Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 414 A strong counterattack, the end of Chu!
On the second day of September, it was sunny.

The day after Qianyuan summoned Shen Shuyu, the envoy of Chu State, Dagan's counterattack began!

On the Lion Country battlefield, the Cangtian Corps stationed in Yedong County and Yenan County, under the command of the regiment commander Di Qing, split into two groups, formed a wedge shape, and attacked Yebei County and Yanxi County respectively.

Di Qing cooperated with Li Jing's regiment to form a pincer attack on the Chu Second Army and must annihilate them all.

At the same time, on the battlefield of Xunyu Country, the Xue Rengui Corps stationed in Yuannan County took the initiative to attack the Third Chu Army Corps stationed in Yuanbei County opposite, posing as if to recover the northern part of Xunyu Country.

Even more ruthless is the Zhantian Corps.

Zhan Tian commanded the Yantian Corps to attack from Kuibei County and directly enter the southern hinterland of the Chu State, intending to cut the Chu State into two and completely cut off the connection between the Chu Third Army and the imperial court.

Under such circumstances, the shortcomings of the long and narrow terrain in the north and south of Chu State are fully exposed. Once it is cut off, the south of Chu State will become an enclave, which can be ravaged by a large army.

In the entire Chu Kingdom, apart from the [-] imperial guards stationed in Yingdu, there are only three regular legions.Among them, the Chu First Army, which was originally stationed near Yingdu, had not had time to withdraw from Zhao State HD.

In other words, as long as Dagan restrains Chu's second and third armies, it will basically paralyze more than [-]% of Chu's combat power.

In the two local battlefields in the east and west, Dagan's army fought two against one. This was the first time Dagan had encountered such an easy battle.

In the face of Dagan's strong counterattack, Chu's second and third legions were completely beaten.

The readiness of the two armies is very different.

Although this battle was provoked by the Chu State, compared with the passive defense strategy that the Chu State has been pursuing, the Dagan military has actually been preparing to attack the Chu State in recent years.

In particular, when the Yaozu allied forces invaded the Zhao country, preparations for the war had already been substantially started.

This is why, in the face of the invasion of Chu's Second Army, Li Jing's Corps can respond in the shortest time and minimize its own casualties.

This is why, after receiving the order from the Ministry of War, Xue Rengui Corps, Zhantian Corps and Di Qing Corps were able to enter combat status within just a few days.

In contrast, the Chu Second Army's participation in the war was completely self-inflicted, without the approval of the court at all, and there was no preparation at all.

The Third Army of Chu was even forced to fight.

What's even more tragic is that due to the tragedies of Rushui City and Fengfeng City, the headquarters of the two major armies were all paralyzed, and the huge amount of food and supplies stored in the two cities were also corroded.

No wonder Jia Xu wants to say that the Yaozu are good people.

The Chu Second Army was fine. After the war broke out, they could still get food supplies from the rear.

The Chu Third Army Corps stationed in Yuanbei County was miserable. The supply line was cut off by the Zhantian Corps, and it suddenly became a lonely army, facing the north-south attack of the two major Corps.

If you don't die, you will die.

…………

On the seventh day of September, Yingdu.

Hurrying quickly, the Chu First Army finally returned to Yingdu from HD, ready to go to the front line at any time.

Now, the difficult problem facing the decision-makers of Chu State is whether to let the First Army rush to rescue the Second Army, or go south to rescue the Third Army.

"Is it possible to divide the army into two groups?"

The outbreak of the war was so sudden that Ouyang Heng still hadn't recovered from it.

"It's definitely not possible to divide the troops into two groups. It will be impossible to save either route." Facts have proved that before the war, Zhao Suzi really did not underestimate the Chu army.

The Chu army really can't beat the big army.

Even if the Chu army had all kinds of disadvantages, it was really unjustifiable that the Chu army was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Daqian's army after the two sides had only exchanged fire for a few days.

Let Ouyang Heng and other high-level Chu officials lose face.

Seeing that the senior brother in charge still had unnecessary expectations, Zhao Suzi sighed in her heart. All along, she had been trying to avoid going to war with Dagan.

But the development of the matter is completely independent of Zhao Suzi's will.

In the end, the situation still turned into the worst possibility, which is exactly what Ouyang Heng has been worried about all along, but unfortunately, his words come true.

"So, what's your opinion?"

Because of Zhao Suzi's "foresight" several times, Ouyang Heng paid more and more attention to Zhao Suzi's opinion.

Zhao Suzi was not polite, and said: "The Third Army has been encircled by Dagan, and it is very difficult to rescue them. If the First Army goes south, I am worried that it will take me in instead."

Ouyang Heng could only respond silently to Zhao Suzi's judgment.

Facts have proved that whether it is individual combat power, weapons and equipment, or overall command, the large army can crush the Chu army.

Ouyang Heng still can't figure out how the Dagan army can continue to strengthen.

"What a bunch of freaks."

"For the current plan, the only way is to abandon the car to protect the commander, abandon the third army and several counties in the south, let the first army join the second army, and guard the central area in the north." Zhao Suzi said.

"Then do it."

At this time, Ouyang Heng had no better way.

After the southern campaign ended, the state of Chu was able to withstand the pressure of Daqian, not because of how powerful the state of Chu was, but because the two countries of Qi and Zhao stood behind the state of Chu.

At present, more than half of the state of Zhao has fallen, and the state of Qi is too busy to take care of itself.

Chu State's weakness was immediately exposed. This is a general trend, and it is really impossible for anyone to reverse it.

As for the use of high-end combat power, don't even think about it. Whether it is the Yin God Venerable or the Jindan Daoist, they are enough to crush Chu.

If Daqian didn't take the lead in dispatching Lord Yin Shen, the Chu State would burn high incense.

During the whole process of discussing the matter, the King of Chu, Xiong Shen, did not say a word, and Ouyang Heng never consulted the King of Chu's opinion at all.

If the King of Chu was not still the King of Chu, he would not even be able to appear in the meeting hall.

From the beginning to the end, the King of Chu, Xiong Shen, was the main fighting faction. When the matter evolved to the current situation, if there was anything behind it, it was the shadow of the King of Chu.

This person is ambitious, but does not have the ability and skills to match his ambition.

Such people are the greatest evil.

The Chu army has been so corrupted, so depraved, and so weak, it is hard to say that there is no responsibility for the Chu king Xiongju.You must know that Wanhuamen's usual intervention in the army is actually very little.

The next day,

The First Army of Chu went south to reinforce the Lion Kingdom battlefield.

…………

The capital of God, the royal palace.

In the imperial study room, Qian Yuan and Pei Ju, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sat facing each other.

Because Li Jing, Di Qing, Xue Rengui, and Zhan Tian, ​​the four corps commanders, all have extremely high tactical literacy, and are fully capable of making decisions on the front line and drawing up specific combat plans.

After the war broke out, the two counselors Guo Jia and Jia Xu had extremely limited room to play.

In contrast, Pei Ju, who was the minister of the Ministry of War, was more involved in the war because he was in charge of troop deployment and logistical support.

like now.

Upon receiving the news that the Chu First Army Corps was going south, Qianyuan smiled, "Very well, the last suspense has been settled, and the order has been issued, and we can move."

"understand!"

Pei Ju also laughed, obviously knowing the meaning of Qian Yuan's words.

Due to the conspiracy of the Yaozu, a battle that was originally expected to be very difficult suddenly became easier, which made Pei Ju, the minister of the Ministry of War, a lot lighter.

This is a surprise.

In terms of strategic response, Chu State has always been a step behind, unable to get rid of the shadow of Daqian, and failure is inevitable.
