Plans are not as fast as changes.

When Li Si and other envoys returned to various countries to report the results of the mission, and Jia Xu and others planned the plan of the southern expedition to the north, Dayu's western front had already achieved major results.

The commanders of the Southern County and Wu County of the Qin State were not as strategic as the Gonggong Zhugongs in the center of the Qin State.

The county guard of Nanjun directly ordered the county commanders and county lieutenants to come to the rescue of Yingdu.

The reason is very simple, Yingdu is not only an important town that controls the middle reaches of the Great River, but also the county governor of Nanjun, and the main officials such as the county guard, the supervisor of the imperial history, the county lieutenant, and the county Cheng are all in Yingdu!

The ass decides the head.

As long as they hold the Yingdu and hold on until the arrival of the main force of Great Qin, then even if other places are lost, they will be meritorious; On the contrary, if Yingdu is lost, then even if they can survive, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the crime.

In this case, Xiling (Yiling), of course, also had to send troops.

Soon after the few main forces of Xiling left the city, Gan Ning's department conveniently maneuvered to the vicinity of Xiling with the advantage of the water army, and launched a sneak attack on Xiling at night.

After the capture of Xiling, Gan Ning's department did not stop, with the cooperation of Zhou Tai's navy, using the east wind borrowed by Zhuge Liang, once again upstream, with the help of sharks and water army finless porpoises, etc., safely crossed Xiling Gorge, entered Wuxia, and marched to Wuxian County of Qin.

The defenders of Wuxian County were shocked.

Since Bai Qi won the battle of Yanying, Wujun has actually become the rear of the Qin State, not to say how the armament is wasted, but there are really not many soldiers and horses, and this time Dayu transported 100,000 people.

Wujun doesn't have so many military formations, and there are no generals who can form a military formation casually, in this case, even if Gan Ning only leads 100,000 space soldiers, it is very threatening.

The defenders of Wuxian County made the same choice as the defenders of Yingdu, asking for reinforcements from various county towns and sending a letter of request for help to Ba County.

The surrounding counties were naturally only able to gather troops to come to the rescue of Wu County.

Then, it was tragically surrounded by Gan Ning and sent reinforcements, and finally surrounded Wuxian, which became an isolated city

When Gan Ning attacked Wu County, Zhang Ren's department, which was the best at ambushing the Dayu army, and Wang Ping's department, who was good at mountain warfare and commanded the Wudang Fei Army, also marched to Qutang Gorge and set up camp with the support of the naval army.

The location of the camp corresponds to the location of the White Emperor City in later generations.

It is located on the north bank of the big river at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, on the Baidi Mountain, looking at Kuimen in the east, facing each other across the river from Baiyan Mountain in the south, facing the pass in the west, leaning on Jigong Mountain in the north, and is located at the entrance of the west end of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

At this time, there was only one small fishing village.

However, because of the relationship between the world map, Jiangxin Island is also larger, and it is completely possible to build a military fortress independently.

After occupying this place, Jia Kui, who was good at building cities, and Huo Du and Huo Jun, who were good at defense, immediately took action and commanded the army to build city defenses and water villages.

The Dayu army planned to build two walled cities here to guard the Qin army's road out of Bashu.

Zhang Ren, who was quite enterprising, also tried to attack the pass.

However, because of the characteristics of the military important place, it was already an important pass of Chu when Chu and Bashu were at war, and at this time, it was not like many counties under the direct jurisdiction of the county guard, and the terrain was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhang Ren could only give up in the end.

But in any case, after occupying the White Emperor City, the connection between Wujun and Bashu was completely cut off, and the soldiers of Bashu of the Qin army wanted to go east, and they would also face huge challenges.

The main force of the Qin army has just been assembled and has not yet been out of the pass, and the decisive battle of Yingdu is far from being officially launched, so the Dayu army has made a big maneuver with the advantage of the water army, which not only locked Wujun to death, but also directly cut off the possibility of the Qin army going out of Bashu to support Yingdu.

This operation is obviously different from Dayu's previous strategic concept, but Dayu is not the emperor of the Zhao family, and he has to give the front-line generals a map before the war begins, and the front-line generals of the Dayu army have absolute autonomy.

This strategy was jointly formulated by Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Liang and Gao Shun after discussion, combined with reality.

