To the south of Jingzhou City, Li Jing's army successfully captured Jingzhou, the last county.
now! The entire Jingzhou belonged to Qin.
certainly! What many people did not expect was that the pace of Qin's advance was so fast. In less than two months, Jingzhou, which had an army of 350,000, was completely occupied by Qin.
The Chu army outside Guijun, under the command of Chu Governor Xiao Huangqi, launched attacks on the Lantian military camp again and again.
Without the protection of city walls and the support of cannons, Lantian's 20,000 troops had blocked the Chu army for four days. The process is extremely difficult and even difficult.
Chu State had powerful and intensive artillery fire. Amid the indiscriminate bombardment, Lantian's 20,000 troops fought desperately to resist. Finally, after the stronghold was broken, they retreated steadily. The army of 20,000 has been completely lost so far.
Except for Lan Tian, who is still alive, he only has more than 2,000 soldiers under his command.
But period! Under the leadership of Lantian Danwo, they annihilated all 30,000 enemy troops. Now, even Lantian's troops have all been killed in battle and have suffered no loss at all.
kill!
The Chu army quickly invaded and occupied the Lantian camp.
"General, the stronghold has been breached and our army can advance again." Zhou Zhaojian said loudly.
"well!"
Xiao Huangqi sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Qin General Lan Tian was the first general to follow the King of Qin, and later guarded Wuguan, but he had no impressive record."
"But I didn't expect that even a guy who doesn't turn around can be so powerful. His ability to defend a city is rare in this world!"
"General Zhou, lead the army to annihilate all the Qin troops, leaving no one behind."
"There is also Lan Tian, who must be killed. If not, such a person will eventually become a serious problem for our Chu country."
If you want to surrender, Xiao Huangqi has said this more than once, but Lantian Oil and Salt can't come in!
"No!" Zhou Zhaojian immediately accepted the order, led the army, and launched the most violent attack on the Qin army.
How can one person in Lantian defeat a thousand troops?
Under the double siege of Chu generals Deng Zhong and Zhou Xi, they finally could no longer withstand the pressure.
"Lantian, my Commander-in-Chief has given you the opportunity to surrender. However, you are stubborn and stubborn, but we can't help you." Zhou Xi's face turned cold and he said to Lantian in an extremely cold voice.
Hahaha!
Lantian looked up to the sky and laughed, suddenly! A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
puff!
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he said calmly: "I, Lan Tian, am not capable enough to expand the territory for the king like other generals, and I cannot kill all your Chu army. It's just a pity that I, Lan Tian, can't see the king unify It’s time for the world.”
"Chu State, just wait! After destroying Chen State and recovering Jingzhou, your Chu State and the entire Jiangdong will follow."
It's death!
Nor will he die by the enemy's sword.
Lantian used almost all his strength to lift his sword and put it on his neck.
There was a bitter smile on his lips, as if the unwillingness in his heart was contained in the smile.
"Your Majesty, if there is an afterlife, Lan Tian will still be your general."
Tear!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian resolutely wiped his neck away.
Blood was left from the throat, shockingly! Then he fell to the ground. Before he died, both eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Zhou Xi and Deng Zhong on the side couldn't help but feel startled when they saw such a scene. Inexplicably, they felt a different kind of feeling and were deeply touched.
"well!"
"What a pity! Such a loyal and brave man was not born in our country of Chu."
At this time, Zhou Xi and Deng Zhong were no longer happy to kill Lan Tian and annihilate the Qin army. But it was the Qin Army's perseverance, loyalty, and unyielding fighting spirit that made everyone feel an inexplicable fear.
The Qin army without its general was already furious. In Qin, they accepted the latest concepts and ideas.
The concept of individual soldier combat has been deeply implemented in his mind.
Even if they die in battle to the last man, they will not surrender to the enemy.
Tear!
After killing the last Qin soldier, a group of Chu soldiers looked around with lingering fear to see if there were any Qin soldiers who were still alive!
In this battle, a mere 20,000 Qin troops were wiped out, and more than 30,000 Chu soldiers were killed in the battle. It is conceivable that the strength of the Qin army is not in vain!
But Xiao Huangqi was standing on the high platform, looking at the situation from the Qin Army camp.
The Qin army fought to the death and fought to the last breath, which shocked him to the core. Just ask! Is there any country in the world that can do this? In his country of Chu, there was that soldier who would put aside his life and die with the enemy.
No...no! Other countries can't do it, and neither can his country, Chu.
Being an enemy of such a demonic army is really a kind of torture.
"Grand Governor, you have seen it all!" Zhou Zhaojian ran over and was about to report the battle.
But guess! At this time, Xiao Huangqi should also know the result.
Um!
Xiao Huangqi nodded slightly.
"General Zhou, order the army to withdraw from Jingzhou territory." Xiao Huangqi said.
ah!
Zhou Zhaojian thought he had heard wrong and asked specifically again, "Captain Governor, we managed to capture Lantian with great difficulty. Guiyang County is right in front. I thought that with tens of thousands of troops, we would not be able to capture it easily."
"Our army paid such a heavy price and actually withdrew at the last word. Is it... is it too hasty?"
Yes! After all, Xiao Huangqi is not an ordinary person. The world in his mind is much more powerful than Zhou Zhaojian's mind. Naturally! Just think more than him.
"General Zhou doesn't know yet! Our navy encountered Qin's navy in the Huaichuan River, and there was a little collision and friction. And... this collision happened in both Jingzhou waters and Yuezhou waters. Boundary." Xiao Huangqi said.
Xiao Huangqi's words were obvious enough.
"What the Governor means is that Qin has already captured Jingzhou City?"
"No way! Jingzhou City is not small, and it is a fortified city. In less than two months, Qin State has captured Jingzhou City?"
Apparently! Zhou Zhaojian didn't believe it. after all! Once the city of Jingzhou is destroyed, it means that the Chen Kingdom will be destroyed.
"Nothing is impossible? The Qin State is powerful. If the Jingzhou Navy is recruited and surrendered, we, as a mere Chu State, will not be able to resist it."
"Send the order for the army to withdraw to Chu State."
After Xiao Huangqi finished speaking, he said no more, as if he was deep in thought.
"promise!"
Zhou Zhaojian took the order and went down to summon the entire army to retreat.
At this time, Xiao Huangqi's face was particularly solemn.
"well!"
"It seems it's time to go back to Jinling." Xiao Huangqi thought.
After all, Chu Guohe may have to fight a battle to protect the country next.
He returned to Jinling to discuss strategies with the King of Chu and the ministers of Chu.
