It must be said that Zhao Run was quite shocked when he learned from the cavalry sent by Lu Mu two hours ago that Daliang was still in the hands of his Wei state.

You know, in order to prevent the rangers and militiamen who had no combat experience in the team from falling behind, Zhao Run could only choose to march slowly - it was not that he ignored the safety of Daliang City, but that most of the soldiers in the army could not keep up with the Imperial Guards.

Given the speed, once a rush march is ordered, there may only be a handful of 10,000 to 20,000 confederate soldiers by the time the Imperial Guard reaches Daliang.

This small amount of troops is simply not enough to deter the coalition forces of various countries.

Therefore, when he decided to move the army forward slowly, Zhao Run was actually mentally prepared for the fall of Daliang. Therefore, when Lu Mu sent someone to tell him that Daliang was still in the hands of Wei, Zhao Run was pleasantly surprised.

However, besides being pleasantly surprised, he also had an ominous premonition: What kind of heavy price did Daliang pay to be able to hold on to the city in the hands of 1.5 million coalition forces from various countries?

The king's chariot moved forward slowly.

The king of Wei, Zhao Run, stood on the king's chariot with a sharp sword, looking up at the nearby Daliang City.

He looked at the Wei flag still flying on the city wall, at the city wall that was almost completely stained with red blood, and at the Chu soldiers lying dead outside the city. His initial surprise and excitement gradually turned cold.

The allied forces of various countries, which had an absolute superiority in military strength, left the bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers outside the west wall of Daliang. One can imagine the brutality of this battle and the casualties of soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Report!"

Several cavalrymen quickly came from the south and came to the king's chariot to report: "Your Majesty, in the south of Daliang City, the coalition forces of various countries have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are suspected of intending to attack our army."

"..."

Zhao Run's expression did not change when he heard this, obviously he had expected this.

He immediately ordered: "The whole army goes south!"

With an order, fifty thousand Luoyang Imperial Guards were used as the central army, and hundreds of thousands of Wei troops under his command marched straight to the south, as if they were going to fight a decisive battle with the allied forces of other countries today.

Seeing this scene, Li Lin, Zhou Ji, Jin Ju, Chu Shuli and others on the Daliang City Wall were all shocked.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty lead the army into the city?"

"Yes!...Looking at the movements of His Majesty's army, it seems that he is going to have a decisive battle with the coalition forces of various countries. This...this..."

They can't figure it out.

However, Zhao Run had his own thoughts.

He felt that since the coalition forces of various countries did not attack Daliang today, they were obviously actively preparing for war and waiting for his arrival.

Once he shows weakness at this time, he will inevitably be attacked by the coalition forces of all countries. On the contrary, if the Wei army takes the initiative to accept the battle, it may cause the coalition forces of all countries to hesitate. After all, the troops he brings this time will not

Not just two hundred thousand, but a full three hundred thousand.

What's more important is that among the 300,000 horses, there are more than 20,000 cavalry.

Regardless of the fact that 300,000 people are fighting against 1.5 million troops from the coalition forces of various countries, the chance of winning seems slim. But in fact, once the two armies start a decisive battle, neither Wei nor the coalition forces will be able to command their troops well.

Army - because there are too many troops, too many troops will inevitably lead to confusion in command.

And when both sides are in chaos, Wei's more than 20,000 cavalry can play a decisive role and even reverse the military disadvantage.

In a war, victory or defeat is never determined based on the number of people alone.

About half an hour later, the army led by Wei Wang Zhao Run turned around the southwest corner of Daliang City and arrived at the southern suburbs of Daliang, where they encountered the allied forces of various countries.

It has to be said that at this moment, the armies of both sides are so vast that they can't be seen to either side. At first glance, it is actually impossible to tell which side has more people.

"Gu..."

On the south wall of Daliang City, Chu Shuli, Li Lin, Zhou Ji, Jin Ju and others all looked nervous and looked worriedly outside the city, not even daring to breathe.

