Wait until early March, the efforts of the four forces in Qi, Lu, Wei and Yue to attack Chu again returned to the intensity of last autumn.

In addition to the "Main battlefield of the three armies of Qi, Lu and Wei", the coalition forces played a sing of triumphant songs, the other two coalition forces on the battlefield also made good progress.

On the Dongyue side, Shaokang, a descendant of the Yue King, led tens of thousands of "Dongou Army" and joined forces to jointly general the "Yushan Army" led by Lu Qiutai to suppress the "Zhaoguan" of Chu, causing the Chu General Xiang Gui, who was in charge of Zhaoguan, to deal with it.

On the fourth day of the third month, Wu Qi, the general of the "Dongou Army" under the command of the Yue Lord Shaokang, captured the "Qi'an (ferry crossing)" in Diyangyi and occupied the Yangtze River port.

On the seventh day of the third month, Wu Qi crossed the river to attack "Diyang County". Xiang sent his cousin Xiang Qian to lead 20,000 troops to support Diyang County. The Chu and Yue armies fought fiercely for a whole day. The Chu army retreated and the Vietnamese army occupied Diyang.

At the same time, another general of the "Dongou Army" "Gu Zhang", led his army to capture the "Yuan Mausoleum".

At this point, the four major cities in Diyangyi, "Yuezhang", "Yuan", "Qiyang", and "Diyang" were all captured, and the hometown of Diyangjun Xiong Shang was confiscated.

After that, because the Yue Lord Shaokang was unable to conquer Zhaoguan, guarded by Xiang Jing, the general of Chu, he decided to change his strategy and attack "Jiujiang County".

After hearing the news that the Yue army invaded Jiujiang County, Pengli's king Xiong Yi was frightened and sent the general "Sun Gu" to lead 40,000 Pengli troops to quickly settle in "Songyang" to resist Wu Qi of the "Dongou Army", and thus the three-day battle of Songyang broke out.

Three days later, Wu Qi, the general of the "Dongou Army", attacked Songyang for a long time, so he took a detour to the north and attacked "Tong County", which took two days to conquer the county.

During this period, Jun Xiongchi of Junyang sent 30,000 Chu troops to rush to "Qianxian" for a long distance.

So, the Yue general Wu Qi took "Zongxian", and then the Huaiyi Battle, which lasted for a full 18 days, broke out.

The Yue army played a sing of triumphant songs, posing as if they were going north to attack King Shuying of Chu. However, at this moment, Xiang of Zhaoguan sent a surprise soldier to cut off Wu Qi's rear food route.

However, this move angered the Yue general Wu Qi, causing Wu Qizhe to attack the "Tuo Gao" behind Zhaoguan.

At this time, Xiang Jing was the leader of Yue Shaokang, and the general of Yue Wu Qi, and from the side there was the "Yushan Army" led by the general of Qi Lu Qiutai, who was surrounded by the enemy on three sides.

However, Xiang Mo's cousin is worthy of being the leader among the Xiang family's children. With one against three, he can still fight to defend Zhaoguan and Wugao. This not only curbed the northern expedition of the "Dongou Army", but also allowed Qi general Luqiu Tai to return without success many times.

From the Qi Yushan Fortress to Zhaoguan, Qi general Lu Qiutai has never made any contributions and has almost become a so-called role.

Besides, the war situation in the West Vietnamese side, the strength of the West Vietnamese rebels is far less than that of the "Dongou Army" led by the Dongyue Lord. When they started their troops last year, they were suppressed by "Shouling Jun Jingshe" and "Xiling Jun Qu Ping".

By the end of last year, Shouling Jun Jingshe drew his troops and went to Juyang County to resist the Wei army. This move finally made the Western Vietnamese rebels breathe.

Unfortunately, although Shouling Jun Jingshe left "Nanyang County", there was still Xiling Jun Qu Ping here.

