Chapter 126: The Prince's Victory
On the tenth day, Chen Huai looked at the Wei army that was retreating in a hurry and disorderly with the golden body, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he knew that his only chance to win had come.
On the eleventh day, the sky was clear, and I don't know if the heavens wanted to appreciate the siege battle, and it didn't rain for more than 20 days.
The Wei army continued its vast and soft attack, but there was no way, the continuous onslaught had already exhausted its strength.
Of course, the defenders were also tired, so they had to fight desperately, and there was a danger that the city would be broken at any time, but fortunately, it was still difficult to defend it.
Dusk is approaching, and it is also the time when the Wei army is about to withdraw every day, the eldest prince gathers the two thousand sharp soldiers he has reserved in the city to practice martial arts, and stands in front of him on a war horse, with a solemn face and an extraordinary appearance.
He swept the faces of the sharp soldiers, did not see the fear, nodded with satisfaction, suddenly pointed at the sky, and said loudly: "Many people think that I don't let you participate in the war because I am afraid of death, and I will abandon the city and flee when I can't do anything, but let you recharge your energy and protect me when the time comes." ”
After Chen Huai finished speaking, he looked around, took in everyone's expressions, and then continued: "But I want to tell you today that this prince has never thought of escaping, nor does he want to lose, that's right, this prince wants to win, wants to break the enemy, and the enemy is broken today." ”
"Are you willing to follow this prince to break the enemy army and build an immortal feat?"
"The last general is willing to die and is willing to follow the prince to the death."
"I am willing to die and swear to follow the eldest prince to the death."
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ……”
A sound shook the sky.
……
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
……
The sound of gold sounded, the Wei army retreated like a tide, the array has long been without the rigor of the past, it can be said that it is disorderly, the armor is stained with blood, the soldiers are also weak and weak, and the sickness is like a defeated army, of course, several times the enemy, and it seems that it is no different from the defeated army if it is not overcome for a long time.
Just when they thought that they could end the day's journey as in the past and return to the big tent to rest, the eastern, northern, and western gates of Luzhou City were opened, and under their suspicious gaze, the Chu army's iron cavalry rushed out, like a fierce beast out of the cage, although it was not as overwhelming as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but it also carried a breathtaking momentum and murderous aura.
Their minds were naturally temporarily deterred by the might of the Chu army, and the Chu army quickly approached when the Wei army was stunned, and when the Wei army came back to its senses, the Chu army was already close at hand, such a short distance, a moment away, where did the Wei army have time to form a formation to resist and prepare for battle?
In fact, it was precisely like this, no matter how loud and desperate the shouts of the generals were to no avail, the Chu army in three directions rushed into the flock of sheep like a tiger, rushed into the Wei army, and carried out a one-sided slaughter while further disrupting the Wei army.
Especially the road led by the eldest prince Chen Huai personally, because of its courage in the front, the power is incomparable, like the god of war possessed, unstoppable, the soldiers see that the lord will be so powerful, and it is also the respect of the prince, the body of the daughter regardless of the safety of his own body to fight in front, the morale is naturally high, and the Wei army is like wheat.
Although there were many determined people in the Wei army, they were not willing to be defeated by the Chu army, and then resisted desperately, but the opportunity was lost, even if they fought with their lives, they could not stop the pace of the Chu army and stop the decline.
The fighter plane is fleeting, and I have to say that Chen Huai does have the talent to command the troops, and his grasp and planning of the fighter plane have his own uniqueness.
If there is a hint of eagerness and an early attack, it is likely that the battle will be evenly matched, after all, the enemy army is numerous, and if it is prepared, even if it is weak, it can rely on a huge numerical advantage to stop the decline.
If it is a late attack, the distance is too far, and the Wei army has enough time to react.
If the attack had been made a few days earlier due to the danger of the city, the Wei army would not have been so tired and prepared, and the offensive of the Chu army would not have been so smooth.
And if it is a few days later, then the city may be really difficult to lose, after all, today is also the defenders desperately defending Luzhou City, dragging on, no one knows when Luzhou City will be conquered, and then he will really have to break through with these two thousand sharp soldiers.
This is by no means what Chen Huai wants to see, what he wants is not only to protect the city, but also to win, and even win.
After all, there is already a person in Xiangzhou who is younger than him, and he has achieved a great victory that shook the world, and he is famous. And he is in addition to the status of a prince......
There is nothing else to know to outsiders, how can he be as arrogant as he is?
When the two thousand sharp soldiers slaughtered the Wei army in all directions, the defenders and people on the city wall also fought out of the city under the leadership of the generals, although they were tired, although they were wounded, at this moment they saw the hope of life, and the desire for victory made them burst out to the last potential, swinging their swords to deal a fatal blow to those Wei troops who were wounded or scattered.
In this battle, the Wei army was sleepy and lacked, and the opportunity had been lost, so there would naturally be no surprises in the ending, and it ended with a great victory for the Chu army.
However, after all, the Wei army had a large number of people, although the battle was frustrated, but only lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and still had the strength to fight again, so the Wei army retreated fifty miles to rest, and was not in the siege of the city.
Moreover, the Wei army also had an army of no less than 200,000 people in ambush not far away, and it was easy to take Luzhou City, but the purpose of Fuguang was not a Luzhou City, even if Luzhou City was an important town in the north of the Chu State. But compared with the elite of the more than 200,000 Chu troops led by Zhao Zhe, it is insignificant.
If the city is lost, it can still be recaptured, and if the soldiers and horses are gone, it is not something that can be replenished in a short time, and it is still elite.
That's right, the purpose of Fu Guangbing's siege of Luzhou City was not for this small city and the land of this state, but to ambush the reinforcements who rescued Luzhou City.
As far as Fu Guang knows, it is the prince of Chu who guards Luzhou City, the body of Jin Gui, if there is a danger, can Zhao Zhe still ignore it? He will lead a large army to the rescue, and he only needs to find a good place to set up an ambush.
But it backfired, Luzhou City was trapped for more than 20 days and did not see Zhao Zhe lead the army to rescue, which made Fu Guang faintly uneasy, it stands to reason that the prince is in danger, even if he knows that there are many difficulties and dangers, it is impossible to ignore it, after all, if something happens to the prince, as the commander of the army, he will not escape the blame.
Could it be that he didn't get the message? It's impossible, it's been so long, if you don't receive the news, Fu Guang will definitely not believe it.
Knowing that the prince is trapped and has a place of life, he doesn't care about it, what is he planning?
Just when Fu Guang was worried about guessing Zhao Zhe's intentions, a herald soldier reported the news of the defeat outside Luzhou City to Fu Guang, and Fu Guang was angry and scolded the person who commanded the army.
But then came worse news.
