Chapter Seventy-Six: The Remnant Temple
The Chu people were mostly madmen in Yu Zhou's eyes, and now, a madman among the madmen was frowning at the map. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiang Yan hadn't slept well for several days, the army of the Qin State was overwhelmed, and the Great Chu land that was damaged in battle was lost, and to this day, the best news he got was the complete Qin crossbow sent by his eldest son.
Since Korea was destroyed by Qin, this unique weapon was improved by the Qin army and equipped with a large number of weapons, which made the neighbors of Great Qin suffer a lot.
Now that the war is approaching, it is too late to expedite the build, Xiang Yan looked at the map, and thought hard about the best way to break the enemy.
Real internal and external troubles, Xiang Yan closed the map, closed her eyes and rubbed her head that was about to explode, only to feel that her thinking was clearer, and as soon as she let go, she pulled down a strand of gray hair, alas, she was old after all......
Da Chu is now unstable and demoralized, and the king who has an unstable foothold is in a hurry, and the king orders are urging one by one, but this march and battle can not make the slightest mistake, the slightest carelessness is the defeat of the army, which general dares to face the morale of the Qin army and claim victory?
Xiang Yan put on his helmet and shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! ”
As soon as the tent was lifted, a thick man entered: "General, what are your orders?" ”
As soon as he saw the visitor, Xiang Yan was surprised: "Why is it you, it's okay, let's take a closer look with me." ”
It was none other than Qu Ding, the deputy general of Xiang Yan who went on this expedition, Qu Ding was generous, and he had been friends with Xiang Yan for many years.
"How is the Qin crossbow imitated, it may come in handy before the big war?"
Qu Ding smiled bitterly: "Back to the general, the craftsmen of the army are really limited, and the Qin crossbow is complex and difficult to make, and in the past five days, a hundred craftsmen have only built thirty frames. ”
"How powerful is it compared to the captured Qin crossbow?"
"It's as powerful, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"The parts of the Qin crossbow can be replaced with each other, and if they are damaged, they can be put together quickly, while the crossbows we build are of different sizes, and once damaged, they can only be discarded."
Xiang Yan frowned: "How can Qin Jun make such a fine crossbow machine......
As a general of the unified army, it is not appropriate to think too much about these small things, Xiang Yan turned to ask: "Is there enough food and grass in the army?" ”
"There is only half a month's food in the army now, general, this time the last general will come back, and the king has another order."
Although he already knew the content of the royal order, Xiang Yan still motioned for Qu Ding to continue.
"The king said that if the general still can't break the Qin army before the grain and grass are exhausted, he will change the generals in the battle, and General Jing Qi will lead the whole army......"
Xiang Yan's face was expressionless, and he was responsible in his position, as long as he was still a general for a day, he must not easily shake his mind, even if it was the royal order of the king of Chu, he could not let him ignore the lives of the army, at this moment, the time to fight had not yet come.
"How's the contact with Ying Chen?"
"Back to the general, Yin Chen's side has already promised, and it is estimated that there will be movement within three or five days."
"Well, pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army, once there is a change in Yingchen, the Qin army is bound to react, and at that time, it will be a good time for our army to break through Qin!"
"Whoa!"
After settling everything, Xiang Yan unfolded the map again and looked at it, Pingyu, Tian Cheng, and Yingchen...... Every time the broad palm brushed it, the heart felt like it was torn. Especially in the land of Yingchen, a few decades ago, the Qin general Bai Qi captured Yingdu, which was still the capital of the Great Chu State at that time, and an unprecedented catastrophe followed.
As a general, Xiang Yan greatly admired Bai Qi, and he commanded the lone army in depth, but as a Chu man, he could not forget the harm that the war brought to the Chu State until he died.
Bai Qi's march is fierce and abnormal, Qin and Chu have been fighting for a hundred years, there are generals who are good at attacking and there are generals who are good at defending, but Bai Qi is a guy who is good at cutting and destroying all the living forces of the opponent.
Yancheng was flooded by his water, Yingdu became a ruin, and the fire in Yiling burned for seven days and seven nights! The capital of the country fell, the temple was ruined, and it was at that time that Qu Yuan, the doctor of Sanlu, threw himself into the river in anger, and the foundation of the Chu State for hundreds of years was destroyed.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yan's palms were broken, dripping with blood but he didn't notice the pain at all, it was the capital of a country that had been set since the time of King Wu of Chu, and it became a ruin!
Seeing that the more the general pondered, the more painful he became, he silently dealt with the injury on his palm, and when he was touched, Xiang Yan woke up and was bandaged by Qu Ding.
After taking a long breath, Xiang Yan no longer had the composure of a general, and asked his lieutenant general in confusion: "Ah Ding, you and I have been friends for decades, and now there are only the two of us, you tell me, can the land of Yingchen really succeed?" ”
For close people, the Chu people always call them Ah, since Xiang Yan called him so, then there are no more generals and deputy generals in this tent, only two old friends.
"Up...... Xiang Lao, whether it succeeds or not, you and I have no choice but to do it at this point, so it's better to wait and see. ”
"Where can I be completely calm, this victory and defeat is all thanks to the matter of Yingchen, and we are related to the lifeblood of Da Chu, you say, after so many years, there are still many righteous people who are committed to Da Chu......
"Although Xiang Lao can rest assured, no matter what Ying Chen said, it used to be where the Great Chu Temple was located, the Qin people were brutal, and now there is Changping Jun raising his arms and shouting, he will definitely be able to do it in one fell swoop!"
Speaking of Changpingjun, Xiang Yan listened vigilantly to the movements around him, and then said in a low voice: "Don't call him by his name until the matter is completed!" ”
Qu Ding stood up and clenched his fists: "Oh! ”
An old friend for many years suddenly became a lieutenant general again, and Xiang Yan's brain started again: "No, no, I have to think of a foolproof plan, our army has not moved for many days, the Qin army must have doubts, I have to divert their minds......"
"Why do you bother to do this, Qin General Li Xinai is a young and vigorous person, plus they have recently won a series of victories, they must be proud of their generals at this time!"
Xiang Yan smiled bitterly: "If our army thinks like you just said, then it will definitely be defeated!" As a mourning soldier and not self-improvement, counting on the enemy's arrogance to make mistakes, who is more arrogant than whom? ”
Qu Ding lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The last general knows his mistake, thank you for the general's teachings." ”
After thinking for a moment, Xiang Yan issued several military orders in a row: "Order, the craftsmen in the army will hurry up to build strong crossbows, prepare three days' rations for the whole army, and you will order 10,000 horses and horses, and make a big fanfare during the day to go south to Huaishui." ”
Qu Ding was in a hurry: "General, our army is already short of men, and it will be more dangerous for the last general to divide his troops again!" ”
"What's the hurry, you will lead the army back to the camp at night, and then divide the troops during the day and return to the camp at night every day in the future, you go and arrange the leading generals yourself, don't be seen by the Qin army!"
Qu Ding suddenly realized: "What does the general mean to make the Qin army mistakenly think that we plan to fight on the southern front?" But in this way, doesn't it make them even more suspicious that Yin Chen has changed? ”
"Fiction is real, reality is fiction, I didn't expect to respond to Ying Chen, Bai Qi gave us a good revelation, the victory or defeat is just a false name, only by eliminating the main force of the Qin army can I keep my Dachu stable for a few years, this time as long as Li Xin's army moves, it will be his death!"
