Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 470
Chapter 480
The 30 army, after tossing around in the middle of the night, when all the Chu troops had crossed the Huai River, the sky was already dark.

At this time, Tian Wencai, who was far away in Linzi, had just gotten up.

After the army crossed the river, Xiang Yu, Wu Rui, Song Yi and other senior generals followed closely and crossed the Huai River.

Now the remaining army of Chu State is only the [-] troops around Shouchun, and all of these troops were handed over to Xiang Bo under the command of Xiang Yu.

All the troops crossed the river, and it was extremely smooth, which made Xiang Yu completely let go of a heart that had been hanging.

After all, there are 20 Qin troops on the north bank of the Huaihe River. If the Qin army finds that the Chu army is crossing the river and intercepts them halfway, the consequences can be imagined.

On a bright day, only an hour after Xiang Yu conquered Donghai City, he urged the army to move forward for less than [-] miles, and ordered to find a hidden place to set up camp, so that the army could rest well.

It is still more than [-] miles away from the easternmost stronghold of the Qin Army. Hundreds of thousands of troops marching during the day will inevitably be spotted by the Qin Army's scouts.

So Xiang Yu still decided to let the army rest during the day, wait until dark and hurry on the road, and attack the camp directly tomorrow morning.As long as a large camp of the Qi army is defeated first, the army will surely be able to fall with one fell swoop with the momentum of a great victory.

But Xiang Yu didn't know that while he was leading his army to attack Qi, Zhang Han, who was stationed in Ba County, suddenly led his army down the river and approached Changsha County directly.

When the Chu army conquered Donghai City, Zhang Han led his army directly to Yiling. Xiang Bo himself had no military talent. The reason why Xiang Liang sent Xiang Bo to Jiujiang to take charge was not only to trust him, but also to watch. Live the [-] "people's troops" who were transferred to garrison.

It's a pity that he didn't know that his good uncle had colluded with Qin Guo a long time ago.

Now that the Qin army is going south, it directly gives him the best chance to serve him.

Moreover, the intelligence of the Chu army has also been blocked. Although the Chu army had encountered and fought with heavy cavalry in Chengwu before, this did not attract enough attention from Xiang Yu.So Xiang Yu took it for granted that what he met was the heavily armored soldiers who used to appear on the battlefield of the Qin army to attack fortified positions, even though the heavily armored soldiers had all changed to such hideous weapons.

In the past, the heavily armored soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty wore bronze armor. Obviously, the hardness and impact resistance of bronze could not be compared with refined iron.

At the same time, Xiang Yu believed that it was impossible for Qin to place heavy troops in the Bashu area, so he did not pay enough attention to the Qin army on the west road.

So on the first day when he came to Jiujiang City, Xiang Bo accepted the beautiful concubine sent by the prefect. With a beautiful woman to accompany him, he didn't care what he was mainly doing.

The general is like this, not to mention the soldiers and generals below who are just a mob.

According to Xiang Bo's instructions, Uncle Xiang ordered the scouts to explore a radius of [-] li, but the scouts who went out directly reduced the range by more than half.

Some scouts didn't even detect the distance of ten miles.When I left the city, I didn't know where I went to drink and hug the beauty.

If this is the case in Jiujiang, the situation in Changsha can be imagined.

When Xiang Bo, who was sleeping with his new concubine in his arms, received a report from his generals about the disappearance of the Qin army, Zhang Han's vanguard had already approached less than ten miles away from Changsha City.

This was not detected by the scouts. The scouts who went out to investigate were all slaughtered by the Qin army's scouts.

Tens of thousands of troops marched forward, and it was still daytime, so it was impossible to hide their whereabouts, and Zhang Hanzhong had no intention of hiding their whereabouts.

The scouts of the Chu army who were captured, before asking, already told the current strength of the Chu State, who is the main general, and even the fact that the main general Xiang Bo took a concubine to drink and have fun in the city every day. come out.

Originally Xiang Bo was in collusion with the Qin State, and Zhang Han had communicated with His Majesty the Emperor long before he set off. Seeing that he was so slack now, he had no worries about the expedition.

How could a hundred thousand mobs stop the fifty thousand elite soldiers that the emperor had spent countless efforts to build up?
When Xiang Bo got up from Wenrou Township, [-] Qin troops had already arrived at the city of Changsha.

The entire siege formation was in order, taking slow and powerful steps, like wild beasts, approaching the already trembling Changsha City.The dark, clear armor and sharp blades of tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shone coldly in the sun.

Before the battle, the Chu army guarding the city just saw the overwhelming momentum of the Qin army under the city wall, and some of their legs were already weak, and some even felt that they could not stand up.

"What should I do? What should I do!" Changsha prefect murmured in a distraught voice.

Hearing the whispers from the city lord, the surrounding soldiers were really frightened by the aura of the Qin army, and the contempt flashed away in their eyes.

"My lord, at the end of the day, the Qin army at the bottom of the city is at most 5 to [-], but now there are [-] troops in the city. We have a strong city to guard it. There are countless kerosene, rolling stones and trees in the city. The Qin people want to capture Changsha like a dream. However, the last general has ordered someone to report to Master Xiang who is in Jiujiang City. As long as we hold on, the main force will rush to Changsha. There are [-] people, and we can recruit all of these people to go up to the city and stand firm, so Changsha will be safe and sound."

This was said not only to the city lord, but also to the other Chu soldiers on the city wall who also trembled after seeing the Qin army's strict lineup.

He sensitively discovered that not only the city lord was almost paralyzed on the city wall, but the rest of the soldiers who had been standing on the city wall idly had a tendency to be frightened by the momentum of the Qin army when they saw the Qin army pressing down on them.

He knew very well that at this time, the morale of the soldiers defending the city must be raised, otherwise the Qin army would be able to reach the top of the city with only one wave of attacks.

If Changsha City is lost, the belly of Chu State will be directly exposed to the sharp edge of Qin Army.

Now that the general is leading the main force to attack Qi State, the entire territory of Chu State is empty of troops, let alone tens of thousands of Qin troops, even if it is less, it may hurt Chu State.

He knew very well that if the city lord did not stand up at this time, it would be difficult for the soldiers in the city to condense into fighting spirit. In this case, once the elite Qin army attacked the city, the Chu army in the city would inevitably fall apart.

"But... can we win?"

"I don't know if you can win or not, but if you don't try, you will definitely lose. My lord, please don't think too much, fight to the death!"
