As the so-called family knows their own affairs, Chu Wang Yuan is quite clear about the combat effectiveness of the Chu army under his command.

The 200,000 Chu army against the 150,000 Zhao army seemed to have a considerable numerical advantage.

But fighting a war is not about who has the most people and who wins.

In the past few years, the Chu army has been repeatedly defeated by the hands of the Qin army, and the Qin army has been repeatedly defeated by the hands of the Zhao army.

This time, the 150,000 Zhao troops that Lian Po brought under Chen Cheng were the elite of the elite.

How does this work? Can't fight at all.

Not to mention 200,000, even if he has 300,000 Chu troops in his hands, Chu Wang Yuan also has to think carefully about whether to face off with these 150,000 Zhao troops.

Sometimes, the disadvantage in combat effectiveness is really not something that can be solved by numerical superiority.

Of course, this is not absolute.

For example, now, after having more than 30,000 reinforcements, the available troops in the hands of Chu Wang Yuan have reached 210,000, which is a full four times that of the 50,000 Zhao troops outside the city.

Four against one, this can't be lost, right?

For this point, Shangzhu Guo Jingyang patted his chest and took care of it: "Please rest assured, if the war is unfavorable, the minister is willing to accept all the blame!" ”

Huang Xie on the side opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The state of Chu was different from other countries, and Ling Yin was both the highest political and military governor, equivalent to the aggregate of the state of Zhao and the great general.

It stands to reason that it is more common sense for Huang Xie to command this battle.

But Huang Xie chose to back down.

Looking at the mocking gaze that Jing Yang, who had taken the tiger talisman from Chu Wangyuan's hand, the corners of Huang Xie's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sneer.

Zhao Guo has dominated the world in the past few years, relying on the invincible iron army outside the city.

Even if it is a retreat, don't the people of Zhao have a plan?

Lian Po is the only general who has won a hundred battles today, could it be that he really ran away directly and gave these tens of thousands of Zhao troops to the Chu State like this? Is there such a good thing in the world?

Speaking of which, I would like to thank Li Yuan, if it weren't for his reminder, I would have almost entered the pit of Zhao Guoren.

When Ru Jingyang comes back with a disgraced face, I want to see how the three major families of Ru explain in front of the king!

This night was destined to be a very long night for the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State.

Some people can't wait, some people stand by and watch, some people have ill intentions, some people are secretly anxious, and many more want to end this exhausting war as soon as possible.

Following.

The boulders and timbers blocking the city gate were cleared, the city gate that had not been opened for two whole months was opened, and the mighty Chu army came out of the city in rows, first and then stepping, smoke and dust billowed out, covering the clouds and the sun, and the momentum was huge.

And a few miles away, although there are also groups of Zhao troops in the Zhao State camp that are assembling, it can be seen that these Zhao troops are obviously much less in number than the Chu army by the naked eye alone.

Chu Wangyuan came to the city wall in person, and after seeing this scene, his heart was settled, and he immediately smiled at the ministers around him: "Zhuqing, today we are here to watch how General Jingyang breaks the enemy!" ”

The ministers of Chu State, who followed closely by Chu Wangyuan, smiled one by one, and the sycophants drowned Chu Wangyuan like a tide, Chu Wangyuan squinted his eyes proudly, and the smile on his face was almost overflowing.

Only Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, who was following Chu Wangyuan, sighed a little strangely, and said, "These Zhao soldiers know that we have seen through their bluffs, why don't they retreat, but still want to advance to meet the enemy?" ”

As soon as Huang Xie said this, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State realized that the tens of thousands of Zhao troops who appeared from the Zhao army's camp were really coming towards Chen Cheng.

There was some silence at the head of the city.

After a long while, another minister standing beside Chu Wangyuan suddenly laughed: "Presumably, this Zhao army knows that it is useless to escape, and can only survive in death." ”

Chu Wangyuan nodded vigorously and laughed: "That's right, it's definitely so!" ”

Chen Chengcheng suddenly laughed with joy again.

Huang Xie stood there with a frown, always feeling that something was wrong in his heart.

If they really retreated, the people of Zhao could have retreated overnight, right? Why do you want to leave these tens of thousands of people to die?

Even if it is to keep someone after the break, it is almost the same to keep 20,000 or 30,000, why keep 50,000?

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

It's just that at this time, Huang Xie also knew very well in his heart that no matter what he said, he would be ignored by other people who had completely become emotional, and maybe he would have to eat a meal.

It's hard to disobey the will.

So Huang Xie simply closed his mouth and quietly waited for everything that was about to happen.

No matter what conspiracy the people of Zhao Guo have, this number of people is here, and if you die, it will make Jingyang suffer a little, so let it go.

At this moment, in the southeast of Chencheng, a force under the banner of the Chu army was also rapidly approaching, and it was the reinforcements of the Chu State that arrived.

The rumbling drums of war began to sound among the Chu army's Chinese army, and the two wings of the Chu army were like a tide towards the Zhao army.

