Daliang, palace.
"Your Majesty, Xu's reinforcements are here!"
When the flag of Xu State was raised outside the city, people in Daliang City who saw this scene also rushed towards the palace to summon the message.
After receiving the news, Emperor Liang and his ministers were immediately overjoyed and hurried to the north gate tower of the city, heading in the direction from which Xu Jun came.
"It's coming, it's really coming."
When he saw the Xu army approaching in the billowing dust and smoke, Emperor Liang, who had aged dozens of years these days, couldn't help but shed tears.
No one knows how he spent these days.
He was frightened, tired and worried, fearing that Daliang and Liang Zuo would be destroyed by his own hands.
And this future, as Chu State's attack on Daliang continues to strengthen, is constantly getting closer to the goal of realization.
This terrible fact put an incredible amount of psychological pressure and blow on Emperor Liang.
He is a great innate master. In just a few months, he has aged twenty or thirty years. Wrinkles have appeared on his face and gray hair has appeared on his head. This shows the great psychological pressure.
Fortunately, all these problems can be solved with the arrival of Xu Guo's reinforcements.
"Your Majesty, a million troops from Xu are coming to our aid. It will be difficult for the Chu thieves to resist. I, Daliang, can be saved."
"Yes, the Chu thieves have been attacking the city for several months, with millions of casualties and casualties, and their vigor has been lost. The Xu army first arrived and showed its sharpness. It is impossible for the Chu army to resist."
"The opportunity to break the siege is now."
Many ministers of the Liang Kingdom were talking a lot at this time and looked excited.
Like Emperor Liang, they were besieged in the city for several months and suffered from the pressure of destroying the city and destroying their families every day. They were all very depressed.
When I saw the light at this time, I thought it was the hope of saving my life, and I naturally had to hold on to it.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jun has just arrived and has not yet established a foothold. He may be taken advantage of by Chu thieves."
General Yang Chen saw that everyone seemed to be overly excited. Although he was equally happy in his heart, he still had to stand up and said: "We should send reinforcements out to meet Xu Jun and lead them into the city."
Hearing this, Emperor Liang nodded in agreement and asked, "We should indeed send someone to respond. How many soldiers and horses are there in the city, and how many can be mobilized to respond to Xu's army?"
Yang Chen cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are still 130,000 troops in the city. In addition to the necessary defense, 30,000 people can be drawn out."
It has been two months since the siege of the city. After two months of continuous attacks, no matter how strong the troops in Daliang City were, they could not withstand the Chu army's siege regardless of losses.
The original 300,000 defenders now only have 130,000 left.
These 130,000 people were the final number left after recruiting the old and weak in the city continuously during this period and adding hundreds of thousands more.
From this aspect, it can be seen that Daliang is now weak.
That was really unbearable.
If Xu Jun doesn't come again, the city will be destroyed in three to five days at most.
The Liang Kingdom was also about to fall to the imperial capital. Even because there were no soldiers and horses, the eastern defense line was re-established in the rear. If the Chu army marched straight in, Guo Zuo might be directly destroyed.
This is the real desperate situation, the kind where you are about to die.
Fortunately, there is finally hope of breaking through this desperate situation. One million Xu troops are their hope.
"Send out, send them all out."
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Emperor Liang waved his hand and said without any hesitation: "The general will also follow. These troops and horses will be handed over to you. You must help Xu Jun enter the city."
At this point, it is no longer up to Liang people to decide whether Daliang can hold on.
It was decided whether Xu Jun, who came to the rescue, could enter the city.
If Xu Jun cannot enter the city, then it will be of no use for them to come.
The beam still cannot be saved.
If this is the case, what is the use of retaining tens of thousands of people now?
It's better to put it all out and take a chance on the opportunity that comes.
"I obey."
When Yang Chen heard the order, he did not shirk and directly agreed.
In the past, he, the great general, was the guarantee of the power of the top leaders of the Liang Kingdom.
So at that time, of course, you must ensure your own safety to maintain the interests of the family and the entire empire.
But now the empire is about to fall, and their families are also in danger. If you don't stand up and fight at this time, when will you fight again?
Therefore, Yang Chen, who knew this well, had no objection at all about leaving the city, but instead held firm determination.
Even if he dies, he must break through the blockade of the Chu army and welcome the Xu army into the city.
