Chapter 273: Conferred the title of national commander! Conquer the capital of Chu!
Hear the roar of King Chu.
The kneeling messenger in the main hall said in a panic: "Reporting to your Majesty, General Qu Zhang despised the Qin army and did not use his troops to defend Qu City. Instead, he went out to fight the Qin army. He was defeated by Zhao Feng, Lord Wu'an of Qin. He lost 300,000 men. The army was destroyed."
As soon as these words fell.
There was like a thunder in the court hall of Chu State.
"What did you say?"
"Instead of gathering troops to defend, instead of going out of the city to fight the Qin army head-on?"
King Chu opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
"That's right." The dispatcher said with a trembling voice.
The King of Chu also looked at Qu, because Qu Zhang was his son.
Faced with everyone's gaze.
He lowered his head and did not dare to deal with it.
Giving up the advantage of defending the city to face the Qin army head-on, and it was Qin Wu'an camp. He really didn't dare to admit such a stupid thing.
The court hall was also silent at this moment.
The Qu family was so powerful that even though they suffered such a huge defeat because of Qu Zhang, no one dared to speak up and implicate them, and Qu Zhang had already died in the battle.
"Qucheng was lost, and the Qin army was less than two hundred miles away from our capital."
"Gentlemen, what should we do?"
"Where can we send more soldiers?"
King Chu asked as he looked at the court anxiously.
"Your Majesty."
"The 300,000 troops are already all the troops mobilized, and there are even nearly 100,000 new soldiers mixed in."
"Now, in addition to the 50,000 imperial guards in the capital, there are tens of thousands of capital troops. There are no more troops to send."
Zhaowen said with a troubled expression.
"Then what should we do?"
"Can we just watch Qin attack without success?" King Chu asked in a roaring voice.
"Your Majesty."
"For the current plan, we can only ask General Xiang Yan to come back for reinforcements."
A minister spoke up.
"Please ask Xiang Yan to come back for help?"
"What should the Qin army to the west do?" King Chu said angrily.
"Your Majesty."
"That's it."
"There is no other way but to ask Xiang Yan to come back for help."
"When the army comes back for reinforcements, use the army to defend the capital and engage in a war of attrition with the Qin army."
"As long as we persist, I, Da Chu, will definitely be able to repel the Qin army." Zhao Wen also said immediately.
"But if the Qin armies from both sides join forces, Chu will face a greater crisis, right?" Even though the King of Chu was not a wise king, he still knew the dangers of having the Qin armies from both sides join forces.
"Your Majesty."
"If we don't mobilize Xiang Yan to come back, what else can we do to fight the enemy?" Zhaowen said coldly.
All the ministers in the court also looked at King Chu expectantly.
He looks like a king, but he is actually being persecuted.
"According to your advice."
Under such coercion, King Chu could only nod.
Because no one of the civil and military officials in the dynasty could relieve his worries.
——
Chu Fangcheng!
"General."
"Your Majesty has an urgent edict."
"The Qin army annihilated the 300,000-strong army of Chu in Qucheng. Now the capital has no barrier and only 100,000 troops are guarding it. If the Qin army attacks the capital, our Chu will be destroyed."
"Please also ask the general to return quickly for reinforcements."
A soldier who came from Chudu reported to Xiang Yan.
"With an army of three hundred thousand, Qucheng was annihilated by the Qin army?"
"Why is this happening?" Xiang Yan frowned, obviously confused.
"General Qu Zhang did not defend the city, but led his army to confront the Qin army head-on."
"It failed miserably in the end." The messenger reported in a helpless tone.
"Fight head-on with the Qin army?"
Xiang Yan frowned, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes: "You bastard, you are a useless person."
"You really want to kill me."
Although Xiang Yan is somewhat ambitious, as a general of the Chu State, he naturally does not want the Chu State to perish, and he also cares about his family and his country.
"General."
"Now the king is issuing an urgent order, ordering the general to return to the capital immediately for rescue." The urgent reporting soldier immediately said.
"The general knows."
"You should go back and recover first. I will find a way to return reinforcements." Xiang Yan said in a deep voice.
"No." The emergency soldier bowed and quickly retreated.
After he left.
The surrounding generals looked at Xiang Yan with unhappiness.
"General."
"Are you really going to come back for help?"
"Once the reinforcements come back, the Qin army in front will definitely lead the army straight in. If the Hangu Qin army and Qin Wu'an are allowed to join together, our Da Chu will be even less of an opponent." The deputy general said solemnly.
"Of course I understand this matter." Xiang Yan said solemnly.
He was also extremely confused at this moment.
If you don’t return the favor.
Then he is disobeying the imperial edict, which is a serious crime.
Even if the Chu Kingdom dies, Xiang Yan will become a disobedient person.
Bear the infamy.
As for surrendering to Qin?
