I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 185

Two days later, the 15 troops from Liyang led by Zhao Kai, the 15 Qingzhou troops including the Qingzhou Navy led by Jing'an King Zhao Xun, the 45 Huainan Army led by Huainan King Zhao Ying, the [-] Shu Army led by Chen Zhibao, and again A total of [-] soldiers from southern Xinjiang with a total of [-] soldiers and a total of [-] troops launched a general attack on Western Chu at the same time.

This is already the largest war that Liyang has waged in the past 20 years. The hundreds of thousands of troops also make Guangling Road a bit crowded, with golden horses and iron horses, countless troops are constantly advancing like a torrent.

The 15 Liyang army in the middle was led by Zhao Kai, the vanguard general Lu Shengxiang, and the military adviser Zhang Bianguan. With thousands of ships lent by the Xuanyuan family, they crossed the Guangling River and went straight into the hinterland of Liyang.

King Jing'an Zhao Xun, Huainan King Zhao Ying, and Chen Zhibao also joined forces to attack the west with an army of nearly 15, and each vassal fought independently.

The 15 army in Southern Xinjiang is mainly attacking the south, and there are many famous generals such as Wu Chongxuan and Wang Tongshan under his command. The 15 army is already close to three-quarters of the strength of Southern Xinjiang. can be more.

Compared with Liyang, there are more soldiers and more generals, well-equipped, and sufficient supply of food and grass.Xichu's side seems to be much worse. There are no more than 20 soldiers in the country, and they are all formed temporarily.Obviously, such strength cannot compete head-on with Liyang's 45 troops.

The three armies are like tridents, each of them is the main attack, and they support each other, mainly based on Zhao Kai's orders. Of course, it is unknown whether those big feudal lords will listen to Zhao Kai's orders.

The army from the middle road forcibly crossed the Guangling River, and it was considered quite smooth. As previously thought, within a day, the Liyang army won a complete victory, and rushed forward for another 15 miles, and the [-] army passed smoothly. After leaving General Guangling, they headed towards the hinterland of Western Chu. The ships of the Xuanyuan family were also constantly transporting food and supplies to ensure logistical supplies.

The other two roads were successful at the beginning, and they also gained a lot. They completed the task of advancing the army and continuously reduced the living space of Xichu.

The next day, Li Yang's central army advanced another [-] li, and even went down two counties. They didn't encounter particularly fierce resistance along the way, which was equivalent to a flat push all the way.

As for the other two lanes, the battle situation was not as smooth as expected.

First, the army to the west was ambushed by the Western Chu Navy led by Cao Changqing. After several battles, the two sides won each other. The offensive order had little effect.

As for the Southern Xinjiang army in the south, Cao Changqing did not hesitate to send his disciple Xie Xizhen and Kou Jianghuai to sit in the command. Xie Xizhen coordinated the battle and commanded the main army of Western Chu.

Kou Jianghuai's army is like a ghost, constantly harassing and sniping, intercepting and harassing, even the powerful southern Xinjiang army, the experienced generals of southern Xinjiang, still can't take advantage of it, and for a while, the army on the southern front also caught in a stalemate.

Ever since, with the passage of time, the battlefield began to develop towards a strange situation. On the one hand, the army in the middle road was like a broken bamboo. Wherever it went, it did not encounter any fierce resistance. When it encountered a slightly larger city, It didn't take much effort to attack it.

This greatly boosted the morale of the already sluggish army. Originally, they were disgraced by Xichu Shuangbi. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, they also lost a large area of ​​territory, but they did not expect that after Zhao Kai's personal conquest.Not to mention the winning streak all the way, basically did not encounter any decent resistance, Rao is a veteran of the Spring and Autumn Period who has been fighting for many years, and he can't help but sigh with emotion, "The teacher of the emperor is really extraordinary."

The rest of the two armies were under the heavy care of Xichu. The battle situation was very anxious, and they could hardly advance an inch for several days. All of a sudden, more than [-] pawns were lost.

Even though the strength of the troops is nearly twice that of the enemy, they are still timid.

The originally vigorous three-line push became the only one in the middle army. In half a month, the army has advanced hundreds of miles in a row. At this speed, it only takes half a month to reach the city god of the Western Chu capital. Phoenix.

In front of the main general's camp, military adviser Zhang Bianguan frowned, not feeling the joy of winning the battle at all. Looking at the battle map in front of him, he said worriedly:
"Your Majesty, although our army has won consecutive battles right now, in fact, some solitary troops have penetrated deep, and there are no reinforcements on the left and right. If the back road is cut off again, we will be really isolated and helpless. I suggest that we should postpone the march. It is the best policy to wait until the other two armies have made some achievements before deploying."

Zhao Kai's army is like getting into a huge pocket at this time, which is extremely aggressive in military terms, and it is easy to fall into danger.

But it was also a good time to go straight to Huanglong, as long as the Divine Phoenix City was broken, then Xichu would also be defeated on the other two fronts, so why fight when the imperial city is gone?
As a military advisor, Zhang Bianguan also hesitated at this time, after all Zhao Kai was still in the army, if he was put in danger, then he would really die.

"I don't know what those lords are doing for food. Obviously, their military strength is far superior to them. After fighting for so long, there is no result at all! They are still lingering in place."

Zhao Kai thought:
You still count on them?If we don't move forward, they can fight for a year... no, half a year, believe it or not?
Looking at the sand table in front of him, with a calm face, he said with a smile:
"West Chuman is full of only 20 elite soldiers. The west and south roads must have consumed more than 15. Adding in the [-] to [-] prisoners we killed these days, the people staying in Divine Phoenix City at this time, even with the city It is absolutely impossible for Li's light and strong to exceed [-], but I want to see how Cao Changqing will respond when our soldiers arrive at the capital!"

Zhang Bianguan was still a little hesitant. He wanted to capture a capital with less than 15 yuan, which seemed a bit difficult no matter how he looked at it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send an order to the other two armies to send some troops over?"

Zhao Kai shook his head and said:
"No need, the opportunity for war is fleeting, so don't miss it! I have passed on my will, and starting tomorrow, except for the city occupied by the 12 people who stayed behind, the remaining [-] troops will follow me and go straight to the capital of Western Chu, Shenhuang City. .

In addition, an order was sent to the other two chief generals to hold back the main force of Western Chu, and they must not be allowed to return to the capital, and told them that I am waiting to celebrate with them in the Emperor City. "

"promise!"
