"The Qin army is starting to retreat?"

At the head of Xiangcheng City, Zhou Wen, who was in charge of the sun, opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene by Yingshui in disbelief.

Groups of Qin troops drove out of the camp, and they crossed the Yingshui in an orderly manner under the command of the military officials through pontoon bridges built on the water, and then formed a queue and marched north by land. Looking at its formation, it turned out to be the grain and heavy baggage with it.

However, in front of its camp, there was still a Qin army array, they were facing Xiangcheng, forming a battle formation, holding crossbows, as if they were preparing for the Chu people in the city to attack out of the city, in order to cover the robes and Ze to cross the Yingshui and retreat north.

This kind of scene, what is it if it is not the retreat of the Qin army?

"Last night and morning, the drums were beating to the sky, and I kept sending people to rush the city, why did I run away now?"

The Chu pawns next to them were talking to each other, as they said, the Qin army kept attacking the city day and night, and they were rushing to the city wall day and night, plus the mighty giant cannon threw boulders into the city from time to time, so that the Chu pawns in the city couldn't raise their heads.

Under this terrible offensive, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, and even the walls of Xiangcheng almost collapsed, falling into the hands of the Qin people several times.

Although the Chu soldiers in the city quickly recaptured it, looking at that posture, in less than two days, the Qin army would be able to break through the city and start a street battle with them.

In this situation, why did the Qin people retreat?

Zhou Wen suppressed the doubts in his heart and hurriedly sent people into the city to report.

Soon, Chu General Xiang Qu received the news and strode to the city.

"Looks like Childe did it."

Xiang Qu looked at the scene of the retreat of the Qin army outside the city, his eyes lit up, and his voice was full of joy.

Son?

Zhou Wen blinked, what son? Where did the prince of Chu come from here?

But before Zhou Wen could react, Xiang Qu issued orders to the generals who followed behind him: "Let the sons and daughters have a full meal and nourish their energy, and the horses must also be fed with fodder and ready, and when I give the order, I will go out of the city to pursue!"

"As soon as the Qin army withdrew, they immediately sent people south to communicate with Shangzhu and inform Shangzhu of the situation here."

After a series of answers, Xiang Qu looked at Zhou Wen again: "Look at the sun, you continue to closely monitor the movements of the Qin army after this break, and if they show signs of evacuation, report to me immediately."

"Yui."

After issuing a series of military orders, Xiang Qu looked at the Qin army outside the city.

"This broken force looks like there are 20,000 men. Meng Wu is really steady, and after so many Qin troops are broken, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my army to eat. I don't know if my father can arrive in time, if he can take down the Qin army after the 20,000 breaks, then Mengwu is not enough to fear."

……

A day later, Meng Wu stood on the command car of the main general, covered with wind and frost, facing the cold wind, looking at Huaiyang City in front of him.

I saw that Huaiyang was against the city, the city walls were thick, and there were dense crowds of people on it.

Those people were all wearing black armor and holding swords and halberds, and they were a group of Chu people wearing Qin armor, waiting for the Qin army to attack the city.

"Is there anyone out of the city?"

Meng Wu looked sideways at the Qin army who had arrived first.

The soldier hurriedly said, "No, when the subordinate led the army here, he saw that the city gate was closed and the flag of Chu was planted on the city, so he knew that the situation had changed, and sent someone to call the door, but he was killed by random arrows in the city, and the subordinate immediately sent someone to inform the general. They also sent cavalry to patrol the four gates, but they did not see anyone leaving the city."

….

"He didn't do anything to these 5,000 people, but he was quite cautious, it seems that he wants to hold on to this city, cut off my supply and return, and want to consume our army."

Meng Wu whispered, and then ordered, "Let people go to the city to spread the word and invite Changping Jun to talk."

A moment later, the military officials reported back to Meng Wu.

"General Meng, the Chu people at the head of the city replied that there is no Changping Jun of the Qin State among Chen Ying, only the son of the Chu State, Qi. Qin and Chu are fighting, and Gongzi Qihe and General have nothing to say."

Hearing this, Meng Wu's usually calm face couldn't help but show anger.

"Childe Kai...... Good one

Gongzi Qi, I didn't expect him to think about it so much. In that case, there is no way to do it."

"The army obeyed the order, immediately built equipment, and attacked the city overnight, and it was necessary to take the city within two days!"

"Yui!"

Seeing that the generals ordered to go down and arrange the camping and siege of the city, Meng Wu's face not only did not relax, but became more and more tense, and he whispered, "Two days, there are only two days left."

