Chapter 1030           Suppression Plan

In the matter of foreign invasion, there is no need to do any pre-war mobilization. It is the duty of soldiers to defend the national home, not to mention that Xiao Yuan even gave Yan Qi a death order.

Therefore, this siege battle was extremely bloody.

The entire Qin army was full of morale, and it was a desperate fight. Looking at the entire front, you can see that Qin army soldiers were stabbed to death by a scimitar as soon as they attacked the city. However, before they died, they would inevitably swing their swords to take away one person and drop them down to the city at the same time as the enemy.

Although the Southern Barbarians were as fierce as they were when they massacred the people, they were soon beaten to death with the brave and warlike Qin army.

The entire city wall and ladders were the Qin army soldiers who were continuing to go on, and they never stopped.

The piles of heavy shield hands below were covering the siege, and the rocks fell on the shield. The soldiers could not bear the burden and died after many bloodshed.

Arrows are like rain.

The oil altar was still slamming everywhere on the city wall in a mess, bursting.

There were countless people gathered at the city gate, pushing tall siege cars to hit violently.

The generals of each unit were holding battle swords and kept commanding and shouting on the front line.

The whole scene was shocking and tragic.

Looking at the Qin army that emerged from time to time, it seemed as if it would attack at any time. The Southern Barbarian King was nervous and shouted: "Hold on! Hold on to me-"

This battle lasted until the sunset, and the Qin army finally made a sound of gold.

After the fierce battle, the city was in tragic state, with rolling stones scattered, blood flowing, and arrows scattered.

Seeing the army outside the pass retreat like a tide, the barbarian generals breathed a sigh of relief.

As night fell, Nanman and others also started a discussion on the battle in the county hall.

Someone couldn't help but say, "The title of the Qin army's Tiger and Wolf Army is evident in the battle today."

"What kind of tiger and wolf army!" The Southern Barbarian King glared unhappily: "Why, you are all afraid of being beaten!?"

"This is not what the last general means, but seeing that the Qin army is indeed not weak in combat, and the soldiers fighting at the top and bottom are like not having life. If we continue, we may find it difficult for us to defend Jiaoyang." The general said carefully.

Someone else received: "Wang, we only have 100,000 warriors. Even if we keep here and fight hard with the Qin army, in the end, it will be harmful and useless. It is impossible to enter the Central Plains again."

"Now the Qin army's troops in Chu are all in the Jiaoyang area. Chu has a chance to breathe, so this is obviously taking advantage of us."

"But we also occupied Jiaoyang, right?"

Everyone was talking.

Hearing this, the King of Southern Barbarians couldn't help but say angrily: "This King of Qin is simply outrageous! If you don't go to destroy Chu, you will come to attack us!"

After saying that, he looked around for another week: "What do you think now?"

Civil servant Wu Tu said: "The Qin army will not be willing to make peace with us, and will definitely continue to launch an offensive against Jiaoyang. The subordinates suggest that Jiaoyang's wealth and beauty should be taken back to the country first, and then notify the King of Chu to attack the Qin army from behind and attack us from behind."

"Didn't Chu ask us to help repel the Qin army? It's time for them to do their best now. If the King of Chu refuses, then we can't defend Jiaoyang and retreat. Anyway, we have already transported back a large amount of wealth and materials in advance."

"Yeah..." After hearing Wu Tu's words, the Southern Barbarian King couldn't help but nodded slowly and said immediately: "Just do what Wu Tu said, immediately take back all the gold, silver and wealth and the captured women, and then send a message to the King of Chu."

The Southern Barbarians believed that the Qin army's offensive was too fierce and had already begun to retreat. Under the order of the Barbarian King, some troops were distributed early the next morning, and they began to escort a cart of property and a large number of female prisoners from the Central Plains to retreat south first.

This action lasted for several days and almost emptied the entire Jiaoyang County.

Of course, the siege ahead has never stopped.

After a few days of strong attacks, the Qin army also adopted tactical changes accordingly.

In the central army's tent, a partial general said: "Although the barbarian army is numerous, the enemy's strength is exhausted. The last general suggested that there is no need to change the tactics and still adopt the current strong attack strategy and strive to recover Jiaoyang within ten days."

Although the barbarian army's aura was severely defeated and beaten a little scared, after all, there were 100,000 people, and it was not a short-term profit to resist the city's defense.

Yan Qi said: "It is a good thing for General Zhang to have this confidence, but in the Jiaoyang war, according to the current information of our army, the Barbarian King has begun to emptie Jiaoyang's property. What's even more hateful is that he has arrested many women from the Central Plains as slaves and is taking them back to the country."

Hearing this, all the generals looked angry, and the army's adviser Tian Su said, "Ship Yan means that he plans to attack from a small path, intercept Nanping Pass, and seal the way for the barbarian king to retreat south?"

"Does sir think it's feasible?" Yan Qi asked first, and then said: "From the actions of the Barbarian King, it can be judged that the enemy is already preparing for the retreat."

"Well, what Yan Shuai said is very true, and I think it is feasible." Tian Shu nodded and said, "But to go around Nanping Pass, you need to cross mountains and ridges. It is difficult to march and you cannot carry the baggage at all. Even if the soldiers can endure hardship, they can only win food for several days. Intercepting the matter. When Jiaoyang City is broken and the barbarians retreat, our army will advance together, chasing them one after another, and breaking the Nanping Pass."

"That's exactly what it means." Yan Qi said: "At that time, the Southern Barbarian army can be restrained between Jiaoyang and Nanping Pass and then wiped out. The Barbarian King must not be allowed to return to the country. Otherwise, it will be the dereliction of duty of this commander and everyone will be dereliction of duty."

"I understand!" The generals all cheered up.

The Barbarian King was making a retreat plan, while the Qin army was making a sweep plan.

A few days later, the Southern Barbarians asked the Chu State to send troops, and letters of the Qin army in Jiaoyang were also sent to the King of Chu. At this time, the latter did not want to cooperate with the barbarian army, but was powerless.

I thought that if the barbarian army restrained the Qin army, they would be able to be at ease, but the recruitment situation in various places directly turned into riots.

The people all knew that the Qin army was repelling foreign enemies, but the King of Chu wanted to open the road to the Central Plains for foreign invaders. Under such circumstances, the local governments had never stopped smashing the government. Fortunately, Chen Ba's 30,000 border troops returned to the capital, otherwise, it would probably have affected the Chu Palace.

Not only did the King of Chu not get any breath, but instead caused chaos in the entire Chu area, the regime was not solid, and the society was in turmoil. Ministers also continued to come out in the Chaoyi Hall to report the situation in various places.

"Reported to the King and the Crown County Magistrate of Chenyang, thousands of mobs gathered as bandits, openly confronted the government and asked the court to send troops to suppress..."

But at this moment, there were no soldiers in Chu to take care of the turmoil in these places.

As soon as the minister finished speaking, before the King of Chu could say anything, someone else stood up.

"Your Majesty, in Lingling, many county governments were smashed, and mobs demonstrated in the street..."

"Your Majesty, in the Tanyang area, refugees are everywhere, and there are many horse bandits occupying the mountains and becoming kings..."

The one report after another made the King of Chu stunned for a long time. He didn't expect that things would become more and more uncontrollable.
