Chapter 163 Capture of Ancheng, decisive battle with Lin Shihong of the Great Chu, Baishu Ridge
Ancheng is similar to Jiangyin City in terms of prosperity and size. It is located three hundred miles east of Jiangyin City, with mountains on one side and mountains on the other. The canal stretches into the distance.
The person guarding Ancheng was Lin Shihong's general Wang Jiyao.
At this moment, Wang Jiyao looked at the densely packed warships on the canal on the left side of the city, and the dense phalanx of soldiers and horses standing five miles away from the city on the right. He felt his scalp numb and his heart sinking.
Ancheng is the last barrier to Yuzhang City, the capital of the Chu Empire. If Ancheng is broken, the Qin army will march straight in that day, directly to Yuzhang!
but.
Fortunately, Marshal Qin Shuang of the Tianqin Army was not seen in front of these soldiers and horses.
He had already heard that the magic sword Qin Shuang used a flying knife to blast through the city gate of Jiangdu. It was very terrifying. If Qin Shuang came and slashed the city gate, Ancheng would definitely not be able to defend it.
He has sent a message to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to send reinforcements.
“Report!”
At this moment, a sergeant came to report with a respectful look. "General Wang, Your Majesty has led 80,000 soldiers and horses to march personally! It's fifty miles away from here!"
"Marching in person!"
Hearing the spies' report, Wang Jiyao suddenly became confident. He drank and said in a deep voice. "Soldiers, Your Majesty has already marched on a personal expedition, not far from here!"
"What? Your Majesty has personally marched on a expedition?!"
"With Your Majesty coming here to guard, the Tianqin Army will definitely fail without success!" Go back!”
"."
When I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Chu was marching in person, many soldiers guarding Ancheng cheered and encouraged.
At this moment.
Suddenly, under the moat and under the suspension bridge, a burly figure rushed out of the water. He waved his hand, and suddenly, three blue lights shot at the iron chains of the city gate and the suspension bridge!
“Boom!”
The ground shook, and the thick and solid Ancheng city gate exploded under the blue light, turning into countless sawdust and shooting out in all directions!
Smoke and dust are everywhere, and gravel is flying!
The other two blue lights were shot at the iron chains of the suspension bridge!
With a rumble, the suspension bridge fell and became a bridge connecting the city gate and the outside of the city!
“The city gate was blown up? The flying knife Qin Shuang is here?!”
"This"
Wang Jiyao looked at the figure flying out of the moat, and fired three swords with his hand. The suspension bridge fell immediately, and there was a huge noise under the city gate. He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. Just now he was grateful for the magic sword. Qin Shuang didn't come.
Unexpectedly, he sneaked into the moat, avoided the archers, and blew up the city gate.
The city gate was broken.
How can we hold on to this?
at this time.
Not only was Wang Jiyao stunned, but the soldiers guarding An City also looked at the commander-in-chief Wang Jiyao with fear and hesitation in their eyes. Everyone knew that the magic sword Qin Shuang was flying to blow up the city gate. If you continue to resist, your life will be in vain.
“Kill! Kill!”
“Marshal Qin has broken open the city gate, rush for me!”
“The one who surrenders will not be killed! The one who surrenders will not be killed! ”
"."
At this time, in front of the east gate, Li Jing, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Zuo Xiaoyou and many other generals took the lead and rushed towards the fallen suspension bridge. The loud shouts of killing swept into the city!
“That’s it, the situation is over, let’s all surrender!”
Wang Jiyao looked at the soldiers under his command and sighed.
Dropped the sword in his hand.
The city gate was breached and he knew he couldn't hold it, so why did he waste his men's lives?
Anseong, the school grounds in the city.
Qin Shuang was dressed in green clothes and stood on the high platform of the school ground with a long knife on his back. Below him were Xu Xingzhi, Chang Lingchun, Li Jing, Liu Yong, Pei Shifeng, Tu Hongzhen, Ding Zhen, Yun Yuzhen, You Qiuyan, and Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and other more than 30 generals, as well as Qin Rui Shi, the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, and many other troops.
"Generals, Lin Shihong is leading his troops to rescue Ancheng. It is a great opportunity for us to ambush him!"
Qin Shuang glanced at many of His Highness's generals and spoke in a deep voice. "Li Jing!"
"Marshal, my subordinates are here!"
Li Jing, dressed in silver armor, bowed forward and obeyed the order.
"You lead ten thousand troops and go to Baishu Ridge to ambush!"
Qin Shuang said in a deep voice.
