Chapter 391: Deadlocked

The news of Qin's victory in Luxian County has already touched the back scales of the King of Chu, but because Lin Yuyan concealed the actual victory record of the Qin State, the King of Chu wanted to maintain the demeanor of the alliance leader, and he did not move any crooked thoughts, but prepared to forcibly attack Hengshan.

I have to say that although the king of Chu lost the land of western Chu, he still took away the business of manufacturing high-quality bronzes in advance with foresight.

Although Chu Xi was rich, he was squandered by the Jing kings and marquis of the common people, especially the lord of Jing who claimed to be the prince of Zhurong Tiangong, and every year he had to scavenge thousands of Jing girls from Jing Land for his own drive.

The State of Chu has always had the ambition to compete for hegemony, and although the Office of the State of Chu is also a son who indulges in lustful dogs and horses, it is not in danger of the foundation of the State of Chu after all.

This caused the Chu State to master the most advanced bronze forging technology in the world, while the Jing State was limited to the bronze casting technology of decades ago, and many of the weapons of the Jing State Revolutionary Armor Army were captured in the Battle of Yingdu decades ago.

However, Jingdi is the ancestral land accumulated by the old Chu for hundreds of years, with a large population, and the king of Chu wants to recover the land of western Chu, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to the population of Jingdi is an important foundation for Chu to dominate.

Jiang Naoya, the great general of the Chu State, is a decent general, although he has lost a little style compared to the Central Plains, which has many famous generals, but he can do the step of leading the army of the Chu State, and he can be regarded as a great general.

Naoya led 300,000 troops, divided into three roads, and under the mutual coordination, they waved their troops to attack several checkpoints in Hengshan.

It was a few days before the attack, Nao Ya already felt that the patience of the King of Chu had gradually exhausted, it was precisely because of this that Nao Ya was looking at the strata of rocks, the lush and verdant Hengshan Mountain Range, and finally put his heart horizontally, with tens of thousands of Chu soldiers as bait, he did not hesitate to set fire to the mountain, and for a while, even Dongzhu Guo Qi did not expect that this Nao Ya was so ruthless, caught off guard, the raging fire burned the entire mountains and forests on the east side of Heng Mountain, which was no longer able to be extinguished by manpower, in desperation, Dongzhu Guoqi immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of Jing State in the eastern part of Hengshan to withdraw thirty miles to the rear, and defend according to the river to avoid the spreading fire.

In this way, the raging fire burned for three days and three nights, the flames were monstrous at night, and it really made Hengshan round and bright as day, and on the last day, it was already a monstrous flame, and the thick smoke was already so thick that it was difficult to see the mountain.

The main army of Chu took advantage of the situation to seize the area of Hengdong, and also fell into a mountain war with the soldiers of Jing State, and the competition between the two sides was only about the consumption of national strength, obviously, although it was supported by the king of the south, I am afraid it was still difficult to consume with the rich Chu State.

But no matter what, in the first battle of Hengdong, the fire of Chu only sacrificed more than 10,000 abandoned old and weak soldiers, and in exchange for nearly 100,000 casualties of Jing State, or obtained the land of Hengdong, the battle of Hengshan was a unilateral war of attrition of Chu State that evolved into a war of attrition between the two countries.

Because of the great victory of the Chu army, the king of Chu not only killed 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jingdi, but also captured the land of Hengdong, and was also very excited, rewarded the main general Naoya, and sent people to spread the news to Wu and Qin, and the king of Chu was satisfied.

At this time, the Great Qin army was still intercepted north of Yanshui, and the war between the two sides, with the gradual surge of Yanshui, had gradually fallen into a situation of small fights, and Lin Yuyan's energy was also put on the body of the general.

The general Dou Lei was originally a disciple of the Dou clan of Chu State, but he was not a direct descendant of the heavy use, so he was invested in Jing State, and he was also one of the generals who quelled the rebellion of the former King of Jing in the past.

