Xiang Tai was so close that he just heard the whisper. He could not help but feel sad. He watched the fire outside the city. It was just that so many people had died. In the end, the enemy troops had to collect the corpses and burn them. He was so sad.

Xiang taiqiang cheered up and said, "although our army suffered huge casualties in this battle, it was not completely defeated. There are still 300000 cavalry in the whole army..."

He said that he could not go on.

There are a lot of 300 000 cavalry, but it is not enough to look at them in front of the enemy. Now the gap has been reversed.

"At present, there is another way. The main force of the enemy is here, the first battlefield, and there is a second battlefield on the other side of the state of Yan..."

He couldn't go on.

At the beginning of the attack, they chose three routes: one was the main battlefield, Zhao's eastern province; the other was Yan's side; the third was Qi's Navy's attack from nanshawan.

The third front had already died prematurely. Qi was defeated and the country was in turmoil.

After that, he placed his hope in the state of Yan.

If it is successful, it will be able to attack Zhao as a springboard.

But the war here is not going well.

At first, under the design of Murong Zhao, the emperor of Yan, there was a great loss. Moreover, Wang Kang sent 300000 troops there. The two sides joined and stood firm. They were in a stalemate. Chu wanted to hold down the troops there, while Wang Kang wanted to hold down Chu and share the pressure of the main battlefield.

So there's no way to move.

In other words, they can only rely on themselves!

As for foreign aid, don't think about it for the moment.

A million troops have just arrived. How can there be so many reinforcements?

Xiang Tai thought, more anxious.

Then his eyes flashed.

"By the way, we still have a complete corps!"

Xiang Tai said, "there is also Xiang Zhi, the king of Duan. He has more than 200000 people..."

Before the war, they were suspicious of Duan Wang and made a lot of trouble. Xiang Zhi was so angry that he didn't wait for reinforcements. After the talks, he left Changning and returned to Beiwang City, saying that he wanted to go back to Fengguo directly. Now he should not go back.

Just did not expect, because of such contradictions, and to save a new force for them.

Xiang Zhi did not take part in the war, and his army is still intact.

At the beginning, because of the arrival of millions of reinforcements, they didn't look up to Xiang Zhi, and they didn't want to think about it. Now, at this juncture, they still have to need others. What a shame

What tone should I use?

Xiang Tai thought that Duanwang should take the overall situation into consideration!

"I will personally write to Duanwang and ask him to lead the Department to support us. When he arrives, we will break through and join the two sides!"

Then Dugu Xinshen spoke.

His voice is still hoarse, but his mood has returned to normal.

Four days of excessive time, so that he has accepted this reality.

"Break through?"

Xiang Tai frowned.

To break through the encirclement means to give up Changning City, in other words, to give up hengguo. As hengwang, he naturally can't accept

Duguxin said: "after a great defeat, our morale is poor. We no longer have the ability to fight the enemy head-on..."

"That can stick to Changning!"

Xiang Tai said, "Changning is the gateway to the west of Chu. Once it's broken, the enemy can drive straight in until the state of Ping and Jin. This opening can't be opened!"

He strongly opposes, no matter from hengguo itself, or from the overall situation, can not retreat!

He is ready to hold fast and fight a protracted war with the enemy to stabilize the situation!

"What you said is true, but have you ever thought that Changning will become a lonely city when we are defeated and the surrounding areas are empty. I'm afraid there will be no way back then."

Duguxin said in a low voice, "how long do you think Changning City can last?"

"The enemy's cards are out. It is known that they have a weapon that can launch air strikes. Do you think Changning City wall can block it?"

This question.

Let Xiang Tai suddenly a Zheng.

If the enemy really launched an air raid and carried out a large-scale bombing of Changning City, how can they stick to it? I'm afraid Changning will break free!

"In addition, I have read the detailed battle report of Gaoyi city. The enemy broke the city one day. At that time, they used a kind of artillery weapon!"

Dugu Xin said in a deep voice: "the cave cracked the stone city, and the sound shocked dozens of miles. In this war, this kind of weapon was not seen..."

Xiang Tai was stunned again.

He has been paying close attention to this aspect of intelligence, how can he not know this kind of siege weapon, but because of the defeat, he was confused and forgot!

So it seems that Changning City is really hard to hold

"We should be determined, but we should be disorganized."

Duguxin said in a low voice: "at this time, we can only bear the pain and give up Changning and hengguo..."

"Shangzhu state?"

Xiang Tai's face is ugly. This choice is too hard for him.Hengguo was his vassal state. How could he abandon it?

"It's meaningless to stick to it. Our retreat is temporary. We need time to recover and get back on our feet!"

"After that?"

Xiang Tai asked: "what can I do if I withdraw? Can the imperial court allocate reinforcements? "

"I don't think so."

"Here it is."

Xiang Tai said: "without soldiers, how can we win?"

"And the soldiers."

Duguxin said: "we still have the scattered soldiers!"

"No way!"

Xiang Tai, as the king of the vassals, is very clear.

"During the war of Qi and Chu, we faced the encirclement and suppression of the six countries. At that time, we used a large number of scattered troops. After a long war, the people were displaced, and the resentment was deep. Do you know? The enemy captured Gaoyi, wantonly belittled our country and won the hearts of the people! "

Xiang Tai said: "there are not many people willing to join the army. If we force conscription, I'm afraid there will be a big problem!"

"Is there any other way?"

Duguxin asked.

Xiang Tai is speechless. At the moment, he is in a state of great confusion

After a while, he asked, "these things are absolutely impossible. How can we report them to the imperial court?"

"I'll report it."

Dugu Xin said: "the order of conscription should be presided over by the imperial court, but..."

"Just what?"

Duguxin didn't speak. He remembered the affairs of the central government.

When he left, his Majesty gave him a message that when he won and returned to the imperial court, the event of establishing the queen would be held.

He made all kinds of remonstrations on this matter, but to no avail.

When the supreme leader entered the court, his Majesty was bewildered by the enchantress and began to become decadent

Now, we are facing a big defeat!

It's really an eventful time!

"Shangzhu state?"

"Oh."

Dugu Xin came back and said, "it's settled. I'll write to Duan Wang immediately and ask him to help. He will listen to me. We'll be ready for him. When he comes, the two sides will meet and start to break through..."

"We don't have much time. The enemy won a big victory. The morale is high. We can't give him another chance and we can't afford to lose..."

Xiang Tai didn't speak. Now his mind is very confused.

It's really a difficult decision to let him give up Changning and hengguo. What should these people do?
