In the barracks where Meng Wu was, a carriage entered under Meng Wu's greeting and drove towards the central military tent.

After half a month's journey, Yan Yan returned to the territory of Qin from Jiangbian City, and on the way through Chu State, the news of Baiyue had spread, and the people of the Baijia disciples on the land of Baiyue had all been evacuated without the slightest stay.

In the process of chasing and killing the Zhu family, whenever the children of the hundred families are encountered, they will inevitably die, and those who are lucky enough to survive are the main sources of spreading the news.

Zhao Gao remained in Baiyue, waiting for everything to be finished before returning to Qin.

Zhang Han took the shadow secret guard to assist Yan Fang's army in attacking the three tribal dynasties of Luo Yue, Xiou, and Ludou, and Yan Fang had already sent the news through the battle report.

The weather had entered the twilight of summer, and the Qin army, under the command of Meng Wu, recrossed the Yangtze River, set foot on the south of the Yangtze River, and began a war of annihilation against the Chu State.

Since the Qin army conquered Shouchun, Changping Jun of the Chu State led the Negative Commander to flee to Danyang City, where he re-established the Chu State.

After that, all the troops and nobles of the Chu State were summoned to Jiujiang, Huiji and other places, and they were built into an impermeable and strong fortress to defend against the Qin army.

Shouchun City became the reserve place of the Qin army, where 30,000 Qin troops were stationed, which stored enough food for three months for 200,000 troops, as well as many armaments and supplies.

Now, the grain transport team and armaments of Shouchun City have begun to transport the beasts, sending them to the south of the Yangtze River to replenish the army of Mengwu.

Mengwu's army camped in an area south of the Yangtze River and rested.

In the military tent in the center of the camp, Meng Wu was telling Yan Yan about the route of his march and the attack plan, everything was based on speed and bombardment.

After listening to what Meng Wu said, Yan Yan nodded in approval of his plan, since the armament of the Qin State is sufficient now, it is a little bit to be able to reduce the casualties a little, after all, what the Qin State will do in the future is not so simple.

Meng Wu: "Taishi, now Xianyang has sent a new kind of armament, and the last general will take you to see it." ”

Yan Yan: "What did the public lose and revenge come up again, it actually made you so excited." ”

Meng Wu: "Taishi, just come with me." ”

Yan Yan and Meng Wu walked towards the armament at the rear of the camp, and after entering an area, the disassembled catapult bed crossbow and giant crossbow were placed inside the tents around them.

The two men continued to advance, and then saw explosive marching armaments such as cannonballs and exploding spears, as well as ordinary armaments such as spears against cavalry.

Meng Wu led Yan Yan into a tent, Meng Wu opened the box, and then Yan Yan's Tong hole shrank.

Meng Wu reached out and picked up something like a rifle, but it didn't have a round tube.

Meng Wu said, "Dean Gong said that this thing is the same firing principle as the crossbow machine, but it does not rely on the bowstring, but what is the * medicine. He also said that there is no seamless steel pipe, otherwise it will be able to fire any bullets. ”

Then Meng Wu took out an arrow that was thinner, lighter, and shorter than the crossbow from the chest, and put it on the card slot above the long support.

The missing arrow lost its feather in the rear crossbow and was a small bamboo tube. Yan Yan felt the smell of *medicine from it.

Pull a hook and hand it to Yan Yan and said, "Pull here, the bamboo barrel will burst out with a strong thrust, and the arrow will be missed, and the range is hundreds of feet farther than that of the crossbow machine, and the power will not be reduced at all." ”

Yan Yan turned out to be something similar to a rifle but still fired arrows, and he was even more of a firebolt or blowpipe, relying on the instantaneous explosive power of the * medicine to launch the arrows.

Yan Yan knew what Gong Yi was talking about behind the seamless steel pipe, but Qin Guo still had no way to produce it, and even the machine tool was extremely simple, and the car couldn't be driven.

Yan Yan looked at the armament in his hand that used the seamless steel pipe replaced by the bamboo tube, he retracted his gaze and looked at Meng Wu and said, "Have you tried it, what will happen to the bamboo tube after it explodes, and whether there will be any injuries." ”

Mengwu "The bamboo tube will burst, it will not be blown away, and people will be fine." ”

"The dean of the public transport said that the bamboo tubes are all special bamboo tubes, and the selection and production of each section are strictly controlled, and there is no mess."

"Even if it explodes and injures someone, it won't kill or disable, at most it's just a little injured."

Mengwu: "And such bamboo is more difficult. So there is not much production, there are these 500, 30,000 arrows are lost, and there will be no more when they are used up, and if you want to, you need to wait until next year when Hsinchu grows. ”

"The last general intends to use all this armament for the Hou Battalion, so that it will be safer for the Hou to go out to carry out the mission."

