Chapter 41: The King of Chu Flees (Subscription Requested!)
"Wu Jun took Baiju and sent Yun Mengze?"
Fei Wuji suddenly got up and roared in disbelief: "How can this be!"
Historically, the army of Wu at this time was only more than 50,000 soldiers, and in this world, there were 280,000 soldiers.
How?
Not much!
You must know that small countries such as Chen Guo can mobilize 200,000 troops, and Chu State can easily count by one million, and the strength of the whole country is not two million.
But as Sun Wu said before, the vast territory of Chu is too big.
Big, it means that the line of defense is elongated.
Big, it means that there are many cities, and soldiers must be sent to guard them everywhere.
Therefore, it seems that the strength of Wu is only the eleventh of Chu, but on the local front, in fact, the strength is equal.
But Fei Wuji never imagined that the Chu army would be defeated so quickly and so ruthlessly!
The defending side has always had a huge advantage, resisting more than ten times as many enemies as abound, not to mention the formation guard.
Although the Great Array of the Fire God of Chu is not as exquisite as the Great Han Dynasty's Heavenly Movement Array, and the layout is quite rough, but each city is also the eye of the array, and hundreds of nodes are connected, weaving into a huge net, covering the land of Chu.
This is the essence of the top powers!
Therefore, only by gradually eroding the corner of the Great Array, and thus tearing a crack, can it be possible to advance.
Unexpectedly, now, they drove straight in, all the way like a bamboo, and the Chu army was caught off guard, and they were stunned up and down.
"The king recruits adults, enter the palace to discuss matters!"
At this time, a guard hurriedly entered the room to give a warning, and his tone was full of fear.
Obviously, the king of Chuping in the palace also received the news.
"Don't panic!
Fei Wuji comforted his subordinates, but he was actually panicked.
After he overthrew the Wu family and the Bo family, he installed a large number of cronies, who filled their pockets in various places, looted them wantonly, and then enshrined them, making the internal affairs of the Chu State a miasma and weakening the army.
This is the root of traitorous ministers misleading the country, they themselves may be quite capable, but they do not follow the right path, and the people gathered around them are naturally flattering, greedy officials, up and down, like countless moths, slowly hollowing out the country.
Strong on the outside and dry on the inside!
In this case, the Wu people invaded the hinterland and turned the world upside down, and it was unrealistic to drive them out by relying on the Chu army alone.
The next moment, Fei Wuji sat down again, so that Yin Daquan began to transfer troops.
While mobilizing the main force of the Chu army to reinforce the royal capital, he also ordered the five vassal states of Dun, Hu, Shen, Xu, and Tang to send troops to help in the war.
These five small countries all border with the state of Chu, and they survive on their noses, and each small country has less than 100,000 troops, but the five combined, can also send 200,000 troops, even if it is not enough to compete with Sun Wu's elite soldiers, it is not difficult to delay some time, and then defend according to the danger, and then Jin Qi should have to intervene.
After giving the order, Fei Wuji made up his mind and entered the palace to meet the king of Chu.
Before entering the hall, he saw the temple maids coming and going, constantly carrying treasures, Fei Wuji's face changed slightly, and he had a bad conjecture in his heart.
"Aiqing, you're finally here, let's go with the widow!"
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, the king of Chu muttered.
Fei Wuji's mouth was full of bitterness.
The most mediocre king of Chu in the past dynasties is the famous King Chu Ling, who is really perverse and crazy.
Now the king of Chu Ping, who forcibly married his daughter-in-law, is the younger brother of King Chu Ling, and the two brothers have been in good spirits all the way, but King Chu Ling died too miserably, and the lessons of the past are in front of him, and King Chu Ping is a little restrained.
And their grandfather, King Chu Zhuang, is the undisputed Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, drinking the Yellow River, winning the Central Plains, and bringing the Chu State to the peak of the most prosperity.
The problem is that Fei Wuji's power is completely tied to this King of Chuping, and he can only persuade bitterly: "King, you can't go, Yingdu is the first male city in the world, defend according to the danger, even if the Wu army can't be captured for a few years, but only a little more than a month, the reinforcements from the five countries will inevitably arrive and drive the Wu army out!"
Why didn't he want to run away?
Once Wu Zixu enters the city, Fei's family will not be spared!
But reason told Fei Wuji that no matter how powerful the Wu army was, even if it could reach the royal capital, it would be almost impossible to break through the royal capital.
This is where the core lifeblood of the Chu State is located, the main formation eye of the Great Array of the Fire God, and it is suppressed by the ancient spirit object Fire Spirit Bead!
The Chu people worship the Rong clan as their ancestors, advocating red fire, and have been worshiping for thousands of years, and the fire spirit bead has had a certain connection with its national fortune, and the degree of use is by no means comparable to the wind spirit bead in the hands of Zhan Nao.
So as long as you hold on, there is still a chance to turn the tables in this battle.
"I can't hold it!"
The king of Chu thumped his chest and paused: "Then the Wu State has a map of the topography of my Great Chu mountains and rivers and the defense of the city, and they know the weaknesses of each formation very clearly, including the Great Flame God Array!"
Fei Wuji's face changed drastically: "There is such a thing?"
"This is the news that Yan (yān) sent back the division, he has won part of the remnant map, the troops are stationed, and the weaknesses of the formation are all on it, not a lie!"
King Chuping was able to return to Chu from Chen State to seize the throne, and he was not completely mediocre and incompetent, and said bitterly: "Fortunately, Wu's naval army is entangled on the front line, we can go to Shouchun by water, and then gather troops from all over the country!"
"This is indeed a way out!"
Fei Wuji's heart was also shaken.
Both of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and now they are just looking for a high-sounding excuse.
However, Fei Wuji always felt that it was unwise to give up the royal city, and just as he was hesitating, a temple man's face was distorted, and he rushed in with a rolling belt, shouting:
"King, Wu Jun is coming!"
......
Under the city of Yingdu, 100,000 Wu troops, the flag fluttered, and the power shook all directions.
The people of Chu have long been scattered and fled, and outside the city, which was endless in the past, on the empty land, only this great iron army remained.
Their steps are strong and powerful, and they are rolling up the dust!
Their expressions are cold and solemn, with boundless slaughter!
Their will is high-pitched and passionate, revealing blood and fire!
When they were only a few miles away from the city gate, the three generals came out in line, looking at the city, their eyes spitting out scorching flames.
The guards at the head of the city couldn't help but tremble just by seeing these incomparably fierce eyes.
Because these three are—
Wu Zixu!
Wu Zixu and Bo Yao were originally the children of the Chu family, the nobles of the princess, and naturally recognized that the only one who could stand side by side with Wu Zixu was Sun Wu, the general of Baisheng who made the Wu army frightened!
After more than ten years, the survivors of the Wu family and the Bo family have returned.
Standing in front of the capital of the Great Chu King, he unscrupulously flaunted his madness and bloody bravery, stopping and waiting.
Waiting for the final horn of attack to sound, just like the last death knell of the Chu State.
"Ahh
When the king of Chu ascended to the top of the city, he was so frightened that he retreated in a hurry just by looking at it.
"The king can't hold it!"
Fei Wuji looked at the panic of the people, and when he thought of the news from the front line, he also gritted his teeth and said:
"King, let's go!"
