Chapter 382: Officially Launched
The soldier in charge of delivering the message then rode back to the south on fast horses.
The news quickly reached Bai Zhong's side, and then they could see that the water was rolling through the Spirit Canal and rushing towards Lishui.
"Blow up the embankment!"
Bai Zhong ordered.
Yuan Hong, as the commander-in-chief of the blasting, immediately went to prepare everything, and with a loud noise, the earth and water splashed everywhere, and the Lishui was also exploded, and the water poured into the Lingqu, and finally converged with the water from Xiangshui and merged into the Lishui.
"It worked!"
Shi Lu said excitedly.
After tossing here for so long, it was finally successful, and the people in Shaofu all smiled with relief, all the conscripts who dug the spiritual canal were tired for a few months, and finally they didn't have to be busy anymore, and they were relieved.
Shi Lu said again: "Wu Anjun, how to attack Baiyue next, our Shaofu can't give much help, I want to go back to Xianyang first." ”
Bai Zhong agreed: "Zhao Tuo, you arrange five hundred people to send Shaofu back to Xianyang." ”
"Yui!"
Zhao Tuo responded.
Bai Zhong said again: "Go back to the edge of Xiangshui, prepare your boats, and go deep into Yue!" ”
After the Lingqu was opened, the war against Baiyue also had to be put on the agenda, Bai Zhong asked Zhang Tang to take 2,000 men to stay on the bank of the Lishui River, and he gathered the army on the edge of the Xiangshui.
At this time, a large number of ships were docked on the edge of the Hunan River, some of which were used to transport grain and some of which were used to transport troops.
Bai Zhong put Zhao Tuo in charge, managed those conscriptions, placed them in the rear, and also arranged a group of people to go to Mu Jing's tribe, as a backup, Zhao Tuo did not participate in the war.
When everything was ready, he gave the order, and all the ships began to move south, all of them sailed into the Ling Canal, and then into Lishui, and the army set out in a mighty manner, and soon penetrated deep into the interior of the Yue.
The various tribes along the Lishui coast were all nervous and panicked when they saw the arrival of the Qin army's warships, and a few tribes still resisted, but all of them were solved by the Qin army, and then those conscripts were arranged.
In the end, the fleet went all the way to Yangshuo, where it stopped and set up camp on the shore of Lishui.
Along the way, the Qin army strongly wiped out all the opposing tribes, of course, some tribes surrendered, and like Mu Jing and them, they no longer dared to resist after seeing the strength of the Qin army.
Now Yangshuo and other places, there is not the same as in later generations, now it is the state of the tribe, there is not even a city, the place name Yangshuo, has not yet appeared, Bai Zhong let the army be stationed here.
From Yangshuo to the west, it is most of the territory of Yuyue, and to the east is Baiyue, stationed here, you can attack the east and west at any time, and Bai Zhong takes this place as a starting point.
A large amount of grain and grass has been leveled by them in the north as the ships have brought in, and more than 60,000 lowly people such as conscripts and sons-in-law have also begun to move south and arrange for distribution to various tribes.
In addition to providing a barrier for the Qin army in the rear, they could also provide reinforcement for the Qin army, suppress those tribes that surrendered, prevent those who surrendered, rebel, and disrupt the plan of attack.
"Wu Anjun, Mu Jing, they're here."
Geng Wu walked into the barracks and said.
Bai Zhong took a look outside, only to see that Mu Jing did not come alone, and brought thousands of people to take refuge.
"They are a tribe that is willing to surrender, they have been oppressed by the king of Luoyue before, and now they want to join the Great Qin army to resist the king of Luoyue, and they are even willing to send people to join the Qin army."
Mu Jing explained.
Bai Zhongzheng needed a group of locals as guides to lead them deep into Luoyue and start a war with Yihu Song, these people came just in time and said with a smile: "Welcome, you can understand what I say, right?" ”
For the convenience of communication, Bai Zhong had to use Jing Chu's language.
"I understand."
A middle-aged man nodded and said, "I have been to the Chu State before, hello to Great Qin Wuanjun." ”
Someone can understand it, and it saves some trouble.
Bai Zhong said: "Wang Li, you take these Luo Yue brothers into the camp, arrange a batch of armor for them, and then rely on them to lead the way deeper." ”
Seeing that Daqin Wu Anjun was so courteous to himself, and he could even be trusted, compared with the King of Luoyue, there was a big gap, and those who surrendered were happy in their hearts, and felt that the surrender was very correct.
They were soon taken down by Wang Li and incorporated into the Qin army.
Bai Zhong did not question it, nor was he worried that there might be spies among these people, and he did not doubt it, and if he wanted to subdue the hearts of these tribes, he had to trust them first.
"Wu Anjun, where is Xiaoyue?"
Mu Jing said.
"Xiaoyue is here."
Ying Shu hugged the little girl and walked out, and said with a smile: "Leader Mujing, I haven't seen you for many days, do you want to join the army?" ”
Mu Jing nodded and said: "The king of Luoyue has been bullying many of our tribes for many years, I want to take revenge, I want to see his defeat in person, you won't refuse to let women join the army, right?" ”
Ying Shu can be in the army, they naturally will not refuse, not to mention that Mu Jing's ability is not bad, she can lead those Yue people who surrendered to join the army, Bai Zhong finally agreed to let her stay.
After camping, they did not make any other moves, and they were not in a hurry to send troops.
What is the situation in Luoyue now, they haven't found out clearly, and all the people from the Black Ice Platform have been sent out to inquire about the news in various places inside Luoyue.
Time was fast, more than two days passed.
Black Ice Terrace has finally had news back.
The king of Luoyue united with the king of Nanyue, gathered more than 60,000 people, and camped at a place called Tongguling to the south, preparing to fight the Qin army to the death.
"More than 60,000 people."
"The two kings of Yue and South Vietnam united."
"It seems that our arrival has forced the king of Yue Yue to no choice!"
After Bai Zhong got the news, he didn't feel much surprised, it was expected.
Because Tu Sui sent troops before, the route was to attack Nanyue, until Panyu, the king of Nanyue understood that if Luoyue was defeated, they would have to face the Qin army alone, so it was better to gather them all, draw strong men in various tribes, and strengthen the strength of their army as much as possible, and fight with the Qin army.
The first battle is the winner.
Wang Li spread out the map of Baiyue and quickly found the location of Tongguling, which was about twenty miles away from their camp, with mountains and forests nearby, as well as rivers, and the terrain looked good.
"Wu Anjun, how to fight?"
Geng Wu asked.
According to their ideas, there is no need to use tactics or anything, and the two armies will directly confront each other, and if they fight, the Qin army will be crushed with their strength.
Bai Zhong asked, "Leader Mu Jing, is there anything special about this Tonggu Ridge?" ”
Mu Jing said: "There are mountains nearby, when you go south, you have to be careful of ambushes, if you fight, it may be different from what you fight in the north and on the flat land, you may have to fight in the mountains, if there are fierce beasts, poisonous insects and other things, we will deal with it." ”
Nothing else.
It doesn't seem to be difficult to fight, and there isn't much trouble.
Bai Zhong said: "Tomorrow morning, go to battle!" ”
According to the current situation, the first battle was probably a decisive battle, defeating the South Vietnamese and Luoyue coalition forces in front of them, and it was difficult for them to gather their forces again to fight against the Qin army, and then there was no other way than surrender.
