Huaiyin.

A city located in the south of Huaishui, in ancient times, it was called Yin, so this place was called Huaiyin.

This is the Shang and Zhou Dynasty Dongyi, Huaiyi belonging, and later owned by Wu. Then to Goujian to destroy Wu, Huaiyin became the territory of the Yue State again, all the way, and finally when the Chu State broke through the Yue, Huaiyin finally became the land of Chu.

Since Xiong Qi, a descendant of the King of Chu, ascended the throne as the King of Chu in Huaiyin, the city has become the new capital of the "State of Chu" in a sense.

There are even Huaiyin locals who secretly call this city "Huaiying", and they are quite proud.

I didn't expect that the little Huaiyin would one day become the capital of a country.

It's just that now this temporary capital of Chu is in a panic.

"The Qin army is here!"

"The king is fighting with the Qin army that crossed the Huai in the east, and there are no more than 10,000 soldiers who have returned to Huaiyin, and I heard that there are tens of thousands of Qin troops who came this time. Can you hold on to such a gap in strength? ”

"Why didn't Ling Yin come back with his troops! If Huaiyin is lost, won't this Chu State die again? ”

……

When the news came that the Qin army made a detour from Dongyang, avoided the Chu army's good road defense line, and approached Huaiyin, the people in the entire Huaiyin city were panicked, and even before the Qin army arrived, many people took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and ran to the surrounding mountains and villages, each looking for a way to survive.

It was in this chaotic situation that the black Qin Banner finally appeared in the southwest of Huaiyin City.

"General, according to the confession of the Chu people captured by our army scouts, General Feng Wuxue has crossed the Huai River in the east of Huaiyin a few days ago. When the puppet king Xiong Qi learned about it, he immediately led his troops to intercept it, and now the two armies are fighting fiercely. ”

"After the puppet king Xiong Qi learned the news that our army was approaching Huaiyin, he ordered the Chu general Cai Yuan to lead 10,000 Chu troops back to Huaiyin, wanting to use this city to block our advance."

Su Jiao, the two or five hundred lord who was in charge of the investigation, reported the military situation to Zhao Tuo and the generals with a serious expression.

"Hmm."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Huaiyin had 30,000 Chu troops, Xiong Qizi led 20,000 Zheng to fight with Feng Wuxuan's troops, and at the same time sent 10,000 to help Huaiyin to block Zhao Tuo.

If Zhao Tuo can break the 10,000 Chu army first, he can go straight to Xiong Qi's army formation from the rear and attack Feng Wuxuan's troops back and forth, so that the Chu army will be defeated.

But if Xiong Qi defeats Feng Wuxue's army first, he can lead the army back to the division, join the 10,000 Chu army, and jointly meet Zhao Tuo's army, and then lose Feng Wuxue's support, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose the two armies of Qin and Chu.

Therefore, judging from the current situation in Huaiyin, whoever breaks through the obstacles in front of him first will be biased in the outcome of the battlefield.

"The Chu army was defeated, and it was a mistake for the 10,000 Chu troops to return to Huaiyin, and the general only needed to send 10,000 people outside the city to besiege but not attack, and then the 10,000 Chu troops in Huaiyin could be blocked in the city. At that time, the general will lead the elite to directly defeat the traitor Xiong Qi, and he will be able to win this battle. ”

Zhao Guang spoke in a deep voice.

The generals nodded in agreement, and all the generals in the city did not understand the military.

"The general of Jing Chu, if he is defeated, he will kill himself, so there are fewer and fewer people who are good at fighting, if the likes of Zhaoping and Xiang Qu do not commit suicide after defeat, how can our army successfully reach here."

Zhao Tuo sighed and shook his head, now that the Chu general on the opposite side made a mistake, he only cared about shrinking his forces to defend the city, so that he could successfully kill Xiong Qi, and this victory was already in sight.

However, Zhao Tuo always had a worry in his heart, and this worry did not appear inexplicably, but came from the fear of Xiang Yan's tens of thousands of Chu troops.

With Xiang Yan's old spicy, wouldn't he know that after the failure of Jingtong's raid, Huaiyin would face danger?

In this case, how could he Xiang Yan not move, the biggest possibility is to block Wang Qian's main army on the one hand, and send troops and horses to support Huaiyin and attack Zhao Tuo's part.

Seeing that their generals looked worried, the generals opened their mouths to be relieved.

Black Buttocks immediately shouted, "Don't worry, General. The general is now storming Shandao, and the Chu army wants to defend it, even if he sends troops over, there will not be many people. ”

Zhang He also followed: "Yes, besides, our army is full of rangers on the road, if the Chu army really comes, then the cavalry along the way will come to report, and now I haven't received any news, I think the Chu army is still far away from us......"

"General! The cavalry came quickly and reported that a large number of Chu troops were found! ”

Xi Qigu, who was in charge of the affairs of the camp, strode into the tent and said with an anxious expression: "Look at the flag of the Chu army, it is the banner of the order of the state of Chu. Xiang Yan personally led the troops to attack our army, and now it is only two days away! ”

Hearing this, the generals looked stunned.

