Chapter 420: Xiang Zhuang's Conspiracy
The walls are about to fall.
Once the Qin army broke a section of the city wall, the impact on the defenders of the city would be fatal, in the southern city, except for Mei Juan's Baiyue soldiers, most of the Changsha soldiers were only forced to fight for the Meiyue tribe, if they could not block this group of Qin soldiers who came up in time, the Changsha soldiers were very likely to disperse immediately.
Mei Juan's face was gloomy like water.
The incompetence of the Changsha soldiers made him feel sad and angry that he was about to vomit blood and die.
But right now, apart from these cannon fodder soldiers, what does he use to consume the Qin army's life, is it to send the elite soldiers of Wuling Baiyue? No, after suffering a big loss, Mei Juan has become much more cautious.
Now, he has only one hole card.
And whether the Qin army on the other side has other weapons in his hands, Mei Juan has no way of knowing.
"Someone, send a team of archers up, in the direction of the left, volley, no order, don't stop!" Mei Juan thought for a moment, showed a fierce expression, and shouted.
Baiyue Zhubu.
The most powerful weapon is the bow and arrow, compared with the Qin army's precision crossbow, the production of the Yue bow has taken another path, that is, simple and simple.
Using the most common bamboo in the jungle and mountains to make arrows, using hard walnut wood in the mountains and forests, acacia wood, etc. to make wooden bows, and then on the tip of the arrows, coated with the juice of poisonous snakes, such a sharp arrow, although it can not compete with the Qin army with obvious advantages in terms of lethality, but it can also see blood to seal the throat, giving the opponent the maximum damage.
Soldiers of the Hundred Yue.
Good at shooting.
Tu Sui, the former captain of the Qin State, died under the poisonous arrows of the Baiyue people, this time, Mei Juan did the same trick, and did not expect that the opponent would shoot even his own people. Even the bravest of the military marquis clutched his chest, staring at a pair of unwilling eyes and falling in a pool of blood. Around him, the Changsha soldiers fell to the ground, and it is estimated that they couldn't figure out how they could have been hit by an arrow in the back when they arrived in Zuihou.
Covered by a salvo of brutal excess. Mei Juan's army once again suppressed the momentum of the Qin army, and after losing the most elite one, Ji Bu's army only failed in the siege battle the next day.
Battle for the Walls.
Still in the hands of Mei Juan's army, after two days of fierce fighting, the Changsha soldiers in Mei Juan's hands have dropped sharply from more than 10,000 at the beginning to less than 6,000, in other words, nearly 4,000 Changsha soldiers lost their lives in this battle, even if they were not killed by the Qin army, they would be killed by their own indiscriminate arrows.
"Mei Yue warriors. Invincibility! ”
"Invincible!"
In the city, cheers rang out, and the unrestrained Baiyue soldiers excitedly raised the bamboo arrows and wooden guns in their hands, and in stark contrast to them, the numb and ruthless faces of the Changsha soldiers next to them were all in stark contrast.
The fate of cannon fodder has long been sealed.
If they want to change their ending, unless the Changsha soldiers rise up and fight, they will fight back against the Meiyue people who enslaved them, but, do they dare?
Do they have the courage?
The answer is in their own hearts.
Changsha Bing's mind fluctuated. Mei Juan was not interested in caring, she was just a group of lowly slaves, and being able to repel the Qin army in the bloody battle on the second day was what Mei Juan was most excited about.
The next day, after the fighting was over. Mei Juan also saw that on the side of the Qin army, Ji Bu was actually holding on, and the morale of the Qin army, which was seriously attritional, was declining day by day. It's no longer the same sharpness as it was a month ago.
Now it's a matter of who can last longer.
Fortunately, although Mei Juan is a little harder to defend the city, he still has a secret trick waiting for him. That was Xiang Zhuang's troops, who had been ambushed on the flank of the Qin army early in the morning.
For defeating the Qin army. Xiang Zhuang is more eager and crazy than Mei Juan. In the past year, Xiang Zhuang, who had the idea of recovering Chu, wandered around like a lost dog under the pursuit of the Qin army.
