According to the concept of the people of the world, from Pengcheng as the boundary, Huaibei Pei, Chen, Runan, Nanjun and other places, it is called Western Chu, and the East China Sea, Guangling, Wudi and other places east of Pengcheng are East Chu, and Yuzhang and other places south of the Great River are South Chu, which is the land of Sanchu.

As the church of Western Chu and Eastern Chu, Pengcheng is needless to say the importance of its status and location, especially in the case that Runan and Nanjun, which originally belonged to the land of Western Chu, were occupied by Qin.

Therefore, it was very important for the state of Chu to defend Pengcheng.

It is precisely because of this that even if the state of Chu has set the strategy of gathering elites on the west road, attacking the Wei army, and exchanging time for land on the east road, and then the Qin army holding each other, it still has to gather heavy troops to defend in Pengcheng, and these cities in Shan Father and Pei County can be lost, but important towns like Pengcheng must not be captured by the Qin army.

When the Qin army came along Surabaya, they attacked the city all the way, and in less than a month, they occupied almost the city in the Surabaya Valley, and then approached the city of Pengcheng.

During the period when the Qin army swept through the Surabaya Valley, Pengcheng had also made sufficient defensive preparations, the city walls were repaired and reinforced, and various barriers were built outside the city relying on rivers and hills, which were guarded by elite soldiers, as if the thirty miles around Pengcheng had been transformed into a huge military base.

On a hill on the periphery of Pengcheng, Yang Ming stopped here with a team of personal soldiers, looking at Pengcheng at the end of his sight, his eyes crossed the barriers, it was not easy to pull out such fortresses, and the last Pengcheng was even more troublesome.

It can be said that as long as the defenders inside Pengcheng do not make mistakes, the Qin army will not be able to capture such a city in a short period of time, or even if it can be done, Yang Ming will not do it, because the price to be paid is too great and not cost-effective.

However, if you don't attack Pengcheng, wouldn't it be just in the heart of the Chu army, and the Chu army wants to drag down their 100,000 Qin troops with the Thunder Leopard Army and tens of thousands of Wu Yue's soldiers, which is too much to take for granted.

"Who is the defender of the city?" Yang Ming asked Liwu beside him, although this intelligence officer is not in the establishment of the Qin army, the role he plays at the critical moment cannot be underestimated.

"It is said that Xiang Yue, the eldest son of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, is not famous in Chu State, and is regarded as a tiger father without a dog." Liwu replied.

"Doesn't the tiger father have a dog?" Hearing this, Yang Ming couldn't help laughing, the tiger father can do without a dog, but what if it is not the tiger father, but the dog father?

"Master, I think the defense of this Chu army is very tight, it should be regarded as a master soldier, right?" Liwu, who had never left Yang Ming's eyes, naturally saw the contempt in Yang Ming's expression, and couldn't help but remind.

"I can only say that I am qualified, and if I say that I am a master, it depends on who I am for." Yang Ming retracted his gaze and said, Pengcheng is not easy to attack, but why does Yang Ming have to attack?

War, in the absence of a better choice, how to frustrate the enemy's plan is also a suitable choice, and the current Pengcheng is also the same for Yang Ming.

"What about the master?" Liwu asked.

"For me, nature is average, and it can even be said that it is full of flaws." Yang Ming said with a smirk smile.

Pengcheng's defense is very good, and it can even be said that it is invulnerable, but is there really anything invulnerable in the world?

A thing, from this point of view, it may be perfect, but if you look at it from another angle, it may not be, although the peacock screen is gorgeous, but what if you look at it from behind?

The Chu army can be said to have achieved the ultimate in defense in Pengcheng, but this also shows that the Chu army has used most of its strength in defense, so relatively speaking, they have lost the ability to attack.

Yang Ming didn't need to attack the city at all, according to the topography of Pengcheng, according to the defense system of the Chu army, Yang Ming only needed to use 30,000 soldiers and horses to isolate Pengcheng into a lonely land, and at that time, it was not the Qin army attacking the city, but the Chu army thinking about how to attack.

At that time, although the Qin army did not have a fortified city like Pengcheng, the Chu army also did not have the offensive ability of the Qin army.

"Where's the flaw?" The relationship with Yang Ming is not just a departure between superiors and subordinates, and at this time, you can naturally ask your own doubts.

"Anyway, I'll tell you a story." Yang Ming turned sideways and looked at the departure dance in front of him, in this military camp, it was originally a ninety percent departure dance, but it already had a hundred points of attraction.

"Story?" Li Wu was stunned, and then he was curious.

"This story spans almost 400 years." Yang Ming said, but added another sentence in Yang Ming's heart: I didn't say whether this story was a story more than 400 years ago, or a story more than 400 years later, anyway, it really spanned more than 400 years.

