Age of mythical princes

Chapter 367 World War II in Yingdu
The war has begun, but it is completely different from the decisive battle that many people imagined.

In Luoyang, a steady stream of cannon fodder was sent to the battlefield to consume Emperor Zhou's strength, energy, and patience, and to collect as much intelligence as possible on Emperor Zhou.Many people imagined that the real-person confrontation and the first-generation manifestation of the real body, just like the scene in the myth that came to reality, did not happen.

In Yingdu, Chu Hou and Xiang Ji led 50 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, and Qin State Shang Yang led 20 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, a total of 70, distributed hundreds or thousands of miles outside Yingdu.

On the other side, Wu's 40 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, in the hands of Sun Tzu, resisted the 70-strong army without losing.

However, these are war scenes imagined by the world.

In fact, the scope of this battle is as high as three thousand miles.

With Yingdu as the center, the land with a radius of three thousand miles or even ten thousand miles is a battlefield!

The scene of a large-scale army charge did not appear. At this moment, Gongzi Ji personally led an army of 20 to the Yangtze River, hoping to cut off the Wu army's retreat.

On the other side, a large number of scattered scout teams were fighting over and over again in a radius of thousands of miles.

Today, the Chu army killed Wu Jun's men, completely refining the land with a radius of dozens of miles, and left many backup forces, temporarily giving this land the surname Chu.Tomorrow, Wu Jun's scouts will rush over and take back control of this land.

Today, the Chu army occupied this piece of sky and completely refined the spiritual energy inside. Tomorrow, the Wu army will fight back.

But at this moment, the cultivation levels of these scouts were astonishingly high.

Taoist priests are very common, and there is no shortage of Taoist priests.

Sometimes, when a certain side loses miserably, they directly send real people or the first generation to come over to reduce the dimension and attack.

However, when one side sends real people and the first generation, if the other party learns of the opportunity, they will quickly send real people and the first generation to fight.If you run a little slower, it can easily turn into a real-person or first-generation confrontation, with one blow from both sides destroying dozens or hundreds of miles of land.

This is also a method of war. No matter who it is, no one can tolerate the other party completely controlling this world.

If the location is in the opponent's hands, it will have a huge impact on the final battle.

At this moment, in the capital of Ying, Wu State was also holding a meeting.

In front of everyone is a large projection, and the center of the projection is Yingdu.

The former capital city of Ying was completely demolished and sold for a huge price.The ancestral tombs of the Chu princes of the past dynasties have also been sold, and now they have all been dug up, and the bones inside have been taken away by various gods who did not reveal their true names.

Today, the territory of at least a thousand counties in Chu State has been completely drained.

Looking at the map in front of him, Wu Zixu first began to introduce the current situation: "There is actually no value in letting go of Yingdu."

The grandson nodded slightly.

"In the past, Ying was the capital of the Chu Kingdom and had countless underground dragon veins. Nowadays, these dragon veins have either been dismantled, sold, or sent back to Wu."

"In the past, Yingdu was magnificent and had infinite aura, like a paradise in the cave. But today's Yingdu is just a piece of loess with thin aura."

"Today's Yingdu, the greatest value lies in its political value, it is a symbol."

"As long as Yingdu is still occupied for one day, it means that Da Wu still has the upper hand in the current war."

"As long as Da Wu still has the upper hand, and with true and false news, we can borrow more money from the bond market."

"In the past 20 years, we have completely drained 63 counties. These counties are large and small. After being drained completely, they have brought us a huge amount of wealth. It stands to reason that this is an almost unlimited amount of wealth. The total value of wealth is extremely high."

"However, this battle has been fought for more than 20 years and nearly 30 years."

"Over the years, there have been more than 300 wars involving more than 10 people. There have also been [-] wars involving more than [-] people."

"There were more than 600 real-life and first-generation battles. There were also more than 80 real-life battles."

"Our Da Wu has dispatched earth-level Taoist soldiers more than 30 times and Xuan-level Taoist soldiers more than 400 times."

"According to rough statistics, there are hundreds of thousands of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers who died on the battlefield and behind enemy lines after the war."

"As for the losses of Huang-level Taoist soldiers and ordinary logistics transport soldiers, it is even more devastating."

"In the past 20 years, our Dawu has used this plundered wealth to train 80 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. Including the original ones, there are a total of one million Xuan-level Taoist soldiers."

"However, one hundred thousand were consumed on the battlefield, and now there are only 90 left."

"More importantly, Dawu today only has a total of [-] counties. Although they are all large counties, they are only in preliminary development." "Although the Chu State has drained a thousand counties, but now, There’s not much money left.”

"Moreover, we not only need to consider this war, but also the post-war war and the future, so this money cannot be spent all at once now."

"Next, we can issue a huge amount of money on the bond exchange in the name of a decisive battle. This may be the last time we can easily raise a large amount of money."

