Qiang Qin

A tiger joins a pack of wolves.

The reckless offensive posture of the generals of the Qin army made the soldiers of the Changsha army who had never seen the real battlefield frightened. Zhao Wu found hopelessly that no matter how much he yelled, he could not arouse the fighting spirit of his generals.

The Changsha army retreated steadily.

The black lines representing the clothes of the soldiers of the Qin Army are marching southward step by step, one after another of their own warships had to give up, and the soldiers on board either jumped into the river to swim, or simply fell on their knees, begging Live a cheap life.

"General, we, too, will withdraw!" a confidant next to Zhao Wu had his teeth knotted and said courageously.

Zhao Wu looked ashamed, his beard and hair were all wet with sweat: "No, we can't retreat, let's hold on for a while, the general's fleet is behind the Qin people, as long as there is another half an hour, the victory will be ours! "

——.

Two-way attack.

What is needed is mutual cooperation, but obviously, the Changsha Army without pre-training cannot achieve such a tacit understanding. While Zhao Wujun was being violently attacked by the Qin Army, the main fleet of the Changsha Army led by Wu Feng was still ten miles away.

The cool breeze of spring is blowing.

On the Great Lake of Dongting, a few white sails reflect the blue waves, which is a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wu Feng was dressed in silver-white shiny battle armor with a scarlet cloak on his outside. He looked extraordinarily handsome and handsome. The news of the battle at Juzizhoutou had been sent to Wu Feng's army a quarter of an hour ago. However, look at him His demeanor didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"General, General Zhao Wu has sent someone again for emergency, are we—!" A lieutenant of the Changsha military academy boarded Wu Feng from a small boat and said anxiously.

"What's the rush? Qin Man's infantry has already landed, and its navy is only about [-] strong. General Zhao's troops are three times larger than Qin Man's. Is there still a problem? What we have to guard against now is Qin Man's despair. Come back towards us?" Wu Feng smiled, shaking a feather fan.

While talking and laughing, the walls and sculls were wiped out.

Wu Feng has been in the battle for the first time, and he usually likes to be familiar with military books and war strategies. His idol most is Wu Qi, the general of Chu State. A frightening soldier.Wu Qi's surname is Wu, and Wu Feng's surname is also Wu.

Wu Feng looked forward to proving himself with a big victory.

Reinforcements were long overdue.

Let Zhao Wu want to cry without tears.

One after another warships were sunk.

Under the fierce pursuit of the Qin army, the soldiers of the Changsha army at the back of the battle line first began to waver, and then a local battlefield collapsed. Zhao Wu killed several fleeing military lords in succession, but he still couldn't stop the defeat.

Twilight.

After a difficult trek, the infantry troops led by Manchuchen finally reached the battlefield, their arrival.Although it was impossible to directly inflict damage on the enemy, the shock and deterrence it brought made the soldiers of the Changsha Army even more panicked. They also looked forward to reinforcements, but the result was quite different.

"The Qin people who came from afar have backup. And where are our reinforcements?" The officers and soldiers of the Changsha Army turned and fled in desperation.

The flames soared into the sky, and the burning ships whimpered in the wind, accompanied by endless bursts of fireworks.

Most of the warships of the Changsha Army were sunk or burned.Zhao Wu couldn't escape, and was rushed by the rebel army and fell into the Xiang River and drowned. The Qin army's navy went through a fierce battle for two hours.In one fell swoop, Zhao Wujun's fleet was defeated.

But at this time, Wu Feng began to wake up from his arrogance and narcissism, and hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up. Unfortunately, as the battlefield approached, the soldiers of the Changsha Army witnessed the miserable end of the friendly army. The courage to fight against the capable Qin army.

Juzizhou was defeated.

In a panic, Wu Feng led his troops to flee against the Yuanshui River. The route he chose could just avoid Feng Xuanjun's soldiers, but at the same time, it also made the defense of the capital of Changsha extremely empty.

