Chapter 198: Suppressing the Rebellion (Please give me a reward on Monday!)
In the land of Chu, the camp of the Qin Army.
"Reporting to the Marshal, Nanjun has rebelled. Lord Changping, no, the old villain Xiong Qi, has cut off our army's retreat and openly hung the flag of Chu!"
"Reporting to the Marshal, the army has very little food and grass left, only enough for ten days at most."
"Reporting to the Marshal, the Chu army is mobilizing, and it is obvious that they want to attack our army while our army is running out of food!"
……
With the rebellion of Changping Jun Xiong Qi in Nanjun, Wang Jian's 600,000-man army was cut off from retreat. One piece of bad news after another, like wings, continued to arrive in front of Wang Jian, the first general of the Qin army and the commander-in-chief of this war against Chu.
call!
Facing the bad news that came one after another, and the anxious faces of the generals below him, Wang Jian let out a long breath, and deep sorrow rose in his heart:
[Changping Jun, you finally took this step! ]
Although Tianxuan told Wang Jian when he was in Yingchuan County that Changping Jun was likely to rebel, Wang Jian remained skeptical until this day really came!
"Hahaha."
Facing the bad news that kept pouring in, Wang Jian remained motionless for a long time. After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud. There was no trace of fear or anger in his heroic and hearty laughter, which made the generals under him secretly doubt: [Will old General Wang Jian be frightened by these bad news? ]
“My fellow generals, do you think I am frightened?” Wang Jian stopped laughing, his eyes gleaming with light, “No, I feel sorry for the traitor Xiong Qi who is seeking his own death!”
As he spoke, Wang Jian stood up from his chair, his face covered with snow-white beard, full of confidence.
"Although the king has great trust in the traitor Xiong Qi and entrusted him with the rear of the 600,000-man army, the traitor Xiong Qi is of the royal blood of Chu after all. This is a war for our Great Qin to destroy Chu. How can the king be completely confident in this traitor? To tell you the truth, the reason why the king demoted General Tianxuanzi to Yingchuan County is to let General Tianxuanzi train 10,000 cavalry in Yingchuan County to keep an eye on the traitor Xiong Qi for the king!"
"Since Xiong Qi has rebelled, General Tian Xuanzi's army must have set out to suppress the rebellion. In ten days at the most, the retreat route will be cleared."
"Are you serious, Marshal?"
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Xiong Qi, you are courting death!"
……
After hearing Wang Jian's words, all the generals' faces were filled with joy. Meng Tian, Li Xin and others even bowed towards Xianyang, admiring Zheng Ge's foresight.
"When I led the army through Yingchuan County, General Tianxuanzi informed me of the arrangement between the king and him." Wang Jian added, "At first, I was a little skeptical. But, since it concerns the survival of 600,000 troops, I dare not be careless. Therefore, since I led the army into Chu, I have been deliberately collecting food and military supplies. The supplies I have stockpiled are enough for the army to use for half a month!"
"When you go down, comfort the soldiers and tell them that there is plenty of food."
At this point, Wang Jian's face showed a hint of coldness:
"Xiang Yan wants to take advantage of the fact that my army is out of food and attack from both sides with the traitor Xiong Qi to destroy my army? I can also use their tricks to defeat these 400,000 Chu troops!"
"Marshal, please give the order."
Wang Jian enjoyed great prestige in the Qin army. After hearing his words, the generals no longer had any doubts. They bowed their hands and clasped their fists, waiting for Wang Jian's orders.
………………
Nanjun. "Qin Feng!"
"Qin Feng!"
"Qin Feng!"
……
Ten thousand Black Dragon Cavalry, led by Tian Xuan, charged into Nanjun with the force of the wind and clouds. The day before, the Chu people living in Nanjun were celebrating the return of Nanjun to the embrace of Chu. The next day, the murderous and fierce Qin army was at the gates of the city. The Qin army's military trumpets echoed under every city in Nanjun.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was cold and bleak.
One thousand Black Dragon Cavalry faced three thousand Chu troops. The Chu troops, which were a mixture of infantry and cavalry, were terrified by the Qin cavalry that seemed to come from the depths of hell. The Qin soldiers, who came with endless anger, rushed out like a black dragon that turned the sea upside down under the command of the commander.
In an instant, the Black Dragon Cavalry had reached the enemy, and their arrows intertwined in the sky, turning into an impenetrable rain of arrows. The Black Dragon Cavalry, wearing black armor, followed closely behind the rain of arrows, forming a sharp arrow formation, and like a chisel that could penetrate anything, they charged into the Chu army.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Qin army, the huge army formation was filled with corpses and broken bones flying in the air, mixed with the tragic wails of the Chu army.
……
Bang!
Yingcheng, the former site of the Chu royal palace.
Changping Jun Xiong Qi had just made the biggest gamble of his life. He wanted to cut off the retreat of 600,000 Qin troops and bury this Qin army, along with generals such as Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Li Xin, Meng Tian, and even his own nephew, the eldest prince Fusu of Qin, in Chu.
Unexpectedly, before Changping Jun could follow the plan agreed with Xiang Yan, he mobilized all the troops in Nanjun and launched an attack on the rear of the Qin army. The Qin army to suppress the rebellion had already arrived at the city, and the Chu army was easily torn apart by the powerful enemy offensive.
"Ying Zheng, you are so cruel!"
Facing the emergency documents from all over Nanjun, Xiong Qi's face turned pale and blue, and was finally shrouded in an impenetrable black cloud. He punched a pillar beside him hard, raising endless dust, but he did not dodge and said hatefully.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Chang Wenjun was not as well-mannered and shrewd as his brother. He looked anxious, with fine beads of sweat oozing out of his face. "In just five days, seven cities in Nanjun were captured by the Qin army. After the Qin army captured the cities, they immediately contacted Yingchuan County, Nanyang County and other neighboring counties to restore the food supply for Wang Jian's army."
"this?"
After hearing what Changwenjun had said, Changpingjun's face was filled with a heavy look, and there was even a trace of despair in his eyes. How perfect was the original plan? Nanjun controlled the food supply and retreat of Wang Jian's army. Once the food supply was cut off, Wang Jian's army would surely be in chaos.
Even if King Zheng of Qin got the news and mobilized troops to suppress the rebellion, Changping Jun asked himself, with his own ability and years of management in Nanjun, he could hold out for a month or two. Unexpectedly, the Qin army came so quickly, as if King Zheng of Qin knew from the beginning that he would rebel!
"Who is the commander of this Qin army?"
Although he was distressed that his plan had almost been ruined, Changping Jun was not the kind of person who liked to be sad. He quickly suppressed all his emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Chang Wenjun showed a bitter expression, "Brother, this Qin army came from Yingchuan County, and the commander is most likely Tian Xuanzi!"
"It's him?" Changping Jun was shocked. "Could it be that the reason why Ying Zheng demoted Tian Xuanzi is to guard against us?" At the end of his words, a hint of anger from the bottom of his heart appeared on Changping Jun's face. Although, in fact, the person who was betrayed was Zheng Ge; but after realizing that Zheng Ge had been on guard against him, Changping Jun still felt angry about being betrayed!
