The Qin army broke through the city with a cannon, frightening all the defenders in the city. Diaphragm

The 5,000 Chu army had no fighting spirit, and the guard general Feng Houyi opened the city gate and led his troops to abandon the city and flee south, wanting to go in the direction of Huaiyang.

The fleeing Chu army was chased by Zhao Guangyi, who was lying in wait on the road in advance.

In this battle, the Qin army killed nearly 2,000 Chu soldiers, captured 900, and the rest were all scattered.

The total casualties of the Qin army were less than 100 people, and some of them were unlucky people who fell into the trap of the Mo family by mistake when entering the city.

After occupying Yangxia, Zhao Tuo stepped on several other city walls to check the layout of the city defenses above.

"The Mo family's city defense technique is really powerful."

I saw that these city walls were filled with all kinds of powerful weapons such as iron thistles, stones, crossbow machines, long axes, etc., every few steps, and under the city walls were all kinds of traps full of sharp blades. Diaphragm

If it was according to the ant-attached siege method commonly used in this era, even if the Qin army could defeat Yangxia, the number of dead and wounded would not know how many people would reach.

"Why should the general be so sarcastic, no matter how exquisite the defense of the city is, it is not as good as the Qin people's giant cannon technique."

"Is that really the invention of a loser?"

As a captive, the young ink man Bai Di gritted his teeth.

In the battle of Yangxia, the city defense technique that their Mo family was proud of was broken by the Qin army with a giant cannon, and it did not play any role, and this result caused a huge shock and blow to this group of Mo people who have always been proud of defending the city.

And his master, Deng Lingzi, the last leader of Chu Mo, and several ink scholars, in despair and sighs, faced the bombardment of the giant cannon and sacrificed their lives.

Bai Di fled from the city at the last moment, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and abandoned the morality of the Mo. Diaphragm

Instead, he wanted to know, who made that cannon?

Why has it not been known as a giant cannon for two hundred years since the death of the father-in-law, but the Qin army has made such a terrible thing in the past two or three years.

Is it really a relic of public loss, or is it something made by those ink people who took refuge in the Qin State?

Before Zhao Tuo could answer, the black buttocks who followed him smiled proudly: "You ink man really has eyes and doesn't know the mountains, the giant cannon you mentioned was invented by my general during the battle of Yan, and he is the descendant of Lu Ban, the son of the public loser!" Why, aren't you still convinced?"

Bai Di's body trembled, looked at the young general in front of him, who was younger than himself, and muttered, "Are you really a descendant of a public loser?"

Zhao Tuo smiled and was noncommittal.

Bai Di saw that Zhao Tuo did not deny it, and he didn't look like a disciple of the Mo family, thinking that he was really a loser. Diaphragm

After all, the public loses the son and never stresses morality. In order to gain wealth and nobility, the former prince made a special trip from Lu to Chu and invented siege equipment such as ladders for the king of Chu. Now it is also possible for his heirs to dedicate this terrible cannon to the Qin State for the sake of power.

Bai Di couldn't help but sigh.

"Master is right, the skill of kung fu is unparalleled in the world, and my Mo family is not as good as it. But ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Di's eyes were round with anger, and he scolded Zhao Tuo: "You have lost a vein for Qin to make this unrighteous weapon and launch an unjust war. Attacking the country of men, razing its gardens, seizing its cattle and horses, killing its people, occupying its cities and temples, and making the Qin State bully the weak, such acts are the great injustice of the world, even if they can destroy the country this time, it will ......."

Today, the Qin State obeys the will of Haotian and inherits the hearts of all the people, and it is the general trend to unify the world. The day is set at one time, then the war will be settled, the dispute will be extinguished, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

"Mo, you seem to be helping the Chu State for righteousness, but in fact it is just a small righteousness, and we are fighting for the unification of the world, eliminating disputes, and realizing true love and non-attack, this is the great righteousness!"

"Now, isn't it unrighteous for you to obstruct the great righteousness with small righteousness and turn your back on the ideal morality of Zi Mozi!"

Bai Di was dumbfounded, and was so speechless by Zhao Tuo's words.

Mozi, Shang Tong.

In addition to both love and non-attack, it also agrees with the principle that the world is determined to be one.

Bai Di was suppressed by Zhao Tuo with righteousness, his face was sad, and he no longer refuted, but whispered: "Our southern ink, words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, so that words and deeds are in harmony, as if in line with the festival." Since we have sworn to defend the city for Yangxia, the day the city is broken will be the time when we will lose our lives, and the master and the ink have been martyred, how can I have a reason to steal my life." Diaphragm

As he spoke, the Ink Artist Bai Di jumped down from the city wall.

