Chapter 1662 Horses' hoofs have stepped over, all of them are in Chu
At night.
Wu Qi, Wen Zhong, and Yang Kan led the five thousand Heaven Devouring Army out of Taichu City, and flew toward Zhanwang City covered in stars and moons.
Inside the palace.
The Heaven-Eating Emperor looked ecstatic, Wu Qi's words made him suddenly enlightened, and the armies of the Three Kingdoms stationed in the Heaven-Eating cities. This would trap the Chu army for at least a month. By the time his secret weapon is completed, who in the world would dare to be his enemy?
"Prime Minister, this is a great achievement. When I complete my hegemony, you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
"It is an honor for me to share your Majesty's worries!"
Li Heng raised his fist and saluted, a hint of joy deep in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look forward to the day when he would become the most powerful person in the world.
"Prime Minister, you've worked hard, go down and rest early!"
"Wei Chen resigns!"
............
The night was like ink, sweeping across the earth, and a gentle breeze passed by. In the Chu army camp stationed outside Lingxiao City, the patrolling soldiers whispered:
"We have been fighting hard for so many days and haven't even eaten a single meal. The cold wind is raging during the patrol at night, and it is pouring into the armor. I really can't bear it!"
"Don't talk about the two armies. The commander-in-chief has already issued an order prohibiting any discussion of food and fodder in the army. If you persist for two more days, the commander-in-chief will have sent people to Shuiyun City to escort the food and fodder."
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, an endless stream of fire appeared in the wilderness in the distance, and the rumble of horse hooves was heard. The patrolling soldiers followed the sound and looked into the distance. One of them quickly ran towards the big tent.
A little while.
Three generals, Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, and Hua Rong, appeared, looking intently at the firelight moving forward in the wilderness.
"Looking at the direction of their march, they should be heading towards the King of War City. They may be Wu Chu's army escorting grain and grass. General Yuwen would like to go forward with a certain person to investigate?"
"Indeed!"
Yuwen Chengdu said, holding the giant boring machine tightly in his hand, he turned around and walked towards the foot of the mountain. Jiang Song simply told Zhe goodbye, and Hua Rong said a few words and ran forward to pursue him.
Da da da~
Da da da~
Jiang Song and Yu Wen, Chengdu's second generals, led hundreds of soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion and flew away from Juechen, taking advantage of the darkness to approach the army stretching in the wilderness.
After about half an hour, the two men finally appeared on the left side of the army. Although they were only a hundred people traveling at night, their whereabouts were still exposed and they were noticed by the army across the wilderness.
now.
The army stopped moving forward. Under the light of the torch, the leader was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. There were three other people beside him, namely Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen.
The three of them were originally responsible for the construction of the Protector's Mansion in the border city, but a month ago, the three of them received a secret order from Emperor Chu, ordering them to raise food and grass and secretly enter the Land of Devouring Heaven.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the territory of Taixu, they met Xiang Yu who was setting off from Xuantian City. The four of them walked together, escorting the grain, grass and baggage, across the land of Taixu, and were about to go to Zhanwang City to join the four armies of Chu State.
.
"Xiong Si listened to the order and went to capture all the scouts approaching our army. Remember to survive!"
Xiang Yu reined up his horse and ordered Xiong Si behind him. The Overlord Army escorted the grain and grass, which was related to the livelihood of millions of Chu soldiers. Xiang Yu would never allow any mistakes to occur.
"It's your order~"
Xiong Si took the order and led a cavalry horse, neighing in the wind, galloping towards Jiang Song. Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen looked sideways, with calm expressions, not worried at all about encountering a surprise attack by the enemy.
The army marched forward, with Xiang Yu at the head, Qi Jiguang at the end, and Zhou Yu in the center. The three of them were walking together, plus the Overlord Army and the Qi Family Army's guards. If anyone dared to make a sneak attack, they would probably never come back.
