Liu Che was busy with farming and climbing technology.

The Thorn Wall City on the front line is already crumbling.

It has been nearly eight days since the Wu-Chu coalition army stormed the Thorn Wall.

In these eight days, the thorn wall turned into a meat grinder, and tens of thousands of people died here.

At this time, the towers of the thorn wall were already full of holes, and almost all the brick houses in the whole city were demolished and used for armor defense.

The moat in front of the Thorn Wall City has long since ceased to function - dead bodies and various broken siege equipment have blocked the moat.

When the battle came to this point, whether it was the Wu-Chu coalition army or the Liang army, they were all a little haggard.

At this time, various undercurrents are surging.

In the camp of the Wu-Chu coalition army, several generals of the Chu State quietly gathered together to discuss.

"I heard that the king is not dead, he is still ...... in Chang'an" A captain whispered: "King Wu has driven me and other children of Chu to die under the Thorn Wall City these days, with the intention of consuming the strength of my Chu State......"

These days, not fools, they all see that something is wrong.

The main force of the siege, except for the people who were coerced for the first three days, the rest were all Chu troops as the main force.

And the Wu army of the king of Wu is as an overseer, lined up in the rear, and it is called helping the war, but in fact, everyone knows that the king of Wu is consuming the strength of the Chu army, especially those who are loyal to the king of Chu.

Originally, the Wu-Chu coalition army was like a bamboo, although it could not be evenly distributed, but the Chu army also gained a lot of benefits.

But at this time, with the bloody battle under the Thorn Wall City, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties.

At least more than 10,000 Pengcheng children will never be able to return to their hometowns. This was a great touch to the local Chu army in Hongxiang.

And most importantly, in war. Those who died were all loyal to the army of the King of Chu, and those who defected to the King of Wu early and expressed their loyalty did not lose much.

This makes people have to suspect that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is borrowing the thorn wall to consume the Chu army.

If you can endure it like this, then you are not human!

What's more, these Chu army generals are in the colonel. There are still many nails hidden in Chang'an, and at this time, I don't know how to stir people's hearts. Distraction, that would be stupid!

"I have a handwritten letter from Hugh here......" Seeing that the generals were a little moved, the captain took out a silk book and whispered: "Hugh said it in the letter." The king was indeed assassinated. But the assassin was sent by the king of Wu, and now, the king is still in Chang'an! ”

The silk letter was passed around and read.

In fact, the rumors that the king of Chu is not dead, these generals have long heard about it.

Although King Wu tried his best to block the news, how could this kind of thing be blocked lightly?

So, everybody has heard of it. It's just that it hasn't been confirmed.

At this moment, I listened to the words of the captain. Thinking of the experience of being driven to death in the past few days, the 'loyal thoughts' that had long since disappeared in the hearts of many people are ready to stir again.

It's just that......

A lieutenant said: "I have also heard of it, but we are all rebels now, even if we are loyal to the king of Chu, what can we do?" ”

At this time, the original lieutenant immediately lowered his voice and said: "Gentlemen, you may still know something, Taiwei Zhou Gong has already arrived in Suiyang, with the edict of the Son of Heaven and the king's handwriting, as long as we can set things right, I will not blame the past!" ”

"Really?" Many people's hearts suddenly began to heat up.

Originally, when the wind was favorable, he followed King Wu to grab money and grain, spent all day and wine, and naturally had no sense of identity with Chang'an, even the King of Chu was just like that.

But at this moment, with the arrival of the imperial army, the thorn wall was like a meat grinder, stirring up countless lives.

In the Chu army, many people began to be disoptimistic about King Wu.

I can't even take a thorn wall for eight days, so what about Suiyang? What about Ruyang? What about Chang'an?

Once the army of King Qin of the world arrives, what can be accomplished by relying on the hundreds of thousands of Wu troops alone?

Back then, Han Xin's soldiers were like gods, and he was not killed by the Son of Heaven when he said he would kill him, Yingbu was wise and martial, and he didn't die in the hands of the Dongou people.

This King Wu is estimated to be hanging!

Thinking like this, for a while, the entire Chu military camp was full of people's hearts.

The officers at the top wanted to set things right, and the non-commissioned officers below also began to miss their hometown.

For the Chu people, it is really uncomfortable to follow King Wu and bear the name of such a thief.

It's better to go back to Pengcheng's hometown.

Didn't you say that the king didn't have a?

We're going to make a hair!

……………………………………

On the other side of Suiyang, the situation is different.

The Battle of Thorn Wall, like a meat grinder, stirred up the entire army of the Liang State.

Tens of thousands of troops who have been painstakingly accumulated, in the meat grinder of the Thorn Wall, only see it in, but not out.

Countless government treasury savings have flowed out like water.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, has no heart to recite poetry these days.

I spent all day looking at the map, studying and studying.

At the same time, inadvertently, an idea lingered in his heart like a devil.

"The widow is just the king of Liang, what does this Chang'an gain or loss have to do with the widow? Why don't you let Wu Chu's army go over? Although Liu Wu knows very well that his King of Liang and Chang'an can be said to be both prosperous and lossy, if the Son of Heaven of Chang'an is not his imperial brother, he, the King of Liang, will not be able to stand, and may even be killed.

Just like Zhu Lu back then.

There are not no good people in the Lu family.

However, once the building is about to fall, no matter what you have done before, all of them will be killed.

Even the young emperor brothers, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the babies of the Lu family who were swaddling were not left.

