Chapter 188: The Flames of War


Chapter 188: The Flames of War Hanshui Ferry Fortress Yuhan, the sound of killing shook the sky.

The Wu division is rushing to attack the Yuhan Ferry, which is still guarded by the Chu army.

Wu Shi General Wang Sunxiong stood in front of the formation with his spear, looking indifferently at the camp in front of him, and his soldiers were like a group of ants who forgot to die, charging towards the camp.

The arrow towers and fortresses of the camp are facing outward, which was originally intended to defend against foreign enemies, but now the enemy is coming from the rear, and the geographical advantages that can be relied on are limited.

In addition, the entire camp is mainly made of wood, and under the rocket attack, there are now several places that have been ignited, and the loss is inevitable.

The crossbows of the Chu people were sharp and fierce, but now that the arrows had been exhausted, the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and at this time, the sword and shield hands of the Wu people began to exert their might.

The sword light flickered, more chilling than the wind, countless short swords struck the leather shield, making an overwhelming "bang" sound, and the chariot of the Wu people was like a dark cloud, pouring down on the position of the Chu people.

The roar of exuberance was deafening.

Doctor Chu stood on the walled city with a sword burning everywhere, and his tall and thin figure was like a lonely tree trunk in the wind.

He was dressed in white, with a linen belt around his waist and a white scarf around his head, dressed as a linen belt and filial piety.

This filial piety, he wears it for himself, for his family, and for the thousands of soldiers in his camp.

When Wu Shi sent troops to attack Yuhan, he knew that this camp must not be able to hold, when he repelled the enemy's fourth charge, took advantage of the gap between the two sides to adjust the battle formation, returned to the door, ordered his wife and concubine, the old and the young, and the family of seventeen to hang themselves and martyrdom, and then rushed back to the position with linen and filial piety.

He is determined to fight to the last soldier and live and die with the fortress of Uosaka.

A fence shook a few times and collapsed.

Although this camp is made of wood, but it is built with a thick giant wood half buried in the soil, the Wu people have used ropes to pull horses and cattle have not pulled down when attacking the camp, but under the fire attack several camps were burned into a piece of scorched wood, and now they have finally completed their mission.

A grim smile appeared at the corner of Wang Sunxiong's mouth, and his palm gradually tightened the shaft of the spear, slowly lifting it into the air.

The sharp tip of the spear glistened brightly in the sunlight, and it froze in the air for a moment, then swung forward with Wang Sunxiong's powerful arm.

The reserve team behind Wang Sunxiong raised their spears in unison, just like a forest of steel, and pointed forward with a brush, and the entire forest of spears rushed forward like a wave, and the whole team lined up in a wedge shape, and rushed quickly towards the gap in the camp that had just been opened.

Qu Wuchen's eyes were red, he raised his long sword, and shouted: "The whole army will move forward and die with the enemy."

"The whole army will move forward and die with the enemy" The red-eyed Chu army withdrew from the arrow battlements on the camp one after another, rushed to the camp and joined the camp of hand-to-hand combat with Wu Shi.

Once the sword and shield hands and spearmen converge, they formed a perfect squad of far and near, and they fought together, and the Chu people were far from being the opponents of the Wu division who were accustomed to this kind of hand-to-hand handover, and blood and death were staged all the time.

Qu Wuchen, who was determined to die, rushed into the battle formation of the Wu people with the long sword of the Chu people in his hand, fighting desperately.

The sword, slashing through the spears that had been stabbed one by one, and exerting all its strength, could only slash in vain at one well-defended shield.

"Ah" Qu Wuchen raised his head to the sky and roared, suddenly bent his knees and swung his sword, and finally took advantage of the moment when the Wu people's shield was falling slowly, and cut off a soldier's foot from the ankle with a sword, and then he kicked on the shield, kicking down the soldier who was standing on one leg and screaming, and rushed forward through this rare gap.

A spear suddenly appeared in front of him, the blade of the spear and his long sword struck loudly, and a gap immediately appeared on the originally scarred long sword, Qu Wuchen staggered back, and a young general stood proudly in front of him.

Light armor and spears, standing tall, the fierce killing intent condensed in his eyes.

"Chu people Qu Wuchen is here, who are you?"

The man shook his spear lightly and said proudly: "Sun Xiong, the king of Wu." ” "Good" Qu Wuchen smiled sadly, his long sword was horizontal, and in one move, his red eyes stared at him.

