Once and for all is Xiong Jing's idea, although it is not said that the world will really be fine, but at least there will be no more such survival and killing now. History is determined by war, Chu and Zhao joined forces, through the Battle of Qingshui, the Battle of Chen Ying, the Battle of Jiyi, the Battle of Chasm-Aocang, the Battle of Fei, the Battle of Fanwu, the Battle of Weinan, the Battle of Xiangcheng, and the victory of the entire eight battles, the Qin State was weakened little by little, and today finally saw the dawn of victory.

I have to admit that the Qin people are good at fighting, especially good at hard fighting. For this reason, Chu and Zhao paid a heavy price, with nearly 100,000 soldiers killed and wounded in Chu, and Zhao did not exist and moved south. The cruelty of the war made Xiong Jing unable to turn around and look back, he could only tell himself to look ahead, and ahead would be a world and world controlled by the Chu State.

Shangluo Shogunate, Xiong Jing looks forward to the future; In the Yin Mansion of Xiangyang City, which had just been built, Li He was staring at the huge sand table in front of him in a daze.

The importance of the battle on the Western Front is undoubted, and the victory of this battle in Chu has the future that Xiong Jing looks forward to. For this reason, the entire Great Sima Mansion moved north, in order to get as close to the battlefield as possible. Because it is necessary to control and coordinate the left, middle and right roads, the location cannot exceed the tin hole on the Han River (that is, the starting point of the Han River in Shangjin Road in the Tang Dynasty), cross the tin hole to the west, and the news of Shangluo will go down the Han River; Considering the increasingly large establishment and personnel of the Great Sima Mansion, it finally moved more than 500 miles north and placed it in Xiangyang.

The newly built Xiangyang is a city larger than Yingdu. The only thing that can be compared in the world is Xianyang, both of which are eighty miles square. However, compared with Xianyang, the height of the city wall of Xiangyang City is only four zhang and eight feet, but the height of Xianyang City is seven zhang and two feet; In addition, the thickness of the city wall is also very different, Xianyang City is more than 20 zhang thick, Xiangyang City is concrete pouring, although there are two layers of city wall, the thickness of the two layers of city wall is less than two feet.

The gradual use of gunpowder and artillery made the huge Fanxiang Second City completely obsolete before it was completed, and the towering (albeit strong) city walls were as thin as Chu paper in front of gunpowder and artillery, which can be said to be a huge mistake. For this reason, Cao Peng Jingjiao, who guarded Cao in the Combat Division, has been trying to change the second city of Fan Xiang into a fortress structure like Xiaoyi in the south of the city.

The real defensive support of the fortress structure is not the wall, but the undulating moat outside the fort and the artillery on the inner wall of the moat. Fifty miles in Fancheng, eighty miles in Xiangyang, and one hundred and thirty miles in the city should be transformed into a fortress, and the amount of work is not easier than building the Great Wall of Fangcheng; In addition, the 130-mile city needs a large number of artillery, and a cannon from smelting and pouring, to drilling, boring, and planing, and the scrap rate remains high, and the cost of materials and labor cannot be reduced without five or six gold. In addition, gunpowder is also expensive, and cannons can afford it, but gunpowder may not be used.

The military budget is insufficient, and more importantly, the Qin army can be completely defeated with only one battle, and it is very inappropriate to spend a huge amount of money to rebuild the second city of Fanxiang. The strategic thinking of the Chu army has always been to attack instead of defend and fight a decisive battle outside the borders, at most building walls and blockages on the border, and does not like to build cities within the territory.

In the early days of King Zhao, the first monarch ordered Yin Nangwa to 'Chengying', and Shen Yinxu, the left Sima of the Great Sima Mansion, said: 'Zichang will die!' If you can't defend it, the city will be useless. 'The reason why the main gate of Yingdu South is called Thorn Gate (Chun Shen Jun enters Thorn Gate,...... Behead it, throw it outside the thorn gate), that is, there is only one low wall in front of the king of the first king, a ditch under the wall, and the south gate is because it is important. The city was built with bladder tiles, and only two versions of the wall (one zhang and two feet) were built, and when Wu Qi changed the law, he changed the two versions of the wall to four versions of the wall (two zhang and four feet).

