Chapter 204: The Lonely City of Western Chu

Wei Zong led 5,000 vine armor troops to defend Baogu, and 80,000 troops of Western Chu State attacked.

Baogu is not very spacious, and the 80,000 troops of the Western Chu State can only be lined up in a long snake. The army was blocked by the Huai State several times, the strength of the vine armor army was strong, the position of the valley mouth was so big, the numerical advantage of the Western Chu State could not be brought into play at all, and tens of thousands of troops were blocked in the valley and could not advance or retreat.

The Western Chu State attacked three times in a row, but was repulsed by the Tengjia Army. The officers and soldiers of the Western Chu Army were originally returning to Hanzhong, but they were blocked at the mouth of the valley, and they were all anxious.

In addition, the food and grass in the army were about to run out, and the Western Chu army was even more anxious. In the next three days, the army of Western Chu attacked almost day and night, trying to break through the mouth of the valley. However, under the calm response of the Huaiguo Tengjia Army, they were all blocked.

Even under the onslaught of the Western Chu State regardless of casualties, the camp of the Huai State was destroyed, but just when the Western Chu army thought that it was going to break through the Huai Army this time, the Tengjia army withdrew to the second line of defense.

After the Huai State occupied the Baogu, because the width of the Baogu Valley was limited, the army could not be lined up, so Weizong built three camps in the Baogu Valley, that is to say, if the Western Chu army wanted to get out of the Baogu, it needed to break through the three camps.

Just when the Western Chu Kingdom was excited to break through the camp and thought that this time it was going to go out of the valley, not far ahead, a second camp appeared in front of them.

After seeing another camp appear, the originally high morale of the Western Chu Kingdom instantly fell to the bottom. Many soldiers of the Western Chu State even had the idea of what is the use of breaking through this camp, if you break through one, the Huai people will be able to build two.

The Huai people can afford it, but they can't afford it.

Seeing this situation, the army of the Western Chu State almost fell into despair, and Xiang Yun, the chief general of the Western Chu State, turned pale. Now there are only two roads left in front of him, surrender to Qin or surrender to Huai.

The Huai State and the Western Chu State had the enmity of destroying the country, and among the nobles who migrated to the Western Chu State, none of the elders died in the hands of the Huai State, and which family's fief was not occupied by the Huai State.

These people are very hostile to Huai and are unwilling to surrender Huai, while on the other hand, the soldiers of Western Chu have no hatred for Huai. In addition, the families of these soldiers are all in Nanzheng, and they want to surrender to Huai even more. As for the surrender of the Qin State, once these soldiers know about it, it is very likely that these soldiers will directly rebel.

Wei Zong saw that the morale of the army of Western Chu was low, and he immediately knew that the time had come. So he sent an envoy to bring the families of the soldiers in Nanzheng City.

After the occupation of Nanzheng, the Huai State adopted the same method, the army sent soldiers to control the order, all the traitors were directly killed, controlled the treasury, opened warehouses for the people to release grain, and controlled the nobles and wealthy households in the city.

Coupled with the curfew and the system of joint sitting, the entire Nanzheng was soon controlled by the Huai army.

The morale of the Western Chu army was low, and it was unable to break through the Huai army camp several times in a row, and at this time the psychological pressure had reached the extreme, as long as there was an introduction, the entire army would fall like dominoes.

Wei Zong sent people to bring the families of the soldiers of the Western Chu State in Nanzheng, and then asked them to stand in front of the camp and shouted at the soldiers of the Western Chu State.

"Son, the Huai people have already occupied Nanzheng, they did not slaughter, but distributed food to our family, your mother and daughter-in-law are fine, come back quickly!"

"San'er, my mother is here, my mother is fine, the people of Huaiguo have distributed food and distributed fields to our family, come back quickly!"

The call of his parents made the army of the Western Chu State no longer have the fighting spirit, and the soldiers in the entire camp looked at the commander Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun looked at the pair of expectant eyes, he knew that this time the Western Chu Kingdom was completely defeated, he closed his eyes with a long sigh, and said softly: "Descend!" ”

As Xiang Yun's voice fell, the entire camp seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, this time there was no need to die, and he could be reunited with his family.

Soon the soldiers of the Western Chu State laid down their arms, surrendered to the Huai State, laid down their weapons, and entered the Huai State military camp.

Wei Zong registered these soldiers, and then released these soldiers to their homes, and all the people and soldiers of Nanzheng were grateful to Wei Zong.

And just after the surrender of the army of the Western Chu State, Xiang Yun, the chief general of the Western Chu State, also killed himself in the camp.

As one of the few nobles in the Chu State, the Xiang family has always been an important nobleman in the Western Chu State. Xiang committed suicide, and the Western Chu State was almost at the moment of destruction.

Wei Zong registered the soldiers of the Western Chu State and tied them together by the method of joint sitting. After these soldiers returned home after several hard battles, they completely lost their fighting spirit, and Nanzheng was also firmly controlled by Huai State.

After leaving a part of the army in Shangyong and Nanzheng, Wei Zong began to lead the remaining cities to attack. Shangyong and Nanzheng were both breached, and how could these remaining small cities be the opponents of Huai.

The Huai army was like a wind sweeping away the leaves, breaking through the Chu cities on the Hanzhong Plain. The entire Hanzhong Plain also completely fell into the hands of the Huai State.

In order to prevent the Qin army from attacking, Weizong once again built a camp in the Baogu Valley.

At the same time, Weizong also left a large number of soldiers in the pass where Guanzhong entered Shu, and sent Minzhuang to repair it.

There were 100,000 craftsmen in the Huai army, and after Wei Zong completed the occupation of Hanzhong, he began to renovate and renovate the roads in Hanzhong.

100,000 people were distributed all over Hanzhong, and at the same time, a large number of craftsmen were recruited to build roads, repair water conservancy, and use the method of work for relief to allow the people of Huaiguo to obtain money and food.

The Huai State did not have a difficult time capturing Hanzhong, and there were not many casualties, while the war between the Qin State and the Western Chu State in the land of Bashu was very fierce.

Especially when the soldiers of the Western Chu State learned of the great changes in the rear, they still continued to attack it, harassing and entangled, and firmly trapped the 100,000 troops of the Western Chu State in the land of Bashu.

Sima Cuo led the army to take advantage of the opportunity of the Western Chu army to waver and want to retreat, and suddenly cut off the grain route of the Western Chu army, and the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Chu army were short of food and their morale collapsed. The Qin army took the opportunity to attack and broke it. Beheading tens of thousands. Sima Co occupies the land of Brazil.

After occupying the land of Brazil, Sima Cuo led an army to attack Bazhong and destroy Western Chu in a battle, and at this time, the envoys from Xianyang also hurried over. It was really difficult to walk on the Shu Road, and at this time, Sima Cuo knew that the Qin State was at war with the Five Kingdoms and almost perished.

After getting the news, Sima Cuo had to give up continuing to attack Western Chu, leaving most of the soldiers stationed, and then personally led 5,000 Qin troops back to rescue.

After the attack of Huai and Qin, the large army of Western Chu was completely wiped out, leaving only some defenders of the city and tens of thousands of troops guarding Jiangdu.