The ink of the south has been extinct ever since.

Zhao Tuo looked at all this coldly.

He has no regrets in his heart, compared to Qin Moxiang to help Qin unify the world and achieve the ideal of true "love and non-attack".

Chudi's southern ink vision is actually too narrow and stubborn, holding on to the incomplete, and not conforming to the development of the times, so it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated by the times.

The advent of the giant cannon has only accelerated this process.

"Times have changed!" Diaphragm

Zhao Tuo stood on the wall, looking at the direction of the chasm in the distance, and sighed leisurely.

In the rear, Zhong Liyi looked at the young general in front of him with a complicated expression.

When he saw the giant cannon attacking the city for the first time, he was taken aback by the terrifying power, and realized more and more that the destruction of the Chu State was almost irreversible.

What shocked Zhong Liyi even more was that according to the black buttocks, this terrible weapon was actually invented by the young general in front of him.

A battle against the water, a military wizard.

Fen manure Quyuan, proficient in agricultural techniques.

Siege cannon, invented by ingenuity. Diaphragm

This young general, what else can't be done?

How many secrets are still hidden in his body?

Zhong Liyi's gaze was not only curious, but also full of respect, and he was completely convinced.

After a long time, Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze from looking into the distance, and said to the left and right, "Let's go."

……

The Qin army captured Yangxia, and no Chu people in the city resisted.

First, Yangxia is the second time that it has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and it is not difficult for Yangxia people to surrender. Diaphragm

The second is that these Yangxia Chu people have been frightened by the giant cannon, and they can't resist it.

In this case, Zhao Tuo pacified the people in the city, restrained the soldiers and kept them from invading the Chu people, and then waited for the arrival of the army.

A few days later, a black flood from the north rolled in.

The fluttering flags cover the sky and the sun, hundreds of thousands of troops are endless, and the raised spears and halberds reflect a dazzling brilliance in the sun, making people dare not look at each other directly.

Near Yangxia, all the Chu people who saw this scene trembled with fear.

"Shhh...... Is this the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State?"

Wu Guang was cutting firewood on a small slope, and when he saw this scene, the soles of his feet jumped cold. Diaphragm

The black-armored army on the road in the distance, which could not be seen at a glance, looked too shocking, and the entire Yangxia City did not have such a large number of men, women, and children combined.

Wu Guang couldn't help but be glad that the Qin army that captured Yangxia had a weapon like a giant cannon, which could quickly break through the city, otherwise if it was stopped by the city defense of the ink man, it would suffer heavy casualties, and when this huge Qin army went south, there would be a river of blood in Yangxia City.

"It seems that the state of Chu is dead this time, and I have to integrate into the rule of the Qin people as soon as possible."

Wu Guang whispered to himself, compared to those ignorant Qian, who did not know the changes in the situation

First of all, he who has read books and is slightly educated, can naturally feel that the times are changing.

The Qin people are coming.

This country of Jingchu, which has lasted for 800 years, may also cease to exist.

…… Diaphragm

The water of the chasm flowed slowly, and countless boats and ships came from the north, transporting large quantities of corn and grass from Aocang in Xingyang, and replenishing the army's grain along the way.

This is also the reason why Wang Jian wanted to send Zhao Tuo to take Yangxia first, and the grain route of the Qin army must not allow any possible danger.

Hundreds of thousands of troops began to set up camp in the wide area on the side of the chasm, and as far as the eye could see, it was endless.

Except for a Qin army sent south by Wang Jian to capture Guling, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops had to stay here for one night, and then continue south, passing Guling and entering Huaiyang, where you could see Xiang Yan's Chu army gathered there.

Outside the big tent of the barracks, the Yubao dragon flag was flying.

"It's finally time to decide on the next strategic deployment."

Zhao Tuo straightened the crown on his head and walked towards the big tent in the military camp where Wang Jian was. Diaphragm

Now the army of Qin has reached the north of Huaiyang, and Yang Duan and his army in the south have also advanced near Shangcai.

On the Chu side, the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops led by Xiang Yan retreated near Huaiyang, looking like they were going to start a big war there and resist to the end.

The war situation has been clear, and on this day, Wang Jian summoned the generals to discuss the matter, which is to carry out the next strategic planning and deployment, and decide how to start this battle to destroy Chu.

It is to concentrate the troops, fight a decisive battle with Xiang Yan under Huaiyang City, and start a shocking battle, and the battle will determine the victory or loss.

Or disperse the huge forces, attack from all sides, attack the city and plunder the land, and divide and swallow the huge Chu State.

Or ......

The last possibility comes to mind. Diaphragm

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth couldn't help but curvature.
