    The navy commanded by Li Quan broke through the water city of Yingdu and opened a gap in the solid tortoise shell of Yingdu. The 5,000-strong navy team 6 followed this gap all the way to the left to expand the scope of the breakthrough. Behind them,  The Twelfth Army commanded by Zheng Xiaoyang and the Thirteenth Army commanded by Tie Xun also poured in through this gap. Together with the Fifteenth Army commanded by Hu Tou and the Sixteenth Army commanded by Heng Dao, they attacked from front to back and destroyed the outer perimeter of Yingdu.  The Chu army in Xinye County was blocked, and hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were gathered and annihilated in Xinye. The solid defense of Yingdu was completely broken, and most of the Han army came to Yingdu city.  As a last resort, Qu Zhong withdrew all the remaining 200,000 defenders from the outer perimeter into Yingdu. The war in Jingzhou began in October. By early December, the 500,000 troops gathered by the Chu State had exceeded 300,000.  Defeated, killed in battle, fled, or captured.  The entire outer defense collapsed, and Yingdu became a truly isolated city.  Qu Zhong stood on the city tower, the whistling north wind raised the white hair on his head, and the wrinkles on his face looked deeper than before. Two hundred thousand people guarding the capital of Ying looked like a lot, but Qu Zhong knew very well that now  War is completely different from the past. The emergence of the Han army's heavy artillery has made all the fortified cities no longer impregnable. The war model of relying on numbers to win is gone forever.  The Chu people on the city wall were busy. Piles of sandbags were lifted from the bottom of the city and placed on top of the city wall to prevent the city wall from being damaged by artillery attacks from outside. Countless crossbows and trebuchets were being fired.  He was debugging nervously, but Qu Zhong knew very well that these long-range weapons were useless on today's battlefield. The Han army's artillery far beyond their range could easily destroy them first, making them unable to use them at all.  Half strength.  By now, Qu Zhong was very aware of the Han people's new tactics. When the infantry attacked, there must be a long period of firepower preparation. The roaring shells would destroy most of the defenders' long-range suppression weapons, and in  Under the cover of the rear artillery, the infantry charged forward before the defenders could react or arrange themselves in place.  Their infantry had already climbed to the top of the city, and some cities on the outer defense line were easily broken by the Han army in this way.  ??The Yingdu garrison must have learned these lessons and began to arrange some hidden soldier caves on the city walls.  During the bombardment, these soldiers could hide among them. As soon as the bombardment stopped, they immediately rushed to the wall stacks as quickly as possible to prevent the enemy from boarding the city.  But this time.  All they could use were the weapons in their hands and the simplest crossbows and grenades.  Qu Zhong didn't know how long Ying could hold on. His only hope now was that Qu Wan could make a breakthrough and that the Qin army could penetrate the Han mainland as quickly as possible and force the Han military divisions to save themselves.  "Captain!" Bi Xuan walked to Qu Zhong's side, his face also very solemn.  Bi Xuan was promoted after the Battle of Pengcheng and was an extremely experienced veteran.  In this defensive battle, Qu Zhong also played a very important role.  "The Han army is building a fort. The general has carefully observed it. It is their heavy artillery, and its range can almost reach the center of the city. I am very worried that the Han people will bombard the city desperately and cause panic among the people." "Don't worry, Gao Yuan is sincere.  "Xu Renyi, he would never do this." Qu Zhong shook his head, "Furthermore, by doing this, he will achieve nothing except arousing stronger hatred among the Chu people and a more determined determination to defend Yingdu.  Come. General Bi, can you think of any way to deal with these heavy artillery? They pose too great a threat to the city wall. " "It would be better if the renovation work of Yingdu was carried out a few years earlier. If the outer walls were wrapped with reinforced concrete structures.  . The defense will be greatly enhanced against artillery attacks, even if it is better to build more hiding holes in the city!" Bi Xuan said with some pain, "But we have done nothing, and now we are thinking that the enemy is coming.  We just discovered that the city walls of Yingdu are too old, and some places are in tatters. These repaired areas are the biggest hidden dangers! " "Who would have thought that Gao Yuan's strategy was to start with Chu and then with Qin!  A wry smile appeared on his face: "This is our biggest mistake. If Qu Wan's 200,000 troops had not gone out, the outcome would not be like this. Fortunately, the people of Qin also understand now. If they don't take action, everyone will  We are finished together. Now, we can only hope that Qu Wan and the Qin people can defeat the Han people's homeland and force Gao Yuan's division to save themselves. We can then take advantage of the situation to counterattack and let Gao Yuan care about the head and the tail. As long as we can do this, let the Han.  If the country is completely defeated, we can at least gain a few years or even more than ten years of recuperation time. With this time, Qin and Chu will definitely be able to compete with the Han people. " Bi Xuan was silent for a moment, "Captain, I have one.  It was a very bad guess, but I didn¡¯t dare to say it to anyone casually, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army, but I was very sad to hold it in my heart. " Qu Zhong turned around and looked at Bi Xuan: "What time has it been? There is nothing else I can't say.  