"Marquis Quyang actually sent troops! He actually won his first victory!?" Le Yi didn't understand, but was shocked!
How dare he?
That's Qi State!
Even Le Yi, who had the entire Yan State behind him, felt uneasy at this time - he was afraid that Qi State would settle the score in the future. If Qi cannot be defeated in this battle, who can stop Qi's revenge next?
As for Quyang Hou Xiong Wuliang... Chu State's attitude towards him sending troops was only 'tacit approval', which meant that Chu State would not even endorse his attack on Qi.
Of course everyone is happy if they win.
What if we lose? Xiong Wuliang can only bear the revenge of Qi State!
"This guy is so brave!" Le Yi couldn't help but admire.
Xiong Wuliang's letter was conclusive - he would continue to march in an effort to force Chuzi to cross the river and fight the allied forces. At the same time, he reminded Le Yi not to forget the agreement that "all the cities captured by the Chu people will belong to the Chu State." So...
Le Yi put down the military newspaper in his hand, dumbfounded.
Xiong Wuliang was vague in his letter, and Le Yi didn't know how many soldiers he had.
It is estimated that there are only a few thousand people at most.
To be able to capture [Wucheng] and get off to a good start was because of bad luck and the result of the country's lax defenses.
Does Xiong Wuliang still want to continue to get lucky?
Qi State is not a fool - after losing [Wucheng], the cities behind will definitely be strictly guarded, and it is impossible to give Xiong Wuliang a chance to win easily.
Then again, not to mention that Xiong Wuliang only had his own private army... Even if the King of Chu made the decision and dispatched tens of thousands of troops, he wouldn't dare to pat his chest and promise that he could wreak havoc in the hinterland of Qi and force him to jump over the wall. !
Le Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "This little Quyang Marquis of Chu State is quite lucky."
"It's just that it's too shameless."
"He said that he would use a lone army to wreak havoc on the southern border of Qi... I, Le, really don't believe it."
Having said that, Le Yi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
What if? What if?
…
Qi army camp.
Almost at the same time as Le Yi, Chuzi received a military report.
"What? Wucheng was lost!?" Chuzi's pupils suddenly tightened!
As a general of the Qi State, Chuzi certainly knew about [Wucheng], a small city in the southern part of the Qi State, and what an important strategic position this humble little city held.
"Didn't you say that the State of Chu did not join the coalition?" Chuzi was so nervous that he started to sweat.
If Chu State takes advantage of this moment to intervene and send out 100,000 or even 200,000 troops to attack the southern part of Qi State...then things will be too difficult.
Not to mention, those unfaithful Southern barbarians from the Chu State are really capable of doing such ungrateful things.
After a while, Chuzi breathed a long sigh of relief.
The military report clearly stated that it turned out that they were just private soldiers of Marquis Quyang of Chu State, and they happened to be lucky enough to capture Wucheng.
This Quyanghou is no stranger to Chuzi.
This guy's illustrious reputation can stop children from crying at night in Qi State.
But... no matter how capable he is, it is still difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw - how many troops can he have? How much threat can it pose to China?
The garrison troops stationed in the southern part of Qi State alone total tens of thousands of people!
"Reply to the letter - just tell them not to panic...if you get the chance, chop off Mi Liang's head!" Chuzi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
…
The capital of the King of Qi - Linzi.
King Qi Tian Bijiang looked at the military report in his hand and felt angry in his heart!
"It's this Mi Liang again!" Tian Bijiang said with a trace of coldness between his teeth: "This person is determined to be my enemy, Daqi!"
"If I don't kill this man, I will have trouble sleeping!"
"The king's order is passed down to me - the troops and horses in all parts of Qinnan must be on strict vigilance, and the Chu people must not go any further... If anyone can capture this man alive and offer it to Linzi, so that I can kill this thief... I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold. Seal thousands of households!”
"If we can't capture Xiong Wuliang alive...if we can offer Mi Liang's head, I will be rewarded heavily!"
…
At this moment.
Xiong Wuliang was thinking deeply in front of the map.
If you want to achieve the goal of shocking Qi and forcing Chuzi to fight the allied forces in Jixi as soon as possible... Of course it is not enough to capture a small city like [Wucheng], you must at least capture [Jucheng].
There are two cities separated between Quyang Xinjun and Jucheng!
[Wuyang], [Yangdu].
According to the scouts' reports, the Qi troops in these two cities were already on full alert, preparing to attack the invading Chu people head-on.
A conservative estimate is that the enemy army should number in the thousands...if you include the defenders of Jucheng, the Qi army in front of them will total tens of thousands.
Judging from the combat power alone, the tens of thousands of Qi Army garrison soldiers should not be the opponent of the 10,000 Quyang New Army - but the problem is that the Qi Army is protected by city walls. If they push forward forcefully all the way, even if they can capture Jucheng with the powerful combat power of the new army, they will suffer heavy casualties.
From the bottom of his heart, Xiong Wuliang did not want his new army to suffer too many casualties.
"My lord, are you thinking about how to break the city?" Zhao Hua suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Xiong Wuliang hummed without looking back.
Zhao Hua stroked his beard and smiled——
"My Lord, I have a plan to defeat Ju City."
"As long as this is the case..."
The next day, Xiong Wuliang ordered his general Shao Hu to lead three thousand elite soldiers and go straight to Wuyang.
He led the main force and stayed far behind.
Shaohu's three thousand elite soldiers arrived at the foot of Wuyang City. Sure enough, they saw the soldiers and armor on the city head were neatly decorated and the Qi army was ready.
Shaohu couldn't help but sigh to himself: "If we force the ants to attack the city... even if we conquer this city, our army will have to pay considerable casualties."
However, this place is too far away from the fiefdom, and it is difficult to use catapults and massive stone bombs to smash down the city wall... If you want to break the city, it seems that you can only set up a ladder to attack.
Shaohu waved his hand: "Send the order—cut wood and set up camp where you are!"
The three thousand soldiers did not take off their armor and went straight to the surrounding woods to cut wood. Under the dumbfounded gaze of the Qi army on top of the city, they camped only 800 steps below the city.
…
The guard at the top of Wuyang City was a Qi clan general named Tian Yao.
Seeing that the Chu army came to the city, Tian Yao secretly sighed!
What are you afraid of? This damn Xiong Wuliang is indeed coming to the east!
It should be noted that after losing [Wucheng], Tian Yao once imagined that the Chu army would stop advancing... Even if it must continue to advance, the Chu army may also march towards the north or west... It does not necessarily have to fight his own [Wu Yang] 】.
Horse riding.
At present, Chu State Mi Liang’s idea of invading the army is very clear!
They want to attack Wuyang and Yangdu all the way, and then threaten Jucheng!
Tian Yao narrowed his eyes slightly - since a war is inevitable, let the Chu people see that the Qi people are not easy to bully!
After Wucheng was captured by the Chu army, almost none of the Qi troops who escaped were defeated, and there was no news of Yu Ji, the defender of Wucheng... He must have fought to the last moment and died for his country.
Tian Yao clenched the sword at his waist.
I, the Wuyang garrison, am not a vegetarian either!
There were originally only a thousand defenders in Wuyang City - but Qi troops from all directions came to support them. Together with the temporarily recruited local soldiers, Tian Yao now had four thousand soldiers in his hands.
The number of Chu troops under the city is obviously smaller than mine... If they really want to attack the city, give them a blow in the head!
