Whenever the two countries go to war, the naval forces here always have to fight several battles.
In the head-to-head confrontation on land, the Yue State was no match for the Wu State, and only the naval force could still struggle.
In the early morning of this day, accompanied by the rising and falling curses, the heavy fog filled the air and obscured the view, and dozens of small-winged boats quietly sailed towards Wuying.
"attack!"
Gou Jian, who had succeeded to the throne and became the king of Yue, bent his bow in person and shot the night watch soldiers on the archery tower of Wu Camp. His elite soldiers roared with excitement, rushed out like wolves and tigers, opened the water grate, and winged boats filed in.
The wing boat is a Yue design. It is no better than the chariot that flies into the sky and into the earth. This small boat can carry ten people, but it is flexible and light. It is fully equipped with two oarsmen, four crossbowmen, four shield soldiers, and a battle axe.
, not only can attack from a distance, but can also hook up with enemy ships and jump into gangs to fight during handover.
The greater threat was the fire starter placed beside their legs and the clay pot filled with black oil.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Wu army has been on the battlefield for a long time. Even if they are suddenly attacked, they will not panic. They immediately pick up their bows and arrows and organize a counterattack.
However, the heavy fog was the best cover, and the large shield on the wing boat blocked the arrows. The enemy was unstoppable and advanced rapidly.
Finally, the opponent's warship reached the throwing range.
The Vietnamese army picked up those igniting objects, threw them accurately, and poured kerosene on them.
Phew! Phew!
When these small-winged boats wormed their way into the Wu navy like loaches, they were already blazing with flames and blazing into the sky.
"The big ship is not in a good position to move, so get on the small boat to stop the enemy!"
Within the Wu camp, the general appeared and issued orders.
His voice was calm, and he had already anticipated the Vietnamese army's sneak attack.
Before Sun Wu conquered Chu, he had made solid arrangements. Although he claimed to send out troops with the strength of the whole country, he also left behind elite defenders in case of unexpected events.
The first thing they were guarding against was the Yue Kingdom in the south, the second was the Dongyi tribes in the north, and the third was the northwest countries, including Jiang.
Among them, the scoundrel Yue is the most likely to take advantage of the situation, so the guards at Wu Camp at Wanghai Bay can be said to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
At this moment, the sea of fire spread, and Wu Guo's warships were as fast as arrows, directly facing them.
The world-famous sword and shield bearer of the Wu Kingdom stood on top and looked at the approach of the Yue people with disdain.
"kill!"
King Gou Jian of Yue had a cruel look in his eyes and shouted angrily.
Close combat.
Suddenly, the screams of death were heard one after another, and corpses fell to the water one after another.
It was the Yue people who suffered heavy casualties.
This is not the suppression of tactical formations, but a pure strength gap.
The sword and shield hand holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, integrating offense and defense. It is the result of Sun Wu's ten years of military training. Even the elites of the Chu Kingdom cannot please him.
The Yue Kingdom's cooperation of two people, one offensive and one defensive, is simply not enough to fight.
According to normal development, it was not until the Yue girls entered the palace and taught swordsmanship that the gap in individual combat power was made up. Now...
The Wu people's eyes were ferocious, their swords were shining like waterfalls, and they started killing.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
Now, the little fish of the Wu Kingdom is planning to devour the big fish, the Chu Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom, which is just like a shrimp, actually wants to take advantage of it?
I just don’t know what it means!
Die! Die! Die!
Not only was the head-on confrontation about to collapse, deep in the Wu camp, ancient curses also sounded. The sea breeze blew backwards, and the outer edge of the warship, which had been burned like a torch, rolled up thick smoke, which was not only pungent and choking, but also blocked.
The retreat route of the Vietnamese army.
Shooting yourself in the foot.
This kind of duel in which the wind and rain are summoned, and the clouds and fog are blown, is the prototype of the immortal martial arts against the enemy.
The Vietnamese army was still completely defeated!
"Isn't it possible after all?"
The ship on which King Gou Jian of Yue was riding retreated from the battlefield first. Looking at the scene of overwhelming defeat, his body swayed.
This time he also mobilized the whole country's strength. Not only did he attack by water, but he also had 30,000 elite troops on land, preparing to attack Gusu.
It is true that the State of Yue cannot swallow up the State of Wu, but this time the State of Wu defeated the Chu army and the momentum of its long march will surely make the princes and other countries wary.
By that time, the two superpowers of Jin and Qi will inevitably support one country and contain the rising state of Wu.
The most suitable one is undoubtedly Yue.
This overall idea is very correct, but unfortunately, the strength is completely insufficient.
Thanks to the great development of Wu Zixu and the training of elite troops by Sun Wu, the State of Wu was able to suppress the State of Chu on local battlefields, and then it had the hope of seizing the royal city and annexing Chu. However, the gap between Wu and Yue was so huge that it was despairing, and any conspiracy or calculation would be impossible.
useless.
If you can't even pose a threat, what's the use of supporting you?
"Do you crave power?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a low and obscure voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"who?"
King Gou Jian of Yue was startled, drew out his sword from his waist, and looked around vigilantly.
"Look down!"
The sound sounded again, but it came from beneath my feet.
King Gou Jian of Yue retreated suddenly. Looking down, he saw a toad looking straight at him with bulging eyes.
toad?
Spoken words?
"monster?"
Gou Jian's thoughts changed rapidly, his face changed drastically, and he blurted out.
When Chu was first established, the southern barbarian land was filled with monsters that preyed on people. Later, the kings of Chu overcame thorns and thorns and used the power of the Fire Spirit Pearl to drive them away.
Unexpectedly, the Chu Kingdom is in turmoil now, and the monster that has disappeared for thousands of years appears again!
"We are not monsters, we are beasts created by God Shen Nong. In ancient times, the earth was dominated by our tribe!"
The toad stuck out its long tongue and refuted angrily.
"What's your purpose here?"
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, did not know about ancient things and was not interested in knowing about them. His eyes flickered and he asked in a solemn voice.
He actually already had a guess in his mind.
Sure enough, Toad's bulging belly heaved and said, "We will help you win the war!"
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, asked coldly: "What do you want?"
Toad shook his head, showing his humane shrewdness: "I don't want anything, just help!"
But in Gou Jian's eyes, this shrewdness seemed so stupid.
It is difficult for the beast race to develop spiritual wisdom. Since Chi You opened up the Demon Realm, the ancient ferocious beasts have entered the Demon Realm. What is left behind are all weak and insignificant races. They are quickly swept away by the human race and left to their own devices.
live.
Now these monsters still want to play tricks on him. They say they don't want anything, but in fact they want everything?
"I will not seclude myself from the human race, nor do I want to enmity with you monsters, go back!"
King Gou Jian of Yue spoke righteously and refused directly.
"There will be times when you regret it!"
The toad was furious, jumped on all fours, fell into the water, and disappeared.
"While the Chu Kingdom was in chaos, monsters also appeared!"
Gou Jian watched the toad disappear, his eyes flickering, and a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Fight!
If you both lose in the fight, my country will still have a chance!
However, at this moment, chaos broke out in the Wu army camp.
That was not caused by the Vietnamese army, but the news that came, which made the whole camp excited.
The voice spread far away to the river, and just a few words made Yue King Goujian's face turn ashen:
