My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 256: Specially poking at the rear (please book all the monthly tickets for rewards!)

The chariot galloped all the way from the river beach. The stones kicked up by the horse hit the wheels of the chariot. The pebbles hit and hit, and there was a sound of water.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise on the river beach, and in front of the city gate, arrows had already been shot at the city head.

The Qin people fought their way to the city wall, and no one stood up to stop them.

At this moment, the generals stationed in Pingyu were also frightened awake by the noise outside.

The houses in the pre-Qin era were basically built along the terrain.On the hillside, facing the sun and close to the water.

Although there is a city, the houses and beds are close to the ground.

Like tens of thousands of war horses roaring in, the ground shaking caused can directly wake people up from their sleep.

On the eve of the first lunar month, every household had just prepared supplies for the New Year festival, and no matter what they were doing, everything came to a standstill.

Logically speaking, it is taboo to use troops on days when worshiping the gods of heaven and earth.

In the past, even if the two countries were at war with each other, they would stop on days like this.

In this era, the name of the gods is more effective than the emperor's order.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Qin army achieved a surprise victory.

Almost effortlessly, Xiang Yan's house was demolished.

(The Xiang family’s fiefdom is in Xiang Di, and the place before Xiang Di is Pingyu. Pingyu is the gateway to Xiang Di.)
"General, we have captured more than 700 Chu soldiers alive."

At this time, a burly general wearing a high crown and leather boots stepped on the wall of Chu State.

[As early as the Warring States Period, boots already existed. 】

Li Xin looked at the uproar in the city. The Chu people were fleeing in all directions. The soldiers were not like soldiers, and the people were not like people.

The crowd gathered together like a tide, grabbing and fleeing in every corner.

But the Qin army just pointed their crossbows at them and stood on the high ground, not wanting to kill these Chu people at all.

It would be easy to make them bleed.

It's just something that the Chu army is taboo about, and the soldiers of the Qin army are also taboo about it.

Killing people with blood during the first month is disrespectful to the gods of heaven and earth.

Moreover, Fusu ordered not to be reluctant to fight.

When you see a city, you plant a flag, when you see a palace, you see a burning palace.

The purpose is to attract Chu people's firepower.

"General, I didn't expect that our attack on Chu State would go so smoothly this time. It's a pity that we can't occupy such a city that they have no power to fight back at this time."

"Don't be nagging." Li Xin knew what the general was going to say. They wanted to take people's heads. "The prince has an order not to fight. We can just wait here until dawn."

"Let some Chu people go out of the city and ask them to go to their general Xiang Yan for help and tell the King of Chu about these things. Hurry!"

"Only! Only!"

Li Xin also fought more than 30 battles, large and small, in his life, but he had never fought a battle like this.

"It's really fresh."

Li Xin stood at the top of the city and was soon chased by the war supervisor.

"General, your position is above that of the captain. You cannot be at the top of the city during battle. This is against military discipline."

The war supervisor was holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and he was wearing heavy armor.It's like wearing a turtle shell.

He spoke earnestly and held a pen in his hand, hoping that Li Xin could retreat to the Chinese army.

When Li Xin heard this, his eyes were full of disdain.

He strode over and glared at the war supervisor.

"What a joke! Why don't you ask me, Li Xin, how I became a general? Whenever I lead troops in battle, I don't lead the soldiers to charge in front of the battle. I won't hide in the middle army just because I am a general. Inside the tent.”

The surrounding soldiers are naturally Li Xin's confidants.

These are all men with scars on their faces, including Li Xin, who also has an arrow scar under his eyelids.

The scars are all their fault.

After hearing Li Xin's words, all the generals burst out laughing on the top of the city. "Do you know how many precious fighter planes will be wasted when a general lives in the middle of the army and scouts back and forth to report the enemy's situation? Opportunities cannot be missed, and they will never come back. There are no rules on the battlefield, so don't do this to me."

Li Xin not only refused to listen, but also ordered people to lay out mats and seats and sit directly at the top of the city.

There was chaos in front of the city and in the city.

When the fire breaks out, the birds and animals panic.Although many flocks of flying birds had been scared and flew away before.

But when they saw the fire and heard so many people laughing, the laughter spread to Pingyu City. Naturally, these birds and beasts were so frightened that they moved away overnight and did not dare to stay for a moment longer.

Before the Chu soldiers could set up their crossbows, the Qin army had already captured the city.

A fire broke out in the tower in front of the city, and the raging flames rose to a height of twenty feet. The villagers of Chu State who lived according to the terrain naturally saw the rising smoke.

Of course, they also saw the flag of Qin hanging on the top of the city of Chu.

The black flag fluttered in the wind under the firelight, and the word 'Qin' came into view.

Fusu's move frightened half of the Chu people into thinking that the Chu army had been defeated on the front line.

At this moment, the people in Pingyu City were running around telling each other and shouting on the streets.

"Our Chu army has been defeated!"

"Heaven is going to destroy our country of Chu!"

Hearing what these Chu people said, the Qin soldiers naturally laughed even happier.

The southeast of Pingyu is the sleeping place.

Further to the southeast of the sleeping place is Shouchun, the capital of Chu State.

The Chu army could not wait to report the matter eight hundred miles away, traveling at starry night, and report the matter to the king of Chu as soon as possible.

By the time the King of Chu was told that he was carrying Chu, the Qin army had already occupied Pingyu for three days.

This year has been the most difficult year for ordinary people.

Because they were Qin people for the first three days, and then changed back to Chu people.

This is said later.

But the Qin army suddenly attacked Pingyu, directly stabbed the Chu army in the butt, and even smashed the door of Xiang Yan's house.

Before the news reached Chu State, Xiang Yan received the news first.

After hearing the news, he first admired Qin's crown prince Fusu, as this was like his military style.But he couldn't say this in front of others.

The suspicion of collaborating with the enemy never reaches a serious level, it is always in such trivial details.

But then, Xiang Yan also became proud.

Because as he expected, "The prince of Qin finally couldn't sit still. It could be seen that he himself was under tremendous pressure. So he chose a passive sneak attack. He quickly summoned the generals, assembled troops and horses, and prepared to attack Xinzheng." "

Xiang Yan expected that the score would be almost equal.

Chu State is not weak, and Qin State is not that strong.

But what happened next made him very angry.

When the generals came to the tent and heard the news that Pingyu had been captured, they were all panicked.

Judging from the map, their location is now surrounded by the Qin army on three sides.

Once the Qin army is surrounded on three sides, the situation will be very unfavorable to them.

What Xiang Yan said before seemed to be the same as what Bai said.

These generals did not admit it at all.

"General. We were ordered by the king to attack the Qin State and asked their Prince Qin to take their troops home to find his father. But we listened to your words and waited in front of Wancheng for a month. For a long time. Now Wancheng has not been captured, but our Pingyu has been."

"If this continues, before we can get a city and a pond, the Qin army has already defeated us. If this continues, they will attack Xiangdi, and then Shouchun."

When the generals heard this, they were naturally frightened.

Xiang Yansurong said, "This is Prince Qin's cunning. He has less than [-] troops. This attack on Pingyu has absolutely no intention of taking the city. It is actually a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If you follow me to attack Xinzheng, this plan can be broken by then." .”
