Chapter 117: The First Battle

"My Min State and Han State have broken through the Chen State, can Wu Yue watch it? Even if Wu Yue is reluctant to send troops, he will never watch Chen Guo fall, and Wu Yue can understand the truth that his lips are cold and his teeth are cold! ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled happily and said, "Chen Guo is like chicken ribs in Wu Yue's eyes, and it's a pity to eat tastelessly!" If Zhang Yi is the king of Chen, he will definitely let Min Han and Chen fight to the death, and then it will not only consume the national strength of Min and Han, but also make it bigger because of Min and Han, so as to form an alliance with Nanping. ”

"The state of Chen is weak, if the king of Min is the king of Wuyue, will you choose the state of Chen as an ally or Nanping as an ally?"

Zhang Yi's words made King Min's eyes light up, and the whole person sobered up like an empowerment.

Wu Yue has had frequent contacts with Nanping in recent years, not only Wu Yue, but also the neighboring Han Kingdom, both countries want to win Nanping into their own camp in order to bring down each other. Then Nanping was not allowed to ignore it, and only had an alliance with the Wei State in the west.

It can be said that although there are five countries in Xiqi, Nanping is out of the way, and all the wars and diplomatic relations are contests between Wu Yue and Chen and Fujian and Han.

A few years ago, Chen Guo's national strength was lost too much, and Fujian and Han did not give Chen Guo a chance to recuperate since then, even if Wu Yue had the heart to help, but when Chen Guojun and his ministers were mediocre, not only did they not recover their national strength for so many years, but they also took a step backwards.

If the Chen State can be eliminated with the help of the hands of Fujian and Han, the land of Xiqi will be made bigger by the Min and Han families, and then the Nanping State will be difficult to stay out of the matter, and can only ally with Wu Yueguo.

King Min began to calculate in his heart that if he joined forces to capture the Chen State, if the timing was good, he would be able to get a county with the Han State. Is it worth the loss of troops and the alliance between Wu Yue and Nanping.

"King Min! At present, it will take ten days to prepare for the immediate joint Han State to send troops to attack the Chen State, and it will take half a month to say the distance! At that time, the 100,000 soldiers and horses far away in the Qin State were already difficult to get out! ”

Zhang Yi's purpose here is to wake up the King of Min, and now he saw that the King of Min was in a trance, and fell into thought, so he no longer bothered, "That's it, Zhang Yi is going to visit the King of Han!" Leave! ”

King Min turned his head sideways and said to his personal eunuch: "Go and send the Qin envoy out of the city!" ”

"No!"

Looking at the back of Zhang Yi leaving, King Min lowered his head thoughtfully......

After leaving Changchun City, Zhang Yi returned to the convoy that was waiting for him outside the city.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go to Wuyue quickly!" ”

The groom was suddenly startled and asked, "My lord, shouldn't you go to the Han Kingdom?" ”

"The situation is beyond my expectations, this King of Min's brain is not good than I imagined, I have to go to Wuyue Kingdom first, otherwise it will be too late!"

Although the groom didn't know what Zhang Yi meant, he nodded and rode away......

Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and there was a plain thirty miles outside the south gate of Xinyang City, and the tent of Chen's military camp stretched for hundreds of miles.

Chen Jun actually went out to the nearby woods to cut down trees and set up camp tents. There was no fear that the Qin army would ambush and attack.

Yuan Chen, who was sitting firmly in the marshal tent of the Chinese army, was dressed in gold armor, and the whole person was sitting on the handsome chair with a big sword and a golden horse, and the whole looked like a mighty momentum.

"Order the three armies, rest the whole army, and launch an attack in the afternoon!"

"General! It took the soldiers a day and a night to build the camp tent, and with the long journey, it may not be enough to rest for only two hours! Adjutant General Sun Siping persuaded.

As soon as Yuan Chen heard Sun Siping's advice, he frowned impatiently and snorted, "What do you know? We led the army over, and Chen Guo didn't know how much pressure he had to bear. Now we must race against time to win the Qin State in one fell swoop! ”

"But...!"

Yuan Chen stopped and said, "In this way, add a piece of meat and a bowl of wine to each soldier's meal in the afternoon!" ”

Seeing Yuan Chen so decisive, Sun Siping also knew that it would be useless for him to say anything, this was not the first time Yuan Chen had acted arbitrarily!

In Xinyang City, Sima Tu was also sitting in the tent, but he was questioned by the generals.

"General! The Chen army came all the way and was already exhausted, why didn't the general raid the Chen army when the Chen army was building a camp? Chen Ziqi shouted dissatisfiedly.

Sima Tu glanced at Chen Ziqi and knew that he was a partial general in the Chen family's army.

"Even you know that this is an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack, and not one of the 100,000 troops of his Chen Kingdom knows about it?" Sima Tu said disdainfully.

Before the generals could refute, Sima Tu stood up and slammed a pair of fleshy palms on the table.

"Although this general is only temporarily acting as a general, he is also your superior! This battle is under the command of the king and the general! If any of you are meaningful, you can repair the book and send it to Xianyang City to impeach General Ben, and General Ben will not stop him! ”

As he spoke, Sima Tu emitted a mighty momentum, and a pair of eyes pressed the generals so hard that they didn't dare to raise their heads.

"A bunch of trash!" Sima Tu scolded fiercely in his heart.

"Command the three armies, be ready for battle at any time!"

"No!"

......

