The bright moon dominated the world during the Qin Dynasty

Queyang.

The Qin flag is fluttering, and the royal capital run by two generations of Qin monarchs has not become deserted because Qin moved its capital to Xianyang.

On the contrary, this place is prosperous with commerce and is one of the most prosperous places in Guanzhong.

In the past, Qin and Wei fought for hegemony in Guanzhong. In the battle between Yin and Jin, the Qin army was defeated and the land in Hexi was captured by Wei.

Once Hexi was lost, Qin's hinterland was exposed to Wei's military front.

From then on, the Qin State built Yueyang, which was run by two generations, Xian Gong and Xiao Gong. After Shang Jun's reform, he allied with Qi and seized the land of Hexi from Wei.

After capturing the land in Hexi, Qin had already gained all the power in Guanzhong, and the military value of the capital city of Yueyang had also lost its effect.

After that, Shang Jun built a new capital north of the Wei River, and the capital of Qin moved from Yueyang to Xianyang, where it remains today.

Standing at the top of Yueyang City, Duke Heng looked at the desolate scene in the distance and sighed.

"In previous years, today, before this city gate, there would have been a bustling scene with merchants coming and going, and boats and cars constantly coming and going."

Pang Nuan led his army to the east of the river and attacked the west of the river. The troops passed by Luoshui and captured Chongquan.

However, the coalition forces will not stop there.

This is the consensus of the Qin government and the public, so the veteran general Hegong was urgently transferred here from Xianyang.

The soldiers around him were carrying the equipment to defend the city from under the city tower, and the grain and grass shipped from Xianyang were also being placed in the grain pile.

"Don't worry, General. With my father-in-law, Loser, helping to defend the city, the coalition forces will not easily capture this place."

Gongshu Chou stood beside the Duke, but what he said made the Duke laugh.

"Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Gongshu family is good at attacking, while the Mohist family is good at defending. Now that I hear Mr. Gongshu's words, I don't know whether I should be happy or worried."

Yueyang was once an important military town and the capital of the Qin State, but after all, it was more than a hundred years ago.

Since Wei's forces withdrew from Hexi, the only enemies Qin had to face were the surrounding Rongdi, which was not a serious problem. Yueyang was no longer the front line, but became the hinterland.

In addition, Yueyang is the main road from Guanzhong to the Three Jin Dynasties, with prosperous business traffic. Over the past hundred years, the Qin State demolished many original military facilities, expanded the city walls, and built many houses and official offices. This is also As a result, while the city's economic value rose, its military value dropped a lot.

Gongshu Qiu lowered his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment. The scene in front of me is indeed a bit ridiculous. Ever since Gongshuban and Mozi competed in the palace of Chu three hundred years ago, Gongshuban has been known for being good at attacking for hundreds of years.

"The disciples of Gongshujia have already assisted the sergeants in building the defenses, but how much time do we have?"

This is the thing Gongshu Qiu wants to know most. After all, the layout of city defense takes time, and even the debugging of the mechanism beast cannot be completed in a short time.

The defensive battle cannot bring out the full power of the public loser machine beast.

Gongshuqiu must spend time coordinating the operation of the machine beasts at each pass. This time, even the fastest, will take two or three days.

"The heavy spring has fallen, and Pang Nuan's army has been able to reach this level. It may take at least a few days, or at most ten days. The coalition forces will definitely come."

Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away, extending in all directions.

Duke He couldn't give an accurate answer, he just said to Gong Shuqiu beside him.

"At this moment, Xianyang's soldiers and horses are gathered in Gaoling, preparing to deal with the coalition forces. This is not the main battlefield."

Yueyang was the former royal capital and was of great significance, so the Qin army had to defend it.

However, the senior officials in Xianyang did not place high hopes on it, and instead stationed the main forces in Gaoling.

First, Gaoling is close to Xianyang, so it is easy to arrange defense facilities nearby. Secondly, it is more convenient to defend Xianyang.

"Is the situation so bad?"

Gong Shuqiu spoke slowly, but soon felt that he had made a mistake and closed his mouth.

The Qin army did not lack in strength, but on this battlefield, Pang Nuan's army had a much higher military advantage than the Qin army.

"Soldiers who are capable of conquering and fighting are all on the front line. Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. The soldiers are tied up, so naturally they will be in trouble."

Within one's own borders and outside one's own borders, the playing methods are naturally different. This is even more true near the capital of one's own country.

All Pang Nuan's actions were based on the premise of conquering Xianyang, and the Qin army's important goal was also to protect Xianyang.

Everything is on the safe side.

Pang Nuan took advantage of a flaw and attacked Xianyang, catching the Qin army by surprise.

"It has been many years, but our army has never been so aggrieved."

Mr. He sighed slightly, feeling helpless. At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the distant camp. "what is that?"

However, before Gong Shuqiu had time to reply, a thick horn sound came from the camp five miles away.

"It's Zhao Jun!"

Gong Shuqiu's words still echoed in his ears. Duke Hui waved his hand and immediately gave the order.

"Meet the enemy!"

After the order was passed, the well-trained Qin army immediately made preparations to respond to the enemy.

"This is Zhao Jun's elite cavalry. Who is leading it?"

Zhao Jun was marching very fast, and after breaking through the grain and grass supplies that were five miles away, he immediately headed towards Yueyang City.

It wasn't until Zhao Jun's elite cavalry came into view that Duke Hui realized what he was doing and cursed loudly.

"Only people who don't care about their lives have such a lifeless fighting style."

Duke Heng was a veteran general of the Qin army. At this moment, he could see the opponent's military strength and finally understood how Wangcheng and Chongquan were lost.

"It's not unfair to lose!"

A surge of hot blood surged up, and Mr. Lu's face turned red. At this moment, there were many Guizhou soldiers outside the city gate, but he had no time to gather them.

"Archers and crossbowmen will be in position within fifty breaths. Stones and rolling logs will be ready."

Duke Heng did not have many troops in his hands, and even the provisions and weapons were not fully in place.

According to the plan, troops and supplies will not be fully in place until tomorrow morning. But the plan did not expect that Zhao Jun would arrive so quickly.

Judging from the situation, the opponent had just laid down the heavy spring, and they didn't even take a break. They came here without stopping, without delaying a moment.

In the distance, Zhanri watched the battle between the Qin and Zhao armies, raising his sword slightly.

"He is indeed here!"

Li Wu stood beside Zie Ri, a little surprised.

"My subordinates don't understand. Lord Zhanri got information about Zhao Jun's surprise attack. Why didn't he report it?"

The hand that covered the sun carefully stroked the sword in his hand, and his voice was hoarse.

"At this moment, there are no extra troops near Xianyang, and there is no time and energy to rush to support Yueyang. This information is of no use to the Qin army, but will cause unnecessary disputes. On the contrary, for Luo Wang, it may not be It’s bad news.”

Zhanri looked at the scene in front of him, as if admiring a beautiful picture.

"What do you mean, Lord Zhiri?"

"Zhao Shuang is among thousands of troops. It is almost impossible to kill him."

Murderous intent flashed through Zhanri's eyes.

"Only when the coalition forces are defeated will he be buried. The closer he gets to Xianyang, the harder it will be to escape from the trap that has been woven long ago."
