Chapter 571 Untitled

After dawn, Chai Ming came with news that they had set up an ambush and destroyed the Qin army, more than 100,000 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chai Ming was only 100,000 people, excluding the logistics support personnel, and the more than 90,000 people who participated in the war could easily destroy more than 100,000 people of the Qin army, and Song Xin felt indignant.

However, he only complained in his heart about his bad luck, and he couldn't show it on his face.

This can't all be blamed on him, it was Liu Yong's bad idea to let Wu Yuehou cross the river with the main force from the position he defended, two or three hundred thousand people, no matter how well he was equipped, he didn't dare to touch others.

In fact, Liu Yong asked him to retreat thirty miles, that is, to let the Qin army cross the river, and then burn the river to eliminate part of the Qin army's living forces, and cut off its back road, forcing Wuyue to wait for a decisive battle.

Otherwise, the confrontation across the river will not solve the problem after all.

Wuyue waited for the grain and grass to be burned and robbed, and was urged by Emperor Qin, coupled with the capture of the Marquis of Jinyang, many factors forced him to jump into the fire pit, fight, Bo once, maybe there is hope.

Originally, it was expected that there would not be too many people and horses in Wuyue Hou who could successfully cross the Chen River, but as Wang Yan expected, after the Qin army seized Yuqian Pass, they cut down trees to build a pontoon bridge, and blocked Zhang Yu's army upstream.

Qin Min, the general of the protection army, is also a very famous general of the Qin State, both civil and military, he was afraid that the Xia army would burn the river, and after setting up more than a dozen pontoon bridges, he made a gesture of crossing the river, but he never really crossed the river, so that the Xia army could not judge when they crossed the river, and they could not find the right time to set fire.

But when confronting each other like this, Qin Min sent 100,000 people with strong bows and crossbows up the Shuojiang River, and forced the naval army back for more than 30 miles.

Zhang Yu wanted to burn down the pontoon bridge, but it didn't have much effect, and he would still build it after burning it, after all, there were many trees in the mountains.

In desperation, he sent more than 10,000 sailors ashore, bringing more strong bows and crossbows to prevent the Qin army from crossing the river.

Qin Min didn't build these dozen pontoon bridges to the other side, and he didn't know how many coalition troops there were on the other side.

He was waiting, waiting for Qin Pingchuan, the general of Anxi.

In addition, he also had a plan, that is, to kill Ben Wuling City, but he was not familiar with the terrain there, and the Marquis of Jinyang suffered a big loss there, so he was very cautious this time and sent thousands of scouts to investigate.

In the past, the trees here were dense, and you couldn't find the east, west, north and south when you entered the mountains, but now the low grass and trees that have been burned by the fire are no longer hindered to those elite scouts of the Qin army, and they can go around the pass.

Qin Min was waiting for news from those scouts.

So he was not in a hurry, and more than 200,000 people occupied forty or fifty miles of the north bank of the Chen River, completely blocking the Xia army's naval army.

After the skyrocketing fire appeared downstream, Qin Min was also frightened, he didn't know how the Xia Army's water army passed.

Burning the river is different from setting fire on land, so wide the river, without a navy, it is impossible to set the entire river on fire.

"After this battle, we must find a way to get the ten great families to come forward and ban the use of fire oil. ”

Qin Min had fire oil for the Xia Kingdom, and saw the huge threat of fire oil, so he secretly decided that when he returned to Jianye City, he would definitely write a letter and ask Emperor Qin to come forward to find the ten great families and make an agreement to completely ban the use of fire oil and war, this thing is too terrifying.

First, more than 200,000 people were burned to death by the Marquis of Jinyang, and now the burning of the river does not know how much damage it has caused to the people and horses of Wuyue Hou who cross the river downstream, but it is estimated that it is definitely not less than last time.

It is not an exaggeration for Qin Min to have this kind of thought, after all, the appearance of such a thing as fire oil has completely subverted the war mode on the Xianyue Continent.

This kind of thing is too rebellious, comparable to the destructive power of a half-step legendary master participating in a war.

When a fire fell, hundreds of thousands of horses were reduced to ashes, which really hurt the heavens and the peace.

In fact, Zhang Xian was reluctant to use fire oil, but the Qin army of millions of people came against him, in order to survive, in order to protect himself, to fight the weak against the strong, to outnumbered the enemy, he had to be ruthless.
