Thinking of this, he said, "Pass down our military orders, and always keep an eye on the movement of the Qin army. And send people to notify the guards in Pingyu, Sucheng and Xiyang, so that they are all ready to fight."
"promise!"
The soldier responded, and then went down to deliver the order.
Xiang Yan took two steps forward and murmured, "It should be fine."
In many cases, the development of things was worse than expected. Xiang Yan thought that the tens of thousands of Qin troops would not pose any threat to the capital of Chu, but this did not seem to be the case.
More than a month later, Wang Jian was still confronting the main force of Chu State in Yanying.
However, the [-] cavalry led by Meng Tian had captured more than ten cities in a row, and they were less than a thousand miles away from the capital of Chu State!
Today's Qin State cavalry has the cooperation of saddles and other things, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly increased. Coupled with Potu Saburo, it has made it a series of victories.
Under such circumstances, the new King of Chu couldn't sit still any longer. While gathering soldiers from all over the country to stop Meng Tian's offensive, he sent a message to Xiang Yan to ask him to come back as soon as possible.
When Xiang Yan got the news, she was shocked and angry.
What surprised me was that Meng Tian's tens of thousands of horses actually caused such a big commotion, and what made me angry was the incompetence of Chu's generals, who couldn't defend the city with several times their strength.
But even though there are many complicated emotions in my heart at this time, it is useless to think about these now. The most urgent task is to defeat Wang Jian and the 30 Qin army, and then rush back quickly.
Immediately mobilized all the horses and went out of the city to fight the Qin army.
But at this moment, Wang Jian closed the door tightly. No matter how loud and provocative they were, they just didn't want to fight, and they all hid inside.
Seeing this situation, Xiang Yan was quite annoyed, but she didn't dare to attack rashly.
After all, there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. It is difficult to succeed in a strong attack when the opponent is defending, and there will be more losses on your own side. The gain outweighs the gain
Chapter 382 Qin's Trap
Facing the defense of the Qin army, Xiang Yan also expressed helplessness. He wanted to resolve the battle here as soon as possible and then go to support Shouchun, but he had no choice but to stand in a stalemate with the opponent if he couldn't avoid the battle.
Xiang Yan also thought about sending some troops back first, but after some consideration, he gave up this idea.
Being able to break through layers of obstacles so quickly and rush to the hinterland of the Chu State, it can be seen that the tens of thousands of cavalry led by Meng Tian have extraordinary combat effectiveness, and they may even be the trump card army of the Qin State.
If tens of thousands of people are sent there, it won't have much effect, but if more than [-] troops are mobilized, their own side will be weakened, and it is very likely that Wang Jianke will take advantage of it.
So he still decided to stand still and observe first.
Another half month passed, and Wang Jian still didn't make any challenge, as if he was determined to do so.
While he was confronting Xiang Yan, Meng Tian also led tens of thousands of cavalry towards the capital of Chu State.
In order to ensure the strong mobility and flexibility of the cavalry, the army led by Meng Tian did not follow any supply team.
They adopted the strategy of fighting to support the war, carrying food, grass and drinking water for about five days, and then rushing to the target city for a long distance, and then confiscating the resources in the city for replenishment after capturing the city.
Because there are only tens of thousands of people, even a small city can fully afford this part of the consumption.
In this way, the advantages of the cavalry can be fully utilized, and the real swiftness and fire can be achieved.
However, this method has a huge flaw, that is, it cannot have any failure. Once the city cannot be taken down within a few days, and the food and grass cannot be replenished in time, then the entire army is likely to be starved to death.
But it is precisely because of this reason that the army has exploded with greater strength. As the saying goes, there is pressure to be motivated.
Under such circumstances, every soldier forced himself to fight desperately, otherwise, if they could not break through the city gate, there would be nothing but death waiting for them.
Of course, there was a reason why Meng Tian dared to take such a risk.
First of all, among the [-] cavalry led this time, there were a few Potu Saburo accompanying them, which greatly improved the efficiency of the siege.
In addition, there are quite a few masters among the two thousand iron eagle warriors. For the relatively fragile city gate, a few people can break through it with the joint efforts.
As long as the city gate is opened, the tens of thousands of iron cavalry will drive straight in and charge mercilessly, and the enemy army will be defeated after a few rounds.
With the combination of each other, Meng Tian is invincible on this road, able to capture a city every few days.
After learning about this situation, the Chu royal family in Shouchun also hurriedly dispatched the remaining troops to block the cavalry led by Meng Tian.
But even so, he still failed to defeat the opponent, and instead lost his troops.
After successive victories, the name of Meng Tian and his iron cavalry also spread in Chu.
After being exaggerated, it was rendered as if the gods descended from the earth, and it seemed that everyone could fight against a hundred with one.
Some soldiers even started to tremble with fear before they participated in the war.
If the Qin army led by Meng Tian can continue to maintain the speed of marching and attacking the city, it may not take much time to reach the capital of Chu State.
Under such circumstances, King Xiong Qi of Chu hastened to mobilize all the troops in the country, and even mobilized the guards of the royal city in the palace. He mobilized a total of 14 troops, armed Shouchun from top to bottom, and built it into a A piece of iron bucket.
Soon, Meng Tian and tens of thousands of elite cavalry were approaching the city. Seeing the 10,000+ Chu soldiers waiting in full force, he did not order to attack.
Instead, he chose to retreat to a city adjacent to it, and started a stalemate with it.
This city is just next to Shouchun. It was captured by the Qin army a few days ago, and it happened to be a station for food and grass supplies, so it was consumed without haste.
And every few days, iron cavalry will be dispatched to Shouchun City to go around and turn on the mocking mode, but there is no attack.
Faced with such a provocation, Xiang Rong wanted to go out of the city to fight, but was stopped by the king of Chu.
Although the Chu army in the city is several times that of Qin, the opponent is all elite cavalry, and they are equipped with saddles and other things. It is really hard to say the result of the fight.
And if it is defeated, maybe the capital really cannot be kept.
But it's not a problem to be exhausted all the time, just send a messenger to send a message to Xiang Yan again, so that he can return to help quickly.
As long as Xiang Yan's main force arrives, the tens of thousands of Qin troops can be easily wiped out under the attack.
On the other side, Xiang Yan, who was confronting Wang Jian, couldn't hold back her temper after receiving the urgent message, and didn't want to waste time here meaninglessly.
Immediately thereafter, he ordered to pull out the camp and set off to return to aid Chudu.
When retreating, he was very careful, worried that the other party would take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but the result surprised him a bit.
Qin Jun still guarded the city as if he didn't notice their movements.
Xiang Yan always felt that something was wrong, but suddenly his face changed, and he thought of a possibility.
Could it be that Qin Jun is no longer here, just confronting here on the surface, dragging himself here on purpose?
And the real enemy troops may have already secretly rushed towards Shouchun from another route!
"No, hundreds of thousands of troops, how could it be possible to cross thousands of miles without making a sound?"
