Chapter 56 Transformation
Under the city tower, the sound of killing never stopped.
Li Xiaoyao, standing on the city tower, looked at the direction where Lin Wei and his sisters escaped, and was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous here. You'd better go down the city tower and hide!"
"Lin Xiao?"
Li Xiaoyao was stunned and hurriedly looked back.
"Guo Hu!"
When Li Xiaoyao saw Guo Hu behind him, he felt a little disappointed.
Not long ago, Lin Xiao also said the same thing to him, but Lin Xiao could still stand in front of him at that time, and now, in order to save him...
Life and death are uncertain now.
He suppressed the grief in his heart, calmed down and said, "Lin Xiao..."
"Lin Xiao..."
He choked and couldn't speak.
He felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know who to tell him.
He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Now that Chu and Han are fighting, he cannot affect the morale of the soldiers just because of his heart.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Guo Hu noticed Li Xiaoyao's abnormality and asked with some concern.
Lin Xiao was also very sad when he was in the sword, but as the commander of the army, he knew that this was not the time to be sad.
"I'm fine!" Li Xiaoyao calmed down and looked at the soldiers who had been blocking the feather arrows for him, and he became cruel.
"Guo Hu, send someone to the royal palace immediately, go to the base from the secret passage, and move out all the crossbows in the base to me."
"I!"
"I don't want to endure it anymore."
"I!"
"We want to destroy Chu!"
Li Xiaoyao said with a cold expression and a sinister look.
"No!" Guo Hu's eyes showed fierce light. He had long wanted to be open and kill him quickly.
He led a few soldiers and ran down the city tower.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army retreated."
"Your Majesty, the Chu army retreated."
Ye Hongyuan ran over from a distance, and then the soldiers on the city tower cheered.
Li Xiaoyao walked to the city wall and looked at the retreating Chu army with a calm expression.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties this time. If we hold on for a few days, the Chu army will retreat."
Ye Hongyuan said happily. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao did not reply, he thought Li Xiaoyao was so excited that he couldn't speak, so he continued:
"We can defeat the Chu army this time thanks to General Guo's archers."
"Ah... no, it's almost the same as an archer anyway, but the power of that weapon is much stronger than that of a bow and arrow. It not only has a long range, but also has a great lethality."
"Especially, this kind of poison-coated bow and arrow is sealed with blood. Chu Jun suffered this time! Hahaha..."
"Go out of the city to fight tomorrow." Li Xiaoyao said coldly.
"What?" Ye Hongyuan was shocked.
Although the Chu army was defeated today, it was with the help of the strong city walls and the ten thousand weapons in Guo Hu's army with extremely strong lethality.
Your Majesty, he was a little inflamed when he saw the victory, right?
"Your Majesty, although the Chu army suffered a little today, their overall strength is much stronger than ours!"
"You must not go out of the city to fight!"
Ye Hongyuan said with a serious expression.
"Ye Hongyuan, I will take back all military power today. From now on, you must obey me unconditionally." Li Xiaoyao said with a cold expression: "The Chu army has strong combat power, because their soldiers are well-trained and there are tens of thousands of archers, but they do not have powerful cavalry."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Ye Hongyuan was slightly angry.
Do a little kid who speaks like a joke know what war is?
His thick eyebrows were frowning. Could it be that as Lu Weizhi said before his death, His Majesty just wanted to use his hand to get rid of dissidents?
"Ye Hongyuan, I know your concerns. Maybe you think that when I see you win a battle, I feel a little complacent and complacent."
Li Xiaoyao turned around and looked at him head-on, exuding a momentum of dominating the world all over his body, and said indifferently: "I have never fought a war that I am inconsistent!"
Then, he turned around and walked down the city tower.
Ye Hongyuan was stunned and his heart trembled.
He didn't know where Li Xiaoyao got his confidence, but he really felt the urge to worship him.
He looked up at Li Xiaoyao's towering back, with some confusion and some servile obedience.
Chu Army Camp.
In the central army's tent, Nangong Yue supported the table in the tent with both hands, and his face was a little cold.
In today's battle, the army that siege the city failed to even build a ladder, so she lost 20,000 troops.
She had a clear understanding of the combat power of the Han army, but today, the weapons similar to bows and arrows made her helpless and could only call the gold to withdraw the troops.
"Li Xiaoyao, is this your trump card?" She clenched her pink fists and slammed heavily on the table.
"General Nangong, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. The reason why the Han army can achieve a small victory today."
"That's because they rely on the strong Xuancheng walls. The subordinates thought that as long as we can lure them out of the city, we would take down Seoul without any effort." The scar man standing on one side said carefully.
At this time, a confused voice came in from outside the tent.
"General Nangong, why did you suddenly retreat?" The second prince was in a hurry and walked in a hurry. After a while, he walked in from outside the tent.
"Second Prince." Nangong Yue turned around and shouted with a calm expression.
"Yeah!" the second prince nodded and said, "Just just now, I was on the hill next to me. Seeing that the Chu army was about to climb the city tower, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?"
"The second prince doesn't know anything. There was a mistake in our information before." Nangong Yue replied with an embarrassing expression.
"Oh?" the second prince frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"Second Prince, do you know how many Han troops are in Xuancheng now?" Nangong Yue said slowly.
"Isn't it Guo Hu's 100,000 border troops?" The second prince said disdainfully: "Their combat power is not worth mentioning."
"Oh!"
Nangong Yue's mouth raised slightly: "Second Prince, I'm going to tell you, I thought so before."
"However, in today's battle, their combat power has exceeded my imagination. I used to underestimate the enemy, and now there are 250,000 Han troops in Xuancheng."
"What? Two hundred and fifty thousand Han troops?" The second prince said in shock. Then, he shook his head and continued, "It is impossible. The total strength of Han troops is no more than 400,000, Hengcheng has 200,000, and the capital city has 60,000. Where can Xuancheng get the 250,000 army?"
"Even if the capital is not set up, Empress Dowager Lu has transferred 60,000 troops from the capital, and they only have 160,000 troops. Where can they get 250,000 troops?"
"It was Ye Hongyuan from Hengcheng. He personally led an army of 100,000 to Xuancheng, and the capital also sent an army of 50,000." Nangong Yue said.
"Is Empress Dowager Lu crazy? The 200,000 troops in Hengcheng are used to defend Zhao. She is not afraid that Zhao will take advantage of the situation?" The second prince said in confusion.
