The Jagged Empire of Daqin

He's gone too!

For a long time, the Qin army has been a nightmare in the eyes of all countries, and the talk has changed. Among these countries, the Great Chu is included.

But now it seems that Qin Jun is not a particularly powerful existence. It is a joke to block ten with one.

"It's too early to talk about unifying the world. The current priority is to repel the Qin army to Manshan Pass and annex Xiaba County!" Although Xiang Tao did not show the same ambition and confidence as Gu Qing and Xiang Xin, what he said Expose his inner swell.

Because before winning this war, Xiang Tao's goal was only to occupy Zhangzhou County, but now after winning, he has started plotting Xiatu Eight Counties.

"General, the Qin army has two advantages. First, the equipment is excellent. The blades equipped by our army can't cut through fish-scale armor at all, but the ring-shoulders equipped by the Qin army can easily break through the chain mail of our soldiers. As a result, in the eyes of the generals of the Qin army, the whole body of our soldiers is fatal, and in the eyes of the generals of the Qin army, only the throat is the fatal point!"

"Second, all the soldiers of the Qin Army have the will to die, from generals to ordinary soldiers, all have the willpower to fight to the death and never retreat. The former, our Chu Army can make up for the gap in equipment by capturing the equipment of the Qin Army. For the latter, only through training can one develop the willpower to not admit defeat like Qin Jun!"

"If we can't make our soldiers of the Chu army feel that they must die, even if our Chu army is equipped with the same equipment as the Qin army, we still can't defeat the Qin army!" Xiang Xin explained the advantages of the Qin army and the disadvantages of the Chu army.

Hearing these words, Xiang Tao and Gu Qing also fell silent. Yes, the Qin army was able to win every battle, not all relying on the superiority of equipment. The key to victory is the soldiers' mortal heart. Otherwise, no matter how good the equipment is, it will not help.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Tao asked thoughtfully.

Gu Qing also looked at Xiang Xin half understanding.

Xiang Xin bent down and saluted solemnly: "General, in order to defeat the powerful enemy of the Qin army, our Chu army must have a powerful army that can compete with the Qin army, or even surpass the Qin army!"

"So the last general asked for orders to pick out [-] elite soldiers to replace them with the equipment of the Qin army. The last general will personally train them. If the last general dares to issue a military order, he will definitely be able to train an elite king division for our great Chu that will sweep the world and win the entire army forever." , this army will be stronger than the elite Qin army, please agree with the general!"

Xiang Tao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at Gu Qing who was aside. Gu Qing fell into silence, with a pensive look on his brows.

The courtroom fell silent like this, and there was no sound.

"What do you think of the right general?" Xiang Tao asked Gu Qing.

After Gu Qing thought for a while, he saluted blankly and replied: "The general thinks that this matter needs to be reported to the imperial court and His Majesty's permission, otherwise, if there are treacherous officials in the imperial court who make slanderous remarks, I will not be able to bear it." Walk!"

Xiang Xin immediately said: "What General You said is very true, but here is a full two thousand miles away from Shouchun, and it takes at least a month to go back and forth, and it takes two months to go back and forth in rainy days or road problems. For us, one month is wasted in vain!"

"One more day of training will increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. What the general and the last general mean is that we can start training first while sending messengers to report to the imperial court. Let's break up and go back to the various departments, let's stop this matter!"

"This..." Gu Qing suddenly became embarrassed, he really didn't dare to agree to this matter before he got the court's order.

Seeing that Gu Qing was in a dilemma, Xiang Tao said, "This general thinks that this matter can be done in this way. At worst, His Majesty's crimes will be borne by me alone. General Zuo, you can do it freely. The 20 soldiers in the army are up to you to choose. Will fully support!"

"Think twice, General!" Gu Qing hastily remonstrated!

Xiang Tao waved his hands disapprovingly, and said with a solemn expression: "I believe that His Majesty will not punish you, because our original intention is to consider for the country and His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Gu Qing had no choice but to respond: "Follow the general's wishes!"

"Where is Xiang Xin!" Xiang Tao snorted softly.

Xiang Xin immediately responded sonorously and forcefully: "The end is here!"

"I will appoint you as the commander of the new army, and I will be fully responsible for the training of the new army. You have to listen to this general. You have issued a military order. If you can't do this well, don't blame the general for not taking care of your uncle and nephew." Points!" Xiang Tao shouted with a serious expression.

