Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty

The internal water network of Chu State is densely covered, and Yunmeng Lake connects Xiangshui River to the mountains and rivers in the south of the Lingnan Mountains. If you stick to it, it will take five, ten or even longer for Qin to break through.

Helplessly, there are many clans in the Chu Kingdom, and each clan has its own careful thinking. Although Xiang Yan has the heart to fight for a turnaround, he has more than enough energy, and the previous defeat of Li Xinjun did not make him feel at ease.

Qin State can assemble a large army to repel the Xiongnu in just one winter, and when they regroup their banners and continue to focus on returning to Chu State, then it is not just the [-] soldiers and horses now.

Li Xin is young, but Meng Wu, who has dealt with them for several years, is not, let alone the old general Wang Jian who has not rushed over yet. Qin Guo has the confidence to stalemate here, but he does not have the time.

Their current situation is obviously no longer a quick battle. If they can continue to confront Qin, there is no chance of winning. However, the various clans in the temple have been arguing for days, no matter what the final result is, they will definitely not be led by the Xiang clan. Most of the soldiers and horses in the country fought against the Qin army.

The Xiang family relied on military merits as the foundation of their clan. In the final analysis, they still cannot be compared with the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans. Those three clans are all branches of the Chu royal family. Zhuo Ran, there is still no chance to speak in the temple.

Even if the current King of Chu was brought back to Chu by himself from Qin, after he lost his opponent, that person immediately became close to the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans.

In the tradition of the Chu State, the Zhao family was in charge of Yin and governed state affairs, the Qu family lived in Moao, and was in charge of the military and political affairs of the royal family, the Jing family lived in Da Sima, and was in charge of defense and military affairs of the whole country, and the Xiang family had only soldiers and horses in their hands, and was in charge of the imperial court. But it has never been in a high position.

For the king of Chu, the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans who are blood related to him are more trustworthy. The Xiang clan can lead the army in times of chaos. Turn around and stay away from them.

The soldiers of the Xiang family are powerful, and the eight thousand soldiers from the east of the river were amazing when they put down the rebellion of the Yue people. Even the king of Chu could easily abolish the establishment. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him being the one who was established, but What if Xiangshi wants to support others again?

Knowing what Lord Changping was thinking, Xiang Yan was so angry that she couldn't even vent her anger, but she couldn't. The ministers of the aristocratic families who maintained their dignified status in the court were ignorant of military conditions and the art of war, but thought that everything was on their hands. In control, he insisted on taking care of military affairs, even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything about it.

Huaibei must be the basis for resisting Qin. As long as Huaibei is defended, the people of Qin will not be able to go deep into the state of Chu. The current state of Qin is beyond the reach of the state of Qin decades ago. Qin, who dared to fight back, could be stopped by 20 soldiers who did not obey military orders?

He worked hard to keep the Qin people out, but people behind him kept saying that the Xiang family wanted to rebel against Chu, and the troops that should be sent have not been seen yet, and even the food and grass have to be urged over and over again to be in place. In this way, why did he bring all the [-] disciples who belonged to the Prime Minister into the army.

There are tens of thousands of private soldiers from various ethnic groups in Chu State, and each ethnic group will provide excellent weapons, armor and food to support those young and strong. If not, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Chu State.

Sufficient food and grass, well-armored private soldiers, the actual combat effectiveness is stronger than the army directly under the king of Chu, Xiang Yan organized 20 Xiang's children in the fief into the army, which is enough to turn the originally chaotic [-] army into a force capable of fighting army.

As for those clans who stayed in Shouchun and never forgot to stab a knife in the back, Xiang Yan is too lazy to care about it. If the Xiang family wants to rebel against Chu, isn't it a good opportunity for them to go south with the Qin army? Why bother to resist as desperately as now ?

The royal family is still scheming in the face of national calamity, what can he do, if not for the Xiang family who have been the generals of Chu for generations, he really wishes to directly rebel against Chu as they arranged.

He wholeheartedly wanted to keep the state of Chu, but in the end, not only would it be of no help, but it might lead to the destruction of the family. If the king of Chu continued to listen to what the three clans said, it was hard to guarantee that he would not come up with other ideas.

No matter how the situation changes, Xiang Yan will always maintain his final sobriety. He is very clear about the strength of the Qin army. It is impossible to fundamentally defeat the Qin army. Even if the Qin army is dragged to the north now, he can't let go Come to war.

It seems that he has a lot of soldiers and horses, but only the 20 soldiers can be entrusted with important tasks. It looks like an army of [-], which is actually worse than the Qin army.

The safest way now is to avoid the main force of the Qin army and find the right opportunity to surprise the defenders of the Qin army on both wings. This way, there is still some chance of winning. If they are lucky enough, they may be able to kill several generals of the Qin army.

In the vast and deep mountains, nearly ten thousand Chu soldiers dressed in light armor quickly changed their positions. The iron armor and rhinoceros armor of the soldiers of Chu State are light and sharp, and they can bear the reputation of being as fast as the wind.

Before Yan Zhi led his troops out, he asked someone to deliver a letter to General Mengwu, and carefully checked what was wrong with the Chu camp. Sending so many soldiers and horses to Nanjun, taking risks like this is not something Xiang Yan can do. .

Looking at the forest in front of him, Yan Zhi got off his horse and signaled everyone to be more vigilant. Jiang Yan had been out for so long and hadn't returned, so he must be entangled by someone. I hope nothing happened now.

