Outside Ruyin City, as the evening approached, an irregular small town with a radius of twenty miles rose from the ground.

The city walls of the small town are ten feet high, and a trench that is one step wide is dug outside the earth wall. The inside of the trench is close to the above of the earth wall, and sharpened wooden spears are slanted outwards.

The afterglow of the sunset falls on this heavily defended small town, adding a lot of solemn atmosphere.

Outside a large tent in the center, there is a thick flagpole erected on both sides of the left and right. On the flagpole on the right, there is a black dragon flag representing Qin.

The black dragon on the black dragon flag is extremely powerful, looking down on the world, staring at Ruyin City in the south.

The flagpole on the left is slightly lower than five or six feet, and a large "Meng" character is embroidered on the black flag.

Meng Ao passed away, Meng Wu recovered from illness, Meng Yi congratulated Wen, and the appearance of this flag represented Meng Tian, ​​the Meng clan of the Qin war family, came to the Ruyin front in person.

The night gradually fell, and the sunset lost its last bit of light. In the Qin army camp, the soldiers left behind lit torches at intersections, and for a moment, the entire camp was brightly lit.

As the firelight reached, the Chu army led by Dou and Xi slowly retreated to the camp under the cover of Huang Ji and Li Bi.

Huang Ji led the infantry to cut off the rear. Huang Ji led the cavalry to continuously carry out cavalry and shooting. The dense rain of arrows fell towards the Chu army behind him, and the sound of sharp arrows entering the body came from time to time.

"Hand up the shield!"

Xiang Liang commanded the Chu army. The front row of soldiers raised their shields upright, and the back row of soldiers raised their shields high and crossed their heads. The shields and shields were put together to effectively stop the Qin army's arrows.

After retreating back to Ruyin, Xiang Liang quickly made a batch of large shields to prevent the Qin army from peeling the skin.

The Chu army's shield formation was already tight enough that it still could not guarantee to block the Qin army's arrow rain 100%.

"General Xiang, the enemy already has reinforcements, so there is no need to chase after him. Our army should retreat, right?"

The trusted captain who was following Xiang Liang immediately saw that it was getting late, and the Qin army camp appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but persuade him.

Xiang Liang's eyes looked at the Qin army camp through the small hole in the upper right corner of the shield, and his eyes shrank unnaturally.

The military camp built by Meng Tian was not worried about victory or defeat. It was built like a fortress, and the idle force could not be defeated at all.

"Dangdangdang--"

At the top of Ruyin City, a familiar sound of slug came, floating in the dark night.

"retreat!"

Xiang Liang was unwilling to accept it. He originally wanted to wipe out the Chu rebels led by Dou Hexi to shock the Chu people who were both worried, but the Qin army provided timely reinforcements and failed to defeat them.

The Chu army's turtle shell formation retreated slowly with Xiang Liang's order.

At the end of Ruyin City, Xiang Chan led the elite Xiang private soldiers and were ready to respond at any time.

Li Bi led his men to pursue him, but he still failed to seriously damage the elite boys of Commander Xiang Liang.

When you return to the camp, enter the camp, you will eat late and replenish your energy.

The doctors who followed the army entered the camp where the injured soldiers were placed and treated with care.

I have long heard that the doctors under Meng Tian have excellent medical skills, and the injured soldiers can be properly treated and have a very high survival rate.

I saw with my own eyes that the Qin army doctors did not favor one or the other. This Chu people who had just conquered the city and were defeated by Xiang Liang were very at ease.

After the evening meal, Dou and Rhinoceros took a shower, and the fatigue on their bodies dissipated by five or six minutes.

The two walked along the passage in the camp towards the central army's tent, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the tent.

At this time, except for Zhong Chi, Hu Duo, who were on duty, and other captains gathered in the big tent.

Dou and Xi sat down at the end of the left. Looking up, they saw that the eyes of the people looking at them were much softer.

On both sides of the big tent, there were six copper lamps lit on the five-foot-high wooden frames, and a soft light filled the entire big tent.

"Today, Sima Dou left and Sima Xi right leads his army to take the initiative to attack Ruyin to ensure that our army successfully builds the military camp, and he should remember his best contribution."

Meng Tian raised the Triangle Wine Hu on the table and looked at the two of them in a distance.

"It's shameful to say that if the general hadn't sent someone to support us, we would have been defeated by Xiang Liang."

Dou and Xi raised the wine hu in front of them and were in panic. Strictly speaking, they were defeated today, and Meng Tian did not blame him at all.

"Haha, in my eyes, victory or defeat is not the goal, and completing the main general's task is the purpose of the battle."

Meng Tian put down the wine, shook his head and said, "Our army's primary purpose today is to gain a foothold. You two lead the army to fight for time. Even if you fail to defeat Xiang Liang, you will also complete the task assigned by me."

"If you win a battle but fail to complete a military mission, such victory will have no meaning."

When Wei Liao was appointed as the National Guard, he had in-depth exchanges with Meng Tian. The two found that the beheading and decree under the military merit system was quite unreasonable.

Meng Tian felt that beheading was not the goal, but achieving military goals was the goal.

During the Zhaoxiang period, the generals of Qin attacked everywhere and beheaded many. The generals were promoted to their titles, but the strategic situation of Qin did not have an absolute advantage.

After Meng Tian said that, Dou and Xi were completely worried. They had just joined the Qin army and were worried that Meng Tian felt that they had not tried their best to fight and had lost their future.

After appeaseing the two surrendered generals of Chu, Meng Tian withdrew his gaze and turned to the sand table in the center of the tent: "The king ordered us to conquer Shouying within one year. Now Xiang Yan is blocking Ruyin, what do you think?"

After following Meng Tian for a long time, the generals under Meng Tian’s command understood some of Meng Tian’s thoughts.

Meng Tian doesn't like to attack the city head-on. Only when it is absolutely necessary can Meng Tian take his life to attack the city.

Zhang Tuo tilted his head and his eyes kept turning, trying to open his mouth, but in the end he had no good idea.

With Zhang Tuo's character, there is nothing wrong with siege in the city.

Everyone's eyes stared at Ruyin on the sand tray motionlessly. After a while, Meng Hu raised his head.

As Meng Tian’s confidant general, at this time, he needs to stand up and say something, even if he throws bricks and attracts jade.

"General, Ruyin is adjacent to Yingshui, and Yingshui flows into Huai River. Why not let the navy army steal the Yingshui and attack Shouying directly?"

During the early years of fighting, Meng Tian led his cavalry alone into Zhao State and sneaked into the Zhao capital Handan. Since then, Meng Tian’s use of troops has become more and more steady, and he has never had such a crazy move again.

"After the navy was trained, this kind of tactic was not impossible." Meng Xue's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

Sima chou attacked Shu and adopted the same method. The boatman of Lou drifted down and attacked the Chu army, catching the Chu people off guard.

"Would it be too risky?" Xishuang, who was cherishing her life, frowned, and was a little surprised. "As the capital of Chu, Shouying must have been very strict in defense."

"Xiang Yan's troops were in short supply. Xiang Bo led a team of troops back to Jiangdong to fight against the Yue people. There should be no more than 30,000 people in Shouying."