"Don't be nervous, King Xiang. It's just a small group of troops. General Xiong can handle it!"
"Kong Ming's words make sense. The soldiers and horses that can appear here are either enemy scouts or our Chu soldiers and horses, perhaps spies from the Fourth Army."
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, he only heard the sound of horse hooves whipping in the distance, but there was no sound of soldiers clashing. He chuckled lightly, knowing that just as he had guessed, the soldiers and horses coming were his own.
A little while.
Xiong Sifeng Fenghuohuo stepped forward and said with a wild laugh: "Master Hou, you are not an enemy scout. The person who came is Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu's second general under Marshal Li."
While speaking, Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu stepped forward, jumped off their horses, and saluted Zhuge Liang, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen with their fists.
"Why are the two generals here?"
"Back to Wenhou, a few miles away is Lingxiao City. Our army is currently resting in the city!"
Hear the sound.
Xiang Yu nodded lightly. Since the army was in Lingxiao City, there was no need to escort the grain and grass to Zhanwang City. He immediately ordered the army to change direction and approach Lingxiao City.
Mao Shi.
Li Jing received the news and learned that Xiang Yu was coming with provisions and baggage. After notifying Bai Qi, Wei Qing and Xue Rengui, he led the generals out of the city to meet him.
The lights in Lingxiao City were brightly lit, shining like daylight, and all the generals stood under the city, waiting for Xiang Yu's arrival.
Xiang Yu escorted the food and baggage here, which was a timely rain. If there was no food and grass, the army in the city would be without food for two days at most, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Boom~
Boom~
The sound of horse hooves shook the heaven and earth. The generals did not expect to receive not only food and grass, but also the overwhelming Chu army. It was so exciting.
With enough food and grass, coupled with Xiang Yu's overlord army, it would only take a day or night to capture Zhanwang City and conquer Taichu City.
At that time, the horses' hooves will trample all over Chu land, and the Chu flag will fly in the city of Taixu.
a long time.
Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Zhang Liang rode forward, jumped off their horses and strode in front of the generals. They originally thought that Xiang Yu was the only one coming, but when they saw the other three, all the generals smiled.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Zhang Liang were all the most trusted ministers of the Emperor of Chu. Moreover, they were men who could bring order to the world with their pens and men with military skills who could order the world.
The three of them strategized and won a thousand-mile victory. Compared with Li Jing, Bai Qi, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui, the four were slightly inferior in resourcefulness.
In the past, when the Emperor of Chu was on his own expedition, no more than two of them would accompany him. Now, three of them gathered together, only Jiang Shang was missing, and the four wise men of Chu gathered together.
At this moment, the generals understood Chu Emperor's intentions and the importance Chu Emperor attached to this battle.
"I heard that the four commanders were injured, but they are not serious!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhuge, for your concern. The injury has healed!"
"Haha, the pharmacist is trying to offend me. Just call me Kong Ming. You and I are officials in the same dynasty and are loyal to Your Majesty. We should treat each other as brothers."
Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and moved to the side of Li Jing and the others. Zhang Liang turned around and signaled to the army behind him to escort the grain and grass into the city.
"In the battle of Taixu and Heaven-Eating, the four commanders became famous all over the world. They severely defeated the spirit of Heaven-Eating and promoted the prestige of the Chu Kingdom. This time, we have come to fight side by side with the four commanders. We will live up to the divine grace and defeat Heaven-Eating together.
"
"With the advice of brothers Kongming, Zifang, and Bowen, as well as the soldiers under the Overlord's command, it will be easy to defeat the Heaven-Eating Land."
When Li Jing heard Zhang Liang's words, he chuckled lightly and raised his hand to signal the four of them to enter the city. The generals led the soldiers to help transport grain and grass into the city. For a time, Lingxiao City was filled with laughter and laughter.
The arrival of grain, grass and troops once again raised the morale of the Chu army to its peak state. Now that everything is ready, all that is left is to do it. (To be continued)
