Yan's army surrounded the capital of Maru, and Deng Ai urged the craftsmen to rush to build a ladder to attack the city, which made the Goguryeo military and civilians in the city frightened.

Gongsun Xiu was not in a hurry to attack the city, and only ordered five hundred Yan soldiers to recite the proclamation under the city to shout the proclamation of the attack. They listed many of the crimes of the King of Dongchuan, from sneak attacks on Liaodong, disobeying the king's transformation, and being obscene with the noble and inferior aspects, which were basically outdated things. After all, no one in the Yan army could be as bloody as Chen Lin scolded Cao Cao.

The King of Dongchuan heard that the blue veins on his forehead were thunderous, and he wanted to order the archers to shoot the Yan army under the city to disperse. Unfortunately, everyone was prepared and retreated to a place outside the range. He did not dare to go out of the city to fight, for fear that once the city gate was opened and not too late to close again, the Yan army would chase into the city and break directly.

He endured for a long time, finally sighed, and ordered Ke Mo to leave the city for the envoy to discuss in Yan camp.

When Gongsun Xiu heard that the King of Dongchuan sent someone to the military camp to negotiate, he immediately summoned Como into the camp and smiled: "How are your kings thinking?"

When Kemo first saw the legendary King of Yan, he was a little surprised and a little scared, and asked: "Dare to ask-Dare to ask King of Yan, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose?"

Gongsun Xiu looked up at him, frowned as if he was looking at a fool, and said, "For this question, Gu said that he was just coming to Goguryeo to travel around the mountains and rivers and would go back in a few months. Do you believe it? The King of Dongchuan sneaked into Liaodong, besieged my Xiangping, and almost captured my father. If you don't take this revenge, how can you relieve your anger? Gu raised 20,000 soldiers, 40,000 people of all sizes, traveled thousands of miles, slept in the wind and waited for the sword, of course, to expel the captives."

Hearing the four words "expelling the barbarians", Kemo's face became even more ugly, and he did not dare to argue, but said: "The king spent his time and effort, and he might not be able to last for a long time after the expedition."

Gongsun Xiu said oh, frowned and said, "You are not strong enough to bully me, Yan State?"

Kemu said: "I don't have this meaning. The king knows in his heart that if others have an opportunity to take advantage of it, the safety of Yan State is also a big problem. After thousands of miles of miles, it can be said that it is the end of a powerful crossbow. The supplies from Yan State to Wandu City have also been diverted thousands of miles away. If the king does not care about his past grudges, the ministers are willing to bring wine and food to serve."

Gongsun Xiu thought that this was relying on local wars to show that his city had abundant food and grass, and he was not afraid of such a long time of consumption. On the contrary, the dietary conditions of the Yan army were very difficult, and he needed to transport food and grass from Xuantu County, the easternmost part of the Yan State. The hardships can be imagined.

"There is no need for this. Those who are honest will not receive food that comes from pity."

He refused without thinking. Although he had one stone of military ration than Yan's transport of twenty stones of military ration, it was now a negotiation between the two countries, and at this time he wanted the other party's food to be invisibly humble.

Kemo said in a deep voice: "The meaning of King Yan is that there is no room for relief?"

“There is—”

Gongsun Xiu smiled: "It was Goguryeo incorporated into the territory of our Great Yan, and the King of Dongchuan and his royal family were all beheaded. From then on, the people of Goguryeo will be the people of our Yan State. In this way, the war will end."

Ke Mo was a little angry, and it was obviously nothing to talk about. He immediately waved his sleeves and stood up and said, "Since the King of Yan wants to break the dead, there is no need to say anything more."

"Go back and tell the King of Dongchuan that if he intends to surrender, he will only bear the sin. As for you, if the city is unfortunately broken, I will spare you all."

Gongsun Xiu said in a straightforward manner: "When this city is broken, your official position will remain unchanged, but you will just change the person who is loyal to you. The so-called 'All directions are guilty, and the crime is in my hands', how can the whole people bear the disaster for him alone? It is better to go back and prepare early."

Kemo was shocked. As an envoy, he wanted to angrily scold the other party to show his national prestige. But he also thought that if Maruto Castle was really captured and all the ministers of Goguryeo became prisoners, and now they would get a talisman for avoiding death. His face immediately showed anger, and he tried hard to please him, and hurriedly slipped out of the Yan camp.

He returned to the city to repay the truth. After hearing this, the King of Dongchuan looked gloomy and said, "If you stop and suffer from chaos, you might as well fight with him."

Gao Yong said: "The ladder of Yan Thief is probably about to be built. If we leave the city to fight, we might as well seize the city and guard it, and we still have some chances of winning."

The King of Dongchuan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also knew that this was the truth. If he went out of the city to fight, it would be a real head-on battle. There was no chance to take advantage of the city gate, and he could still block the enemy from the outside. But at this time, his heart was not thinking about fighting the enemy, but looking for an opportunity to escape.

Now the whole city is in panic and is shocked a day. It is not easy to escape safely. If you teach people to find out, it will be difficult.

