When the Chu army commander Xiang Yan saw that the Qin army had changed its direction of advance and was advancing deep into the enemy's territory alone, he immediately led the main force of the Chu army to pursue the Qin army at Tangxi, dealing a heavy blow to the Qin army.
But if that were the case, the Qin army would not have been defeated so thoroughly. But at the same time, Changping Jun Xiong Qi, who was in Chen Ying, also rose up against Qin, cutting off the Qin army's retreat and supplies, causing the Qin army to be defeated. This was a major setback in Qin's war of unification.
Li Xin's failure made King Zheng of Qin begin to reflect on his previous behavior. After realizing his mistakes, Ying Zheng became more determined to destroy the State of Chu.
In order to destroy the State of Chu, King Zheng of Qin went to Wang Jian's hometown, Pingyang, and invited Wang Jian to be the commander-in-chief of the Qin army. However, Wang Jian declined on the grounds of poor health. King Zheng of Qin insisted on inviting him to go to the army and asked him if he had any requirements.
Wang Jian then put forward his own conditions: "If the king must use me, he must have 600,000 men."
King Zheng of Qin agreed, and Wang Jian then replaced Li Xin as the commander-in-chief of the Qin army's attack on Chu, leading an army of 600,000 to fight against Chu. King Zheng of Qin personally escorted Wang Jian to the bank of the Ba River.
In order to eliminate the King of Qin's suspicion and concerns about him, Wang Jian pretended to be greedy for money and asked King Zheng of Qin to give him more land and treasures. King Zheng of Qin agreed to his request, and Wang Jian led his troops east.
Based on his long combat experience, Wang Jian knew that both the Chu and Zhao armies had strong fighting wills and were powerful armies that could both fight and defend. In addition, the Chu army had won a great victory before, and at this moment their morale was high and their fighting spirit was high.
Facing such an enemy, Wang Jian did not dare to underestimate the enemy. Any carelessness would affect the entire course of the war. Therefore, after entering the State of Chu, Wang Jian ordered his troops to build strong fortifications in the Pingyu area and not to go out to fight.
Faced with the Qin army's massive eastward advance, Chu also concentrated all its forces to fight back. At that time, Qin had already destroyed the Three Jins and had no worries. It had enough manpower and material resources to provide large-scale support and fight a protracted war.
However, the State of Chu was quite backward in terms of military, politics, and economic strength, and was unable to persist for long. As a result, today's State of Chu has fallen into the same situation as the State of Zhao in the past.
That is, the situation on the battlefield fell into a stalemate, but their side did not have enough strength to continue supporting the war. However, the Zhao State still had Zhao Kuo available, but today the Chu State only has Xiang Yan to rely on.
After being reprimanded by the King of Chu, Xiang Yan failed to withstand the pressure and had to attack the Qin army. However, they could neither break through the Qin army's camp nor lure the Qin army out. Xiang Yan had no choice but to lead his troops eastward.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jian immediately ordered his entire army to pursue the Chu army. The Chu army was blocked by the Wo River. The two sides fought, but Xiang Yan ultimately did not have the desperate tactics of his grandson Xiang Yu, so the Chu army was immediately defeated and fled eastward.
Wang Jian ignored Xiang Yan's fleeing army and led his troops directly to attack the Chu capital Shouchun. The Chu King Xiong Fuchu was captured. Seeing this, Xiang Yan, who was leading his troops outside, did not sit and wait for death, but immediately supported Changping Jun Xiong Qi as king. However, he also suffered a miserable defeat soon after.
After Changping Jun was defeated and killed, the State of Chu was completely destroyed. From the time when King Cheng of Zhou appointed the leader of the Chu people, Xiong Yi, as Viscount, to the time when the State of Chu was destroyed in 223 BC, it lasted for more than 800 years and had 43 monarchs, 26 of whom were kings.
[Snoring...] A sound woke Ying Mengze from his thoughts. It was Su Yi chasing a giant squid. The huge body and chaotic tentacles made Ying Mengze horrified.
She could even imagine herself being entangled in this thing and being toyed with in various erotic scenes.
If Shen Yuelan were here, she would definitely scold them for reading too many pornographic novels. The giant squid will only swallow you in one gulp and has no interest in flirting with a little Karami like you.
