Chapter 319: Attacking the Imperial Capital of Chu (3 for the Great Fable Reader)
After Long Fen's death, the Chu army once again fell into a leaderless situation, fortunately they were not in wartime, but at this extraordinary moment, Long Fen's death was tantamount to a blow to people's hearts.
Several volunteers rushed to the border pass, only to find that the army of the imperial court had run away, which made their situation very embarrassing.
Go and fight with Wei Jun?
Although these people are all composed of poor people, they are not fools, and the official armies of the imperial court have been beaten south by the army of Wei and fled, can they be the opponents of others?
So, these volunteers were disbanded on the spot and returned to their hometowns.
They don't dare to do some useless work.
In this regard, Zhao Changqing can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold on the border of Chu State.
After Long Fen died, the army was stationed near the capital.
The soldiers of the Chu army met Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu asked them all to fight volunteers.
Soon, the volunteers composed of a rabble were defeated by the imperial army.
But this battle is quite boring, because they are all from Chu, and now the country is being invaded, and they still have to fight with their own people, which will not be easy for anyone to change to their hearts!
After temporarily repelling the volunteers, the ministers of Chu discussed countermeasures with Emperor Chu.
At present, the entire Chu State is panicked.
Seeing that the Wei army was about to attack, but the Chu State did not have a commander to shoulder the heavy responsibility of repelling the Wei State, in such a dangerous situation, it seemed that the only way to flee south or surrender and sue for peace was to do so.
The former Emperor Chu did not consider it for the time being.
At that time, Wei Renzong saw his Chu army under the capital, but he did not escape.
Isn't he as good as this old rival?
Whatever he said, Emperor Chu was unwilling to escape.
It's too embarrassing to do that, it will stink for thousands of years, and it will lose the face of the ancestors.
Sue for peace?
Although this method is also humiliating, it is an expedient measure after all, and it can be considered.
But can Wei accept it?
Either way, it's a matter of trying.
Then the state of Chu sent envoys to the Wei camp.
The envoy to Wei Ying had been worried on the way, and his pants were almost wet.
Who doesn't know that one of the things that the emperor of Wei likes to do the most is to kill the envoys? Let yourself go to the Wei camp, isn't this obviously looking for death?
At the beginning, the envoys who went to the Wei army still had a little illusion, after all, they were going to seek peace, not to find trouble.
Wei Jun shouldn't kill himself, right?
However, when Wei Jun's knife was on his neck, he realized that his idea just now was very wrong.
The Wei State was not willing to sue for peace at all.
Before he died, he vaguely remembered what the Emperor of Wei said to him, "Peace? Okay, all the territory of Chu will be included in the territory of Wei, and Emperor Chu will abolish himself, otherwise, it will be impossible to seek peace, and it will be impossible to make peace in this life." When that's done, pull out the flag!"
In this way, the envoy of the Chu State died in such a daze.
The news of Zhao Changqing's killing of the envoy spread again, and from this moment on, everyone in the world knew and believed one thing, the emperor of Wei did have the habit of killing the envoy.
Not to mention, the preferences of the monarchs and ministers of Wei are quite special.
For the king, he likes to kill envoys, and for ministers, he likes to kill prisoners.
After the death of the envoy of Chu, Zhao Changqing gathered three armies, totaling 500,000 troops, and marched all the way south, preparing to storm the capital of Chu.
As long as the capital of Chu is taken, the war in Chu will be half the success.
Originally, there were 700,000 troops.
The reason why there are still 500,000 troops is because the towns to be garrisoned and captured, as well as the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the war, have caused a kind of reduction in the number of soldiers.
Zhao Changqing had already written to the King of Changlin, asking him to pull all his Changlin army down to the battlefield of Wei Chu.
It's been almost half a year since the training of the new army, and it's time for this army to see blood.
In this way, in order to capture the Chu State, the Wei State really used a million troops.
Those veterans who followed Zhao Changqing all the way have never fought such a rich battle in their lives.
In the blink of an eye, the Wei army was like a bamboo, and had captured the twelve cities of Chu one after another, and finally came under the Xuanxiao Pass.
Breaking this Xuanxiao Pass is where the imperial capital of Chu is located.
Zhao Changqing stood in the barracks, looked at the Yunxiao Pass in front of him, and said: "This pass is just like this, how can I bear the word Yunxiao?"
Bai Qi stood aside and explained: "Your Majesty, this pass is called Yunxiao, because there are towering peaks on both sides of this pass, so it is called Yunxiao Pass. It is said that this pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Jin army, which attacked the Chu State like a bamboo, it was only in front of the Yunxiao Pass, and when it was not broken for a long time, it made peace with the Chu State. ”
Zhao Changqing sneered: "Now that even the Jin Kingdom is ours, can't my soldiers capture a small Yunxiao Pass?" Order the soldiers to rest for three days, and after three days, attack the city!"
Bai Qi solemnly clenched his fists when he heard this: "No!"
It is true that Yunxiao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also true that the morale of the Wei army is high at this moment.
In the capital of Chu State.
Emperor Chu can be regarded as having realized Wei Renzong's mood at the beginning.
The feeling of enemy soldiers coming to the city is really uncomfortable.
But at that time, there was a great prince in the Wei army, so what about now?
Emperor Chu looked at his eldest son, who had long been hollowed out by wine, with a helpless face, shook his head, and sighed: "Everyone, do you have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
What other strategy is there for the Wei army to retreat from the enemy when it descends on the Xuanxiao Pass with an invincible force?
Shouldn't you take advantage of this buffer to run for your life?
Emperor Chu patted his brain, these days, in order to retreat from the enemy, he has been worried, but he has never thought of any good strategy, so he can only sigh: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and they are all mediocre!"
The ministers look at me and I look at you, and they don't dare to speak, at this time, what else can they say?
Be silent!
As soon as the Xuanxiao Pass is broken, it is the time to flee for your life.
Of course, this is only part of the idea, these ministers of the Chu State, a considerable number of people, are still willing to die for the Chu State, just want one to die as he deserves.
Emperor Chu had no choice but to announce his retreat.
At present, he has gathered all the soldiers under Long Fen's command in Xuanxiao Pass, with a total of 300,000 troops, which should be able to protect Xuanxiao Pass from being conquered by the Wei army in a short period of time, right?
Maybe the Wei army can be allowed to withdraw after a long attack?
Originally, in order to resist the invasion of Wei, the state of Chu prepared at least more than 600,000 troops, but after several wars, it was already dead and fleeing, and with the local army near the capital, it raised another 300,000 troops in front of it.
I don't know how long these 300,000 people will be able to hold out in the end.
Distraught, he went to the council hall.
There are many people in the Chu State here, they are all masters, and now, I can only listen to their opinions.
But after listening to it for a while, I found that there was nothing worth commenting on.
These people, when it comes to marching and fighting, seem to be just like that, either fighting to the death or dying in battle.
It's not that simple!
In the end, a senior master of the Chu State Dao Palace said: "Back to Your Majesty, Poor Dao has a plan, or you can retreat from the Wei army." ”
Emperor Chu knew the skills of these people in the Dao Sect, so he hurriedly asked: "This is almost burning eyebrows, let's ask the Dao Master to speak up!"
After the Taoist priest nodded, he said: "In my Taoist family, there is a period of time, called the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, which has a secret secret of Qimen Dunjia, relying on this array, it may be possible to make the Wei army lose troops and retreat." ”
Emperor Chu had heard of the legend that in ancient times, there were strategists who set up earth-shattering killing arrays and killed countless enemies.
But this is a legend!
Can this Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array really be like this?
