The Kingdom of Chu, also known as Jing or Jingchu, has a king named Xiong named Mi.
During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty, Xiong Yi, the leader of the Chu people, was granted the title of Viscount, and the Kingdom of Chu was officially established.
According to historical records, the Chu people were extremely poor and weak at the beginning of the founding of the country. There were no cattle in the country and they needed to steal cattle for sacrifice.
However, after hundreds of years of development, the Chu State began to rise in the Spring and Autumn Period, starting from King Cheng of Chu, and continued to annex the surrounding small vassal states. The Emperor of Zhou granted the Chu State the title of Xun and ordered the Chu State to guard Central and South China.
When Xiong Tong overtook his rule and proclaimed himself king, he became King Wu of Chu.
During the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, he aspired to dominate the Central Plains. He defeated the Jin State in the Battle of Bi and became hegemonic, ushering in the most prosperous era of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Its territory stretches from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain, and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, from Nanling in the south, to central Henan in the north, and borders Shaanxi and Shandong. Its territory is the largest among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
During the period of King Huai of Chu, he annexed the country of Yue, but due to King Huai's improper employment of people and the fraud of Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi, the country gradually declined.
Until this moment, Qin's army of 500,000 troops besieged Shouchun, the capital of Chu.
Chu had been defeated in consecutive battles before. After being trapped, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and showed signs of national destruction.
When Cao Yu quickly walked out of the camp and came to the city battlements, he saw the Qin army lined up outside the city, with their armor prepared and drums beating loudly, approaching Shouchun.
Brush ~ brush, sonorous!
The armor and skirts of the Qin army were flying, making a constant metallic sound.
Cao Yu could even see the excited and high-spirited fighting spirit on the faces of the advancing Qin army.
The outcome of this battle has actually been determined for a long time, and most of the battle between the two sides has been completed outside of Shouchun.
Zhao Huaizhong and Siying plundered the Jie Jiao cave, destroyed Jie Jiao's layout, and shot Yu Qing in public. This included the Qin army advancing from the westernmost side of the capital of the Chu people, advancing step by step, until they marched thousands of miles and captured most of the Chu people's territory.
Became a sieve.
After the war, the battle between Ye Yufu and Chu people Mofu, and Jiejiao practitioners.
All of this is to accumulate victory for the Qin army, create more favorable conditions for the final battle, and reduce its own consumption.
Until Yu Qing was shot and killed in public, the mentality of the people of Chu, from the ruler down to the state, was on the verge of collapse.
So Wang Jian immediately sent his troops to attack the city.
If Yu Qing had not been shot dead in public, Wang Jian might have continued to besiege the city until the Chu people themselves collapsed.
However, after Yu Qing was shot and killed, Wang Jian made a test and sent the Qin army to conclude the Black Bird Totem and approach the city of Shouchun. The Chu army did not react tit-for-tat at that time, so Wang Jian knew that the time had come and there was no need to continue waiting.
The siege at this moment is in line with the general trend and will defeat the last will of the defenders.
On the ground, the Qin army pushed forward steadily.
Gao Kong, Xuanniao and Qilin were also ready for battle.
call!
Qilin was the first to spit out purple flames, and Xuanniao also spit out huge waves of fire, burning the city head!
This was like a signal. The Qin army formed a rear line, the sound of war drums shook the clouds, and the sea of ​​clouds moved swiftly like a rushing river.
Boom!
There was actually a mountain with a height of 100 feet, which was thrown out and hit Shouchun.
It's a bronze giant.
The Chu troops at the head of the city changed their faces in shock and shouted in unison.
This scene is so touching.
In the rear formation, there are two bronze giants throwing together.
The mountains and boulders that they had moved in the past few days now turned into stone bullets, and they hit Shouchun with the power of the mountains.
What city defense can resist such a powerful attack?
The defensive formations carved on the head of Shouchun City were broken one after another.
Suddenly, two bronze figures began to run towards Shouchun.
Their steps hit the ground, causing an air quake and the ground jolting violently.
The whole Shouchun was shaking.
The mountains shook and the earth shook.
I saw one of the bronze figures suddenly leaping up while running, his huge body like a copper mountain.
It arches its body as hard as it can.
Another bronze man grabbed his companion's ankle, his whole body glowed, the Jiuding in his Dantian vibrated, and he threw him out with all his strength!
The void was filled with deafening sonic booms, and even space seemed unable to bear the weight of the bronze man.
"Quick, stop him."
At the top of the city, Xiang Yan and Li Yuan, who had just climbed onto the top of the city, were shouting at the top of their lungs.
When the Bronze Man threw stones, the already crumbling city defense was likely to be directly breached if it could not stop the Bronze Man.
But it's too late.
The Chu army had low fighting spirit and was caught off guard. Seeing the bronze men coming through the air, they had no time to gather their strength to resist.
Boom!
The bronze man hit the city head, and with such an earth-shattering impact, the west gate and the surrounding city walls suddenly collapsed.
The defensive spell patterns reinforced many times collapsed at the same time.
The bronze man stood up, with spells flashing all over his body, and punched out, causing a larger area of ​​the city wall to collapse.
In the rear, the Qin army looked excited amidst the roar of shouts and launched a charge, approaching Shouchun.
Dang! Dang!
In the city, the Chu people's state-controlled bells were ringing.
Under Shouchun City, a force was summoned from the earth, and a dark-yellow wall of mana light rose up, filling in the missing parts of the city wall and forming a new defense.
Immediately, black-yellow mana light surged from the entire ground, covering the city.
The Chu people's decline was temporarily stabilized.
The Qin army came to the rear.
Lian Po, Wang Jian, and Meng Ao were the three generals of the Qin army.
"Chu people are still breathing, so they have some confidence."
Lian Po said: "It seems that this battle can still be fought."
"The people of Chu have accumulated a lot of experience during the eight hundred years of national development. After moving the capital to Shouchun, they spent many years laying out the protective wall buried under the city wall, which is called the Zhenguo Wall.
It was induced by the Chu people with the Zhenguo Bell, which is actually as expected."
Wang Jian said calmly: "Let's see how the city changes."
Meng Ao was slightly surprised: "There are other arrangements in the city? Have people from Ye Yufu entered the city?"
Wang Jian nodded slightly.
Shouchun.
Li Yuan looked panicked and quickly entered the palace of King Chu to meet King Xiong Han.
"Uncle, how is the situation when the Qin army attacks the city?" Xiong Han asked urgently.
The Zhenguo Bell hung beside him. At the last moment, it seemed that only this Zhenguo Fairy Bell could bring him a sense of security.
Next to him stood two old men dressed as servants, with powerful auras.
Li Yuan looked dejected and shook his head slightly: "The Qin army is attacking the city with all its strength!
The two war bronze figures hurled mountains at the city, breaking down the city defenses in a short period of time and destroying the west wall."
"If it hadn't been for the ringing of the Zhenguo Bell, I'm afraid the Qin army would have already invaded the city."
Li Yuan suddenly knelt down slowly: "Your Majesty, this city... I'm afraid we can't defend it.
Your Majesty, Li Yuan, asks your Majesty to put Chu as your top priority and leave the palace as soon as possible and leave Shouchun!"
To be continued...
