Before the city father, he fought with iron and blood in hundreds of battles.
Li Xin's army of more than 100,000 people and Xiang Yan's main army of more than 200,000 people fought here. From Chen hour, they were constantly fighting. By noon, they had skirmished with each other dozens of times.
"Xiang Yan is like a turtle, unable to shrink out."
Li Xin snorted coldly after hearing the report from the army commander.
"General Lee!"
"Our army's powerful weapons and arrow clusters are somewhat insufficient. I am afraid that this is the intention of the Chu army. They intend to rapidly consume our offensive power."
"There is an express report from Qibei County that the Chu army has captured it. So... our army's food and grass supplies will be very heavy at the rear."
"If you don't retreat in time, you will be trapped, which will be even more dangerous."
Meng Wu, wearing heavy armor, walked to Li Xin's policy and looked at him softly.
Xiang Yan's intention is definitely to involve General Li Xin's main force here, and then lead other armies to rush there to trap and kill General Li Xin's main force.
But General Li Xin insisted on leading the main army to annihilate Xiang Yan's main force.
Already fallen into Xiang Yan’s trap!
Mie Chu... don't be in a hurry.
Meng Wu bowed his hand and bowed.
"General Li..., there has been no news from Pingyu for two days. I'm afraid there is something strange."
"For the sake of caution, we should retreat first to plan for Huaibei!"
When the other generals heard this, they looked at each other. At present, the attack on Xiang Yan's main force has not been successful, and there may be problems with the food and baggage at the rear.
The battle line is really too long, so that... the Chu army is likely to easily outflank them, so it is better to return to Huaibei first in order to fight again.
Heard the words of General Mengwu.
Hear what the other generals say.
Wearing silver armor, Li Xin looked solemn as he looked at the map on the side. On it... Pingyu, Xixian, and Chengfu were moving one after another.
Sure enough, there was damage to the rear at this moment, and it was indeed a bit dangerous.
But he led the main army and finally met Xiang Yan's main force here. With the Tenglong Legion's combat power, what could he do with the more than 200,000 troops under his command?
The fact that this person avoids fighting may not be the result of his previous avoidance of fighting.
As expected, it would be a pity to give up the fighter opportunity in front of us.
"Generals, there is no need to say more."
"If we cannot defeat Xiang Yan's main force before midnight tonight... our army will withdraw to Huaibei."
After all, there are still many hidden dangers in the rear. Sure enough, if food, grass, logistics, and military equipment and arrows are blocked, the trouble will be even greater.
But the fighter plane in front of us cannot be lost no matter what.
Since Xiang Yan can't shrink away.
Then you will fight hard on your own.
See if he can come out.
"Mobilize all the remaining offensive equipment, and soon..., attack the Chu army by force."
Continuing from the preface, Li Xin gave another order.
"Report!"
"Xiang Yan's main army is gradually retreating and wants to return to Chengfu."
At that moment, the scout came to report with a loud voice.
"Want to run?"
"impossible!"
"General Meng Wu, please lead 50,000 vanguard cavalry in pursuit. We will arrive soon. Do you want the Chu army to retreat and defend the city?"
"The land of Ruyin has not been able to last for two hours. I don't know if Chengfu can last for one hour!"
Hearing the scout's words, Li Xin's expression, which had just been a little tangled, suddenly became overjoyed, and then he spoke happily.
If Xiang Yan wasn't afraid of fighting? How could it be like this?
The words of military strategy are to take advantage of victory and pursue it.
Immediately, another military order was issued.
"General Li, is this not Xiang Yan's plan to lure troops?"
Meng Wu didn't think that Xiang Yan had the advantage to avoid fighting at this moment.
Now... Xiang Yan's purpose is very clear, which is to hold back General Li Xin's main force until reinforcements arrive to form an encirclement.
Why did General Li Xin insist on not believing it?
"Even if you try to lure troops, the city of the father of the city must be able to hold on."
Li Xin waved his hand.
Not much to say.
"yes."
Meng Wu had no choice but to salute and led the leading cavalry to pursue the retreating Chu army.
At that time.
Mengwu's 50,000 iron cavalry came forward to pursue those in the rear of the Chu army.
Li Xin personally led the main army, together with the remaining siege equipment, and quickly pressed forward.
Half an hour later.
Xiang Yan's main force either entered Chengfu or defended around Chengfu.
"At any cost, attack the city father!"
Li Xin ordered again.
Immediately, the powerful crossbow cannon, the wheeled crossbow, the trebuchet, the three-bow powerful crossbow, the five-bow powerful crossbow... all exerted their final powerful force.
The cloud chariots lined up, the trench chariots advanced, and the siege chariots slowly approached the city father.
For a moment, the entire Ruyin scene reappeared on the top of Chengfu City. The city wall collapsed due to explosive objects, the battlements were destroyed, flames shot out, and even the previous defensive strength of City Father was gone.
"Uncle, since before half a stick of incense, the intensity of the Qin army's attack on the city has been much smaller."
"I'm afraid we won't send out troops until those powerful things are exhausted!"
The city father was occupied again. In a corner of the city, the generals of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan gathered together. They were all horrified when they heard the sound from the city in the distance.
Although they defended the city with force, the Chu army was afraid that they would have to pay a considerable price.
But the effect was also very obvious. The Qin army's attack force was much smaller.
Xiang Ji was so happy that he couldn't help but speak.
"No rush!"
"When marching and fighting, the most important thing to avoid is impatience. Wait until Li Xin has consumed all that stuff."
Xiang Yan waved his hand, looking at the domineering achievements of the Qin army, he could not help but raise his brows.
