Although King Chu of Chu stopped Zhaohe, Zhaohe's words made Xiang Yan's blood suddenly surge into his heart, almost to the point of bursting out.
He was furious in his heart, but Xiang Yan was old after all, so he still suppressed his anger.
He knew in his heart that if he broke out, the resistance to Qin that had finally been gathered together would collapse in an instant.
For the sake of Da Chu, he had to swallow this breath.
He knew in his heart that the current Chu State could not withstand the hardships and could not tolerate internal chaos, otherwise it would only be cannibalized by the Qin people one by one.
After some debate, the emperor and his ministers separated unhappy. Now, Xiang Yan was really in a difficult position.
The temple was dirty and Xiang Yan was helpless.
He could only focus on the war and strive to defeat Wang Jian in one battle.
…
Seven days later, the King of Chu came to Ruyin again with his ministers.
Xiang Yan greeted Fu Chu with solemn eyes. He knew in his heart that the troublemaker was here.
After suppressing the irritability in his heart, Xiang Yan bowed to the King of Chu and said, "Your Majesty, Xiang Yan, pay homage to the King!"
"Um!"
The King of Chu nodded and turned to Xiang Yan, "General, how is the war going?"
"The two armies are at a stalemate and have not yet clashed!"
As soon as these words came out, Yin Zhaohe was the first to speak and said: "General, with the strength of our Chu army and the high morale, why don't we attack by force?"
"The Qin army is heavily fortified. If our army insists on attacking, it will only lead to casualties in vain." Xiang Yan replied, his eyes full of solemnity.
But none of the senior ministers believed Xiang Yan's words.
Even the King of Chu frowned and said word by word: "General, if the Qin army is really so strong, why not attack our army and completely capture Huaibei?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
After all, the King of Chu was dissatisfied even with his cud, and others were even more so.
At this moment, Grand Sima Jingtong said in a deep voice: "The fact that the Qin army did not attack fully demonstrates the weakness of the Qin people!"
"Our army has not attacked the Qin army for a long time. Doesn't the general want to say something?"
At this time, Xiang Yan's face was livid, and his tone was cold, and he said: "May I ask your Majesty and all of you, was it me, Xiang Yan, who planned and decided this battle?"
"What if it is? What if it is not?"
At this time, Ling Yin Zhaohe answered the call again.
Hearing this, Xiang Yan became angry and said: "If I am trying my best to arrange this, then please shut up."
"If this is the case, Xiang Yan's decision does not count, then I will immediately lead the Xiang family back to Jiangdong, and all the armies will return to their respective territories!"
At this moment, Xiang Yan completely lost his temper, and King Chu Chu and the senior ministers had nothing to say.
The war is imminent, and General Xiang Yan is the main force against Qin.
At this moment, the King of Chu looked at Xiang Yan and said in a deep voice: "It is natural for the general to prepare and make decisions for the army, but I want you to break through the wall and defeat Qin in a month!"
"Your Majesty, the last general!!"
"General, there's no need to say anything. This matter is settled!" King Chu shook his head.
"promise."
After a long time, Xiang Yan calmed down and nodded.
Wait for King Chu and others to leave.
"Send the order and launch a massive attack tomorrow!"
At this moment, Xiang Yan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was planning to launch a massive attack on Qin.
"General, it is not appropriate to attack Qin at this time!"
Xiang Liang's eyes were full of worry.
Hearing this, Xiang Yan smiled faintly and said: "If the Chu army had not experienced a major defeat, I would never have thought of implementing Huainan's resistance against Qin."
"Go on, send the order, make the noise louder, don't go all out, our elite troops will not be dispatched."
"promise."
Seeing Xiang Yan's resolute attitude, Xiang Liang turned around and left without saying a word.
Following Xiang Yan's order, the Chu army marched out from Pingyu, Bencheng, and Ruyin and launched an attack on Wang Jian.
More than 600,000 troops were overwhelming, with flags fluttering like khaki dragons roaring in the air.
"General, the Chu army is attacking!"
Wang Jian was now on the archery tower, watching the Chu army attack, and said in a solemn tone: "What is the specific situation?"
"Report to the general, the Chu army came out from three places, but Xiang Yan's troops have not moved!"
"Send orders to all the troops to guard, and the Chu army cannot be allowed to break through the barrier!"
Wang Jian's tone was solemn, and he gave the order decisively, saying: "At the same time, send an order to Gongzishu to capture Pingyu before dark!"
"promise."
With an order, drums and trumpets suddenly sounded in the Qin army's camp.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Arrows all over the sky suddenly whizzed down.
"Send the order, dispatch the heavy armored infantry!"
"promise."
Facing the Chu army's first large-scale attack, Wang Jian quickly dispatched heavy armored infantry behind the arrow formation.
The heavily armored infantry are the real elite of the Qin army.
If compared with the Qin warriors themselves, the combat power of infantry is superior to that of cavalry, among which the heavy armored infantry is the most terrifying.
After all, the powerful crossbows and various large-scale offensive and defensive equipment of the Great Qin infantry were unparalleled in the world.
As soon as the heavy armored infantry came out, the Chu army's offensive was frustrated. At this moment, the heavy armored infantry suppressed the Chu army and pursued them.
"kill!"
After about half an hour of bloody fighting, the Chu army all over the mountains and plains could not break through the Qin army's barriers, but suffered heavy casualties.
On top of the cloud chariot, Xiang Yan had a complicated look on his face: "Send the order, ring the gold and withdraw the troops!"
"promise."
"General, in this battle, our three battalions lost more than 50,000 lives, more than 60,000 were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured."
"Pingyu was defeated by the Qin army, and our defense line..."
After hearing the report, Xiang Yan looked ugly and his heart was bleeding: "Report the results of the battle to the king and ask the court to show it!"
"promise."
"Find out who broke Pingyu!"
"promise."
…
At this moment, Wang Jian's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.
The armies of Qin and Chu have been facing each other for several months.
The desolation in autumn and winter is not very noticeable on the banks of the Huai River. The trees are still green and the mountains are still green.
However, Wang Jian knew that once winter arrived in two months, the battle would be delayed for another year, and Chu's power would surely increase, creating changes.
Only Wang Jian knew clearly that Xiang Yan would not be able to bear it if things continued like this, and so would Da Qin.
"What are the casualties of our army in this battle?"
Sima of the Chinese Army spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, in this battle our army lost 5,000 people, suffered 3,000 serious injuries, and suffered minor injuries of 30,000. Young Master Shu led his army to defeat Pingyu."
"In this battle, our army will kill fifty thousand enemies!"
"Um."
Wang Jian nodded and remained silent.
He knew in his heart that the reason why this battle was like this was not because the Qin army was unparalleled in combat power, but because Xiang Yan did it deliberately.
"I sent an order to your Majesty to stop and tell Hei Bingtai and the scouts in the army to keep an eye on Xiang Yan and the King of Chu."
"If they have any trouble, this general will know about it!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Central Army turned and left.
At this moment, Wang Jian turned to Meng Tian and said, "Meng Tian, I will give you a hundred thousand troops. You can stay in hiding day and night and secretly advance to the capital of Chu."
"Wait for the general's order!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "Running for thousands of miles, the young master is better at the art than the general!"
