The use of interruptions makes the depression of Jing Chou and others incoherent.

weakened the psychological pressure of Jing Chou and others by taking the blame.

In the end, through the head of the head that the baggage was about to be cut off, Xiang Yan finally temporarily dispelled the will of Jing Chou and the others, and focused the attention of all the generals on the Kunyu map.

The tired and haggard Jing Chou asked the key question directly: "All the grain and grass in our department have been burned by the Qin army. ”

"Dare to ask Shangzhu Kingdom, how is the current war situation in your department? How much grain and grass is left? ”

Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Our troops have captured Beijinshu, Fancheng, Lucheng, and Yancheng, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy in the waters of Dengcheng. ”

"Today, more than 6,700 of our officers and men have been killed, and more than 300 warships have been damaged."

"More than 23,200 Qin troops were killed, and more than 640 Qin army warships were destroyed."

"The granaries of Fancheng, the granaries of Beijinshu, Yancheng and Yancheng are all well preserved, and the people of each city are also willing to help our army."

"Without considering the transportation of baggage, our army's grain and grass can be used by our soldiers and horses to chew ......"

After a pause, Xiang Yancai continued: "Half a year. ”

If Jing Chou's department was not damaged, then these grains and grass would only be enough for the Chu army to hold out for two months.

But coincidentally, the entire army of Jing Chou's department was wiped out, and Xiang Yan's department also suffered many losses!

The grain storage does not need to be chewed by 220,000 soldiers and horses, but only needs to supply more than 74,000 soldiers and horses, and the pressure is relieved.

Jing Chou suppressed the self-deprecation in his heart as much as possible, and calmed his voice: "If this is the case, even if our army goes out of the city to fight, as long as it is still active in the Jianghan area, the food stock is enough to support our army for three to four months." ”

"Even if our army's baggage line is cut off, it will not cause unbearable pressure on our army."

"If the Qin army really goes south to the Yangtze River, although our army is stuck in the throat, it still has a chance to breathe."

A respite, this is very important for the Chu army.

Although the baggage line is the place where it must be saved, the purpose of keeping the baggage line open is to obtain food and grass so that victory can be achieved.

Victory is the ultimate goal, not the baggage line!

After pondering for a while, Jing Chou said in a deep voice: "According to the last general's observation, it is very likely that Qin Chang'anjun will continue to move south along the Dahong Mountain and cut off the supply of our army. ”

"And our army now has three strategies to choose from."

"First, sit back and watch the Qin army cut off the rear road of our army, and continue to fight with the Qin army's naval division first, eliminate the combat power of the Qin army above the water, and then go south to open up the baggage line."

"Second, directly turn back to Echeng and use the benefits of the water division to fight with the Qin army on the Yangtze River."

"Third, block the Yangtze River with the benefit of the sailors, and immediately ask the imperial court for help, and cooperate with the reinforcements to flank the Qin army!"

Jingchou's strategies are relatively conservative.

In the case that the main infantry has been lost, the overall strategic planning of Jing Chou is also completely biased towards the sailor.

Xiang Rong suddenly said in a cold voice: "I think that our army has another strategy. ”

"With the advantage of the boat, we will quickly destroy the Qin army's naval division, and then regardless of the baggage, we will drive straight along the waterway, taking advantage of the emptiness inside Qin and the opportunity when the main force is outside, and go straight to Xianyang City!"

"As long as our army breaks through Xianyang City and captures Qin Wangzheng alive, we can't help the Qin army continue to be arrogant!"

Compared with Jing Chou's strategy, Xiang Rong's strategy is extremely aggressive.

Qu Che immediately refuted: "No! ”

"Although the Qin State today has sparse troops, it still has natural dangers and cities to rely on."

"Once our army can't break through Xianyang City before the Qin army returns, our army will be caught in the Qin army's urn and the whole army will be annihilated!"

"And if Qin Chang'anjun did not go south to the Yangtze River, but directly killed Dengcheng, what should our army do!"