In the process of fighting with the Qin army and the barbarians of Qianzhong County, Zhuge Liang discovered the fact that the space soldiers of the Dayu Army could not even defeat the military formation of the first-level garrison of the Qin Army.

Although Qianzhong County is considered a border area, the border garrison is naturally stronger than ordinary county soldiers, and even some of them are the central army, but the space soldiers also have the bonus of generals, and they can't be beaten head-on, which is very revealing.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's suggestion is to make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, that is, to give full play to the strong advantages of the Dayu army and the navy, and not to fight head-on if they can not fight head-on.

Xi Zhicai obviously also has this idea, and Xi Zhicai likes to use strange tricks, while Zhuge Liang is very strategic, both of them feel that the best way for Yingdu is to besiege but not attack, make a long-term siege and besiege the city to build embankments to divert water and irrigate the city, and at the same time dig deep camps in a favorable position outside Yingdu, clear the wilderness, and wait for the Qin army to attack.

Since the Qin army is strong in the field, and our army's military formation is not perfect, then defend first, and at the same time develop the jungle, and then fight with the Qin army in the field after the development is good.

Siege warfare is the most difficult to play the role of an army formation, and it is also the easiest to wear down the enemy's army.

However, as long as the Qin army wants to rescue Yingdu, it can only attack strongly, otherwise Dayu can slowly consume the defenders of Yingdu.

This is a conspiracy, and for Dayu, the biggest problem supporting this strategy is the consumption of grain and grass.

In order to alleviate the pressure on grain and grass, Dayu had to send all the auxiliary troops to Jingnan to Tuntian, and this year he was able to harvest another season.

In addition, the persuasion of the southern barbarians was also very smooth, although Dong Huang did not take action personally, but Queen Zhurong, Zhuge Liang, Shamoke, Wutu Bone, Mulu King, E Huan and others had too high affinity for the barbarians, especially Shamoke, who was like a fish in water among the barbarians in Qianzhong County.

The barbarians of Qianzhong County are actually the Wuxi barbarians of Shamoke in the later generations, and they can barely be regarded as the ancestors of Shamoke.

Although the world is different, everyone is a barbarian, and the customs and language are basically the same.

Everyone once again boasted about Dong Huang's goodness, Zhuge Liang, Queen Zhurong, King Mulu and others pretended to be gods and ghosts again, the barbarians originally believed this, and when they saw that the strong people who had subdued all the tribal challengers like this vulture bone were convinced by Dong Huang, they naturally became more convinced.

Now these barbarians are also ready to provide soldiers, if it weren't for the lack of food and grass, Dayu would immediately be able to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops.

At this time, the Dayu army could only reluctantly accept 50,000 barbarian elites and tens of thousands of barbarian girls.

The elite of the barbarians entered the various barbarian legions and Zhuge Liang's Wudang Flying Army, and a few barbarian kings directly joined and could lead the army independently; The barbarian girl originally wanted to be sent to the palace in accordance with the "Law of Filial Piety and Straight Evaluation of the Southern Barbarians", but she was cut off by Queen Zhurong.

Although the barbarian army did not dare to ask for more, the Dayu army had a lot of money, exquisite gold and silver products, gold bars, ingots and various pearls, tortoiseshells, corals and other pearls from the East China Sea were generously given to the tribes, so that the nobles of the tribes were grateful to Dade.

At the same time, the Dayu army also purchased meat from various tribes fairly, which not only greatly satisfied the meat needs of the Dayu army, but also won the favor of the barbarians and further established trust.

The Dayu army also invited various tribes to send people to the holy land of Haojing to meet the great Emperor of the Dayu Empire, His Majesty the Father of the Japanese Slaves, Father of Goryeo, King of the Southern Barbarians, and Tian Khan, and promised not to harm the interests of the allied barbarians.

In short, the situation in Jingnan is very good. Now the barbarians in Wuxi and Xiangshui are basically calm, and they are dealing with the barbarians further south.

All in all, the rear is stable, the auxiliary army and the various captured cities are also stepping up farming, and with the support of Jiangdong, the Western Front Army will be able to keep up with the Qin army in a year or two.

Since the problem in Yingdu is not very big, it is time to consider how to expand the results of the battle.

In addition to Yingdu, the other northern cities in Nanjun are not easy to fight, mainly because the Dayu army does not have absolute confidence to defeat the Qin army head-on in the field battle, and if it cannot annihilate the living force of the Qin army in large numbers, it will not be able to hold it down. In this case, the only target that can be attacked is Bashu.