General Yang Chen left.
He acted quickly and immediately came to the military camp in the city, summoned the troops who were resting, and prepared to take them out of the city for a desperate fight.
Following Yang Chen's actions, news of the arrival of reinforcements quickly spread throughout the city, and endless cheers instantly erupted in Daliang City.
After being besieged for several months, trapped in the city, shrouded in death and hunger, the fear in the hearts of the residents of the city was no less than that of the higher-ups.
Even more and stronger.
Because compared to the higher-ups who control the force and power, they have no power to resist and can only wait to be killed. The personal safety of the lower-levels, who are at the mercy of others, is even less guaranteed.
After the city is broken, if something really bad happens, they will be the first to suffer misfortune.
Then there are the princes and nobles.
The world is very realistic and cruel.
There is a poem from the ancients that says, when things are prosperous, the people suffer. If they die, the people will suffer.
This is not nonsense, but stating the facts.
…
Daliang City was in a state of excitement due to the arrival of Xu Jun.
Outside the city, the Chu army's camp also entered into busy preparations for the war due to the arrival of Xu army.
The Liang people have been surrounded in the city and cut off from the outside world. Although there are experts to help deliver the message, how can their efficiency and completeness be as good as that of the Chu army outside the city?
In fact.
As for the arrival of Xu Jun, Chu Jun had already learned the news ten days ago, when Xu Jun entered Liang County.
From that time on, the Chu army began to make plans and preparations for this Xu army.
"Has Xu Ren arrived in the north of the city?"
In the Chinese army's tent, Lu Yuan finished reviewing an official document, then put down his pen, looked at the attendant next to him and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Xu people arrived in the north of the city a moment ago."
The attendant standing next to him heard the inquiry and immediately replied respectfully: "Now Master Qingyu is leading the army to fight with these Xu pioneers according to the plan, and the fight has already started."
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the reply. Shen Liang communicated with the clone named Qing Yu and immediately understood the situation. He couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, the war is going smoothly. It seems that it won't take long before Xu Ren's spirit can be defeated."
He was quite satisfied with the progress of the battle.
For Xu Guo who entered the situation without permission, Lu Yuan was slightly annoyed, but also couldn't help but feel happy.
Because he realized that this was actually an opportunity, an opportunity to capture Xu Guo's million-dollar main force.
Previously, Xu State had been huddled in Dongping County, concentrating on building a defense system there, with millions of soldiers and horses guarding it.
Facing such a turtle shell, Lu Yuan was not unable to fight, but it would definitely cost a lot.
Just look at the situation in Daliang and several other camp war zones.
Such a heavily guarded, well-fortified and well-fortified defense line, if you want to defeat it, the losses will be heavy.
That was a victory achieved at the cost of millions of casualties.
Lu Yuan had already killed enough people to attack Liangjun and Dongjun.
I don’t want to continue to kill so many people just to defeat Dongping County.
He didn't have that many people to use to die.
After all, now that all the cannon fodder has been used up, and we can only send people to fill the holes, we can only send them to our own people.
Therefore, those Xu people were originally hiding in Dongping County, hiding in turtle shells, and Lu Yuan did not want to move for the time being.
Compared with the two counties of Xu State and Qingzhou, which were built like copper and iron walls, Liang State, which had been crippled and had leaks in all its defense lines, was undoubtedly a better fat man.
Moreover, this piece of fat meat is bigger and more abundant, and it is far more filling than Xu Guo's.
To leave such a good piece of delicious food and not eat it, but to eat hard and stuffed dry food, you must have made such a choice because your brain is crazy.
Lu Yuan was not smart, so of course he had no idea about Xu Guo.
At least he didn't have this idea before destroying Liang Guo.
But now.
Xu Guo's own brain was twitching, and he took the initiative to come out and interfere in the war despite being protected.
He didn't even think about it, could a weakling like him participate in this war?
An army of one million does sound like a lot.
But among the various forces in Kyushu today that have survived to this day, which one can’t muster millions of troops?
Lu Yuan had more soldiers and horses in any camp than his reinforcements.
The Xu people thought that a million troops could save Daliang. I don't know if they were naive, stupid, or thought the Chu army couldn't fight.
