Chapter 188: Cutting Minyue

"Drive!"

……

Riding out, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, led the army under his command to leave Pengcheng, he knew in his heart that the soldiers were fast, and once the war intention was revealed, he had to act quickly.

This war, in fact, should be a thunderous attack, when the Central Plains countries are stunned, to break through Minzhong County.

In this way, it will be a huge boost to the prestige of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, and the military spirit of the Chu army.

Regarding the benefits of the war, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, and others are naturally clear, and they are naturally clear about the consequences of defeat.

Because of this, Xiang Tiancai divided his troops into two routes, and personally led the army to attack Huanglong.

……

"Boom ......"

The 50,000 army was exhausted, the huge horses' hooves roared, and the foot soldiers cooperated with the cavalry, and they came out of Pengcheng, out of Donghai County, straight into Huiji, and then went south to Damo.

This time, Xiang Tian did not hide the slightest bit of troops, and he didn't even have the slightest defense.

Generally speaking, the expedition of the army is a major national event, and generally at this time, the pass will be blocked and the spies of the Central Plains countries will be expelled.

But Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, never thought about it like this, he just wanted to tell the people of the world that after five years, Great Chu would once again raise troops.

Besides, the fundamental reason why Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was unscrupulous was that Minzhong County was located on the southeast coast, and was surrounded by Nanyue, Lujiang, and Huiji.

Even if the king of Minyue wants to ask for help, he can't reach it, and in the face of the large-scale pressure of the Chu army, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, may not easily send troops.

In this way, Minzhong County is not much of a threat at all, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, has long known about this from the intelligence of the vulture.

He knew in his heart that the attack on Minzhong County was not only to consolidate the rear, but also to obtain more intelligence and information from South Vietnam.

The land of Xiang County, Guilin County, and Nanhai County must not be left outside, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, has no time to wait for a few generations to solve it.

Because he did not dare to guarantee that among the later kings of the Chu State, there would be a peerless hero like Emperor Wu, and because of this, Nanyue had to be solved in this era.

……

"Uncle Sun, where are you now?"

"Prince, it has been three days since our army went south, and the army came out of Pengcheng, all the way south, and it has reached the end of the day."

……

Glancing at the endless sky, a gleam flashed in the eyes of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, and said, "Order the army to set up camp in Wushu City and set off again tomorrow." ”

"No."

Nodding in agreement, Uncle Sun raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, conveying Xiang Tian's military order, and Xiao Kai and others, who got the military order, commanded the army to set up camp.

Because they were marching in a hurry, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, did not enter Wushu City, and he knew in his heart that the entry of 50,000 troops into the city would be too disturbing to the people.

Doing so is not in line with his original intention!

……

This time, the army that followed Xiang Tian to the south, some of them were veterans who followed him across the Central Plains, and they were naturally a lot faster in their hands.

In a short period of time, the large army camp has been completed, not to mention that this place is backed by a moat, guarded by a large army on three sides, and the Chu army scouts are advancing ten miles.

The large military camp tents are scattered, and the guards patrol back and forth, which can be said to be heavily guarded, and even a mosquito cannot be mixed in.

……

Around the middle of a big tent, the tent is guarded layer by layer, like the stars guarding the sun, so that people can see from afar that the status of this big tent is clear.

In the big tent, the prince of Chu, Xiang Tian, sat with a golden knife, and under it were Yu Ziqi, Zhong Liwu, Zhu Lishi, Xiao Kai and other generals.

"Li Wentong, are there any people among the vultures who are familiar with the mountains and terrain of Minyue?"

Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, knew in his heart that if they wanted to send troops to attack Minyue, the most difficult line was how to cross the high mountains and dense forests between Huiji and Minzhong County.

In these places, poisonous insects, wolves, tigers and leopards are common, the mountains are towering into the clouds, the cliffs are thousands of feet, and there are countless abysses, and there is no road to pass at all.

Even if there is an official road, it will inevitably be guarded by the king of Minyue, and once the Chu army chooses the official road, this means that it will be exposed in advance.

He can expose the news of the troops, but he can't reveal the intention of the next step, after all, war is about taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared.

Once the Minyue King Wuzhu is prepared, I am afraid that the casualties of the army will increase exponentially.

"Prince Yu, there are people among the vultures who are familiar with the terrain of Minyue, but as far as the minister knows, there is no way for our army to advance on a large scale between Huiji and Minzhong County."

"There are only a few sheep intestine paths to cross, so it will be a huge test for our army."

……

"Lone knows!"

Nodding, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, didn't react much, he knew in his heart that Minyue County in this era was simply barren land.

Even if with the attack of the Qin army, the population gradually prospered, but compared with the populous Central Plains, there is still a huge gap.

At this time, the southeast coast can be said to be full of primeval forests, far less prosperous than after the economic center of gravity of the Central Plains moved south.

"The situation in Minzhong County is also expected, as the war continues, even the prosperous Central Plains is in ruins at the moment."

"Not to mention such a barren land!"

Chu Prince Xiang Tianhu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he glanced at Li Wentong deeply and said.

"Immediately find people who are familiar with the topography of Minyue, whether they can quickly advance into Minyue this time and destroy this great enemy in one fell swoop depends on them."

"No."

Nodding in agreement, Li Wentong hurriedly turned around and walked out, he knew in his heart that no matter whether this matter was reliable or not, as long as it involved the war, it would be the most important thing for the current Chu army.

For this, he has nothing to slack off, although Li Wentong controls the vulture and the brocade guard, but his insight and talent are not inferior to anyone in the world.

He naturally knew that this war would have a huge impact on the Chu army, the Chu State, and Xiang Tian, the crown prince of Chu.

The victory or defeat of this war is directly related to the success or failure of the recent series of reforms of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, and the need for him to give an explanation to the Chu court.

Similarly, for the Chu army, this is the first large-scale move of the Chu army since the defeat of the Chu army, and the number of victories and defeats has a huge impact on the confidence of the Chu army's officers and soldiers.

Similarly, the victory or defeat of this war has too much impact on the hearts of the people of Chu and the prestige of the Xiang clan among the people of Chu.

Because of this, whether it is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, or Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, they all attach great importance to this matter, which is also the reason why Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, directly appointed Xiang Tian as the commander.

In this war, there is only victory and no defeat, and there is absolutely no room for turnaround.