Zhuge Liang and Xi Zhicai made a plan to seize Wujun, and asked sharks, finless porpoises, etc. to investigate the hydrological situation, and finally made a final decision.

Although Wu County has not been taken yet, in fact, Wu County has become a turtle in an urn, and it is only a matter of time before it is taken by Gan Ning.

At this point, on the map, Dayu's territory is basically a long snake formation along the river, which is actually a very dangerous layout, but because of Dayu's absolute naval superiority, Dayu can calmly ensure the safety of the long snake.

And now the place that poses the greatest threat to the long snake is Yingdu.

Da Yu's actions made Da Qin extremely angry.

The loss of two counties in a row is an unprecedented loss since the founding of Great Qin, but these two places are beyond the reach of the Great Qin whip, and Qianzhong County is basically hopeless, but Wu County must be rescued.

As a result, Meng Wu was required to enter Bashu as soon as possible, prepare an army in Ba (Chongqing), and recapture Wujun as soon as possible.

Wang Yi and Duke Qi were also asked to send troops quickly.

There are a total of 300,000 troops in Wang Ji and the Gong Gong Office, including 50,000 Rui soldiers, and a Gong loser's organ beast army. The auxiliaries numbered in the millions.

Qin Zhirui was the strongest elite soldier of the countries in the Warring States Period, and this time the Qin State also made a bloody investment.

It is worth mentioning that most of these auxiliaries were soldiers of the Qin State War Agent.

The war agent of the Qin State poured blood mold.

Most of the war agents in other countries can become small feudal monarchs or something, and they are quite autonomous, and they can fight with their own soldiers and horses, but the Qin State does not allow the feudal monarch to have a large number of his own soldiers and horses, nor will he let the feudal monarch lead his own troops to become the formed unit of the Qin army, and what is even worse is that if the Qin State wants to send troops, which people will be directly required to serve in the military.

Most of these war agents had knighthoods, and as a result, most of the war agents who did not find enough strong backers were forcibly recruited to become grassroots officers of the Qin army, often the kind of officers who could not defeat their subordinates.

This means that once a war occurs, these war agents who have been powerful and high-ranking officials before must charge into battle like ordinary grassroots officers of the Qin army, and there is no protection of their own generals and soldiers, and the danger will increase dramatically.

However, there must be gains if there are losses, because these people are incorporated into the regular army, so they can comprehensively and systematically study the grassroots military formation of the Qin army, although starting from the most basic unit of the army, but this kind of systematic learning opportunity is rare.

There is no doubt that if you can be promoted after making military achievements in the future, you can even comprehensively and systematically learn the combination of higher-level military formations.

The clever war agent immediately tried every means to let his generals and natural person soldiers join the regular army of Qin, even if they were all scattered, they did not hesitate; Their space soldiers were also sent to the auxiliaries as much as possible.

The wiser agents of war evaded conscription by cutting off their own hands and feet before the conscription came, forming a disability, and then sending their own men into the army.

The smartest became the protégés of ministers and generals, and also sent their subordinates into the army.

All in all, because of the special system of the Qin State, it not only "digested" the army of the war agents to a certain extent, but also stimulated the fighting spirit of the war agents to the greatest extent.

Because theoretically speaking, as long as you make enough contributions, even the military formation of Qin Zhirui can learn how to do it.

Just imagine, even if the Qin State only has 10,000 war agents and only sends 5,000 generals into the Qin army, it will also add 5,000 talents to the Qin State who can command at least a few thousand men.

What's more, there are only a lot of people who have joined, if you add the reality that there can be only one general under the command of the war agent and the war representative, the Qin State has at least thirty or fifty thousand more generals with a good military command level to join, these people are not only not able to form a military formation, and the strength realm is not particularly strong, whether it is the command level, strategic vision, and fighting skills are very good.

Coupled with the large number of seventh- and eighth-order soldiers and natural persons accumulated by various war agents, as well as the emergence of tens of thousands of war agent cities, it is conceivable that the Qin state has been strengthened.

Compared with the Qin State, the use of the war agent by the Chu State and the Yan State can be called child's play, the Yan State is directly turning against each other, and the Chu State is making the war agent a small prince.

The minor princes seem to have real power compared to the war agents of the Qin State, but they are also less likely to be able to learn a strong military formation.

