Chapter 420 Xiang Zhuang's Conspiracy
The city wall is about to be lost.
Once the Qin army breaks a section of the city wall, the impact on the soldiers guarding the city will be fatal. In Nanwu City, except for Mei Juan’s Baiyue soldiers, most of the Changsha soldiers were forced to fight for the Meiyue tribe. If the Qin soldiers who were attacking were not blocked in time, the Changsha soldiers would most likely disperse immediately.
Mei Juan's face was as gloomy as water.
The incompetence of the Changsha soldiers made him feel sad and angry that he was about to vomit blood and die.
But now, apart from these cannon fodder soldiers, what did he use to consume the Qin army's vitality? Did he send out the elite soldiers of the Five Ridges and Baiyue? No, after suffering a great loss, Mei Juan has become much more cautious.
Now, he only has one trump card.
Mei Juan had no way of knowing whether there were any other weapons in the hands of the Qin army on the other side.
"Come on, call a team of archers up and shoot volleys to the left. There is no order, so don't stop!" Mei Juan thought for a moment, showed a fierce look on his face, and shouted loudly.
The Baiyue tribes.
The most powerful weapon is bows and arrows. Compared with the Qin army's precise crossbow making, Yue bows have taken another way, that is, they are simple or simple.
The most common bamboo in the jungle and mountains are made into arrow branches, the hard walnut wood, Chinese locust wood, etc. in the forest are made into wooden bows, and then the pointed head of the arrow is coated with poisonous snake juice. Although such a sharp arrow is simple and cannot compete with the Qin army with obvious technical advantages in terms of lethality, it can also be blocked with blood and give the opponent the maximum damage.
The soldiers of Baiyue.
Good at shooting.
The former Qin State Wei Tu Sui died under the poisonous arrows of the Baiyue people. This time, Mei Juan used his plan again, but he did not expect that his opponent would shoot the Qin army, who was killed by his own people, and were killed in the city. Even the bravest military marquis covered his chest and stared at a pair of unwilling eyes and fell into a pool of blood. Around him, the Changsha soldiers fell to the ground. They probably couldn't figure out how they were shot on their backs in the end.
Relying on the extremely cruel volley, Mei Juan's army once again suppressed the Qin army's momentum, and after losing the most elite part, Ji Bu's army's siege the next day had to end in failure.
Battle for city walls.
It is still in the hands of Mei Juan's army. After two days of fierce battle, the Changsha soldiers in Mei Juan's hands have dropped sharply from more than 10,000 at the beginning to less than 6,000. In other words, nearly 4,000 Changsha soldiers lost their lives in this battle. Even if they were not killed by the Qin army, they would be shot and killed by their own indiscriminate arrows.
"Mi Yue Warrior, invincible!"
"Invincible!"
In the city, cheers were heard in the city. The unrestrained Baiyue soldiers excitedly raised the bamboo arrows and wooden guns in their hands, and in sharp contrast to them were the numb and ruthless faces of the Changsha soldiers next to them.
The fate of cannon fodder has long been doomed.
If you want to change your ending, the Changsha soldiers will not fight back and fight back against the Mei Yue people who enslaved them. But do they dare?
Do they have the courage?
The answer lies in their own hearts.
Mei Juan was not interested in caring about the Changsha soldiers' thoughts, but was just a group of lowly slaves. And being able to repel the Qin army in the bloody battle on the second day was Mei Juan's most excited thing.
After the war the next day was over, Mei Juan also realized that Ji Bu was actually holding on to the Qin army. The morale of the Qin army, which had severely reduced its personnel, was gradually declining, and it was no longer as sharp as the previous month.
Now we are comparing who can persist for a longer time.
Fortunately, although Mei Juan worked hard to defend the city, he still had a secret trick to wait. That was the Xiangzhuang army, which had ambushed on the flank of the Qin army early in the morning.
Xiang Zhuang was more eager and even more crazy to defeat the Qin army than Mei Juan. Over the past year, Xiang Zhuang, who was in love with the idea of Fu Chu, wandered around like a broken dog under the pursuit of the Qin army. This lonely feeling of living under the roof made Xiang Zhuang full of strong hatred for the Qin people.
