In the wilderness, corpses littered the field. Chi Shu ordered the troops of the Great Khan Empire to find a suitable place to camp. Although Li Chengqian did not verbally angrily scold Fusu, he was still very dissatisfied with him in his heart. He followed Chi Shu's example and ordered the army to find a place to rest.
.
See the situation.
Gongzi Che glanced sideways at Chi Shu and Li Chengqian, and his eyes stayed on Han Xin, his eyes flickering, as if he was asking him what should be done next.
"Your Highness, the armies of the four countries have come to attack after a long distance. The soldiers and horses are exhausted, and coupled with the fierce fighting all night, the general thought that he should order the army to rest and recuperate."
"As the saying goes, sharpening the sword is not chopping firewood. Only when the soldiers of the three armies have sufficient physical strength can they fight to the death on the battlefield. In the battle last night, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties and was severely weakened. I believe they will not attack our army again in the short term.
"
Han Xinxin knew very well that the Emperor of Chu had been working hard to govern, and Nishi City would definitely store up supplies and troops. They came from thousands of miles away, and they were short of men and horses. After last night's battle, they also suffered heavy losses.
But if the army goes straight to Nishi City next, the Emperor of Chu can sit back and welcome it, wait for work, and fight a protracted battle with the armies of the four countries, which will last forever.
They came from a long way and did not have much food and fodder to follow, so they had to attack quickly and fight quickly. If the Chu army continued to avoid fighting and Nishi City could not be attacked for a long time, the commander-in-chief of the Four Kingdoms would definitely be impatient.
Soldiers are afraid of making noise. If it is true as he guessed, as long as the Chu army goes out of the city to counterattack, the armies of the four countries will surely fall apart. With the military talent of the Emperor of Chu, he will definitely have insight into everything. By then, the Chu army will take advantage of the victory to pursue it and attack in one go, and will definitely crush the armies of the four countries.
Danger of siege.
Han Xin is worthy of being a soldier. He is far-sighted, talented and strategic, and has the secret to hide the universe. During the battle between the Eighteen Empires Allied Forces, although he had never met Emperor Chu, the two had secretly clashed. For a military genius like Emperor Chu, Han Xin
Don't dare to underestimate it.
Just like the Chu army's ambush last night, Han Xin had never thought of it, so he felt that the top priority was not to attack Nishi City, but to unify the morale of the armies of the four countries. Otherwise, they would fight independently, and there would be no chance of winning against the Chu Emperor.
.
"Okay, let's follow Commander Han's words and pass on the order of the solitary general, and the army will set up camp!"
The Great Khan's empire also gave up the pursuit of the Chu army, leaving the Qin army alone. The young master Fusu sighed helplessly and whispered in his heart:
"Afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the rear. With so much concern for the left and right, it is simply wishful thinking to defeat the Chu army!"
"If we wait for the Chu army to recover and try to annihilate them again, we will never have another chance!"
Prince Fusu was unwilling to give up. The commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms did not take advantage of the advantage gained by fighting all night, but gave up pursuing the Chu army because he was worried about Zi's false ambush.
The Qin army was not afraid of the Chu army at all. That was because Prince Fusu had such great generals as Si Yi, Xi Jinping, Yuan Hong, Wang Jian, Sima Cuo, Meng Ao, and Wang Ben. However, the forces of the other three kingdoms were slightly weaker.
In addition, Emperor Chu's reputation for terror was far-reaching, so it was reasonable for them to choose to be fearful.
Da da da~
Da da da~
Horse hooves exploded into the sky and whipped the earth crazily. Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Hua Mulan, Xiang Yu, and King Bimeng led their troops to retreat. They fled at lightning speed, only to find that they were not being pursued by the armies of the Four Kingdoms. This made everyone confused for a moment.
water.
"Brother, why did the Qin army and the Han army give up the pursuit?"
Li Cunxiao asked, Bai Qi tightened the reins in his hands, raised his head and looked around, with a wild smile on his face: "Here we go to Nishi City, where a solitary peak stands, and His Majesty's power is resoundingly released. The commanders-in-chief of the four countries are afraid of Your Majesty and are worried about an ambush, so they
Give up the pursuit."