Xiang Rong asked rhetorically: "Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, our army has suffered a great defeat. ”

"If we don't have the determination to die and come back to life, how can our army fulfill the king's trust?"

A group of generals spoke one after another, arguing endlessly.

Xiang Yan listened to the dispute between the generals with both ears, but his eyes always fell on the Kunyu map.

Finally, Xiang Yan scolded in a deep voice: "Xiang Duwei, don't be blinded by hatred!" ”

Xiang Rong, who was arguing, was suddenly dumbfounded, and then sighed lightly: "Only! ”

Xiang Yan continued to speak: "The speed of the Qin army's heralds is faster than that of Deputy General Jing and the others, and it is very likely that the Qin army's naval division has received the news of the victory of the main force of the Qin army. ”

"That's why the general intends to accept the one, two, two strategies of the deputy general at the same time."

Jing Chou was stunned.

He came up with this plan.

How could he not know that these two strategies could be used at the same time?

Xiang Yan looked up at the generals and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" ”

"The whole army immediately pulls out the camp, the whole army gets on the boat, and goes down the river!"

"Duwei Qu Che, Dou Zhan, Jing Po, Sun Xing, and Zhaoxiang are the vanguard, and they are rushing at full speed."

"To Fancheng, Duwei Qu Che and the Second Department of Fighting went north to Xiaoqing River, and Duwei Jingpo and Sun Xing's Second Department went east to Shuishui."

"The four troops and horses all went deep into the water, and then looked for a hidden place to ambush the soldiers."

"The commander of Zhaoxiang will continue to serve as a pioneer and open up a way forward."

"The rest of the soldiers and horses, be sure to urge the soldiers one after another, and make a look of impatience and hurry!"

After listening to Xiang Yan's order, the generals finally understood what Xiang Yan wanted.

Fancheng, Cheng is an excellent battlefield to bury the naval army!

All the generals laughed and gave up:

"Yui!"

Xiang Yan continued: "Due to the loss of the general's command, our army suffered a lot of losses in this battle. ”

"Qin Chang'an Jun is not an easy person, and he is not sure that he will win the battle with more than 70,000 troops."

"Please play the king with the general, and ask the clan elder to advise the king, please continue to increase our troops!"

Jing Chou, Qu Ou and other defeated generals should give their hands: "This is what it should be!" ”

Xiang Yan returned the salute: "Thank you!" ”

……

An hour later.

Meng Tian excitedly kept pacing back and forth on the ship.

Cen Bian looked at Meng Tian a little helplessly and said, "Meng Duwei, it's just a big victory for Chang'an Jun's department." ”

"How long have you been excited?"

Meng Tian said excitedly: "It is extremely difficult for our department to resist the Chu army, and the general does not even know if he can complete the task of the commander." ”

"Ben will be more worried about the coach's department encountering many obstacles, even if our department holds on for half a month, we can't wait for the coach to come back."

"However, it only took the coach less than half a month to break through the main force of the Chu army."

"In this way, the pressure on our army has been reduced!"

Let the fledgling Meng Tian and Cen Bian, who has a medium level of water warfare, join forces to block Xiang Yan with weak forces.

Even if Meng Tian and Cen Bian had Deng Cheng to rely on, it was still extremely difficult.

In just a few days of fighting, Meng Tian's department and Cen Bian's department had obviously fallen into the upper hand, with more than one-third of the battle losses!

Now, the victory of Yingcheng's department is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the two!

Cen Bian said calmly: "The commander of our army is Chang'anjun. ”

"Victory is what it should mean."

Lie down well, lie down well.

Just wait for Chang'anjun to lead us to victory.

Meng Tian smiled: "It's true that the general is shallow. ”

While we were talking, a scout hurried in.

"Captain Mondu! Captain Cen Du! After giving his hand, the scout said in a deep voice: "Half an hour ago, the Chu army suddenly began to pull out the camp. ”

"All the Chu soldiers are approaching the riverbank, and some of the soldiers are boarding the boat!"

"Before the return of our troops, more than 100 small wings of the Chu army began to go down the river!"

