Lightly-clothed soldiers, they do not wear armor, they only carry iron swords in their hands, they are not to kill the enemy, but to fight for their lives.

They are all people who have committed heinous crimes in various parts of the Chu State, and their existence is to weaken the living force of the enemy army.

It can be said that no one in this world cares about their life and death.

The light-clothed men knew that this was their only chance to regain their freedom, and that only enough feats would allow them to leave this place where there was no fun other than fighting.

This is the role and fate of the lightly clothed dead soldiers, Xiang Tian has never cared about their life and death, he only values himself.

.......

It's just that Xiang Tian's move is not to consume the enemy's living force, but to suppress people with power, so that they believe that if they don't open the city and surrender, it will definitely be a dead end.

It can be said that at this moment, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, is just to gather the momentum of the lightly clothed dead soldiers to increase the pressure on the guards in the city, because this will help the soldiers to fight without blood.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Tian will give up the most difficult and effective flooding strategy, and instead choose to attack and overwhelm people.

……

Xiapi.

The Chu army suddenly appeared, and before Zhang Qiu and the others knew it, the soldiers were coming to the city, which made their hearts flicker.

Because all this is too weird, their eyes are still entangled in Tan County, not Xiapi, but the matter in Tan County has not yet happened, and Xiapi City has already come to the city.

The incident happened too suddenly, so Zhang Qiu and the others were in a hurry, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"General, the Chu army is attacking the city!"

Glancing at the herald, a solemnity flashed in Zhang Qiu's eyes, but he knew that although Xiang Tuo, the general of the Chu State, was unknown, he was also talented.

At this time, the Chu army marched south, completely making Zhang Qiu and others unable to see hope.

"The lightly clothed dead soldier is attacking the city, the main force of the Chu army must have been prepared, please give the order!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiu's eyes flickered, and he turned to the others, and said, "Go to the city wall with this official, and be lonely enough to see the soldiers of the Chu army!" ”

"No."

Nodding his head in response, the civil and military forces in Xiapi City walked towards the city wall, and at this moment, Zhang Qiu took three steps and made two steps and stepped on the city wall.

"Adult ......"

Waving his hand, Zhang Qiu looked at the dead soldiers of the Chu army below, his eyes were deep. He knew in his heart that there were too few soldiers and horses in Xiapi, and in the next war, he would not be able to please him at all.

"Judging from the layout of the Chu army's camp, the commander of the Chu army is not an ordinary person, and it is obvious that the number of the Chu army has reached a terrifying 20,000."

"What do you think about that?"

At this moment, Zhang Qiu's words were very straightforward, because they were all clear. At this moment, it has come to the critical autumn of Xiapi's survival.

If there are no huge variables, tonight, Xiapi City will fall into the hands of the Chu army.

.......

Hearing Zhang Qiu's words, the quiet fallen leaves on the entire Xiapi city wall could be heard, but they also knew that at this time, it was time to make a decision, and the 20,000 Chu troops were under the city, and the lightly clothed dead soldiers had begun to attack the city.

Wang Liang, the county lieutenant, glanced at the scene of the Chu army's siege, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said: "My lord, the chief general of the Chu army has no intention of capturing Xiapi in one fell swoop, and this siege is just a warning to our army." ”

"If the last general's prediction is not bad, the Chu army will withdraw its troops next!"

Wang Liang's analysis made Zhang Qiu and the others put their hearts down, they all knew that this war could only hold on, and they must not take the initiative to attack, otherwise it would be broken by the Chu army.

........

Just when Zhang Qiu and the others were at a loss, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, frowned slightly, and waved his left hand forward: "Mingjin collects the troops, the army is encamped, and the Huotou army buries the pot to make rice." ”

"No."

There is a way that people are iron and rice are steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, the army is a long journey, for the next war, and to deal with all emergencies, the Chu army must recuperate.

Prince Chu is also one of the best generals in the world, and he has long been clear about this.

"Knock, knock, knock......."

The sound of gold sounded, and in just one breath, it filled the entire battlefield, and the sound of gold sounded, and the lightly clothed dead soldiers faded like a tide, which also made everyone on the city wall of Xiapi breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they knew that when the armies of the two sides were facing each other, it meant that war was inevitable, but for them, postponing one day was one day, because Zhang Qiu and the others did not think about the future, and they could only take care of the present when they were besieged by the army of Chu.

.......

After eating and drinking, Xiang Tian stayed in the big tent, staring at the map in a daze, he knew in his heart that the army of Chu at this time was too small, and once there was an accident, he couldn't take care of it at all.

At this moment, Xiang Tian set his eyes on the 20,000 army of Donghai County, as long as he was supplemented by the 20,000 army, Xiang Tian would be more comfortable in the next means.

After all, when Donghai County is taken, it also needs a large army to defend it, and the Chu army at this moment is not enough, once Donghai County is captured, it will be a great test for the military strength of Chu State.

Because of this, Xiang Tian took precautions and set his eyes on the army of Donghai County, knowing in his heart that this was the only way to quickly strengthen the Chu army.

"Strategist, do you think it is possible to persuade Zhangqiu to surrender and go down without blood?"

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Tian said the idea that had just formed in his heart, at this point, he was not unable to capture Xiapi, but he just forcibly attacked the city, not only could not get the five thousand defenders, but also weakened the Chu army under his command.

As the crown prince of Chu, Xiang Tian knows better than anyone that nothing can be relied on in this troubled world, and what can really be relied on is these armies, with an army of 70,000, which is the reason why the overlord of Western Chu compromised and he was able to govern Chu with the respect of the prince.

What's more, in the next matter, whether it is to face the princes of the world or to aim the butcher knife at the Chu Di Shi clan, this requires Xiang Tian to have a strong force in his hands, otherwise Xiang Tian will be the first to die.

In a direct conflict of interest, official positions and status are not as important as interests, and they will even take risks and not even want their lives.

"Shhh

With a gasp, a solemnity appeared in the eyes of the master, and almost instantly, he understood what Xiang Tian was thinking, and when he clarified the situation in Xiapi, he suddenly found that it was not impossible to do so.

"The minister is willing to be a messenger and enter the city to persuade Zhangqiu to surrender!"

This is the attitude of Master Li, which shocked Xiang Tian, and showed a touch of appreciation between his expressions, Master Li's decisiveness and his insight, in this world, are among the best.
