Chapter 430: The Qin Army Attacked
The eastern sky was white, and the sound of the river rolling eastward was also sweeping the red that had penetrated into the river yesterday and flowing eastward.
The general of the Chu army, Yuanzhang Department, was awake early because of the urge to urinate, and was about to find a place to solve it, but suddenly heard a rumbling low voice, which was far away, if it wasn't for the silent dawn, the noise in the ordinary Chu camp would not be heard at all.
"It's the direction of the northern city occupied by the Qin people!"
This soldier was alert, he was King Qin's Yuanzhang Department, and he made up for the garrison here last night, and he did not come into contact with the real battle with the Qin people, but as an old soldier's vigilance, it also made this person stand on a high ground in the camp of the Chu State, which is the beam of a large family in Yingdu, and now the owner has disappeared and has been occupied by the Chu army as a camp.
This soldier looked along the north-west, only to see the silent night of the Qin army's north city, suddenly appeared a few tall stone throwing carts, the preset direction, is the camp where he is, the Chu soldier was shocked, he was the Chu army used to observe the enemy's movements at night, this time is the dawn of night and day, it is the time for the Chu army to change guards.
And the soldiers who were sleepy and unstoppable had already returned to the camp to rest, who could have expected that the Qin army, which seemed to have been tamed by the reinforcements of the Chu State, had actually set up a war weapon at night!
"Whew!"
When this soldier was about to call those soldiers who changed guards, in the slightly dim sky, I don't know where in the Chu camp, suddenly shot a crossbow arrow, an arrow sealed the throat, the body of the Chu soldier fell on the lookout, and the movement caused by it was also seen by other soldiers, and there was no shortage of people with sharp eyes who saw the crossbow arrow on this person's neck!
"It's the Qin people...... Enemy attack! The Qin people are coming! ”
In the dark, the centurion of the Qin army hidden on the ridge of a house in Yingdu, judging by his face, it was the centurion of the scout battalion when Lin Yuyan was in charge of the Yulin Army, Chu Yu, I don't know if he saw the Mo barracks of the Yunmeng Army, during this time, the major general of the Yulin Army Fang Hui was also modeled on the Mo Barracks, and the scout battalion in the Yulin Army became an army that was good at spying on military intelligence and assassinating secretly.
Chu Yu once again wound the crossbow in his hand, and looked back at the camp of the Chu army again, seeing that this Chu soldier fell from the lookout and disturbed the Chu people, Chu Yu also didn't have much intention of missing, and if he didn't shoot the crossbow arrow just now, the shouts of this Chu pawn would also remind the other Chu soldiers that the Qin people were ready to go to war!
Looking back at the Qin army, the dozens of trebuchets have been built before and after, but because the Yingdu is not open, these trebuchets are not lined up, but lined up front and back, and what the Qin people want to get in this battle is that now the Chu army occupies this place, as long as it occupies this place, the trebuchet of Daqin can be deployed, and less than five miles away from the Chu camp here, it is the core of the entire Yingdu - the old Chu Palace!
Chu Gangster, who had not closed his eyes all night, also looked at the Chu camp that had started a riot, and also blew the iron whistle hanging on his chest, and after a sharp whistle, the scout battalion soldiers hidden in the periphery of the Chu camp also withdrew from the original ambush one after another, covering the main camp of the Qin army overnight, and finally completed the task at this moment!
After the scout battalion soldiers withdrew, less than half a pillar of incense, the dozens of catapults had already been loaded with stone bullets, which seemed to have found out where the soldiers were gathered in the Chu camp, and dozens of stone bullets were directly thrown at the place where the soldiers and soldiers in the Chu camp met.
I don't know why, when the subsequent Qin army soldiers entered the Chu army, the Chu army was defeated in a battle, and yesterday when it was still able to fight in Beicheng, there was no comparison at all, in the Qin army entered the Chu camp to collect and surrender the Chu soldiers, the first wave of stone bullets just hit several generals in the Chu army camp, when the main general Yuanzhang went to the Shangzhu Kingdom Jingshe, the horizontal death of these Chu generals also made the Chu soldiers lose their backbones, and they were killed by the Qin soldiers for a while, that is, they lost this camp and were taken by the Qin army!
Subsequently, the Qin army imprisoned these prisoners of war, and after successfully taking over the Chu camp, they once again pushed the catapult front of the Great Qin to the front of the Chu camp, which was the closest place to the old Chu palace.
The king of Chu was pushed up by the eunuchs in a panic, and the eunuchs panicked and said that it was the Qin people who came in, and before the king of Chu could believe it, a big stone bullet smashed a big hole in the beam of the palace where the king of Chu was.
Qin's catapult is the use of compound torque, those Jingguo tung oil soaked cow tendon, hemp rope is enough to make the distance of these catapults reach more than 1,000 steps, on the river, because it is to take into account the bearing capacity of the hull and the reaction force of the catapult, the effect of the catapult of the Great Qin catapult has not really appeared.
