On a small hillside outside the city of Marudu, Wang Meng and his subordinates were observing the city of Marudu, and the king of Wofu and the king of Sanhan and others were also accompanied by him, and even the captured noble was also invited, although the noble identity was a prisoner of the Jin army, but Wang Meng treated him very well, and talked about the general trend of the world with him, as if he had been an old friend for many years.

For Wang Meng's extra enthusiasm, Gao Shang always had a trace of vigilance, and felt that Wang Meng had some kind of purpose, but Wang Meng's enthusiasm more or less made him have a lot of good feelings, and felt that Wang Meng was a good person, and his vigilance became less and less.

The Marudu Castle in front of you looks tall and majestic, with a height of four or five zhang, and a moat three zhang wide has been dug around the city, and the city gate is raised forward, and it is obvious that there is an urn castle inside.

"General, Marudu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it seems that it is not easy to break through Marudu City?" King Ma Han looked at the tall Pill Capital City and said with a weak heart.

Obviously, there is no such large-scale city wall in Samhan, and King Mahan has no confidence at all in capturing such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Marudu Castle.

King Chen Han and King Mu Han also looked at Marudu City with helpless eyes.

"As long as the soldiers use their lives, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked, and you Sanhan people are incompetent." King Wofu glared at King Samhan and roared angrily.

King Chenhan was furious when he heard this, and retorted: "The people of Wofu can't even protect their wives and children, and they are even more waste. ”

The implication is that Baishan City was attacked by the three Hans, and the women and children of Wofu were humiliated by the Samhan people, and even several of the favorite concubines of the King of Wofu were defiled by their three Han kings.

"What do you say, believe it or not, this king cut you." The scars of King Wofu were revealed, and it was uncovered by an enemy who had insulted his favorite concubine. This made him furious, and he immediately drew the weapon he was wearing.

"I'm afraid you won't make it." The people of the Three Han Kings also drew their weapons and confronted King Wofu and others.

Seeing the tension between King Wofu and King Sanhan and others, Wang Meng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and looked at the noble beside him. He said softly: "There has always been discord within our army, which made General Gao laugh. ”

"Haha! Even if there is internal discord, General Wang will fight to the bottom, admire, noble and admire! Gao Shang said with a smile.

saw Wang Meng and Gao Shang talking with a smile, and looked down on the contradictions between them. King Wofu and King Sanhan and the others all put away their weapons in a boring manner, and continued to glare at each other.

Wang Meng pointed to the Pill Capital City in front of him and asked softly: "Pill Capital City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, General Gao has a strategy to break the city." After speaking, he looked at the noble.

Gao Shang was asked like this, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. Although he has been captured by the Jin army, he has always been a general of Goguryeo, and he is also a royal family, so he is naturally unwilling to ask Wang Mengjin to offer a strategy to break the city.

"With all due respect, Marudu City is well defended, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the general will not be able to break through Marudu City no matter what." Gao Gao said warningly.

Apparently. As a general of Goguryeo, he very much did not want Wang Meng's Jin army to break through the capital of Maru, because that would happen. Their Goguryeo face was completely lost.

Wang Meng smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "If General Ben insists on attacking Pill Capital City, can General Gao give some advice." ”

"The general is too embarrassed." Gao Shang shook his head, his face looking very bad.

"Hahaha! General Gao is really a loyal man, and he is unwilling to betray his king and Goguryeo no matter what. Wang Meng admired, admired. Wang Meng smiled and praised.

Seeing Wang Meng, he praised his loyalty. Gao Shang suddenly felt a little surprised and cramped, and looked at Wang Meng in a daze.

Wang Meng froze. Looking at Gao Shang, Zhengse said: "General Gao thinks that this general will not be able to break through the pill capital city no matter what, if the general breaks the pill capital city within three days, can the general Gao return to my Great Jin." After speaking, he waited for a noble answer.

Hearing this, Gao Shang thought about it in his heart, he felt that it was absolutely impossible for Wang Meng to break the city in three days, and he did have a good impression of Wang Meng and the Great Jin, so he said: "If the general can break the city within three days, he is willing to submit to the Great Jin and never betray." ”

"Okay, great, General Gao is not allowed to go back!" Wang Meng said.

Gao Shang nodded in confirmation, indicating that he would never regret it.

