Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 538
Cao An talked to Liu Cheng a lot, but no matter how much he talked, it did not change Liu Cheng's determination to win Xuzhou.

There are two main reasons for this, one is Liu Cheng's personality.

Liu Cheng is cautious by nature and cannot be said to be suspicious, but it is indeed very difficult to trust others.

Although Cao An gave Liu Cheng a big surprise, he returned Wang Fugui's martial soul and sent Liu Cheng a lot of secret information, which also won Liu Cheng's favor, but Liu Cheng still would not completely trust Cao An.

Liu Cheng didn't see many things with his own eyes, so he wouldn't really believe them.

So from the beginning to the end, he still maintained a certain skeptical attitude towards the matter of Guoqi.

Another most important reason is that Li Longxiang can be regarded as the leader of the Wuhun force, but he didn't learn about the national weapon from Li Longxiang.

Of course, Liu Cheng couldn't say that he doubted Cao An's words because of this, but at least he had an uncertain look.

Unless he can take down Daming, take off Emperor Ming's martial soul, and get information about the national weapon from Ming Emperor's martial soul, Liu Cheng will be able to fully believe in it.

In addition to Liu Cheng's lack of complete confidence in the matter of Guoqi, there is another important reason.

After all, this matter has something to do with Wang Fugui's martial soul, and Liu Cheng naturally wants to be more assertive about Wang Fugui's martial soul.

If Xuzhou dared to attack Wang Fugui's martial spirit, he would naturally destroy the entire Xuzhou.

Of course, by the way, let's test the true strength of these so-called top martial arts forces.

And to understand the true strength of these spirits, is there anything more direct than fighting a battle?

This is obviously gone!
So, after Cao An said so much, it was useless in the end. Liu Cheng, who should fight, still wanted to fight. At most, he was more cautious in his strategic arrangements.

Cao An had just left here, and the battlefield in Xuzhou on Liu Cheng's side started working again after ten days of silence.

There was no declaration of war, no notification, no advance preparation.

With almost no warning, the 30 Yellow Turban Army of Langya Kingdom started again.

But people in Xuzhou don't eat dry food, and Langya Kingdom has fallen. At this time, Qingzhou is not an imaginary enemy to them, but an enemy in the real sense.

Facing the enemy, even though it was an enemy that hadn't made any major moves for ten days, Xuzhou still maintained absolute vigilance.

So it was almost Zhou Kui's army that made a move, and Xuzhou was ready to deal with it.

Xuzhou has its own strategy here. Although Xuzhou still has 50 troops under its command, Xuzhou does not seem to plan to have a head-to-head contest with Liu Cheng.

It's not a big deal, you can't win, you don't have the confidence to fight, but you can't fight like this!
Fighting like this is not good for Xuzhou. Now the whole Xuzhou is running crazily, thinking about the evolution of a war machine.

During the ten days of Liu Cheng's delay, Xuzhou added a total of 50 troops, and this was only the initial effect of the increase.

According to their own troop increase plan, they only need to give them a month, and they can triple the number on this basis.

At that time, the entire Xuzhou will be able to have an army of 200 million. Although it is only a temporary collection of soldiers, it will also be able to explode with impressive strength when cooperating with the generals in Xuzhou.

And this is just one of them. What is more important to Xuzhou is that they are contacting their neighbors and asking them to resist or even kill Liu Cheng.

I don't know what kind of price Xuzhou has paid. Several of his neighbors, even after the battle of Wang Fugui's death, have no intention of making a move on the side of Chu, which has nothing to do with it.

The three forces of Great Chu, Great Tang, and Great Han are all in the making, and Xuzhou will be able to welcome their reinforcements in at most half a month or even less.

In this case, from Xuzhou's point of view, time is completely on their side.

Since the longer and longer the battle is, the more beneficial it is for them, they are naturally willing to pay more for Liu Chengyu.

Ever since, in the face of Zhou Kui's attacking army of 30, Xuzhou launched a comprehensive defensive tactic, intending to do everything possible to delay the time of this war.

However, this tactic failed as soon as it was deployed. They underestimated the assault capability of Zhou Kui's 30 army.

Even Sun Chengzong's 15 troops can't stop Zhou Kui's 30 troops for a day, so what's the use of the comprehensive defense of the cities scattered all over the place?

From the time Zhou Kui's 30 troops left Langya Kingdom, they began a sweeping sweep all the way.

Zhou Kui's 30 army was divided into three groups, and they overwhelmed them with overwhelming momentum. In just one day, they directly took down six cities in Xuzhou.

No city in Xuzhou can withstand the attack of Zhou Kui's army. Of course, this is not because of the strength of the Ming army in Xuzhou.

In terms of strength alone, Daming's strength is not bad, but Zhou Kui's is even more terrifying.

Zhou Kui's three armies, each of which has at least one top general and two first-class generals, these top generals take the lead in every attack.

Don't look at the combination of the seven Dianxiongs that was suppressed by Sun Chengzong in Langye City before. It seems that the so-called top generals and first-class generals are not only worthless, but even useless.

In fact, the top military generals are quite terrifying, especially for a city with only [-] to [-] defenders.

As long as the opponent does not have outstanding generals, it is quite difficult to block the attack of top generals.

And even among these cities, occasionally there are a few more powerful cities with various excellent city defense facilities, which can withstand the attacks of top generals and first-class generals.

But that still doesn't work, Zhou Kui's army still has a big killer.

That is [Shenwei Invincible General]. During this period of time, the two masters behind Liu Cheng have completed the research on the blueprints and have begun to try to produce [Shenwei Invincible General].

Now that a huge breakthrough has been made in the mass production of artillery, Liu Cheng didn't give up those few [Shenwei Invincible Generals] like treasures, and directly gave all six [Shenwei Invincible Generals] to Zhou Kui.

And these six cannons have extremely experienced performance on this battlefield. No matter how strong the city wall is, the six [Shenwei Invincible Generals] will kneel after several rounds of volleys.

With the help of [Shenwei Invincible General], in just six days, Zhou Kui's 30 troops went all the way to Xiapi, which is the administrative center of Daming, the seat of Xuzhou...
