Daqin Engineers

It is reasonable for Yang Duanhe to allocate his forces in this way.

A total of 270,000 people were used by the Qin army to attack Chu.

One hundred thousand are the Qin army led by Yang Duanhe, the other hundred thousand are the Qin army led by Meng Wu, and the remaining 70,000 are the Liang army led by Shen Bing.

The three armies are undoubtedly the weakest of the Liang army led by Shen Bing, even if the Liang army is full of confusion and mandarin duck formation.

In particular, Wolves is more suitable for field battles, when it comes to siege...The bamboo with this bamboo but still with branches and leaves is afraid that it will not even be able to climb the siege ladder.

In addition, the beam army has no armor, and the defense is reduced by one point.

So there is no need to think about it, the main force led by Mengwu Siege Father and Yang Duanhe will attack Ruyin.

Shen Bing's beam army was naturally used in the second line.

However, no one knew that Shen Bing actually had another plan in his mind.

In this set of plans, the beam army and the black armour are the protagonists.

On Xiang Yan's side, he finally hurried Caozhou soldiers back to the defense line before the Mengwu army rushed to the father of the city.

On the other side, eight thousand soldiers from Jiangdong and ten thousand naval forces arrived at the right time, and Xiang Yan immediately set about arranging a line of defense on the Rushui line.

Ruyin is in the southern city and the father is in the north. The two cities are more than two hundred miles apart, and a natural barrier is formed west of Shouchun by Rushui to block the Qin army.

As soon as Xiang Yan arrived at Chengfu, he immediately reformed the navy.

He said to the leader Xiang Bo:

"All warships are equipped with rods and hurry up to train. You must learn to use them within a few days."

"In addition, crossbowmen and catapults were added on the east bank of Rushui, the counterweight catapult used by the Qin army!"

When Uncle Xiang responded, he eagerly led people to make arrangements.

Xiang Yan's arrangement is no problem.

The loopholes in this line of defense are neither Ruyin nor City Father.

Because the two cities of Ruyin and Chengfu have been as solid as a rock and solid after decades of operation in the Chu state, not to mention the strength of the Chu army is still higher than that of the Qin army, and there is more room for operation.

As mentioned before, the Qin army must have insufficient strength to occupy the city all the way.

Xiang Yan even prepared a cavalry army of tens of thousands of people ready to raid the Qin army's supply line at any time.

Under this circumstance, if the Qin army attacked Ruyin or Chengfu to death, there must be only one outcome...

The two cities of Ruyin and Chengfu are different from other cities. Both cities use Rushui as the moat. If the Qin army wants to attack the city, they have to cross Rushui.

This is not only difficult to deploy troops, but also extremely easy for the Chu army to counterattack.

Xiang Yan also considered whether the Qin Army would flood the two cities like a flooded beam.

But this is almost impossible, because the upper reaches of Ru River is in the hands of Chu Army, and Qin Army cannot build dikes to store water.

On the other hand, the Chu Army, the two cities could reinforce each other along the waterway as a cover.

Therefore, the only thing that the Chu army needs to worry about is that the Qin army broke through Rushui with the invincible navy, that is, the black armour of the Shen Bing, and broke the connection between the two cities and then broke each one.

This is also the reason why Xiang Yan transferred ten thousand naval forces to Jiangdong.

This ten thousand navy army is not comparable to the 10,000 navy forces of Chu, and its warship is also equipped with a pole, and there are a large number of trebuchets and crossbowmen on the shore to cover, forgive the black armored navy is useless Ground.

The things Xiang Yan considered were really the same.

The black-clad navy is more suitable for fighting in the water battle, that is, two navy battles.

Even if the Jiangdong Navy goes into battle, it may not be good, because the Black Armored Army has wheeled warships.

The advantage of the wheel warship is its speed, and the speed on the battlefield may often determine the outcome.

Because in terms of relative motion, if one is fast and the other is slow, it can almost be considered that after the difference between the two speeds, the slower is still.

Therefore, the speed is slow and only passively beaten. At that time, the wheel warship can flexibly go around to the dead corner of the Chu army warship and then approach the attack.

The problem is that the Chu army also deployed trebuchets and crossbowmen on the shore... As soon as the wheeled warship enters its range, it will be hit from multiple directions.

This is not so much a water battle as it is a beach landing battle.

Therefore, even the sunken black armour and wheeled warships can't please.

Fortunately, Shen Bing never planned to do this from the beginning.

At this time, Xiang Liang had stationed his troops in Rushui, and then ordered Qingqi to report the battle to Shouchun.

This is Xiang Yan's order.

It is said that the general before the battle must not leave the station, but Xiang Yan has to do it.

At this time, the opinions of Chu State were not unified, and the nobles still refused to send troops in their own battle.

Xiang Yan sent Xiang Liang to Shouchun just to persuade a group of nobles and give them a sense of crisis.

Xiang Yan's move was thoughtful, because Xiang Liang had fought a defeat, and even had an arrow wound on his right arm... This road was wounded and bloody and went to the hall, and it was there immediately The urgency of war.

Xiang Liang reported to King Chu Chu among the neatly dressed ministers:

"My lord, the general will report back: because the Huainan armies have not yet arrived, they can't return to the meeting."

"Dare to ask the king to immediately send a powerful minister to send grain and grass to Ruyin and Chengfu."

"And make great efforts to plan the army weapon arrows!"

Chu Wang Jian asked nervously:

"It is reported...Our army loses the first battle?"

Xiang Liang did not evade, and replied openly:

"Exactly, the general will attack the Qin army by leading troops at night."

"I don't want the Qin army to block my offensive with a formation of bamboo, and our army has lost more than 30,000 people."

This immediately caused a commotion in the hall, and the nobles turned pale.

They knew this Liang's ability. All of the Xiang family's children were good at using soldiers, and among them, Xiang Liang was the most.

However, Xiang Liang led a sneak attack on the Qin Army, and it actually made the Qin Army defeated and returned...How powerful is this Qin Army?

Xiang Liang didn't elaborate on the reason, let alone excuse.

In fact, this is what Xiang Yan confessed, just to scare them.

The original mind of the nobles was still: Maybe Xiang Yan could stop the Qin army with the 300,000 soldiers of the king of Chu, then these nobles would be able to enjoy their success without spending a single soldier.

This can both retreat from Qin and weaken the power of the king. Why not do it?

But when I heard that Xiang Liang had consumed 30,000 in just one battle, wouldn't that 300,000 troops be finished in a few days?

Then, didn't he surround Shouchun and then hit his own fief?

Is this ok?

I can't think of sending troops!

So the nobles exchanged glances, and Zhao Xie took the lead and asked:

"I wonder if the general has any strategy against Qin?"

Xiang Liang replied:

"The war is still being planned, and it must be determined based on the movements of the Qin army..."

Zhao Xie was surprised again:

"The strong enemy has already approached the country, but the battlefield strategy is still planning?"

Xiang Liang replied coldly:

"Our army has insufficient food for the arrows, how can we plan in advance?"

The ministers were all speechless at this question.
