Chapter 45: Save Yourself

Meng Tian led the army to the west, and Wang Aocha drove to the east. The two people with the same mission met on the mountain road, and when the two cars were wrong, Wang Ao asked Yushou to stop, and Meng Tian's car also stopped.

"Ao whispered that General Meng's royal father, General Meng, was also a Qi person." Wang Ao waved at Meng Tian, and began to speak loudly: "I don't know, why did General Meng Ao enter Qin?" ”

Wang Ao mentioned Meng Tian's grandfather, but Meng Tian didn't know what he meant and didn't answer silently. Wang Ao didn't care, and said again: "Ao and the general, the abbot of the food, the wife and the concubine, enjoy the extreme desire of the ministers; Attacking cities, lobbying the nations, and showing the ambitions in the chest are all gifts from the Great Qin. Now that Great Qin is in danger, saving Qin is to save himself, and Ao is willing to encourage him with the general! ”

Everyone in the world says that Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, but the country of tigers and wolves also has vested interest groups. Meng Fu entered Qin, naturally because he had an unsatisfactory life in the Qi State; Wang Ao entered Qin, and some were also not allowed to be reused in the Kanto region. This is the case for people in the world to enter Qin, and people like Li Si who understand the difference between toilet rats and hamsters, and know that success depends on circumstances, are still a minority.

If the Qin State is the place that the people of the world yearn for, then the State of Chu is the country that the people of the world despise. The inner surname is selected from the relatives, and the outer surname is selected from the old, and the Chu State has been reluctant to use outsiders since the founding of the country, let alone appoint talents. After Xiong Jing ascended the throne, even more, the Hakka people of the countries were expelled, and only the craftsmen were spared.

Now that the Chu army has conquered Qin, beheaded officials, and divided the Lu domain, it is clear that it does not intend to share power with the corporal of the world. If the Qin State dies and the world is unified by the Chu State, then the world will be a fiefdom for the nobles surnamed Mi and the honored scholars of the Chu State, and it will definitely not be a stage for the scholars of the world. In this case, why should the corporal of the world help Chu? In this case, why didn't the corporal of the world save Qin?

Wang Ao thought so. Two thousand years later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, it was rumored in the newspapers that foreigners were going to conduct scientific examinations. To cut off a person's career is to cut off people's wealth, and to cut off people's wealth is to kill their parents.

On the Kuisai Mountain Road, Wang Ao and Meng Tian passed by after finishing his words. Shangyi and Shan, Zhao Hai, who hurried from Wuguan under the scorching sun, finally arrived. In the morning, more than 10,000 Qin troops under the command of Qi Brown launched several offences in order to recapture the Guandao Pass, but the two divisions of Chu and Yue did not give up an inch of land, and more than 1,000 Tai people led by Zhu entered the mountains and forests like fish into the sea, constantly harassing Qi Brown's rear, so that he could not attack with all his strength. When Zhao Hai arrived, there were less than 10,000 people left in Qi Brown's department, and the military flag of the Chu army was firmly fluttering on the passes, the mountains and the mountains.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." Qi Brown was appointed as a lieutenant general with archery, and the art of war was the first thing to say, but once the actual combat revealed the weakness of talking on paper.

"If you fight, you will win and you will lose, so what is the punishment." Zhao Hai said patiently, and then asked, "Is there any reinforcement from the Jing people?" How many soldiers do he still have? ”

"Not much." Qi Brown replied. "The last general has attacked repeatedly, and the Jing people have become the end of the strong crossbow."

"Good!" Qi Brown failed to capture the pass and failed to recapture the Suhe Mountain, but the Chu army was also dragged down by him. Zhao Hai knew that time was limited, so he immediately ordered: "Drumming!" Attackβ€”"

The earth-shattering drum sound of the earth-shattering drum sounded in the valley road on the east side of the mountain, and the thousands ......of dead soldiers selected immediately rushed to the pass when they heard the sound, and Zhao Hai raised the landing mirror to look at these dead soldiers. Not wanting to 'swish', the eagle arrow flashed from the dense forest, and when it reappeared, it had already crossed his neck. This time, no one could save him.

"Assassin!" Seeing this, the short soldiers shouted loudly, but what overshadowed their voices was the shouts of the Chu army on the ridges on both sides of the front. The red flag with the word 'Cheng', the red flag with the word 'Pan', the red flag with the word 'Ping', the red flag with the word 'E' written on ......, on the ridge of the valley road in front of it, a big flag was erected every other section, and the Chu pawns under the banner shouted wildly, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

These are not enough, the most desperate thing is that on the mountain of Suhe, an incomparably wide three-headed phoenix flag was erected, and the Chu pawn on the mountain shouted: "Long live the king!" Long live the King! Long live the King! ”

"General, general, general......" Although the Chu army did not surround itself, hearing this momentum, none of the Qin soldiers thought that they could take Shangyi. Zhao Hai was dead, and the generals all looked at Qi Brown, hoping that he would have an idea.

"Withdraw!" As soon as he saw the three-headed phoenix flag fluttering in the wind on the mountain of Suhe, Qi Brown had no heart to fight, and the king's order from Xianyang did not reach Wuguan because of the obstruction of the Chu army, even if the king's order was passed to Qi Brown's hands, he would retreat in difficulty.

The Qin army retreated, and the Chu army beat drums in pursuit. The valley is cramped, but the avenue is like a stone, and thousands of Chu troops are chasing more than 30,000 people. The scale armor was heavy, and the Qin soldiers could only abandon the armor and die. During this period, there were also unbelieving Qin troops who counterattacked, or held the pass, but the pursuing Chu army not only had razing spears, but also a battalion of ten-pound cannons. Under the pull of the four dragon horses, they ran faster than the armor soldiers, forcing the rider to keep reining in the horses. Even so, the dragon horse who ran away also bumped into the butt of the Chu soldier from time to time.

