General Qin

"The Qin army set fire."

Agus, the king of South Vietnam, was sitting cross-legged in the forest, holding a raw deer leg in his hand and chewing on it.

Hearing the news from the front line, he threw the deer leg in his hand to the ground, his eyes so red that they were about to bleed.

Mountains and forests are the homeland where Yue people depend for their survival.

The South Vietnamese people can obtain food through rice farming and fishing, but the various animals, fruits and vegetables in the forest are also necessary for the survival of the Vietnamese people.

The dense jungle is their best weapon to deal with the Qin army.

The Qin army was well-equipped, and there were people from Minyue and Dongouyue to help. The South Vietnamese wanted to ambush the Qin army during the day, but there were few successful cases.

Even if they were lucky enough to swallow up a unit of the Qin army, their own losses would be considerable.

So Agus, the South Vietnamese king, chose to fight at night.

When he led the South Vietnamese warriors to the front line in the Dongjiang River Basin, he began to assign tribes to take advantage of the concealment of the mountains and forests to hide in day and night, specifically to attack the Qin army's camps at night.

No matter how powerful the Qin people are, they always have to sleep. Even if they leave people to guard and alert, the reaction will be slower after all.

The South Vietnamese launched an attack at night, taking the initiative to start the war and greatly increasing their advantage.

When to fight, which troops to fight, whether to fight in the early morning or late at night, everything is decided by the South Vietnamese.

This is a typical guerrilla tactic.

The Qin people took every precaution, and it was impossible to be absolutely foolproof. There was always a chance that the South Vietnamese would succeed, or even burn down the Qin army's camp.

Taking a step back, even if the South Vietnamese failed to attack at night or were even ambushed by the Qin army, the Yue people could still use the cover of the night and the mountains to calmly escape into the forest and escape safely.

The mountains and forests at night are the South Vietnamese's biggest ally.

In such an environment, the Qin army could only suffer the beating silently. Even if they saw the South Vietnamese who attacked them disappear into the night, they did not dare to pursue them.

This is the "geographical" advantage in the art of war.

After more than half a month, the South Vietnamese achieved good results and burned several Qin army camps at night, killing nearly a thousand people.

The South Vietnamese people's confidence in this war suddenly increased, and they all secretly shouted the reputation of King Agus of South Vietnam.

They believed that under the leadership of this wise king, they would be able to drive out the hateful invaders.

Now, the Qin people's revenge is coming.

The South Vietnamese relied on the protection of the mountains and forests for their sneak attacks, so the Qin army simply took a deadly step and burned the mountains and forests directly.

In this dry season with little rain, the trees are dry and flammable. According to the burning method of the Qin people, the area near the Dongjiang River will be burned to a white ground in a month.

Without the protection of mountains and forests, it will not be easy for the South Vietnamese to succeed through sneak attacks.

This is an intolerable thing for Yue people.

Argus summoned the leaders of various tribes to discuss the matter.

The leader of the Buffalo Tribe, Adu, spoke anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Qin army occupied our land, killed our people, and now wants to burn down our mountains and forests. It is really abominable. We will fight them!"

"Fight, how to fight?"

"Have you ever beaten the Qin people in the buffalo department?"

Agus spoke calmly, but after one sentence, Adu blushed.

A Tu Gu, who was next to him, said in a dark voice: "The weapons and equipment of the Qin army are so good, and with the help of those Fujian people, it is naturally impossible to win in a head-on battle. We have to sacrifice the lives of two warriors to exchange one for them." We might as well bypass the Qin troops in front, find their general position, and attack them at all costs."

"As long as the Qin people's general falls into our hands or is killed on the spot, the Qin people will definitely be in chaos, and maybe it will be the same as last time. Once the Qin people's generals die, the remaining troops will have no choice but to let us Kill and get out of our territory.”

A Tu Gu proposed a strategy to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

His words were echoed by leaders such as Adu and Motazhu.

Because the last time the Qin army conquered Vietnam, it was because the Qin army’s leader Tu Sui was ambushed by the Yue people in Xiou. Then all the Qin army’s units collapsed. Not only was the command in chaos, but the morale was also reduced to the lowest point. He was massacred by the Yue army and rushed back. To Qin.

