Chapter 199: Yan Guo Le Yi

After the Huai army captured one side of Kuimen, the other side naturally could not be defended. The Shanyue soldiers climbed over the mountains one by one, quickly shuttling through the mountains.

These soldiers were all dressed in rattan armor, armed only with horizontal swords, hook locks, flying claws, and bows and arrows, and were far lighter in the mountains than the soldiers of the Chu State who were equipped with iron armor. After these Shanyue soldiers climbed the cliffs, the originally small defenders of the Chu State were either killed, fled, or surrendered.

The Huai State soon occupied Kuimen, because the water flow in Kuimen was turbulent, which was not conducive to sailing, and the Huai army went ashore from Kuimen, and after crossing Kuimen, they continued to advance towards Jiangzhou.

When the king of Chu learned that Kuimen had been lost, he was shocked and hurriedly gathered an army to block Huai. The army of Chu State rushed to Jiangdu one after another.

Sun Bin was not in a hurry to attack, but asked the army behind him to repair the road to ensure that the rear road of the army was unblocked. Sun Bin brought a large number of craftsmen from the Mo family and the public losers with him on this expedition.

Some of these craftsmen stayed behind to direct the people behind to repair the roads, and some followed the army.

The news of Huai's breakthrough of Kuimen shocked the whole of Western Chu, and the king of Chu recruited a large number of soldiers to attack Sun Bin. It's just that the most elite army of Chu has already gone to attack Qin, and although there are many remaining troops, their strength is far from being Sun Bin's opponent.

Sun Bin led 20,000 elites to break through seven cities in a row, defeated tens of thousands of Chu troops, and then drove straight into Jiangzhou. The army of Huai State approached the city, and the whole of Chu State was shocked, and Chu State once again felt the danger of destroying the country.

It's just that compared with the previous Chu State, where the feudal monarchs were scattered everywhere, the current Western Chu State is much more united. In addition, Jiangzhou City is a mountain city, the terrain is dangerous, far from being comparable to Yingdu, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, so the king of Chu ordered the Badi army to return to help, and ordered the soldiers in the city to defend it.

After Hanzhong and Brazil learned that the Huai army was approaching the city, they were shocked and dispatched their armies to prepare for King Qin. It's just that the army in Brazil has been fighting with the Qin army for a long time, and if they want to withdraw their troops, the Qin army will not agree.

Sima Cuo had long regarded these Chu troops as war exploits, how could he let them escape. Hanzhong could only send people to let the soldiers who attacked Qin retreat, and at the same time, once again recruit soldiers to go to King Qin of Jiangzhou.

After the Great War of Qin, Western Chu, and Huai began, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei also formed a three-Jin alliance to attack Qin. Han Wei made a detour to Anyi and directly attacked the land west of the river, while Zhao attacked the upper county of Qin with a large army.

The Qin army, which was fighting with the Western Chu State, was suddenly attacked by the Three Jin Dynasty, and several cities were broken in succession for a while. Upon learning of the sneak attack of the Three Jin Coalition Army, King Qin's face was gloomy, and he appointed Gongsun Yan as a general and dispatched a large army to resist the Three Jin Coalition Army.

At the same time, just after the Huai State attacked the Western Chu State, the Qi State, which had long been eager to try, attacked the Huai State again. For the attack of Qi State, Huai State had already prepared, and before the Qi State army was dispatched, the secret guard had already sent back the news that Qi State had secretly recruited soldiers and hoarded grain and grass.

The army of Huai State gathered, and the 200,000 army of Qi State attacked Huai, but it was easily blocked by Huai State.

At this time, the State of Qi was no longer the powerful State of Qi during the reign of King Qi Wei, but the State of Huai was thriving. Wang Xu sent Gongzi Ji as the main general to lead the army to deal with the Qi State. Gongzi Ji Nai is the most talented disciple of the Wang family in this generation.

Studied under Sun Bin to learn the way of soldiers, although not as good as Sun Bin, but his commander and military strategy are also about 90 talents.