Yes, could the situation be worse than it is now?" Bi Xuan hesitated for a moment.Yu said: "Taiwei, since the Han army began to attack our Da Chu, it lasted more than a month, and they defeated the armies of our Da Chu from all over the country and occupied most of our land. The god of attack is so efficient that it makes people wonder.  It was like being in a nightmare, but since the Taiwei began to mobilize troops from various places, such as Yingdu, and deliberately gave up the place, the Han army's offensive speed slowed down, as if they were allowing us to mobilize troops from various places to Jingzhou to organize the final attack.  The defense line is average, which is contrary to common sense. I thought carefully that if the Han army wanted to stop the Taiwei, their cavalry could completely block some local troops from entering Jingzhou, but they did not do so. " Qu Zhong's face changed slightly:  "What do you want to say?" "At first I thought, could it be that Gao Yuan was thinking of finishing his work in one battle? After allowing us to mobilize troops from various places into the Jingzhou war zone, he worked hard to destroy the last essence of our great Chu, so that we would never  After a setback, they no longer have the power to resist. Solve the problem once and for all to avoid the emergence of resistance forces in various places after the war and cause them trouble," said Bi Xuan.  "Perhaps he has this idea, but he may not have imagined that we will unite the power of the Qin people to attack them and save them." Qu Zhong said.  "Lieutenant, what if Gao Yuan has thought of this? Does Gao Yuan naively think that taking the peace treaty seriously will make Lu Lao Lao remain a coward in Xianyang?" Bi Xuan asked.  Qu Zhong took a deep breath: "A wise man must make a mistake after thinking a lot. The Han army has been invincible since the day it formed an army. The defeat in Pengcheng was one of the few defeats they suffered. The Han army has always won.  The teacher must be arrogant. Furthermore, the civil strife in Qin has just subsided, or Gao Yuan could not have expected that Lu Yiran would quell the domestic turmoil in such a short period of time. " "Yes, this is a possibility, but I don't think so.  Worry about another possibility." Bi Xuan said seriously.  "Another possibility?" "Yes, Gao Yuan and Lu grew up together, and later fought against each other many times. If there is anyone in the world who understands each other best, it is probably none other than the two of them. What I'm worried about is  , What Gao Yuan wants to do once and for all is not only for us Chu people, but also for Qin people. " "What do you mean?" Qu Zhong said with a change of expression.  Bi Xuan's face was as white as the falling snow: "Lieutenant, I have been thinking about this issue these days. If things are really as I thought, Gao Yuan has considered everything. We are waiting for Qin  If the Qin people retreated into the country, the Han army would have to attack city by city, which would take a long time and cause heavy losses. But what if the Qin people came out?  ? What if Gao Yuan has set a trap for the Qin people to get in? In that battle, as long as Gao Yuan wins, it will truly destroy our Chu State once and for all, and eliminate the last strength of the Qin State.  At that time, if the Han army marches into Qin again, I am afraid that Qin will have no more soldiers to resist." Qu Zhong's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms.  , "You, how did you have this idea?" "The speed of the Han army's attack." Bi Xuan sighed: "Since entering the Jingzhou theater, the Han army's attack has been unhurried, seemingly every day  As they move forward, in fact, they are attacking with different units. Today, this unit and the other unit are taking turns to attack. This is what I discovered after I had some free time in the past two days and thought of this possibility, so I went to read the previous military reports.  . They didn't try their best at all, but since the Qin people came out and Qu Wan entered Yingzhou County, the Han people's attack suddenly increased. Taiwei, they are unstoppable. The naval battle gave the Han people a strong offensive capability. Our navy  It's not an opponent at all. If that's the case, then why didn't Gao Yuan open the gap from somewhere? Could it be that a general like Gao Yuan couldn't think of it? Even if Gao Yuan couldn't think of it, no one of his generals could think of it? " "  Suddenly accelerating, it is obvious that Gao Yuan wants to end the war, because he has got what he wants. Now the Qin people must have dispatched in large numbers, entered the Han territory, and started fighting. Since the snake has come out of the hole, Gao Yuan will naturally  Capture us as quickly as possible, and then go to deal with the Qin people." Qu Zhong raised his head high: "Maybe you are right, but we still have an army of 200,000 in Yingdu. Are we nothing?  Is it true? He can take it if he wants to. Let him attack, we Chu people will show him what the Great Wall of Flesh is!" Bi Xuan nodded silently, what can he say?  If everything is true as he said, if the Qin army suffers a devastating defeat, the Chu country will be finished. He would rather all this is his delusion.  When Qu Zhong and Bi Xuan were standing on the city tower, in the Han army's position in the distance, on the tall tower, Gao Yuan was slowly closing the telescope in front of him: "Xu Yahua left Hangu Pass.  , Wang Changyong came out of Shannan County, Qu Wan, and Meng Yong attacked Yingshui. Almost all the enemies who should have come out came out, and Yingdu??Mission accomplished.  Tomorrow morning, the general attack begins!  " "Obey!"  "Above the tower, dozens of generals bowed in unison.