"It's best. Send the order and the army speeds up and returns to Nishi City!"
In the battle last night, the outcome was still undecided. The battle continued until dawn. Although the armies of the four countries had a slight upper hand, Bai Qi did not think that the Chu army was defeated. On the contrary, he believed that the Chu army won the battle on Fengshatan.
With the army of one country facing the armies of the four countries without defeat, and with a huge disparity in strength, Bai Qi believed that the Battle of Fengshatan was an affirmation of the Chu army. At the same time, he believed that after this battle, the power of the Chu army would spread across the mainland again.
Bai Qi thought so, and Emperor Chu who was in Nishi City was also overjoyed. Once upon a time, the Chu army dared to think of fighting against the First-Rank Empire, but now they are invincible with one against four. This is enough to show that the Chu army
of strength.
If all the armies under Lu Bu, Li Jing, Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, and Ran Min were gathered here, Chu would surely win this battle, and it would be easy to kill millions of troops from the four countries.
.............
The stars move, the sky changes, and before you know it, it is dusk, and the rays of light swallow the sky and the earth, covering the entire Nishi City.
The backyard of the General's Mansion.
Emperor Chu sat in the pavilion by the lake, looking up into the distance, staring at the sharp-edged lone peak in front of him, secretly thinking about how to swallow up the armies of the four kingdoms next.
Sudden.
There was a sound of light footsteps behind him. Jiang Shang stepped forward, bowed his fist and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, in accordance with your Majesty's wishes, I have drafted an edict and sent troops to Xuantian City."
"Ziya has worked hard, come sit down with me and have a chat!"
Emperor Chu turned around and saw Jiang Shang's expression of embarrassment, as if he had something to hide. He raised his hand to signal him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said: "Ziya, the armies of the four countries are attacking, but there has been no news from the Heaven-Devouring Empire.
I've been feeling uneasy."
"Ziya understands His Majesty's concern. The Heaven-Eating Empire is the instigator of this battle. They will not stand still just because the Four Kingdoms send troops to attack Chu. They will use Emperor Eating's murderous nature and violent and domineering methods. They must be hiding somewhere, waiting.
Let's give Wu Chu a fatal blow."
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. It always feels too calm, not like the style of Emperor Devouring Heaven."
"Where does Ziya think Emperor Devouring Heaven will target? Li Jing's army from the Moon Worshiping Empire, Xue Rengui's army from the Wuling Empire, or Yue Fei and Ran Min's troops from Xuantian City?"
Emperor Chu frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face. He told all the places where the Heaven-Eating Army would appear, but there was one thing that he thought of, but he didn't mention it. He swallowed the words again.
"Your Majesty, I am doing a divination today. The hexagrams show that it is a sign of great misfortune. I don't know whether to explain the direction indicated in the hexagram or not!"
"Ziya, tell me what you have to say!"
"Judging from the hexagrams, the place pointed to should be the Beast Imperial City, so I am worried that the Heaven-Eating Empire will use the armies of the Four Kingdoms to attack Wu Chu and take the opportunity to attract His Majesty's attention. Their ultimate goal is to destroy the seat of Wu Chu's political power.
"
"If the Beast King's attack is in danger, the city of God will also be in danger. If this is the case, my imperial power will collapse in an instant."
"Ziya is really in tune with me. I have always been worried that the Beast Imperial City will be in danger."
"Xiao Guizi, pass on my decree and order Tianmen Sect Master Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to guard the Beast Imperial City. At the same time, convey my secret decree and order Sun Jian and his son, Li Mi and Yang Xuangan to strengthen the defense of the Beast Imperial City."
Emperor Chu did not believe that the Heaven-Devouring Empire's army could attack the Beast Emperor's City with great fanfare. If they really wanted to sneak attack the Beast Emperor's City, they would have to move their troops in danger, so there wouldn't be too many of them.
With the Tianmen and Jiangdong armies guarding them, Emperor Chu believed that even if the Heaven-Eating Empire's surprise troops descended from the sky, they would not be able to capture the Beast Imperial City for a while. (To be continued)
