A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 250
After the Huai army captured one side of Kuimen, the other side would naturally be unable to defend it.The Shanyue soldiers crossed the mountains and ridges one by one, and quickly shuttled through the mountains.

These soldiers were all dressed in rattan armor, and only equipped with horizontal knives, hook locks, flying claws, bows and arrows. They were far lighter in the mountains than Chu soldiers who were equipped with iron armor.After these Shanyue soldiers climbed the cliff, the few defenders of Chu State were either killed, fled, or surrendered.

The Huai Kingdom soon occupied Kuimen, because the Kuimen was too fast to sail, so the Huai army disembarked from Kuimen, and continued to advance to Jiangzhou after crossing Kuimen.

When the king of Chu learned that Kuimen had fallen, he was shocked and quickly summoned troops to stop Huai.All the troops from the state of Chu rushed to Jiangdu one after another.

Sun Bin was not in a hurry to attack, but asked the army behind to repair the road to ensure the smooth passage of the army.Sun Bin brought a large number of craftsmen from the Mohists and the public losers to his expedition this time.

Some of these craftsmen stayed behind to direct the folks behind to repair the road, and some followed the army.

The news that Huai State broke through Kuimen greatly shocked the Western Chu State, and the King of Chu recruited a large number of soldiers to attack Sun Bin.It's just that the most elite army of Chu State has already gone to attack Qin State. Although there are many remaining troops, their strength is far from Sun Bin's opponent.

Sun Bin led [-] elite soldiers to attack seven cities in a row, defeating tens of thousands of Chu troops, and then the army drove straight in to the outside of Jiangzhou City.The army of the Huai State approached the city, and the entire Chu State was shocked. Chu State once again felt the danger of destroying the country.

It's just that compared to the previous state of Chu, where the monarchy was scattered everywhere, the current Western Chu state is much more united.In addition, Jiangzhou City is a mountain city with a dangerous terrain, which is far from being comparable to Yingdu. In addition, there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, so the King of Chu ordered the Badi army to return to help, and at the same time ordered the soldiers in the city to stand firm.

After Hanzhong and Brazil learned that the Huai army was approaching the city, they were shocked and mobilized their troops to prepare for the king.It's just that the army in Brazil has been fighting with the Qin army for a long time, and they want to withdraw their troops, but the Qin army will not agree.

Sima Cuo had long regarded these Chu troops as military exploits, so how could he let them escape.Hanzhong could only send people to retreat the soldiers who attacked Qin. At the same time, they recruited soldiers to go to Jiangzhou King Qin again.

After the war between Qin State, Western Chu State, and Huai State began, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei also formed a three-Jin coalition to attack Qin State again.Han Wei detoured Anyi and directly attacked the land of Hexi, while Zhao Guo attacked Shangjun of Qin State with a large army.

The Qin Army, which was fighting against the Western Chu Kingdom, was suddenly attacked by the Three Jins, and several cities were successively attacked in a short time.Knowing the sneak attack by the Three-Jin Allied Forces, Qin Wang's face was gloomy, and he appointed Gongsun Yan as a general, and mobilized a large army to resist the Three-Jin Allied Forces.

At the same time, just after the Huai State attacked the Western Chu State, the Qi State, which had long been eager to try, attacked the Huai State again.For Qi State's attack, Huai State had already prepared for it. Before Qi State's army was dispatched, the dark guards had already sent back the news that Qi State secretly recruited soldiers and hoarded food and grass.

The army of the Huai State gathered, and the 20 troops of the Qi State attacked Huai, but they were easily blocked by the Huai State.

At this time, the Qi State was no longer the powerful Qi State in the period of King Qi Wei, but the Huai State was thriving.Wang Xu sent his son Ji as the main general to lead the army against Qi.Young master Ji Nai is the most gifted disciple in the generation of the Wang clan.

He studied military tactics under the tutelage of Sun Bin. Although he is not as good as Sun Bin, his commander and military strategy are also about [-] years old.

With him in command of the army, Qi has no chance.Young Master Ji commanded the army, and was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack from the Qi army, but let the army defend and lure the Qi army to attack the city.

At the same time, Gongzi Ji sent cavalry to harass the Qi army and sneak attack the Qi army's food road.The Qi army was very annoyed by these cavalry harassment.

The cavalry of Huai State is different from the cavalry of Zhao State. Because Zhao State is located in the north, there are many Hu people who are proficient in riding and shooting, while the cavalry of Huai State is more like mounted infantry.

These cavalry move quickly with the help of horses, and in combat they dismount and use crossbow arrows and horizontal knives. Of course, these cavalry can also use crossbow arrows and horizontal knives to attack on horseback.It's just not as skilled as Zhao's cavalry.

In this era, cavalry had no stirrups, and even the saddles were very simple. To be able to fight on horseback required extremely strong riding skills, and the legs had to be clamped to the horse's belly.

The Qi State sent soldiers to besiege, but the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry at all, but were shot and killed by the cavalry with crossbow arrows. If the Qi army was small in number and did not line up, the Huai State cavalry would even take the opportunity to rush up and defeat them.

If the Qi army has a large number and is arranged in formation, they will release crossbow arrows from a distance to harass and attack.The Qi army sent chariot soldiers to chase the cavalry. Although the chariot soldiers were faster than the infantry, they still couldn't catch up with the cavalry.

At the same time, the cavalry can also use flexibility to separate the Qi army's chariots and soldiers, and then carry out siege.

For a while, he was helpless against the Huai cavalry, so he could only send a large army to protect the grain road.

Because of the harassment of the cavalry, the attack of the Qi State army was also very difficult. The Qi State army braved the Huai State's arrow rain to attack the city, causing heavy casualties.

Young Master Ji was not in a hurry to defeat Qi State, but to slowly bled Qi State, waiting until the soldiers of Qi State were exhausted, and then dispatched a large army to defeat Qi State in one battle.In this way, Qi State can be successfully defeated, and Huai State's casualties will be much smaller.

Yan State, Jicheng.

After more than ten years of fighting hard, reforming methods and striving to become stronger, the current Yan State can be said to have enough soldiers and food, and the Yan State at this time can be said to be the pinnacle of national power.

The young prince Shen who was so heroic back then has become the middle-aged King Yan.At that time, a large number of talented people were attracted through the golden platform, and Yan Guo completed the reform.

In the past ten years, the Yan State has broken the Donghu, attacked Loufan, and expanded the land for thousands of miles, making the Yan State a big country with a place of two thousand miles.It's just that most of the land in Yan Kingdom is grassland, which is not only sparsely populated, but also has a cold climate, which is not conducive to farming.

Yan Wangshen sighed: "The prosperity of Yan State today is due to the contributions of all talents. I heard that Qi State's 20 troops fought against Huai State and wanted to seize the land of Huai Si. They fought against Wei Zhao several years ago. Land, this time it can be said that it is making enemies on all sides. In the past, Qi State defeated the three Jins in a row, and attacked our Yan State in the north, almost destroying Yan State."

"If it wasn't for the help of Zhao and Wei, my country of Yan would have been destroyed for a long time. Now my country of Yan is strong, but the country of Qi is caught in the war of Huai country. Maybe now is the best time to deal with Qi country!"

Le Yi, Prime Minister of Yan State, stepped forward and said: "My lord, now is indeed the time to deal with Qi State. Qi State has 40 soldiers, half of them are fighting against Huai State, and the remaining 20 are scattered at the border and Linzi. We can just wait." Gather your forces and attack Qi."

"When we attack Qi State, Qi State will definitely be in chaos. Huai State will definitely not let go of this opportunity. How can Qi State be our opponent of Yan State?"