Qu Ping, the Xiling lord whose fief covers "Nanyang County" and "Jiujiang County", suppressed the rebels of the West in the west and curbed the northern expedition of the "Dongou Army" in the east. With the assistance of "Pengli Jun Xiong Yi" and "Jingyang Jun Xiong Zheng", although he failed to launch a counterattack to regain the lost territory, he steadily defended a large area of ​​territory in "Nanyang County" and "Jiujiang County".

It has to be said that from beginning to end of this battle, the Western Vietnamese rebels not only restrained the contribution of Xiling King Qu Ping, but did almost nothing in the entire battle and completely became a role in making a so-called soybean. Their role was not as good as that of the Yushan Army led by Qi general Lu Qiutai.

On the main battlefield of the Qi, Lu and Wei coalition forces, since Zhao Hongrun led the Wei Shang navy to the suburbs twenty miles northwest of the Chu king's capital Shouying in late two months, the coalition forces and the Chu army stationed at the capital of the Chu king started a melee of the suburbs for more than ten days.

The scale of the melee is as small as scouts with dozens of people and as large as nearly 10,000 troops.

But in general, the coalition forces remained relatively restrained because they were stepping up the construction of siege equipment.

During this period, as the Yanling army and the Shang navy retreated from Ji County one after another, the Wei general Xu Yin had to lead the Fenxing army to retreat to Ji County.

Fortunately, before Zhao Hongrun led his army to leave, he had sent a group of green crows to the "Cambodia North" and "Yuma Cavalry", and ordered Boxile and Youma to cut off the grain route for Juyang County to transport grain to Fang Zhong, so that the hundreds of thousands of troops under Fang Zhong, the general of Chu, Xiang Mo, were always hungry. Otherwise, if Xiang Mo got enough food, the county would be conquered by him within a few days.

On the side of "Caixi County", the fierce battle between the Yanling army and the 80,000 Chu army became more and more intense. During this period, Caixi County was even attacked from "Haoshang" County. However, Yan Mo, deputy general of the Yanling army, steadily defended the city, causing the two Chu troops to return in vain.

However, the most glorious one is Qu Jun, the chief general of Yanling Army. This illegitimate son born to the side branch of the Qu clan of the Mi surname of Chu, who was extremely ambitious in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, not only successfully ambushed "Shouling Jun Jingshe", but after that, he repelled several attempts to join the other two local Chu troops to retake the Jingshe in Caixi County. He actually competed with Jingshe, a famous general who was one of the three pillars of Chu.

Believe in this incident, I am afraid that this battle has shocked the Chu people the most and attracted the attention of the Chu people so far.

After all, Qu Jun is a child of the Qu clan no matter what he said, and no one can be sure whether his rise will make the Qu clan of Chu State have a different mind.

You should know that so far, the Xiong family, Jing family, Xiang family and Ji Lian family of the Chu State have all contributed their strength. They either took the initiative to send troops to block the enemy troops that were invading the country, or sent troops to support the king's capital Shouying. Only Qu family, the only one who was the Xiling king Qu Ping, led his troops to the expedition, and the rest of the Qu family's children have not yet moved.

However, it is no wonder. After all, among the several clans of the Mi surname, the Qu clan is the most ruthless group of the Xiong clan. Their hatred for the Xiong clan has probably reached a point of perseverance. Therefore, except for the Qu clan, who is famous for his loyalty, integrity, and virtuousness, who is willing to contribute to the country, few of the other Qu clans are willing to travel to this muddy water.

After all, the state of Chu is now the dominant situation of the Xiong clan: the state of Chu is the Xiong clan, and the Xiong clan is the Chu state.

By mid-March, the siege weapons of the Qi, Lu and Wei coalition forces of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei had already built the same land. The strength of the Chu soldiers outside the city of Shouying, the capital of Chu, has gradually been understood with the recent melee, so that on March 19, King Lu Xi of Qi finally sent an order to Zhao Hongrun and Tian Dan to tell the two that they would attack tomorrow!

