Now that the state of Chu is fighting on two fronts, the army used is nearly 400,000, and the people eat and chew every day, which is enough to hollow out a hill, and the logistical pressure can be imagined, and the king of Chu has sent people to urge him to march many times.

This is also Xiang Yan's real sense of commanding more than 100,000 troops, and the famous generals, before the expedition, Xiang Yan was full of confidence, vowed to defeat Lian Po, become a famous general in the world.

But as soon as the two armies fought, Lian Po gave him a problem.

The Chu army's shouting and scolding for many days had no effect, and they were ostracized by the local Chu people, and their morale continued to decline.

After a few more days, something more serious happened, deserters appeared in the army, and some Chu people in the Huaisi region were already dissatisfied with the Chu State, and seeing that the Chu State had no way to take the Zhao State, they were heartbroken and fled by night.

Although there were only a dozen soldiers who fled, which was completely negligible compared to the 150,000 army, it was a huge blow to morale.

After Xiang Yan saw the household registration of the deserter, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered all the soldiers from the Huaisi area to be put together and placed next to the Chinese army, and he personally guarded them.

Although this method temporarily solved the problem of desertion, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the Huaisi area.

……

"Almost!" Seeing that the Chu army had not sent people to the front of the battle to scold for two consecutive days, Lian Po suddenly realized that the time had come, and immediately ordered all the generals in the general to summon them.

"Is the general ready to attack?" As soon as Le Cheng entered the door, he couldn't wait.

"Not bad." Lian Po nodded.

"The last general, please be the vanguard." Le Cheng hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

The rest of the generals also asked for their lives.

"Listen to the order." Lian Po looked at Lecheng.

"The end will be." Le Cheng didn't expect Lian Po to really call him by name, so he hurriedly walked to the center and said with his fists clenched.

"This general ordered you to attack the Chu army camp tent at the end of the night, and the commander Youyun Iron Cavalry sneaked up on the Chu army camp, and the general had only one request, to kill the Chu army camp." Lian Po handed the order to Lecheng.

The sun is about to rise, the sky is not yet bright, and people are immersed in sleep, which is the most lax and tired time of the day, and the most suitable time to attack.

Le Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took over the general's order, and said solemnly, "The last general will definitely complete the task."

"Flame Bear." Lian Po looked at Yan Xiong, "You command the Xuanjia Army, together with General Lecheng."

"No." Yan Xiong said.

"Jia Yan." Lian Po said to Jia Yan again, "After the defeat of the Chu army, there were three directions to escape, one was Xiaxiang County, one was Fulisai, and the other was to go south along Surabaya. Xiaxiang County is Xiang Yan's hometown, and it is also the only county town in the vicinity that has not surrendered to my Zhao State, Xiang's prestige there is very high, and Xiang Yan is likely to flee to Xiaxiang County after the defeat and defend the city. Ben will order you to lead an army of 10,000 and ambush on the road from Pengcheng to Xiaxiang County. If Xiang Yan appears, be sure to kill him."

"The last general will obey." Jia Yan clenched his fists and said.

"This road southwest of Pengcheng leads to Fu Lisai, and Qiang is in charge, and you lead 10,000 cavalry to ambush here, waiting for the Chu army to be defeated." Lian Po looked at Qiang.

"No." Qiang said with a fist.

"Although the Chu State did not send a naval army this time, the waterways also had to be defended. Lian An, you led 3,000 cavalry to ambush here. If the Chu army escapes along Surabaya, you only need to stop it for half an hour, and our army's support will arrive." Lian Po said, pointing to a place on the map.

The Chu army was the least likely to escape by water, so it was difficult for him to make meritorious contributions, so Lian Po gave this task to his son.

In fact, Cai Ze has brought himself into Xiang Yan's thinking in the past two days, simulating several escape paths, none of which escaped by water, but the two armies are fighting, and no one can say that they have no last resort, they can only say that they are as prepared as possible.

"General, in this way, we will only have more than 20,000 troops left." Cai Ze said with some concern, although the Zhao army is more elite than the Chu army, the Chu army has a full 150,000.

"There are more than 20,000 soldiers who are enough, and my Zhao soldiers should be one as ten." Lian Po

said arrogantly, all the elites he brought this time, and there were even two army soul legions.

"Our army will win this battle!" The generals said in unison.

"Alright, let's go down and get ready." Lian Po waved his hand and said.

As night fell, the demoralized Chu army returned to the camp and fell asleep grogily. The soldiers in the camp leaned together listlessly and chatted.

When they set out on the expedition, the government promised them that they would be able to go home before the summer harvest, but now that the summer harvest is about to begin, the war is still far away.

