Chapter 250 Yan Guoleyi

After the Huai army captured one side of Kuimen, the other side could not be defended. The Shanyue soldiers climbed over the mountains one by one and quickly shuttled through the mountains.

Each of these soldiers wore rattan armor and were only equipped with horizontal knives, hooks, flying claws and bows and arrows. They were far lighter in the mountains than the Chu soldiers equipped with iron armor. After these mountain soldiers climbed the cliffs, there were not many of them.

The Chu defenders were either killed, fled, or surrendered.

The Huai Kingdom quickly occupied Kuimen. Because the water flow in Kuimen was fast and was not conducive to sailing, the Huai Kingdom's army disembarked from Kuimen. After crossing Kuimen, they continued to advance towards Jiangzhou.

When the King of Chu learned that Kuimen had been lost, he was horrified and quickly summoned an army to stop the Huai State. All the armies from the Chu State rushed to Jiangdu.

Sun Bin was not in a hurry to attack, but asked the army behind to repair the road to ensure that the army's retreat was smooth. Sun Bin brought a large number of craftsmen from the Mohist and Gongshu families during this expedition.

Some of these craftsmen stayed behind to command the people behind to repair the roads, and some followed the army.

The news of the Huai Kingdom's attack on Kuimen shocked the entire Western Chu Kingdom. The King of Chu recruited a large number of soldiers to attack Sun Bin. However, the most elite troops of the Chu Kingdom had already gone to attack the Qin Kingdom. Although the remaining troops were large, they were far less powerful.

He is no match for Sun Bin.

Sun Bin led 20,000 elite troops to continuously attack seven cities and defeated tens of thousands of Chu troops. Then the army marched straight in and came to the outside of Jiangzhou City. The Huai State army approached the city. The whole Chu State was shocked. Chu State once again felt that it was destroyed.

National crisis.

It's just that compared to the Chu Kingdom in the past, when the kings were scattered all over the country, the Western Chu Kingdom is now much more united. In addition, Jiangzhou City is a mountain city with a dangerous terrain, far from being comparable to Yingdu. In addition, there are still many people in the city.

There were tens of thousands of troops, so the King of Chu ordered the Badi army to return for reinforcements and ordered the soldiers in the city to defend the city.

When Hanzhong and Brazil learned that the Huai army was approaching the city, they were shocked and mobilized their armies to prepare for the king. However, the army in Brazil had been fighting with the Qin army for a long time and wanted to withdraw, but the Qin army would not agree.

Sima Cuo had long regarded these Chu troops as military exploits, so how could he let them escape? Hanzhong could only send people to make the soldiers who attacked Qin retreat. At the same time, he once again recruited soldiers to go to King Qin of Jiangzhou.

After the war between Qin, Western Chu, and Huai began, Han, Zhao, and Wei once again formed a three-jin coalition to attack Qin. Han and Wei detoured to Anyi and directly attacked Hexi, while Zhao used a large army to attack Qin's Shangjun.

.

The Qin army, which was fighting against the Western Chu State, was suddenly attacked by the Three Jin Dynasty, and several cities were captured in succession. Upon learning of the sneak attack by the three Jin coalition forces, the King of Qin looked gloomy, appointed Gongsun Yan as general, and mobilized a large army to resist the three Jin coalition forces.

At the same time, just after the Huai State attacked the Western Chu State, the Qi State, which had been eager to attack the Huai State for a long time, once again attacked the Huai State. The Huai State had already prepared for Qi State's attack. Before the Qi State army was dispatched, the secret guards had already

The news that Qi State secretly recruited soldiers and hoarded grain and grass came back.

Huai State's army gathered, and Qi State's 200,000 troops attacked Huai, but were easily blocked by Huai State.

At this time, the Qi State was no longer the powerful Qi State during the period of King Qi Wei, but the Huai State was prospering. Wang Xu sent his son Ji as the chief general to lead the army against the Qi State. The young master Ji was the most powerful of the Wang family in this generation.