『It's finally here, the last battle...』

On March 20, when Zhao Hongrun led tens of thousands of Shang navy troops to Shouying, the capital of Chu, and arranged troops on the outskirts of the city, he was really excited.

After all, this national battle lasted for several months, and it was the outcome of the last battle.

If the coalition forces defeated King Shouying of Chu, the vitality of Chu would be greatly damaged. As long as King Lu Xi of Qi could still persist, Chu might be in danger of destruction; if the coalition forces were defeated, all the previous hard work would be in vain, and Zhao Hongrun could only flee back to Xiangcheng in shame with the remaining defeated generals. In this battle, apart from sweeping away some civilians from Chu, it would be difficult to get any benefits from Chu.

On that day, the weather was clear, and the sun hanging in the sky had already become warm and warm.

At this moment, looking into the distance, there was no longer a white snow field, because the ice and snow had melted, leaving only some ice and snow residues.

However, because of this, the land in the suburbs generally seems muddy and slippery. So, the horse's hooves under Zhao Hongrun's crotch have slipped many times. Fortunately, his riding skills have improved greatly. Otherwise, if he fell off the horse in full view of everyone, it would be a shameful thing.

Compared to Zhao Hongrun, Mi Jiang's riding skills were much more difficult. Seeing her frowning and concentrating on controlling the war horse under her crotch, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but want to laugh.

"It's so hard...why, why don't you come to me?"

A few times later, Zhao Hongrun pointed to his face and said as if teasing.

Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun, her pretty face turned slightly red. I don’t know if it was angry or because of Zhao Hongrun’s teasing.

However, what she said was full of ridicule.

"Before the war, I was still in the mood to tease me. It seems that you are sure to win."

"Is it a sure win..."

Zhao Hongrun chuckled when he heard this, then turned his head involuntarily and looked into the distance. He saw that in the direction of King Shouying, the city was in the suburbs of the city, which was like a "black tide" that was connected to the sky and the earth - countless Chu soldiers were surging, as if they were gathering into a vast ocean.

"If the Shang Shui Army rushed in, it might not even have a bubble that would be swallowed."

Zhao Hongrun took a light breath and dispelled the tension in his heart.

It’s no wonder that he was nervous, because the number of Chu soldiers deployed here in the western suburbs of Shouying where he was responsible for attacking was so much that he felt troubled about his scalp.

It made him realize more and more deeply that even if he had the advantage of having a large population, Chu was not something that he could compete with today's Wei State on his own.

"Your Highness."

Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shang Shui Army, rode a horse to Zhao Hongrun, looked at the "black tide" in the distance, licked his lips and said, "It will be a...a fierce battle."

『…』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wu Ji because he felt that the general who was promoted by him could not help but feel a little nervous or even timid at this moment.

Not to mention the meaningless sentence in Wu Ji's sentence just now, it would be very problematic to just say that the young general came to him at this moment instead of preparing for the arrangement of troops.

You should know that if Zhao Hongrun is the "main commander", then Wu Ji is the "main commander" at the secondary level. How could the main and secondary commanders stay together in a war with a wide span of War I? In this way, there is still a need to set up a deputy commander?

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't say much. After all, don't say that Wu Ji would be nervous. Even if it were him, wouldn't he be confused and uneasy at this moment?

However, as the commander of the Wei army, Zhao Hongrun must not show it.

After thinking about it, he did not take over Wu Ji's words, but said in a deep voice: "We will win this battle!"

"..." Wu Ji looked at Zhao Hongrun in shock when he heard this, and for some reason he showed a look of relief and nodded and said, "What Your Highness said is extremely true, we will win!"

After saying that, he hugged Zhao Hongrun and left.

Not long after, there were murmurings one after another in the Shang Shui Army behind Zhao Hongrun.

"It will win!"

"It will win!"
Chapter completed!