They were afraid that the coalition forces of various countries would suddenly launch an offensive. After all, in their opinion, the reinforcements led by the Wei monarch Zhao Run had just arrived in Daliang, and the morale and physical strength of the soldiers should have been reduced. In fact, they should not compete with the coalition forces of various countries who had the advantage.

relatively.

In fact, Lord Chu Shui also thinks so.

"He actually took the initiative to challenge..."

Chu Shuijun was filled with surprise when he saw hundreds of thousands of Wei troops gathering on the opposite side, waiting with seriousness.

In fact, Lord Shui of Chu discussed with the generals of other countries for a long time on the matter of dealing with King Zhao Run of Wei.

At first, someone suggested besieging the city for reinforcements, but it was rejected by Tian Dan of Qi State.

The reason is very simple, because even if the coalition forces of various countries have 1.5 million people and are divided into four armies to surround Daliang, each army will only have about 300,000 to 400,000 people. According to the news sent by Xiao Zuo, Wei Wang Zhao Run this time

The number of troops recruited is about 300,000. Therefore, once Wei King Zhao Run suddenly attacks the coalition forces of all countries in one direction, the coalition forces of all countries in that direction may not be able to stop him.

Unless the coalition forces of various countries can successfully ambush the army of Wei King Zhao Run, this is the essence of the real siege and reinforcement.

But the problem is that King Zhao Run of Wei went on an expedition at the age of fourteen and swept through the Central Plains without a single defeat for more than ten or twenty years. Would he not understand the strategy of "siege the city and mobilize reinforcements"? Or would he be ambushed by the coalition forces of various countries?

Therefore, Chu Shuijun finally decided to act according to the opportunity: if Zhao Run's army and its sergeants were exhausted and eager to enter the city, he would immediately attack with all his strength and take the opportunity to defeat Zhao Run; if the Wei army still had enough

Physical strength, then let's wait and see first.

For this reason, Chu Shuijun gathered an army and came to Daliang City, trying to put pressure on Zhao Run.

But what he didn't expect was that Wei Wang Zhao Run's reaction was more intense than he expected, and he actually took the initiative to greet him, as if he was going to have a decisive battle with the coalition forces of other countries today.

This made Chu Shuijun very puzzled: So what support does Zhao Run have?

For an entire incense stick, no one acted rashly among the 300,000 Wei troops and hundreds of thousands of allied troops from other countries.

"You said that Zhao Run took the initiative to accept the challenge. Is there any hidden meaning?"

At the main position of the allied forces of various countries, Chu Shuijun asked the generals of Tian Dan, Xiang Mo, Xiang Kuan, Ji Wu, Huan Hu and other countries who were nearby.

"This should be a deterrent."

Qi Jiangtian said solemnly: "He must have guessed that our army would take the opportunity to attack when he led his army into the city. Therefore, he refused to expose his flaws and let our army succeed..."

"Is he not worried about defeat at all?" Chu Shuijun frowned and asked, "Does he have some support to defeat our army?"

"I'm afraid that's not the case." Tian Dan shook his head and said: "Based on Tian's understanding of Zhao Run, he will only become more radical when he is weak. On the contrary, if he has any support in his hands, he will

Instead, he will choose to show weakness... At this moment, watching him compete with our army, you can guess that he is not very sure about this battle, but he knows very well that he cannot show weakness at this moment, so he takes the initiative to fight and forces our army to face difficulties.

Retreat and look for another opportunity..."

Chu Shuijun was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said: "General Tian, ​​you mean that Zhao Run is just being mysterious?"

"Well..."

Tian Dan hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "Before I have verified the strength of this Wei army, Tian does not dare to say the outcome. I can only say that our army has a greater chance of winning today, but... the battlefield is changing rapidly.

, I’m not completely sure either.”

Chu Shuijun nodded when he heard this, looked at the Wei army opposite and chuckled: "Then let's try the strength of this Wei army..."

After that, he ordered his troops to prepare for battle.

Seeing the changes in the formation of the coalition forces, King Zhao Run of Wei immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.

Seeing the two armies setting up battle formations on the southern outskirts of Daliang City, as if a decisive battle was about to begin today, the generals on the Daliang City Wall subconsciously held their breath in shock.
