The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Although Jiang Zheng controlled Liaoxia, Liaoxia had too few soldiers and a small territory. Even if he seized the Liaoxi area, he would not be able to digest it in a short time.

Otherwise, if it continues to extend forward, the troops in the rear will not be enough. Jiang Zheng seized the territory of western Liaoning not only for the territory, but also for the products therein.

It was for this reason that he slowed down the army's advance. If it weren't for this, Liaoxi would have been completely lost long ago.

Although other products in the entire western Liaoning region cannot be said to be very abundant, mineral resources are definitely extremely rich.

Ever since Jiang Fan opened coal, sulfur and saltpeter mines, Jiang Zheng, who knew that these minerals were useful, had long set his sights on the Liaoxi area of ​​the Daxi Dynasty.

He knew that these mineral veins could produce a lot of gunpowder, and the coal in the mines was a good thing. After he took over the Liaoxi area, he began to mine frantically.

And those miners were all people from the Daxi Dynasty. After being captured, they were forced into the mines to mine. Not only did they not get paid, they also had very little to eat every day.

Many people in the mines complained, and Jiang Zheng was afraid of unrest, so he had to allocate some troops to guard the mines in various places. Otherwise, the progress would not be so slow now.

When the Chu brothers led their troops over, Jiang Zheng's side had probably almost digested the territory they had seized, so they mobilized another 100,000 troops to continue marching towards Daxi.

Although the other side only had an army of 100,000, Yue Fengting was still afraid of them.

Even if the Chu brothers brought an army of 220,000, plus the 20,000 troops he already had, he didn't think they could win the battle.

The Chu brothers just smiled faintly when they heard this. Chu Chengxiong said, "General Yue, don't worry! They are no match for us."

His words made Yue Fengting speechless and he could only sigh. He had already explained the situation, but the two brothers still refused to listen and there was nothing he could do.

He just felt it was a pity to bring 220,000 troops with him. He was afraid that these 220,000 troops would either be killed or end up becoming miners in the mines.

"General Yue, why don't you first introduce to us the current situation in western Liaoning!" Seeing that the other party seemed to be unconvinced, Chu Chengrui did not explain.

He knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless, so he might as well prove it with actions.

Upon hearing this, Yue Fengting nodded and began to introduce the situation in western Liaoning.

The remaining four cities had probably been captured by the Liaoxia Army at this time, and the Liaoxia Army was rushing towards the last Liaoyuan City and the two surrounding cities.

Yue Fengting meant that it was best to avoid the attack for the time being, and never engage in a head-on confrontation with the Liaoxia army before coming up with a good countermeasure. Otherwise, their army of 240,000 would eventually be defeated by the other side in one fell swoop.

At that time, not only Liaoxi would be taken over by others, but even the entire Dashi Dynasty would be in danger.

After listening to Yue Fengting's introduction, the Chu brothers looked at each other. Chu Chengxiong said, "Sixth brother, why don't we just lead the army over there! Dig a hole for them!"

As soon as he said this, Yue Fengting was almost dumbfounded. He felt that after saying so much, the two brothers should know their limits and not act recklessly.

But after I explained the situation, the two brothers were not afraid at all and directly said they would push forward and even slap the other person in the pocket? !

Is he serious? Even though their strength is more than twice that of the Liaoxia Army.

But the problem is, when facing the Liaoxia Army, having more people is useless, right?!

Once the opponent's terrifying killing weapon is used, no matter how many encirclements there are, they will not be able to trap the enemy, and the entire army will be directly defeated.

He opened his mouth to dissuade them, but heard Chu Chengrui say: "Then take 100,000 people with you. 100,000 people will block their main force, and the rest will attack their retreat. Don't let them get away!"

Yue Fengting stared at the two brothers in shock, and for a moment he couldn't believe what he heard. Not only did the two brothers want to stop the enemy, but they only sent 100,000 people.

More than 200,000 people are useless, and aren't 100,000 people just delivering food to others? And let the rest of them steal their backs?

They don't need a way out. The rest of the people who go there are just sending food.

He opened his mouth to persuade them, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the two brothers started arguing. They argued about who would go to confront the Liaoxia army head-on.

No one wants to take the initiative to attack the enemy from behind. Their reason is that there is no danger in taking the initiative and they may not attack many enemies.

Watching the two brothers quarreling, Yue Fengting felt as if he was seeing two fools, two guys who didn't know their place. Did they really think that the Liaoxia Army was so easy to defeat?

When he heard that the two brothers were arguing to the point where they had to use rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go head-on into the fight against the Liaoxia army, he felt like his worldview had collapsed!

He simply stopped trying to persuade them. It was useless to persuade them anyway, as the two brothers were acting like this. He could only sigh. He hoped that the two brothers would not regret their defeat.

The two brothers had no idea what Yue Fengting was thinking. After confirming that Chu Chengrui would confront the Liaoxia army head-on and Chu Chengxiong would attack from the rear, Chu Chengxiong left Liaoyuan City somewhat unwillingly.

After he left the city, he led 120,000 people and left. Chu Chengrui gave Yue Fengting a few instructions and also led his troops out of Liaoyuan City and headed straight ahead.

Watching the army leaving the city, Yue Fengting, who came to the city wall, could only sigh. He hoped that the two brothers would not suffer heavy losses when they escaped back. In the end, they might still have a chance.

On the other side, Chu Chengxiong led his army to take a detour to attack the Liaoxia army's retreat, while Chu Chengrui led his army towards where the Liaoxia army was coming.

According to the latest intelligence, the Liaoxia army is approaching Liaoyuan City and is already within a hundred miles. I'm afraid they will reach Liaoyuan City tomorrow.

Chu Chengrui led a 100,000-man army to set up an ambush fifty miles from Liaoyuan City. Not long after Chu Chengrui left, Yue Fengting also received news from the front.

After hearing the news, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to send 5,000 troops from the city to support Chu Chengrui.

No matter what, he still didn't want Chu Chengrui's army to be wiped out. If possible, he hoped to save Chu Chengrui and his army.

At the same time, a hundred miles away from Liaoyuan City, a hundred thousand troops of the Liaoxia Army had arrived here. They were stationed here, preparing to set out early the next morning and head straight for Liaoyuan City.

The leader of the Liaoxia Army is Jiang Zheng's confidant, named Jiang Lige, an orphan adopted by Jiang Zheng's grandfather for Jiang Fan. He is absolutely loyal to Jiang Zheng.

At this moment, he looked ahead with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. There were only three cities left in western Liaoning. As long as these three cities were captured, the entire western Liaoning would belong to the Liaoxia Kingdom.

They can rely on Liaoxi to launch an attack on the hinterland of Daxi. He was somewhat complacent at this time. The consecutive victories had made him feel invincible.
