Under such circumstances, even the well-trained Chu army has the heart to steal war, and many people are already retreating.

However, the iron cavalry of Qin State did not seem to have such a problem. Instead, a large number of casualties stimulated them to a certain extent, thus launching a more ferocious attack.

Under the ebb and flow, the gap between the two sides suddenly widened. Although Xiang Rong tried hard to stabilize the morale of the army, more and more Chu troops turned around and fled.

It is undoubtedly wrong to make such a decision when facing cavalry, and it will only make you die faster.

The Chu army was defeated on a large scale, while the Qin soldiers were riding on horses, waving their weapons, harvesting lives...

ten days later

Wang Jian repaired a little after defeating Xiang Yan, and then rushed to Shouchun with the rest of the army.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, he handed over the infantry to his generals, while he led more than 3 cavalry forward.

After dozens of days of raiding, they finally arrived at the city of Shouchun.

But he seems to have come too late, because at this time, on the city wall of the capital of Chu State, there is a black flag embroidered with the word "Qin" impressively...

.

Chapter 470: Yingzheng as Emperor?

Qin State sent troops to attack Chu State, but was blocked by Xiang Yan, so Wang Jian decided to divide his troops into two groups. He led most of the troops to fight Wang Jian, and dispatched [-] cavalry to Meng Tian to attack from another route.

Originally, Wang Jian just wanted to use this to put some pressure on Xiang Yan and force the opponent to fight him.

But unexpectedly, Meng Tian's performance was much better than he expected.

He not only fulfilled his expectations, but also conquered cities and lands all the way, winning more than 20 cities successively.

Immediately afterwards, he defeated the 10,000+ Chu army led by Xiang Rong head-on, and wiped out the last force of Chu State.

Xiang Rong, the son of Xiang Yan, also died under the siege of Tie Ying Rui Shi.

After defeating Xiang Rong, only less than [-] of the original [-] cavalry remained, which can be described as a heavy loss.

But in this case, Meng Tian still took the rest of the people to go straight to the capital of Chu State, and captured it in one fell swoop.

Under normal circumstances, these tired soldiers under his command alone would not be able to pose any threat to a heavy city like Shouchun.

But before the King of Chu had handed over all the guards here to Xiang Rong, the defensive force in this city was almost zero at this time.

The only remaining force is some imperial guards in the palace, but for this war, a mere thousand guards cannot play a decisive role.

After learning of Xiang Rong's defeat, the royal family and many ministers were extremely sad and wept bitterly.But Chu Wang Xiong Qi was very calm.

He first arranged for the remaining more than 1000 guards to escort his wife, daughter and young royal family out of Shouchun.

Then all the ministers, maids, servants, etc. were dismissed.

In just one day, the entire palace became empty, only a few dozen people were left unwilling to leave.

And among these people is Chu Wang Xiong Qi.

He sat on the steps outside the palace, looked up at the sky, his face was expressionless, only tears fell from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

Two days later, Meng Tian led his iron cavalry into the palace, and the originally splendid palace was empty.

Xiong Qi had already thought of such an ending on the day when he betrayed Qin, but he was still unwilling to be caught by the Qin army, so he chose to die to save the last bit of face.

Meng Tian ordered his body to be transported to Xianyang and handed over to King Qin.Then the soldiers were asked to evacuate all the valuable and portable things in the palace, and at the same time, many people were sent to find a copper box.

However, a few days passed, and still no clue was found.

Meng Tian frowned. Before the expedition, Qin Wang Yingzheng gave himself and Wang Jian a task, which was to find the copper box in the hands of the Chu royal family.

However, after looking through the palace, there was not even a shadow of a copper box.

"Could it be taken away?"

Meng Tian thought in his heart.

It's a pity that the king of Chu, Xiong Qi, is dead, otherwise he could have asked about this matter from the other party's mouth.

However, coming to the Chu Palace was not fruitless. In addition to a large amount of treasure, he also found a sword.

This sword is named Tianwen, it is extremely sharp and mighty, it ranks first in the sword manual!

Meng Tian intends to dedicate this famous sword to Yingzheng. In his heart, only his own king is entitled to possess this kingly sword.

Outside Shouchun City, Wang Jian looked at the flag of Qin State swaying in the wind on the top of the city, feeling rather complicated.

After learning that Meng Tian had conquered the capital of Chu State, he was sincerely happy for Da Qin, but also couldn't help feeling emotional.

He whispered to himself, "What a Meng Tian, ​​the Meng family has a descendant..."

After saying a word, he entered the city with his troops.

Although in this battle of destroying Chu, both himself and Meng Tian had made great contributions.But according to the usual practice, the person who breaks through the capital of the enemy country is the first person...

A few days later, in the Xianyang Palace of Qin State.

Looking at the battle report from Meng Tian and Wang Jian, King Qin Yingzheng laughed out loud without hiding his joy.

He is very happy at this moment, even happier than when he became King Qin.

The demise of the Chu State means that there is no longer any force on this land that can stop the Qin State.
