Chapter 308: Breaking the Cauldron (End)
Dangdangdang.
The sound of weapons clashing was constantly heard in the sky, dozens of figures kept fighting in the air, and from time to time someone fell from the sky, looking at the situation, it was obvious that they could not live.
"Xiaoyaozi, you still don't seem to give up. "Zhengang is standing on top of the Suzaku of the Mechanism, and the Zhengang Sword is pointing directly at Xiaoyaozi in front of him, and Xiaoyaozi is also standing on the Suzaku of the Agency.
"You and I have fought several times, and now it seems that the Six Sword Slaves are nothing more than that. Xiaoyaozi said lightly.
"I hope your sword is the same as your mouth. Zhengang said, his body jumped, and Zhengang's sword slashed straight down.
"You'll get it. Xiaoyaozi jumped up at the same time.
"Zhang Liang of Qilu Sanjie, I didn't expect that his martial arts were not very good, but his sword was good. Holding the twin swords, he sneered at Zhang Liang not far away, as well as the Ling Xuan Sword in Zhang Liang's hand.
"I heard that you are the weakest martial artist among the six sword slaves, I don't know if it's true. Zhang Liang smiled gently.
"It is worthy of Confucianism, and his mouth is sharp. Zhang Liang's words made the dragon angry and rushed towards Zhang Liang immediately.
Roar.
With a roar like a fierce tiger, a powerful tiger-shaped sword qi directly smashed a Vermilion Bird with one blow, and a middle-aged man with a scar on his eye looked coldly at Wu Kuang, who was constantly falling in front of him.
Losing the Vermilion Bird under his feet, Wu Kuang could only fall from the air unwillingly, and at the same time, the middle-aged man immediately jumped off the Vermilion Bird and chased down.
"Second brother, the eldest brother has solved it, don't waste time. On the other side of the Suzaku, a thin middle-aged man shouted at the man on the Suzaku on the left.
"Then let's do it quickly. "The man on the left is a big man, and so is his opponent, Juque Shengqi.
"Juque, who is known as the supreme of the sword, really wants to see it. The giant man looked at the opposite side of Shengqi coldly, and with a turn of the sword in his hand, the blood-colored sword qi flashed on the sword, and at the same time, the sky around the giant man suddenly darkened
"Occultation. Sheng Qi stared at the giant man fiercely, as well as the sword in his hand, and the powerful true qi continued to urge the giant in his hand.
Rumble.
With the collision of Juque and the Occult Sun, the powerful sword qi made the surrounding Vermilion Birds have to avoid the center of the collision between the Juque and the Occultation Sun.
"I'm sure I'll win next time. After leaving these words, Katsuchi immediately fell quickly towards the ground.
"Next time will be your death. The giant man reached out and grabbed a chain that had been thrown over, and with a single force, jumped onto a Suzaku and said to Katsuchi, who could only see the shadow.
In the battle in mid-air, as Shengqi and Wu Kuang left the battlefield, Zhang Liang and the others immediately began to retreat, and the imperial side just looked at the retreating Zhang Liang and the others coldly, and did not chase down.
This is not the first time they have fought each other, since Ye Wuji burned the grain and grass of the anti-Qin forces with a monstrous fire, almost every few days, they will fight.
"Let them come. Zhen Gang turned his hand and inserted the sword behind his back, and with a wave of his hand, an assassin immediately launched a fire meteor into the air, informing the people behind that the battle was over.
It didn't take long for a large number of huge hot air balloons to emerge from behind, slowly approaching here.
The hot air balloon was loaded with a large amount of grain, grass, weapons and equipment, abandoning the traditional carriage and horse transportation, and the empire used Suzaku and hot air balloons to send logistics equipment to the front.
The powerful airlift capability made the anti-Qin forces' plan to sabotage the empire's logistics one after another be stillborn before it could be implemented.
According to the plans of Zhang Liang, Tian Yan, Han Xin, Fan Zeng and others, the sudden rebellion, the empire must not be able to react, even if the empire has enough logistics equipment, but if it wants to transport it to the front line, the manpower needed is something that the empire can't get now.
In a battle in this era, more logisticians are used than soldiers fighting on the front line.