A disciple with a talent for commanding the art of war.

He studied military strategism under Sun Bin. Although he was not as good as Sun Bin, he was still a great talent in his 90s in general and military strategy.

With him commanding the army, Qi had no chance. Prince Ji commanded the army and was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack. Instead, he let the army defend and lure the Qi army to attack the city.

At the same time, Gongzi Ji sent cavalry to harass the Qi army and attacked the Qi army's food road. The Qi army was harassed by these cavalry.

The cavalry of Huai State is different from the cavalry of Zhao State. Zhao State is located in the north and has many barbarians and is proficient in riding and shooting, while the cavalry of Huai State is more like mounted infantry.

These cavalry move quickly with the help of horses, and in combat they dismount and use crossbows and crossbows. Of course, these cavalry can also use crossbows and crossbows on horses to attack. However, they are not as skilled as the Zhao cavalry.

In this era, the cavalry did not have stirrups, and even the saddles were very crude. Being able to ride on a horse and fight required extremely strong riding skills, and the legs had to be clamped against the horse's belly.

Qi sent soldiers to besiege, but the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry. Instead, they were killed by the cavalry with crossbows. If the Qi army was small in number and not in formation, the Huai cavalry would even take the opportunity to rush forward and defeat it.

If the Qi army is large in number and arranged side by side, they will release crossbows from a distance to harass and attack. The Qi army sends chariots to pursue the cavalry. Although the chariots are faster than the infantry, they still cannot catch up with the cavalry.

At the same time, the cavalry can also use their flexibility to separate the Qi army's chariots and soldiers, and then encircle and kill them.

For a time, they were helpless against the Huai cavalry and could only send out large armies to protect the grain roads.

Due to the harassment of the cavalry, the Qi army's attack on the city was not smooth. The Qi army braved the rain of Huai's arrows to attack the city and suffered heavy casualties. As for the ladder engineering equipment, Huai's crossbows fired rockets and burned them.

Prince Ji was not in a hurry to defeat Qi, but slowly bled Qi, waiting until Qi's soldiers were exhausted, and then sent out a large army to defeat Qi in one battle. In this way, Qi could be defeated successfully, and Huai's casualties would also be reduced.

It will be much smaller.

Yan State, Jicheng.

After more than ten years of hard work and reform, the Yan State is now well-equipped with troops and food. At this time, the Yan State is at the pinnacle of its national power.

The heroic young prince Shen has become the middle-aged King of Yan. At that time, he attracted a large number of talented people through the Golden Platform, allowing the Yan Kingdom to complete the reform.

In the past ten years or so, Yan State defeated Donghu, attacked Loufan, and expanded its territory thousands of miles away, making Yan State a big country with a place of two thousand miles. However, most of the land in Yan State is grassland. Not only is the population sparse, but the climate is also

The cold is not conducive to farming.

King Shen of Yan sighed: "The prosperity of Yan State today is due to the contributions of all the talented people. I heard that Qi State's 200,000 troops were at war with Huai State, and wanted to seize the land of Huaisi. A few years ago, they fought with Wei and Zhao.

Fighting for land, this time it can be said that we have made enemies on all sides. In the past, Qi State lost three Jins in a row, and attacked Yan State from the north, almost destroying Yan State."

"If it weren't for Zhao Wei's help, our Yan State would have been destroyed for a long time. Now our Yan State is strong and powerful, but Qi State is trapped in the Huai State War. Now may be the best time to deal with Qi State!"

Leyi, the Prime Minister of the State of Yan, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now is indeed the time to deal with the State of Qi. The State of Qi has 400,000 soldiers, half of which are fighting against the State of Huai, and the remaining 200,000 are scattered at the border and Linzi. We can just wait and see

Gather your forces to attack Qi."

"When we attack Qi State, Qi State will definitely be in chaos. Huai State will definitely not miss this opportunity. How can Qi State be our opponent of Yan State by then?"