Yan Yan: "Come according to your own wishes, this time the battle to destroy Chu is fully handed over to you." ”

Meng Wu: "Taishi rest assured, the end will definitely do his best." ”

After the destruction of the Chu State, the Qin army marched to the southwest and assisted Yan Fang in destroying all the tribes and dynasties of the Southern Barbarians. ”

"After that, together with Yan Fang, he attacked the Ouluo, Dian Kingdom, Gu Dian, Mi Mo, Yelang, Gu Yu, Qiongdu and other tribal dynasties in the southwest."

Mengwu "Taishi, where are the hills and dense forests, the miasma is very serious. ”

"Even if we attack it, it doesn't seem to be of any use."

Yan Yan "Wherever people set foot, they must become the territory of Qin." ”

"Don't worry about the hills and dense forests, it doesn't matter if the miasma is rampant, since the Qin army is sent to fight, there must be sufficient preparations."

The last general of Mengwu understood that he must end the war in Chu as soon as possible and attack the land of Baiyue. ”

"After that, he led the Qin army to set foot on that land of the Southern Barbarians, and planted the flag of the Qin State on that land."

Yan Yan nodded, left the camp with him, and returned to the central military tent.

A day later, Yan Yan's carriage left the barracks and headed for the Yangtze River, and three days later the carriage stopped on the bank of the Yangtze River and did not rush to cross the Yangtze River.

Yan Yan walked on the shore with the four daughters of Xue Ji, looking at the undulating river, this section of the river is very vast and calm, there are boatmen ferrying back and forth on the river, and there are also fishermen who put nets and carry rods.

Small boats shuttled across the river, which had become the territory of the Qin state, and new ferries and bridges were being built on both sides of the river to facilitate the lives of the people on both sides.

At dusk, the weather is not so hot, and the breeze blowing from the river is very pleasant.

Xue Ji grabbed Yan Yan's right hand and walked in front with him, followed by the three daughters of Flame Spirit Ji, Lang Yu, and Startling Salamander.

The gorgeous clothes on the five people and their bearing when they walked made these people who had just become the people of the Qin State and were not yet familiar with the laws of the Qin State dare not look at them directly, for fear of offending them and not knowing how to die.

Everyone didn't care, if they wanted to change all this, it would take a long time and every move of the officials of the Qin State, but they could just rely on what they said.

This is also the reason why the Qin State has conquered so many territories, and there has never been a local official who can continue to be an official, the Qin State School Palace and the School are able to cultivate talents, and they can know what the law of the Qin State is, and also know what the consequences will be if the law is violated.

Therefore, all the people who are selected to go out to take office as officials, whether he relies on achievements or military merits, will firmly remember one point, that is, they must implement the Qin law and implement the Qin government.

The officials of the Qin State enjoyed a very high salary, which was enough for them to live more than more people, so once the phenomena of corruption and bribery were discovered, the lighter ones were exempted from everything, and the heavy ones were directly killed, and the family was assigned to the hard ones, and the serious ones ranged from the three clans to the nine clans.

The tax revenue of the Qin State mainly came from the commercial tax and the sale of by-products researched by the Machinery Institute and the Agricultural Academy, as well as the exclusive right to sell the things produced by the workshops across the country, which was used to ensure the sufficiency of the Qin State treasury.

Relying on the strong military power of the Qin State, the merchants of the Qin State did not have any accidents when they traveled south and north, but whenever there were mountain bandits or robbers in the forbidden state of Qin, without the merchants coming to the door, the local officials who wanted to take credit would take the initiative to rush forward, and even the brave people would follow to get a piece of the pie.

This is the current situation of Yan Yan in the Qin State after the military merit reform, anything that violates the Qin law can be reported, as long as it is true, it can be exchanged for personal credit, and the person responsible for the verification is from the three parties of the shadow secret guard, the net, and the snowflake, which can be said to have completely cut off the situation of covering up and deceiving.

Xue Ji "Meng Wu has already led the army to Danyang, will the 100,000 Qin army be the opponent of the 500,000 Chu army?" ”

Yan Yan: "The Chu army claims to be 500,000, but in fact, there are only about 200,000 troops who can travel to the first battle, and the remaining 300,000 are mostly military service or conscription. ”

"And the 100,000 Qin army is completely a 100,000 battleable army, or the kind of army that is well-equipped and has powerful armaments, and the Chu army has the power to fight."

Yan Yan stopped to look at the river, and Flame Spirit Ji stepped forward and grabbed his left hand, looked up and smiled, and rested her head on his shoulder.

The startled salamander stood beside Xue Ji, and Lang Yu stood beside Flame Spirit Ji, and the four girls listened to Yan Yan continue to speak.

"If three years ago, Qin and Chu were at war, and Qin sent 100,000 troops, it can be said that it would be death, and now, even if the Chu army is 500,000 combatable troops, Qin still only needs to send 100,000 troops to destroy Chu."

