Qin Shi Luo Net People

Chapter 881 Retreat
Occupying the King of Chu was easier than Li Xin thought, and he took it without paying too many casualties. Of course, there were tricks involved.

Li Xin learns without a teacher, breaks the whole into pieces, and some of the soldiers and horses that spread out have mixed into the capital of the Chu Kingdom. Li Xin, who has learned the news, can't sit still. Rather than being played to death by Xiang Yan, it is better to fight Once, it was a big deal to drag the king of Chu to belch.

Perhaps God favored those with courage, and it really made Li Xin succeed, and even captured Chu Wang, who had just succeeded to the throne not long ago.

Most of the ministers in the Chu Kingdom were weak bones without integrity, and they surrendered one after another, and it was easy for him to gain control of the royal city.

The main reason is that the king's capital of Chu State is not strong, which is different from that of Wei State Liang.

Daliang, the king's capital of the Wei State, cost a lot of money to build, and it has been reinforced over and over again over the years. Countries are different.

Chu State has a criminal record.

Whether it is the king of Chu or the king of Chu State.

Back then Zhang Yi deceived the King of Chu to go to Qin as a prisoner with his mouth, not to mention the capital of the capital. His behavior directly led to the general development of Wangcheng.

In a word, the state of Chu is very sick and has not developed well. Even though it has the most land and population, its national strength cannot be improved.

The same is true of King Chu's control over Chu State. This is doomed that Chu State's national strength will not improve, and there are problems from the root.

In addition, the kings of the Chu Kingdom in the past were not good, and the treacherous ministers were in power. If this can develop, there will be ghosts.

In this regard, the six countries are all alike.

Let's not talk about Qin, it is too outrageous.

God Bless Daqin is really not talking about it.

……

Xiang Yan led an army of 40 to launch a fierce attack on the former king's capital, and has been storming for several days. During the period, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Li Xin did not intend to run away. Was wiped out by Xiang Yan.

As the Qin army led by Wang Ben approached Chu, the time left for Xiang Yan became less and less.

At this moment, in the Chu State military camp.

Neither Changping Jun nor Xiang Yan looked very good. No one thought that a Li Xin would cause them such a headache. After spending more than a month, not only did they not wipe out all of them in the territory of Chu State, but they were even occupied by the other party. The capital of the King of Chu, even the King of Chu was captured, which is really a great shame.

In other words, can you play, five packs and one is counter-killed!
Changping Jun was silent for a moment, looked at Xiang Yan and said slowly: "We are running out of time. From Wang Jian's marching route, he wants to join another Qin army and open all the gates of Chu State. It will force us to fight decisively, and with Wang Ben's 10,000+ Qin army, we will not have the advantage."

Mr. Changping said this sentence a little tired, because he has been repeating this sentence all these years, the time is getting tighter and tighter, and this time, although the plan is very good, there are still many mistakes.

In the current situation, they may not be able to attack the capital of the Chu Kingdom, and they may even fall into a passive situation, surrounded by Wang Jian and Wang Ben from the rear. At that time, it is really not sure who will eat who.

"Young master, I am indecisive."

Xiang Yan was silent for a moment, looked at Mr. Changping sitting opposite her, and said in a deep voice.

At the beginning, he had the opportunity to fight to the death of Li Xin's 20 Qin army, but he was not willing. He wanted to wipe out the Qin army led by Li Xin at the lowest price, which delayed the opportunity of the battle. But Xiang Yan can do nothing when the battle is at this stage. There are far fewer decisions to be made.

General Wang Jian of the Qin State had already given up on Li Xin, and made it clear that he was using Li Xin as a bait to expand his achievements in the Chu State.

Now, Wang Jian's goal has been preliminarily achieved, but Xiang Yan's side has not only failed to wipe out the Qin army led by Li Xin, but even the original king has fallen.

Although this matter is a good thing for Lord Changping and Xiang Yan, and it can reduce the difficulty for Xiang Yan to support Lord Changping, but the fact that Li Xin occupied the king's capital of Chu exceeded their expectations. I didn't expect Li Xin to take this step, and really let him do it.

