Xiang Yi was also very clear that at this time, facing the Qin army suddenly appeared outside the city, it was no longer possible to hold the scout or the culprit Xiang Bo accountable.
Now, the biggest threat is not the Qin army outside the city, but the tens of thousands of Chu army in the city who have lost all their courage to face the Qin army. Of course, if they can be called soldiers.
Looking at the Heisen Qin army crushing under the city wall with Mount Tai crushing the top, Xiang Yi looked at the two trembling, crooked armor and slanted helmets on the city wall, and felt a little powerless.
The comparison is too clear.
At this time, Xiang Yi had already confirmed that General Xiang Liang had obtained the information that he had obviously misunderstood, or that it was not detailed at all. Because he only said that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army went out to Hangu Pass and Wu respectively.
When Guan went south, he did not mention whether the Qin army was elite, whether it was a cavalry or an infantryman.
However, Xiang Yi had seen the Qin army under the city wall. The location of the Xuanwu Army was when Xiang Liang traveled thousands of miles to Chengwu and wanted to kill Hu Hai.
However, that time, the Xuanwu Army General, who followed Hu Hai's secret tour of the eastern region, had only 2,000 people. Although the combat power of the Xuanwu Army in that battle made Xiang Liang and other Chu generals tremble, they also did not.
Not too much caring.
After all, although the Xuanwu Army had unrivaled defense and invincible attacks in that battle, it also exposed a large number of flaws.
Such a heavy armor, not to mention the geometry that it takes to create, can really put this heavy armor on your body and move freely and move freely, and can go into battle to kill the enemy?
Moreover, Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang and others also discovered the defects of the heavy armored infantry in the face of the weather and terrain from Xiang Yu. Such heavy armor and all over their bodies. They are afraid they don’t have to go to the battlefield when it’s hot.
Just putting it on can suffocate people to death. If you are fighting on the battlefield, you may have been suffocated by the armor before you take two steps. In winter, when the temperature is too low, soldiers
Keeping warm is also a big problem.
The armor is so heavy that it not only requires high standards for soldiers, but also for terrain. Plains and mountain climbing are obviously not the same concept. Drought land and wetlands are even more different.
The place where the heavy armor infantry can be displayed is obviously best if it is not too hot or the weather is not too cold, and it is also on the plains and muddy areas. Both mobility and limitations limit the heavy armor stage.
The power of the pawn...
Such numerous flaws made Xiang Liang and others believe that even if the Qin army trained some soldiers covered with heavy armor and defended against unparalleled attacks, there would definitely not be too many.
The role that thousands of heavy armor infantry can play when facing a melee of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting is really limited, especially in specific terrain and weather. After all, heavy armor infantry has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
It's also extremely obvious.
So from the beginning, when Cheng Wu discovered that the group of soldiers who appeared beside Hu Hai, including their heads and faces were wrapped in armor, Xiang Liang was shocked at first, and then after seeing the defects of the heavy armored infantry of the Great Qin Dynasty, he did not have much effect.
I care too much.
In the eyes of Xiang Liang and others, having such flaws means that the Qin army cannot spend too much effort and money to specifically build such an army.
However, the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who appeared under Anfeng City, Xiang Yi looked around and looked like the heavy armored Qin soldiers who had appeared in Chengwu County, covered with cold black heavy armor.
The one holding in his hand was also the hideous terrifying stick.
Obviously, both Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng and others had miscalculated. The Qin army not only really formed such a heavy armored soldier. The number of people was far beyond everyone's expectations, and there were a lot of people
A crowd of thousands.
Tens of thousands of infantry covered with heavy armor, and now it is late autumn. The weather is no longer as hot as it was in Chengwu. Although Jiujiang belongs to the south of the Yangtze River and has dense river networks, most of them are plains and wilderness.
The mountains and ridges just gave these bulky heavy armored infantry an opportunity to exert their power.
Tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry can basically control a war of hundreds of thousands of people.
Just looking at the strict formation of the Qin army's heavy armored infantry that was slowly approaching the city, Xiang Yi knew in his heart that the mob of more than 70,000 people in his city could not resist these Qin troops.
Even if the attack is added to the more than 100,000 troops in Shouchun, which are more elite than the soldiers in Anfeng City, and encounters these Qin troops in the wilderness, Xiang Yi still has no clue at all.
In Xiang Yi's impression, there seemed to be no army in the entire Chu State able to fight against such a Qin army in the wilderness under normal weather. Even the entire Xiang clan was the eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers of the general Xiang Yan.
Nearly 100,000 elites built for templates are also not possible.
Because Xiang Yi saw the cavalry marching on the left and right sides of the Xuanwu Army formation, even the horses were wearing iron armor.
Looking at the getting closer and closer, the Qin soldiers with only two cold eyes exposed on their bodies, although they are still thousands of steps away, the mountain-like pressure has already put the entire Anfeng City city.
All the Chu soldiers above felt breathless.
As the Qin army advanced, with the rumbling sound, it seemed that even the low-high walls of Anfeng City were trembling.
This is a group of demons from hell.
