After half a month of planning, it was imperative to attack Yishui City.

Judging by the enemies faced by the Triple Alliance, the situation is not very optimistic.

After the last fiasco, the Jin State learned its lesson and recruited a million troops, not to mention, but also mobilized the army under Qin Kan to integrate them, with a total strength of more than 1.3 million.

Such a large enemy army did put a lot of pressure on the Triple Alliance Army.

Of course, the coalition side is not without advantages.

First, after a few months of operation, a large area of the Jin State became the rear of the coalition army, and through active support for the puppet forces, it was basically included in the rule of the Cang State.

Second, several major cities have been controlled by the Cang State, and if the Jin State wants to counterattack, it will have to pay several times the price.

Third, the Jin army's newly recruited million-strong army has relatively little combat experience, and although most of them are retired government soldiers and veterans, there are also many recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

The 1.1 million army was divided into 100,000 troops to stay, and the movement of a whole 1 million army caused a huge repercussion like a hurricane.

Yishui City, a large city that has been around for hundreds of years, has existed since when it was not the land of the Jin Kingdom.

Such a strategically significant city cannot be an isolated city.

There are also two castles around it, namely Ito and Isi.

At twilight, Sima Hong patrolled the army, gathered the generals, and issued three commandery orders, dividing the coalition army into two parts.

The 200,000-strong army of the Cloud Kingdom was divided into two and captured the cities of Ito and Isi.

The 300,000 troops of the State of Chu and the Xuanwu Legion served as siege troops and attacked Yishui City.

The White Tiger Legion and the Qilin Army cut off the Jin reinforcements supporting Yishui City.

After the army was dispatched, the movement could be described as earth-shattering.

The people began to flee in all directions, and they all took refuge in the mountains.

They can't help but be like this, because they have already experienced it once, and they have lost patience with the Jin Kingdom.

Originally, the people didn't care too much at the beginning, no matter how the Jin State was besieged, the total strength of more than five million troops was real, and it was impossible to defeat a coalition army that was about to fall apart, and the Cangguo was even more so.

After two consecutive defeats, more than 500,000 troops in Fengwencheng were wiped out in the first battle, and the people were stunned.

Then a deep fear pervaded.

The powerful Jin Kingdom of the past is no longer there, and the Jin Kingdom, which has been the hegemon for a hundred years and no country dares to invade, is gone!

As a result, the people of the Jin Kingdom, who were still quite open-minded, suddenly became nervous, and while scolding the faint monarch for misleading the country, they fled in panic.

Especially in the Jin Kingdom, a relatively prosperous country, the public opinion is very terrifying, one person sings the decline and ten thousand people follow the decline, although the emperor of the Jin State is not specified, but who is the condemnation, passers-by know.

Historically, when the two countries fought each other, ordinary people generally did not flee, and only the wealthy clans fled.

But this time the coalition forces are attacking the city, who dares not to escape?

I heard that the coalition army's millions of soldiers are short of food and grass, and they are no longer able to fight, this is a desperate fight, what will an army do when it is hungry?

For many years, after the Jin army captured the city, it often slaughtered the city in order to solve the problem of grain and grass, which is a well-known thing.

Now that the banner of the coalition army is to destroy the Jin Kingdom, where is there any benevolence and righteousness to talk about?

Therefore, as soon as the army started, the common people of the Jin Kingdom decided that once the coalition army suffered a setback, they would definitely slaughter the city.

Panic and plague spread through the mountain village of Chaoye, and when the army arrived at the foot of Yishui City, the people around the city fled into the mountains, and those who were a little rich all went to Jincheng, in this special period, only that imperial city can give people long-term stability.

After all, the imperial city is the lifeblood of a country, the emperors are all there, the country will definitely defend with all its might, no matter how powerful the coalition is, can it still capture Jincheng all the way?

So, when the Liang army was in battle in Yishui City, the people in the city had already run seventy-seven eighty-eight.

The Chu army and the Xuanwu Legion, totaling 500,000, were arrayed under the city.

The scout reported: "Generalissimo, the city has almost escaped, and it has become an empty city except for the defenders. ”

"Order the whole army, clean up military discipline, military horses are not allowed to enter the village, people are not killed, goods are not collected, and those who violate the order will be immediately beheaded!"

Zhu Xi solemnly ordered, at this time, he has a long-term view, and the image of an army cannot completely collapse under the rendering of the enemy, otherwise it will take ten times the strength to reshape it in the future.

"Yes!"

Scouts are on call.

Zhu Xi held the horsewhip in his hand and said, "As long as the army of Yunguo starts to attack the city, our side will be able to act." ”

It turned out that in the middle of the city, the coalition army first set up several beacon towers, and once there was a situation, they would light the beacon fire, and under the transmission of a few beacon flames, they could get the news in a short time.

After the army was deployed, Zhu Xi and Wanxi climbed the temporary watchtower.

Looking at it from afar, I saw that the banners at the head of Yishui City were all over the city, and the armor soldiers were densely standing all over the city wall.

Wan Xi sighed: "It seems that there is a fierce battle. ”

Zhu Xi smiled and said, "It seems that the general is still thinking about Wu Guo?" ”

Wan Xi was stunned and shook his head with a wry smile.

Indeed, after hearing that the army led by Xiong Fang had been defeated, he was eager to immediately transfer his troops and horses back to China, preparing to return to China in one fell swoop.

At this time, he naturally hopes to end this war as soon as possible, and then have the opportunity to personally avenge his shame.

Therefore, during this time, he did occasionally feel distracted and seemed a little anxious.

Zhu Xi said solemnly: "General Wan, please distinguish the priority, you can cut Wu at any time, but this is the opportunity to cut Jin." ”

Wanxi nodded and said, "Ben will know." ”

To tell the truth, Wan Xi's heart is very envious of the commanders in the major armies of Cangguo, obviously there are only 200,000 commanders, but in peacetime they are the title of generalissimo, which is much higher than him who is only called marshal in wartime.

More importantly, Cangguo is the commander of this expedition, and the two major legions encountered, whether it is Sima Hong of the White Tiger Legion or Zhu Xi of the Xuanwu Legion, because of his status as a generalissimo, he is one level higher than him in wartime, so he naturally has to obey the command.

Zhu Xi didn't care about him, and said: "If we want to attack Jincheng, this Yishui City is the first checkpoint, and then there is the Zhongdu River moat, which is Jincheng. ”
