Before I knew it, it was seven days later, and it was now early autumn. The cold wind was blowing on my face, the grass and trees were withering, and the earth was in a state of confusion.
On the official road, a cavalry horse rode the wind and galloped wildly. It was the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and the Yulin Army led by Emperor Chu. When they learned that the Chu army had won the battle at Zhanwangcheng, Emperor Chu knew that the decisive battle with the Devouring Heaven Empire was imminent. , so they accelerated their advance, and the army continued non-stop for days.
Along the way, Emperor Chu was not idle. He found the "Wu Zi Art of War" written by Wu Qi in history from the system supermarket. After browsing for several days, he finally read the entire art of war today.
Wu Qi mentioned many concepts in The Art of War, and Emperor Chu felt that he benefited a lot. The Art of War records: "There will be heavy rewards for advancing, heavy penalties for retreating, and rewards and punishments must be trusted. Reward those who have meritorious service, encourage those who have no meritorious service, and provide compensation and condolences to those who sacrificed their lives. Family members.”
"It is necessary to select generals who are both civil and military, capable of using both hardness and softness, who can appease the people, deter the enemy, and make decisions in difficult situations. It is also advocated that the military should be based on the different geographical conditions, political conditions, people's customs, economic strength, and military quality of different countries. and military formations and other characteristics to formulate different military strategies."
Wu Qi also emphasized in The Art of War that it is necessary to understand the enemy's deployment situation and choose its weak points to attack. To this end, he listed eight situations in which you can attack without divination, and six situations in which you should not fight the enemy without divination. He advocated the use of troops. To adapt to changes, he proposed specific tactics such as attacking the strong, attacking the masses, valley warfare, water warfare, and siege. In addition, he also made special discussions on horse breeding and mounted warfare.
The Art of War gave Emperor Chu a new understanding of Wu Zi, who was worthy of being a thinker, educator, enlightener, and military strategist in ancient my country. Such an experienced talent must be used by himself when he returns to the war continent.
If you can get his help, it will be even more powerful.
The Emperor of Chu deeply studied Wu Zi's art of war and learned that in history Wu Qi had trained an elite infantry group named "Wei Wu Zu". The extraordinary achievement of winning sixty-four.
Emperor Chu had a plan in mind. If he could not get Wu Qi's help, he could only hand over Wu Zi's art of war to Bai Qi's generals and let them study it carefully, so as to restrain Wu Qi.
Da da da~
Da da da~
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and Emperor Chu and his entourage disappeared at the end of the wilderness. Only the thick fog that hit the sky filled the air, covering the sky.
at the same time.
Outside Aurora City.
The Overlord Army under King Xiang launched the third siege battle. The generals of the Chu army thought that the Heaven-devouring Army was gathered in the King of War City. However, they did not know that the defenders of Aurora City were not weak at all. Xiang Yu launched two attacks in succession, both with Ended in failure.
The commander-in-chief of the Aurora City garrison deployed in a very organized manner. The two armies of Overlord and Xuanwu were unable to attack for a long time, and they lost troops and generals, and their morale was also greatly affected.
Today, Xiang Yu once again approached the city. The defenders of Jiuguang City locked up the city gates and could not leave. Their powerful attacking crossbows were pointed directly outside the city. The defensive equipment was in full array, waiting for the Chu army to attack the city at any time.
At this moment, Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Ying Bu, Xiong Si, Zhong Lihuan, Zhang Han, Long Qie, and Ji Bu stood proudly in front of thousands of troops and horses. The siege equipment in the army was lined up, and the shadows of swords and halberds flashed across the sky.
The cold wind blew through, and the smoke and dust on the ground flew violently, streaking across the armor of the army. Xiang Yu tightened the reins in his hands, his cheeks were covered with haze, and a majestic voice exploded:
"Commanders, listen to the order. Aurora City will be destroyed today. The War King City has fallen into the hands of our Chu army. If we can no longer capture the city in front of us, we will delay the opportunity to fight. Then we will have no face to see Your Majesty."