The state of Chu was restored, with Kuaiji and Jiujiang first, and then the four counties of Fujian, Changsha, Qianzhong and Donghai were surrendered, so that the new Chu had basically restored its homeland, but its military strength was the same as the original Chu.
The country cannot be compared.
When Wang Jian destroyed Chu, the Chu general Xiang Yan had an elite of 600,000 people, which was not counted as the few soldiers guarding the city stationed in various counties. Now the Chu State has only more than 400,000 places in the country.
Just soldiers, and the quality is still mixed.
More importantly, all of these more than 400,000 soldiers gathered in Jiujiang or the current capital of Shouchun. In the remaining counties, except for Kuaiji, which has tens of thousands of troops left as the nest of the Xiang clan, the rest
All counties basically just change the flags, with few changes, let alone sending troops to effectively manage and control them.
More than 400,000 Chu troops, Xiang Yu led 100,000 troops to the north from the East China Sea. Xiang Liang led almost all the elite Chu troops to cross the Huai River and wanted to cross the Huai River before the Qin army arrived south, and the army had already occupied the north bank of the Huai River for more than a month.
Xiang Yi, a member of the Xiang clan, knew very well the plan of defeating and even killing the 200,000 Qin troops.
Now, there are basically no soldiers belonging to the Xiang clan near Shouchun. All the remaining more than 100,000 soldiers are controlled by the Zhaoqujing tribe. Xiang Yi himself looks down on the more than 100,000 soldiers, let alone those more than 100,000 soldiers.
It is said that they are facing these elite Qin troops who are like wolves and tigers.
Xiang Yi knew very well that the biggest reliance of the empty Chu State in its territory was Anfeng and Shouchun, two seemingly strong city walls. Anfeng City is also the last barrier of the capital Shouchun.
If Anfeng City is lost, then the Qin army, whose name is Wu Pass, will be able to point straight to Shouchun in just a few hours at the latest.
Xiang Yi did not value his life very much. What he was worried about was that the Qin army, which had originally been able to arrive in two days, had already appeared under Anfeng City two days in advance.
So does it mean that the Qin army heading south from Hangu Pass has arrived at the south bank of the Huai River in advance?
You should know that it is a little further away from Xianyang to Wu Pass and then to Jiujiang than from Xianyang to Hangu Pass, directly south to Chenjun.
Whether the 100,000 troops controlled by the Zhaoqu and Jing tribes can defend Shouchun City or whether they can persist until Xiang Liang returns, these are actually not important in Xiang Yi's eyes.
Now the Xiang clan members are no longer the Xiang clan who is loyal to the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. The importance of the Xiang clan is in the hearts of the young people of the Xiang clan. It also far exceeds the importance of the survival of the Chu Kingdom.
.
In their opinion, whether the Chu State was destroyed or not was not important. What mattered was the safety of the Xiang family.
Shouchun lost, and the Qin army killed the three tribes of Zhao Qujing and the King of Chu who was born with the cowherd, which just made it easier for the Xiang clan to establish itself as king. This was not only Xiang Yi's plan. I'm afraid that all the Xiang clan members would be the ones.
In his realm, the first thing that comes to mind is the Xiang clan.
Xiang Yi actually wanted to let the Qin army enter the city like this. Then he took Xiang Bo away and let the three tribes of Zhao Qu Jing fight to the death with the Qin army.
However, now that Xiang Liang has crossed the Huai River, his messenger will be able to cross the Huai River at night or tomorrow to meet Xiang Liang. It is also the current situation of Anfeng City and the suspicion in his heart.
What I was most worried about was that the Qin army's army heading south from Hangu Pass had already reached the north bank of the Huai River or would arrive in advance.
If the Qin army had reached the camp on the north bank of the Huai River, Xiang Yi would no longer dare to imagine the consequences; if the Qin army had not arrived or was about to reach the camp on the north bank of the Huai River, then Xiang Yi only hoped that his messenger could catch up with him first
Xiang Liang told him his guess.
By now, Xiang Yi has keenly realized that the State of Chu and his own Xiang clan have reached the verge of life and death.
One wrong step will lead to a loss!
The only thing Xiang Yi can do now is to try his best to delay the Qin army in Anfeng City. He is not so arrogant that he really defends Anfeng with tens of thousands of old, weak and remnants as he told Xiang Bo.
city.
If you want to defend Anfeng City, you can only hope that the Zhaoqu and Jing tribes in Shouchun can see the situation, give up the conflicts of the same Xiang tribe, and don’t put down the wrongs. Send reinforcements as soon as possible to have a glimmer of hope!
"Brothers, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. Now we have nearly 100,000 troops and more than 100,000 people in the city. We have enough food and grass, and there are countless rolling stones and woods. We only need to hold on for a few hours, the king and
The general will send reinforcements! If the tyrant Qin breaks the city, we will not only die, but also all your wives, children, and children will be killed by the tyrant Qin! Only now is the only way to fight you!..."
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The rumbling sound of war drums suddenly sounded from behind the Qin army formation under the city wall, rolling up endless sounds and sounds, combined with the rumbling footsteps of the Xuanwu Army infantry, rolling in.