"In this story, there is a disciple of the soldier known as a genius, after receiving the military order to block the enemy, he led the troops to a place called Jieting, after arriving, he observed the terrain, and felt that the place of Jieting is so high that it can be defended according to the mountain, and when the time comes, if the enemy army comes to attack, he will deliberately use the soldiers and horses under his command to be condescending, occupy the terrain, and beat the enemy. Yang Ming flipped through his memories and said to Liwu.

"Well, that seems right, right? The condescending terrain is pretty good. Li Wu hesitated, logically speaking, there is really no problem in doing this, but logically speaking, since Yang Ming has asked so, there must be a problem, but where the problem is, Li Wu can't figure it out for a while.

"It's true, but he sees only himself, but not the enemy, so does the enemy really want to do what he wants? What if the enemy does not attack, but forms a camp at the foot of the mountain to defend against each other? Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"At that time, he can also go down the mountain and attack, right?" Liwu is not convinced.

"But in that case, the offensive and defensive forces will already be changed, and then the initiative will be in the hands of the enemy." Yang Ming said.

"The most important thing is that that person does not have the courage of ten thousand people, and the defense can be foolproof with his mind, but the offense does not have the ability to turn the soldiers under his command into the sharpest sword, so the result of waiting for him is only to be trapped to death, to be besieged, only in the siege, he launched an attack again and again in vain, and finally ended in a fiasco." Yang Ming used the Dao.

The matter of Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion can be described as a deep memory for Yang Ming, especially after Yang Ming joined the army, the countless wars recorded in the annals of history in his memory, Yang Ming dare not forget, how could Yang Ming not understand the meaning of the lessons from the past?

War is a mental contest, not what you think is what you want, and the military strategy formulated is also formulated according to the enemy's situation, rather than being in the big tent, looking at the map, and arranging a big war clearly.

The Chu army's defense in Pengcheng was perfect, but since Yang Ming already knew this, why did he use the lives of his soldiers to hit his head and break the bloodstream?

Yang Ming can use tens of thousands of troops to set up camps and barriers on various transportation points on the periphery of Pengcheng, completely cut off Pengcheng's external contacts, and turn it into a lonely place, when the time comes, Yang Ming, who still has fifty or sixty thousand troops in his palm, will completely grasp the initiative, and when the time comes, whether it is to join forces with the Wei army to the west, to attack Xiang Yan of the Chu army, or to the north, to sweep the land of the original Lu country occupied by the Chu State, it is a feasible thing for Yang Ming.

That's why Yang Ming said that Xiang Yan's son can't be called a tiger father without a dog, or that Xiang Yan, who is a father, can't be called a tiger father, although he can be called a good general, but that's all.

When Yang Ming was observing Pengcheng, on the walls of Pengcheng, the Chu army was also observing the movements of the Qin army.

As the defensive side, although the Chu army knew that they were by no means the opponent of the Qin army in the field battle, they relied on the city and the barriers, but they were not without the power to fight, so even if the Qin army had already hit the city, there was still calm in Pengcheng, they were all elites in a hundred battles, who was more timid than whom?

On the city wall, a young man wearing a strange set of armor stood on the city wall, his palm resting on the female wall, and his eyes were in the Qin army outside the city like a dark cloud.

He was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and strong, and the armor on his body was not ordinary at first glance, especially behind it, there were several short spears stuck in his back like a peacock opening a screen.

This armor is called the Seven Seas Jiaolong Armor, it is rumored that hundreds of years ago, there were strangers in the land of Wuyue who hunted a Jiaolong in the river, and dug out a piece of strange material that looked like gold and non-gold, like jade and non-jade from the belly of the dragon, and then there was the most powerful armor forging master at that time to use this as the material to cast such a set of battle armor, which was named the Seven Seas Jiaolong Armor.

The Seven Seas Jiaolong Armor, the texture is light, but the sword is invulnerable, the sword mentioned here is not an ordinary sword, but a famous sword, it can be said that it is truly a armor in the body, and the blade is added without fear.

And this is not the most miraculous thing about the Seven Seas Jiao Dragon Armor, the most miraculous thing about the Seven Seas Jiao Dragon Armor is that its material can be adjusted according to the shape of the owner, teenagers can wear it, and adults can also wear it.

Such a warframe could not have appeared in reality, but in this specious world, it is taken for granted.

And the person who can wear the artifact of the Seven Seas Jiaolong Armor must be extraordinary, and this young man is not powerful, he is the son of Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, the young patriarch of the Xiang clan, and Xiang Yue, the lieutenant of Wujun County of the Chu State.
