Chapter 62 Time

"There are birds in the south mountain (yo), and the north mountain is arranged.

The birds fly high (Yo), what about Luo Dang.

Birds and magpies fly together (yo), and the phoenix is ​​not happy..."

The last ray of rays of rays were about to go out, and the world suddenly became colder. Only at this time did the women who had collected millet and returned home from the field have free time to wash yarn beside the Ru River while taking advantage of the glimmer between the world.

There are birds in the south mountain, and the north mountain is arranged. This is Song song. It is said that the king of Song took over the wife of someone, but the husband and wife refused to follow him, and both sacrificed love. Although the song of Zheng Wei is popular in the world, this song of Song is sincere and the woman sang it with a unique feeling. The king of Song took over the wife of someone, but the war took over the husband. With the order of the county magistrate, all men in the neighborhood went to war for five feet to sixty. This was the most severe order in the past three years. Every family pounded clothes and everyone cried when they parted. I really don’t know when they would go home after such a trip.

"Qin... Qin people!" The sky became darker and darker, and someone suddenly screamed when the woman working and singing by the water.

"Ah——" The women screamed. The Qin people were comparable to tigers and wolves. They chopped men's heads and women's heads. Anyway, they saved them when they saw them, and killed them when they met. Everyone seemed like frightened birds, picked up their clothes and ran home.

"I, Chu Ren..." Xiang Chao, who drank a stomach full of water, sighed, feeling unfair.

In the afternoon, he encountered the Qin army. After several battles, a soldier all rode his horse and jumped on the Rushui River. The Rushui River was wide, and thirty people dispersed immediately. Xiang Chao could not swim. If he was not rescued by Cheng Kui, he might have been buried in the belly of the fish. The two were washed here by the river. When they heard the singing of the girl washing the silk, they came to see the sound. They didn't expect that the sky was too dark and could not see clearly, so they were regarded as Qin people.

"What should I do?" Cheng Kui is said to have been born on a boat. It was stormy and thunderstorms at the right time, just like a Kui beast entering the water, so it is called "Ki". It seems that swimming is naturally good. He was also helpless to respond to the girl who was washing the silk. If he had known it, he would not have been so polite to bow and catch people directly.

"Is this the territory of Xincai County?" Xiang Chao vomited a few more mouthfuls of river water, then touched his head. When the water was not over, he no longer had the calmness immediately, and was finally knocked unconscious by Cheng Kui.

"It should be." Cheng Kui has always been sober. "General can watch Lu Li in the mirror and see where there are lights."

"Don't call me general, call me Ziyong." Xiang Chao said loudly. Yong was the word he took for himself. When he touched Lu Lijing, he saw the lights. To be more precise, it was not the lights, it was a group of soldiers under the lights.

"The king is in the Sang Tunnel?" Xincai County Yin Pan You looked at Xiang Chao in a mess, and Cheng Kui was a little disbelief. However, more and more knights were 'accused' by the county soldiers, and these people all said so.

"Of course. Please ask the county magistrate to lead the army to rescue him quickly." Xiang Chao had already revealed his identity. Although he had led the Qin people away, the other side of Rushui was full of Qin cavalry, and the king might be discovered by the Qin people.

"If the king is in Sang Tunnel, I will lead the army to rescue him," Pan You slapped his thigh hard: "I have no boats and oars in Xincai!" Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, he said again: "The day before yesterday, the general gathered troops in Xieyi, and all the boats and oars in the county are recruited..."

"I dare to ask the county duke, what's going on in Xieyi?" Xiang Chao couldn't help asking.

"I was in battle yesterday, and I don't know the outcome." Xin Cai was not on the Huai River and was not clear about the situation of the Jiyi Battle. Xin Cai's mission was to gather troops to protect the Chu people migrated to the east bank of the Rushui River. The alliance turned into a sudden war, and the people could only retreat to cities near Rushui for a while. After the war, Jiyi could gather the main force and fight a decisive battle with the enemy troops in the Rushui direction.

"There is no news?" Xiang Chao was a little disappointed. The alliance was an effort, but the Qin people had no intention of alliance. Since that was the case, they could only rely on war. If the battle in Jiyi was lost, then...

Xiang Chaoxin drifted to Jiyi more than 200 miles away, but the decisive battle between the Chu and Qin armies was not in Jiyi, but between the two Huai Rivers. After the king crossed the Huai River, he used the Chu army's usual wooden bridge over the other Huai River more than 60 miles away. They stood there, the horn where Xiong Jing was surrounded, sealed the retreat for the Qin army to cross the river.

Li Xin defeated the troops and led 15,000 guards to rescue him, but 15,000 guards could not defeat 30,000 guards, and finally had to retreat to Jiyi. To the east of the Huai River, the Chu army, who had all crossed the first Huai River, compressed more than 100,000 Qin troops into the lower left corner of the trapezoid with Tongbai Mountain as the bottom and Huai River as the edge. Ninety-nine thousand people surrounded 130,000 people, and trapped beasts were fighting, let alone people. The most important thing was that the Qin army had not yet cut off food, and there was no shortage of water around the Huai River. Both sides held each other in this way, and they were all red in their eyes.

"Do not the Qin people surrender?!Do not the Qin people surrender?!Do not the Qin people surrender?Do not the Qin people surrender?Do not the descending..." When the sun set, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers shouted loudly, and the birds returning to their nests flew up again. The sound was reflected by the obstruction of Dafu Mountain, which sounded across the entire Jiyi Basin.

The surrounded Qin army was silent. The Chu army could only see the part of Qin army exposed outside. More Qin army was shrunk under Dafu Mountain, which was dim and there was no sound or movement.