Huaiyang reversed, the Qin army's military rations could only be supplied for three days, and Meng Wu led the army to withdraw from the Yingshui camp to Huaiyang City, which took a day.

So he had only two days' reserves of food in his army. Even if the diet is reduced and the porridge is boiled with water, I am afraid it will not last for four days, but the soldiers want to attack the city and kill the enemy, how can they let them drink gruel.

This is not counting the tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers near Huaiyang, their military food is all supplied by the city, and now Huaiyang City is rebellious, and they all have to go hungry. Meng Wu also couldn't squeeze out military rations to help them, for fear of chaos, Meng Wu asked the military officials to lead these tens of thousands of people to the north, to the direction of Yangxia, on the way to prey on the suburbs, to fend for themselves, on the way I don't know how many people starved to death.

As for the Qin army of Mengwu, there were more than 40,000 people, plus 20,000 after the break, that is, more than 60,000 soldiers, and thousands of war horses.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

Not yet?"

Outside Huaiyang City, Meng Wu frowned and couldn't help but look south.

Now under the attack of the Qin army, the defenders of the anti-city have shown their decline, and those Chu people who were temporarily recruited to defend the city with the courage of blood and blood are not the opponents of the Qin army with neat orders at all, even if they rely on the advantages of city defense, they are still almost taken down by the Qin army several times.

Therefore, his plan of Mengwu to attack the city day and night was correct, and it was very likely that he would attack the city before the food was cut out, so as to resolve this crisis.

But Meng Wu has been worried about two things in his heart.

One is afraid that after the city is broken, the thief Changping Jun in the city will be so mad that he burns up the grain and grass, if he really does that, then everything will really be over.

Another point of concern is that in the Yingshui camp, in order to ensure the withdrawal of the army, the Yang Yuan Department has not yet arrived.

According to the news from Yang Yuan before, when the army left and he led the Qin army of the palace to prepare to go north, the Chu army in Xiangcheng really went out of the city to pursue and fought with the Qin army of Yang Yuan's department, apparently to prevent the 20,000 Qin army from going north.

"I left 20,000 people for him, even if the Xiangcheng Chu army came out to pursue, it should be impossible to break Yang Yuan's 20,000 people with the tired soldiers in the city."

Meng Wu comforted himself in his heart, but as a veteran of the battlefield, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, which was from the veteran's intuition.

Just when Meng Wu was worried in his heart, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent, he was startled, and hurriedly strode out of the tent, and at the same time asked, "What happened, why the noise?"

Before the short soldiers guarding outside the tent could answer, General Pi Han Zhong rushed in a panic.

"General Meng, something is wrong! The scouts came to report that Yang Yuan had been defeated by the Chu army, and the defeated army was rushing towards this place."

"What!"

Meng Wu hurriedly went to the outside of the camp with Han Zhong, and when he walked out of the gate, he really saw dust billowing in the direction of Yingshui Xiangcheng.

In the fluttering dust, countless panicked Qin soldiers were rushing towards the camp, they lost their armor all the way, and the number was even thousands.

….

And in the Qin army camp here, countless Qin soldiers also knew the news, and they were all shocked.

As for the Qin soldiers who were attacking the city wall in the distance, they also saw this scene, and the city wall they had just taken was taken back by the Chu people.

The defeat of the Qin army after the Yingshui was broken caused the instability of the large battalion here.

"Yang Yuan was defeated, he was 20,000 people, how could he be broken by the Chu army in Xiangcheng?"

Meng Wu was puzzled in his heart, but immediately his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "After the rout, I am afraid that the Chu army will follow, quickly send people to line up outside the camp, let the rout avoid the camp, rest and assemble again, don't come to attack our army camp!"

Meng Wu immediately made a decision and wanted to make a steady arrangement, but it was too late at this moment.

Those Qin army soldiers were chased and killed by the Chu people for a day, and they were already in a hurry, and they only knew how to flee for their lives. At this moment, they saw that the camp of their own army was in front of them, so they didn't care about the problem of "storming the barracks", all of them were like seeing their long-lost parents, spreading their legs and rushing into the camp tent, hoping that their robes could protect them from being chased and killed by the Chu people in the rear.

At this moment, the 40,000 Qin troops outside Huaiyang City were attacked by their own rout, and the 40,000 troops were in turmoil, and it was even more difficult to arrange a good formation for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the Chu army, which had been preparing for a surprise attack from the rear, rushed over.

