Chapter 56 Crease
"Fourth Prince," Chai Tanxiong rushed into the Palace of Qinzheng, "Qin has launched an attack."
Chu Qing frowned. Qin State hurriedly marched to Chu State. The army was already exhausted. Attacking that night, it was still a siege battle, unless it was sure to win. If it could not be attacked for a long time, morale would definitely decline. Such a self-defeating tactic is not like Qin Wuzhou handwriting.
Chu Qing thought of another person, Lu Xun, Prime Minister of the Qin State, who was fond of gambling, but in the original book, the Chu State was indeed incompetent and declining, and he was betting correctly several times.
"You like to gamble so much," Chu Qing sneered, "This time, I'll let you lose everything."
In the garrison barracks of Jianyang City, Commander Wu was arranging his troops. At any rate, he still had [-] soldiers to spare. He hastily arranged the more capable soldiers on the weakly defended city wall.
When Chu Qing stepped into the military tent, everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Commander Wu was pacing anxiously and restlessly. He was overjoyed when he saw Chu Qing's figure. He was about to salute, but Chu Qing stopped him.
Commander Wu said to Chu Qing: "Fourth prince, your body is precious, and you are the safest in the palace."
Chu Qing ignored Commander Wu, turned around and looked at the layout map, he directly pointed to several places in the picture, and said to Commander Wu: "In these places, put those bags of wine and rice in your mouth."
"Why?" Commander Wu frowned.
"Jianyang City was once known as a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The siege of the city is very expensive. These towers are well-built, and no one will use eggs to attack stones. These places must be dominated by feints. If you want to fight a time war, you must Use our pawns to the extreme." Chu Qing looked at the flames far away, his eyes were extremely firm.
"Fourth prince, I understand. This is the first battle, and we have to take this opportunity to train the brats." Commander Wu looked at Chu Qing with a different look. He didn't know how to describe it, but in his eyes Here, Chu Qing is better than all the princes in the Chu Kingdom, and he is many times better than the dead King of Chu.
"Tonight is a test. Don't be too nervous. Even if Jianyang City is dilapidated, if you want to capture Jianyang City overnight with a force of [-], Qin State may be overthinking it." Chu Qing glanced at Commander Wu just now. Arrangement, as a defender, he is definitely a qualified defender, that's enough.
Although Chu Qing said so, he knew that these words were just to comfort the generals defending the city and stabilize the morale of the army. If you have no ability, you will abandon your troops and flee when you see the enemy. Let alone 20, [-] soldiers will not be able to defend the city.
Therefore, the most important thing is morale. Jianyang City does not have any advantages at all. When the city was built, it accumulated a large amount of grain and built high walls. Now the walls of Jianyang City are dilapidated, but the grain reserves are quite sufficient. If you want to fight a long battle, Chu Qing is confident that she can afford it.
With him, Prime Minister Bian, Commander Wu and other generals guarding the city, the courtiers who harbor evil spirits in the center of the city are nothing to be afraid of.
In addition, if General Jin rushes back at full speed, it will take eight days. As long as he survives the eight days, He County still has [-] extra troops. It is not suitable to mobilize now, but General Jin can join General Jin's team on the way. , then with General Jin cooperating with him, under the attack from inside and outside, Chu Qing even had the confidence to turn defeat into victory.
The wind of early winter brought a biting chill, Chu Qing put on a thick coat and climbed onto the city wall.
The ministers with important responsibilities are busy with this battle in their posts, and the ministers who have nothing to do are forced to stand behind the city gate. Chu Qing in the cold wind.
Outside the city are countless Qin soldiers holding torches. Countless people in the city are yelling "war is coming" in fear. Some people are packing their bags and preparing to break the city and flee. I stood up and told everyone, trying to do my best for this country...
Chu Qing saw all the scenes outside the city and inside the city. People's hearts and human nature are complicated. Countless miracles originated from this, and many disasters were also brewed from it. But he always believed that unyielding and resistance were buried deep in everyone's heart.
"Everyone," Chu Qing stood on the tower, he said to the soldiers guarding the city, and also to the officials who were forced to defend the city, "Jianyang City is the place where you lived and grew up, and now the enemy army is at the gate of the city." For the sake of the family members in the city, you have no choice but to win this battle."
"The king of Chu passed away, and the crown prince passed away. Even so, as the prince of Chu, I will always guard the city gate. All soldiers of Chu," Chu Qing looked at the young or old faces, "There are not only your family members in this city, but also your compatriots. They are running for you, raising money and food, and supporting the front line."
"The reinforcements will arrive in a few days. As long as they survive, the Qin army below the gate will not only be unable to capture Jianyang City, but will become our prey." Chu Qing raised his voice when he said this, "Kill one person Reward ten gold, keep it for seven days, and you will be promoted to a higher level."
"Guard the glory that belongs to Chu!"
All the soldiers were excited, they shouted "Long Live Chu", and everyone seemed to see the scene of victory.