"The four generals Long Qie, Yingbu, Jibu, and Zhang Han obeyed the order and ordered you to prevent the dead soldiers from attacking Aurora City. Xiangzhuang and Zhonglihuan commanded the weapon army, arrows, and thunder to crush the army to win for the army.
Siege time.”
With an order, the generals lifted up their reins and unleashed their horses, waved their weapons, shouted loudly, swept across the world, and charged towards Aurora City.
On the top of the city, Chen Baxian stared at the overlord army outside the city with a calm expression and no sense of nervousness. The Chu army failed to attack the city twice, but now he can still stop the Chu army and the city.
"All the soldiers listened to the order and acted according to the deployment. When the Chu army approached the city and attacked in the fierce fire array, they were crushed by rolling stones, fallen trees, arrows and flying spears."
Chen Baxian is as stable as Mount Tai, and the soldiers in the city are not nervous at all. With the defense of the fierce fire formation, no matter how many soldiers and horses the Chu army comes, they will eventually be buried in the sea of fire.
At this moment, a captain general walked quickly to Chen Baxian and whispered in his ear. Chen Baxian looked sideways at the general beside him and said:
"Zhou Wenyu and Hou An are listening to the order. You two are responsible for guarding the city. Your Majesty is here in person. I will go to greet you!"
Chen Baxian had long received the secret order from the Heaven-Eating Emperor. After the fall of Zhanwang City, he learned that Xian Zhen led his troops to rebel and fled to the Chu army camp. The Heaven-Eating Emperor Long Yan was furious and secretly ordered Chen Baxian to guard Aurora City at all costs, and mentioned that he would
Jun Lin went on a personal expedition and led his army to defeat the Chu army outside the city.
Now Emperor Devouring Heaven has arrived at Aurora City, and Chen Ba went to greet him. Xiang Yu didn't know what was going on in the city, so he ordered his army to attack the city.
On the battlefield, Long Qie raised his weapons high and roared toward the sky, like a wild beast. He began to roar and become angry, leading his troops to rush forward.
Long Qie was originally a surrendered general of the Chu State and belonged to the Zhanzhan Academy. The Emperor of Chu knew that Long Qie was a fierce general under Xiang Yu in history, so he let him join the Overlord Army.
After all, the status of a general who can be demoted cannot be changed, so whenever there is a war, Long Qi must take the lead and charge on the front line of the battlefield, in order to achieve military success and achieve success, which can change his status as a demoted general.
The four generals Long Qie, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, and Zhang Han led the dead soldiers and sacrificed their lives, just like the flood that broke the embankment and approached Aurora City. The two generals Zhou Wenyu and Hou Andu watched intently and did not rush to order the attack.
They are waiting for the best opportunity.
a long time.
The Chu army ascended the city to attack the city, and even the ladders were placed against the city. All the soldiers rushed forward and charged towards the city. The four generals led the dead soldiers to throw the thunderbolt towards the city gate, intending to blow up the city gate.
At this moment, Second General Hou Andu on the city ordered the fire formation to start attacking. The raging flames were engulfed in the sky, burning and engulfing the Chu army.
Screams pierced the sky, and the soldiers of the Chu army turned into flaming figures, falling from the air. The flying arrows and spears that covered the sky flew out from the city, passing through their bodies and making it difficult for the attacking army to move.
See the situation.
Xiang Yu's eyes were about to burst and he was furious. Three consecutive attacks were defeated by the enemy's fierce fire formation. He could only place his hope on the four generals Long Qie. As long as the city gate was blown up and his troops entered the city, he would definitely kill them.
Kill all the enemy troops in the city and vent your hatred.
"Commander, the enemy's fire formation is so powerful that our soldiers cannot board the city at all. Didn't Zhuge's military advisor leave a tip bag to the commander before leaving?"
"Tips?"
Only then did Xiang Yu remember Zhuge Liang's brocade bag. His mind moved, and the brocade bag appeared in his palm. When he opened it and looked at it, he had a look of confusion on his face.
"Waiting for God's help!"
"What does Zhuge's military advisor mean? Waiting for heaven's help, can we defuse it and allow our army to attack the city?" (To be continued)
