From the perspective of Mengwu, the Jing crossbow standing on the west gate of Chengyang City is like a giant. The two square boxes where the curled cow tendons are the giant's chest, the crossbow arm connected to the square is the giant's arms, and the bracket below is the giant's thighs. The two-meter-long chute looks inconspicuous due to the angle, and you can only see the black shot mouth.

The crossbow soldiers did not stop when the soldiers were dragging the silk rope. Their attempt was to shoot and kill the Qin generals under the banner two hundred steps away, so they landed one arrow closer to the central army where Meng Wu was located than one arrow. Unfortunately, the crossbow arrows used at this time instead of the special arrows, and the crossbow arrows were not specially made standard arrows, and the shooting parameters of each arrow landing were different.

However, the main general Chen Gai's purpose was achieved. Every time Jing crossbow shot an arrow, the Chu army on the city and under the city would shout "Long live". In this era, "Long live" was not the only enjoyment of the kings at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, but the words of celebration and cheering, and the kings and common people could shout. When the Chu army saw the Qin army, they were shocked first, and when they saw the corpses of friendly troops, they were mourned. Unexpectedly, their crossbows could plunder prisoners in front of more than 100,000 Qin people and returned, and then they forgot their fear, sadness, and became excited and angry.

The whole city called for long live, and the soldiers praised the crossbows. The people who could not see the Jing crossbows in the city actually climbed up the tallest building in the city, hoping to see the style of the crossbow soldiers defeating the Qin people. The tallest building in the city was only two floors, of course, they could not see the Jing crossbows that kept making thunders, nor could they see the already messy Qin army formation. All they could see was the witches wearing hideous masks dancing wildly on the west city tower. The Qin people dragged up were beheaded by cruelly. Their unsolidified blood was taken into a bowl and began to perform the drum sacrifice.

"I ask for the gods and descend from the sun,

The sun rises and climbs to the secluded bamboos

I feel sad when I see you

Lang Yan Zhenxi Zhao Zongfang..."

As the witches prayed for the gods, the soldiers in the city were all devotional and knelt down. They just waited for the men to smear all the drums on the city tower after they applied all the drums on the city tower. The drums of the army were different from those of the palace. The drums of the army were built and drums. The drums were a spindle-shaped drum strung up by a wooden stick stud, standing on the copper seat. The drums were originally red, and the color of the blood was even red. After the drums were finished, the drums beat them hard, and the soldiers and civilians in the city shouted again.

"General, the Jing people's crossbow shot more than 300 steps." When the Chu army was chasing drums, a continuous crossbow arrow was sent to Meng Wu by Feng Jie. This was the farthest shot. It was just pulled out of the Qin soldiers, and there was still blood on it.

"Ming Jin withdrew the troops." Meng Wu did not look at the arrow carefully, but he had seen the landing point of the arrow shot on the city before.

"Retreat the troops?!" Feng Jie was shocked. After forming a formation to demonstrate, he would attack the city no matter what. Unexpectedly, the commander's order was to withdraw the troops.

"The Jing people are in high spirits, and it is indeed not suitable to attack the city today." Sikong Ma echoed Meng Wu. He was a guardian, and the generals dared not object to the order he agreed to. Otherwise, they would be impeached in the future, and at worst they would be killed by the guard soldiers who were only ordered by Sikong Ma.

"Ming Jin withdraws the army!" The military orders were quickly passed out, and the sound of the stern sound immediately resounded across the city. The Qin army formation changed instantly and began to slowly and orderly retreat to the camp ten miles west.

"The Qin people retreated! The Qin people retreated..." Cheers sounded again from the head of Chengyang City. Just now, everyone thought that there would be a bloody battle today, but they didn't expect that the Qin army would retreat just by forming a formation. The feeling of surviving the disaster made people extremely excited.

"Today is finally over." Chen Gai's legs became weak, and he sat on the mat with a very rude manner. His clothes were soaked. Maybe he was sweating too much, and now he only felt weak all over.

