The First Assistant Teased Me and Gave Birth To a Cub

   Chapter 731 To Live

   Lord of the country did not disappoint the subjects of the capital.

   The next day, the Jin army organized another group to set up cloud ladders at two gates to attack the city.

  Jiang Zhongxing personally commanded the city wall, and used bows, crossbows, bed crossbows, and trebuchets to repel wave after wave of Jin army attacks.

   At night, Jiang Zhongxing took another risk and sent a small team to attack the camp, burning dozens of Jin army ladders to attack the city, killing more than 100 people.

  The successive victories boosted the morale of the Dachu army for a while, and even the people of the capital were full of confidence.

  The people brought the vegetable oil from their families and sent them to the city, where they collected stones and sharpened the branches for the soldiers guarding the city to use.

   Defending the city, before you know it, the capital has been defending for a month.

   The second prince Wanyanzhang led the Jin army on the east road that surrounded the capital.

   Today, the Jin army suffered a lot of casualties, and the food and forage were also consumed badly.

   Dajin’s expedition this time brought little food and grass, and they all looted all the way. Now they have been besieging the capital for a month, and there has been no progress. The losses of the Jin army are not small.

   This evening, the military intelligence officer came to report again: "General, the divisions of the Qin Kings from all over the Chu country have come to the capital. The fastest army is estimated to arrive within six days."

   Wanyan Zhang became more and more irritable.

   When King Qin's army reaches its size, it will be his army who will be besieged.

   It is hateful that the Dajin West Route Army, who set off at the same time as him, is still blocked by Dachu's army on the bank of the River, and has been unable to come to join him.

   The military intelligence officer continued: "The spies have also heard news that the Supreme Emperor of Great Chu and his concubines are now hiding in Youcheng, a city in the southeast."

   Wanyanzhang's brows suddenly moved, "How far is Youcheng from here?"

   The military intelligence officer said: "More than five hundred miles."

   More than 500 miles away, it takes two days for a quick horse to attack.

   Wanyanzhang narrowed his eyes, "Since the Supreme Emperor of Great Chu has run away, why not run farther?"

The military intelligence officer said: "The subordinates received news that the emperor and his concubines had to travel hard, and they could not walk much in a day. When they arrived at Youcheng, the emperor heard that the capital was guarded, and that the most beloved concubine Chen was sick because of the exhaustion of boats and cars. Now, I will be stationed in Youcheng."

  Wanyanzhang nodded and instructed the messengers, "Call the generals of the various ministries and come to my tent to discuss matters."

   After the messenger left, Wanyan Zhang discussed with General Guo who surrendered from Youzhou.

   The generals came over quickly, and Wanyan Zhang pointed to the map hanging in the tent and said, "Now, the Supreme Emperor of Great Chu is here."

   "It's only more than 500 miles away from the capital. From here, you can bypass several cities on the road and go directly to Youcheng."

   "And the Emperor Taishang traveled, and only brought three thousand palace front troops."

   "As for the soldiers guarding the city, there are only one or two thousand."

   "What is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers guarding the city? I think you all know in your hearts. The only thing that Da Chu can use is the forbidden army in the capital."

   An officer asked cautiously, "The general wants to—"

  Wanyanzhang narrowed his eyes, "Send 3,000 elite light cavalry troops to surprise Youcheng and capture the Emperor Taishang. When the time comes, don't worry about the gates of the capital being closed!"

  The officers below looked at each other and said, "General, I would like to go!"

   "I would like to go!"

   "I would like to go!"

  Wanyanzhang looked around, pointed at a general and said, "Order 3,000 elites, bring two days' worth of dry food, and set off immediately. Within five days, I want to see the Supreme Emperor of Great Chu!"

   "Remember, to live!"

   The general knelt down and placed his right hand on his left chest in salute, "Uda will definitely complete the task."
