The King of Minyue was suddenly killed by Li Xin, and the King of Ouyue had no time to stabilize the 20,000 soldiers.
One of the two Yue Sovereigns had died, while the other had fled, causing the chaotic Yue soldiers to become even more chaotic.
They instinctively wanted to escape into the dense forest behind them.
However, the Qin army's arrows rained down one after another. In a short while, the other side of the river was already littered with corpses.
The blood of the Yue soldiers dyed the river red…
After several rounds of arrow rain, no one on the other side of the river could still stand.
Li Xin then ordered the army to cross the river and clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, Li Xin did not even activate his Shooting Aura…
To these 20,000 soldiers, it was a one-sided massacre.
Li Xin was also puzzled. Why did the King of Minyue and the King of Ouyue dare to be so arrogant even before they were out of the range of Great Qin's arrows?
Didn't they know that Qin's bows and crossbows far surpassed those of the six dynasties? They could shoot two hundred paces away.
Not to mention, the already dead King of Minyue and the escaped King of Ouyue really didn't know…
The Yue also had bows and arrows, but their bows and arrows were very primitive.
Let alone shooting a hundred and fifty steps like the six countries of the Central Plains.
Even a hundred steps was barely enough.
This river was neither wide nor narrow, but it was more than a hundred steps but far from two hundred steps.
Back then, when Minyue and Ouyue were divided, they saw that even the double-reverse bow and arrow could not hit this river, so they used this as a boundary…
However, they met the Qin army.
Unfortunately, the Chu military advisor had forgotten to tell the two how powerful the Qin bow was.
He also thought that the King of Minyue and the King of Ouyue knew about this…
An hour later, the Qin army had finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Out of the 20,000 Yue soldiers, 18,000 were killed or injured. The remaining 2,000 were lucky enough to escape into the dense forest and disappeared.
At the same time, after checking the battlefield, Li Xin also learned that the King of Ouyue had escaped.
After he had shot the King of Minyue to death, he had thought that the King of Ouyue would also be shot to death.
After all, the Yue army on the other side of the river had fallen into chaos, so they did not pay much attention to the King of Ouyue.
After receiving the news, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh. This King of Ouyue was really lucky. He actually managed to escape successfully for the second time.
" Heh, it's just as you said. The King of Ouyue's ability to escape is amazing," Meng Tian teased." What do we do next?" Do you want to chase after the escaping King of Ou Yue?"
Li Xin shook his head and directly denied,"Don't pursue a desperate enemy."”
"But the King of Ouyue ran away twice.”Meng Tian found it hard to accept. The King of Ouyue was not dead, so how could he send the news to Ying Zheng?
Furthermore, the King of Ouyue who managed to escape was a hidden danger to the Qin army.
Even though they had attacked all the way here, the Bai Yue army's combat strength was far inferior to the Qin army.
However, they were afraid that these Yue people would suddenly launch a sneak attack and catch the Qin army off guard. After all, the Yue people were the home ground of the Yue people, and their understanding of this place far exceeded that of the Qin army.
Li Xin patiently explained,"The King of Ou Yue and the remaining soldiers ran into the dense forest. If our army were to pursue them, they would have to enter the dense forest."”
"Although the soldiers carry herbal tea and mung bean soup with them, these two things are not enough for our army to ignore the miasma in the dense forest.”
"Once the soldiers are infected by the miasma, our army will lose without fighting.”
"But…" Meng Tian still wanted to speak.
Li Xin simply raised his hand and patted his shoulder,""Alright, elder brother, if we want to chase, I'm afraid we'll have to chase to the territory of South Yue. The climate there is even worse, and the burden on the soldiers will be even greater.”
"Anyway, the King of Minyue is already dead. Let's go and occupy the Minyue Royal City first.”
"After occupying the Min Yue Capital, the attack on the Bai Yue can come to an end.”
"What?" Meng Tian was stunned. That's it?"
Li Xin smiled and nodded," That's right. Ou, Yue, Min, and Yue were both conquered by our Qin army. Now, they are all part of our Qin territory. These two tribes are two of the four largest tribes in the Hundred Yue. If our army took down two of them, wouldn't that mean that we have taken down half of the Hundred Yue?”
Hearing Li Xin's words, Meng Tian only came back to her senses after a long time.
After hesitating for a moment, he said," Li Xin, I think the Bai Yue can't withstand a fight. We might as well go all out and destroy the remaining two tribes."”
In just a few days, they had taken down half a hundred Yue, even faster than destroying Chu.
Meng Tian had yet to find out the secret of Li Xin's ability to increase the shooting range of his archers, and Li Xin had already told her that it was over?
Naturally, he was not satisfied.
Furthermore, the battle prowess displayed by Min Yue and Ou Yue made Meng Tian think that the remaining South Yue and West Ou were not much different.
Only then did he say these words to Li Xin.
Since he was already here, he might as well settle it all at once.
"No," Li Xin shook his head.
"Why?"
" Brother, I've already said that the environment in South Yue and West Ou is worse than Ou Yue and Min Yue," Li Xin said patiently," Although the Bai Yue will belong to Great Qin sooner or later, we can't let our soldiers sacrifice in vain.”
"Moreover, if we go further west, the terrain will be inconvenient to transport rations.”
"Let's wait until everything is ready and let the soldiers we brought stay in the Baiyue Land to adapt to the environment before making any plans.”
" Alright," Meng Tian finally compromised." You're the commander. I'll listen to you."”
After the two of them reached an agreement, the Qin army marched towards the Minyue Royal City and successfully took down the city that afternoon.
The King of Minyue was dead, and there were no Yue soldiers stationed in the city. The ones left behind were the same as those in the capital of Ouyue, mostly the old, weak, women, and children.
After a few days, Li Xin's army took down all the mountain strongholds in Min Yue and told them that the King of Min Yue was dead and that Min Yue had returned to Great Qin.
The stubborn resistance of the Yue people had caused the Qin army to pay a price, but the losses were not too great.
Just as Li Xin raised his brush and was about to write a report of victory to send to Xianyang.
Ying Zheng's edict was first delivered to him and Meng Tian…
