Chapter 8 To the East

Singing sounded in the dark night.

That's the voice of home.

On the battlefield, the army is not allowed to sing the songs of the homeland, which is sentimental, reminiscent of the homeland, of the relatives waiting in the distance, and for some sergeants, it may arouse a stronger fighting spirit, but for most sergeants, it can be debilitating.

So this kind of singing often comes from the enemy.

A dead silence enveloped the Chu army camp in Yangshan County, and occasionally some of the outlying civilian camps would hear cries.

It's summer.

The battlefields around Yangsan County began to become a little hot and humid, and some diseases caused by the lack of clean water began to spread, and people died every day due to lack of medicine.

However, for both the Chu army and the Qin army, the most scarce thing was food.

As early as half a month ago, the Chu army had lost supplies in the rear, and the fall of Chu was accompanied by the news that most of the grain and grass transportation routes had been cut off and passed to the border army.

The army of the Great Chu Dynasty did not want to fight a protracted war on the front line, so they soon ran out of food and grass.

In fact, Qin Jun's situation was just as difficult.

Because the Qin army in front has been retreating, it has lost most of its baggage. When a full-scale counterattack began more than ten days ago, the vast majority of the Qin army was extremely short of fighting weapons and food and grass, and they often had to pay a great price for casualties in the face of the Chu army's talismans.

In the past ten days of confrontation, the Qin army still failed to fight back and suffered a lot of defeats.

The Chu army relied on the captured grain and grass and war horses of the Qin army to barely survive.

The problem, however, is that both sides are in different moods.

If in the past, no matter how difficult the Chu army was, as long as the Qin army was not their opponent, they could even pursue it to the depths of the Great Qin Dynasty and continue to fight like this.

However, they are now isolated.

No matter how embarrassed the Qin army was, they all had continuous reinforcements.

This kind of consumption will eventually exhaust all the Chu troops on this border.

One side is annihilating the remnants of the enemy.

One side is struggling in despair.

......

In the dark, Concubine Zhao Xiang didn't sleep, she stood under a banner in front of the tent, listening to the familiar songs in the distance, thinking in her heart, I am afraid that such a voice will not be heard for a long time in the future.

There was the sound of footsteps.

Xiang Yan arrived not far in front of her and bowed.

"Any news from Yan?" she asked as usual.

Xiang Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Emperor Yan sent an army to occupy the thirteen cities between Tianmen Pass and Yan Realm, and the excuse is to help us send troops to stop Qin." ”

"Just as we expected. Concubine Zhao Xiang didn't get angry, but smiled, "It's the same if you change me." If we don't take the opportunity to divide up, will we still be able to send troops to attack Qin? If we don't do it well, we will immediately fall into Qin Qi's flank. It's better to take the opportunity to reap the benefits. ”

Xiang Yan looked at her eyes that were still bright and moving in the night, and continued: "There has been news from Yinshan, the siege of the Nine Dead Silkworms has failed, and Tang Yu has led the remnants to break through Yinshan and defect to the Wu clan. ”

"This is the best news, even if you didn't kill the Nine Dead Silkworms like this, Zheng Sleeve must be even more sleepless than me. Concubine Zhao Xiang shook her head, and there was not much surprise on her face, "It's just that I heard that there are really a lot of dead grandmasters in that place." ”

Xiang Yan smiled bitterly.

He thought to himself that there was more than a lot.

Many unknown, well-known, and many of the Seven Realms Grandmasters who died on that battlefield, as well as the Seven Realms Grandmasters who many people in the world thought were dead, even if they were still far from the Battle of Changling back then, but I am afraid that they had surpassed most of the famous battles recorded in the history books.

"Five out of ten grandmasters in the world have gone, and Qin Chu has gone the most. In the future, there will be many Yan Qi Sect Masters, and this is probably the reason why Daqi accepted the alliance with Zheng Sleeve, and Yan gladly accepted the situation at this time. Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Qin Ziqi is willing to accept the killing game launched by Qin Zi's strength, whether those people in the Bashan Sword Field die or not, for them they are Qin people after all." ”

"Yan Xinran is impossible. Concubine Zhao Xiang said indifferently, "Qi will betray us, and naturally he will betray them, with the jackal on his side, who can sleep in peace." is a good look, but in the future, they will have ghosts, and it will be difficult to get together. It is inevitable that the sword soldiers will meet each other. ”

Xiang Yan sighed.

He is a famous general of Da Chu.

Especially as soon as Li Mu goes, he and Tang Mo are probably the best generals in Dachu, and their vision is naturally unique.

Although Zheng Sleeve's hand hurt himself very badly, and the cultivator advantage of the Great Qin Dynasty in the future may be gone, but because of this, it completely provoked the dispute between Yan and Qi, making it difficult for Yan Qi to join forces.

But that was a distant thing after all, and now it was at hand where their remaining army of 700,000 men was going to go.

These good sons who have lost their homeland and relatives, do they have any other choice but to die here?

What are those people in Bashan Sword Field doing?

As if the heavens heard the indignation and call in his heart, at this moment, a general hurried to him and handed him a secret note.

Xiang Yan quickly opened it, and just glanced at it, and he was a little surprised.

"Lin Boiled Wine let us go east, to Jiaodong County. ”

He took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as he could, looked at Zhao Xiangfei and said, "He said that they will try to control Jiaodong County." ”

Concubine Zhao Xiangfei smiled slightly, seemed to be a little more relaxed, and said, "Then let's go." ”

Xiang Yan was a little hesitant.

Because he is very aware of the difference between some of the words in it, there is a big difference between being able to control and being able to control.

What's more, from Yangshan County to Jiaodong County, you will pass through Nanquan Counties along the way.

Looking at the hesitation in his eyes, Concubine Zhao Xiangfei smiled brighter.

She knew where his hesitation was coming from.

The Nanquan Prefectures were the gathering place of the eastern lords of the Great Chu Dynasty, and those gentry were also the most opposed to her rule, and most importantly, they had many powerful cultivators and private armies. Even after Lilingjun sat on the throne, he launched several conspiracy assassinations against Lilingjun and her.

If you want to go through there to Jiaodong County, it is not realistic in the eyes of any general, and it is easy to be pursued by the Qin army and suffered from the enemy on the back when the front is blocked.

"Before, they thought that I was not enough to be a woman, and they thought that I was a domineering thief, but now I am fleeing with the Chu people, it depends on what kind of attitude they have now. Concubine Zhao Xiang took a deep breath, letting the sense of strength fill her tired body again, and then she continued: "And now besides the Bashan Sword Field, are there any allies who can be trusted by us?"

"Never underestimate the ability of Bashan Sword Field. ”

"Since Lin Zhujiu said that he would try to control Jiaodong County, it was a good choice for us. ”