The rumbling drums also sounded among the Zhao army on the opposite side, and the 50,000 Zhao army did not have any confusion or panic at all when facing the Chu army, which was four times larger, but came straight towards the Chu army.

A fierce battle began.

With the support of 30,000 reinforcements, the army of Chu launched a three-sided attack on the Zhao army in front of it.

But what shocked the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State above Chen Cheng was that the Zhao army still broke out with strong combat effectiveness even though it was so inferior in numbers.

The arrows shot by thousands of powerful crossbows fell like raindrops, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Chu army's forwards, and thousands of Zhao cavalry kept wandering on the edge of the battlefield, delaying the advance of the two wings of the Chu army.

On the frontal battlefield, the Chu army encountered an opponent that had only been known before, but had never fought before, armored cavalry.

A thousand armored cavalry instantly crushed the first wave of vanguard troops of the Chu army like a torrent of steel, blood and scraps of flesh flew in the air, the sharp tips of the spears reflected dazzling light in the sun, and the screams of the Chu soldiers could even be heard clearly at the head of Chen Chengcheng, which was miles away.

The Chu army obviously lacked experience in dealing with this armored cavalry, and after three waves of heavy defeats, it finally discovered the weakness of the armored cavalry that could only rush all the way forward, and began to plan to outflank and encircle this heavy armored cavalry.

However, this tactic had already begun to go bankrupt before it could be implemented, because when the Chu people thought they had found the shortcomings of the armored cavalry, this cavalry no longer appeared.

The biggest drawback of the heavy cavalry was staying power, and three successive waves of charges had exhausted all the horse's stamina, and they had to wait for a reply.

But of course, Jing Yang, the commander of the Chu army, could not know this, and he felt that he was being teased, and he was furious, and sent a large number of main forces to attack the central army of Zhao State, intending to come to a center to blossom.

The battle came to the most tragic moment, countless infantry on both sides collided fiercely like a tide, dozens or hundreds of soldiers lost their lives in this battle every moment, and human life was as humble as ants at this moment, even inferior to ants.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State above the city watched this big battle, and they were all dizzy.

Only 50,000 Zhao troops, when facing an enemy several times their size, fought so tenaciously and tenaciously.

Chu Wangyuan was extremely fortunate at this moment, if he really insisted on fighting against Lian Po's 150,000 Zhao army before, then there would be no other way but a big defeat and loss.

Fortunately, there were only 50,000 Chu troops in front of them, no matter how brave the armored cavalry was, how the soldiers of the Zhao army fought to the death, after paying far more casualties than the Zhao army, the Chu army, which had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, still slowly seized the initiative on the battlefield, and began to turn this initiative into victory.

Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The overall situation has been decided, and there should be no other waves churning.

Huang Xie suddenly found that he was already sweating and heavy at some point, and when he looked up, he found that the sun had actually begun to slide down from the highest point in the sky.

The battle lasted nearly three hours, from morning to afternoon.

At this moment, Huang Xie's heart was both happy and a little unhappy, happy because the Chu State was about to win, and unhappy because this time the great achievement was about to be snatched away by his sworn enemy Jingyang.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State who stood with Huang Xie were all relieved, and they celebrated one by one, and the city was full of celebrations and sycophants for a while.

However, at this moment, the rumbling of war drums was suddenly heard in the distance.

On the plains in the north, countless smoke and dust rose up, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were coming towards the battlefield.

Chu Wangyuan's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Even though the smoke and dust are all over the sky, the bright red in the smoke and dust, the red flag flying high in the smoke and dust, is still extremely dazzling for Chu Wangyuan at this moment!

Lian Po did not leave.

Lian Po is back.

After a half-day rapid march, the 100,000 Zhao army that had gone and returned launched an attack on the Chu army, which had been fighting fiercely for a long time, with lightning speed.

The army of Chu, whose physical strength and willpower had reached the limit, were completely unable to resist the crazy counterattack of the Zhao army, and they were suddenly defeated.

In just two quarters of an hour, the 200,000 Chu army retreated, and countless defeated soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.

Behind these defeated soldiers, groups of Zhao soldiers were like tigers entering the flock, brandishing their blades while chasing and driving them towards Chen Cheng.

Seeing that the situation was not good, many Chu soldiers simply threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground with their whole bodies, and became prisoners with fear and trembling.

There was a dead silence above the head of Chen Chengcheng, and hundreds of Chu monarchs and ministers stood there like clay statues, all of them pale, completely unable to believe what they had seen.

Chu Wangyuan trembled all over, almost fainted, raised his hand and trembled and wanted to say something, but suddenly stumbled and fell directly to the ground.

Huang Xie, who was standing next to Chu Wangyuan, quickly helped Chu Wangyuan: "Is the king okay?" ”

"Widow, widow......" Chu Wangyuan's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Huang Xie knew that the situation was urgent at the moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, Chen Cheng is about to be lost, quickly escort the king to evacuate here!" ”
