Chapter Eighty-Fourth: Li Xin and Meng Tian took a slanted sword, Qin Feng finally miscalculated
Da Chu, the important town was Pingyu.
"Have you heard? The Qin Dynasty sent 200,000 troops to attack us, saying that this time Chu will be destroyed!"
"Bragging! You want to destroy our Chu State with 200,000 men? General Xiang Yan has already assembled an army of 400,000 men and is confronting the Qin Army in the Bicheng area!"
"It's coming fiercely! War is everywhere. I'm afraid we, the general public, will not be spared, right?"
"Don't worry, Li Xin and Meng Tian's commanders are all in the city, preparing for a decisive battle! It has nothing to do with me!"
Even so, the soldiers guarding the city still did not dare to slack off.
The battle between Qin and Chu determined the life and death of the two empires.
Pingyu guard Jing Ju felt very distressed and was venting his anger on his concubine.
That's right, for a noble son of Chu, how about going on an expedition with a concubine?
A man cannot live without his concubine for a day!
"Xiang Yan, who do you think you are? If you didn't support Zheng Cu to rise to power, would you be able to hold the position of Shangzhu Kingdom?"
"Gathering the heavy troops of the three major families into your own hands and making great achievements, you send me to this place where no one can shit?"
"When I, the Jing family, win the title of Commander-in-Chief, I will take your head!"
Jing Ju wiped his sweat and got up from the bed.
After thinking about it, I decided to go out for a tour.
Now that the battle between the three major families has reached a critical moment, no clue can be left to others!
Just as Jing Ju was mounting his armor, suddenly there was a "rumbling" earthquake sound outside the city!
Jing Ju was stunned and shouted:
"What's going on? Messenger! Go and investigate immediately!"
"promise!"
Jing Ju felt uneasy for a while, so he asked someone to bring a wooden ladder and climbed up to the roof.
Taking a closer look, I saw that at the south city gate, a torrent of black cavalry had broken through the city gate!
The Chu army collapsed instantly, and the Qin army rushed into Pingyu City like chopping melons and vegetables!
Jing Ju’s eyes almost popped out:
"How is it possible! How could the Qin army appear in the south!"
Jing Ju hurriedly got off the wooden ladder, but his foot slipped and he fell down.
Just as his subordinates were about to help him, Jing Ju kicked him away.
"Prepare your horses! Prepare your horses! Withdraw to the north! Then head east to meet up with Xiang Yan's army!"
"Xiang Yan, what do you do for food! The main force of the Qin army has been killed in Pingyu! You don't know?"
"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"
Jing Ju is worthy of being a noble son of Chu State, and his escape speed is unmatched by anyone.
It only took a quarter of an hour to disappear without a trace!
Outside the city, Li Xin quietly looked at the fallen Pingyu with a look of fanaticism on his face!
"Is it Da Chu? Nothing more than that!"
"I, Li Xin, will accomplish this unparalleled feat!"
"Brother, just watch! I am not wrong! It is you who are wrong!"
Li Xin turned around suddenly and roared:
"The success of destroying Chu will be today! The generals and I will continue to go south! Leave a captain's cavalry to continue to clear out the Pingyu defenders!"
"promise!"
Behind him, 70,000 Qin army black-armored cavalry, each with two horses, responded loudly.
What Li Xin wants is a time difference! To outperform the Chu army's messenger!
Keep attacking the Chu army's hinterland! Catch them off guard!
He is not as steady as Wang Jian in using his troops and is good at positional warfare.
What he is best at is running thousands of miles! Just like he did when he destroyed Yan!
Seventy thousand cavalry, each with two horses, bypassed the main force and entered the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. It was like entering an uninhabited country!
He asked Meng Tian to display his commanding banner and lead a partial army to confront Xiang Yan's main force in Bicheng.
He led the lone cavalry army deep into the city, first defeating Pingyu and then Yanying.
Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, is just around the corner!
