Ji Ying is the old Ying, and Jingzhou, where the Qinnan County County is located, is just the Li Palace of the former royal palace: Zhu Palace. Ji Ying was once the capital of the Chu State for hundreds of years. There were more than 20 Chu kings and more nobles of the Mi surname buried outside the city.

The initial combat plan of the Grand Sima Mansion was to pull out Jingling and go straight to Yancheng and Dengyi along the Han River. By pulling out Dengyi, you can build Xiang and Fancheng on both sides of the Han River. However, the later combat plan became larger and larger, so whether from the war level or from the spiritual level, Ji Ying must not be defeated.

And naturally, Xiong Jing can only lead Ying's troops to be eliminated. Once Ji Ying is eliminated, it means that Chu State has recovered the old land of Ying. Not only the Chu army, but also the Chu people in the east of Dabie Shandong will be angry.

"How about Ji Ying?" Xiong Jing asked. Last night, the Chu army rowed overnight and had an inexplicable encounter with the Qin army in the morning. Today, they could only camp in Jingling and sleep for a night, so that they could go to Ji Ying tomorrow.

"Report to the king, several warships in the wings of the wings were sent to Jiying yesterday, and there will be rewards tomorrow." Nao Xin replied. Jiying is about 300 miles away from Jingling, and this distance is marching at the speed of the warships in the wings of the wings, which is a day or night.

"Tomorrow's day, I will lead my troops north." Speaking of tomorrow's day, E Jun happily told me. Eleven divisions, subtracting the four divisions of Ying's class, the remaining seven divisions will be more than 50,000 people against the Han River. "If there are not enough soldiers of the great king, I will..."

E Junle looked at the generals present, and everyone laughed happily. Being able to participate in the Battle of Jiying is a glory for each division. As long as Xiong Jing needs it, their soldiers and even themselves will fight to the battle.

"The Ying army is enough." Xiong Jing also laughed. It was not that he was unhappy to distribute the glory of regaining Ji Ying to each division, but that along the Han River north was an extremely important link in the entire combat plan. Jingling went 550 miles to Dengyi and 840 miles to Wancheng. The Chu army on the southern route attacked the Han River and attacked the city and Bayi. It must reach Wancheng within 20 days to cover the rear of the Chu army on the northern route. Starting from Jingling, the Chu army advanced at least forty miles a day. Although it was a water route, it was impossible to tell whether it was a marching or a war at this speed.

"It is reported that Zhu Palace is the territory of the Qin people's county, and is also located on the river. It has tens of thousands of Lingshi Zhoushi. If the Qin generals are sent here, the Qin people will be used as equipment. I only hope that the king will travel peacefully..." E Junle seemed to have surpassed the rituals of the king and his ministers. Yingshi was good at fighting, but he was worried about Xiong Jing's accident.

"Cough cough..." The Right Shi was cleared and heard the coughing sound, and E Junle stopped talking. "The heart of the minister can be seen by the sun and the moon." E Junle's lyrics did not express his meaning, so he could only keep silting Xiong Jing.

"It's okay." Xiong Jing said to E Junle and to others. He didn't care whether the Qin people in Jingzhou knew that the Chu army was attacking in large numbers. Instead, he hoped that they knew that they were attacking, and hoped that they had summoned countless soldiers, and hoped that they set up a solid city defense, and then everything was defeated by themselves and completely crushed.

In fact, he was unable to vent his anger. He hated the Qin people, especially every Qin people who did not belong to this place but moved here. Each of them represented sin in his eyes. He even wanted to raise his sword from the east gate of Jingling City to the west gate of Jingling City, and cut off all the heads of these people. But he was a king, so he shouldn't do these things.

On a heavy breathing and a sleepless rainy night, he asked the servants who served to sing an ancient, difficult-to-understand Chu song, and then fell asleep in the song. The next day, the sky was about to dawn, and the two Chu troops set out to advance. The advantage of the five-padded wing warships over the three-padded wing warships is that the five oars can row faster in a short time, or maintain a row of fifty miles per hour longer. At this speed, a voyage of three hundred miles can be reached in just six hours.

Seeing that he had not met Zhou Ji along the road, Xiong Jing guessed that Jingzhou had received an alarm from the enemy's attack, but it was also possible that the stern wing warship that went to investigate terrorized the Qin people. When he was about to leave Jinglingze, the stern wing warship that was investigating appeared in front.

"How about the Qin people?" Xiong Jing looked at the scout who was bowing to the shogunate.

"The Qin people have already equipped it." The soldiers and warships carried war horses, and the knights surrounded Jiangling. "The gate of Jingzhou was closed, and it was impossible to pass unless the county magistrate ordered the talisman. However, the Qin people did not know where our army came from, so they were guarding both sides."

"Oh." Xiong Jing didn't say anything, just wiping his sword. Zhuang Wudi and other advisers were very concerned about the scouts' words. "How many soldiers are there in the city? How many food and fodder are there..."

The city defense map of Jiangling City has long been placed on Xiong Jing's cases, but some changes cannot be completely confirmed, which is what Zhuang Wudi and others want to know. There is a scout's investigation of himself, and more of the information coming from the city. Based on this information, everyone has a clear understanding of the situation in Jiangling.

