This court meeting did not resolve any substantive issues. The Chu State was in a turbulent situation of external wars and internal riots, and it was possible to overturn at any time.
Under this situation, I don't know how many ministers secretly communicated with Xiao Yuan through letters, most of which were words of goodwill in order to seek a way out.
Among them, the doctor directly stated that the Lord is ignorant. If His Highness the King of Qin needs anything, please give me your instructions.
After receiving these letters, regardless of whether they were useful or not, Xiao Yuan responded to them one by one and secretly communicated with the Chu ministers many times to seek suitable opportunities.
At the same time, Wu Du.
Here, Su Yi has been attacking for more than a month, but the opponent's defender Shao Lie led the imperial troops to hold on and still failed to conquer. The battle was very fierce.
This cannot be blamed on Su Yi. The capital city of a country is very solid. There is no shortcut to this city and we can only attack it hard.
With 80,000 troops to storm a large city, and the other side's defenders are the best of the best, no matter who it is, the result will be the same.
On this day, in the Chinese army's tent, Su Yi was issuing the final combat order.
Within three days, Wudu must be captured!
This simple and direct order made all the generals couldn't help but look at each other. The offending general moved his lips and said cautiously: "Commander Su, after many strong attacks, all the soldiers above and below are exhausted. The enemy resisted desperately for three days. In the meantime, I'm afraid...it's really difficult to conquer..."
"Our army is tired, and the enemy's army is even more tired!" Su Yi said unceremoniously: "This is not a discussion with you, but a military order from my commander!"
As he spoke, he looked around again: "After three days, if Wudu is not conquered! All generals, including me, will be demoted to three levels!"
"Even if I kill all the people! I still have to conquer this place!"
This is an unquestionable order.
With such words, the faces of all the generals straightened up, and they all clasped their fists and shouted: "I have the order!"
Under Su Yi's iron-blooded military orders, the Qin army launched an unprecedented offensive the next day.
In the previous attack on the city, due to the superior location and defense of Wu's forbidden army, it was very difficult for the Qin army to achieve three-for-one or four-for-one, and the offensive was often blocked and retreated.
But today, it was obviously different from usual. Looking at the entire battlefield, under the random arrows, the entire city wall was covered with ladders. The soldiers of the Qin army were advancing one after another. One group fell, and another group immediately rushed up. They were fighting desperately. Law!
This desperate attitude of fighting to the end frightened Shao Lie to a certain extent. Yu Cheng couldn't help but walked away quickly and shouted: "Hold it! Hold it -"
He is personally commanding, and on the Qin army's side, the generals of various ministries are on the front line, holding swords and taking the lead.
"All soldiers must fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
"Starting from this general, no one is allowed to take a step back!"
"Anyone who is timid will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill--"
Pointing their swords and shouting, the various generals and lieutenants, with their respective subordinates, rushed towards the city gate crazily.
While climbing the ladder, rolling rocks fell down and screams were heard everywhere.
There are also generals who failed to swing their swords and were hit by random arrows. They ignored the arrow injuries and continued to shout orders.
Although this fierce battle was not a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, it was more tragic than any previous battle!
Because people are dying every moment!
The blood of the soldiers on both sides was sprinkled all over the city gates. The blood followed the cracks in the bricks and stones, collected at the base of the wall, and flowed like a stream.
There were piles of corpses at the base of the wall, rocks were scattered, and carved feathers were inserted diagonally, but they could not stop the Qin army's offensive.
Several hours after the battle, near the commander's position, looking at this tragic scene, the civilian officer Lu Fan had already turned pale and stammered: "Su...Commander Su, our army has been on the offensive for a long time. Do you want to take a break for the time being?" "
"What did you say!?" Su Yi glared angrily.
"Commander Su, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, but the Wudu city defense is still impregnable. If we continue like this, we don't know how many people will die..." Lu Fan pointed to the front and said sadly.
"This is a battlefield! There is no undead person in a war! If we attack Wudu one day later, there will only be more casualties!"
What he said was right, the longer the war dragged on, the greater the casualties would be. But as soon as he finished speaking, a school captain ran over quickly, looking panicked, cupping his fists and saying tremblingly: "Commander Su, I Our officers and men have been severely damaged and are no longer able to attack the city!"
Su Yi didn't say anything about his problem, but his face suddenly darkened, and he stared at the captain coldly and said: "Who asked you to come here! Is this handsome enough to win the gold!?"
"This." The captain swallowed.
Su Yi's face became colder and colder: "As a general of our Qin army! You evacuated the battlefield without hearing the sound of gold! How dare you escape before the battle!"
ah! ? When the captain heard this, he was shocked and was about to explain, but Su Yi shouted again: "Left and right! Drag me down and chop him down!"
"No!" The commander's bodyguard didn't care so much. He immediately responded, pulling the captain away with him to the left and right.
"Commander Su, please spare your life, Commander Su, please spare your life, the general is not running away from the battlefield..." The captain naturally shouted in hiss.
But Su Yi couldn't understand, and the civil servant Lu Fan panicked and urged: "Commander Su, General Ren is not guilty of this..."
"Without an order, he evacuated the front line without permission! He disturbed the morale of our army and dared to say that he was not guilty!" Su Yi was furious. There was no doubt that he actually beheaded a school lieutenant during the war.
Lu Fan was dumbfounded.
After refuting him sternly, Su Yi immediately said in a loud voice: "Send my military order! If anyone is afraid of the enemy again, he will be treated as a deserter and will be punished according to military law! Tell all the generals! The soldiers have finished fighting, and the commander of thousands comes up! The commander of thousands has finished fighting! School! Lieutenant! All the captains are dead! I personally attack the city!"
On the battlefield, Su Yi's heart was as hard as stone.
You know, he is the commander of the first army.
Under such an order, the fierce battle lasted for two full days. On the morning of the third day, the Wu Kingdom's imperial army finally could no longer withstand it because all of Shao Lie's men had been defeated.
The city gate was smashed open.
"Kill--"
There were generals holding their swords high, covered in blood, and shouting excitedly.
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and the Qin army swarmed in.
In the chaos, the few remaining Wu Kingdom's imperial troops were quickly chopped to the ground with swords, and the flags at the top of the city were immediately replaced with black flags.
This battle in Wudu lasted for more than a month. Although the city was captured, the Qin army also suffered serious losses and paid a heavy price.
There were more than 30,000 dead soldiers and thousands of wounded, which clearly shows the elite of the Forbidden Army.
In the palace of King Wu.
"Report~~~~~"
A forbidden soldier hurried over, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, Qin... The Qin army has already captured the capital..."
"What!?" King Wu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but stand up. After a moment, he fell back and looked at Xiang Mo who was standing below. He said with the last glimmer of hope: "General Xiang Mo, can... Can you defend the palace?"
The Kingdom of Wu has a total of 10,000 forbidden troops, 8,000 of which were taken by Shao Lie to defend the city, and 2,000 were left at the palace.
Hearing this, Xiang Mo rolled his eyes, clasped his fists and lowered his body, saying, "I will do my best to protect the king."
