November 27, 259 BC, morning.

Yiling City.

For Chu, this is a city of extremely special significance.

The tombs of the former kings of Chu State were once buried here.

The reason why it was said to be once was because nineteen years ago, the famous Wu'an Jun Bai Qi led his army to break through the place and burned the Chu ancestral temple outside the city and the tombs of the Chu kings of all dynasties with a fire.

Later poet Hu Zeng once wrote a poem for this: "The Yiling City Palace leaned against the clouds, and the defeated Qin army set fire to the fire. Why do you have three thousand pearls to walk in the west? You can't control the Wu'an king in the west?"

Of course, since Bai Qi burned the tombs and ancestral temples, Yiling City was still intact, but it turned from the territory of Chu to a part of Qin.

There are many Chu people living in this Yiling City, most of whom are descendants of the defenders sent by the Chu royal family to guard the ancestral temples and the tombs of the former kings.

During the Changping War last year, after learning that the Chu army began to attack the two southeastern counties, the Chu residents in Yiling City launched a rebellion, killing the Qin city guards in Yiling City, and successfully resisting the Qin army's next several counterattacks, becoming the first city among the two southeastern counties to respond to the Chu army.

After returning to the embrace of Chu, the residents of Yiling City were excited and carnival for six days and six nights.

On that morning, the sun rose from the east, and the sun shone on the top of Yiling City. A few white clouds slowly floated through the sky, and everything looked so peaceful.

Several Chu soldiers patrolled the city wall while talking gossip.

A short and dark-skinned soldier in Chu said, "I heard that the war in Wancheng is fierce, and I don't know who wins and who loses."

His companion, a tall and thin Chu soldier, sneered: "It's more to say? Of course, if Chu wins, Qin will definitely lose!"

The short soldier frowned and said, "Qin is the overlord of the world. Have you forgotten that we were still the people of Qin not long ago? I see that the victory or defeat of this battle is hard to decide."

The tall and thin soldier spat and said, "That's the past! Now Qin has been defeated in the Battle of Changping, which is no longer the same as before! In addition, the Shangzhu Kingdom has led its troops, so this battle will definitely be won!"

After hearing this, several other Chu soldiers agreed and said, "Yes, yes, the Qin people are no longer strong now! If Qin is really that powerful, how could we take back Yiling City and Yingdu? Qin is far inferior to Zhao, nor is it as good as Chu!"

For a moment, the crowd was in a state of turmoil, and the words were particularly contempt and contempt for the Qin people.

The short soldier wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he could only shake his head helplessly and turn his eyes away.

The next moment, the short soldier suddenly stopped.

The short soldier's sudden stop almost made the companion behind him collide. The shocked companion subconsciously wanted to complain, but was immediately interrupted by the short soldier.

"Look, there is a boat!"

"Ship?" The other Chu soldiers were a little funny when they heard this.

This Yiling City is based on the river, so how could it be without a ship?

But when they turned their eyes to the river, the smiles on the faces of all the Chu soldiers instantly froze.

Surrounded by mountains, the river winds, and a large ship sails out from the calm water of the Yangtze River behind the mountain. On the top of the tall mast, a black flag is flying vigorously, and the word "Qin" on it is extremely conspicuous.

Behind this big ship, one big ship after another sailed out of the mountains, densely packed with the entire river surface, looking extremely shocking.

"Gudong." The short soldier subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and suddenly jumped up, roaring in a voice that was surprised or fearful.

"The enemy attacks, Qin army, it's the Qin army coming!"

Because they were going downstream, these Qin warships came very fast, and they looked like sharp arrows coming towards Yiling City.

When the sirens began to sound at the top of Yiling City, Qin warships began to dock on the dock outside the city.

Sima Jin, dressed in armor, was the first to jump from the boat to the dock. Looking at the stunned Chu people in the dock, his eyes widened and roared: "Kneel down for me!"

After shouting this sentence, Sima Jin did not stop and rushed towards the city gate not far away.

Behind Sima Jin, one Qin soldiers after another jumped off the ship, followed Sima Jin's footsteps, and launched an attack on Yiling City in front of them.

Yiling City is built on the river, so its southern city gate is not far from the pier, about a few hundred feet away.

Sima Jin took a big step and rushed to the city gate. He happened to see hundreds of Chu soldiers pushing the heavy city gate in a hurry, trying to close the city gate.

Sima Jin pulled out the long sword in his hand almost without hesitation, and the thunder in his tongue burst into tears, "Chu Manzi, die!"

The next moment, Sima Jin crashed into the Chu soldiers like a tiger going down the mountain. The long sword in his hand kept waving, and each sword was rising and falling, carrying a lot of blood and screams, reaping his lives wantonly.

Behind Sima Jin, one Qin army soldier after another rushed into the city gate and started a fierce battle with the Chu army.

These Qin soldiers who rushed to the front were all wearing armor and leather helmets on their heads. They were the famous Qin Ruishi!

However, in just a few dozen breaths, Sima Jin and Qin Ruishi easily defeated the enemy in front of them. The hundreds of defenders who wanted to stop Sima Jin's progress left dozens of corpses and fled in scattered.

Sima Jin, covered in blood, burst into laughter, looking at the countless residents of Yiling City who were panicked and screaming in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"Listen to the Chu Barbarians, your old Qin man is back!"

All of this scene was seen by Wang Ling, who was still not on the boat, making Wang Ling's mouth smile.

Although Wang Ling's old boss Bai Qi has been under house arrest by King Ji of Qin, this does not affect Qin Wang Ji's entrusting important tasks to Wang Ling, allowing Wang Ling to fully command this surprise attack on the Chu State.

In fact, the only one who was afraid of Qin King Ji was always Bai Qi.

A general beside Wang Ling said in confusion: "General, why is the Chu army here unprepared and has such weak combat power?"

You should know that decades ago, the Qin general Sima Cuo had already launched two "floating rivers to attack Chu" wars.

During those two battles, the first place where the Qin army attacked was Yufu City hundreds of miles upstream, and the next one was Yiling City.

Even if the Chu people are stupid, they are beaten twice in a row, they should be a little prepared.

Wang Ling smiled slightly and said, "It's not that the Chu people are not defending, but that the Chu people have no soldiers to defend. Now the Chu forces are all in the Central Plains and the Wang Army and the Qi army. How can there be any troops to guard here?"

The generals around Wang Ling suddenly realized.

Wang Ling looked at the Qin soldiers who were still pouring into Yiling City in front of him, and his expression became more and more pleasant, and even his tone of speaking was a bit relaxed.

"Send the order and fight quickly. We don't have time to waste here. There are still many places waiting to conquer!"