The 400,000 main troops of the Chu State are all on the front line of the sleeping city. When the time comes, I can directly behead the King of Chu and make an unparalleled contribution!
Li Xin's chest was burning, he suddenly clamped his horse's belly, led 70,000 Qin army cavalry, and rushed towards the hinterland of Chu!
In the dormitory city, a raging fire has been set off, with black smoke rising everywhere.
The Chu army in the city has been completely wiped out, and the Qin army is carefully cleaning the battlefield and strengthening the city defense.
The Chu army came out in full force and was already stationed south of Bicheng.
Next thing everyone knows, this is a fierce battle!
Meng Tian stood quietly at the top of the city, looking at the Chu army's camp twenty miles away, with the commander-in-chief flag flying above, and couldn't help but look heavy.
"Li Xin, I have followed your plan to storm the city to give Xiang Yan the illusion that the main force of the army is here."
"Now that Xiang Yan's main force of 400,000 has joined forces with Baili, he is already in the trap. The rest is up to you!"
"To attack thousands of miles and break through the capital of Chu, no matter how you look at it, it is a genius idea."
"But...I always have an ominous premonition. If it is so simple, why are General Wang Jian and Brother Qin so cautious?"
Meng Tian shook his head and temporarily put these thoughts behind him.
Now that the plan has begun, there is no turning back.
"Send the order and join forces for hundreds of miles! We are at odds with the sleeping city! Hold on to this place!"
"promise!"
Just as Meng Tian came down from the city head worriedly, a horse suddenly came galloping towards him.
He took a closer look and suddenly looked surprised:
"Zhang Han? Why are you here?"
Zhang Han turned over and dismounted. He was in a very embarrassed state, and his crotch was even torn.
His face was scratched by the wind, and he was obviously very anxious.
Zhang Han didn't dare to take a few breaths, so he lowered his voice and said:
"The boss has arrived at Chen Ying! He asked me to hurry up and come here to inform you that we must leave 20,000 cavalry to guard Chen Ying's Changping Lord!"
Meng Tian's face gradually darkened:
"Boss, what you mean is that Lord Changping will rebel? How is that possible?"
Zhang Han nodded heavily:
"Yes! Although there is no evidence, the boss is very sure!
And when he came this time, the king sent 20,000 soldiers to follow him, stationed at Chen Ying in the name of escorting grain and grass!
But the boss is still worried about an accident, so he emphasizes that there must be 20,000 cavalry on standby at any time!"
Meng Tian immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Han looked around and said doubtfully:
"Where is Li Xin? Why isn't he with you?"
Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said:
"You're too late, he...he took all the cavalry away."
When Meng Tian revealed the two men's plans, Zhang Han suddenly froze on the spot.
Zhang Han, who also had a very high commanding talent, understood instantly and couldn't help but lower his voice and shouted:
"Do you know what this means! Once the retreat is cut off, the entire army will be annihilated!
Li Xin’s 80,000 cavalry are finished! Completely finished!”
Meng Tian sighed deeply:
"Opportunities always coexist with risks. This is Li Xin's only way to quickly defeat Chu.
If the 200,000 Guanzhong disciples defeat the 400,000 Chu army head-on, the casualties will be at least half!"
"But if you do this! They will all die!"
“But so far, it’s going pretty well.
Moreover, Lord Changping may not necessarily rebel. Even if he rebels, he does not have enough power in his hands unless he colludes with the Chu army!"
Meng Tian had a wry smile on his face. He was just a deputy general and had no influence over Li Xin.
He also had no choice but to defend the front line of the city.
Zhang Han gritted his teeth, endured the pain, staggered onto his horse again, and said coldly:
"I have to go back and inform the boss! He must be prepared!"
Meng Tian nodded and said in a hoarse voice:
"Apologise to Old Dao for me."
Zhang Hanle turned his horse's head and galloped far away, and his voice came from far away:
"No need to apologize! If anything changes, you must retreat from Chen Ying!
The boss said that even if it costs him his life, he will protect your retreat for you bastards!"