"Kill--!" The people who asked the Qin people whether to surrender were county soldiers who had just learned the spear formation. After asking, they had already arranged their formation and began to sprint with their spears. This is not killing, it is just a practice, practicing how to kill, this practice lasted from yesterday to today.

"General, the Qin people will not surrender." Peng Zong, the Sima of the Army standing beside Xiang Yan, was worried that the Chu army would have to return to the Huai River after the war, so we should not waste too much time here.

"The leading general Zhao Shan is dead, why didn't the Qin people surrender?" Xiang Yan asked a very simple question. The Chu army has won three consecutive battles, but this time it was an annihilation battle. Xiang Yan wanted to capture these people. The Chu State, which had been fighting for years, needs manpower.

"Most of the chief officials of the Qin army were from the Changping War, and they were afraid of following in the footsteps of the Zhao army." Peng Zong said helplessly. The backbone of the Qin army was the soldiers from the Battle of Changping 24 years ago. Although the old soldiers were always in decline, the 25-year-old strong soldiers were only 49 years old this year, and the 15-year-old young soldiers were only 39 years old this year. If these people could live to this day, they might even become the chief of the garrison, 500. It would be impossible for them to surrender, especially the current situation is very similar to the Battle of Changping, which makes them more likely to be recalled.

"General, I thought I should let go of my life." Li Qi from the Operations Department also came to Xie Yi. He did not expect that the king's soldiers could block the Qin army between the two Huai Rivers at such a fast speed.

"No." Peng Zong opposed: "Li Xin was in Jiyi, and Jiyi also had food and fodder. The morale of the two armies should be greatly boosted. Moreover, Jiyi is surrounded by mountains, and there is not no path."

"The army Sima was wrong." Li Qi felt that Peng Zong's idea of ​​total annihilation was too short-sighted. "The Qin army in Jiyi is just the weakest of the three Qin troops. Our army must fight quickly. The besieged troops must be Que. How many Qin soldiers can escape from Quekou? So what if tens of thousands of defeated troops meet with Li Xin? Our army left 100,000 people and followed suit. How many can the Qin army retreat to Qin territory?"

"When will Xianyang know the defeat of the Qin army?" Both of them said something reasonable, and Xiang Yan had to ask about time. Time is the most critical. Shangcai and Daliang Qin army should attack after they learned the results of the alliance in Xianyang. Jiyi went to Xianyang for more than a thousand miles, and the king's order was sent from Xianyang to Shangcai and Daliang, and another thousand miles.

The Chu army next launched the Ao Cang and Guhan Battles. The normal march of the Great Wings warships will reach Xiangcheng at least three days before they can reach the front line. In addition, three days will be required to allow the soldiers to rest fully, so that will take six days. It has been four days since the alliance, and the decisive battle is the second day.

"I know that the officials of the State Council once said that the Qin army's post horses did not work at night, and only traveled 300 miles a day." Li Qie said.

"If it's also possible at night, how many miles can it work?" Xiang Yan asked again.

"May travel five hundred miles." Li Qi said. "If so, the King of Qin would have known that the alliance was defeated yesterday. At this time, the Qin army was on the way to invade my king's order. General, our army should not be delayed here for too long. It is best to order the Zhou army to return to Xiangcheng tomorrow."

"I'll go back tomorrow?" Xiang Yan was also surprised. He thought he had at least two days left.

"That's right." Li Qi said. "If the Qin army could capture Ao Cang before the invasion of the territory, the Qin army might not dare to attack us, and the Wei and Han countries should be even more disinterested."

"If the alliance fails, how could the King of Qin know that our army dares to attack the Qin army first?" Peng Zong asked. "The news came to Xianyang, and the King of Qin could not agree on a plan to attack Chu on the same day. It would always delay the news of Jiyi again for one or two days before the order to attack Chu."

Peng Zong didn't know how Qin State discussed matters, so he could only judge it with common sense. After all, the attack of the 800,000 army must always be more cautious. Unfortunately, if it were other countries, this would be correct, but Qin State was not like this.

The news of the failure of the Jiyi Alliance was suppressed by Changping Jun Xiong Qi for a day, and it was only sent to Xianyang early the next morning. At dusk today, after running a few Yima to death, the news finally reached the Qutai Palace in Xianyang. Zhao Zheng, who relied on the method of water roasting, recovered gradually. After seeing the news from Jiyi, his face turned pale in an instant. Under the net of heaven and earth, King Jing actually escaped from the water and ran away.

"What kind of iron cavalry are the Jing people?!" Looking at the national lieutenant Huan Shi who arrived hurriedly, Zhao Zheng said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

"King," Huan Qiong didn't understand why. "This is my Qin cavalry."

"Chouqin? My Qin Dynasty's Chouqin?" Zhao Zheng was a little disbelief. Li Xin described the Jing people's iron cavalry as almost invincible, and he thought he was scared.

"That's right." Huan Qi said: "In the past, Duke Mu dominated the Western Rong, and there was no way to the grassland and the chariot was difficult to move. So he ordered Dalian Chow to ride, and there were thousands of Chow to ride..."

"What about now? Where are these thousands of riders?" Zhao Zheng asked anxiously.

Huan Qi did not answer first, and when Zhao Zheng asked again, he said, "I have written a letter to say that it is difficult to train the cavalry, and it is impossible for the children of the royal family to become cavalry, so... Therefore, all the reforms were abolished." The reforms were politically correct in Qin. After Huan Qi said that, "It is not because of the reforms. Although Duke Mu had cavalry, it gradually decreased, and only a few hundred later."