Wang Sunxiong stood sideways, holding a spear with one arm, and with a slight wave of the other hand, the Wu soldiers immediately retreated backwards, forming a circle of a human wall, outside the circle, there were Qu Wuchen and Wang Sunxiong holding a spear and a sword, and outside the circle, there were fewer and fewer Chu soldiers and Wu soldiers like wolves and tigers.

"General, please come in" Wang Sunxiong held the handle of the spear with his other hand, pointed the spear forward, and shouted awe-inspiringly.

"Hey" Qu Wuchen spun forward, and with his fast-moving pace and waist strength, he slashed at Wang Sunxiong like a split wind.

Wang Sunxiong held the spear, dialed the split, step by step back, the two sides handed over the blades, sonorous, a series of more than ten blows, "dang" sound, Qu Wuchen's long sword in his palm was not able to withstand such a heavy blow, cut off from half, Wang Sunxiong's spear against his chest, a foot-long sharp blade slightly sunk into the robe, firmly against his chest, Wang Sunxiong smiled slightly, shouted: "Descend, or die" With a sound of "dang", the half-truncated blade fell into the dust, Qu Wuchen smiled sadly, and the half-truncated sword in his hand turned around, and slashed resolutely at his throat.

Blood gushed out, and plum blossoms bloomed everywhere on the white robe.

Wang Sunxiong sighed lightly: "I know that I am invincible, so why bother" With a twist of his wrist, the spear turned, Qu Wuchen's figure shook slightly, his eyes slowly lost their brilliance, the corners of his lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but when he inhaled it, he fell to the ground.

The soldiers who were watching raised their weapons high and cheered, and some people had already shouted: "Yuhan Shou General Qu Wuchen is dead, Yuhan Shou General Qu Wuchen is dead" The shouts spread in the camps where the war was raging, and the few remaining Chu soldiers were divided by the Wu people in groups of three or five, and a group of spearmen and sword and shield men surrounded these swordsmen of the Chu State in the center, they were like a fallen leaf in the wind and waves, beaten by the surging waves, sometimes sinking, sometimes floating, although they had already held the heart of death, hearing the news, the determination to die was still in chaos, and this "fallen leaf" was about to be broken by the wind and waves.

Wang Sunxiong strode forward with corpses and blood everywhere, and loudly announced in the shouts of slaughter: "If there are those who do not surrender, cut them all off, quickly clean up the battlefield, collect all the ships, and leave thirty for reserve, and the rest will gather and burn them."

Yingdu, the long line can't see the edge at a glance.

Those carriages that were collected from the homes of the ministers of Chu and the rich gentry formed a team of their own, escorted by elite armor soldiers, and drove directly to the state of Wu.

Another team of improvised vehicles and manpower rushed to Uosaka to transport the looted goods back to China by water.

As if he wanted to empty the entire Chu State, all strategic materials, daily necessities, gold and silver treasures, copper and iron weapons, and those that could not be used were being shipped with all their might.

Now he is not worried that the carriage and horses are not enough, but he can't send enough escort teams, and the rich wealth that the Chu State has accumulated for more than 500 years is about to be taken by Lu Lu for himself.

"Dodge and dodge" rode fast horses, with small flags on their shoulders, and the standard was the status of messengers in the army, while riding horses and whips, while shouting at the convoy transporting wealth, making their crooked convoy make way and rush out in a hurry.

They were messengers sent back to Wuzhong by Ji Guang, and Ji Guang was determined to delay in Yingdu for a period of time, resist the offensive of the Chu people and Qingji's coalition army, and wait for Qi Jin to react, so as to reverse the general trend of the world, but he was really relieved that he could not go to Wu proper, so he sent people to hurry back and give an opportunity to his brother-in-law and the prince's husband.

Ji Guang ordered his brother-in-law to be on strict guard against the Yue State, which had always been in cahoots with the Chu State, to take advantage of the fire and rob, and ordered the prince's husband to send a scout horse, and the scouts he sent to closely monitor the two roads leading to the Wu State, in case the Qingji Guide attacked the north, and pretended to ally with the Chu Hui to secretly attack the Wu State.

At the same time, he sent several large armies to occupy the military passes around Yingdu, hoping to seize all strategic points and occupy geographical advantages before the army of King Qin of Chu did not converge.

