Grandpa Guo really did not disappoint the subjects of the capital.

The next day, the Jin army organized men and horses to set up ladders at two city gates to attack the city.

Jiang Zhongxing personally stood on the city wall and commanded, and repelled wave after wave of attacks of the Jin army with bows, crossbows, bed crossbows, and trebuchets.

At night, Jiang Zhongxing took the risk of sending a team to attack the camp, burning dozens of ladders of the Jin army to attack the city, killing more than 100 people.

The successive victories boosted the morale of the Great Chu army for a while, and even the people of the capital were full of confidence.

The people brought their own vegetable oil to the city, collected stones everywhere, and sharpened the branches for the soldiers who defended the city.

Defending the city and fighting, unconsciously, the capital has been guarding for a month.

The leader of the Jin army on the East Road surrounding the capital was the second prince Wan Yanzhang.

Now the Great Jin army has suffered a lot of casualties, and the grain and grass are also consumed severely.

The Great Jin Dynasty went out this time, and there was not much grain and grass with them, all of them were looted all the way, and now they have been besieging the capital for a month, and there has been no progress, and the loss of the Jin army is not small, and Wan Yanzhang is a little impetuous.

In the evening of this day, the military intelligence officer came to report again: "General Yu, the divisions of King Qin from all over the Chu State have come to this side of the capital, and the fastest army is estimated to arrive within six days." ”

Wan Yanzhang became more and more irritable.

When King Qin's army reaches the end of the day, it will be his army that will be besieged.

The hateful Western Jin Route Army, which set out at the same time as him, is now still blocked by the army of Great Chu on the edge of the Luan River, and has been unable to come to join him for a long time.

The military intelligence officer continued: "The spies also sent a message that the Emperor Taishang of Great Chu and his concubines are now hiding in Youcheng, a city in the southeast. ”

Wan Yanzhang's brows suddenly moved, "How far is Youcheng from here?" ”

The military intelligence officer said: "More than five hundred miles." ”

More than 500 miles, fast horses can be reached in two days.

Wan Yanzhang narrowed his eyes, "Since the Emperor of Great Chu has run away, why don't you run away." ”

The military intelligence officer said: "The subordinates received the news that the emperor and the concubines were in a hurry, and they couldn't walk much in a day. ”

Wan Yanzhang nodded and instructed the heralds, "Gather the generals of all departments and come to my tent to discuss matters." ”

After the herald left, Wan Yanzhang discussed with General Guo, who surrendered in Youzhou.

The generals came over quickly, and Wan Yanzhang pointed to the map hanging in the tent and said, "Now, the Emperor of Great Chu is here. ”

"It is only more than 500 miles away from the capital, and from here, you can bypass several cities on the road and go directly to Youcheng."

"And the emperor traveled, and only brought three thousand palace front troops."

"As for the soldiers defending the city, there are only one or two thousand."

"What is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city, this way, I think you all know in your hearts, what Da Chu can still use is the forbidden army in the capital."

An officer cautiously asked, "The general wants to—"

Wan Yanzhang narrowed his eyes, "Send three thousand elite light cavalry to attack Youcheng and capture the emperor, and when the time comes, don't worry that the gates of the capital will not be opened!" ”

The officers below glanced at each other, and one by one scrambled to say: "General, the ministers are willing to go!" ”

"I want to go!"

"I want to go!"

After Yan Zhang looked around, he stretched out his hand and pointed at a general and said: "Order three thousand elites, bring two days' worth of dry food, and set off immediately, within five days, I want to see the Emperor of Great Chu!" ”

"Remember, stay alive!"

The general knelt down and placed his right hand on his left chest and saluted, "I will definitely complete the task." ”
