Wu Yuan was eager for revenge. Let alone meeting Ye Xu, even if Li Ran stood in front of him at this moment, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.
At this moment, his eyes were sharp, as if he was about to spit out fire. When Sun Wu saw this, he couldn't help being secretly surprised, and suddenly felt uneasy.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the decisive battle with the Chu army and a good friend of Wu Yuan, he could certainly understand Wu Yuan's thoughts, so he didn't say much.
At this time, the army led by Nangwa quickly pursued into the high mountains.
Because he was eager for success, he launched an offensive rashly. However, Sun Wu had already set up an ambush between the two mountains and was waiting for work, so he blocked the Chu army's attack.
The Chu army marched in a hurry and was ambushed again, so they had no fighting spirit. They only fought for a few rounds and were defeated.
Nangwa was very angry when he saw that the Chu army was so slack.
Nang Wa gathered his soldiers and prepared to lead the charge himself. However, Sun Wu and his soldiers were already in full formation at this moment.
Although the Wu army traveled a long distance to get here, it was commonplace for them to travel through the mountains. Moreover, they had abandoned their chariots before, so they were more flexible and maneuverable.
In comparison, the Chu army, desperate for survival in Nangwa, was eager to cross the river and plunged into the mountains to pursue the Wu division. Therefore, even the chariots became a burden, but they could not move them.
give up.
Therefore, for the Wu people, they became a side waiting for work. On the contrary, the Chu army became a tired army.
Moreover, to talk about "tiring Chu", we have to talk about the strategy of tiring Chu that Sun Wu implemented for Wu in the past few years.
It turned out that after Wu State destroyed Xu State and Zhongwu State, they used that as a stronghold and divided into three armies to harass the Chu army in turn.
The so-called "Tired Chu Strategy" is that when the first unit of the Wu Army attacked the Chu territory, the Chu State sent a large army to attack. After the Chu Army was dispatched, the Wu Army retreated. When the Chu Army returned, the Wu Army's
The second army invaded the Chu Kingdom from another direction. With the convenience of the boat division, they took turns harassing the Chu Kingdom for several years.
The Wu army's back and forth not only forced the Chu state to voluntarily abandon Yi, Qian and other places, but also in order to deal with the frequent harassment of the Wu army for years, the Chu state was contained and consumed a large amount of military power in the east, and the Chu army soldiers even
Because of this, I am exhausted from running around.
Furthermore, Ling Yin Nangwa, who is leading the army now, is not a person who is good at fighting.
Moreover, he once caused the people of the country to be dissatisfied with him because of forcing Que Wan to death. Now, most of the Chu soldiers he led were from Yingdu. Therefore, they had a lot of criticism of Nangwa.
Therefore, the Chu army's morale was inconsistent.
As for the Wu division, King Helu of Wu wanted to avenge his father, Zhu Fan, and for a while the entire Wu army shared the same hatred.
As for Cai Guo and Tang Guo, if you think that Sun Wu also decided to attack them temporarily, you would be completely wrong.
Just because King Zhen of Chu succeeded to the throne, the two kings of Cai and Tang came to Chu to congratulate them. Unexpectedly, after Nangwa learned that they had BMWs and jade pendants, he openly asked them for bribes.
Naturally, the two monarchs were unwilling to agree to Nang Wa, so Nang Wa slandered Chu Wang Zhen, saying that Cai and Tang Gong would take advantage of Chu's weakness to defect to Jin.
Therefore, the two monarchs and marquises were directly imprisoned by Nangwa for three years, and they were finally able to escape after obediently handing over their belongings to Nangwa.
Faced with all kinds of unjust acts committed by the Chu State, the Cai State and the Tang State were naturally extremely indignant towards the Chu State, which naturally accelerated the speed at which the two countries turned their backs on the Chu State.
Therefore, the reason why Sun Wu decided to take the Cai State first, then abandon the boat and sail across the Fangcheng Mountain to the Han River, is that he was actually well prepared.
Therefore, in the land of Baiju, with the help of the Wu army from the local snake Cai Ren, how could the Chu army be the opponent of the Wu army? From Xiaobie Mountain to Dabie Mountain, they suffered three defeats in three consecutive battles!
When Nang Wa saw this, he couldn't help but become a little scared.
But when Sun Wu was victorious, he did not rush forward because of greed for success. With a single order, he led his troops back to Baiju.
Nangwa also wanted to withdraw his troops at this time and wait for Ye Xu to arrive before making further arrangements. At this time, the doctor Shi Huang hurriedly advised:
"When the country was at peace, the adults were vying for power. Now that the battle is unfavorable, they retreat. This is a capital crime! Now the only way to stabilize one's position is to fight to the death with the Wu army!"
Dr. Hei of Wucheng also advised in the same way:
"Yes, although the Wu army won three games, our Chu army's strength was not greatly depleted, and now they have chosen to withdraw? It means that they have become the last force in the war! We should take the opportunity to pursue it! Instead of waiting for Shen Yinxu to come and snatch it.
Take the credit for this!”
