Cao An talked a lot to Liu Cheng, but no matter how much he talked about, it didn't change Liu Cheng's determination to take Xuzhou in the end.

There are two main reasons for this, one is Liu Cheng's personality.

Liu Cheng is cautious and can't be said to be suspicious, but it is indeed very difficult to trust others.

Although Cao An gave Liu Cheng a great surprise, he returned Wang Fugui's martial soul and sent Liu Cheng a large amount of secret information to win Liu Cheng's favor, but Liu Cheng still did not completely believe Cao An.

There are many things that Liu Cheng has not seen with his own eyes, and he will not really believe it.

So from beginning to end, he still maintained a certain skepticism about the matter of the national weapon.

One of the most important reasons is that Li Longxiang is also the leader of a martial soul force, but he didn't learn about the national weapon from Li Longxiang.

Of course, Liu Cheng couldn't say that he doubted Cao An's words because of this, but at least with an uncertain gaze.

Unless he can take down the Ming Dynasty, take off the martial soul of the Ming Emperor, and get the matter about the national weapon from the martial soul of the Ming Emperor, Liu Cheng will be able to completely believe in this matter.

In addition to Liu Cheng's lack of complete conviction about the national weapon, there is another important reason.

After all, this matter is related to Wang Fugui's martial soul, and in the matter of Wang Fugui's martial soul, Liu Cheng naturally wants to be a little stronger.

Xuzhou dared to attack Wang Fugui's martial spirit, and he naturally wanted to destroy the entire Xuzhou.

Of course, by the way, let's test the true strength of these so-called top martial soul forces today.

And to understand the true strength of these martial spirits, is there anything more direct than fighting a battle?

This is obviously gone!

Therefore, Cao An said so much, it was useless to dig out his heart and lungs like that in the end, Liu Cheng still had to fight, at most, he was more cautious in the strategic arrangement.

Cao An had just left on the front foot, and the battlefield in Xuzhou on Liu Cheng's side started working again after ten days of silence.

There was no declaration of war, no notice, no advance preparations.

With almost no warning, the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army of the Lang Evil Kingdom moved again.

However, people in Xuzhou are not eating dry rice, and the Lang evil country has fallen, and Qingzhou at this time is not an imaginary enemy for them, but an enemy in the real sense.

In the face of the enemy, although it was an enemy who had not made a big move for ten days, the Xuzhou side still maintained absolute vigilance.

So almost as soon as Zhou Kui's army moved, Xuzhou's side was also ready to deal with it.

Xuzhou has its own strategy, although there are still 500,000 troops under Xuzhou's command, but Xuzhou does not seem to plan to have a hard-to-head battle with Liu Cheng.

It's not a big deal, you can't win, you don't have the confidence to fight, but you can't fight like this!

There is no benefit to Xuzhou in this way, and now the whole Xuzhou is running wildly, thinking about the evolution of a war machine.

During Liu Cheng's delay of ten days, Xuzhou increased its troops by a total of 500,000, and this was only the initial effect of the increase in troops.

According to their own plan to increase their troops, they only need to give them a month, and they can triple on this one.

At that time, the entire Xuzhou will be able to have an army of two million, although it is only a temporary collection of soldiers, but with the military generals on the Xuzhou side, they will also be able to burst out with good strength.

And this is just one of them, what is more important for Xuzhou's side is that they are contacting their neighbors and asking them to resist or even directly destroy Liu Cheng.

I don't know what kind of price Xuzhou has paid, several of his neighbors, even after Wang Fugui died in the battle, did not have any intention of making a move on the side of Chu State.

The three forces of Great Chu, Great Tang and Great Han are all in the pipeline, and it will only take half a month or even less at most for Xuzhou to usher in their reinforcements.

In this way, in Xuzhou's view, time is completely on their side.

Since the longer the battle lasts, the more beneficial it will be for them, they are naturally willing to be full and more expensive.

So, in the face of Zhou Kui's attacking army of 300,000, Xuzhou's side launched a comprehensive defensive tactic, intending to do everything possible to delay the time of this war.

However, this tactic failed as soon as it was arranged, and they underestimated the assault ability of Zhou Kui's 300,000-strong army.

Even Sun Chengzong's 150,000 army couldn't stop Zhou Kui's 300,000 army for a day, so what could they do with the comprehensive defense of those scattered cities?

From the moment Zhou Kui's 300,000 army left the Lang Evil Country, he began to sweep all the way.

Zhou Kui's 300,000 army was divided into three groups, and they overwhelmed it with overwhelming momentum, and in just one day, they directly took the six cities of Xuzhou.

There is no city on the Xuzhou side that can withstand the attack of Zhou Kui's army, of course, this is not because the strength of the Ming army in Xuzhou is not good.

In terms of strength alone, the strength of Daming's side is not bad, but Zhou Kui's side is even more terrifying.

Zhou Kui's three armies, each of which has at least one top general, two first-class generals, and these top generals take the lead in every siege.

Don't look at the previous time in Lang Evil City, the joint efforts of the seven members of the Dian Xiong were also suppressed by Sun Chengzong, and it seems that the so-called top generals and first-class generals are not only worthless, but even useless.

In fact, the top generals are still quite terrifying, especially for that kind of city with no more than 350,000 defenders.

As long as the opponent does not have outstanding generals, it is quite difficult to block the attack of top generals.

And even among these cities, there are occasionally a few more powerful cities, with all kinds of excellent city defense facilities, which can withstand the attacks of top generals and first-class generals.

But that's still not useful, Zhou Kui's army also has a big killing weapon.

That is the [Shenwei Invincible General], during this period of time, the two grandmasters behind Liu Cheng have completed the research of the drawings, and have begun to try to produce the [Shenwei Invincible General].

Since a huge breakthrough has been made in the mass production of artillery, Liu Cheng did not think about the [Shenwei Invincible General] as a baby, and directly gave all six [Shenwei Invincible General] to Zhou Kui.

And these six cannons have extremely experienced performance on this battlefield, no matter how strong the city wall is, the six [Shenwei Invincible General] are surrounded by each other, and they kneel down after a few rounds of salvos.

With the help of the [Shenwei Invincible General], in just six days, Zhou Kui's 300,000 troops went all the way directly to Xiapi, the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty in Xuzhou......
