Half a month later, the Chu army crossed the Yangtze River, crossed the Fengchu border, and began to use troops against the Fengguo.

This time, in order to force Lu Chen to withdraw his troops from Qingdi, the king of Chu made a bloody investment, almost raised the whole country's troops, and even ordered Wang Shuang to break through Lingnan at all costs!

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao.

The news soon reached Lu Chen, and after learning that the Chu army was attacking the wind, the Chinese army's tent suddenly exploded.

Zhao Chuan said angrily: "The little thief of the King of Chu, I don't want to think about who helped him regain the throne in the first place, and at such a critical juncture, he dared to use troops against our country!" ”

Qingyang said: "Chu State is two-faced and three-sworded, and said that it would remain neutral, but now it is backtracking, it is looking for a fight!" ”

All the generals were angry, and Sima Wen said: "The Chu army participated in the war, presumably, this was expected by the king a long time ago, right?" ”

"That's right." Lu Chen said directly: "The truth of the cold lips and teeth, the king of Chu still understands, joining the weak to resist the strong, and checking and balancing left and right has always been the national policy of the Chu State, which is not unexpected." ”

Sima Wen nodded and began to analyze for Lu Chen: "Right now, due to the Honghu Dam, although my country can't go south for the time being, if we withdraw troops from Qingdi to help, then this battle of Qingdi will end without a problem, Qingguo is a big country, once the king can't crush it to death in one breath, then it will come back from the dead." ”

"You're right, this king is also thinking about this." Lu Chen said.

Liu Yuan said: "But this time, the state of Chu will raise three armies and storm Lingnan, and Lingnan only has more than 100,000 horses and horses of General Ai Hu. ”

After the two finished speaking, Chen Qun also stood up and said: "This is a dilemma, the purpose of the Chu State is obvious, and if the king withdraws his troops, it will be equivalent to this war in vain, and the world will return to the previous state of the Three Kingdoms." ”

The situation was obvious, the transportation at that time was not developed, and the march completely relied on the two legs of the soldiers, and Yanzhou, which was thousands of miles away from Fengzhou, and if you wanted to attack Chu State, you would have to march for more than a month just to withdraw from Qingdi to the Chu battlefield.

Once Lu Chen does this, the purpose of the King of Chu will be achieved, what he wants is for Lu Chen to return to the army, after receiving the news, the Chu army will also retreat urgently, and then fortify along the river, then Lu Chen will form an embarrassing situation of fighting in the east and fighting in the west, and as a result, neither side will be captured.

Even if the Feng army turns to attack Chu and can cross the Yangtze River, then when the Chu State is about to fall, the Qing State will obviously not stand idly by.

Therefore, in order to dominate the world, Lu Chen must overcome all difficulties and destroy a country in one go, otherwise, he will never be able to open this situation!

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and immediately said: "This king will never withdraw his troops!" Two months later, continue to wave south! Hit directly to Qingdu! ”

"But ......" Liu Yuan stammered: "But the king, Fengzhou is the lifeblood of our country, and the queen and other ladies are ...... It's all in the capital, and there are princes and princesses, if Lingnan is broken by the Chu army, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart suddenly shrank, but soon, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say it again!" The king has made up his mind! ”

"This ...... Can the Pingzhou army outside Hanyu Pass gallop to help Lingnan. Liu Yuan said again.

"No! There are 200,000 Zhongli troops in Hanyu Pass, and the Pingzhou army must be contained outside the pass, once evacuated, Zhongli will inevitably wait for the opportunity to move, but attack the hinterland of our country! At that point, the situation will be even more complicated! Lu Chen directly rejected his opinion, and then pointed to Tang Mandao:

"Immediately send an order to Ai Hu! Let him die even if he dies, and he will die in Lingnan! ”

"No!" Tang Man clenched his fists and left.

Lu Chen decided not to withdraw his troops, and two months later, he continued to wave his army south, intending to crush Qingguo in one go, in terms of time, as long as the Feng Kingdom can hold the Chu army and drag it until Lu Chen defeats Qingguo, then this battle will be won!

And this decision undoubtedly requires a lot of determination!

His royal decree also quickly reached Ai Hu.

At this time, Ai Hu was shrinking the defense line and concentrating all his forces on the Lingnan city defense, because the Chu army's strength was several times that of his own, and if he fought a decisive battle in the plains, the odds of victory were too low.

In the meeting hall, Ai Hu sat on the handsome case, and seeing that he had read the king's biography, all the generals couldn't help but look at him without blinking, and his deputy general couldn't help but ask: "General, the king has already transferred reinforcements?" ”

Ai Hu put down the edict, glanced at the deputy general, and said, "No, reinforcements, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

"What!?" When the generals heard this, they were all shocked, and the adjutant general said urgently: "General! Now the Chu army has gathered 600,000 people, and the troops have come to the city, although our army is guarding the city pass, but there are only more than 100,000 people, I am afraid that it will not last long, such a critical situation, how can the king not send reinforcements. ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Ai Hu didn't have any extra nonsense, he stood up directly, and said in a loud voice: "Pass the order!" The whole army fights to the death! All generals, including the commander, must personally go to the city defense and command the battle! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will not be forgiven! ”

His words were categorical, and when the generals heard this, they immediately shook their bodies and said in unison: "Order!" ”

The next day, the 600,000 Chu army began its first attack on Lingnan.

Because of the order of the king of Chu, Wang Shuang this time was not a fight and retreat, but a real onslaught!

One after another, the stone throwers were pushed out and began to load stone bullets to strike indiscriminately at the Lingnan city defense.

A deafening 'boom' sound sounded from time to time, and the wind army at the head of the city had no choice but to find cover temporarily.

Fortunately, Lu Chen pays attention to military affairs, and after he became king, the border cities of the Wind Country are tall and solid, and they are by no means easy to destroy by a stone thrower.

After striking at the city pass, Wang Shuang also unsheathed his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "Siege!" ”

With his order, the war drums of the Chu army camp thundered, and outside the city pass, the dust was flying, and the overwhelming Chu army was like a tide, surging madly towards the city pass.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ai Hu waved his big hand, and the wind army at the head of the city suddenly poked out his head and shot downward, shooting arrows in unison.

The arrows rained down, and they knocked over a lot of Chu troops in an instant, and at the same time, the Chu army also launched a return shot.

Many wind troops, starting in pairs, lifted boulders and threw them down, and the miserable howls suddenly rang out.

"Hey! Hey—" After a while, the siege engine was also pushed to the city gate and began to ram violently against the tall city gate.

Ladders were also erected to all parts of the city wall.

Ai Hu walked back and forth on the top of the city with a sword in hand, while shouting loudly:

"All soldiers, be sure to fight the enemy! No one is allowed to take a step back! Violators will be dealt with by military law! "I want to talk about "Conquering the World" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
