The Yan Jin army launched a total of five attacks, losing countless troops and generals, but still failed to capture Fengyan City.
Under the bright moonlight, the smoke was rising, and the unextinguished battlefield was still burning.
Under the city.
There were corpses and broken arms everywhere, and flags stuck sideways on the ground whistled in the night wind.
Vultures circled and roared in the void, and the Yanjin Empire's army had retreated dozens of miles away and set up camp.
In the brightly lit Yanjin military camp, the light of the torches baked the ground red, and the soldiers patrolled vigilantly.
at this time.
In the Chinese army camp, Hyakuriya and Fujii Zhanwu were at the top of the list, with nearly a hundred generals sitting in two rows below.
Tu Feng, Shangguan Ling, and Mu Xiong were also among them. At this time, the injuries on the three of them had been simply treated, and there was a look of decadence on their cheeks.
The Yan Jin army came all the way with great momentum without a single defeat. However, in the past two days, they had lost troops and generals one after another, and their morale had obviously plummeted.
Seeing the soldiers lowering their heads with gloomy expressions on their faces, Baili Ya's iron fist hit the wooden table in front of him.
"All generals, please tell me how we can defeat Fengyan City now."
It was quiet for a long time.
Yi Xin suddenly stood up, clasped his fists, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Commander, the Chu army has closed the city gates tightly and will not fight. The general will suspect that they have other agendas."
"Our army's advance up to this point has been a blitzkrieg. There is no supply of food and grass at all. They rely entirely on plundering from various cities. If Fengyan City cannot be captured for a long time, I am afraid that our army will not be able to hold on to food and grass for three days."
"The foreign general's words are reasonable, but I wonder what good advice the general has?"
Yi Xin was not a general of the Yanjin Empire. He was a general of the Sixth Rank Hanqing Empire. This time the Four Kingdoms attacked Chu.
On the surface, all the armies were led by Hyakuriya of the Yanjin Empire. Secretly, the generals of the various countries were very dissatisfied with Hyakuriya. In addition, Fujii Sentake implemented Sanko's inhumane policies, which made the generals quite complain.
But since it was a joint battle plan signed by the emperors of various countries, they could only accept the leadership of Hyakuriya.
now.
Hearing Bailiya's urgent inquiry, Yixin looked firm and his powerful voice sounded.
"Commander, the land of Chu State is vast and has many cities. Since all the elite Chu troops are gathered in Fengyan City, why don't we avoid its edge and send cavalry to find another way to directly attack the imperial city of Chu State."
"Continue to consume here. After three days, food and grass will be scarce. Even if the generals here have no objections, the soldiers under my command may not agree."
"Who would be willing to fight in blood if they don't have enough to eat?"
"That's right, what General Yi said makes sense!"
"That's right, our four countries are jointly attacking Chu. If the soldiers are hungry and let them go to the battlefield to fight against the Chu army, I am afraid that they will not listen even if I give the order personally."
All the generals in the camp agreed with Yi Xin's statement. Their eyes stayed on Baili Ya's figure, waiting for his final decision.
"There is nothing wrong with General Yixin's words, but have the generals ever thought that if the army spreads out, they may be defeated by the Chu army one by one like Yanagize, Tuoba Zan, and Gong Mu."
"So we should work together. Now the commander-in-chief wants you to think of a way to break the city."
"Broken city!"
"How to break the city?"
"The Chu army has closed the city and cannot leave. The damage caused by the attack is too serious. After three days, the food and grass will be exhausted. Don't blame me, the general, for leading his soldiers to withdraw!"
A general looked unhappy and made a slightly angry voice, not giving any face to Yuri Ya and Fujii Zhanwu.
Say it.
The mountain figure suddenly rose up, stood up and walked towards the outside of the camp. At this moment, he only heard a vicious voice coming from behind.
"Shan Yue, don't forget that your emperor has signed a joint combat agreement. If you leave now, you will be violating the terms of the agreement and will be severely punished."
Fujii Zhanwu's eyes were fixed on the figure on the mountain. His footsteps suddenly stopped, and for a moment, he loudly said: "We have different paths, so we don't want to work together!"
The words fell.
Shan Yue opened the curtain of the tent in front of him, stood up and strode out, fighting with the Chu army for nearly ten days. Shan Yue admired the Chu army soldiers from the bottom of his heart.