They don't care whether the war can be won or not, and they don't care how many military merits they can get, they just want to go home and take care of the farmland, and only when the farmland is taken care of will the family not starve.

It's a pity that even this request, the Chu State can't meet them.

Time passed little by little, and Yuehua spread a layer of silver veil on the ground, and the night was extremely quiet.

There was already a lot of snoring in the Chu army camp, and the patrolling soldiers also stopped, leaning against the wall and yawning.

"The Chu army is not on guard." Le Cheng stood in the distance, looking at the Chu army camp shrouded in moonlight, his heart was overjoyed, and he waved his hand and said, "Everyone obeys the order and charges with the general!"

After speaking, Le Cheng waved the horse lance forward, tightened the horse's belly with his legs, and led the Youyun Iron Cavalry under his command to rush to the Chu army camp.

The terrifying defense of the Iron Hoof of the Dark Cloud smashed the antlers and fences into pieces, and even the Iron Tribulus terrestris failed to cause damage to the horse's hooves due to the talent of eggshell defense.

"Die!" Before the soldiers guarding the camp could react, Le Cheng had already rushed to the front of the camp, and the horse lance in his hand was raised high, turning into a black streamer and completely devouring it.

The door of the Chu military camp was shattered in an instant, and sawdust flew all over the sky.

Le Cheng took the lead, followed by the Youyun Iron Cavalry, and the black aura enveloped it, and the entire legion rushed into the Chu army camp like a high-speed moving mountain.

"Enemy attack!"

"Zhao Jun robbed the camp!"

The terrible sound spread throughout the Chu army camp, but it was too late at this time, countless Chu soldiers rushed out of the camp tent in horror, and some soldiers were even naked, without even taking weapons, and died under the iron hooves of the Zhao army.

"Shoot the arrows, let them go at once, and stop them." Xiang Yan reacted quickly, and soon after the Zhao army rushed in, he led the pro-guard army to rush over and organize the Chu army to counterattack.

After all, Xiang Yan's personal guard army is the army in front of the Chu State, even if it is compared to the Zhao army, it is not much inferior, in the face of the sneak attack of the Zhao army, it did not panic like other Chu troops, but formed a military formation, blocking in front of the Zhao army, the soldiers in front raised their shields, and the soldiers in the back opened their bows and arrows and shot towards the Youyun Iron Cavalry.

Dangdang!

The overwhelming rain of arrows fell on Zhao Jun, making a dense and crisp collision sound.

Six thousand Youyun iron horses, no one fell off the horse!

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, how can he say that his personal guard army is also a first-class army of the Chu State, except for Zhu Rongwei and Danyang elite soldiers, down

It's his personal guards, even if it's the personal guards of other generals, it's just a grade with him.

Now even Zhao Jun's defenses can't be broken!

"Keep firing the arrows!" Xiang Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were round.

"Hahaha! The clouds are ironclad, I am invincible! Kill through the Chu army camp!" Le Cheng shouted loudly, waved the horse lance in his hand, and slapped the Chu Jiang in front of him out.

"The Shadow Cloud Iron Rider, I am invincible! Kill through the Chu army camp, rush!" All the Youyun Iron Cavalry shouted in unison, and the voices converged together, like rolling thunder, smashing the only morale of the Chu army into powder.

"General, general, no, the Zhao army rushed in from another place." At this time, the herald hurried over from a distance, and after seeing Xiang Yan, he didn't wait to dismount, and shouted.

Xiang Yan's face was extremely pale, and his right hand was on the hilt of the sword, he was still negligent after all.

When he first arrived at the front line, he had to personally patrol every night, arranging various defensive lines to prevent the sneak attack of the Zhao army

The vigilance of the city is also gradually decreasing, and the number of night patrols is constantly decreasing, until the matter of night patrols is handed over to the adjutant general.

Even he is so lax, the state of the soldier can be imagined.

All this ...... After all, there is a price to pay!

"From now on, we must never make such mistakes again." Xiang Yan secretly made up his mind, and then ordered, "Pass the order, all the large battalions that were broken by the Zhao army immediately give up defense, and all the large armies will go all out to defend the remaining large battalions. My Chu army has 150,000 people, and even if one person spits on it, it can drown the Zhao army."

"Qu Wu, you lead the sword and shield soldiers to block the cavalry of the Zhao army."

Zhu Rongwei and Danyang elite soldiers are not there, and even the pro-guard army can't break through the defense of Zhao's cavalry, the only way is to use sword and shield soldiers to limit the speed of the opponent, and wait until the speed is completely reduced, surrounded and annihilated.

If Xiang Yan was facing an ordinary cavalry, this method would indeed be very useful, but he was facing the Youyun Iron Cavalry, and the sword and shield soldiers were just papier-mâché shield soldiers in front of the Youyun Iron Cavalry.