Over the past month, Xiangzhuang's troops have been replenishing their strength, especially after annexing and digesting 5,000 Changsha soldiers, and finally returned to the scale of 7,000 people, which has once again given Xiangzhuang the strength to take the initiative to attack.
——.
On the banks of Gan River.
The drizzle of days has caused the water volume of this river to rise rapidly, and the Qin army camp camp camps camped on the riverside has to migrate to the highlands near the mountains and forests.
Among the forests.
Danger is everywhere.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, the hidden danger has not happened yet. If you continue to stay by the river, then one night, the violent rapids will wash away the entire military camp.
In the camp.
The busy military doctors are shuttled back and forth to treat the wounded. In the hot weather, once the wound becomes suppurated, it will bring a series of bad consequences.
The vanguard general of the Qin army, Ji Bu, was sitting in the central army's tent exhausted at this time. His shoulders were exposed, and layers of cloth were wrapped around him. During the war just now, unfortunately, a ravine fell from somewhere on the city and was tied on Ji Bu's shoulder.
If it weren't for this unlucky Liuya, Ji Bu might have been able to better dispatch troops and expand the opportunity he had finally obtained before Mei Juan.
However, the chance on the battlefield is so unreasonable and simple. Fortunately, this rookie is not poisonous, otherwise Ji Bu would be the second Tu Sui.
A battle today.
Ji Bu felt the huge flaws of the traditional combat methods. Without powerful siege equipment and relying solely on the wooden tools made in a hurry, it would be difficult to deter the enemy from the enemy.
"If tomorrow is a sunny day, let the Tianlei troops dispatch. Maybe they can give surprises. If it is still a rainy day, then you can only wait for the reinforcements behind to come up." Ji Bu made up his mind secretly. At this time, he didn't know that the next night would be a night of life and death test.
——.
The moon enters the clouds.
It has long disappeared, but in the middle of the night, the light rain for many days has stopped, making people feel refreshed with a breath of pleasure.
Half of Xiang Zhuang's body was soaked in mud and water, wet and slippery, which made him feel very uncomfortable. If he hadn't drunk the herbs that Baiyue people used to take before leaving the battle, Xiang Zhuang would have been afraid that his body would not be able to withstand the cold and cold moisture in the south.
"This time, we must win and show the prestige of the Chu army. We also let those who underestimate themselves take a look. Only Xiang Zhuang can compete with the Qin army."
While thinking, Xiang Zhuang buried his head in the shallow stream. This cool feeling made him enjoy it and made his once silent mood excited again.
Since the defeat of Jiangdong, Xiang Zhuang has been low-key, but he has hardly expressed his opinions independently. It is this low-key that has quickly integrated Xiang Zhuang into the Baiyue tribes in Lingnan, and has also formed an extraordinary alliance with Mei Juan.
"The Qin army in front of him, the general who commanded the troops, turned out to be Ji Bu. This rebel, who had the face to bring the Qin people to the door, really doesn't want to live?" Xiang Zhuang's anger grew.
Ji Bu and he were colleagues of the Chu State in the past. Now, they are each their own masters. If there were not shameless surrendering generals like Ji Bu, Ding Gong, and Zhou Yin, Xiang Zhuang's restoration actions in Jiangdong would not have been setbacks. If these surrendering generals had not sold the interests of Chu State, how could the Qin army defeat Xiang Chu in a short time?
The more Xiang Zhuang thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Bu and others were hateful. This time, if there was a chance of revenge in front of him, how could he let it go?
It was completely dark.
In the Qin camp, torches were lit. The firelight could dispel the darkness and drive away mosquitoes and flies. At the same time, it could also detect the enemy's approaching in advance.
If Xiangzhuang's troops want to get close to the Qin camp, they must first avoid the Qin army scouts who were patrolling the camp outside. If they cannot, they must end the Qin army scouts in a very short time. Then, they will rush into the camp with all their might and take advantage of the time when the Qin people have not fully reacted, and slashed and killed them.
The plan to attack the Qin camp at night was agreed upon by Xiang Zhuang and Mei Juan early in the morning. After Xiang Zhuang led his troops to raid in, Mei Juan led the warriors of the Yue tribe out of Nanba City. In this way, even if Ji Bu had the ability to do everything, he could not resist the long-planned attack.
