Daqin: Ascend to the Throne to Become the First Emperor

Chapter 40 Encircle the coalition forces, Xiang Yan falls

In fact, when I learned about his father, Han Wangan and the other four kings.

When conspiring to assassinate King Qin Ying Zheng.

He does not agree.

Because he knew that the five countries used the method of assassination to kill King Qin.

If it hadn’t been killed, once Qin used the same means to deal with them, it would be beyond the five nations’ ability to bear it.

This is indeed the case.

The assassinations that gathered most of the masters of the five nations were almost completely wiped out before entering Qin.

In the end, even in the hands of the three hundred masters, the strongest Han nation, the blood-clothed Hou Bai, was also killed by the Qin masters at the gate of the Qin king’s palace.

The assassination fell short.

Then Qin’s revenge came.

His father, Han Wangan and Yan Wangxi, were killed by the assassins of Qin Guoluo Net and Black Ice Terrace in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

And this is just the beginning.

Qin State commanded a forty-five army and attacked the three kingdoms of Yan, Han, and Zhao.

The three kingdoms of Yan, Han and Zhao were not the opponents of the army of Qin at all. Qin’s army was so powerful along the way that it easily attacked the capital of the three kingdoms of Yan, Han and Zhao…

“The immediate delay now is that the general will take the 500,000 Qi-Chu coalition forces to withdraw from Qin and return to both Qi and Chu safely, otherwise the battle will end and Qin will be almost the same as the unified world.”

Then Han Feidao.

Although he admired it, the young monarch of Qin, who was in power, was amazed at the other party, and he was able to come up with such five nations as pawns and wanted to make a plan in one fell swoop.

But he is the ninth son of Han Wangan, a former citizen of Han.

Standing on the opposite side of the Qin State, it is natural not to hope that Qin Wang Ying Zheng’s strategy will succeed.

“Since the left, right, and rear are surrounded by large forces, let’s move on. There are only fifty thousand Qin troops ahead. As long as we break through them, we will be able to return to Qi and Chu alive.”

“There is where we live.”

After listening to Han Fei’s words, Xiang Yan also realized that own has a heavy responsibility. He raised his spear and gave orders.

Afterwards, the 500,000 Qi-Chu coalition forces continued to catch up behind the 50,000 Qin army led by Li Xin.

…

In the three-way army.

Meng Yu, who was in charge of the post-breakup, was sitting in the army.

“How is the situation before?”

Meng Gao asked his lieutenant.

“Qing to the general, as expected, the Qi-Chu coalition army did not come towards us, but continued to pursue the little General Li Xin.”

The lieutenant reported.

“Haha, it looks like a road ahead, but in fact it is a dead end. There is a Heihe river about ten meters wide. The soldiers under Li Xin’s command have already been picked up by ships prepared in advance.”

Meng Yu laughed heartily when he heard the words.

In fact, because the Qi-Chu coalition forces have just entered the encirclement circle, the encirclement of the three of them is not close.

If Xiang Yan chooses any of their three directions, they attack with all their strength, tearing open a hole.

Maybe it was really possible to bring some Qi-Chu coalition forces back to Chu State.

However, Xiang Yan chose the most difficult and dead-end road.

“The general is wise.”

The lieutenant had a compliment in his tone.

“Don’t talk nonsense, this is an exhaustive strategy, but your Majesty came up with it.”

“Your Majesty sits in the palace, but counts the six kingdoms in the palm of his hand. How can the wisdom Transcendent be able to describe it.”

Meng Gao scolded the lieutenant when he heard the words.

Instead, he showed a sincere expression of admiration to Ying Zheng.

“Yes, yes, all of this is your majesty’s wise.”

The lieutenant knew he had lost his words and quickly changed his words.

“Send the order, be sure to join General Wang Jun and Wang Jian to encircle the Qi-Chu coalition forces and let them all stay in Qin. No one can escape back to Qi and Chu.”

Meng Yu ordered.

“Yes.”

The lieutenant responded and went down to pass the order.

…

Xiang Yan and Han Fei, with 500,000 Qi-Chu coalition forces, pursued the 50,000 Qin army led by Li Xin, and pursued them nearly 30 miles away.

But he was stopped by a large, winding river ten feet wide.

The water of this river is pitch black, the current is panting, and it is very deep at first glance.

And the fifty thousand soldiers led by Li Xin, who they were pursuing, had already arrived on the opposite side of the river on a prepared ferry.

Being very provocative, waving on the other side of the river.

As for those ferry boats, Qin Jun had also gathered together and set fire to them, and they were burning fiercely on the river.

“What will the general do now?”

Vanguard generals from both Qi and Chu came to ask Xiang Yan.

“What else can I do, this is a trap.”

Upon hearing the words of General Vanguard, Xiang Yan looked a little ugly, eyes reveal desperate.

“According to this general’s order, the whole army lined up to fight back, and the cavalry rushed back with the general, and the general didn’t believe it. The Qin army can keep all of our 500,000 troops behind.”

Then Xiang Yandao.

He finally reacted.

Whether it is backwards or to the left and right, it is their way of life.

Yi raised the spear in his hand and ordered.

“Yes.”

The Qi-Chu coalition army obeyed the command, and the 80,000 cavalrymen of the Qi-Chu coalition army followed him and rushed behind him.

But it was too late.

Wang Jia, Meng Gao, and Wang Jian have been encircled.

It was Qin’s most violent attack that greeted Xiang Yan.

The direction of Xiang Yan’s impact was the rear of Meng Yu’s defense.

Seeing Xiang Yan leading the cavalry rushing towards him, Meng Yu suddenly guessed Xiang Yan’s purpose.

“Unfortunately, it’s too late.”

Meng Yu sighed.

“According to the general’s order, the archer should go out and shoot the crossbow arrows in the crossbow box at the fastest speed.”

Then Meng Yu ordered.

Tens of thousands of shooters lined up in a neat array, and they pulled the trigger against the coalition forces of Qi and Chu who were rushing towards them.

Suddenly bursts of crossbow arrows, like locusts, fell towards the coalition forces of Qi and Chu.

Every crossbow arrow that fell could take the life of a Qi-Chu coalition soldier.

The cavalrymen of the Qi and Chu two coalition forces rushing in the direction of Meng Yu, they and their horses fell to the ground in batches.

However, Xiang Yan was careless for a while, and the soldiers around him were too late to rescue. After evading a few crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows directly shot by the Qin archer hit the chest and fell under the horse.

A generation of Chu State fighters fell in such an incomparable suffocation. *
