General Qin

In October of the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang.

In this Qin New Year, which is supposed to be celebrated by the whole country, Changsha County, where the Xiang River flows through, is a scene of intense military activity.

"General Ren, all the leaders of the Yue tribes have returned. Now that General Ren has destroyed Minyue and Nanyue, his power has shaken the Yue people. I forgive them that they will not dare to rebel again."

Deputy General Wang Bao walked up a hill and reported to Ren Xiao, who was standing on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his hands looking at the scenery below.

Ren Xiao nodded, and flames began to burn in his eyes.

That was the fighting spirit he had accumulated for several years.

In the 32nd year of the First Emperor of Qin, Tu Sui was ambushed in Xiou, Feng Wuze died of illness in Minyue, and the Qin army's campaign to conquer Yue ended in a major defeat. The emperor was furious and ordered Ren Xiao and Meng Tian to go south to gather soldiers and stabilize the situation in the south.

Compared to the Qin Army on the Eastern Route, which had a relatively stable situation, Ren Xiao chose Changsha County where the Yue people were rebelling all over the country, simply because Tu Sui, whom he regarded as his brother, was the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

After the second Qin-Yue War started, Zhao Tuo successively attacked Minyue and Nanyue, achieving two great feats of destroying the country. Although Meng Tian was in charge of the transportation of grain and fodder at the rear of Lujiang County and did not go to the battlefield, he also accumulated corresponding achievements.

In the past two years, Ren Xiao's main task was to quell the rebellion of the Yangyue tribe in the county that was instigated by Xiou. He killed those who deserved and appeased those who deserved, and re-established stability in the turbulent Changsha County.

The suppression of the Yue rebellion in Changsha County was naturally meritorious, but compared to the great achievement of destroying two countries on the East Road battlefield, it seems not worth mentioning.

Even when the emperor rewarded the Southern Expeditionary Army with titles twice in a row, he did not mention the Western Route Army on Ren Xiao's side.

But Ren Xiao didn't care, there was only one thing he wanted.

revenge.

Now he finally waited.

After calling in the chiefs of the Yue tribes in Changsha County and stabilizing the rear area, General Ren Xiao led his troops to go out and took the Cangwu Road where Tu Sui had gone south in the past. He formed an echo with Zhao Tuo's army in the east and marched from two sides respectively. The road flanked Xiou.

Destroy the Ou people's country in one fell swoop!

"Brother Tu, I want to sacrifice the lives of people from Ou to pay homage to you."

Ren Xiao whispered, then turned to Wang Bao and said: "Declare an order to the entire army to march south in three days!"

October 12, the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang.

Qin General Ren Xiao led 30,000 troops from Changsha County southward, followed the Xiang River and Lingling line into Xiou, and launched an attack on the Ou tribe gathered here.

At the same time, in Panyu City in South Vietnam, General Zhao Tuo of the State of Qin held a swearing-in ceremony.

He left his deputy general Yin Tong to guard Panyu, and he led the Qin army of 60,000 people, as well as the vassal Yue troops of Nanyue, Minyue, Dongou and other vassals, totaling 10,000 people, to march westward to Ou.

The combined number of the two Qin armies was more than 100,000. They launched an attack on Xiou from the east and north with great momentum.

For Xiou, who had been crippled by Tu Sui and failed to attack Cao Shen's Qin army, this was like a high mountain pressing down on them, shrouding them in fear.

In the city of King Xiou.

The old Great Witch of Xiou was lying on the ground among the frogs, chanting strange spells.

Because the weather is getting cooler, the frog sounds are muffled and lack energy.

However, practice makes perfect, and the great wizard, who had already eaten many frogs, accurately caught the one that screamed the loudest and swallowed it in one gulp.

On the side, King Alamo of Xiou, King Luo, Atu Gu and others all looked nervously at the great wizard who just rolled his eyes because he swallowed the frog alive.

Gua!

The great wizard burped and let out a frog cry, then he closed his eyes and felt the movement of the frog writhing in his stomach.

