Chapter 636: Soldiers Coming to the City
Holai Hongxi's opponent was Lin Bang.
Lin Bang is the younger brother of Emperor Lin Hong of Chu and the person he trusts the most.
Of course, whether it is or not, only the supreme emperor himself knows.
Seeing that the Wei army actually used such crazy methods, how dare Lin Bang be careless, of course, he had to mobilize more people to block the Wei people's attack.
After all, after the battle starts, both sides will have spare power in case of emergency.
At this time, it is his unforeseen need.
But how could Horai Hongxi let him get his wish?
Of course, men were also added to hold back these reinforcements.
On both sides of the bar, it will be reduced to zero.
As the two sides were pulled out in pairs, their back hands were held in.
For Limbang, everything is back to square one.
Seeing that this method of combat could no longer stop the melee, Lin Bang had no choice but to give death orders to these followers, and at the same time lure them to help them at any cost.
If the strength of the two belligerents is about the same, one side is very forcibly dragging the other side, and no matter how carefully arranged by Holai Hongxi, there will always be negligence.
As long as the rescuers are willing to work hard, they can still rescue in time.
As for how to make them desperate, as I said before, move them with emotion and reason, and finally give them a suitable reward.
Earlier, just in case, Emperor Chu ordered people to prepare a lot of resources and hand them over to Lin Bang.
No, it's going to be used now.
However, is this difficult for Horai Hongxi?
Thought that would ruin his plans?
Dream!
Isn't it just chaos? It's simply not too easy.
As long as more people are brought in, see how many resources the Chu army has to impress these capable people.
Therefore, under the competition between the commanders on both sides, more and more soldiers and capable people joined the fierce melee.
As the time of the fierce fighting continued to pass, the scope of the melee on the eastern and northern fronts also expanded, and the pace of the battle between the two armies became faster and faster.
A few days later, the more than a million troops on both sides of the east and north were caught in a scuffle, and the number of daily casualties increased dramatically.
Faced with this situation, the Chu and Wei armies in the south and west were powerless.
It's all come to this point, and even if they want to participate, it's hard to get involved.
Soon, the news spread throughout Da Chu.
Needless to say, both the government and the opposition were shaken.
And for Emperor Chu, this was an unprecedented disaster.
If this continues, no matter what the outcome is, Lin Bang's men will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
What if you resist the Wei army?
Even if Kyoto does not fall into the hands of the Wei army, his world is in danger.
When the Wei army retreats, Mu Liangdao will be his next trouble, even more dangerous to him than the Wei army.
If you can't keep it, the big trouble of Mu Liangdao is still there.
Because, after such a tragic battle, his Longteng Army is no longer the opponent of the Northwest Army in the hands of this person.
And, still face a huge amount of compensation.
Therefore, even before the fall of the capital, Emperor Chu had already panicked, directly ignored the opposition of the courtiers, sent people to ask for peace with Wei, and informed Emperor Wei of Lai Hongxi's self-assertion.
Looking at the battle situation on the southern front, we can see that Holai Hongxi's madness was his personal behavior, not that of Emperor Wei.
And it is impossible for the Wei court to watch its soldiers suffer such heavy losses.
Indeed, when the news reached the Wei State, the Wei government and the opposition were also shocked.
But to the surprise of Emperor Chu, the courtiers of Wei were divided into two factions.
One faction believes that this move, although risky, is a good one.
As for the casualties, they are loyal to their country.
Sacrificing one's life for the country is the glory of all the Great Wei soldiers.
The other faction is naturally strongly opposed.
The reason for the opposition was consistent with the idea of Tuoba Qiong's subordinates, such a melee would only increase unnecessary casualties and was absolutely undesirable.
And Emperor Wei was of course biased towards He Lai Hongxi in his heart, but he didn't express his position, looked at the quarrel on both sides, and used procrastination.
If you drag it out, this war will be over, and their quarrel will lose its meaning, and you don't have to bear this charge, and you will put everything on Horai Hongxi, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Therefore, Tuoba Qiong didn't care about He Lai Hongxi's madness, the Great Chu court pinned its hopes on the Wei court, and the Wei courtiers were arguing, Emperor Wei was watching a good show, and the ten major families were calculating.
Seeing that the Wei army would soon come to the city and besiege the city for the second time, Chu Emperor Lin Hong was completely desperate.
This is a real internal and external trouble!
In the end, he wrote a letter directly to Emperor Wei.
Do what?
Admit defeat!
If you don't fight, you will admit defeat directly.
In that way, his Longteng Army could still retain most of its strength, plus the escort of the hunting team subdued in Wuping City, which was enough to deter Mu Liangdao's Northwest Army, and he only needed to pay the indemnity for the defeat.
Although this move will make them lose the hearts of the people, it is better than losing the country.
It's a pity that his wishful thinking played well, but he underestimated the ruthlessness of Emperor Wei's heart.
When they received the letter of peace from Chu, the Wei courtiers were again divided into two factions, one faction believed that everyone had taken the initiative to sue for peace, so there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
The other faction felt that the defeat of Chu Capital was completely different from the current situation, and they directly captured the royal family and courtiers of Chu State.
Call them naïve?
The family of the Chu State will inevitably make a force to resist, and then the Wei State will not have the advantage?
Don't be afraid, let's stop in moderation, don't move the ten families, and the others move casually.
Greatly weakening the power of other families and royal families is to invisibly enhance the power of the ten major families, and they are afraid that it will be too late to be happy, so they will borrow our hand to weaken their opponents for them.
That's a lot to kill!
Subsequently, the two factions began to quarrel again, this one thinks you can't do it, and the other thinks you don't do it.
And Emperor Wei, he is very helpless!
There is reason on both sides, both for the sake of Da Wei, who does he listen to?
In the middle, they will discuss the results with the mud and wait for them to come up with the results before making a decision.
The courtiers of Chu State waited and waited, and they never waited for Wei's reply.
I can only write a letter of state.
Of course, there is no follow-up either.
Although the state of Chu invited a powerhouse at the level of a great grandmaster to run errands back and forth, it greatly shortened the time for exchanges between the two countries.
But the difference between the two countries is more than 6,000 miles.
With such a long distance, even if it is a great grandmaster, it will take a long time, and the Wei State is still dragging on.
However, the pace of the battle between the two armies was extremely fast.
In the end, before Emperor Chu could wait for a reply from Wei, he first got the news that the Wei army had arrived in the city.
Wei often harassed Chu and neighboring countries, what were they best at?
It's siege warfare.
And Da Chu is still facing a situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, whether this city can be defended, Emperor Chu himself has no confidence.
