Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 291 Chu State Destroyed, Xiang Yan Died

In front of Zhaoguan City.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army are attacking the defending Chu army at all costs like a pack of wolves.

Every moment, Brother Pao Ze fell beside them. Sometimes, they even had to rely on the corpse of Brother Pao Ze to move forward.

In front of the entire city gate, there were densely packed bodies of soldiers of the Qin army lying in disorder.

Some people have lost their limbs, and they were smashed into flesh by the enemy's catapults.

Scarlet blood is filling the surrounding fields. There is no grass growing in the barrenness, and there is just a flash of light. It is also the enemy who ignites the arrows, like a streamer, and falls from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.

"kill!"

No matter the enemy or us, many people are doing their best to exhale the sound of fighting, only they know in their hearts that this is not an aura, but a way to cheer themselves up.

They have experienced too many farewells, and they are gradually afraid in their hearts, afraid that they will also fall on this battlefield.

If they didn't serve as soldiers, they should all be farming at home, or looking after the homes of some rich and famous masters, and doing some servant work.

Even so, they were able to spend their whole lives safe and sound, and they would not lose their lives here when they were in their prime.

For the soldiers of the Qin Army, many people missed their hometown when they were dying.

Or in their eyes, it would be a very happy thing if they could be buried in their hometown after death.

but
They can only fantasize.

Their descendants can't even find their bodies or their graves, so they can only set up a tomb for them in their hometown as a way of condolence and remembrance.

Even if you say a thousand things and ten thousand things, the thousands of thoughts you want to go home can't compare with the glory at this moment.

They all know that this battle is not only for Qin, it is as simple as fighting for themselves, it is for the world!
Domination of the world, something unprecedented in the ages, is about to be realized as they move forward.

They heard that Qi State's military strength is weak, and they dare not confront Qin State at all. Presumably, after Qin destroys Chu, Qi State will definitely choose to surrender, and will no longer continue to resist like them.

Isn't it a good thing to unify the world and let there be no more wars in this world?

They don't understand.

They can only use blood and bones to make the enemy understand.

A man walks in the world, where he walks, where he is buried, all the green mountains in the world are the same!
The future belongs to Qin!
On the chariot not far away, Meng Tian and Wang Ben stood side by side, and in front of him was Ying Yuan's majestic body.

The two said one after another:

"Master Hou, the tragedy of this war is probably the worst in these years."

"We never imagined that this war would be so difficult. The combat effectiveness of the enemy army is almost equal to that of our army, and they have the advantage of defending the city."

Having said that, Ying Yuan interrupted: "When the Marquis attacked the foreign race, Li Tong led the army and fought bloody battles in Qixia Valley for several days. Almost all the soldiers under his command were wiped out. That war was more difficult than it is now. This battle is even more difficult.

Even at such a difficult level, Li Tong still waited until the arrival of Ben Hou. We are just beginning, have you lost your belief in victory? "

Hearing the sound, Wang Ben bowed and said: "Go back to Lord Marquis, we have not lost our belief in victory, on the contrary, the enemy army is at the end of its rope, and we have no chance of losing this war.

However, seeing so many soldiers fell in front of them one by one, it was really unbearable in my heart. "

Ying Yuan understood what he meant.

As the saying goes, kindness does not lead soldiers.

But in his opinion, a general who doesn't cherish his soldiers is not worthy of being a general.

Only a general who cherishes his soldiers will give full play to his commanding ability in a desperate situation, so that the soldiers will suffer fewer casualties, instead of letting the soldiers fight tough battles with their lives.

It is the greatest shame for a general to kill one thousand enemies and injure himself eight hundred.

"This Marquis knows how you are feeling now, but do you think that this Marquis is not uncomfortable? But this Marquis can't help it. This siege campaign is now the most difficult moment.

If we withdraw our troops at this time, our previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will our morale be greatly affected, but at that time, it will be very difficult to organize a siege campaign of this scale. "

Ying Yuan is good at attacking cities, he knows very well that between attacking and defending, all he has to do is fight with one breath.

