General Qin

Huaiyin.

A city located to the south of the Huai River, the ancient name of the north of the mountain and the south of the river is Yin, so this place is called Huaiyin.

This place belonged to Dongyi and Huaiyi in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and later belonged to Wu State. Then when Goujian destroyed Wu, Huaiyin became the territory of Yue State again, and it went all the way, and finally when Chu State broke through Yue, Huaiyin finally became the land of Chu.

And since Xiong Qi, a descendant of King Chu, became King of Chu in Huaiyin, this city has become the new capital of "Chu Kingdom" in a sense.

There are even natives of Huaiyin who secretly call the city "Huaiying" and are quite proud of it.

Unexpectedly, little Huaiyin would one day become the capital of a country.

However, now this temporary capital of Chu State is in a state of panic.

"Qin Jun is here!"

"Your Majesty is at war with the Qin army that came across the Huai River from the east, and the number of soldiers returning to Huaiyin is no more than 10,000. I heard that the Qin army that came this time is tens of thousands. Can you defend with such a disparity in strength? "

"Why didn't Ling Yin come back with his troops! If Huaiyin is lost, wouldn't the Chu Kingdom fall again?"

...

When the Qin army detoured from Dongyang, avoiding the good defense line of the Chu army, and approaching Huaiyin, the whole Huaiyin city was panicked. Even before the Qin army arrived, many people took advantage of the chaos and fled the city. The surrounding mountains and villages rushed to find a way out.

In this chaotic situation, the black Qin Banner finally appeared in the southwest of Huaiyin City.

"General, according to the account of the Chu people captured by our army's scouts, General Feng Wuze had crossed the Huaihe River in the east of Huaiyin a few days ago. When the false king Xiong Qi learned about it, he immediately led his troops to intercept it. Now the two armies are fighting fiercely."

"After hearing the news that our army was approaching Huaiyin, the false king Xiong Qi ordered Chu General Cai Niao to lead 10,000 Chu troops back to Huaiyin, intending to rely on this city to block our advance."

Su Jiao, who was in charge of the investigation, reported the military situation to Zhao Tuo and the generals with a serious expression.

"Um."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

There were 30,000 Chu troops in Huaiyin, and Xiong Qizi led 20,000 to fight Feng Wuze's troops. At the same time, he sent 10,000 back to Huaiyin to stop Zhao Tuo.

If Zhao Tuo could defeat the 10,000 Chu army first, he could attack Xiong Qi's army from behind and attack Feng Wuze's troops back and forth. In this way, the Chu army would be defeated.

But if Xiong Qi defeats Feng Wuze's troops first, he can lead his army back to join the ten thousand Chu troops and jointly attack Zhao Tuo's troops. At that time, without Feng Wuze's support, whoever will win the Qin and Chu armies It's hard to say who is responsible.

Therefore, judging from the current situation in Huaiyin, the outcome of the battlefield will be biased towards whoever breaks through the obstacles in front of him first.

"The Chu army is doomed. It is a mistake for the 10,000 Chu army to return to Huaiyin. The general only needs to send 10,000 people to garrison outside the city, surround and not attack, and then the 10,000 Chu army in Huaiyin can be blocked in the city. At that time, the general Then lead the elite to directly attack the traitor Xiong Qi, and we will win this battle."

Zhao Guang spoke in a deep voice.

All the generals nodded in agreement, saying that the generals of Chu in Daocheng had no military skills.

"The generals of Jingchu will kill themselves if they are defeated, so there are fewer and fewer good fighters. If Zhaoping, Xiangqu and others commit suicide and apologize after not being defeated, our army will not be able to reach here smoothly."

Zhao Tuo sighed and shook his head, now that General Chu on the opposite side made a mistake and only focused on shrinking his troops to defend the city so that he could kill Xiong Qi smoothly, this victory is already in sight.

However, Zhao Tuo always had a kind of worry in his heart. This kind of worry did not appear out of nowhere, but came from his fear of Xiang Yan's tens of thousands of Chu troops.

With Xiang Yan's sophistication, wouldn't he know that after Jing Tong's surprise attack failed, Huaiyin would be in danger?

Under such circumstances, how could he, Xiang Yan, have no action? The biggest possibility is to block Wang Jian's main force while sending troops to support Huaiyin and attack Zhao Tuo's party.

Seeing his general's worried face, all the generals expressed their relief.

Heihou immediately shouted: "General, don't worry. The general is now attacking Shandao, and the Chu army wants to defend that place. Even if they send troops, there will not be many people."

Zhang He also followed suit: "Yes, besides, our army is full of rangers on the road. If the Chu army really came, the cavalry along the way will definitely come to report. We haven't received any news yet. If we want to come, the Chu army is still far away from us. ..."

"General! The cavalry rushed to report, and found a large number of Chu troops!"

Xi Qigu, who was in charge of the affairs of the camp, strode into the tent and said anxiously: "Look at the Chu army's flag, it's the flag of Chu State Commander Yin. Xiang Yan personally leads the troops to attack our army, and now it's only two days away!"

Hearing this, the generals looked astonished.

