Heavy rain in September filled the river, which was gradually bottoming out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This heavy rain swept through most of the southeast of the Moon Continent, and the rain came suddenly and violently, sweeping from west to east.

Fortunately, the rain came quickly and quickly but lasted for a short time, otherwise there would have been a flood.

Despite this, in most areas, it was the time of the autumn grain harvest, and the heavy rain also caused great damage.

The water level of the Chenjiang and Lijiang rivers soared in an instant, and the dozens of pontoon bridges that the Qin army had managed to erect were washed away in the blink of an eye.

Wu Yue looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Alas, God will not help me. ”

Millions of troops have been stationed on the north bank of the Chen River and the Li River for several months, and the huge amount of money and grain consumed every day is not something that ordinary small vassal states can afford, even the Great Qin State, which has sufficient food and grass, is a little tight.

Wu Yuehou was anxious, but he was also very cautious, and the pontoon bridge was erected but he did not give the order to cross the river.

There are two rivers in front of them, the Chen River and the Li River, the Chen River is actually a fork of the Li River, in the upper reaches of the Chen River, the place where the Chen River forks are separated, the Li River is wide and gentle, there are 500,000 troops of the Qin State, including 30,000 water troops, but the Qin State Navy is indeed very weak, and they are called the water army, they should be called sailors, and they can support the boat to ferry.

Wu Yuehou's intention was obvious, and he planned to cross the Li River with 470,000 elite soldiers in boats here.

Originally, there was a stone bridge hundreds of miles away from here, and Wu Yuehou also planned to seize the stone bridge, but the Bashu Kingdom, the Baling Kingdom and the Stone Bridge Belonging State Zongye State actually joined forces and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to display the borders of the Zongye State, because the Qin Emperor had not planned to break with the Bashu State, so he did not dare to attack the Zongye State and the Baling State with the strong support of the Bashu State.

There was no way, Wu Yuehou had to find a way to cross the river in Shangcheng Kingdom.

Shangcheng State is now basically annihilated, a small vassal state stationed in the Qin State millions of troops, people eat horses and chew and add to the scourge, the city houses closer to the Li River have been demolished, the wood is used to build pontoon bridges, the people are displaced, persecuted to death or flee from their homes, most of the Shangcheng State only see the Qin army, not the Li people.

On the other side of the Chen River is Wuwei Country, where there is a lot of water.

Wuyanghou once occupied there and slaughtered the subjects of Wuwei State, causing thousands of miles of terracotta, and the coalition army with the strong support of Zhang Xian on his back was defeated.

Later, the Marquis of Jinyang also almost occupied the southern Suli country, but was also defeated and retreated to the north bank of the Li River.

Later, Zhang Xian presided over the armistice negotiations between the coalition forces and the Qin State, and forced the Marquis of Jinyang to withdraw from the border of Wuwei State and return to the north bank of the Chen River.

So much so that when Wuyue Hou arrived, the two southern expeditions of the Qin army, which had lost a million people, returned to the original point.

"This year, the weather is abnormal, the south is rainy, the north is dry, and the northern nomadic vassal still occupies the land of two counties, and it should not have used troops against the southeast, but, alas, 、、、"

Jin Yanghou did not leave, but was dismissed from the right of commander-in-chief, to Wu Yuehou as an assistant, he accompanied Wu Yuehou to stand by the river to check the water potential, seeing the river surging, the built pontoon bridge was washed away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Yuehou glanced at Jinyang Hou and shook his head.

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, do your best to obey the mandate of heaven. ”

Although the Qin army is strong, it is in the northwest, but in the south, there has not been a decent victory so far, and the climate and geographical environment are completely different from the northwest, so that the Qin soldiers are not adapted, and the commander does not understand the climate change here, and the human geography is not very well-understood, so he cannot give full play to his ability.

Wu Yuehou was also very helpless, and the envoy of Emperor Qin came with three urging soldiers in a row, but this ghost weather gave Wu Yuehou a headache, and after the heavy rain, it rained lightly one after another.

For hundreds of miles, there is not even much firewood for cooking.

Shangcheng is very small, there are many plains, there are few trees, and now even the future and harvest of the dealer are cut to feed the horses as firewood.

After this war, no matter who wins or loses, unless there is foreign aid, it will be difficult for Shangchengguo to recover even for decades, and both the population and infrastructure will be destroyed.

"It is reported that the fourth envoy is on the way, and it will not take ten days to arrive, how do you deal with it?"

Even after forcibly crossing the river regardless of losses, the victory rate is not optimistic in this rainy and rainy weather, and the victory rate is not optimistic.

A big war does not necessarily mean that a large number of people will have an advantage, and the terrain is complicated, which is not conducive to the operation of large corps, and it cannot be carried out at all.

If it is on the border of the Qin State, most of the places are still suitable for large army operations, because it is dry and flat, and there are not so many rivers and lakes.

Therefore, the Qin State was generally invincible and invincible in the northwest.

First, the people of Qin have a strong physique, and secondly, the terrain is not so complicated, plus Qin has a large population, a surplus treasury, advanced weapons, and a huge power in the battle array, the most powerful is the arrow array.

But in the south, their advantage was weakened by more than half at once.

The cavalry could not exert its original power in the land of water, and the battle array could not be deployed in the limited narrow dry land, and the crossbowmen were damp because of the humidity in the south, which caused the bowstring to be damp, the tension decreased, and even scrapped, so that the power of the arrow array was reduced by half again.

There are many kinds of deadly parasites in the southern waters, millions of people and tens of thousands of horses are not adapted, and many people and horses have died without fighting in the past few months, and there are even more sick people.

Because of the lack of firewood, it is impossible for so many people and horses to boil water for drinking, so the sick ones and the spread of the plague made Wu Yuehou very anxious.

Hearing that the Marquis of Jin Yang said that the four envoys were about to arrive again, this made him upset and had a headache.

"When I first came, I was puzzled by your failure, but after I arrived here, I felt it firsthand, and suddenly felt your helplessness, and those old bastards in the military department knew that they were sitting in the high hall and talking, thinking that as soon as the imperial army arrived, the army of these small princes would not flee from the wind, and the imperial army would easily sweep through the southeast, hehe,"

Wu Yuehou sneered and continued.

"Over the years, the empire has indeed been very strong, the army is invincible, and it has destroyed several small princes around the empire, which makes those bigwigs tilt their heads up to the sky and despise everything, alas, we are also carried away by the victory, ignoring the places that dare not be ignored.

In the past, we fought in a place that we were very familiar with, but this southern expedition ignored three important factors, the right time, place and people, so Wuyang failed, you failed, and I don't know what the result was. ”

Wu Yuehou's mood was a little low, Jin Yang Hou frowned, he knew Wu Yuehou, this person never gave up, and his ability was stronger than himself, but now he was also pessimistic about the prospects, how could this battle be fought、、、