Like when Wang Jian had an army of 600,000 to attack the Chu State, the people and servants used were more than one million, and basically ordinary civilian adult men were forced to participate in the war.
Ying Zheng's destruction of the Six Kingdoms in such a short period of time also almost exhausted the grain and grass that the empire had accumulated with Zheng Guoqu before, and Han Fei's tired Qin plan was actually Ying Zheng's plan.
If there is no large amount of grain and grass produced by Zheng Guoqu, even if Yingzheng can only eliminate the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei at most, he will have to face a shortage of grain and grass.
In ancient times, if there was a war, there would definitely be a stable period of several years after that, because the food and grass were not enough to support continuous wars.
In the Battle of Changping that year, in fact, even if Bai Qi was not assassinated, the Qin State would not have destroyed the Zhao State, nor could it destroy the Zhao State, because this war had almost exhausted the grain and grass of the Qin State, and it was not enough to support a big war.
If it was just a pure destruction of Zhao, Qin could do it, but at that time, Qin was not only facing Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu, but also after the Battle of Changping, they were also ready to go, and they would not allow Qin to annex Zhao.
Because the Qin State was originally barren and accumulated several generations of savings, it could only fight a Changping War, while the Zhao State was different, most of the Zhao State was a plain, and the grain and grass production was abundant.
The Battle of Changping, most of them only know that Bai Qi's pit killed 400,000, and Zhao Kuo's talk on paper, but in fact, the Battle of Changping was widely implicated, far beyond other people's imagination.
The Qin State used Bai Qi and Wei Zi two generals, and all kinds of schemes were frequently used to win the war.
In the calculations of Zhang Liang and others, Meng Tian's 300,000 golden fire cavalry, plus a large number of auxiliary soldiers in the Yinshan grassland, and the 300,000 armor-piercing soldiers of the Wang clan in the Chu State, although there were no auxiliary soldiers, but in this calculation, the Qin State directly lost one million people.
In addition, there are also dog Rong clans, and there are also a lot of people on the side of the Anxi Town Army, and the only people that Ye Wuji can call are the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, this forbidden army, plus a small number of local troops, and the recruits of the Blue Mountain Battalion.
Ying Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State had already suffered heavy losses, and after removing these people, it was impossible for Ye Wuji to supply enough logistics to the front line even if he was powerful, and even if the empire had enough logistics, no one would send these logistics to the battlefield.
Unless Ye Wuji is desperate to push all the remaining Great Qin people to the battlefield, but in this way, there is no need for Zhang Liang to do it, and the empire will mutiny itself.
It is precisely this kind of calculation that allows them to see the super strength of Ye Wuji, and they also have full confidence to destroy the empire, no matter how strong you are, it will not help you to rule the world.
But when they saw the empire's new logistics and transportation methods, they immediately fainted, and they didn't expect this kind of transportation at all.
At the beginning, Zhang Liang and the others were still preparing to use Suzaku to intercept these logistics, but the empire didn't know why, they could always find the route they intercepted, either turn around in advance and rescue them, or there were a large number of masters waiting for them.
No matter how powerful Zhang Liang and the others were, it was impossible to block the entire air, and in the end Zhang Liang and the others had to give up intercepting the grain and grass of the empire.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the hot air balloon, Ye Wuji would probably have to be a logistics staff himself, transporting grain and grass to the front line.
Just as Zhang Liang and others calculated, Ye Wuji also knew the predicament faced by the empire, even better than Zhang Liang knew.
After years of conquest of the empire, the residents of the Qin State have long been complaining, and if it weren't for the prestige of Yingzheng to suppress them, I am afraid that they would have been in turmoil long ago.
Why did Ying Zheng know that those soldiers who surrendered would not be truly loyal to the empire, but still accepted them, Ying Zheng also knew this problem, in fact, this problem is also very simple, as long as you cultivate for a few years, you can do it, but the problem is that there is no time.
Under such a problem, of course, Ye Wuji can't recruit people and labor to transport food, they have already given enough to this empire.
Both the empire and the anti-Qin forces were calculating each other's logistics, and in the end, they were still on top of each other.
Zhang Liang and the others were not ready to rob the empire's logistics again to replenish themselves until their grain and grass were destroyed, but unfortunately they did not succeed once.
