Chapter Five Hundred and Sixtieth Four Fights One You Tell The Widow How To Lose?

As the saying goes, his family knows his own affairs, and King Yuan of Chu is quite clear about the combat effectiveness of the Chu army under his command.

The 200,000 Chu army seemed to have a significant numerical advantage over the 150,000 Zhao army.

But fighting cannot be achieved by looking at whoever has more people.

In recent years, the Chu army has been defeated repeatedly by the Qin army, and the Qin army has been defeated repeatedly by the Zhao army.

This time, the 150,000 Zhao troops brought to Chencheng by Lian Po were the elite among the elite.

How can I fight this? I can't fight at all.

Not to mention 200,000, even if you have 300,000 Chu troops in your hand, King Yuan of Chu must carefully consider whether to face the 150,000 Zhao troops head-on.

Sometimes the disadvantages in combat effectiveness cannot be solved by quantitative advantages.

Of course, this is not absolute.

For example, now, after having more than 30,000 reinforcements, the available troops in King Yuan of Chu has reached 210,000, which is four times that of the 50,000 Zhao army outside the city.

Four against one, can't you lose?

Regarding this, Jingyang, the Shangzhu Kingdom, patted his chest and took it all: "Please rest assured, if the war is unfavorable, I am willing to take all the blame!"

Huang Xie, who was beside him, opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

The State of Chu is different from other countries. Ling Yin is both the highest political commander and the highest military commander, which is equivalent to a collection of Zhao's prime minister and the general.

Logically speaking, it is more reasonable to be directed by Huang Xie.

But Huang Xie chose to give in.

Looking at the sarcastic look that Jing Yang, who had taken the tiger talisman from King Yuan of Chu, cast at him, Huang Xie pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.

Zhao State has dominated the world in recent years, and it is the invincible iron army outside the city.

Even if they retreat, have the people of Zhao still not planned?

Lian Po is the only general who has won every battle today. Could it be that he really ran away directly and gave the tens of thousands of Zhao troops to the State of Chu? Is there such a good thing in the world?

He also has to thank Li Yuan. If it weren't for his reminder, he would have almost fallen into the trap of Zhao people.

When Ru Jingyang returns in a dilemma, I want to see how the three major families of yours are explaining to the king!

This night was destined to be a very long night for the monarchs and ministers of Chu.

Some people can't wait, some stand by, some have ulterior motives, some are secretly anxious, and more people hope to end this exhausting war as soon as possible.

The next day.

The huge rocks and wood that blocked the city gate were cleared out. The city gate that had not been opened for two months was opened. The vast Chu army came out from the city in rows, with cars first and then steps, smoke and dust rolling, covering the clouds and sun, and the momentum was huge.

Although there were also teams of Zhao troops gathering in the Zhao camp several miles away, it can be seen from the naked eye that the number of these Zhao troops is obviously much smaller than that of the Chu army.

King Yuan of Chu personally came to the city wall. After seeing this scene, he felt relieved. He immediately smiled at the ministers beside him and said, "You are here to watch how General Jingyang defeated the enemy today!"

The ministers of Chu State who followed King Yuan of Chu were all smiling happily, and their flattery drowned King Yuan of Chu like a tide. King Yuan of Chu squinted his eyes proudly, and the smile on his face was about to overflow.

Only Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, who was following King Yuan of Chu, exclaimed strangely, and said, "These Zhao troops knew that we had seen through their bluffing plan, why didn't they retreat, but wanted to advance to meet the enemy?"

After Huang Xie said this, the monarchs and ministers of Chu realized that the tens of thousands of Zhao troops that appeared in the Zhao army camp were really coming towards Chencheng.

The city was a little quiet for a moment.

After a while, another minister standing beside King Yuan of Chu suddenly laughed: "I guess this Zhao army knew that escaping was useless, and they could only seek to survive in death."

King Yuan of Chu nodded vigorously and laughed: "That's right, it's definitely the case!"

Chencheng City suddenly burst into laughter with joy.

Huang Xie stood there with a frown, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

If they really retreated, the people of Zhao could retreat overnight, right? Why do they have to leave these tens of thousands of people to die?

Even if you keep someone behind, it will be almost the same if you keep someone at the back. Why should you keep 50,000?

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

But at this time, Huang Xie was also very clear in his heart that no matter what he said, he would be ignored by others whose emotions had completely aroused, and maybe he would have to have a meal.

It is hard to disobey everyone's intentions.

So Huang Xie simply closed his mouth and quietly waited for everything that was about to happen.

No matter what conspiracy the people of Zhao have, the number of people is here, so if you can endure it, Jingyang will suffer a little, just let it go.

At this moment, in the southeast of Chencheng, an army under the banner of the Chu army was approaching quickly, and it was the reinforcements from the Chu State.

The rumbling drums began to sound among the Chu army's central army, and the two wings of the Chu army were heading towards the Zhao army like a tide.

