Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 128

In the dusk, a four-wheel drive carriage drove out of Shouchun City.

On the carriage was Chu's son You, followed by ten Chu soldiers with superb riding skills, and secretly headed for Huainan.

The Qu clan had some changes, and they seemed dissatisfied with the current king of Chu. King You of Chu was worried about the internal turmoil in the Qu clan, so he sent his high-ranking son You to quell the riots of the Qu clan.

But this is just one of Xiang Yan's plans.

A few days later, a shocking news came from the Qin army camp. Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo secretly sneaked into Huainan and Jiangdong, intending to unite the Qu clan and the Jiangdong Yue clan, and jointly support the prince of the royal family as the new King of Chu.

Xiang Yan's main army will also withdraw. The 50-strong army will be divided into two groups and continue to compete with Qin in Huainan, Jiangdong and other places.

After Wang Jian heard the news, his brows were furrowed. If Xiang Yan left, even if the Qin army captured Shouchun City, it would be useless.

Before winter, Xiang Yan began to plan this matter.

Before the beginning of spring, Xiang Yan reported six urgent military reports to Shouchun King City: "The Chu army can hardly withstand the cold winter, and most of the soldiers suffer from frostbite. They need to move to Huainan immediately, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the three armies will be greatly reduced!"

However, King Chu You did not agree to this, and after the failure of the battle with the Qin army, the Chu army lost troops and generals.

Xiang Yan wrote a letter again, hoping to transfer troops to Huainan to appease the army, and unite with the Qu clan to fight against Qin together.

He also sent Xiang Rong to invite Young Master You out of Shouchun City. With the military power in his hands, he would surely be able to support the new king of Chu and restart the confrontation between the Qin army.

After retreating to Huainan in the spring, Xiang Yan's secret plan to reverse the temple structure in one fell swoop could be implemented. Otherwise, he would have to let the old clans in Shouchun City endless internal strife and be trapped in Huaibei.

Xiang Yan naively thought that taking Jiangdong as the foundation and uniting the tribes of the Yue people to set up a king to resist Qin was the only way to rebuild the Chu State.

It's a pity that Xiang Yan's careful plan left the temples in Shouchun City unprepared and ignorant.

King Chu You desperately wanted to squeeze the power of Xiang Yan's army. The ministers in the court also accused Xiang Yan of not doing things well, and even wanted to remove him from military power.

However, King Chuyou resisted all opinions this time and did not remove Xiang Yan's military power. He promised Xiang Yan's army to retreat to Huainan, and at the same time ordered 20 troops to station in the outskirts of Shouchun to fight against Qin with Shouchun as the foundation.

After a royal edict was issued, Xiang Yan shouted: "Wonderful! The plan to build another temple and fight against the Qin Dynasty again has been implemented!"

Now, Xiang Yan only needs to order Chu Jun to delay the time!

Xiang Yan decided to send 45 soldiers to attack the Qin army's barriers. The Qin army would definitely not be able to hold on, and then the [-] main force would retreat secretly.

And Xiang Yan has secretly transported military supplies to Huaibei, preparing to make peace with the Qu family.

It's a pity that Xiang Yan's plan has been investigated by the Black Ice Platform, and Wang Jian has already learned all about it!

After learning everything, Wang Jian immediately held an emergency military meeting.

At the meeting, Wang Jian's old and vigorous voice spread in the camp, and his inspiring words were powerful and resounding.

"The Qin State rose in times of crisis and fought bloody battles for more than a hundred years, resulting in countless casualties."

"The soldiers of the three armies were shrouded in Qin Mage, and died in battle for the unification of the world and the end of 500 years of separatist melee!"

"Today, all the officers and men can show off their skills and lead the tiger and wolf troops into the Chu army's camp."

After all, Wang Jian's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, planning the final decisive battle with the soldiers.

The heavy armored infantry in Chengfu City was led by Li You, who was responsible for guarding the barriers. The rest of the soldiers all went out of the city to fight against the [-] army of the Xiang family, and then confronted the main force in Xiang Yan's barracks.

The next day.

"War drums and horns! The whole army comes out!"

When the war drums and trumpets sounded loudly, and the Qin army rushed out like a mountain falling apart, 30 cavalry rumbled out of the camp, quickly defeated the trapped soldiers, and rushed straight to the Chu army's camp.

Beginning in the early morning, under the successive attacks of the 40 troops of the Qin Army, Xiang Yan's main camp lasted less than three rounds before it began to loosen.

The Qin army was so powerful that it quickly smashed the Chu army's camp like a rain of arrows. The 45 troops of the Chu army were almost strangled by Wang Jian's 30 cavalry.

And Xiang Yan also disappeared on the battlefield, and Wang Jian ordered the soldiers of the three armies to search for his head to no avail.

Wang Jian thought that Xiang Yan had already fled, and the Qin army ignored Xiang Yan's whereabouts, but prepared to attack Shouchun City in one fell swoop.

In the barracks, Wang Jian spread out the maps and told the soldiers about the geography of Chu, dividing Chu into Western Chu, Eastern Chu, and Southern Chu.

When Li Xin's main army destroyed Chu for the first time, it had already incorporated Western Chu into Qin's territory. Therefore, the Qin army divided its 30-strong army into three groups, led by Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Wu, and captured Shou respectively. The core of Chu State, Eastern Chu State, and Southern Chu State around Spring City.

At the same time, Wang Jian met a general who was good at waterways during his march - Zhao Tuo, who would become the King of South Vietnam many years later.

Wang Jian ordered Zhao Tuo to lead the navy to attack the land of Wu and Yue in order to prevent the Yue monarch from causing chaos.

After all the arrangements were completed, 30 Chu troops went deep into the hinterland of the Chu state. At the same time, Wang Ben's troops stationed in Huainan and the Bashu navy troops in the east and west along the river went deep into the hinterland of the Chu state and launched a fierce confrontation with the Chu army.

When the nobles of Chu State in Shouchun City learned of Xiang Yan's defeat, their faces were livid, and they denounced Xiang Yan for being incompetent in the court hall.

King Chuyou was furious, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his beard and hair were all stretched out, as if he was about to eat people, and he said coldly: "Xiang Yan, you are not worthy to be the king of Shangzhu, and the country of Chu will be destroyed by you in 800 years. In your hands!”

King Chu You ordered the city to be reinforced. Little did he know that Li Xin's army, which had been attacking for a long time, had already arrived at Shouchun City.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Han began to attack fiercely. In less than three hours, the densely arranged trebuchets and large repeating crossbows fired violently with a rain of flying rocks and arrows, which destroyed the city wall of Yingshou's north gate.

Twelve catties of rocks and thick crossbow arrows like spears smashed all over the sky like a storm!

The 50 iron cavalry quickly transformed into heavy infantry and launched a new round of fierce attack on Shouchun City. The main force of the [-] Chu army was almost wiped out. Shouchun City had no troops stationed, and it fell within half a day. city.

King Chuyou and Li Yuan jumped into the cauldron and were burned by the fire.

At the same time, 20 Chu troops, led by Mengwu Mengtian and his son, went deep into the counties of Southern Chu and Eastern Chu like bees, and quickly attacked cities and occupied dozens of cities.

From time to time, battle reports spread to Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng was hooked after listening to it, and it turned out that General Wang Jian was mature and stable, and he could destroy Chu in one battle!
At the same time, Qin Wangzheng heard a system prompt.

[Ding, the little childish slave returned from a trip and brought special products, please check with the host! 】
