Chapter 702: The Chu Army Makes a Force

The winter of Hengshan did not calm down after all, and the progress of the Chu army in capturing the Hengshan fortress did not slow down the offensive by half a point because of nothing for more than ten days, and even intensified, and finally after the Chu army fully attacked the city for more than 20 days, it finally captured the first wall of the Hengshan fortress of the Qin army, which was regarded as prying open the teeth of the Qin army's Hengshan defense line.

After Zixi learned of this news, he hurriedly sent heavy troops to guard this three- or four-mile small checkpoint named [Bamboo Pass] by the Qin people, but after guarding it for three days, he found that the Qin army actually had no intention of recovering this lost checkpoint.

Zixi also came to Zhuguan on the fourth day, Zhuguan as the name suggests, surrounded by bamboo native to Hengshan, Jingyang is the son of the former Chu State Shangzhu Shi Jingshe, and now it is also the representative of the Jing clan to grasp the military power, and the soldiers are extremely cautious, and they are the pillar stone generals of the next generation of Chu cultivated by Zixi!

Even if Jingyang killed nearly 10,000 soldiers in order to capture Xiaozhuguan, which was only three or four miles long, in terms of impact, both Jingyang himself and Shangzhu Shizixi thought that this was the right choice.

"Are you sure there are no ambushes from the Qin State around?" Listening to Lin Tao in his ear, Zixi also turned his head and asked Jingyang.

"The day before yesterday, I informed General Zhuang Qiao to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to enter the area around this bamboo pass, and only found some Ba people around this bamboo pass who tried to assassinate the soldiers of the Great Chu, as for most of the men and horses of the Qin army, within a radius of ten miles, they did not find anything!"

If it is Zixi, he nodded with peace of mind, and now it seems that this Zhuguan is completely under the control of the Chu army, but then Zixi is also in doubt, that is, why didn't the Qin army send troops to recover Zhuguan!

Although Zhuguan is not important, it is also an extremely important place for the Qin army's Hengshan defense line, which was lost to the Chu army, which is like the impregnable Hengshan Dam of the Qin State was bitten out by the Chu army A routhole, with the opening of the great war of Qi, Lu, Yan, Han, Wu and Chu to attack Qin, this rout is getting bigger and bigger!

Jingyang saw Zixi's complexion, and his brows were also tightly locked, so he also opened his mouth to ask, Zixi did not hide it, and directly informed the former of the doubts in his heart.

After hearing this, Jingyang thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe the prince Yan of the Qin army has already sensed the intentions of the Wu-Chu coalition army, so he has to give up some places in Hengshan!" ”

Hearing this, Zixi also nodded and felt that what Jingyang said made sense, and said, "I forgot that the commander of the Qin army this time is the famous Qin Gongzi Yingyan!" ”

Mentioning the name Ying Yan, Jingyang couldn't help but clench his fists, with the decline of the Chu State, the nobles of the Chu State with the three major clans of Qu Jingzhao naturally also declined, and the culprits of this are the Wu State and the Qin State, so the nobles of the Chu State are now also educating their children [As a Chu person, you should destroy Wu and destroy Qin].

Jingyang couldn't help but clench his fists, and said to Zi Xiyan with unbearable indignation: "After capturing Yingdu, a certain must be to invite troops to go north and attack Wancheng, the capital of Qin!" ”

Hearing this, Zixi did not stop it, the hatred of the Chu State that was almost dead was too deep on the backbone of the Chu people, and a junior like Jingyang, now that he had to make friends with the Wu State, he naturally transferred all his hatred to the Qin people!

Gradually, there seems to be snowflakes falling in the sky, and now it is the middle of winter, even if it is not too cold in the Hengshan Mountain, but there are still some people who are not suitable for the dampness and coldness of this bamboo pass after staying in the warm tent for a long time, so Jingyang is also introduced to the city: "It seems that the Qin army will not come to recover these lost checkpoints, but you have to carefully guard against some of the Ba people who hurt people with dark arrows!" ”

Jingyang nodded and responded to the matter.

After getting off the city, the soldiers of the Chu army were searching for the corpses of those comrades who died in the battle between the mountains and fields, after all, almost all of them were their own soldiers, and it was difficult to accept the use of cremation, so in this Heng Mountain, the soldiers of the Chu army also dug a mass grave to bury the dead soldiers of the Chu army.

Zixi only noticed that the number of casualties of the Chu army in this battle was not a few, at this time, the situation was special, Zixi also lowered his voice and instructed Jingyang: "The army is too badly damaged, hindering the determination of the Great Chu soldiers to continue to attack the Qin State, and now the attitude of the Qin army is really a little unpredictable, although the Wu army is credible, but it is absolutely impossible to believe it all, and the offensive of Hengshan cannot be slowed down......"

Zixi thought for a moment, and finally said: "I heard that you built a lot of catapults when you attacked this bamboo pass, so let's take these catapults from local materials, even if this mountain road is inconvenient, and it is difficult for the Great Chu soldiers to transport these siege equipment, but it is much better than them dying in front of the Qin people's checkpoint!" ”

"Whoa!" Jingyang responded with his fists clasped again, in fact, he also understood in his heart that the Chu army really couldn't afford such casualties as if he had captured Zhuguan!

If so, the offensive of the Chu army fell into an orderly attack, and the Chu army also spent a lot of effort this time, and the large siege equipment in the catapult was also running with difficulty in the rugged and bumpy mountain road, even if there were nearly 10,000 Chu troops who had to meet the water and build bridges and open roads in the mountains day and night, it was often only a mountain road two or three miles away, but the Chu army had to march for more than four or five days to reach the pass that the Qin army was firmly defending.

Even with this clumsy method, the gains of the Chu army were great, and several small fortresses held by the Qin army were pulled out in succession.

Whether it is Shangzhu Shizixi or the general Jingyang, they are all sure that the Qin army is difficult to get out of the pass because of what happened and took the initiative to defeat the Chu army, and for this reason, the generals of the Chu army are temporarily deceiving themselves and pinning their trust on Wu ** Ma.

It is precisely because of this that the Hengshan Fortress of the Qin ** team, which was originally impregnable, was bitten out one by another by the soldiers of the Chu State.

When Bo Pi heard the news, he was also in a very complicated mood, and now the Wu army of Bo Pi who crossed the river to the south bank was still in the process of camping, and after a long time, Bo Pi couldn't help but be a little anxious, even the Chu people were so powerful, if he didn't show a little more, I am afraid that Wu Guo would think that he was a wine bag and rice bag.

Therefore, at the beginning of February, as soon as the 30,000 naval troops of the Wu State arrived around the Donghu camp of Bo Pi, Bo Pi, who had already been prepared, brazenly launched an attack on the fortress at the mouth of the lake under the extremely cold water of Pengli Lake!

It's just that the Qin army, under the command of Fan Li, the staff officer of the Hukou Fortress, had already taken precautions, and with the strong northwest wind and fire in winter, it burned the mast and broke the Wu army, and frustrated the Wu army that came to Peng Li for the first time!