"The last general will live up to the high expectations of the general!" Xiang Xin solemnly agreed.

"Go down!" Xiang Tao waved his palm lightly. Seeing this, Xiang Xin bid farewell to Xiang Tao and Gu Qingxing one after another, and soon left the court to prepare for the training of the new army.

As soon as Xiang Xin left, Xiang Tao said to Gu Qing, "General You, I need to trouble you for something!"

"Please speak, General!" Gu Qing replied with a salute.

"The Qin army was completely annihilated, so they will become angry and attack our Chu army. Qin has artillery and cannons, and the city is unstoppable. In a frontal battle, our Chu army has no advantage. All our troops must be broken up and temporarily stationed in the mountains. Attack the Qin army with guerrilla tactics!" Xiang Tao ordered decisively.

Gu Qing also knew that the matter was no small matter, so he responded immediately: "The general will do it!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Qing turned around and left the court, Xiang Tao was not idle either, he also left the court not long after, and went to Xiang Xin Camp to watch the artillery.

Chapter 1031

Xiang Tao is very curious about artillery. He has always wanted to see what the artillery looks like with his own eyes. Unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity. Now that Xiang Xin has seized the artillery, he naturally wants to go to open his eyes and see the city walls and passes. What does the big killer look like.

It's a pity that Xiang Tao's curiosity was not satisfied, because the artillery could not be installed, and he could only see a bunch of parts, which made Xiang Tao feel very disappointed. However, after learning that Xiang Xin had the idea of ​​capturing the Qin army's artillery alive, he couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

Time passed slowly, and the days passed. In the following time, Xiang Xin trained the new army during the day and led troops to attack the rest of the Qin army at night. Not only Xiang Xin, but also the right general Gu Qing and the top general Xiang Tao also led The soldiers attacked the Qin army in Zhangzhou County at night, and they had the momentum to sweep Zhangzhou County.

This is just the formation made by the Chu army on the top road. The Chu army on the middle road and the Chu army on the bottom road also attacked the Qin army at about the same time, resulting in heavy losses for the Qin army entering Zhangzhou County and Yangshan County!

Four days in a flash, the 29th day of the first month of the 25th year of Shengqin!

Xiajing, Yujiang County, and Pingxiang County City!

Yujiang County is one of the eight counties in Xiajing, located in the west of Xiajing, bordering Huize County in Zhaojing, Zhangzhou County in the south of Yujiang County, and Pingxiang City is the county seat of Yujiang County, located in the central area of ​​Yujiang County, and Chu Zhangzhou City occupied by the army is only more than [-] miles away.

Pingxiang City has long been captured by the Qin army, and Xiao Xiong, the seventh-rank Lingjiang general of the Great Qin Cong, is stationed here.

Sheriff's office, court!

In the courtroom, Xiao Xiong, who was sitting at the head of the court, stared at the letter paper in his hand for a while, his face gradually revealed an angry look, and finally he slapped his palm on the desk in anger, and said angrily: "The Chu army is so bold that you actually wiped out me!" Qin Jun, damn it!"

"Come here, immediately summon the captains in the city to discuss matters!" Xiao Xiong then shouted to the outside of the hall.

When the guards outside the hall heard the words, one of the guards hurriedly left the entrance of the court hall.

After about an incense stick of time, captains wearing black armor and blue tasseled helmets stepped into the courtroom one after another. The captains who came in couldn't help feeling puzzled when they saw Xiao Xiong who was sitting on the first seat with an angry look on his face.

Who provoked General Xiao?

After another short period of time, all the captains in the city had arrived, a total of six captains and one school captain.

There are ten captains under Xiao Xiong's command, and the other four captains are stationed in various parts of Yujiang County. Therefore, there are only six captains and [-] soldiers in Pingxiang City. Oh, there is also a artillery battalion directly under it standby.

The only school lieutenant in the hall is the school lieutenant directly under the artillery battalion, named Cai Bao, and his full name is Cai Bao, the school lieutenant directly under the seventh artillery battalion of Wuyang Daying.

After Xiao Xiong saw that everyone had arrived, he went straight to the point and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, this time I urgently summoned you for a discussion. It was because my Qin army was ambushed by the Chu army. The No. 40 Seventh Army Sword and Shield Infantry and The entire army of the Third Artillery Battalion directly under the Wuyang Camp was annihilated, with [-] Ugly Bull cannons and [-] shells falling into the enemy's hands!"