Baishuling is a mountain ridge more than 20 miles away from Ancheng. There are many jungles. Lin Shihong's troops of Chu must have to pass through here if they want to rush to aid Ancheng.
"Yes, Marshal!"
Li Jing respectfully accepted the order and left.
"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, you lead three thousand troops to ambush five miles to the left of Baishu Ridge!" "Liu Yong, you lead four thousand people of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation to five miles to the right of Baishu Ridge! ambush! "
"Chang Lingchun, Pei Shifeng, Tu Hongzhen, you lead two thousand Qin Rui soldiers to ambush near Baishu Ridge, waiting for an opportunity to kill!"
"."
Qin Shuang looked at the many generals under his command and spoke in a deep voice.
“Yes! Marshal!”
“Yes, Marshal!”
“.”
After receiving Qin Shuang's order, many generals immediately bowed out of the palace, ordered their troops and horses and left.
"Commander Xu, Ancheng's side is up to you!"
Qin Shuang looked at Xu Xingzhi, the right military counselor in the hall, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Marshal!"
Xu Xingzhi clasped his fists respectfully at Qin Shuang.
"Well, this time, Lin Shihong's Chu army must be defeated!"
Qin Shuang looked in the direction of Cypress Ridge in the distance and said solemnly.
This time, Qin Shuang sent out six troops to ambush Lin Shihong on the way forward, and he led the remaining 30,000 people to attack Lin Shihong head-on. As long as Da Chu was destroyed, then The territorial power of the Tian Qin Army will expand again!
Distance to Cypress Ridge.
Eight miles away.
The armor was bright and the soldiers and horses were densely packed, pulling a long queue along the road towards Ancheng.
In front of the soldiers and horses, surrounded by many generals with bright armor, a golden dragon chariot with six carriages slowly moved forward.
Lin Shihong, dressed in gold armor and with a gold sword hanging on his waist, looked at Ancheng in the distance with a solemn gaze.
"Report! Your Majesty! Ancheng has been captured by the Tianqin Army!"
"Qin Shuang, Marshal of the Tianqin Army, led about 30,000 troops and horses, coming towards us!"
>
At this moment, a spy on a fast horse galloped over. The spy rolled off his horse and bowed to report.
"What? Ancheng fell?"
Hearing the spy's report, Lin Shihong's eyes suddenly showed a look of disbelief.
After Jiangyin City fell, he sent 10,000 troops to Wang Jiyao to guard An City. Why did it fall so quickly?
Ancheng has fallen, and there is no point in rushing to rescue!
"Your Majesty, it's Qin Shuang, the magic sword of the Tian Qin Army, who breaks the city with his flying knife, and the Tian Qin Army marches straight in!"
The spy spoke again.
"Flying knives break the city! Flying knives again!"
Hearing this, Lin Shihong immediately remembered the rumors of Qin Shuang taking Jiangdu and Danyang, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
If Qin Shuang uses this method to deal with his Yu Zhang, how can he stop it?
Apart from blocking it with archers, there is basically no way to break his flying knife!
"Commander Cui, Qin Shuang is coming towards us with 30,000 troops and horses. Do you have a good strategy to destroy the enemy?"
Lin Shihong looked at Cui Jixiu, the military counselor beside him, and asked.
"Your Majesty, Ancheng has been lost. Qin Shuang is coming with his troops to kill us. Our army has 80,000 people. I suggest that your Majesty set up a battle formation and fight to the death with Qin Shuang's Tianqin Army!"< br>
Cui Jixiu thought of the terror of Qin Shuang's flying knife, and a hint of fear and gloom flashed in his eyes.
He had become enemies with Qin Shuang. If he hadn't escaped early several times, the grass on the grave would have been more than a foot tall!
He knew it in his heart.
With his strength, if he meets Qin Shuang, he will definitely die!
The only thing that can kill Qin Shuang is a large number of archers. Fighting alone, no one in Chu can stop Qin Shuang's flying knife!
As far as he knows.
Qin Shuang led 60,000 people here this time, including 10,000 naval troops, which is equivalent to only 50,000 soldiers and horses. There are 80,000 people on his side. If he sets up a good battle formation and annihilates the 50,000 Tianqin Army, It’s not impossible!
"Okay!"
Lin Shihong took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice. "Let's fight the Tianqin Army right here! To avoid future troubles!"
He knew it in his heart.
If the Tian Qin army is not dealt with.
He will be attacked from both sides!
There must be a battle between Da Chu and Tian Qin!
