The State of Yue killed five thousand troops of the State of Chu. Although the State of Chu crossed the border and occupied Huanglang Mountain, the State of Yue's actions completely angered the State of Chu, so the situation between Chu and Yue suddenly became tense again. The State of Yue, which had just calmed down the civil strife, wanted to fight with
The Chu Kingdom was at war, and Huanglang County, which felt that it was not too involved in the civil war in Vietnam, also felt that it seemed difficult to avoid the disaster on its side. Many refugees who fled to the south to avoid the war began to return to their hometowns.
At this time, Huanglang County is also in a state of turmoil.
Huanglang County looked in danger, but for the Yue State, the courtiers of the Yue State did not care about this matter, especially those civil servants. They only thought that this was a letter of nomination from Wei Gong in order to obtain a formal appointment from Daxia. After all, the six major princes
Kingdom, the State of Zhao relies on the most, and the State of Chu hates the most. It is definitely right to attack the State of Chu, but it is just a show. Moreover, the State of Chu did take advantage of the State of Yue before. Now that the State of Yue has changed its people, it will naturally have to give it to Chu.
The country needs to see that it is not easy to mess with, but no one thinks that a real war will break out. After all, the country of Yue has just been unified, so rest and recuperation is the best policy.
But when everyone in the Yue Kingdom thought so, and even the Chu Kingdom thought so, the Chu State used Pingjiang as a breakthrough, and a hundred thousand naval troops came upstream from the lower reaches to give the Yue Kingdom some color, although it would not really happen.
They want to fight fiercely, but they also have to go all the way north into the southern hinterland of Vietnam to let Vietnam know that they can come and leave whenever they want, and you can only wait.
But no one expected that one hundred thousand sailors would go up the Pingjiang River and arrive at Anyang Lake. Dozens of soldiers carrying stones and wood would directly lay dozens of wooden stakes under the water here, and directly destroy the one hundred thousand soldiers.
The navy was trapped in Anyang Lake.
Anyang Lake is not big or small. After the wooden piles are driven down, the lake water can still flow through. But if the ships want to pass, they have to hit the wooden piles. Once they run aground, it will be completely blocked. This is what I thought.
The Yue Kingdom didn't dare to fight. He was just looking for an excuse to be frightened. Because of this, he really didn't care too much about the strategic risks. He only thought about getting to Anyang Lake and deliberately took a trip around Anyang Lake to make the area around Anyang Lake rich.
The people of Chu would go back after seeing the majesty of Chu State, but now they cannot go back.
If you want to log in, both sides of Anyang Lake have been a place of military confrontation for many years. There have been all kinds of defenses, and the Chu navy is indeed powerful, but it is far inferior to the Yue army on the shore, especially in the past ten years.
They kept fighting, and the sergeant was very effective in fighting.
By this time, the Chu State also knew that the Yue State had really sent an army of 200,000 people. Although the leader of the army was Jiang Heng, the eldest son of Jiang Ziqi, who was in his early twenties, the leader of the army was the famous Yue State Marshal Lin Haoming. This made Chu
The country's army is getting bigger.
Things became like this. Naturally, Lin Haoming and Wei Qian discussed it and Wei Tong agreed. And the current army of 200,000 people was actually controlled by Jiang Ziqi at the time. This army of 200,000 people was extremely powerful, and everyone in the Wei family
They didn't want to waste it easily and let him disarm and return to the field. The only one who could make this army move again was Jiang Heng, so this time he was reused and Lin Haoming was appointed as the warlord.
A commander in his early twenties who led more than 100,000 troops was rare in the entire history of the Yue Kingdom. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the main core generals of this army were not even mobilized. This shows that the three generations of the Wei family have indeed had a heroic leader.
image.
It is now the fifth day of besieging the downstream exit of Anyang Lake. It started to rain heavily last night. Jiang Heng summoned the main generals of the army early in the morning.
Although the army has not undergone major changes, it has not changed at all. The two deputy commanders who were originally used by Zhang Xiao and Wang Yuanzhan to contain Jiang Ziqi disappeared. One was replaced by Jiang Heng's uncle Lu Zong, and the other deputy commander was replaced by Jiang Heng's uncle Lu Zong.
The commander-in-chief was Che Ying, while Chen Tie and Zhou Guangyi became the commanders-in-chief of the left and right armies defending Anyang Lake, while Jiang Heng's adopted brother and Jiang Ziqi's adopted son Lu Zhonghan became the general of the Chinese army.
Now these people are gathering together to discuss things. Under the heavy rain, the river and lake water have begun to rise. Once the water rises too much, although the downstream main river boats that are not afraid of being locked can drive through, there are still two scattered tributaries that are likely to
It will become passable. Once this happens, the trapped 100,000 Chu navy will be able to escape, and Chu has also begun to mobilize troops again and send troops north to respond.
】
When this battle was planned, the purpose was to paralyze the Chu State and create a situation where the time, place and people were all with us. The location and people had been created, but in terms of people and people, Jiang Heng’s 200,000 men had never really been able to fight for many years.
After losing to the opponent, the marshal was killed and suddenly became a prisoner. Naturally, he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation. Naturally, he also held back his energy. The country of Chu could not fight a civil war. The Chu country was already annoying, not to mention the military.
The number of southern soldiers recruited was no less than 70,000 to 80,000. They had long heard about the Chu Kingdom's harassment of their hometown. Lin Haoming even deliberately recruited a few hundred soldiers after Huang Zhan destroyed those strongholds, pretending that they were harassed by the Chu Kingdom.
Go to their homes and fields to bring strong men, not to ask them to fight, but to disperse into an army of 200,000, and spread the anger in their hearts, arousing the resonance of those southern children, thus motivating the whole army to share the same hatred of the enemy. And now it is doing well, the only thing missing is
What matters is the weather, but there should be little rain in autumn, and the rain should be mostly drizzle. Instead, it leads to heavy rains that usually only occur in late spring or summer.
"Chu people are good at water warfare and are not afraid of fighting in rainy days. On the contrary, my Yue people are not able to fight in the mud. Such heavy rains continue until night. As the water level rises, the two tributaries of the East and West not only connect through
The main trunk downstream, and the navigable water surface will also become wider by then. The Chu navy will definitely be able to escape easily, and it is impossible to do such things as driving wooden piles in the river when they are not prepared. If you are prepared, you can't do it again.
We're here, how can we gather around and call for reinforcements?" Chen Tie looked at the heavy rain outside angrily and said as soon as he came up.
This battle is indeed not about swallowing up these 100,000 naval troops. The first goal is to encircle the point and call for reinforcements. It is very difficult for 100,000 naval troops to be trapped on the lake. Anyang Lake is rich in aquatic products and there are aquatic plants in the lake.
There are a lot of fish and shrimps, and the navy of Chu State is good at it. It can last for several months relying on the supplies in the lake. Moreover, even if wooden stakes are laid in the river, the navy of 100,000 people will really have to force it.
It is also possible to open up the river, but the casualties will be larger. This is why the Chu State coach did not take too much precautions at the beginning, because doing so can only create a trapped posture, and cannot really lock the army firmly, so
The initial goal was to deal with Chu's reinforcements, which arrived in a hurry and were ill-prepared in all aspects. But now if these 100,000 naval troops could escape easily, all plans would be ruined.