With him in command of the army, Qi did not have the slightest chance. Gongzi Ji commanded the army, and was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack against the Qi army, but let the army defend and lure the Qi army to attack the city.

At the same time, Gongzi Ji sent cavalry to harass the Qi army and attacked the Qi army's grain route. The Qi army was annoyed by the harassment of these cavalry.

The cavalry of the Huai State was different from the cavalry of the Zhao State, because of its location in the north and the large number of Hu people, who were proficient in cavalry and archery, while the cavalry of the Huai State was more like mounted infantry.

These cavalrymen moved quickly with the help of horses, and in battle, they dismounted and used crossbow arrows and horizontal knives, although these cavalrymen could also use crossbow arrows and horizontal knives to attack on horses. It's just that it's not as skilled as the cavalry of Zhao State.

The cavalry of this era did not have stirrups, and even the saddle was very rudimentary, and it was able to fight on horseback, which required extremely strong riding skills, and the legs had to be clamped between the belly of the horse.

Qi sent soldiers to besiege, the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry at all, but were shot by the cavalry with crossbow arrows, if the Qi army was small in number and there was no array, the Huai cavalry would even take the opportunity to rush up and defeat it.

If the Qi army is large in number and lined up in formation, they will release crossbow arrows in the distance to harass and attack. The Qi army sent chariots to pursue the cavalry, but although the chariots were faster than the infantry, they still couldn't catch up with the cavalry.

At the same time, the cavalry can also use the flexibility to divide the Qi army chariots and then encircle them.

For a while, they were helpless against the Huai cavalry, so they could only send a large army to protect the grain route.

Because of the harassment of the cavalry, the siege of the Qi army was also very difficult, the Qi army braved the rain of arrows to attack the city, and suffered heavy casualties, as for those ladder engineering equipment, it was also burned by the Huai State with a bed crossbow rocket.

Gongzi Ji was not in a hurry to defeat the Qi State, but slowly bled the Qi State, waited until the Qi soldiers were exhausted, and then the army was dispatched to break the Qi in one battle. In this way, not only can the Qi State be successfully defeated, but the casualties of the Huai State will be much smaller.

Yan country, Jicheng.

After more than ten years of vigorous soldiers and horses, the law has become strong, and the current Yan country can be said to be a soldier with enough food, and the Yan country at this time can be described as the peak of national strength.

The heroic young prince Shen has become a middle-aged Yan King. At that time, a large number of talents were attracted through the golden platform, so that Yan Guo completed the change.

In the past ten years, Yan has broken Donghu, attacked Lou Fu, expanded the territory for thousands of miles, and made Yan a big country with a place of 2,000 miles. It's just that the vast majority of the land in Yan is grassland, which is not only sparsely populated, but also has a cold climate, which is not conducive to farming.

Yan Wang Shen sighed: "The prosperity of the Yan State today, thanks to the merits of all the talents, the widow heard that the army of Qi 200,000 and the Huai State are at war, and they want to seize the land of Huaisi, and they fought with Wei Zhao a few years ago to fight for the land, this time it can be said that they are enemies on all sides. In the past, the Qi State defeated three Jin Dynasty in a row, attacked our Yan State in the north, and almost wiped out the Yan State. ”

"If it weren't for Zhao Wei's help, my Yan Kingdom would have been destroyed for a long time, and now my Yan Kingdom is strong, but the Qi State is caught in the Huai State War, now may be the best time to deal with the Qi State!"

Yan Guoguo Xiang Le Yi stepped forward and said: "Great King, now is indeed the time to deal with Qi State, Qi State has 400,000 soldiers, half of which are against Huai State, and the remaining 200,000 are scattered on the border and Linzi, we can just gather troops to attack Qi State." ”

"When the time comes, we will attack the Qi country, the Qi country will definitely be in chaos, the Huai country will definitely not let go of this opportunity, how can the Qi country be the opponent of my Yan country at that time?"
