I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 305: Qin and Chu go to war; Ying Lou returns to Mount Zhongnan to explore the secrets of national destiny

Looking at the Chu army dozens of miles away, which was lined up in neat formation and with solemn appearance, Jin Chan was not disturbed at all. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

It has to be said that the vastness of the Central Plains cannot be seen or measured by the eyes or feet.

Let’s just talk about tea.

There are no less than a dozen different flavors in Qin, Tang and Han.

"General, do you need some soldiers?"

Today, Su Nan and several others who joined the Jin family army in the first wave have already joined the ranks of the tens of thousands of generals.

It is a material that can be built.

"No need, just leave everything to Meng Wu."

Jin Chan looked ahead and spoke.

A competition of national strength and military power.

This is the original form of national war.

This time when Qin and Chu were at war, Jin Chan not only wanted to make sure Xiang Yu could not find any excuse for failure.

We must also tell everyone in the world that the Qin State has unified the Central Plains and no one can influence it.

As the scorching sun hung high in the sky, it was like a burning fireball, mercilessly scorching the city of Runing below.

The noon bell had just struck.

The word "kill" resounded throughout the world.

The huge Chu army was seen dividing into five groups and rushing towards Runing City.

Three of them confronted the Qin army head-on.

The other two routes marched towards the periphery and then went straight to the east and west gates.

Xiang Yu rode his black horse and led the army alone.

Behind him, Yu Wei and Zhongli Mei attacked on the left, while Long Qi, Ying Bu and Yu Ziqi attacked on the right.

As for the eastern and western routes, they were led by Jing Que and Zhao Yang, each with siege equipment and 80,000 soldiers.

"Crossbowmen, three volleys!"

"The cavalry will surround the enemy with two columns and break up their formation."

"Meng Tian, ​​Yang Ruihe, cut off the routes for the enemy's left and right wings to join the main army."

Although Meng Wu is a brave and aggressive man, he is very rational when it comes to fighting.

Moreover, his mastery of the tactics of war was almost as good as Bai Qi, who never lost a battle in his life.

As the herald standing on the tower waved the military flag.

I saw that the Qin army formation also started to move.

on the plains.

Looking down from the sky.

The armies of Qin and Chu were like the confluence of Jing and Wei, two rivers of different colors colliding with each other. Neither side would give in, and neither could advance even a bit.

The Qin army's arrows covered the sky like locusts, and the dense swarms flashed coldly in the sunlight.

The soldiers of the Chu army raised their shields, and the rain of arrows hit the shields, making a sound like heavy rain hitting iron sheets.

Each sound was accompanied by painful groans from the soldiers behind their shields.

Some arrows penetrated the shields and pierced deeply into the soldiers' bodies. Blood gushed out from the wounds like fountains, dyeing the ground beneath their feet red.

After three rounds of salvos.

The two armies officially clashed.

The Chu army swung their long swords, and every time they fell, a splash of blood was created. The Qin people's heads were chopped off, and the blood rushed into the sky like a column, spraying on the surrounding soldiers.

The Qin army's spears stabbed out as quickly as poisonous snakes, piercing the Chu people's chests, and their internal organs were scattered on the ground. The bloody smell was nauseating.

The soldiers of both sides fought frantically on the brink of death, their eyes filled with hatred and determination.

Someone fell every second, and the bodies soon piled up like a mountain.

Some soldiers who were cut in half still hugged the enemy tightly and bit the enemy's calves with their teeth before they died.

There was also a person whose eye was pierced by a spear. He was dead, but the long sword in his hand was still swinging down.

On the battlefield, the sounds of shouting, screaming, and weapons clashing were intertwined.

Although the Chu army had the advantage in numbers.

But the Qin people were more courageous.

For a moment, they were evenly matched.

soon.

The clash between generals pushed the first day of the war to its climax.

I saw Meng Wu and Xiang Yu fighting each other.

One is a proud overlord, the other is a warmongering madman who has guarded the Central Plains and the Western Regions for many years.

And the other two sides.

Although Meng Tian was not at a disadvantage when facing Yu Wei and Zhongli Mei, he could not gain any advantage either.

As for Yang Ruihe, although he was an old veteran, as someone who had followed Bai Qi, how could he be stumped by three kids?

On the city wall at this time.

Jin Chan looked at the Chu army attacking the city from the east and west gates, and just stood up from his chair calmly.

Then he mounted the white dragon horse beside him, pulled out the fish belly from his waist, and took on the responsibility of defending the city alone.

Gradually.

The sky was dyed dark red by the smoke from the battlefield, as if it was soaked in blood.

The sun slowly set in the bloody scene, and its afterglow cast a shadow on this brutal battlefield.

As the horn sounded, the troops were retreating.

The survivors then breathed a sigh of relief and retreated towards their respective camps.

I started cooking and relaxed for a short while.