King Wofu and King Sanhan and others, when they heard that the city was going to be broken within three days, they all showed surprised expressions, in their opinion, the city of Marudu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone three days, even if it is difficult to take in thirty days, this is almost an impossible task.

However, Wang Meng has completed many seemingly unfinished tasks, so everyone also has a trace of expectation for Wang Meng and longs for a miracle to happen again.

Wang Meng turned his gaze to King Wofu and King Sanhan and the others, and Zhengse said, "Several kings immediately built siege equipment, and one day later, they began to attack the capital of Maru. ”

King Wofu, King Sanhan and the others all looked at Wang Meng in surprise and felt that Wang Meng was crazy.

"General, Marudu City is so easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army has prepared for a day, and the siege equipment created by our army cannot pose a threat to Marudu City at all, if it is forcibly attacked, it will inevitably cause great losses, and it is impossible to capture the city." King Mu Han was the first to express his doubts.

"General, should we prepare for a few more days, and when the siege equipment is sufficient, we will launch an attack on Marudu City." King Ma Han said.

"General, in the battle of Ma Zishui, I lost more than half of my soldiers, and I can't afford such losses anymore." King Wofu said helplessly.

Obviously, in the face of great difficulties, even King Wofu, who had always been against the King of Sanhan, relented, and he thought that Wang Meng let them rush to storm the capital of Maru, that is, let them go up and send them to death, no one wanted to die in vain, and King Wofu was no exception.

Wang Meng knew that they would react like this, smiled, and said: "You don't have to worry, Ben General just let you attack Marudu City, and didn't let you fight hard, your task is to exhaust the enemy, so that the Goguryeo army defending the city has no time to rest, and that's it, there will be no great losses." ”

After listening to Wang Meng's explanation, King Wofu and King Sanhan and the others were immediately relieved, if it was a feint attack of the nature of a tired enemy, it would not cause too much loss to the army under their command.

"Yes, General. We get it. King Wofu and King Sanhan and the others clenched their fists and led the way.

Seeing Wang Meng arrange it like this, the corner of his noble mouth, who had been silent, smiled, and said softly: "The general feels that he is taking advantage of such a tired enemy's strategy. Can you defeat the defenders of Marudu Fortress in three days, if so, the general will underestimate my Goguryeo army too much. ”

Obviously, his noble position was always on the side of Goguryeo, and he had great confidence in Goguryeo, and he did not believe that Wang Meng could use this small technique of carving insects to defeat the defenders of Maruducheng. After all, the soldiers and horses in Marudu City are the most elite and loyal personal guard troops under Gao Zhao, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight are very strong, plus the rebuilt Marudu City is extremely strong and tall, so. No matter what kind of strategy, he will not want to attack the capital of Maru.

Wang Meng smiled indifferently and said softly: "General Gao, don't forget the three-day appointment, how to break the city, the general knows it." After saying that, he turned and walked in the direction of the big tent.

King Wo Fu and King Sanhan and the others also followed Wang Meng and left in turn, only Gao Shang took a step slower, and he carefully recalled what Wang Meng had just said. Suddenly felt that Wang Meng let Sanhan and Wo Fu attack the capital of Maru was just a bait, and the real siege troops must be the elite of the Jin army. He had already learned this, on the north bank of the Mazi River, the main army under his command fought a bloody battle with the Wofu soldiers and horses, and as a result, the elite of the Jin army suddenly entered the north bank and captured him, thus achieving a complete victory. That is, in the midst of the three-way coalition. The Jin army, which has the smallest number of people, is the core force, and Wo Fu and Sanhan soldiers and horses are just subordinates.

Gao Shang was very worried about Gao Zhao in Marudu City. And I really want to send my judgment into the city, but all around him are the elite of the Jin army, his every move is restricted, and it is impossible to send out the information, besides, Wang Meng treats him as a friend and is very enthusiastic about him, and Gao Zhao has been suspicious of him for many years, among the generals under his command, there are also many Gao Zhao's eyes, they are obedient to their words on the surface, but no matter what they say or what they have done, Gao Zhao can be informed at the first time, for this reason, Gao Shang also has a lot of complaints about Gao Zhao, It's just that I keep it in my heart and never say it.

"That's it, that's it, everything is fate, let him go!" Gao Shang smiled to himself, followed behind everyone, and walked in the direction of the camp.

