Chapter 418: The Chu Army Attacks Ying
It has come to July, the river water has skyrocketed to the highest water level in a year, the summer water has skyrocketed, and many parts of the city wall in the north of Yingdu are also soaked in the river, and those stone throwers have also lost their greatest utility, but also fortunately King Jing and Qin have reached an agreement, otherwise, the warships of Qin will directly pass some low city walls with the soaring river water, and directly rush into the city of Yingdu.
In fact, during this period of time, when they saw that the Qin people were constantly building pontoon bridges towards Yingdu, but those generals above did not give orders to block them, and even reduced the deployment of the northern city, and dropped the elite soldiers and horses in the direction of the eastern city, everyone already knew that the Qin State was a friend and not an enemy!
When the ships of the Qin State had already sailed to the city of Yingdu, as the pier of the pontoon bridge, and the soldiers of the Qin army carried the template to build the last section of the bridge, the generals of the northern city actually ordered to open the gate of the northern city.
The soldiers below naturally complied, after the north of the city was opened, even if the front of the Jing soldiers was less than a few zhang away, it was the Qin soldiers who had wanted to put them to death, and these Jing soldiers did not move, and then what was even more strange was that the pontoon bridge built by the Qin soldiers had not stopped moving for days.
Either the Qin soldiers escorted some carts to deliver a large amount of supplies in Yingdu, or the Jing soldiers sent the treasures ordered by King Jing Miyun to be transported from the palace treasury to the Qin army camp on the north bank.
Transactions, almost day and night, the palace treasury of Yingdu is mostly pearls and jade ornaments and exquisite bronzes, I have to say that the land of Jingchu and the land of Wu Yue are different from the Central Plains, the Central Plains has been the gradual popularization of ironware, the land of Jingchu and the land of Wu Yue still use the bronze forging technology, and the bronze forging technology has developed to the peak.
Among them, the bronzes in the land of Wuyue are mainly sharp soldiers, and the bronzes in the land of Jingchu are mainly exquisite bronze ornaments, and the exquisite bronzes assigned by Miyun to the Qin State are even the nine tripings cast by the old Chu royal family in imitation of Ji Zhou Wangji, each Jiuding is a thousand catties in weight, and more than a dozen tiger warriors need to lift it up.
It has to be said that the bronze reserves of Jingdi are very Jingren, and after getting the bronzes of Jingdi, Daqin has enough bronze materials to implement the currency system of Daqin, and it is precisely because of this that Zhecheng is now used as a transit place for Daqin to pile up a large number of bronzes, and a large number of bronzes moved from Yingdu are placed in Zhecheng, and then they are dispatched from Daqin to transfer the bronzes of Yingdu back to Daqin.
In fact, regarding the battle of Yingdu, the Qin State is already over, and when the city of Yingdu is broken in the future, Daqin only needs to send an elite soldier to pretend to cooperate with the Chu ** team to capture Yingdu, which is okay.
Therefore, Lin Yuyan's energy is now also focused on governing the land of Jiangbei, and Daqin also sent a group of officials to come, but after all, this is close to the Dajiang Basin, in the eyes of many scholars in the Central Plains, this place has not yet been civilized, and even the king of Chu at that time called himself a barbarian, precisely because of this, even if the Great Qin court promised high-ranking officials Houlu, no one came to this barbarian land.
Since the occupation of Yancheng, Ganyukou, Jingling, and Xinshi, the entire territory of Nanjun and Jiangxia has fallen into the hands of Daqin, which does not need Lin Yuyan to bother.
In fact, after the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Lin Yuyan defeated Yancheng, Ming Zifu came to Yancheng in person, and set up important counties such as Lu County, Yan County, and Ganyukou Pass in the southern part of the country.
Jiangxia, Jingling, and Xinshi are also the same.
But only this Zhecheng!
Although Zhecheng is ruled by dividing the river with Yingdu, in fact, in the old Chu period, Zhecheng was also a part of Yingdu, the capital of Chu, and was used as the back garden and granary of the king of Chu.
Once you master Zhecheng and make it into an impregnable level, it can almost be like a shackle to tightly lock the Chu State that occupies Yingdu, so that it cannot go north!
After weighing the pros and cons in this way, Lin Yuyan finally decided to expand the Han Water Army and transform it from a subsidiary soldier and horse in Jiangxia to a pillar of the country guarding the southern border of Great Qin, so Lin Yuyan also ordered many generals to recruit troops again in Zhecheng to keep the size of the Han Water Army at about 50,000 people.
At this time, Lin Yuyan knew the benefits of Jingchu, although the Qin army's campaign in the land of Jiangbei almost wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in the north of Jingdi, but under the temptation of Qin's grain, it also gathered a large number of people, as well as the rout of Jingdi.
Lin Yuyan also selected its elite 40,000 people and incorporated them into the Han Water Army, the new Han Water Army is no longer a water army, but an army that can adapt to amphibious operations, in order to integrate this army into use as soon as possible, Lin Yuyan still let the veterans of the Yulin Army train these Han Navy soldiers and soldiers, so that they can adapt to the military discipline of Daqin.
