"Lord City Lord, what happened?"
The woman on the bed stood up from a sitting position, rubbing her eyes and asking. She had just woken up from a dream, looking lazy.
But the Lord of Qucheng didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. After hurriedly packing up some gold and silver, he quickly went out with his baggage on his back.
The door opened, but the scene in front of him was different from before.
A Qin army general stood outside and seemed to be waiting for him. Behind him were a group of soldiers, servants and soldiers, all kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all.
Seeing this scene, the Lord of Qucheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, his face turned pale, and he froze in place.
Wang Lie glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "You are the Lord of Qucheng City?"
"Ah?" The city lord knew that he couldn't hide it. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and could only smile and said: "Yes, yes, the villain is the city lord of Qucheng."
As he spoke, he became wise again and said quickly: "I dare not hide it from the general. The villain has long wanted to return to Qin, but the big leader disagreed. He insisted on becoming the lord of this Qu City. There is nothing he can do. "
Wang Lie was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said directly: "From now on, Qucheng is under the rule of Da Qin. Tomorrow you will post a notice to calm the people."
"Yes, yes, I understand." The city lord responded repeatedly, nodding and bowing.
Qucheng was successfully recovered, and then the main force moved in.
At the same time, Miancheng and Lingcheng were also captured with lightning speed.
Qin general Li Kai took Miancheng and Lingcheng as his base and began to occupy various transportation arteries one by one.
Almost instantly, Yang Heng opened up the situation in Dongyi territory and worked non-stop. While ensuring the rear transportation line, his troops pointed eastwards again.
They successively captured Zoujiazui, Fengtai, Xiting and Laicheng.
Until then, Geng Cheng, who was in Dadong City, had just received the battle report from the front.
Qin's offensive was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
In a short period of time, seven cities in Dongyi have been visited.
Geng Chenggang was horrified and hurriedly gathered his men, gathered 50,000 cloth-armored spears, and rushed to the direction of Laicheng, preparing to stop the Qin army at Baishimen east of Laicheng.
At this time, the naval force led by Chen Guan had braved the wind and waves and successfully landed from the coastal area behind Dongyi.
Donglikou.
This place is located on the seaside, and there are not many people living there, almost all of whom are fishermen.
On this day, a large number of warships arrived on the vast sea. At a glance, they were densely packed and covered the sea.
The warships are tall, spaced in an orderly manner, and are docking at an even speed.
Looking closer, it was filled with Qin soldiers in black armor and red tassels, with shields in front and bows and crossbows behind them.
Some fishermen were fishing nearby. When they saw this scene, they stopped what they were doing and their eyes widened.
"Run quickly, Old Hu! This is a warship!"
"The Qin Army is coming! The Qin Army is coming -"
Some fishing boats rowed hard. Before they could reach the shore, the fishermen on the boats had already jumped into the water, landed ashore in twos and twos, and ran away.
The Qin army did not stop these people. Countless warships spread out and docked along the coast of Donglikou. The planks were lowered. The Qin troops on the warships began to land one by one, then lined up and advanced rapidly.
Regardless of whether there are enemies here or not, the Qin army maintained a fighting state, was well-trained, and ordered to occupy the entire Donglikou as quickly as possible.
Not long after, Chen Guan also jumped off the main ship, and after landing, he walked forward.
Surrounded by Qin soldiers, one group after another, quickly ran in from Chen Guan's side. Thirty thousand Qin soldiers were connected in an endless line.
Half an hour later.
A general ran over quickly, clasped his fists and saluted: "General, after investigation, there are no enemy troops in the entire Donglikou."
"Yes." Chen Guan nodded: "Let the military aircraft battalion continue to explore in the direction of Rongshan and Xiakou."
"No!" The general took the order and left.
At this time, Chen Guan was surveying everywhere, or looking for a suitable place to station, and had arrived at an absolute commanding height, overlooking the entire Donglikou.
He was also accompanied by Navy Vice Admiral Qiao Yun. Upon seeing this, he took out a military map and unfolded it with Chen Guan.
The latter looked down for a while, then clicked on a place next to Donglikou: "Let's set up the camp here, what do you think?"
The deputy general thought so too, and immediately said: "The general has thought carefully. This place is very good. It not only blocks the traffic to the sea, but also will not be cut off by Dongyi. Even if there is any change, our army can smoothly pass through Donglikou." Evacuate by boat.”
"Then it's settled, let Chen Dong be responsible for setting up camp."
After speaking, he handed the map to Qiao Yun and the two left the place.
Chen Guan's battle plan was clear, which was to use the vicinity of Donglikou as his own camp, and then send troops from the camp to attack Rongshan first, then cut off Xiakou, and choke off the entire eastern region of Dongyi.
That afternoon, the falcon circled and news came back from the military aircraft camp.
In the temporary camp, Chen Guan took out the note, unfolded it and read it, then frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, General?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Chen Guanxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Military intelligence came back and said that there were no traces of enemy troops in Rongshan and Xiakou. I didn't expect that Dongyi had no defense here."
"It is not difficult to understand. If Dongyi had troops to defend in the Rongshan area, we would not land from Dongli Pass so easily. The opponent would definitely intercept along the coast."
Qiao Yun said: "Furthermore, General Yang Heng is unstoppable and has conquered several cities. I'm afraid Dongyi is busy dealing with it."
"Is there any problem between Rongshan and Xiakou?" Chen Guan asked. In such a situation, something had to be considered.
"This" the generals looked at each other, Qiao Yun said: "The general suspects fraud, but no matter what, we must occupy Rongshan and Xiakou, otherwise, it will be difficult to open up the situation."
"Yes." After Chen Guan thought for a moment, he nodded and said decisively:
"Zhang Keyong, lead two thousand troops to attack Rongshan."
"Hao Ming, lead two thousand troops to occupy Xiakou."
"I have the order!" The two of them clasped their fists and shouted loudly.
"Be careful." Chen Guan did not forget to explain.
"clear!"
In Rongshan and Xiakou, if there were no Dongyi troops, there would only be some city soldiers. The city soldiers could only be a hundred people at most. Attacking with two thousand regular troops and strong bows and crossbows would probably crush the situation.
Sure enough, the news came back the next day that the Qin army occupied Rongshan and Xiakou, and the city lord surrendered.
Immediately afterwards, just as Chen Guan was formulating his next march plan, another military message came over.
This time, it was Yang Heng’s order.
Yang Heng was the military commander in charge of recovering Dongyi, so he could give orders to Chen Guan.
The order was also very simple. After occupying Rongshan and Xiakou, Chen Guan was asked to fight all the way west along the important transportation lines.
In this regard, Chen Guan had nothing to say, so he immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military affairs and issued military orders one after another.
Like the infantry, the navy was equally unstoppable, swept by strong winds, and marched forward triumphantly.
Within a few days, six cities were conquered.
Therefore, the two arrows from the east and west were divided from two directions, and the front of the army pointed directly at Dadong City in the middle. (End of chapter)