Meng Tian and Cen Bian glanced at each other and said in unison: "The Chu army has received the news of defeat!" ”

Then another question was asked by the two at the same time:

"Do you want to pursue?"

Looking at the other party's contemplative gaze, Meng Tian smiled and spoke: "If you and I write at the same time, we can take countermeasures." ”

"How?"

Cen Bian smiled happily: "Good! Take pen and ink! ”

Lifting the brush, Meng Tian and Cen Bian splashed ink on the Chang'an paper at the same time, and then stopped writing at the same time.

Seeing the word 'keep' written by the other party, Meng Tian and Cen Bian laughed happily:

"Captain Cen / Captain Mengdu, know me!"

Whether it is Meng Tian's family heirloom or Cen Bian's battlefield experience, they all know very well what it means to lure the enemy into depth.

Although neither Meng Tian nor Cen Bian could be sure whether Xiang Yan was luring the enemy deeper.

However, under the circumstance that Ying Chengcheng's department had already achieved absolute superiority, Meng Tian and Cen Bian were not ready to further improve their subjective initiative, but chose to complete the tasks assigned by Ying Chengcheng.

In other words, they began to lie down and win!

Putting down the brush, Cen Bian said with a smile: "Although this battle did not last long, the intensity was high. ”

"The soldiers have worked hard, and it's time for the soldiers to rest."

Meng Tian nodded in agreement: "But you can't let your guard down." ”

"The guards and scouts that should be there still need to be sent out."

"After all, the people of Deng Chengguo also have their hearts set on the Chu State, and the Chu Shangzhu State is really a fierce general!"

Cen Bian said approvingly: "It should be so!" ”

Seeing the retreat of the Chu army's sailors with great fanfare, and hearing that Ying Chengcheng had completely annihilated the Chu army in Dahong Mountain, the tense heart of the Qin army's sailors finally relaxed.

The soldiers who were still preparing suicide notes for their families yesterday have all changed their smiles today.

What followed was the inevitable relaxation and slackness of the Qin army's sailors.

Two days later.

At 1:00 a.m., the moon is dark and the wind is high.

A division of 300 winglets swung upstream, swaying from side to side in the water.

Although the speed at which the oars drive the winglets is much slower than the oars, the splashes and sounds are also much smaller than the oars.

With the help of vegetation and the cover of night, taking advantage of the negligence of the Qin army, the small wing fleet went all the way to the two miles downstream of the Qin army's water village.

Three hundred sturdy Chu soldiers dressed in short linen clothes jumped into the water in silence with daggers in their mouths, clay pots behind their backs, and bags made of dog stomachs tied around their waists.

The excellent water nature made them not make any sound, and the dark night also contained their jet-black hair color.

At 3:00 a.m., the night gets darker.

A head emerged from within the Qin Army's water village.

This is followed by more and more heads!

Several Chu soldiers glanced at each other, slowly bowed their heads, and then approached the Qin army's boat with more and more cautious movements, and opened the clay pot behind it.

The lard was so full that they had to cut it with a knife, cutting off pieces of grease to make it float on the surface.

"What's that?"

"It's people! Hit the gong! ”

"Bell Bell !!"

The sound of a loud gong suddenly pierced the silence of the night.

The sailors of the Chu army no longer hid, and directly smashed the clay pot at the Qin army's boat.

"Bang~Bang~"

With the sound of crumbling pottery, large balls of lard floated above the water!

Then a group of Chu soldiers hurriedly took off the dog's stomach bag, took out the flint that had not been soaked by the river water from the bag, and beat it hard.

"Archery! Dense Shooting! ”

"When the sailors enter the water, be sure to stop the enemy sailors!"

"Quickly guard the camp and beware of the Chu army's surprise attack!"

The Qin soldiers who had just woken up hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the water, and a large number of Qin troops jumped directly off the boat and swam towards the underwater Chu army.

However, with the unremitting efforts of the three hundred Chu troops, they finally hit some sparks and splashed them on the lard.

Flames, rising!
