Chapter 550: On the Eve of the Collapse
"Humph! Since there were no casualties among the Huan army, it would be better to let him suffer heavy casualties and break through again! ”
Xiang Yu, who was lost in love and hatred, although he quickly understood what Yu Ziqi said, knew better that if the army of Huan Guo was allowed to leave, Xiang Sheng was unlikely to be the opponent of the army of Huan Guo, not to mention the army led by Prince Huan and the greedy wolf guard and the five major legions.
"Major General?"
When Xiang Yu was thinking about it, Yu Ziqi thought that Xiang Yu had figured it out, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, who knew that Xiang Yu not only did not change his mind, but also shook the heart of the Huan State army stronger.
Based on Yu Ziqi's understanding of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu only has a strong and domineering personality, but his military talent is beyond doubt. Otherwise, if Xiang Yu's strength alone depends, Xiang Yu will not be able to become a recognized major general of the Xiang family, let alone be called an overlord.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu was blinded by hatred.
"The importance of the matter, this seat naturally knows. Relying on us alone, it is indeed impossible to snipe King Huan. However, as long as our side intercepts it, it is not difficult to inflict heavy damage on King Huan's army. Even as long as it is dragged until General Xiang destroys the Huai River port and the large and small warships of Huan State, even if King Huan returns to Huan State, the elite master of Huan State will not be able to cross the Huai River in a short time, and after a long time, he will definitely die! ”
Xiang Yu waved his hand to stop Yu Ziqi from persuading him, and explained confidently.
After all, if Zhang Chu is defeated, the area north of the Huai River will naturally become the territory of the Great Qin Empire or the Xiang clan. At that time, the elite of Huan State, who could not cross the river, would become a lone army, a lone army with neither a base nor logistics, and they would definitely die!
This point was explained by Fan Zeng at the Xiang family's military meeting, and Xiang Yu only needed to point it out, and there was no need to explain more.
"Hey......"
Seeing that Xiang Yu was so resolute, Yu Ziqi sighed secretly and didn't say more.
After all, the grievances between Xiang Yu and King Huan basically came from Yu Ji or the Yu family, and Yu Ziqi should not have spoken out. Even if Yu Zi is unintentional and unashamed to remind, talking too much will have the opposite effect.
"What the young general means, his subordinates understand! However, with the ability of Han Xin, the Marquis of the Absolute Martial Arts, it is impossible not to see the intentions of the army of the Huan Kingdom, but now there is no sign of stopping it, but instead cooperating with the King of Huan to transfer the main force away from the direction of the city gate, which shows that the Great Qin Absolute Martial Marquis did not intend to intercept the army of the Huan Kingdom. ”
Looking at Yu Ziqi, whose eyes were gloomy, Lian Cheng hesitated for a moment, calmly looked directly at Xiang Yu and reminded. After a pause, without waiting for Xiang Yu to respond, he quickly continued: "If the Great Qin Tiger Army has no intention of making a move, we alone will not be able to help King Huan's army, but will suffer heavy losses." ”
Xiang Yujian raised his eyebrows, his face was quite displeased, but he did not refute.
"What's more, in this decisive battle between Qin and Chu, the people of the world have all participated in the strength of the force, no matter who wins or loses, it will definitely be greatly damaged, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by other forces. I believe that this is also one of the main reasons why the Marquis of Great Qin Juewu obviously intends to let go of the army of Huan State! ”
Seeing that Xiang Yu didn't make a sound, Lian Cheng explained again and again, and then said with a wry smile: "Perhaps, our plan has already been voided by the Great Qin Cave, and they are waiting for us to fight with the two tigers of Huan Kingdom!" ”
"There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the world, not to mention that each power has its own background and dependence, and now although we, Daqin, Liu Bang, Peng Yue, etc. are alliances, they must also be wary of each other and calculate!" Yu Ziqi added a reminder.
Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Yu Ziqi angrily and said, "This is naturally clear to this seat!" ”
Did Yu Ziqi treat him as an "idiot"? Do you need to be reminded of this?!
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, and he sneered and ordered: "No matter what, this is the best time to weaken Huan Guo." Contact the Marquis of Great Qin to express his intentions, if he is willing to cooperate with us, then this seat will personally lead the elite to intercept the army of Huan State. If the Absolute Marquis refuses, we can use the excuse to withdraw from the battlefield immediately, not only to save the losses of the Chencheng Street Battle, but also to take the opportunity to occupy Zhang Chu's territory! ”
It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone!
In fact, the reason why Xiang's power participated in the siege of Zhang Chu was that in addition to really wanting to destroy Zhang Chu's power and seize the opportunity, it was also a last resort. Because if the Xiang clan did not participate in the siege, the Great Qin Empire would have to divide its forces to guard against the Xiang clan's strength, and the battle situation would naturally not be fierce, or even tragic!
…,
Yu Ziqi and Lian Cheng glanced at each other worriedly, and Yu Ziqi bowed with a wry smile in his heart and said, "The young general is famous!" ”
Speaking of which, Xiang Yu still wants to destroy the army of Huan Kingdom, and it means at any cost! Of course, dragging the Great Qin Tiger Army is much better than Xiang Yu insisting on dealing with the Huan State Army.
At this time, Yu Ziqi and Lian Cheng can only hope that Han Xin, the Marquis of Absolute Martial Arts, will reject Xiang Yu's intentions, then they can take the opportunity to leave the battlefield, they can retain their military strength to the greatest extent, and they can take the opportunity to seize a large piece of territory!
……
The sun sets, and the sunset stains blood.
It has been a day since the Great Qin camp launched an attack on Chencheng, the capital of Zhang Chu.
For a day, the drums of war turned carbon-colored, the clouds covered the sky, and the blood condensed into a blood cocoon.
The eastern, western, and northern battlefields of Chencheng are still dominated by siege equipment and the elites of both sides, and the two sides have suffered casualties on each other, but they are not heavy, because the armies of the two sides have not yet officially broken out into a tragic conflict.
The southern city wall of Chen Cheng is bloody and shocking.
The corpses were piled up in the corners, the blood stained the walls red, the war drums deafened the ears, and the high-spirited jī blood became insensitive......
At night, the thick shadow of death enveloped the area of the southern city wall, the corpses filled the city wall and slept peacefully inside and outside, and the dead blackbird wandered low, blindly hoarse at the cruel world realm, the tragic war.
The glow of the sky has dissipated, and the area of the southern city wall, which is shrouded in thick clouds, is even more cold and cold.
With the perverted physical strength of the sword, after a day of fighting, he was also exhausted, but he still came to the city gate tower and watched the battle between the enemy army outside the city and the city wall.
At this time, the enthusiasm and high fighting spirit of the armies of the two sides in the first battle had disappeared without a trace, and they were all numb and tired.
The enemy forces of the Great Qin camp outside the city are still all over the mountains and fields, and it is difficult to count.
As far as the eye can see, it is like an endless dark cloud, and the offensive is still like an endless wave, constantly hitting the city wall without stopping.
The same was true for the Chencheng defenders, with the dense Zhang Chu new army covering the inside of the city wall, surging up the city wall like a tide, and fighting a life-and-death battle with the enemy army that rushed up the city wall.
It is completely conceivable that even the top powerhouses such as Huan Wang Jianyan, Li Tong, and Long Ji are exhausted from the battle, and those ordinary soldiers can be imagined.
Because of the narrow battlefield of the battle for the city wall, although ordinary soldiers also have time to rest and rotate on the surface, they can withdraw and recuperate with peace of mind when they are ordered to rest and recuperate, and they will not be subject to military law. However, not many people had the strength or energy to withdraw to recuperate, and most of them died in battle.
"Tell Your Majesty that the south city wall has lost two hundred and one passages, if there is no accident, it can only be supported until the end of tomorrow (nine o'clock in the morning)!"
