Winter turns to spring, the white snow turns into a trickle of silk and flows down from the mountains in the sky, moistening the moist land below the mountain and bringing a green of the earth!

Suddenly, a fast horse rushed from the east, with black armor and black clothes, and three red letter flags behind it, which was the Hongling messenger of the Qin army. The messenger rushed to the front of the main camp of the Qin army, and the Qin army soldiers guarding the guard hurriedly let him go, and the messenger quickly entered the camp, flew and dismounted outside the tent, and shouted all the way: "General Meng's urgent military reportβ€”β€”! General Meng's emergency military reportβ€”β€”! ”

At this time, Fusu was fighting chess with Wang Jian in the tent, the two often fought fiercely this year, which made Fusu's chess skills quite bullish, at this time hearing the military report, Fusu hurriedly held down the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Stop, listen to the military report!" Wang Jian said with a smile: "Okay, just give you a little room to consider, and see if you can turn defeat into victory!" ”

At this time, the Hongling messenger rushed into the commander's tent, presented the fire paint brocade box, and shouted: "General Mengwu's six-hundred-mile emergency military report, please review it!" ”

Wang Jian hurriedly took the brocade box, opened it, and took out a wide bamboo slip, and at a glance, Wang Jian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. Fusu hurriedly said: "Old general, General Mengwu has good news?" ”

Wang Jian said with a smile: "The Mengwu army has conquered Anyang, this Anyang is the last solid barrier of Xinying, the capital of Chu, once Anyang is broken, the Mengwu army will attack Xinying just around the corner!" Fusu was overjoyed and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, it seems that it will soon be the turn of our army to attack!" ”

Suddenly, Fusu had a flash of inspiration, held the sunspot in his hand, fell to the middle of the game, and said with a smile: "Yes, old general, what do you think of this son?" Wang Jian leaned over and couldn't help laughing: "Wu Anjun is really a genius, one son goes down, and the whole thing is alive, wonderful!" Wonderful! Fusu smiled: "Awards, awards!" However, Benjun estimates that we won't be able to play this chess! Wang Jian was stunned and said, "Why? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of solid footsteps outside the tent, but it was Li Xin, Meng Tian, Qiang Kui and other senior generals above the rank of captain who heard the wind and came to see it.

The generals entered the account and saluted together: "General! Your Majesty! ”

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at Fusu, and laughed: "Sure enough, the king guessed correctly!" Fusu stroked his palms and laughed, pushed the chessboard and said, "Let's play again in the future!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were playing dumb riddles, they didn't know what to say, and their faces were inexplicable, Li Xin arched his hand and said: "General, I have not heard that General Mengwu has conquered Anyang, and I will see that I am about to attack Xinying, the capital of Chu, so should our army also act, the brothers are so anxious to die!" ”

Qiang Kui also said: "Yes, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid that the Chu State will be destroyed by General Meng alone, then I won't work in vain, and I won't have any military merits!" ”

The generals were enthusiastic all the time, and they all asked for battle!

Wang Jian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, generals! Our army went to war at this time, which was in response to the original intention of the Chu army to actively seek war, even if it wins, I am afraid it will be a heavy casualty, this is not the work of a wise man! Let's wait for Xiang Yan and them to really retreat! However, you can go back to the army, ready to fight at any time, and stand by wherever you are! "Wow!" The crowd will be excited.

******

At the same time, in the Chu camp, Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, was convening all the generals to discuss the matter.

Xiang Yan frowned and said: "Princes, the right time to explore the horse and report urgently, Anyang has fallen, and the Mengwu army is reorganizing the soldiers and horses in Anyang, accumulating grass and grain, and it is possible to attack my capital Xinying at any time!" What do you think about this? ”

The generals were shocked when they heard the report, and one of the generals hurriedly said: "General, the main force of our Chu army of 500,000 people is all here, and the vicinity of the national capital is empty. ”

Another general hurriedly said: "No, the commander of the Qin army, Wang Qian, led a heavy army to garrison Tianzhongshan, the main battlefield must be here, the Mengwu army is just a feint, don't worry!" ”

General Jing Qi hurriedly said: "Nonsense! Wang Jian has been stationed here for nearly a year with his troops, and except for a battle when he first came, he just couldn't shrink out the rest of the time! This is clearly an open attack and a secret defense, intending to drag the main force of our army here, but let the Mengwu army attack the city and attack the city, and approach our Chu capital Xinying! General, please quickly pull out the camp and come to the aid of Xinying! ”

