Chapter 148 Oath to Kill Ying Zheng(1/2)
The king who ruled the world.
The army that is keen on fighting.
Confident will.
Shocking scene.
It seems that the picture will be frozen forever at this time and will be spread forever.
In the distance, the four Taoist people watched closely, with more or less shock remaining in their expressions.
"This is the Qin army today!" Huang Shigong said softly.
There was a little shock, because this was stronger than the Qin army he knew, and it made him a little scared.
"The sixth generation of Yu Lie, in his hands, the Qin army reached its true peak at this time." Bei Mingzi said quietly.
The other three nodded one after another. The real peak was not their praise, but the facts.
The battles and victory in succession, the five countries were destroyed, and the world was about to unify, the existence of the Imperial Academy, etc., completely pushing this almost invincible iron-blooded army to another level.
They had no doubt that anything would be torn to pieces in front of them.
Not far away, Xiong Qi was also secretly frightened and even more grateful.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to confront him head-on.
Then, it was the excitement that I was about to get what I wanted after years of hard work.
Looking at the majestic figure at the highest point of the dot-stop, a curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ying Zheng, no matter how strong you are, no matter how strong the Qin army is, you will definitely lose.
...
Finally, the army set out.
Because they know that now is just the beginning, not the end.
The vast torrent goes south.
They are the forwards of attacking Chu.
Gu Xuan kept watching them go away before returning to the central tent and preparing for the departure.
On April 27, Gu Xuan led the remaining 250,000 troops to head south.
The journey went smoothly, and within a few days, Gu Xuan received news that the Chu army began to retreat, as if they had completely given up on those cities.
In response, Gu Xuan ordered that the forwards could tentatively attack those cities.
The war has begun completely.
The 150,000 vanguard army attacked the Chu city, and was invincible and without much obstacle, so they occupied one city after another.
After Gu Xuan received the news, he summoned all the generals to discuss.
Gu Xuan's central tent gathered.
"King, this Yan is indeed well-known. I know that our army is in high spirits and will not fight our army head-on.
It should have been just an illusion, and the real purpose was to lead our army into depth and use the vast territory of Chu to deal with us." Wang Jian pointed to a huge map and said to Gu Xuan.
The 150,000 vanguard army was led by Yang Ruihe. The 250,000 were said to be led by Gu Xuan himself, but in fact, Wang Jian was led by Wang Jian.
The generals nodded one after another. In fact, this was also the norm for the Chu army to fight against the Qin army after Confession was born.
The Chu army knew it well and knew that it was not an opponent, so they used their vast territory to disperse the Qin army's troops, greatly increasing its logistics pressure and waiting for an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
It is understandable that Xiang Yan does this, it is normal, and they will do this.
The original tendency to fight to the death with them was abnormal.
Gu Xuan nodded and pondered: "In this way, is the general confident?"
"Return to the king, the king is here in person. Our army is very morale and invincible. We will be absolutely sure of it." Wang Jian responded immediately, full of confidence.
He paused, and hesitated, "But there is one thing that must be guaranteed to be complete."
"Logistics?" Gu Xuan said in a word.
"The king is wise." Wang Jian immediately said respectfully: "When our army enters deeper, the Chu army will definitely attack our food supply route and trap our army in the mainland of Chu."
Gu Xuan nodded slowly, glanced at the person in the big tent, and said in a deep voice: "Jun Changping, you will be in charge of the rear and preside over the overall situation. You must ensure the safety of the food channel."
Xiong Qi was overjoyed, although he knew that in this case, he was the best candidate.
After all, there are civil servants in the stable rear. As the prime minister, who else would he be?
Unless Ying Zheng stayed by himself, he had no intention of staying behind, but judging from his style.
But when I heard this order, I was still overjoyed.
The plan goes well.
"I will not let the food road be in trouble." Xiong Qi said solemnly under the excitement.
"Wang Ben, I will give you 20,000 iron cavalry to protect the food road." Gu Xuan looked at a young general again and said majestic.
"The last general will receive the order." The heroic and powerful Wang Ben immediately bowed and responded.
Then he discussed some other things and made an order to continue moving forward.
On May 6, Gu Xuan continued to lead the army forward, leaving Xiong Qi and others to stay in the rear.
Then it continued, and this situation continued for nearly two months.
The 500,000 army of Chu State continued to retreat, while the 150,000 vanguard Qin army advanced with the trend and occupied those cities.
The 250,000 Qin troops led by Gu Xuan were pressing the formation and followed.
By June 26, the Qin army had penetrated hundreds of miles deep into Chu.
At this time, the Chu army no longer retreated.
The 500,000 army was ready for battle, as if they were going to fight the Qin army.
The vanguard Qin army no longer advances, waiting to meet with Gu Xuan.
On July 1st, the two armies merged, and the Qin army had about 360,000 troops.
The remaining more than 30,000 people were distributed among dozens of captured cities.
Although there were more than 100,000 fewer people than the Chu army, their morale and momentum were even better than those of the Chu army.
The two armies confronted each other.
Qin army, central tent.
"King, now our army has penetrated more than 500 miles, and this depth is enough. Xiang Yan seems to be going to fight our army in a decisive battle." Wang Jian said calmly.
"Decisive battle." Gu Xuan said softly, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Then let's have a decisive battle."
Wang Jian also smiled, quite like a fox succeeding.
Both of them looked to the north, where they were coming.
Almost at the same time.
Among the 500,000 Chu army camps.
In the central tent, the commander of the Chu army, Xiang Yan, met with him.
"Brother Tian, are you sure?" Xiang Yan's calm expression showed a hint of expectation and excitement.
"I'm sure." The man nodded heavily, with a little excited expression, "Two days ago, I met you and I have confirmed it.
On August 1st, one month later, the king will raise an army to cut off the Qin army's retreat.
At that time, it was the time when the weather was hot and the Qin army's military rations were almost exhausted.
It won’t take long to wipe out the Qin army.”
"Okay." Xiang Yan smashed his right fist hard on his left palm and said excitedly: "Just settle, the Qin army is defeated."
"Yeah." The man nodded again and said solemnly: "General, I wonder how the masters are prepared? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must try our best to keep Ying Zheng here."
"Don't worry, the king, the emperor and the others support it. Our Chu masters almost all came out. Even the great sages such as the King's Gong Yan Neiwei and the Nangong have come. They will definitely be able to keep Ying Zheng in Chu." Xiang Yan said firmly.
As long as the 400,000 Qin troops were wiped out, Ying Zheng would be killed.
The Qin State will be in chaos, and wars will spread everywhere in some places. At that time, it may be an opportunity for the rise of Chu State.
"That's great. All six elders and six masters of my farmhouse have come.
With so many masters here, Ying Zheng could not fly." The man said solemnly. He was the farmer Kui Tianguang.
Once the Qin army collapsed, Ying Zheng would inevitably flee back to Qin under the escort of Qin masters.
At this time, the army's pursuit was ineffective. There must be a large number of masters to kill Ying Zheng.
"By the way, several Taoist masters and Xunzi and others?" Suddenly, Xiang Yan frowned and feared.
The higher the status, the more you know the strength of those people.
To be continued...
