Xiang Taiyin was close to him and happened to hear this whisper. He couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing the fire outside the city, it would be fine if so many people died, but in the end the enemy was burning the corpse. It was so sad that he was extremely sad.

Xiang Taiqiang cheered up and said, "Although our army suffered huge casualties in this battle, it was not completely defeated. There were still 300,000 cavalrymen in the reorganization..."

He couldn't continue to say anything as he said that.

The number of cavalry of 300,000 is quite large, but it is not enough to see in front of the enemy. Now the gap in military strength has reversed.

"There is another way at present. The main force of the enemy is here, and it is the first battlefield, and there is a second battlefield in Yan State..."

He couldn't continue to say anything.

When attacking, three routes were chosen. One was the main battlefield of Zhao State's eastward province, the second was the Yan State, and the third was the Qi State's navy attacked from Nanshawan.

The third front had already died, Qi was defeated and the country was in turmoil.

Later, he placed his hopes on Yan State.

If it succeeds, it can use Yan as a springboard to attack Zhao, making it difficult for him to take care of himself.

But the war here was not going well.

At first, under the design of Emperor Yan Murong Zhao, the losses were huge. Wang Kang also sent 300,000 troops there, the two sides gathered and gained a foothold, and was in a stalemate. The State of Chu wanted to hold back the troops there, and Wang Kang wanted to hold back the State of Chu and share the pressure on the main battlefield.

So there is no movement there.

In other words, they can only rely on themselves!

As for foreign aid, don't think about it for the time being.

A million troops have just arrived, so how many reinforcements are there?

Xiang Tai thought, becoming more and more anxious.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, we have a complete regiment!"

Xiang Tai said, "There is also King Duan Xiang Zhi, who has more than 200,000 troops..."

Before the war started, they were suspicious of King Duan and had a very unhappy quarrel. Xiang Zhi was furious and did not wait for reinforcements to arrive. After the talks, he left Changning and returned to Beiwang City, saying that he wanted to return to the Feng Kingdom directly, and he should not have gone back now.

But I didn't expect that because of such contradictions, they were saved by the new force.

Xiang Zhi did not participate in the war, and his army was still intact.

At that time, because of the arrival of millions of reinforcements, they didn't look down on Xiang Zhi, and they thought they didn't need it anymore. At this moment, they had to need others. It was a slap in the face...

What tone should I use?

Xiang Tai thought that King Duan should take into account the overall situation!

"I will personally write a letter to King Duan, asking him to lead his troops to support him. When he arrives, we will break through and the two sides will meet!"

At this time, Dugu Xin spoke in a deep voice.

His voice was still hoarse, but his mood had returned to normal.

Four days have exceeded his life, which has already accepted this reality.

"Breakthrough?"

Xiang Tai frowned.

Breakthrough means giving up Changning City. In other words, it means giving up Heng Kingdom. As King Heng, he naturally cannot accept it...

Dugu Xin said, "We have experienced great defeat and have poor morale. We no longer have the ability to fight head-on with the enemy..."

"Then you can stick to Changning!"

Xiang Tai said, "Changning is a member of the western part of our Great Chu. Once it is broken, the enemy can march straight into the country until Pingguo and Jin. This hole cannot be opened!"

He strongly opposed it, neither from Hengguo himself nor from the overall situation, he could not retreat!

He is ready to persevere, fight a protracted war with the enemy and gain a stable situation!

"What you said is true, but have you ever thought about it? If we lose this time, the surrounding areas will be empty, and Changning will become an isolated city. I'm afraid there will be no way out at that time."

Dugu Xin said in a low voice: "How long do you think Changning City can be maintained?"

"The enemy's trump cards are all out. They are known to have a weapon that can launch air strikes. Do you think the Changning City Wall can block it?"

This question.

Xiang Tai was stunned.

If the enemy really launches air strikes and launches a large-scale bombing of Changning City, how can we hold on? I'm afraid Changning will defeat itself without attacking it!

"In addition, I have read the detailed battle report of Gaoyi City. The enemy broke the city in one day, and they used a weapon of artillery!"

Dugu Xin said in a deep voice: "The sound of the cave cracked stone city has shook for dozens of miles, but in this war, this weapon was not seen..."

Xiang Tai was stunned again.

He has been paying attention to information in this area. How could he not know that such a powerful weapon of siege is just because of the great defeat and forget it for a moment!

From this point of view, Changning City seems to be really difficult to defend...

"If you stop, you will suffer from chaos!"

Dugu Xin said in a low voice: "At this time, I can only endure the pain, give up Changning, and give up Hengguo..."

"Shangzhuguo?"

Xiang Tai looked ugly, and this choice was too difficult for him.

Hengguo is his vassal state, how can he give up?

"It's meaningless to stick to it. Our retreat is temporary. We need time to recover and regain our momentum!"

"What after that?"

Xiang Tai asked back: "What can I do if I retreat? Can the court still allocate reinforcements?"

"It shouldn't be possible."

“That’s it.”

Xiang Tai said in a low voice: "Without soldiers, how can we win?"

"There are soldiers."

Dugu Xin said, "We still have scattered soldiers!"

"No!"

Xiang Tai was the prince, and he knew very well.

"During the Battle of Qi and Chu, we faced the encirclement and suppression of the six countries. At that time, a large number of scattered soldiers were used. The war lasted for a long time, and the people were displaced and had deep resentment. Do you know that the enemy captured Gaoyi, belittled our country and won the hearts of the people!"

Xiang Tai said, "Not many people are willing to join the army anymore. If they force recruitment, there may be big problems!"

"Is there any other way?"

Dugu Xin asked remarks.

Xiang Tai was speechless, and his mood was extremely upset at this moment...

After a while, he asked again: "This kind of thing is absolutely uncontrollable. How should I report it to the court?"

"I'll report it."

Dugu Xin said, "The conscription order should also be presided over by the court, but..."

"Just what?"

Dugu Xin didn't say anything, and he remembered the incident in the court.

Before leaving, His Majesty gave him a message, and when he wins his victory and returns to the court, the matter of establishing the queen will be held.

He advised every word about this matter, but it was fruitless.

The Supreme Emperor entered the court and cholera. His Majesty was confused by the witch and did not want to make progress all day long, and began to become decadent...

Now, we are facing a big defeat again!

It's really a turbulent time!

"Shangzhuguo?"

"oh."

Dugu Xin came back to his senses and said, "It's settled. I'll write a letter to King Duan immediately and ask him to rescue him. He will still listen to my words. We are ready. When his reinforcements come, the two sides will meet and start breaking through..."

"We didn't have much time before the enemy won a great victory. The morale was in full swing. We could not give him any more chances, and we could not afford to lose..."

Xiang Tai didn't say anything, and his thoughts were very confused now.

It was really a difficult decision to ask him to give up Changning and Hengguo. What should these people in the city do?
