Chapter 597 Crazy
It's bright.
The sun shines on the mountains and rivers, raising a layer of water color.
In front of Longwang Mountain, everything is flat. There is only one protruding stone, named Dragon Head.
At this time, a man in black clothes was standing on this large raised rock.
Since last night, Qin troops have been approaching here one after another. By this time, more and more soldiers had gathered under the boulder.
These troops were obviously not from the same army and were not very familiar with each other.
After the Qin army's position was penetrated by the Chu army, all the troops lost control. All they could choose was to escape from the Chu army's pursuit. After all, the area between Yingshui and Sishui is flat and does not have many high mountains. If they escape northward, pass through the Chu army's blockade, and return to Wei, they can get a chance of life.
However, whether he can finally escape remains to be seen. After all, the Qin army did not originally have much food in stock, and even less was distributed to each soldier. This food was not enough to support the Qin soldiers to escape across an area of hundreds of miles.
Dragon King Mountain is located south of Daliang Mountain and belongs to the hinterland between the Qin and Chu armies. If the Qin army wanted to escape, they should not come here.
The reason why so many people gathered here was entirely because of the man standing on the boulder.
Hanyang Jun Zhao Shuang!
The calm was broken with the arrival of the Chu army's forward sentry cavalry. A group of elite Qin soldiers who had been chasing all the way were resting under a big rock. When they noticed the arrival of Chu Qi, they stood up one after another, like frightened birds.
However, Chu Qi did not attack here while taking advantage of the victory. This forward sentry seemed to be here just for reconnaissance. Seeing the flags flying in the mountains, they stayed for a while and then retreated.
The Qin soldiers who were standing up to prepare for battle saw this and sat down again.
"How about over there at Dragon King Mountain?"
The Chu army was in a hurry to pursue the Qin army, but suddenly, the elites of the Qin army seemed to have received some kind of news, and they all headed towards Longwang Mountain.
Just when he was feeling strange about the news, Xiang Yan soon received the news that Zhao Shuang led his army to capture Longwang Mountain.
Longwang Mountain is a place between Ying and Si that is easy to attack but difficult to defend. Because it is accessible in all directions and has no dangerous points, this area did not have much value when the Chu army and the Qin army were confronting each other.
But the Qin army is now in chaos, and this place is where the elite Qin army from all walks of life can quickly gather.
Because during the confrontation, neither the Qin nor Chu armies paid much attention to this area, but regarded it as a strategic wasteland. Therefore, there were no fortresses to garrison around it.
The Chu army gathered here from all directions. In the temporary camp, Xiang Yan sat by the fire and discussed the military situation with a group of generals.
The horse was eating weeds nearby and raised its hooves from time to time.
Long Qie returned from the front reconnaissance and came to this temporary camp.
"General, I have seen clearly, Zhao Shuang is at Longwang Mountain, and a group of defeated Qin soldiers are gathering in front of the mountain."
"Zhao Shuang abandoned Daliang Mountain and robbed Dragon King Mountain. What is he going to do?"
When Xiang Yan said this, the surrounding Chu army generals all fell silent. It’s not that I don’t say it, it’s that I don’t know clearly.
Dragon King Mountain is not worth defending. Under the current situation, the Chu and Qin armies from all directions will gather together.
Obviously, it is impossible for Zhao Shuang to hold on here.
"Ji Bu reported that Wang Ben's army captured Chen Di, and Changping Jun left the bluffing troops in the city and was wiped out. Now Sanchuan's army has captured Xiangcheng, and Wang Ben's army has captured Chen Di. After the two armies reunited, Qin General Wang Ben is the commander-in-chief and is heading towards Sanliting. How long do you think we can last?"
Xiang Yan asked.
"It doesn't matter how long we hold out. As long as Ji Bu can hold on for two days, our army will go to the Dragon King Mountain boundary tomorrow and kill these Qin troops like frightened birds!"
