In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 593
Chu army camp.

The 40 troops of Qin and Chu were distributed along the mountains and rivers, stretching for dozens of miles, occupying the entire land of the Central Plains, the key city between Yingshui and Surabaya.

Lord Changping rebelled against Qin in the land of Chen. He had already penetrated into the land of Chu, and Li Xin's army, who was pointing at Shou Ying, had to turn back to suppress the rebellion.The Chu army followed closely behind. In the first few days, this was the best chance to defeat the enemy.

It's a pity that the Chu army failed to defeat the 20 army in one fell swoop when the morale of the Qin army was at its lowest point.

Now, the situation between the two armies has fallen into a brief stalemate.

The materials from Guanzhong, Sanchuan and other places were still unable to be delivered, and the focus of the two armies was on Dangjun.

The Qin army is now bleeding, and the food and grass in Dangjun is the key sip of milk. If it is delivered, the Qin army will hold on, thus changing the situation of the entire battlefield, and eventually falling into a longer stalemate.

"In the battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao fought for three years. But Chu is not the same as Zhao back then, so it can't last for such a long time."

In the tent, Xiang Yan sighed.

Back then, Qin and Zhao were evenly matched.However, there is a huge disparity in strength between Qin and Chu today.A long stalemate is not good for Chu.The Qin army can hold on, but the current state of Chu does not have such deep national strength.

The tent was empty, and beside Xiang Yan, there was only Fan Zeng.

"This is not a crime of war. The general does not need to worry too much. This battle has not been seen yet. The key is to look at the battle report from Surabaya."

On the one hand, the Chu army dispatched troops to attack the soldiers of the Qin army who were gathering and hunting behind.On the other side, mobilized troops to go around and destroy the Qin army's grain road.Chu Qi's opponent is the most elite Mengshi cavalry army in Qin State, which has to make the commander of the Chu army worry.

"I heard from Mr. Changping that Meng Tian is one of the young generals that Qin Wangzheng valued the most. The horses under his command are quite brave. Moreover, many of Meng's war horses came from Longxi. Qin Ma is even better."

The horses of the Chu army are generally weaker than those of the Qin army, and only the most elite cavalry can compete with Qin's cavalry.It's just that after King Yan fled east, the channel for the Chu army to purchase military horses has been cut off.

Elite troops like the Tenglong Legion are becoming more and more valuable.

Fan Zeng nodded, also worried.

"Long Qi brought back more than a dozen war horses like that from Chendi. I looked at them, and they were all tall horses, far surpassing our war horses in terms of load and endurance. The national power between Qin and Chu is expanding rapidly. "

"I heard that these war horses came from Zhao Shuang's fiefdom. If I were not in the two countries, I would like to meet this Lin Luhou."

Before Xiang Yan finished speaking, an urgent report came from outside the tent.

"General, our cavalry defeated the Qin army on the bank of Surabaya and burned [-] carts of grain."

"it is good!"

Hearing this news, Xiang Yan stood up and shouted loudly.Even Fan Zeng, who has always been known for his calmness and calmness, was also beaming.

Three hundred carts of grain, six or seven thousand stones of grain.For today's Qin army, it is a huge blow.

The victory or defeat between the two armies is now measured in days.In the past few days, whether the Chu army can find a fighter and launch a counterattack again depends on the Qin army's food and grass?
"Where are they now?"

"I am taking advantage of the victory to go north, and have seized several piers from the Qin army. I am preparing to attack Chengfu and burn the supplies in the warehouse."

Fan Zeng let out a sigh, feeling something was wrong.

"Who is the Qin general who escorted this batch of supplies?"

"Qin General Meng Tian."

Fan Zeng's complexion changed, and he turned his head to look at Xiang Yan, who also showed doubts on his face.As soon as the people who came to complain had retreated, Fan Zeng spoke.

"I heard that although Meng Tian is young, he has been through battles for a long time. It seems that he shouldn't have lost so badly!"

"Judging from Lord Changping's information, Qin General Meng Tian is the future enemy of our Chu State. How could he be so vulnerable?"

Xiang Yan muttered something, but Fan Zeng let out a cry.

"Could it be fraudulent?"

"Three hundred carts of grain, for the current Qin army, can be said to be the key to turning the tide of the battle. Even if Zhao Shuang is willing to throw such a big bait, there is no prey comparable to the value of this bait nearby! He just Aren't you afraid that this news will spread back to the Qin camp, the army will be unstable, and the camp will be bombed?"

"That's the truth, but Zhao Shuang shouldn't have left such a big opening."

"In this way, the Thunder Leopard Army will launch a counterattack against the Qin army to test the waters."

Just as Xiang Yan was about to give the order, Ji Bu, the leader of the Shadow Tiger Legion outside the account, hurried over.Ji Bu, who has always been known for "moving as fast as a mountain", seemed a little flustered at this moment.

Fan Zeng noticed something different and asked.

"General Ji, what's the matter?"

"My friend at the farm sent a message that Zhao Shuang's [-] Yulin Army is coming along the Huai River towards Chudu."

"What did you say!"

Xiang Yan stood up, staring angrily, and all the hair on her body was flaring.

This sounded absurd news, but Xiang Yan didn't doubt the truth of it.

At this time, Fan Zeng's voice sounded.

"Our cavalry army has penetrated deep into the Wei land now. Could it be that the big bait Zhao Shuang dropped was for this? But there is a thousand-mile waterway from Nanzheng land to Huaishui."

This is really dark!
Most of the mobile forces of the Chu army were transferred to the north, entangled with the Qin army, and it was difficult to go south for a while.If the infantry went south to rescue, the action would definitely be inferior to that of the cavalry. Wouldn't it be possible to return to defense in time?

More importantly, it will trigger a series of chain reactions.

"The king must be rescued. If the king is lost, my 20 army will be in danger in an instant."

"But at this time, I don't know if the Qin army still has the strength to fight. If they follow us when we go south, and wait for the opportunity, they will also fall into a deadlock."

If the Chu army goes south to rescue the capital, it may fall into the same situation as the Qin army not long ago.There are 20 Qin troops on the opposite side of them. If they follow behind and do not fight or retreat, it will be quite troublesome to just pester them like this.

"The Qin army lacks food and grass, so it should not be able to mobilize so many troops to attack."

Xiang Yan made a judgment.After all, defending the base and chasing and breaking the enemy are completely two concepts.The Qin army is now short of supplies and morale is low, so it should be impossible to complete a large-scale counterattack.

"It's just that there is a rare opportunity in front of us."

For a while, Xiang Yan had a hard time making a choice.The Qin army's food and grass are not exhausted, and a decisive battle at this time may not be able to win a big victory.But wait for a few days, if the king can't hold it, it will be dangerous.

But in the end, someone still made a choice for Xiang Yan.

"General, the king sent an urgent military message. A large number of warships of the Qin army were found along the Huai River. The Qin army went down the river and captured three cities in a row. Three thousand Qin army vanguard soldiers are now less than 150 miles away from the king's capital. .The king ordered the generals to fight decisively as soon as possible. If there is no opportunity to fight, they will quickly go south to rescue."

Xiang Yan laughed out loud after getting the military report from the capital.

"What a Lin Luhou!"
