Before the 600,000 allied troops of the Han King forced Korea, the Chu army had already stepped into the territory of Qi.

In order to quickly end the battle and quell all the rebellions, Xiang Yu divided the army into four routes, and all four routes marched at the same time.

One of the ways Long and led to Zhao to quell the chaos.

As for the remaining three roads, they were all spread out in the Qi country.

Xiang Yu personally threw 150,000 elites, drove straight in, and forced Linzi. Zhong Liwei and Ji Bu each led the way, responsible for sweeping the cities that were unwilling to surrender along the way, but under the division of troops, in just half a month, most of Langya County south of Qi State had been captured by the Chu army.

The military strength of the state of Chu was too strong, and the defenders along the way could not resist it at all.

The Chu army not only has amazing combat power, but also has the largest number of famous generals.

In the face of the menacing Xiang Yu, the State of Qi immediately fell into a very passive predicament, and the news of the fall of cities was like snowflakes, constantly drifting into the Qi Palace in Linzi.

"Ji Bujun and Zhong Li's army have broken through eighteen cities successively!"

"Now Langya County is almost under the control of the Chu army!"

"Xiang Yu led 150,000 elites, and they are coming to Linzi at the fastest speed, according to their marching speed, they can reach Linzi City in five or six days!

Tian Heng's subordinates are like clouds, and there is no shortage of people with excellent riding skills, they can send the collected news to Linzi as soon as possible, so that Tian Rong knows the latest situation.

Although I knew that the Chu army was strong!

But it's so strong!

Tian Rong originally thought that Xiang Yu would fight to Linzi, at least it would take nearly two months, who knew that Xiang Yu would break through all the defensive lines in front of him in less than half a month, and the total number of Qi troops was about 300,000, all of which began to prepare for combat near Linzi.

Linzi City is a big city that has been renovated for hundreds of years!

The city is high, the walls are thick, the ditches are deep, and the food is abundant, it is by no means an easy city to attack!

Throughout history, there are many examples of relying on thousands of guards to defend the lonely city and block hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, such as a general like Zhang Han, who can stop Han Xin in Yongcheng for nearly ten months, and without any support, and the troops are also absolutely weak.

That's where the defender comes in.

Generally speaking, as long as the generals have sufficient quality, as long as the city is in concert, even if the corpses outside are piled up in front of the city as high as the city wall, they may not be able to break through the city.

The grain reserves of Linzi in Qi State are enough to last for several years!

Armor, arrows, oil, boulders and other war resources are abundant!

Tian Rong even concentrated all the forces of Sanqi near Linzi, making it clear that he wanted to use Linzi as the backing to fight to the death with Xiang Yu!

The Qi army is full of food and cooperation every day, and the Qi people are also working together to fight against the Chu people, on the other hand, the Chu army in just half a month, from Pengcheng all the way to Linzi, the Third Route Army broke through the city to twenty or thirty, non-stop, soldiers do not stop fighting, how can this situation break Linzi?

In fact, the situation is far from that simple!

Tian Rong knew very well how terrible Xiang Yu was!

No general in contemporary China can directly threaten Linzi City, but Xiang Yu can do it, no army in contemporary China can quickly conquer Linzi City, except for the Chu army!

Xiang Yu is the commander, and the Chu army is exhausted.

Whether this situation can be kept in Linzi has to be a big question mark!

It is not an exaggeration for Qin Ge to call Xiang Yu a humanoid nuclear weapon, no matter how strong the city wall pass is, in front of Xiang Yu, who can even break through Hangu Pass with one blow, can he withstand the destruction and attack of the overlord gun several times?

But just when Tian Rong was at a loss.

Suddenly, he heard another message.

Tian Heng personally came to report: "Under the banner of avenging Emperor Yi, the King of Han recently completed the alliance in Luoyang, and the Han army is claimed to be one million, and the actual scale is at least 600,000 or more. From the time I got the news, the Han army was preparing to send Yang Zhai and Chaoge, and I believe that at this time, Korea should have been taken. ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Tian Rong was in good spirits.

He hurriedly asked, "What is Yingbu's reaction?"

There was no reaction, the king of Jiujiang did not move, it seemed that he wanted to watch the fire from the other side. ”

"Okay! great!" Tian Rong laughed when he heard this: "Heaven will not kill me!"

There were four or five hundred thousand rebel Chu troops in Qi and Zhao, and Xiang Yu was busy just to quell the Qi and Zhao rebellion, and now the king of Han organized an army of six or seven hundred thousand to copy his back road.

Once Pengcheng was directly threatened.

That's a backyard fire!

As soon as Pengcheng was broken, the Chu army was in chaos, and Xiang Yu had to go back to fight the fire.

Otherwise, the base camp will not be able to hold it, and no matter how strong the army is, it will become a kite with a broken string!