They regarded death as if they were home, and acted with utmost sincerity. They never abandoned any soldier on the battlefield. In order to save the people, the people under Nanyang City did not hesitate to leave the city at the risk of annihilation.
Such loyal teachers, even if they are outnumbered and defeated now, they will definitely be invincible in the future because they will have the support of the people.
Looking at the swaying curtain, Fujii Zhanwu roared angrily: "This is unreasonable. He is simply arrogant. When the war is over, I will definitely ask Emperor Xuanteng to hand him over to me."
"General Fujii, don't be angry. We should continue to discuss the attack on Fengyan City."
"boom!"
Fujii Zhanwu smashed the wooden case in front of him into pieces with one palm, and with a murderous look in his eyes, he stood up and spat.
"What are you discussing? There is no need to discuss it anymore!"
"At dawn tomorrow, the army will come out in full force to attack Fengyan City together."
"If an army of 500,000 cannot attack Fengyan, then you will no longer need to be among the generals."
"waste!"
"If we, Fusang's elite soldiers, attack Chu again, we will need an army of 500,000 to defeat Chu. 50,000 is enough!"
Fujii Zhanwu's cold voice echoed in the camp, and he strode out with his sleeves fluttering. At this time, nearly a hundred generals on both sides had pale faces, and they were all burning with anger.
The whole night was speechless, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.
At dawn.
Two armies ushered in Fengyan City, and Chu Feifan and Song Wuque led the armies to arrive one after another.
Arriving outside the general's mansion in the city, the generals stood under the morning mist. Chu Feifan was followed closely by Zhang Fei, Wang Yanzhang, Zhao Yun, Yang Zhi, Yang Dayan, Zhebie and others.
Song Wuque was also surrounded by powerful generals such as Dian Wei, Zhou Yu, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong and others who arrived in full force.
"We look forward to welcoming our emperor!"
"We look forward to welcoming our emperor!"
Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Huo Qubing all bowed and saluted. Chu Feifan jumped off his horse and quilt, raised his hand to signal the generals to get up, and led them to stride towards the mansion.
In the meeting hall of the mansion, hundreds of generals sat down and reported to Chu Feifan the major and minor battles that had taken place in recent days.
When he heard that Yan Jin's enemy army was implementing the three-guang policy, his eyes shot out with murderous intent, knowing that all this was the Fuso Empire's style of conduct.
Chu Feifan had long known that the Yanjin Empire was dependent on the Fusang Kingdom, but he still didn't understand how the seventh-level Yanjin Empire could have half a million powerful soldiers.
Hearing that Ran Min and Qin Qiong were injured, a strong murderous aura appeared on his figure, and a cold voice sounded.
"The enemy troops of Yanjin are inhumane. They seized my city, killed my people, and destroyed my home. Such heinous people will never be let go."
"Now the army in the city has gathered twenty-five people. It's time to fight the enemy to the death."
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. A decisive battle is not the best option at this time!"
"The enemy troops came over a long distance to attack with sharp tactics. They are obviously trying to conquer Wuchu in one go."
"Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted."
"Now the enemy has been attacking Fengyan City for a long time. I guessed correctly that the food and grass in their army cannot last for three days."
"The emperor only needs to send a strong force out of the city, go around to the enemy's rear, set up an ambush, and stop their troops who are coming to deliver food, grass and baggage."
"In less than three days, the enemy troops outside the city will be in chaos. By then our army will be out of the city to kill the enemy, and we will definitely be able to decide the outcome in one battle!"
Zhuge Liang gently waved the jade fan in his hand, looking like he was strategizing and confident.
Hear the sound.
All the generals' eyes were focused on his figure. They didn't expect that Zhuge Liang could point out the enemy's fatal weakness just after arriving in Fengyan City.
"Your Majesty, General Bai Qi proposed yesterday to defend Fengyan and wait for the enemy troops outside the city to run out of food and fodder before engaging in a decisive battle with them."
"Now Military Advisor Zhuge has proposed it again, and I think this plan is feasible!"
When Chu Feifan heard Huo Qubing's voice, he chuckled lightly, glanced sideways at Guo Jia, and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the humble ministers are in charge of the battle!"
