After taking Wang Jian's military order, Meng Tian clearly saw Wang Jian's cautious attitude towards using troops. Perhaps thinking of Meng Tian's youth, Wang Jian's tone was not heavy.

For soldiers, being young means being inexperienced. Although Meng Tian once defeated the Chu army led by Li Yuan, Li Yuan relied on a girl to take the throne and did not know about military affairs at all. Wang Jian did not think Meng Tian was so genius when defeating such an enemy.

However, in the ancient battlefield, the transmission of information was inevitably lagging behind. Wang Jian didn't know that the Chu army invaded Nanyang once again fled back to Chu State in a panic.

According to Wang Jian's military order, Meng Tian had exceeded the task and just had to wait for Pu Ye's Chu army to withdraw from Nanyang.

After the Yuguan period, Jing Wei's army was dispersed and there was no reinforcement. The Chu army would naturally retreat due to difficulties.

But at this time, Meng Tian did not think of sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight and preserve his strength, but instead directed the Nanyang garrison to guard the only way for the Chu army to retreat.

It took some time for the news of the collapse of the Chu army to reach Pu Ye's ears.

Wu Pass is located in a narrow area of ​​Bingshui River Valley. When the Chu army attacked Wu Pass and continued to advance towards Guanzhong, if it could not quickly break through Shang County and the territory of Yao Pass, it would have been a long time, and the situation on the battlefield would only become increasingly unfavorable.

"Is it still impossible to conquer the Ship Pass?"

Pu Ye, the former brave general of the Chu army, felt a little impatient. The Wuguan guard was mediocre, and the Chu army successfully attacked. However, unexpectedly, the guard of the Yuguan guard was located in the rear, but his guard was even more strict and he did not relax at all.

The commander of the army plays an immeasurable role in shaping the military's personality.

The vanguard of the Chu army, only with a powerful general like Pu Ye, dared to fight and had the momentum of moving forward. The defenders of the Yai Pass thought that they would be extremely strict in their military management, otherwise they would not have reacted quickly and repelled the Chu army's siege.

For three days, under the Shiguan, the Chu army threw down three thousand corpses, but still did not shake the standing Shiguan.

"General, our army does not have sufficient siege equipment, and the Qin army has sufficient strength..." A captain observed Pu Ye's face and said hesitantly: "I am afraid that our army will not be able to defeat him."

After the defenders of the Ship Pass supported the Chu army's efforts, they soon received support from nearby Bashui County soldiers.

Pu Ye knew in his heart that the Chu army had lost the best opportunity to break through the island, but he still had a last glimmer of hope in his heart.

The State of Chu would not attack Qin for no reason. If he did not join the coalition forces of the Union and the Union, he would not believe that the King of Chu would agree to be an enemy of the Qin people. The State of Chu is no longer the state of Chu that was able to send troops to Guanzhong and threaten Xianyang from the past.

The only possibility is that the State of Chu participated in the Hezong.

At this time, the coalition forces of the Union Army, which were mainly powered by Zhao, should be fighting fiercely with the Qin people.

The better the Chu army fought in the south, the greater the pressure on the Qin people, so that they could provide strong support to the Union coalition forces in the north.

In the early years, when Pu Ye first joined the army, the Chu people went north to participate in the coalition, but the countries were intrigued and stumbled, and they were determined to make their allies bleed, which led to their defeat by the Qin people. Even before the Qin people came to attack, they broke up.

The feudal system of Chu State was prevalent, and there were a large number of private soldiers rampant in the territories of each clan. However, when it came to sending troops to the King of Chu, they complained and cried endlessly.

Pu Ye came from a small clan and knew the danger of sabotaging each other within. Even though Jing Wei had no intention of fighting to the death, he still bravely moved forward.

"After the evening meal, attack the city again while it's dark!"

