As long as you capture this seventh city, there will be a great river leading directly to Eyi in front!

Wang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Rush!" ”

The deputy general wanted to speak and stopped, Hubei was once the capital of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was of great political significance, and the credit for capturing it was higher than capturing the first six cities.

In addition to its political status, Hubei has great geographical and strategic advantages, and it can be called a battleground for soldiers.

Once the Eyi was occupied, it was equivalent to occupying an important meeting place, that is, the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the two waterways of the Qin State to attack the Chu State.

The Qin State could directly receive the supply of grain and grass from the two most important grain-producing areas in Guanzhong and Shu County in Eyi, and collect grain in Eyi.

The state of Chu will open its door widely, even if it still has a large area of land, but there is no natural danger to defend, and there is no big river to rely on.

Hubei is an important frontier for the Qin State as Shangdang is for the Zhao State.

"General, the state of Chu has built forts on both sides of Eyi, and before we get closer, they will find out." The adjutant general tried to dispel Wang Qian's adventure.

"Yes, General. According to the spies, the main gate of Hubei was built near the water, and the land in front of the city gate was narrow, so it was not suitable for us to land. The young general persuaded.

"We have less than 5,000 troops, and once we land, we will be heavily surrounded."

"If we stay on the warship, we won't have enough supplies. As long as the Chu army besieges us, we will not be able to hold on. ”

"Don't talk about taking Eyi, just the small city in front of us, we may not be able to take it."

"We take most of the warships of Bashu, if it is...... How do I explain to the county captain? ”

Battle exploits, who doesn't want it? But the military exploits of the living are worth more than the military exploits of the dead.

Wang Jian smiled evilly: "Who told you that I am going to land in Eyi?" ”

The adjutant general was stunned: "But you ......"

Wang Jian patted the railing, bang, the railing did not move at all, it was extremely strong, it could be seen that Bai Gong was doing his best.

Wang Jian: "One side of the city gate in Hubei is the water gate, and we can drive directly along the river to the edge of the city wall. Now that the river is swelling, our ships are tall enough for the soldiers to use them as siege ladders! ”

The deputy general was so agitated that his heart was itching, if he really won Eyi, the county lieutenant would definitely not treat himself and others badly.

But......

Wang Jian glanced at everyone, and he could see the concerns in their hearts: "We have sails, once the situation is not right, we can raise the sails, and the Chu army will definitely not be able to catch up with us!" ”

The adjutant general looked at everyone and then replied in embarrassment: "We don't have any military orders like this...... In case of a full-scale war between the two countries......"

Wang Jian said confidently: "You are following the county lieutenant to the south and north, fighting the Zhao State, forcibly crossing the Fen River, and building a defense line across the west of the river, you should understand the temperament of the county lieutenant." What do you think the lieutenant would have done if she had learned of the current situation? ”

"One word, it's dry!" The adjutant general thought of the county lieutenant, and his originally apprehensive heart instantly settled down.

After reaching a consensus, Wang Jian began to storm the seventh city.

From early morning to evening, the Qin army did not even get off the ship, and with the help of bed slave crossbows and trebuchets on the ship, they broke through the city wall.

Xu is very few people have invaded the land of Chu, the small city can not organize an effective defense, after seeing the city wall was broken, they scattered birds and beasts, and fled to the mountains and forests.

"Send troops to the city in batches to replenish supplies and rest." Wang Jian ordered.

Adjutantant: "Is it too dangerous?" The Chu people are still hiding in the mountains and forests, and in case of a sneak attack, we will not have time to react. ”

Wang Qian: "It's fine. Even if they had walls, they were nothing more than a rabble. The small villages of the Chu people fought with each other, only grabbing territory, not abusing and killing prisoners. So they'll just run away and come back when we're gone. ”

This night, as Wang Jian guessed, there was nothing to do.

After a night, the Qin State Sailors, who had rested and been replenished with supplies, went down the river in the long water vapor of the river.

It wasn't until they got close to the fort that the sentries in the fort saw the ship in the morning mist. The huge warship, which was like a giant beast, broke through the barrier and sailed towards Hubei with an indomitable attitude.

"Enemy attack! The Qin army is attacking! "Even if the sentry shouts through his throat, it can't compare to the speed of the Qin army's warship!

Before they could prepare their sycophants, the Qin army had already approached the city.

Wang Jian laughed and ordered: "Raise our flag!" ”

Two large flags, one on the left and one on the right, hung high on the top of the huge ship. On one side is a black bird, which is the symbol of the Qin State. On one side is a bright red flag, and the golden sickle-like style shines in the sun.

The guards on the walls of the city of Hubei were stunned and stunned, and were flickered by the golden light, and then they squinted their eyes at these strange and huge warships.

"It's the Lieutenant of Bashu! The lieutenant of Bashu sent troops to fight! The guards shouted in all directions.

He was all too familiar with the red flag! The border people of Chu would always describe to them the scene on the other side of the lake.

There are waves of wheat all over the mountains, black smoke like monsters casting spells, shiny salt grains, and impressive red flags!

The nobles of Chu considered it a symbol of rudeness and barbarism, and the sorcerers said that the flag was so bright because it was stained with the blood of the people of other countries.

The border people believe that this is the witchcraft of the Bashu County Lieutenant! If it weren't for witchcraft, how could the Qin people love the county lieutenant so much? If it weren't for witchcraft, how could Bashu be like picking up a cornucopia, getting rich day by day?

In short, the fact that the flag of the Bashu County Lieutenant is a red flag is widely known in the south of Chu State.

The guards didn't know if they were scared or excited at the moment, and finally saw the legendary red flag!

"The lieutenant of Bashu is calling!"

"The Lieutenant of Bashu County is here!"

By the time the city lord ran to the city wall, the city wall was already full of soldiers watching the excitement.

"Where? Where is the lieutenant of Bashu? Is it on the biggest ship? ”

"I guess yes, although this ship looks weird, it looks really magnificent."

"Is she casting a spell? I don't know if it's her or the wizard, who is more powerful? ”

"Do you need to ask? A wizard by sure! ”

The Lord was overwhelmed by the leisurely soldiers, and shouted angrily, "Don't let me get out of my place yet!" Hurry up and close the gates! ”

The soldiers covered their faces and hurried away.

Wang Jian did not rush to land on the beach and seize the city gate that was closing, as the city gate generals imagined.

He took the time to stop the ship and adjust its direction.

The battle strategy of the defender is decent. The walls of Eyi are very thick, and I am not afraid of not being accurate enough, and I rely on trebuchets who try their luck.

Therefore, after he ordered people to close the gate, he prepared hot oil and stones on the city wall to deal with the Qin soldiers who climbed the wall.

Unexpectedly, Qin Bing didn't get off the ship at all.

Because the warship was very close to the city wall of Hubei, if it was an ordinary bow and arrow, the range would not be enough.

But Wang Jian has a repeater in his hand that has been improved by Mo Jiazi!

Wang Jian asked the archers to shoot arrows at the Chu soldiers on the city wall, and at the same time ordered the trebuchet to smash it above the city wall!
