Of course, Xiang Tong knew about such a big movement of the Qi army at the first time, and seeing Jiang Huan Chu swaggering over from under his nose with an army of 50,000 like this, Xiang Tong's first reaction was to go out and intercept them.

But then he saw Tian Wuji not far away with an army of 100,000 staring at him, Xiang informed that if he killed him, he would definitely fight Tian Wuji, which was also what Xiang Tong had been avoiding.

Once the two armies fight, the Chu army will definitely not be able to get benefits, and in the end, they will not be able to stop Jiang Huan Chu. But if you don't fight, let Jiang Huan Chu go over like this, Changli City will be dangerous, there are only 10,000 defenders there, once lost, his retreat will also be cut off by the Qi army.

Besides, if Xiang Tong really didn't send troops to intercept it, if this matter spread, it was inevitable that some people would suspect that Xiang Tong had ulterior motives and deliberately let Jiang Huan Chu pass, and then he would have to bear the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Thinking about this, Xiang Tong still decided to symbolically intercept it, he divided 50,000 troops to Xiang Chu, asked him to intercept Jiang Huan Chu, and he took the rest of the people to block Tian Wuji.

The gate of Nanyang City was wide open, Xiang Chu led the army straight to Jiang Huan Chu, and Tian Wuji just ordered troops to intercept it. Xiang Tong rushed out with 50,000 people and blocked in front of Tian Wuji.

Tian Wuji sneered, waved the command flag in his hand, and the Qi army was also divided into two, half of which was still led by Tian Wuji to meet Xiang Tong. The other half was led by Tian Wuji's deputy general and Tian Wuji's younger brother Tian Wuheng, bypassing Xiang Tong and killing Xiang Chu.

Jiang Huan Chu who was marching also noticed that the Chu army was going to divide his troops to intercept it, so according to the agreement with Tian Wuji in advance, he immediately turned his horse's head and turned around to attack Xiang Chu with Tian Wuheng.

Out of fear of Tian Wuji, Xiang Tong has been paying close attention to the dynamics on the battlefield, and when he saw that the Qi army was also divided, he realized that it was wrong, and hurriedly asked Xiang Chu to withdraw first to avoid being attacked by the Qi army.

Xiang Chu heard the sound of gold, and immediately made a decision, ordered the whole army to stop the attack, formed a formation to defend in place, and then slowly withdrew to Nanyang City.

Tian Wuji didn't plan to really fight a decisive battle with the Chu army, although the Qi army now has the advantage of strength, but fighting a tough battle is not the best policy, even if he can win in the end, he will lose a lot. The goal of Qi is to unify the five countries, so they must strictly control their losses in every battle.

The master duel is like this, the final victory or defeat of the war is actually known before the war, Tian Wuji and Xiang Chu are both first-class generals in the world, and now the situation on the battlefield is also very clear, and the hard fight will only be a miserable victory for the Qi army in the end, and this result is not in line with the interests of both sides.

So Xiang Tong withdrew to Nanyang City, and Tian Wuji did not chase after him, and this time as soon as the two armies fought each other, the battle was over. Although the Chu army was not defeated, it had already lost strategically, because Jiang Huan Chu's 50,000 army had already killed Changli City.

After Xiang Tong returned to the city, he immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to Chang Licheng to be too punctual and Wenyi, asking him to guard against Jiang Huan Chu, and at the same time asking Chu Emperor Xiong Huan for help.

After Jiang Huanchu left Nanyang City, he marched all the way, and although the defenders of Changli City were only 10,000 people, they were already prepared.

The purpose of the rapid march was not to surprise the attack, but to gain time, and to fight Changli could only rely on the superiority of numbers to attack, and there were no other skills available, and the biggest difficulty was to end the battle before the reinforcements of the Chu State arrived. Otherwise, after a long time, Nanyang will draw another force to attack, and the Qi army under the city of Changli will fall into the predicament of Gan Zining at the beginning.

In the early morning of the third day, the Qi army arrived at the city of Changli. Shi Wenyi and Jiang Huanchu are also old acquaintances, a few years ago, when Jiang Huanchu secretly visited Chu, the first stop was Changli, and Shi Wenyi was also responsible for the reception.

Shi Wenyi stood at the head of the city and shouted at the Qi army under the city: "Fourth prince, don't come unharmed, do you remember Shi Mou?" I didn't expect that we would meet on the battlefield today. ”

Jiang Huan Chu naturally remembered Shi Wenyi, and said with a smile: "Shi Taishou, Jiang thank you for your hospitality that day, today Jiang led the army to come for nothing else, just for your Changli City." Shi Taishou, are you willing to submit to my Daqi? You have been guarding the frontier for so many years, and you have no other relatives at home except for your aunt, so you can bear to let her worry about you all day long? ”

Jiang Huan Chu knew that Shi Wenyi was a filial son, so he started with his mother and wanted to persuade him.

Shi Wenyi shook his head, did not answer Jiang Huanchu's question, but persuaded: "Fourth prince, as a prince, you should not risk your life, you should know each other once, you should go back now, otherwise as soon as our reinforcements arrive, you will be unable to fly." ”

Jiang Huan Chu knew that this would be the result: "Since none of us can convince anyone, let's divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield." ”

Jiang Huan Chu divided the 50,000 Chu army into three, changing it every two hours, and attacked non-stop for twelve hours a day, not giving the Chu army defending the city a little rest.

This trick can hurt Shi Wenyi who defended the city, the defenders were originally only 10,000 people, and the Qi army could be divided into three shifts, if he also divided the defenders into three batches, each batch of defenders would be left with 3,000 people, how could 3,000 people defend Changli.

It was only a day later, and the Chu army obviously had a decline in combat effectiveness due to insufficient rest. Fortunately, Shi Wenyi has been operating in Changli for many years, and is deeply loved by the people in the city.

Jiang Huan Chu under the city saw this scene, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Shi Wenyi's personality, in such a critical moment, there were still so many people willing to stand on his side.

Although the people's combat effectiveness is not strong, they are better than the large number of people, and if they do not take some measures, it will be really difficult to capture them in a short time.

Jiang Huan Chu is not as wise as Shi Luosheng, he can't think of so many schemes, and he is not as brave as Liu Zixuan. But Jiang Huan Chu knows where his advantage is, he is the prince of Qi State, his identity is his advantage, as long as he takes the lead, the soldiers of Qi State can further release their combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huan Chu took out the treasure knife he carried with him, jumped to the foot of Changli City, jumped up the ladder again, and climbed towards the city.

The Chu army on the city tower saw a "big fish", and their eyes lit up, and everyone knew very well what it meant to them to be able to capture or kill the prince of Qi alive.

The Qi army, which was also besieging the city, saw Jiang Huan Chu rushing to the front, and their morale was also greatly boosted, and the prince had personally killed the enemy.

As soon as Jiang Huan Chu appeared suddenly, and at the same time inspired the soldiers on both sides, Shi Wenyi knew that Jiang Huan Chu's martial arts were extraordinary, so he quickly dispatched a group of elite soldiers to come over to guard.

But Jiang Huan Chu's martial arts are invincible here, and after a burst of left and right rushes, it is not far from the city.