Flame Lingji: "Gongzi attacked the 300,000 troops of the Chu State and invaded the Qin State back then, and he also relied on the 100,000 Qin army to drag the Chu army until General Meng Fu came to help, and the Chu State was defeated and forced to retreat in one fell swoop, and he actually controlled the land of Liangnan. ”

"Childe is amazing."

Lang Yu glanced at Flame Lingji, she didn't look at Yan Yan, but at the river.

Xue Ji: "The king wanted to let the gentleman serve as Taiwei back then, but unfortunately the gentleman was unwilling, otherwise there would be more than these titles now." ”

Yan Yan: "The more the Qin State will become stronger and stronger in the future, the public defeat and revenge in Xianyang is endless, whether it is the armament researched and manufactured, or the organs, there are still many of them that have not officially appeared, otherwise the Chu State only needs 10,000 Qin troops to be destroyed." ”

Yukihime: "The King's letter once said that Suzaku is already able to fly, and it can also ignore the terrain, as long as the field is wide and large enough, Suzaku can take off and land. ”

Yan Yan: "I also know this, Gong Yi is currently researching new alloys, saying that he wants to change all the Suzaku to metal. ”

"The steel is so heavy, can the Suzaku still fly?" ”

"Some alloys are lighter than wood, and Gong Yi is now studying such things. ”

Yukihime: "What's wrong with Kunpeng?" ”

"Yan Yan" is still being optimized, and now it can fly hundreds of miles. ”

Yukihime: "It seems that when the time comes, I will be able to go to a place in the early morning and arrive at dusk." ”

Yan Yan nodded.

On the other hand, Mengwu carried out the war in accordance with the strategic deployment, and used the attack method of artillery bombardment against the Chu army, completely abandoning the combat method of climbing the wall and attacking the city.

Qin's powerful logistics sent cannonballs and bursting spears to the pre-war continuously, and then were launched into the city head of the Chu army by catapult crossbows and giant crossbows, basically the small city bombarded for half a day, and the big city bombardment could shatter a city wall in two to three days, and the Qin army directly stepped on the ruins into the city.

The Chu army was very desperate about this, the bows and arrows in their hands could not shoot many sides, and they would be suppressed by the opponent's heavy cavalry when they took the initiative to attack out of the city.

The offensive of the Qin army reached Danyang, and he also understood that the general trend had gone, so he handed over the great seal and treasure box of the state of Chu to Changping Jun, and committed suicide in the palace.

Changping Jun established himself as the king of Chu and ordered the Chu army to abandon the small city that he did not want, concentrate all his military forces in Danyang, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

Xiang Yan became the general of the army, reorganized the 300,000 Chu army in Danyang, and waited for the arrival of the Qin army.

Autumn is high and cool, and it is almost autumn in a blink of an eye, and the Qin army also came to the city of Danyang, looking at the Chu army waiting solemnly outside the city, Meng Wu did not have the slightest politeness, and directly issued the order to attack.

10,000 heavy cavalry soldiers began to charge from the two flanks in two ways, and the catapult bed crossbow and giant crossbow were constantly fired on the central battle array, and the attacking Chu army was suppressed in one position and could not advance the slightest.

The assault formed by the 500 Marquis battalion rushed forward, and after firing the rockets in the quiver, they returned to the barracks and replenished again.

The battle of Danyang lasted for three days, and finally ended with Xiang Yan committing suicide in the army and the surrender of the Chu army.

When the Qin army entered Danyang City and came to the palace of the king of Chu, the big seal representing the state of Chu and the three treasure boxes had been neatly placed on the main hall, and Changping Jun also killed himself.

Meng Wu ordered Changping Jun to be buried in the mausoleum of the king of Chu as the monarch, and then sent people to send the Great Seal and the treasure box to Xianyang, and the Qin army continued to attack Baiyue and other places in the south.

Xianyang City.

In Zhangtai Palace, Yan Yan and Ying Zheng sat on the guardrail of the corridor, looking at Fusu and Yan in the courtyard? Attack each other with one move and one style.

Zhao Gao was talking about the final result of Baiyue's trip on the side.

The Zhu family fled to the Weaving Gold City, and the net followed, and then killed the peasant hero and many children of the peasant family.

In the end, he laid out many secret hands in the rivers and lakes to find and probe the whereabouts and news of the hundreds of schools.

After listening to this, Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan and said, "Teacher, it's time for Qin Guo to cultivate for a while." ”

Yan Yan nodded, "Yes, the Qin State has temporarily recuperated for five years, and during these five years, it has vigorously developed people's livelihood and infrastructure construction and trained the army." ”

"At the same time, all those who have a bad heart in the hundred families of the sons are purified."
