Chapter 584: Dumping the Nest

The Wei army finally withdrew from Chu, reassuring the courtiers of Chu who thought that the catastrophe had finally passed, and began to rebuild the former glory of Great Chu and comfort the people who had been traumatized physically and mentally.

Of course, whether it is brilliant or not, they themselves know in their hearts.

What the people who are rebuilding in full swing do not know is that their enemies, after finding out their details, are brewing an unprecedented war of aggression.

Before the state of Chu could regain its vitality, only half a year later, the newly evacuated Wei army made a comeback.

Moreover, this time the momentum is even greater.

The two Wei armies were each raised from the original 300,000 male army to 450,000.

Each army is also supported by 70,000 powerful ables.

A total of 900,000 Wei troops, plus 140,000 capable people, were advancing towards the Chu army.

In the entire land of Chu, killing was regenerated, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled.

At this time, not only the royal family of Chu State, but even the ten major families couldn't sit still.

In order to protect the home and country on which he depended, not long after, an army of 180,000 capable people set out from Wuping City, divided into two groups, and faced the two Wei armies.

And because of the support of the ten major families, the Chu Emperor no longer worries about whether Mu Liangdao has a heart of disobedience, so he mobilizes an army that can be mobilized, and under the collective wisdom and efforts of the ministers, formulates the most perfect strategy to resist the Wei army.

As for the various forces, the same is true.

This time, it is really related to the survival of the family and the country, it is not the moment of their intrigue, whoever dares to make any small moves at this juncture is the enemy of the entire Great Chu, and everyone will attack it.

Needless to say, these people did their best to cooperate.

Although there are still selfish motives, such as how to find ways to preserve strength and reduce their losses.

But the heart of disobedience was temporarily suppressed.

How to survive this disaster of losing the country is the only goal of all Chu people.

It was also at this moment that the entire Great Chu finally achieved the unity of the government and the opposition.

However, after so many years of natural and man-made disasters, this dynasty has long been riddled with holes inside, even if they have the heart, they are powerless!

After all kinds of patchwork, almost looting the family's foundation, he finally scraped together 1.3 million troops for Da Chu.

This included 200,000 troops withdrawn from the border guards, 150,000 garrisons from prefectures and counties, and 120,000 newly recruited soldiers.

As for why they dared to transfer back the border guards, it was natural that the Wei army had withdrawn a lot of troops from the border defense, and the Chu State border guards mainly defended the Wei State.

The enemy's border guards are less, and they, of course, can also be withdrawn.

Hey, this is strange, since the enemy's border defense is less, why don't they take this opportunity to capture the other party, so that the border of Wei is lost, and they have to withdraw their troops from Chu?

All because the border guards of the Chu State were already difficult to defend against the other side, even if the other party withdrew more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, they still did not dare to fight back.

Let's talk about the 1.3 million troops.

The strongest combat capability is undoubtedly the border guards, after all, they have been fighting against the Wei army for a long time, but many of them are recruits who have been in the army for less than two years.

followed by the Southwest Army and the Sichuan Water Army, these are all soldiers who have fought in the south and the north, and have also fought many battles with the Wei army, and their strength is not weak.

However, because of Emperor Chu's suspicions, they rarely fought on a large scale, and lacked military salaries, rations, and ordnance, weapons and equipment, and although they had rich combat experience, the age of the soldiers was generally high, and they were not as strong as Shaozhuang, and their strength was weak.

In order to cultivate this army, Emperor Chu also spent a lot of money, but except for the last time, he basically did not fight with the Wei army a few times, and the actual combat experience was even more lacking than the previous two, and it was established late, so it was weaker.

The other garrisons mobilized had never fought regular battles, and they were more in contact with bandits and rogues, and their combat capability was once again improved.

As for the strength of those who are conscripted, not to mention.

Such an army, even if it is four or five percent more numerous than the Wei army, is no match for the well-armed and well-equipped Wei army.

Moreover, most of the elites in the Wei army were born in the Nanlin Hunting Ground, while there were not many people in the Chu army who were capable of their own abilities, and the perception of the two was even greater.

In Da Chu, joining the army is to eat for a while, or to be forcibly conscripted, and those with strength and ability are better than joining the army casually outside, unless they are mixed to the level of generals, if not not, at least they have to be centurions.

Therefore, the strength of the two sides will be so different.

The same is true for the army of capable people, although there are 40,000 more on the side of Da Chu, the strength is not stronger than the other party.

After all, people have been in the Nanlin hunting ground since they were eight years old, and they have been under militarized management during their growth period.

And they, who were born in Wuping City or a big family, may have been trained early, but this is a lack of work after all.

Most of them are from ordinary people, and it is basically impossible for them to start undergoing tempering like Wei Jun.

Just like Xue Langjing, he only started to get into hunting when he was a teenager, and he was really cultivated at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

On the battlefield, the two armies are no longer fighting on two lines.

Although it is still in the north and south directions, the battlefield is centered on these two lines, radiating to all sides, almost fully blooming, and slowly spreading from the west to the east.

Don't look at the last time when He Lai Hongxi had to burn and loot every time he entered the city, but his looting efficiency was not as high as that of Tuoba Qiong.

This time, he also learned wisely and used Tuoba Qiong's looting mode.

It's just that after the woman who robbed her property, she would still burn it.

All of a sudden, the state of Chu once again became a purgatory on earth, and the people were even more angry.

This continued until the arrival of the Chu army and the Wuping City powerhouses, although their participation still could not prevent the city from being breached.

Seeing that the place where ordinary people could barely survive even if it was not comfortable enough turned into a slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye, the tragic situation of the compatriots seemed to completely inspire compassion in their hearts.

Especially when someone takes the lead and someone instigates, this kind of compassion is infinitely magnified, so that these capable people who come for whatever reason no longer turn a blind eye, and also let the ferocity in their hearts be completely released.

In the end, he fought with the Wei army almost with the determination to die together, so that the Wei army was really unable to advance for a while.

Naturally, the situation on the entire battlefield has also changed dramatically.

The Southern Route Army, still led by Tuoba Qiong, advanced slowly and firmly, but the Northern Route Army of Lai Hongxi not only stopped, but from time to time, it may be forced to retreat, and the two armies of Chu and Wei completely entered a state of stalemate.

Such a situation not only made He Lai Hongxi, who had been industrious for a period of time, angry, but also made Emperor Wei furious and scolded the waste.

Of course, there are also ten families with the same headache.