Xiang Liang said.
Xiang Yan agreed with Xiang Liang's words, but he did not agree with the optimism in them.
"The report of the battle here was sent back to Shouying, and the king was overjoyed. However, Zhao Shuang's 10,000 troops have arrived in the suburbs of Shouying. The king asked us to end the war here and immediately rush south for reinforcements."
Is Zhao Shuang's 10,000 troops so powerful?
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little surprised. However, at this time, no one had much idea about this matter, and everything still prioritized the war at Dragon King Mountain.
"But according to the general's orders."
"Okay! The generals will restrain the troops, and tomorrow we will go to Longwang Mountain to have a life-or-death showdown with the Qin army."
The night wind blew, bringing with it a bit of chill.
After the two Chu armies defeated the Qin army, Changping Jun and his party met with Xiang Yan. Now, we are in the rear camp.
Lord Changping is quite unfamiliar to many Chu people. In addition to his status as the eldest son of the late king of Chu, he had lived in Qin since childhood and his living habits were very different from those of other Chu people.
Everyone treated him with due courtesy and respect, but because they were not familiar with him yet, they showed some alienation.
"The King of Chu's royal decree is already on the way, and we are still allowed to follow the title of Qin."
"The Lord Changping and Lord Changwen of Chu State?"
Chang Pingjun smiled. Changping Jun is the eldest son of the previous king of Chu State. In terms of status, he is far superior to the concubine Fu Chu. In terms of succession to the King of Chu, Lord Changping was more qualified than the self-reliant Fuchu who killed the king.
Lord Changping helped Chu rebel against Qin, but regardless of life and death, he teamed up with Xiang Yan to attack the Qin army and defeated it.
All 200,000 soldiers of the Chu army could see that they admired Lord Changping in their hearts. This admiration even exceeds the respect for King Chu.
The King of Chu was naturally aware of the threat posed to him by Lord Changping. The king of Chu asked him to seize the title of Qin, which was not an eyesore. This is to remind the people of Chu that although Lord Changping is of Chu blood, he grew up in Qin since childhood.
Except for their bloodline, they are no different from Qin people.
Lord Changping had no intention of paying attention to King Chu's petty thoughts, and all his energy was on Dragon King Mountain.
Although the Qin army was defeated, it could be defeated but not destroyed. A large number of elite troops gathered on Dragon King Mountain. As far as the Chu army is concerned, this war will not end unless this army is defeated.
"What's going on over at Dragon King Mountain?"
"Three more captain's armies and approximately 3,000 people have arrived at Longwang Mountain. At this moment, more than twenty captain's and school captain's armies have gathered at Longwang Mountain. What does Zhao Shuang want to do?"
Chang Wenjun knew that Longwang Mountain was not a place to defend, and there was no need to defend it. In the current situation, many Qin troops fled north. He didn't understand Zhao Shuang, nor did he understand the Qin troops gathered at Longwang Mountain.
"With Zhao Shuang's arrogance, he will naturally have to fight against the trapped beast."
"Does Mr. Changping think so too?"
Outside the camp, Fan Zeng came and bowed.
Chang Pingjun's identity is subtle. As the generals of the Chu State with heavy troops, the Xiang family naturally had to keep an appropriate distance from Lord Changping, especially under the influence of the King of Chu.
But Fan Zeng didn't care about this. Lord Changping knew the Qin army better than the Chu people.
"Lin Luhou is not someone who wants to risk his own death. If he takes this risk, he still needs to be cautious."
Lin Luhou?
In Qin, no one called Zhao Shuang that, and no one dared to call Zhao Shuang that. Although there are rumors, Qin officials do not approve it.
This is almost political correctness.
Lord Changping did not expect that the people of the Six Kingdoms would not take it seriously.
"If Zhao Shuang thought that with tens of thousands of defeated troops, he could defeat Chu's 200,000-strong army, then he was really out of his mind."
