Chapter 340 Lu Zhi's death
The vast Shennongjia.
Two thousand years later, it is still intimidating and dare not go deeper without authorization. In the pre-Qin period, this was a forbidden zone for humans and a paradise for wild beasts.
The temporary rest of the Eighteen Dragon Pond did not change Lu Zhi's destination. On the contrary, without Liu Ying's ties, this woman with a heart of iron led the team into the journey of death without hesitation.
Zhang Ping, who had been chasing all the way, saw the last thing he saw was the skeletons of the ground and the killed horses. After all the thin and only shelters were exhausted, his body could not escape the tragic end of being cut into pieces. At the bottom of one of the ponds, the Qin army also found the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers who were massacred.
These injured soldiers were obviously abandoned. In order to prevent the injured soldiers from reporting, Lu Zhi, Guo Ting and others tricked them to the edge of the deep pool before leaving, and finally indulged in the bottom of the pool.
Since then, Lu Zhi and his group have never appeared in other places. What is their final outcome? Until more than 700 years later, another group of escapees who broke into the deep jungle and mountains found hundreds of human corpses with messy skeletons under a cliff under a cliff.
These corpses were tragic in death, and only the gender could be identified.
However, judging from the swords inserted in the corpse, they had a fight before they died, and some of the corpses even hugged each other.
Based on this analysis, these corpses fought each other for food or other reasons, but the final result was to die together.
For her own selfishness, Lu Zhi threatened Lu Shizhi, Guo Ting, Zhang Ping and others to be buried in the jungle together. Her entire dream also stopped at this moment.
At this point, all the remnants of the Han Dynasty in the past finally disappeared under the attack of the Qin army.
——.
While the riots in Hanzhong were quelling, the Battle of Yingdu was entering a white-hot stage.
The Dongchu Navy led by Zhou Cheng surrounded Yingdu under the leadership of the bandit Xi Juan and others. The generals of the Dongchu were constantly attacking from the Water Gate with their excellent water nature.
The moat surrounding the city was once dug to block the enemy's attack, but now they have become a passage for the soldiers and thieves of the Eastern Chu army to use it to approach the city wall and the city gate.
Water net area guarding.
The opponent is a well-proficient water thief. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to defend the city.
The Dongchu army, who came from afar, was short of food and fodder supplies, frantically invested nearly two-thirds of its troops to attack the city walls. Both sides lost nearly a thousand lives just to compete for the Water Gate.
In order to block the enemy's pounce, Feng Xuan led his personal guards to the battle. His repeated rushes moved the soldiers and civilians in the city and went to the city to help with the battle. In fact, the thieves and the cruel people of Yingdu also understood that they had always been waiting and indifferent, but because of their inherent vigilance towards the Qin people.
February 24th.
The Ba army, who had been waiting for a long time, finally appeared, rushed to the Yingdu battlefield. This Ba army came from the Jiangzhou area and went through thousands of difficulties along the way. Their appearance made the victory of the Battle of Yingdu begin to tilt towards the Qin army.
Twenty-five, morning.
The Ba army fought fiercely with Xi Juan, a unit of Yunmeng Zejiang Kou, outside Yingdu. Luo Xian's performance in this battle was impressive. When he met Xi Juan, an enemy general who was also not very outstanding, Luo Xian burst out all his potential, and Xi Juan was shot and killed with an arrow. The remaining troops also scattered.
Twenty-seventh day, dusk.
Li Yuan's personal guards took the warship of the Qin Navy of the Nanjun Qin Army and went down the Han River. They met with Chen Xi, the Qin general who was reinforced from Sanchuan County in Deng County. The two armies advanced side by side. The great momentum of the Qin army shocked the Dongchu army, which was in a dilemma under the city of Yingdu.
Zhou Feng is not determined to fight.
This time, he found out that Li Yuan personally led the army to fight, and the only courage finally disappeared. Facing Feng Xuan, he was helpless. Facing Li Yuan, who was not even afraid of the overlord Xiang Yu, Zhou Cheng did not even have the courage to fight, and quickly ordered the soldiers to board the ship and retreat.
However, it is still too late for them to retreat now.
The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
The Jiang Pirates in Yunmeng Daze are not just Xi Juan. The Deng Tuo troops, the largest and most powerful, have always been on the sideliness in the previous battles.
Now, after seeing the Qin army gaining the upper hand, Deng Tuo made efforts.
Yunmeng Zezhong.
The Eastern Chu army fleet returned east with soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and were exhausted. When their fleet passed by Panlong City, it was attacked by Deng Tuo's troops.
Zhou Cheng, who was completely unaware of the situation, never expected that he would be ambushed in the Great Ze. You should know that although Deng Tuo did not express his support for Dong Chu in the previous contact, he did not show much hostility.
The southeastern wind in early spring blows strongly.
After seizing the upper air outlet and rushing for the fast ships, Deng Tuo's army lit torches at the bow. Under the thick smoke, the Deng army thieves rushed into the slow Eastern Chu army fleet.
Fire helps wind.
The sails burned by the fire burned to ashes in the flames. Without the support of the wind, the ships loaded with soldiers in the Eastern Chu army began to rush around in place like a heavy old cow.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng was very anxious and urgently ordered several burning warships to break the back. The key to water war was speed. Once the Dongchu army fleet stagnated, the Qin navy, who was chasing far behind, would pounce on him like a vicious wolf. At that time, the Dongchu army soldiers who were at a disadvantage in speed would have all their skills and could not solve the fast-moving opponent.
The Eastern Chu army cut off its tail and survived.
More than twenty warships, plus nearly 1,500 soldiers on the ship, watched their companions leave. In despair, these abandoned Jiangdong children kept cursing Zhou Cheng's ancestors and the female ancestors in their families. The familiar voices vaguely reached Zhou Cheng's ears, making the face of the defeated Dongchu army general even more ugly.
When he learned of the defeat of the Eastern Chu army, Mei Juan's army, who was still on the north road to Changsha, immediately turned around and retreated towards the Lingnan area. Compared to revenge, it was obviously more important to defend his nest.
The siege of Nanjun was lifted.
After this joint battle between the Qin army generals guarding Yingdu and the people of Chu, the gap between them was finally broken. From the smiles, we can see that the people of Nanjun began to have a sense of identity with the Qin army.
When Li Yuan led the team into Yingdu, the crowds of people who were welcomed by the streets burst into cheers. At this moment, Li Yuan and other Qin people from Guanzhong were not enemies, but friends who really helped them guard their homes.