Having said this, Wu Zixu looked at the people around him, namely Helu, the Marquis of Wu, Fuchai, the crown prince of Wu State, his old friend, his grandson, and himself.There were only four people in total, so Wu Zixu told a lot of truths that could not be told outside.

"In the past 20 years or so, my biggest feeling is that Chu State is too big!"

"For more than 20 years, we have exhausted all means, and we have only squeezed out a thousand and dozens of counties. Excluding these, there are still more than 4000 counties in Chu State."

"Chu State just carried out Zhou-style reforms and successfully united the domestic nobles, and now has countless sources of soldiers and money."

"In the past 20 years or so, we have killed approximately 30 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers from Chu State."

"But in the blink of an eye, Chu State trained more Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. Especially the Hunan Army and Huai Army trained by Wang Jujun's junior brother Zeng Bohan. These armies have really strong defensive capabilities when defending their homes, and they have suffered repeated defeats. After repeated battles and defeats, Zeng Bohan was defeated by me a total of seven times, and was almost beheaded by me on the spot several times, but he became stronger and stronger."

"To be honest, I didn't take Zeng Bohan seriously at all in the beginning. His military tactics were full of mistakes. The first-generation Hunan and Huai army he trained were also vulnerable. But who would have thought that now, The Hunan Army and the Huai Army have such strong defense when they are defending their homes."

Hearing this, Sun Tzu nodded again: "To put it bluntly, Zeng Bohan's art of war is to build a stronghold and fight stupidly. It relies on the material and manpower of the Chu State, the idea of ​​​​soldiers to guard their hometown, and then uses the relationship between the township party, family ties, etc. , a refined soldier. Although such an elite soldier has no possibility of being promoted to Earth-level Taoist soldiers, among Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, they cannot be underestimated."

"It's not difficult to defeat them, it's not difficult to defeat them, but as long as they can't be completely wiped out at once, they can recover quickly. The recovery ability is too strong. And Chu State has enough population, financial resources, and material resources to let them Recover again and again. Almost every time I recover, my strength will be stronger than the last time."

"Today, the Chu State has 30 Hunan troops and 20 Huai troops. The Marquis of Chu himself has 20 troops, and Xiang Ji has 70 allied troops of nobles. Plus the Qin State's [-] troops, this is an army of nearly [-] troops. "

At this point, Sun Tzu began to analyze the distribution of Chu's troops on the map.

"Now, Gongzi Ji leads an army of 20 people directly towards the Yangtze River. This is to cut off our retreat. Once we succeed, we can only withdraw our troops immediately. Otherwise, when the food consumption ends, the army will be destroyed."

"Now, there are only 20 navy troops on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is too long, and there are many key nodes that need to be defended. Even if we only defend key places, we can only mobilize [-] navy troops for a decisive battle with Xiang Yu." Having said this, Sun Tzu looked at Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu thought for a long time: "One hundred thousand sailors will face 20 Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, and I will face Xiang Ji."

"To be honest, I'm a little unsure about this battle. I may win or lose. I don't have much certainty."

Xiang Ji has already broken through and has become a veritable great master.

"Before Xiang Ji broke through, I couldn't kill him directly. After Xiang Yu broke through, I was no longer his opponent one on one."

"I am not afraid of a 20-strong naval force facing off against a [-]-strong army, relying on the power of the Yangtze River. Defense is still no problem."

"But when the 20-strong army is led by Xiang Ji, I am no longer sure."

Hearing this, the room was silent again.

Over the years, Sun Tzu and Xiang Yu have fought.

When Sun Tzu was not leading troops, he could only formulate formations to challenge Xiang Yu, making him invincible, but he could not retain Xiang Yu.When Sun Tzu was leading the army, whenever Xiang Yu was about to fall into a trap, he could rely on his intuition to escape instantly.Sun Tzu was helpless in the face of this kind of military commander whose intuition was so strong that he was unreasonable.

It's obvious that the secret has been concealed, the bait has been designed, and the other party has been fooled, but before entering the trap, he ran away!
Therefore, Sun Tzu knew Xiang Ji's worth.

As for Fu Chai, he once challenged Xiang Ji without knowing how high and high he was, but he was beaten by Xiang Ji before he could even finish saying his name. If Wu Zixu hadn't arrived in time, Wu might have had to change to a new crown prince. .

Therefore, Fu Chai was also honest at this time.

Also, why are you so bad that you insist on having a duel with Xiang Yu? How unthinkable is this?

As for Helu, he also tried to secretly eliminate Xiang Ji, but failed.

"Then mobilize troops from within the country?" Fu Chai suddenly suggested.

"There are 20 naval troops on the Yangtze River, 40 troops here, and only 30 troops left in the country."

"Once troops are mobilized from the country, how many will be mobilized? One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand?"

"If there are too many adjustments, what will happen if the Yue Kingdom attacks?"

"Today's Yue country is not honest at all."
