Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

After this fight, the Hangu Pass Camp elite soldiers fought bravely, never retreating, witnessed firsthand. The Chu Army resisted fiercely, but ultimately couldn’t hold. ”Do you think Chu State would be unaware of Qin’s military action against them?” Huan Yi said. ”Indeed.” ”There must be dark guards of Chu within Qin.” ”For our Hangu Pass Camp to move in such scale, they couldn’t possibly not know.” Li Xin replied. ”Exactly so.” Huan Yi’s expression was stern: ”Even if Qin hadn’t mobilized against Chu, the Chu Army garrison in this city would never be less than fifty thousand.” ”After all, Lord Changping stationed the same number in Chenying City, so Chu would do likewise.” ”Yet in this assault, the Chu garrison, though seeming to defend with their lives, numbered fewer than fifty thousand; and as soon as our army breached the city, they rapidly retreated.” ”But that’s not all.” ”Several cities along the frontier have also been taken by our forces; though Chu defenders fought desperately, they still withdrew, never attempting to hold battle with our troops.” Huan Yi’s brows furrowed. ”Shangjiangjun, are you suggesting the Chu Army is luring us in deep? Deliberately abandoning these cities, letting us invade Chu State?”

Li Xin, a capable commander, grasped the essence from Huan Yi’s few words. ”Since entering Chu State, the Chu Army has never engaged us head-on: always fighting and retreating. Though pretending to defend to the death, they keep losing cities; in just ten days, we’ve conquered six city-states in succession.” ”It’s somewhat bizarre.” Huan Yi said in a low voice. ”Shangjiangjun.” ”Could it be that the internal strife of Chu isn’t resolved?” ”From what I know, there are three great clans in Chu State holding immense power, and they may not align with the new Chu king.”
