The love of Daqin

Chapter 204;

From 279 BC to 278 BC, Qin State launched a two-year war against Chu State, known in history as the Battle of Yanying!
Bai Qi meditated to death, made many investigations, and went deep into the countryside of Chu State.

Finally, he thought of a way to conquer the Ying capital of Chu State.

He took advantage of the favorable conditions of Yishui flowing from the long valley of Chuxi Mountain to the southeast, and built a dyke a hundred miles west of Yancheng to store water.

Bai Qi wanted to divert the water from the west to the east, and slender the canal directly to Yancheng, ready to open the canal to fill the city.

When everyone heard this plan, everyone felt that it was a fantasy, and it drained water across a mountain.

Not to mention how much the river can drain, it is only separated by a mountain, and it is in the opposite direction.

The difficulty and hardships of this project can be imagined.

Bai Qi personally went to the Bashu area and invited Li Bing and his son, who came to build Dujiangyan, to help guide the canal.

Li Bing's father and son were ordered in a critical situation, and it was incumbent upon him.After inspecting the topography inside and outside the Ying capital of Chu State, it is believed that the river from the west will be led to the east, and the Ying capital will be annihilated.

The flooding of Yingdu will not only destroy the center of gravity of the Chu King's city for hundreds of years, but also destroy the state of Chu, and make it impossible to restore the national strength for decades or even later.

It is of strategic significance for Qin Guodong to make a great cause and flatten the Central Plains.

But hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city will also die innocently.

In the past, Li Bing built Dujiangyan to benefit the common people.

It is not what he wants to see now that it is used to attack the city and conquer the land.

Days passed, and it took three months. When the canals for the water tanks were built, the crowd cheered.

In order to thank Li Bing and his son, Bai Qi specially asked the king to give him a generous reward!
Li Bing refused the reward from the King of Qin. He said, "For this project, my father and son do not ask for merit, but I ask for no fault!"

Qin Wang Yingji ordered Bai Qi to release the news that the Qin army had attacked the city before the flooded Yingdu, and asked the people in the city to evacuate safely.

After all, Yingdu of Chu State was the mother country of the Empress Dowager. Ying Ji took into account the feelings of her mother and tried to reduce the casualties of Chu State as much as possible.

When the Qin army spoke in front of the formation, they shouted in unison: The Qin army will flood Yingdu, and the people in the city will be evacuated within 3 days.

As soon as this statement came out, the soldiers and people of Chu State thought that the Qin army was frightening them, but the Chu army and the people did not believe it at all, thinking that flooding Ying was nonsense.

When the King of Chu heard the news that Yingdu was flooded, he hurriedly called his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Some courtiers thought that this was a rumor released by the Qin army, which could not be captured for a long time, to deceive the army and not be a problem.

Some courtiers believed that the Qin army deliberately spread such propaganda so loudly that the people in the city were in jeopardy.But we Chu people are not fools, we will not scare away just a few words from Qin Jun.

Now the entire Chu State is working together to defend against foreign enemies.

After all, Yingdu is an important town in the Chu State, where the centuries-old dynastic foundation is located, and its defense and military capabilities are super strong.

The Chu army believed that the 30 Qin army wasted one more day of food and grass here.

The Chu army and the Qin army will definitely be no match for a head-to-head encounter.You can only take self-defense defense measures, trying to consume and drag the Qin army to death.

But how could Qin Jun sit and wait here, Bai Qi secretly, let Li Bing and his son have successfully led the water from the west to the east, waiting for the water to flood Yingdu.

One thousand soldiers in Bai Qi's life beat gongs and drums for three days and three nights, and told the Chu army and the people of Yingdu of their plan to flood Yingdu and attack the city, but no one would believe them.

War is about death and sacrifice. Bai Qi made a memorial to the current Qin king, Ying Si, and told him the plan to flood Yingdu. This is the only way to conquer Yingdu, but it will cause heavy casualties and bring disaster to [-] innocent people. Life is charcoal.

The King of Qin, Ying Ji, wanted to conquer Yingdu, but he would not be beheaded, and those who surrendered would be spared death.

But Chu Guoying wanted to rely on Daqin Ruishi to attack and seize the city head-on, and it was simply too difficult.Continuing to consume, can only ask for trouble and damage the national strength of Qin.

The arrow had to be fired on the string.Ying Ji allowed Bai Qi's memorial, but did not tell his mother about the flooding of Yingdu, so that she would not be sad.

The siege of the city was left to Bai Qi's own decision, Ying Ji only looked at the final result, the Qin army won, and Yingdu was completely victorious.

After Bai Qi received the order from the King of Qin, at the dawn of tomorrow, he asked the soldiers to form a team and open the gate to release the water.

When the surging river water is like a flood of beasts, it rushes toward the face!Running towards Yingdu, roaring.

The Chu army saw the flood pouring down the mountain, and they reacted, and the Qin army did not scare them.

It was too late for them to react, and the city walls of Chu State were all drowned.

The lives of [-] people were too small in the face of the flood, and they were all washed away by the flood!
