A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 252 Tunxi Chu

Qi's army was defeated and completely defeated. The son Ji Dajun chased Qi's army all the way, drove straight into the hinterland of Qi.

As for those cities in Qi State, Young Master Ji did not capture them immediately, but chased after the main force of the Qi army.Most of the cities and towns of the Qi State were nobles and officials of the Qi State. They all guarded the city and did not dare to fight against the Huai State. As a result, the Qi army was defeated all the way.

Young Master Ji commanded the army, and chased all the way to the vicinity of Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi. When he arrived here, Young Master Ji also met the army of the State of Yan.

Seeing those Yan soldiers with high morale and murderous aura, Young Master Ji immediately stopped the army.After several times of tempering, the army of Yan State who defeated Qi State is at the peak of its strength, and with the commander Le Yi, it is also the strongest period of Yan State.

On the other side, Le Yi also ordered the army to stop. As the top commander, he was very aware of the strength of the Huai country. With tens of thousands of troops chasing him all the way, he was able to maintain his formation. After encountering the Yan country, he could quickly adjust his formation.

So elite, even the army of Yan State, whose morale is high under his command, is slightly inferior.His trip was to attack Qi State, not to fight Huai State.

Young Master Ji also didn't have the idea of ​​fighting Yan State. Yan State was located on the border of the Northland and had no conflict of interest with Huai State. In addition, Yan State's soldiers were elite.

Immediately, Young Master Ji sent an envoy to the army of Yan State, and at the same time, Le Yi also sent an envoy to the army of Huai State.

Seeing the envoy coming, both Young Master Ji and Le Yi knew that the other party had no intention of fighting. After the messenger passed the news, Young Master Ji invited Le Yi to meet in person.

When Le Yi heard Wang Ji inviting him, he was slightly taken aback, and the lieutenants around him hurriedly dissuaded him: "The general can't be in danger, if it's Huai country"

Le Yi laughed and said, "That young master Ji is the official office of the Huai State. Since the founding of the Huai State, the Huai State has never broken its promise."

"And the two sides communicated in front of the two armies. If they didn't go, wouldn't they be looked down upon?"

"The general is going, please let me wait for the guard!" The lieutenant next to him insisted.

Le Yi nodded and said: "That's good." Then he turned to the Huai country envoy and said, "We will discuss before the battle, and each side will bring five guards."

The envoy of Huai State immediately returned to report, happy Yi and Wang Ji each took five guards to the open space between the two armies to talk.

Wang Ji admired Le Yi very much. After a discussion before the battle, the two agreed that the army of the Huai State would no longer go north, and the State of Yan would no longer go south. The State of Yan and the State of Huai would not invade each other, and then the two sides would retreat ten miles.

After the army retreated, Wang Ji began to conquer the cities of Qi, while Le Yi continued to command the army to besiege Linzi.

Although the Qi State has not yet been destroyed, it is only a matter of time.

During the war between Huai State and Qi State, Qin State and the Three Jins also fought fiercely in the land of Hexi. Wei State saw this battle as an opportunity to re-emerge, but South Korea and Wei State were not strong enough, and Qin State ruled the city However, the two countries still did not take advantage of it.On the contrary, Zhao Guo won consecutive battles, and Qin Guo suffered a lot.

Qin was fighting on two fronts, and was unable to fight back at all.Fortunately, the Western Chu State also fell into a state of being attacked by the enemy because of the Huai State's attack.

The state of Qin was powerless to attack, but the siege of the state of Huai was getting more and more fierce day by day, and the siege of Jiangdu in the state of Chu was extremely tragic.

The king of Chu took out a lot of rewards to reward the soldiers, coupled with the abundant food in the city and the difficult terrain, it was very difficult for the Huai army to attack.

Sun Bin asked the craftsmen of the Mo family and the public loser to make bed crossbows and trebuchets for attacking, but the throwing distance of the trebuchets was limited. Although the bed crossbows had stronger attacks, their attack speed was slow.

Fortunately, with the arrival of more and more Huai troops, the balance of war has begun to shift towards the Huai country.

Sun Bin sent a large number of soldiers to besiege Jiangdu, and at the same time sent Shanyue elite to look for the weak point of this mountain city.At the same time, as time went by, more and more troops of King Qin of Western Chu rushed over.

After these King Qin's army gathered to a certain size, they began to attack.It's just that Sun Bin had prepared for this long ago. Three thousand crossbowmen faced each other, and then let the Tengjia army outflank from both wings, and King Qin of Chu's army was defeated one after another.

These are the second-line troops of the Chu State, or how could the recruited minzhuang be the elite opponents of the Huai State, and with the command of a top commander like Sun Bin, it would be difficult for the Huai State to lose.

And in the city of Chu State, seeing that the army that came to King Qin was defeated by Huai State one after another, the morale of the soldiers in the city was also dropping a little bit.

The city is besieged by a large army. If there are reinforcements outside the city to rescue them, even if the city is very difficult, the morale of the soldiers will not decrease. They are willing to fight desperately. The reinforcements outside the city are the hope of the soldiers in the city.But if the reinforcements outside the city are defeated one after another, the soldiers in the city will lose hope and their morale will plummet.

After defeating reinforcements several times in a row, the resistance in Jiangzhou City gradually decreased.At the same time, another army from Huai State also attacked Shangyong City.

Over the years, Huai Country has built Chi Roads, which not only improved Huai Country's transportation capacity by several levels, but also trained a group of road construction teams for Huai Country.The army of the Huai State attacked Shangyong, opened roads and built bridges when encountering mountains.Attack all the way and build roads step by step, forcibly widening the mountain road.

The land of Hanzhong is not like Jiangzhou, which belongs to a mountain city. Hanzhong Shangyong is a plain, after passing through mountains and rivers.The army of Shangyong Hanzhong originally dispatched an empty space to attack Qin, and later took away a large number of civilians and kings. When the Huaiguo North Road army attacked, there were only thousands of old and weak soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians left in Shangyong City.

How can these troops resist the Huai army?One hundred thousand troops besieged Shangyong, Huai State built a large number of siege equipment on the spot, how could Shangyong City resist.

In less than ten days, it was broken by the Huai army led by Wei Zong. The governor of Shangyong County of Chu hanged himself, and most of the rest of the soldiers surrendered.After Huai State defeated Shangyong, Wei Zong immediately sent soldiers to maintain order in the city, imposed a curfew, and controlled the treasury in the city.Then send people to count the people in the city, dare to make trouble, take the opportunity to plunder the people, set fire to kill people, rape women without mercy, and open warehouses to release grain.

Under Wei Zong's order, the soldiers of Huai State immediately dispatched, and soon Shangyong City restored order. At the same time, after Huai State opened a warehouse to release grain, Shangyong City gradually settled down. These people finally don't have to worry about Huai State slaughtering the city. .

When the Huai State was attacking, in order to arouse the will of the people to defend to the death, the Chu State deliberately threatened with false statements, saying that the soldiers of the Huai State were all murderous monsters, who committed all kinds of rape and robbery, and that they would slaughter the city if they captured the city.

After the Huai State captured Shangyong, they specially sent people to open warehouses to release grain, in order to tell the people in the city that the Huai State would not massacre the city.

After the Huai army broke through Shangyong, the entire Hanzhong Plain was also torn a gap.
