As soon as Xiang Yan left Xiang City, she received a report from the defeated army.
Cheng Fu had been broken through by Li Xin and captured a large number of Chu soldiers, but a small number of them had escaped the city.
These Chu soldiers who had escaped from Chengfu naturally rushed towards Xiang Yan.
He brought the news of Cheng Fu being defeated by Li Xin to Xiang Yan.
"General, Father Cheng, Father Cheng has really been breached by Li Xin…" The deputy general muttered to Xiang Yan in disbelief.
He didn't believe that Yan Ling could be taken down by the Qin army in such a short time.
After all, Li Xin had 200,000 troops under him, which was several times the number of troops defending Yanling.
However, Chengfu was clearly stronger than Yanling, and the number of Chu troops stationed there was greater.
Why was the Qin army led by Li Xin able to break through so quickly?
Before the 200,000 Chu army could arrive, the defeated army of Cheng Fu had already sent them the news that Cheng Fu had been defeated.
Was that Li Xin really that godly?
Xiang Yan closed her eyes weakly,"I knew it…"
"General, since things have come to this, we should hurry to Chengfu. Chengfu is an important place for our army to store food. We can't let the Qin army take it!”The other deputy general was anxious.
In order to deal with Great Qin's attacks, the Chu Country had already gathered all of its grain.
Other than Yanling and Chengfu, only Ying Du had food left.
Now that Yanling had been lost, if they did not take back Chengfu, Chu would definitely be at a disadvantage.
In the eyes of the deputy general, they had to take back Cheng Fu from Li Xin.
" No," Xiang Yan shook his head," Now that Li Xin has occupied the city, if our army attacks blindly, we will only lose more troops.”
Facing the surprised deputies, Xiang Yan sighed."My Great Chu can no longer withstand any more losses…"
"There's news from Ying Du. The king has agreed to recruit more soldiers, but they won't be able to do so in a short period of time. However, the Qin army led by Wang Ben from Wei is approaching Chen Ying, and they want to reinforce Meng Tian.”
"Once Wang Ben and Meng Tian enter the Chu Country, we won't just be facing Li Xin's 200,000-strong Qin army.”
When Xiang Yan told them the news from King Chu, everyone was terrified.
"What is it? Wang Ben's army was approaching Chen Ying?”
"What should we do now? The hundred thousand soldiers in Chen Ying's army have already suffered heavy losses, and once Wang Ben's army reaches Chen Ying, they might be wiped out!”
"Our Great Chu only has three hundred thousand soldiers, and it's already very difficult for us to deal with Li Xin's two hundred thousand soldiers, let alone Wang Ben's army.”
"General, how should we respond? General, please give your orders!"
For a moment, the Chu army's vice generals turned their gazes to Xiang Yan.
As the backbone of the Chu army, they could only place all their hopes on Xiang Yan.
"Don't panic. The most important thing now is to protect Ying Du!”
Xiang Yan calmly said,"After Li Xin's army breaks through Chengfu, they will definitely pursue the victory and march towards Ying Du, intending to break through Ying Du in one fell swoop."”
"If we really let Li Xin succeed, our Great Chu will completely lose!”
"Yes! We must not let the Qin army succeed!"
"General's analysis is reasonable, then we will immediately approach Ying Du and enter Ying Du before Li Xin's army!”
"When we return to Ying Du, I will suggest to the king to speed up the recruitment."”
"Once our army can rely on Ying Du to defend and make Li Xin's army pay the price, we will have a chance to counterattack!”
"Now that the outcome has not been determined, everyone, don't be discouraged. We still have to rely on you to protect our Great Chu!”
"General, don't worry. We won't let Great Chu down!"”
"Even if I have to pay with my life, I will protect Ying Du!”
Xiang Yan waved her hand and ordered," Pass on my orders. Order Chen Ying's army to withdraw immediately and rush to Ying City at full speed. Our main force will also change direction and gather at Ying City!"”
"Yes!"
......
Chen Ying
Meng Tian stood on the city wall worriedly, looking at the Chu army stationed below the city.
It was true that Chen Ying was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he only had fifty thousand Qin soldiers.
Moreover, they were all temporarily reorganized from cavalry to defend the city.
In the beginning, they had hung the Chu flag on the city wall to lure the 10,000 Chu soldiers into the city. They had already paid a price to destroy these 10,000 soldiers.
They still had to face the Chu army attacking the city.
The pressure on Meng Tian could be imagined.
Fortunately, Chen Ying's city was strong and Meng Tian managed to repel several waves of Chu army attacks.
However, defending the city was obviously not a long-term solution.
There were still 70,000 Chu soldiers under the city.
As for Chen Ying City, there were only 30,000 to 40,000 left.
"Sigh, Li Xin, Li Xin, how is it on your side? Send me a message!"
"This way, I can still motivate the soldiers guarding the city to hold on for a few more days.”
Just as Meng Tian was sighing, a scout quickly ran up the city wall and cupped his hands at Meng Tian.""General! An urgent report came from Xianyang!"
"Speak!"
"His Majesty has received the military intelligence from General Wang Ben, and has ordered General Wang Ben to lead his army to Chen Ying!”
"I think General Wang Ben will be here with his army in less than three days!”
Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and the worry on her face was instantly swept away.
"That's great! Wang Ben led the army to rescue, Chen Ying will not worry!”
Not long ago, Wang Ben led a hundred thousand Qin soldiers to flood Daliang City and successfully destroy the Wei Kingdom.
Before the flood, Wang Ben had tried to attack Daliang City, but he had failed to do so.
With the addition of Wang Ben, Meng Tian was confident that she would be able to continue fighting alongside the Chu army!
Just as Meng Tian was about to inform the soldiers guarding the city, another scout came to report.
"Report!"
"General Li Xin has sent good news!"