Therefore, as long as you hold on for a few days, the Chu army will naturally retreat, Linzi City is a country of Qi for hundreds of years, and all kinds of ancient organs and formations are by no means easy to break, plus hundreds of thousands of troops, Tian Rong thinks that it can be supported in a short time!

He immediately brought General Qi, including Zhao Kuangyin, over to discuss countermeasures.

"General Zhao doesn't know what to do?"

"The last general thinks that two things should be done at once!"

"Oh, what are those two things?"

"First, we should start spreading rumors that half-truths and half-truths are half-truths and half-truths, announcing to the outside world that the princes of the world have risen up one after another, among which Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, is surrounded and occupied by the million-strong army of the Han army, and the Chu army has been cut off from supplies and grain and grass...... All these can not only blow the morale of the Chu army, but also stimulate the fighting spirit of our army. ”

Zhao Kuangyin paused and continued.

"Second, we should not only strengthen the defense line of Linzi and prepare for a decisive battle with Xiang Yu's elite, but also divide the Chu army as much as possible to weaken the Chu army. The Chu army was divided into three groups, and Xiang Yu's 150,000 troops alone were enough to pose a threat to Linzi, and they could not wait until Zhongli's army and Ji Bu's army arrived in Linzi to form an encirclement. ”

Tian Rong and Tian Heng glanced at each other.

Tian Heng asked at this time: "How to stop it?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It's still too late, the king should send an elite army, taking advantage of the fact that the battle of Linzi has not yet begun, go around to the rear of the Chu army to cut off the front and rear armies of the Chu army, so that Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei can not arrive at the battlefield in time, once the Chu army can not meet the division, and is shocked to hear that Pengcheng is in danger, it will inevitably be in chaos, and we will win without a fight!"

Zhao Kuangyin did not know this information before.

actually came up with such an old-fashioned strategy immediately, this guy really makes people dare not underestimate it.

Tian Rong glanced at Tian Heng, Tian Heng nodded and said: "What General Zhao said is the essence of the soldiers, Xiang Yu's lone army has committed a taboo in the army, if the front and rear armies are cut off again, relying on the 150,000 army, it will be difficult to conquer Linzi in a short time." ”

Tian Rong Dayue: "Then General Zhao will personally lead the 60,000 troops in Jiaodong to carry out this important task immediately, and be sure to cut off the Chu army and buy time for Linzi." ”

"What? Let the last general go, but this ......"

Zhao Kuangyin's brows immediately furrowed, and he looked very embarrassed.

Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei each led an army of 100,000, and the total size of the army was at least 200,000, and Zhao Kuangyin only had 60,000 troops in his hands.

Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei are both famous contemporary generals, and it may not be so easy to rely on Zhao Kuangyin to contain the two of them!

"This matter is indeed a bit difficult, but because of this, only General Zhao can take on this important task in the Qi Kingdom. Tian Rong asked: "Please rest assured General Zhao, this king will send ten fierce generals to act together with you and help you!"

Zhao Kuangyin was in a dilemma.

In the end, he had no choice but to say: "The last general will not live up to his mission!"

Tian Rong let Zhao Kuangyin's troops have at least two benefits in containing the Chu army.

Zhao Kuangyin is quite talented in military affairs, and it is possible to contain the advance of the Chu army, once the Chu army is divided, relying only on Xiang Yu's 150,000 troops, if he wants to break through Linzi, which has double the strength of the army, in a few days, this is simply something that cannot be completed with one arrow no matter what!

And then this great opportunity!

Tian Rong can take the opportunity to weaken Zhao Kuangyin's forces!

Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei are not ordinary people, how can Zhao Kuangyin have no loss? In this way, Zhao Kuangyin's tail will be avoided in the future!

Tian Rong has never been able to fully trust Zhao Kuangyin, because no matter how talented he is, he is just a foreign general, and after Zhao Kuangyin became famous in Jiaodong, his reputation in Qidi has become higher and higher recently, which is not what Tian Rong wants to see.

Tian Rong was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would regret it, so he made arrangements as soon as possible.

"The fighter plane is fleeting, the Chu army is menacing, please set off immediately!"

Zhao Kuangyin withdrew from the tent with a talisman and an order.

Tian Rong and Tian Heng didn't notice that the moment Zhao Kuangyin turned around, a smile inadvertently hung on the corner of his mouth, of course the two of them didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin deliberately acted a little embarrassed, but in fact, it was just to confuse Tian Rong.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to leave the main force of the Qi army.

This can be said to be something he couldn't ask for.

Ji Bu and Zhong Liwei are all famous generals, but it's better than facing Xiang Yu!

No matter how powerful the two of them are, Zhao Kuangyin still has a Han Xin in his hand that can be used!

