Yingdu.

"Wancheng urgent, Wancheng urgent!!"

Although it was late at night, after receiving an urgent report from Wancheng, the commander of the palace guards also had to rush to Xiong Huai's dormitory to call Xiong Huai up.

What the commander didn't expect was that Xiong Huai didn't sleep, but sat on the bed in a daze, and the maids on the left and right were holding a bowl of ginger soup and didn't dare to move.

Xiong Huai didn't sleep all night, the reason was that he was very uncomfortable today, and his heart was beating all the time, as if he had something on his mind, but he couldn't say what it was.

"Get it quickly!" Xiong Huai shouted to the commander outside.

A moment later, the Commander walked in and handed the emergency to Xiong Huai.

There are only a few numbers above the emergency report - Qin Yu Lijian and Sima Cuo joined forces, 100,000 troops have crossed the Tang River, and Wancheng is in danger.

Nima! …… Xiong Huai is really afraid of something. A few days ago, when Zhaoyang said that the Qin army had signs of crossing the river, Xiong Huai was a little panicked, and then the Qin army did not move for a long time, which made Xiong Huai relax his vigilance.

Xiong Huai understood what the concept of 100,000 people in the Qin State crossing the Tang River was, which meant that Zhaoyang's Funiu Mountain-Tang River defense line had become chicken ribs, and the three-point defense line of Wuguan, Wancheng, and Fangcheng was isolated by the Qin army, and the Qin army could break through them one by one......

"Xuan, Qu Yuan, Jingyang enters the palace!" Xiong Huai stood up and hurried to the palace to the right of the dormitory.

A moment later, Jingyang and Qu Yuan walked towards the palace where Xiong Huai was located with hurried steps.

"The king summoned me to the palace late at night, I'm afraid there will be some variables on the other side of Wancheng." Jingyang already had a premonition that something was wrong.

Qu Yuan nodded, agreed, and said, "It is very likely that the battle situation will deteriorate further, and Wancheng is in danger!" ”

As they spoke, the two walked in front of Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai directly threw the urgent report from Wancheng in front of Jingyang and said, "Let's take a look." ”

Jingyang picked up the emergency report, unfolded it, and after reading it, the expression on his face changed from doubt to panic.

Similarly, Qu Yuan's expression also became panicked.

"If that's the case, won't the situation in Wancheng become a dead end?" Qu Yuan looked at the gloomy Xiong Huai above.

Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "The death situation is still uncertain, Jingyang, the 250,000 army, is it in place?" ”

Jingyang shook his head and said, "Zhaoguan, Yubelly and other places have not yet arrived in Yingdu, at present, Yingdu only has 100,000 new troops and 20,000 Praetorian Guards..."

"Where's the grain and grass?" Xiong Huai moved his gaze to Qu Yuan again.

Qu Yuan also shook his head and said: "In the battle of Hezong, my Chu State suffered heavy losses, and I didn't harvest grain and grass last year, according to the current grain and grass reserves in Yingdu, less than 200,000 troops consumed twenty days. ”

"Damn..."Xiong Huai cursed secretly.

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and Xiong Huai is helpless...... Unlike the princes who were not united in the same alliance at the beginning, this time, Xiong Huai faced the Qin State......

It's too much pressure...

Even if Zhaoyang has the ability to reach the sky, Xiong Huai does not believe that he will defend Wancheng under the pressure of Sima Cuo's 200,000 army.

After all, Zhaoyang only had less than 60,000 soldiers in his hands......

Moreover, after the disease in the valley, Zhaoyang will definitely be cut off, according to the grain and grass stored in Wancheng, I am afraid that it will not be able to supply Zhaoyang for ten days...

Under the pressure of Qin Guo's combination punch, Xiong Huai felt powerless for the first time, he wanted to do something, but it seemed that he couldn't do anything now.

The blind self-confidence of himself and the Chu State as a whole, the contempt for the Qin State, and the strategic miscalculations again and again put the situation in Wancheng into a desperate situation.

At this time, Xiong Huai realized that the ancients were not stupid, not as stupid as written in some novels... Nor is he a god......

With a long sigh, Xiong Huai stood up, looked at Jingyang with blazing eyes, and then looked at Qu Yuan, and said: "Wancheng is the root of life for my Chu State, and it must not be lost, and the armor of hundreds of thousands of troops of my Chu State is still provided by Wancheng. The widow wants to conquer Wancheng in person! ”

"Pro-conscription?" The two looked at Xiong Huai in surprise.

"No, now that the new law has just been implemented, although the surface of the national capital is calm, in fact, the dark tide is surging, if the king does not sit in Yingdu, I am afraid there will be some chaos!" Qu Yuan immediately stood up against it.

Jingyang also stood up and said: "What Changshi said is reasonable, besides, our army is less than 30% sure of winning this battle, and the king will conquer it himself." It's dangerous! ”

Xiong Huai also looked at it and said, "When the widow stepped on the beam, didn't he have no chance of winning?" ”

After saying that, he returned to the dormitory. Leaving Jingyang and Qu Yuan behind.

"The king has such a violent personality, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."

An hour later, the Yingdu military camp, 120,000 troops gathered in the school field, although it was night, but it did not disturb them to look at the Xiong Huai on the platform.

For them, Xiong Huai is a god-like existence, simply the king of Chuzhuang is alive......

Xiong Huai looked at the soldiers in the night, stood in the cold wind for a long time, and said, "Go out!" ”

The 120,000-strong army began to march north, Xiong Huai stepped down from the platform, boarded the chariot, and followed the army to the north under the escort of hundreds of Janissaries.

Jingyang stayed in Yingdu, preparing to receive 130,000 people from Zhaoguan Yubei as the second echelon to the north.

Wancheng.

The cool cold wind swept across the faces of the marching Chu army and hit Zhaoyang in the face of the wind.

A drop of water fell from the sky and dripped on Zhaoyang's sword-holding hand.

"It's going to rain," Zhaoyang muttered.

Suddenly, a flash of brilliance flashed in Zhaoyang's eyes, "It's going to rain!" ”

Bang, boom, boom...... As soon as Zhaoyang's words fell, a heavy downpour poured down, and the rain washed over the old general's armor and body.

The veteran general also showed his first smile since the start of the war in Wancheng.

"God help me!" Zhaoyang said excitedly.

Zhao Chang and some lieutenants next to him were stunned, was this general crazy because of the erosive situation in front of him? …… It was raining heavily, making it more difficult for the Chu army to return to Shiwancheng, and this is still "God help me"?

Just as Zhaoyang was shouting for heaven to help me, a soldier rushed over and said, "Sima Miscommand 100,000 Qin troops have begun to move south, and they are less than a hundred miles away from our army. And the department of the Zhuli Disease Department also went north from Wancheng, less than one hundred and fifty miles away from our army. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Zhaoyang applauded again and again.

"General......... Are you alright?" Zhao Chang came up and asked stubbornly......

Zhaoyang Zhaochang is very skeptical that Zhaoyang is a normal person... The 200,000 troops of the Qin State made a dumpling for him, and the destruction of more than 50,000 people is imminent, are you applauding here?

Zhaoyang's smile became even more presumptuous when he heard this, and he said: "Sima Cuo and Zhu Li Disease have been disconnected, this is what I am waiting for!" ”