In fact, the Qin State has ended the southern expedition, so the construction of the Great Qin's blockade of Yingdu on the river has also become Lin Yuyan's top priority, Lin Yuyan on the basis of the original Wangjiang platform, once again doubled the number of Wangjiang platforms, but also local materials, dispatched Jiangxia craftsmen, in Zhecheng logging to build a large number of trebuchets.
When Daqin was sparing no effort to build the defense line of the Great River, the State of Chu also captured several camps outside the capital of Yingdu, and the King of Chu was even more at the forefront of the army of the State of Chu.
In addition, the deliberate welcome of the favored minister Fei Wuji on the side also made the King of Chu forgetful: "No matter how Wu and Qin are watching from the wall, they can't stop the lonely Chu State from recovering Yingdu!" ”
Fei Wuji hurriedly also suggested: "The king has worked hard to regain Jingdi with the power of the whole country, and restored the hegemony of the previous Chu kings. ”
"Good ......" Fei Wuji's words also made the king of Chu very happy, and at that moment the king of Chu pointed to the towering city wall of Yingdu, and did not hesitate to use any financial and material resources, and rewarded: "Whoever ascends the capital first, a thousand gold, kill the leader of the bandits in Yingdu, and give him a thousand households!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the king of Chu made such a heavy promise, so that the morale of the soldiers who fought hard in the Chu army today doubled, and the voice of Jin Ge sounded, which seemed to be like a wave, turning into bursts of murderous aura and surging into the Yingdu.
The king of Chu was also very happy to see that his soldiers were also so high, and he looked at Fei Wuji and said: "Wuji is worthy of being a minister to rely on, and a plan is to be able to inspire the lone army into such morale, and he should make a great contribution!" ”
Fei Wuji thanked: "Thank you for the king's reward, now Yingdu is already in the pocket of the Chu State, the minister is here, I wish the king to restore the prosperity of the Chu State and lay the general trend of the Chu State to win the Central Plains!" ”
"Haha......" King Chu laughed a few more times, Fei Wuji's words were undoubtedly extremely useful to King Chu, so King Chu also patted Fei Wuji's shoulder and said: "Wuji is really a lonely minister of the humerus!" ”
The personal guard of the king of Chu has been passed on to the various battalions of the Chu army as the king of Chu's heavy reward, and Jingshe, the general of the main battle, did not expect that the king of Chu made such a heavy promise in order to break through Yingdu.
Jingshe is also looking at Yingdu, and the soaring morale is also making Jingshe look at the towering walls of Yingdu, when he was young, Jingshe was also one of the many people who fled to Chudong after the Battle of Yingdu.
At that time, Jingshe was still young, and the civilians of the Jingdi riot really made Jingshe refresh his understanding of those subordinates who were usually obedient, and he didn't expect that the subordinates who seemed harmless to humans and animals in the past would actually have a day when they would chop wood as soldiers and unveil poles as flags.
Jingshe didn't expect that the soldiers of the Chu State who once supported the Chu State Luoshui to win the championship, drank the Yellow River, and dominated the Central Plains would actually be defeated by a group of mobs with wooden sticks, and even Ying, the blood worship place dedicated to the ancestors of the Chu royal family, was lost!
"A certain fugitive Yingdu made a heavy oath to his father-in-law, and now it is finally close at hand......" Jingshe, as the old Chu people in the past, although he has always been suspicious of the king of Chu, but the blood in his heart for the ancestral land has not been dissipated, Jingshe looked at the winding Yingdu city wall, and next to his ears was the sound of Chu soldiers shouting and killing, which also made Jingshe grasp the soldiers in his hands.
At present, it is only half an hour before the beginning of the rising sun, at least half an hour later, the sun is fully rising, and the sunlight is directly hitting the city wall in the east of Yingdu, which is the best time for the Chu army to attack Yingdu.
Although Jingshe was waiting with a calm face, only he knew the surging in his heart, and in this matter, the personal guards of the king of Chu had already come to Jingshe's side, and ordered: "The king has an order, Yingdu is close at hand, and the king encourages Shangzhushi to move troops as soon as possible to recover Yingdu and exterminate the traitors!" ”
"Whoa!" As Jing She expected, the King of Chu couldn't hold back the impatience in his heart, but Jing She also nodded cooperatively.
Subsequently, Jingshe also turned around, picked up his general's order, and carried out the last battle to attack Yingdu!
"Command General Naoya, lead 50,000 soldiers, carry siege equipment, and launch a siege on Yingdu!"
"Ordered General Qu to lead 30,000 soldiers who dare to die, wait for the siege army to defeat the guards of Yingdu, and lead the army to Yingdu first!"
"The two generals Yuanzhang and Xiang Min each led 70,000 soldiers, divided into left and right roads, to assist the Chinese army in capturing Yingdu!"
"The rest of the generals of the Chu army, lead the armies with a certain and recover ...... Yingdu! ”
