Chapter 295 Where is the vitality of Gubei City?

Inside the military tent, Ouyang Shu slowly clenched his fists.

Murong Zhao was threatening.

Threatening him with Ouyang Xu's life was also telling him that if he, Ouyang Shucai, did not send troops to Linghe, his Ouyang family would be wiped out in Beiyan.

An emperor who adopts such an attitude has no room for maneuver.

If this place was not the main camp of the Zhenxi Army, and the 150,000 Zhenxi Army soldiers all obeyed the orders of Ouyang Shucai, Murong Zhao would probably have really taken action to capture him.

Behind Ouyang Shucai, a black shadow of a war elephant appeared and disappeared.

Only after reaching out and grabbing the broken jade pendant on the chessboard did Ouyang Shu walk out of the tent.

Outside the big tent, King Zhao Ying Ji stood with his hands behind his back.

"Marquis Zhenxi, have you been to the Great Wall in the North?" Ying Ji said in a low voice.

Ouyang Shucai nodded.

"Once you've been there, you'll understand that the so-called dispute among the five countries and three regions is nothing more than a trivial game." King Zhao said softly with a calm expression, looking into the distance.

Ouyang Shucai didn't say anything.

It was because he had been to the Great Wall in the North and seen the barrier built with countless human bones that Ouyang Shucai had no interest in the conflict between Qin and Yan.

Just as King Zhao said, the battle between Great Qin and the four kingdoms and three regions was not really a life-and-death struggle.

From the beginning to the end, the Qin Dynasty only used the four countries and three regions as a place to hone its own soldiers and generals.

Otherwise, the Northern Great Wall could simply withdraw one of its troops and sweep across Yongtianzhou.

"Marquis Zhenxi, your inheritance is one of the twelve divine prison guarding techniques, the Dragon Elephant Prison Guarding Technique that values ​​energy, blood, bravery, and martial prowess, right?"

King Zhao turned around and looked at Ouyang Shucai.

"Your inheritance is incomplete. If you want to truly condense the power of the dragon elephant, you have no choice but to go to Daqin."

With a chuckle, King Zhao handed a golden token to Ouyang Shucai.

"A prince of the Qin imperial family can enter the imperial library once in his lifetime."

"I recognize the brand, not the person."

Ouyang Shucai's expression changed, and he finally reached out to take the token.

"I……"

King Zhao shook his head, his expression calm.

"I, Ying Ji, have shouldered a lot in this life, yet have yet to achieve anything."

"The Zhao Wang family has fallen into decline in my hands. I can do what I can," Zhao Wang Ying Ji whispered softly with a hint of determination in his eyes, "it's worth it."

……

Half a day later, the 80,000 Zhenxi troops, led by Zhenxi Hou Ouyang Shucai, slowly left the temporary camp and headed towards Linghe.

According to the arrangement of the Marquis of Zhenxi, the remaining 70,000 Zhenxi troops were handed over to the Emperor of Dayan, Murong Zhao, to lead personally.

Murong Zhao would lead the army in person and march straight into Gubei City.

In the garrison, the remaining soldiers were reorganized and divided into fifteen battalions, namely the front and rear army, under the command of dozens of generals from the Imperial City Dragon Armor Guard.

Two days later, Emperor Murong Zhao of Great Yan personally led an army of 70,000 and marched towards Gubei City.

The army was not moving very fast. As it advanced, it was integrating its troops and training its generals.

Murong Zhao was not in a hurry and just led his army straight ahead.

When the army set up camp, he summoned King Zhao Ying Ji to play chess with him.

————————————————————

Gubeicheng.

The prefectural hall was converted into a temporary military affairs meeting hall.

In the middle of the lobby, a map of one and a half meters in radius was spread out.

On the map, there are markings from the Gubei City line to the Linghe Camp, as well as the surrounding locations within a thousand miles.

Master Gu, Xun Tao and others placed small flags on the map, surrounded by Zhang Yuan, Yuchi Feng, Xiao Lou and others who were solemn and silent.

