On the other side, directly in front of the Chu army, about 10 kilometers away, 20,000 heavy cavalry were on standby.

Not far away, more than ten light cavalrymen galloped over, they were scouts.

The war horse that the scout rides is low in strength, but fast, and does not wear any armor, so it speeds up quickly.

After the scouts arrived, they reported to Jiang Zehui: "The Chu army stayed in place for half an hour and finally continued westward."

"What's the speed? What formation?"

"Moderate speed, defensive formation."

"We neither went to Nuer City nor marched in a hurry. Could it be that my plan was wrong?" Jiang Ze thought deeply.

"It should be that Raymond, he is the wisest among the five-star generals." Chen Ling said.

"It seems that Chu Ba is good at listening to his subordinates' opinions and is more cautious in doing things. In this case, we can only set up an ambush on the road ahead and find ways to delay them."

"We only have 20,000 people, how long can we delay?"

"How long can we delay? In addition, a letter must be sent to the two tigers on horseback, so that they can attack the city day and night without delaying even a minute."

A few hours later, over in Yecheng, Luo Erhu received the letter and couldn't help but frowned.

Rogni also took the letter, and after reading it, he also frowned.

"I'm afraid the soldiers will be overwhelmed by attacking the city day and night."

"Then we will take shifts. During the day, the siege troops will attack the city. At night, under cover of darkness, ordinary soldiers can continue to attack the city." Luo Erhu said.

"But ordinary soldiers are not suitable for siege, regardless of their strength or armor quality. If they are allowed to attack, unnecessary casualties will be increased."

"There is no other way. Time is imminent. Some sacrifices cannot be avoided. A big hole must be opened within three days." Luo Erhu said firmly.

After that, Liejun faced the most difficult three days.

Jiang Ze set up ambushes at various levels along the road, but the effect was very little. Sometimes, in order to increase the delaying effect, Jiang Ze had to let heavy cavalry attack the Chu army's rear.

However, the Chu army adopted a defensive formation, with weak units such as logistics troops and militia troops at the innermost side of the central army. The heavy cavalry failed to break through many times.

In more than two days, the loss of heavy cavalry has reached 5,000. Although the Chu army also suffered a lot of losses, reaching more than 10,000, this battle loss ratio is considered good for the Chu army.

After Jiang Ze's fifth raid failed, he temporarily retreated.

Chu Ba ordered the entire army to reorganize for two hours before setting off, and by the way, he held a military meeting on the giant elephant.

This meeting was completely different from the last one. The atmosphere was much better and the morale of the generals was also very high.

Chu Ba said happily: "Everyone, so Jiang Ze is not a god. We were able to repulse him in five raids."

"That is, the more than five thousand they lost were basically elites. On the other hand, the troops we lost were basically ordinary troops." Other generals also agreed.

"We lost more than 10,000 yuan. Although this battle loss is better than before, there is no need to make you so happy." Raymond sneered.

"Leimeng, are you planning to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" Chu Ba looked at Raymond displeased.

"I'm just talking about the matter. Jiang Ze is good at guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, and sneak attack warfare. Now, in order to break into our army's weak areas, they don't hesitate to attack our defensive formations, so it's not surprising that there will be such battle losses."

"I don't care what he is good at or what he is not good at,

In short, if he comes again, we will continue to fight him off."

"But I still advise you not to be arrogant and arrogant. I am really worried that Jiang Ze will adopt a more sinister strategy in the next step."

"More dangerous? Like?"

"For example, if we give up heavy war horses and charge, and instead jump directly into the central area from the air, our militia and logistics troops will suffer heavy losses."

"But if they do this, wouldn't the risk be great? Once they enter the central area, they will be gradually surrounded by us. Without heavy cavalry to clear the way, they will not be able to break through and become the turtle in the urn." General Tiger said.

"Yes, except for a few people with powerful wind powers, most of them will have difficulty escaping and will be annihilated by us one by one. But we will face more than 100,000 casualties. What should we do then? Give up.

Should the wounded soldiers continue to advance, or should we slow down and treat all the wounded?"

Lei Meng's words immediately made all the soldiers speechless. Even Chu Ba didn't know what to do when faced with this kind of thing. Should hundreds of thousands of people give up? It's unrealistic. But if you don't give up, then

It was too late to rush back to Yecheng. Although Yecheng would not fall so soon, we were afraid of the worst. Of course, the sooner we go back, the safer it would be.

"Everyone, don't you think this worry is a bit unnecessary? Twenty thousand heavy cavalry is Jiang Ze's entire family, will he be willing to take risks?" Yutong said suddenly.

"It's hard to say. No one can say for sure what didn't happen." General Tiger replied.

"If I were Jiang Ze, I would never take risks in a hurry. Even if the plan to capture Yecheng fails in the end, but the strength of the troops is preserved, wouldn't it be safer to wait for Ao Lie's army to join us later? Why take risks and destroy your family fortune."