General Chu replied: "Yes, the general also thinks that Wang Jian is just leading the army to camp here to prevent our army from attacking!" You can't wait for the Qin people to never cross the line to pick wood, even if they catch my Chu people crossing the line to pick wood, they never kill, but return the wine and meat after being entertained! General, you can't fall for Wang Qian's treacherous schemes, Xinying is the foundation of my Chu country, and you can't help it! ”

Xiang Yan was also a little confused at this time: what the hell is this Wang Jian doing, is he planning to fight a decisive battle here? Or do you want to feint here and attack Xinying? I just couldn't make up my mind for a while, and after pondering for a long time, Xiang Yan frowned and said: "Xinyingcheng is strong and wide, and the guards are elite, so it will be fine for a while!" Let's wait a little longer, General Ben also feels that this is Wang Qian's main battlefield! ”

Xiang Liang's injuries had already healed at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father, Wang Jian has already been killed by my Chu Xiang Xiong's soldiers, and he doesn't dare to fight again, why does my father still take a lot of precautions against him!?" Now Xinying is in danger, the king is in danger, and I hope my father will make a decision as soon as possible! ”

It seems that most of the generals of the Chu State are inclined to abandon Wang Jian and come to the aid of Xinying!

Xiang Yan shook his head and said: "Wang Jian is a seventy-year-old veteran, he has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 50 years, and his rich experience and cunning in combat are beyond your imagination!" Be cautious! Xiang Yan always gritted her teeth and insisted, refusing to agree to send troops to help Xinying!

Seeing that Xiang Yan should not, Jing Qi smiled helplessly: "The general refuses to come to the aid of Xinying, but don't you know, even if the general wants to stick here, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it for many days!" Xiang Yan was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "What does General Jing mean by this?" ”

Jing Qi smiled bitterly: "Although my Chu State is rich, it is still not comparable to the grain and rice of the Qin State in China and Bashu!" Originally, 500,000 male soldiers of our army were accumulated here several times a year, and the grain and grass in various places gradually dried up, and there was a danger that they would not be able to help! The original 10,000 grain trucks in three days has recently been reduced to 10,000 grain trucks in five days, and it seems that it can't be supported. Now that Anyang has fallen, Chudong is in danger, and the grain and grass in the grain-producing areas of Huaibei and Huiji cannot be transported, and I am afraid that our army will run out of grain in a month. How long can the army hold on without food!? ”

The generals were silent when they heard this, and their faces were gloomy!

Xiang Yan didn't expect the situation to be so severe, so he couldn't help but have a headache, pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "The army will hold on for another half a month, if Wang Jian still doesn't fight after half a month, the army will immediately march east to aid Xinying!" After the princes return to the camp, they can prepare baggage and other things in advance, and wait for the military order at any time! "Wow!" Seeing that Xiang Yan was no longer stubborn, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

******

"Report β€”β€”!" A scout soldier rushed into the account with a letter flag! "General Qiyu, Your Majesty! The battalions of the Chu army have packed up their baggage, and there is a look of pulling out the camp! ”

"Oh!" Wang Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Fusu: "It seems that the time for our army to act is coming!" Fusu smiled: "Yes, now is the time to prepare to beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”

Wang Jian shook his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry!" Wait until I ask the enemy! He turned his head and asked, "Mr. Wang, how is the grain and grass situation of the Chu army recently?" ”

When a staff member heard this, he said: "General, a month ago, the Chu army entered the camp with 10,000 grain wagons on about three days, and it was reduced to 10,000 grain wagons on the 5th day 20 days ago, and 10,000 grain wagons on the 7th day before the 10th, and I am afraid that there will be no 10,000 grain wagons for ten days recently!" Obviously, the grain and grass of the Chu army are gradually running out! ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian stroked the white beard under his forehead, and laughed: "There is a danger of no food inside, and there is a danger of losing the country outside, although Xiang Yan is a genius in the sky, he has to go east according to the old man's will!" Wang Jian immediately turned straight and shouted: "Someone comes, pass on my order, beat the drum and raise the account!"

"Knock knock ......" loud war drums sounded in the barracks, originally three drums a day to strike the generals to arrive, who knows that today's war drums beat less than two, the handsome tent is crowded, it seems that all the generals have a premonition, how prepared!

Wang Jian sat on the handsome case, his face was grim, his face was solemn, and he said excitedly: "As the saying goes: raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while!" Now is today! The Chu army has begun to pack up its baggage, and it will definitely march east tonight! The opportunity to break the enemy has come, please all the generals must work hard and strive to annihilate the main force of the Chu army in one fell swoop! "Wow!" The generals rejoiced and their morale was high!

