The king of Chu fainted, and the ministers and eunuchs were in a mess, and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to send the king of Chu back to the palace for treatment.

It was a hasty end that morning, and the ministers were even more worried and panicked.

And the king of Chu didn't wake up until noon, and the crowd just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but it was a hundred thousand urgent battle reports.

Called to the dormitory to report, saying: The follow-up grain and grass needed by the Qinglong Army were robbed halfway and burned down, and there were no particles left.

The king of Chu roared angrily, and another mouthful of old blood spurted out, his eyes were wide with anger, and he was speechless for a long time.

The people waiting on the side were also extremely puzzled in their hearts, the dignified Tianchu Dynasty, with millions of soldiers, has always been the only one who is my prisoner, how can anyone offend my truth.

But now it is the hinterland of the dynasty, all the important places, repeatedly looted, but failed to capture a single enemy army, where did such a large enemy army come from? Where will it go?

Nothing is known. And this unknown is the most terrifying.

The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, no matter how powerful the enemy is, Tian Chu will not be afraid, but this enemy who has not even seen a shadow makes Tian Chu worry up and down.

And the bad news is not only that, just after the king of Chu issued an edict that the whole country wanted the enemy.

In the evening, I received an urgent report that the Xuanwu Army on the North Road had been robbed of the grain and grass.

The next day, he received a report on the subsequent robbery of grain and grass from the Suzaku Legion.

The three-way army, all the grain and grass were looted. The next day, he received a battle report that the front line of Tiger Prison Pass had been unable to attack for a long time and suffered heavy losses, urging for supplies.

For a while, the king of Chu actually had a feeling of powerlessness, which had never appeared since he ascended the throne.

According to the battle report, the 700,000-strong army has been attacking under the Tiger Prison Pass for several days, but it is still unable to set foot on the city wall for half a step, and the losses are huge, and it is in urgent need of supplies.

Now that all three roads of grain and grass have been destroyed, it is difficult to mobilize such a huge batch of grain and grass supplies in time for a while.

Moreover, the King of Chu also knew very well that such a large-scale army could not be taken quickly, which meant that Dayan had already established a firm foundation in the Tiger Pass, and it would be difficult to be effective if it continued.

I had to give an order with hatred: Suzaku and Xuanwu armies retreated, spread out in an all-round way, and searched for the enemy troops inside Tianchu with the momentum of the heaven and earth net, and we must let these wandering enemies be crushed to pieces in order to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

The Qinglong Army was stationed in front of the Tiger Prison Pass to prevent the Great Yan from attacking on a large scale, and the main cities in the east mobilized half of their reserves as quickly as possible to transport them to the Qinglong Army camp. The treasury immediately redeployed the materials, dispatched 30,000 each of the Xuanwu Army and the Vermilion Bird Army, coordinated the escort, and immediately transported them to the Qinglong Army camp under the Tiger Prison Pass. The whole country recruited troops, expanded the army by 10 percent, and prepared the whole country for war.

As soon as the recruitment order came out, Tianchu shocked the whole country, and some people heard about the recent changes before, and thought it was a rumor, but with the appearance of the recruitment order, they were all convinced that the loss of the tiger prison pass, the burning of the divine beast camp and other changes seemed to be true.

Tianchu, dangerous.

However, the people of the cities in the east have different voices, especially the people of Wusui City, but they have even more expectations for the Great Yan Army.

It's not that they are not patriotic, but ordinary people, who are still struggling to make ends meet, how can they have the time and money to read the books of sages? How can there be any feelings for family and country?

The poor people only understand one truth, and those who can keep them fed and clothed are good people. And for so many years, Tianchu has been reckless, not to mention the tyrannical conquest, and it is not far off. The people were miserable, and they looked forward day and night to the day when they would have enough food and clothing.

And the Great Yan Army, which had hurriedly crossed the border, gave them a peace of mind, a food and clothing, so they respected the Great Yan Army that had been stationed in Wusui deep in their hearts, and thought about it for a long time.

But no matter what the people are, the king of Chu and the upper class will definitely not look forward to the arrival of the Great Yan Army.

While the whole country was preparing for war, the Tianchu Dynasty sent eight envoys at the same time, bringing a lot of property, and rushed to various countries to discuss.

Among them, the envoys who went to Dayan, although they did not carry many entourages and belongings like other envoys, but the send-off team was the longest, and the wives and children were sent to the ten miles outside the long pavilion, and they were reluctant.

Under Tianchu's wanton search, the Flame Army effectively avoided the investigation again and again with accurate intelligence. And if there is really no way to avoid it, then relying on the superior speed, it is not difficult for the Flame Army, which is known for its speed, to try its best to kill Tianchu's investigation.

Several tasks in the territory of Tianchu have been successfully completed, and the Xuanwu and Suzaku armies are returning to defense, and it is no longer suitable to continue to stay, and the Flame Army quietly rushed to the direction of Tiger Prison Pass.

One day, Xiang Tianba, who was leading the Xuanwu army to advance westward, received news that a large number of soldiers and horses had been found in the eighteen bends of the mountains south of Wusui City, and they had been wandering in the mountains for two days, as if they were trapped in the intricate mountains.

Xiang Tianba laughed, treacherous and cunning, dare to be presumptuous in my Tianchu territory, I can't run away from you now, the whole army is dispatched, and immediately besiege the eighteen bends.

Eighteen bends of the mountains, is a huge mountain range in the south of Wusui City, although can not be compared with the Songyuan mountain range, but also stretches for hundreds of miles, and the mountains are high and dense, the road is difficult and dangerous, rugged and circling, it is said that less than ten miles, there are enough eighteen bends, the mountains are named eighteen bends.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is very likely that you will enter it rashly and get lost in it. So after receiving the news, Xiang Tianba did not hesitate at all, and immediately determined that the enemy army must have strayed into the mountains to avoid round-up, and was lost in it.

The Xuanwu army immediately retracted and rushed to the Eighteen Bends at full speed, and at the same time passed a message to Xiang Tianyu, the crown prince in the Suzaku Army, saying that the enemy army had been lost in the mountains of the Eighteen Bends, and the Xuanwu Army had rushed to the Eighteen Bends.

The prince received this battle report from his brother, it was a little strange, he led the Suzaku Army on the southern front, and he had not yet detected the movements of the Eighteen Bends, why was his brother, who was on the northern front and had always been bad at scheming, first learned about the movements of the Eighteen Bends? Could it be a trap?

However, seeing the words of the imperial brother's war report, he could not believe it, so he ordered the army to stop advancing and quickly sent scouts to the vicinity of the eighteen bends to investigate.

The next day, Tanma returned to the prince, and found signs of the army entering the mountains near the eighteen bends, and looking at the inside of the mountains, there seemed to be a fire flickering at night, because the road was difficult to travel, and the enemy situation was unknown, so he did not dare to go deeper.

After listening to Tanma's report, the prince also basically determined that the enemy army should have entered the eighteen bends of the mountains, after all, under the comprehensive round-up of the two major armies of Suzaku and Xuanwu, it is common sense for the enemy army to enter the mountains to hide. Then he ordered the Suzaku Army to immediately pull out the camp, rush to the eighteen bends at full speed, and hunt in the mountains!