Compared with the two, it is difficult to say which is better or worse.

However, being able to systematically study military formations is definitely a dream of war practitioners.

The generals who joined the Qin State as the war agents, if they could fight all the way to Qin Shihuang to complete the unification, then I am afraid they would all be able to become intermediate or even high-level generals, and even learn Qin Ruishi's military formation, how powerful it would be at that time, you can imagine.

And this path may be the most orthodox way out arranged by space for the war agents.

In fact, this mission space is mainly for training.

At this stage, the war agent has not yet reached the level of competing with the natives, and close cooperation with the natives is the best way out.

Daqin, who can maximize the potential of the war agent, is absolutely terrifying. Because their auxiliaries are actually not much different from Dong Huang's army's space troops, in other words, the auxiliaries of Wang Yu's department can correspond to the main force of the Dayu army. And the 150,000 military formations under Gao Shun's department that have achieved initial results cannot defeat the 300,000 elite Qin army, including 50,000 sharp soldiers.

This time, Zhuge Liang and they stabilized a wave, and they were really stable.

When the Great Qin army finally entered Nanyang County out of Wuguan and sent a partial division to march in the direction of Chu Fangcheng, Chu finally reached an agreement with Korea, and Chu gave 15 cities around Chendu and Chu Fangcheng, as well as hundreds of small towns and military strongholds.

The reason is that Wei, Korea, and Qi really sent troops.

The South Korean soldiers pointed directly at Chen Du; The state of Qi again launched an attack on Li Yuan's army, intending to seize all of Huaibei, and Wei Wushu defeated the border guards of the state of Chu, and the front of the army was directed towards Juyang, the new capital of the state of Chu.

Can the Juyang that the king poured out of the nest be able to stop Wei Wushu?

The answer is no!

The king of Chu didn't care about exterminating the remnants of Chun Shenjun, so he could only choose to lead the elite to cross the Huaishui again and rescue Juyang.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Qin State from falsely attacking the country, and also to maximize the collection of troops and stabilize the basic market, the king of Chu could only choose to believe in the sincerity of the king of Han and reached a deal with Korea.

On October 3, the Korean general "Ji Wuye" accepted the only remaining fortifications on the western front of the Chu State and deployed them on the spot in the city of Chufang; In the same month, the Korean general "Bai Yifei" entered Yingdu and supported some of the grain and grass weapons of the Chu army.

On October 5, Qin pretended not to recognize the Korean flag on Chu Fangcheng, and attacked Chu Fangcheng, which was then repelled by Dian Wei.

The generals of the Qin army were furious, but they were forcefully pushed back by Dian Wei relying on the fortifications.

The Qin army considered that it could not fight on three fronts, so it suffered this dumb loss and continued to go south, and at this time, the main force of the Qin army going south received the news that the Chu State wanted to send it to Jingling.

Wang Yi thought that this must be the final result of the negotiations between Li Si and the Chu State, so he sent Duke Qi to lead 10,000 Rui soldiers and 40,000 regular troops to take Jingling in a hurry. He also sent the junior general Yang Duanhe to lead 20,000 regular troops and 100,000 auxiliary troops as backup to assist Duke Qi to capture the Jianghan Plain.

Those who are actually mausoleums, the mausoleums are also unexpected, that is, the mountains and mausoleums are terminated here.

This place reaches Dahong Mountain in the north, borders the Han River in the south, faces the river in the back, guards the Jianghan Plain and the mouth of the Han River, and controls this place, so that the Dayu Naval Army will not dare to go north along the Han River, so as to further ensure the safety of the Han River valley of the Qin State and ensure the grain route of millions of troops.

However, what Wang Yu didn't know was that the Da Yu army learned that the Chu army had retreated even earlier than the Chu State, and Cheng Yu had already informed him of the agreement he had reached with Han Wang'an and the Chu State.

The Dayu army also made preparations early.

When the army crossed the Han River, the Dayu army attacked halfway, and the naval armies of Jiang Qin, Han Shizhong, and Sancai penetrated into the river, easily crushing the small number of escort naval forces of the Qin army, cutting off the pontoon bridges along the river, and dividing the unprepared Qin army into two parts.

More than 40,000 people were divided on the east bank of the Han River, while most of the baggage of the Qin army was isolated on the west bank of the Han River

"Formation, formation!"