According to the original plan, Wangcheng was the last move to buy time for Xiang Yan to retreat, but now this move was directly dropped by Li Xin ahead of schedule.

"Let's withdraw the troops. Continuing to attack the city now will only give Wang Jian a chance. Once Wang Ben's army arrives, it will be very difficult for us to leave."

Mr. Changping closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes again, and said in a deep voice.

Xiang Yan clenched her fists and said unwillingly, "Master, I want to try again!"

"General Xiang, this is the end of the matter, there is no need to do so. This battle is not the last battle between us and Qin. There is no need to waste too many troops here. Let's save our strength and integrate the domestic troops. Let's live and die with Qin Jun!"

Mr. Changping shook his head, looked at Xiang Yan extremely calmly, and said slowly.

He was naturally unwilling, but he knew how he should choose. In the current situation, if he continued to entangle with Li Xin, he would only be bitten by Wang Jian, and it would be difficult to evacuate at that time, let alone the troops and defense lines inside the Chu State. .

"...According to the son's will!"

Xiang Yan was silent for a moment, sighed, and spoke slowly.

Now it is true that we are not at the point of desperately fighting Qin. There are still some troops in Chu that can be integrated, and we can take this opportunity to completely solve the internal problems of Chu, and then fight Qin in a decisive battle!
Changping Jun said softly: "Don't care about the momentary gains and losses, this is not our last battle with Qin, we still have a chance."

Even if the chances are slim.

……

At the end of the night, the former capital of the Chu Kingdom is still filled with gunpowder smoke, and there are bloodstains and unprocessed corpses everywhere.

Li Xin was leaning against the city wall in armor, drenched in blood, looking extremely embarrassed, but his eyes were extremely calm. Ever since he entered this city, he never thought of getting out alive. He could count them all. Xiang Yan wanted to take them down It was by no means an easy task, as long as he waited for Wang Jian's reinforcements, he could even turn defeat into victory.

If he defends this city, he will not be considered a loser in this battle!

After half a month of offensive and defensive warfare, the Chu army led by Xiang Yan withdrew in the early morning of this day.

Li Xin, who heard the news, also jumped up in disbelief, lying on the city wall, watching the Chu army slowly going away, he couldn't help frowning, he had an urge to lead the army out and bite the opponent , but he held back, he didn't know if the army led by Wang Jian had reached the surrounding area, if not, he rushed out now to give away his head.

"What do you mean? The king of Chu and the king are both gone?!"

Li Xinxin was a little puzzled, and frowned and muttered to himself.

However, Xiang Yan led the army to withdraw, which was at least good news for him. Who would want to die if he was alive. Although the loss in this battle was heavy, capturing the king of Chu alive would be regarded as making up for his mistakes, and he would not be ashamed to return to Qin.

After calming down, Li Xin quickly dispatched scouts to contact Wang Jian, while he continued to guard the royal city with tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, watching over the unjust king of Chu.

The battle seems to be coming to an end.

……

The news from Wang Jian's side is obviously more convenient than Li Xin's. There is no need for him to send information, and the shadow guard has already passed the news to him.

Hearing this news, Wang Jian also stood in front of the sand table, frowned slightly, looked at the abandoned Chu capital on the sand table, and couldn't help but said, "You are really decisive, is this in exchange for time?"

Abandon most of the cities and even the royal city of Chu State, so as to buy time and reserve troops to wait for the opportunity.

Xiang Yan's move is very steady, but it is basically the same as his previous military style, and it is also very similar to Wang Jian. Both of them are commanders who pursue stability, and a commander who likes to take risks is definitely not a qualified commander.

"In that case, I'm not being polite."

Wang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, and he had no intention of chasing after him. He planned to eat the meat sent by the other party before talking.

The state of Qin can afford it, how long can Xiang Yan and Lord Changping procrastinate?
