Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

According to the concept of the current people, starting from Pengcheng, Huaibei Pei, Chen, Runan, Nanjun and other places are called Western Chu, and Donghai, Guangling, Wudi and other places east of Pengcheng are called Eastern Chu, and the Dajiang River Yuzhang and other places to the south were called Southern Chu, and this was the land of the Three Chus.

As the church of Western Chu and Eastern Chu, Pengcheng’s status and location need not go without saying, especially when Runan and Nanjun, which were originally part of the Western Chu, were already occupied by the Qin State. If we occupy Pengcheng, we can conquer the land of Western Chu to the west, connect it with Nanjun and Runan, which we have occupied for a long time, completely occupy the land of Western Chu, and threaten the land of Dongchu to the east.

Therefore, holding Pengcheng is very important for Chu State.

It is precisely because of this that even if the Chu State decided on the strategy of gathering elite troops on the west road to defeat the Wei army, and on the east road, trading territory for time, and then the Qin army would stalemate, it still had to gather heavy troops to defend Pengcheng. Shanfu and Pei These cities in the county can be lost, but important towns like Pengcheng must not be captured by the Qin army.

When the Qin army came along the Surabaya River, they attacked cities and villages along the way. In less than a month, they occupied almost all the cities in the Surabaya Basin, and then they came to Pengcheng City.

During the period when the Qin army swept across the Si River Basin, Pengcheng had also made sufficient defense preparations. The city walls were repaired and reinforced, and various barriers were built outside the city relying on the rivers and hills, and elite soldiers were guarding them. The area thirty miles around Pengcheng has been transformed into a huge military base.

On a hill outside Pengcheng, Yang Ming and a team of soldiers stopped here, looking at Pengcheng at the end of the line of sight. His eyes passed through the fortresses. It was not easy to pull out such fortresses. The last Pengcheng , which is even more troublesome.

It can be said that as long as the defenders inside Pengcheng do not make mistakes, the Qin army cannot capture such a city in a short time. In other words, even if it can be done, Yang Ming will not do it because it requires sacrifice. The price is too high and not worth it.

However, if Pengcheng is not attacked, wouldn't it be just what the Chu army wanted. The Chu army used the Thunder Leopard Army and tens of thousands of Wu and Yue troops to hold back their 100,000 Qin army, which would be too natural.

"Who is the guard of the city?" Yang Ming asked Li Wu beside him. Although this intelligence officer was not part of the Qin army's establishment, his role at critical moments should not be underestimated.

"It is said that he is Xiang Yue, the eldest son of General Xiang Yan of the Chu State. He is quite famous within the Chu State and is regarded as a tiger father with no dog son." Li Wu replied.

"Does a tiger father have no dog sons?" Hearing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but smile. A tiger father can have no dog sons, but what if it's not a tiger father but a dog father?

"Master, I see that the defense of this Chu army is very tight. He should be considered a master of military skills, right?" Li Wu, who never took his eyes off Yang Ming, naturally saw the contempt in Yang Ming's expression and couldn't help but remind him.

"It can only be said that it is qualified. If it is said to be a master, then it depends on who it is." Yang Ming retracted his gaze and said, Pengcheng is not easy to attack, but why does Yang Ming have to attack?

War? When he has no better choice, how to make the enemy's plan fail is still a suitable choice. The same is true for Yang Ming in Pengcheng now.

"What about the master?" Li Wu asked.

"To me, nature is just average, and it can even be said to be full of flaws." Yang Ming said with a smile.

Pengcheng's defense is very good and can even be said to be impeccable, but is there really anything impeccable in the world?

A thing may be perfect from this angle, but if you look at it from another angle, it may not be perfect. Although the peacock opens its tail gorgeously, what if it is seen from behind?

The Chu army's defense in Pengcheng could be said to be extremely high, but this also shows that the Chu army spent most of its power on defense, so relatively speaking, they lost the ability to attack.

Yang Ming does not need to attack the city at all. According to the topography of Pengcheng and the defense system of the Chu army, Yang Ming only needs 30,000 troops to isolate Pengcheng into an isolated land. By then, it will no longer be the Qin army. Attack the city, but the Chu army was thinking about how to attack.

At that time, although the Qin army did not have a strong city like Pengcheng, the Chu army also did not have the offensive capabilities of the Qin army.

"Where is the flaw?" The relationship with Yang Ming is not just about Li Wu between superior and subordinate. At this time, he can naturally ask his doubts.

"What are you talking about? Let me tell you a story." Yang Ming turned sideways and looked at Li Wu in front of him. In this military camp, Li Wu, who was originally 90% attractive, already had 100% attraction. .

"Story?" Li Wu was stunned, and then became curious.

"This story spans almost four hundred years." Yang Ming said, but in Yang Ming's mind he added: I didn't say whether this story was about more than four hundred years ago, or more than four hundred years later. The story, anyway, it really spans more than four hundred years.

