Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"The Captain of the Guards of the Qin State has been the most famous general in the world for the past five years. Only Li Mu of the Zhao State can compare with him. Yingzhao, do you think such a person comes with a heavy army? What means will he use to attack the city?" Xiang Yue looked back and asked a strong man beside him carrying a pair of halberds.

Yingzhao, the leader of the Thunder Leopard Army of the Chu State, bravely championed the three armies with a pair of black golden halberds. Among the Chu armies, he could almost be called the most powerful general and a first-rate master among the few armies.

"Although Yang Ming is famous for his bravery in the three armies, from his several famous battles, he has always pushed his calculations to the extreme, almost leaving no tricks behind. If such a person wants to attack the city, he must first test it, and then Looking for a way to break the city." Yingzhao replied.

The Thunder Leopard Legion is the most stable legion among the Chu army and is the best at defense. At this point, it can almost compete with the elite Wei soldiers. One of the reasons is precisely because of the meticulous thinking of the general Yingzhao. , which can be described as two extremes from his rough appearance.

"I think so too, but Pengcheng is not that easy to attack. Just the outer barriers are enough for the Qin army to attack for a month. And no one knows what the war will develop in a month. ." Xiang Yue said calmly.

Let him go out of the city to fight the Qin army. He does not have that kind of strength, nor that kind of confidence, but relying on Pengcheng's defense, Xiang Yue still has enough confidence. In the wars of this era, defense has taken a huge advantage. of.

What responded to Xiang Yue was Yingzhao's silence.

Under the gaze of the Chu army, among the 100,000 Qin troops, the soldiers were divided and headed in different directions.

Just when the Chu army was confused, the Qin army began to set up camp calmly. Since the Qin army had no intention of attacking the city, the Chu army would naturally not cause any trouble.

In the next few days, the Qin army still did not attack the city, and it was not just as simple as not attacking the city. The one hundred thousand Qin army was actually doing a very strange thing, digging trenches. And this book This is what the Chu army did before.

"What on earth is the Qin army doing?" Above Pengcheng, Xiang Yue looked at the busy Qin army outside the city. For a moment, he lost his composure and was filled with surprise and uncertainty. There must be a monster if something goes wrong.

"There must be a conspiracy." Xiang Yue pondered, but couldn't think of a reason at all, but he could still keep his composure.

However, after nearly 100,000 Qin troops dug trenches and built camps for three days, Xiang Yue and Yingzhao couldn't sit still. They already felt something was wrong.

"Is this what the Qin army wants?" Liang Yue stood on the city wall for a whole day, and suddenly realized what the problem was.

"They are going to use defense as offense and completely seal us in Pengcheng." Yingzhao said with a breath of cold air.

The defense system of the Chu army in Pengcheng is not imperfect, but it is precisely because it is so perfect that the entire Pengcheng is as strong and invulnerable as a turtle shell. However, when the Qin army gave Pengcheng the only place where the turtle could stick its head out. When it is completely blocked, they really become a turtle that is difficult to move.

This is what the Qin army is doing now. The camps and barriers built by the Qin army on the periphery of the Chu army's Pengcheng defense system are to seal off the Chu army in Pengcheng.

"This?" As Yingzhao's words came out, the last trace of luck in Xiang Yue's heart was broken.

Once the Qin army completely builds the barrier blocking Pengcheng, the 70,000 to 80,000 Chu army in Pengcheng will be completely destroyed. By then, the Qin army will still have at least 50,000 to 60,000 people able to move freely. By then, not only Suiyang The main force of the Chu army will face the threat of the Qin army, and even Shouchun will be exposed to the Qin army's attack range.

Using 30,000 people to destroy a Pengcheng city and 70,000 to 80,000 Chu troops is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

Now, the defensive Chu army was thinking about how to attack, but the Qin army, which was supposed to be on the offensive side, became the defensive side. The problem of overcoming the enemy turned to the Chu army.

"We can't sit back and watch the Qin army completely build the barrier camp." Xiang Yue looked at Yingzhao and said.

"I'm afraid attacking at this time is not a good choice." Yingzhao replied. The Chu army in Pengcheng was already a weak side. If they went out of the city to attack the Qin army, how could they win?

"But do we have a better choice now?" Xiang Yue asked.

It is almost impossible to win by attacking outside the city, but it is even more impossible to retreat inside the city.

"What if the Qin army is waiting for us to attack?" Yingzhao asked his own question.

When the two armies face each other, falling into each other's rhythm is fatal. If they are passive, there is no chance.

"This?" Xiang Yue hesitated for a moment. What Yingzhao said was not unreasonable. What if the Qin army wanted to force the Chu army out of the city to attack?

Once the Chu army leaves the city, it gives up its defensive advantage. During the attack, especially when one's own forces are weak, not to mention the Xiang Yue and Lei Bao Legions, they are the three most elite legions of the Chu State and Even though Xiang Yan was here, she didn't have the confidence to win in Yang Ming's hands.

