The Tang River, a relatively wide river. However, because there has been no rain for nearly a month, the water level of the Don River has dropped a lot.

Suddenly, on the west bank of the Tang River, a black military flag appeared above the horizon, and then, black pressed soldiers, surging over like a tide. When they came to a distance of about five hundred meters from the shore, they stopped.

"General, the scouts have found out that the Chu army has no guards here." The adjutant general pointed to the Tang River and said.

Next to the lieutenant general, the armored Zhu Li hurriedly supported the chariot and glanced at the Tang River in front of him.

In his opinion, it was easy to cross this river, but he was afraid that the Chu State would attack it halfway. After all, Zhaoyang is not a fool, and he will also know about the Qin army's transfer to Tanghe.

"Revisit." He was very cautious, because now the only hope for the Qin State to break the impasse in Wancheng was pinned on his 100,000 people. As long as he crosses the Tang River, then behind the Tang River, the army of Wuchu can resist him.

Zhaoyang? If he dared to come over, Sima Cuo's 100,000 people would definitely bite him hard.

Tang Yi? has been trapped in Fangcheng by 50,000 Qin troops, how can it be moved.

As long as he crosses the Tang River, the situation in Wancheng will be a foregone conclusion, and it will be useless for the 250,000 of the Chu State to come over at that time. The Qin State can also take advantage of this anointed place to return a large mouthful of blood, and use it as an outpost to launch an endless onslaught against the hinterland of Chu State, such as Chencheng and Yingdu.

Under the leadership of Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi, the Qin State moved towards the status of the hegemon of the Warring States step by step, and only Chu and Qi could compete with the Qin State. Originally, Ying Si thought that the Chu State would completely decline because of the joint attack on Chu, but what Ying Si didn't expect was that not only did the Chu State not decline, but the national strength developed more rapidly, and the Chu State was so big that it was a neighbor of the Qin State, and once it developed, the threat to the Qin State would be huge.

Comparatively speaking, the State of Qi and the State of Qin are separated by the Three Jins, and the State of Qi has always been at odds with the Three Jins, so the threat to the State of Qin is very small.

So, that's why Ying Si would suddenly give up Korea to attack Chu.

With its huge basic plate and Xiong Huai's new policy, the state of Chu will definitely overwhelm the state of Qin after it develops.

Ying Si will not let this situation appear, he wants to strangle the development of Chu in the cradle, he wants to subdue Xiong Huai, and first get rid of the biggest threat to himself. And Korea is just a disobedient little brother for the Qin State, and after cleaning up the Chu State, there is time to clean up Korea.

Yingsi's hole cards have all been bet on Zhu Liji, who understands that he will be the most critical person to strangle the Chu State!

Half an hour passed, and another adjutant general walked over from outside the military formation, and said confidently: "The scouts have found out that there is no Chu army in the surrounding fifty miles!" ”

He stared at the river in front of him for a long time.........

"Cross the river!"

The voice of the herald was not loud, but the herald spread the order with a loud voice.

A moment later, several groups of soldiers in front of the Qin army began to march towards the river.

The water was not deep, but the soldiers chose to take the bridge that had been built over the river, because they did not want to enter the opposite bank wet.

There were only so many bridges, and there were 100,000 people in the hands of the soldiers, and it took a day for the Qin army to cross the river.

The sky had darkened, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

It was supposed to be the time to make a fire, but the Qin army did not set up camp to eat.

He looked at the plain in front of him with great vigour, and sighed: "From now on, Great Qin is invincible!" ”

Then he looked back at the soldiers around him, and the Qin army was all full of energy, even more excited than Zhu Liji, because they knew that they were about to make meritorious contributions!

"Target-Wancheng, set off quickly!"

……………………………

"You've crossed the river?" Zhaoyang was so frightened that the dishes and chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

Ever since there were signs of crossing the river, Zhaoyang sent scouts every day to monitor his every move, as well as Sima Cuo's movements in the north.

Since the day before yesterday, Sima Cuo stopped going south to meet with the army, and there was no change in the military camp on the side of the barracks, and there were still 100,000 people in the barracks.

However, today, the 100,000 people who were sick in the country slipped out from under Zhaoyang's nose, and for a whole day, the scouts of the Chu State did not find out......

"What the hell is going on?" Zhaoyang came back to his senses and scolded the scout commander in front of him who had delayed the fighter.

The commander of the scouts lowered his head and said hesitantly: "The scouts of our army were killed by the scarecrows, and the scouts of our army had to observe from a distance......... The last general is guilty, please punish the general! ”

"Damn!" Zhaoyang didn't throw fire on the scout in front of him, because he understood that it wasn't bad for the scout. In other words, he could only observe from a distance when he was driven out by the Qin army.

"The heralds will be in the account!"

"No!"

After a long time, more than a dozen generals appeared in Zhaoyang's tent.

"The Qin army has already crossed the river." Zhaoyang didn't sell Guanzi, he directly told the news of the Qin army's crossing of the river.

The news was like a bombshell, thrown into the calm waters of the lake, causing a loud bang.

The originally silent tent became lively, and some of these generals marveled that the Qin army had crossed the Tang River from under their noses...... Some raised concerns about the current situation......

"Quiet!" Zhaoyang looked at the buzzing generals in front of him and said impatiently.

"The top priority is to keep Wancheng, so I am calling you over now to discuss the matter of retreating into Wancheng!"

"Retreat into Wancheng?" A general hesitated, "If our army retreats into Wancheng, then our army's contact with Tang Yi and General Zhaosui will be broken!" ”

The generals next to him nodded in agreement.

In fact, the main reason for Zhaoyang to set up this defense line was to expand the area of the front and avoid being trapped in an isolated city. He wants to use this front to connect Wuguan and Fangcheng, three points and one line, and coordinate with each other to keep the Qin army out.

If Zhaoyang retreats to Wancheng now, then the Qin army can surround Wancheng, and at the same time bypass Wancheng, take Sui, Danyang, Xi and other places, trap the Chu army in Wuguan, Wancheng, and Fangcheng, and compress the Chu army's activity space. In this way, Zhaoyang's final chance of winning will be gone...

However, if they continued to defend this chicken rib defense line, the Qin army could completely cooperate with Sima Cuo from behind to take Zhaoyang, which would be worse than the defeat of trapping Wancheng.

Zhaoyang was also gambling at the beginning, and he gambled that he would not cross the Tang River. At first, the Qin army did not cross the river, which gave him an illusion, so he did not send troops to defend it.

And now he understands that the reason why he didn't cross the river is because he has to wait for Sima Cuo's arrival and watch his ass for himself.

And just when the movement of the river was crossed, Zhaoyang's hesitation also made him miss the last opportunity to block the Qin army on the west side of the Tang River.

It seems that the Chu army has been defeated......
