The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Along the way, each city has gathered some sufficient defensive troops, and stationed checkpoint defense lines in some dangerous places, like nails, nailed to every necessary place in Chu State.

If Chu State ignores them and advances all the way, then they will harass Chu State's logistics and follow behind, causing some harassment from time to time.

But if you want to crush them all the way, although these cities are not majestic, they still have some basic city defenses, and some dangerous places occupy geographical advantages and are extremely difficult to attack.

Along the way, the Chu army had to pay a very heavy price to advance so many miles.

After going all the way like this, after beating him for nearly two months, the Chu army has only advanced a hundred miles. This kind of extremely low efficiency, not to mention that the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms who are waiting for the support of Chu State, can't wait, even Chu State feels extremely embarrassed.

As for the Qin army on the opposite side, they secretly laughed at Chu's incompetence.

In order to change the form of the battlefield, Xiang Yan made an extremely risky decision, directly ignoring the cities along the way and rushing all the way, regardless of logistics, and only brought food for more than ten days.

Abandoning many trivial matters, Chu's marching speed increased rapidly. In a few days, the front line was advanced by more than 100 miles.

At this time, the position of the Chu army has shifted to the city of Namliang in the south of Korea.

This once important town in the south of South Korea has now fallen into the hands of Qin State because of Nei Shiten's rebellion, and has become an important pass to prevent his reinforcements from Chu State from going north.

In the north of Nanliang City, 100 miles ahead, is the famous Yique Pass.

It is here that Bai Qi rose up. He beheaded tens of thousands of Korean troops in one battle, allowing his qualifications to successfully appear in front of the desk of King Qin at that time, thus embarking on his journey as a military god.

But now that Chu State has not even captured Nanlian City, how could it be possible to reach Yique?

Although the Chu army advanced rapidly and soon reached Nanliang City, the hidden dangers he left behind were also extremely great.

On the land 100 miles south of it, dozens of nails buried by the Qin army were left behind, forming a tight blockade network, which forcibly blocked the aid from the south of Chu State in the land more than 100 miles away. On the ground of life and death.

As for the state of Chu, after a series of previous assaults and fortifications, his losses were also extremely heavy. In the situation of 300,000 elites, 50,000 people have been injured, leaving only 250,000 exhausted troops.

Opposite them, in the majestic city of Nanliang, 100,000 troops of the Qin State were stationed in full battle.

They will stick to this majestic city, just like South Korea not long ago, relying on a strong city, dragging the 200,000 army of Qin to death.

Here, the 100,000 Qin army will drag the 250,000 Chu army to death and lead them into the endless abyss.

Qin State has no confidence in whether they can hold this city, but their confidence is absolutely sufficient if they can drag Chu State down.

Just like the previous Battle of Xinzheng, when South Korea had enough supplies, the morale of 100,000 soldiers was low, and soldiers who feared Qin Ruhu could defend Xinzheng City for more than a month.

So now the soldiers of Qin State with high morale and the determination to die, although they are old and weak, and their physical strength is far inferior to those young and strong, but they have the belief that they are not afraid of life and death.

With this belief, it may be impossible to defend the city, but it is absolutely possible to drag the Chu army on the opposite side to die together.

In the final analysis, it is the bloody fighting of the Qin people, the militant factor inherited from their ancestors, that affects them.

Especially after Shang Yang's reform, the system of farming and warfare has thoroughly penetrated into the hearts of every old Qin person in Qin, completely releasing the violence in their bodies, making them even more fearless of life and death, and even proud of fighting to death.

And after hundreds of years of fighting, Qin State has been suppressing the six countries, and the confidence, honor, and contempt for the six countries in Shandong are rooted in the hearts of every soldier in Qin State. of.

Therefore, although the Qin army in the city is less than half of the number on the opposite side, and there are few young and strong, it is almost none. The only thing that can be commended is that the equipment is slightly better than that of the Chu army, and it takes advantage of the defense of the city.

But their will to fight is absolutely peaceful, and their contempt for the southern Chu army still exists in their hearts.

In their opinion, the current state of Qin is just a moment of ignorance, and these weak people took advantage of it. As long as the state of Qin is relieved, then these are all chickens and dogs, and they won't last long.

And what they need to do now is to use their humble lives to buy some time for the Qin country to take a breath, and at the same time, to attract these enemies and go to see the King of Hades with them.

...

Xiang Yan looked at the majestic city in front of him, frowning tightly, lingering worries condensed in his mind, constantly consuming his exhausted spirit.

"This Qin army is really fearless!" After staring for a long time, Xiang Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Qin State deserves to be called the country of tigers and wolves. Faced with this disadvantage, the soldiers still have such a high will to fight. Compared with Chu State, it is really much stronger.

Even in Xiang Yan's heart, he couldn't help sighing, it's no wonder that Chu State was defeated repeatedly in the confrontation with Qin State, and even the country was lost several times.

"However, it is precisely because of this that I want to hit Qin hard. Taking advantage of this time when Qin is tired and weak, I will weaken it severely, and even try to destroy him. Only in this way can I win the victory for Chu. There is a glimmer of life!" Xiang Yan showed a cruel expression, looking at the energetic Qin Jun in the distance, although each face was extremely young or wrinkled, but full of determination, Xiang Yan clenched the long sword in his hand , exuded a murderous intent.

Turning around, Xiang Yan ordered to the messenger beside her: "Attack!"

The sound of drums beating like thunder, and the sound of bangs can be heard endlessly. With a sense of rhythm, the soldiers of the Chu Army approached Nanliang City step by step.

At the same time, the siege equipment behind them was also pushed forward, constantly adjusting their direction, and finally all pointed to Nanliang City.

The situation in the sky is changing, and even the sky and the earth have changed color because of the crushing of the army.

The boundless Chu army went up to meet them. In front of their eyes, the majestic Nanliang City seemed insignificant, like a reef on the sea, which would be submerged at any time. The only difference is how long this reef can last!

There is not much time left for the Chu army. This time, in order to get here quickly, Chu State abandoned the logistics and only brought food for more than ten days.

Therefore, the action speed of Chu State must be accelerated.
