Chapter 623: People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries

Rongzhou Front.

The Mu brothers gathered a large number of soldiers here, especially the county soldiers brought by Mu Yi from Sichuan Prefecture.

In order to resist the Qin army and contain its troops, they gathered Rongzhou, Chuanzhou, all the soldiers who could fight, whether they were the old, weak, sick and disabled who had returned to the field, or the inexperienced recruits, all of them were arranged by them to go to the battlefield, along with a general to protect the Xiongguan fortress everywhere.

It's a pity that the Qin army came to kill the sky and the sun, and the scale of covering the sky and the sun exceeded the expectations of the Mu brothers.

Jin Zongyuan, the vanguard commanded by Zhang Yantai, had easily captured the two checkpoints guarded by the Mu family's army, and the Qin army was like a sharp arrow, rapidly advancing forward.

Even though the Mu family's army was quite large, it was defeated in the first battle, and then defeated again and again, and the Mu brothers couldn't help but decide that their troops were overstretched.

It was the most annoying to the Muhammad brothers.

In particular, Mu Heng was angry that Guo Mang, who he had high hopes for, failed to hold on to Changbi Mountain, which had a geographical advantage, relying on the terrain for ten days and a half months.

One day.

In just one day, the impregnable defense line of Changbi Mountain collapsed.

The 60,000 defenders slaughtered the Qin army, Guo Mang was killed in battle, and the Changbi Mountain defense line fell.

He doesn't understand.

Is the Changbi Mountain Defense Line paper-paste?

So vulnerable.

In addition, Zhang Yantai, who rushed from Huangniling to Changbi Mountain for reinforcements, when he encountered the Qin army, instead of sending troops to block it, he turned against him.

In order to win the trust of Lin Jianlu, Zhang Yantai relied on his familiarity with Rongzhou and the terrain of Jianzhou, and brazenly led the way for the Qin army.

This allowed the Qin army to avoid many detours, successfully avoiding the traps he had set up along the way.

Mu Heng hated Zhang Yantai to the core.

At this time, he confronted Zhang Yantai, but he did not dare to lead the army to charge and kill Zhang Yantai.

This person betrayed and surrendered to Qin.

Like a torrent erupted, it caused an uproar in the Mu family's army, causing the army's morale to be disheartened and rumors to spread in the military camp.

Many soldiers are brave and no longer trust their brothers.

With this, the people of Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Sichuan Prefecture, mountain bandits, and dead soldiers, in order to earn the reward of the Qin army, began to secretly kill the Mu family.

Scouts who go out to scout.

Patrol alone.

A messenger that delivers messages.

It is as if the prey in the eyes of the jackal has all been reduced to fragrant bread in the eyes of the people.

In order to kill the Mu family army in exchange for money and food, the mountain bandits spontaneously united and openly hunted the Mu family army on the official road.

In doing so, Mu Jiajun suffered a lot of losses.

Ignorant of information from the outside world.

The key was killed inexplicably, and the crisis that could not be prevented put everyone in danger of the Mu family.

In addition to the turtle cowering in the barracks, it seems that Rongzhou, Sichuanzhou, and Jianzhou are full of crises, and stepping out of the barracks is a dead end.

"Brother, Lin Jian Ritsu plans to trap us!" Inside the military tent, Mu Heng was angry.

At this time, the only thing they could rely on was the Mu family's army.

However, the Qin army's killing order caused unprecedented damage to the Mu family's army.

Even if they adopted iron-blooded means to suppress the Mu family army and force the soldiers to fight for them, there were still many Mu family soldiers who fled quietly at nightfall in the face of death.

There were also many soldiers who bravely went out on patrol to care for their own safety, simply took off their armor and hid among the people, refusing to return to the barracks.

The defense line they had improvised was already full of holes, and now it was more like a hornet's nest and was already in danger.

"The law in the forest is good at fighting, and the ram relied on him very much in the early years. He waved his army to the south, and it was inevitable to build a state in Rongzhou, so we should obstruct them as much as possible, and when we had no choice but to go away. Mu Yi said helplessly.