In Pu Ye's eyes, the Chu army, which was not in charge of the troops, was just a number. However, Pu Ye no longer had the confidence to capture the Ship Pass. If he could not conquer the city again, he could only order to retreat.

The guards of Ship Pass did not eat the soft and hard, and could not leave, and Pu Ye had no choice.

After Pu Ye's order was issued, many Chu soldiers lamented in their hearts. Meeting a general who was fighting for life may not be a blessing.

After being consumed under the city of Yuguan, the morale of the Chu army no longer had the spirit of attacking Wuguan.

The sun sets and the twilight is approaching.

In the Chu army camp, smoke rose.

Pu Ye knelt in the camp, with a calm look on his face, looking at the head of the Yiguan city, full of expectations.

He hoped that the guards of Ship Pass could launch a surprise attack at this time. At this time, the Chu army's evening food should be the time when the garrison was most relaxed.

Half an hour later, Pu Ye was disappointed

At the foot of the city of Yuguan, there was no movement at all, and the Qin army completely ignored the flaws of the Chu army.

The guards of Ship Pass are difficult to deal with!

Should I continue to attack the city? At this time, even Pu Ye, who dared to fight, felt a little hesitant.

The Zhao envoy explained the Chu army's combat intentions clearly, and tried his best to restrain the Chu army and create conditions for the coalition forces to break into Guanzhong.

At present, the Chu army has already broken through Wu Pass and should have completed the mission of the Hezong. Moreover, without the reinforcements from Jing Wei, Pu Ye finally felt that he lacked momentum.

"General, it's not good. Jing Wei's army has defeated the Qin army!"

While Pu Ye was still hesitating, news came that surprised him.

"Jing Wei's army has 60,000 people, how could it fail so quickly?" Pu Ye couldn't believe it at all: "What the hell is going on?"

"Our army was stationed in Huyang, but the Qin army stolen into the city at night, setting fires everywhere, and Jing Wei died in the chaos." The captain who came to report the military situation continued: "The army was unowned, the army was in a panic, the soldiers were scattered, and the army scattered like this!"

"It's so incompetent!"

Pu Ye couldn't help but curse, "Who told Jing Wei to act slowly, and said that he was to guard against the garrison in Nanyang, but the result was such a result."

Pu Ye knew about the Qin army in Nanyang, but there were not many people at all. The Qin people needed to station in Wancheng to prevent the Koreans from rebelling. There were probably less than 20,000 people coming to fight. The Chu army was in Huyang City, several times the enemy, and was still defeated. Except for the incompetence of the chief general, there seemed to be no other statement.

Besides, the commander of the Qin army in Nanyang became the county lieutenant because of his relationship with the little Qin King. Pu Ye didn't believe it at all. Jing Wei couldn't even deal with such a young novice general.

To be honest, Pu Ye wrongly accused Jing Wei.

Before Jing Wei fell asleep, the information he received was that the Qin army was still in Jiyang, so he would never have thought that when he woke up, the Qin army had already killed him.

Who would have thought that the chief general of the Qin army, who led only 4,000 cavalry, would dare to launch a large-scale attack on the Chu army?

"Has the news of our army's retreat spread?" No matter how much complained, it would be useless. Pu Ye quickly adjusted his mentality.

The so-called famous generals must always be prepared to face the most unfavorable situation.

"I have already controlled the soldier who escaped from Hu Yang." A trace of pity flashed in the captain's eyes.

"Kill him and prepare to retreat!" Pu Ye ordered expressionlessly.

"promise!"

Throughout history, in order to avoid the news of failure affecting morale, generals led troops often killed those who brought bad news.

These conscientious soldiers never forget to bring the news to their compatriots, but after they died, they could not even leave their names.

"Meng Tian, ​​the descendants of the Meng family, let me come and meet you!" Taking advantage of the night, the Chu army quietly retreated, but Pu Ye's heart surged again: "If we can kill the generals of the Meng family, we can't conquer Wu Pass, it's nothing......"
