Li Huangwuxin personally led the army to attack the capital of Western Chu, which originally numbered only 40 million, but he divided it around 20 million to attack various cities in the capital.
With only the last twenty million or so Li army left, even if they were all the Great Li Imperial Guards, there was no hope of capturing the capital of Western Chu.
If we just conquer Tiandu, it is still possible. If we want to capture and control it, there is little hope. Just the street fighting in Tiandu City can bring down and wipe out 20 million rebels!
Li Jun himself knew this, so he acted slowly and slowly towards the Western Chu Tiandu.
The Western Chu court also knew that no matter how hard they tried to hide such a mighty army, it would be difficult to hide it from the informants of various forces, especially in the Western Chu mainland!
So, here comes the problem...
Now the Li army is attacking all the cities in the capital region, sweeping them all the way, and killing a lot of people. Not to mention massacres of cities, nor to leave chickens and dogs alone, the situation is almost the same.
As long as the city is captured by the Li army, all the males, young and middle-aged will be wiped out, the women and children will be kidnapped, and the elderly will be expelled.
In other words, wherever Li Jun passed, the people were inhabited and the city turned into an empty city.
If the Li army continues to do this, the capital of the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty will really become a desolate wasteland.
All of a sudden, a snowflake of letters and memorials asking for help, impeachment, and insults were sent to the Western Chu court, and some of them were sent to the main force of the Western Chu army on the expedition to Da Qin!
Nowadays, the secrets of teleportation arrays have basically been spread. However, teleportation arrays are inherently high-end, expensive, profound and rare things. They require time to figure out, research and reserve, and they have not yet reached the point of widespread use.
The Western Chu Immortal Dynasty also had teleportation arrays, but they were basically small and medium-sized and were not enough to teleport a vast army.
Important cities at the giant city level and above do have large and giant teleportation arrays suitable for teleporting armies, but among the cities in the Gyeonggi region, only the fallen capital and imperial capital... Peicheng has them.
The Western Chu Tiandu does have a super long-range super giant teleportation array, which can even teleport the Western Chu expeditionary army as far away as the Great Qin Heavenly Court. However, most of the elites in the cities of Western Chu have been mobilized, or there is not enough level of teleportation array for teleportation. Even if teleportation
The formation is running all the time, and it can only transport tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of troops in a day, which is a drop in the bucket!
…
Western Chu Tiandu.
Since the emergence of the Li army, Western Chu has been in great chaos, and the capital of Western Chu and the imperial court have become even more chaotic.
Cao Jiu, who was in charge of the local area, was even more worried. He had not slept for days and nights, and was constantly accused of inaction.
The overlord of Western Chu and many famous generals are on an expedition. He is also helpless. He has people, but they are not at the right level. Are you going to deliver food?!
Although Cao Jiu was not a genius who was as smart as a ghost and could see fire like fire, he also knew that with the three melons and two dates left behind in Western Chu, he could not be the opponent of Li Huang and Li Jun!
The expedition to the Qin Dynasty was a century-old plan of the Western Chu Immortal Dynasty. The Western Chu Immortal Dynasty had almost overwhelming power, and the Western Chu Overlord even took away almost all the famous generals, powerful generals, and famous ministers who were good at conquering and fighting.
He wants talent but not talent, wants elite soldiers but not elite soldiers, what can he do?!
However, when the three cities were conquered, Cao Jiu sat idly by and banned the army from leaving the city to attack. The civil and military nobles of Western Chu were still reluctant to accept and understand.
Now that the Li army has divided its forces and radiated to the entire capital, Cao Jiu has not yet taken action. The Western Chu civil and military officials, noble lords, powerful sects, etc. can no longer sit still. In the end, even the elders of the Xiang clan were sent out to persuade him.
If Cao Jiu is ordered to send troops, he should at least rush to support him.
Cao Jiu was extremely helpless. On the one hand, he was dealing with repeated bombings from many forces and ministers. On the other hand, he kept asking for help from the Western Chu expeditionary army. Anyway, he was on his own. He was somewhat self-aware. He believed that he was not an opponent and would not send troops to kill him.
Don't dare.
Until, the remaining big cities in the capital... Xiangcheng, Xiyang City, Sicheng, Lingbi City, and Xiacaicheng were all attacked fiercely, and they frantically called for help.
If we wait any longer, Xichutian will truly become an isolated city!
