Chapter 481          Fast Growth

Salman obtained a lot of information from the Zhou army through secret channels.

He knew all the troops and horses of this 500,000 Zhou army, as well as the main generals in the Zhou army.

The commander of the Zhou army, King Li Yu of Wu, based on the information he had, he was an ignorant and ridiculous playboy.

Lustful and raising prostitutes.

Among the many princes, he is the least capable one.

The generals below Li Yu, including Chen Fang, Gao Tu, and other generals were originally small figures from the royal palace army.

They have never had the experience of commanding the capital army, nor have the experience of commanding large armies to fight.

At best, he had fought wars with some tribe savages.

In the Zhou army, there was only one general who could take action, including Xungong of Zhou, General Yangwu, and Liang Ping.

The information that came also said that Liang Ping was just a martial artist, good at charging and not commanding the army to fight.

Looking at Liang Ping's life record, there are also highlights of the enemy general's head among the troops!

But he has never been able to tell which major battle he commanded.

But just such a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the Zhou army that was temporarily pieced together was in Huaishan, causing more than 100,000 soldiers to be killed or injured by their own side. Was it because the information they received was wrong, or was Radpur really incompetent?

On the second day of the Battle of Huaishan, Salman led the Xifan army and dispatched all the way.

This time, he divided the Xifan army into three groups.

It is arranged all the way near Huaishan and all the way near Anshan.

The purpose of these two troops was mainly to prevent Huaishan Fortress and Anshan Fortress from reinforcements to Huai'an City.

Salman himself, the main army personally led the main force, launched a fierce attack on Huaian City.

The first day of the siege was difficult to fight, and this siege was increasingly difficult to fight.

Where do soldiers grow the fastest?

Not in the military camp, but on the battlefield.

Even the new recruit who had never seen blood can grow up quickly after a life-and-death battle.

This is how Zhou Jun is now.

When the Xifan Army attacked Huaian City for the first time, the soldiers of the capital were all frightened.

Before the battle began, they were already scared by the fierce Xifan army and believed that they could not win this battle.

So when facing the fierce and fierce attack of the Xifan Army, they really couldn't stand it.

At that time, it was all thanks to the bloody battles of the soldiers of the border army, so that the situation could be stabilized.

Now, the soldiers of the capital army are already different from when the war first started.

They have already had the experience of great wars and have experienced the test of life and death.

What's more important is that the great victory in the Battle of Huaishan not only greatly reduced their fear of the Xifan Army, but also had an impulse in everyone's heart, and the impulse to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions.

As soon as the battle began, the Zhou army in Huaian City showed strong combat power and fighting will.

Facing the overwhelming Xifan Army outside the city, the soldiers of the Zhou army calmly responded to the battle and performed their own duties.

The arrow that should be fired, and the arrow that should be thrown is the rolling stone that should be thrown.

The attack of the Xifan Army was like a tide, one after another, and the resistance of the Zhou army was extremely fierce and tenacious, and the attack of the Xifan Army was repelled one after another.

The fierce battle between the two sides started in the morning and continued until it was dark.

The corpses under Huaian City were stacked with roaming and were already very tall.

Even the moat was filled with floating corpses, and the river water had been dyed red by blood.

Seeing that the battle was fierce for a day and no achievements were made, the soldiers on their side were exhausted physically and mentally. In desperation, Salman had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

The next day, the Xifan Army still launched a crazy attack on Huaian City.

But today the combat effectiveness shown by the Zhou army soldiers was even stronger than the previous day.

As the attacking side, you can clearly feel that the Zhou army soldiers who were defending the city were growing rapidly and even transforming.

From a group of mobs to an elite army.

Under the command of Salman, the Xifan army attacked Huaian City for three consecutive days.

During these three days, the offensive side came up with various offensive means, and the defensive side also came up with various ways to defend the enemy.

The soldiers of both sides, and even the coaches of both sides, were fighting wits and courage, and the battle was inextricable.

Three days later, Huaian City was still firmly controlled by the Zhou army, but the Xifan Army suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Salman made an unexpected move.

The camp moves forward.

Originally, the Xifan Army camp was five miles away from Huaian City, moving forward and backward, and the Xifan Army camp was less than two miles away from Huaian City.

At such a close distance, standing on the top of the city, you can see the front battalion of the Xifan Army clearly.

After moving the camp to the vicinity of Huaian City, although the Xifan Army still came to attack the city every day, the offensive was no longer as fierce as the previous three days. Most of the time, it was a feint attack.

Li Yu and others in Huaian City were also discussing the abnormal behavior of the Xifan Army.

Li Yu and his generals stood in the city gate tower.

Looking at the Xifan Army camp that was close to Huaian City outside the city, Liang Ping couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The distance between the two sides is so close that the Xifan Army is a little turbulent, and we can see clearly in the city gate tower!"

The height of the city gate tower is much higher than the height of the Xifan military camp wall.

Li Yu held the arrow pile with his hand and looked at the camp outside the field, frowned and his eyes flashed.

He was also wondering what the purpose of the Xifan Army doing this was.

Liang Ping said to Li Yu seriously: "Your Highness, the Xifan Army's move to camp violates the law of war. I am worried that... I'm afraid there are hidden tricks!"

Li Yu thought so too, but he couldn't think of what he was selling in the Xifan Army's gourd.

As time passed day by day, the Xifan army outside the city stopped for a day, and feint attacks continued to harass, but they just stopped siegeing the city on a large scale.

On this day, Li Yu was observing the movements of the Xifan Army camp on the city gate. A soldier ran over quickly, intervened and saluted Li Yu, and said, "Your Highness, Qin He came to a boat. The person on the boat claimed to be from Wan!"

Wanguo people?

Li Yu was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring them here to see me!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

The south of Huaian City is the Qin River.

At present, the connection between Huaian City and the outside world mainly depends on Qinhe.

The food, supplies, and other supplies transported by the imperial court also took the Qin River waterway.

Nearly an hour later, a group of Western Regions dressed in Zhou Dynasty costumes were taken to the city gate tower by dozens of soldiers.

Some of these Western Regions have women, some are old and some are young.

Among the crowd, Li Yu also saw a familiar figure, Princess Amani of Wanguo.

At this time, Amani no longer had the princess costume she had worn before. Instead, she was wearing a rough man's clothes. Because the clothes were slightly more serious, they did not fit, which made her look both awkward and funny.

Before Li Yu could speak, a middle-aged Western Regions man walked out of the crowd.

He stroked Li Yu's chest and said, "Sharp has met His Highness the King of Wu in Zhou!"
