Chapter 326 Battle of Xuzhou
Now the royal family is similar to the Zhou emperor during the Warring States Period.
Although the imperial power declined, he was still the king of the world after all, and was justified. No matter whether the kings looked down on Shang Rui or not, everyone was tacit.
This is a disguised check and balance.
Now that he heard King Yan say this, the King Ling pondered for a moment and said, "If you take the royal land, then to be more important, it is to be a vassal of the princes. Will other countries seize this point and put it into any name."
"Hey? Brother Ling is too worried." King Yan waved his hand and said, "If it were before, this might have been the case, but now, the war between Jin State has brought all the nations into it. This is a rare opportunity."
"Yeah... there is some truth." The Spirit King nodded slowly and asked again: "How do you plan?"
"You can take the south of Huaiyang by your brother Ling, and I will take the north of Huaiyang by this king." Yan Wang said.
The Spirit King thought about it for a moment and said, "This is possible, but the imperial capital cannot move for the time being."
"If you don't move, don't move. It's better to leave a place for Shang." King Yan chuckled.
In summary, after Qin Liang attacked Jin, Jin State was defeated all the way. The countries saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman, and Yan Ling took the opportunity to start taking over the territory of the emperor.
For a time, chaos broke out in the Central Plains again, and wars were everywhere, but Xuanguo was alone.
After Yan Ling used troops to Huaiyang, he intended to divide the area from here, establish two counties in Huainan and Huaibei. At the same time, he began to devour the territory of the emperor from the surrounding area.
Shang Rui, who learned the news, suddenly panicked, saying repeatedly: "This, this, I have never offended King Ling and King Yan. Why do these two countries send troops to Huaiyang?"
Dong Hua said, "Your Majesty, the world is in chaos. Seeing that there is no profit, the two countries of Yanling actually want to plan a royal family. It is actually because the following are the ones who are injuring the superiors. Their intentions are to be punished."
"Then, what should I do!" Shang Rui was silent.
Dong Hua said again: "No matter what, Your Majesty is the Emperor. Now that the princes are invading, you must send troops to suppress him!"
"Yes, but those are the Two Kings of Yan Ling."
"This..." Dong Hua also swallowed, but said: "But if Your Majesty doesn't care and let the two countries occupy land, the emperor's majesty will be lost, which will further increase the arrogance of the princes."
"Then, let Lu Bolin send troops?" Shang Rui asked tentatively. He was the emperor, and he actually spoke in this tone.
When Dong Hua heard this, he was a little silent.
Don’t look at what he said nicely, can you really send troops to suppress it?
But no matter what, in the end, Lu Bolin led the imperial army to Huaiyang. At the same time, Shang Rui also sent an envoy to ask the two kings of Yanling.
As a result, after he was sent, he was sent away by King Yan without saying anything.
Afterwards, Lu Bolin was forced to resist symbolically, but Yan Army and Ling Army were not joking with you. Once you arrived at the battlefield, either you died or I died.
With the combat power of the Lu family army, there was no suspense in this battle. He was beaten by the Yanling Army and beaten up. Lu Bolin also threw away his armor and fled back to the imperial capital in a hurry.
On the other side, Xuzhou.
At this time, the Qin army had already met.
Su Yi had arrived in Xuzhou before. After arriving, he launched several strong attacks on the city. As a result, the Jin army fought to the death, and the two sides suffered losses.
At present, the generals in the central army's tent are discussing troops.
Xiao Yuan took the lead and said: "Since our army attacked Jin, the war has lasted for a year. After taking Yiyang and Puyang, our army has completely penetrated into the hinterland of Jin State, but to reach Jin Capital, we must pass this Xuzhou City."
"Now, most of the central army of Jin is in Xuzhou, and this city is the last favorable barrier for the enemy. If this place is lost, Jin will have no room for maneuver. At that time, our Qin cavalry can cross the plains and reach the capital of Jin with several important roads!"
As he spoke, he also looked at Lin Chu and asked, "What have you found out about Xuzhou garrison Du Yu?"
"By the king, based on the information collected by our army, overall, Du Yu is not a famous general. Although he has fought many wars, he is usually Ren Ying's deputy general, and has no great advantages or disadvantages."
Xiao Yuan must do every time to fight against the two armies, study the opponent's commander, know himself and his enemy.
Now after hearing what Lin Chu said, he pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, this is a well-behaved general. Such a person will not be fooled easily, and it will be quite difficult to defend the city."
As he said that, he glanced at the generals again and asked, "How to break Xuzhou, do you have any good suggestions?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at each other, then frowned slightly and began to think.
Su Yi said, "The king, the humble minister thinks that if you want to defeat Xuzhou, you have to fight a tough battle."
"Xuzhou City is one of the most powerful cities in Jin State. The city defense is solid and tall. The Jin army defends the city and has a advantage in geographical advantages. The chief general Du Yu is also a conservative person. No matter what, he will not take the initiative to turn on and face the enemy. At the same time, he is also very clear that if Xuzhou is broken, Jin will be in danger. Therefore, he will inevitably launch a desperate resistance in Xuzhou. If our army wants to break through here, there is no shortcut to take, and can only attack with force!"
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly.
"What about your opinions?"
"Now, I'm afraid there is no other way." A general said.
"Okay! Then attack hard! Follow the Jin army and compete with the bravery of soldiers!" Xiao Yuan immediately made the decision.
The next day, under his military order, more than 200,000 Qin troops arrived at the city of Xuzhou.
Flags are waving and long halberds are standing.
The Qin army soldiers were arranged into several square formations, looking at a line horizontally and a line diagonally.
Black armor and red tassels are covered with overwhelming amounts.
On the top of the city, Du Yu was in the middle. Looking at the appearance of the Qin army, his face was a little unfair.
At this time, his deputy general began to say: "General, look at the number of Qin soldiers, and he can't see the end at first sight. I'm afraid that the whole country has devoted its efforts to attack our Xuzhou. This battle is not easy to fight."
"No matter what, Xuzhou must not be abandoned!" Du Yu said in a deep voice.
"Of course, I understand! Even if all the soldiers of our troops are killed in battle, they will never take a step back!" said the deputy general seriously.
"Yeah." Du Yu nodded and said, "No matter how brave the Qin army is, they will never take a step with the solid defense of Xuzhou City! Moreover, our army's food, grass and weapons are endless, and there are also a hundred thousand troops, which is no problem to resist the enemy several times!"
"What the general said is reasonable." The deputy general agreed.
At this time, the Qin army camp also changed.
"Arrow formation is ready!"
Countless soldiers began to run forward and placed a pot of arrows on the ground.
The sound of friction between armor and armor was heard, and the soldiers in the front row all pulled their bows and arrows, pulling them all over, pointing to the sky slanted.
The sound of mechanical bounces came one after another, and the huge crossbow was pulled away by someone...
