In the previous two and a half days, Zhao Hao tried 1,800 steps, 1,900 steps, and 2,000 steps.
Among them, the one thousand eight hundred steps has the highest accuracy.
The second is one thousand nine hundred steps.
The last two thousand steps.
When it reaches two thousand steps, the wind speed has an increasingly greater impact on the crossbow arrows.
Zhao Hao didn't say anything, but raised his finger and took a simple measurement.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Danglu and shook his head at him.
"Old General, this position is still too far away and out of range!"
"This distance is about 2,300 to 2,400 steps."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Danglu also looked at it carefully again.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The siege continued, fortunately with the addition of 10,000 new reinforcements.
Once again, Nan Chu's attack was forcibly blocked.
This time, the hills on both sides were attacked together.
However, the soldiers on the mountain also fought hard to hold their positions.
This battle was more brutal than the previous ones, and the Gan army lost 5,000 generals.
The Southern Chu army suffered losses of nearly 20,000.
On several occasions, the Southern Chu army attacked the city walls.
However, they were eventually defeated tenaciously by Gan's army.
Only one day later, the Southern Chu army launched another attack.
Last time, they saw hope of taking Tucheng.
So, they didn't attack even more fiercely this time.
Zhao Hao did not originally go up to the city wall.
However, a soldier soon came and reported the news.
"My Lord, General Xiao asks you to quickly climb the city wall. The southern barbarians' central army is advancing and is within the range of our crossbows!"
Zhao Hao was overjoyed and quickly took Wu Song and a group of guards to the top of the city wall.
Look from a distance.
Sure enough, the central army of the Southern Chu Army had actually reached a distance of about 1,500 steps.
Xiao Danglu said excitedly: "Little rat, the Southern Chu Army wants to make a concerted effort this time and take down our Tucheng in one fell swoop!"
"So, their center army has advanced a lot!"
Zhao Hao nodded and looked in the direction where it was indeed within the shooting range.
The central army was located in a huge chariot with a yellow umbrella cover on it.
Next to it, there is a yellow dragon flag.
At this distance, you can even see the shape of the dragon on the flag clearly.
This is the four-clawed dragon flag.
This means that the commander-in-chief leading this army was a prince of Southern Chu.
Inside the carriage sat a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe.
The middle-aged man, with two delicate mustaches, looked intimidating without even getting angry.
He is the commander-in-chief of Southern Chu this time, Prince Mu.
He is also the one who holds military power in Nanchu.
It is precisely because of this Prince Mu that the entire Southern Chu has been following the lead of the State of Wu for many years.
Next to Prince Mu stood a woman in a purple-black dress and a conical hat on her head.
The woman was tall and her face was covered with a veil, so her features could not be seen.
But everyone knew who she was.
The female prime minister of Wu State, now Xie Daoxun, wears the seals of the four states.
Before that, she went to the Shu army to supervise the battle, and the Shu army launched a full-scale attack on Luoye City.
What she never expected was that the Shu army suffered a huge defeat just after she left the Shu army camp.
Including the reinforcements, there were a total of 200,000 troops, but they were defeated by only 20,000 dry troops.
The four armies originally put pressure on Dagan from four directions.
Now, the State of Yue is being dragged into the issue and is keeping its troops on hold.
She went to the Shu army camp and ordered the Shu army to launch a full-scale attack, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.
Now, the four countries are basically in a difficult situation of riding a tiger and being unable to back down.
So, she came here again to give advice to Prince Mu.
It was precisely because of her existence that the Southern Chu army was able to break through Jianning in one fell swoop.
On the wall of Tucheng, Zhao Hao looked at the center of the Southern Chu Army.
I also saw Xie Daoxun.
Although she was wearing a big hood on her head.
However, from her figure, Zhao Hao recognized her at a glance.
At this moment, Xie Daoxun was also looking at the earthen city from afar.
And he also saw Zhao Hao vaguely.
This took her by surprise.
According to the news, isn’t Zhao Hao in Luoye City?
How did you get here?
Before she could figure it out, a spear flew over from the earthen city.
The spear was moving at an extremely fast speed, constantly enlarging in her pupils.
In just a moment of distraction, the spear was already close to him.
With a bang, the flagpole between her and Prince Mu was shot down.
The surrounding soldiers were shocked when they saw this.
Prince Mu also widened his eyes, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"What's going on?"
"Did this spear fly from the city wall?"
Xie Daoxun reacted faster. She quickly looked at Prince Mu and shouted, "Your Highness, quickly order the central army to retreat!"
Prince Mu also reacted at this time.
He stood up suddenly, and then shouted to his soldiers to retreat.
However, at this moment, the second spear arrived.
With a bang, the spear pierced through Prince Mu's chest and directly shot the chair behind him into pieces.
Prince Mu's body was also pulled backwards and nailed directly to the yellow wooden board behind the chair.
All the soldiers of Southern Chu were terrified when they saw this scene.
Including Xie Daoxun, no one had ever imagined that such a thing would happen.