The horse's hooves were raised high, and with the blessing of the force field distortion, he stepped fiercely towards the big shield of the Chu army, and the wooden shield wrapped in iron exploded instantly, and the Chu army behind flew out upside down, knocking down several soldiers one after another before stopping, and they were already out of breath.

Not only did the speed of the Shadow Cloud Iron Cavalry not slow down, but it became faster and faster as the battle intent soared.

"Tribulus terrestris, arrange the thistles and antlers." Xiang Yan said urgently.

"General, it's useless, the antlers and thistles outside the camp have all been trampled by the Zhao army." A soldier said.

"This ......" Xiang Yan was a little flustered when he faced this situation for the first time after all, but he didn't have time to think about it, and another soldier rushed to ask for help.

"General, general, something is wrong, the other legion sent by the Zhao army is the Army Soul Legion, we ...... We're no match at all!" The soldier said in a panic.

Puff puff!

At this moment, the arrows that covered the sky and the sun covered the Chu army camp from a distance.

Lian Po and Yan Zhou were standing in the distance, and behind them was the shooting battalion that was waiting for them.

"General, when are we going to attack?" Yan Ju asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, when the Youyun Iron Cavalry can't open the situation, or the Chu army is about to collapse, you will lead Zhao Fei to attack again."

Looking at the appearance of Youyun Iron Cavalry and the Xuanjia Army rampaging in the Chu army, Lian Po couldn't help but think of how similar Zhao Guo was to the Chu Army when he encountered the Black Armor Army of Qin State a few years ago, the same helplessness and helplessness.

Now that just a few years have passed, Zhao Guo is no longer the Zhao State of the past, and now it is the turn of Chu State to feel the helplessness of Zhao State back then.

Compared with Lian Po, who was calm and relaxed, Xiang Yan was inevitably anxious.

"Where did the Legion of Souls come from? Didn't Zhao Guo only have two army soul legions, Zhao Feiqi and the Praetorian Guard?" Xiang Yan asked urgently.

"General, it's really a military soul legion, just go and see it." The soldier shouted.

Xiang Yan could only hand over this place to the deputy general and lead the guards to support the past.

At this time, Yan Xiong led the Xuanjia Army to kill Zhengshuang, in the past, the Xuanjia Army appeared on the battlefield, facing either the Black Armor Army, or the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers, even if the war was won in the end, the Xuanjia Army would suffer heavy losses.

Now the Xuanjia Army has finally come to the pole and met the soft persimmon.

The weak Chu army was nothing compared to the enemies faced by the Xuanjia army in the past, and they only needed a simple big shield to move forward, and with a wave of the heavy sword, the enemy in front of them fell to the ground.

After repeating it a few times, the Chu army collapsed and ran frantically towards the rear, completely different from those desperate Qin troops.

"Array, release the arrows!" After Xiang Yan arrived here, he immediately ordered.

"General, don't!" When a legion commander heard this, his eyes were full of horror, and he hurriedly said.

But it was already too late, the pro-guard army was worthy of being the elite of the Chu State, and they reacted quickly, and as soon as Xiang Yan's voice fell, the arrows over there had already been shot.

Dangdang!

The arrow landed on the shield of the Xuanjia Army, and the crisp sound sounded like raindrops, and not a single Zhao Army fell

Under.

At the same time as Xiang Yan frowned, a terrifying scene happened to him, as if the guards around him had been hit by an arrow, blood flowers bloomed in their chests, and their bodies fell backwards.

A rain of arrows fell, and the pro-guard army was annihilated!

"General, this army of Zhao can bounce off our damage." The Legion Commander said sadly.

Xiang Yan was stunned, his body trembled slightly, two lines of blood and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, his personal guards were either his fellow villagers and friends, or veterans who had followed him for several years, many of whom he could be named, but now because of one of his negligence, all of them died in battle.

"You're trying to break our defenses, too?" Yan Xiong said disdainfully, and with a wave of the halberd in his hand, he blasted an unknown Chu general into the ground, and then led the Xuanjia Army to rush towards Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan's eyes were full of despair, if the Chu army could break through the defense of the Zhao army, he would still be able to play and use some other methods to defeat the Zhao army, but now the Chu army could not even break the defense of the Zhao army.

How will this battle be fought?

Do you wait until the Zhao army is exhausted before you come forward to besiege and kill?

Not to mention that the Chu army could not hold out to that time, even if it could hold out until that time, there would still be 40,000 Zhao troops in the city!

Xiang Yan looked around, Chu Jun had already been frightened by Zhao Jun, and he didn't have any fighting intent in his heart.

"Withdraw!" In the end, Xiang Yan could only order helplessly.