Even if the first time they started, Zhang Liang and the others chose several top masters to shoot at the same time, but they were not successful, and the hot air balloon logistics of the empire found them far away and turned around and ran.
Although Zhang Liang, Tian Yan and others were very puzzled about how the empire found them, their plans did not stop, and they kept patrolling the air, hoping to find the logistics of the empire.
It's a pity that the empire's logistics Zhang Liang and others didn't find it, and it was the assassins who caught the net who found them, and then the two sides continued to fight in the air.
Zhang Liang and the others didn't know where to find a few top masters, plus Xiaoyaozi, Sheng Qi, Wu Kuang, and seven or eight top masters.
But the reinforcements of the empire also arrived, and the first-class assassins of Tianzi in the net continued to join, so that the anti-Qin forces did not reap the slightest benefit.
Occasionally, the Assassin will immediately run away with Suzaku and come back next time.
"Damn, I didn't expect so many masters in the empire, even the three brothers of the Tie clan were caught in the net. Zhang Liang, who retreated, was very unwilling, this time they mobilized more masters, but the same was true for the empire.
"The three brothers of the Tie Clan, who are they?" Tian Yan and the others looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, for the three new first-class masters of the Heavenly Character in the empire, it was obvious that Zhang Liang knew more than them.
"They are Baiyue people, and each of them is a top master. Zhang Liang slowly told the origin of the three Tie brothers.
The three heroes of the Tie clan, the Iron Tiger, the Iron Leopard, and the Iron Wolf, it is said that they were gifted when they were born, and they were once prepared to subdue them by natural selection, but they were unsuccessful.
Now they are the tigers of the empire's nets, the sun covering, and the stunning, these three famous swords, now they belong to the three of them.
"In that case, forget it, anyway, I just wanted to use this as a cover to attract the attention of the Empire, so that we could hide from the world. "I have to say, there are thirty-six strategies, and now there is no soldier who does not know.
"Now that you're all set, get ready to do it. Zhang Liang nodded.
It is better to be able to take away the logistics of the empire, but it can also make the people of the empire think that they are exhausted, and they can only rely on this method to get through the difficulties, in order to conceal their true purpose and carry out the plan to destroy the ship.
Breaking the kettle and sinking the boat is a tactic that becomes a beneficiary if it is not successful, but it is not a simple tool for smashing the cooking as mentioned in the book, and only leaving a few days of grain and grass.
If there is really a boss who thinks it is so simple, then what awaits him can only be the mutiny of the soldiers, and ordinary soldiers can think so far.
There are many reasons why Xiang Yu's shipwreck can succeed in history, and the art of war involved is not simple, Xiang Yu put forward a good one, but it is perfected by Fan Zeng, of course, Xiang Yu's bravery is also an inevitable factor in victory.
"General Qiyu, there is an abnormal movement on the enemy. In Yingchuan County, a young lieutenant general reported the situation observed in front to Bai Qi, who was sitting in the tent.
"Is it all or nothing?" Bai Qi sneered at the map on the wall, this kind of tactic may not be able to be seen through by other people for a while, but unfortunately it is Bai Qi who met on the other side, he used this tactic to break through the Chu capital at that time in a battle, and Qu Yuan committed suicide because of this defeat under Bai Qi's hands.
Many people know that Qu Yuan is a great poet, and there is a connection between the Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan, but few people know Qu Yuan's family background, Qu Yuan is a disciple of the family.
It may be ironic, but if you take a closer look at the famous figures in history, you will know that basically none of these people are real commoners, at least they are rich families.
The real poor disciples of the poor family are very few at all.
Even if there are talented geniuses in the poor family, they will be drowned in a life of inaction, and the most basic thing for those who can do literature in ancient times is to have no worries about food and clothing.
But it's also normal, when you're still worried about survival, they're already thinking about the future, not to mention that they're not so talented and so much better than you.
"You can come out. After the lieutenant left, Bai Qi said to the screen.
With Bai Qi's words, two figures walked out from behind the screen, and these two people were Li Mu and Zhang Han.
"Now that the other party has already made a move, it is time for us to act, this time we must completely defeat them, and not give them a chance to turn over. Bai Qi said coldly.
