- "The water is cut off? The water channel is cut off. This has been expected for a long time. Why are you panicking? // Fastest update // (Baidu search)" Cao Zhang calmed down quickly. He thought that the water cut off mentioned by the soldiers was actually It's the two open water sources.
"No, it's not the open water channel, it's the dark water channel, which suddenly stopped this morning!"
Cao Zhang's figure was shaken again, and the expression on his originally resolute face began to distort, and a look of shock surged in his sunken eyes.
After being shocked for a long time, Cao Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth and said reluctantly: "Let's go, take this king to see."
After getting out of the camp, the soldiers led the way, followed closely by Cao Zhang. Many lieutenants who got up early in the morning and came to report to Cao Zhang also followed suit.
This large group of people anxiously rushed to the exit of the dark water, and sure enough they saw that the water had stopped flowing, leaving only a few traces of water on the ground.
Everyone¡¯s expressions were frozen in a moment of horror. A deep fear spread among the crowd as quickly as the plague.
"Don't be afraid. This may be just a temporary water retreat. Maybe the water will come back again after a while." Cao Zhangqiang regained his confidence and comforted everyone loudly.
Only then did everyone¡¯s panic calm down a little.
Throughout the morning, Cao Zhang and his seven thousand men waited anxiously for the water flow to recover. However, until noon, the water flow did not come. The Qin army on the cliff did not even have water for cooking, so they could only make do with it. Chewed some of yesterday's leftover cold rice.
Cao Zhang felt a little anxious and had to order a letter flag to be set up on the top of the cliff. He hoped that Wu Zhi from the other camp would quickly reply to him after seeing it and tell him what the problem was with the dark water source.
What drove Cao Zhang crazy was that from afternoon to evening, there was no response from Wu Zhi at all, and the water flow still did not reappear.
There are more than 7,000 Qin troops. There has been no water all day long. The soldiers are getting more and more anxious and frightened, and their morale is rapidly declining.
Unconsciously, night fell and the water flow still did not recover, which drove Cao Zhang almost crazy.
The reason why Cao Zhang confidently camped on Maiji Cliff was because he relied on the dark water source to lay the foundation. Now all three water sources, light and dark, have been cut off. Cao Zhang's originally proud tactic of taking advantage of danger and defending it turned into a passive situation of drawing territory to form a prison and trapping him to death.
"What's going on with this bitch Wu Zhi? Didn't I order him to guard the dark water source? What on earth is this bitch doing!"
Cao Zhang was restless. He kept yelling and swearing.
The signal he conveyed to his subordinates was that their commander-in-chief, King Liang, was helpless to solve the water source problem. Their seven thousand Qin troops were really without water.
In the Qin camp, panic spread rapidly. Almost the entire Qin army in the camp was whispering, and their hearts were in a state of excitement.
Wen Chou at the foot of Maiji Cliff was very clear about the situation of the Qin army on the mountain.
With Wen Chou¡¯s temperament, he originally planned to attack the mountain that day. However, Xu Shu persuaded him not to rush, and that he might as well trap Cao Zhang for a few more days. When the morale of the Qin army was completely shattered, it would not be too late to attack the mountain again.
Wen Chou had no choice but to keep his temper. He ordered an army of 30,000 men to besiege Maijiya on all sides. Never allow a Qin soldier to sneak down the mountain to steal water.
For three days, Cao Zhang and his 7,000 Qin troops were besieged for three days.
During this period, several lieutenants made suggestions, saying that since the water source had been cut off and the morale of the army was inevitable, it was better to break out while morale was still there and perhaps save some troops.
For these negative suggestions, the fierce Cao Zhang naturally refused viciously. Cao Zhang knew very well that if he broke out and fled, the street pavilion would be captured by the Chu army.
As soon as the Chu army captures Jieting, the gate of Longxi will be opened, and the Chu army of 170,000 to 80,000 people will swarm in and march into the Longxi plain. At that time, what will the Qin State, which has only a few soldiers and few generals, take? To stop the Chu army's crushing footsteps.
Cao Zhang was determined to defend the street pavilion and called on his Da Qin soldiers to show extraordinary courage to fight for Da Qin and the Emperor.
Cao Zhang's generous call did not have much effect. Compared with their commander, the last thing ordinary soldiers need is spiritual encouragement. What he needs most urgently now is water, water, water.
Since the dark water source was cut off three days ago, the soldiers could only eat unpalatable dry rice every day. At first, each person was given a little bit of turbid water to quench their thirst. Later in the siege, even the dirty water was Drink dry.
After three days of siege, the Qin army of seven thousand fell into a state of malaise, and the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.
On the fourth day, some soldiers in the Qin army finally couldn't bear their thirst and chose to escape down the mountain and surrender to the Chu army.
The surrender of the Qin army was a key signal, which made Xu Shu realize that their siege had been effective.
So, on Xu Shu's suggestion, Wen Chou sent thousands of crossbowmen to shoot rockets at the mountain day and night.
Thirst and lack of water, coupled with the baking fire, Xu Shu believed that this would be enough to accelerate the collapse of the Qin army.
From day to night, rockets kept flying and falling on the top of the cliff all the time.
When the Qin army set up camp previously, they had cut down all the trees on Maiji Cliff, but there were still dense weeds on the surface. The Chu army did not need to shoot rockets to the cliff at all. They only needed to light the foothills on fire. Come, the fire will quickly spread to the cliff.
