Dangdangdang——

Outside Chen Ying City, the sound of the withdrawal of the Chu army floating at the top of Chen Ying City. The Chu army's attacking the city quickly retreated like a tide.

The setting sun sets, and the bloody sunset shines, the bodies in the pool of blood appear particularly hideous.

The yellow armor was covered with scarlet blood and mixed with mottled black spots. It was the body of the Qin army.

In the era of cold weapons, the defending city was at a disadvantage. The attacking city often required tragic casualties to capture the heavily guarded city.

The Qin soldiers on the city wall are protected by the city wall, and there is no guarantee that there will be no casualties. The Qin soldiers who fall off the city wall will either be killed or injured.

Even if he was lucky enough to die, he would never have a reason to survive in the face of the Chu army with hatred under the city.

War is often the cruelest and most realistic natural elimination.

Those weak people and generals with lack of military capabilities can only serve as the background board for the torrent of history.

"General, the Chu army retreated."

Chen Ying County Governor's Office became Meng Tian's central army command center. On the sand table, outside Chen Ying's city, half a circle of dense yellow flags were planted.

The 400,000 Chu troops formed a half-encirclement, firmly locking Chen Ying's southern line.

Jing Su received information from the scout and adjusted the latest trend of the Qin-Chu front in time. Xiang Yan's military use ability was good. From the changes in the front trend, Jing Su could detect Xiang Yan's difficulty.

"This time the siege of the city, the Chu army was just a test, and the highlight was still behind!"

Meng Tian supported her hands on the border of the sand table, leaned forward, her eyes crossed the Chu army camp and landed towards the vast rear behind the Chu army camp.

"Twenty-hundred thousand Qin troops defended Chen Ying. As long as they did not make mistakes, they would be at peace inside, Chen Ying's defense line would be as solid as a rock."

When extinguishing Xiong Qi's rebellion, Meng Tian followed the news that Dark Eagle found out and completely eliminated the aristocratic families that colluded with the Chu State. The snake could not do without the heads. Without the aristocratic families to organize and plan, Chen Ying could not get into chaos.

"Is there any news from Li Bi who has been sent back?"

Compared to the current battle situation, Meng Tian was obviously more concerned about the movements of the light cavalry led by Li Bi.

"Li Bi was away from the general's order and waited for an opportunity to harass the Chu army's food route. The scout finally sent back the news, and Li Bi led his army toward Xiang County."

Jing Su pointed at Xiang Yan's position, looked at Meng Tian, ​​and hesitated whether to plant a small black flag representing the Qin army.

"Xiang County is the birthplace of the Xiang family. Seizing Xiang County will not completely cut off the supply of the Chu army, but it will obviously make Xiang Yan feel uncomfortable." Meng Tian nodded and signaled.

After the Xiang family moved eastward to Jiangdong, the Xiang family who stayed in Xiang County was a tribe. There were no capable figures, and the clan power became increasingly declining.

The family migrates outward, and people with enterprising spirit actively explore outside. Those who stay behind are often those conservatives who stick to their shortcomings and intend to keep the status quo.

The Xiang family who stayed in Xiang County was old and had no military talent, and could not stop Li Bi's light cavalry.

In Li Bi's team, Meng Tian specially arranged Li Zuoche to assist.

Li Zuoche from Zhao State was very skilled in martial arts. After Meng Tian’s past few years, he learned a lot of military tactics, and his future was limitless.

When fighting and playing chess, the situation on the chess board is changing at any time. This ability to deal with changes is the most test of the ability of the generals to lead the army.

In the Chu army camp, Xiang Yan's central army commander tent, Xiang Rong, Xiang Liang, Xiang Chan and other Xiang family members sat in a row and gathered together.

Among the senior officials of the Chu State, the trend of familyization is very obvious.

The positions of high-powered positions such as the King of Chu and Shangzhu Kingdom have always been passed down among several nobles such as Jing, Zhao, Qu, and Xiang.

The Xiang family joined the army for generations. Xiang Yan supported Fu Chu usurping the throne and obtained the position of Shangzhu Kingdom. After twenty years of operation, the Xiang clan members were all over the army.

As a large family in the Chu State, the Xiang family has grown up and has many children. The clan maintains the tradition of practicing martial arts and military techniques, and has produced many outstanding generals.

Among these people, Xiang Yan has achieved the greatest achievements and the most prestige.

"Why are there so much food and grass this month?"

Sitting upright in the main seat, Xiang Yan swept over the bamboo slips on the table, squinted at the numbers of food and grass on it, and frowned.

"The Qin army sent cavalry to harass our army's food route. Several batches of food and grass have been burned by the Qin army." Xiang Liang quickly lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.

Xiang Liang was a valiant person, and Xiang Liang was always responsible for the logistics and food scheduling of the Chu Army camp.

"These Qin cavalry, like thieves, emerged from nowhere. When our army arrived, they scattered again, which made people have nowhere to start!"

Xiang Rong's eyes were filled with anger and punched the table in front of him, indignation.

The Qin army claimed to be martial, and Xiang Rong had long been looking forward to a face-to-face decisive battle with the Qin army. At the foot of Chen Ying, the Qin army defended the city and refused to fight.

The cavalry sent by Meng Tian played hide-and-seek with Xiang Rong all day long, which made Xiang Rong very irritable.

"The Qin army is planning to fight for a long time, and when our army's food and grass cannot support it."

Xiang Yan's personal general Xiang Chan said in a timely manner.

"Yes, this is what Meng Tian is trying to do."

Xiang Liang nodded in agreement.

The daily consumption of the 400,000 army was not a small amount. According to the original plan of the Chu army, Xiong Qi hoarded the food accumulated in Chen Ying to supply the Chu army.

The Chu army relied on Chen Ying's supplies and could attack and defend. Unexpectedly, the plan was not as good as change. Meng Tian suddenly attacked and Xiong Qi fled in panic. Most of the massive supplies left in Chen Ying fell into the hands of the Qin army.

In order to cooperate with the Chu army to capture Chen Ying, Xiong Qi did his best to stockpile grain that could provide 400,000 troops a year. Now the 200,000 Qin troops in the city are not in short supply at all.

"Report—"

Outside the camp, a personal soldier of Xiang Yan, holding a flag in his right hand and a bamboo slip in his left hand, rushed towards him.

"Report to the general, news came from the Xiang County Guard that the Qin army captured Xiang County and burned the city and left."

"What did you say?"

With a bang, Xiang Yan slapped a roll of bamboo slips in her hand heavily.

"The Qin army pretended to be the team that transported grain in our army, mingled into the city, and captured the city gate, and Xiang County was lost."

"Damn Qin people!"

"Sneaking and sneaking, Meng Tiankong has the name of a brave general, and he is clearly a little thief!"

When the Xiang clan members in the tent heard that Xiang County had fallen, they cursed Meng Tian.

The Xiang family's base camp has long been away from Xiang County. They actually don't care about the safety of Xiang County's tribesmen. However, the food and supplies left in Xiang County are a considerable amount.

"What's the use of saying this now!" Xiang Yan snorted coldly, and glanced at everyone in the account, "It's too cunning to criticize the enemy. It's better to think of a way to deal with the harassment of the Qin cavalry? How to raise enough military rations?"

Speaking of this, Xiang Yan's eyes fell motionlessly on Xiang Liang.

Xiang Rong was more brave and powerful, but Xiang Rong was not suitable for dealing with the cunning Qin cavalry.

Xiang Liang had not spoken yet, but Xiang Chan came up with an idea and stood up and said, "I haven't thought of a way to deal with the Qin cavalry, but I have an idea for raising military rations..."
