Chapter 835: Jinling
The big tent of the Tang Army is brightly lit.
Li Yu looked at the ministers and said, "In today's battle, we defeated Chu Yu's overlord army, but Bazhong City was not captured, next, should we continue to attack Bazhong City, or do we make other plans, do you Aiqing have any suggestions?" ”
After asking this question, Xu Mao said fairly, "Shengshang, now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Bazhong City, and our army is only a little more than 40,000. ”
They not only have to capture Bazhong City, but also capture Jiangcheng, at this time, if the soldiers and horses are seriously damaged, it will be difficult to deal with the next thing. After Xu Maogong finished speaking, Li Jing also nodded and said, "Shengshang, what Lord Xu said makes sense, it is not appropriate to continue to attack the city at this time, we have two choices, first, send people to the Tang State to recruit troops, and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the second road, and then there is, wait for the situation on the side of the Han State, as long as the Han State breaks through the city and approaches Jiangcheng, Chu Yu's side, but he does not dare to continue to hold on, he can only retreat to Jiangcheng, at that time, we have to capture Bazhong City, but it will be much easier." ”
Li Jing's method is naturally very good, after all, the most important thing for them now is to preserve their strength and fight to the death with the Chu State in Jiangcheng, if they consume too much here, it will not be a beneficial thing for them.
And they won a big battle today, and the Han State cannot say that they Tang State did not contribute.
After Li Yu listened to the words of the two of them, he nodded, "It makes sense, since this is the case, then don't attack the city for the time being, send people to the Tang Kingdom again, and add some soldiers and horses." After Li Yu gave this order, Chen Ping stood up and said, "Holy Lord, General Li's method is indeed possible, but the minister thinks that there are more things that can be done, for example, to spread the news of the defeat of the Chu army in Chu as much as possible in Chu and disturb the hearts of the people of Chu, so maybe there can be some."
Unexpected effects. ”
Li Yu nodded, "What Chen Aiqing said also makes sense, since this is the case, then let's do it, and also, we can't let Chu Yu hide too safely in Bazhong City, take out our hot air balloon, and send someone to burn Chu Yu's place of residence and his army camp every day." ”
"Whoa!"
After Li Yu gave such an order, someone immediately began to do it.
First, someone quietly infiltrated the Chu State and spread the news of the defeat of the Chu State.
The people of Chu were shocked and at the same time very disappointed when they heard that their emperor of Chu had been defeated again.
"Defeated again, defeated again, is Tang really so powerful?"
"Who said no, our Chu overlord has never been defeated before, but after encountering the Tang State, he was defeated one after another, is our Chu State really going to die?"
"Alas, sad man, it is ...... like this"
The people were very disappointed, and at the same time, a remark gradually spread in the Chu State, that is, the Chu State was going to die.
No one knows how this remark spread, but it spread so suddenly that many people thought that the state of Chu was really going to die.
And when this remark spread, the people of Chu began to panic.
If the state of Chu is destroyed, they will be slaves of the country, what will the days after this be like?
In addition to these, the people of some small countries that were destroyed by the Chu State in the past began to move again.
Chu Yu killed the enemy before, it was a little crazy, for the destroyed small country, the capital was plundered and slaughtered, so many people hated Chu Yu a little, now that Chu Yu was defeated, and there was a statement that Chu was going to die, they naturally wanted revenge.
All parts of the Chu State gradually became unstable.
And at this time, in Bazhong City, the barracks suddenly caught fire, although the grain and grass were not burned, but the fire was not small, and it also made the soldiers of the barracks chaotic for a while.
In the big tent, a soldier hurriedly came to report.
"Holy Lord, the Tang Army is so hateful, they have something called a hot air balloon, which can carry soldiers into the air, and it can be very high, after they fly into the air, they shoot arrows at our barracks, and it is rockets, and our barracks are on fire......"
The soldier said a little indignant, after Chu Yu heard this, his eyebrows were solemn, Tang Guo harassed them like this, obviously wanted to provoke him Chu Yu, and then force them out of the city to fight.
It's just a battle out of the city, they no longer have an advantage, and I'm afraid they won't be able to win against the Tang army.
Chu Yu's expression became very ugly, Xiang Bo was beside him, and said, "Holy Lord, don't fall for the Tang army's plan, the Tang army is just burning the camp, let's just ask my soldiers to prepare some more water." ”
was bullied by Tang Jun, but he could only endure it, Chu Yu had never been so aggrieved as he was now, but he had no other better way.
"Damn, damn it......" Chu Yu scolded, but there was no other better way.
After scolding like this for a long time, he asked, "What's going on over there with Yingbu?" ”
If Yingbu repelled the Han army, he could draw troops here and fight the Tang family again.
Of course, at this time, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangcheng of Chu State, but those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are Gongwei Jingshi, so they don't dare to come out casually, otherwise the capital will be breached, then he won't even have a base camp, which is basically equivalent to being destroyed.
"Holy Lord, General Yingbu is there, I'm afraid the situation is not very good."
"What's going on?" In Chu Yu's opinion, Yingbu has the idea of revenge, and he has already told him that he only needs to guard the city, and it stands to reason that there will not be too many problems.
Xiang Bo smiled bitterly, "General Yingbu was anxious for revenge, and was slightly provoked by Han Xin, so he went out of the city and fought with the Han army, then Han Xin's art of war did not expect to be so powerful, and the strength of the Han army was also strong, and even, they also had the Tang knife of the Tang State, and our Chu army was defeated." ”
Hearing that the Han Kingdom actually had the Tang Dao of the Tang Kingdom, Chu Yu's face suddenly condensed, the Tang Dao of the Tang Kingdom, he had seen it, to be honest, if the Tang Kingdom did not have the Tang Dao, his overlord army was really not afraid of the Tiger and Wolf Army of the Tang Kingdom.
"Han Guo even has a Tang sword?" Chu Yu felt that their Empress Dowager realized that she had let Tang Guo sell the Tang Dao to the Han State without knowing it, so that the strength of the Han State had increased greatly, how could they still be the opponents of the Han State?
Now, both sides have lost the battle, and in the days to come, I am afraid that they can only hold on.
"Abominable ......"
On the side of the Chu State, because of successive defeats, they can only hold on, and as long as they defend the city, whether it is the Tang army or the Han soldiers, it is not too possible to easily break through the defense line.
All of a sudden, the fighting came to a standstill. And at this time, Wei had already begun a war against Chen, Su Jiajun did not hesitate and sent troops to assist Chen, and Du Ruhui finally came to Jinling, the capital of Ming.