The dou base has already surrendered, and Lin Yuyan also knocked out a lot of news from his mouth, such as the real movements of Yuzhang Wu Kingdom, and then about the rather curious King of Jing Guonan.

These are almost about the national plan of Great Qin, Lin Yuyan naturally attaches great importance to it, and the information that Wu Guo transmitted to Qin State has already stated that he encountered no less than 300,000 Yuzhang naval troops in Pengli Lake, and they used sharp stones and bronze pillars to lock Pengli Lake, and the naval army used by Wu State almost became a decoration.

Lin Yuyan originally believed in this matter, after all, there was a new Cai alliance, and Wu could only obtain the greatest benefits by cooperating with Chu to attack Xiajingdi, but now it was learned from the end of the battle that Wu was almost in Yuzhang without movement, and it seemed that he had reached some kind of agreement with the king of Nanan.

What is the intention of Wu State, it seems that before the original Xin Cai Huimeng, Lin Yuyan noticed something unusual, if it is said that Wu helped Qin State to obtain the land north of the Jiangbei at that time, it was to restrict the expansion of Chu State and endanger Wu State and be able to make Qin State believe, but now in Pengli Lake, this is to make Lin Yuyan unable to figure it out!

[Praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches in the back ......]

For some reason, Lin Yuyan suddenly remembered this sentence, and then wanted to continue to think about it, but he couldn't explain it, but it didn't prevent Lin Yuyan from deciding to test Wu Guo, that is, he was going to write a letter to send to Na Fan Li, and knock on the side.

In fact, not long after the news of Hengdong in Chu State came, Wu State also came with a message, even if Peng Lihu was defeated, Wu State's 100,000 naval army was burned by Peng Li Lake Jing State Peng Li Naval Army lost all the ships, and the establishment of Wu State Naval Army was almost all scrapped!

In this regard, Chu State does not seem to care, on the contrary, for the defeat of Wu State, Chu State still maintains a kind of schadenfreude mentality, after all, after Wu State annexed Yue State, the skyrocketing power has already made Chu State very jealous!

But when Lin Yuyan received this news, he also became more and more firm in his guesses, and immediately wrote a letter to Fan Li, which was naturally some of Lin Yuyan's guesses...... As well as some threats.

If Wu Guo didn't want to cheat, he would naturally have a clear conscience, otherwise, Lin Yuyan was also sure that Wu Guo would definitely react.

As for the second, Lin Yuyan also had a serious curiosity about the king of Nan, and the fight base also revealed some news to Lin Yuyan, which made Lin Yuyan's speculation about the king of the south already have some expectations.

I have to say that the reason why Xin Cai Huimeng failed to achieve the kind of devastating momentum expected by the Chu State is precisely because this turned the tide for the Southern King of Jing State almost single-handedly, and it is undeniable that this Southern King is a peerless national warrior who is not inferior to Han Kui, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin State.

It was only seven or eight years since this southern king entered Jing Kingdom, and combined with all this, Lin Yuyan guessed that this southern king of Jing State might be the former minister of Great Qin.

As for some details, such as the appearance and body shape of this king of the south, Lin Yuyan had already drawn an image according to the description of the fighting base and sent it to the Duke of Qin who was in Wancheng for confirmation.

Since then, with the sharp rise of the Han River, and even the camp north of Yanshui where the Qin army was stationed was once flooded, the Qin army moved north to a high ground, and the Yanshui River almost soared by two to three times, and some places were directly submerged by the surging river.

This also made Daqin's siege weapon trebuchet fall into the point of uselessness.

This seems to be caught in a kind of dead loop, Yanshui soars in summer, and in winter it will freeze and slag, blocking the movement of the Great Qin boats, but it is not as good as the big river that can walk on ice, so that Yancheng is almost impossible to capture.

However, in the middle of April, when Great Qin was in the north of Yanshui, he was an unexpected person who came uninvited.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for many days, my brother misses me very much!"