When observing the battle situation and taking the opportunity to rest, the scouts of Huan Guo quickly came to report that Zhang Chu's general Deng Zong was next to the sword martyrdom, which was also correct.
"Hmm!" Jian Yan nodded, looking at the personal guard beside him.
"Tell Your Majesty! General Tian has already made all the arrangements to settle the people of Nancheng District, and is ready for everything! The personal guards understood and quickly responded.
“……”
Deng Zong's face changed, and he prayed to look at the sword death, his mouth squirmed several times, and he didn't say anything after all.
As the scout of Huan Guo said, if there is no accident, Nancheng District can only see the end of tomorrow. And the Huan State army and Zhang Chu's veterans, who have not yet been in the war, can become this accident. As long as one of the two parties makes a move, the crisis of the city wall will definitely be solved, and countless Zhang Chu recruits will be saved.
However, from noon to the present, countless messages for help have been sent, and the veterans of Zhang Chu who had gathered in the middle of Chen Cheng had been standing still, so what confidence did Deng Zong have to ask King Huan to send an army of Huan to assist the city wall?
"It's come to this, hasn't General Deng figured it out yet?"
Looking at Deng Zong's performance, Jian Yan knew what he wanted to say, and couldn't help but shake his head and ask. After a pause, without waiting for Deng Zong to answer, he looked at the battlefield of the city wall on the left and right, and quickly said to himself: "This is not a royal city wall, but a flesh and blood city wall poured with the flesh and blood of the people of a country!" ”
…,
"Hey............"
Deng Zong opened his mouth speechless and sighed.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Chu's recruits was not as good as that of a well-trained regular army, let alone the mighty Great Qin Tiger Army. In particular, willpower, endurance, mental strength, etc., are far inferior.
In the first battle, Zhang Chu's camp could still rely on the Wangcheng-level city wall and try their best to make up for the gap between the two sides.
Now, after a long time of fighting, many Zhang Chu recruits have not participated in the battle, but they have been broken by the tragic atmosphere, emergency rhythm, continuous war drums, bloody smell, etc., and more and more recruits are going crazy. The little half-recruits had become mentally numb, and rushed up the walls like the walking dead, like moths to a fire......
This is not to say that the soldiers of Zhang Chu's camp are disloyal and cowardly, but human nature, which is the biggest difference between recruits and veterans.
"Smack, smack......"
Looking at the silent Deng Zong, the sword attack stopped, and he didn't say more, but secretly sighed and patted Deng Zong on the shoulder. Turning to leave, he instructed left and right as he walked: "Edict: Those who do not have a military order in their bodies should rest in place and recuperate." Break through at the beginning of tomorrow! ”
"Whoa!" The personal greedy wolf guards quickly responded to their promises and went everywhere to give orders.
Although King Huan did not say it explicitly, the object of the order was obviously the army of Huan State, and the soldiers and people of Zhang Chu who were arranged to break through together.
"In addition, the military camp of Ling Yu Ji has important matters to discuss. Tell me, do your best, no one is a savior! ”
Walking up the stone stairs, Jian Yan paused, looked at the tragic and chaotic situation under the city, and added.
With the tragedy of the battle of Chencheng this time, it is the best opportunity and place for military training, and those who can cross it safely definitely have the potential to become elite soldiers.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Yu Ji left Jian Yan's side and tried her best to treat the wounded in Zhang Chu's camp without stopping for a moment.
There is no doubt about Yu Ji's healing ability, but the southern city wall is from east to west, and it takes several hours to trot, and the injured are even more tidal. Even the sword and the greedy wolf guards and the two ink powerhouses can't affect the overall situation, how many people can Yu Ji save no matter how strong she is?!
The sword needs to be recuperated to deal with the real battle of tomorrow, and Yu Ji is the guarantee of the elite of the Huan Kingdom. (To be continued.)