"General, you should quickly reward those who have made meritorious services to clarify the military discipline." Chen Chuang also breathed a sigh of relief. "Today's victory should also be reported to the king quickly. If the Huai River is smooth, please send some Jing crossbows."

"Good." Chen Gai agreed deeply. The Jing crossbow shot more than 300 steps, which means that the Qin people should set up a formation in the future. The chariots, rushing cars, and transporting vehicles must be pushed from 300 steps away from 300 steps away. If there are 100 Jing crossbows on the city of Chengyang, the Qin people will be deeply hindered by the attack. "Take the victory of today quickly to the King and the Grand Sima, and then invite some Jing crossbows."

There are no people I have ever seen about the power of Jing crossbows, and there is no general who doesn’t want to ask for more Jing crossbows to accompany the army. However, Jing crossbows are not like water trucks. The water trucks can produce as much as they want. Jing crossbows are different. The one that restricts Jing crossbows is beef tendon. It is not just about having it. Although beef tendons have been listed as strategic materials under Xiong Jing’s suggestion a few months ago and they have found ways to buy them from various countries, the San Jin, Qin, Qi and other countries use more cattle plows, and they do not kill cattle without sacrifices. There are not many beef tendons and they also need to use them, so they don’t get much.

After reading the news from Chengyang City, the Grand Sima Nao was not happy but was a little angry. He had already figured out the hit rate and range of Jing Bird. When the Qin people first met Jing Bird, they were naturally caught off guard. There was nothing extraordinary. He just took a little anger at why Chen Gai didn't take advantage of the Qin people's unpreparedness and used Jing Bird to shoot the Qin master. That was the real victory, not a provocation.

"What's wrong with Xiang Yan? Is there a news report?" Naojiu looked at his ears and ears, a little worried about Xiang Yan.

"Reported to the Grand Sima, there is no news from General Xiang." He was Naochi, the nephew of his clan, and he was responsible for collecting and sorting out the news. "I think... I think General Xiang has arrived in Jiyi."

"Yes. Jiyi." Although Xiang Yan did not clearly state the purpose of the battle, he went west to Xieyi. If he had not ambushed the Qin people, the target would be Jiyi. The importance of Jiyi was clear, and when it came to Jiyi, he naturally remembered Fuyi to the west of Jiyi.

The real source of the Huai River is Fuyi (now Huaiyuan Town, Tongbai County). The water flows down from the Dafu Mountain and winds and twists the small basin of Jiyi. It merges with more than ten rivers before it gradually grows. Nanyang, the Huai River was owned by the Chu State. The people of Chu worshipped the Huai River water gods and the Dafu Mountain Mountain Gods every year. After the Qin State was unified, the Qin people rebuilt Huai Temple and also worshiped the water gods and mountain gods. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Fuyang Hou State was granted here, and later generations established the Fuyang County Government. It was only in the Song Dynasty that the county was moved from Fuyi to its current location (Tongbai County).

Although Fuyi is small, it guards the only mountain road from the Jiyi Basin to the Nanyang Basin. If Xiang Yan can capture Jiyi and occupy Fuyi, it will be equivalent to cutting off a Qin army's grain route. The Qin people can only transport grain from Biyang-Magu to the city of Chengyang. This road is not only far, but also not as easy as the road from Jiyi. However, once the Qin army in Nanyang County advances eastward or the Qin army under Chengyang returns to support, Xiang Yan's troops will be surrounded and killed in the Jiyi Basin.

"The order was sent to the county magistrate of Tang County and the county silo, and they were asked to send people to the north of Dafu Mountain to find Xiang Yan's troops. When the situation was critical, it was necessary to safely connect Xiang Yan's troops to Tang County." The only way to retreat was estimated to be Xiang Yan. Although Xiang Yan was the only way to retreat, he never thought that he would use the Qin people to get rid of Xiang Yan during the war, but instead prepared a way out for him.