The Chu army had been fighting for half a year and had indeed suffered heavy losses. In just one Liangjun battlefield, there were two million casualties.
But most of these casualties were Liang people's surrender. The number of Chu soldiers who actually died was not large, and the total number did not exceed 500,000.
Moreover, among these 500,000 people, civilian husbands still account for the majority.
The losses of the Chu army's elite were actually not large.
Therefore, the Chu army outside the city still has 2.5 million soldiers and horses, including 1.5 million elite soldiers.
In addition, there are 500,000 surrendered soldiers of Wei who have just been brought, and they are also good cannon fodder.
Therefore, the entire Chu army, including soldiers, civilians, and soldiers, actually numbered three million soldiers and horses, and its strength was still extremely strong.
In Daliang City, there were only hundreds of thousands of Liang Army remnants left.
Under this situation, Lu Yuan really didn't know where the people of Xu had the confidence to think that they could break the siege of Daliang City by sending one million reinforcements.
Yes, if these millions of Liang troops enter Daliang City, they can indeed consolidate the city's originally shaky defenses in an instant.
Relying on this city defense advantage, the Chu army of three million men may not be able to defeat it.
But there are one million more mouths at once. Is the food in Daliang City enough for so many people?
As far as Lu Yuan knew, although famine has not yet broken out in Daliang City, a food rationing system has been implemented, and it is obvious that food is already somewhat insufficient.
Think about it, Daliang City, as the original imperial capital in the world, has fallen into decline in recent years, but there are still one million people in the city.
With so many mouths, coupled with the original millions of defenders, wouldn't it be an astronomical consumption to eat it all in one bite?
Originally, Daliang City was not besieged, and food could be continuously transferred into the city through channels outside the city.
But now as the Chu army besieged the city, this channel was naturally cut off.
The city is gone, and new food supplies can only be obtained from the grain reserves stored in previous years.
Although Daliang had already considered the problem of food consumption after the siege, he had stored a large amount of food in advance as military supplies.
But no matter how much you prepare, it will still be a matter of feeding one or two million people, and it is not easy to raise it all.
If we piece it all together, it can barely be enough for these people to eat for a year.
But now, the Chu army has been surrounding the city for half a year.
And it seems that it is only a matter of time before the siege continues for another year.
After a year has passed, no matter how frugal the city is, it will face a food shortage crisis.
And if the millions of Xu troops outside the city join in, it will double the food consumption.
Not to mention another half year, whether it can last another two or three months, until it snows in winter, is a question.
At that time, I am afraid that without the Chu army taking action, the Liang and Xu people in the city will starve to death because of food problems.
By then, the enemy will collapse without a fight, and the Chu army will be able to take over the entire Daliang City easily.
From this aspect alone, Chu State was not at all panicked by the arrival of the Xu people.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
If the Chu army seizes the lifeline of Daliang City, it is equivalent to seizing the city.
Of course, these are just negative responses.
Although the task can be completed in the end, the time it takes and the variables that may arise during the waiting process mean that this is not the most perfect solution.
Rather than waiting for his enemies to starve to death, Lu Yuan prefers to take action himself and beat his enemies to death with his incredible strength.
As long as there are no more people, everything will be over and there will be no more problems.
And coincidentally, he had the strength to kill this uninvited Xu army.
What are you waiting for?
These two rolled up their sleeves and went to death.
So in order to let the opponent into Weng, the Chu army in the northeastern region of Liang County, under Lu Yuan's instruction, withdrew from the guarded city in advance before the Xu army arrived.
The passage to Daliang was cleared for them.
The purpose was to prevent Xu Jun from taking any care and to reach Daliang City smoothly.
Of course, the so-called giving up of the passage city is only temporary.
After the main force of the Xu army passes, the withdrawn Chu troops will soon come back and take back the cities they gave up.
Completely blocking Xu Jun's retreat.
As for the Xu Army who stayed on these retreat roads, those Xu Army defenders who took over the city?
With this small number of troops, Lu Yuan believed that under the consumption of his endless cannon fodder and the blows of his innate masters, they would not be able to cause any obstacles at all.
Retaking the abandoned city is only inevitable, not possible.
Not only were the roads opened, preparations also began in the Chu army camp outside Daliang City.
Millions of carefully selected elite soldiers who have been recuperating for a long time have gathered in the camp in the north of the city.
