Daqin Engineers

Chapter 155 Water Army

Xiang Yan's army withdrew, and those Chu army besieged by the flood on the high ground could only be captured.

It is not difficult to capture these Chu army. Qin army only needs to drive a raft around the high ground, and then light up the bronze sword in his hand.

In fact, it is very easy for the Chu army to resist this situation, and it can even be said to win stably. After all, they are the one on the ground and they have much more troops.

The question is whether resistance still makes sense:

Although the high ground is temporarily safe, there is not enough food, and there is only a dead end to continue.

If there is no reinforcements, the only way to survive is to surrender, and resistance has turned into a grave.

Of course Chu Jun was not willing to choose this path.

There were even Chu Jun who was too cold and hungry to stand expecting Qin Jun to "capture" them.

Therefore, Qin Jun is not so much fighting as it is to save people.

After going to the Qin army once and twice, I got used to it. When I went to "combat", I pulled a few more rafts and shouted at the Chu army:

"Come if you want to drop, stay where you don't drop!"

This method is not bad, it doesn't need to expend troops to wipe out. Every one of the Chu army dismantled their equipment and left their weapons to follow the instructions of the Qin army, and even a few Qin army captured hundreds of Chu army.

There was a lot of joy in Daliang City, and every time the soldiers brought back a group of prisoners, they always cheered in the army.

As for the soldiers and civilians of the Wei State... they also have no choice.

Among them, Wei Wei contributed a lot, and he has been demonstrating his interests to the military and civilians of Wei during this period of time.

The soldiers and civilians think about the fact that they were not as good as dogs under Wei Wangjia before. Now what is wrong with being able to become the number one power in the Central Plains under the Qin State system?

So he accepted it halfway through.

On the Handan side, Ying Zheng is called high-spirited and energetic.

At this time, although he did not dare to easily reveal his identity because of Zhao Di's danger, his thinking had already floated out of the blueprint for a beautiful blueprint.

This battle can be said to have opened up a good situation for the Qin State. It not only solved various crises but also defeated the Chu State.

Ying Zheng summarized the following benefits:

One: The defeat of hundreds of thousands of the Chu army caused heavy casualties. After the Chu army was seriously injured, it would be unable to send troops for a long time in the future, so Qin got a rare breathing opportunity.

Second: stabilize the Qin army's rule in this area.

This aspect is mainly in psychological shock:

If the Qin army was defeated in this battle, then Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries would rise up in turmoil. As the so-called wall fell, everyone pushed it, and they pushed it quite vigorously and made concerted efforts, so the wall would be pushed down more easily.

However, if the people knew that the wall could not be pushed, it would be another matter.

In this battle, the Qin Army won, just to tell the people that Qin State hadn't collapsed before the wall, so no one wanted to be a "first bird."

Third: The inclusion of Wei State in the territory of Qin State connects the three counties of Zhao State in the north and South Korea in the south and straightens the border.

This not only made Qin easier to defend but also easier to attack.

Easier defense is not only geographically, but also because the straightening of the border line at least saves the 50,000 Qin troops originally arranged on the curved border of Wei.

At this time, the Qin army was in short supply, especially the three counties of Handan became a major weakness.

The 50,000 Qin soldiers that had been saved were transferred to Handan... The big rock hanging in Ying Zheng's heart was also put down.

Needless to say, it is easier to attack. Wei is located in the center of the six countries and has a well-developed water conservancy irrigation system. From now on, it will undoubtedly attack the food supply bases of Chu and Qi.

At this time, Han, Zhao, and Wei of the six countries had been destroyed one after another, and Yan and Dai were beaten half-crippled, leaving only Chu and Qi.

Which country is important if Wei is not important?!

Therefore, this battle can be said to be a stroke of genius, and all the disadvantages of Qin State due to lack of troops and lack of preparation have been wiped out, leaving a good situation.

This made Yingzheng Long's heart happy, and he began to realize the dream of unifying the Central Plains that the predecessors dreamed of but failed to achieve.

At this time, the guards came to report:

"My lord, Prime Minister Li Si please see me."

Ying Zheng said without thinking:

"see!"

During this period of time, Qin State had laid too many territories too quickly, and Ying Zheng needed one person to manage it.

As for the internal affairs master, it is naturally Li Si, so Ying Zheng transferred him from Xianyang.

Li Si bowed to Yingzheng after gaining the account:

"Congratulations to the king for another country."

"Now that the State of Wei is gone, our army only needs to recuperate for a period of time before sending troops to the State of Chu to retaliate."

Li Si didn't say that Qi was for a reason.

At this time, Qin's strategy was to stabilize Qi, that is, to maintain friendly relations with Qi. Therefore, the whole country did not talk about cutting Qi, so as not to be heard by Qi's spies.

On the other hand, Qi is really nothing compared to Chu, let alone.

Of course Ying Zheng knew what Li Si meant, and he nodded slightly and said:

"The prime minister said it well, the state of Wei and Chu are no longer a problem."

"From now on, who else can stop my Da Qin Bingfeng?"

"Unification of the Central Plains is just around the corner..."

However, Li Si poured cold water on Yingzheng, and he bowed to Yingzheng with Shiran:

"My lord, the Weichen thought...it's too early to say'just around the corner' at this time."

Ying Zheng Qi Road:

"Why did the prime minister say this?"

"The state of Chu has been greatly injured by this battle, and the domestic political instability is not a concern."

"And Yan, Dai and other countries are just a group of Xiaoxiao..."

Li Si replied:

"Weichen's worries are precisely that Chu country."

Ying Zheng said "Oh":

"The prime minister thinks Chu is still capable of resisting my Da Qin Bingfeng?"

Li Si said:

"My lord, although the Great Liang's battle ended with our army's great victory, it was a bit of luck."

"Especially, it also exposed one weakness of our army: not good at water warfare."

"The Chu State has a dense network of lakes from Qinhuai below."

"At that time, Chu will use the benefits of the navy and the infantry to assist in the defense. How does the king think our army should win?"

This question puzzled Ying Zheng.

Li Si's analysis is very reasonable. When the Qin army attacked Wei, the water network and Chu's navy suffered a great loss.

If this is to attack Chu State... then the water net is better than Wei State.

In addition, there are many small ditches and canals in the Wei State water network, and the tributaries and lakes of the Huai River and Yangtze River in Chu State are naturally formed, and the hydrology is more complex and the navigation ability is better.

This means that it is more conducive to Chu's naval operations, and it is impossible for the Qin army to attack Chu with water again!

Thinking about it, Ying Zheng frowned and asked:

"So, can the prime minister have a solution?"

Li Si replied:

"For today's plan, Weichen thought it was only early to make preparations."

"I should take the morning to train a navy."

"When you go south to attack Chu, you won't be at a loss!"
