Tiger into the wolves.

In the era of cold weapons, the key to the victory of water lies in whether it can block the enemy's jumping attack, and now, Zhao Wu hopelessly found that no matter how he shouted, he could not arouse the fighting spirit of the generals under his command.

The Changsha army was defeated and retreated.

The black lines representing the clothes of the Qin army's armor soldiers are advancing southward step by step, and one after another their own warships have to give up, and the soldiers on the ships either jump into the river and swim to the ground, or simply fall to the ground, begging for a cheap life.

"General, let's also withdraw!" Beside Zhao Wu, a cronie had knotted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say.

Zhao Wu's expression was ashen, and his hair was wet with sweat: "No, we can't withdraw, let's hold on for a while, the general's fleet is behind the Qin people, as long as there is another half an hour, the victory will be ours!" ”

――。

Two-way pinch.

What is needed is the cooperation of each other, but obviously, the Changsha army without pre-training has not yet reached such a tacit understanding, while the Zhao Wu army was fiercely attacked by the Qin army, the main fleet of the Changsha army led by Wu Feng was still ten miles away.

A cool breeze in spring.

On the Dongting Lake, a few white sails reflect the blue waves, which is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wu Feng was dressed in silver-white shiny battle armor, covered with a crimson coat, looking extraordinarily handsome, and the news of the war at the head of Orange Island had been transmitted to Wu Feng's army as early as a quarter of an hour ago, however, looking at his demeanor, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"General, General Zhao Wu has sent someone to report the urgency again, are we-!" A Changsha military academy captain boarded Wu Feng from a small boat and said hurriedly.

"What's the hurry? Qin Man's infantry had already landed, and his naval army was no more than 2,000 people. General Zhao's troops are three times more than Qin Man's, is there still a problem, what we have to guard against now is Qin Man's desperation to counterattack on our side? Wu Feng shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile.

While talking and laughing, the wall was in ashes.

Wu Feng first experienced the battle array, and Ping Su liked to be familiar with military books and war strategies, and his idol was Wu Qi, the general of Chu State, who made Chu one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and trained a terrifying military force. Wu's surname is Wu, and Wu Feng is also surnamed Wu.

Wu Feng is looking forward to proving himself with a big victory.

Reinforcements were long overdue.

Let Zhao Wu want to cry without tears.

One warship after another was sunk.

Under the fierce pursuit of the Qin army, the soldiers of the Changsha Army in the rear of the battle formation first began to waver, and then triggered a major collapse of the local battlefield, Zhao Wu successively killed several fleeing military marquis, but still could not stop the rout.

It's twilight.

After a difficult trek, the infantry troops led by Manchuchen finally reached the battlefield and arrived. Although it could not directly kill and injure the enemy, the shock and deterrence brought by it made the soldiers of the Changsha Army even more panicked, and they were also looking forward to reinforcements, but the result was very different.

"The Qin people who came from afar have backup. And where are our reinforcements? In despair, the officers and men of the Changsha army turned around and fled.

The flames soared into the sky, and the burning ships whimpered in the wind, accompanied by bursts of fireworks.

Most of the Changsha warships were sunk or burned. Zhao Wu could not escape, was rushed by the chaotic army and fell into Hunan and drowned, and the Qin army sailors fought for two hours. In one fell swoop, he defeated Zhao Wujun's fleet.

At this time, Wu Feng began to wake up from his arrogance and narcissism, and hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up, but unfortunately near the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Changsha Army witnessed the miserable end of the friendly army, and their faces turned pale one by one, and they were frightened.

Orange Island was defeated.

Wu Feng fled against the current with his troops from Yuanshui, and the route he chose could just avoid Feng Xuanjun's troops, but at the same time, it also made the defense of the capital of Changsha extremely empty.

――。

Changsha.

The rout soldiers who fled back one after another were spreading a bad news that made the soldiers and civilians in the city feel that the sky was falling, the Battle of Xiangshui, the Changsha army, which was determined to give the Qin army a first blow, was defeated by the Qin army, which was nearly twice as large as their number, and even the general Zhao Wu was killed in battle.

What to do?

The Qin people were about to come to the city.

And the soldiers guarding Changsha City, but there are only less than 10,000 old and weak left, these soldiers defending the city are soldiers at best, and they are wooden stakes at worst, and Liliang with this point cannot compete with the Qin army that defeated the elite of the Changsha army.

It is located in the royal palace on the side of Yuelu Mountain.

A gloomy mist, Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, was lying on the brocade couch, his eyes were full of bloodshots, in front of him, Xiangguo Zhang Ao and the doctor hung their heads high and low, listening to Wu Rui's reprimand.

"Zhang Xiang, I and your father are both princes, in the past, they also drank and talked happily, and they were very harmonious, this time I appointed you as the prime minister, and I also expect your talent to have one or two of your father, only in this way, my Changsha country can survive. However, in the past year, you have repeatedly failed my expectations, and when I handed over the power, I said that the northern Qin is strong, and my small country does not dare to fight against it, but you have colluded with the remnants of the thieves and encouraged Feng'er to do all kinds of dangerous acts, which is to put my Wu clan to death! Wu Rui rebuked bitterly.

Zhang Ao lowered his head and didn't say a word, and there was still a little resentment on Guan Gao's face next to him who wanted to justify, but was quickly stopped by Zhang Ao.

Wu Rui is right in some words, Zhang Ao is indeed inferior to his father Zhang Er in terms of ability, but no matter who he is, the last thing he wants to hear is comparison, especially comparing himself with his father.

As the saying goes: blue is better than blue.

But when it comes to Zhang Ao, the evaluation has become that the generation is not as good as the generation, not to mention the arrogant Zhang Ao, even if he changes to someone else, he can't listen to Wu Rui's stern "advice".

