Li Yuan's face immediately became more excited: "What does His Highness want?"
Zhao Rui took out a soldier talisman and gave it to Li Yuan.
"The cavalry brought by this king will allocate 100,000, and General Li will select another 100,000 from the Chu army who stayed in Sansanlipu, and march west to Yancheng to cooperate with Liang Guogong!"
"General Li has the final say on how to fight!"
Li Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and Zhao Rui was relieved to let him, a surrendered general who had just surrendered, lead the army!
"Your Highness, I..."
"Why, General Li thinks that 200,000 troops are not enough?" Zhao Rui said with a smile: "Then bring more. There are at least 800,000 troops gathered in the direction of Yancheng. It is really difficult to fight..."
"No!" Li Yuan immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general doesn't need 200,000, just 150,000!"
Zhao Rui turned around and continued to stare at the sand table: "General Li, get ready and set off tonight!"
"General, take your orders!" Li Yuan took the military talisman and walked out of the commander's tent excitedly.
In the direction of Yancheng, Liang Zhang has been confronting Jing Cui here for more than two months. They have fought dozens of large and small battles, with both sides winning and losing, but they have not achieved much results. They have only advanced a dozen miles and occupied the area.
Four cities.
Jing Cui deliberately allowed him to occupy these territories in order to shrink his troops!
"Is there any way to open this guy's turtle shell?"
Liang Zhang was quite irritated. Since he took charge of the army, apart from facing off against several princes of Dashang, he had never fought such a difficult battle.
At first, he could still use tricks to trick Jing Cui out and fight for a few times, but now Jing Cui doesn't pay attention to him at all.
After shrinking the front line, the army was huddled in several fortified cities such as Yancheng. No matter how tempted Liang Zhang was, they would not come out.
Even if Liang Zhang sent people to scold the city every day and scolded Jingcui's eighteen generations of ancestors, they would not come out!
"My lord, Jing Cui is a famous general in the world. Now he has narrowed the defense line and focused on defense. We can't attack it no matter what, so we can only fight with them!"
"Yes, our Great Shang has sufficient supplies of food, grass and troops. Even if the Great Shang stays here for three to five years, it will not be a problem. Southern Chu is already on the verge of collapse. I don't believe how long they can hold on!"
"My lord, don't worry. A large part of the reason for Jingcui's contraction of the front line is that there is no shortage of food and grass. As long as we continue to besiege, we will starve to death!"
...
The generals present seemed not to take Nanchu seriously at all. In their view, Nanchu's defeat was only a matter of time.
Liang Zhang was furious and slammed the table.
"Fart, the money and food for my great businessman are not brought by the strong wind, but are earned by the hard work of the common people! As soldiers, we must think quickly and make quick decisions. How can we delay here and waste money and food?"
The generals who had been boasting just now suddenly became quiet and did not dare to say another word.
Liang Zhang took out the accessory and inserted it into the Yancheng position of the sand table.
"Just think about how to open this turtle shell!"
Everyone present will look embarrassed. Jing Cui built the city here extremely strong. No matter how powerful their siege equipment is, they can't break it.
A lot of tricks were used, but Jing Cui didn't fall for it at all.
The battle situation in front of them has reached a stalemate. Unless they find a way to break the situation from other directions, they can go further!