"what!"

Everyone was shocked suddenly and couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

"The entire artillery battalion was annihilated. This is the first time I have encountered it in Daqin!" Cai Bao looked a little dignified, worried that the artillery would fall into the hands of the enemy.

Qin Jun knew the strength of the artillery, and knew how much casualties it would cause to the Qin Army if the artillery became the enemy's weapon.

"The No. 40 Seventh Army of Wuyang Daying is under General Yiwei. Do you need to send someone to inform you?" One of the captains stood up and said.

General Yiwei is Sejong, and the sword and shield army and artillery battalion wiped out by the Chu army are all Sejong's subordinates.

"Of course we have to send someone to inform him. Not only that, but also the Hussar General. The entire army was wiped out and the artillery fell into the enemy's hands. This is not a small matter. I am afraid that Shangyanghou will report it to the court if he finds out about it. !" Xiao Xiong's expression turned ugly.

Although the No.40 Seventh Army of Wuyang Daying was not his subordinate, it was a disgrace to the entire Qin Army.

"The Chu army quietly touched Zhangzhou. It seems that they did it on purpose. General, we must be prepared to prevent the Chu army from attacking Yujiang!"

"Yes, General, the Chu army is approaching menacingly, we must guard against it!"

"Chu Jun is really arrogant. He dared to challenge me, Da Qin. He is courting death!"

"The general believes that the most important thing now is to find out the situation of the army and who is in command as soon as possible. As the saying goes, knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle!"

All the generals spoke out one after another, some scolded the Chu army for being arrogant, some reminded Xiao Xiong to be cautious, and some gave advice to Xiao Xiong.

When Xiao Xiong heard the last sentence, he immediately interrupted the generals and said: "Well said, the current priority is to know the strength of the Chu army and who the commander is as soon as possible. In addition, we must also know the situation in Zhangzhou County. It is clear how many areas in Zhangzhou County are occupied by the Chu army."

"Where is Gong Li!" Xiao Xiong shouted lightly.

"The last general is here!" The captain named Gong Li stood up and responded.

"Send a hundred scouts into Zhangzhou County to investigate the situation, and within ten days, we must obtain the information we will need!" Xiao Xiong looked at Gong Li solemnly and ordered.

"The last general takes orders!" Gong Li leaned over to respond respectfully, then slowly withdrew from the courtroom and quickly disappeared from Xiao Xiong's sight.

"Ah~"

Xiao Xiong sighed suddenly, and Cai Bao subconsciously asked: "Why is the general sighing? Could it be because the No.40 Seventh Army and the Third Artillery Battalion directly under it were wiped out?"

Xiao Xiong shook his head, with a hint of sadness hanging between his brows, he said: "I am worried about General Polu!"

"Why?" Cai Bao asked suspiciously.

"The entry of the Chu army will definitely not only enter Zhangzhou County, Yangshan County may also be invaded by the Chu army, and the generals in charge of occupying Yangshan County are Chongnan General Shao Junguang and Polu General Ma Daudao. General Chongnan is okay. If you are ambushed, you will definitely calm down and think about countermeasures!"

"General Ma is different. He is a quick-tempered man, and others always take advantage of him. If his subordinates are wiped out, he will be furious. He may not be stopped by his generals and attack the Chu army rashly! "

"The Chu army's invasion was premeditated. General Ma may fall into the trap of the Chu army. It's a pity that Shangyanghou is not on the front line. If he is there, General Ma can be calmed down. Now I only hope that General Ma and General Shao Successfully occupied the entire territory of Yangshan County!" Xiao Xiong said with a worried face.

"General Ma bravely won the three armies, and he will be safe and sound!" Cai Bao edited and saluted.

"Don't worry, general!" All the generals also said in succession.

I hope.... Xiao Xiong thought to himself, then he was silent for a while, and then said to the generals: "Pass down this general order, and ask the troops stationed in Yujiang County to be extremely cautious. If any abnormalities are found, don't rush Attack!"

"Obey!" All the generals shouted in unison!

Chapter 1032

"Report!"

In vain at this moment, an urgent call came from outside the hall!

"Come in!" Xiao Xiong shouted lightly!

