The continuous autumn rain continued to go south. When the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains began to clear, Fangcheng and Jiuying became drizzling. As soon as it rained, there were no stars in the sky. Light drizzle fell on the blue-black sky, hitting the raincoat and oozing the armor, with a deep chill.

Xiong Jing is not unfamiliar with rain. That year, Fu Ying was in Xiayi, and when Shaxian was waiting for attack on the Yangtze River, it was raining constantly. However, the dissatisfaction under his crotch hated the wet weather, and kept sniffing and breathing in restlessness to express his dissatisfaction with the autumn rain. Xiong Jing comforted it, regardless of whether the horse could understand it, murmured in its ears: "It's dawn, it's dawn..."

"King..." A voice sounded behind the darkness, and it was Nao Xin.

"What's the matter?" Xiong Jing heard it was Nao Xin's voice, and felt that he had brought bad news again. Yes, it must be bad news.

"The Qin people's boat troops marched eastward, and Juyi has abandoned them." It was indeed bad news, Xiong Jing smiled bitterly in the darkness.

"Where is Zuokai?" Xiong Jing asked Zuokai. He has been in charge of the Western Front in the past few days since the Battle of Daze.

"Zuo Ao has abandoned the boat and led the Yue army to retreat to Zhudi." Nao Xin said. "He said that the Qin people's boat army had a formation, but they could not win the battle, so they had to abandon the boat and retreat."

"Formation?! What kind of formation?" Xiong Jing became more and more surprised. Originally, the Yue Shi Zhoushi was pressing against the Qin people. In a few days, the Qin people's boat master had the formation. The Yue Shi was unable to win and had to evacuate the Mianshui. He could not imagine what kind of formation forced the Yue Shi to abandon the boat and land.

"I haven't said it." Nao Xin knew what kind of formation Xiong Jing would ask, but Xunwen did not explain in detail. "He said that when the Qin people went east, they had sent people to Juyi and Nanzheng told the news. Even though Juyi abandoned him, Nanzheng should not be lost."

Nanzheng is not as important as Juyi, and Juyi is not as important as Zhudi. Zhudi controls the water and land routes into Shu, and once it is lost, the Qin army will attack Bashu. At present, it seems that the Qin army cannot stop it. The Qin army went south to Bashu, and the Xishi and other four and a half divisions will have little meaning to defend the dead, and they are deeply surrounded and may die in battle on the left bank of Mianshui.

Thinking of losing four and a half more teachers, Xiong Jing's mood became darker.

"I, I will leave." Before the attack, Nao Xin reported a bad news. His scalp became harder and harder, but he had finished speaking.

"Where is the Fifth Division of Jinggui at this time?" Xiong Jing asked Jinggui again.

"There is no news. If you don't go to Nanzheng today, tomorrow will be coming." One thousand six hundred miles went upstream, up to three hundred miles a day. It has passed in the middle of the night. Today is the sixth day of the Battle of Daze. Today, the fifth division of the Zhu family should be able to go to Nanzheng today.

"How about the big-wing gunboat?" Xiong Jing asked about the big-wing gunboat again. If the Qin people did not block the Mianshui waterway, the big-wing gunboat might be able to regain control of the waterway from Nanzheng to Yuguan.

"The boat building site has been built, and each one is built, it will sail out of the boat and go straight to Nanzheng." Nao Xin replied. "However, Yingdu has more than two thousand miles from Nanzheng, and it will take ten days to sail to Nanzheng. It may take ten days to gather more than ten days to gather more than ten days. There will be no twenty days..."

"Get back." After all the questions asked, Xiong Jing asked Nao Xin to retreat. His only hope was to build the mansion to build as many large-winged gunboats as possible, and then take back control of the upstream of the Mian River while the Qin army was unprepared. It doesn't matter whether the Qin army enters Bashu or not. What's important is to control the Mian River connecting Bashu and Qin. As long as the Mian River is in his own hands, the corn from Shu will not be able to be transported to Guanzhong.

As for the more than 30,000 people of the Xishi Division, they could only rescue from the Baoxia Road before the gunboat arrived, but Jinggui could really do it? He would not be blocked by the Qin army in the Baoxia Road and the newly opened road? Meng Tian had more than 100,000 Qin troops under his command.

"King, it's going to dawn." Gui Jing reminded him that he had been standing beside Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing was smiling bitterly as he spoke. He felt that on the Western Front, the Chu army was like a traveler falling off a cliff. He fell half dead and was suddenly entangled by the vines under the cliff, and was able to survive, but it was only for a moment that he would fall into the abyss helplessly.

Yes, the abyss! Nearly 200,000 people were killed or divided, and the only warable soldiers in Chu State were left with 26 divisions and more than 160,000. Even if the remaining troops of Zhao, Wei and Qi Kingdom were added, the troops were less than 250,000. These 250,000 people had to guard a three thousand-mile-long defense line...

"King..." Gui Jing thought Xiong Jing had not heard him, so when he spoke again Xiong Jing raised his left hand.

The sky gradually became brighter in the drizzle, and nothing could be seen in the night. When the dusk gradually dissipated, the Chu army wrapped in the night revealed its true appearance. The Ying army, the Xiang army, the E army, the Ruoao family jockey,..., except for the more than 4,000 cavalrymen arranged on the western front, all the cavalrymen of the Chu army were concentrated here.

Xiong Jing had no hope for the Western Front before, and he has been following Li Xin these days.

Ye Yi abandoned the guards, Guanguan abandoned the guards, Yangqiu abandoned the guards, Echeng abandoned the guards, and even the center of Fangcheng, Wancheng abandoned the guards. The last time Li Xin attacked Fangcheng, Shouyou was completely gone. This time, he heard that Li Xin attacked Fangcheng again, and all the Chu army was transferred to Nanzheng. The frightened commoners did not collect grain during the season of harvesting grain. They dragged their families and their families to move south. The official roads and waterways were full of migrant commoners.

Li Xin's army entering Fangcheng did not slaughter the people as they did last time. What the Qin army cared more about was the mature millet seedlings in the fields. Therefore, the Qin army accompanied the Qin army to advance by tens of thousands of new land Qianshou recruited from Han. They all carried sickles and cut the mature millet seedlings in the fields cleanly whenever they went. The cut millet people took cattle and transported them all back to Xiangcheng outside Fangcheng.

When the country was famine, they would eat other countries. The Qin people were already familiar with this routine. Although the people in the Han area hated the rule of the Qin people, when the Qin army led them into the Chu area and looted, the people immediately changed their faces and became excited. In addition to harvesting millet, the clothes, utensils, hidden farm tools, and poultry left behind were all swept away by them, as if locusts had eaten.

"King, it's dawn." Gui Jing didn't say anything. I wonder why the second division commander, who had not given the order, led Jingsheng and said again.

"The Second Division is for the front army, let it go and advance!" Xiong Jing put down his left hand, and the drizzle stopped. In front of him was a field of crops left after harvest. In the era without ditches, the roots of the millet seedlings seemed to be weeds, one cluster after another, and the barren loess was soaked in the rain. Thirty miles away was the place where the two armies fought last year: Xiangcheng.
