Chu Wang Ningchu was shocked as expected, as Xiang Yan said.

People are often like this, staying in a familiar environment until the last minute will not be willing to change.

Chu Wang Ningchu is no exception.

He refused to leave Shouchun for the reason that Lord Changping was under his control, but also for his own reasons: the king of Chu was familiar with Shouchun, and he was born with a sense of security in familiar places.

What about moving the capital to Dongting, and even going to Baiyue to avoid war... What kind of suffering does the ghost know?

So even though the king of Chu knew that the hope of uniting all ethnic groups to attack the Qin army's supply line was very slim, he was still willing to give it a try.

He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until Shouchun Tuantuan was besieged by the Qin Jun: If the Qin Jun kept besieging him like this for one, two, three years... Wouldn't he starve to death in this city?

In the meantime, King Chu Wang also went to the city to look twice.

Seeing that the morale and murderous spirit of the Qin army below were high, King Chu's heart was even more regretful. He secretly knew that this would have to listen to Xiang Yan's move to the capital.

At this time, the servant sent a letter to King Chu Wang, saying:

"My lord, the general's secret letter."

Chu Wang Jian hurried to open it.

The letter first stated that although Lord Changping tried his best to lobby, all ethnic groups were unwilling to send troops. It also said that the only way for the present is to break through from the north of the city. I wonder if the king is willing to go out of the city?

The king of Chu was overjoyed, so he immediately sent a book to Fei Ge to express his willingness to leave the city and asked about the detailed plan.

The breakout time is set at midnight three days later.

The reason why I decided to stay here was that most of the soldiers of the Qin Army were already asleep.

In addition, not many people pay attention to the drop in the water level of the Huai River at night.

Furthermore, it was more difficult for the Qin army to rebuild the floating bridge in the dark, so the Chu army had more time to attack the Liang army.

The battle plan was very simple. For the Chu army in the city, it was only necessary to attack the three gates to outflank the Liang army when the Huai River was cut off.

Xiang Yan even has arrangements for how to leave the city:

Let the soldiers prepare a large amount of "straw mud" at the city gate.

The so-called "straw mud" is the sandbag used by the ancients to build dams.

After only waiting for the Huai River to dry up at night, the soldiers were ordered to take "straw mud" out of the city to fill the river and paved a road to the river.

Then the soldiers went out of the city and Xiang Yan's main force attacked the Liang army, while the capital guard army covered the king of Chu out of the city to join Xiang Yan's main force.

All the arrangements are perfect. If implemented according to this plan, Shen Bing and his beam army might really be overwhelmed.

After all, that was more than a hundred thousand Chu army, and Shen Bing and his party were still in danger.

If Shen Bing has any "risk" to guard, it is a walled city made of wooden grids.

But this walled city couldn't stop the attack of the Chu army trebuchet at all.

On the other hand, Yang Duanhe and his army will be blocked on the opposite side by the dried-up Huai River... Actually, they will not be blocked on the other side. Yang Duanhe’s army can still reinforce Huaibei.

But the reinforcements had to get off the riverbed and then step on the mud to cross the river. This was not only slow, but also easily blocked by Xiang Yan and the Chu army who went out of the city to fight with trebuchets.

It would be a drop in the bucket to successfully reinforce Huaibei's forces by then.

It was when Shen Bing was re-organizing the Shenwu Army.

The Shenwu Army suffered heavy casualties since the last World War I in Ruyin. There were only more than 1,200 people left in the army, and Chen Duan, a captain, also died.

Not to mention the need to reorganize the organization for more than one thousand people, but also need to supplement troops to maintain combat effectiveness.

The reason for the reorganization at this time was because both Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing believed that the siege was a long-term battle.

Because it is not difficult to imagine that the king of Chu daring to stay in the city must have sufficient food and grass.

They even drove out a group of people before the Qin army arrived...Most of these people are the old and the weak. The old and the weak will only consume food in the city, while the young and strong people may become a source of troops and labor in the city.

Therefore, if you want to spend all the food in the spring of life, you will have to surround it for one or two years.

Yang Duanhe was not in a hurry, anyway, surrounding Chu Kingdom with King Chu like this would be in name only.

Since the coming to Japan is long, Qin Jun will do what he should do.

Shen Bing planned to expand the Shenwu Army into a cavalry force of 5,000 men.

This time there is no need for this cavalry to know how to fight in water and to ride and shoot... The reason why the Black Armored Army was required to do both was to destroy Chu.

There is a saying that "people who have no long-term worry must have near-worries", Shen Bing thinks far.

If Chu State were to be destroyed, then Yan State, Dai State, and even Qi State would not be worth mentioning, and there would be no difficulty in unifying the Central Plains.

Next is the issue of the Northern Huns, that is, Shen Bing is likely to face the Huns.

What tactics did you use against the Huns?

Like Meng Tian, ​​use a lot of people's power to connect the Great Walls of all countries into one piece?

This may be useful, because many dynasties after Qin strengthened and extended the Qin Great Wall to prevent the northern nomads from going south.

Although the situation is still not blocked, it has contributed to the stability and prosperity of the Central Plains.

However, Shen Bing believed that building the Great Wall didn't need to be rushed for a while and could take it slowly. Like Ying Zheng, the people were expropriated and the people were hurting money... so it became one of the inducements of Qin's demise.

If building the Great Wall is not in a hurry, we must find another effective and feasible way to defeat the Xiongnu.

There is no need to think about it.

And it must be a cavalry, which is a veritable cavalry rather than an infantry on horseback.

The Shenwu Army must be such a cavalry.

It takes time to train, so Shen Bing must want to be in front.

There were many sources of troops. With the support of Yang Duanhe, the cavalry he placed was left to Shen Bing to choose.

Shen Bing couldn't help being overjoyed. He even felt that this was a bit unrealistic... You must know that these cavalry were all old men who had followed Yang Duanhe for many years. Northern goblin rides.

Needless to say, what happened during the battle between Qin and Zhao. Zhao's cavalry is well-known in the world. Even if you can fight against it, even if you haven't beaten it, you will gain experience in its tactics.

The Northern Goblin Cavalry is an elite who has fought with the Huns for many years and even beat the Huns to the ground.

Now Yang Duanhe is actually willing to send these veterans to Shen Bing?

This is a great favor.

Of course Shen Bing didn't know that Yang Duanhe was planning for his future:

Give Shen Bing more help now, when Shen Bing takes the post...

Therefore, Jiang is still very hot. Although Shen Bing knows how to deal with the enemy and prepare for the future, he is completely taken aback by these internal human relations accidents.

So a 5,000-man Shenwu Army was quickly formed, and it was trained to ride and shoot under Shouchun City.

However, during training, Shen Bing found that Shouchun City was somewhat abnormal.

In the past two days, the number of soldiers at the top of the city suddenly increased, and there were some people looking at the Huai River below the city...

That's because Chu Jun was estimating how many "grass mud packs" the Huaihe would need to fill a path.
