Luochuan Road Granary, although it is called a granary in name, in fact, this important town that stores half of the food of the Gongdu Kingdom is actually a fortified city with various defenses including moats, arrow towers, and urns. .
However, now, under the continuous fierce attack by the Gongdu army, these fortifications have basically been scrapped.
"Brothers, grit your teeth and hold on! Reinforcements will be here soon."
Standing on the top of the dilapidated city, as the commander-in-chief, Wang Kangxin ignored the fierce offensive of the palace soldiers. Surrounded by his own soldiers, he personally donned armor and went into battle to kill the enemy.
Encouraged by Wang Kangxin, the Zhou army, which was numerically inferior at the top of the city, once again showed strong fighting power and actually drove back the palace soldiers who had already rushed up step by step.
The palace soldiers who rushed up after a while finally couldn't hold on any longer and retreated like a tide. The Imperial Army of Zhou Dynasty in the city also got a chance to breathe.
"I'm reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that there are less than a thousand brothers who can still move in the city!"
After counting the casualties, a general lowered his head and reported the situation to Wang Kangxin.
When Wang Kangxin heard this, his already ugly face turned even darker. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "Give all the dried meat to the brothers so that everyone can have a good meal." , it won’t take long for these palace dogs to attack the city again!”
After General Xiang went down to do his work, Wang Kangxin stood up and looked at the crowded Gongdu military camp in the distance, gritting his teeth.
The actions of he and Li Wanshun were very smooth at first. They took advantage of the laxity of the palace army and captured Luochuan Daoliangcang with only 300 casualties, taking control of the most important military base in the palace. Supply sources.
But before Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun could get excited for too long, their nightmare came. They were surrounded by a total of eight thousand Gongdu troops.
In order to retake the granary of Luochuan Road, the Gongdu army attacking the city did not care about the cost. No matter how bravely the Zhou Imperial Army in the city killed the enemy, these Gongdu people still fought to the death. In just a few days, Gongdu people The capital's army suffered 2,500 casualties.
The casualties among the people in Gongdu were so heavy, and the Zhou imperial army in the city was not much better. The more than 2,000 people Wang Kangxin and Li Wanshun combined have now been reduced to more than half. Even the remaining people are only about half injured. Not only that, Even Li Wanshun was hit by a stray arrow and is still unconscious, leaving Wang Kangxin alone to command the army in the city.
Observing the enemy situation outside the city, Wang Kangxin remained expressionless on the surface, looking calm and composed, giving his subordinates a sense of peace of mind, but he was very anxious in his heart.
Although when the Gongdu people were attacking the city just now, he kept emphasizing to his subordinates that reinforcements would be arriving soon, but that was just an expedient measure he adopted to boost morale.
There are about 5,000 soldiers left in the palace army outside the city, while there are less than 1,000 Zhou soldiers inside the city. If reinforcements are not available, he can still defend for at most one day in the current situation. Time, the Luochuan Road granary will be breached in one day!
According to Wang Kangxin's own calculation, it would take at least two days for the reinforcements to arrive from Wanfeng Mansion to the Luochuan Road Granary. Although the difference between the two seems to be only one day, this one day is enough. Kill them all.
And if that time really comes, Wang Kangxin will have only two options to choose from.
There is nothing to say about the first one. It is to fight to the end. When the city is broken, fight in the streets, shed the last drop of blood of the Zhou soldiers, and then burn all the food in the granaries so that the palace army can get nothing. Of course, it is so extreme. The fate of Wang Kangxin and his Zhou soldiers can naturally be imagined.
The second article is to abandon the city and escape. The purpose of the Gongdu army outside the city is to recapture the Luochuan Road granary. They are not very interested in destroying their group of Zhou troops. As long as they abandon the city and break out of the encirclement, the Gongdu army will definitely not pursue them.
In doing so, although Wang Kangxin's head was temporarily saved, he abandoned the city and fled, which officially declared the Supervision Department's conspiracy bankrupt.
In this way, even if Wang Kangxin's uncle Wang Zhongsen is a member of the Supervision Department, it is inevitable that Wang Kangxin will be used as a scapegoat by the Supervision Department and thrown to the noble clan to appease their anger.
Therefore, Wang Kangxin knows very well that although he seems to have two paths to choose from now, in fact he only has one path. If that time comes, he can only die here, in the Luochuan Road granary!
Thinking of this, Wang Kang's confidence was filled with resentment and unwillingness...
As a military general in his early twenties who had become the commander of the seventh-grade imperial army, Wang Kangxin had always been ambitious and conceited. He believed that he would become a marquis and prime minister in the future. However, this time the changes in the palace capital only caused his rapid rise It's just a stepping stone on the road.
When planning this operation with Li Wanshun, Wang Kangxin had already expected that after they captured the Luochuan Road granary, the number of Gongdu troops besieging them would reach 8,000. Wang Kangxin also made some preparations for this.
But what Wang Kangxin never expected was that the people from Gongdu who he had always looked down on and thought were just a bunch of rabble, who would balk at any tough guy, would dare to fight him like this. After the casualties had reached 30% Under such circumstances, they still attacked the city regardless of casualties.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were still wearing the blue Gongdu military uniforms, Wang Kangxin would really have some doubts about whether these people were still the Gongdu army.
"Woo······Woo·······"
Seeing the shrill horn sound coming from the Gongdu military camp outside the city again, hundreds of Gongdu troops gathered again, and huge rocks were installed on the catapults, Wang Kangxin's eyes became firm again, and he turned around and faced Behind him, he used all his strength and roared loudly:
"Great Zhou Wansheng!"
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Although they had not fully recovered, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty on the top of the city still responded like landslides and earth shattering.
Hearing the shouts coming from the top of the city, Zhao Lianggao immediately raised his head and looked at the rebel general who was surrounded by generals in the center of the Gongdu camp.
As one of the few remaining veteran generals in the army after the civil strife in Gongdu, although Zhao Lianggao was already over 50 years old, he was still trusted by King Li Zaiyuan. He took on the post of general against rebellion and commanded the Gongdu army of 5,000 people. The Luochuan Road Granary is one of his defense areas.