The size of the army of the two is more than 200,000? This seems to be more than Xiang Yu's 150,000, but in fact, the troops led by Xiang Yu include the Xiang Jiajun, which is super powerful, and the rest are also the elite of the Chu army, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Plop Army!

Instead of dealing with the army of tigers and wolves led by the overlord of Western Chu.

Zhao Kuangyin might as well go out to deal with Ji Bu and Zhong Lixi's troops!

Lao Zhao had long seen that Tian Rong was more ambitious, less energetic, and unable to succeed.

He also had long seen that Tian Rong couldn't tolerate himself at all, if he encountered a crisis situation when confronting Xiang Yu, Zhao Kuangyin's troops would be used as cannon fodder.

However, Tian Rong is not completely straw bale.

This guy ostensibly arranged for the mission general to help Zhao Kuangyin, but in fact, he was indeed arranged to monitor Zhao Kuangyin to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from doing anything against the order, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't pay much attention to this little trick.

On the same day, Zhao Kuangyin set off with 60,000 troops.

Tian Rong began to personally arrange the city defense, the defense of Linzi City is not weak, there are more than ten kinds of formations blessed by the city wall, and Tian Rong also prepares a large army of craftsmen and warlocks, these troops will be responsible for repairing and assisting the defense of the city.

Five million arrows are prepared in the walls and inside the city!

Hundreds of thousands of bows and thousands of ballistae are on standby.

In addition, the moat in front of the city gate was filled with fire oil, a large number of barricades were set up to prevent the cavalry from attacking, and all the Qi troops were well fed and drunk and waited for Xiang Yu's arrival.

Xiang Yu only has 150,000 people!

How could 150,000 people break the city in such a situation?

Tian Rong looked at the busy whole city, and suddenly a thought came to Tian Heng in his heart: "How are the five thousand warriors preparing? Can they play a role on the battlefield!"

"Five thousand warriors are not soldiers, but they are the most loyal dead soldiers!" Tian Heng nodded and said: "Please rest assured, as long as there is a chance, I will lead five thousand warriors and directly rush up to besiege and kill Xiang Yu! Once Xiang Yu dies, no matter how many Chu soldiers there are, they will not be a threat!"

That's right.

Xiang Yu is the soul of Chu Jun.

As long as Xiang Yu dies, the Chu army will fall apart.

Tian Heng himself is the top powerhouse of the ninefold martial arts, there are hundreds of five thousand warriors who are masters of the sevenfold cultivation alone, there are more than a dozen strong people who are eightfold cultivated, and the rest of the weakest have reached the fourfold cultivation, it can be said that the average combat power of the wheel individual, even if it is more than 30,000 family troops, it can't be compared!

If there is any army in this world that can kill Xiang Yu.

I'm afraid there is only this one such force!

That's the 5,000 warriors led by Tian Heng!

Tian Rong suddenly found that although this battle was a great crisis for Qi Guo, it was also a great opportunity. Although Tian Rong didn't trust Zhao Kuangyin very much, Tian Rong believed in Zhao Kuangyin's ability, and he would definitely be able to hold off Ji Bu and Zhong Li's troops.

Xiang Yu's arrogant personality will definitely take the lead in rushing to the forefront.

At this time, as long as you can seize the opportunity to lure Xiang Yu into the trap, you can immediately mobilize five thousand warriors to surround him...... What if it's a martial saint? 5,000 people kill one! Isn't it enough?

Tian Rong once again swept over the troops who were ready to go.

His eyes were full of fanatical color: "We've got to give this shaft a good set!

The more Tian Rong thought about it, the more excited he felt!

This is the first strong feather in China!

If Xiang Yu can be killed in one fell swoop in the battle, Tian Rong is likely to become the first prince in the world, and at that time, not only will the Qi country be revived, but the whole world will be the head of the Great Qi horse!

............

Six days have passed.

Linzi up and down are in full swing of preparation.

On the seventh day, the sun was rising, the fog had not yet dissipated, and it had been silent for several days on the outskirts of Linzi, and suddenly there was movement - the Chu army had finally arrived!

100,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry.

The 150,000-strong army, mainly in red military uniforms, is like a fire in the middle of summer, which is rapidly spreading outside Linzi City with the momentum of a prairie fire.

A loud and urgent horn.

Like a terrifying ghost roaring, the Chu army is like a large maple forest, slowly approaching Linzi City more than 20 miles, they have come all the way here, and the soldiers must have consumed a lot of physical strength.

But suddenly!

The drums and horns of the Chu army are great, and the flag is hunting in the wind!

The cavalry on both wings took the lead, the soldiers of the Chinese army walked in neat steps, and the mountain city wall squad began to advance forward!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Shouting "kill" every three steps.

When Tian Rong and Tian Heng saw this scene, they all showed shocked expressions: "Xiang Yu, a madman, actually attacked the city directly!"