Chapter 275: Death of Su Xin
At the moment, the giant squid really had no interest in those things. It was running for its life. It thought it was just a piece of food that was too small to be any smaller, but it didn't expect that this little thing was so powerful that it almost chopped it apart.
Why does this scene seem so familiar? I've never encountered this before. It's really strange.
The giant squid's thoughts were fleeting, and before it could react, its tiny brain core and its huge body were split in two by Su Yi, and once again became a meal for Shen Yuelan and others.
[Gurgle gurgle... Sister Suyi, is it over? You are so awesome. ]
[Huh? What are you talking about? Don't talk with your mouth in the sea, you can't hear me. Okay, we got the food, it's time to go up. Really, I must have killed this guy before, why is it so easy to chop it up.]
A few months passed, and during this time, life in the fishing village was peaceful and comfortable, but Shen Yuelan always had a bad feeling in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.
Looking at the beauties gathered together and playing, Shen Yuelan's somewhat worried heart was instantly relieved. It was really pleasing to the eyes. Shen Yuelan did not take the previous thoughts to heart. After all, enjoying the present moment was the most important thing.
Compared with Shen Yuelan and others, the situation of King Yan and his son was much worse. After Jing Ke's assassination attempt on Qin failed, the Qin army's horn sounded as expected. King Yan was frightened and fled the city without any resistance.
Like a stray dog, Shen Yuelan was chased to Liaodong by the Qin army. She watched everything coldly. The State of Yan had arrived, and it seemed like it was time to get to work.
Because the Liaodong Mint of Yan State was established in a hurry, basically everyone who was a local was accepted. Shen Yuelan and others were also able to place spies in various major coin mints in advance.
Just as Shen Yuelan was squatting in the small fishing village with a smug look on her face, ready to wait and see, one of her spies suddenly lost contact. Shen Yuelan's heart skipped a beat, because there was a problem with the coin mint in Xiangping City, the county seat of Liaodong County in Yan State.
It's bad. The enemy is stronger than expected. One or two Song imperial guards can't handle it. This is not right. Yihua Qian just appeared. How can he be so strong? Is the intelligence wrong?
Shen Yuelan would not have known this until she checked. Once she checked, she was furious. The theory that the Yan State's Yihua coins originated from King Xi of Yan's retreat to Liaodong was totally untenable, because they were unearthed in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, and even Shandong in later generations.
How could such a large amount be minted in four years? In other words, there is no clear conclusion on the research of Yihua money. She was deceived! She lost the intelligence first.
But one thing was clear at this moment, that is, something must have gone wrong in Xiangping City, and she had to go and check it out.
The one who was faster than Shen Yuelan was Su Xin. The area she was responsible for monitoring was near Xiangping City, so after learning that something happened there, she immediately took people there.
But the situation there was much more serious than Su Xin had imagined. When she arrived, Xiangping City had already become a ghost town. From the King of Yan to the servants, no one survived.
The culprit of this massacre had no intention of covering up. She was sitting openly on the pile of corpses, carefully looking at Prince Dan's head.
Compared with Su Xin's conservative green outfit, this transformed demon was obviously much more open, with her slender white legs exposed, and the tattered red skirt barely covering her thighs.
The upper body was even more ragged, with only a few pieces of cloth left, helplessly covering her erect breasts. Her proud figure made Su Xin want to curse.
[Tsk, what a shameless wild demon, daring to wander around naked outside, aren't you afraid of being seen? ]
[Hehe, thank you for your concern, it's okay, everyone who has seen my body is dead, and you are no exception. ]
[Ah, the smell on your body is so good, you must be a kind person, right? Ah, this smell is so sweet, I can't help but want to devour you. ]
Before he could finish speaking, the witch took advantage of Su Xin's slow reaction and took the initiative to attack, intending to end the battle quickly and eat Su Xin immediately. She was not stupid and naturally knew that villains die because of talking too much.
The accompanying Song imperial guards were also unambiguous upon seeing this. They immediately rushed to Su Xin, deployed their battle formation, and tried to stop her. However, the strength of that demon was far beyond everyone's imagination. Most of the Song imperial guards were killed or wounded, and they were unable to stop the enemy for a moment.