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, and a loud horn sound came from the camp of Chen Guo!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Guo sent an army of 30,000 to surround Xinyang City in all four directions, east, west, north and south, and stopped at 500 paces away.

On the city wall, all the soldiers were silent, looking at the groups of red-armored soldiers under the city, an inexplicable nervousness surged in their hearts.

Guo Xiao, Zhuang Siyuan and several other grassroots generals immediately drew their swords and shouted, "Drumming!" ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A heavy and low drum sounded, and there seemed to be a trace of magic in the sound, penetrating the hearts of the soldiers and smoothing the surging tension in their hearts!

Everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of war!

Soon, Chen Guo's catapults and siege engines such as the well were all built, and Yuan Chen looked at the Qin army on the city wall, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Chen rode on his BMW and gave the order, "Catapult advance!" Sword and shield soldier cover! ”

The range of the large catapult is only one mile, and the distance of a thousand steps is completely out of reach of Xinyang City.

Soon, the army on all sides received the flag order, and a total of forty catapults stood side by side, slowly pushing towards Xinyang City.

Xinyang City is one of the ten cities of the Qin State, and it is under the management of the Cai family, that is, the main family of Cai Xu, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Over the past few hundred years, after the repairs of the Cai family, the head of Xinyang City can be described as solid, and it is no longer the kind of earthen city hundreds of years ago!

Rumble!

Dozens of boulders two feet long and wide covered and attacked Xinyang City from all directions!

"Hidden!"

The generals at the head of the city immediately shouted.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Huge boulders smashed on the city wall, leaving indentations half a finger deep, and some unlucky soldiers were hit and vomited blood to death.

The huge boulders did not pose a threat to Xinyang City, but they frightened the soldiers on the city wall.

"Everyone is hiding behind the walls!"

The soldiers were all half-squatting behind the women's wall, watching Chen Jun's movements from the small hole.

The catapult threw about ten more rounds, and found that the effect was not significant, so it was stopped by Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen saw that no one on the city wall dared to show his head out, and shouted disdainfully, "A group of rats! ”

"Da Chen's soldiers, listen!"

"The first to climb the wall! 100 Gold Rewards! Level up three levels! ”

"All the troops are attacking!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Drums sounded in the Chen army, and the soldiers of the Chen army wore red armor and rushed towards Xinyang City. Looking down from Xinyang City, it looks like a red tide is coming.

"Bow and arrow ready!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of sizzling bowstrings pulling apart from the city wall.

As Chen's army approached, catapults smashed into the city wall again to suppress them.

Four hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred steps!

When the Chen army stepped into two hundred steps, thousands of Qin troops suddenly stood up on the city wall, all of them aimed at the Chen army with bows and arrows.

"Put!"

Whoosh~

Thousands of arrows suddenly sent out, converging into a net of arrows and pressing on Chen Jun's head!

Ahhh

At this moment, each army of the Chen State suffered more than 100 casualties.

However, in front of Chen Jun, who was like the tide of the sea, it was just a wave that was quickly submerged.

"Oh-"

Chen Jun under the city wall quickly set up a ladder, but the three-zhang high city wall made Chen Jun feel quite powerless.

The boulders and rolling logs were thrown downwards desperately, suppressing the momentum of Chen Jun's surge for a while.

Whenever a sword and shield soldier broke through a boulder or log, a Qin spear that was one foot and two feet long pierced his stomach!

The Qin army, which experienced the war for the first time, was still a little handy at first, but as the battle situation gradually entered, they all became hot and decisive.

Screams reverberated one after another under the city walls, and in half an hour, more than 2,000 casualties appeared in the Chen army. But no one has climbed the wall!

At this time, the twenty well guards finally pushed dozens of steps away from the city wall, and the crossbowmen on the well were suppressing the Qin army on the city wall.

The Qin army at the head of the city suddenly suffered dozens of casualties.

The general of the Qin army held a bow and arrow stained with fire oil arrows, and shot an arrow at Jing Yan's waist, and then shouted, "Stained with fire oil!" Burn all these wells! ”

When the soldiers of the Qin army shot arrows stained with fire oil on the well, the stairs of the wells were already erected on the city wall!

One by one, Chen Guo's team quickly stepped on the one-meter-wide staircase, picked up the sword and shield in their hands and rushed to the city wall!

When the first soldier of the Chen Kingdom stepped on the city wall, before he could get excited about the hundred taels of gold, he was pierced through the chest by a sword that shone with cold light!

Sima Tu pulled out his long sword, his cold eyes revealed a strong murderous aura, and with a swing of his long sword, he killed four Chen Jun who had climbed the city in a row.

"Kill me!"

The general Sima Tu personally went into battle, and the morale of the south gate soared well, and the Chen army on the city wall was killed in a single stick of incense!

In other city walls, there were also a few grassroots generals who personally accepted their fate, and in less than a cup of tea, they also killed Chen Jun on the city wall and stabilized the offensive.

Boulders, boiling oil, logs, and arrows overwhelmingly suppressed Chen Jun and couldn't raise his head.

The city gate was reinforced several times by the Qin army inside and out, and Chen Jun's rushing car had no way to take the city gate for a while.

The battle lasted until dusk and sunset, and then Chen Jun withdrew his troops!

At this time, Chen Jun asked to collect the corpses of his comrades, and Sima Tu agreed in order to prevent the corpses from rotting for a while and affecting the Qin army guarding the wall.

The two sides relented for a while, and it was not until night fell that the first day of fighting between the two sides came to an end.