Xiang Yan naturally never thought that he would protect the Chu Kingdom from destruction.
"General Xiang Yan."
"Mr. Changping, please see me."
At this time!
A voice sounded in Xiang Yan's ear.
Follow the sound.
I saw Mi Qi walking over quickly, with an eager look on his face.
After seeing Mi Qi, Xiang Yan's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
"Maybe there are other options."
Xiang Yan stared at Mi Qi, already making a decision in her heart.
And in Hangu Camp.
"General."
"I just received a tip."
"Wu Anjun annihilated 300,000 people from Chu State in Qucheng of Chu State in one fell swoop and made countless gains."
"Now Lord Wu An must have gone straight to Chudu." Li Xin said with excitement.
Hear the news.
Huan Yi didn't show any surprise.
"You are worthy of being called Wu'an Jun."
"The undisputed god of war of our Great Qin."
"In just over four months, most of the Chu army was annihilated by Wu'an Jun."
"Within three months, the Chu will perish." Huan Yi laughed.
"Then General, should our army attack Chufangcheng?" Li Xin's eyes were eager to try.
In the past few months.
The cities adjacent to Chufangcheng have been breached by the Hangu Camp, but only Chufangcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Huan Yi did not order an attack, but stalemate with the Chu army here, clearly wanting to delay Xiang Yan.
"At this point, we are even less anxious."
"It is Xiang Yan who is anxious." Huan Yi sneered.
"What the general means is."
"The Chu army in Qucheng has been annihilated, and Wu'an Jun's next step is to attack the capital of Chu. Will the King of Chu transfer Xiang Yan back to his capital?" Li Xin said.
"It will be so in nine out of ten times." Huan Yi smiled.
"In this case, our army can just wait for Xiang Yan to withdraw."
"Hold Xiang Yan tightly at once."
"Xiang Yan will definitely be defeated." Li Xin said with a smile.
"The news should be reaching Xianyang soon."
"After the destruction of Chu, Wu'an Jun should be promoted again."
"The national lieutenant of Daqin is also the youngest national lieutenant from ancient times to the present."
"It's hard to imagine."
Huan Yi said with a look of reverence.
He may have had some comparisons with Zhao Feng in the past, thinking that he could be stronger than Zhao Feng if he was given a chance, but when he really got to the battlefield, Zhao Feng's outstanding performance left him far behind.
Daqin, the court hall!
"Report to the king."
"Just received the battle report from Wu'an Camp."
"Wu'an Jun led his Wu'an Camp elite soldiers to defeat 300,000 Chu troops in Qucheng."
"Hundreds of thousands of enemies were killed and more than 150,000 were captured."
"Great victory."
"Now Wu'an Jun has led his army to attack the capital of Chu. Perhaps in the near future, the king will receive the good news that Wu'an Jun has conquered the capital of Chu and destroyed the Chu State." Wei Liao reported excitedly.
Even as a report on the results of the battle, he was excited at this moment, and his voice was extremely excited.
As long as the Chu State is destroyed.
The unification of the world is not a vain thing, it will soon be unified, and Shenzhou will be unified.
His wish to go down the mountain will eventually be achieved.
He has fulfilled the great wish that all the disciples of Guiguzi have never fulfilled.
On a high position.
Ying Zheng had a relieved smile on his face.
Then he spread his hands and laughed: "Cheers!"
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you."
"Chu will perish."
"My Great Qin is not far from unifying the world."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."
The whole court of civil and military officials congratulated and shouted.
"Is there any movement from Qi?"
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and asked.
"Report to the king."
"Chu did send envoys to Qi for help, but General Wang Jian led the elite soldiers of the Lantian Camp to guard the border. As long as Qi dares to mobilize troops, my Great Qin will dare to attack Qi."
"The King of Qi is not a wise king. He is afraid of the power of my Great Qin and dares not send troops to help Chu."
"So at this moment, the envoys of Chu have been asking for help, and the King of Qi dares not to rescue." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"King of Qi."
"After destroying Chu, the next one will be his Qi." Ying Zheng sneered.
At this moment.
The strategic layout of the Great Qin has been completed.
The effect of the past policy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries has been achieved.
Now, even if Qi really sent troops to aid Chu, Qin would not be afraid.
"Your Majesty is wise."
The ministers shouted in unison.
"The destruction of Chu is a foregone conclusion."
"My lords, how should Wu'an Jun be rewarded?" Ying Zheng smiled and asked the ministers in the court.
This question.
In fact, it was not an inquiry, but there was already a statement.
At this moment.
Without Wang Wan, no one jumped out to say anything.
So Han Fei stood up without hesitation.
"Your Majesty."
"When Wu'an Jun was awarded the title of king, the king once said that if Wu'an Jun succeeded in destroying the country again, he would be promoted to the position of national lieutenant."