At this time, after the Qin army occupied the Chu camp of the Yuanzhang Department, it was only three or four miles away from the old Chu Palace, and the stone bullet was just the heaviest catapult in Daqin, and the old Chu palace was worthy of the palace wall that the old Chu had tamped for hundreds of years, and in front of the catapult of Daqin, the old Chu palace was still able to stand, so the Qin army was covered all the way and finally stopped in front of the palace gate of the old Chu palace.
He originally wanted to be entangled with the Qin army for two days, and took this opportunity to send a group of soldiers and horses across the river to return to the vicinity of Zhecheng to force the Qin army to return.
"Report! In Shangzhu Kingdom, General Yuanzhang's headquarters has been repelled by the Qin army, and the king has sent an edict from King Qin! ”
Jing She frowned, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the Qin army with his own eyes, and Jing She also knew that the Qin State at this time was no longer the Qin State at that time, and those Qin soldiers who were strong and stubborn were not only brave, but also indomitable, especially the Qin soldiers who were only seven or eight hundred the day before yesterday, which was the time to be able to resist a stick of incense in front of tens of thousands of Chu troops, and the precious time to fight for the subsequent Qin army to cross the river and land, Jing She saw the terrible Qin army.
"Who can know that Xincai Huimeng, Da Chu actually recruited two wolves!"
Jing She sighed, and then also sent his soldiers and horses to the old Chu Palace, King Qin, at this time, if the King of Chu died under the Qin army, the new Cai Huimeng would be the biggest laughing stock of the Chu State, not to mention whether the Chu State could restore the peak strength of the former Central Plains overlord, even if it was not easy to maintain the national strength of the Xincai Huimeng.
When Jingshe soldiers and horses rushed to the old Chu Palace, with the tall and hard palace walls, the Chu soldiers were struggling to resist the Qin army, but looking at those throwing stones flying from the sky, it also made Jingshe a little frightened.
Seeing the reinforcements of Chu from all walks of life, the Qin people finally retreated, and Jingshe was also under the escort of his cronies, and came to the main hall where the king of Chu was, at this time the king of Chu was sitting on the bed, and seven or eight zhang in front of him, there was a big round stone embedded in the ground of the palace, and there were still two sets of remnants around the round stone.
At first glance, this is the Chu people who were unfortunately hit by the flying stones of the Qin people.
Seeing the arrival of the Shangzhu Kingdom Jingshe, the King of Chu was also shocked and pointed to the round stone and asked, "Shangzhu Kingdom, this round stone was made by the Qin people?" ”
Jing She nodded, looked at the panicked face of the King of Chu and finally explained: "Don't hide it from the king, among the Qin army today, as far as the minister can see, there is a shipbuilding technique that is not weaker than that of the Chu State, and a stone-throwing vehicle that is several times more powerful than the stone-throwing car of the Chu State. ”
In the past, if the king of Chu heard this sentence, he would definitely scold Jing She for this remark to grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, in fact, a few days ago, when Jing She refused to defeat the battle on the river, Jing She did not say it clearly, and the king of Chu already had the meaning of reprimanding.
But at this moment, seeing the flying stones of the Qin people smashing the two eunuchs in his dormitory into two lumps of flesh, the King of Chu was really frightened, looking at the Jingshe, and the periphery of the Chu Palace that gradually quieted down, more than ten years ago, the King of Chu launched a battle to seize the throne, and in the bloody battle, there was no fear, but at this moment, the King of Chu knew that his courage and blood had already been exhausted in so many years of greedy pleasure!
"Lonely...... Can Great Chu defeat Qin? ”
King Chu finally raised his head, looked at Jingshe, asked hesitantly, and added: "Tell the truth to Gu!" ”
Jing She said: "Over the years, the Qin people slaughtered the Jing people by no means a few, just the battle of Yancheng, the Qin people were flooded nearly 300,000 Jing people, before that, the Qin State still had several wars in the north of the Han River, the big victory killed 100,000 Jing people, and the small victory was also the destruction of Jing 10,000 people, when the Chu State was east of Hengshan, the Qin State had already captured Xiangyang, Everywhere and other places in the hands of the Jing people, and the Qin people were too deep! ”
Jing She said: "If the Chu people are willing to fight to the death with Qin, they can win, but it is a tragic victory, the Qin people can retreat to Jiangbei, which is north of the Han River, but the Great Chu has lost the last elite, the king must not forget, in the land of Jiangdong, there is also the Wu State that is eyeing the tiger!" ”
The series of numbers and examples that Jing She said also made the King of Chu look like a dead face, and it seemed that he also believed what Jing She said about the achievements of the Qin State, and it was precisely because of this that the King of Chu, who was awakened by the Qin people's courage from the great cause of hegemony, also had mixed feelings, and his eyes fell on the two remnants of the body that were hit by the flying stones of the Qin State, and finally said in a low voice: "Spread the left disciples, send an envoy to the Qin camp, and negotiate peace with Qin ......"
