Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 166 An Arrow
Although I have no intention of participating in this battle again, it is also good to be able to brush up my sense of existence and deepen my status in the hearts of the main generals of the Qin Army.

However, according to Wang's order, I need to accompany Wang Jian to attack Jiangdong. Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi may not be easy to crack, so I will definitely miss this battle.

So after thinking about it, Ziying came up with the idea of ​​Zhushu's legacy.

"In my opinion, the king of Yan Dynasty will conquer the Yan Dynasty, and the generals of Xianyang should be the generals in terms of merit, and should take on this important task.

The people of the Yan Dynasty thought that the general's talent would be taken lightly, and they thought that Qin would destroy the five kingdoms, and Qi would have to do something. , Once there is a change and the army goes down, such a big event can be accomplished. "

The content written on Ziying's bamboo slips is actually Wang Ben's actions in history. He did not directly confront Qi's heavy troops at all, and he easily wiped out Qi.

However, it is one thing for Wang Ben to think of it himself when the time comes, and another thing for Ziying to predict it when he goes out to fight. You can imagine how shocked Wang Ben will be when Ziying's prophecies come true one by one.

After the army pulled out of the camp, Ziying and Wang Jian led 15 Qin soldiers to the south and stationed in Songyang City on the north bank of the river.

Near the river, most people live on water.When they arrived in Songyang, Wang Jian immediately ordered all the ships in the surrounding waters to be confiscated. At the same time, he sent people to gather all the shipbuilders, and the army went into the mountains to cut wood and build ships.

After staying for more than ten days, the boatmen from the land of Bashu also came down the river to Songyang.

With the addition of a group of professionals from the Qin Army Navy, the speed of shipbuilding has been greatly improved.

In the eighth month of August, the time has come to level the Jiangdong River in Ship City.

Although most of the areas south of the Yangtze River are still under the rule of Chu State, Ziying and Wang Jian did not plan to attack Jinling one city at a time. .

Although Xiang Yan also arranged some naval troops to station on the river, but facing Qin's mighty 20 army, he was defeated after a little fighting.

The Qin army landed directly near Jinling, surrounded Jinling with camps on all sides, and their prestige shook the sky.

In the first few days, Xiang Yan sent troops out of the city to fight, but they were all killed and defeated, and then they returned to the city, no matter how the Qin army fought, they couldn't hold out.

In desperation, the Qin army had no choice but to attack Jinling City under the command of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is a general in a hundred battles, but Xiang Yan is also a rare general. Even if he is slightly weaker than Wang Jian and other super famous generals, it is extremely limited. Moreover, Xiang Yan is on the side defending the city, so he already has the advantage. For more than ten days in Jinling, they failed to capture Jinling City.

In the past ten days, Ziying has not been idle, and took Xia Ke and Xue Ji, who had been sent by King Qin, to circle around Jinling City a few times while the army was attacking the city, thinking. The strategy of breaking the city.

If you want to rely on some tricks to lure the Chu army out of the city, it is possible if others defend the city, but it may be difficult to use it against Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu.

According to information, Xiang Yan should have expected such a situation in the first half year of the Qin army's shipbuilding, and had already hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Jinling City.

If the Chu army was forced to leave the city until the food and grass ran out, it might take a long time.

"Is there a good strategy for breaking this city?" Ziying was called to ask by Wang Jian as soon as he returned to the camp.

Ziying let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "Xiang Yan is worthy of being a general, a small city of Jinling is guarded by him like an iron wall."

Wang Jian was also a little embarrassed when he heard the words. At that time, he was boasting in front of the King of Qin, but now he was blocked outside the city by a small Jinling.

Ziying was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "Ying has a plan, but I don't know if I can do it."

"Mr. Chang'an, but it's okay." Wang Jian hurried back, regardless of whether the plan was successful or not, Wang Jian dared to give it a try. If he really waited for several years to besiege the city before capturing Jinling City, then Wang Jian's old face would be completely humiliated.

"Our army is besieging the city on all sides, and Xiang Yan is a fish in a cauldron. Jinling was originally a small city. I have seen it today. The walls of Jinling are relatively low. If the fortifications are higher than the city, the surrounding attack will be urgent; we are numerous and the other is widowed, and we will attack it. The Chu army must have been poorly defended, so the city can be broken," Ziying said tentatively.

After listening to Wang Jian, he thought for a while that if he did this, it would definitely shorten the time for the Qin army to break through Jinling.

Immediately said with a smile: "I know, Mr. Chang'an must have a good strategy!"

Immediately after giving orders, act according to Ziying's plan.

In the next few days, the Qin army suddenly stopped attacking Jinling. At first, Xiang Yan was a little puzzled, but around Jinling City, four thick earth walls were slowly built up outside the range of the Chu army's bows and arrows. Only then did Xiang Yan understand Qin Jun's intentions.

When the four earth barriers higher than the city wall were piled up, Qin's siege immediately became fierce.

The earth barrier was built outside the range of the Chu army, but the Qin army was condescending and supported by the Qin crossbow, but it could threaten the Chu army on the city wall.

The Qin army was in a hurry to attack the city from all sides. The Chu army not only had to defend the Qin army who was attacking the city on a ladder, but also had to keep in mind the small arrows flying down from above, and the casualties immediately soared.

As the defending side of the city, the Chu army suffered more casualties than the attacking Qin army.

Xiang Yan even dared not return to her mansion for several days, for fear that the Qin army would attack Jinling City while she was away.

Xiang Yan, who had just repelled a wave of Qin army's attack that day, was leaning on the city wall to rest, suddenly heard a commotion coming from below the city.

Xiang Yan stood up and took a look, she was shocked: "My minister Xiang Yan has seen the king, the king's daughter's body, how can he do this dangerous place, please return to the palace quickly!"

It turned out that Xiong Qi, the new king of Chu, came to the city wall under the protection of a group of guards.

"The city wall of Jinling is also the land of our Great Chu, why can't Gu come here." Xiong Qi said firmly: "Today Gu will guard the city wall with my son of Da Chu."

Xiong Qi is naturally not comparable to some kings who are greedy for life and fear of death. In the past few days, he has also clearly felt the crisis of Guangling City, and Xiong Qi, who once commanded troops in battle, naturally knows how to arouse the soldiers' desire to serve. He personally came to the city wall to cheer for the Chu army defending the city.

As the king of a country, the king of Chu came to the front line to visit the soldiers. The soldiers of the Chu army on the Guangling city wall were naturally grateful. After a while, a large number of soldiers gathered around Xiong Qi, the king of Chu. They all chanted the title of King Xiong Qi and knelt down Make a place.

Xiong Qi's arrival had a not-so-good effect on stimulating the morale of the Chu army.

However, looking at this scene, Xiang Yan's face suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, please return quickly!"

After the earth fort was built, Wang Jian and Ziying would face each other on the earth for each round of siege. When Xiong Qi came, the Qin army had just withdrawn, and Wang Jian and Ziying had not yet left.

The actions on the city wall were immediately noticed by the two of them, and Xiong Qi, king of Chu, even kissed the city wall.

"I wonder if the general can still draw a strong bow?" Ziying laughed.

"Although I am old, I can still open a bow of eight stones." Wang Jian said with a smile: "Bow!"

Immediately, there were guards presenting the bow and crossbow by his side, and when the string was stretched to the full moon, a sharp arrow shot towards Xiong Qi's heart.
