The Yue State and the original Wu State intersected in the east, and the border was thousands of miles long. The most important boundary was the Dongyi Mountains. The mountains connected with the Huangling Mountains from north to south, becoming the natural boundary between the Yue State and the Chu State.
The Dongyi Mountain Range is high in the north and low in the south. It is connected to Jangryong Mountain in the north and can even be regarded as the mountain range extending from Jangryong Mountain to the south. However, because it becomes lower and lower towards the south, in the southern part of Annan County, it is no longer a mountain, but can only be regarded as hills.
So when it comes to where is the easiest place to enter Wu, it is naturally Huangling County further south.
But Lin Haoming now leads an army of 100,000 people. He had already secretly lurked back when Wei Qian ascended the throne. At that time, when fighting the Chu State, no one would notice the mobilization of troops and horses. Therefore, this war actually started more than half a year ago.
The decision was made when provoking the Chu State.
Several generals of the bandit-breaking army were already in Annan County, but Lin Haoming came secretly and reunited in Fushan County, where they had started the uprising together.
Nowadays, several people at that time have been made at least count's generals. Even Chen Lifeng, who surrendered at the beginning, has also been appointed as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. Compared with the small county magistrate back then, he is definitely a step down from his ancestors.
Speaking of Chen Lifeng, there is an interesting thing. Chen Lifeng's hometown is Jing'an County in the southwest of Yue State. This county magistrate who pretended to die for his country was actually publicized by the locals in Jing'an County. The Chen family's elders and younger ones even
He was so proud of him, and his son was recommended as an official because of this. After the defeat of the Western Army, the governor of Jing'an County surrendered quickly, and immediately arrested all the Chen family, old and young, and waited for Wei Gong's envoy to arrive.
Unexpectedly, the person who arrived turned out to be Chen Lifeng, who had been rumored for many years. This frightened the county governor at the time. Moreover, the Chen family suffered a lot because of their reputation. Chen Lifeng was so angry that he waved his hand.
, chopped off the heads of many people. Of course, the reason could not be that he abused the whole family. However, because of this incident, he got the name of a cruel official. Later, he was also specially transferred to rectify the army. This cruel official was known as
It is more practical, but because of this, military discipline is indeed strict where he is.
Now that several old friends gathered together, they naturally talked about what happened back then. They couldn't help but lament the desperate counterattack back then. They were really grateful to Lin Haoming for saving everyone single-handedly and later bringing wealth.
Now that the three counties of Wu and Chu were to be defeated, they naturally followed Lin Haoming's lead.
There were almost no roads in the northern part of the Dongyi Mountains between Chu and Yue, but to the south, some mountain trails and even roads appeared. From military considerations, some forts were built in the mountains between Wu and Yue in the early years.
Among them, Huangye City in the northern part of Annan County is considered the most famous because when Wu State was still there, Yue State failed to attack Huangye City three times. After that, Wu State was annexed by Chu State. Yue State once thought of taking this opportunity to occupy this strong fortress, but
Still failed, tens of thousands of troops were blocked by only a few thousand remnant soldiers who were mobilized, so Huangye City was called the first fortress in the Dongyi Mountains. Even if there is another war in the future, it will not be in Huangye City.
After the Chu-Vietnam War, Huangye City naturally became nervous. However, neither the merchants nor the guards thought that the Yue State would be stupid enough to launch an attack from here, and at this time, the Chu State had already mobilized an army of 300,000 troops.
They planned to go north, and Huangye City had received an order before to mobilize the Chu army in Wu. However, considering that Wu was still unsafe, they did not move in the end.
Huangye City is located in a canyon, with towering cliffs on both sides of the city. In autumn, yellow leaves fall like rain from the mountains, hence the name Huangye City.
Now is the time when spring flowers are blooming, but there are few flowers on the cliffs on both sides of Huangye City, so it cannot become a floating flower city.
At night, the city seemed a little deserted due to the curfew. There were only some sounds of people pushing cups and changing glasses in the pavilions of some wealthy households. But in the second half of the night, everything became especially quiet.
In the second half of the night, when the entire Huangye City became quiet, yellow leaves fell from the sky, but these were not real yellow leaves, but people wearing weird clothes.
The arms and legs of these clothes are connected together, and when opened they look like bats. Although they cannot fly, they can still control their body and glide into the city when they jump off the cliff.
As black shadows fell into the city one after another, a cry of killing soon erupted from the west gate of Huangye City. Then the people in Huangye City who were still sleeping were shocked to find that the gate of the fortress opened and a fire suddenly lit up outside the city.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of elite cavalry entered the city.
When daybreak, everyone discovered that Huangye City, which had nearly 20,000 garrison troops, had been captured by the Yue Kingdom.
Lin Haoming merged the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to create an equipment department. He made these bat gliders and recruited more than a thousand people to train, which led to this assault.
Thousands of masters who are not weak to the five gravity forces of the day after tomorrow descend from the sky at the city gate, so that they can seize the city gate with lightning speed.
During the day, Lin Haoming led the army into Huangye City, but after entering here, Lin Haoming just asked Ma Fengxing to stay here with five thousand people, and then immediately led the army across the Dongyi Mountains non-stop.
Next, in just two days, Lin Haoming defeated the two fortress towns behind Huangye City along the way. On the third day, he directly asked the surrender to deceive the Shandong County on the east side of the Dongyi Mountains. Seizing this county was equivalent to
The passage into the three counties of Wudi was completely opened and a foothold was gained.
At this time, Qu Xiong led the Chu army to spread out on the Chu-Yue border. Before he planned to move out, there was news that the Yue army had entered Wu. This surprised Qu Xiong, so he did not do anything.
After getting ready, we immediately attacked north.
Because the Yue State had been planning this matter a year earlier, the preparations in all aspects were actually quite sufficient. Although the Yue State had just settled down and should not have stood up again, the Chu State was pressing forward step by step. Of course, the most important thing was
What's more, the Yue Kingdom has a great victory over its opponent. As long as it can win, anything can be said.
After Lin Haoming occupied Shandong County, he did not attack immediately, but began to make repairs.
Soon the Chu army in Wu area immediately gathered together, with an army of 200,000 to attack the small Shandong County.
Shandong County is just a small county. Lin Haoming led an army of 100,000 here, which seemed extremely bloated. However, no one expected that Lin Haoming would use the small county to directly defeat the 200,000 Chu army.
These 200,000 Chu troops were the decisive force of the Chu State in Wu, but they were directly destroyed by Lin Haoming in one breath. This shocked everyone because before this, although Lin Haoming was considered a famous general in the Yue State, he was not
There is no very impressive record, but Zhu Feiling and Jiang Heng are regarded as the most powerful generals. However, because of such neglect, the three counties of Wudi have no decent defense at all.
