It has been two days since the Qi army conquered Longhuang City. Generals Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang have stabilized the situation in the city, and the memorials to Zhanwang City have already been sent.
From the mouths of Zhou Dewei, Zhou Shun and Jin Liangzu, we learned that Xiang Yu was defeated at the foot of Aurora City and that the Heaven-devouring Emperor had personally marched to Zhanwang City.
In the past two days, after several discussions, Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong decided to take advantage of Taichu City's weak troops to lead a surprise attack and capture the Imperial City of the Heaven-Eating Empire in one fell swoop.
All the generals agreed and thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After discussion, it was decided that the Five Tiger Generals would lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the 50,000 Qi Family Army to Taichu City.
Zhou Yu accompanied him there, while Qi Jiguang led the troops to continue guarding Longhuang City.
The five generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong acted vigorously and resolutely. Within an hour after the discussion, the army was assembled and rushed out of the city under the leadership of the five men.
Banners fluttered, battles raged across the sky, soldiers marched thousands of miles away, and horses galloped across the wilderness in the wind.

Inside the War King's City.
Emperor Chu had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. He was happy that the battle of Dragon Phoenix City was over and the Chu army had won a complete victory. But he was worried that after two days of searching, no suitable place for an ambush was found.
Two days have passed, and the Sky Devouring Army is getting closer and closer to the King of War. There is no suitable place for an ambush, so they can only fight head-on.
In order to ensure victory in the battle against the Heaven-Eating Banner, Emperor Chu rewarded the generals with elixirs so that they could improve their cultivation level again in the shortest possible time.
We have made complete preparations for the battle. One battle will determine the outcome. Victory or defeat can be decided in a matter of days.
"Your Majesty, this cup of tea has gone cold. I will give you another cup of tea!"
Zhao Hede didn't know what Emperor Chu was worried about, so he heard a sweet voice and stepped forward to pour tea for Emperor Chu again. From their names, it could be heard that Zhao Hede and Zhao Feiyan had accepted the fact of staying with Emperor Chu.
Although there was no physical intimacy, the two of them already claimed to be Emperor Chu's women.
The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the beauty was fragrant, but Emperor Chu was not at all in the mood to enjoy tea and appreciate the beauty. At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and Naya appeared in Emperor Chu's sight.
"Your Majesty, King Xiang has led his troops back to the city!"
Hearing the sound, Emperor Chu put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards Na Ya'a, saying: "Let's go and have a look. King Xiang has returned to the city, and the Sky Devouring Vanguard Army should not be far away."
At this moment, at the gate of King Zhan's city, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Long Qie and others led the army into the city. Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wei Qing and Xue Rengui were talking with Xiang Yu.
After learning from Xiang Yu that the enemy's vanguard was expected to arrive in three hours, the generals' expressions became solemn and their bodies were filled with overwhelming fighting spirit. This long-awaited battle was finally about to begin.
The generals wanted Xiang Yu to return to training, but he refused. The war was about to begin, and how could the Overlord Xiang Yu be missing on the battlefield?
Xiang Yu knew the importance of this battle to the Chu State, and he could not leave no matter what, so he decided to compete with the Sky-Eating Iron Armor God again.
Suddenly.
The generals climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the Heaven Devouring Army. After a while, Emperor Chu brought Na Ya'a and Yu Lin's army to the city.
Seeing Emperor Chu's arrival, all the generals saluted him one after another. Xiang Yu did not expect that Emperor Chu would come to Zhanwang City in person, so he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. However, after thinking about it, a wry smile appeared on his lips.
With the strength of Emperor Chu, how could the Heaven Devouring Army hurt him? Besides, there were more than a hundred fierce generals in the city and an army of nearly a million, how could Emperor Chu be put in a critical situation?
Three hours passed in a flash, and the setting sun was setting in the west, filling the sky. Suddenly, enemy figures appeared at the end of the wilderness, like a black tide, sweeping across the world.
Wherever the black tide comes, it covers the sky and the sun.
The generals in the city knew that the vanguard army of the Heaven-Devouring Empire was coming.
However, they did not gallop and rush towards Zhanwang City. Instead, after traveling for a thousand meters, they suddenly stopped and gave up and continued onward.
