Chapter 419: The curtain is over
The battle of the Chu army to attack Ying, finally opened, the battle was fierce, Lin Yuyan, who was more than ten miles away, could faintly hear the sound of fighting outside Yingdu for several days, in recent years, maybe it was the three families divided into Jin, or it was possible that the Tian family had mastered the power of Qi, and the wars in the Central Plains were not comparable to the fierce battle of the Battle of Yingdu.
In the final analysis, it is the Central Plains countries within their own borders, successively built a large number of straight roads, but also in order to support the entire vassal state of the combat system, the Central Plains princes still in their respective borders to choose a variety of post stations, the township of the people of the conscription system, and Henan Chu, Wu and Qin during the war requisitioned the people into the battle sequence, very different.
The soldiers of Qi and the Three Jin Dynasty already had military salaries, and this had started decades ago, on the other hand, the Qin State, after Lin Yuyan formed the Yulin Army, tried to meet the self-sufficiency of an army with a local tax, and the Qin Duke implemented this system in the territory of Great Qin.
In the Battle of Hexi decades ago, the Jin Wei clan only had 50,000 Wei warriors, and they were able to defeat the Qin army that had gathered 500,000 old Qin people in one fell swoop, chasing them to the north, so that the old Qin people carried out the migration.
This is also the reason why the Chu army fought so bravely in attacking the city of Yingdu, in order to capture Yingdu, the king of Chu did not hesitate to scatter thousands of gold and thousands of marquis as a reward to encourage the soldiers to go to Yingdu first, but in Yingdu, he has already experienced several battles of veterans, especially in the case of knowing that Yingdu could not be defended, Qi Cheng ordered to take out all the granaries accumulated during the period of Zhurong Tiangong.
All the soldiers who defend the city, their relatives get enough food, retreat with King Jing, and the rest of the soldiers are also full of food and drink every day in Yingdu, and the soldiers of the Jing army who are free from worries are also very brave in battle, and the morale of the soldiers of Chu is fierce, and even several times the soldiers of Chu borrowed a ladder to climb the head of the city of Yingdu, but they were cut down and dropped down the city wall by the soldiers of Jing, and the bones were shattered!
In this way, almost for three or four consecutive days, almost in the tug-of-war between Chu and Jing, the king of Chu also lost his last patience, and said angrily: "Go to Gu to inform Wu and Qin, and cooperate with Chu to capture Yingdu!" ”
Man Chengran replied truthfully: "In the past few days, I have sent people to urge, but the Wu army is under the pretext that the king of Jingdi Nan led an army of 100,000 to support Yingdu, and the Wu army is desperately resisting, as for the Qin State, it is also crossed by the river, and under the strict defense of the Jing army, it is difficult to cross the river to attack Yingdu!" ”
"Humph!" The king of Chu snorted coldly, at this time, how could the king of Chu still not understand that Wu and Qin were sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but the king of Chu could not blame the two, because whether it was Wu or Qin, the king of Chu had no way to make any promises except that he had already occupied the lost territory, and the reason was because the king of Chu was never willing to share the accumulation in the Yingdu with Wu and Qin.
The king of Chu was furious, and he issued several edicts to the general Jingshe, although the edict on the surface was only an inquiry, in fact, how could the old Jingshe not understand, this is the king of Chu reproaching.
In fact, Jingshe is still retaining strength, the more you want to attack the lower Yingdu, the more Jingshe has an extremely ominous tremor in the depths of her heart, the reason is that it is precisely because Jingshe has noticed that after occupying Yingdu, where will it go?
At the beginning, Jing She still thought that it was because he was worried that after his high merits, the King of Chu had the heart to cook the birds and hide the rabbits and dead dogs, so from the beginning of this battle, Jing She was very wise to protect himself and return all the knowledge of the battle commander to the King of Chu himself, but more and more at the last moment, Jing She finally understood where the ominous feeling of premonition in his heart came from!
Wu! And the State of Qin!
Jingshe had already expected that after the Chu State recovered the Yingdu, it almost meant that the land of Western Chu returned to the State of Chu again, and said without hesitation that as long as the land of Western Chu was recovered, even if the State of Chu faced the joint attack of the princes of the Central Plains a hundred years ago, it would not be much of a threat, after all, the vast territory of the State of Chu was enough to consume more enemy soldiers and soldiers.
Occupying the land of western Chu, the state of Chu also has enough power to go north, so what was done before must be to solve the state of Wu and the state of Qin, which are extremely disrespectful to themselves in the Xincai Alliance, it is in this situation, is there no capable person in the state of Wu and Qin who can see it?
Qin State aside, just take out the Wu State, there is a faction in the court of Wu State that is almost formed by the Chu people, known as the "Dead Chu Party", which is headed by Wu Yuan and Bo Pi, and even Sun Changqing, the most famous general of Wu State, is regarded as most of the "Dead Chu Party".
The reason for this is that Wu Yuan and Bo Pi are the only sons of the family who fled from Chu State, and their family died in the edict issued by the King of Chu himself, killing their father's hatred and destroying their clan, so that whether it is Wu Yuan, Bo Pi, or Sun Changqing, who seeks to make meritorious contributions, they all support Wu to launch a war against Chu!
Especially after the Dead Chu Party helped King Wu annex the Yue Kingdom, the reputation of the Dead Chu Party has surpassed the local power of Wu State, and almost all King Wu thinks that the Dead Chu Party is the most important help for Wu to go north to fight for hegemony.
