Chapter 254: The Son of Heaven Guards the Country, and the King Dies
Peace.
On the battlefield of Qin and Chu,
At this moment, the smoke of gunfire fills the air.
The land was already muddy with blood, and the smell of blood was in the air.
As far as the eye can see,
Everywhere you look, there are the bones of soldiers.
All kinds of severed limbs and wreckage are scattered in every corner of the battlefield,
Some of the soldiers were covered with arrows, some were pierced by spears, and some had no head but a headless corpse.
Moreover
Not to mention the whole corpse, the body is mixed with a mixture of brains and organs, and it is impossible to identify which country's soldiers are at all.
If you describe the battlefield at this time in four words,
That's it: corpses everywhere!
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
A war down,
I don't know how many dead souls will be added, how many bones will be buried in other places, and how many white-haired people will send black-haired people.
.......
Half a month ago,
With the main army assembled,
The state of Chu, which no longer had much food and grass, took the initiative to attack.
As a result, the Qin army on the opposite side was fortified in a deep ditch and refused to fight.
The Chu army launched several attacks in vain.
In the face of the invulnerable Qin army,
Xiang Yan, the commander of the Chu army, after launching the last general attack to no avail, could only choose to retreat in the face of exhausted grain and grass.
In fact
The war is fought to this extent.
Xiang Yan also knew in his heart that he had already lost this battle.
Or rather,
When Wang Jian sent an army of 600,000 troops and chose to use this kind of yang strategy to fight, it was already doomed to the defeat of the Chu State.
It is said that laymen talk about tactics, and insiders talk about logistics.
When the two countries are equal in level and strength, the war is fought by logistics.
Although the state of Chu is militarily, it is not inferior to the state of Qin.
has the ability to wrestle with Qin Guo.
However, the competition of comprehensive national strength is not limited to military affairs.
There are too many competitions for the entire country's ability to mobilize resources, grain and grass reserves, logistics supplies, and so on.
However, these,
Since the Qin State Shang Yang changed the law,
began to be far ahead of the rest of the world.
It can be said that
After the Shang Dynasty changed the law,
The entire Qin State has become a war machine.
It's for war.
The people of the Qin State either farmed at home and provided food for the war.
Either that or join the army.
Moreover, there is a 20-level military merit title system, which causes the soldiers of the Qin State to fight bravely on the battlefield like tigers and wolves.
.......
After Xiang Yan's attack failed.
As the grain and grass run out,
I had no choice but to start withdrawing from the army.
At this moment,
Wang Jian opened the camp gate and led the army in pursuit.
In the end, the state of Chu suffered a crushing defeat.
When the news came back to the state of Chu,
For the first time, the pretty face of the Empress of Chu State was as cold as ice, and there was a look of panic.
The state of Chu, an army of 550,000, was annihilated!
Fewer than 100,000 people have fled.
The rest of the soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by the Qin army.
A heavy blow of this scale is basically equivalent to sounding the death knell of the Chu State.
"How could it be...... How can this be......"
Looking at the battle report in his hand,
Chu Yuyi, the empress of Chu State, looked a little lost and depressed.
As if he couldn't believe the above facts, Chu Yuyi picked up the battle report and confirmed it repeatedly.
But the four words on it that the whole army was wiped out seemed so dazzling.
"No..... Impossible. ”
"The army of Chu is invincible, when has it suffered such a defeat."
"Fake, this battle report must be fake!"
Although I know in my heart that no matter how much I deceive myself, I can't change the outcome of things.
But doing so seems to bring a little comfort to a broken heart.
Then
A eunuch hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, let Lord Yin ask to see you." ”
Hearing the word Ling Yin,
Chu Yuyi, who had just lost his soul, forcibly cheered up and tried his best to maintain a calm appearance.
Because the first emperor of Chu had no children under his knees,
So Chu Yuyi had to take the throne as a woman.
This thing,
At that time, it was natural to face the opposition of countless ministers of the DPRK and China.
But in the face of the opposite,
Chu Yuyi used his ischemic hand to quickly suppress these objections.
And in order to prevent his ministers from disagreeing,
Over the years,
Chu Yu always maintained a cold posture in front of outsiders, which was used to maintain the majesty of his empress.
It can be said that
Chu Yuyi's indifference is actually a kind of protection for himself.
Right now
Especially when the great army is defeated,
Chu Yuyi clearly knew that he must not show the slightest weakness.
Otherwise
Without the Qin army coming, it is estimated that there will be turmoil within the Chu State first.
Calm your mind.
Then
Ling Yin Sun Shuao slowly walked into the hall.
"Wechen greets Your Majesty."
Chu Yuyi said coldly: "Say, why did you come to find me?" ”
After Uncle Sun got up, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Chu army on the front line has been defeated, and the peace has been lost. ”
"Now in front of the Qin army, Yingdu can be described as a flat horse, and I ask Your Majesty to deal with it as soon as possible."
In Chu Yuyi's eyes, a look of panic flashed.
"I don't know if Ling Yin Ke has a way to deal with it?"
Sun Shuao opened his mouth and responded: "At present, the army of Chu has lost everything, and there is not much logistics grain and grass left, so Weichen suggested that His Majesty should also avoid the edge for the time being and leave Yingdu as soon as possible." ”
"Otherwise....... Once Yingdu is surrounded by the Qin army, it will be impossible to escape at that time! ”
Chu Yuyi shouted angrily: "Bastard! ”
"Yingdu is the thousand-year-old imperial capital of my Chu State, not to mention that Jingshi is the foundation of the country, how can you say that you will abandon it."
It seems that Emperor Chu has long expected such a reaction,
As Ling Yin of the Chu State, he clearly knows what kind of character his empress is.
Take a deep breath,
Sun Shuao continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. ”
"Today's shame, you can return it to Qin a hundred times in the future, and I hope Your Majesty will not be rash."
Chu Yu's face was as cold as frost, and his tone was cold: "Are you trying to let me escape?" ”
"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!"
"I swear to live and die with Yingdu!"
In the face of Chu Yuyi's angry shouting,
Uncle Sun Ao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen only asks one question!" ”
Chu Yuyi said coldly: "You ask!" ”
"Now, how many days does it take for the Qin army to rush from Pingyu to Yingdu?"
"If there is no hindrance, five or six days."
"How many soldiers are there in Yingdu at present?"
"Counting the forbidden army and the city defense army, there are still 50,000."
"How many Qin troops are there?"
"Six hundred thousand."
"How much grain and grass is left in the granary?"
"There's not much left."
Sun Shuao's eyes pointed directly at Chu Yuyi, and there was a hint of questioning in his voice: "If you count the defeated army that has been gathered, and make up enough for 100,000, then dare to ask Your Majesty, what are the chances of winning against the Shang Qin army?" ”
Chu Yuyi gritted his teeth tightly, and his slender and delicate fingers held the handrail tightly, as if he was about to crush the handrail.
The body hidden under the dragon robe was trembling uncontrollably.
In his eyes, there was endless unwillingness.
ultimately
Chu Yu adhered to the gap between his teeth and said a few words: "Less than one percent." ”
After saying that,
Chu Yuyi is like a deflated ball,
Slumped in the seat.
Uncle Sun Ao said in a deep voice: "I hope that Your Majesty, leave Yingdu as soon as possible, and leave the remnants of the counterattack for the Chu State." ”
"Otherwise...... The thousand-year-old foundation of the Chu State will die at the hands of His Majesty. ”