Su Xin, who was staying behind, had a more solemn expression on her face. This was completely different from what the intelligence said. How could this be some little demon? It was clearly a demon king!
Su Xin believed that she was definitely going to die here today, but Shen Yuelan and Su Yi still had a chance to survive, so she had to pass the information to them as soon as possible.
Su Xin made up her mind and decided to save a Song imperial guard and send him back to Shen Yuelan. However, even with such a convenient way of transmitting information, it would take about thirty seconds to complete the task.
The remaining imperial guards can only hold out for fifteen seconds, and she will have to rely on herself for the remaining fifteen seconds. Alas, I really want to see them again.
Fifteen seconds passed in a flash. When Su Xin came to her senses, there was no one in front of her. The Song imperial guards had done their best.
[Haha, you are so brave, you dare to be distracted when fighting with me? You are so arrogant! ]
Before the alluring voice stopped, a fierce attack came whistling. This was a coin demon that fought purely by physical strength. Although Su Yi's weapon could cause some damage to it, the deep scars that could see the bone could always heal quickly.
After several rounds, the damage Su Xin caused to the wild monster was almost negligible, but Su Xin herself was now covered with wounds, and even her beloved Qin Sword was shattered. That was the first gift Shen Yuelan gave her.
Su Xin wanted to give up and wait quietly for her fate of death, but she couldn't do that yet. There were still seven seconds left. The Song imperial army hiding in the ruins still had seven seconds to completely leave the battlefield. She had to hold on for a while longer.
[Haha, I didn't expect that the great Demon King would hide his identity in the prison of the other world for so many years, and only jumped out now. I really can't understand what your purpose is? ]
[Hmph, little girl, don't think I don't know what you want to do. You want to delay time? No way. I want you to die at three o'clock in the morning. Who dares to stay until five o'clock? Go to hell. ]
Before Su Xin could respond, her chest was pierced. She suddenly felt her chest was empty and knew that she had seen the core of the enchantress in the hand of a demon.
[Damn it, I should have formed a pact with Yue Lan earlier, so that even if I die, I can become a part of Yue Lan. ]
Su Xin's eyes gradually lost their luster, but she had no regrets, because she had successfully bought seven seconds for Song Jinjun. At the cost of her life, she bought a chance of survival for Shen Yuelan and others. This deal was not a loss.
Su Xin felt that she had not suffered any loss, but Shen Yuelan was almost going crazy. Just because of that rubbish information, she lost Su Xin and her family once again. This was really intolerable.
When she returns, she will definitely find out who is behind her betrayal, but what is more important at the moment is the Demon King thousands of miles away. Shen Yuelan doesn't have, and doesn't dare to waste, the time that Su Xin bought for her with her life.
After receiving the information from Song's imperial army, she immediately called for the arrival of the Ghost Emperor Du Juan. In fact, she also wanted to call Shen Sushang back, but when she thought that this might cause the Yuelong to be paralyzed, Shen Yuelan gritted her teeth and finally endured it.
One Ghost Emperor is enough to save her life. Once she gets a few more people, she will definitely be able to kill this bastard.
Chapter 276: A Disastrous Beginning
The angry Du Juan came roaring in with the Du sisters, and Shen Huanyan also followed because she was worried about Shen Yuelan, but before they could say anything, their enemies came to them on their own initiative.
It turned out that after eating Su Xin, the monster sensed the existence of Shen Yuelan. Knowing that there was no powerful monster girl around him, he planned to let him follow in Su Xin's footsteps. However, he didn't expect that this guy had no martial ethics and even brought people with him.
The demon witnessed it and turned away without saying anything. Although he didn't know the details of these people, he knew that there was one ghost among them that he couldn't afford to offend, or there was no need for him to waste time here to chase prey that he couldn't eat.
Although the demon ran very fast, Shen Yuelan, who was already furious, could not let her go. She saw with her own eyes Su Xin's blood dripping from the demon woman's hand.
The bright red was very dazzling at this moment. Sometimes seeing too clearly is not a good thing.
At this moment, Shen Yuelan was overwhelmed by the scene before her, and completely forgot that her current strength was not enough to face the Demon King, or that she did not have the absolute strength to defeat the opponent.