The Yue people were able to defeat the Qin army like this last time, so they can do it this time too.

Regarding this clever plan, Agus had no expression on his face and shook his head: "This time the Qin people's generals are different from the previous ones. Last year, when the Qin army captured Fujian and Yue, he did not take the opportunity to attack us. Instead, he only sent a small force. The troops came to explore the road and contacted the Mei clan and other foreign tribes, which shows the cunning of this general. When he came to attack this year, he was not in a hurry to go to the royal city. Instead, he wanted to occupy our land piece by piece, and now he set fire to the mountains to force us. This is a What a powerful person."

Speaking of this, Agus said in a cold voice: "The Qin army has such a person to lead the army. If you want to bypass the Qin people in front and ambush him in the rear, I'm afraid you will only fall into his trap, and then everyone will be killed." The people of Qin cut off their heads and piled them into hills."

The leaders shuddered when they thought of the hill of bones outside Mei's city.

Atu Gu whispered: "Then what do you think we should do, my king? If we don't ambush the Qin people's generals, there is no way we can defeat the Qin people."

The King of Nanyue closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then roared: "Retreat, retreat to the west of the Dongjiang River. Give up all the places east of the river to the Qin Army. We will rely on the Dongjiang River for defense. If the Qin Army passes by us, Just kill one. When the Dongjiang is blocked, the Qin people's front and rear teams will be divided, and they may not be our opponents on the opposite side."

Agus's decision was equivalent to reluctantly cutting off his flesh and blood, directly giving up one-third of South Vietnam's land, and no longer competing with the Qin army for the area east of the Dongjiang River.

This made the leaders feel a little dissatisfied, but thinking of the Qin people's equipment and combat effectiveness, they could only endure it.

Judging from the current situation, relying on the Dongjiang River for defense is the most advantageous strategy for them.

The long Dongjiang River runs diagonally through the entire territory of South Vietnam. As long as the South Vietnamese tightly control this river, it is really possible to block the Qin army to the east of the Dongjiang River.

"The direction of Lingbei where the Mei clan retreats is also a threat. There is no guarantee that the Qin people will not tempt us with a large army in the Dongjiang River like they did when they attacked Minyue, and then send people to defeat us from there. People from the Laoyang tribe are guarding there. Are you ready?"

I heard Argus ask this.

A Tu Gu replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry. There are three to four thousand men from the Laoyang tribe, firmly guarding the passage from the mountain. It is impossible for the Mei family and the Qin army to defeat them from there."

Argus nodded.

With the experience of the Qin army attacking Minyue, he naturally had to be on guard.

With the Lao Yang Department guarding the traffic arteries in the north direction of the Ling Dynasty, and his son and the Haiyu Department deploying defenses in the direction of the Royal City, the rear was very stable, and Agus could safely deal with the Qin army on the Dongjiang side.

"Generals of the Qin people, under my tight defense, I want to see how you can break through my defenses!"

"This Dongjiang River is the grave of you Qin people!"

…

In the Qin army camp.

Zhao Tuo soon received news that all the South Vietnamese had crossed the river and evacuated.

"This King of Nanyue is quite capable. He is so decisive and gives up such a large piece of land."

Li Shiqi shook his head and sighed.

The Qin army set fire to the mountains, not only to cut off the Yue people's hiding environment, but also to anger them.

As long as the South Vietnamese can't stand it anymore and attack in large numbers, the Qin army can use its main force to destroy them in one fell swoop.

"If you save people and lose land, everyone and land will survive; if you save land and lose people, everyone and land will be lost."

Zhao Tuo whispered.

Compared with the fight for the land occupied by the Qin army, which resulted in heavy casualties, it was indeed a wise choice for the South Vietnamese to retain their strength, withdraw to the west of the river, and rely on the Dongjiang River for defense.

With this river blocking the road, it would be difficult for the Qin army to cross the river to the west.

"No matter how well you defend on the front line, if I send a large army from the sea, how can you resist it, South Vietnamese?"

Zhao Tuo turned his head, looked at Li Shengqi, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order to General Yin, I have lured Jiaolong in front. You can go dig out his lair!"