If he vented his anger first, then the next time he attacked the city, the casualties he would pay would be several times more than the current one.

Ying Yuan personally supervised the battle, attacked for about four days in a row, and finally opened a gap in Zhaoguan City.

For this gap, Qin Jun paid a price of nearly 6 people.

After all the Qin troops gathered in one place, Ying Yuan gave the order for a general attack.

This vast battle has been fought from day to night, even two days and two nights have passed, and the flames of war have not stopped at all.

In the end, the soldiers stormed into the city gate and started street fighting with the Chu army.

This war, after both the enemy and us have experienced a painful price, has also begun to gradually come to an end.

Mi Qi's whereabouts are currently unknown, and she should be struggling in the city lord's mansion.

As for Xiang Yan, he had already raised his spear and went to fight the Qin army on the front line.

More and more soldiers of the Qin army surrounded the last tiger and wolf general of Chu.

At this moment, there are no soldiers around him anymore.

All died tragically under the butcher's knife of the enemy.

They are all good men who are chosen one in a million, and they will not hesitate to defend their families and the country.

Xiang Yan was exhausted from fighting, and at the moment when he could only rely on his spear to stand still, he lost his strength and took the initiative to attack the Qin army, and was forced to enter a defensive situation.

At this time, Ying Yuan had also entered the city, seeing Xiang Yan covered in blood and disheveled hair, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.

No matter what kind of grievances they have, at this moment, in his eyes, Xiang Yan is indeed the last backbone of Chu State, such a general is worthy of his respect.

Those who do not respect their opponents will hardly survive in the world.

"Xiang Yan, you are defeated. At the beginning of the battle, Benhou told you that you released Benhou at the bank of a tributary of the Huai River.

This Marquis is not an ungrateful person, today, this Marquis can give you a chance to survive, bring your people and surrender to my Great Qin, otherwise, you will only die! "

Ying Yuan said lightly.

Xiang Yan, who was surrounded by the crowd, sneered again and again after hearing the sound, "Ying Yuan, at this moment, why should you be disgusted with this commander? Since ancient times, there is nothing better than the winner and the loser.

You listen, me!Xiang Yan, the great general of the Chu State, was defeated by you and others today. Although it is God's will, it is also man-made!Success or failure, let the future generations comment!I have a clear conscience! "

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he pulled out the sword from his waist and killed himself.

Very straightforward, it seemed that he had already thought of his end today.

Ying Yuan watched the moment when he died without any disturbance in his heart.

He knew very well that with Xiang Yan's character, he would definitely disdain to live in the world.

However, in this way, he lost another old friend.

It is an old friend, rather than treating him as an opponent at this moment.

He also understands what the four words 'Also artificial' mean.

If Chu King Xiong Yuan had trusted him unreservedly at the beginning, perhaps at this moment, the soldiers of the Qin Army would not even have captured Shouchun City.

It's a pity that in several battles where the king of Chu intervened, the vital strength of the Chu army had been wiped out.

"Bury him generously and erect a monument for future generations to pay tribute to!"

Ying Yuan respects every opponent he meets in his life.

Because they are all people who shocked future generations.

Xiang Yan, Xiang Yu's grandfather, a general in the last years of the Chu Kingdom, rarely failed in his life.

Born for the war, and finally died in the war, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death!

Xiang Yan's death also symbolized that the end of Chu's demise was irreversible.

"Master Hou, Mi Qi is in the city lord's mansion. He said that he wants to see you before he dies."

Meng Tian came to Ying Yuan's side, bowed and said.

The latter laughed lightly and said: "Mi Qi owes the country's grace. Even if he doesn't come to see Benhou, Benhou still wants to see him. Benhou wants to ask him face to face. He, a traitor of the Great Qin, has not been in his heart until now. With no regrets!"

The reason why these words were said in full view was that Ying Zheng would think too much when he heard that Mi Qi wanted to see him before he died.
