Chapter 91: The Qin Army’s First Failure

This was a defeated army, and it was the first such large-scale defeat for the Qin Dynasty since it came out of Shu. The leaders were still the famous Meng Rui and Wang Chong, and I have to say that it was very uncomfortable.

A few days ago, Xiang Zhuang led the elite Chu army to attack suddenly. Meng and Wang were caught off guard and were killed, leaving behind their helmets and armor. Fucheng and Pucheng were lost one after another.

After sacrificing five thousand death squads, they retreated all the way to Wuguan.

"Damn it, what a disgrace. I, Meng Rui, have betrayed His Majesty's trust. Damn it!"

After the army entered the city and just breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Rui shouted in grief and anger, and was about to draw his sword to kill himself, but Wang Chong snatched it away in time: "The matter has come to this, and suicide will not help now. The top priority is to stabilize first and prevent the enemy from attacking again." Half an inch forward, as for the sins committed by you and me, your Majesty will deal with them when the war is over."

"What should we do now? It's up to you." Meng Rui said casually, he was a little emotionally unstable now.

"Victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. Don't be like this. The worst we can do is defend this time, and we will take the initiative to ask for death in front of His Majesty." Wang Chong comforted, and then called the deputy general: "Pass this order, the entire city will implement wartime resource concentration, regardless of men or women. Young and old, bricks and tiles, all participate in the defense of the city. Don't let me in even a dog or a chicken."

"After this battle, in addition to state pensions, I, the Wang family, and the Meng family are willing to use [-]% of their property to reward the city defenders." Wang Chong solemnly promised. Meng Rui looked at him in shock, and the latter laughed. .

Benefit lies in the direction of the people. Everyone in the Qin State knows the names of the two great clans, Wang Clan and Meng Clan. So when Wang Chong said these words, the eyes of the soldiers present lit up, and their morale suddenly rose. .

Xiang Zhuang quickly came after him with the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. There was no nonsense from both sides, and the fierce attack began immediately. The fierce battle began, and the soldiers on both sides did not take their own lives seriously.

Life is withering like grass. Many people have become a puddle of meat without understanding what happened. The most important thing is that no one will pay attention to the name of this puddle of meat. They will just step on it and continue to move forward. Go ahead and die.

The battle lasted for three days, with corpses strewn all over the city, and the number of soldiers on both sides dropped by [-]%.When they saw that even the old, weak, women and children risked their lives and gritted their teeth to persevere on the city wall, Yingbu and Gong Ao knew that the coalition forces could not withstand it.

After dealing with the Qin army for many days, they understood the Qin army better than Xiangzhuang.

Xiang Zhuang doesn't care. His thinking is relatively simple, which is to use his sophisticated weapons and equipment to cooperate with brave soldiers who are not afraid of death, and use their lives to win the battle.

Anyway, most of those who died now were Jiujiang Army and Linjiang Army.However, with limited manpower, people will eventually be afraid of death. No matter how desperate the Jiujiang Army and Linjiang Army are, they will not be able to hold on.

When a new round of attacks was launched, some people started to fight and fled. However, under Xiangzhuang's supervision team, many people were killed by the sword without even returning to their own positions.

Both Yingbu and Gong Ao wanted to order a retreat, but Xiangzhuang refused to let them.

"I told you to withdraw your troops, do you hear me?"

Yingbu was so angry that he raised his spear and pressed it against Xiang Zhuang's neck. Seeing this, Gong Ao also raised his casual weapon and pointed it at Xiang Zhuang.Seeing this, Xiang Zhuang's personal guards immediately turned their guns and surrounded Ying Bu, Gong Ao and others. The two sides were at war with each other.

Xiang Zhuang sneered: "Humph, Yingbu, have you forgotten that you were once a general under the Overlord? What? After being the king for a few days, you dare to disobey the Overlord's orders, right?"

Yingbu said angrily: "Stop trying to oppress me as an overlord. I have treated you with all my benevolence and justice. Now it is just a cooperative relationship. If you want to use the lives of my soldiers to spread your credit, don't even think about it."

After saying that, the spear went a little deeper, and a trace of blood came out of Xiang Zhuang's neck.

"Yes, how many people have died between the two of us since you arrived? Don't you have any idea in your mind? Now you still want my soldiers to be used as cannon fodder one after another. I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

Gong Ao also added that the big knife in his hand was already placed on Xiang Zhuang's shoulder. As long as the blade was deflected, Xiang Zhuang would be killed.

"Hey, we are all friends. If you have something to say, why bother? Put down the knife, put it down."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Xiang Zhuang had already raised his hand. As long as he waved his hand, his guards would rush forward. A civil war was inevitable, and Luan Bu quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Retreat. We will withdraw today and attack another day." Life was at stake. Looking at today's situation, Xiang Zhuang still compromised and waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat.

"Commander, they finally retreated."

Lieutenants Ye Liangchen and Zhao Ritian stood guard beside their respective commanders, happily pointing at the retreating coalition forces and shouting.

Wang Chong ordered: "I saw it, but don't let down your guard. The whole army is divided into three squads and continues to defend. The rest of the people take the time to rest. There will be a fierce battle to be fought later."

"Also, according to what Han Shuai did at Hangu Pass, send people who are still in high spirits to rush to repair the fortifications. Go quickly." Meng Rui continued to add.

On the other side, after returning to the camp, Yingbu and Gong Ao took their respective armies to camp separately. The two even had a tacit understanding to set up their camps on the left and right sides of the Chu army, forming a vague encirclement.

"Hey, you were too impulsive today. Now there is a rift between Yingbu and Gong Ao. How can we explain it to the overlord?" Luan Bu walked up and down in the tent and scolded.

"Okay, this is the mistake. What else can be done? Send someone to report to the king and just obey his orders."

"Haha, I really don't know why the king makes you handsome."

"You can do it? You go and tell the king?"

"You..., forget it, I'm not a descendant of your Xiang family, I can just obey your orders." Luan Bu walked out angrily and got drunk alone in his barracks.

Just when all parties were entangled, Huo Sancai, Zan Bupan, and Li Yong, who were in Xianyang, received orders from Li Feng: "Recently, our Great Qin Army has been quite unfavorable, and I think they have issued a 'poaching policy' Since then, many people from the six countries have poured into Da Qin, and there are also spies among them. I ask the entire Inspection Bureau to increase the investigation of our territory in Da Qin, making sure to let one person go." After receiving the order, Li Yong immediately started to make arrangements.

"The Chu army is stubbornly resisting. I feel that I am in a difficult situation. I have no choice but to use your last trump card. I order the assassination of high-ranking officials, royal families, and wealthy gentry in Western Chu, burn down the armory, destroy generals and prisons, and within a month, I will Let the situation in Chu country be in turmoil and people's hearts be in panic."

Zan Bupan and Huo Sancai looked at each other, excitement showing on their faces.

A cruel smile appeared on Huo Sancai's lips: "His Majesty finally used us. He thought we had no share in this war. Now I am happy."
