Xiang Yan was indeed a famous general. He would rather let the Dong Chu State bear the logistical pressure that was tense to the limit, and to target the weaknesses of the Qin army, he would camp and establish a village along the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Huai River.
However, Wang Jian is also a well-deserved general, a famous general stronger than Xiang Yan. Moreover, the Qin army is stronger than the Eastern Chu army, and the Qin State's national strength is even more comparable to that of the Eastern Chu State.
Therefore, the two armies fought for only three days, and the military camp established by Xiang Yan on both sides of the Huai River was broken by the Qin army with lightning speed.
At this time, the strength of the Qin army was truly reflected. The strength of the Qin army was not only strong in the soldiers, but also in the strength of middle-level officers.
Qin destroyed the four countries and included the power of the five countries. The real elites in the four countries' armies can be said to have been absorbed by the Qin army. When these people appeared in an army, for the combat power of the army.
, it can be said to be a transformation.
What Xiang Yan expected happened. The Qin army was uneven due to the reason why it came from all over the Qin State's territory within a radius of 3,000 miles. However, he did not expect that the uneven combat power of the Qin army was only relative to
For oneself, not for the Eastern Chu Army.
In fact, even the Qin army, which had the weakest combat power, was enough to compete with the elite of the Chu army.
What made the Eastern Chu army even more desperate was that the Qin army's machinery and equipment had reached an extremely exaggerated level. Each school's three thousand soldiers were equipped with the Hundred War Gods crossbows that had long been better than the past, and each one was a squadron.
The army of ten thousand people is equipped with no less than thirty mechanical beasts.
In the face of this absolute combat power that transcends the dimension, the dangers of mountains, rivers and rivers that the Eastern Chu army relies on have completely become useless.
What really made Xiang Yan desperate was that although the Qin army was huge in scale and launched an attack on the Eastern Chu State on a front that exceeded thousands of miles, there was no flaw in the coordination of command.
The cooperation of the Qin army and the transmission of news from each other far exceeded Xiang Yan's imagination, which made his original plan unable to be implemented at all. He could only watch the camps of the East Chu army one by one.
The Qin army captured it but was powerless.
At this time, there was still a hundred thousand army in his hands. This was the real elite of the Eastern Chu army. In his original plan, he originally wanted to find the opportunity to find the flaws of the Qin army after the Qin army was divided, and then use this
One hundred thousand elite troops raided the Qin army, severely damaged a part of the Qin army, and then tore the Qin army's front line, and then defeated the Qin army that was in chaos.
However, although the plan was good, there was no chance to perform it in the face of cruelty. Although the Qin army divided the troops, their cooperation between them left no flaws.
Although Xiang Yan had a hundred thousand troops in his hands, he could not find any chance to take action.
"But have you discovered how the Qin army conveyed military information?" Xiang Yan, who had just been working for a few days, asked Xiang Liang, who was a decades-old son in charge of military information.
"It has been discovered that the tool used by the Qin army to convey military intelligence was the Mohist flying organ beast." Xiang Liangdao.
"The Mo family's flying mechanism beast? How could it be? How could there be so many flying mechanism beasts in Qin State?" Xiang Yan stroked his forehead and said.
He already knew that the State of Chu had no chance at all.
"No one knows that in the war between the Qin army's attack and destruction of Zhao and Wei several years ago, the Qin army used the mechanical beasts more often. However, the scale of the Qin army's use of mechanical beasts is larger now." Xiang Liang said worriedly.
.
At this time, the gap in combat power between the Qin and Chu armies was so great that it was no longer a gap that personal command could make up for.
"The Qin army has no flaws, and the only thing left is to fight by battle." Xiang Yan said.
"Father, are you going to fight the Qin army now?" Xiang Liang asked.
"Yes, the decisive battle is time." Xiang Yan said.
"Do we have a chance to win?" Xiang Liang asked, but he could not see even a glimmer of hope on his face.
"I can't win, but the Chu State now cannot win." Xiang Yan said.
"The power of Qin State is even beyond my imagination. That kind of power is that it exceeds time. Compared with Qin State, we are too far behind it." Xiang Yan said, not as if he had admitted it.
"Why are you, Father?" Xiang Liang said as he failed to continue the second half of the sentence.
"I know it's a doomed defeated attack, but why do I still have to fight?" Xiang Yan said.
"Yes, why did my father fight even though he knew it would be a battle that would be defeated?" Xiang Liang said.
"Because of hope and courage." Xiang Yan said.
"Hope and courage?" Xiang Liang said in surprise.
Hundreds of thousands of people are fighting here for such a thing? In Xiang Liang's mind, he is full of doubts.
"The power of Qin is only for a moment. He cannot be strong forever. As long as he is weak, we will get a chance. However, this waiting process must be long. How can we survive this long waiting process? Hope and courage
That's the key." Xiang Yan said.
"Did my father want to use the blood of the 400,000 army to ignite the hope and courage of the people of Chu?" Xiang Liang said, his face had changed, because, in his words, 400,000 is not a number, but a piece of fresh one by one, but a piece of fresh one.
Living life is enough to dye the blood of the Huai River red.
"Yes." Xiang Yan said in a narrow voice.
"Father, that's not hope or courage, it's blood, life, and hatred." Xiang Liang completely turned his face at this time.
He was shocked and afraid of Xiang Yan's determination.
"You are right, it is blood, life, and hatred. The flame of hatred is the most lasting, most vigorous, most lasting, and most terrifying flame in the world. Do you understand?" Xiang Yan said.
"Do you burn your own flame?" Xiang Liang said in a tone.
At Xiang Yan's age, he could think about his own way of dying, but for Xiang Liang's current age, he considered more about how to live.
In mid-April of the 17th year of King Zheng of Qin, after nearly a month of fighting, the Qin army pulled out all the camps of the East Chu army on both sides of the Huai River, and then went down the river toward the capital of Shouchun, the Eastern Chu capital.
At the same time, the Qin army's southern army Wang Ben's troops had also captured the Jiangdong area of the Eastern Chu State. Then, from the river, we went north along the Hangou built when the Wu State defeated Qi, and led the waterway of the emperor and ministers of the Eastern Chu State fled south in Shouchun.
, all land blockades.
For a time, 300,000 Qin troops gathered at the city of Shouchun, and more than 200,000 Qin troops began to attack cities in the territory of Eastern Chu with the captured Dongchu army camp as the center.
Xianyang.
"King, what are you looking at?" In front of Xianyang Palace, Yan Lingji looked at Ying Zheng, whose eyes were on the distant sky, in confusion.
"I am alone looking at the State of Chu." Ying Zheng said.
"Chu State? King, there is no Chu State there, it is obvious that it only has white clouds." Yan Lingji looked along Ying Zheng's gaze, but what she saw was not what Ying Zheng mentioned.
"You are standing too low." Ying Zheng said.
"It's the king who saw too far." Yan Lingji defended.