The bloody lessons between Wei Jun and Zhao Jun have proven that the offensive capabilities of Yang Ming, the guard captain of the Qin Kingdom, and Li Mu of the Zhao Kingdom are two of the best in the world. Attacking in front of Yang Ming is just a trick.

But can the Chu army really just huddle in Pengcheng and let the Qin army do whatever they want on the land of Chu?

For a time, both Xiang Yue and Yingzhao were in an embarrassing situation where they could not advance or retreat. Only then did they realize what a big mistake they had made before, which was a fatal mistake.

The defense cannot be 100% perfect, but should leave room for attack in the defense. Now we can have a well-founded advance and retreat, instead of like now, the entire Chu army in Pengcheng has dug several holes because of the Qin army. After a few days of building a stronghold and a stronghold, they were now trapped in an almost unsolvable predicament.

When the Chu army was unable to advance or retreat, Yang Ming met an unfamiliar acquaintance in the main camp of the Qin army: Wei Yong.

"Wei Yong has met Lord Protector." Wei Yong, dressed in commoner clothes, saluted Yang Ming.

"Your Excellency, are you here on behalf of the General of Wei?" Yang Ming asked knowingly. If it weren't for the letter from the General of Wei, Wei Yong would naturally not be able to appear here.

"Exactly." Wei Yong said.

"What's the matter?" Yang Ming asked.

"The general asked Yang Hujun to send troops to help." Wei Yong directly stated his intention.

"When the troops were dispatched, the Wei army and the Qin army had already divided their respective attack areas. Suiyang belongs to the Wei army's attack area. At this time, it is not appropriate for the Qin army to go to help, right?" Is it Yang Ming's old behavior? .

Before the war started, the people of Wei State were worried about Qin State's bad intentions, so they made a decision to divide their forces and attack. Naturally, Qin State had no objection to this. It was precisely because of this that the Wei army went down the Sui River. Attacking Suiyang, the Qin army came out from Dongjun, walked through Dingtao, passed Shanfu, and passed through Peixian County, attacking the city and building strongholds all the way, directly interrupting the Si River Basin, and finally came to the city of Pengcheng.

However, the success of the Qin army's attack was only the success of the Qin army and had nothing to do with the Wei army. Not only did the Wei army's offensive not go smoothly, it also suffered a bloody blow under Suiyang City, with no chance of victory in sight.

Under such circumstances, the entire Wei state no longer cared about their previous worries, and only thought about being able to mobilize the Qin army, so that the Qin army and the Wei army could join forces to deal with the Chu army together.

However, it was the State of Wei that wanted to divide its troops before, and now it is the State of Wei that wants to merge. When will the State of Wei become the master of the Qin Army?

Everyone in the Wei state also knew about this situation, so Wei Yong appeared in the Qin army camp at this time.

"At this moment, Yang Hujun, at this time, the Wei army was blocked under Suiyang City, and it would be difficult to break through in a short time. If the Qin army attacked Pengcheng, it would be difficult to break through the city in a short time. Under the stalemate between the two places, if they break out If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid that if Qin and Wei join forces to attack Chu, they will be defeated." Wei Yong explained his reasons.

"Then why can't the Wei army abandon Suiyang, move their troops to Pengcheng, and join forces with our Qin army to capture Pengcheng in one fell swoop? When the time comes, the Qin State will donate Pengcheng to the Wei State. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for the whole Wei State? thing." Even if Yang Ming originally planned to completely trap Pengcheng to death, and then move his troops to the Suiyang battlefield to help the Wei army capture Suiyang, but now that Wei has taken the initiative, Yang Ming will naturally have to play it safe and raise the price. This matter is just right for Yang Ming and Qin Jun at this time.

"Yang Hujun, you also know that it is not easy for the army to evacuate under Suiyang City, so how can the Chu army sit back and watch the army come east to join the Qin army?" Wei Yong said slightly embarrassed.

Although Yang Ming's attitude was not very good at this time, Wei Yong still had his own confidence, because he had already chosen to cooperate with Luo Wang, and Luo Wang also promised to fight against Chu in the war between Qin and Wei. Help him return to the court of Daliang.

Of course, Luo Wen helped Wei Yong in this way not because he was willing to help others. Luo Wen naturally had his own purpose in helping Wei Yong and wanted to get adequate rewards from Wei Yong.

Wei Yong is naturally aware of this, but now that he has nothing and can still do business with Luo Wang, he doesn't mind what kind of price he has to pay. Anyway, the price will ultimately be borne by Wei State. Yes, it has nothing to do with Wei Yong.

It was precisely because of Luo Wang's promise that Wei Yong was certain that his mission this time would be successfully completed.

"Let Wei Jun wait, I still have some unfinished matters here." Yang Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wei Yong. Although Yang Ming wanted to use a snare to cooperate with Wei Yong, the snare was a snare, and Yang Ming was Yang Ming. The matter does not require Yang Ming to end it personally.

Seeing Yang Ming's cold attitude, Wei Yong wisely chose to shut up, but he already had a judgment in his mind: Did the Qin general not treat me well because of the trap? This attitude just proves it. He will fulfill Luo Wang's promise to me.
