Chapter Seventy-Two: Qin People's Blood!
Qin Si was furious and sent envoys to send a letter of state to scold the king of Chu for his treachery, in an attempt to slow down the pace of the coalition army.
He immediately personally led the army to the front line, and at this time, the land deliberately ceded by the Qin State was also taken by the King of Chu, and the arrangement of troops had already been completed.
The 200,000 Qin troops newly recruited by the Qin State in the southwestern mountains of the Chu State have also been ambushed in place, waiting to be tested in actual combat at any time.
"As long as you can delay it for a day, great things can be done!" This is the key point of his conspiracy with Jiang Ming, if the king of Chu is delayed for a day, then the big thing can be decided, but at this time, the king of Chu is clever...
The attention of the Chu State was completely on the 500,000 army in the southeast of the Qin State, and it was completely unaware that the Qin State still had a hidden new army of 200,000. The invincible Chu State was led by Qu Wan, and the people and pawns urgently recruited by the eight countries formed a coalition army called 900,000, in the shape of a sword, and quickly crushed the southeast corner of Kaiyuan City of Qin State with a devastating momentum, in a vain attempt to smash the defense of Qin State with heavy soldiers and sharp blades, and directly took Kaiyuan City, the capital of Qin, and completed its work in one battle.
I have to say that the king of Chu didn't eat enough, and this wishful thinking was also very good, if Qin Guo was a little careless, he would really be forced to open Yuan City.
But the king of Chu forgot one thing.
The State of Qin has repeatedly shown favor to the State of Chu recently, not blindly paralyzing the State of Chu and letting the State of Chu get soft, so that he does not go to take care of the State of Qi. The king of Chu did it, he didn't care whether the Qi country destroyed the country or not, he only thought about how to take advantage of the emptiness in the Qin country to destroy the Qin state, and then rely on the big river to cross the river with the Qin country to rule, each get half of the world, the terrain on the south bank of the river is flush, and the Chen soldiers are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he can be safed for ten thousand years, this is his biggest ideal.
But he forgot that in the southwestern mountainous area where he tried his best to disagree with the birds that did not lay eggs in exchange for the Qin State, just when his army was far away from the hinterland of the Chu State, he actually slaughtered the vast army of 200,000 like a trick and came straight to Yingdu.
The king of Chu was not Qin Si, he panicked directly. Before the messenger could finish speaking, the elbow of sauce in King Chu's hand fell to the ground, and the King of Chu couldn't wipe the oil and water on his face, and roared: "Order Qu Wan to quickly return to the division to rescue Yingdu!" and then fainted directly with half of the meat left in his mouth.
The king of Chu can eat and sleep, and he is dizzy for a day and a night. When he was woken up by a group of ministers, he found that there was still no news of Qu Wan's return to the division, and the king of Chu panicked and ordered the guards to immediately detain Qu Wan's entire family, and issued a royal gold medal to force Qu Wan to return to the division.
The country of Chu was empty, and the southwest land was almost flat in the mountains, and the cavalry of the Qin State was even more day and night, and they had already fought hundreds of miles in two days, and the king of Chu almost fainted again when he heard the news.
Qu Hai is a well-known scud in the Chu State, and he has traveled more than a thousand miles a day with light skills, and he is the fastest person in the Chu army. The king of Chu ordered him to carry two gold medals and arrows to order Qu Wan to return to the division urgently, but when he arrived, he was directly detained by Qu Wan in the army.
Qu Wan is also a temperamental person, although he has learned that his relatives have been detained, but he is loyal to the Chu State, and now the class teacher is unwilling to return to the court, and he sees that Kaiyuan City is in front of him.
He wants to gamble, if he captures Kaiyuan City first, the Qin State will destroy itself.
Because he believed that no matter how fast the Qin army was, it would be at least two days short of him, and after he captured Kaiyuan City, it would be too late to order the rear army to return immediately to intercept the Qin army in one day. When the time comes, it is even expected to gather and annihilate the 200,000 new troops of the Qin State.
Qu Wan had fought all his life, and he was quite confident in the time difference he had calculated.
Success or failure in this move, Qu Wan led the army to storm for one day, and the second day when the sky was just dawning, there were scouts from the front army to report, this place is only thirty miles away from Kaiyuan City.
Qu Wan's confidence doubled and he ordered the whole army to advance at full speed. The slogan was shouted: Destroy Qin in one day!
At this time, Qin Si had just returned from the southeast front, and the southwest border was also full of the Eight-Nation Alliance at this time, where the two armies were of equal strength and were in a state of confrontation, and he could not transfer back a single soldier and a single soldier.
And Qu Wan's vanguard army of 200,000 was too fast, and at this time it had penetrated deep into the territory of Qin State and approached Kaiyuan City. There was no time for him to mobilize troops to rescue.
Qin Si stood on top of the east gate tower of Kaiyuan City, looking at the banner of the coalition army thirty miles away, and panicked for the first time in his heart.
At this time, the 100,000 people and 20,000 defenders of the city were digging ditches outside the city, trying to stop the coalition army for a while. Even the princes and nobles, young and old, had already gone into battle in person, Qin Si retracted his gaze, and when he saw that 100,000 subjects were so united in hatred, the imperial spirit and unyielding will in his heart seemed to be burning.
"I, the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State, are united today, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians are united in hatred of the enemy.
An hour later, the coalition forces descended on the city.
More than 20,000 people who had no time to retreat were killed directly outside the city by the flying arrows of the coalition army.
Qin Si looked at the tragic situation under the city, and the corpses were stacked. His eyes were torn apart, and he stood motionless on the tower, the anger in his heart burning, and his heart gradually calmed down as the rain of arrows whistled by.
Countless flying stones smashed into the city tower, and the fierce fire oil carried ignited the city wall piece by piece. Qin Si clenched his fists tightly, his fingers digging into the flesh, blood dripping on the green bricks under his feet, splashing dazzling red flowers.
Suddenly, a Chu soldier climbed the city tower with his cultivation as the first, and Qin Si quickly pulled out the long sword in his hand and cut off his head with a sword. The hot blood fascinated his eyes, and he remembered his own words: "When my Qin sword is unsheathed, I will drink the blood of the enemy!"
Qin Si roared, the yuan power in his body was rolling and flowing, he held the sword in both hands, and slashed back and forth with the soldiers and civilians defending the city, and beheaded the allied soldiers who climbed up one by one under the sword. The corpses under their feet were piled up layer by layer, but the siege soldiers seemed to be endless.
Blood stained his sword, his face, and his shirt. Drops of red viscous liquid dripped from the ends of his scattered hair, and each slashed enemy's head brought a large patch of blood, and Qin Si's whole body flowed like a stream...
His vision began to blur, but the sword in his hand became even sharper. Is this the case in this life? The dream of the emperor is shattered?
He didn't regret it at all, his sword was screaming, his heart was calling, the galloping Yuan Force and the city wall under his feet, tens of millions of people, were his last reliance!
"Jiang Ming, you kid have to be fast!" his consciousness began to scatter, but he slowly muttered to himself.
Under the city.
Qu Wan was anxious.
Kaiyuan City couldn't be attacked for a long time, which made the big stone that weighed on his heart heavier and heavier.
He didn't expect that the old Qin people in Kaiyuan City would be so brave and fierce, and the hoes and rakes in their hands were even sharper than the Changge in the hands of the coalition soldiers. Even the place where they fell became a valley, a mountain beam, and the coalition army paid the price of blood for every step forward.
The most terrible thing is their will, one wave falls, one wave stands up, without fear, the more they die, the more courageous they become, as if endless.