Especially in a life-and-death battle like this, it is not easy to take the enemy's life without paying a price.
But it is obvious that there is no such rational person around Shen Yuelan now. Even Shen Huanyan, when facing Su Xin's death, lost her usual composure and started to become murderous.
Even though Su Xin doesn't have much presence in daily life, she has silently done a lot for everyone. She is a gentle big sister in everyone's heart. No one would remain indifferent when such a kind person died tragically at the hands of this monster.
Su Yi and others who arrived late were not much calmer than Shen Yuelan and others when they learned of Su Xin's death. After all, Su Xin and she were sisters from the same family.
[Let me go! I want to kill that bastard. She actually...actually killed Su Xin. How dare she? ]
Shen Yuelan was still rational enough to order people to pull Su Yi away. Su Xin was already dead, and if anything happened to Su Yi again, she would not be able to explain to Shen Suchang.
But Shen Yuelan's rationality limited herself to this point. Without waiting for Gan Yuelong and others' support to arrive, Shen Yuelan rushed forward with Du Juan and others, determined to kill the demon on the spot.
Dujuan took the lead, using the stealth ability of the ghost clan, and rushed to the back of Yihua Yao first, intending to assassinate him directly. One's own family knows one's own business. Yihua Yao is not sure that he can kill Dujuan cleanly, but does Dujuan have the confidence?
She actually didn't, it was just that there was a bonus to her anger value just now. But now that Du Juan has calmed down, she has to think about how to get out of this situation safely.
Yes, to escape unscathed, because Du Juan was sure that she could not defeat the enemy by herself. If she made a mistake in operation, her whole family might be killed. If that happened, it would be a huge loss.
But the others obviously didn't do that. The moment the Demon was entangled by Dujuan, they all rushed up and attacked it. However, the gap between the Demon King and the Demon Emperor was like a chasm. Although the attacks of the crowd seemed powerful, they actually didn't even scratch its skin.
Only Dujuan's attack could cause it some pain, which made Shen Yuelan quite afraid of the guy in front of her. She began to protect the bow in her hand tightly. After calming down, Shen Yuelan finally began to think about their retreat.
The guy in front of him was obviously a warrior, and Dujuan's fighting style was more like an assassin. If it was a warrior with low health, Dujuan might still be able to kill him in seconds, but if he faced a warrior with full health head-on, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.
At this moment, Shen Yuelan, in addition to providing fire support to Du Juan from time to time, had already begun to think about how to delay time. It might not be a wrong thing to rush over and entangle him just now.
After all, a fugitive at the level of a demon king is always a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the other world. Killing him early would be considered a merit. The problem is how can she entangle the enemy and wait for reinforcements while trying her best to save her own life.
Du Juan won't be able to hold out for long. Even with his own firepower support and various talismans, he can only barely compete with the enemy. Defeat is only a matter of time.
So what other means do I have to delay the other party's counterattack? It seems that there is none. I have been somewhat slack in this period of time. My power has grown a lot, but I have neglected my own growth. It is really a mistake.
Shen Yuelan had already begun to retreat, preparing to find a chance to escape. Of course, she did not forget to inform her subordinates, but except for Du Juan who understood Shen Yuelan's meaning, no one else had any intention of stopping her.
This was the result of insufficient training on weekdays. Shen Yuelan was helpless for the moment and could only send out all the Song imperial guards to try to share some of the pressure for Du Juan.
But it was obvious that the Song Imperial Guards, which were smaller in number, were not even qualified to be cannon fodder in a war of this level. The human wave tactics that Shen Yuelan was most proud of were worthless in the face of absolute power.
In a short while, more than 2,000 soldiers of the imperial guard were wiped out, not even a speck of dust was left. Shen Yuelan was a little discouraged for a moment, but at this critical moment, she could only bite the bullet and continue to hold on.
But as time passed, Dujuan was gradually defeated. Seeing that the demon was getting braver and braver, Dujuan gritted her teeth and stopped fighting with it. She turned around and rushed back to Shen Yuelan, and grabbed Shen Yuelan and Du Ling who was guarding Shen Yuelan away.