Around Yingdu, all water and land are passes, Wu hooks are everywhere, and the war is raging "Between the two mountains, what is that fortress" Qingji hid in the forest, looked at it for a while, and asked a Chu guide.

"Oh, General, that little city, that's it."

"Yes, that's it, what's it called?"

"Uh, General, that little city, that's the name of the city."

"What" Qingji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "This name is peculiar."

He looked up at the sky, the sun had set, and the sky was still faintly red, but the cold had already come.

Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter is not very cold, but the color of the earth can still be seen to be much darker.

"Command all the officers and men of the three armies to hide in the forest and rest, not to light fires, not to make noise, and to take good care of the horses."

"No," Ah Qiu replied and hurriedly retreated.

"Shake the light", seeing that the guide also retreated, Qing Ji shook the light to the uncle and grandson in armor next to him and smiled gently: "When you launch a surprise attack on that city tonight, you can only stay in the rear, and you must not charge ahead to distract me." ” "Well, I know, fighting is a man's business" Uncle Sun shook his light and smiled sweetly, and his attitude was very tame: "But you have to be careful, if you are injured a little, next time, you will not allow me to stay by your side." ” "Okay," Qingji smiled slightly.

When he found out that his uncle and grandson Shaoguang were in the army, although the "surprise" performance he showed when he "accidentally" found her was really a little clumsy, but his uncle and grandson Shaoguang seemed to believe it, and she never questioned a word from beginning to end, nor did she complain, this attitude made Ji Sun Xiaoman, who wanted to see a good show, quite disappointed.

And Qingji knows the performance of her uncle and grandson Shaoguang, she doesn't see any clues, but now it is the critical moment when Qingji leads the troops to destroy Wu and restore the country, even if she is full of doubts, she does not want to make extraneous branches, and at this critical moment, she proposes to share the god of Qingji.

Uncle and grandson Shaoguang's empathetic and general demeanor made Qingji both respect and love her.

The two men marched side by side and discussed military affairs, although there were less of the romances they had in Philadelphia, but their feelings for each other were more profound and timeless.

It's just that after the war, Qingji didn't forget, one night he sent Shaoguang back to the account, and wanted to take the opportunity to rub in and rub the oil, but this girl suddenly had a jealous attack and said to him: "Go and go, people are helping you fight now, do you want to find a woman, look for your Xiao Ai General."

What do you have to quibble, do you dare to say that it is said that it is a gift of undressing in the snow, there is no half of the love between men and women, just caring about your subordinates Hum Wait for you to finish the big thing, and I will settle accounts with you" Don't look at her tender appearance now, her pungent energy is even better than Xiao Ai's brutality, now she hides her sharp minions, and when the overall situation has been timed, I am afraid it will be even more unbearable, "Take a step, look at a step, these two girls are currently fighting openly and secretly, and the kung fu of competing with each other is all used in the war, which is not a good thing."

Qingji secretly glanced at her beautiful face, and secretly thought in his heart.

The golden sunset dyed a layer of gold for the beautiful face of the uncle and grandson.

As if noticing Qingji's peeping, her eyes suddenly glanced, Qingji immediately retracted his gaze and looked forward, the two walked down the grassy slope, and were about to cross a stream, Qingji's feet were in chaos, and he almost stepped into the water.

"The terrain of this and that city is very good."

Qingji whispered.

Cover Yu, Liang Huzi, Jing Lin, and Ah Qiu Zaiqiu and other generals sat in a circle in the forest with him, without lighting a bonfire, the night was dim, the moonlight was dim, and they couldn't see everyone's faces clearly, and they could only distinguish their identities from their figures, postures and voices by the faint starlight and moonlight.

In the dark, Qingji's facial features were difficult to distinguish, and only a pair of eyes shone brightly "Judging from the way we have come to investigate, the geography of that city is very favorable for our next move, so I want to take this city and use it as our base camp."

Cover Yu Gongzi said: "This city is not big, and our nearly 30,000 troops are crowded, as for the geographical advantage, Qingji, you can tell me the reason for choosing this place and your plans, and let everyone think about it." ” "My intentions, everybody's clear.

Ji Guang attacked Chu and brought out most of the elite troops of Wu, and our purpose was to drag him down, trap him on the battlefield of Chu, and take advantage of the emptiness in his country to regain control of Wu.

Now, the line of communication from Wu to Yingdu of Chu is in the hands of Ji Guang.