In the past month, Xiang Zhuang's troops have been recuperated, especially after annexing and digesting 5,000 Changsha soldiers, and finally returned to the scale of 7,000 people, which also gave Xiang Zhuang the strength to take the initiative to attack again.
——。
Gan water.
Days of drizzle caused the water volume of the river to rise rapidly, and the Qin army camp camped on the riverside had to move to the high ground near the side of the mountain forest.
In the middle of the mountains and forests.
Danger is everywhere.
But as it stands, the hidden danger has not yet happened, and if we continue to stay on the riverside, the violent rapids will wash away the entire barracks one night.
In the middle of the camp.
The busy military doctors are shuttling back and forth to treat the wounded, and in the hot weather, once the wound suppurates, it will bring a series of evil consequences.
Ji Bu, the vanguard general of the Qin army, was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army exhausted at this time, his shoulders were exposed, and layers of cloth were wrapped around it.
If it weren't for this unlucky arrow, Ji Bu might have been able to dispatch his troops more and preempt Mei Juan to expand the hard-won opportunities.
However, accidents on the battlefield are so unreasonable and simple. Fortunately, this branch of the arrow is not pure, otherwise, Ji Bu would be the second Tu Sui.
Today's war.
Ji Bu felt the huge flaws of the traditional way of warfare, without powerful siege equipment, it was difficult to give the enemy a great deterrent by relying only on the wooden tools that were hurriedly made.
"If it's a sunny day tomorrow, let the Sky Thunder Force dispatch, maybe, they can surprise you. If it's still a rainy day, you'll have to wait for reinforcements to come up. Ji Bu secretly made up his mind, at this time, he did not know that the next night would be a night of life and death.
——。
The moon is in the clouds.
It's long gone, but in the middle of the night, the light rain has stopped, giving people a feeling of breath of relief.
Half of Xiang Zhuang's body was immersed in muddy water, wet and slippery, which made him feel very uncomfortable, if it weren't for the herbs that the Baiyue people were accustomed to taking before leaving the battle, Xiang Zhuang was afraid that his body bones would not be able to withstand the cold humidity of the south at first and cold.
"This time, we must win, we must play the prestige of the Chu army, and let the people who underestimate themselves take a look, and the only one who can compete with the Qin army is Xiang Zhuang."
Xiang Zhuang thought as he buried his head in the shallow stream. This cool feeling made him enjoy it a little, and it also made his once silent mood excited again.
Since the defeat of Jiangdong, Xiang Zhuang has been very low-key, and he has hardly expressed his opinions independently. It was this low-key that allowed Xiang Zhuang to quickly integrate into the Baiyue of Lingnan, and also formed an unusual alliance between him and Mei Juan.
"The Qin army in front, the general of the army turned out to be Ji Bu, this traitor, and he still has the face to come to the door with the Qin people, I really don't want to live?" In Xiang Zhuang's heart, anger grew.
Ji Bu and him were colleagues of the old Chu State. Now, to each his own. If it weren't for the shameless generals like Ji Bu, Ding Gong, and Zhou Yin, Xiang Zhuang's restoration of the country in Jiangdong would not have been frustrated, and if it weren't for these generals who betrayed the interests of the Chu State, how could the Qin army defeat Xiang Chu in a short period of time.
The more Xiang Zhuang thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Bu and the others were hateful, and this time, there was an opportunity for revenge in front of him, how could he let it go.
It was completely dark.
In the Qin camp, torches were lit, and the firelight could dispel the darkness, drive away mosquitoes and flies, and at the same time, it could also detect the enemy's approach in advance.
If Xiang Zhuang's troops wanted to approach the Qin camp, they must first avoid the Qin army scouts patrolling the camp outside, and if they couldn't, they would have to finish off the Qin army scouts in a very short time. Then, he rushed into the camp with all his might, and took advantage of the fact that the Qin people had not fully reacted to it, and slashed and killed.
Jihua who attacked the Qin camp at night was agreed between Xiang Zhuang and Mei Juan early in the morning, and after Xiang Zhuang led his troops to raid in, Mei Juan led the warriors of the Yue tribe to kill from the city of Nanyi, so that even if Ji Bu had the ability to reach the sky, he could not resist the attack that had been planned for a long time.