"In this story, there is a military disciple known as a genius. After receiving a military order to stop the enemy, he led the troops to a place called Jieting. After arriving, he observed the terrain and felt that Jieting was a There are many high mountains in this place, so he can defend based on the mountains. If the enemy comes to attack, he will deliberately use his soldiers and horses to dominate the terrain and attack the enemy. Li Wu, do you think this soldier's decision is right? Isn’t that right?” Yang Ming looked through his memories and said to Li Wu.

"This seems to be right, right? The condescending position is quite good." Li Wu hesitated. From a theoretical point of view, there is indeed no problem in doing so, but logically speaking, since Yang Ming has asked this, it must be There was a problem, but Li Wu couldn't figure out where the problem was for a while.

"It is indeed not wrong, but he only saw himself and did not see the enemy. Will the enemy really follow his plan? What if the enemy does not attack, but forms a camp at the foot of the mountain to defend the enemy? Where is Shou?" Yang Ming asked.

"At that time, he can also go down the mountain to attack, right?" Li Wu asked uncertainly.

"But in that case, the offensive and defensive positions will have changed, and the initiative will be in the hands of the enemy." Yang Mingdao.

"The most important thing is that that man is not brave enough. He can use his mind to be foolproof in defense, but he does not have the ability to turn his soldiers into the sharpest swords in offense. Therefore, the only result waiting for him is to be trapped. To die, to be besieged, only to launch futile attacks again and again while being besieged, and ultimately end in disastrous defeat." Yang Ming offered help.

The incident of Ma Di's loss in the street pavilion was a deep memory for Yang Ming. Especially after Yang Ming joined the army, he remembered the countless wars recorded in the annals of history. Yang Ming did not dare to forget the significance of learning from past mistakes. How could you not understand?

War is a mental battle. It is not about what one thinks. The military strategy formulated is also based on the enemy's situation. It is not about deciding a big battle by looking at the map in a big tent. The arrangements are clear.

The Chu army's defense in Pengcheng was perfect, but since Yang Ming already knew this, why did he use the lives of his soldiers to break his head and cause bloodshed?

Yang Ming can use tens of thousands of troops to set up barracks at various transportation points outside Pengcheng, completely cutting off Pengcheng's external connections and turning it into an isolated land. By then, he will still have 50,000 to 60,000 troops. Yang Ming has completely taken the initiative. At that time, whether it is to join forces with the Wei army to the west and attack the Chu army with the help of Xiang Yan, or to the north to sweep across the land of the original Lu State occupied by the Chu State, for Yang Ming , are all feasible things.

That's why Yang Ming said that Xiang Yan's son can't be called a tiger father without a dog son. In other words, Xiang Yan, the father, can't be called a tiger father. Although he can be called a good general, that's all. That’s all.

While Yang Ming was observing Pengcheng, the Chu army on the city wall of Pengcheng was also observing the movements of the Qin army.

As a defensive party, although the Chu army knew that they were no match for the Qin army in a field battle, relying on the city and barriers, they were not without the strength to fight. Therefore, even if the Qin army had already reached the city, there was still no way to defeat the Qin army in Pengcheng. It's still peaceful, they are all elites in a hundred battles, who is more timid than who?

On the city wall, a young man wearing a strange armor stood on the city wall, his palms resting on the female wall, looking at the Qin army outside the city that was like dark clouds.

He was about 25 or 26 years old, tall and strong, and the armor on his body looked like something ordinary at first glance, especially when there were several short spears sticking out of his back like a peacock spreading its tail.

This armor is called the Seven Seas Dragon Armor. According to rumors, hundreds of years ago, in the land of Wuyue, a stranger hunted a dragon in the river, and dug out a piece of strange material that looked like gold but not gold, and looked like jade but not jade from the belly of the dragon. , and later the most powerful armor-forging master at the time used this material as a material to forge such a set of armor, which was named the Seven Seas Dragon Armor.

The Seven Seas Dragon Armor is light in texture, but invulnerable to swords. The sword mentioned here is not an ordinary sword, but one that can protect against famous swords. It can be said that it is truly possible to have one armor on your body and a sharp blade without fear.

And this is not the most magical thing about the Seven Seas Dragon Armor. The most magical thing about the Seven Seas Dragon Armor is that its material can be adjusted according to the body shape of the owner. It can be worn by teenagers and adults.

It is impossible for such a armor to appear in reality, but in this specious world, it is a matter of course.

The person who can wear the sacred weapon of the Seven Seas Dragon Armor must have an extraordinary status, and this young man is not very powerful either. He is the son of General Xiang Yan of Chu State, the young chief of the Xiang clan, and the Lieutenant of Wujun County of Chu State, Xiang Yue. Li Wu had just called him an existence with a tiger father and no dog son.
