Morning, November 27, 259 B.C.

Yiling City.

For the state of Chu, this is a city of extremely special significance.

The tombs of the previous kings of Chu were once buried here.

The reason why it is said that it was once is because nineteen years ago, the famous Wu'an Jun Bai Qi led his army to break through here, and used a fire to burn the Chu State Temple outside the city and the tombs of the previous Chu kings.

The later poet Hu Zeng once wrote a poem for this: "Yiling City leaned on the clouds, and the defeated Qin division set fire." What's the matter of three thousand beads, you can't go west to Wu Anjun. ”

Of course, since it was the tombs and temples that were burned in Baiqi, Yiling City was still intact, but it became part of the Qin State from the territory of the Chu State.

In this Yiling city, there are many Chu people, most of whom are descendants of the defenders sent by the Chu royal family to guard the temple and the tomb of the previous king.

In last year's Changping War, after learning that the Chu army began to attack the two southeastern counties, the Chu residents in Yiling City launched a rebellion, killed the Qin city guards in Yiling City, and successfully resisted the Qin army's next several counterattacks, becoming the first city in the southeast two counties to respond to the Chu army.

After returning to the embrace of the Chu State, the inhabitants of Yiling City rejoiced and rejoiced for six days and six nights.

On this morning, the sun rose from the east, the sun shone on the head of Yiling City, and a few white clouds slowly drifted through the sky, everything seemed so calm.

Several Chu soldiers were gossiping while patrolling the city.

A soldier of the Chu State who was short in stature and had some dark skin said: "I heard that the battle in Wancheng is fierce, and I don't know who wins and who loses. ”

His companion, a tall and thin Chu soldier, sneered, "What do you need to say? Of course, if the state of Chu wins, the state of Qin will undoubtedly lose! ”

The short soldier frowned and said, "The Qin State is the overlord of the world, have you forgotten that not long ago, we were all the people of the Qin State?" I see that the victory or defeat is uncertain. ”

The tall and thin soldier snorted and said, "That's in the past!" Now that the Qin State was defeated in the Battle of Changping, it is no longer what it used to be! In addition, there are Shangzhu country leaders again, this battle will definitely be won! ”

Several other Chu soldiers also echoed when they heard this, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the people of Qin are not strong now!" "If the Qin State is really that strong, how can we recapture Yiling City and Yingdu?" "The State of Qin is far inferior to the State of Zhao, nor is it as good as the State of Chu!"

For a while, the crowd was turbulent, and the words revealed contempt and contempt for the people of Qin.

The short soldier wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he could only shake his head helplessly and look away.

In the next moment, the short soldier suddenly froze.

The short soldier almost collided with his companion behind him when he stopped suddenly, and the startled companion subconsciously wanted to complain, but was immediately interrupted by the short soldier.

"Look, there's a boat!"

"Boat?" The other Chu soldiers were a little amused when they heard this.

This Yiling city is already close to the river, how can there be no boats?

But after they all turned their gaze to the river, the smiles on the faces of all the Chu soldiers instantly froze.

Surrounded by mountains, the river meanders, a big ship sails out of the calm water surface of the Yangtze River behind the mountain, on the top of the tall mast of this ship, a black flag flies fiercely, and the word "Qin" on it is extremely conspicuous.

Behind this big ship, one big ship after another sailed out of the mountains, densely covering the entire surface of the river, and it looked very shocking.

"Boom." The short soldier subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly the whole person jumped up and roared in a voice that I didn't know whether it was surprise or fear.

"Enemy attack, Qin army, it's the Qin army coming!"

Because they were going down the river, these Qin warships were coming extremely fast, and they looked like sharp arrows coming towards Yiling City.

By the time the bells and bells began to sound at the head of Yiling City, the warships of the Qin State had already begun to dock on the dock outside the city.

Sima Jin, who was dressed in armor, was the first to jump from the boat to the dock, looking at the stunned Chu people in the dock, a pair of tiger eyes widened, and shouted: "Kneel down for General Ben!" ”

After shouting these words, Sima Jin didn't stop, and rushed directly towards the city gate not far away.

Behind Sima Jin, one after another Qin soldiers jumped off the boat, closely followed Sima Jin's footsteps, and launched an attack on Yiling City in front of him.

Yiling City is built by the river, so its south gate is not far from the wharf, about a few hundred zhang away.

Sima Jin took a big stride and ran all the way, rushing to the city gate, just in time to see hundreds of Chu defenders hurriedly pushing the heavy city gate, trying to close the city gate.

Sima Jin almost didn't hesitate to draw the long sword in his hand, and the spring thunder in his mouth was a loud shout: "Chu Manzi, suffer death!" ”

The next moment, Sima Jin slammed into the Chu soldiers like a tiger descending from a mountain, the long sword in his hand kept waving, and each sword rose and fell with a large amount of blood and screams, wantonly harvesting his life.

Behind Sima Jin, one Qin soldier after another rushed into the city gate and engaged in a fierce battle with the Chu army.

These Qin soldiers who rushed to the forefront were all dressed in armor and wore leather helmets on their heads, and they were the famous Qin Ruishi!

However, in just a few dozen breaths, Sima Jin and Qin Ruishi easily defeated the enemy in front of them, and the hundreds of defenders who wanted to block Sima Jin's advance left dozens of corpses and fled in all directions.

Sima Jin, who was covered in blood, laughed loudly, looked at the countless residents of Yiling City who were screaming and fleeing for their lives in front of him, and opened his loud voice to let out a wild roar.

"Listen to the Chu barbarians, your old Qin man Ye Ye is back again!"

This scene was all seen by Wang Ling, who was still on the ship and had not landed, so that the corners of Wang Ling's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Although Wang Ling's old boss Bai Qi has now been put under house arrest by Qin Wangji, this does not affect Qin Wangji's entrustment of Wang Ling's important task and let Wang Ling have full command of this surprise army attacking Chu.

In fact, what Qin Wangji was afraid of was always Bai Qi.

A general beside Wang Ling said with some puzzlement: "General, why is the Chu army here undefended and so weak in combat?" ”

You must know that a few decades ago, Sima Cuo, the general of the Qin State, had already launched two major battles of "Fujiang and Chu".

In those two battles, each time the Qin army first attacked Yufu City, hundreds of miles upstream, followed by this Yiling City.

No matter how stupid the people of Chu are, they should be a little prepared if they are beaten down twice in a row.

Wang Ling smiled slightly and said, "It's not that the Chu people don't defend it, but that the Chu people have no soldiers to defend." Now that the forces of the Chu State are all in the Central Plains and fighting against the Wang Gong army and the Qi army, how can there be troops to defend here? ”

The generals around Wang Ling suddenly realized.

Wang Ling looked at the Qin soldiers in front of him who were still pouring into Yiling City, the expression on his face became more and more pleasant, and even the tone of his voice revealed a little lightheartedness.

"Pass the order, fight quickly, we don't have time to waste here, there are still many places waiting to be conquered!"