"Now that Chu is about to be destroyed, such military merits are enough to promote Wu'an Jun to this position."
"I request that Wu'an Jun be promoted to the position of national lieutenant." Han Fei raised the court hu and said loudly.
The voice fell.
Li Si, Wei Liao, Han Fei and Li Si's officials stood up and said loudly: "Wu'an Jun is the lieutenant of Jin State. We second the motion."
In response.
This result is naturally no surprise.
"My lords, please make your proposal. It is reasonable and logical."
Ying Zheng smiled and immediately followed the trend.
"Pass on my edict."
"When Wu'an Jun returns from defeating Chu, he will be given the title of lieutenant of state and command the military power of our Qin." Ying Zheng announced in a majestic voice.
"Your Majesty is wise." Even if there are some unwilling civil and military officials in the court,
"Now he is just the lieutenant of state."
"Wait until the world is unified."
"I will recognize Feng'er back. You are still surprised."
Looking at the echoes in the court, Ying Zheng smiled in his heart.
Seeing that he was pushed down step by step to the top of the real military officials, Ying Zheng was very satisfied.
Now Zhao Feng's prestige in the army is unmatched.
He will have prestige among civil officials in the future.
Ying Zheng must shape Zhao Feng into a truly qualified crown prince. No one else has this opportunity except Zhao Feng.
——
The capital of Chu!
"Your Majesty."
"The Qin army is coming."
"The capital has been surrounded by the Qin army."
"Xiang Yan, he has not returned to help."
In the court, Zhao Wen said with a sullen face.
"Is Xiang Yan a traitor?"
"Why doesn't he return to help?" The King of Chu looked grim.
It has been so long.
But Xiang Yan has not returned to help, and there is no news of his return.
"Maybe he has betrayed his country."
Zhao Wen sighed.
"What should we do?"
"The Qin army is at the gate of the city."
"My great Chu is in danger!" The King of Chu looked grim.
Just then!
"Wind, wind, wind."
"Strong wind."
The roar of the wind swept across the capital of Chu.
Even in the palace of Chu, the deafening roar of the wind could be clearly heard.
Swept across the capital of Chu.
The Chu army in the city was panicked, and so were the civilians in the city.
The Qin army was fierce, and everyone in the world knew it.
How could they not be afraid?
"The Qin army attacked."
The King of Chu's voice trembled.
Although he wanted to revitalize Chu, he didn't have the ability to do so.
In this crisis, he was really scared.
Outside the capital of Chu.
"The destruction of Chu is today."
"All troops listen to my orders."
"Attack."
Zhao Feng raised the Overlord Spear and shouted angrily.
As the order fell.
Countless arrows and countless rolling stones were thrown towards the capital of Chu, with endless murderous intent.
This suppression lasted for half an hour.
Under the cover of arrow rain and falling rocks.
"Follow me to kill."
Zhao Feng shouted.
He rode out on horseback.
"Follow the king."
"Kill!"
Zhang Ming and his two thousand guards shouted in unison.
As the personal guards of Wu'an Jun, they led the way in the battlefield.
"Kill!"
Countless Qin warriors roared in the back.
The siege infantry went first.
Zhao Feng rushed close to the capital of Chu.
Facing the violent rain of arrows from the capital of Chu.
Zhao Feng raised his bow and arrow.
True essence empowered.
With a whoosh.
The sharp arrow shot out of the air.
It took only a moment.
Boom!
The city gate was smashed by this arrow, and hundreds of Chu soldiers inside were killed or injured instantly.
Withstanding the power of Zhao Feng's arrow.
No ordinary person could resist.
As the city gate was breached.
This battle was a foregone conclusion!
Facing the brazen Qin army.
Even if the Chu army on the city fought desperately, they could not resist at all.
The black-armored Qin army rushed into the capital of Chu like a torrent, a city that had not seen war for hundreds of years.
The fierce battle in the city continued.
The Chu army was defeated and retreated step by step.
But it took more than two hours.
The sky was still bright.
The Qin warriors had already reached the Chu royal palace.
The city was full of fleeing Chu soldiers and surrendering Chu soldiers.
In the court meeting hall of the Chu royal palace!
"Ah...ah..."
"Don't kill me."
"I surrender."
"Spare my life..."
There were loud noises of fighting in the palace.
The faces of the civil and military officials of Chu State turned pale.
Even though they wore weapons to the palace today, they could not overcome the fear in their hearts.
Finally!
With a bang.
The door of the palace was directly broken.
One by one, the black-armored Qin soldiers rushed into the hall.
Looking at the ministers of Chu State in the hall, every Qin soldier who rushed in had flaming eyes, full of excitement and murderous intent.
Killing one of these high officials of Chu State would be a great achievement.
However.
They did not take action directly, but watched these civil and military officials of Chu State cautiously.
These dignitaries in the court would be more meritorious if they were captured alive.