In an instant, shouts of killing rang out, and at the same time, the camp tent of the Qin army was also ignited by the attacking Chu army, and the red flames were blazing, reflecting the sky.

In the city, Gongzi Qi saw the flames outside, shouting and killing all over the place, and he knew that the reinforcements had arrived, so he immediately made a decision, and sent a thousand Chu warriors recruited to join the brave men under his command, opened the city gate on the side, echoed with the attacking Chu army, and jointly attacked the Qin army under the command of Meng Wu.

"Defeated."

Meng Wu was helped onto the war horse by the short soldiers, watching the fire in the barracks, the soldiers shouted and fled in all directions, and those Chu troops were killing and chasing everywhere.

There is no need to talk about the results of such a scene.

"General, let's go, our army's defeat is now decided, no

There's a way."

The short soldiers tearfully persuaded each other.

Meng Wu nodded, and before leaving, he looked back at the south side, which was the direction where the Chu army was coming, and said abruptly, "Is it Xiang Yan?"

……

At the head of Chen Yingcheng, Gongzi Qi stood on the city wall, his face red from the reflection of the skyrocketing fire in the distance.

"Defeated, the Qin army is defeated!"

He whispered.

Seeing the defeat of the country he once served, and watching the generals and soldiers of the Qin army who had respectfully saluted him being chased and killed by the Chu people, he still had a complicated feeling in his heart.

But soon, Gongzi Qi's expression became firm again, isn't this the result he wants? Why did the result be achieved, there would still be such a melancholy thought.

Eventually, his gaze looked south.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, you really came."

……

"I'm coming."

Xiang Yan stood on his chariot and looked at the flaming battlefield in the distance.

Next to the chariot was Xiang Qu on a horse.

Xiang Qu pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said with a smile: "My father came here this time is really timely, when our army and the Qin army were fighting each other, my father led his troops to attack the Qin army on the side, broke it, and then kept going, and led his sons to drive the Qin army to attack this place, so as to have such a big victory!"

….

"Hahaha, my father first defeated Li Xin in Xia Cai, and now he has defeated Meng Wu in Chen Ying, this is a monstrous achievement!"

"In this battle, my father's name will surely resound all over the world, and my Xiang clan will also have infinite glory!"

Looking at his son's high-spirited appearance, Xiang Yan's face was blank and there was no trace of joy.

He's coming.

fulfilled the agreement with Gongzi Qi.

broke 20,000 Qin troops on the bank of Yingshui, and drove the rout to attack the Mengwu army, making a great achievement, directly smashing the battle of Chu launched by the Qin State this time.

This time Xiang Yan's name is enough to shake the world!

But his trip was against the edict of the king of Chu.

"It is impossible for there to be 30,000 Qin troops in Huainan, they don't have so many boats to cross the river, and they don't have supply logistics, so it is impossible for so many Qin troops to sneak into Shouchun without being discovered."

"Although the Qin army doesn't know how it sneaked into the hinterland of my Chu State, they didn't dare to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and threatened to have an army of 30,000 to intimidate, this must be a false king, don't be gullible, in my opinion, they are only a few thousand people at most."

"I sent 10,000 people back to help Shouchun, plus the king recruited Shouchun to be young and strong, it is enough to protect Chu without loss, even if the other party really has 30,000 people, it will definitely not be able to break the city."

This was Xiang Yan's judgment, so he refused the order of the king of Chu to send him back for reinforcements, and only sent 10,000 people back.

He himself led the remaining Chu army north to attack the Qin army outside Xiangcheng.

In the past, the 30,000 Chu army lost thousands in the battle with Li Xin's chariot cavalry, and only more than 20,000 people remained, and now 10,000 people have been sent back to Shouchun, and Xiang Yan's available troops are actually about 15,000. For this reason, he even gave up continuing to chase Li Xin, who fled to the direction of Pingyu.

Because the battle in Xiangcheng is even more important!

The 70,000 men of Mengwu are the main force of the Qin army compared to Li Xin, as long as they can swallow it, then the Qin State will definitely suffer a heavy blow this time, and it will be difficult to gather new forces to attack Chu for a while.

This point is really too important for the state of Chu.

Not to mention, he, Xiang Yan, had already made an agreement with Gongzi Qi in Chen Yingcheng.

"So, here I am."

Xiang Yan muttered, "The king will definitely understand me. Everything I do is for the sake of the Chu State."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look back to the south and look in the direction of Shouchun.

Will the king really understand him?
