Chapter 416: The Battle of Crossing the River

The Qin army was divided into three routes, claiming to be 500,000, and in fact, including the baggage auxiliaries, nearly 70,000 troops were mighty and mighty, heading towards the south of the river.

The whimpering horn blew hideously.

Daqin's banner fluttered high in the headwind of the southeast.

Around Pengze, the Shanyue tribes living are mainly divided into two categories, the first is the clan armed known as Shufan, these clans are actually traced back to their ancestors, but also from the northern Central Plains, they take one or several places as the shili range, take advantage of the relatively closed natural environment of the south, and implement clan autonomy within the scope of the clan's settlement.

The second type is the original primitive tribe, they are also called shengfan, which means completely uncivilized people outside the country. These Shengfan drank Maoru's blood and even cannibalized people to satisfy their hunger, once the Qin army penetrated deep into the southern hinterland, they would inevitably be resisted and counterattacked by Shengfan.

Divide and conquer.

This is Li Yuan's parting words, to Peng Yue, Feng Xuan, Jiang Yu the most words, Qin is vast, need him as a king to worry about more and more things, in the days to come, Li Yuan wants to be free to rush to the front line of the battlefield, it needs to have a more united and cooperative operation system within the Qin State, and now, just experienced Chen Ping, Li Zheng infighting between the new Qin officials, obviously can not reach a tacit understanding.

The nascent state of Qin.

needs a person at the helm, and this person is only suitable for Li Yuan.

In this way, Li Yuan must sit in Chang'an in the near future and hand over the conquest of the south to the generals under his command, which is a natural move. At the same time, such a move also indicates that Li Yuan's mentality gradually began to change from a prince to a king.

The king of a country.

Lord of the peoples.

This era is an era that needs heroes, and it is also an era that calls for heroes.

Li Yuan's name has now been sung among thousands of people in the 27 states of Great Qin, and he is a veritable emperor of Great Qin.

Early April.

Peng Yuejun passed Peng Ze. In just half a month, the area around Yuzhang was successfully recovered, and in the face of the overwhelming momentum of the Qin army, the various departments of Shufan only symbolically resisted, and then laid down their weapons one after another, for them, cooperation is obviously better than confrontation to keep the clan alive.

Within a few days, Poyang, Yuhan, Chaisang, Jiangxi, Xingan, Nancheng, Yichun, Yandu, Ai, Anping, Haiding, Liling, Jiancheng and other counties were all occupied by the Qin army.

The anti-Qin three divisions were under the strong blows of the Qin army. Somewhat out of breath. Wu Rui of Changsha was seriously ill, and the state affairs were handed over to his two sons to deal with, and the two factions in the country were fighting frequently, and they were unable to deal with the attack of the Qin army.

As for Liliang, the Minyue Kingdom of Wuzhu, after forming an alliance, it was willing to expand its territory to the west. But soon an urgent military situation from the South Vietnamese State made Wu Zhu confused.

Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who had always held the attitude of neutrality that no one would offend me and I would not offend anyone, suddenly Chen soldiers were in Longchuan, and the front of the army was only sixteen or seven miles away from the Fujian-Vietnamese border. This made Wu Zhu nervous all of a sudden.

Zhao Tuo and Wu Zhu.

Just like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang who competed for hegemony in the Central Plains, the two sides had far-reaching grievances, and there were dozens of wars of different sizes and scales between each other, and the result was that Zhao Tuo won more and lost less. No matter in terms of equipment or strength, there is a big gap between the Minyue army and the South Vietnamese army, which is based on the generals of the former Qin army.

Under the threat of the South Vietnamese army, there was no power to look westward. had to shrink his forces and protect his old nest in Fujian, as for Xiangzhuang, who lived in Minyue, he was not embarrassed, and directly released the rest of Xiangzhuang out of Xianxia Pass.

The Jiangdong children of Xiangzhuang, during this period of time, get along with the enthusiastic women of Minyue like water, and the seeds of hope for the birth of offspring have been sown, just waiting for the spring of the next year to take root and sprout, of course, the premise is that they can all survive in a peaceful and tranquil environment.

Mei Juan and Xiang Zhuang fought side by side.

These two Chu and Han generals, who were originally going to kill you to the death, came together unexpectedly in this strange time and space, and they are now like a pair of brothers and sisters, hopelessly bearing the fierce blows from the Qin army.

Peng Yue's army was strong, Xiang Zhuang and Mei Juan did not dare to confront it head-on, so they had to adopt delaying and harassing tactics, and the Yue soldiers hidden in the dense forest used poisonous bamboo arrows to shoot and kill one after another Qin soldiers, but unfortunately, this time they met Peng Yue's subordinates, who were also former robbers who were familiar with the tactics of southern Mizuzawa.

A game of death between chasing and being chased unfolds in the mountains south of the Great River.

――。

Changsha country.

With the approach of the Qin army, the domestic situation has become more and more complex and changeable.

Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, has hardly appeared in front of the people for nearly a year, and since the death of his beloved daughter Wu Ji, he seems to have lost the sharpness of raising his arms and resisting the Qin State, and his vision has also changed from participating in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains to now only satisfying the small territory of Changsha County.

After Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were destroyed one after another, Wu Rui felt that the crisis was approaching, and also accelerated the pace of the riots, the total population of Changsha County was only 100,000, of which about 30,000 men were suitable for joining the army, and the number of soldiers in the Changsha Army has increased from only 7 or 8,000 two years ago to 25,000 now.

In other words, only 5,000 lucky people escaped the forced recruitment, and including many officials, the families of generals, Wu Rui, Wu Feng's approach, but also Changsha County's economic development completely into a state of stagnation, if not for its geographical location, and the opening of the Guishui Ling channel between Xiangshui and South Vietnam, Changsha is afraid that it will not be attacked by the Qin army, and it has fallen because of the heavy burden.

April 21.

Feng Xuan led the Jingnan naval army to cross hundreds of miles of Yunmengze and arrived at the southern border of Dongting Daze, carrying about 3,000 infantry soldiers with Manqiuchen's first department.

The Qin army's land and water troops, totaling about 5,000 people, just arrived near the shore, that is, they were surrounded by the Changsha army, and Wu Feng, who was determined to play a majestic role on the battlefield, personally commanded nearly 10,000 soldiers, and a fierce battle between the two sides began.

After the scouts of the Qin army discovered that an enemy ship was approaching from a distance, they immediately reported to Feng Xuan on the main ship, and when they heard that Wu Feng's army was coming to fight, Wu Chen, who was following Feng Xuan, immediately turned pale, and his hands and feet became cold.
