Chapter 3389 Attacking the hinterland of Chu State
In this way, after Feng Lingtian discussed the battle plan with the members of the coalition, he began to lead his army to attack Yanzhou City in Chu State.
Yanzhou City is the most important pass of the Chu State. As long as you can break through it, it will be easy to invade the Chu State!
Due to the large number of coalition soldiers and the fact that Yanzhou City was already in chaos, the coalition forces quickly captured Yanzhou City.
After conquering Yanzhou City, they quickly invaded Youzhou and occupied Youzhou.
Then, the coalition forces continued to advance southward. They were as powerful as chopping melons and vegetables, and soon they invaded the hinterland of Chu State.
After breaking through the hinterland, they can quickly enter Shengjing City and attack the imperial palace.
Chu State, Imperial Palace
"Report——" Early in the morning, when Emperor Hongyuan was sleeping soundly with his concubines in his arms, the voice of a messenger sounded outside.
"what happened?"
Hearing this sound, Emperor Hongyuan was frightened and quickly sat up.
The concubine next to him quickly shrank into a corner, not daring to say a word.
At this time, Eunuch Xu had already walked in anxiously, "Your Majesty, it's bad, something big has happened!"
"What happened?
Eunuch Xu, why are you so anxious?"
Emperor Hongyuan said tremblingly, a bad premonition already overflowing in his heart.
Eunuch Xu had a sad face and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you'd better listen to the messenger!"
"emperor."
At this time, the messenger soldier had already walked in with a single stride, knelt on the ground with one knee, and said, "Feng Lingtian's coalition forces have successively conquered our Yanzhou and Youzhou in less than a month, and now they have arrived at
Qizhou.
If they wait until they conquer Qizhou, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"What?
How could they be so fast?"
As Emperor Hongyuan spoke, his body trembled, and a strong sense of fear arose in his heart.
Eunuch Xu said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, Qizhou is close to our hinterland. If the coalition forces attack, wouldn't the imperial city be in danger?"
"Eunuch Xu, where are the generals and soldiers I sent?
Didn’t I tell them to defend themselves against the enemy?
How could they be so incompetent that they could allow the coalition forces to invade?"
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
Xu Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, General Li Linwei and others have led troops to defend against the enemy, but the enemy has too many people and they are all well-trained. Our soldiers are no match for them.
Now that General Li and the others have been completely defeated, they need to ask the Emperor for support!"
"What?
These trashes, didn't they say they were very powerful and could definitely help me defeat Feng Lingtian?
I didn’t expect to be so incompetent!”
Emperor Hongyuan said, already so angry that his heart ached.
At this time, the messenger soldier said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has too many troops and horses. They are really powerful! But our soldiers are running away and running away, and there are countless casualties. They are no match for the enemy."
Li...General Li Linwei said that they simply cannot resist so many coalition forces. He hopes that the emperor can order His Highness Prince Li to go into battle. He said that only His Highness Prince Li can deal with Feng Lingtian."
"King Li?"
Emperor Hongyuan gritted his teeth. Will he have to rely on Chu Xuanchen for the rest of his life?
The messenger hurriedly said: "Yes, only His Royal Highness King Li and his Xuance Army can fight Feng Lingtian.
Your Majesty, our soldiers have suffered many casualties now, and more than a dozen cities have been occupied by Feng Lingtian. If we don’t send King Li to fight as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous."
Emperor Hongyuan really didn't want to beg Chu Xuanchen.
But what the messenger said made him nervous, and his heart was very high.
He thought for a while and had to say: "Okay then! Eunuch Xu, hurry up and draw up the decree. Hurry up and send the whip to South Vietnam, asking Chu Xuanchen to bring his Zhennan Army to help me defend against the enemy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Xu said quickly.

South Vietnam
At this time, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue also received news that the coalition forces were attacking Chu.
When Chu Xuanchen heard that Feng Lingtian organized the five-nation coalition and attacked Qizhou, his hands were already ruthlessly intertwined.
"How unreasonable! This Feng Lingtian actually dares to entangle the coalition forces to attack the Chu Kingdom while I am not in the capital!"
Chu Xuanchen said coldly.
Thinking of his country being captured by the enemy, and thinking of the tragic deaths of the people and soldiers, he became extremely angry.
Yun Ruoyue also clenched her fists, with a livid face, "This Feng Lingtian is really hateful! But the enemy invaded, where is the emperor?"
Doesn’t he have any strategy to defend himself against the enemy?”
Mo Li who was next to him said hurriedly: "Princess, Feng Lingtian called. Originally, General Dong and the others took the initiative to apply to go to war, but the emperor was afraid that they would have military power and that they would defect to the prince with their military power, so they were not allowed to go to war at all.
Then, the emperor sent a few generals with mediocre qualifications to fight. These generals had no combat experience at all, and they had not won many battles, so they retreated one after another and suffered a complete defeat."
Feng Qingyang said: "According to the news from the spies, these generals with mediocre qualifications are actually Yun Xiang's people. It was Yun Xiang who recommended these people to the emperor, so the emperor will appoint them."
"Yunqing?
Unexpectedly, at this time, he is still thinking about fighting for power and profit. It turns out that the life and death of the people in his eyes are not as important as his own interests."
When Chu Xuanchen mentioned Yun Qing, his eyes were full of hatred.
Feng Qingyang said: "Your Majesty, not only Yun Xiang is this kind of person, but most of the officials in the court now are this kind of person.
It is clear that the enemy is almost at home, but they are still fighting secretly in secret, fighting to the death for their own interests, and some are even taking advantage of this war to make money in private. They don't care about the country and the people at all."
Mo Li said angrily: "Yes, these people are really too selfish. Don't they know that once the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, no matter how much money they have, it will be useless?"
"These people only have interests in their eyes. Maybe they will turn around and join Feng Lingtian.
These traitorous ministers cannot be trusted at all."
The wind whispered softly.
Mo Li said bitterly, "It's a pity that General Dong and others are so patriotic, but they were attacked by those treacherous ministers. The treacherous ministers were afraid that they would have military power, so they spoke ill of them to the emperor and prevented them from going to the battlefield.
The emperor is also jealous and suspicious, and does not trust General Dong. He only listens to the slanders of traitorous officials. If this continues, Feng Lingtian will sooner or later invade the palace and occupy the Chu Kingdom!"
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "Impossible! As long as I am here, I will never let this happen! Mo Li, Feng Military Advisor, go and rectify your armaments quickly. I want to
Lead the Zhennan Army to defend the enemy!"
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's attitude, everyone gave him a thumbs up.
Feng Qingyang said: "Okay, with the prince going to fight and the princess's newly invented firearms, I believe we can drive away these enemies."
"It's not about running away! Feng Lingtian, Dongfang Wuxiang, and that Baili You, how dare they jointly attack the Chu Kingdom.
This time, I will make them regret it!"
Chu Xuanchen's face was livid and he gritted his teeth.
If he dares to touch his country and the people of Chu, he will not let these wolves go.