——.

Changsha.

The broken soldiers who have fled back one after another are spreading a bad news that makes the soldiers and civilians in the city feel that the sky is falling. In the Xiangshui battle, the Changsha army, which was determined to give the Qin army a head-on blow, was killed by the Qin army, which was nearly twice as numerous as itself. He was defeated, and even General Zhao Wu died in battle.

How to do?

The Qin people are about to approach the city.

However, there are only less than [-] old and weak soldiers guarding Changsha City. These soldiers guarding the city are soldiers at best, but they are wooden stakes at worst. The Qin army, which defeated the elite Changsha army, competed.

It is located in the royal palace on the bank of Yuelu Mountain.

In a gloomy cloud, Changsha King Wu Rui was lying high on the brocade couch, his eyes were bloodshot. In front of him, Xiangguo Zhang Ao and the doctor were hanging their heads high and low, listening to Wu Rui's scolding.

"Zhang Xiang, your father and I are both vassals. When we got along in the past, we used to drink and talk happily, and we were very friendly. This time, I appointed you as the prime minister, and I also hope that your talents can be equal to your father's. Only in this way, our Changsha country can I was able to survive. However, in the past year, you have repeatedly failed my expectations. When I handed over the power to the prime minister, I said that Qin was powerful in the north, and my small country did not dare to fight against it. I only followed the leader and obeyed orders, but you colluded The remnants of the bandits are instigating Feng'er to do all kinds of dangerous things, this is to put my Wu family to death——!" Wu Rui reprimanded bitterly.

Zhang Ao lowered his head and said nothing. Guan Gao next to him still had a little resentment on his face and wanted to defend himself, but Zhang Ao quickly stopped him.

What Wu Rui said is correct, Zhang Ao is indeed not as capable as his father Zhang Er, but no matter who he is, the last thing he wants to hear is comparison, especially comparing himself with his father.

As the saying goes: blue out of blue and better than blue.

But when it comes to Zhang Ao, the evaluation has become that one generation is not as good as the previous generation. This is not to say that Zhang Ao is arrogant, even if it is replaced by other people, he will not listen to such stern "loyalty" from Wu Rui.

Wu Rui made a painful statement, and after scolding Zhang Ao and Guan Gao respectively, he finally lost his health and waved the two important ministers of Changsha Kingdom to step down.Due to the exacerbation of the condition, Wu Rui did not notice the resentful eyes hidden under the long eyelids when Zhang Ao turned to leave.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Zhang Ao and Guan Gao did not send envoys to contact Qin for reconciliation as Wu Rui had instructed, nor did they try to welcome back the eldest prince Wu Chen who was still in the Qin army. Quickly summoned some cronies.After some urgent planning, each of them packed up their valuables, and then opened the south gate of Changsha City before the dawn of the vertical sun, and fled further south to Lingling and Pangyi.

Lingling.

Located in the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River, it is an important town at the northern end of the Lingqu (Lingqu), the traffic hub connecting South Vietnam and the north. This place is also the most prosperous place in Changsha apart from the capital.And Pangyi is also Hengyang in later generations. The city located at the foot of Hengshan is said to be the place where the god of fire, Zhurong, defeated Gonggong.

Zhang Ao's choice to flee to the south was not a random act without direction.The fundamental reason was that he had received news from Wu Feng that the second prince, who was determined to inherit the throne of Changsha King, was leading an army all the way up from Yuanshui to Lingling and Pangyi.

——.

Changsha country.

After Zhang Ao, Guan Gao and other important officials who controlled the state affairs fled, they have fallen into a state of paralysis. What's more serious is that Changsha Wang Wu Rui was furious after hearing Zhang Ao's escape.Finally died.

After Wu Rui aged and died, Changsha Kingdom lost the last person at the helm.