Gongsun Xiu thought that since the King of Dongchuan was unwilling to surrender, he would fight until he was completely victorious. This battle was completely in the use of troops, and there was no need to use surprise troops. After all, since ancient times, most of the battles of superior combat were won. The Battle of Red Cliffs, which were seeking victory in defeat, and the Battle of Feishui had specific conditions and opportunities to be promoted.

And this battle can win with an overwhelming advantage.

He suddenly thought of something, summoned Deng Zhong to his side, and whispered: "You should take these days to lead the gentry to detour the Mazishui River. Don't pick the narrowest places - build a few hidden floating bridges. I think about it these days, this siege caused panic. The King of Dongchuan may have another battle in Xiangping, abandoning the military and civilians to escape. You are ready in advance, and set up the floating bridge first, and wait for the enemy thieves to escape the other side, and you can cross the river in an instant."

Deng Zhong said "Ah": "But building a floating bridge in advance will easily be seen by the enemy. When the King of Dongchuan escapes the river bank, it will inevitably destroy the floating bridge. When the King of King leads his army to chase him, it will still be useless."

"The pontoon bridge cannot be built on the water surface. If you can build it under the water, it will be much more hidden. The water of Mazi is relatively turbid, so the pontoon bridge is built two feet under the water without revealing the water surface."

Gongsun Xiu smiled cunningly.

Deng Zhong said "Ah": "I have never heard of a floating bridge built underwater."

"This method was created by the world's most amazing weapon. Don't ask if you are busy building an underwater floating bridge. You need to use stone strips and sleepers as materials. The sleepers must be painted in other colors in advance. After the underwater floating bridge is set up, let alone the enemy patrolling the river bank, even if you stand on the other side, you will not see the existence of the underwater floating bridge."

After Gongsun Xiu finished his explanation, he also explained the detailed construction methods to Deng Zhong one by one.

Even Deng Ai had never heard of such a bridge-building method, and said strangely: "The world's number one surprise soldier? I dare to ask which dynasty the king mentioned, it is really unheard of."

Gongsun Xiu was stunned and then smiled and said, "This kind of army only appeared in the next 1,700 years later. Apart from this, there is no such legend. It is a powerful force in the world, which is powerful in foreign lands, conquered the coalition forces of the 16-nation nations, and ran for more than 180 miles in a long-distance raid battle."

Deng Ai only felt that King Yan was talking nonsense, thinking how could he know that there would be such a large army in more than a thousand years? He was already arrogant after rushing 600 miles in five days. How could he believe that there would be seven hours in the world to march nearly 200 miles?

In fact, what Gongsun Xiu said about "the world's number one surprise soldier" refers to the Volunteer Army. As a child who grew up under the Red Flag, he was familiar with that history. The Volunteer Army's 38th Army marched 72.5 kilometers in 14 hours, crossed two snow-capped mountains, and the cold wind whistled. The difficulty can be imagined.

As for the underwater pontoon bridge, it has been the pinnacle of the Volunteer Army. When crossing the Yalu River, the reconnaissance aircraft and bombers dispatched by the US military frantically destroyed the pontoon bridge built by the Volunteer Army, resulting in the inability to send supplies to the ship. Peng Min, the deputy commander of the Volunteer Railway Corps at that time, first thought of this method, using rails, stone strips, and asphalt sleepers to build a bridge underwater. After the completion of the bridge deck, forty or fifty centimeters from the water surface, the river water could not flood the exhaust pipes of the car, and could hide the bridge tightly.

As a result, the US bomber only blew up the fake pontoon bridge, and could not see the existence of the underwater pontoon bridge. Even if you were killed, you could not figure out how the supplies were transported to the Korean battlefield.

After hearing the method of setting up the underwater floating bridge, Deng Zhong quickly led 3,000 troops and marched quickly to take a detour to build the bridge in Mazi River.

On the 28th day of the siege, the siege ladders were finally built. The ladders were sized according to the height of the city. Under the rush of the Yan army, three ladders were finally built.

The cloud ladder was very dull and advanced very slowly, but it made the Goguryeo soldiers present look blue and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows, use trenchers to launch stones, and try to destroy the cloud ladder.

More than a hundred Yan soldiers dragged the ladder to approach, and another group of archers were responsible for shooting archers to suppress the firepower on the city to prevent the ladder from being destroyed.

When the cloud ladder approached the city wall, the huge barb at the end of the ladder stuck to the stone wall of the city wall, like a huge monster. The front end of the cloud ladder was a bit like a crane, which was placed at a forty-five degrees. The natural barrier became a thoroughfare, and the originally steep city pass was no longer out of reach. The Yan army soldiers held a shield in their left hand and a knife and axe in their right hand, and climbed the cloud ladder directly to the head of the Wandu city.

Seeing that the Yan army soldiers were about to capture the city, Gao Yong immediately ordered the soldiers to suppress them and shoot wildly with crossbows. The Yan army, who was trying to rush to the city, was constantly shot by feather arrows and fell down the city. However, one person fell down, and three more people followed behind. At the same time, the Yan army under the city also cooperated with the cover, and a large number of archers shot desperately at the city.
