In December of the fifth year of King Qin.
The Qin army's Wang Jian tribe entered Chu from Yufu (now Baidi City in the east of Fengjie) at the junction of Qin and Chu, and then marched along Wujun (around today's Wushan) to Yiling. In fifteen days, they defeated four large cities in Chu.
He and the Lian Po tribe sometimes divided their forces and sometimes joined forces.
Now Gao Cai has been killed.
The ultimate goal of this combat route is to continue southward along the Dongting Line, pass through Cangwu, pierce Linwu, Chu Land, and swallow up Chu Land including Zhaoyao Mountain.
If the cutting of this line is successfully completed, it will eat up nearly a quarter of the Chu people's territory and create a direct channel from Qin to the South China Sea.
This is the intention of Wang Jian's troops in this battle.
In half a month, they reached Gaocai and completed one-third of the battle plan. This shows how sharp Wang Jian and Lian Po are in harmony.
At this time, the Northern Territory of the Qin Dynasty was guarded by Meng Wu and Meng Tian's father and son, and the Wei territory on the eastern front was guarded by Wang Ben's troops to guard against any unusual movements in the Wei territory.
Going south along the east side, they started a full-scale war with the Chu people, fighting on multiple battlefields at the same time.
Yang Ruihe, Meng Yi and others firmly restrained the famous Chu general Xiang Yan at the junction of Qin and Chu on the southern line.
Gao Cai, located to the west of the Chu region, was the most important main battlefield.
Wang Ben and Lian Po each led an army and met outside Gaocai City.
Afternoon.
The Battle of Gongcheng has lasted for most of the day.
The Qin army is a tiger and wolf force, but the Chu people are not Han or Wei, and they can be broken with a single poke.
In particular, the Chu army has also learned Yin Shang's military strategies in recent years, and through practice, their military fronts have increased significantly.
Moreover, Gao Cai's general, Ji E, was a veteran general in his sixties. He was a prudent man and would not stand firm.
Under the city, hundreds of Qin army's engineering equipment were lined up in a row, and with the sound of machine buttons, they were constantly projecting and shaking Gao Cai's city wall.
However, after attacking and defending for half a day, Gaocai City had strong walls and thick walls, and the Qin army did not make progress as expected.
At the top of Gaocai City, the Chu army general Ji E and a group of lieutenants climbed to the city to watch the battle.
"My Gaocai is a fortified city on the western front. It was just re-fortified the year before last to prevent monsters. Even if the Qin army is allowed to attack the city, it won't take more than a few months. It won't be possible to shake my Gaocai."
Ji E watched the battle with a calm heart and gently stroked his long beard.
He looked sharply at the black-armored Qin army under the city.
In the rear formation of the Qin army, which was clearly engaged and with flags fluttering, there were military chariots. On two of them, Wang Jian, the first general of the Qin Dynasty, and Lian Po, the old, strong and strong man, stood respectively.
Wang Jian held the gun in one hand and looked at the city head from a distance.
The two generals looked at each other from afar.
Ji E suddenly activated the power in his body, and his voice shook the battlefield: "The Qin generals Wang Jian, Lian Po, Ren You and others are all brave and brave, but they can't even think of defeating me, Gao Cai. I, Ji E, will lead the Chu generals bravely to stop the Qin army like you."
"
When the soldiers, generals and common people in the Chu city heard Ji E's words from afar, their morale was boosted, and they all cheered in unison to support his power.
Wang Jian smiled on the chariot and said: "Your Majesty cherishes the troops. Considering that our Qin army has been fighting for years and is afraid that the soldiers will be tired of fighting, this time we have specially given a weapon to attack the city.
After fighting for a long time, Gao Cai has figured out what is real and what is not true. Since the Chu general has invited the war, he will release the powerful siege weapons of our Qin Dynasty so that the Chu people can see them."
"good."
Lian Po on the other side said: "Use yours or mine?"
Wang Jian smiled and said: "Use mine. In the cities ahead, General Lian Po used the thick earth beads given by the king to break open the city gates. This time I will try with what the king gave me."
Lian Po asked curiously: "What is the siege weapon that the king gave you? I have never seen the general use it."
Then he saw a lieutenant behind Wang Jian step forward, holding a bronze box with a complicated design, dense incantations, and a square foot.
The moment the copper box was opened, there was a roar.
The sky thundered.
Qiang~Qiang Qiang!
In the copper box, there seemed to be thousands of armies and horses clashing with each other, making clanging noises.
Immediately, a majestic energy rushed out, like a huge mountain being released.
The bronze man walked out of the bronze box.
When it was in the box, it was less than a foot big, but the moment it stepped out of the box, it instantly climbed to more than thirty feet. It was so majestic that it was like a copper mountain.
Boom boom boom!
The earth shook, and the heaven and earth shook as the bronze man moved forward.
Inside and outside Gaocai City, there was total silence.
Tens of thousands of eyes looked at the bronze man running toward the city gate.
The Chu army's horror and the Qin army's excitement formed a sharp contrast.
"Quick, use military formations to activate all city defenses!" On top of the city, Ji E was horrified.
I didn't expect that one sentence would provoke such a big bronze statue.
On the top of the Chu army's city, a black bird spawned by the combined efforts of all the armies quickly rose up.
Because he also learned the military strategies of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the totem he transformed into was also the black bird of the Shang Dynasty.
This black bird's wings are spread out and is no less than a hundred feet tall. Every detail of its crown, body, and claws is extremely clear, and its aura is powerful and vigorous.
In addition, there is a totem of a nine-headed bird rising, its power is hardly inferior to that of the black bird. It is also the totem of the military formation formed by the Chu army.
The black bird and the nine-headed bird rose into the sky, spitting flames from their mouths, and rushed towards the bronze man.
call!
The overwhelming wave of fire hit him, and the bronze man ran wildly, not dodging or avoiding, and hit the city gate directly.
In the flames, the bronze man's body emitted thousands of cyan mantras of light, and the mantras he released were protective walls that were several feet thick.
Boom!
The bronze man took long strides and hit the city gate as the earth shook and the mountains shook.
Countless curse patterns appeared inside and outside Gao Cai's city wall, coiling like a giant python to resist collisions.
Even so, the entire city was still shaking violently.
From a spectator's perspective, it looks like a moving mountain crashing into another mountain, causing rocks to fly.
The city walls are covered with cracks.
Using bronze men to attack a city is cheating, and it directly turns the siege into a battle between immortals and demons.
Ji E shouted loudly, waved his hand and threw out a spear.
The spear pierced the bronze man's body like a straw, failing to even break through his defense.
At this time, the black bird and the nine-headed bird flew down from the sky and pounced on the bronze man.
The bronze man stretched out his arm to grab it. His arms were as long as mountains, covering the sky and the sun. He actually held the black bird and the nine-headed bird under one arm at the same time. There was an explosion, and the black bird was caught by the bronze man like a real creature.
He broke his neck.
Its huge fist hammered the nine-headed bird, scattering it into a stream of mana that filled the sky.
In the city, tens of thousands of Chu troops who released their military formation totems all snorted, their eyebrows splitting.
Click!
The bronze man swung his fist and hit the city gate hard.
The city gate exploded with a bang and was torn into pieces.
Two attacks shattered the gates of a fortified city!
The existence of the Bronze Man offset the Chu army's advantage of relying on city defense, forcing the Chu and Qin armies to confront each other head-on.
The two sides changed from a siege battle to a confrontation between two armies.
The morale of the Qin army was high, and they rushed into the breached Gaocai City like a tide.
