ps: There was a clerical error in the last chapter. The battlefield where the Julu Navy of Qi State attacked Handan County in South Korea took place on the Yellow River, not the Yangtze River. ()?()?()?()?() I was so confused that I made a mistake.
In addition, after scraping, I discovered that it was not the cold that caused the splitting headache, but the cervical spine.
The following text
The tenth day of the ninth lunar month was the day set by King Lu Xi of Qi to launch a large-scale attack on the land south of the Hui River in Chu State.
On this day, the 50,000 Sichuan Northern Archers attached to the Wei State will launch an offensive against Chu in Shangshui County, while East Vietnam and West Vietnam will also launch attacks on the nearby Chu State's strategic locations, and will compete with the Huihe battlefield.
The allied forces of Qi, Lu, and Wei here echo each other from a distance.
Let’s not mention the other battlefields for the moment, let’s talk about the Huihe battlefield first.
On the morning of the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, around Chen time, the Qi, Lu, and Wei armies, now totaling about 400,000 people, were formally arrayed on the north bank of the Huihe River, waiting for the oath-taking ceremony personally presided over by King Lu Xi of Qi.
To be honest, today's swearing-in was just a formality, because yesterday, on the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, King Lu Xi of Qi had already gathered in his camp on the north bank of the Hui River, Zhi County, and Qi County.
, swore an oath to the soldiers of the Qi, Lu, Wei and Three Kingdoms allied armies, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the three countries' armies.
Of course, in Zhao Hongrun's view, it was not so much Qi King Lu Xi's speech that boosted the morale of the three armies, but something more affordable: fine wine and fresh meat.
Yesterday, King Lu Xi of Qi didn't know what he was thinking. He asked the army in charge of logistics to transport countless livestock, poultry, and jars of wine from Qi in advance. He distributed these things to the three armies so that the soldiers would have a good life.
A day of eating and drinking.
Let the 400,000 troops eat and drink freely. You can imagine how many poultry, livestock, and drinks Qi State consumed on this day. Again, except for the wealthy Qi State, I believe no country can afford such consumption.
.
To say the least, even if I could afford it, I probably wouldn't be able to give such an order.
But King Lu Xi of Qi just did this. Thanks to this, Zhao Hongrun, who had not tasted meat for a long time, finally returned the favor and ate and drank as much as he wanted to avoid taking advantage of the bastard.
It has to be said that although Qi King Lu Xi's actions caused Qi to pay a heavy economic price, it also made his prestige among the three armies rise sharply. For example, in the Wei army, even if Tian Dan and the Qi army on the east road were seen very different,
The disgusted Wei Jun also unanimously gave a thumbs up when he mentioned Qi King Lu Xi.
Perhaps, the requirements of soldiers in this era were really very low. They just wanted to have a good meal before going to the battlefield. Even if their military luck was not good and they died on the battlefield, they could still be well-fed.
But having said that, except for King Lu Xi of Qi, few people are willing to pay such a high price. They would rather shout a few slogans about how many enemy soldiers they kill and get rewards, unlike King Lu Xi of Qi, who just give away the rewards directly.
In front of you, it shows sincerity.
Because the soldiers had been rewarded at the three army stations yesterday, today's pre-war encouragement from Qi King Lu Xi became very concise.
Just one sentence: Win this battle and reunite with your family!
As the saying goes, words are rough but reasoning is not rough. This sentence by Qi King Lu Xi was not necessarily literary, but it was strongly recognized by the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Lu and Wei.
Waiting for the messengers to convey the words of Qi King Lu Xi to every corner of the three armies, the soldiers' shouts came and went, like ocean waves, and their morale was so high that it could almost be said to have reached its peak.
No wonder it was set on the tenth day of September and it turned out to be this level.
Listening to the deafening shouts in his ears, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked in the direction of Qi King Lu Xi. At this moment, he was staying on the side of the Wei army, at least ten miles away from Qi King Lu Xi.
I remember a few days ago, when Ji Zhao, the brother of the Sixth Prince, conveyed to Zhao Hongrun the plan of King Lu Xi of Qi and agreed to officially cross the Huihe River on the tenth day of September, Zhao Hongrun felt a little puzzled.
Because in his opinion, Qi King Lu Xi should be racing against time now, but he can still be patient and make preparations before the war?
Until now, Zhao Hongrun finally understood.
It turns out that in addition to making preparations for the war, King Lu Xi of Qi was also waiting to spend the special day of September 9th.
The Double Ninth Festival, which falls on the ninth day of September, has always been a day for the people of the Central Plains countries to reunite and go out for entertainment. Therefore, on this day, the soldiers and generals of the three armies thought of their families and naturally had no intention of fighting.
Therefore, King Lu Xi of Qi postponed the date of sending his army south to the tenth day of September, and rewarded the entire army on the ninth day of September. In addition, he added today's pledge to win the battle and go home to reunite with his family.
, cleverly took advantage of the soldiers' thoughts about their families, and the morale among the generals was raised to an unreasonable level.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun praised in his heart: It is rumored that King Lu Xi of Qi is the wisest and wisest among the kings of Qi State, which is indeed unusual.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Three long bugles sounded to Zhao Hongrun's ears from more than ten miles away.
here we go!
Zhao Hongrun's expression changed, and he immediately put on a serious face.
Although the Qi, Lu, and Wei armies just want to cross the Hui River today, you must know that the Hui River in front of you is the closest river to Shouxing, the capital of the King of Chu. Crossing this river means that
We have arrived at the capital of Chu State.
Therefore, if you think about it, you will know that this river must be stationed with the Chu navy.
Therefore, we must cross the Huihe River by force!
Force a breakthrough!