As for the others, Dujuan was powerless to do anything. It was just their fault for being disobedient and fighting.
Shen Yuelan, who was being snatched away, was stunned for a moment by Du Juan's sudden attack, but she soon came to her senses. She looked at the remaining three little guys becoming increasingly smaller, and for a moment she felt a little bit reluctant.
But at this moment, Shen Yuelan could only throw out a sealing talisman and seal Du You in the talisman from a distance. Although he could not escape, at least his life would be safe for a short period of time.
As for the remaining two little ones, Shen Yuelan could only leave it to their own luck, except throwing more talismans at them.
[Damn it, damn it, I'm really at a loss this time. I watched Du You's talisman fall into the forest below. She is probably fine, but the other two are in trouble.]
[Indeed, this time we lost both the lady and the troops. Not only did Su Xin get in, but Meng Ze and Zhi Wei might also be in danger. However, no one expected to encounter another demon king in such a place. It can only be said that it was fate and time, and no one can be blamed. ]
[My Lord, a wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him. The most important thing now is to escape. When the reinforcements arrive, we will come back to avenge them.]
[This is the only way. Let's go meet up with Su Yi first, and then we can make a long-term plan.]
【it is good. 】
Chapter 277: Death of Ying Mengze
Ying Mengze and Lu Zhiwei, who were left there, of course understood that they were abandoned. It was impossible to say that they had no resentment at all, but in the current situation, even if they were in charge, they would stop the loss in time and leave as soon as possible.
However, when faced with the same situation, the two made different choices. Lu Zhiwei believed that his flesh and blood was given by Shen Yuelan, so he did not have much resentment towards Shen Yuelan.
Instead, she took the lead and continued to fight with the monster, trying to buy some time for Shen Yuelan and others to escape, while Ying Mengze's heart was filled with anger for being betrayed.
She glanced resentfully at the direction where Shen Yuelan and the others fled, then turned around and sneered at Lu Zhiwei's blocking behavior. Seeing that the demon could not take care of her for the time being, she immediately left and ran away. She didn't want to die for Shen Yuelan.
Although Lu Zhiwei launched an attack on the enemy with the determination to die, in front of the Yihua demon, the attack was like a mosquito bite, which did not itch at all. The Yihua demon waved his hand, and Lu Zhiwei was knocked into the mountain stream and disappeared.
Seeing this, Yihua Yao was too lazy to look for her anymore. The meat on the bigger crab legs was not worth her bending down to pick up. The living crab was obviously more to Yihua Yao's liking. After all, the fresher the food, the better it tastes.
Therefore, the fate of Lu Zhiwei and Ying Mengze became completely different. Lu Zhiwei, who was determined to die, rushed to the enemy, but saved his life because of the enemy's contempt.
But the resentful Ying Mengze was not so lucky. After leaving the battlefield, she quickly fled to the southwest, which was the direction of her motherland and was completely opposite to the direction of Shen Yuelan and others.
Ying Mengze firmly believed that after the Demon King had gotten rid of Lu Zhiwei, he would definitely continue to hunt down Shen Yuelan and others. As long as he ran far enough, the Demon King would no longer care about him, the little Kalemi.
But unfortunately, the demon did not act according to her plan. When Ying Mengze was about to arrive at the Qin-Yan border, a creepy figure leisurely appeared behind Ying Mengze.
[Damn it, I'm only one step away from going home. ]
Knowing that he had no way to retreat, Ying Mengze gave a bitter smile and reluctantly stretched out his hand towards his homeland. However, he heard a "pop" sound and felt the world turn upside down. In the blink of an eye, he saw a body without a head, standing there.
[Huh? Why does this body look so familiar? Ah... yes... this is clearly my own body. Did I lose my head? What a sharp knife. ]
[I have such a charming body. Haha, I am really a great man. As a man, I am a hero. As a woman, I can also seduce everyone.]
[It's a pity that I can only go this far. It's really fate. But fortunately, at least my head died on the land of Qin. It can be regarded as... returning to my roots. ]
[Shen Yuelan, I will die today, and we are even now. I only hope that we will never see each other again.]
Think about it, this imperial monarch who dominated the Warring States Period came to an end here. He might be unwilling to accept it, but there was no way to turn the tide.
