TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1110: Chapter 450 The Fall of Wei Country Chapter 1110: Chapter 450 The Fall of Wei Country Just like Xu State.

At this moment, even in the mere three prefectures of Qingzhou, those flesh-eaters of the imperial court within Chang’an couldn’t grasp the current situation of Dongping and Qingping counties.

They were completely in the dark regarding these two battlefields.

Even the situation within Le’an Prefecture might lead to misjudgment.

In such circumstances where information is incomplete, any decision made that contains even a trace of error,

could lead to an unprecedented defeat on the battlefield of Qingzhou, completely ruining the opponent’s chance to rule over Qingzhou.

Weren’t the previous battles in Liang precisely like this?

Due to the Chu army’s information blockade, both the monarch and ministers of Liang within the city of Chang’an and Xu State outside of the Liang regions were unaware of the current intelligence on both the Liang and Chu armies.

In the end, hastening to send troops without caution, they brewed an unprecedented defeat.

The current adversity faced by Xu State was closely related to last year’s devastating loss of a million troops in the Liang regions.

The importance of battlefield information for a nation, and the losses suffered because of misjudgments.

All these consequences were now fully reflected on Xu State.

“Right now, both the Northern and Southern Route Armies have nearly reached their own limits of expansion, and it is very difficult to break through the defenses organized by Xu Army.”

After understanding the current status of both armies, Lu Yuan quickly realized this.

“Therefore, if we want to turn the situation around, we must find new forces to join and gain an absolute advantage in one of the three battlefronts of Xu State, in order to make a breakthrough.”

The new forces, needless to say, naturally referred to the Southern Route Army which was winding down its campaign on the battlefronts of Liang.

“However, before waiting for the arrival of the Southern Route Army, I can’t just stand by and do nothing; it’s time to take down Xichang City.”

Lu Yuan stepped out of the camp and climbed up the tall watchtower, gazing at the majestic city bathed in a layer of golden light under the early morning sun, with a profound look in his eyes.

Xichang City had been under siege for a full three months.

Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition in spring, not only had Lu Yuan dispatched other routes for breakthroughs and distractions in the Qingzhou rear of Xu State, but he had also not been idle.

Like the city of Xichang in the past three months, the Chu army had carried out numerous assaults to wear it down.

The Central Route Army originally had one and a half million soldiers and two million two hundred thousand captives; later, although five hundred thousand soldiers were dispatched to form the Le’an Camp,

there were still one million soldiers left, along with a vast number of captives and defectors who could be used as expendable cannon fodder.

The main army led by Lu Yuan remained powerful.

So during these three months, he had driven the captives to start clearing the defensive lines around Xichang City, removing more than thirty camps one after another.

The cost paid was just over three hundred thousand lives of captives.

But the gains were tremendous.

Not only were over a hundred thousand Xu soldiers eliminated, but all positions around Xichang City were cleared, leaving it completely isolated, with no external assistance.

By now, Xichang City had been cut off from the outside world for over a month.

The number of defenders inside the city had also dropped to just over three hundred thousand, and even the Inborn Grandmasters had taken opportunities in the past three months to clear the positions outside the city—Lu Yuan’s forces had seized the chance and killed two on the spot.

Currently, only eight Inborns remained in the Xu Army within the city, and the losses were not small.

On the contrary, for the Chu side,

although seven Innates were dispatched to form the Le’an Camp, the Central Route Army still had twenty-three Inborn Grandmasters left.

Against the Xu Country Innates inside the city, nearly thrice the advantage.

In terms of quality, with many Lu Yuan avatars and Lu Yuan himself, the advantage was even greater.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the advantage was four to five times greater, even five to six times.

With such an advantage, having made complete preparations, they were already capable of forcibly taking the city, conquering Xichang.

“Issue my order to all units, starting today, the entire army will be divided into five groups, taking turns to attack Xichang City; I myself will lead the charge.”

As Lu Yuan looked at the assembled generals, he gave the order, “Until Xichang falls, the siege shall not cease a day.

Without distinction between day and night, no rest, we shall give the people of Xu no moment of peace.”

“Yes!”

The many commanders who had long been anticipating this command responded loudly at once.

A true man should strive for accomplishments on the battlefield.

With the unification of the world imminent, why not take this opportunity to earn more merits?

How else in the future could one aspire to high titles, hold power, enjoy all the glory, and provide for one’s descendants?

As for the siege, not only were they unafraid, but they were also rubbing their hands in eagerness, ready to put up a fierce fight.

Amid the rolling drumbeats,

teams of surrendered soldiers, under the coercion of the Chu army, left the camp.

Then, under the signal of drums and bugles, they headed toward Xichang City.

In the city, amidst the urgent sound of bugles, a large number of Xu soldiers also rallied, flooding towards the ramparts.

A brutal slaughter was about to erupt.

…

Just as the bloody siege began at Xichang City in Dongping County,

a great distance away, nearly ten thousand miles off in the western frontier of Chu State, inside Guannei County, another great war had just come to a halt.

In April of this year, just as the Chu State launched another Northern Expedition and all their troops gathered in Xu and Liang,

Wei Country, which had been licking its wounds in Shuofang County for half a year and had regained some vitality, seized the opportunity when Chu was internally depleted and powerless to aid Guannei County,

once again sent a million troops to invade from the north, attempting to retake their western capital, Chang’an.