Inside the huge and towering city wall, there are only 10,000 households living in Xiangcheng for eighty miles, and the inner and outer cities are deserted and barren, only the city Yin Mansion is busy. All the front-line military information is summarized here, and the pigeon news of Shou Ying and Ji Ying is also summarized here. Where the enemy is located, how many people there are, what kind of army, how many weapons, who is the general, and what kind of state are all marked on the sand table.

Li He was staring at the front line of the water in a daze, he had just received a report from Zhi Bisi, which said that the Qin army had built a three-oar, large-wing warship, but this kind of warboat was a little different from the Chu army, it had no keel and could not be hit by the bow of the warship.

"Is this true?" Nao also rushed over when he heard the news. The Castle Mansion is different from traditional buildings in that it is a concrete five-storey building surrounded by open space with a kilometer long and wide open space in the middle, which is almost the size of an inner city.

"Great Sima, this is the pigeon news, the Hou Yu Huangshui saw it with his own eyes, and the news is true." Don't let me stand beside Li He, and when I saw Nao Cunning coming, I first saluted, and then talked about the origin of this news.

"The Qin people actually built a three-oared war boat!" Nao slywed a few times. "Didn't they stay in the Huns?"

"Great Sima," said Shen Tong, who was standing beside him. He is also Xiong Jing's schoolmate in Lantai, unlike Lu Gao and Lu Chan, he has been studying in Lantai until he graduated from university before entering the military academy. "This is not the three-oared wings of our army, the three-oared wings of the Qin people have no keel and cannot be collided. For several years, the Qin people tried to imitate the big wing of our army, but they still failed. ”

After Shentong finished speaking, Jing Fei, who took over Shu Cao after Lu Gao, wanted to explain in detail to Nao Cunning where the three-oared big wing without a keel was, but the young man was a little timid, and seeing that Nao Cunning had no puzzled look, his lips moved slightly twice or gave up. He is a technocracy, which is fundamentally different from Lu Gao's strategist.

"There is nowhere to fight in Sanguan, what is the use of Qin's man-made war boat?" In addition to the big Sima of Nao Cunning, there is also Lu Yangjun, the newly promoted Zuo Sima. He didn't doubt Zhibisi's report, but he just felt that Qin's attempt to build a war boat was suspicious. "Yu Weishui and I fighting?"

"Annotation!" Li He, who was in a daze, spoke, he didn't say it to Nao Cunning and Lu Yangjun, but to the subordinates of the Operations Division. "Three-oars without collision bow warboats, the number is unknown, and the location is between the Weiwei."

"Yui." Shentong, Zhaozhu, Zhaoshi and others on the side hurriedly agreed.

"Tell Chen Cang again that the Qin people have three oars and no collision bow wings, the number is unknown, and it is located between Huangwei and Wei." Li said. "Seventy percent reliability, don't take it lightly!"

Li Yan's assessment of the accuracy of this letter was only seventy percent, and I immediately laughed when I heard this, but he didn't say anything. As in all wars, the pre-war reports were not too few, but too many, and they were very chaotic and even contradictory.

The strength of Zhibisi is not in how many Hou spies it controls, but in the fact that there are a group of traitors who really understand the Qin State. In the words of later generations, it was the Trotskyists who knew the intensity of the Kremlin's struggle at a glance at the changes in the pages of Pravda. It is they who are dealing with these complex, massive, contradictory reports.

Li He believes that the reliability of the report is only 70%, and Zhibisi believes that it is completely credible. The sun sets in the western mountains of the Qin State, what weapons will really be used in this battle, otherwise how can the Qin soldiers believe that this battle can be won? If you don't believe that this battle can be won, wouldn't the Qin pawns, who had already become frightened birds, tremble before they fought?