As soon as the words fell, a scout hurried into the court, knelt down on one knee and wrote with a rather heavy expression: "General Qi, something is wrong, enter the No. 40 Nine Army Sword and Shield Step of Wuyang Camp in Zhangzhou County The whole army is wiped out!"

"What!" Xiao Xiong was astonished from his chair, and said in disbelief: "Another one was wiped out!"

The faces of the generals in the tent also became ugly.

It was wiped out twice successively, and the two established armies were completely annihilated. When did Daqin suffer such a tragic blow?

"Do you know who the general of the Chu army is?" Xiao Xiong asked the scout with a gloomy face.

The scout couldn't help lowering his head when he heard the words, "Forgive me, General, I haven't detected it yet!"

Xiao Xiong was discouraged for a while, waved his hand weakly and said: "Go down and rest."

The scouts quickly retreated and left. After the scouts left, Xiao Xiong said in a low voice angrily: "Two Qin armies have been completely wiped out, and I, the Qin army, don't know who is leading the Chu army, and I don't know exactly how many Chu armies there are. Soldiers and horses, let alone where the soldiers and horses of the Chu army are!"

"This is the first time I've fought such a useless battle since I was in the army!" Xiao Xiong swears angrily.

"The No. 40 Ninth Army is still under General Yiwei, and I don't know how many troops General Yiwei sent into Zhangzhou. Now I just hope that General Yiwei will get the situation in Zhangzhou as soon as possible and withdraw from Zhangzhou temporarily!" A captain said solemnly .

Xiao Xiong was full of anxiety in his heart, and kept muttering to himself: "This can't happen anymore, this thing can't continue to happen, we have to change our strategy, that's right, we have to change our strategy."

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what strategy to change.

After Xiao Xiong muttered to himself, he became silent, and the generals in the hall didn't dare to disturb him, making the courtroom full of oppressive and tense atmosphere.

After a while, Xiao Xiong just opened his mouth and gave an order: "This general's order, the army will move to the northern border of Zhangzhou County immediately, and set up defenses on all the official roads along the border. Offend the Chu army!"

The situation in Zhangzhou became more and more complicated, Xiao Xiong couldn't calm down, he had to take action, he couldn't just sit in Yujiang County and watch his army be wiped out.

"Obey!" All the generals responded in unison.

At the same time, four hundred miles southeast of Pingxiang City, Xiajinglao County, Nancheng!

Lao County is located in the middle of Xiajing, extending to the Yellow River Basin in the north, just across from Shangzuo County by a river, Xiajiang County in the east, Yangshan County in the south, Zhangzhou County in the southwest, and Yujiang County in the west; Near the southwestern border of the county, it is close to Zhangzhou County, Yangshan County and Yujiang County, which can be regarded as the junction of the three counties.

In Nancheng County Government Hall!

The faces of Sejong sitting on the first seat and the generals on both sides of the hall are gloomy!

They also just received the news that the No. 40 Seventh Army, No. 40 Ninth Army, and the Third Artillery Battalion directly under the Wuyang Camp were wiped out.

"Report!"

An urgent call came from outside the hall.

When they heard the emergency report, Sejong and the generals in the hall couldn't help but have a headache. They had heard the emergency report twice in a row. The two emergency reports were news that the troops under their command had been wiped out. Confuse.

Because Shizong sent two armies and one artillery battalion into Zhangzhou County, and now the troops sent to Zhangzhou County have been completely wiped out, so what is this urgent report?

Sejong suppressed the anxiety in his heart and shouted lightly: "Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, a scout quickly ran into the court, knelt down on one knee and wrote to Sejong with a hurried expression, and said, "General, the scouts sent to Yangshan County are here to report, the first army of the Manshan Daying Army, the Long Spear Infantry, The Second Army Sword and Shield Infantry was ambushed by the Chu Army twenty miles north of Taiguang County, Yangshan County!"

This Taiguang is not that Taiguang. Taiguang in the Shu Dynasty was just a county seat, and Taiguang in the Xia Dynasty was a county seat. The two have the same name.

"The two infantry troops of Manshan Camp suffered more than half of their casualties, but they killed [-] enemies and won a small round. Now the two infantry troops of Manshan Camp, who were more than half disabled, have withdrawn from Yangshan County!"

"This is finally good news!" Sejong breathed a sigh of relief.
