The King of East China Sea personally climbed the city and looked at the other side, his heart sank, and he felt a little regretful that he stayed in the Broken Iron City.

The entire sky was occupied by dim tents, and teams of cavalry galloped unscrupulously on the other side. Observing the south bank, some Huns stood on the shore and pointed at the Broken Iron City.

King Donghai felt that he had been discovered and was even aimed by a bow and arrow. Although it was separated by a river, it seemed that it was not safe, so he turned around and asked the accompanying general and hid behind the wall.

"There are really hundreds of thousands?"

"From the number of tents, there are about 70,000 to 100,000 people." A general replied. This was the conclusion drawn by multiple scouts after observing them with their own eyes.

"So many!" The King of Donghai had heard of this number, but was still shocked. When he was in Mayi City, there were 200,000 to 300,000 Chu troops as his backer. He felt that the 100,000 Huns were too few, but now he felt that the "100,000" was as heavy as a mountain. But he didn't want to be too timid and smiled reluctantly: "It's already snowing, and the food is unsustainable. The more Huns, the earlier they retreat, right?"

Several generals nodded, and one of them added: "Of course, the Broken Iron City must be able to defend it."

The truth was harsh. It was difficult for King Donghai to maintain the smile on his face, so he had to turn around and look at the other side, "You have already made a plan to defend the city?"

"Yes, General Chai has two plans: the Huns have been observing the river city, and they may have to cross the river from there. When they cross the river and clear the stones, the beacon tower in the East Mountain can push down the Mu West Expedition and re-block the passage."

"Well, it's a good plan. It should be able to block the Huns for a few days. What about the second plan?"

A general pointed to the west of Liusha City, "After the river is freezing and becoming thicker, the Huns will probably drive straight in there. General Chai plans to set up a surprise soldier in Liusha City to ambush the Huns' vanguard and slash their spirits."

"Okay." King Donghai is not very good at leading troops. As long as the generals have plans, he will feel a little relieved.

Having stood on the city wall for a long time, Donghai King grabbed his cloak and left the city wall. "The city gate must be closed tightly, the city wall must be firm, and don't give the Huns the opportunity to take advantage of."

Back at the general's mansion, a group of noble children were waiting for him. A dozen people, when they saw King Donghai, immediately stepped forward and bowed humbly. With these people, King Donghai became much more comfortable. He immediately guessed their purpose, nodded coldly, and walked into the main hall.

As expected, as soon as the slave who brought tea and water retreated, the more than ten people surrounded the King of Donghai and persuaded him in a verbal manner.

"Stop." King Donghai pointed his finger for a half circle and stopped on the son of Sheng Junhou, "Lu Ji, you say."

There is a reason for the choice of Tokai Neptune. Among these people, Lou Ji has the highest father.

Lou Ji was familiar with Donghai King, so he was not polite. He immediately said, "Let's leave the Broken Iron City, it's still time. The Huns will not be able to cross the river for a while. If we rush the horse, we will enter the customs in less than two days."

The fingers of the East China Sea continued to move, and stopped on one of the nephews of Prime Minister Yin Wuhui, "Yin Xiaoyan'er, what do you say?"

Yin Xiaoyan'er's eyes were not small, but she always smiled and looked small. At this time, she was glaring and almost shouted, "The Broken Iron City cannot be defended! General Zhenbei cannot bring back reinforcements! We cannot sit and wait for death, we have to escape quickly... evacuate quickly!"

"You guys think the same?"

Everyone nodded, and Lou Ji said, "Is it just an isolated city outside the border worthy of guarding? I asked me to withdraw first, and then the army can bring 30,000 Chu troops back to the pass, which is also a great achievement."

King Donghai thought for a while, "What you said makes sense. Let's go and talk to Chai Yue. After all, he is responsible for the military affairs of the city guarding."

"But you are Donghai King, General Zhenbei appointed you to take charge of the overall situation." Everyone persuaded Donghai King, and were very happy and felt relieved.

King Donghai stood up and frowned slightly, "There are nearly five hundred people in the noble camp, and it is impossible for you to retreat. Find more people and go to see Chai Yue together and give him some pressure."

"Yes, everyone wants to withdraw, why just let us stand out?"

Not long after, more than fifty noble children gathered at the General's Mansion, preparing to follow King Donghai to meet Chai Yue. Everyone looked happy. King Donghai was not satisfied, so he said a few more names and asked Lou Ji and others to call him over.

Zhang Yanghao, Xie Ying and Ding Hui came, and they were frightened and looked like earth. They had abandoned King Donghai in Hebianzhai and were worried about revenge.

To their surprise, Tokai Neptune came up with a very enthusiastic and smiled, "At this time, let's not hold grudges, let's be friends."

The three of them were so moved that they were about to cry. They knelt down to confess and were helped up by King Donghai.

The group went to see Chai Yue in a mighty manner, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Chai Yue lives in a city tower in the northwest corner, where he can easily observe the enemy situation. He was discussing the ambush plan of Liusha City with more than a dozen generals and officials. When he heard that King Donghai came to ask for a meeting, his heart skipped a beat. The Chu army in the city was barely stable. If the noble camp took the lead in causing trouble, the army would probably collapse soon. Even General Zhenbei himself could not suppress it.