Wang Jian immediately issued the first order: "General Qiang Kui! "Not yet!" When Qiang Kui saw that the first order was himself, he couldn't help but raise his head with his chest up, triumphant!

"I order you to select 20,000 warriors in the army, use them as vanguards, and stand by to break the enemy at any time!" "Whoa!"

"Where is Li Xin?" "Not in!"

"I ordered you to select 50,000 cavalry, wrap around the back of the Chu army, and ambush the front army of the Chu army!" "Whoa!" Li Xin took the order vigorously!

"Where is Meng Tian?" "Not in!"

"I ordered you to lead 100,000 troops, divided into four routes, after the Chu people retreated, you immediately led your troops to occupy all the strategic places in Hunan, there must be no mistake!" "Whoa!"

"The rest of the generals, march with Ben Shuai and attack the Chu army tonight!" "Whoa!" Generals rejoice!

Suddenly, Fusu asked, "General, where do you guess Xiang Yan will use Chu Xiangxiong's troops tonight?" Is it used for forward assault, or is it used for dead end? This elite army is a great obstacle to our Qin army's plan to destroy Chu, and we must guard against it! ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian stroked the long beard under his forehead, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, suddenly his eyes opened, his essence flashed, and he said excitedly: "Xiang Yan is in a hurry to leave, and he intends to be fast, so he will inevitably take Chu Xiang's elite soldiers as the striker!" ”

Fusu thought for a while and said, "In this way, the pressure on General Li is too great, so let's do it, Benjun will lead the wolf's teeth." Break the army's ambush the Chu army with General Li, so that everything can be saved! Wang Jian nodded and said: "It's okay, originally General Li Xin's ambush army was not to annihilate the front army of the Chu army, but only to play a role of stagnation and confusion, but with the king going with him, the certainty is greater!" So decide! ”

"Li Xin!" Wang Jian solemnly said to Li Xin, "You must ensure the safety of the king, and you can't be greedy for merit and war!" "Yes, I don't understand!"

After everything was deployed, the vast Qin camp immediately started secretly moving! Murderous spirit, soaring into the air, there will be a river of blood tonight!

******

At the first watch of the night, the Chu army, with the general Jing Qi as the vanguard, led 200,000 troops to the front army, quickly marched eastward, and went straight to Anyang. In order to ensure that Jing Qi's troops could quickly break through the defense line of the Mengwu army in Anyang to prevent being attacked by Wang Qian's army, Xiang Yan handed over the command of Chu Xiangxiong's troops to Commander Xiang Liang and marched with Jing Qi! And Xiang Liang personally led the 300,000 headquarters army from the front army to the rear army, personally escorted the formation, and walked slowly behind!

In the sparkling stars, 500,000 Chu troops rose up and headed towards Anyang under the cover of night.

After walking for about half an hour, everything was normal, and Xiang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief without any chasing soldiers of the Qin army, and the guard of the Chu army gradually relaxed after a long time without fighting!

At about the second watch, when the rear team of the Chu army was rushing with their heads down, suddenly there was an earth-shattering bang bang around them, and then countless torches suddenly appeared in the north, south, and west as if they were doing a trick, and countless Qin army soldiers shouted frantically, stepping on the trembling earth, and rolling wildly!

Xiang Yan was shocked, knowing that the Qin army was prepared, he hurriedly ordered a formation to meet the enemy! However, the mixed Chu army is a fierce army that is only good at fighting with the wind, and once defeated, the various departments will be chaotic and carry out their own orders! Therefore, although Xiang Yan gave the order, the actions of the Chu army were different, and the regular Chu army immediately stopped the battle and prepared to meet the enemy; However, some of the tribal armed forces saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away, surging back like a tide, and in an instant, even the Chu army formation, which had been basically lined up, was rushed to the ground.

Xiang Yan was furious, and led his own soldiers to supervise the battle team to fight hard to intercept the rout, and then the army was already enemy, how could hundreds of people stop the chaos of the 300,000 army!

Just when the Chu army was hustle and bustling and doing their own thing, the vanguard of the Qin army arrived!

The 20,000 bravest soldiers of the Qin army were bare-headed and shirtless, holding halberds and heavy swords like flying rolls, like a sharp sharp cone crashed into the rear of the Chu army in an instant!

"Pengβ€”β€”! Blood flowers flashed in the blazing night, and 20,000 Qin army giants with a height of almost two meters held heavy soldiers, laughing and shouting like a group of demon gods from hell, setting off a huge bloody storm in the Chu army!

