Singing in the dark night.
That is the voice of hometown.
The army is not allowed to sing the songs of their hometown on the battlefield. For most non-commissioned officers, this is disempowering.
So this kind of singing often comes from the enemy.
A deadly silence enveloped the camp of the Chu Army in Yangshan County, and occasionally there would be cries in some of the peripheral civilian camps.
It's already summer.
The battlefield in Yangshan County began to become a little hot and humid, and some diseases caused by the lack of clean water began to prevail, and people died every day due to lack of medicine.
However, no matter for the Chu army or the Qin army, the most scarce thing is food.
As early as half a month ago, the Chu army had lost the supply in the rear. The fall of Chudu was accompanied by the news that most of the food delivery routes were cut off to the frontier army.
The army of the Great Chu Dynasty did not intend to fight a protracted war on the front line, so they quickly ran out of food and grass.
In fact, Qin Jun's situation is equally difficult.
Because the Qin army has been retreating in front, losing most of its supplies. When the full-scale counterattack started more than ten days ago, most of the Qin army was extremely short of combat weapons and food, and often faced the Chu army's talisman weapons, and had to pay a heavy price of casualties.
In the past ten days of confrontation, the Qin army still failed to counterattack and suffered many defeats.
The Chu army barely survived by capturing the grain, grass and war horses of the Qin army.
The problem, however, is that the moods of the two parties are different.
In the past, no matter how difficult the Chu army was, as long as the Qin army was not their opponent, they could even pursue them to the depths of the Great Qin Dynasty and continue fighting like this.
Yet they are now alone.
No matter how distressed the Qin army was, they all had continuous reinforcements.
This kind of consumption will eventually exhaust all the Chu troops on this border.
One side is annihilating the remnant enemy.
One side is struggling desperately.
…
In the darkness, Zhao Xiangfei did not fall asleep. She stood under a banner in front of the camp, listening to those familiar singing voices in the distance, thinking in her heart that such voices might not be heard for a long time in the future.
There were footsteps.
Xiang Yan arrived not far in front of her and bowed in salute.
"Any news about Yan?" She asked normally.
Xiang Yan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Emperor Yan sent troops to occupy the thirteen cities between Tianmen Pass and Yanjing, and the excuse was to help us send troops to stop Qin."
"It's as we expected." Zhao Xiangfei didn't get angry, but smiled instead, "It's the same if it's me. If we don't take the opportunity to carve up, why not send an army to attack Qin? If we don't make it right, we will immediately fall into Qin Qi's trap." Flank attack. It’s better to take advantage of the opportunity.”
Xiang Yan looked at her eyes that were still bright and moving in the night, and then said: "The news has come from Yinshan Mountain. The siege and killing nine dead silkworms failed. Tang Mei and the remnants have broken through Yinshan Mountain and defected to Wuzhi."
"This is the best news. I didn't even kill Nine Dead Silkworms like this. Zheng Xiu must be more sleepless than me." Zhao Xiangfei shook her head, but she didn't have much surprised expression. There are really many masters."
Xiang Yan smiled wryly.
He thought to himself that there were more than a few.
Many unknown, well-known, and seven-level masters who died on that battlefield, and many people in the world thought they were dead, even if they were still far away from the Changling battle back then, they may have surpassed the absolute record in the history books. Most famous battles.
"Five out of ten masters in the world will go, and Qin Chu will go the most. In the future, there will be more masters in Yan and Qi, and this may be the reason why Da Qi accepts the cooperation with Zheng Xiu and Yan readily accepts the current situation." Xiang Yan smiled wryly and said: " Of course, Qi is willing to accept Qin's self-defeating killing situation, and whether those people in Bashan Sword Field will die or not, for them, they are still Qin people."
"Yan Xinran is impossible." Concubine Zhao Xiang said indifferently, "Qi will betray us, and naturally he will betray them too. With wolves by his side, who can sleep peacefully. It's just that they seem to be at odds, but in the future they will have their own ghosts. It's hard to get together It is inevitable that swordsmen will meet each other."
Xiang Yan sighed.
He is a famous general of Da Chu.
Especially when Li Mu is gone, he and Tang Mo are probably the best generals in Dachu, so they have a unique vision.
Although Zheng Xiu's move seriously hurt himself, and the advantage of practitioners in the Great Qin Dynasty may be gone forever, but because of this, it completely provoked the dispute between Yan and Qi, making it difficult for Yan and Qi to join forces. In his opinion, this deal, But it is still only profitable.
But that is a very distant thing after all, and what is close at hand now is where the remaining 700,000 troops here should go.
These good children who have lost their homeland and relatives, besides dying here, do they have any other choice
What are those people in Bashan Sword Field doing
As if God heard the resentment and call in his heart, at this moment, a general rushed to him and handed him a secret note.
Xiang Yan quickly took it apart, and after just a glance, he was a little surprised.
"Lin Zhujiu told us to go east, to Jiaodong County."
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down as much as possible, looked at Zhao Xiangfei and said, "He said they would try to control Jiaodong County."
Zhao Xiangfei smiled slightly, seemed to be a little more relaxed, and said: "Then we will go."
Xiang Yan hesitated.
Because he is very aware of the difference between some words in it, there is a big difference between trying to control and being able to control.
What's more, from Yangshan County to Jiaodong County, you will pass through Nanquan counties along the way.
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Zhao Xiangfei smiled brighter.
She knew where his hesitation came from.
The counties of Nanquan were the gathering places of the eastern gatekeepers of the Great Chu Dynasty. Those gentry were once the most opposed to her rule. The most important thing was that they had many powerful practitioners, disciples and private troops. Even after Lord Liling took the throne, he launched several plots to assassinate Lord Liling and her.
It is unrealistic in the eyes of any general to go through there to Jiaodong County. It is easy to be chased by the Qin army and be attacked by the enemy when the front is blocked.
"In the past, they thought that I was not enough for being a girl, and that I was overbearing and stealing the country. Now that I am fleeing with Chu people, it depends on their attitude." Zhao Xiangfei took a deep breath, letting her sense of strength regain Filling her tired body, she continued: "And besides the Bashan Sword Field, is there any ally we can trust?"
"Never underestimate the ability of Bashan Sword Field."
"Since Lin Zhuojiu said that he would try to control Jiaodong County, that would be a good choice for us."