Once the Qin army formed a counterattack or planned to defend the pass, the soldiers would get out of the way and let the ten-pound guns of the two companies fire up and bombard. When the artillery blasted the Qin army away, they rushed up to the spear to chase and kill. The soldiers below are energetic, but for Pan Wuming, the general of Cai Shizhi, the battle has never been so boring. However, for Lord Bai Di and Aristotle IV, who retreated with the Qin army, the battle had never been so exciting.

A round, floating-long, eight- to nine-finger wide iron cylinder as shiny as Chuni's armor was the kind of weapon that the Qinni spoke of that would make a thunderous sound. Each time it is fired, it spews fire and smoke like a legendary dragon. And, of course, stone bullets, if they are made of stone. But with the habits of the Chuni, it is more likely to be an iron bullet.

Aristotle IV was fascinated by this magical weapon. If it weren't for Wuji, Zaras and a Qin school to stop him, he would probably have stepped forward to observe and study. It's his hobby, and he's always had a wide range of hobbies.

The barrel is placed on a carriage and towed by four Nissa horses, and once stopped, it can be fired at the enemy by turning the direction of the cylinder. Iron bullets can pierce walls, even if they are covered with heavy iron armor. 'Blood ditch', this is the word described by General Qin Ni, who first encountered it. That's exactly right. As long as the iron bullet touches the human body, even if it touches the human body after landing and rebounding, it will tear out a bloody path. The range of the iron bullet is very long, exceeding that of the four Stadias, and some of them easily fall outside the six Stadias.

In the Mediterranean world, the most powerful long-range weapon is the ballista, but the rate of fire of the ballista cannot be so fast, and the range cannot be so far. Six Platforms, the combined range of the two medium ballistas could not exceed this distance.

"Your Excellency, the general is unwilling to send people to attack again." Qin Xiao's face was embarrassed, and Lord Bai Di kept asking the soldiers to go to death in order to see the thundering weapon of the Jing people, and after three or five times, Qi Brown, who led the army, had to refuse his request.

"I'm an adult!" Aristotle IV was furious, and in order to learn the secret of the weapon, he did not care whether the soldiers of Qinni lived or died. "Tell the general that I need him to immediately order the soldiers to launch a real charge against that weapon. If he can't do it, I would suggest that Your Majesty change a general. ”

Aristotle IV was quickly reported to Qi Brown. Qi Brown knew that he was an adult, or the eldest son's master, and two quarters of an hour later, hundreds of Qin soldiers who had lost their heavy armor and held shields were organized to launch a real charge against those ten-pound cannons.

The clash between flesh and steel was repeated again, the power of the ten-pound cannon shotgun was not as good as the fifteen-pound gun, but the interval between the artillery was much smaller than the requirements of the drill code, and the battalion commander had not yet shouted the order of 'double shotgun', and the Qin pawn was defeated.

......Aristotle IV, who witnessed all this, no longer had the majesty of an adult, and the bloody scenes of shotguns killing and wounding soldiers were always flashing in his mind. If it weren't for Wuji and Zaras carrying him into the carriage, the soldiers of the Qin army behind the carriage stopped the Chu pawns who were chasing him, and he would have been poked out of a few holes by the spear.

"Ahh Gods. On the carriage, Aristotle IV suddenly tightened his body, trembled like a swing, and finally fainted.

"King Qiyu, the Qin army has retreated forty miles." Xiong Jing's shogunate was located in Shangyi County, and although the Qin army on the east side was not the focus of attention at the moment, the military Sima Dou often reported to him about the pursuit.

"I just want to know, when will the sinking boat of Zhulin Pass be cleared?" Relying on his mount, Xiong Jing rushed ahead of Yingshi, and they were still blocked at Zhulin Pass.

"I don't know." Dou Chang looked at Chengtong, and then at the other generals, and stopped talking.

In this battle, the Chu army marched on improved two-oars and small-winged warboats. It can be 200 miles a day, but once the waterway is blocked by a sunken boat, it will not be able to walk. It is natural to abandon the boat and go ashore, but after abandoning the boat, the food, baggage, artillery, and even armor and weapons ......, these necessary things must be discarded.

The planned military innovation under Xiong Jing's direct instructions made the Chu army quickly strong, but this strength relied on more efficient logistics, and once such logistics support was lost, the Chu army would become unable to fight. In other words, the Chu army became more and more cumbersome, especially the addition of artillery, which greatly restricted the marching mileage of the Chu army - the marching mileage was no longer determined by the bearing capacity of the soldiers, but by the bearing capacity of the horses.

In Dou Chang's view, no matter how long it takes to clean up those sunken ships, his side is gradually losing the entire war. The Qin people are equipping and the Qin army is rushing to help. Shangyi is only 400 miles away from Xianyang, and if they can abandon the boat and all the baggage, and only carry a few hundred tons of gunpowder to the west, the Chu army can reach Xianyang in five days at most.

And if you wait for the sappers to clear the sunken boat, it will be seven or eight days later. According to the report of Pisi's investigation, the Qin army just came out of the fortress yesterday. It is impossible for an army of 600,000 to leave Kunsai in one day, which means that the Qin army on the west side of Kunsai is only 640 li away from Xianyang and only 550 li from Lantian. Even if the Cuihan Valley Road is difficult to travel, it only takes six days to travel 550 miles.
