Chapter Eighty-Five: The Kingdom of Wu Strikes
Could it be that the tide of battle has changed?
Seeing Wen Sitong's panicked appearance, Su Heng subconsciously thought of the battle situation in the northern battlefield and the Jiangnan area, and wondered if something was wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wen Sitong took a big breath, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then said tremblingly: "Wu Guolu Yan poured the strength of the country and led two million troops to kill!" ”
Wu is the great enemy of Chu more than ten years ago, Wu was just a small border country, and it survived by offering good gifts every year to the ministers of various countries.
Later, after the development of several generations of kings, the state of Wu slowly began to swallow up the surrounding small states, strengthen its own power, and in addition to the original king of Wu used the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to win over the support of the state of Qi, so that the state of Chu, whose strength was above the state of Wu at that time, did not dare to act rashly, giving the state of Wu a lot of opportunities for development.
Later, the king of Qi died violently, and his heirs fought for the throne openly and secretly, only caring about internal strife, and had no time to care about the affairs of other countries, taking advantage of this opportunity, the king of Chu worshiped Liu Chuan as the commander, and led a million troops to attack Wu, that battle, Chu also exhausted the strength of the whole country, all kinds of materials, weapons, all transported to the front line, intending to annihilate Wu in one fell swoop.
In the face of the powerful Chu State, King Wu bowed to the generals and appointed Lu Yan, a scholar who was less than thirty years old, as the commander, and officially launched a year-long fight with the Chu State.
After the confrontation, Chu and Wu had their own victories and defeats, Lu Yan avoided the edge of Chu at that time, tricked Liu Chuan to lead troops deeper, and finally defeated Liu Chuan in Chishui, killing more than one million troops of Chu, so that the vitality of Chu was greatly injured, and Wu itself relied on the material supplies obtained from the victory of this war in one fell swoop to have the foundation of parallel with other powers, and finally after several years of development, it finally ranked with the other six countries and became one of the last seven remaining countries on the land of Shenzhou.
Now that more than ten years have passed, Wu State took advantage of the crisis of Chu State to copy the actions of Chu State back then, and poured the strength of the whole country into the potential to swallow Chu State.
Wen Sitong's voice was anxious and uneasy: "According to the report of the spies, Lu Yan transported all the supplies of Wu State to the battlefield this time, and the weapons and armor prepared by each soldier are the latest and best, and he also made all kinds of promises, so that the soldiers of Wu State will be united and not afraid of death." ”
"At present, Lu Yan is leading the army at full speed, according to this speed, it only takes ten days for them to reach Chishui, Chishui is a natural barrier, Lu Yan relied on this barrier to block the attack of Mr. Liu Chuan's million-strong army, so we must not lose this Chishui."
Wen Sitong's expression was enough to inform Su Heng of the importance of the matter, and he didn't ask much gossip, and asked directly, "How many defenders are there in Chishui?" ”
Wen Sitong frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then said in an uncertain tone: "Chishui belongs to the jurisdiction of Anping County, and it is estimated that there should be about 30,000 defenders, and on weekdays, these 30,000 defenders can easily block the attack of more than 100,000 troops through the Chishui barrier, but this time Lu Yan led an army of 2 million, and the 30,000 defenders may be difficult to resist even for half a day." ”
Anping County is the territory of Zhao Qianle, the king of Anping, but Zhao Qianle, the king of straw bags, stays in Shouyang all day long, and he doesn't know how many years he hasn't returned to his fiefdom.
Besides, what is the use of this straw bale prince even if he rushes away, so Su Heng directly ignored his existence, but thought about whether Da Chu had any useful troops now.
The closest to Anping County is Leling County, followed by Lingnan County, where Su Heng is now located, the 50,000 troops of Leling County have already been summoned by Zhao Wouji to deal with the Mongolian War, I am afraid that there are less than a thousand people left, and the other counties that are closer to Anping County are also withered in strength.
At present, the only prefectures and counties that can mobilize troops are Shouyang, Hanzhong, and Lingnan.
The four battalions of the two armies of Shouyang have been maintaining the safety of the Beijing Division, and they can't be transferred casually, Hanzhong is too far away from Anping, even if you want to support, you have to pass through the Jiangnan area, but at present, the three counties in Jiangnan have been occupied by the Xuanyi Army, and it is impossible to rescue Anping, and the only thing that can be used now is the 30,000 defenders of Lingnan County itself, plus the 50,000 Guanshan army under Su Heng and the 50,000 barbarian army just recruited this time.
There are 130,000 in total, even if the barbarians are brave, they have no chance of winning against Lu Yan's 2 million army.
Now I am afraid that only Anping County and Leling County have received the movement of Wu State, as well as Lingnan County. If the news wants to reach Zao Wou-ki, even if he loses the price of three good horses every day, the horses will not stop all the way, and it will take seven days at the earliest, so that the round trip is more than ten days, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to wait for Zao Wou-Ki to find a way to send troops to support, and if the news is not leaked, it will also make the soldiers of the Chu State who are currently fighting on the front line disheartened.
Su Heng thought a lot, both good and bad, now that the national disaster is in danger, there are some things, he can't control so much, and said directly to Wen Sitong: "Lord Wen, please go down immediately to gather a few elders of the barbarians, tell them all the situation, and say that I need the help of the barbarians, and after surviving this crisis, I will definitely ask for credit for them from Your Majesty." ”
Wen Sitong didn't think much about it, and immediately responded. Su Heng then shouted to the herald: "Immediately ordered General Qin to straighten out his troops and horses, and told him that a big battle was coming. ”
"You tell all the officials in the city, big and small, that each household collects grain and grass, and transports it to Chishui as soon as possible, and we will wait for the army to arrive later."
"After our army rushes to Chishui, you are responsible for the logistics of the rear, and you must ensure that there is enough food and grass, and the front line must not run out of food in the back."
"You immediately write a letter to inform Danyang Taishou Xu Zhirong of all the situation, and ask him to open the granary of Danyang County, take the Leling line, and quickly transport it to Chishui."
Su Heng summoned a group of officials from Lingnan County again, and distributed the instructions one by one in an orderly manner, at this moment, he couldn't control this overstepping his authority.
Chishui is in danger, he can't wait for Zao Wou-ki's holy decree, so he can only lead the troops to support first, and he must keep the gate of Chu State, even if Zao Wou-Ki blames him afterwards, he will not regret it, he does not seek fame and fortune, but only a clear conscience.
At this time, the internal scuffle in the Chu State is a critical moment, and there is a crisis outside, if Lu Yan's army takes Chishui, then the time for the Chu State to fall is not far away.
