In July of the 38th year of the first emperor, Wang Ben led 200,000 northern legions to pacify the five counties of Qidi.

In August of the 38th year of the first emperor, the land of Han, Wei and Zhao fell one after another, and more than a dozen counties returned to the embrace of Great Qin.

In the thirty-eighth year of the first emperor, in September, Meng Tian took 200,000 elite troops to the north, divided the troops into two routes, broke the Lujiang River, and collected the Huiji.

Chu rebelled against Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and Xiang Ji led the army to retreat to the bay of Zhixian County.

Zhixian County, bordering the bay......

The 70,000-strong army lined up and waited eagerly.

Xiang Liang was wearing armor, standing in front of the army, and said with a serious expression: "The army of the Qin people is still dozens of miles away, and it will arrive." ”

"Xiang Liang, as a Chu person, cannot restore the country, and he is ashamed of the previous kings of the Chu State and the Chu people."

"Fourteen years ago, our Chu people were defeated, but the Qin people also paid the price of blood for this."

"Today, fourteen years later, our Chu people will never fail again, the Chu people will win, and the great Chu will prosper."

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu."

Xiang Liang shouted loudly.

One herald after another, Xiang Liang's words were transmitted to the whole army intact.

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu."

Seventy thousand people shouted in unison.

"Xiang Liang is here today, he has no intention of leaving here alive, if he can't defeat the Qin people, this vast ocean is where Xiang Liang is buried."

"The brothers are either from my Dachu aristocratic background, or after their meritorious service, do you still want to continue to live in the past few years?"

"Even if you want to, will the Qin people let us go? The lessons of the Surabaya aristocracy are still ahead, if we can't revive the Great Chu, what awaits us will be the ruthless butcher's knife of the Qin people. ”

"Your clansmen and relatives will live forever as slaves, and they will be oppressed and devastated by the Qin people. This kind of never seeing the light of day, hiding in a dark corner, groveling for the Qin people, do you want it? ”

Xiang Liang constantly boosted the morale of the army, trying to defeat the Qin army in one go, so that he had a chance of victory.

"Fight to the death."

Seventy thousand people shouted again, morale like a rainbow.

They are not like Han Wei and Zhao Qi to recruit a group of ruffians, outcasts and bandits.

These tens of thousands of people are either nobles of the Chu State, or after meritorious service, since the Qin people dominated the world.

The life of these people is getting harder and harder.

Back then, he was busy fighting for power and profit, and the infighting continued, and it was too late to regret it.

After 14 years, they will no longer be as afraid and cowardly as they were 14 years ago.

Because they know very well that there is no way back.

Fourteen years ago, they surrendered to the Qin, thinking that they could still preserve their power and ensure the continuity of their family.

But it turned out that they were very wrong, and the laws of the Qin people were completely different from those of the Great Chu.

In particular, the implementation of the New Deal has deeply shaken their foundation.

In the long run, they have foreseen that the family will be weakened from generation to generation, until it will be extinguished among all beings.

Moreover, the Surabaya tragedy has deeply stimulated their hearts, and it is better to break the net than to sit and wait to die.

Looking at the morale of the army, Xiang Liang was very happy, it seems that Yu'er's strategy is indeed very good.

"If we don't succeed today, we will kill ourselves, pass on the general's order, burn all the supplies, and leave only three days' rations."

"The Qin people defeated the great Chu and were prosperous, and the Chu people were defeated and buried in the sea."

Xiang Liang's expression was rigorous, with a posture of letting go of everything and not dying, leaving no way for himself to retreat.

This is also what Yu'er told herself, so that she could cut off the idea of the soldiers running away in fear.

"The Qin people defeated the great Chu and were prosperous, and the Chu people were defeated and buried in the sea."

The 70,000 people looked grim, and not one of them showed timidity.

They are not only burdened with personal honor and dignity, but also the rise and fall of family glory.

They have no choice but to go one way to the dark, fight for a piece of the sky for their relatives and clansmen, and fight for a glimmer of life.

"King, can you say a few words too?"

Xiang Liang bowed to King Xiong Xin of Chu beside him.

"The general said it very well, but the widow doesn't know what to say......"

Chu Huai Wang Xiongxin's expression was ugly, and before he finished speaking, he heard Xiang Liang snort coldly.

Xiong Xin's heart immediately trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Great Chu is all entrusted to all the strong men, the ancestors of the Chu State, the sages of the Chu State, and the martyrs of the Chu State will surely bless the monarchs, God bless the Great Chu, and the violent Qin will die." ”

"God bless Great Chu, Tyrannical Qin will die."

Xiang Liang and the 70,000 army also shouted.

The flames burned, and the grain, the tents, and the stoves were burned.

Just when the rebels of Chu were on the edge of the bay, their morale was high, and they were ready to fight to the death with the Qin people, and they were looking forward to it.

Meng Tian led the army to Zhixian, and when he arrived in Zhixian, he heard the report of the scout army, and he did not continue to move forward.

After staying for a while, leaving 10,000 soldiers to garrison the small city of Zhixian County, he led the army straight to Zhiwu County, Huiji County.

Halfway through, Zhang Han was puzzled and said, "General, the rebels are close at a time, why did they return to Wu County?" ”

"The soldiers in the bay are also Jedi, trapped beasts are still fighting, what is the benefit of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred?"

Meng Tian said casually as he drove his horse forward.

"What do you mean?"

During this period of time, he has repeatedly made military exploits in southern Xinjiang, and he has been in danger several times before he becomes a deputy general, which is really not easy.

"Seventy thousand rootless Ping, if they don't win, they will die, and they don't need to fight for their lives with a group of desperate people. Like a wounded beast, dying and struggling. As long as you are patient and wait for its flesh to fade and its ferocity gradually dissipate, it is just the meat of the chopping board, and you can slaughter it with your hands. ”

"Death and life? Let them slowly die and struggle, just hold on to the fortified city, closely monitor their movements, and wait for an opportunity to exterminate them. ”

Meng Tian's eyes were full of wisdom, unhurried, and calm.

"But if you divide the troops to garrison, won't you promote the enemy's shortcomings and avoid your own strengths?"

Zhang Han hesitated, but still spoke.

The general's strategy is indeed very safe, and it is really the best policy, but if the troops are divided and stationed, the advantage will crush the troops and change the offensive and defensive situation in an instant.

"As long as they dare to walk out of the coastal bay, it will be the day when the Great Qin Iron Cavalry Legion will be powerful in the world."

Meng Tian smiled, then spurred his horse and galloped away.

Zhang Han showed a look of sudden realization, looked at the saddle under his butt and the stirrups under his feet, and smiled bitterly.

It turns out that His Majesty's newly formed 50,000 iron horsemen also followed?

All along, he thought that it was only the 200,000 infantry troops of the Southern Army, after all, the cavalry had no advantage at all.

150,000 infantry troops, 30,000 crossbowmen, 20,000 chariots, plus 50,000 cavalry, it seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to Chudi!

Zhang Han has already seen and foreseen the demise of the Chu people, and the tragic end.

Zhixian Hundred Miles of Wasteland, One Horse Plain, the most suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.

Once out of the bay, let alone 70,000 mourning soldiers? Even if it is 100,000 dead soldiers, in front of the 50,000 cavalry army newly formed by Great Qin, it will definitely destroy the ancient and decaying.

As a general, Zhang Han knew very well that after the cavalry had a saddle and stirrups, the changes brought about were not the same.

If it was before, although the cavalry had an advantage over the infantry army, it was not so significant.

Chu people, it's really stupid, they chose a good grave for themselves!