This is how Wu Guo, who does not want to die in Chu all the time, actually agreed to the new Cai Huimeng of Chu and respected Chu as the leader of the alliance, originally Jingshe still thought that Wu was forced to join the alliance because of the threat of Chu to launch the Xincai Huimeng, but now carefully investigate the various movements of Wu in the Yuzhang battlefield, it is undoubtedly not to add a few doubts to Jingshe's heart.
Therefore, Jingshe has always reserved the last strength for the Chu State, especially after the Battle of Hengyang, Jingshe would rather treat Fei Wuji as an outcast, and return to the base camp with the elite soldiers of the Chu State, rather than taking the slightest risk.
"The king of Chu is a generation of heroes, but he is the only one...... Rush for quick success! Jing She sighed, now Yingdu is almost in the bag, but the King of Chu is still unwilling to wait too long, Jing She even doubts, if he continues to maintain a slight advantage in attacking Yingdu, the King of Chu will definitely change the main general!
The king of Chu was able to do this, but Jing She was unwilling to take the risk of changing the main general, especially Jing She had already had an obsession with recovering Yingdu, so after making a simple weighing of the pros and cons, Jing She also gave the king of Chu's personal envoy an accurate reply: "Three days...... At most, in three days, the royal flag of Chu will be planted in the city of Yingdu! ”
The prince of Chu greeted Jing She with a smile and said a few words, that is, he left with a smile, watching the prince of Chu leave, Jing She's face gradually became gloomy, looking back, looking at the city wall of Yingdu in the midst of the war and the sound of fighting, still standing in the sea of corpses and blood, the bloody atmosphere diffused in the air also made Jing She feel sideways, and finally said: "Order the left and right armies, do not have to guard against Wu and Qin, and make every effort to break through the blockade of the Jing army to Yingdu!" ”
"Whoa!"
Sure enough, under the all-out attack of the Chu army on Yingdu, the Jing army was defeated and retreated, and the city wall of Yingdu, which was known as impregnable, was also bombed by the Chu army's non-stop stone throwers day and night, and became devastated.
The next day, near noon, there was a sudden thunderstorm, which came and went quickly, and when it saw this heavy rain, Jingshe was also overjoyed: "The time to help Da Chu also!" ”
It is also because of this thunderstorm that the Dongzhu State Mi Cheng who defends the city also has some compassion, but there is not much worry, from beginning to end, the Dongzhu Guo Mi Cheng never thought that he could hold the Yingdu with the full strength of the Chu army.
Perhaps it was the reason for this rain, and it also made Dongzhu Guo Mi Cheng think that the destiny was difficult to do, so he sent someone to inform Mi Yun to withdraw his troops.
When Mi Yun withdrew his troops from the west of Yingdu, Wu and Qin also reorganized their armies, eyeing each other and showing their greedy fangs in the Yingdu.
Another day later, because of yesterday's short thunderstorm, the Chu soldiers and soldiers carried out another indiscriminate bombardment towards the rain-soaked city walls, and those big stones would carry some rammed earth of the city walls every time to stain some of the flesh and blood of the Jing army, almost at night, the Chu soldiers and soldiers were also picking up the lights in the field.
Finally in the afternoon of today, a section of the eastern city wall of Yingdu collapsed, looking at the original towering Yingdu city wall finally appeared a gap, and the Jingshe who had been waiting for several days also pulled out his sword, and pointed towards Yingdu: "The king has a reward, the first to climb the Yingdu, the reward is a thousand gold, kill the head of the enemy bandits, seal a thousand households!" ”
Those voice wrestlers also repeated Jingshe's words, Lu Hong said: "The king has a reward, the first to ascend to the capital of Ying, the reward is a thousand gold, kill the head of the enemy bandits, and seal the marquis of a thousand households!" ”
"Kill!"
The soldiers of Chu, whose eyes were almost scarlet at the sound of reward, were also like hungry wolves that had seen blood and food, and they rushed to the gap in the Yingdu like a rising tide.
Seeing this, Jingshe also looked up at the sky, and was able to lead the army to capture Yingdu, Jingshe was also very excited, the appearance of this gap also announced that the Chu army had occupied Yingdu and lost the support of the Yingdu city wall, and the Jing army could only retreat!
For half a pillar of incense, Jing She had already seen the Chu soldiers rushing into the Yingdu City in a steady stream, and he could imagine how the Jing soldiers in the Yingdu were defeated and retreated in front of the Chu army.
"Ahh
A sharp hissing sound of pain also made Jing She's eyes fall into Yingdu, the sound appeared within that gap, and there was more than one, that kind of terrible pain hiss seemed to make Jing She feel the trembling of his soul!
"This!"
Almost the roar of 10,000 people, Jingshe could see that within the gap, there were a large number of Chu soldiers retreating backwards, because the charge and influx of the rear soldiers also caused a large number of trampling accidents.
"What the hell is going on!"
Jing She's eyes were split, and then he crossed the gap in the wall of Yingdu, and looked at the city, there seemed to be a burst of fire, and after a while, a large number of Chu soldiers dressed in flames ran out of Yingdu, rushing towards the formation.
This landscape is like facing a fire dragon, which is swallowing a fire snake, and after a while, the monstrous fire is from the Yingdu City, quickly spreading to the Chu army's main formation, accompanied by bursts of hysterical screams......