After all, Jiangling is the county seat and is surrounded by the river in the south. The Qin army stationed there with it is no less than 30,000. As the former ship official site of Chu State, most of the more than 30,000 Qin soldiers were shipped by the Chu Army. The Chu army launched a large-scale attack on Nanjun, and thousands of residents in the city had been summoned. One household should have more than 10,000 people, and the troops were not under the Ying Army, but they would have surpassed the Ying Army. It would be fine if the Qin people left the city to fight decisively, but if they did not leave, the 30,000 Ying Army would face a tragic street battle.

"If you are the ministers, the Qin people will not go to war." Zhuang Wudi said after discussing with the counselors.

"That's a street battle." Xiong Jing didn't care at all. He liked street battles. But this war liked it.

"If it is a street battle, our army..." The strategists were worried about casualties. If the formation battle was won, there would be more than a thousand casualties, or even a few hundred. The casualties in street battles would definitely be several times that of this number. Especially since Jiangling City was full of Qin people, the Chu army would kill all the Qin people, and the resistance would be very tenacious.

"So what about street fighting?" Yang Wei glanced at the other division commanders. "Our army has complicated formations and there is no fun in fighting. It is better to fight melee, street fighting, and slash and slash with swords!"

"In this way, our army's casualties will increase several times." Yingli was also in the shogunate. He wanted to follow Xiong Jing tightly, worried that Xiong Jing would lose his personal battle. Yingli said in one sentence and pushed Yang Zi back. He said again: "Sha Xian has only more than a thousand Chu girls. This place is far from Chu territory. The generals suffered too much casualties. How can they continue their children? With Qin girls?"

"If the Qin people do not go out to fight, our army will have to break through the city and fight in the streets." Xiong Jing said. "Jiangling will be pulled out for at most two days. In this way, the Ying army can catch up with the troops. Since the sky is not dark at this time, I will send a letter of war and invite the Qin people to fight tomorrow. If they don't fight, they will surrender. If they don't surrender, they will all die!" After Xiong Jing said that, he stabbed the desk with a sword, and the sword tip was penetrated by an inch and quickly took it back.

As a surrendered general, Tengqi naturally knew that he could not lead the troops again. Since he was a surrendered general, he might rebel Qin at any time. What he expected was to have some achievements in Nanjun so that he could get the praise of the King of Qin. The King of Qin also needed a new person and a person outside the system to rectify Nanjun, which had been a long-standing malpractice. Just like Shang Yang's reform in Qin, only foreigners would not be tied to the original relationship and could only swing their swords to remove some people who had long been eliminated but had not been eliminated.

Unfortunately, less than three months after taking office, Tengqi's mission ended. The Chu army launched a large-scale attack on Nanjun, and Yang Xiong Yu Jingling was defeated by the Chu army. He fled quickly and knew that his chariot could not escape the Chu warships that were pursued by the water. After walking a few miles north, he rode a horse and led several generals to attack Jingzhou.

Tengqi originally did not believe the news that the King of Chu appeared in Jingling, but Yang Xiong was so embarrassed that it would be impossible to joke about knocking the Jingzhou city gate late at night. The Chu army attacked in a large scale, and in one battle it defeated the 50,000 county soldiers he summoned. If the Chu army did not go north and west towards him...

Tengqi was a military general. He had seen the Chu State's weapon to break the city. If the Chu army did not go north and west, Jiangling would be pulled out by the Chu army. After making this judgment, his first thing was to quickly mobilize soldiers and food from nearby cities and towns. The second thing was to send envoys to all parties to ask for help to Xianyang to make an emergency. Finally, the city urgently summoned soldiers to strengthen the city defense and strictly prevent Chu spies.

Jiangling is not the capital, it is just a new city that was burned by the Qin army because of its strategic location and could not be moved to other places. It could only be built on the basis of Zhu Palace, the Chu State, ten miles away. For more than 40 years, the Qin State suppressed the Chu State, and it was not until the last few years that the Chu State threatened the Qin State. However, the former county magistrate Mi Shan, lazily governed the city defense and proposed to increase the city defense for several years, and the city that was three or six feet high was not increased by a foot.

At dusk, the rain that had been in recent days suddenly stopped, and the sky covered with lead clouds finally revealed the last glow of light, and the blood was as red as red. At this time, the Chu army's war letter was sent up by the soldiers. Although only twelve words were written on it, we are not polite:

If you fight tomorrow, you will surrender if you don’t fight. If you don’t surrender, you will die if you don’t surrender!

"What else does Jing people have to say?" Tengqi's heart sank. Zhan Shu was so murderous that he might die here.

"The Jing people said: Please remember Wang En, and do not interfere in the affairs of Jing Qin." The soldiers told him.

"Great misunderstanding! I am a Qin minister, and I always remember the kindness of the king. Why don't I interfere with the affairs of Jing and Qin?" Tengqi smiled, his smile a little stiff. He was a surrendered general. As soon as he learned that the Chu army was attacking, the county magistrate Zuo Ju and others looked at him with a guarded look.

"The Jing people's formation has no reason to change, so our army must not leave the city to fight!" Yang Xiong, the defeated general, shook his head vigorously after hearing the book of war. He had never seen the dance of the queue. The formation of the Chu army evolved from the dance of the queue is like a living creature with will, which can change its shape at will. He would rather guard the city until he starves to death.

"Our army will not go out of the city to fight." Tengqi said loudly, looking at the county magistrate Zuo Ju and the generals around him.

"However, our army will not leave the city and fight with the station, the Jing people will have weapons to break the city." Zuo Ju frowned.