"Yes. Zhang Han and Li Mu responded at the same time.
In terms of status and status, Zhang Han and Li Mu are no worse than Bai Qi, but Bai Qi has a dragon-shaped talisman representing His Majesty the Emperor in his hand, which means that Bai Qi can control the army of the entire empire.
"Three-way attack?" Bai Qi said with a sneer as he stood on the city wall, looking at the dust raised on three sides.
"Kill. "Directly in front of Shaoyu with the entire army of the Xiang clan, rushing towards Yingchuan County like a tide, at the same time on the left and right, on the left is Han Xin with hundreds of thousands of troops from the peasants and other forces, and on the right is Wang Li with 200,000 hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers.
Such an offensive, if it is replaced by the previous defense of Yingchuan County, even Bai Qiye will not be able to hold it, and the difference in strength is too great.
"It's really hateful to want to cooperate with the Xiang clan. The young Wang Li looked at the direction of the Xiang clan with a disdainful expression, if it weren't for the lack of food and grass this time, and the attack on Baiyue was seriously frustrated, how could they cooperate with the Xiang clan to attack Yingchuan County together.
In Wang Li's opinion, the so-called three major legions of the Chu State are just waste, and all of them are defeated under his Wang clan's hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers.
With so many people attacking Yingchuan County, so many days without success, it is too much waste, if it is replaced by his hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers, he can break through Yingchuan County in one day.
Mr. Bai, in Wang Li's opinion, is just that the empire really can't find a good general, so he is just bluffing.
"As long as there is enough food and grass, maybe my Wang clan can also try that position. In Wang Li's opinion, except for the golden fire cavalry of the Meng family, which is worthy of a battle, the rest of the people are not vulnerable at all.
Originally, the Wang family, who only wanted to tear the earth and seal the king, was also interested in the supreme position for a moment, and the Wang family had been sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and the land and resources of the Chu State were enough to support the Wang family's battle, but unfortunately a fire destroyed all the grain and grass that the Wang family had painstakingly collected.
This time to cooperate with other anti-Qin forces, the Wang family was also forced to do so, Chu's resistance became increasingly fierce, and they wanted to get grain and grass from Baiyue, but unfortunately the people of Baiyue retreated to the mountains, and for a while, the Wang family also had no way to take the Baiyue people.
Baiyue, if you don't say that you want to conquer Baiyue with the help of Pyro-Jade, Flame Lingji, it is also a very troublesome thing, in the mountainous jungle, Baiyue's witchcraft can be maximized.
"General, the other two sides have already moved, whether to start the offensive or not. Just when Wang Li was thinking about a bright future, a young general walked up to Wang Li's horse and saluted respectfully.
"Wait a minute, just look at their strength. Wang Li said arrogantly.
"General, I'm afraid this is not good, after all, if they fail, our side will not benefit. The adjutant on one side immediately persuaded.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure, just a Yingchuan County, I can catch it at all. Wang Li said impatiently.
"Yes. The adjutant general could only nod helplessly.
At this moment, a mutation occurred, and the young general standing in front of Wang Li's horse suddenly moved, and an extremely slender sword appeared in his hand, and then under Wang Li's shocked, angry, and afraid expressions, it ran through Wang Li's mouth.
"General. Just as the lieutenant general was about to scream in shock, an extremely delicate and small crossbow arrow appeared on the young general's left hand, and the crossbow arrow passed through the lieutenant's left eye.
"Protect the generals. At this time, the others finally reacted, but unfortunately it was too late at this time, and as a ball fell to the ground, a huge amount of smoke immediately covered a radius of tens of meters.
When the smoke finally cleared with the efforts of the others, all they could see was the bodies of Wang Li and his lieutenant lying on the ground, and the assassin was nowhere to be seen.
"Catch the assassins, catch the assassins. "In an instant, the armor-piercing soldiers of the hundred battles were in chaos.
At this time, in front of them, an elite Great Qin cavalry was charging towards this side.
While the fierce battle was going on in Yingchuan County, Ye Wuji also welcomed a guest, a beautiful and cold woman in a white dress, Bai Bing, the current controller of the Bai Clan's trading house, and Bai Qi's great-granddaughter.
