Chapter 420: Yingdu Falls
"Your Royal Highness, King Jing has already led the Jishan army within the Yingdu to withdraw from the west of the Yingdu City, looking at the direction of its turn, it is Wuling!"
Jing Yi stepped forward and said to Lin Yuyan, it was just now, the scout that Daqin had planted in Yingdu was to report the news to Jing Yi, and Jing Yi immediately passed the news to Lin Yuyan.
At this time, it was already twilight, and the night was like water, but Lin Yuyan's line of sight was a red firelight, burning the entire sky into a piece of red like a baked iron block in this night, and the Qin army camp was far away from that place It was more than ten miles away, but oncoming, Lin Yuyan could feel the blazing breath.
Lin Yuyan finally instructed Jing Yi: "Inform the three generals Fang De, Chen Zhiqing, and Ji Hunt, and tomorrow morning they will wave their troops to attack Yingdu, at that time, General Fang De cooperated with the Wu army to attack the palace of Yingdu, and General Chen occupied the west of Yingdu...... It is to move all the accumulations that King Jing hoarded in the north of Yingdu City to Jiangbei! ”
Jing Yi hesitated slightly, and said at the moment: "Your Highness, the Great Qin soldiers who attacked Yingdu were originally less than those of Wu and Chu, and now they want to divide their troops, is it ......?"
It seemed that seeing that His Royal Highness had frowned slightly, Jing Yi also quickly changed his words: "Huh! ”
The battle report in the east of Yingdu City, although the Qin State sent scouts to investigate early in the morning, after all, it seems that the Wu State also did this, but back and forth, and it was several hours, although the Chu army broke through the city wall of Yingdu, but was burned to death by the Dongzhu State Qi Cheng using the fierce fire oil of the Qin State to kill nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, Lin Yuyan still learned about it two hours later.
In the battle of Yingdu, the state of Chu won, but the state of Chu won a miserable victory, and even Lin Yuyan did not expect that the fierce fire oil originally given to Yingdu as a way to cut off the pursuing soldiers was actually used by the Dongzhu State as a murder weapon to burn hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
In the Battle of Yingdu, nearly 100,000 elites who were burned down by the Dongzhu State were really broken the hardest backbone of the Chu State, compared to the hundreds of thousands of horses in the Battle of Hengyang, although the number of people in the Battle of Yingdu was not as much as the damage in the Battle of Hengyang.
But! You must remember that in the battle of Hengshan, although there were 200,000 people sent by the king of Chu to take over the city of Hengyang, most of them were people recruited by the Chu State nearby, but under the Yingdu, in order to stimulate the morale of the generals of the Great Chu, the king of Chu was able to climb the Yingdu first and fight bravely, and he did not hesitate to promise a reward of thousands of gold, and the heavy reward of the marquis of ten thousand households!
It is precisely because of this, seeing that the stone throwing cart of the Chu State smashed out a huge gap in the city wall of Yingdu, in order to compete for the reward of the King of Chu, those who attacked the Yingdu were the most elite pawns in the Chu army.
The raging flames suddenly turned Yingdu into a purgatory, and the soldiers in the Chu army rushed into Yingdu, all of them were powerful young and strong, even if the soldiers in front found the burning flames, the soldiers in the rear were also constantly crowding into Yingdu, a gap only a few zhang wide, how could it accommodate the retreat of nearly 100,000 soldiers.
But the speed of this flame burned extremely fast, and it engulfed nearly 100,000 Chu soldiers in an instant, so that those who went back hurriedly turned around and trampled on the successors, trampling to death countless soldiers, those Chu soldiers who were already burned by the fire also instinctively rushed to the Chu army camp, but found that the black oil in the Yingdu was splashed, and it was difficult to extinguish it with water.
Therefore, the Chu army camp was also caused by the soldiers who fled back, and the burned grain and grass were countless, accompanied by the raging fire was also the sharp screams of the Chu soldiers.
Lin Yuyan heard the news of Chu State one after another, which also made Lin Yuyan frown, unlike the wars launched by Great Qin in the past, the Southern Expedition was no longer about defending the country, but more about the expansion to meet the ambitions of Qin, it was precisely because of this that when he saw the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians drowned in Yancheng, it was already a lot for Lin Yuyan to think about, and now he heard that the Dongzhu State used the fierce fire oil secretly supported by the Qin State to burn to death nearly 100,000 elite soldiers of the Chu army.
That is a real tiger soldier, even if Lin Yuyan saw the soldiers of the Chu State, he was also amazed not only for the hegemony of helping the Chu State Luoshui to win the championship and drinking the Yellow River in the past, but the main soldiers of the Chu State were set up in imitation of the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains Wei Wushu, just 100,000 people, which simply broke the backbone of the Chu State!