Noticing the chaotic footprints not far away, Yan Zhi frowned, and the hand holding the knife deepened a bit, "Soushan."

Knowing that the situation nearby was not right, he naturally wouldn't just bring a few people out. Realizing that they might fight the Chu army here, Yan Zhi brought out half of the soldiers and horses in the battalion.

In the mountains and forests, there were only a few people left around Jiang Yan, who was in a mess. He thought that it was only the Chu army that entered Nanjun at this time, but he didn't expect it to be the most elite part of Xiang Yan's subordinates.

Although Cang Yun can fight a hundred with one, but the soldiers he brought out today are all ordinary soldiers, they are at a disadvantage against the Chu soldiers who are elusive and sneaky.

The bloodstains from the arrows on his arm, Jiang Yan's eyes were full of hostility. He hadn't been pressed and beaten like this for a long time. No wonder it made Li Xin suffer so much. Xiang Yan's use of troops is really extraordinary.

That's right, it wasn't Xiang Yan's subordinates who entered Nanjun, but Xiang Yan himself.

Taking the risk and personally leading the troops to Nanjun, Xiang Yan didn't want to cause too much damage to the Qin army, as long as they defeated the Chu army in Pingyu, it was too late for Qin to send troops to rescue, and the soldiers were very fast. His opportunity was at hand.

Knowing the tenacity of the Qin people in combat, Xiang Yan knew that even if they won a few battles, the Qin people would not retreat, but the people in Shouchun were different. Every day, they dreamed that they would be able to take Nanyang Nanjun away like a broken bamboo. I don't even think about what those Qin people who are like wolves and tigers do.

Could it be so easy to take away the land already in the hands of the Qin people?

Xiang Yan didn't have such a lofty goal. He only wanted to wipe out the Qin army that was led to Nanjun. As long as he wins this time, those who speak loudly in the court will have no reason to deduct their military pay.

The food and grass of the fiefdom alone are far from enough to supply 20 troops. To feed such a large army, he must have the support of the royal family.

Thinking of the current situation, and thinking about the many promises he got when he brought Lord Changping back to Chu from Yingdu, Xiang Yan wished he could go back to that time and stab himself to death.

If he had known that the king of Chu was such a virtuous person, he might as well stand on his own to preserve the state of Chu, at least it would not become the current situation of being controlled by others.

But in any case, things have come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time.

He doesn't seek a big victory, but only seeks to be cautious in the war so that he can gain room for another opportunity to fight again. After the threat of Qin is gone, he will go back and have a good talk with those ungrateful guys.

Hope he can wait until then.

The country of Chu is mountainous, and the terrain of Nanjun is not a hindrance to them, but it can bring them a lot of convenience. Now they are just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After all, Yan Zhi wasn't really young and energetic, if he knew something was wrong in the mountain and rushed in blankly, that was not bravery, but a fool.

The soldiers with good skills were sent to check the situation in the mountains. Yan Zhi, who was standing in the front with a blank face, was wearing a black armor, showing a chill. He had already got the secret signal from Jiang Yan to stay nearby, and knew that the general of the Chu army in the mountains was Xiang Yan.

Going to Nanjun personally only for the [-] soldiers in his hands, this man really thinks highly of him.

If they can leave a code, it means that Jiang Yan is still fine, and the mountains are full of dangers. Even if they search the mountains for a short time, they can't find where they are, but it is not that difficult to find the traces of the Chu army.

Xiang Yan didn't bring him here to see the scenery.

The rustling of military flags behind them silenced the black-armored warriors who surrounded the foot of the mountain. As soon as the order from the front came out, they could tear to pieces those who were hiding in the mountain and wanted to sneak attack.

This way the Chu army was good at fighting in the mountains, Jiang Yan spent a lot of effort and finally avoided their pursuit and headed towards the camp. A faint black flag was floating in the air, and the commander had already led the troops out of the camp. Once in the mountains, they have no advantage.

Cangyun Heavy Armor Shield Knife is not suitable for fighting in this kind of terrain.

What he could think of, the commander would certainly not fail to think of, squinting his eyes to look at the situation around him, Jiang Yan quickened his pace, found the way he came, and left quickly.

He came out with nearly fifty soldiers, and these were the only ones left under the unpredictable back arrows. Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Knowing Xiang Yan's intentions, they would never let them go back.

Even if the mountains here are very suitable for fleeing, so what, as long as they surround the place, how many days can the Chu army survive without enough food and grass?

Soon seeing Commander Yan, who was full of evil spirits in front of the army, Jiang Yan's eyes dimmed, and he said to the soldiers coming this way to look after the people behind, and then went directly to that side.

Putting the shield in front of him, looking at Jiang Yan who was in a mess, Yan Zhi's forehead twitched and squeezed the shield tightly, "What's going on in the mountains?"

"Xiang Yan led nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses into the mountain suddenly. I don't know why now, but one thing is certain, they want to lead us to the mountain." Jiang Yan's tone was extremely firm, just when he was about to say something , Suddenly there was the sound of neat horseshoes not far away.

Nearly a thousand soldiers in light armor from the Chu State suddenly appeared from the side of the mountain, seeming to have forgotten the situation where they were confronting each other. The leader, who only showed a pair of eyes, looked up and down at Yan Zhi who was standing in front, and then stood not far from them. stop.

"Long Xiu from the Long family, met Commander Yan!"