The movement of tens of thousands of my troops will definitely not be able to hide from his ears and eyes, therefore, the main road to Wu in the east must have already been filled with Ji Guang's secret agents, if we abandon Ji Guang and directly send troops to attack Wu State, then Ji Guang can definitely rush back to China before us.

Even if we can return to Wu at the same time as him, or one step ahead of him, we will inevitably be resisted by Ji Guang's army left behind in the country, and before we can attack the city, Ji Guang's main army will return, in that case, our plan will inevitably fail.

Therefore, we have to make a vague picture of a decisive battle with Ji Guang in the state of Chu to give him a wrong impression.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the alliance with Chu to trap him in the state of Chu, it is even worse to consume his forces as much as possible, so as to create favorable conditions for us in the future decisive battle on the territory of the state of Wu.

The force I really used to attack the state of Wu was in the country of Lu, in the army that was now led by Uncle Zhu Yong, Sun Wu and Yingtao, which was a strange soldier for us to destroy the state of Wu.

This and that city is one of the three main roads that Ji Guang chose to retreat by land, and it is the most convenient road, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, which is an important reason why I chose this place.

Second, to the south of here, you can attack Yingdu, once the army of King Qin of Chu gathers, we can rely on this place to encircle Jiguang with the Chu army; To the north of here, as long as twenty miles, is the Han River, we stay here, with the geographical advantage, when the time comes, you can withdraw from the war group at any time, go east along the Han River, and kill back to Wu from the Yangtze River waterway, or take the land route, which is also the fastest road. ” "Well," he pondered for a moment, then bowed his head, "Yes, you are very thoughtful, and I agree with your decision, but I still have some ideas.

Nearly 30,000 troops, all stationed here is not good, and although this place is a dangerous place, it is also a Jedi, at present, the division of the Chu people Qin Wang is rushing to Suiguo one after another, and it can't be arrived for a while, we now occupy that city, Ji Guang will send heavy troops to counterattack, if they are blocked in the dangerous city, our lone army will be self-defeating.

I have been fighting in Chu for a year, and I have some understanding of the geography of Chu, I remember that I went to the northwest here, about thirty miles, there is a big lake in the mountains, called Baijin Lake, Baijin Lake leads to Han water, even Zhangshui, hundreds of miles in radius, by the mountains and lakes, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In my opinion, after we have conquered that city, we can divide our troops and station them at Baijin Lake, and use that city as a horn to help each other, so as to avoid the danger of being trapped alone. ” Jing Lin praised: "What the prince said is reasonable, and the military must not be careless, this is a perfect plan."

Moreover, since it is possible for us to choose the waterway to fight Wu, this way from the country is from the country, but we do not have a boat.

Baijin Lake is hundreds of miles in circumference and runs through the Han River, and our people stationed at Baijin Lake can collect all kinds of boats nearby for backup, and once necessary, they can be put into use. ” It was not until the moon rose high and cast their shadows in front of them that the discussion ended and unanimously decided to take the city first, choke the main land route for Ji Guang's retreat, and then divide the troops to Baijin Lake, both for Austrian reinforcements, and at the same time to raise ships for the return to Wu for combat backup.

At night, the city was silent, and the large group of men and horses were hidden in the mountains and forests behind, and Qingji only led three thousand experienced veterans of the battle array, and the snake moved forward and quietly approached the city.

On a hillside, Qingji stopped his army and looked at the city carefully, and the city in the night was like a monster in the shadows, quietly waiting there.

Listening to the movement in the small city, Qingji stood up silently and clenched the spear in his hand: "Those who rush to capture the city and climb the city first will be promoted to one level, and those who kill the enemy chieftain will be promoted to two levels, and set off."

In the silence of the night, there was a "clang" sound, which was the sound of a uniform team standing up at the same time and rubbing their armor.

The hillside rose steeply, and the sharp blades of the halberds shone with a cold glow in the moonlight.

The improvised tools of storming the city were lifted by the warriors, and they rushed down the hillside like a tidal wave, and the sound of footsteps gradually increased, like a giant elephant stamping on the ground, and the earth roared.

When they ran to the bottom of the city, there was a roar of rage, as if the flood had found an outlet, and the three thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and a terrible wave swept over the small city in the night.

The sword was swung, the thick pointed rushing tools slammed into the thin city gate, and rockets poured into the city like a meteor shower in the night sky, blood and fire rising into the sky.

