Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 4: Goddess
The person who frightened Wu Jun the most was Jiang Meiliang.
A little-known young general used a spear so well that he challenged the 18 generals of the Wu army, but none of them could fight for ten rounds under him. He was so frightened that no one of the 1,000 generals of the Wu army dared to challenge him again.
This battle was Jiang Meiliang's battle to become a god. On this day, Wu Jun was completely frightened, and the name of the God of War spread like wildfire. From then on, Wu Jun could not avoid fighting.
Wu Jun relied on his military superiority to avoid fighting, and Jiang Jun could hardly gain any substantial gains. After half a year of continuous confrontation, the war completely fell into a stalemate.
War is a huge consumption. Even if it is just a confrontation between two armies, the daily consumption is staggering. It is a huge test for the logistics supply capacity.
Jiang Guo's front line was long and the logistics pressure was extremely heavy, so he gradually began to want to withdraw his troops.
The Wu State's tactics were to bring down Jiang Jun through attrition. They were always paying attention to Jiang Jun's movements, and they took advantage of Jiang Jun's withdrawal to pursue him.
Although Jiang Jun was on guard, there was a huge gap in strength after all, which caused a lot of losses. Fortunately, he successfully withdrew into Qixia Pass.
Wu Jun was overjoyed and began to attack Qixia Pass again.
It's just that Wu Jun made a wrong calculation. This retreat was a plan. Jiang Jun sent a surprise force, led by Jiang Meiliang, to hide.
The Wu army approached Qixia Pass and the battle line was stretched. Jiang Meiliang captured the unsuspecting Wuheng City in one fell swoop.
Wuheng City was the logistics base of the Wu army. After it was captured, a fire burned all the strategic supplies.
The Wu army, which had lost supplies, retreated hastily, and was pursued by the Jiang army at Qixia Pass. Fortunately, the Wu army was not idle, and they fought and retreated, so the losses were not great.
It's just that the fighting seriously slowed down their retreat, and they were already running low on food and grass. Fortunately, they were about to retreat to Huang Heng City, so they were relieved.
But at this moment, an ambush force came out. It was the strange force led by Jiang Meiliang. They had been in ambush here for a long time.
The Wu army, which was already demoralized, was stunned by the killing. Especially after seeing the god of war Jiang Meiliang, it was impossible to fight. The main force of the Jiang army in the rear also attacked across the board, and the Wu army was in chaos.
This battle completely defeated Wu's army, killing Wu's army corpses all over the field, with millions of casualties and casualties. Everyone was frightened and had no fighting spirit at all.
The three thousand miles of red land between Jiang and Wu is a natural battlefield. The reason why both sides have not been able to conquer each other's territory over the years is because of this long supply line.
Even if you capture the opponent's city, you won't be able to defend it at all. If you can't completely kill the opponent in one go, as long as the war reaches a stalemate, you will eventually have no choice but to retreat.
It was the same this time. Jiang Jun did not occupy Wuheng City, but quickly withdrew to Qixia Pass.
This battle severely damaged Wu's army, making it impossible to organize a large-scale battle for the time being, and the two sides achieved temporary peace.
But obviously Wu State would not give up. The reason why they went to war this time was because of political problems in Jiang State.
The emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and was unable to go to court. The struggle for imperial power caused domestic turmoil. This was an excellent opportunity for the State of Wu.
The war was temporarily over, and the huge military expenditure overwhelmed the already weak Jiang State. The army had to temporarily withdraw from Qixia Pass, leaving only 100,000 elite border troops to guard it.
At this moment, Wu Jun already knew that Jiang Meiliang was actually a woman, and the only daughter of a prince, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Jiang Kingdom. After being shocked, the title of goddess spread like wildfire.
