Chapter 753: The War Begins
Next.
The Chu army outside Yangguan began to storm Yangguan fiercely, and at the same time as the siege began, a Chu naval division composed of more than 100 warships went upriver from Zongyi and slaughtered towards Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou.
"General, the Yangguan guards will report in the future, and the Chu army is now rushing to attack Yangguan."
"General, the spies have come to report that all the sailors of Wu County of Chu have been dispatched, and now they are killing Jiangzhou."
Listening to the scout's report, Jiangzhou Shou Cao Xu was unmoved.
I secretly said in my heart: The first batch of reinforcements from Chu State only arrived yesterday, and today they will attack Jiangzhou by land and water, and it seems that even if they give up Tongyi, they will not be able to avoid fighting with the Chu army, and this battle is inevitable.
Thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Yangguan is dangerous, the Chu army is difficult to overcome, and the Chu army outside Yangguan can not be ignored, just hold on and wait for help." As for the sailors of the Chu army... Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, General Sima trained the sailors in Badi for ten years, and now our Qin State Naval Division has hundreds of big ships and tens of thousands of soldiers, and he is not afraid of the Chu people.
Immediately send someone to ask Tang Ji, the commander of the water division, to immediately send troops to fight against the water division of the Chu State, and never let the Chu army come to Jiangzhou, so as not to disturb the hearts of our people. ”
"No."
Not long after, the Qin State Naval Division of Jiangzhou Water Village dispatched more than 300 large and small warships to kill the Chu State Naval Division down the river.
Not long after the dispatch of the Qin State Naval Division, on a mountain peak a few miles away from the water village, two Ba people watched the Qin army's warships slaughter downstream, until all the warships disappeared from sight.
"Quick, go back immediately to report, just say that the Qin army's water division has been dispatched, and the Chu army has begun to attack the Qin army."
"Yes."
As soon as the words fell, the two Ba people went to the place, one to the north and the other to the east.
On the other side, dozens of miles to the east, at this moment, a fierce battle broke out on the river between the two naval divisions of Qin and Chu.
The two sides come and go, Qin Junsheng is strong in the ship, and occupies the upstream, and as soon as he picks up the station, he will have the upper hand. The Chu army, on the other hand, relied on the sailors and soldiers who were more elite than the Qin army to fight hard with the Qin army on the river.
For a time, the sound of killing on the river shook the sky, and arrows flew continuously.
Two hours later, when the two armies of Qin and Chu each lost more than 20 large ships, the Chu army was defeated and retreated, and the Qin army did not dare to pursue and kill, so the battle ended.
The next three days.
Sima Jian commanded the Chu army to storm Yangguan every day, and after the Chu naval division was defeated for a while on the first day, he then went to harass the Qin army every day, adopting the strategy of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing, keeping a distance from the Qin army, and firmly containing the Qin naval division not far from Tongyi.
With the battle in the past three days, Yangguan has been killing every day, and the sailors of Jiangzhou have also gone out early and returned late, cruising on the river every day.
After being like this for three days in a row, even the sluggish people felt that something was wrong, and the entire Badi under the control of the Qin State was suddenly panicked.
At the same time, because the Qin State had only occupied Bashu for more than ten years, in order to stabilize the remnants of Bashu, it did not adopt a policy of coercion like Guanzhong.
Loose supervision is naturally prone to breed rumors. After three days of fighting, rumors spread throughout Pakistan.
"Did you hear that? The state of Chu had already started a war with the state of Qin. ”
"Needless to say, the Qin people and sailors are running downstream every day, the battle in Yangguan is fierce, and everyone knows that Qin and Chu are at war."
"Not only that, but I also heard that the Chu people are not only attacking Yangguan, but also starting a war with the Qin State on Shangyong's side."
"What, in this way, the main force of the Qin State is at war with the Chu army and has been pinned."
"Well, that means that now the Qin people can't control us in a short period of time."
···
"Did you hear that? King Ba, with the support of the King of Chu, has already led his army back to kill. ”
"King Ba?"
"The former brother of King Ba! He defeated the Chu State before, and this time, with the support of the Chu State, he is ready to come back and restore the country. ”
“···”
In a short period of time, rumors spread rapidly in the land of Bashu.
Soon, due to the betrayal of Shudi, the Qin people in Badi also developed a great distrust of the local Ba people. In addition, the Qin State has been destroying the Ba State for more than ten years, and the Ba people have not returned to the Qin State. And the spread of rumors has deepened the estrangement between the Qin people and the Ba people.
It didn't take long for the Qin people and the Ba people in the entire Ba region to become two groups of people who were like strangers, wary of each other and suspicious of each other.
The whole of Badi is like a volcano about to erupt, and it is not known when it will erupt.
And in the target of Chu's attack, Jiangzhou City, because the war broke out on his side, this distrust was even more obvious.
At this time, the city of Jiangzhou had already entered a state of combat readiness, and the streets were full of Qin people patrolling, as long as they saw the Ba people whispering in groups, they immediately stepped forward to disperse the Ba people.
At this time, the Ba people in Jiangzhou City, looking at the Qin people, had already shown strange eyes.
And Sima Jian and Zhuang Ji outside Yangguan, ignoring the situation in Badi, they are attacking Yangguan wholeheartedly at the moment.
The fourth day of the siege.
Five thousand reinforcements from Qianzhong County rushed outside Yangguan.
Day 5.
Dongting's 5,000 reinforcements rushed to Tongyi. Then, Ba Pu, who was crowned as the king of Ba by the king of Chu, led 6,000 Ba people, took the warship of the Chu State Naval Division, and rushed to Tongyi with the Chu Army Naval Division.
On the other side, Sima Qian, who was commanding the siege on the front line, heard that King Ba had arrived, handed over the command to Zhuang Ji, and then returned to the barracks to greet King Ba.
In the afternoon, Sima Jian stood outside the Chu camp and saw an army of Ba people arriving from a distance, so he immediately greeted him.
At the same time, Ba Pu saw a man walking out of the Chu camp under the banner of Sima Jian of Wujun
After walking a few steps, I saw a Ba man in his thirties wearing a white tiger skin and a bird feather crown walking out of the Ba people's ranks.
When they got closer, the two looked at each other, and at the same time arched their hands:
"In Xiawu County, Shou Sima Jian will meet King Ba!"
"Ba Pu has seen General Sima!"
At this time, as soon as Ba Pu heard Sima Jian call himself the king of Ba, he waved his hand and said loudly: "As soon as the general Hutiba is called, the country of Ba is still in the hands of the Qin people, although Pu has been named the king of Ba by the king, but where does Pu dare to call himself the king before he ascends the throne, the general still calls a certain Bahou." ”
When Sima Jian heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Ba Wang Bahou is a different name, but it involves the command of the army, if Ba Pu calls himself Bahou, this status is similar to his Wu County Guard.
In this way, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he naturally became the indisputable commander of the army, while Ba Pu was only a vassal of the Chu army and needed moderation.
At this time, Sima Jian showed a knowing smile on his face, and said with kindness: "Then it will be overtaken below, Bahou please." ”
"General, please."