The innate generals in the army, Lu Yuan's clones, princes and princesses, a total of twenty innate masters, have also arrived at the camp in the north of the city.
Half of the elite forces of Liang Jun and Chu Army were already in full formation, waiting for the arrival of Xu Jun who had taken the bait.
Now that the bait has arrived, the vanguards of the two armies have even started fighting, and everything is developing rapidly as Lu Yuan hoped.
certainly.
The current progress is as Liang Ren and Xu Ren wished and is developing in accordance with their expectations.
The so-called luring a snake into a hole certainly does not mean that the Chu army is clever, but the Xu people are stupid and cannot see through the trap and plan.
Of course the other party knew that the Chu army had bad intentions, and also knew that going to Daliang would definitely be difficult and full of crises.
But even if he knew, Xu Jun would still come.
He had to save Daliang.
Liang Guo, he also had to help.
He couldn't do without Qingping County.
Even the Chu army and the Xu army had to fight.
With the above factors that cannot be avoided, Xu Jun had to jump into the pit ahead even if he knew there was a pit ahead.
There is a fight to be had on both sides.
If Liang is not saved, Xu will not survive when Liang is destroyed.
In this case, it is better to have a chance.
Let’s see if it’s your pit that’s deeper, or if I’m jumping further.
Such a war between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai was staged in Liang County in such a ridiculous way.
However, this drama will not end so soon. It will last for at least ten and a half months before it can be played to millions of people.
Therefore, Lu Yuan only paid attention to the beginning of the war. After confirming that the Chu army was not at a disadvantage, but had a considerable advantage, he did not pay too much attention.
His energy was redirected to other things.
For example, I just received a message here.
On July 20, Qing Xuanzi, the general manager of the East Road camp, finally achieved a breakthrough in Rencheng County after months of fierce fighting.
In the Battle of Chengcheng, the Dapoliang people served as city defenders, killing 210,000 enemies and capturing 170,000 prisoners.
Subsequently, the army took advantage of the situation and swept through Rencheng, and it was expected that the entire county would be wiped out in the next few days.
Once this county is lost, the Liang Kingdom's most important rear base, Jiaoxi County, one of the two counties of Jiaoxi and Donglai, will face the Chu army directly.
The core hinterland of the Liang Kingdom was missing again. Only Donglai County remained, and the war potential was reduced again.
Not only that.
In order to use the northern part of Rencheng County as a barrier, Daliang and Shanyang County, which are located in the easternmost part of Liang Kingdom, became a protrusion.
Today, the territory of the Liang Kingdom is like a tadpole, with its tail extending from the main body.
Those extended tails are Daliang and Shanyang counties.
What's worse is that in the southern part of Shanyang County, the tail was occupied by the Chu army and was bitten off.
Therefore, this protruding part appears to be more winding and the situation is more critical.
Under this situation, with the east route camp threatening Jiaoxi and Shanyang counties, it is no longer a question of whether Daliang can be defended.
Because as the highest point of the protrusion, it has even been cut off from the rear and has become the main beam for the gecko to cut off its tail. This is definitely no longer possible to hold on to.
The real problem for Liang Guo is whether the Shanyang defense line he originally prepared, the half-tail stretched out, can be preserved when the rear is threatened.
After all, Shanyang County at this time was facing the risk of being attacked from three directions by the Chu army from the east, south and west.
In such a harsh environment, it is not easy to re-establish a solid defense line here.
And Shanyang County, which is the fulcrum behind, is so dangerous.
With the back of the beams of Shanyang County, there is naturally no possibility of supporting it.
On the Daliang side, Xu Jun had just entered the urn, and in the blink of an eye, such good news came from the camp on the east road.
Such beautiful things naturally make people feel happy.
Even Lu Yuan was wondering if this was his method of cultivating luck. After accumulating so much luck, he began to accumulate it and feed back reality.
Otherwise, why would I have this feeling that God is helping me?
etc.
Considering the current dire situation in Kyushu, as the last immortal cultivator, he is still cultivating the way of luck, and he is also the master of the largest empire. He has so many auras in one body.
This template seems to be almost the same as the protagonist.
'Could it be that now that I have become God's son, God wants me to save the world? '
Lu Yuan looked up at the sky and couldn't help but guess.