Feng Xuan led the army all the way south, and the counties along the way watched the wind and surrendered, waiting for Man Qiuchen, the vanguard of the Qin army, to lead the way under the leadership of Wu Chen.When they arrived at the north gate of Changsha City, most of the guards of the capital had fled, and the remaining officials who were at a loss were led by a few elderly people.Go out of the city to surrender.

Wu Chen, the eldest prince of the Changsha Kingdom, was unbearable to witness when he was marching and fighting in the front, but on this occasion, he showed his etiquette and demeanor as a gentleman.He perks up right away.

With Wu Chen as the nominal lord of a country, the Qin army's move to occupy Changsha no longer seemed so aggressive. For ordinary people, the king's banner on the top of the city changed, whether it was Fanjun Wu Rui and Wu Chen, who are still playing the flag of Qin, are just opera singers. As for whether the opera singing is good or not, it has to be proved by facts.

The Qin army on the west road successfully conquered Changsha.

The last symbol representing the era of feudal hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty no longer exists. The new Qin State is like a rising sun, sweeping away all the shadows and darkness with an unstoppable momentum.

The good news of the great victory was quickly spread back to Chang'an, the capital city, and quickly spread throughout Chang'an City. As usual, the fastest-moving merchants were the ones who acted the fastest, but this time, the reaction of the Hu merchants was more A little later, the big merchants from Kanto took advantage of their geographical location and familiarity, and started to prepare to go south to seize the territory before the merchants from the Western Regions.

Compared with the jubilation and encouragement in Qin State, the anti-Qin side was lifeless, and the atmosphere was oppressive and breathless.Wu Feng and Zhang Ao retreated to Lingling and Pangyi, making Meijuan and Xiangzhuang in Wuling lose their final room for maneuver. Next, the anti-Qin armies that had been suppressed into a single line were left with only Fujian and Yue You can retreat, but once you retreat into Fujian, for outsiders such as Mei, Xiang, Wu, and Zhang, you don't have to wait for the Qin army to attack, and Wu Zhu's local snake will devour them first.

In desperation, Mei Juan, Xiang Zhuang, Wu Feng, and Zhang Ao held an emergency meeting in Mei Juan's lair, Meiguan in the hinterland of Wuling, to discuss the next military strategy. The envoys of the party were also invited to participate, and the forces of all parties fought for their own interests, and their faces were red, and they almost started fighting with each other.

Not only the Quartet and Wuzhu have conflicts, Mei, Xiang, Wu, and Zhang are also unceremonious for the last bit of territory. However, under the pressure of the Qin army's aggressive attack, these forces finally reached an agreement to form a coalition. , to jointly resist the Qin army's invasion.

At this meeting, Minyue Wang Wuzhu was undisputedly recommended as the commander of the coalition because of his strongest strength. During the war, the meeting elected Mei Juan as the deputy commander to unify the command of the war against Qin.

In addition, Xiang Zhuang was appointed as General Zuo, who was in charge of the headquarters and the reorganized Changsha Army. In the meeting, the only person who felt very uncomfortable was Wu Feng.

The second prince of Changsha not only failed to get the position of the coalition commander he dreamed of, he was even deprived of his military power.

In extreme anger, Wu Feng tried to launch a mutiny and lead the Changsha army out of Mei Juan's control, but this move was leaked by Zhang Ao, Wu Feng was unable to leave on his own, and was captured alive by Xiang Zhuang and placed under house arrest.

After some integration, the anti-Qin forces of the various ministries finally reached a formal alliance. The lips were dead and the teeth were cold. As the commander-in-chief, King Wuzhu of Minyue also sent a reinforcement army composed of [-] Yue warriors to join. So far, the anti-Qin coalition forces The total strength has reached more than [-]. Among them, the combat effectiveness of the Xiangzhuang, Meijuan, and Wuzhu tribes is almost comparable to that of the Qin army.

The battle of the Southern Expedition.

After going through the first stage of temptation, it entered the cruelest and most critical stage. (To be continued..)