The rumbling drums also sounded from the Zhao army opposite. When the 50,000 Zhao army faced the Chu army, which was four times as many as the Chu army, there was no chaos or panic at all, but came straight towards the Chu army.

A fierce battle began.

With the support of 30,000 reinforcements, the Chu army launched a three-sided attack on the Zhao army in front of them.

But what shocked the Chu monarchs above Chencheng was that even under such a disadvantage in numbers, the Zhao army still burst out with strong combat power.

The arrows shot from thousands of powerful crossbows fell densely like raindrops, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Chu army vanguard. Thousands of Zhao army cavalry kept wandering on the edge of the battlefield, delaying the progress of the two wings of the Chu army.

On the front battlefield, the Chu army encountered an opponent armored cavalry who had only been famous but had never fought.

A thousand armored cavalry instantly broke out like a torrent of steel. Blood and flesh were flying in the air, and the sharp spear tips reflected dazzling light in the sun. The screams made by the Chu soldiers could even be heard clearly at the head of Chencheng, several miles away.

The Chu army obviously lacked the experience of dealing with this armored cavalry. After three consecutive waves of defeats, it finally discovered that the armored cavalry could only rush forward. It began to plan to encircle the heavily armored cavalry.

However, this tactic began to go bankrupt before it could be implemented, because when the Chu people thought they had found the shortcomings of armored cavalry, the cavalry no longer appeared.

The biggest disadvantage of heavy armored cavalry is its endurance. Three consecutive waves of charge have exhausted all the horse's endurance and must wait for a reply.

But of course, Jing Yang, the chief general of the Chu army, could not know this. He felt that he was teased and was furious. He sent a large number of main troops to attack Zhao's central army, intending to come to a center to blossom.

The battle situation has come to its most tragic moment. Countless infantry soldiers on both sides collided fiercely like tides. Every moment, dozens or hundreds of soldiers have lost their lives in this battle. Human life is as humble as an ant at this moment, and even worse than an ant.

The Chu king and ministers above the city were watching the battle, and they were all dizzy.

Only 50,000 Zhao troops fought so tenaciously and resiliently when facing an enemy that was several times higher than them.

King Yuan of Chu was extremely grateful at this moment. If he had insisted on fighting against Lian Po's 150,000 Zhao army before, there would be no other way except to lose a big loss.

Fortunately, there were only 50,000 Chu troops in front of him. No matter how brave the armored cavalry were, how the Zhao army soldiers fought to the death. After paying for casualties far exceeding the Zhao army, the Chu army, which had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, slowly seized the initiative on the battlefield and began to turn this initiative into a victory.

Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The overall situation has been decided, and there should be no other waves.

Huang Xie suddenly found that he was already sweating and wet his heavy clothes at some point. When he looked up, he found that the sun had begun to slide down from the highest point in the sky.

This battle lasted nearly three hours, from morning to afternoon.

At this moment, Huang Xie was both happy and a little unhappy. He was happy because the Chu State was about to win, and the unhappy was because his great achievements were stolen by his arch-rival Jingyang.

The Chu rulers and ministers who stood with Huang Xie were all relieved and celebrated each other. The city wall was filled with congratulations and flattery.

However, at this moment, the rumbling sound of war drums suddenly came from afar.

On the plains in the north, countless smoke and dust rose, as if thousands of troops were coming towards the battlefield.

King Yuan of Chu suddenly frozen on his face.

Even though the smoke and dust were everywhere, the bright red in the smoke and dust, the red flag flying high in the smoke and dust, was still extremely dazzling to King Yuan of Chu at this moment!

Lian Po did not leave.

Lian Po is back.

After a long period of rapid march, the 100,000 Zhao troops who returned were in a flash and launched an attack on the Chu army, which had been fighting fiercely for a long time.

The Chu army, whose physical strength and willpower had reached its limit, was completely unable to resist the Zhao army's crazy counterattack, and was immediately defeated.

In just two quarters of an hour, 200,000 Chu troops retreated on their entire front, and countless defeated soldiers fled in chaos.

Behind these defeated soldiers, teams of Zhao soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, waving their weapons while chasing them while driving them towards Chencheng.

Seeing that the situation was not good, many Chu soldiers simply threw down their weapons, and knelt on the ground with their bodies protrudingly, and became prisoners with fear and trembling.

There was a dead silence above the city of Chencheng. Hundreds of Chu rulers and ministers stood there like clay statues. Everyone looked pale and could not believe what they saw.

King Yuan of Chu was trembling all over and almost fainted. He raised his hand and trembled to say something, but suddenly he staggered and fell directly towards the ground.

Huang Xie, who was standing beside King Yuan of Chu, quickly supported King Yuan of Chu with quick eyes and hands: "Are you okay, the king?"

"Wife, I am..." King Yuan of Chu's lips trembled and could not speak for a long time.
