Chapter 701: Winter in Hengshan
In terms of the Chu army, since it fully took over the Wuyi of Hengdong defeated by the Wu army, it also replaced the Wu ** team to continue to attack the important town of Hengshan - Hengyang!
Although the soldiers and horses of the Chu State were a little conservative at the beginning of the war against Qin last year...... It can even be said to be timid, but it is not that there are no famous generals in his account, on the contrary, it seems that General Shi Zixi of Chu Shangzhu is still a handsome general with a sense of the overall situation, and Xiang Yan, Jingyang, and Zhuang Qiao under his account are all fierce generals who can fight well, and they are not lacking in strategy.
The reason why the performance of the Chu State on the battlefield can be said to be cowering is that the sight of the pillar of Chu Shizixi is not on the battlefield of the Qin Dynasty.
Outside, although the state of Chu participated in the Qi alliance's war against Qin, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu knew that this was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, as if the state of Qi was willing to return the land of Huaisi to the state of Chu, and the state of Wu returned Shouying, Chao and other places, it must be to balance the current battle between the state of Qi and the state of Wu in the land of Huaisi, so as to promote the respective plans of the war against Qin!
Inside, these 100,000 soldiers and horses are all the soldiers and horses that the Chu State can mobilize, accounting for seventy or eighty percent of the Chu ** team, even if the king of Chu swears that "Brother Wang will fight Qin like a lonely family", but if Zixi takes this seriously, I am afraid that the king of Chu will be the first to insert the hidden blade into Zixi's vital point by mixing in the dead soldiers around Zixi.
The truth is so cruel that even Lian Zixi sometimes can't help but suspect that once the Qi Alliance's attack on Qin is completed, either the State of Qi and the State of Wu will attack the State of Chu one after another, or the King of Chu is worried that he will be a master of high merit, and intends to [hide the bird with a good bow, and cook the cunning rabbit with a dead lackey].
But now, after meeting Bo Pi, Zixi has figured it out, this is the sad place of living in the home of princes and nobles, even if the king of Chu is his brother, even if the position of the king of Chu is given up by himself, but these are all places where the king of Chu is jealous of himself.
Therefore, Zixi has already made a decision: "After the Qin Dynasty obtained Jingdi this time, it is the beggar to return the military power to the king, and he wants to advise the king to relocate the capital to Yingdu and avoid the gladiatorial battle between Wu and Qi!" ”
Although today's King of Chu is not open-minded, but he is also full of strategy, the ministers of Chu have not shocked the talents of the Central Plains, but there is no lack of admirable virtuousness, Zixi can be sure that if the Chu State can seize the opportunity of this Qi Alliance to attack Qin, it will not be a beginning of the revival of the Chu State again.
After all, the rise of the Qin State, the overlord of Henan, who is now the target of everyone, is only in this mere ten years!
At the moment, there was already a decision in his heart, Zixi sent Jingyang to lead 30,000 Chu troops to continue to attack Hengyang, as for the hidden Ba people in the mountains, Zixi was handed over to Zhuang Qiao, and the army's defense of the Qin army was arranged by Zixi, and the general Xiang Yan personally supervised it.
Knowing that the eastern part of Hengyang is a dangerous place in Hengshan, the Qin people built a towering and continuous fortress in the mountain, and Zixi also sent special personnel to build large-scale siege equipment, and even in order to break through the fortress in front of the Chu army, Zixi ordered Jingyang to attack the Hengshan fortress day and night, and burned all the wine that drove away the cold to the soldiers and threw it on the head of the Hengshan fortress.
If so, the casualties caused to the Qin army are not low, the most important thing in Hengshan is the stone and forest, the Qin army defending the city is naturally prepared with a lot of thunder stone rolling wood on the spot, then Chu will Jingyang see this, is Duoduo to build a catapult, in order to attack Hengshan Pass!
In this way, the casualties inflicted by the Chu army on the Qin army were much more than when Bo Pi attacked this Hengshan fortress some time ago.
Lin Yuyan was originally a little curious about why the Chu army would rest assured that Wu was behind and attack Qin with all his might, but then he received Fan Li's letter to understand, and then he was a little surprised that Fan Li's infiltration of Wu had reached such a terrifying point.
To know that the correspondence between Bo Pi as the chief general of the Wu army and Sun Changqing must be the highest secret of the Wu State, but it is these secrets that were stolen by Fan Li, how can Lin Yuyan not be a little surprised.
"It seems that this Wu Kingdom is probably like a sieve in front of the Yue King and the ministers!" This time, Lin Yuyan was called [Yue Jun] again, but the king of Yue, which shows his recognition of the monarchs and ministers of Yue State.
Immediately, Lin Yuyan ordered Jing Yi to take the map, and kept estimating, and had to admit that the Hengshan fortress to the Pengli defense line was the most energy that Great Qin had invested in Jingdi in the past few years, in order to prevent the invasion of Wu Chu and other vassal states east of Hengshan that had been given to Jingdi.
Although it cannot be said that it is a smooth road to Yingdu after Hengshan, there is no longer a complex terrain like Hengshan, which means that if Hengshan is broken, the Wu-Chu coalition army will have the confidence and strength to come to Yingdu again.
"It takes twenty days to march from Hengshan to Yingdu like the Chu army, but if it is the Wu army, it only takes ten days!" Lin Yuyan's eyes moved away from the road from Hengshan to Yingdu, and instead aimed at the line from Hengshan to Shouying: "It's just that if this Hengshan returns to Shouying, although it is the same route, the Chu army can reach it in fifteen days at most, and it is possible that the light pawns and cavalry will take the lead in returning to Shouying within ten days!" ”
"Gongsun Qi and Xuan Ran sent troops from the fortress of Hukou, and the great river from Hengdong to Songyang must have more lookout platforms in the river, plus a pontoon bridge to lock the river, even if it is down the river, it will take at least three days to reach it...... The Andi of the Chu State, even if it bypasses the garrison soldiers and horses of the Chu State in Qing, Lu, Shu, Zong, Qian, Liu, Juchao and other places, it will take seven days at the earliest! ”
This kind of time urgency almost made Lin Yuyan dare not make a decision easily, after all, although the strange soldier is a strange soldier, there must be a lot of variables encountered along the way, such as the uncertain water situation of the river, and if the strange soldier sneaks into the heart of the Chu State, it must be a battle with the army of the Chu State guarding the place, etc., these must at least set aside three or five days so that the soldiers who are the strange soldiers have plenty of time to deal with the variables!
Lin Yuyan's eyes moved away from the map, and instead raised his head and glanced around at the surrounding Heng Mountain, this undulating and bumpy Heng Mountain, if it were not for the last resort, Lin Yuyan would not be willing to give up such a dangerous barrier.
But if you don't give up the Hengshan fortress and let the Wu-Chu coalition army advance westward again, then the surprise soldiers of Great Qin who rushed to Shouying of Chu with Xuan Ran and Gongsun Qi as generals will not have enough time to reach Shouying!
After thinking about it for half an hour, he was finally interrupted by the sound of war drums of the Chu army's attack on the Hengshan fortress, and Lin Yuyan said: "This Hengshan must have given up, but you can't completely pin your hopes on Gongsun Qi and Xuan Ran......
