Just as the imperial edict was rushing towards Luoye City, a fierce battle was also unfolding in the imperial capital of Yue State.
Faced with the attack of 200,000 troops from Wu and Southern Chu, the large army that had just occupied the imperial capital of Shu and captured all the court officials and royal family members also launched a counterattack.
After the initial tension, their defense turned out to be quite easy.
Because the combat effectiveness of the Wu army is still not bad.
In theory, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Chu Army is also very strong, but they seem to be unable to cope with the siege.
He has much less experience than Wu Jun.
This is also the reason why they did not achieve good results in their previous attacks on Jianning City.
On the top of the city wall, Xiao Chuyun and Yu Ping stood side by side.
Yu Ping looked outside the city, at the densely packed Wu and Southern Chu troops that looked like locusts.
"General, it's time to use the sky bomber to teach them a lesson."
"Look, the central army is right there. We can wipe them out with one shot!"
"Right now, the domestic situation is not optimistic. We must break the siege as soon as possible."
Xiao Chuyun nodded slightly and said, "The domestic situation is indeed not optimistic, but we can't be too anxious."
"Since Wu and Nanchu dare to enter Yue to fight, I will give them a taste of my power."
"How can we let them get away with it?"
It was not difficult for him to break through the encirclement.
However, what he was worried about was that he would be entangled by the enemy's 200,000 troops.
Therefore, it is an advantage to defend the city now. He uses the current advantage to cripple the enemy in one fell swoop.
At the center of the coalition forces, Xie Daoxun, dressed in white, was looking towards the top of the city wall.
Her speed was already very fast, but, in the end, she was still a step too late.
The combat effectiveness of the Yue army is really too poor.
I couldn't even last a day and a night.
If we had held on a little longer, the situation wouldn't be like this now.
Seeing the soldiers of the Southern Chu Army, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly.
It should be very difficult to take down the imperial capital.
Fortunately, she just tried it.
If you can't take it, then surround the opponent.
As long as she prevents the soldiers inside from breaking out, it will have the same effect on her.
Sound the gong!
When the attacking soldiers heard the sound of the horn, they immediately retreated like a tide.
Not only that, the surrounding army also retreated several miles away.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Chuyun's eyes flickered on the top of the city wall.
"This reaction is fast enough!"
Seeing this, Yu Ping, who was standing by, also felt a sense of regret.
"What a shame. If their attack had been more intense, we would have been able to take action!"
Xiao Chuyun shook his head: "It doesn't matter, they probably want to surround us and delay us."
"Let's go, let's go back and think about how to deal with it."
Yu Ping nodded, and the two turned around and walked towards the city wall. Yu Ping said as he walked, "General, we can't stay in this city for long. After all, there are so many civilians..."
They needed to mobilize a large number of soldiers to guard the many civilians in the city and prevent some of them from doing evil in secret.
Xiao Chuyun was of course aware of this situation, but it was nothing.
"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back!"
After returning to a spacious temple, Xiao Chuyun called all the generals over.
Everyone discussed the time to break out.
Yu Ping said: "General, no matter what method you use, you must seize every moment, this is the purpose."
"Another point is how far we are going to fight."
"The general said before that he wanted to cripple the Wu-Chu coalition, but I don't think that's necessary!"
Xiao Chuyun smiled: "Oh? What does General Yu Ping mean?"
Yu Ping said: "We must seize every moment now to break through and return home. This will allow me to do great things and remain invincible."
"If we return too late, one of the three cities will be breached and the situation will be reversed."
Xiao Chuyun nodded slightly and said, "Go on."
Yu Ping said: "So what I mean is that there is no need to cripple the army outside the city."
Xiao Chuyun looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them bowed and said, "General, I think General Yu Ping is right!"
Xiao Chuyun said: "Think about it, if we can't cripple the Wu and Southern Chu armies outside the city, how can we achieve our goal of sending troops to Yue this time?"
"We are sending out troops this time to destroy the Kingdom of Yue."
"When we sent out the troops, your majesty made it very clear that we were destroying Yue in order to occupy it."
"Relying on the vast resources of Yue State, we will strengthen our ability to do great things."
"In this way, we will be able to have the power to pacify the countries in the future."
Yu Ping said quickly: "General, as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes."
"Since nothing can be done now, we should change our goal immediately."
“Once we get back late, it’s no joke!”
Xiao Chuyun's eyes moved, and he said, "Of course I understand, but I believe that we still have time. There will be no problems in the country within a month!"
Yu Ping was shocked and asked, "Why is the general..."
Xiao Chuyun smiled and asked, "Why are you so confident?"
Yu Ping nodded.
Everyone was also puzzled.
Xiao Chuyun said: "There is no reason, this general just has this confidence!"
"With Shu and Wu, they will never be able to take over our three cities of Jianning, Tongshan, and Luoye in such a short time!"
"So we still have time!"
Yu Ping immediately looked worried and said, "General, this is playing with fire!"
Xiao Chuyun said: "Don't worry, if it is really urgent, His Majesty's decree will definitely arrive!"
"When that time comes, it won't be too late for us to go back and turn the tide!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, everyone stopped talking.
However, he was obviously still very worried.
Especially Yu Ping, who looked like he was worried about something.
Xiao Chuyun continued, "Now, what we need to consider is how to use the least cost to defeat the coalition forces outside the city in one fell swoop!"
"What do you think? Why don't you share your thoughts?"
Yu Ping said, "General, judging from the current situation, the coalition forces will not continue to fight to the death to attack the city!"
"If we want to cripple them, we have to leave the imperial capital first and fight in the wild. Maybe we will have a chance!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.
Xiao Chuyun nodded and said, "Wait for another two days to see if the coalition forces will continue to attack the city."
"If not, then break out!"
“Then head west to find the right opportunity.”
Yu Ping pointed at the map and said, "General, if we go west, we should have two chances..."
Just when everyone was making plans, a secret letter from the capital arrived.
Everyone became nervous.
The same is true for Xiao Chuyun.