Under the continuous attack, the city gate that is not thick has been struck in pieces, the fire inside and outside the city is everywhere, the vanguard and the Wu army defending the city have started hand-to-hand combat in the city gate hole, more than 100 simple wooden ladders have been erected to the low city wall, the soldiers are walking in the ant, some people continue to scream and fall, and some people continue to rush up, and the officers and soldiers who hurriedly responded to the battle quickly entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"The enemy is not the Chu people," someone exclaimed by the light of the fire.

"Wu Guoqingji, crusade against the rebel Ji Guang, those who descend live, and those who resist die" Qingji's men and horses took the opportunity to shout loudly.

Qingji has only been away from the country for more than a year, and he still has an irresistible prestige among the Wu soldiers.

Qingji stood proudly in the formation, frowned slightly, stood aside with a spear, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Qingji shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The resistance of the Wu people is even more tenacious than I expected. ” Cover Yu nodded lightly: "Yes, over the past year or so, Master Wu and I have fought several times in the Chu State, Uncle Fool is incompetent and has been defeated repeatedly, and Master Wu's fear has become smaller. ” Qingji shook his head and said: "Although Uncle Wang was defeated in the Chu State, Qingji returned from the previous attack on Wu Quanyu, which also made many Wu soldiers cowardly.

Moreover, the main reason is that in the past year or so, Ji Guang is afraid that all the generals in the army have been replaced. ” He was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: "Ji Guang has been exchanged for a general in the army, but it has only been a year, and the children of Wu have not yet grown up, so he will not be able to replace all the soldiers in the army."

Since the soldiers of Wu have forgotten your and my martial arts, then let's use the facts to make them afraid again."

Qingji's words ignited the fighting spirit in his heart, he clenched his spear and smiled loudly: "Yes, let's use the fact of blood to make them afraid again" The uncle and nephew looked at each other and laughed, and the shocking drums of war rumbled out, washing away all other sounds on the battlefield.

"Attack the city with my son, and within the time of the three pillars of incense, you must take the whole city" Qing Ji and Bao Yu raised their spears forward, followed by the eight hundred sword and shield men behind them, they stepped forward step by step, and with each step, they struck the leather shield with the spine of their swords, making a muffled sound of "Peng".

Eight hundred men struck their swords and shields at the same time, and the muffled sound turned into a roar even more terrible than the sound of war drums.

"Pomp Pomp" Qingji and Bao Yu led the reserve team and rushed forward in person.

The two sides have entered a street battle, and to Qingji's surprise, the Wu soldiers resisted as best they could, swearing not to retreat.

His mood became anxious, and his murderous intent suddenly grew.

Countless Wu soldiers died under his spear, and all the robes were stained with blood.

There was no effective command in the whole city, and everyone was fighting on their own.

All the way to Qingji surrounded the soldiers into an alley, and suddenly a sound came from the dark alley.

"Be careful," Qingji shouted, abandoning the narrow spear in the alley and drawing his Shadow Sword.

He realized that he had been ambushed by a group of enemy soldiers.

A black shadow rushed in front of him with a strong wind, Qing Ji flashed sideways, and the light shadow sword cut a semicircle, accurately cutting off his head, and then the sword pointed forward, and before the second enemy had time to react, a sword pierced his chest.

"Sonorous and sonorous", the footsteps behind him were abnormal, Qingji didn't want to think about it, a twist of the body, the sword light fell, "dang" sound, the two swords were handed over, the man's short sword was cut by his sword, Qingji's blade fell from his eyebrows, from the nose to the throat, and a blood line was split vertically, stuck between the two collarbones, Qingji drew his sword, and there were a few dull sounds of flesh falling to the ground beside him, and the Wu people of this team of street battles had been wiped out.

"Bang" A torch was lit, Qingji held the torch in one hand and the Chengying Sword in the other, and his face was full of murderous anger towards the Wu man who attacked him from behind.

He lay in a pool of blood, but he was not dead.

As soon as the fire was reflected, there was a vague familiarity, but the face was full of blood, and some did not dare to recognize each other, Qingji's heart sank, and he shouted: "I am Prince Qingji, who are you?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sadly: "Qingji turned out to be you" Qingji listened to his voice, his body couldn't help but shake, and he shouted loudly: "Master" To be continued:
