Chapter 25 The War Has Begun

On the road leading from the border city of Chu State to Qin State, countless spies came and went.

Bring the latest news to your master,

"Report! The Qin army is a hundred miles away from here and is setting up camp. It is expected to arrive within five to ten days."

"Report! Various types of carriages can be seen in the Qin army from a distance, but the specific situation is unknown."

"Report!..."

Xiang Yu was standing on the city wall, listening to the spies' reports and looking in the distance with a slightly solemn expression.

He had been preparing for so long, and the Qin army was finally coming.

He took a slow breath and quickly ordered,

"Tell Long Qie at the front to act according to the plan. From now on, I want the Qin army to have no peace at all times!"

"If there is a chance, it is best to destroy the Qin army's baggage."

This road from Da Qin to here was forcibly opened up by him and his people.

No one knows this place better than them,

Naturally, they can also use the harassment and guerrilla tactics used by the natives.

The other party has traveled a long distance and is not familiar with the terrain, so it will definitely disturb the other party.

When these Qin troops, exhausted by harassment, came to the main battlefield,

With an army of more than 500,000, I don’t believe that he can’t deal with these Qin troops!

Moreover, a large part of the Qin army's combat effectiveness lies in those weapons. If the baggage can be destroyed,

If he fights with only manpower, he is almost certain to win!

After hearing the order, the messengers immediately headed forward,

It doesn't take much time to cover a hundred miles of land by galloping horses. ,

Not long after, the messenger arrived at the front camp of the Chu army and brought Xiang Yu's order to Long Qie.

After Long Qie read the order, he did not hesitate and gave the order directly,

"Let everyone get ready to attack the Qin army tonight!"

"Prepare another thousand elites and see if there is a chance."

Their camp's main task is harassment, and they don't have many manpower. Moreover, it would be inconvenient to have more manpower.

They can only use their familiarity with the terrain to disturb the other party at night.

Of course, he also had some scruples, because the opponent had found a good place to set up their camp, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It seems that the Great Qin God of War still has some abilities.

Soon everyone took action,

At this time, in the Qin Army’s camp not far away, the Qin Army was building its own camp.

This place is already under the control of the Chu State, and they must be more careful.

In the tent in the middle of the camp, Wang Li was looking at a map and said to his generals,

"In the past few days, spies have reported that they have found traces of the Chu army. I think they will fight soon."

"All ministries must be prepared. The map you got before is the map drawn by the caravan along the route over the past ten years."

"Which places are easy to be ambushed and where you need to be careful have been marked."

"Your spies should also have more eyes."

After hearing Wang Li's order, a general returned with a smile,

"General, don't worry. We have studied this map carefully and have designed some simple traps around the camp."

"The overt and covert detection has already been arranged. I'm sure there will be no problem."

Wang Li nodded immediately. These people are veterans and know what to do.

With the help of this map, it won’t be a big problem.

In fact, when he got the map, he was a little surprised.

I originally thought that since I was unfamiliar with the place, I would be at a disadvantage.

But I didn't expect that there would be such a detailed map.

Sure enough, although His Majesty is not the leader of the merchants,

But I heard that more than ten years ago, the business leader had been brought into the house. It seems to be true.

Otherwise, such a task would not be entrusted to business people.

I have to say that this map still played a big role. Where is it suitable to set up a camp along the way? Where does it need to be checked?

He knew everything clearly,

After all, after more than ten years, every detail has been checked clearly.

From now on, he will let the Chu army know how terrifying the Qin army is now!

Soon, night falls, and this place is still a wild land.

Therefore, the bonfires in the Qin army’s camp were extremely conspicuous.

The Chu soldiers in the night couldn't help but feel cold gleams rising in their eyes as they looked at the bright target in front of them.

For these enemy troops who traveled thousands of miles to attack them,

There is no mercy in their hearts,

There is no fear, only hatred,

They have known for many years that on the other side far away, there is a rich and powerful country called Da Qin.

Their fathers competed with each other for the orthodoxy of China, and after failing, they came here to establish a new Chu state.

They had always wanted to fight back, but now the other party actually came to their door.

You must teach the other party a profound lesson.

A squad of 100 people from the Chu army moved towards a small slope with great skill.

Here they can overlook the northeast corner of the Qin army's camp. After seeing the situation clearly, they can decide how to harass the opponent.

"Move gently, don't show any traces."

After the centurion of the Chu army finished his instructions, he took the lead and led his people to touch it.

It is also traditional for the generals of the Chu army to take the lead.

Just when he touched it, the centurion of the Chu army suddenly felt that his right foot was empty, and he was about to break his leg.

He turned around and lay down on the ground, saving his legs.

"Well!…"

Before he could cry out, the centurion of the Chu Army tightly covered his mouth. He knew that he had stepped into a trap.

But why is there a trap here?

The centurion of the Chu army quickly whispered,

"Everyone stop, beware of traps!"

Soon the whole team stopped, and everyone looked around in confusion.

It's just that the night is dark and they can't see anything,

A chief asked quickly,

"Boss! Are you okay?"

The Centurion of the Chu Army took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said,

"It's okay, everyone, please be careful where you step. It should be a trap set by the hunters here."

Shi Chang was stunned for a moment, this place, at this time,

How could there be a hunter?

He was about to say something when suddenly there was a scream from the other side not far away,

"Ah! My leg is broken! Who dug the hole here!"

The centurion of the Chu army scolded him repeatedly,

"Shut up!"

The commander quickly said,

"Boss, he's not one of ours, he should be from another team."

"Boss, something is wrong with this situation..."

But before he finished speaking, bursts of screams came from other places.

Everyone's faces turned ugly,

The centurion of the Chu army said at this time,

"It seems that we have been exposed. In this case, let's just attack for a while. Anyway, don't let these Qin troops rest."

He also felt that something was wrong,

He was about to lead the people into action, but in the next moment, a burst of fire suddenly broke out not far away from where the screams had just been heard!

In the fire, countless Chu troops were wailing!

Not long ago, in the Qin Army’s crossbow camp,

Hu Hai was standing in the middle triumphantly, pointing to a small high ground where the screams came from, and asked the people in the Gongnu Camp,

"Can you hit there with a kerosene arrow?"

The crossbowman smiled and replied,

"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, the parameters of these trap places have already been memorized, so you can keep an eye on them!"

With a command, three kerosene arrows were fired.

Another rocket,

A burst of fire broke out from a small highland hundreds of meters away!

The war has begun!
