The war between the Qin State and the Yiqu, the Sanjin and the Western Chu State has reached the point of life and death crisis. Fortunately, the Western Chu State was also unable to support the Huai State, so it summoned a large army to come back to help.

If the Qin State continues to entangle with the Western Chu State, this time the Qin State will be greatly injured even if it does not destroy the country.

The king of Qin sent envoys, and after successfully negotiating peace with Zhao, he immediately liberated an army of 100,000, and immediately the king of Qin sent these troops south to attack the allied forces of Korea and Wei.

The combined forces of Korea and Wei did not know that Qin and Zhao were negotiating peace, and they had no defense against the north. After Qin and Zhao negotiated peace, Zhao reduced its forces, and the left flank of Han and Wei immediately vacated a gap.

The newly liberated state of Qin immediately moved south from this gap and launched an attack on the two countries.

Han and Wei were attacking Yin Jin with all their might, and the Yin Jin Qin army was already crumbling, and it was about to be unable to support it, when Qin reinforcements suddenly attacked from the flank.

The soldiers of Korea and Wei also became exhausted because of the siege of the city, and the army of Qin was waiting for work, and launched a surprise attack, and the army of Han and Wei was defeated by killing tens of thousands of people and wounded, and the army was defeated.

After defeating the Han and Wei coalition forces, the Qin army did not continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle, but accepted it when it saw that it was good, and sent the army back. Just when the Qin State and Han Wei were at war, tens of thousands of Yiqu State troops in Xianyang of the Qin State were besieging the Qin army.

The Yiqu State implements half-farming and half-herding, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, and the soldiers in the country are proficient in riding and shooting, which can be said to come and go like the wind, and the mobility is extremely strong, the infantry of the Qin army cannot catch up at all, and the chariots are not flexible enough, and the initiative of the battlefield is completely controlled by the Yiqu State.

The Qin army was embarrassed by the harassment of the Yiqu State, and did not dare to pursue it at all, and the Yiqu State did not dare to fight hard with the Qin State, and it was stalemate for a while.

Western Chu State, Jiangzhou.

After seeing that Jiangzhou City was difficult to conquer, Sun Bin did not attack again, but held the main roads in Jiangzhou, and then used trebuchets and bed crossbows to attack every day. The army began to attack the cities of Western Chu.

These cities were originally drawn with a large number of soldiers and a lack of troops, so the Huai State used trebuchets and bed crossbows to suppress them, and then sent soldiers to take the opportunity to attack. One city after another was conquered by the Huai State.

After defeating all the reinforcements that came to King Qin, the morale in Jiangzhou City plummeted, and when Sun Bin captured all the surrounding cities, Jiangzhou City would become an isolated city. At that time, even if it is a siege, Jiangzhou City will be able to be consumed to death.

At the same time, in the Hanzhong Plain, after Wei Zong occupied Shangyong City, he continued to march towards Hanzhong, and Hanzhong twice drew a large army before and after, and the troops were poor, and after successive defeats, the troops were dwarfed.

After Wei Zong learned that the Hanzhong army had not returned from attacking Qin on the Bao Slope Road, he immediately led the Tengjia Army of 5,000 to bypass the Hanzhong County to govern Nanzheng, and directly came to the Baogukou. Baogukou is the starting point of the southern section of the Baogu Road, and the army needs to travel north from Baogu through hundreds of miles of plank roads, mountain roads, and river valleys to reach Yixian.

The army of the Western Chu State invaded the Qin State in the north, and once the slope was blocked, tens of thousands of Western Chu troops were blocked in this river valley.

Don't look at Weizong, there are only 5,000 people, but if these 5,000 people are blocked here, the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Chu Kingdom will not be able to move an inch. If Wei Zong was more ruthless and directly burned the plank road of the Bao Slope Road, the tens of thousands of Western Chu Kingdom would really be blocked inside.

However, until the last step, Wei Zong would not use this method. Burning the plank road, if the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Chu State did not want to die, they could only surrender to the Qin State.

This is unacceptable to Huaiguo.

If tens of thousands of elite Chu troops surrender to Qin, Qin's strength will increase greatly. Huai's idea of weakening Qin was completely shattered. Therefore, the best way is to force these tens of thousands of Western Chu troops to surrender.

The Huai army bypassed Nanzheng, and when the defenders of Nanzheng saw it, they immediately understood what they wanted to do, but Nanzheng's side was also short of troops, and they were worried that this was Huai's strategy to lure the enemy. is to lure the Nan Zheng defenders out.

The Chu army of Southern Zheng and Western hesitated, and at this time, the follow-up troops of Huai State had also arrived. Huai attacked Western Chu this time, mobilized 200,000 troops, and 200,000 people.

Attacking the Western Chu State, the most difficult thing is not the siege, but the road, the road leading to the Huai State of the Western Chu State is basically a mountain road, rugged and difficult, and a large number of people need to dig the road. Just like the road from Yicheng to Jiangdu, many times, plank roads have to be built.

In order to attack the Western Chu State, the Chidao that Huai was building was also temporarily stopped, and the craftsmen who built the Chidao were sent to Hanzhong and Yicheng to build the road.

If you want to control Jiangzhou and Hanzhong, transportation is very important. If the transportation is inconvenient, it is easy to create local separatist forces, and if you want to attack it, it is also because the mountain roads are difficult to travel, the cost is huge, and there are countless casualties.

Of course, this is something that can only be done after the destruction of the Western Chu State.

Weizong's army blocked Baogu, and then the follow-up army surrounded Nanzheng Tuan, and then began to build engineering equipment to attack.

The land of Hanzhong is not small, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a plain in the middle, coupled with the irrigation of many rivers such as the Han River, the land of Hanzhong can easily feed hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people.

The Huai army surrounded Nanzheng and built various siege equipment to attack. Nan Zhengcheng was short of troops and was not an opponent of Huai at all.

The cocoon car up to several zhang was erected, dozens of archers threw it, suppressed the head of the city of Nancheng, and the stone thrower continued to throw stones the size of a fist, and for a time above the head of the city of Nanzheng, falling stones were like rain, and arrows were like a forest.

The soldiers of the Western Chu State raised their shields to resist, but those shields were smashed on them by falling stones, and they were quickly smashed, and stones of several catties in size fell down, even the iron can't bear it, and the head is directly smashed and bleeding.

The defenders of the Western Chu State were originally second-line troops, and in the face of such casualties, they couldn't bear it at all, if it weren't for the parents, wives and children in the city, these people would have collapsed long ago.

The Huaiguo army advanced rapidly, and soon there was a cocoon close to the city wall, and the one-zhang long baffle in front of the cocoon fell instantly, just on the city wall.

In addition, there was an iron hook at the end of the baffle, and the iron hook hooked the city wall, and the soldiers of the Western Chu State couldn't push it away for a while, and with the baffle falling, the Huai State Xiandeng warriors, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed up and fought with the Western Chu army on the city wall.

The warriors of Huai Guo Xiandeng are all elites, one by one wearing rattan armor, holding horizontal knives and crossbow arrows, slashing left and right, and soon clearing out a vacant space on the city wall, and then a steady stream of Huai troops rushed up.

The city of Nanzheng was attacked by the Huai army for only three days before it was completely breached. The army captured Nanzheng, and the land of Hanzhong could almost be said to be returned to Huai.

And when the Huai State captured Nanzheng, the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Chu State had also already exported from the valley, and when they saw that the exit was blocked by the Huai army, the army of the Western Chu State was shocked, and its commander led the elite attack.
