This caused Liu Ye and other defenders to be worried all day long, and they couldn't sleep steadily, and often got up in the middle of the night to climb the city tower, and saw that the enemy troops outside the city did not move, which was a little relieved.

After the last battle, the defenders under Liu Ye's command have become frightened birds, and there is a little turmoil outside the city, so they have to send people to seriously investigate and be vigilant.

On the Jin army's side, because the Xuanwu Legion army moved south, the Jin army was finally able to send a part of the troops to meet the rear and solve the worry of grain and grass.

At the same time, the Jin State sent another 100,000 troops south to support.

All in all, a million troops have gathered around the city.

This scale is comparable to the Battle of the Jin Dynasty that year

It barely met Yang Mu's expectations.

Yang Mu, who was far away in the palace, naturally knew that the enemy army was not a fool, and if it continued like this, it would definitely make the enemy suspicious.

Of course, it's okay to be suspicious.

After all, the wooden plan has been completed, and the offensive strategies of the three countries have deviated from the original agreement, and the entire strategy has been chaotic.

Not to mention a protracted war, it is estimated that now the three countries themselves can no longer afford to consume it.

The gathering of a large army in one place is not the same thing as attacking on separate routes.

If it is scattered, then after conquering the city, it is completely able to feed the war with war, which is equivalent to stationing the army in another place.

Since ancient times, this has been the case with protracted wars.

Even, during the years-long war, some armies would grow their own food......

The leading generals of the three parties were very helpless, always feeling that something was wrong, and it seemed that everything was going too well......

At the same time, the generals of the three parties also faintly comforted themselves in their hearts, hoping that this time they were really suspicious, Cangguo really has no conspiracy, its real strength is like this, and because of its arrogance, it neglected to take precautions, so that the armies of the three countries could easily attack the land of Wangji.

At this time, the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion, among the six major legions, were not in the territory of Cangguo at all, which was an excellent opportunity for each ** team.

Thinking about it, it seems that the same mistakes were made with the original Jin State, all of which were too big an appetite and too ambitious, and most of the main forces were not in the homeland......

Cangguo, do you have the ability to digest Chu and Yun?

The answer, no.

Otherwise, the countries would not have been so vigorous and mobilized their troops, and they would have sent troops to attack Cangguo.

……

At the beginning of October, when Licheng was besieged to the point that it could no longer be supported, the Xuanwu Legion joined up with the 3,000-strong red-coated artillery team and marched towards Licheng.

After hearing the news, the defenders and people in the city of Li reveled for a while.

Aftermath

In the past, although reinforcements were also coming around, due to the large enemy force and the city around Rei Castle was occupied, it was only a tense confrontation.

However, this time it was the Xuanwu Legion that came

Not only has it reached a full number of 300,000, but it is also one of the six major legions, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

On the night of the day he learned the news, Liu Ye led the defenders into three groups, taking turns to be on duty, and the more reinforcements were about to arrive, the more they had to be careful, because this was also the time when the enemy was most anxious, and there was no shortage of large armies, or like last time, the three armies jointly attacked the city.

I have to say that Liu Ye is still a little tender.

Until now, it has not been clarified why the two armies of Wei and Jin joined forces last time.

If it is the rank of the generalissimo of the six major legions, you can see through the relationship between the three countries at once.

There is cooperation, and there is competition.

For example, outside the current Licheng, there are three ** teams stationed.

The Wei army was given priority to attack Licheng, and the Jin army stayed on the sidelines to watch, and the Ruan army was itching beside them.

This is the relationship between the armies of the three countries.

As long as Wei did not take the initiative to ask for help and made a promise, the armies of the three countries would unite to capture Licheng, which would never happen.

And Wei took the initiative to ask for help and promised that he would make such a request unless the head of Gongsun Zhi, the general of the Wei army, was squeezed by the door.

Because it is very simple, Licheng has been almost surrounded, as long as the Xuanwu Legion that came to support is defeated, then Licheng is in the bag.

And if the Xuanwu Legion can't be defeated, then even if it occupies Licheng now, it doesn't make much sense, and it will still be recaptured in the future.

A few days later, the Xuanwu Legion arrived.

Fifty miles away from Licheng, Zhu Xi ordered the whole army to set up camp and repair for two days, and then wait for an opportunity to fight against the three armies.

I have to say that this decision is very smart, so that the chief generals of Ruan, Wei, and Jin feel powerless.

Originally, the three armies had been carefully arranged, ready to make the Xuanwu Legion suffer a big loss.

Unexpectedly, the Xuanwu Legion actually stopped halfway, which made the three armies seem to be accumulating strength for a long time, and then punched the cotton.

It's so infuriating

"Generalissimo, Licheng is about to be unable to hold on, why can't our army march forward? Wouldn't it be in vain to delay the fighters by stationing here? ”

On a hillside, Zhu Xi's lieutenant Qian Xiang hesitated and asked.

"Have you heard of Cao Di's debate?" Zhu Xi looked into the distance, and while observing the terrain with a telescope, he responded lightly.

"This is a story recorded in the secret book of the Cangjun Military Department, and my subordinates have the honor to read it."

"One blow, then two decays, three and exhaustion, you know this truth, right?"

Qian Fang frowned, fell into deep thought, and then exclaimed: "Is the generalissimo saying that the enemy army has been prepared for a long time, and the morale is high at this time, and our army is not suitable for the enemy?" ”

"That's right, that's a reason." Zhu Xi nodded and said: "The enemy army has already known the arrival of our army, and it must have been repaired for a few days and carried out a series of encouraging actions, and these days happen to be the most intense days of our army's long journey, although the morale of our army is strong, but it is extremely tired, it is better to rest first, avoid its edge, and wait until the enemy's morale subsides, our army can attack." ”

"So...... In this first battle, our army is still according to the original plan? Qian Fang asked.

Zhu Xi said solemnly: "Go and call the red-clothed artillery team to prepare, go to explore the terrain early tomorrow morning, this first battle is very important, we must expand the results to the maximum, so that the enemy army will be frightened and dare not act rashly." ”

"If the enemy withdraws......"

"Withdrawal?" Zhu Xi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "As far as I know, Your Majesty has issued a secret order, and Geng Guiqin, the generalissimo of the Qilin Legion, has led a large army to Licheng. ”

"There is such a thing"

Qian Fang was shocked, although he was the deputy marshal, he had been coordinating the army's march for the past few days, and he really didn't know about the Qilin Legion's coming to help.

However, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Qilin Army and the White Tiger Legion have been guarding the western frontier, after the Qilin Army is mobilized, how can the White Tiger Legion resist the Ruan State and the Mang State, if the Ruan Army and the Mang Army in Chu Land have a chance to take advantage of it, wouldn't it be bad?" ”
