Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 368 Mengbai Sword Points at Xinzheng
At this time, Fan Zeng also became interested, and said: "I dare to ask: what army is the enemy of the Western Chu army?"

He doesn't care about this time, if it is really possible to check for leaks and make up for gaps, it would be good to prevent the erroneous things from happening.What's more, if Xiang Zhuang's talent is unearthed, it will be a good thing for Xichu today.

"It's the Qin army. Today's Qin army is a group of lambs, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Why should Yafu fear the enemy like a tiger?" At this moment, Xiang Zhuang laughed teasingly.

Having said that, the last shred of fear in Xiang Zhuang's heart was gone.He knew in his heart that this time was just a game.

Only by telling the truth, Yafu Fan Zeng and Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu will change their decision and adopt his countermeasures.

Before Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, Zhong Limo at the side shouted indignantly: "Your Majesty has heard of the courage of the princes, how can he be as fearful of the enemy as a tiger? Yafu's plan is unrivaled, and this is known in the world!"

"General Xiang, don't make mistakes!"

Glancing at Zhong Limei, Xiang Yu smiled leisurely and said, "Zhong Li, let him say, since he wants to speak, then speak out what's on his mind."

"It's just a matter of fact. Yafu's current deployment looks like a tiger to the enemy in the eyes of others." Xiang Zhuang bowed solemnly to Fan Zeng: "This kind of warfare has never been seen in Western Chu!"

At this moment, Fan Zeng's three corpses jumped violently.He never thought that such a day would come.The coexistence of surprise and anger kept Fan Zeng silent for a long time.

Fan Zeng waved his hand to Zhong Limo who was glaring sideways, looked at Xiang Zhuang coldly, and said, "Both offense and defense are wars, and the only thing we want is a victory in the end. Everything is for Xichu, isn't it?"

"As long as Xichu wins in the end, is there any difference between attacking and defending?"

The continuous shouting and asking made Xiang Zhuang stunned for a while.After all, he is only a general, and compared with Fan Zengyi, his disadvantage is extremely obvious.

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Zhuang raised his head and said, "Yafu, although there are three households in Chu, Chu will be destroyed when Qin dies. Even though there is one family in Xiang, great Chu will thrive."

"Only by attacking can we win a big victory. And only a big victory can defeat the Qin army's hard-won morale!"

"That's a bad word."

Fan Zeng walked out of the long case heavily and slowly, took a deep look at Xiang Zhuang, and said, "As a matter of fact, the Qin army is no less elite than the Chu army, and Qin's national strength is no less than that of Western Chu."

"Because of this, the Qin army used the power of the whole country to attack from a long distance, and undoubtedly strived for a quick victory. Once the protracted period of time, the Qin army will have to spend a lot of trouble in terms of food, grass and supplies, which is naturally beneficial to me."

"Moreover, Marquis Wang Ben is in command of the Qin army. You don't need to elaborate on Wang Ben's talent. You must know it well. The king and Wang Ben are stronger and weaker, and there is no conclusion yet!"

"What's more, the king is the master of Western Chu, and there must be no mistakes. Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, is not. Even if something happens, Qin II will sit in charge, so naturally there will be no chaos."

"If the army moves out of Yingchuan to attack against each other, even if Western Chu can win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory. This time, my goal for Western Chu is the world, not just a Great Qin."

……

In this debate, Yafu Fan Zeng finally won the final victory.Two days later, all the troops arrived in Xiangcheng. At the same time, Xiang Yu led the shogunate of the Chinese army north to Yingyang.

In the entire Xiangcheng, there are only Xiao Kai's major grain and grass camp and the garrisoned army outside the city.

Regarding the deployment of the Chu army at this moment, Fan Zeng has a certain plan, but he knows that there are loopholes in this plan. If the Qin army grasps it, it may not be possible to break it.

……

"Your Majesty, the deployment of our army has already arrived at the position. We just need to wait for the right time to win in one battle!" General Wang Ben's eyes were bright and he was extremely confident.

Hu Hai was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and said, "The rise and fall of nations, in this thought, how sure is the general?"

This battle is of great importance.The power of the whole country will be decided here.When the matter came to an end, Hu Hai hesitated, and couldn't help asking Wang Ben to strengthen his confidence.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Wang Ben smiled lightly, and said, "Since the great chaos in the world, the decisive battles of hundreds of thousands of troops in the world have been staged from time to time. Since the king of the world outside Hangu Pass, Qin and Chu have lived in peace."

"Nowadays, there was a dragon first and the mainstay was killed in battle. Now that the two sides have gathered large armies in Yingchuan County, it is bound to become a decisive battle that attracts the attention of the world."

Speaking of this, Wang Ben sighed, bowed deeply to Hu Hai, and said: "Qin has sharp soldiers, who will fight for the front. In this battle, our Great Qin Empire will definitely win."

"it is good!"

Wang Ben's words gave Hu Hai great confidence. He stood up from the long table and bowed solemnly to Wang Ben: "I beg you——!"

"Facing the old Qin, let's go to the national calamity together! Don't shed blood, and never stop fighting!" Facing Hu Hai's bow, Wang Ben can only express his determination with this old Qin's oath.

Facing each other on a vast highland like Yingchuan, the armies of both sides are based on one country: Qin State is based on the land of Guanzhong, the land of Qin, and Western Chu is based on the land of ten counties.

For a time, the entire Central Plains up and down the river was covered with an unprecedented cloud of war.

This battle was not only a vast battlefield, but also related to the rise and fall of the Great Qin Empire. Therefore, the two armies did not start fighting immediately after arriving at the battlefield.

Western Chu took the defensive position by waiting for work, and was busy building deep ditches and high fortifications.The Qin army marched far away to take the offensive, and was busy clearing the passes and rivers east of Hangu Pass.

He was even more busy transporting and hoarding food and grass, busy cleaning up the outer battlefield, busy setting up ambushes, reconnaissance, deployment and other preparations before the war.

The confrontation between the two armies lasted for three months.Now it is the beginning of spring and February, the weather is still cold, and the world seems to be still shrouded in winter.

Since the first battle in Hanoi, Lord Wu'an Baiqi, the outbreak of war has been regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.The reason why the two countries confront each other is because neither is ready for the other.

The sixth day of February in the sixth year of Emperor Qin II.

The Qin army, who had been dormant for three months, took advantage of the first biting spring breeze in Sanchuan County, and the outer offensive of this war kicked off.

In the first battle, they seized Xinzheng, the most important town in Yingchuan County.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xinzheng was a first-class fortified city. Not only was the city wall thick, but it also had a moat formed by diverting water.

Even compared with the moat of Xianyang, the largest city in the world, it is not inferior.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack!

And this time, all the cavalry led by Meng Bai were all cavalry, and they were not good at siege.

During the three-month confrontation, Mengbai had already heard clearly about Xinzheng's city defense map, and knew that the city gate closest to the north had the weakest defense.

It's just that Mengbai didn't have much confidence, because he got the news that the general of Western Chu Heng Chu led [-] reinforcements into Xinzheng.

Today's Xinzheng is a natural danger.With [-] elite cavalry, it is not easy to conquer in one fell swoop.It's just that Mengbai knows in his heart that he has no choice about this.