Not only because the Chu army really came, but also because Xiang Yan personally led the army. Isn't this guy kind?

As soon as Xiang Yan withdrew, Wang Jian could easily capture Shandao City with his superior force, and the main force of the Qin army could go straight to Huaiyin along the Shandao. Without the natural danger of water, how could the Chu army compete with Wang Jian?

However, compared to the changes in the situation in the good way, Zhao Tuo's side has become more dangerous. After Xiang Yan abandoned the good way, his main force had at least 30,000 to 40,000 people, plus the number of people in Huaiyin and Xiong Qi's hands, once they arrived, it would be enough to wipe out Zhao Tuo's army here.

Zhao Tuo calmed down, he would still be worried if the Chu army did not show up, but when Xiang Yan appeared with the main force of the Chu army, he was not so worried.

The situation in front of him made Zhao Tuo think of a word.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.

Now, Xiong Qi is that dew-drinking cicada, entangled with Feng Wuze, this drop of dew.

He, Zhao Tuo, is the praying mantis in the rear, going forward to hunt down Xiong Qi, the cicada.

Behind Zhao Tuo, Xiang Yan, an oriole, appeared again, flying down to eat Zhao Tuo, a praying mantis.

"I think the general is the last goshawk."

Zhao Tuo smiled lightly, and the current situation is completely clear.

"One thing catches one thing, one army defeats one army."

"It depends on who swallows the food, and the speed of eating the enemy is faster."

Zhao Tuo's eyes froze suddenly, and he began to issue military orders to the generals.

"We have 40,000 troops, 10,000 of Shejian's troops and all the auxiliary soldiers stay here to block the 10,000 Chu troops in Huaiyin, and...resist Xiang Yan's army!"

"Involving an indirect order."

Shejian stood up and spoke in a deep voice, his face was very calm, and there was even a hint of a smile in the corner of his eyes.

He felt the general's affection.

10,000 soldiers plus 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, resisting the Huaiyin Chu army and Xiang Yan's main force, this task can be said to be close to death, but it is very important.

This task was entrusted to She Jian only because he is the person Zhao Tuo trusts the most!

Seeing the indirect order from Shejian, Zhao Tuo's expression was slightly relieved, and he continued to order: "Meng Tian and Zhao Guang are the two main forces, follow me to attack Xiong Qi! Our army defeated Xiong Qi, and then turned back to support Colonel Shejian. Let's fight!"

"only!"

Meng Tian and Zhao Guang immediately accepted the order and agreed.

Zhao Tuo thought of another thing, and said, "By the way, since we've arrived in Huaiyin, we don't need to fight for the banner of General Qiang Li. Show off my general banner, Zhao Tuo, and give Xiong Qi a little surprise."

...

On the banks of the Huai River.

Amidst the sound of war drums, the red tide kept rushing forward, attacking the camps flying the black flags.

"This Feng Wuze is really difficult."

Standing in the camp, King Qi of Chu sighed softly as he watched the Chu army launching an offensive in the distance.

After knowing that Feng Wuze led his army to sneak across the Huai River, he immediately led his army to attack and kill him, intending to destroy them quickly.

But I didn't expect that Feng Wuze also inherited Wang Jian's tortoise attributes. After crossing the Huaihe River, he immediately set up a camp and built a fortress. luggage.

Although the Chu army was brave, under Feng Wuze's full defense, it was difficult to break through the Qin camp for a while.

Especially at this time, news came from Dongyang that Qin General Qiang Yan led his army straight to Huaiyin.

With Feng Wuze camping in the east and Qiang frightened attacking in the west, Huaiyin is in danger!

Under such circumstances, Chu Wangqi ordered people to ask Ling Yin Xiangyan for help, and at the same time sent 10,000 people to stop the Qin army.

He dared not lead his army back to Huaiyin.

Chu Wangqi knew very well, don't look at Feng Wuze who is sticking to the Qin camp like a tortoise at this moment, letting the Chu army attack and not fighting back.

But if the Chu army dared to retreat, then Feng Wuze would lead the army out and launch a fierce counterattack, which might even cause the Chu army to be defeated due to the retreat.

So Chu Jun had no other choice.

"I hope these 10,000 people can block the Qiang beast, and after Bugu breaks through the Qin camp and defeats Feng Wuze, he will go face the Qiang beast again."

"Pass the order, the offensive will not stop today, and the attack will be fierce all night! We must quickly take down the Qin camp!"

Just when King Qi of Chu issued the military order.

The messenger from Huaiyin has brought the latest news.

"Your Majesty, General Cai led his army back to Huaiyin to stop the Qin army with the city."

"But the Qin army only left half of its soldiers and horses to besiege Huaiyin, and Qin general Zhao Tuo led the rest of the Qin army to come here!"

King Qi of Chu was shocked and shouted: "What? How could Cai Niao fight like this, leading ten thousand soldiers to defend the city? Isn't this exposing Bugu to the Qin army?"

"Then General Qin...wait a minute, Zhao Tuo? Isn't Qiang Li the chief general of the Qin Army?"

"How could it be Zhao Tuo!"

There is a third update tonight.