But refusing to see him was not a solution, so Chai Yue had to let them in. The officials retreated to both sides, and their thoughts were the same: If the nobles wanted to escape, they would not have to take the risk of starting a war. Everyone rushed back to the pass together, and it would depend on who was faster.

More than fifty people walked up to the city tower, with King Donghai there, and everyone stood but did not kneel.

Donghai Wang said: "General Chai, we want to ask you something."

"Please tell me." Chai Yue stood up to greet him, very polite. He could not afford to offend any of these people.

"Why did the Chu army have to guard an isolated city outside the border?"

Chai Yue had already explained to many soldiers. When the King of Donghai asked, he had to say it again: "Although the Broken Iron City is lonely outside the border, it is the city of Great Chu. Since Emperor Wu, Great Chu has maintained a thunderous momentum against the Huns. A house of this city means turning off attack into defense..."

Lou Ji interrupted: "Isn't it also a defensive in the Broken Iron City?"

Chai Yue smiled and said, "That's different. The broken iron city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the surrounding terrain is wide. Once reinforcements arrive, they can immediately turn into defense into attack. If the city is given to the Huns, the Chu army retreats to Shenxiong Pass. Although it is easy to defend, it is difficult to get out of the pass and attack."

"Okay, you defend the city, we..." Lou Ji glanced at King Donghai and hurriedly stepped back. In their circle, identity is more important than anything else, and stealing words is a transgression.

Donghai King nodded, "General Chai said it makes sense. Do you want to set up an ambush in Liusha City?"

"Yes." Chai Yue was confused about the attitude of the East Sea King. "The Huns looked at Guanhe City on the surface. I believe this was a false formation. Within three days, the Huns' army would definitely cross the river from the west. Although Liusha City was broken and still useful, after dusk, I will send a Chu army from the ridge to Liusha City. The Huns on the other side could not see..."

"Enough, you can make a specific plan. I'm here to send you a team of death men."

"A man of death?" Chai Yue looked at the more than fifty noble children who were following him for no reason.

Lou Ji and others also looked at each other and suddenly realized that the "deathful man" refers to himself, and they were all panicked all of a sudden.

King Donghai said seriously: "You people have been consuming the national salary from the day they were born. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using troops for a while. Da Chu raised you generations, can't you get a 'deathful man'?"

Everyone was speechless, not only ashamed, but more shocked. They never thought that such words would be spoken out of Donghai King's mouth.

"Please give the order to General Chai. If necessary, I will go on the battle myself." King Donghai felt a little nervous. If the other party was Han Ruzi or Fang Daye, he would never dare to praise this Haikou. Chai Yue should understand the rules and be a good person.

Chai Yue was also shocked, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It is enough to have these death-killing men rush to Liusha City. The broken iron city needs the King of Donghai to be in charge, and Your Highness cannot fight."

King Donghai nodded majesticly, and said to the stunned children of the nobles: "At this time, you will work hard to make your father and brother."

King Donghai left everyone behind, turned and went downstairs. Chai Yue ordered people to go to the imperial camp to get armor and horses for these people. After this, the generals who did not obey orders had no objection to the ambush plan.

King Donghai punished the noble children who were determined to retreat, and also took revenge on Zhang Yanghao and others who had betrayed him, and was in a good mood.

Back at the general's mansion, Lin Kunshan came over to ask for a meeting. As soon as he entered the room, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The trick of the East Sea has not only taught the timids a lesson, but also stabilized the morale of the army. The East Sea's reputation will be greatly improved."

"Hey, do I need this little reputation?" Donghai King did not need to hide his true ambitions in front of the Qi-seeker. "They don't care about the city and pool of Da Chu, they just want to survive on their own, I care."

Lin Kunshan smiled and said, "The Great Chu has constant internal and external troubles, and it is just in time for descendants of the royal family like Donghai to turn the tide."

King Donghai snorted.

More than two hundred miles apart, the other person also cares about the integrity of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Under the leadership of the chief clerk, Han Ruzi and others came to the Dongcheng Warehouse, but did not find Han Tong, the left general of the Northern Army. After asking, he found out that Han Tong had received some equipment and food and ordered people to send them to the North City Gate. The man had just left not long ago.

Everyone ran to the north city gate again, and when they left this gate, they were inside the gate. The people and vehicles were blocked here. No matter how they shouted, the city gate refused to open.

Han Ruzi asked the chief clerk to climb up the city tower to inform him. After waiting for a while, the chief clerk came down with a confused look on his face and said, "General Zuo asked General Zhenbei to go up alone."

The situation was different, Han Ruzi thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I have to bring a follower."

"This...it should be OK, I'll ask again." The chief clerk hurried up to the city tower, wondering in his heart that the two generals were descendants of the royal family, so why did they have no affection for each other?

Du Chuanyun tightly wore a belt and was about to go up to the city tower with Juanhou. Han Ruzi stopped him, "Stay behind, Chen Tong, go with me."

Meng E nodded. She never spoke in front of outsiders to avoid revealing her identity.

Du Chuanyun was both surprised and disappointed, and did not believe that this ordinary soldier's kung fu would be better than himself.

The chief clerk is back and asks General Zhenbei and his entourage to go upstairs.