"pontoon!"
Following Zhao Hongrun's order, hundreds of Wei troops slowly pushed a giant pontoon bridge tens of feet long and more than twenty feet wide into the river using rolling logs laid underneath.
The craftsmen of the State of Lu had already measured the width of the Huihe River. Therefore, the length of this pontoon bridge was exactly the width of the Huihe River, just a little more. Therefore, as long as the pontoon bridge was pushed into the river, this giant pontoon bridge would be
The floating bridge will get stuck on both sides of the river by itself due to flowing water.
The only prerequisite is that no troublemakers will appear during this period.
However, will the Chu soldiers on the south bank of the Huihe River allow the Qi, Lu, and Wei armies to cross the Huihe River so easily? Will the Chu navy in the Huihe River Basin allow the Qi, Lu, and Wei armies to cross the Huihe River so easily?
Of course not!
Therefore, at this moment, every second counts!
"Team Ran Teng, Team Xiang Li, Team Zhang Ming!"
Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and ordered, because he had already vaguely felt that before long, the Chu army would notice the movement here and rush to intercept it.
"yes!"
Not far from Zhao Hongrun's main formation, Ran Teng, Xiang Li, and Zhang Ming, three thousand-man generals, led their respective thousand-man teams and rushed to the other side first.
As expected by Zhao Hongrun, these three thousand-man troops had just set foot on the land on the other side, and a troop of soldiers and horses appeared far away on the south bank of the Huihe River.
Without even thinking about it, it must be the Chu ** team coming to intercept.
"Team Ran Teng! Come with me!"
"Xiang Liqiu! Follow closely!"
"Team Zhang Ming! Keep up, keep up!"
Three elite merchant navy troops of a thousand men immediately rushed towards the Chu army in the distance, not seeking to kill many enemies, but just to hinder the Chu army from reaching the river bank.
At the same time, Qu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling Army, and Wu Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Shangshui Army, invariably urged their soldiers to cross the river quickly on the pontoon bridge.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Follow up, keep up!"
"Stop whining! Hurry!"
In the blink of an eye, the pontoon bridge was filled with the figures of Wei Jun.
To be honest, this pontoon bridge is not stable. With the impact of the river water, the bridge deck rises and falls.
It can be clearly seen that the faces of the Wei soldiers running across the pontoon were all pale, and some soldiers even slipped due to their unstable center of gravity and accidentally fell into the water.
But at this time, there is no time to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water. They can only pray to God for blessing, or let the soldiers who accidentally fell into the water wish for their own blessings.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Follow up, keep up!"
More and more Wei soldiers successfully passed the pontoon bridge and set foot on the land on the south bank of the Huihe River.
But this cannot be regarded as a victory for the Wei army, because the Wei army is about to face the attack of the Chu army. It is not difficult to set foot on the land on the south bank of the Wei River. What is difficult is how to gain a foothold on this land. If the Chu army kills them all, even if
No matter how many Wei troops set foot on this land, it will not make any sense.
Therefore, after leading their troops to the land on the other side, generals such as Yan Mo, Lu Zhan, and Xu Jiong immediately organized formations to quickly support Ran Teng and other three thousand-man troops in front.
If they slow down for a moment, Ran Teng's three thousand-man troops will be swallowed up by the massive Chu army, no matter how elite they are.
Fortunately, the Wei army crossed the river very quickly and had a clear division of labor. Any Wei soldier who set foot on the land on the other side immediately jumped into the battlefield to block the Chu army in the distance.
However, Zhao Hongrun's expression was still solemn and did not improve at all.
It’s almost time to come…
His eyes were looking to the west, towards the upper reaches of the Huihe River.
Suddenly, several Qingya soldiers wearing gray leather armor quickly passed through the Wei army's formation, came to Zhao Hongrun in a hurry, clasped their fists and said, "Your Highness! A Chu warship has been discovered on the upper reaches of the Huihe River!"
Coming!
Zhao Hongrun tensed up and said to the Zong guards and King Su guards behind him: "Leave this to Qu Cheng and Wu Ji, let's go!... Urging Qu Cheng and Wu Ji, they quickly pulled up the iron lock across the river,
Don’t let the pontoon bridge be destroyed by a Chu warship!”
After saying that, he rushed to the upper reaches of the Huihe River.
At this time, in the upper reaches of the Huihe River, about five or six miles away from where Zhao Hongrun was, Yuan Zongwei Gao Kuo, who now served as a general of 2,000 men in the Shang Shui Army, had recruited several men and was already commanding his soldiers.
Nearly two hundred Lu heavy guns were aimed in the upstream direction.
Suddenly, a soldier pointed upstream and exclaimed: "High general, kind general, Chu Chuan! Chu Chuan!"
After hearing this, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao turned their heads and looked upstream, and shouted in unison: "Everyone is ready!"
The wind is blowing from the west today, and this Chu fleet is coming in the wind at a very fast speed.
Although this fleet only had about twenty large ships, the size of those large ships made Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao secretly shocked: the scale was almost four times that of their Wei warships!
"Target's first ship!... The front team's twenty heavy guns fire a salvo, don't miss!"
"put!"
Following Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao's orders, only a few puffs were heard, and twenty arrows as thick as arms were shot out. It was clearly visible that in an instant, the Chu ship in the distance
The first ship of the team was immediately hit by more than a dozen missiles, and the hull was greatly damaged. The river water quickly poured into the holes, and half of the warship sank in the blink of an eye.
However, even so, the Chu warship did not slow down and continued to rush downstream. Obviously, these Chu troops were risking their lives and desperately trying to crash the pontoon bridge downstream.
This war entered a fever pitch as soon as the two sides came into contact. (To be continued.)