"Ouyang Shucai led 80,000 troops to the Ling River, and joined forces with the Jubei Army to attack the Linghe camp. They set up camp a hundred miles away." Yuchi Feng's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists. "It will take at least five days for the main force of the Chilin Army to cross the western border and arrive." "Five days..."

On the fifth day, the Linghe camp could no longer be defended.

The Jubei Army and the Zhenxi Army are said to have 200,000 troops, and they attack from the front and back. There are less than 100,000 coalition forces in the Linghe camp. How can they defend it?
"Murong Zhao's 70,000 troops are arriving very slowly." Princess Fengming looked at the mark on the map and whispered, "He's not in a hurry."

Xiao Lou stared at the empty space between Gubei City and Linghe Camp on the map. "Of course he's not in a hurry. If the camp collapses, they'll definitely retreat to Gubei City. He can just cut off their retreat."

"The main camp fought to the death, while he advanced slowly, captured Gubei City, and also cut off the main camp's retreat..."

All previous deductions took into account that the Zhenxi Army would split up.

However, both Xiao Lou and Zhang Yuan believed that the probability of the Zhenxi Army splitting up was extremely small.

Ouyang Shucai is not a loyal minister, so why would he be willing to divide his troops?

The Zhenxi Army is his foundation and his support.

Now it seems that something must have happened in the Zhenxi Army.

But none of this matters. What matters is that the division of the Zhenxi Army has made it difficult for Linghe Camp and Gubei City to protect themselves.

Originally, the Zhenxi Army did not divide its forces. Whether heading to Linghe Camp or Gubei City, one side could delay time for the other side if it held on.

The troops in Gubei City had already fortified their walls and cleared the countryside, engaging in street fighting with the enemy and trapping the Zhenxi Army inside the city.

Everyone knew that the Zhenxi Army could not afford to delay.

But the situation at this time was beyond the previous plan.

"If, if we retreat..." the prefect Li Duanfang whispered beside him, but did not say anything else.

If they retreat without fighting, not to mention the punishment they would receive from the court, the damage to the reputation of the Qin Dynasty would be something they could not bear.

Whether they are civil officials or military generals, if they have no desire to fight, what dignity do they have?

"Brother Zhang, you are in charge of the Gubei City army. You decide how to fight." Black Bear Yuchi Feng turned to look at Zhang Yuan and spoke in a deep voice.

Whether it is Li Duanfang or Xiao Lou, they are only civil servants and have no power to command the army.

The defense authority of Gubei City lies in Zhang Yuan's hands.

As the commander of the Black Ice Platform in Zhengyang County of the Great Qin Dynasty, the son of Qingyang County, and a veteran of killing masters in battle, it was reasonable for Zhang Yuan to be assigned to take charge of the defense.

Among the people present, not even the Black Bear Yuchi Feng had a record like Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan looked at the map in front of him, and an ink painting scroll unfolded in his mind.

The beads of perception shattered one by one, turning into a collision of black and white lines that deduced the battle situation.

defeat.

defeat.

defeat.

The more than 10,000 defenders were powerless against the 70,000-strong army led by Murong Zhao.

That was Murong Zhao. Zhang Yuan would not be so arrogant as to say that he could use only 10,000 troops to resist the 70,000 troops of the Emperor of Dayan.

Murong Zhao is a cautious and decisive person who never hesitates to kill.

From the memories of his soul clone, Zhang Yuan had seen many battles commanded by Murong Zhao. To be honest, Zhang Yuan felt that he was far inferior to Murong Zhao in military combat.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, and neither did anyone else.

Everyone knew that Zhang Yuan was unable to turn the tide in the current situation.

The absolute gap in strength cannot be made up by any planning.

"If something cannot be done, there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices."

In the lobby, the voice of Linglan King Ying Chongxiao was heard.

"I can challenge Murong Zhao. The chances of winning are slim, but there's a chance we can both lose."

Challenge Murong Zhao?
In the lobby, everyone's eyes turned to King Linglan, and then to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan shook his head.