"I wonder if the Mo family can make this thing?"
"As expected, Li Xin's main force was defeated, but the Qin army still had strength. As expected, it was once again equipped with such weapons, making it difficult for our city to hold on."
"And it's hard to find fighter planes right now."
When the two armies fought, clothing, armor, and equipment were naturally an extremely important part. Xiang Yan felt that the Chu people were as brave as the Qin people.
But...the equipment used by the Qin army is really overbearing and cannot be overcome or even targeted, which will be the next big disaster.
"Those artifacts are indeed overbearing."
Fan Zeng felt the same way.
I knew the defenses in Ruyin, but even so, I couldn't even last two hours in Li Xin's hands.
Chengfu can only stay here for an hour at most.
Now more than one stick of incense has passed.
"Resolve the immediate situation first."
It's useless to think too much. It's only right to defeat Li Xin's main force.
Immediately.
Another stick of incense passed.
"Uncle, the Qin army can only rely on forceful attacks to suppress the formation at this moment, and such weapons are not visible."
"Our army is on a fighter plane."
Xiang Ji asked for battle again, and the generals beside him also bowed their hands.
"Keep waiting!"
"Go down with the order and hold on to the city."
Xiang Yan ignored it.
…
Another stick of incense passed.
"General, the Qin army has broken through two city gates and is attacking me with a large army."
The scouts came to report.
"The main force to trap and kill Li Xin is now."
Xiang Yan smiled brightly, looked at the general who had been waiting for a long time, and looked at his grandson who had been waiting for a long time, and issued this military order.
…
"kill!"
"kill!"
"..."
The main force of more than 200,000 Chu troops moved with all their strength. Powerful bows and crossbows pressed the formation, trebuchets were running, and the two sides came into contact in the streets and alleys.
In addition to Cheng Fu, the Chu army, which had been avoiding the battle, suddenly reversed the situation and counterattacked Li Xin's main force.
The few Qin troops who entered Chengfu's city first were killed first.
Next, the main force of the Chu army roared out from Chengfu City.
Outside the city, two wings were spread out, and the army was encircled. They had avoided fighting for a long time, and the Chu army, which had been recharging its energy, was making killing sounds, and its military power could not help but increase.
"General Li Xin!"
"As soon as our army entered the city, we were attacked and killed by ten times the Chu army."
"The Chu army's powerful bows and crossbows suppressed the formation, and the vanguard cavalry was seriously damaged. Our army lacked equipment and arrow clusters!"
…
"General Li Xin!"
"Hurry up and come. From where Xi County is, a Chu army with more than 100,000 troops is rushing here. It's less than two hours away."
…
"General Li Xin!"
"The remaining Chu troops in Ruyin are also preparing to disrupt our rear areas!"
"..."
"..."
Suddenly, a piece of news came from all directions, causing Li Xin, who was commanding the Qin army to decisively fight Xiang Yan's main force on the cloud chariot, to change his expression like a storm.
"How come?"
He murmured something for no reason, deep in his heart, his heart ached like a knife.
"General Li, our army has fallen into Xiang Yan's fist. We must retreat quickly, otherwise the Chu army will be in front and behind us, and we will be in danger."
Meng Wu said sharply.
Looking at Li Xin at this moment, he gave him a final warning.
"General Li, the Chu army is fully equipped and we will retreat quickly!"
"General Lee!"
"..."
After some persuasion from the generals, we really had to retreat.
Li Xin was stunned on the cloud chariot, looking dryly in the distance in the direction of the city father, where the Chu army was roaring towards him, and the pain in his heart was even more unbearable.
"Withdraw troops!"
"I will personally lead the cavalry to cut off the rear!"
With a difficult word, he staggered.
"General Lee!"
"Zhao Tuo will cut off the queen with you!"
Zhao Tuo came forward and supported Li Xin.
Hearing this, Li Xin was speechless.
Immediately, Meng Wu led the army to withdraw to the Pingyu area on the west side. Li Xin and Zhao Tuo led an army of 60,000 to cut off the rear. An hour later, they retreated with difficulty.
The Chu army refused to give up and clung to the Qin army. After yesterday's battle of Ruyin, the outside world's nightly battle against the Tenglong Army's 100,000 troops, and the current offensive and defensive battle.
No matter how majestic the Qin army's war horses are, they are only a few miles apart from each other.
The sound of trembling and trembling on the earth continued, and the sound of the roar of fierce horses spread between heaven and earth. The Chu army followed closely behind, moving very quickly.
"Retreat like this!"
"It hurts me."
Looking at Xiang Yan's main force pursuing from behind, Li Xin shouted angrily, "This battle... has suffered heavy losses. The attack on Chu... has not yet been accomplished."
"General Li, this is not the time to hesitate."
"Hurry up and report. There are already more than 100,000 Chu troops rushing in the direction of Xi County. Counting the time, we should be here soon."
"We will rectify our military strength in order to break through the blockade and rush to Huaibei."
Zhao Tuo said something again.
This time the attack on Chu was not considered a failure, it was just a setback.
Next, they still have a chance, but for General Li, I am afraid it will be unbearable. It is really... General Li is too eager to win and fight.
It has only been more than two months since we went south to attack Chu. In the past, it took two years to defeat the powerful Zhao State, and the Chu State was even more powerful than Zhao State.
It is really impossible to say that it can be extinguished in more than two months.
General Lee actually doesn't need to worry.
Among the kingdoms of Shandong, only Qi and Chu are left. As expected, if trouble occurs at this time, it will be troublesome.
