The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 856 0019, Battle of Qin and Chu
Closer to home, after returning to Xianyang, Wang Jian immediately took charge of the army and led 60 Qin troops to the border with Chu.

He is well aware of the right time, place, and harmony between people. The Chu army has just defeated the Qin army and its morale is at its peak. At this time, the Qin army will definitely win the battle.So he let the army set up camp on the border of Qin State, drilled on time every day but never moved to Chu State.

At that time, the Qin State had already destroyed the Three Jin Dynasties, and there were no worries behind it, and there was enough food and grass to fight the war of attrition.Moreover, the King of Qin believed in Wang Jian deeply, and would never interfere with Wang Jian's use of troops.Therefore, Wang Jian had enough time and patience to fight an unlimited war of attrition with the Chu army.

There was no problem for ten days and half a month, and there was no movement after more than a month. The king of Chu could no longer sit still.Although Chu State has the power to fight Qin State, Chu State cannot afford such a costly war of attrition.If this continues for three to five months, perhaps Qin Jun will not need to do anything at all, and Chu State itself will mess up first.

On the day of the stalemate, the king of Chu sent his ministers to the border camp.He urged Xiang Yan to seize the time to fight the Qin army, and asked Xiang Yan to wipe out the Qin army.

At that time, the Chu State was not superior in terms of numbers, and the right time, place and people were not superior.According to the art of war, the best strategy for Chu State at this time is to wait and see what happens.Although they are at a disadvantage in the war of attrition, as long as the main force of the Chu army is still there, Chu has the capital to compete with the Qin army.

It's a pity that the king of Chu didn't have that patience, so he sent people to Daying to urge Xiang Yan three times within seven days.The last decree is a death order. If Xiang Yan doesn't do anything again, the king of Chu will change.

The two armies of Qin and Chu were at loggerheads, and Qin Jun kept holding back his anger, hoping to avenge his dead brother.However, the Chu army won the battle, so their morale was high and their emotions were high, but their morale slowly fell over time.By the end of the second month of the stalemate, the morale of the Chu army had fallen to the bottom.

After all, Xiang Yan couldn't withstand the pressure from the king of Chu. He chose a dark and windy night for a month to let the Chu army go lightly and want to give the Qin army a surprise attack.But he never thought that the reason why Wang Jian was able to win so many battles was because of his care and prudence, which was different from ordinary people.

When Wang Jian sent troops, he must first send out a large number of scouts to the east, west, north and south.The number of scouts in each direction will not be less than two hundred, and they will be in a team of at least three and no more than nine.The number of scouts sent in the direction of the army will be more than twice that of the other three directions, in order to ensure real-time grasp of the enemy's dynamics.

Even if the army sets up camp, the scouts that are scattered will stick to their respective positions.They will move with the army as it moves, and then form an outermost information and warning network for the army.

Just like the night when the Chu army attacked the Qin army, when the Chu army was thirty miles away from the Qin army's promise, they had already been discovered by the Qin army's scouts guarding here.Most of the outermost scouts were in groups of seven, four of them continued to observe, and three of them went to report.One went back to the camp, and the two went to inform the scouts on their left and right flanks.

In the entire Qin army, only Wang Jian can use such a stupid method, but his method is very useful.Even if the opponent knows that there are scouts on their side, it is impossible for them to kill a certain team of scouts without alarming other scouts.

After a long time, Qin Wang Zhao Zheng used Wang Jian's method in other places.Meng Tian also has a lot of research on Wang Jian's method, otherwise Meng Tian would not follow this idea to build beacon towers when he supervised the construction of the Great Wall.

Wang Jian's power is beyond Xiang Yan's imagination, but he also can't imagine how powerful Xiang Jiajun is.There are nearly 60 Chu troops, and the Xiang family army is less than one-third. However, when the main forces of the two sides meet head-to-head, the Xiang family army played a vital role.

The Chu army took the initiative to attack the Qin army's camp, but was unexpectedly discovered by the Qin army in advance.When the Chu army invaded the Qin army's camp, the camp had already become an empty camp.

When Xiang Yan reacted, the main force of the Qin army ambushing on the periphery suddenly rushed out.Then the Qin army agreed to start a big battle with the main force of the Chu army.

Originally, he wanted to surprise Qin Jun, but in the end he was caught by others.The combat effectiveness of the Qin army was comparable to that of the Chu army, but the morale of the Chu army was slightly inferior to that of the Qin army.

After fighting fiercely for more than two hours, Wang Jian finally realized what a tough bone is.Qin's army fought bravely, but they could only draw with Chu.

What a powerful tiger and wolf division, Wang Jian was still thinking about it when he was fighting the Chu army.If this army of tigers and wolves can be owned by Qin, at least half of the time for destroying the six countries can be saved.

He wanted to recruit Xiang Yan to surrender, but it was a pity that Xiang Yan didn't give him this chance at all.Wang Jian told people to stop, hoping to have a private talk with Xiang Yan.This time Xiang Yan led the troops to face the Qin army, which was already the entire strength of the Chu State.But Qin is different. The 60 Qin army is only half of Qin's total strength.

Wang Jian wanted to persuade Xiang Yan to surrender, but a thousand troops were easy to get and a general was hard to find.For a good general like Xiang Yan who is good at fighting, if he can serve Qin, then Qin will definitely be in every position.

Xiang Yan did not explicitly reject Wang Jian, which made Wang Jian feel hopeful.But he later realized that Xiang Yan was actually delaying time with him at that time.He couldn't let Qin and Chu decide the outcome. The morale of the Chu army was low this time, and if the fight continued, it would be defeated sooner or later.

So he chose to retreat and try to let the Chu army withdraw from the battlefield.The green hills left behind are not afraid of lack of firewood.As long as he can distance himself from Qin Jun, he is confident that he can make a comeback and fight Qin Jun in the future.

Before Xiang Yan's little calculation was finished, Wang Jian had already discovered his intention.The Chu army retreated in an orderly manner, and then distanced themselves from the Qin army as quickly as possible.

Of course, Wang Jian would not let go of this good opportunity. Even if the Chu army did not retreat, he would still have the confidence to destroy them, not to mention that they were starting to retreat now.

For soldiers, retreat means that they have lost.If you lose, you will naturally be powerless to fight back. The only thing you can do is to run for your life and see who runs faster.

In this kind of time when running slowly is about to lose your life, isn't that running faster than a rabbit.They simply forgot what Xiang Yan told them before, and no one cared if the team was in chaos.

The retreat speed of the Chu army is really not blown out, Xiang Yan left some people to resist the pursuit of the Qin army.Leading most of the people to retreat to the hinterland of Chu State, he is very familiar with the terrain in this area.As long as the army can retreat into the mountains, even a million Qin troops can't do anything to them.

If someone retreats, someone must sacrifice. It's not that Xiang Yan doesn't show loyalty, but that he, as the general, can't act on his will.If he stayed to stop the Qin army, what would the remaining soldiers of the Chu army do.