"In the future, the news will be the first to fight the boat." After the order was completed, the deployment was completed, and then I was told not to be punished.

"The minister knows also." Don't be serious, he knows the meaning of the warboat.

"So our army ......," Nao asked Xiang Li slyly.

"The plan remains the same, the queen will attack the pass on the day after tomorrow; Chengtong attacked Mandarin Crane Mountain three days later; Fighting in the pheasant is also the day after tomorrow. "It is very difficult to adjust the battle plan, especially since there are many Qiang tribes to the west of Shangtai Road. The time of the attack of these Qiang tribes was set, and change was almost possible. According to the time, they have left the Qiang land and marched to Didao, the seat of the county seat of Longxi County.

"So ......" Nao was also worried about changing the plan, and when he heard that the plan would not change, he glanced at Lu Yangjun and laughed.

Except for the Battle of Fuying two years ago, the Great Sima Mansion rarely formulated such a large-scale battle plan. Now that it has been formulated, with the Chu people's disposition of 'I'd rather fight people than no one fight me', the war will inevitably be stormy and fierce.

The battle was the first day of the battle, the defenders on the Qinling Mountains of Wuguan Road were scattered by the Yingshi led by King Jing, and a few hours later there was a loud bang, Yingshi blew up the pass with witch medicine, and the pass was pulled out by the Jing people, and the more than 10,000 Qin troops who held the pass either died or fled. Yingshi rode along the mountain range all the way to the south, and rode directly to the dam on the Lam Tin Valley Road to reconnoitre.

Under the pass is the blue field, and once the blue field is passed, it is on the bar. The Jing people garrisoned the army on Ba, which was almost equivalent to the Jing people garrisoning in Xianyang. On this day, the last group of lucky Qin people withdrew from Xianyang in a panic, and all the counties east of Guanzhong were closed, and the roads were cleared for a while, except for the carriages and horses of the government, there were no counter-travelers.

On the night of the next day when the Jing people pulled down the pass, the Yuanhu Mountain on the east side of the last line of defense on the Chencang Road was suddenly attacked by thousands of Jing soldiers at night, and Meng Tian, who was set up in Gu Daoyi, took advantage of the night to reinforce the Yuanhu Mountain, and fought fiercely until dawn before barely driving the Jing people off the peak.

On the third day, the Jing people blew up the embankment at the entrance of the Lantian Valley with witch medicine, and the water in Lantian was discharged for hundreds of miles. Zhao Zheng, who received the report, recalled this day and seemed to be able to remember that Yongcheng had a ground movement on this day - because he was worried that the Jing people would blow up the embankment with witch medicine, and the embankment was extremely thick, but he didn't expect it to be blown up.

The embankment was blown up, and if the plank road more than ten miles long was repaired, the Jing people could re-enter the pass. Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng was deeply resentful, for more than two years, he forgot to sleep and eat, and worked diligently, just to be able to get rid of the shame of the past, but the result was that the old shame was not snowed and the new shame was added.

"King Yu ......" bad news one after another, and someone outside the Ming Hall came to report it.

"What's the matter?!" Zhao Zheng turned a blind eye to the guard in front of him, and finally shouted: "Words." ”

"King Yu, Jing people pull out Xiyi!" The people who came did not dare not say it, and when they did, they were worried that the king would be angry.

"Xiyi ......" Zhao Zheng has no time to be angry, because his whole body is developing.

"The king is angry." Zhao Gao saw that something was the fastest and hurriedly knelt down.

"Please calm the king's anger!" Wei Yi, who was confident, was also a little panicked, and hurriedly took a deep look.

"The King... Cease... Angry! Zhao Jing and Zhao Jing, the old husbands who almost lost their teeth, also said. What kind of place is Xiyi, Xiyi is the western region that King Xuan of Zhou gave to the ancestor of the Qin State back then!