"This is indeed the truth, but Jiang Ze's ambition is beyond your imagination. The biggest reason why he is so anxious to advance is to become the lord of Ye City. He does not want to give the credit to anyone." Raymond said.

.

"This is your personal opinion. You are not Jiang Ze."

"Believe it or not, Jiang Ze is a born careerist and a conspirator. Don't forget, who does he look like?" Raymond said excitedly.

"Jiang Feng, what you mean is that when we face Jiang Ze, we face Jiang Feng. And Jiang Feng has established the most powerful country in Asia. Thinking about it this way, our enemy is indeed difficult to deal with." General Tiger

sighed.

"That's enough. I don't care if he is Jiang Feng or Jiang Ze. Stop raising other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige. I'm tired of hearing this. In short, we will try our best to get back to Yecheng and keep it no matter what.

Yecheng, even if... even if... hundreds of thousands of people really have to sacrifice."

When Chu Ba finished these words, the original relaxed and happy mood had long since disappeared, and the atmosphere became heavy again. Their goals were lowered again and again, and they did not dare to ask for anything more. As long as they could save Ye City, that would be enough.

I am satisfied.

Two hours later, the Chu army marched again. Now they were only one day away from Yecheng.

It was getting late now. In theory, he should slow down or rest in place. But in order to reach Yecheng as soon as possible, Chu Ba planned to continue marching at night.

Chu Ba kept praying in his heart: Jiang Ze, please stop being so greedy, stop being so desperate, and let people die less...

However, this kind of prayer seemed meaningless, and the Chu army finally ushered in the decisive battle.

Taking advantage of the darkness, 15,000 strong troops descended from the sky and fell directly into the central area of ​​​​the Chu army...

In an instant, boundless screams resounded throughout the sky.

On the other side, the Flying Tiger Regiment, after paying a huge price, successfully opened a large hole. The heavily armed and powerful spearmen forced their way in, and finally broke through the defenders' defense line.

Luo Erhu gave the order and rushed into Yecheng with 80,000 troops.

That night, the sky above Yecheng continued to echo with people's screams...

After daybreak, looking at Chu Ba's army, it was already in a mess. There were countless corpses lying on the ground, including those from the Lijun army and those from the Chu army.

In this battle, Jiangze lost more than 10,000 yuan, while Chuba lost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan directly, and there were about 100,000 wounded, including some officers. Even Generals Tiger and Yutong were injured to varying degrees. They were completely unscathed.

The only generals left are Lei Meng and Chu Ba. After all, one has space powers and the other has super speed.

Chu Ba floated in the air, looking at such a messy and tragic situation, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Jiang Ze, are you crazy? What exactly is war to you? Why do you have to do this? So many people's lives were wiped out overnight."

At this time, Lei Meng flew to Chu Ba's side and hurriedly replied: "The scouts came to report that the Flying Tiger Regiment invaded Yecheng last night."

"How is that possible?" Chu Ba immediately shouted excitedly.

"The Flying Tigers have been attacking the city day and night for several days, and after paying the price of 20,000 people, they broke a big hole."

"How long has it been? How long has it been since we invaded Yecheng?"

"More than three hours."

"Three hours, three hours, the palace may not have fallen yet, and there is still a chance. I will rush back immediately to save King Chu. I will leave this place to you."

"If you rush to the palace now, it will take five hours at the fastest. In five hours, a lot of things can happen."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I know King Chu is very important to you. Don't you still have a Binglan Pill? Give it to me and I can use the chain space technique to return to the palace in a few seconds."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you have this trick." Chu Ba quickly took out a Binglan Pill and handed it to Raymond.

Raymond took the Binglan pill and swallowed it in one gulp. A few seconds later, Raymond felt the strange energy rushing back.

"Open!" Raymond instantly activated the serial space technique, countless space gates merged, and the space spanned hundreds of kilometers.

Chu Ba walked into the space gate and came directly to Yecheng Palace. He turned to ask Raymond: "Do you want to come with me?"

"No, we still need someone to take charge of the overall situation here. You go and save King Chu first."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you there." After Chu Ba finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.

Raymond canceled the space and immediately fell from the air.

It turns out that this skill consumes a lot of superpowers. It only took a few seconds for the space to open, but it actually consumed all of Raymond's superpowers, making it difficult for him to even float in the air.

Raymond fell to the ground and knelt down half-kneeling, panting and sweating. This may be the sequelae of using his ultimate move.

Suddenly, Raymond saw a pair of unfamiliar black leather shoes.

In the army, everyone wears combat boots, and it is impossible for anyone to wear leather shoes.

A bad premonition suddenly hit his heart. Raymond slowly raised his head and was horrified to find that Jiang Ze, without any armor, was standing in front of him openly.

"Leimeng, thank you for sending Chu Ba away." Jiang Ze showed a very proud smile.