Not only because the Chu army really came, but also because Xiang Yan personally led the troops, isn't this guy good?

As soon as Xiang Yan withdrew, Wang Jian could easily capture Shandao City with superior forces, and the main force of the Qin army could follow the Shandao to attack Huaiyin.

However, compared to the changes in the situation in terms of good paths, Zhao Tuo's side has become dangerous. After Xiang Yan abandoned the good way, his main force was at least thirty or forty thousand people, plus the number of Huaiyin and Xiong Qi, once they arrived, it was enough for Zhao Tuo's army to be wiped out here.

Zhao Tuo calmed down, if the Chu army did not appear, he would still be worried, Xiang Yan appeared with the main force of the Chu army, but he was not so worried.

The situation in front of him made Zhao Tuo think of a sentence.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Now, Xiong Qi is the cicada that drinks dew, and he is entangled with Feng Wuxue's drop of dew.

He, Zhao Tuo, is the praying mantis in the rear, who wants to step forward to kill Xiong Qi's cicada.

Behind Zhao Tuo, Xiang Yan, a yellow finch, appeared again, which was flying down to eat Zhao Tuo's praying mantis.

"I think the general is the last goshawk."

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, the current situation is completely clear.

"One thing catches one thing, one army overcomes one army."

"It's up to whoever swallows the food and eats the enemy faster."

Zhao Tuo's eyes suddenly froze, and he began to issue military orders to the generals.

"Our army is 40,000 people, and the 10,000 Chu troops of the Shejian Department and all the auxiliaries are left here to block Huaiyin, as well as ...... Resist Xiang Yan's army! ”

"Indirect orders."

Shiruma stood up and spoke in a deep voice, his face was very calm, and there was even a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

He felt the affection of the general.

10,000 soldiers plus 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to resist the main force of Huaiyin Chu Army and Xiang Yan, this task can be described as nine deaths, but it is very important.

Handed over this task to Shima, just because he is Zhao Tuo's most trusted person!

Seeing that the order was involved, Zhao Tuo's expression was slightly soothed, and he continued to order: "The two main forces of Meng Tian and Zhao Guang, follow me to attack Xiong Qi!" Our army broke Xiong Qi, and then turned back to support Captain Shima and fought against that Xiang Yan! ”

"Yui!"

Meng Tian and Zhao Guang immediately accepted the order.

Zhao Tuo thought of something again and said, "By the way, since you have arrived in Huaiyin, you don't need to fight the banner of General Qiang anymore." Show my Zhao Tuo's flag and give Xiong Qi a little surprise. ”

……

On the banks of the Huai Shui.

To the sound of war drums, the red tide kept rushing forward, hitting the camps with black flags.

"This Feng Wuxuan is really difficult."

Chu Wangqi stood in the camp, looking at the Chu army in the distance to launch an offensive, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

After knowing that Feng Wuxue led his army to smuggle across Huaishui, he immediately led a large army to attack and kill him, wanting to quickly eliminate him.

But he didn't expect Feng Wuxue to also inherit Wang Qian's turtle attributes, and immediately after crossing the Huai, he set up a fortress and built a fortress, only defending but not attacking, and sticking to the camp without leaving, and at the same time, through the Qin ships on the Huai River, soldiers and grain were transported non-stop.

Although the Chu army was brave, under Feng Wuxuan's full defense, it was difficult to break through the Qin camp for a while.

Especially at this time, the news from the direction of Dongyang came that the Qin general Qiang led the army to Huaiyin.

There is Feng Wuxuan camping in the east, and there is a Qiang fistula attack in the west, and Huaiyin is in danger!

Under such circumstances, Chu Wang Qi ordered people to ask for help from Ling Yin Xiangyan, and at the same time sent 10,000 people to intercept the Qin army.

He did not dare to lead the army back to Huaiyin.

Chu Wang Qi knew very well, don't look at this Feng Wuxue at the moment like a shrinking turtle to defend the Qin camp, let the Chu army attack and not fight back.

But if the Chu army dares to retreat, then Feng Wuxuan will lead the army to rush out and launch a ferocious counterattack, and may even cause the Chu army to suffer a major rout due to the retreat.

So Chu Jun had no other choice.

"I hope that these 10,000 people can block the Qiang Fist, and after Bugu breaks through the Qin camp and defeats Feng Wuxuan, then go to face the Qiang Fist."

"Pass the order, the offensive will not stop today, and the onslaught will be carried out overnight! We must take down the Qin camp quickly! ”

Just when the king of Chu issued the military order.

The messenger from the direction of Huaiyin has brought the latest news.

"King, General Cai led the army back to aid Huaiyin, and wanted to block the Qin army with the city."

"But only half of the Qin army was left to besiege Huaiyin, and the Qin general Zhao Tuo led the rest of the Qin army to come here!"

Chu Wang Qi was shocked and shouted, "What? Then how could Cai Yuan fight like this and lead 10,000 troops to defend the city, didn't this expose Bugu to the Qin army? ”

"That Qin general...... Wait, Zhao Tuo? Isn't the commander of the Qin army a Qiang? ”

"How could it be Zhao Tuo!"

There is a third watch in the evening.
