Great Chu was founded two or three hundred years ago, and it has been strong for nearly two hundred years, and has never been invaded by foreign enemies.

As a result, in his hands, natural and man-made disasters continued, and he was invaded twice in succession, and even the country was surrounded.

Last time, the siege had not been completely completed, and after he sued for peace, the enemy withdrew, but only lost some silver.

But this time, Emperor Wei did not give a reply for a long time, it was obvious that he was going to attack the city, to capture the state of Chu, and did not accept his own admission of defeat.

What can you do?

can only let the soldiers defend the city gate, while trying to persuade the ten major families, hoping that they will take the lead and join forces with the whole country to block the enemy's tiger and wolf army.

For this reason, he ordered in advance to marry the eldest princess of Da Chu to Yang Huai, the young patriarch of the Yang family, the first family of Da Chu, hoping that the Yang family would take the lead and persuade the families for him.

Let them help defend the city.

In the end, the Yang family accepted the marriage, and they did help convince the others.

But the so-called persuasion, in the eyes of discerning people, is to fool the royal family, including Lin Hong himself.

The Yang family's typical example is that yang is against yin.

The eldest princess still married, but she did superficial work in persuading the family.

And their symbolic 500,000 taels of silver, as well as those who are capable of auctioning, are even more a drop in the bucket for the huge Wei army.

His favorite princess got married, but in exchange for such a thin 'dowry', Lin Hong hated the Yang family to death, but he couldn't do anything about them.

I only hate that the family is too large and disperses his imperial power.

These families are simply a stumbling block to the prosperity of Great Chu.

It's a pity that the ancestor of their Lin family, Chu Gaozu, the founding emperor of Great Chu, failed to bring them down, leaving such a disaster for future generations.

He asked himself if he didn't dare to match Emperor Gaozu, and there was no way to eradicate these scourges.

In fact, when he succeeded to the throne, their Lin Chu Dynasty was no longer as strong as it used to be.

has already picked up a mess, even if he has great ability, he is powerless to return to the sky.

And in this siege war, Da Chu also has a disadvantage due to strategic mistakes.

Of course, there are also unavoidable disadvantages.

That is the lack of troops in the city.

Let's talk about this unprecedentedly huge war between Chu and Wei, at the beginning, the Wei army was 900,000, the Chu army was 1.3 million, plus the capable people on both sides, a total of more than 2.5 million people were dispatched.

And as the war gradually entered a stalemate, both sides began to increase their troops.

Fought all the way and consumed all the way, and fought for nearly twenty months.

By the time the northern and southern armies of Wei met and made peace, there were still more than 2.3 million people on both sides.

How much was that sacrificed? Two hundred thousand?

No, more than two million six hundred thousand.

Among them, Da Chu accounted for more than two million.

Where did the Chu State come from so many soldiers?

Most of them were, of course, new recruits.

Now it is a time when the drought in Dachu is serious and there is a shortage of food, and many of the victims have joined the army in order to have food and clothing and to survive.

Even if it is almost a life to join the army under such circumstances, it is better than starving to death.

You must know that the people who have starved to death in the past few years do not know how many times they have died in battle.

At least, when fighting, there is food to eat and a piece of clothing to wear.

There were more than 2.3 million people left, and after this period of offensive and defensive battles, only more than 1.7 million people remained.

In just over ten days, nearly 600,000 casualties!

And among these 600,000 casualties, the proportion of dead and wounded is also seriously uncoordinated.

The lightly wounded were basically healed and sent back to the battlefield, so the wounded were all seriously injured, and the proportion was not large, and most of them died directly on the battlefield.

During the offensive and defensive battles, the battle between the two sides has been in a state of stalemate.

As a result, when they were about to approach the capital, the Chu army was constantly watched by the Wei army, even day and night, so that they could not enter the city at all to prepare for the future defense of the city.

The city gate is not so easy to open, as long as they enter the city, there is the huge army of capable people of the Wei State, they don't want to stop the Wei army.

Moreover, their own army will either enter in large numbers, or they will not want to enter at all.

It is simply impossible to enter only one part.

Isn't that what was left out to be pressed and beaten?

It is undoubtedly a fool's errand to disperse your own forces.

Because of this, the Chu army was also completely stopped outside the city.

As a result, there were no soldiers to increase in the city, and there were only less than 100,000 Imperial Forest Army.

What about outside the city?

A total of 1.7 million men on both sides began the final and most difficult contest - a real siege battle.

Although the Chu army still had nearly fifty or sixty thousand more than the Wei army, the strength of the two sides was greater than before.

Because most of the remaining elites of the Wei army are elite, but the elite of the Chu army is not much, especially the more than 400,000 troops led by Lin Bang, and most of the elite has also been consumed by him.

With such a gap, only with the help of less than 100,000 Imperial Forest troops in the city, is it possible for the Chu army to block the elite division of Wei?

Can't stop it!

Even though Chu is known as the first city in ancient times.

Although Chu has a thick and tall city wall more than ten or twenty meters high, it is a powerful fortress built for it.

With an army of capable people going to war, this doesn't seem to matter.

This siege battle, which lasted day and night, lasted for three days.

During this period, the Wei people continued to attack the city wall, and they were beaten down by the Chu army.

Such a situation has been staged over and over again in this magnificent and unparalleled Chu Capital City.

Until the blood outside the city flowed into a river and the corpses piled up, until the Chu army in the city could not stop the footsteps of the Wei people, until the Chu capable people outside the city were blocked by the capable people of the Wei State, and the aid was too late, the Wei army successfully attacked the city tower.

The horn does not stop, the battle does not stop, and the fight continues.

Finally, in the desperation of the Chu army, the city gate was lost, the Wei army broke through the city, and the Chu army outside the city chased and blocked.

The center of gravity of the fighting shifted from outside the city to inside the city.

The Wei army wantonly burned and looted in the city, the Chu army chased desperately, and the people fled desperately.

And the people of the ten major families are watching the play, and the people in Miyagi are anxious.

A hundred people and a hundred things.

Originally, the most prosperous and stable place under the feet of the Son of Heaven in the entire Great Chu was the Gyeonggi Heavy Land, and after the closure of Guangcheng, it became the second place of bloody slaughter, a place of purgatory on earth, and even surpassed it.

Of course, under the deliberate guidance of the generals of the Wei State, the Wei army skipped the place where the ten major families and the Zheng family were located.

But can the ten major families have no business in the huge capital?

When the Wei army is raging, it is inevitable that these places will be involved, right?

Don't worry, they themselves closed all business before the Wei army stormed the city.

Moreover, these shops bear a clear sign that belongs to their family.

In the past, these symbols were their glory.

Now, it's their war-free cards and talismans.

So, how much can they lose?

Heavy losses are others, and the nobles of the family who are slightly weaker than the ten major families.

Of course, the worst is the people at the bottom.