After returning to the camp, the soldiers and horses of Wofu and Sanhan immediately began to build siege equipment according to Wang Meng's instructions, and prepared to attack in the afternoon of the second day.

However, because Wang Meng gave the task of attacking and harassing the tired enemy, not for the purpose of breaking the city, for this reason, the enthusiasm of the soldiers and horses of Wo Fu and Sanhan was not very high, and the speed and quality of building siege equipment were relatively poor, after all, the second day was just a casual attack, and it was meaningless to do too well, and it was enough to scare the defenders in the capital of Maru.

Just when Wo Fu and Sanhan were building siege equipment, most of the elite Jin troops under Wang Meng's command slept in the camp tent, this was a military order given to them by Wang Meng, if any soldiers did not sleep, they would be executed immediately, for this reason, the camp was quiet, and there was no sound of talking.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Meng also took a nap, but because he didn't need to charge into battle in person, Wang Meng just took a short break and got up.

"General, General Gao is here." A pro-soldier whispered.

Wang Meng smiled slightly, got up and went out.

"Haha! General Gao is here, please come in. Wang Meng pulled the noble hands, enthusiastically pulled the noble into the Chinese army's big tent, and said affectionately: "The general just had a dream, dreaming that General Gao belonged to my Great Jin, and was canonized by the emperor as the king of Goguryeo in the main hall of the palace in Luoyang City, but as soon as the dream woke up, General Gao came, hahaha!" After speaking, he carefully watched the change of each expression of the noble.

When Gao Shang heard this, his heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but tremble freely, and after settling down, he looked at Wang Meng and said with a smile: "The general is really good at laughing, and he was almost deceived by the general, haha!" ”

Obviously, Gao Shang saw through Wang Meng's conspiracy and knew that Wang Meng was testing whether he had the ambition to become king, so that he could take the next step.

Seeing this, Wang Meng smiled and said, "Haha! still can't hide it from General Gao, but Ben Jiang sincerely hopes that General Gao can be the king of Goguryeo, so that Dajin and Goguryeo can be like a family forever. ”

"The general is not afraid that after I become the king, I will choose to be the enemy of the Great Jin." Gao Shang said.

"No, Ben will always be very accurate in looking at people, General Gao is not that kind of person, Ben will believe in General Gao." Wang Meng said.

Gao Shang smiled, which can be regarded as a recognition of what Wang Meng said.

"By the way, general, why are the soldiers in the camp sleeping, and now it's not bedtime yet, and the sun is still high?" Gao Shang asked curiously.

Wang Meng smiled and said softly, "Since General Gao is curious, you might as well guess." ”

"There is an important military operation at night, guess it well!" Noble and confident guessed.

Wang Meng smiled indifferently and said softly: "Get up in the evening to eat, and then sleep at night, General Gao guessed completely wrong." ”

"What, sleep at night." Gao Shang was very surprised, and frowned.

Obviously, at this moment, he really can't figure out what Wang Meng is going to do, let the soldiers sleep during the day, and still let the soldiers sleep at night, this is to let the soldiers change their living habits into pigs!

"Forgive me for being stupid, what the hell is the general trying to do?" Gao Shang couldn't guess, and driven by strong curiosity, he asked.

Wang Meng smiled and said, "I will do this to let General Gao belong to the Great Jin, haha!" ”

Obviously, Wang Meng did not answer the noble question head-on, after all, this is a military secret, and it can't be told to him yet, so as not to leak it out.

Gao Shang was helpless, so he had to frown and continue to think about the reason.

Just when the elite of the Jin army was busy resting, in the city of Marudu, four thousand elite troops of Goguryeo were preparing for war, in order to ensure that they would be able to hold the city of Marudu, a large number of soldiers carried all kinds of materials to the city, and tens of thousands of people in the city were also mobilized, and the city was full of people carrying rolling wood and stones and other equipment to defend the city.

Goguryeo King Gao Zhao and his henchmen and generals were inspecting the city's preparations on the city wall, and gave advice from time to time.

"King, Marudu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army is so well prepared, we will definitely be able to defend the city." A general looked at Gao Zhao and said confidently.

"Yes! Great King, there is plenty of food and grass in the city, and there is plenty of water, even if you are trapped for a year and a half, there will be no problem. Another general said.

Obviously, all the Goguryeo generals were full of great confidence in holding the city of Marudu, and felt that it was impossible for the enemy army to capture the city