On the first day alone, the total number of casualties on both sides reached 100,000.

And the most surprising person in today's battle was Meng Wu.

He was already no match for Xiang Yu, but after putting on the bronze mask from the Western Regions, he burst out with an aura that did not belong to the people of the Central Plains.

For a moment, he was able to fight to a draw with the Overlord Xiang Yu who was in the state of double pupils.

the next day.

Xiang Yu changed the deployment of troops yesterday.

Jing Que and Zhao Yang, who were originally going to attack Runing City, were recalled.

He was ordered to lead an army of 200,000 to capture the second city where the Qin army was weakly guarded by Meng Yi, Wang Ben and Li Xin.

The main army moved to the north of Runing City, with the main purpose of cutting off the Qin army's support and secondarily charging the enemy.

He even gave an order that if the Qin army did not charge, they would just challenge in front of the camp.

As for the troops in the seven cities in the rear and the Chu troops that continued to cross the river, Yu Wei returned to command and assign them.

Some came to support the first battlefield, while others took a detour to the rear to cut off their food supplies and capture the third city.

Then they surrounded the main Qin army around Runing City.

Recreate the food crisis at Hangu Pass that day.

the other side.

Xiaoluoyang, the third city at the back, received the military intelligence from the front line from Jinchan.

He immediately issued a military order to support the second city to Yingdang, Ying Ji, Zhu Hai and Zhuan Zhu, who had come to support him a few days ago.

These four people were easy to talk to and did not question Xiao Luoyang's age and gender.

Zhu Hai, a rough man, just teased: "This girl is so amazing, why not marry the king and become a queen!"

that's it.

The armies of Qin and Chu entered into a protracted war in the southern border of the former Han Dynasty, which was an open confrontation but also had undercurrents.

The two sides repeatedly charged, retreated, besieged, and cursed each other.

Until the twentieth day.

The Qin army in the second city suddenly abandoned the city and retreated to the rear to defend the third city.

All the Qin troops outside Runing City also retreated back into the city and crowded into the narrow streets.

"Foolish, Jin Chan, you will pay the price of defeat for your stupidity!"

In the Chu army camp.

Xiang Yu looked at the military intelligence coming to him and revealed a long-lost smile.

The current situation: Yu Wei has already captured the second city, completely surrounded Runing City, and even cut off the Qin army's food supply from the third city.

"General, the battle against Qin is already a foregone conclusion. Outside Runing City, our forces are far superior to the Qin army. As long as we surround them without fighting, within two months, before the Cold Clothes Festival, the Qin army will surely run out of food and grass, and they will be defeated in one battle."

"Even if Jin Chan can finally survive, with millions of Qin soldiers killed, the Qin State will eventually be destroyed."

"And as for the three cities of Lin, Le, and Liang that were lost, according to General Dou Yujiang, the Qin army is now short of troops and there is no one to stop them along the way. It only takes him a month to take them all back and march to Hangu Pass to put pressure on Xianyang."

Zhongli Mei was always afraid of Jin Chan and did not dare to suggest a direct attack on the city. He only wanted to besiege the city and consume Qin's military strength.

"Well, let's do it like this!"

Although Xiang Yu was arrogant, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​defeating Jin Chan head-on.

At this moment, he became more like a general.

Put victory in the war first.

As for the rematch with Jin Chan, it took place after the destruction of Qin.

the other side.

Inside Runing City.

Jin Chan picked up the secret letter in his hand and smiled as well.

"Brother Jin, is this a secret letter from General Wang Jian?"

Meng Tian asked curiously.

Since before the war began.

Wang Jian led an army of 30,000, carrying a large amount of food and fodder, and left the camp in the dark under the moonlight.

And only Jin Chan knew where he was going.

"It was sent by Wang Jian. In his letter, he said that all the Chu troops have crossed the river. There are less than a thousand Chu troops guarding the crossing on the north bank of the Huai River. They can move at any time."

Jin Chan closed the envelope and answered Meng Tian's question.

"action?"

"The final battle will be before the twelfth lunar month, and Wang Jian will burn all the ships of the Chu army one month later. In this battle, I only plan to let Xiang Yu return to Chu. As for the other Chu people, let them stay here!"

Jin Chan smiled and explained to the crowd who were looking puzzled.

"Brother Jin,"

Meng Tian paused, a look of worry on his face.

At this moment, he really didn't want to pour a basin of cold water on him, but if Jin Chan really ignored this fatal mistake, then it would be a fatal problem.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Brother Jin, the second city has been occupied by the Chu army led by Yu Wei. I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until the Cold Clothes Festival, let alone the twelfth lunar month."

"Ha ha!"

Jin Chan laughed a few times when he heard this.

"How could I not know about this? As for the food and fodder, I have already asked Luoyang to prepare it."

"But Brother Jin, Xiang Yu has already blocked all the roads, so food and fodder can't be delivered to Runing City at all!"

Not only Meng Tian was puzzled, even Meng Wu and Yang Ruihe didn't understand why Jin Chan could be so confused.

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as we have it, we won't have any problems getting food from Xianyang, let alone the third city."

After Jin Chan finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door, pointing at Bai Longju who was drinking and eating meat in the yard.

"it?"

"Of course it is!"

How could Shi Meiyu, a guy who couldn't even drag 50,000 war horses and pulled them back to Xianyang alone, be unable to pull a mere amount of food and fodder?

"Everything Xiang Yu did was to trap us in Runing City and recreate the crisis between Qi and Chu at Hangu Pass. How could I not know this?"

Jin Chan came to Bai Longju, patted his fat butt, and spoke to everyone.

"Boy, do you really treat me like a donkey? I won't do it!"

Bai Longju glanced at Jin Chan and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"When we return to Xianyang, I will move all the aged wines in the palace to your house."

Although Jin Chan knew that Bai Longju was just talking, he still had to give the benefits.

"That's not impossible."

After the huge horse eye rolled around in the eye socket, Bai Longju pretended to be very reluctant and agreed "readily".

At this time, the Qinling Mountains are thousands of miles away.

Ying Lou’s arrangements at the Black Ice Terrace have already reached the top of the main peak of the Qinling Mountains in Zhongnan.

"All of you please leave. As long as I don't speak, no one is allowed to come within a hundred steps of here."

The temperature at the top of the mountain is not very high.

But unlike the last time he donated national fortune, Ying Lou, who climbed to the top of Mount Zhongnan for the second time, was not wearing luxurious black dragon robe, nor did he wear a crown with tassels on his head.

He was just wearing an ordinary black robe.

Her long hair was not tied up, but was left hanging down her back.

Walk up step by step along the steps of the Circular Mound until you reach the top, which is the highest point of Mount Zhongnan.

Ying Lou stopped.

suck~
Call ~
He closed his eyes and took a long breath, then Ying Lou ripped open his shirt, exposing the Black Water Dragon Seal embedded in his chest.

"The destiny of a nation that was born before the Nine-sided Heavenly Palace and shared the same roots with the Central Plains, is it really what I thought it would be?"

Mobilize a little of the national fortune and donate it on the Circular Mound.

Ying Lou was seen stepping on the black jade floor tile in the middle, which was already covered with cracks.

With a loud bang.

The Circular Mound collapsed completely.

But Su Qiji and his group on the Black Ice Platform in the distance didn't even look back.

Instead, he obeyed Ying Lou's royal order and stood where he was.

"It leads directly into the Qinling Mountains. According to records, no less than a hundred people have entered, but none of them have returned."

Ying Lou put his hands behind his back, narrowed his sharp eyes and looked straight ahead.

On the top of Mount Zhongnan, where the Circular Mound had originally stood, a huge deep hole with a diameter of about three meters suddenly appeared.

It is like the gaping mouth of a mountain range, so deep that it seems to have no end.

Endless darkness spread wantonly inside, like a night sky without stars or the bright moon, ruthlessly swallowing up all light sources.

Ying Lou stood at the edge of the cave and looked down. His sight seemed to fall into nothingness. The darkness was as thick as real ink, tightly filling every inch of space.

A feeling that the interior of the Qinling Mountains is actually hollow suddenly arose in my heart.

thump, thump, thump
An extremely faint and irregular sound, like a heartbeat, came from the deepest part of the cave.

Then, there was a gasp of panting.

And every time he took a breath, the surrounding mountains and trees seemed to shake.

"The dragon vein of Daqin is indeed the same as the Dragon Gate. No, it seems to be even more magnificent than the Dragon Gate."

Ying Lou whispered to himself, not seeming to be afraid at all when facing the unknown in the cave.

In order to verify my conjecture.

Without any hesitation, Ying Lou pulled out the Black Water Dragon Seal from his chest, placed it in his palm, and looked down at the cave with contempt.

"The virtue of Qin is bright, the power of Qin is mighty, wherever people go, they all submit to it, and wherever they see, it is all our Qin land!"

"When the king raises his army, sharpen my spears and halberds!"

"When the king raises his army, he will repair my spears and halberds!"

"The king is about to raise an army, so prepare our armor and weapons!"

"Old Qin, you will not stop fighting until your blood runs dry and you die."

Ying Lou began to recite softly an ancient ballad from the Qin State.

The Black Water Dragon Seal on his palm flickered and glowed.

All of a sudden.

Three thousand miles of Zhongnan, all things come into spring.

Three thousand miles of Wangshun, the summer is hot.

Three thousand miles of Taibai Mountain is covered with snow.

The other twenty-seven mountain ranges are filled with the chill of autumn winds.

In the Qinling Mountains, the earth shook and huge rocks fell.

Rose from the ground.