The Western Chu Expeditionary Force had no choice but to urgently teleport back the famous generals Huan Chu, Chen Wu, Zhou Yin, and a dozen generals.
Huan Chu was a veteran of Western Chu. He was once as famous as Xiang Liang, the ancestor of Western Chu. He was good at using snake spears and was brave and good at fighting. He and Zhou Lan were called the "two generals humming" beside Xiang Yu. However, he was low-key and not too high-profile.
Official title and real power, as well as Huan Chu's current status in the outside world, are all based on seniority. This is not the case, and his combat capabilities are not weak.
Chen Wu, not many people know this name. However, when it comes to General Pu, he is very famous. He is as famous as Yingbu, the great emperor of Jiujiang, who is said to be the first general of Western Chu. His combat power and ability are also comparable to Yingbu.
Chen Ying and other Western Chu generals defected to Xiang Yu at the same time. Unfortunately, their power performance was not as good as that of Ying Bu, and they were only awarded the title of Pu Huang!
Zhou Yin, the Great Sima of Western Chu, had the same position as Taiwei Dali, and was nominally the supreme commander of the Western Chu army. Along with Fan Zeng, Zhongli Mei, and Long Qie, he was rated as the "bone-hard minister" under Xiang Yu. Looking at the overall situation
Extremely strong, but only has certain military capabilities. He is not a brave and famous general, but can be regarded as a civil servant!
Fan Zeng, the overlord of Western Chu and his father-in-law, did not blame Cao Jiu. Instead, he praised and affirmed Cao Jiu's decision!
After the three famous generals were teleported back to the capital, they immediately led their troops to rush for reinforcements and divided the town into three cities...
Mainly Lingbi City, Sicheng and Xiacai City, these three cities cannot be missed.
Lingbi City is the barrier of the Western Chu Heavenly Capital, and is also related to Huaiyin, Huai'an, Yandu, Baima Lake and other important cities in the east of the Western Chu Heavenly Capital.
Sicheng is located in Hongze Lake, which is comparable to the vast ocean, and it is also related to the southeast of Western Chu. There is no room for failure.
Xiacaicheng faces the imperial city of Shouchun, the capital city of Yingshang, and the important city of Ruyin across Yingshui. It has an extremely important strategic position, otherwise the south of Western Chu would easily lose control!
As for Xiangcheng and Xiyang City, they were basically abandoned. They were too far apart and separated by the invincible Li Army. They were out of reach and easy to be ambushed! The level of the teleportation array was not enough. If there were too many, it would be impossible to teleport. It would be a drop in the bucket.
use!
The three famous generals were divided into three cities.
Among them, the Grand Sima Zhou Yin personally led an army of 50,000,000 people and marched urgently to aid the nearest city, Lingbi City.
Huan Chu and Chen Wu teleported directly to Sicheng and Xiacaicheng. The troops teleported slowly. There was no way, the distance was too far, and the day lilies were cold when they ran over. There were also other cities across the water.
On the way to the army's reinforcements, the main problem is that there is a lack of a capable commander. Theoretically, this is not a big problem!
…
Li Huang personally led the army.
Because of the unhurried marching speed, there is still more than a day's journey from Xichu Tiandu, which is neither close nor far.
"Call to King Weitian Zhang Xian and Lord Ya Guo Feng Ya to withdraw their troops and attack the capital of Western Chu!"
"Send an order to Wei Guogong to Ding Yanping, stop the offensive, and lead the army to return to meet the reinforcements from the Western Chu Tiandu..."
Lihuang Wuxin did not know the specific deployment of Xichu, but he naturally paid close attention to the difficulty of siege and the movement of the army.
After giving the order, Zhang Xian and Feng Ya immediately stopped attacking the city and led their troops away.
Wei Guogong Ding Yanping was a little dumbfounded and asked him to lead an army of three million to fight against the reinforcements of Tiandu's fifty million troops.
Although the three million troops he led were elite... the Imperial Guards of Li, but did Emperor Li think too highly of him?! Since they were reinforcements from Tiandu, they must also be elite soldiers and not too weak!
However, military orders cannot be violated, and it is still an imperial edict. Ding Yanping has no confidence and cannot think clearly, so he can only bite the bullet and lead his army back to fight!
It is worth mentioning that Emperor Li did not have much hope of capturing the important city in the capital of Western Chu. He was not interested in drinking!
The opportunity for a surprise attack has been lost, and Xi Chu is a landlord. As long as the guard is not stupid, he can just defend!
