Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanchen really came with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he felt a little panicked.
He had already lost to Chu Xuanchen, and now he was defeated again and suffered heavy losses. At this time, he felt a little nervous.
Chu Xuanchen has so many troops. It seems that he can no longer attack forcefully. He must continue to defend and continue to fight Chu Xuanchen.
His army occupies a favorable position in Yanzhou City. Unlike Chu Xuanchen in the wild, sooner or later he will be short of water and food. He does not believe that Chu Xuanchen will not be killed if he is exhausted!
Thinking of this, Feng Lingtian summoned the generals.
As soon as the generals arrived, Feng Lingtian pointed to the military sandbox map in front of him and said: "Generals, Chu Xuanchen should be attacking the city soon. From now on, we must make all preparations for military defense.
"
Zhang Long said: "Okay, but the prince doesn't need to worry.
Attacking the city is inherently more difficult than defending it. Our city is so impregnable that if the Chu army wants to attack it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
Chen Wei said: "Yes, and the Chu State has long been exhausted after traveling here for a long time; and the weather is very cold, and the environment outside the city is harsh and they are prone to diseases.
As long as we guard the city gate well, prevent them from attacking, and consume their energy time and time again, we will win most of the battle."
Feng Lingtian said: "But the scout said that the Chu army has been transporting food. If he has enough food, this will not be a problem."
Zhang Long shook his head: "Not necessarily! Prince, this place is far away from the mountains of Chu State and the road is rugged.
No matter how he transports Chu Xuanchen, how much food can he transport?
Even if it arrives, there will be a day when it is used up.
Our current supply of grain can last for half a month, and every half month, we will send people to transport grain to the city. Our grain can be replenished in time. If we are in trouble, we can still rob the people of Chu.
Unlike Chu Xuanchen, who has his back in the mountains, once there is no food to eat, there will be nothing, and we can kill him with just our consumption!"
"Yes, let's switch from attack to defense and defend the city gate.
After a few months of waiting for Chu Xuanchen, he will definitely run out of ammunition and food, and will be isolated and helpless.
In addition, it is the middle of winter, so if they don’t starve to death, they will freeze to death!”
Chen Weidao.
After hearing what the two said, Feng Lingtian nodded, "You two are right, wait until the Chu army cannot survive and its morale is low.
I will personally lead the army to fight out and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Now that the Chu army is in great momentum and their hatred is strong, it is of course not advisable to confront them head-on, lest they lose their troops and generals.
For them, it was indeed more beneficial to defend the city, so he would formulate a series of plans to defend the city to prevent Chu Xuanchen from attacking the city.
Unfortunately, after he was fully prepared, Chu Xuanchen did not come to attack the city.
Chu Xuanchen knew very well that it was easier to defend a city than to attack it. With the same number of soldiers defending a city, it might take ten times as many troops to attack it.
Moreover, a strong attack would be very disadvantageous, so of course he would not attack the city directly!
He never fights a battle that he is not sure about. When he fights, he attacks the enemy's heart first, and waits until the opponent's psychological defense is broken before sending troops. Only in this way can his own casualties be minimized.

Chu State, Imperial Palace, Jinluan Palace
"Report——" When Emperor Hongyuan was going to court, he suddenly heard the sound of a report coming from outside.
It has been a long time since the civil and military officials heard the sound of the memorial. As soon as they heard the sound, everyone's hearts were in suspense, and everyone looked at the entrance of the main hall.
Emperor Hongyuan was also very nervous. He was really afraid of hearing the news of the Chu army's defeat again.
As soon as the soldier ran in, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory in King Li's first battle!"
"What, a great victory?"
Emperor Hongyuan's voice was trembling.
The soldier said: "Yes, Your Majesty.
Tiansheng's army led 20,000 people to attack our army, but our army counterattacked. King Li led Xuance's army and killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers.
Our young general Meng Zheng even broke into the enemy's army single-handedly and directly took off the head of the enemy's general Wei Guang, which completely boosted the morale! Subsequently, our army defeated the enemy's armor and abandoned it, resulting in heavy casualties. Our army's first battle
Big win!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a brief silence in the court, and after the silence, there was a sound of excitement.