The giants of the Qin army smashed the weapons of the Chu army, cut off the heads of the Chu people, tied the long hair of the Chu people together, hung them around their waists, and continued to shout and charge. The bloody images drenched in blood and covered in skulls were as hideous and terrifying as the devil from hell under the light of the raging fire!

The Chu people were frightened and fled backwards like crazy, smashing the already chaotic military formation! The vanguard soldiers of the Qin army took advantage of the situation to advance quickly, and they defeated the Chu army one after another, killing the Chu army with rivers of blood and corpses all over the field!

In the midst of the chaos, the general of the Chu army, Qu Ding, did not fight! The head doesn't know who was cut off by the Qin army!

For a time, in the starry night, the Chu army fled all over the mountains, the Qin army chased after the sky, and a tragic bloody battle was staged between heaven and earth!

Xiang Yan saw that the general trend had gone, sighed, and fled to the east in embarrassment surrounded by his own soldiers! When the Chu army saw that Xiang Yan had left, it was even more chaotic, and they could not form an army, so they fled in a swarm!

The Qin army then pursued bravely and pursued closely!

******

The vanguard of the 200,000 Chu army under the leadership of Jing Qi quickly marched eastward, and was walking, when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound behind him, Jing Qi was shocked, turned around and looked urgently, and saw that the western sky had almost been reflected in the sky, and the shouting and killing sound like a mountain collapse and earth cracking was simply rolling like an endless thunderstorm, and it was getting closer and closer!

Jing Qi was shocked: "Order the three armies, run forward, if you are caught up by the Qin army, my army will rest!" "The Chu army was like an arrow at this time, the soldiers had no heart to fight, they were panicked when they heard the order, and they left in a hurry, and went straight to Anyang!

Jing Qi's front army rushed out of more than 20 miles in one go, gradually distancing himself from the rear army, and the thunderous shouting of killing behind him gradually disappeared! Jing Qi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "The army is not allowed to stop, eat some dry food to satisfy hunger, and wait until noon to bury the pot and make rice!" ”

When the Chu army heard the order, they didn't care about complaining, so they had to grit their teeth and continue to rush forward!

The sun gradually rose over the horizon, and the fiery red sun radiated ten thousand golden rays, sprinkled all over the vast land that had just woken up, casting a layer of gold on everything! In the distant sky, a few fluttering white clouds are also plated with a layer of beautiful gold, and the sky is fiery red, as if it is on fire, which is extraordinarily spectacular and beautiful!

However, the Chu army, who were panicked like fish in the net, were not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery at all, so they just buried their heads in the road and gradually walked into a canyon!

According to the usual practice, the Chu army should have sent a scout to investigate the way before they could advance, but unfortunately now Jing Qi was in a state of confusion, and just wanted to break through the defense line of the Qin army in Anyang as soon as possible and escape from the current danger, so he forgot to send a scout to investigate carefully!

As a result, under Jing Qi's fatal negligence, the vanguard of the 200,000 Chu army gradually entered the canyon and headed east.

And at the top of the mountain gorge, behind the dense jungle, 50,000 Qin cavalry are dismounting and ambushing here, everyone with crossbows wound and swords unsheathed, ready for a fierce battle!

Fusu and Li Xin were crouching on the top of the mountain, quietly peeping down. Sure enough, it was the red-armored elite of Chu Xiang who took the lead, and the leader was Xiang Liang, who was inseparable from Li Xin!

Fusu smiled at Li Xin in a low voice: "Sure enough, it was Chu Xiang's elite soldiers who took the lead, and General Wang was really like a god!" Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the old general has decades of battlefield experience, and I can't wait for it!" So, your lord, can you attack? ”

Fusu looked at the sky, then at the defenseless Chu army under the mountain, nodded and said, "Yes!" After passing the order, the arrows and flying stones mainly greeted the elite soldiers of Chu Xiang, and a few killed counted as few. And to send a team of elite soldiers on the top of the mountain to cheer for Benjun, be sure to make Benjun look like a soldier of tens of millions! "Wow!" Li Xin quickly arranged it!

So, just as Jing Qi led the army to leave in a hurry, suddenly there was a loud bangzi sound on the cliff. After the bang, the tranquility in the mountains and forests was instantly broken, and countless Qin troops poked their heads out of the cliff in dense clusters, shouting loudly: "Killβ€”β€”! Kill all the Chu army and capture Jing Qi alive! ”
