Wang Ying looked at the high city, gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine! Let grandpa go back and take a rest, and then we can flatten this bird city!"

Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang led the troops to retreat.

After a while, the soldiers on the city slowly stood up and looked down.

The siege troops had already retreated, leaving only a cavalry unit facing here in the distance.

After Liu Yuanhui asked Wang Ying to lead his troops back to the camp, he looked at the steel fortress in front of him for a while, and then took out the military information book:

"Shezhou City is five feet high and the wall is two feet thick. It was built in the Jin Dynasty and has been an important town since ancient times. After Fangla occupied it, he poured molten iron to build the city wall with iron nail barbs. The moat under the city wall was more than three feet wide.

The 30,000 defenders are all elite rebels. The defender is Shi Bao, Fang La's first general. He is brave and resourceful, has great martial arts skills and is born with supernatural powers. I was almost caught by him when I came to spy.

In short, Shezhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is recommended to surround it without attacking, trap it to death, or abandon it. "

Liu Yuanhui suddenly realized it after reading it.

No wonder Gao Qiu ordered the army to attack in turns. It turned out that the purpose was to let the Ganzhou City defenders consume the army's strength, and then buy time to give Fang La a chance to breathe!

In this way, in addition to destroying Liangshan, he can also take "pocket money" from Fang La for a long time. It is insidious and shameless enough...

After returning to the camp, Liu Yuanhui called Chai Jin to report the battle losses.

"Commander, since Xiuzhou sent troops, 17 generals have been killed, more than 27,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 missing, and seriously injured..."

"Master Chai, tell me how many soldiers there are who can still fight!"

"Three... around thirty thousand..."

"Thirty thousand people... The defenders of Shezhou are sitting high and waiting for work. They have taken advantage of the geographical advantage. There are more than 30,000 people. In comparison with such numbers, you are actually still attacking the city!"

"Commander Liu, he's gone crazy. No matter how carefully we discuss our siege plan, the rebels are like they have ears! They can still hear us!"

"I already know about this matter, and I have my own sense of discretion. Do you have any other questions?"

"There are too many injuries. The miracle doctor An Daoquan comes to me every day and asks me to hire some doctors to help. He also says that medicines are in short supply. But where can I find doctors and herbal medicines in such a chaotic situation?"

"Why don't you ask for help from the imperial court? You are already the imperial army!"

"Isn't it that Gao Qiu didn't allow it? He said that the emperor has many things to do and has no time to take care of these trivial matters. Let us solve it by ourselves without disturbing the emperor. If Brother Song hadn't stopped me, I would have killed that birdman!"

"I'll take care of the doctor's matters. How many injured are there now?"

"Yesterday An Daoquan told me that there were more than 9,000, and today I'm afraid it's already tens of thousands. In the whole army, An Daoquan is the only one who knows medical skills, and he has no other skills. Every day, there are wounded who die because they are too late to treat!"

"Okay! I understand! I will write to the emperor for help right away! Chai Daguan, please go back and rest quickly. Oh, by the way, please call brother Shi Qian and Shi Ying to come to me."

"Chai Jin takes the order!"

After Chai Jin went out, Liu Yuanhui came to the case and began to write a letter to Song Huizong:

"Old Zhao! I can't stand you so well. I'm so mean to you. I'll help you put down the rebellion. You won't pay a penny, even if you just write a letter to say hello! That's all. I'll help you suppress the rebellion. You sent Gao Qiu here, what's the matter? Can't you trust me? But I understand you. After all, you are the emperor, so you can be a little defensive. There are too many wounded soldiers in the army, and we are in urgent need of doctors and medicines. You can send medical officers over quickly. Come as many as you want. We're bringing a few carts of medicine. If you don't send it, give me back the money I lent you to repair Genyue. If you don't give it back, I'll write your visit to the brothel into a drama and perform it every day on the main street of Bianliang. ! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor! Yours sincerely, Yuan Hui!"

After writing, Liu Yuanhui slapped the pen on the table, blew on the letter paper, then tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and put it out.

Just as the dove flew away, time came.

"Shi Qian pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"

"Brother Shi, there is no need to be polite! Huh? Where is brother Shi Ying?"

"gone."

Liu Yuanhui was shocked: "Brother Shi Ying also died in the battle?"

"Dashuai Liu, you misunderstood. My brother felt that the army was really boring. He should have gone to a prison in some state capital to rest. Hey! He has such virtues, so don't pay attention to him! Daishuai Liu summoned his subordinates to come here." Any orders?"

"Do you know where Gao Qiu lives?"

"The largest apricot-yellow tent in the east is Gao Qiu's residence. What's wrong? You want me to 'fetch' some good things for you? I'm really sorry. During this time, the treasures Gao Qiu brought have been used by our brothers. The two have been 'taken'!"

"Oh, you brothers are really heroes in the army. You never forget to practice your skills when fighting. Yuan Hui admires you!"

"Isn't this just boring to pass the time? Hahaha!"

"Well done! But I didn't ask you to do this. From tonight on, you will observe Gao Qiu's movements every day and pay attention to whether he releases some pigeons, parrots, crows or other flying birds after he returns to the camp. , if you catch them, bring them to me! Don’t bake them and eat them!"

"Shi Qian takes the order! I've been sleeping on the top of Gao Qiu's tent these days!"

"Remember! Don't mention this to anyone except you and me!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Just after midnight that night, Gao Qiu lit a candle in the dark tent.

The tent had been stolen by the Shi Qian brothers and was extremely shabby. Apart from the bed, only tables and chairs were left. It was a standard house with only four walls.

When he first started throwing things away, he would yell at his mother in the tent every day when he got up, but now, Captain Gao is relieved.

Anyway, no matter how much you guard or scold, you will eventually lose everything that should be thrown away.

He came to the case, picked up a pen and wrote on a note: "The officers and soldiers camped thirty miles north of Shezhou City to reorganize the army. The morale in the camp is low, there are countless casualties, and there are less than 30,000 people who can move. Every day, people and horses are exhausted. This is the best time to attack the camp! Shezhou City can send troops to attack tomorrow at the ugly time! In addition, Liu Yuanhui has led 3,000 cavalry back to the camp, so be careful!"

After a while, Gao Qiu threw the brown-bodied red-capped sparrow carrying the letter out of the tent.

Shi Qian, who was lying on the tent to rest, heard the sound of the sparrow's flapping wings. Without opening his eyes, he threw out a pocket iron claw tied with a wire and caught Gao Qiu's sparrow in one fell swoop.

Shi Qian slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Gao Qiu is indeed sending a message. I thought it was a pigeon, but I didn't expect it to be a little sparrow! Hehe!"

Shi Qian jumped off the top of Gao Qiu's tent with a somersault, and in a moment the sparrow was delivered to Liu Yuanhui's hand.

"Brother Shi Qian is awesome! Go back to Gao Qiu's tent and sleep! It's late at night and you can go down again to see if there are any good things from Captain Gao! Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha Shi Qian takes the order!"

Liu Yuanhui opened Gao Qiu's letter and said to himself after reading it: "Gao Qiu is such a bastard!"

He immediately wrote a new letter according to Gao Qiu's handwriting, but changed some details - the north of Shezhou City was changed to the east of Shezhou City, and the content that Liu Yuanhui had returned to camp was also removed.

Looking at his masterpiece, Liu Yuanhui sighed: "With my copying techniques, I can sell fake calligraphy!"

Then he put the fake creed into the small bamboo tube behind the sparrow and sent it out.