Wu Rui complained bitterly, and after scolding Zhang Ao and Guan Gao respectively, he finally lost his body and waved his hand to let the two important ministers of Changsha retreat. Due to the aggravation of his condition, Wu Rui did not notice that when Zhang Ao turned to leave, the resentful eyes hidden under the long eyelids.

After leaving the palace gate, Zhang Ao and Guan Gao did not send envoys to contact and reconcile with the Qin side as Wu Rui instructed, let alone try to welcome back the eldest prince Wu Chen, who was still in the Qin army, and they quickly gathered some of their cronies. After thinking about it urgently, they packed up their soft treasures, and then before the dawn of the erection sun, they opened the south gate of Changsha City and fled to the Lingling and Pangyi areas further south.

Lingling.

Located in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, it is an important town at the northern end of the Chongling Canal (Zero Canal), which connects South Vietnam and the north, and this place is also the most prosperous place in Changsha in addition to the capital. And Pang Yi is the Hengyang of later generations, located at the foot of Heng Mountain, this city is said to be the place where the fire god Zhu Rong defeated Gonggong.

Zhang Ao's choice to flee south was not a directionless move. And the fundamental reason is that he received news from Wu Feng, the second prince who aspires to inherit the throne of Changsha, is leading the army all the way up from Yuanshui to Lingling and Pangyi.

――。

Changsha country.

After Zhang Ao, Guan Gao and other important officials in charge of state affairs fled, they had fallen into a state of paralysis, and what was more serious was that Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, was furious after hearing that Zhang Ao had escaped. Finally died.

After Wu Rui grew old and declined, Changsha lost the person at the helm of Zuihou.

Feng Xuan led the army all the way south, and the counties along the way looked at the wind and descended, waiting for the vanguard of the Qin army, Manqiuchen, to be under the guidance of Wu Chen. When they came to the north gate of Changsha City, most of the guards of the capital had fled, and the remaining officials who were at a loss for what to do were led by a few old people. Out of the city to surrender.

Wu Chen, the eldest prince of Changsha Kingdom, behaved unbearably when he marched and fought in front, and on this occasion of showing etiquette and gentlemanly demeanor. He was immediately active.

With Wu Chen, the nominal lord of a country, the Qin army's occupation of Changsha no longer seems so aggressive, and for ordinary people, the city's changing banner of the king, whether it is Fanjun Wu Rui or Wu Chen under the banner of Qin, is just a person who sings opera, as for whether the opera is good or not, it still has to be proved by facts.

The Qin army on the western route successfully defeated the Changsha State.

The Zuihou symbol, which represents the era of the princes competing for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty, no longer exists, and the new Qin State is like a rising sun, sweeping away all the shadows and darkness with an unstoppable momentum.

The good news of the victory quickly spread back to the capital Chang'an, and soon spread throughout Chang'an City, as usual, the fastest action was still the profit-forgetful merchants, but this time, Hu Shang's reaction was a beat slower, and the big merchants from the Kanto region relied on the advantages of geographical location and familiarity, and began to prepare to go south to grab territory.

Compared with the jubilation in Qin, the anti-Qin side was lifeless, and the atmosphere was depressing. Wu Feng and Zhang Ao retreated to Lingling and Pangyi, so that Mei Juan and Xiang Zhuang in Wuling lost their room for maneuver, and then, the anti-Qin army that had been oppressed into a line was left with only Minyue to retreat, but once they retreated into Fujian, then for Mei, Xiang, Wu, and Zhang, these outsiders, the result was that they did not have to wait for the Qin army to attack, and the snake in Wuzhu would first devour them completely.

In desperation, Mei Juan, Xiang Zhuang, Wu Feng, and Zhang Ao held an emergency meeting in Mei Juan's lair, Mei Guan in the hinterland of Wuling, to discuss the next military strategy.

Not only is there a contradiction between the Quartet and Wuzhu, but it is also unceremonious for the sake of Zuihou between Mei, Xiang and Wu and Zhang, but under the strong pressure of the Qin army's large-scale attack, these parties finally reached an agreement to form a coalition to jointly resist the Qin army's attack.

At this meeting, Wuzhu, the king of Minyue, was undoubtedly recommended as the commander of the coalition army because of his strongest strength, but because Wuzhu was still far away in the old nest of Wuyi Mountain, it was impossible to guide the actual battle in front of him by remote command, and the meeting elected Mei Juan as the deputy commander to unify the command of the war against Qin.

In addition, Xiang Zhuang was appointed as General Zuo, commanding the headquarters and the reorganized Changsha Army, Zhang Ao was Sima, responsible for the staff clerical matters in the army, Guan Gao was left behind for the baggage, responsible for the preparation and deployment of military food and weapons and other utensils, at the meeting, the only person who felt very unhappy was Wu Feng.

The second prince of Changsha not only failed to get the position of commander of the coalition forces he dreamed of, but even deprived of military power.

In extreme anger, Wu Feng tried to launch a mutiny and led the Changsha army out of Mei Juan's control, but this move was leaked by Zhang Ao, and Wu Feng could not leave on his own, and was captured by Xiang Zhuangsheng and placed under house arrest.

After some integration, the anti-Qin Shili finally reached a formal union, the mouth was cold, the king of Minyue was the commander-in-chief, and also sent a reinforcement composed of 6,000 Yue warriors to meet, so far, the anti-Qin allied army reached more than 30,000 people in the total strength, of which the combat effectiveness of the Xiangzhuang Division, the Meijuan Division, and the Wuzhu Department was almost comparable to the Qin army.

The Battle of the Southern Expedition.

After the first stage of temptation, it has entered the most cruel and critical stage. (To be continued......)