Besides, things have come to this point, and it is really useless to think about these things again.

Looking at the map, Liu Wu sighed: "The thorn wall can't be defended, it's time for Zhang Yu to break through!" ”

"Yafu ...... this week" Liu Wu shook his head: "The widow must go to the imperial brother to sue you!" ”

In Liu Wu's opinion, if Zhou Yafu had moved south at this time, the thorny wall might not have fallen into the current situation.

It's a pity that after Zhou Yafu's army arrived in Suiyang. actually came to meet him, the king of Liang, and then shrank in Changyi and did not move.

In the past few days, the report that Liu Wu got was actually the army of the imperial court. Zhou Yafu's 100,000 troops who came to the rescue of Liang State dug a trench in Changyi, making a look of a strong wall and a clear field.

Moreover, Zhou Yafu also sent an envoy to inform him: "The king sits in Suiyang, guards Changyi, and does not make Wu rebel against a single soldier." Get rid of Liang Country! ”

What is that?

"Is it a widow sitting in the world, or is the royal brother sitting in the world?" The more Liu Wu thought about it, the more angry he became.

But there is nothing to be done.

This week, Yafu is notoriously fierce. Back then, the emperor couldn't do anything about him!

On the same day, under the response of Han Anguo, the Thorny Wall Liang Army broke through at night.

The battle of the Thorn Wall came to an end.

The Wu and Chu army suffered forty or fifty thousand casualties under the city of Thornwall, and the Liang army in order to support Thornwall. Plus defend the city and break through. The losses before and after are about the same.

As soon as the wall was struck, the only obstacle in front of Liu Bi to march into Chang'an was Suiyang.

Liu Bi was very proud of this, and said to his subordinate generals with great ambition: "I will wait for Suiyang to go down again, and I can directly take Chang'an, and destroy this dynasty food!" ”

Countless people have chimed in and patted the horse.

Because of the capture of the thorn wall, the main force of the Wu army, the loss was not much. The dead were all Chu people, and the elite of the Wu army had almost no losses.

In such a situation. Who isn't happy?

Everyone began to look forward to marching into Chang'an, King Wu sat in the world, and everyone's dream of being a marquis.

But Hengba is worried.

He felt extremely uneasy in his heart, because all the reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived in the Changyi area three days ago.

What are they doing?

Nobody knows.

What are they preparing?

Again, no one knows.

The unknown is the scariest thing!

Zhou Yafu is a famous general in the world, and he can be appointed as a lieutenant by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, which shows that he is extraordinary.

In front of such a famous general, Hengba believes that no matter how cautious he is, he can't be too cautious.

………………………………

Changyi, Zhou Yafu's Chinese army camp.

By the time the news of the fall of the Thorn Wall came, it was midnight.

Zhou Yafu immediately got up, beat the drum to raise the tent, and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"Gentlemen, the Thorn Wall has fallen into the hands of Wu Cheng this evening, and Wu Cheng has opened up the route to Suiyang!" As soon as the generals arrived, Zhou Yafu made an opening remarks and introduced.

As soon as these words came out, the whole camp rejoiced.

Of course, it was not for the fall of the Thorn Wall and the victory of the Wu army.

Rather, they cheered for King Wu to embark on the road of no return.

Three days ago, after the army arrived in Liang State, Zhou Yafu took the generals to survey Liang State and asked many local people. Then he sent someone to follow Han Anguo and went to observe some things before.

In the end, Zhou Yafu came to a conclusion.

For the time being, the morale of the Wu army is very high, and the combat ability is also good, and if you want to win in the field battle, there is still some strength for the current Han army.

But after observing the subordinates of the Wu army, many generals discovered that the Wu army had a fatal loophole.

His supply lines are too long!

Now, under the Thorn Wall, the problem is not too big, and the Wu and Chu army can rely on the supplies obtained from the recently captured city to sustain the war.

However, fighting a war is very costly.

That little supply didn't last long.

Therefore, the Wu Chu army must definitely rely on supplies from Guangling and Pengcheng.

And to transport military rations from Guangling and Pengcheng to the front line, there is one place that is the key.

That's Huaisi!

This is the fatal thing about King Wu!

As long as the Wu army continued to advance and attack Suiyang, it gave the Han army a favorable condition for a surprise attack on Huaisi.

Just as Zhou Yafu's father, Deng Duwei, a close confidant of Zhou Bo back then, said to Zhou Yafu: Wu soldiers are very sharp, it is difficult to compete, and Chu soldiers are light and chaotic, and they cannot last long. Fang is the general's plan, Mo Ruo leads the troops to the northeast wall of Changyi, with Liang Wu, Wu will do his best to make a contribution, the general deep ditch barrier, so that the light soldiers will not Huai Sikou, plug Wu grain and pay the road, Wu Liang is covered and the grain is exhausted, it is to force it to strike, break Wu will be carried out!

To put it simply, this strategy is to send Liang to Wu to fight, and when the Wu army is tired, it suddenly cuts off its grain channel, people are iron, rice is steel, and if there is no food, the Wu army will be abolished immediately.

Then, as long as the wall is cleared, the Wu army will not be given a chance to break the cauldron and sink the boat.

Then, it is difficult for Wu Jun to be undefeated!

This plan was reported to Chang'an by Zhou Yafu two days ago and was approved.

At this moment, the fall of the wall of thorns represents the beginning of this plan.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the Wu-Chu coalition army crossed the thorn wall, it was also the beginning of their downfall! (To be continued......)
