When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 431 Chu State Will Be Destroyed
Xiang Yan is indeed a famous general. He would rather let the Eastern Chu Kingdom bear the extreme logistical pressure, but also target the weaknesses of the Qin army and camp [-] soldiers and horses along the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Huai River.

However, Wang Jian is also a well-deserved famous general, a stronger famous general than Xiang Yan, and the Qin army is stronger than the Eastern Chu army, and the national strength of the Qin State is not comparable to that of the Eastern Chu State.

Therefore, within three days of the battle between the two armies, one of Xiang Yan's military strongholds on both sides of the Huai River was destroyed by the Qin army with lightning speed.

At this time, the strength of the Qin army was truly reflected. The strength of the Qin army was not only strong in the soldiers, but also in the strength of the middle-level officers.

The Qin State destroyed the Four Kingdoms and included the strength of the Five Kingdoms. It can be said that the real elites among the armies of the Four Kingdoms were absorbed by the Qin Army. , can be described as a transformation.

What Xiang Yan expected happened was that the Qin Army's combat power was uneven due to the fact that it came from various places within the three thousand miles of the Qin State. However, he did not expect that the uneven combat power of the Qin Army was only relative to the For himself, not for the Eastern Chu Army.

In fact, even the weakest Qin army's combat power is comparable to the elite Chu army.

What made the Eastern Chu army even more desperate was that the Qin army's machinery and equipment had reached an extremely exaggerated level. Each school's [-] soldiers and horses were equipped with the Hundred Wars God machine crossbow that had already surpassed the previous ones. The [-]-man army is equipped with no less than thirty mechanism beasts.

In the face of this absolute suppression of combat power that transcends dimensions, the dangers of mountains, rivers and rivers that the Eastern Chu Army relied on have completely become useless.

What really made Xiang Yan despair was that although the Qin army was huge in scale and attacked Eastern Chu at the same time on a front that spanned thousands of miles, there was no flaw in the coordination of command.

The cooperation of the various ministries of the Qin Army and the transmission of news between them far exceeded Xiang Yan's imagination. This made his original plan impossible to carry out. The Qin army captured and was powerless.

At this time, he still has an army of [-] in his hands. This is the real elite of the Eastern Chu Army. In his original plan, he originally thought that after the Qin Army divided up, he would find an opportunity to find the Qin Army's flaws, and then use this One hundred thousand elites raided the Qin army, severely damaged a part of the Qin army, and then tore the Qin army's front line, and then defeated the chaotic Qin army.

However, although the plan was good, there was no chance to put it to good use in the face of cruelty. Although the Qin army divided its forces, the cooperation with each other made it flawless.

Although Xiang Yan had an army of [-], he couldn't find a chance to make a move.

"Have you found out how the Qin army conveyed the military information?" Xiang Yan, who seemed to be dozens of years old after only a few days of development, asked Xiang Liang, the son in charge of the military information.

"It has been found out that the tool used by the Qin army to convey military information is the flying mechanism beast of the Mohist school." Xiang Liang said.

"The flying mechanism beasts of the Mo family? How come? How could there be so many flying mechanism beasts in Qin State." Xiang Yan stroked his forehead and said.

He already knew that Chu State had absolutely no chance.

"No one knows that the Qin army used a large number of mechanism beasts in the war against Zhao and Wei a few years ago, but now the Qin army uses mechanism beasts on a larger scale." Xiang Liang said worriedly. .

At this time, the gap in combat power between the Qin and Chu armies was so large that individual command could no longer bridge the gap.

"Qin's army has no flaws, and the only thing left is to fight with each other." Xiang Yan said.

"Father, do you want to fight the Qin army now?" Xiang Liang asked.

"Yes, it's time for a decisive battle." Xiang Yan said.

"Do we have a chance to win?" Xiang Liang asked, but there was no trace of hope on his face.

"Can't win, the current state of Chu can't win." Xiang Yan said.

"The strength of Qin State is beyond my imagination. That kind of strength is stronger than time. We are far behind Qin State now." Xiang Yan said that she did not seem to admit the fact.

"Then why are you..." Xiang Liang couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.

"I know it's an attack that is doomed to fail, but why do I still fight?" Xiang Yan said.

"Yes, why did father fight a battle he knew was inevitable?" Xiang Liang said.

"Because of hope and courage." Xiang Yan said.

"Hope and courage?" Xiang Liang asked in surprise.

Hundreds of thousands of people are risking their lives here for something like this?Xiang Liang's mind was full of doubts at this moment.

"Qin's strength is only temporary. He cannot be strong forever. As long as he is weak, we will have a chance. However, this waiting process must be long. How to get through this long waiting process? Hope and courage That's the key." Xiang Yan said.

"Did father want to ignite the hope and courage of the people of Chu with the blood of the [-] army?" Xiang Liang's face changed as he spoke, because, in his words, [-] is not less than a number, but a string of fresh words. A living life is enough blood to dye the Huai River red.

"Yes." Xiang Yan said calmly.

"Father, that's not hope and courage, it's blood, it's life, it's hatred." Xiang Liang's expression turned pale at this moment.

He was shocked and afraid by Xiang Yan's determination.

"You're right. It's blood, it's life, and it's hatred. The flame of hatred is the longest, strongest, most persistent, and most terrifying flame in the world. Do you understand?" Xiang Yan said.

"Burn your own flame?" Xiang Liang said in an unknown tone.

At Xiang Yan's age, he can think about the way he died, but at Xiang Liang's current age, he thinks more about how to live.

In April of the seventeenth year of Qin Wangzheng, after nearly a month of fighting, the Qin army pulled out all the Eastern Chu military camps on both sides of the Huai River, and then went down the river to Shouchun, the capital of Eastern Chu.

At the same time, Wang Ben's troops of the Southern Route Army of the Qin Army had also captured the Jiangdong area of ​​the Eastern Chu State. Then, the Dajiang River went northward along the Hangou built when the Wu State conquered Qi, and the waterway used by the Shouchun Eastern Chu monarchs and ministers to flee south. , All land routes are blocked.

At one time, [-] Qin troops gathered under Shouchun City, and another [-] Qin troops began to attack the cities in East Chu with the captured East Chu army camp as the center.

Xianyang.

"My lord, what are you looking at?" In front of the Xianyang Palace, Yan Lingji looked at Ying Zheng, who was looking at the distant sky in doubt.

"Lonely watching the state of Chu," Ying Zheng said.

"Chu country? Your Majesty, there is no Chu country there, it's just clear and white clouds." Yan Lingji followed Ying Zheng's line of sight, but what she saw was not the Chu country that Ying Zheng said.

"The position of your station is too low." Ying Zheng said.

"It's because the king looked too far." Yan Lingji argued.
