Chapter 488
Jiang Xinyan looked at this ant-like sea of people, not to mention marching to fight, just imagine the food and grass for this marching army.
Even if more than 500,000 people eat food and grass for a day, the food and grass will take nearly 1% of the rations of the people of Western Chu. Needless to say, transportation is definitely a big deal.
As the saying goes, when the three armies are still in motion, food and forage go first. At most, ox carts and horses are used to transport food and grass, and hundreds of thousands of people are transported in rations. Only the carriages and ox carts can be used.
Zhao Chengan said yesterday that it seems true that Xichu is relatively wealthy. They have two sides for nearly one, and how much manpower does it take to transport food and grass every day.
In fact, Western Chu is not as rich as everyone thinks, and the military rations of the Western Chu army are about to be eaten up. Lets attack.
Retreat, the Zhenxi Army will chase after them and fight. It is really a dilemma, so the General of Western Chu will fight with the General of Zhenxi for three days before a showdown.
Western Chu's detectives and soldiers have come to the investigation. Since this month, the Dongchen court has not escorted grain and grass to Yumen Pass.
The soldiers of Xichu could hardly bear the food they delivered every day, and the generals of Xichu didn't care about any agreement or not.
took all the horses and attacked the city as soon as they came up without a word. It was not like in the TV series, scolding the formation or something, and did not say that the generals were to fight the generals one-on-one.
Under the command of the Western Chu General, a fierce siege battle was launched as soon as he came up. On the wall of Yumen Pass, Zhao Chengan personally commanded the Zhenxi Army.
The soldiers of the Zhenxi Army on the city wall shot arrows and fired various weapons to hit the Western Chu Army hard.
When the battle was fierce, arrows and cannons on the city were fired like a spot, and not long after, many people on both sides were killed and wounded.
Under the city, General Xi Chuha personally oversaw the battle and attempted to dig the city gate. Jiang Xinyan was dazzled.
In fact, the two armies fought against each other, not as simple as fighting in groups, but about arranging troops.
Who goes first, who goes last, and how they play is regular, but Jiang Xinyan, a layman, can't tell.
What she saw was that as soon as the Western Chu army came up, they attacked the city and attacked the city.
Chu Lixuan and her stood next to the podium of the tower, watching the battle in a safe place. He patiently answered his daughter-in-law's questions while watching the battle.
"Husband, didn't you say you want the general to negotiate with the general?" Jiang Xinyan felt that this was completely different from what she imagined.
Chu Lixuan patiently told her again that the battle between the two armies is the custom of having the leader of the army stand out and talk with the leader of the other side.
It is only because the generals are nobles that the two armies talk to each other when they are fighting. In fact, it is simply asking why you are fighting against us.
If they can persuade peace, the two sides will stop, and they can't persuade them to start fighting again. This Western Chu's General Ha and Zhao Chengan have already fought several times.
They also persuaded each other to stop a few times, and they played against each other alone. The two were of equal strength, so they started fighting again without being reconciled to retreat.
This time, it was considered a sneak attack led by General Ha, so he would fight as soon as he came up, and when Xichu could not win, he would have to fight Zhao Chengan alone.
"Why did Xi Chu go to fight with General Zhao if he couldn't win?" Jiang Xinyan asked when she didn't understand, which was much more enjoyable than watching it on TV.
"Because the Western Chu army has more troops than the Zhenxi Army this time, and they also have a certain amount of troops stationed on the border, but the Western Chu court sent another 500,000 troops to help."
Chu Lixuan didn't say anything, Jiang Xinyan also understood that due to the war in the south, Dongchen Kingdom couldn't keep up with the supplies and reinforcements.
Chu Lixuan answered patiently, and he was very fortunate that they arrived at the Zhenxi Barracks in time, judging from the ferocity of Western Chu's attack.
Xi Chu has no back-up move, either he has newly cultivated fierce generals, or he has added reinforcements, no matter which way you look at it.
Zhao Chengan couldn't bear it this time, but he wouldn't be afraid with their husband and wife around. Soon, Chu Lixuan could see the clue.
The Western Chu army actually used the one-character long snake formation that Nanman had used. This formation is the one-character long snake formation that wiped out many children of the Chu family.
Therefore, Chu Lixuan is very familiar with the long snake formation. Could it be that Xichu colluded with Nanman?
Chu Lixuan was very sensitive in military affairs, he only defeated the Nanman when he broke the Nanman formation.
Seeing the ease of use of the Western Chu army, Chu Lixuan's eyes darkened. This one-word long snake formation belonged to Western Chu, and it should have been taught to Nanman by Western Chu back then.
OK! Good you Xi Chu, see how the lord will deal with you, Chu Lixuan Shen invasion is full of hatred in anger.
Jiang Xinyan summed up the general meaning from Chu Lixuan's explanation that the general is responsible for deploying the army to command the battle.
If the general is killed, then this battle will not be fought, and will be in chaos.
There is also a more realistic example. For example, our army has 100,000 people, and the opponent's army has only 30,000.
This is obviously a winning situation, who would be so stupid as to fight against the leaders of the two armies and directly kill the past to win.
One person and one mouthful of spit can clean up the other 30,000 people, which is why the ancient martial arts masters did not dare to oppose the imperial court.
No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he can't stand up to the large number of people in the court. This also makes Jiang Xinyan understand that clearly Chu Lixuan is very strong, why he dare not challenge the king of Zhenbei.
At this time, Jiang Xinyan didn't know that their subordinates were already challenging the King of Zhenbei, and they beat them away.
The battlefield was changing rapidly. Seeing that the Zhenxi Army was about to be defeated, all the soldiers of Western Chu climbed up the city wall.
Chu Lixuan said to Jiang Xinyan, "Xinxin, don't come out while you stand here, go out and clean up Xichu's gang of dogs for your husband."
Jiang Xinyan: "..." This bow and arrow don't have eyes, so I don't go out until I'm full!
What? You go? Why! This dog man is a patriotic young man, Jiang Xinyan thought.
If the dog emperor exiled the old lady, the old lady would never help him fight against foreign enemies, eh! The old lady was really exiled!
Living a comfortable life in the land of exile, Jiang Xinyan forgot that they were still exiles.
There is no home without a country, hey! That's it! Chu Lixuan can help if you want!
Jiang Xinyan is more righteous and won't care too much, after all, the enemy has hit the bottom of her feet!
Chu Lixuan told Zhao Chengan that the one-word long snake formation used by Xichu, they had suffered losses against Nanman before.
Zhao Chengan immediately attached great importance to him, he was able to achieve the position of the general, definitely not relying on the strength of the family.
Although the family will protect him when he needs it, it is impossible for him to be the commander of an army without his own ability.
Zhao Chengan heard that Chu Lixuan was going to fight. He was excited and grateful to dispatch troops. He wanted to stay on the podium as the commander-in-chief.
Otherwise, Zhao Chengan would like to go out of the city to fight alongside Chu Lixuan!