After a moment, he said to Alamo, King Luo and others with a horrified look on his face: "The people of Qin are like heavy rain falling from the sky. They will gather in Ou and form a flood that destroys everything. Can't stop it, can't stop it. Stay, we have only one way to perish, croak!"

Perish!

Alamo turned pale when he heard the divination result of the great witch.

King Luo and Atu Gu looked as if they were indeed so.

In fact, there is no need to ask the ghosts and gods, they all know the current situation.

The Qin army was too numerous, more than the Xiou and Luo Yue reinforcements combined.

In addition to the large number of people, the Qin army's equipment also crushed the Yue people, and the Qin soldiers had military formations to coordinate with each other.

The two armies were fighting head-on. Even if the Yue army was more numerous than the Qin army, it would be difficult to win. They had previously sent an army of ten thousand people and war elephants to besiege the Qin army of Cao Shen's headquarters, and their miserable failure was an obvious example.

Compared with the Qin army, the Yue people's advantage is probably their familiarity with geography, their suitability for ambush warfare in mountains and forests, and the bonus of their local climate.

It is a pity that the Qin people came up with the cloud-penetrating arrows that sent messages. As long as any troops were ambushed by the Yue people, the surrounding Qin troops would rush to support them as soon as they saw the signal. It would be difficult for the Yue people to swallow up the ambushed Qin army in a short period of time, and they would eventually fall into a situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the Qin people and escape in embarrassment.

As for the rainy season climate in Vietnam and the various diseases it caused, it was originally a good boost for the Yue people. The original massacre of the Sui army was first infected with the disease, and then was ambushed by the Ouyue coalition forces and was defeated.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Zhao Tuo, was a prudent man and would only launch fierce offensives during the dry season. Once the rainy season entered, he would stop advancing and properly manage the areas controlled by the Qin Army. At most, he would only send small groups of troops to explore the front.

The Qin army easily survived the dangerous rainy season. Even because the Qin people stayed in the south for two years, many people have gradually adapted to the local climate.

In this case, how should the Yue people fight? How to win?

"Since you frog gods have said that we can't win this battle, I will go back first."

King Luo patted his belly, said a few words, and prepared to leave.

He stayed here originally because he thought that the Qin army of thousands of people might get carried away by the great victory and attack King Xiou City, so that they would still have the possibility of attacking halfway and taking revenge.

Unexpectedly, the other party was sitting on the main road of transportation, only building barriers, and had no idea of ​​​​taking the lead. It waited until the Qin army arrived.

The Qin people had the means to restrain Luo Yue's war elephants, and a few thousand Qin troops defeated them.

Now that countless Qin troops are attacking from two directions, King Luo is calm on the face, but in his heart he has been frightened and just escaped.

After hearing King Luo's words, Alamo's expression suddenly changed.

He shouted: "Honorable King Luo, do you know that the hearts of the Qin people are like poisonous snakes and will never be satisfied. They destroyed Minyue and Nanyue, and now they are attacking us Ou people. Once we are wiped out by the Qin people, , after they occupy Ou Di, they will go south again. What will happen to you Luo people then?"

King Luo was expressionless.

He knew what Alamo said very well. If he hadn't sensed the crisis, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to lead troops to support him.

But the Qin army was so powerful that it shocked him in one battle.

His most proud elephant soldiers were defeated.

Now facing a large-scale attack by the Qin people, how can they still have any fighting spirit?

Instead of fighting to the death with the Qin army here, why not go back and gather troops to see the situation? What if the Qin people lose interest in Luo Yue after they occupy Xiou?

Although the probability is low, it is still a hope.

King Luo snorted: "I don't want to be killed here by the Qin people like Yi Xusong."

He strode outside.

A Tu Gu quietly watched the conversation between the two men. When he saw King Luo about to leave, he shouted: "King Luo, wait a minute. I, the Tiger Division, will go with King Luo."

I saw the figures of A Tu Gu and King Luo disappearing into the distance.

Alamo was confused.

The war had just started. Xiou's allies Luo Yue and the South Vietnamese Tigers were like frightened beasts. They went straight to their lairs and lost the courage to fight the enemy.

Next, it will be up to them, Xiou, to fight the terrifying Qin people alone.