Inspired by money, the fearsome Qin soldiers became less terrifying.
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he stood in a hidden place and coughed desperately. The previous whipping punishment was not healed, and the poison was not cleared. He dared not take the antidote given by King Chu before his death. Sleeping, Chu Qing could feel that his body was giving him a warning.
Commander Wu stood aside, anxious in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Fourth prince, you are in poor health, hurry up and go to rest."
Chu Qing managed to slow down, shook his head, and said to Commander Wu: "Not now, at least not today."
"The most important thing in this battle of defending the city is that our morale should not be weak. Once the enemy sees the decline, they will bite us like wolves," Chu Qing looked at the Qin army who had set up the ladder, and continued Said, "If the defense is successful tonight, then the Qin army will not act rashly."
In the battle of defending the city, the attacking party has to pay dozens of times that of the defending city.
When the soldiers of Chu State saw the new king of Chu standing on the city wall and fighting side by side with them, their morale was naturally boosted.
As a general under the old king of Chu, Commander Wu was naturally able to defend the city. After beheading a few deserters, the situation in Jianyang City stabilized.
Rolling stones, wooden stakes, and hot oil are regularly thrown down from the city tower... to minimize the cost of defending the city.
Chu Qing watched Qin's soldiers' offensive gradually weaken, and knew that Qin's prime minister, Lu Xun, would suffer a disastrous defeat in the first battle.
He looked at the camp where the Qin State had camped in the distance, whether Qin Wuzhou was there, and what was he thinking now?
Qin's army, the main tent.
Lu Xun stood behind the sand table with a rather irritable expression on his face. Qin's late-night raid tactics did not achieve the expected victory. Battle reports from the front line came frequently. When they were about to attack the city, Chu Qing had already dispatched the imperial guards to repair the city defense with all their strength. , although the repair was not perfect, but it blocked the shortcut to break through Jianyang City.
The officials who once intended to turn against the Qin State were silent now, and the entire Jianyang City was completely guarded by Chu Qing.
Even the scene of the soldiers and soldiers being dispirited did not happen at all, and Lu Xun did not know how many spies and spies were stuffed in the Chu State, from the palace to the shoulders of the soldiers. It can be said that even some officials in the court of the Chu State did not have him. So understand the true national conditions of Chu.
But now in the defensive battle of Chu State, what he showed was completely different from what he had learned before. Apart from the fact that the soldiers were not so capable, Chu State's defense methods and morale were not weak at all.
Getting along in different places, Lu Xun himself is not sure that he can turn the situation around in just one day.
Lu Xun cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, when did Chu Kingdom have such a number one figure?"
If they continue to fight, it will be fruitless, and it will cost countless money. They have marched here in a hurry, and they don't have much luggage. Therefore, he has ordered the Qin army to withdraw their troops and return to the camp immediately.
Qin Wuzhou didn't care about Lu Xun. He looked at Jianyang City in the distance, wondering where Chu Qing was and whether he was taking good care of himself. Then Qin Wuzhou quickly laughed at himself. With Chu Qing's temperament, he is definitely standing at the bottom right now. On the front line, advance and retreat with Chu soldiers.
"Let's withdraw our troops and go back to the Qin Kingdom." Qin Wuzhou said sarcastic words on the side, "If you defeat the reincarnation, you will definitely not be able to conquer the Jianyang City at this moment."
Lu Xun's face was ugly, he patted the sand table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you just facing an enemy emperor like this?"
If Lu Xun hadn't been worried that he would squander all of Qin's [-] soldiers here, Qin Wuzhou would have returned to Qin alone.
"Does it feel good to be defeated?" Qin Wuzhou punched Lu Xun, knocking him to the ground, "This is just the beginning."
"You are just a powerless prince," Lu Xun slowly got up from the ground, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "People who have nothing are not worthy of expressing their opinions."
"Come here," Lu Xun said to his attendant, "please invite the sixth prince down, so that he can take care of him."
Qin Wuzhou ignored the attendants coming in from outside the door, he tugged at Lu Xun's collar and said, "In five days, you will withdraw your troops in complete defeat."
Then Qin Wuzhou let Lu Xun go, and left the main tent by himself.
He came to a secluded place, and took out from his sleeve a letter that An Liu handed him before leaving Jianyang City.
This letter was originally written by Chu Qing who did not want to say goodbye to him.
The words in the letter couldn’t be more ordinary. Chu Qing explained in the letter that the king of Chu suddenly passed the throne of Chu to himself.
It's just such an ordinary letter written in a hurry, but after Qin Wuzhou left Jianyang City, it was taken out and read carefully repeatedly. The letter paper was folded and unfolded countless times, leaving deep creases. The corners of the fingers were rubbed extremely rough.
Qin Wuzhou couldn't help himself thinking about Chuqing, and he couldn't stand the days without Chuqing for almost a moment.