Ling Yin Nangwa himself had no idea about the war, and now that his own future was involved, he naturally became reckless again and actually ordered the entire army to pursue Baiju!
…
On the other hand, although there were three battles and three victories from Xiaobie Mountain to Dabie Mountain, King Helu of Wu was still uneasy. After all, the Chu soldiers were numerous and powerful, and now that they had caught up with Bai Ju, he was likely to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
potential.
However, Sun Wu was quite confident about this:
"This nangwa actually dares to chase after him! Haha, it's just as the general expected!"
King Wu Helu was puzzled and said:
"Why did Sun Qing say that?"
Sun Wu said:
"Nangwa is unpopular, and the morale of the Chu army is low. They lost three of the three battles in the past, and their fighting spirit has long been gone! Now we only need to take the initiative to attack, and we will definitely win a complete victory!"
When King Helu of Wu heard this, he was half-convinced.
"this……"
King Wu Helu wanted to say "not necessarily", but he did not want to show the slightest distrust in front of Sun Wu. Therefore, he had to temporarily change his words:
"Since Chang Qing has made this judgment, it makes sense! Then... based on what Chang Qing sees, what should we do now? Who can be the vanguard?"
Sun Wu originally wanted to recommend Wu Yuan, but after thinking about what Wu Yuan said before, he felt that this was the decisive moment and could not tolerate any distraction, so he immediately changed his recommendation and said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Wu Wang Yimo's son, Wang Zichen, can take on this important task! The king can order him to lead five thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, and the general will personally lead the main force to follow him.
After that, the Chu army will be defeated!"
When King Wu Helu heard this, he suddenly looked at his younger brother Wang Zichen. However, he could not make a decision for the moment.
Just because Wang Zichen is the son of Wu Wang Yimo, in terms of seniority, Wu Wang Helu's father is Zhufan, the eldest brother. And Wang Zichen's father Yimo is the youngest, so Wu Wang Helu, as the eldest son and eldest grandson in the family, naturally
He is senior to Wang Zichen.
And as the saying goes, an eldest brother is like a father, so Wu Wang Helu naturally took great care of his younger brother. Naturally, he was worried that he would make mistakes as a vanguard in this vicious battle.
At this time, Wang Zichen suddenly came out of the queue and said:
"My brother is willing to be the pioneer! The so-called 'I act righteously and do not wait for orders' is what I mean. If I die today, the Kingdom of Chu will be destroyed!"
King Wu's house was silent for a while. Seeing his brother's determination, he could only nod slightly and call out:
"Chen'er!"
When Wang Zichen heard this, he immediately responded:
"Brother Chen is here!"
King Wu Helu ordered:
"Brother Chen can lead five thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard! Sun Changqing will lead the main force to support my brother! Wu Zixu will lead the remaining soldiers to take charge of the rear..."
Wang Zichen, Sun Wu and Wu Yuan received their orders respectively, but the doctor Bo Pu said worriedly:
"Your Majesty, with such an arrangement, your Majesty will only have..."
King Wu Helu waved his hands and said:
"The enemy is facing us, and the safety of our people is not important! For our country, Wu, this battle can only succeed but not fail! The whole army must attack, and the three armies must fight with their lives!"
Bo Pu knew that King Wu was determined, so he said no more.
However, Wang Zichen led 5,000 elite troops to attack the Chu camp directly. However, because Chu's commander Yin Nangwa had just arrived at Baiju and had not yet established his position, he was directly attacked by the Wu army. The entire army was in chaos.
It can be said to collapse at the first touch.
Sun Wu, who was sitting behind, saw that Wang Zichen had succeeded, so he led the main force to cover up and kill him.
On the Chu side, Emperor Shi failed to resist and died in battle. Ling Yin Nangwa regretted it too much and had to abandon the army and flee directly to Zheng for refuge.
The Chu army, which had no commander in command, had no intention of fighting at this moment and had no choice but to flee.
Sun Wu hurriedly ordered people to pursue him all the way to the edge of Qingfa River southwest of Baiju.
However, Sun Wu suddenly told Wu Jun to stand still at this time!
Seeing that the Wu army was no longer approaching, the Chu troops forced their way across the river. Just as they were halfway across the river, Sun Wu immediately attacked them with his troops and captured nearly half of the Chu army!
The Chu army who were lucky enough to cross the river fled to Yongxi in a crowd. They were preparing to bury pots to make rice there. Unexpectedly, Wang Zichen was also very fast and caught up with them directly!
The Chu army had no choice but to flee in panic again.
However, the Wu army actually ate the food cooked by the Chu army and continued to pursue it.
Sun Wu led the main force behind Wang Zichen. Before arriving at Yongxi, he ordered 5,000 people to rush to Daxi, specifically to block Ye Xu who came to support him.
After Ye Xu learned that Ling Yin Nangwa was forcibly crossing the river, he knew that the situation was not good and wanted to rush to the front line, but he was helplessly blocked by stubborn resistance.
Although Ye Xu was also good at commanding troops to fight, the troops he brought to Ye Yi in a hurry were not enough, so he could only look forward to it and sigh.