This move surprised Emperor Chu and the soldiers in the city. It was obvious that they were waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army. At least at this moment, Emperor Chu did not see the iron-armored generals who were more than two feet tall and the black-armored soldiers wearing battle armor.
"Your Majesty, the Sky Devouring Vanguard Army has arrived. The general thought that he could send troops to defeat them before their foundation was stable and weaken their spirit."
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead troops there!"
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, Li Yuanba jumped out to ask for help, wanting to lead his troops to fight against the Sky-Eating Vanguard Army.
"King Xiang, does he know who is leading the Sky Devouring Vanguard Army?"
Wu Qi was present in the enemy camp. Emperor Chu was worried about a conspiracy and was careful to sail the Wannian Ship, so he had to know who the commander of the vanguard army was.
"Your Majesty, the commanders of the Sky-Eating Vanguard Army are Yang Kan and Shi Jiantang!"
As expected, it was almost the same as what Emperor Chu had guessed. I originally thought that Wu Qi would let Yang Kan and Wen Zhong serve as the vanguard, but Shi Jiantang's combat power was not weak at all.
In history, Shi Jiantang fought alone against Wang Yanzhang, and the two were equally matched, each with his own merits.
Hearing that Yang Kan and Shi Jiantang were the commander-in-chief of the vanguard army, Li Yuanba became more and more eager to give it a try and said again: "Your Majesty, the last general has sent you a tassel to fight."
Emperor Chu knew that Li Yuanba wanted to fight and wanted to compete with Yang Kan again. He thought for a long time and said:
"King Zhao Li Yuanba listened to the order and ordered you to go with Huang Tianhua, Qin Yong, Lu Bu, and Luo Shixin to lead ten thousand light cavalry to fight against the Sky Devouring Pioneer Army."
"Remember not to be too lazy to fight. Once the enemy's follow-up troops arrive, retreat to the city immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanba's five generals raised their fists and took orders. They stood up and were about to walk towards the city when suddenly a horse riding Juechen came, and the rumble of horse hooves and whipping sounds could be heard.
Everyone followed the sound, and their eyes focused on the person who came, and found that he was just a young enemy general. When he was young, he picked up the reins and reined up his horse under the city.
Phew~
The enemy general reined up his horse and stood up, picking up his bow and arrow. A flying arrow penetrated the void and hit the military flag on the top of the city. There was a shout outside the city:
"Listen, generals of the Chu army, quickly open the city gates and surrender. My emperor can still spare your lives, otherwise, when the city is breached, you will all die without any body parts."
"Farewell, Hua Rong, where is Li Guang? Shoot the enemy generals below the city immediately!"
Before the army arrived, he dared to show off his power and shout outside the city, hoping to affect the morale of the three armies. How could the Emperor of Chu let him succeed?
After giving the order, Zhe Farewell, Hua Rong, and Li Guang drew their bows and stepped forward. Three flying arrows shot out, penetrating the air barrier. Wherever they passed, afterimages appeared, like a puff of blue smoke.
The enemy general picked up the reins and returned to his horse. Before he could run a hundred meters away, there was only a lone horse left, galloping wildly in the wilderness. The enemy general had already fallen off his horse, and three arrows were buried in his back.
"Your Majesty, this is the letter attached to the arrow!"
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and handed the letter attached to the arrows shot by the enemy to the Chu Emperor. He opened it and read it, a ball of flame appeared in his palm, and the letter instantly turned into ashes. The Chu Emperor waved his sleeves lightly, and the ashes fell from the city.
"Sirs, the Heaven-devouring Emperor wants you to open the city gates to welcome him and allow you to surrender and serve under him at will. This is really a fool's errand."
"Swear to follow His Majesty to the death!"
"Swear to follow His Majesty to the death!"
"King Zhao, Marquis Wen, Qin Yong, Huang Tianhua, and Luo Shixin, please leave the city immediately to attack the Sky Devouring Vanguard Army!"
The Emperor of Chu just wanted his generals to come out of the city to fight. If Emperor Devouring Heaven had not boasted of having iron-armored generals and black-armored soldiers, the Chu army would not dare to meet him, but he just wanted the Chu army to fight.
Not only must we fight, but we must also severely injure them. This is our attitude. We want to tell Emperor Devouring Heaven that even if he has iron-armored generals and black-armored soldiers, the Chu army will not be afraid at all. (To be continued)