He didn't expect that Mu Heng abandoned the city and fled.

It was even more expected that the defense line of Changbi Mountain would collapse at the first touch.

In less than a month, he was already in a desperate situation.

If the Qin army is blocked to the east of Changbi Mountain, he still has time to improve the defensive line, but unfortunately it is too late to say anything now.

Judging from the current situation, they have lost the opportunity to reverse the situation.

However, Mu Yi was secretly prepared, if he was at the end of his rope, he would not mind leading the army westward and taking refuge in a foreign race to make a living.

Thousands of miles away.

Coalition battalion.

Gongzi Ang led the army to station, and the generals waited for news from their own king.

Before they received the edict from the royal capital, they learned in advance about the battle situation of the Qin army in Jianzhou and Rongzhou.

The generals read the messenger and sent the letter.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Surprise was mixed with fear.

While they were waiting for the edict, the Qin army captured the defense line of Changbi Mountain and killed the Mu army.

The Mu brothers were losing ground one after another, and the improvised defensive line was still in danger.

At this time, the expression on Gongziang's face was extremely cold, like an icicle in winter.

Most of the generals in the tent had dark faces and depressed expressions.

In recent years, the Qin state has been actively expanding outward.

Expedition to Wei in the east and Chu in the south.

Even if the Zhao Kang Empire was replaced, the pace of conquest still did not stop.

The Qin army seized Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Chuanzhou, eradicated the Mu brothers, and the pace of the campaign will definitely not stop.

At that time, where did the Qin state expand?

Judging by the current situation, it goes without saying.

The Great Qian Empire.

The soldiers are strong and strong, and they are too far away from the Qin State, and if the labor division goes on an expedition, it is not in the interests of the Qin State.

In the southern countries, Lin Jianlu seized the three places of Jianzhou, and many places were adjacent to them. However, the economy, military, politics, and population of the Qin state were mostly concentrated in the north.

Before the economy of Zhao Kang's old land could not be restored, Ji Xuanling would definitely no longer expand southward.

In this way, if the Qin State expands again, the six eastern countries will inevitably become Ji Xuanling's target.

The countries bordering the Qin State were the first to bear the brunt of the impact of the Qin army, and the Chu and Wei states were in a very dangerous situation.

Zhao, Korea, Qi, and Wei were far away from Qin, but they had fallen into the well of Qin.

The Qin state expanded to the east, and the four kingdoms could not escape the end of the annihilation.

Moreover, the coalition forces were surrounded by the territory of the Qin State on all sides, and the Qin State expanded eastward, and most of them killed the coalition forces first to eliminate their worries.

Thinking of this, Gongzi Ang's face became more and more cold.

Qi country.

Why didn't the Qi country want to rise.

After several generations of hard work, Qi was promoted to an eastern power.

A few years ago, he won over the kingdoms and fought against the Wei state, replacing the unprecedented victory militarily.

Qi replaced Wei and became the overlord of the Seven Kingdoms.

It's a pity that he was pinned down by the Chu State.

Qi and Chu, in order to compete for the old land of Yue, invested a large number of elite soldiers to fight.

However, the state of Qin sprung up like mushrooms in the west.

Not only did it disrupt the pace of the rise of the Qi State, but the increasingly powerful troops also seriously threatened the Qi State.

Gongzi Ang even suspected that Qi and Qin were fighting, and the hope of Qi winning was very slim.

"Damn, Ji Xuanling deceives people too much!" Gongzi Ang shouted angrily.

At this time, he did not dare to hold up in front of the generals of the countries.

To confront the Qin army and prevent the eastward expansion of the Qin state, it is necessary to unite the other vassal states.

Everyone worked together to defend together and form a real coalition army, so that they could resist the Qin army.

After all, in the face of the vassal states of the Qin State, they are both prosperous and lossy.

Otherwise, Qi Chuyan, Han, Zhao and Wei would definitely be broken by the Qin army one by one, and the royal families would become prisoners of the Qin army.