I didn't think about how the Dayu Water Army could have appeared here just right, and the first reaction of Duke Qi was to command the army to form a formation to defend against the enemy.

However, the Qin army had not yet formed an effective formation, and Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, Niu Gao, Yue Yun, Gao Chong, Zhang Xian and others led 30,000 Beiwei troops and 50,000 cavalry had already rushed over.

"Cavalry charge?"

Qi Gong sneered.

This semi-overhead world originally had stirrups, even if it didn't, so many war agents came for three years, and they forced out the stirrups, and Zhao Guo's Hufu cavalry shooting was also famous, and the Qin army was no stranger to cavalry, and even realized that the other party might shoot a wave.

But this kind of shooting was just a drizzle in front of the heavily armored army formation of the Qin State.

The Duke is not afraid at all.

But the next performance of the Dayu Army directly defeated the Qin Army.

The Dayu army did not directly rush into the Qin army's military formation, but took out Zhuge crossbows and various strong bows and crossbows one after another.

As we all know, Zhuge crossbowmen are not precious, what is precious is the Zhuge crossbow and crossbow arrows produced by space.

The fifth-order Zhuge crossbowmen will need ten war points for ten arrows in one box, and the eighth-order Zhuge crossbowmen will reach one hundred and twenty war points for ten arrows in one box, and one hundred and twenty war points will be required for one hundred and twenty thousand crossbows at a time.

It's definitely burning money.

If it was the Dayu army during the Battle of Jiangdu, it might consider the issue of cost performance, because the Zhuge Repeater did not perform well in that battle, and even a little disappointing. But now that Zhuge Liang has been retrained and upgraded after he has risen to the peak of the first order of mythology, the Zhuge Repeater and the Zhuge Repeater are not the same.

The Dayu army now has a total of 30,000 Zhuge crossbowmen, and this time it brought out 10,000.

The remaining soldiers and horses carry the Zhuge Repeater crossbow, because of the upgrading of the world and the progress of materials, the imitation Zhuge Repeater also has the power of the genuine Zhuge Repeater, which is also considerable.

10,000 genuine Zhuge repeaters, 20,000 pirated Zhuge repeaters and other crossbows, a round of salvo is 350,000 arrows, and they are all armor-piercing heavy arrows, some shoot flat and some are thrown, directly forming a fire coverage, even if the Qin army is in the military formation, the power of the military formation is maximized to the maximum, and many are protected by shields, but it also brings five or six thousand casualties to the Qin army.

However, the counterattack of the Qin army also arrived quickly.

Since Bai Qi defeated the Korean crossbow army array, the Qin army has cracked the secret of the bow and crossbow army array, and now the bow and crossbow of the Qin State is strong, crowning the Seven Kingdoms.

Qin's counterattack also caused three or four thousand casualties to the Dayu army.

But Yue Fei was not surprised, because the Qin army had already exposed the location of their crossbowmen, and next, all the archers of Dong Huang's army were concentrated in that position, which immediately caused huge casualties to the crossbowmen of the Qin State.

"Cavalry, rush over and drive away the Yu army! The infantry phalanx followed, the crossbowmen covered at all costs, the chariots, hurry up and assemble! ”

The Duke gave a cold order.

He knew what it meant for a small number of cavalry to go out at this time, but for the sake of today, only by quickly assembling the car formation could there be a glimmer of life.

The more than 3,000 cavalry of the Qin army immediately received the order to attack, and Yue Fei, who knew the weakness of the army, of course would not fight head-on with the cavalry of the Qin army, but commanded the Zhuge crossbowmen to fire a volley at the cavalry.

After two volleys, the Qin army's 3,000 cavalry suddenly collapsed, but the remaining crossbowmen of the Qin army also caused certain losses to Yue Fei's department, and the Qin crossbowmen who once again exposed their positions also suffered a catastrophe.

"Retreat!"

After making up another wave of arrows, Yue Fei ordered the whole army to retreat.

"No more rushes? I don't think that's the case with Qin Jun. ”

General Yang Zaixing was a little eager to try.

"I see what the enemy seems to be preparing, it may be that there is a backhand, don't worry, anyway, the enemy army is a group of remnants without supplies, and they can't cross the Han River, their only escape route is to go north to Yan (Yicheng, Hubei), and we have been prepared along the way."

Yue Fei said confidently.
