Hearing the Deputy Generals praise her and Jing Han, Xiang Yan smiled and said,"The walls of Yanling City are strong. Even if Li Xin is very capable, he won't be able to break the city in a few days.”
"When Young Master sends news from Chen Ying, we will send troops from Xiang City and attack Li Xin's army from behind.”
"At that time, Li Xin will have a strong city in front and our army behind him. He will definitely retreat towards Chen Ying.”
"At that time, Young Master Jing Han will be able to join forces with my troops and form a pincer attack on Li Xin's army!”
"Cai!"
"Cai!"
"General, this is a brilliant plan!"
After hearing Xiang Yan's analysis, the generals cheered.
"Report!"
Just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, a scout ran in from outside the door.
The scout's face was filled with panic, causing Xiang Yan to frown.
Before he could say anything, a deputy general berated him,"How can you be so flustered? Can't you see that the general is discussing matters with us?”
The scout ignored the deputy general's scolding and said directly,"General, bad news!"
Seeing his anxious expression, Xiang Yan also looks at him and hurriedly says: "When exactly did it happen? Tell me slowly!"
"The commanding officer in charge of taking over Chen Ying has sent an urgent military report!”
"Lord Chang Ping did not open the city gates and surrender as the general said.”
As soon as he said this, all the generals of the Chu army, including Xiang Yan, looked surprised.
"How could this be?" Xiang Yan was even more disbelieving." If Lord Chang Ping had not surrendered to Great Chu, Young Master would have sent news. I have not received any news from Young Master, so I sent a hundred thousand troops to Chen Ying.”
"What's the situation with Chen Ying?”
The scout continued," The Commanding Officer followed the general's orders and rushed to Chen Ying with his troops. When he saw that the flag of Chu had been planted on the city wall, he thought that Lord Chang Ping had returned to Chu.”
"Although I didn't see Lord Chang Ping and Young Master, the city gates were wide open, so I didn't think too much about it and directly ordered the vanguard to enter the city.”
"Who knew that the moment the 10,000 troops entered the city, the city gates would close and a large number of Qin soldiers would appear on the city walls!”
"The lieutenant realized that something was wrong and immediately led the army to attack the city.”
"But the Qin army stubbornly resisted, and there were quite a number of them guarding Chen Ying! The lieutenant had been unable to take down the city for a long time and had yet to break through the city.”
"Including the ten thousand soldiers who entered the city first, we have already lost nearly thirty thousand people…"
"This…" After listening to the scout's narration, Xiang Yan's eyes widened and she was instantly rendered speechless.
Even if he didn't know why Chen Ying had sent so many Qin soldiers, he knew that something must have happened to Young Master Jinghan.
It was no longer important whether Lord Chang Ping had betrayed Qin and returned to Chu.
To the current Chu Country, it was enough to be considered to have suffered a double loss.
Not only did they lose Young Master Jing Han, but they also caused the army of 100,000 to suffer heavy losses.
After a long time, Xiang Yan finally recovered and asked weakly,""Where did the Qin army in Chen Ying come from?”
"According to the information sent by the lieutenant, the Qin army stationed at Chen Ying is under the banner of 'Meng'. It should be the army led by Meng Tian.”
"Meng Tian?" Didn't Meng Tian leave Chen Ying with Li Xin and attack Yanling?”
"Young Master wouldn't have attacked when Meng Tian was still near Chen Ying! Why would Meng Tian appear in Chen Ying?”Xiang Yan questioned sternly.
"This…" the scout said submissively. The information sent by the lieutenant did not explain, so this subordinate does not know…"
As soon as he finished speaking, another scout ran into the hall in a panic.
"Report!"
"General, bad news!"
Before Xiang Yan could ask, the scout said directly,"The Qin army, the Qin army has appeared at Chengfu City!”
Xiang Yan was completely confused.
Chen Ying had Qin troops, Yanling had Qin troops, and now Chengfu also had Qin troops.
Other than Xiang City, where the remaining 200,000 Chu soldiers were stationed, the other key cities were all occupied by the Qin army.
Wasn't it said that the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had only sent Li Xin and 200,000 soldiers into Chu?
Right now, the Qin army was everywhere in the Chu Country. How did this look like there were only 200,000 troops?
Xiang Yan did not say anything. A deputy general at the side asked,"Who is leading the Qin army?"
"Qin General Li Xin!"
"Li Xin?"
"How is that possible? Just now, there was news that Li Xin's army was attacking Yanling, so why did he suddenly run to Chengfu?”
The few deputies stared at each other, unable to think of a reason.
"Not good!" Xiang Yan snapped back to her senses and exclaimed," I'm afraid Yanling has fallen!”
"General, it can't be. Even if Li Xin led 200,000 Qin soldiers, it's impossible to take down Yanling in such a short time.”
"That's right. I understand Yanling City quite well. Even if we attack with 200,000 soldiers, we won't be able to break through the city in three days.”
"It must be Li Xin's trick to confuse our judgment!”
Xiang Yan was indeed the pillar of the Chu Country. After a moment of confusion, he calmed down and said in a deep voice,"Even if it's Li Xin's trick, we can't ignore Father Cheng's safety.”
"Chengfu is an important place for our Chu army to store food. If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
"The Qin army can even march directly from Chengfu into Ying Du, threatening the safety of our king.”
The deputy generals also realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly said,"Then how should we deal with it? Please give me your instructions, General."
" We can only reinforce Chengfu now. When our main force reaches Chengfu, we will know Li Xin's scheme," Xiang Yan said calmly." I will send people back to Ying Du and request the king to send more troops!”
"Now it seems that the 300,000 strong army is no longer able to guarantee the safety of Chu.”
"Everyone, quickly return to the camp and prepare the soldiers. We need to set off immediately and rush to Chengfu!”
"Yes!"
