Chapter 114: Gui Xiang Sets Troops to South Vietnam
Liu Yi's journey was quite smooth, many small clans in Lingnan were willing to surrender, of course, the king of Qin did not have any rewards and favors, surrendered to peace and security, did not surrender and sent troops to exterminate, it was such a simple thing.

Some of the barbarians in Xiangcheng surrendered, and Lu Yan sent two thousand Qin troops among them, and then let the Changsha County Guard send people to manage many affairs in Xiangcheng for the time being.
As for the other redundant soldiers, they were all dismissed to Changsha County and Shu County, only Liu Yi and Fang Bi remained, plus the barbarian soldiers, there were 40,000 soldiers and horses, although it was a bit miscellaneous, but it was also a regular army.
After this discussion, Lu Yan already had a new plan, the land of Xiangcheng Guilin was taken, and only many places in the South China Sea, that is, the place where the alliance chieftain Yihu Song was located.
Adjacent to Jiujiang County, there are four cities, namely Panyu, Sihui, Boluo, Longchuan, and Yihu Song is in Longchuan City, as long as Yihu Song is captured, many forces in Nanyue Dongou will collapse.
Lu Yan led many soldiers and horses out of Changsha County and came directly to the downstream of Jiujiang County, this time he did not go to see Jiujiang County Guard, after all, the terrain of Jiujiang County is a bit like an island country, so it is not easy to connect, the county guard is in the upper class, Lu Yan's army is in the lower class, and there is no chance to see it at all.
It doesn't hurt to be stationed on the side of Baiyue, because there are more barbarians in Lu Yan's army, he still knows a little about the four counties of the South China Sea, one of the most important cities is Sihui County, as long as he captures Sihui County, it is simply the door of the South China Sea, and the Qin army can go straight to Longchuan City in one go.
On the edge of Jiujiang County, in the camp tent, Lu Yan was just pacing back and forth, and the remaining four cities were all connected to the mountains and the sea, which was really difficult to clean up, but it was relatively easy to take the first city.
Now the ancient city has been occupied, as long as people are sent to detour to the ancient city, this Panyu city will not be attacked, but the route from this ancient city to Panyu City is not clear at all.
"General, in my opinion, it is better to attack by force, a small Panyu, less than half of Xiangcheng, it is easy to attack." Zhao Tuo said with some disdain, obviously looking down on the city in front of him.
Lu Yan didn't answer, "Captain Ren, what do you think?" Instead, he asked Ren Huan next to him, and in Lu Yan's opinion, among the several soldiers, only Ren Huan was the most old-fashioned.
"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and now that we have occupied many cities, presumably many cities in the South China Sea must be on guard, so it is better to be cautious." Ren Huan said slowly.
Zhao Tuo stood up a little unconvinced, "What's so scary, no matter how powerful they are, they are barbarians after all, and they are not good at using soldiers at all, only poisonous arrows can be used." ā
Lu Yan frowned slightly, "The poisoned arrow is a sharp weapon, you still need to be careful, Brother Ziwen, how many crossbowmen are there at present, and what is the difference in power between them and ordinary bows and arrows?" ā
Lu Jing, who was originally sitting, heard Lu Yan ask, and immediately got up, "There are more than a hundred crossbowmen, and they are all from Hu Hai's side." ā
Lu Yan waved his hand, "Remove the crossbowmen next to Gongzi, replace them with archers, and attack Panyu City in another three days, they will use poisonous bows and arrows, and we will use strong bows and crossbows." ā
"General, why do you have to do it many times?" Zhao Tuo said a little unwillingly.
"It's not an extra move, it's just that I don't want too many casualties, Zhao Tuo Ren has a good rest these days, and Panyu City is handed over to Fang Bi and Liu Yi." Lu Yan said slowly.
"General, why is this, we can also fight, and please ask the general to command." Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo said with some dissatisfaction, and at the same time, Lu Yan also slightly instructed Fang Bi and Liu Yi to sort out the soldiers and horses, Lu Jing led a thousand men and horses, and more than 100 crossbowmen to march into Panyu City.
Seeing the three of them leaving, Lu Yancai sighed slowly, "Two captains, it's not that I don't need you, do you know that if Panyu City is taken, it is Sihui City, which is simply the gateway, I want to ask the two of you to have a good rest and take Sihui City in one fell swoop, you two will not be able to take over this important task, otherwise, I will let Fang Bi Liu Yi stay, and attack Sihui City in the future, how about you choose a day to attack Panyu City?" ā
Listening to Lu Yan's words, Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan just shook their heads, "Actually, this arrangement is very good, and we don't have any complaints." Zhao Tuo said immediately.
As everyone knows, in ancient wars, soldiers were proud and liked to accept difficult cities by themselves.
On that day, at noon, Fang Bi and Liu Yi led their 5,000 soldiers to ambush outside the city, and Lu Jing immediately shouted outside the city gate.
"Panyu City Lord, come and vote quickly, we Daqin will spare you from dying." Lu Jing shouted very imposingly, and not long after, an old man in his fifties stood out from the city gate, his face was wrinkled, his face was a little gloomy, he was wearing Qin clothes, his hands were upright, and he smoothed his beard slightly.
"Qin Jun is still here after all." said slowly, as if he had known about it for a long time.
"What does the lord think?" The lieutenant general next to him said very indifferently.
"The Qin army is brave, sticks to the city, and orders to release arrows, don't answer." The city lord of Panyu said lightly, and then walked towards the back of the city gate tower.
With an order, many arrows shot towards the city, but Lu Jing did not leave, it turned out that Lu Jing was standing a little far away, and the arrows could not be shot at all.
Seeing that the arrows were raining down on the city, but they didn't have any effect, Lu Jing just sneered, and then waved his hand to the rear, and after a while, more than a hundred crossbowmen lined up behind Lu Jing.
"Ready, release the arrows!" Lu Jing gave an order.
The power of the bow and crossbow is far from being comparable to ordinary bows and arrows, at least dozens of meters farther than them, although they have an advantage in the city, but it is not big, and the barbarian bows and arrows are not as good as the Central Plains, not a little worse.
These bows and crossbow arrows can actually shoot the archers on the city gate tower, the city lord of Panyu can't help but be a little surprised, and the crossbowmen can not block the city gate tower at all with four arrows at a time.
In less than a moment, the archers on the top of the city tower had fallen a hundred and ten people, and the city lord of Panyu was a little unbearable, so he immediately waved his hand to defend the city gate tower and no longer let go of arrows.
At this time, Liu Yi's army arrived, quickly moved forward, and shot the lit bow and arrow on the city tower, and Fang Bi took the opportunity to attack the city with rough wood, and after a while, the city gate showed traces of breakage.
It is just a barbarian, because the terrain here is biased, there are no streams, and the ground is mostly rubble, so there is no moat at all, just wooden doors and mud walls.
The two sides relied on the mountain as a wall, wanting to escape and abandon the city, only to flee backwards, the city lord of Panyu just went down the city tower and saw the sound of the city gate cracking, and also knew that the Qin army had approached.
The city lord of Panyu did not seem to be reconciled, and immediately waved his hand, so that the archers on the city tower continued to release arrows, and it was about to be a lose-lose situation, Fang Bi saw the arrows on the city tower, and did not signal to retreat, and continued to order a strong attack.
And the crossbowmen here are also constantly firing, plus Liu Yi's archers, the barbarian archers on the city gate tower are just bowing their heads and firing arrows indiscriminately, even if there is danger, they must attack, and the loss at this moment is necessary.
