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

Chapter 475 Dilemma
Chapter 485 Dilemma
The ground began to vibrate, and both the Chu army and the Qi army noticed the approaching soldiers of the Qin army.

Even though they were far apart, Xiang Yu could still feel the murderous aura and strong fighting intent coming from afar.

This is absolutely impossible to have the murderous aura and fighting spirit that the mob should have.Such a rapid march, even the absolutely elite Jiangdong soldiers under his command could maintain such a strict formation.

Could it be that these suddenly arrived not from the Qi army, but from other countries?
Just thinking about it, Xiang Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

There should be no Qin troops stationed within hundreds of miles around. Where did the Qin troops come from?

"General, what's wrong?" Fan Zeng, who rode his horse and followed Xiang Yu, said worriedly when he saw Xiang Yu's color change.

Seeing Qin Jun getting closer, Fan Zeng also smelled a bit of danger.

Xiang Yu shook his head, as if shaking off the lingering anxiety in his heart.

"Father, are there any movements of the Qin army in Xingyang before?"

Fan Zeng shook his head.

Their trip was originally under the nose of the Qin army, so they naturally monitored the garrison in Xingyang.

When they were in full swing, they did not see any movement from Qin Jun.

After being silent for a while, Xiang Yu felt even more uneasy when he saw the black torrent that was getting closer and closer to his army.Lowering his voice, he glanced at Fan Zeng and pondered.

As the chief general, it was impossible for him to tell Fan Zeng directly that this Qin army made him very uneasy.

After all, besides Fan Zeng, besides Xiang Yu at this moment, there were dozens of other generals, large and small, and more than a dozen clan elders from Baiyue barbarians who came with the army.

The more important thing is that this is before the war, and there are 20 soldiers of the Chu army lining up below. If he, as the chief general, is timid before the battle at this time, it will be natural for people to talk too much. Once word spreads, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.

"Yu'er, it's better to be more cautious."

Although Fan Zeng didn't understand military affairs and was more of a manipulator, he still believed in his intuition, just like he had chosen Xiang Yu back then. It is good enough to achieve the present situation under the circumstances.

Although Fa Qi has some dangerous tactics, it must be said that this is a big gamble. If the gamble wins, it will be a great success for Chu State.

But now it seems that Qin Guo already knows their plan.

Xiang Yu now regrets why he didn't find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up camp.Although the current position of the camp is in a concave area, it can only be used for concealment, but it cannot achieve the effect of easy defense.

However, having said that, if the Qin army in front of them is really the elite of the Qin people, then with the countless crossbows equipped by the Qin army, there is probably no camp in the wilderness that they cannot break through.

Although the Chu army is also equipped with a lot of Qin's crossbows, compared to the standard configuration of Qin's army, which is basically one man, the gap is still too large.

Among Xiang Yu's 20-strong army, only [-] Jiangdong soldiers have managed to hold one Qin army's powerful crossbow, including more than [-] large-scale repeating crossbows, which are also in the hands of Jiangdong soldiers.

The rest of the Chu army did not have strong crossbows.But compared to the previous shabby situation where they didn't even have armor or weapons, the Chu army's situation is much better now. At least they can each have one pair of armor and one weapon.Many are also equipped with shields.

Xiang Yu now faces two choices. The first is to make a desperate move to destroy the Qin army, and then free up his hands to destroy the Qi army.

Of course, there is also the direct withdrawal of troops, returning to the other side and returning to Shouchun.

However, judging from the current distance between the two armies and the advancing speed of the Qin army, it is likely that the Qin army will overtake them within a short distance.

Xiang Yu never thought about sticking to the camp.

Xiang Yu is very clear about how many soldiers there are on the other side of the Huaihe River, because basically all the battle plans are made by himself.Standing firm, in the absence of reinforcements, it is better to say that you are courting death.

After all, strictly speaking, the territory under their feet is the territory of the Qin people. If they stick to the enemy's territory, let alone the reinforcements. Even if the Qin army does not attack, as long as they send a steady stream of reinforcements, they can easily defeat dozens of them just by being trapped. Ten thousand troops were trapped to death.

The 20 army consumed a lot of food and grass.

Since the defeat of Xingyang, they have been stockpiling food and grass. Fortunately, the harvest season has just passed. Although several counties such as Kuaiji and Jiujiang have gradually separated from the Great Qin and become the territory of Chu, they have not experienced any major battles.

Although the Great Qin unified the world for more than ten years, except for Guanzhong, which was the foundation of the Great Qin, although the territories of the six countries that were destroyed later belonged to the Great Qin in name, they have never established an effective and complete rule.

Among them are the reasons for the survivors of the Six Kingdoms who constantly intend to restore, and it is also related to the constant pursuit of immortality by the first emperor in his later years.

In the general direction, Da Qin's national policy can be said to be very advanced, but in terms of maintaining the foundation of Da Qin's rule, it lags far behind Da Qin's national policy.

It is also a fundamental reason why, within two years of Hu Haichu's ascension to the throne, Daqin was immediately destroyed by the anti-Qin movement swarming from all over the world.

If Great Qin could establish a complete rule in the land of the original Six Kingdoms and control the place strongly, then even if Hu Hai killed Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie and others, Great Qin would not collapse so quickly .

The failure to establish a strong rule meant that when Wu Rui, Xiang Liang and others rose up against Qin, they basically encountered no decent resistance.Officials from various places changed flags on the city walls and immediately left the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, several counties such as Jiujiang and Kuaiji have basically not experienced war. Although daily production has been affected, the impact is not significant.In the Chu land in the south of the Yangtze River, perhaps due to God's blessing, there were no floods or droughts, so the harvest was pretty good.

Coupled with the food stored by the people he collected, Jiujiang's current food can support him to support so many troops.However, although the state of Chu is not short of food, it only refers to the majority of Chu people.

Those people who were taken into captivity had nothing and lived on the brink of death.

In Xiang Yu's original vision, it only took three days at most to reach the city of Linzi.

Therefore, the food and grass carried by Xiang Yu is only enough to consume the army for three to five days.After all, the Shouchun base camp is not far from here. If you carry a large amount of food and grass, it will have a great impact on the march.

After all, they were marching rapidly this time, and they had to swallow Qi before Qin noticed.

Standing firm, I am afraid that the Qin army does not need to attack at all. It only needs to be surrounded for ten days, and the 20 Chu army basically has few people who can take weapons.

Now, Xiang Yu can't retreat, he can't defend, he can be regarded as really caught in a dilemma.
