Daqin Engineers

In this battle, the Chu army lost more than 30,000 people, more than one third of the Chu army's participation.

There will be such heavy casualties, mainly because Xiang Liang underestimated the enemy's misjudgment of the enemy's form, thinking that the Chu army had an overwhelming advantage over the Qin army in this battle.

So when the momentum was found to be wrong, he still commanded the Chu army to attack instead of retreating or turning offense to defense.

But this is actually normal.

Who knows that like the Liang Jun who has no armor and is surrounded by soldiers from the Wei State, it can be beaten like this?

Xiang Liang couldn't think of it, neither did Xiang Yan.

When Xiang Yan received the information from Xiang Liang, he knew that the Chu army had lost another 30,000, and almost died without vomiting blood... At this time it was the time when the Chu army was using soldiers. The entire army he could call was only 300,000. Xiang Liang lost 30,000 yuan on his own proposition.

At the same time, Xiang Yan was also secretly surprised.

He knew this Liang's ability, and the Chu army's combat power was not so unbearable. How could 90,000 well-equipped armored soldiers attack 70,000 unarmored soldiers and lose more than 30,000 people?

Where is this Shen Bing sacred and capable of this?

However, Xiang Yan had no doubt about this.

If it were before that, Xiang Yan was afraid to say nothing, but think about the battle with the city's navy...Shen Bing only led three thousand black armies, so he would not dare to fight with ten thousand navy.

At this time, isn't Xiang Liang's battle just a copy of the battle of Qiancheng Water?

Xiang Yan got a headache this time:

The 300,000 army left only 270,000, which was comparable to Qin's 270,000.

The Chu army had to defend the front line from Ruyin to Chengfu at 270,000, and it would take even more troops.

Although the nobles may send troops to help by then... this is also Xiang Yan's plan, because if Ruyin can't hold Shouchun, it will be over, and after Shouchun, the fiefs of the nobles will be the next.

When the nobles have a sense of urgency, they will naturally send food and soldiers to Ruyin, no matter how much they want, otherwise, how can they live in front of the king of Chu and other nobles?

The problem is that it takes time to force the nobles to send troops.

If Ruyin only stayed for three or five days and then collapsed, the nobleman would not have time to dispatch troops.

At this time, the military strength is slightly insufficient...How should this be good?

After thinking about it, Xiang Yan gave an order to Xiang Bo:

"Go to Jiangdong immediately and persuade the patriarch to bring Jiangdong's soldiers and naval forces!"

Bo Xiang was stunned and said:

"father……"

Xiang Yan interrupted uncle Xiang:

"Go!"

When Bo Xiang responded, he took a few guards with him.

It's no wonder that Xiang Bo would hesitate. Those Jiangdong soldiers and naval forces are the roots of Jiangdong Xiang's family.

To put it ugly, the current situation is that even if Chu State is destroyed, Jiangdong will not necessarily be destroyed.

Because Jiangdong has eight thousand soldiers and elite naval forces that are world-renowned.

As said before, the Xiang clan has been actively preparing for war since being exiled to Jiangdong, because they believe that only in this way can the Xiang clan be safe.

In fact, most of the other nobles and even all the nobles of the Warring States Period were like this, that is, they worked hard to train private soldiers.

This is actually very easy to understand. Private soldiers are their own confidantes and soldiers who have full control over them. This is not the case for the garrison in a country or city.

Therefore, the training, equipment, and food of private soldiers are generally higher than those of the military, and their combat power is naturally higher.

It’s just that the Xiang clan is more special. The eight thousand soldiers are all from the Xiang clan, and they have also been tested in actual combat... Before the Zhuanghua chaos was put down, Xiang Yan took these soldiers to hunt down Zhuangzhu in the dense forest. It took a few years before he finally put down the rebellion and sent Zhuang Yu's head to the king of Chu.

So these eight thousand soldiers were also famous for a while like Xiang Yan.

As long as Chu State talked about being elite, what he said was "that Jiangdong eight thousand children".

Not to mention the Xiang clan's navy. The Xiang clan lives by fishing in Jiangdong, and they are familiar with water warfare.

Therefore, these eight thousand soldiers and the Xiang clan's navy are the life-saving soldiers of the Xiang clan.

If the Kingdom of Chu is destroyed, Xiang Yan only needs to return to Jiangdong with a few sons, and with these soldiers who are good at water wars and forest wars, the Xiang clan will not be lost.

However, Xiang Yan transferred these soldiers to guard Ruyin at this time...that is, to give all of them to cut off their retreat.

But as the saying goes, ginger is old and spicy, Xiang Yan didn't think so.

First of all, Xiang Yan considers one point: If this Shen soldier is so powerful and the trained black armored navy is invincible in the world, how can his Xiang navy be his opponent?

If the Xiang's navy is not an opponent, how can Jiangdong stay safe?

Does his Xiang clan really want to hide in the jungle and join Baiyue?

We must know that Baiyue has been suppressed by the Xiang clan for a long time and has long been resentful. If the Xiang clan is in trouble, they don't fall into the limelight. How can they help?

Thinking about it this way, Xiang Yan understood:

If the Chu Kingdom died, the Xiang clan would also die.

Even so, what use is it to keep the private soldiers of the Xiang clan?

Another point is that Xiang Yan knew that the eyes of the nobles in Chu Kingdom were staring at him.

If the Xiang clan is unwilling to contribute private soldiers, how can those nobles be willing?

So he thought about it, and he had to call in Jiangdong's soldiers no matter what.

Xiang Yan's approach is correct.

After he did this in history, the aristocracy of Chu was united and willing to send troops and provide food.

As a result, after Chu defeated Li Xin, Xiang Yan also established his position in Chu and no one can shake.

But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long before he was defeated by Wang Jian and killed himself.

Shen Bing didn't know these things.

He only knew that Liangjun's morale was unprecedentedly high because of this big victory.

In fact, the soldiers of the Liang Army had doubts about their own combat power and even the formation of Shen Bing.

After all, no one has used it before, and there are many uncertainties about things that no one has used.

After this battle, everyone knew their own strength and also knew that this formation was useful, and confidence and morale came from this.

In contrast, the Qin army led by Mengwu on the other side was eclipsed.

Because they were preparing for battle last night but only heard the sound but did not see them, it was obviously a bluff of the Chu army.

Even though the Chu army harassed them along the way and fought a few small battles, the total number of the Chu army was no more than a thousand people.

But the Liang army killed 30,000 enemies in just one night...

Originally, Qin Jun still looked down on these soldiers from the State of Wei, and didn't want to turn over this night.

Shen Bing is not concerned about this, they can think whatever they like, or they can compete in secret, it is not human power.

Shen Bing is concerned about a young general who has newly joined the Liang Army.

Originally, Shen Bing didn't take it seriously. After all, the Liang Army became famous, and it was normal for Qin Army generals to join.

But Shen Bing took a look at the roster... It was very obedient, Wang Ben!

It's actually Wang Ben?

Could it be that Wang Ben?

Or just the same name?

Otherwise, why wouldn't Wang Jian's son stay with Wang Jian but join the Liang Army and Shen Bing with him?!