"I'll go and pass the order now." Naochi stood up and stopped again, asking, "Let Tang County accept General Xiang into the country, and Tang Duke..."

The county of Chu State is equivalent to a fief of a vassal state, and is very independent. On the west side of the Dabie Mountains, the two counties in Sui were destroyed by Chu State, which was originally a vassal state of Ji surnamed guarding the Suizao Channel. After the Qin people occupied the Jianghan Plain, the attitudes of the two counties became very subtle. Every move was very concerned about the reactions of the Qin people, for fear that they would not offend the Qin people and then be annexed by the Qin people. Now they were asked to pick up Xiang Yan in the south of Dafu Mountain. Naochi was very worried that they would make excuses to shirk responsibility for such offending the Qin people.

"Don't panic." Nao cunning and confident, "You ordered the emperor to tell him clearly: If Xiang Yan is not accepted, I will ask the king to cut Tang County into Qin!"

"Ve." Naochi looked at his uncle half-believingly and half-doubtedly, and then smiled.

The Feixun route from Chengyang to Yingdu is not connected to Chengyang. In addition, Chengyang is extremely important, the three passes of Minghe in the low area of ​​Dabie Mountain are also important for defense. Before the war, Feixun built the three passes of Minghe and followed them all the way. The two counties of Tang extended to today, even if they did not extend to the farthest Tang County, they were not far away. The military order issued by Naoji ran from fast horses to the two stations, that is, a distance of 60 miles to the Tang County Yin Tanggong.

"It's so unreasonable, it's so unreasonable!" After reading the last sentence of the military order, Gong Tang was furious, "Is this Chu State belonging to the Nao family? If you want to cut off the city, you can cut off the city. If you want to cut it, you can cut it to whom? I will report to the king and ask the king to blame him..."

The demise of the Tang State was related to the entry of Wu army into Ying. It was Cai and Tang that provided food and guidance to Wu. Only 30,000 Wu troops could successfully break through the three passes of Minghe and defeat the Chu army in the west of Dabie Mountain. Afterwards, the Tang State was destroyed, and the monarchs and nobles moved out of the Tang State. Tang State became a county of Chu State and became the first county magistrate. Like other counties in Chu State, most county magistrates were hereditary, especially small and unimportant counties like Tang State, which were many of them. Therefore, until today, the Dou family was in charge of Tang County.

During the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, Ruoao rebelled and destroyed the clan, but the Dou clan did not lose his inheritance. Dou clan defeated Huang clan and was spared from being implicated. After King Zhao of Chu restored Ying, he thought about the achievements of the Dou clan ancestors and was about to win people's hearts, so Dou Shang became the county magistrate of Tang County. It was not until the Chu State destroyed the state, and the Qin people moved all the nobles of Chu State westward, and the Dou clan changed his clan to Ban, and Bangu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a descendant of the Dou clan.

Although the Tang County Yin Dou Yuzhi did not know the situation of the Dou family after the Chu State destroyed the State, he knew very well what the fate of Tang County's clan was after the Qin State was cut off. No matter how bad the State of Chu State was, he was also a county duke, and his clan was still a nobleman. When he arrived in Qin State, he was not good at being framed, and his descendants would be punished by his descendants. He knew exactly what the unmoved Dukes of Chu State in the west had encountered under the rule of the Qin people.

"What do you think?" After Dou Yuzhi scolded him, his anger was not completely gone, but he had to implement the cunning military order.

Sima Ye of the county, Dou, whose courtesy name is Chang. As a military general, he did not care as much about the reactions of the Qin people as Dou Yuzhi. "I thought that since Xiang Yan went deep into Jiyi, he would go west to Fuyi to block the transportation of food and grass for the Qin people. If he retreated, he could only climb Dafushan to the south and go to our county. Our county should find its response as soon as possible."

"How about the Qin people attacking me?" Dou Yuzhi sighed, fearing that Tang County would be gone like this.
