On the other side.

After the Feng army captured Sanjiangkou, the news reached Prince Chu. After hearing this, the latter was very excited on the spot and immediately wrote a letter in person, sending it to Lu Chen.

On this day, Lu Chen and his generals were inspecting the original Chu Army Navy camp. After a series of research on the Chu Army Navy warships and the defense line along the river, Lu Chen said sincerely: "The Chu Army Navy is indeed well-known. If it weren't for Tang Ze's help, our army wouldn't have crossed the Yangtze River so easily in this battle at Sanjiangkou."

Xiao Wang smiled and said with a smile: "This is all due to the wisdom of the king. If it weren't for the king's provocation of Guo She and Wang Shuang's relationship, if Guo She hadn't repeatedly slandered in front of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince would not have changed his commander at the last minute, creating such a great opportunity for our army."

Lu Chen waved his hand, changed his tone, and asked Tang Man again: "What's the situation in Hanyang now?"

Tang Man replied: "Tang Ze led all the remnants to retreat to Hanyang City, waiting for the arrival of Chu reinforcements."

"It seems that the Eighth Prince is preparing to fight a protracted offensive and defensive battle with us in Hanyang." Lu Chen said.

Tang Man continued: "In addition, Weichen received news from his subordinates that the State of Chu had sent envoys into Qingguo."

When Lu Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then chuckled: "These are expected, and there is nothing strange about it. Now it's time for us to discuss the Battle of Hanyang."

Hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately said: "King, Hanyang, has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times. I suggest that before the reinforcements of Chu State arrive, we should conquer Hanyang with lightning speed!"

He was right. Hanyang is convenient for transportation and well-connected, and is a hub of Chu.

Lu Chen asked: "According to the information, how many days will the Chu reinforcements arrive in Hanyang?"

"It will take at least five days." Tang Man returned.

After hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "In five days, can our army capture Hanyang?"

Xiao Wang explained: "Although Hanyang is a big city and the city defense is solid, the defenders in the city are all Chu army navy. If we talk about water wars, this army may be extremely difficult to deal with, but if our army takes a strong attack on the siege, they should not be able to defend for five days!"

Now the Feng army is 300,000, of which nearly 200,000 are Pingzhou army. Xiao Wang obviously has full confidence in Pingzhou army. After hearing this, Lu Chen hesitated and made a decision, saying, "Okay! I ordered that Pingzhou army will launch a strong attack on Hanyang tomorrow!"

"No!" Xiao Wang said with his fists.

Seeing this, Ai Hu moved the corner of his mouth and was about to say something, but Lu Chen said first: "In addition, Ai Hu's troops are stationed at Sanjiangkou and continue to train the navy. Qingyang will go to war with the army."

"I accept the order." Ai Hu also clasped his fists and said.

Now Lu Chen has the idea of ​​building the Yuan Jing army into the Fengjun Navy, and there are the remaining camps and warships of the Chu army here. It is best to leave Ai Hu and the 100,000 Jing army here.

After discussing these, Lu Chen was about to signal everyone to retreat, but at this moment, a spy from the military aircraft camp quickly walked in, then knelt on one knee, intervened and said, "Report to the King, Prince Chu,"

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and stretched out his hand, "Come on."

The letter was taken by Tang Man and submitted to Lu Chen. After he read it, all the generals in the tent focused their attention on him.

Seeing everyone's curious look, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Crown Prince Chu asked us not to rush to attack Hanyang first, but to wait until he meets with us, and then he will come forward to persuade the Chu army in Hanyang City."

Hearing that he said, everyone's brows frowned, and Chen Qun pondered: "It is of course the best thing to take down Hanyang without bloodshed, but is it sure that Prince Chu is sure?"

Lu Chen said, "I don't know if he is sure of me, but the meaning of the Prince Chu is already very obvious. It's just that I want to take back the military power of the Chu army in the name of orthodox. However, the chief general in Hanyang City is Tang Ze, who is the confidant of the Eighth Prince. The chance of persuading surrender is probably not great, and we cannot accompany him to take this risk. And more importantly, when the Chu reinforcements arrive, it will not be so easy to capture Hanyang. Moreover, once the Qing army enters Chu, the war will be stalemate. If Hanyang is not ours, then we will have no land base and will not be able to fight the Qing army in Chu!"

After hearing this, people nodded one after another, Chen Qun bowed and said, "The king is right, then we now..."

"I don't have to pay attention to Prince Chu, and I will conquer Hanyang first!" Lu Chen said directly.

Lu Chen decided to attack Hanyang with 200,000 Pingzhou troops. After his military order, the Feng army moved together and set off from Sanjiangkou that day. By night, the army had arrived outside Hanyang City.

After a night of rest, the next morning, 200,000 Pingzhou troops set up a formation outside Chengguan!

Two hundred thousand soldiers, the scene is so big!

Black armor and red tassels covered the sky and the black flags fluttered in the wind, covering the sun in the sky!

Looking at the Feng Jun soldiers with halberds outside the city, Tang Ze on the top of the city held his helmet, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "This... Feng Jun is coming so fast..."

His fear comes from the heart, and Guo She beside him is even more afraid than him! When the decisive battle on the river, the Chu army didn't think anything was there, but once the Feng army landed and set up a battle formation on such a plain, the momentum was imagined! There was no need to fight, and the Chu army at the city gate was already scared!

Guo She also had the Adam's apple slippery. After he stared at Feng Jun outside the city for a while, he immediately said in surprise: "General Tang! Now the Feng Jun is at the city. I have heard that Feng King Lu Chen, every time he goes to the city, he will rage with an arrow formation in advance. General quickly goes down and find cover!"

Oh! Hearing this, Tang Ze suddenly thought about it. He almost didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, Lord Guo is right! Quickly! Go down! Danger here!"

As he spoke, he immediately began to walk down the city quickly.

He left, but the Chu soldiers at the city gate could not leave. The general was incompetent and was greedy and afraid of lust. The morale below could also be imagined.

Soon, as Guo She expected, the Fengjun battle formation began to change.

On the tall chariot, Lu Chen was unsheathed his sword, pointed forward, shouting with a shock: "Shoot the arrow!"

Buzz!

At that moment, it seemed like the air was torn apart!

Countless arrows gathered into dense black dots and swept up!
Chapter completed!
