Si, the surrendered army, has asked to see the two generals. He said that he has important secrets that he wants to inform the two generals."
"Guo Si?" Kou Wang murmured. He had never heard of this name.
But Deng Yongle reacted, "It must be that centurion, I remember him."
Guo Si was originally the garrison of a small town in Nanchuan Prefecture. When the Zhou army came, he rebelled in advance and tied up the garrison of the small town and gave it to Deng Yongle and Kou Wang.
Kou Wang and Deng Yongle looked at each other and asked someone to bring Guo Si over, intending to listen to what he had to say.
I saw Guo Si kneeling on the ground as soon as he came over, with a flattering look on his face.
Kou Wang and Deng Yongle were very confused and looked at Guo Si, not understanding what he was going to do.
"General, what I'm going to say next is a secret. The fewer people who know it, the better." Guo Si looked up at Kou Wang and Deng Yongle and blinked.
Kou Wang understood and quickly asked everyone in the tent to retreat, except Deng Yongle.
Kou Wang was not afraid that Guo Si would make a sneak attack. With him and Deng Yongle around, ordinary people really couldn't attack them.
After seeing everyone exit the camp, Guo Sicai continued: "General Kou, General Deng, the younger ones know that Dachuan Kingdom, no, the Nanchuan rebels are planning a war, and they plan to cooperate internally and externally to eliminate the armies of several generals."
Hearing this, Kou Wang and Deng Yongle were shocked like a thunderbolt, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"Is this true, and how did you find out?" Soon, Kou Wang asked like Guo Si.
This matter is of great importance and must be understood clearly.
Guo Si smiled and said: "The two generals have a large number of surrendered troops from Nanchuan. Although these people surrender to Zhou on the surface, they may not really obey behind the scenes."
"Dissatisfied with the two generals, the remnants of the rebels are now in Gaohe City."
"In the name of Yu Ran, Zhang Kui secretly sent people to plan among the Nanchuan rebels and prepare to launch a general attack on Dazhou soon."
"And this group of Nanchuan rebels will cause internal riots and, together with the 100,000 troops in Gaohe City, will destroy the Zhou army."