In the face of this mountain of corpses, it is by no means that Lin Yuyan thinks that "I just gave Jing Ren a knife, and the person who killed me is definitely not me" can perfunctory his conscience.
Finally, after Lin Yuyan learned of the casualties of the Chu State, he also ordered that the Qin army would cross the river tonight and capture the northern city of Yingdu to prevent changes in the future.
A few years ago, in the face of Daqin's soldiers coming to Wancheng by the Jin Han clan, as well as the accumulated corpses recorded in the historical books of Daqin, Lin Yuyan also let Lin Yuyan know what is called the world of chaos and the world of great controversy!
Sure enough, according to the current relationship between Miyun and Lin Yuyan, the defense of Daqin is not very deep, especially since the soldiers of Daqin have spent their efforts to build a pontoon bridge on the river as early as recently, and it is only an hour later that the northern city of Yingdu has replaced the banner of Daqin.
The water potential of the river overflowed most of the northern city, even if the forward army of the Qin army was only 30,000 people, but it had already occupied all the footholds of the northern city of Yingdu, and it was inevitable to expand to the middle of the Yingdu.
As Lin Yuyan expected, after leaving Yingdu, Mi Yun only took away the fine and soft of the palace of Yingdu, and the rest seemed to be a large number of bronzes, redundant precious metals, all of which were transferred to the northern city of Yingdu, and even the grain in Yingdu was left in a warehouse on a high ground in Beicheng.
Ji Hunt also occupied this place at the first time, and saw the accumulation in the treasury, which was indeed worthy of the accumulation of several generations of the old Chu, Ji Hunt immediately sealed the treasury, and also sent soldiers, and notified Lin Yuyan.
Lin Yuyan entered the northern city of Yingdu after the dawn, the chaotic people fled in Yingdu, and the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, so Lin Yuyan was also under the persuasion of the generals, after the Qin army occupied the northern city of Yingdu, after the situation was completely stabilized, Lin Yuyan entered Yingdu and came directly to the treasury where Yingdu was found.
I have to say that even as the son of Great Qin, Lin Yuyan has never seen so many treasures, especially a few days ago, Qin Jun secretly took a lot of treasures from Yingdu, and now it seems that it is just the tip of the iceberg!
Inside, there are endless exquisite bronzes, each exquisite bronze here can be worth a thousand gold in the Central Plains, and they are all priceless, Lin Yuyan never thought that this era, which was once regarded as a barbarian land by the Central Plains, could actually cast such exquisite bronzes.
It is not only full of exquisite bronzes, but also a large number of jade, Chu was once a good place to produce jade, and there were many places to produce jade in Longdi, which was once occupied by Qin, but it was Chu that was regarded as the capital of beautiful jade in the Central Plains, and the full name of the "He's Bi" that was once known in the Central Plains was actually "Chu He's Bi".
Therefore, although He's Bi has been lost, but the jade piled up in front of him is not a few, Lin Yuyan saw a piece of jade that is the size of an adult's head, crystal clear, emerald ** drops, as long as this jade is cut down a small fist size, it can be directly exchanged for countless grains in the Central Plains, but when Jing is in danger, these beautiful jade are hidden in the treasury of the palace, and their real use is not seen!
There is no doubt that the treasures piled up in this treasury are the best of the best, Lin Yuyan saw these things, and it was basically predictable that the things left here already occupied most of the treasury of the Yingdu Palace, perhaps because of the hurry, these treasures that were priceless in the outside world were stacked in the treasury at will.
Exquisite bronzes, crystal clear jade, and a large number of pearls the size of longan, and other rare and rare things are not a few, which makes people dazzled!
Lin Yuyan also suppressed the excitement in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Organize people to transport these things to Zhecheng on the north bank as soon as possible, inform Ming Zifu of Nanjun and Feng Cheng of Jiangxia, and organize local people to transport these things back to Daqin as soon as possible!" ”
"Whoa!" The soldiers of the Qin army saw these treasures, most of them were from civilian backgrounds, and they saw the exquisite bronzes that were only regarded as iron lumps of some shapes, and those beautiful jades were also regarded as colored stones like pebbles, as for the few who were not aware of the preciousness of them, even Ji Hunt, who was now the chief general of the Yunmeng Army, was also from a civilian background, and he couldn't recognize the strangeness of these treasures.
But Fang De, who seems to be well-informed, was also a little shocked when he saw so many precious things in the warehouse, and then he was also a little happy, as long as he got these things, it was already ten times the return on the cost of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
At this point, Fang De knew why His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan swore that as long as he obtained the accumulation of the old Chu royal family in Yingdu, it would be a non-negligible help for the rise of Daqin, and what he could see today made Fang De extremely shocked!
Today, Fang De looked at the treasures in these warehouses and sighed with emotion: "The battle of Daqin is the happiest today!" ”
