"We only have one chance."

Wu Chongxing raised his finger and pointed at a city on the map on the table.

The deposed emperor is now cowering in Wanghai City in front of them, and behind him is Chen Guan, who is stationing grain, which is his target.

However, these two are fortified cities. Compared with Yucheng and other cities they captured yesterday, they have complex terrain that is extremely difficult to march on.

"The power of the artillery has been made known to the deposed emperor. They must be reinforcing the city wall desperately now. It is impossible for us to break through several cities in one day."

Zhao Yuanqing listened to him quietly, nodding from time to time without any intention of interrupting.

"The best strategy now is to trick them into transporting grain and grass out of Chenguan."

Wu Chongxing expressed his plan.

"The deposed emperor refuses to retreat no matter what. We will attack Wanghai City tomorrow to make him understand that we will be able to break the city within a few days."

He knew that Emperor Yongzhao would definitely not retreat again and again. He had probably already formulated a plan to defend the city, so they would not take the risk of transferring Chen Guanzhong's food and grass.

"Under the threat of breaking the city, he will have to transport money and food. After all, after Wanghai City is Chenguan, they will not want to burn the baggage."

Wu Chongxing said with a confident tone.

Chenguan is now the largest grain storage place in the Seven Kingdoms.

This place was far away from Yucheng and was originally safe. Even if they were killed, they would never have imagined that they would lose several cities in one day.

"But even if we break through Wanghai City, they can rob the team that shipped out from Chenguan, but they won't be able to rob much, right?"

"No, we shouldn't attack the city again before we reach Chenguan and let them transport grain."

Wu Chongxing showed a sneer.

"When marching and fighting, we still have to leave a way for people to survive. We cannot force the enemy to fight to the death."

Zhao Yuanqing suddenly realized what he meant. They could not take away all the rebels' food this time.

If you really want to eat a full meal in one bite, you will only end up hungry. You should eat your meal slowly and gracefully in small bites.

This time the food robbery cannot be accomplished in one step.

"We don't stop them from transporting food, but we take away most of it every time. This way they won't be overwhelmed."

The military counselor will give the final strategy. The enemy's food shipment cannot be completed in one go. They will grab most of it every time and leave the smaller half for them. The rebels will tolerate it instead of breaking out.

"Great plan! The military general is a great talent, but the most difficult part of this plan is to quickly descend to Wanghai City."

Zhao Yuanqing patted his hands and praised, then frowned.

Their plan was all based on quickly conquering Wanghai City.

If the enemy troops had transported the grain and grass away from Chenguan before breaking the city, there would be no need to play.

"No matter what, Wanghai City will be defeated within three days. Please do your best according to the commander-in-chief."

Wu Chongxing stood up and bowed to him.

"I will do my best."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded.

He believed that General Wu's strategy was feasible.

As long as they can steal most of the enemy's food and grass, they will be victorious, and the victims of the Jiangnan disaster relief food will not need to be reduced.

"You and I are fully prepared today to attack Wanghai City tomorrow! We will seize the city in three days."

The commander-in-chief took the decision.

Zhao Cuo also received the report at noon.

He felt for a moment that he really had not cultivated the wrong person. Wu Chongxing was indeed a good soldier and could be put to great use.

"I will lead the troops with you to attack Wanghai City tomorrow morning."

General Zhao is determined to go into battle in person.

In fact, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he only needs to control the situation remotely from the palace.

However, he has a little pain in his back. If he stays in the palace all the time, he may not have the strength to ride a horse and fight next time.

"I wonder if Anle has seen his relatives?"

Zhao Thief suddenly frowned again.

The little witch went to the deposed emperor yesterday.

He consciously wanted to cultivate the feelings of Empress Xiao Chen, and family affection was of course indispensable, so he did not intend to kill the Huainan Wang family after the war.

"She is in Wanghai City now, right?"

…

"Have the casualties of the army been counted?"

Emperor Yongzhao sat on the tower of Wanghai City with a pale face.

He knew the power of the imperial artillery, but he still stayed on the city wall that bore the brunt of the attack, just for the sake of his little morale.

Right in front of him was Lin Anmin, the leader of King Qin's army. This man also looked tired. On the other side was King Huainan. They all looked bad now.

"The coalition forces suffered fifty thousand casualties and more than a thousand fled. The Bull Hunters also suffered over ten thousand casualties and nearly five thousand deserters."

As Lin Anmin spoke, he covered his mouth and coughed several times with a painful look on his face.

Yesterday's artillery fire really frightened the soldiers of the army.

Thousands of soldiers who were afraid of "sky thunder" fled in one night.

"Damn..."

The deposed emperor's face was ashen.

Nearly one-third of the troops were lost in this battle.

The Zhao thieves were too fierce. After a series of attacks from both front and back, too many soldiers died in the breakout.

"Losing soldiers and generals can be tolerated, but it will be over if morale drops."

King Huainan sighed softly.

Today's situation is worse than yesterday.

The soldiers of King Qin's army were almost psychologically affected by the sound of cannons, and they were so depressed. How could they go out of the city to meet the enemy?

"We can't retreat anymore. Behind us is Chen Guan, where the army stores food and grass!"

The young emperor did not recover after a fall.

"We're going to fight!"

His expression remained determined.

"The puppet army will not give us much time. Next time they attack, we must go out of the city to fight them."

Emperor Yongzhao did not want to be beaten passively. Yesterday, he did not expect the presence of artillery and the army was too tired to fight on the road.

"The morale of our army is now low. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. It may be disadvantageous to rush into battle with the rebels."

Lin Anmin said hesitantly.

How could he not see that the current situation was almost one-sided.

The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and they could defend the city for a while even if they were prepared, but in the end they couldn't hold on forever.

"I will gather the army later and I will personally encourage them. Now there is no way to retreat!"

The deposed emperor gritted his teeth and said.

"His Majesty……"

King Huainan's words are carefully crafted and authentic.

"Our army's granary is at Chenguan behind Wanghai City. Do we need to move the grain to the rear? If something unexpected happens..."

"The king does not need to mention this matter again. We have no way to retreat and must defend Wanghai City!"

The young emperor said firmly.

He knew it would be out of control if he retreated any further.

How many cities are there behind? If he retreats ten more cities, he may even lose Huainan. Although Southern Xinjiang has also surrendered to him, it is a foreign land after all, and he cannot retreat to a barbaric land.

"Mr. Lin, when the bandit army invades, you must prepare and fight!"

He ordered decisively.

"yes!"

Lin Anmin nodded solemnly.

"I will lead the troops out of the city tonight to form a formation. If the Zhao thieves dare to come, they will be killed and driven back."