The fire was raging, black smoke was billowing, and the entire Maiji Cliff was shrouded in fireworks, as if it had turned into a big steamer.
The billowing black smoke made the Qin army's already dry throat even worse. When the Chu army's rockets shot into the Qin camp, the Qin army didn't even have water to extinguish the fire. They could only use tarpaulins or clothes to put out the fire. .
Facing the "despicable" tactics of the Chu army that were almost ravaging, Cao Zhang had lost his sense of proportion and didn't know how to deal with it.
On the fifth day of the siege, Xu Shu judged that the morale of the Qin army in Shanshan had collapsed, so he suggested that Wen Chou launch an attack immediately.
Wen Chou had been patient for a long time. What he was waiting for was Xu Shu's words. With an order, the 30,000 Chu army vanguard troops rushed out and rushed towards Maiji Cliff.
The sound of rumbling war drums rose to the sky. Wen Chou raised his gun and shouted: "Come up to the cliff, kill all the rebels, and capture Cao Zhang's son alive¡ª¡ª"
After the order was passed, the Chu army officers and soldiers who had been fed and drunk for a long time, like hungry beasts, launched the most violent attack on the Qin army on Maiji Cliff from all directions.
Cao Zhang, who was distressed in the military tent, received the urgent report of the Chu army's attack and rushed to the front line of the camp gate.
¡°Hush~~¡± Cao Zhang took a deep breath as he reined in his horse.
At this moment, the Chu army at the foot of the mountain, covered by black smoke, had already rushed up the mountainside.
Every Chu soldier had the luxury of wrapping his mouth and nose with a wet cloth to prevent him from being choked by the fireworks.
There were flying arrows all around Maiji Cliff, and the sound of killings was loud. The Chu army attacked from five sides, aimed at the Qin army's five camp gates, and launched a fierce attack.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????: The tide of Chu troops rushing up from all over the mountains and plains is like huge black waves, lapping at the isolated reef of Qin Jun one after another.
¡°Hold it, hold it for me, use your crossbows to shoot the enemy thieves hard~~¡± Cao Zhang waved his sword and roared like thunder.
The Qin army, which was in torment, faced the Chu army's attack, as if it had finally found a channel to vent its inner pain, and launched a crazy counterattack in the desperate situation.
At the Qin camp, the Qin army's crossbowmen endured the smoke of fireworks and fired arrows wildly at the oncoming Chu army. Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the momentum of the Chu army's attack was slightly suppressed.
It is not easy for the Chu army to attack from the rear, but the trees on the hillside have been cut down and the grass has been burned cleanly, allowing the Qin army's crossbowmen to obtain a good shooting range. Under their crazy arrows, the Chu army The army's first wave of strong attacks were forced back.
Wen Chou was also angry, and immediately ordered the retreating soldiers to reorganize and continue to launch an uninterrupted fierce attack.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, rows of Chu soldiers held their shields high and bravely descended against the rain of arrows. When one person fell, the people behind him jumped up without hesitation.
At the same time, the Chu army's crossbowmen kept firing arrows to suppress the enemy's arrow attacks on the cliff.
The fierce battle lasted for two full hours, and both the Chu and Qin armies suffered heavy casualties. From the top of the mountain to the hillside, countless corpses lay scattered, and the blood flowed like a huge red carpet, covered in blood and fire. It filled the entire Maiji Cliff.
Although the Chu army suffered heavy losses, Wen Chou's advantage was that he had more troops. Once a wave of people fell, he could call in another wave of energetic reserves without hesitation.
However, Cao Zhang's troops are limited in number, and his soldiers have been tortured by thirst for a long time. The current battle is entirely based on the instinct of survival.
The potential of willpower is indeed terrifying, but the Qin army is only flesh and blood after all. After the fire of will burns out, it will be replaced by the collapse of the body.
Under the fierce attack of the Chu army, the will of the Qin army finally collapsed.
The Qin army suffered a mental breakdown and could not even lift the spear in their hands, and the crossbow hand was so trembling that he could not even trigger the crossbow machine. The Chu army rushed forward and had their heads chopped off mercilessly.
?????????????????????????????????????????????¡??????????????¡The gate has been broken through by the Chu army, and large numbers of Chu troops rushed into the Qin camp like a tide.
"Your Majesty, please give the order to break out quickly. If you don't give the order, there will be no chance. We will all die -" Before the deputy general could finish his words, he was hit in the face by a flying arrow and fell next to Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang's spirit also collapsed. He knew that the loss of Maijiya and the loss of Jieting was a foregone conclusion.
"I cannot die, I have to go back, I want to live to see my father!"
This thought flashed through Cao Zhang¡¯s mind, and he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: ¡°Break through, the entire army breaks through¡ª¡±
¡¡
??Twenty miles east of the street pavilion.
That mighty army was marching quickly on the road, with the banner with the word "Chu" flying proudly in the wind.
Yan Liang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw that the road ahead was getting wider and wider. He knew that the army was not far from the street pavilion, and his army of more than 100,000 people would soon pass through Longshan.
"I wonder how the battle in Jieting is going?"
While I was thinking, a scout came from the west and arrived directly in front of Yan Liang's chariot.
"Your Majesty, General Hussars has reported success. The street pavilion was captured yesterday!" - Didn't finish reading?
