When Zhou came to the city, the Chu people who were strengthening the river embankment suddenly became panicked. It was very close to Yingshui River and the waterway was relatively developed.
After a brief panic, an officer in armor came to the embankment and knelt down on one knee to salute a middle-aged man in fine clothes: "Lord! There is an attack by a boat master at the bottom of the Huaihe River!"
"Huh?! Kureto?!"
"It's not a Wu person...it's a Wu person!"
"Um?!"
The officer had a confused look on his face, and after describing it with difficulty, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes finally understood: "It's actually Wu Guojiang Yinzi?"
Frowning slightly, the middle-aged man said seriously: "I heard this person called for attacking Cai, this trip..."
"Lord! You must be on guard!"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. What can't Li Jie, a birdman, do? His subordinate Shah can destroy the Shulong Kingdom for fun, so why can't he do it when he passes by Zhoulai City?
"How effective are Gongshu's counterfeit utensils?"
"My lord, although it is not as powerful as the weapon that can force Yangcheng, it is not far behind."
"Stop everything on the river embankment, everyone enter the city!"
"Hi!"
"Order your troops to enter Dongxiaocheng to prepare for any eventuality!"
"Hi!"
After the officers left, some scholars on the left and right came forward. After saluting, they asked: "My lord, there have been many rumors recently that the countries on the Huaihe River have formed an alliance and want to fight against the State of Cai with Jiangyinzi. The city of Zhoulai is the territory of the State of Chu.
If Jiang Yinzi offends a powerful enemy, it would be unwise."
"Do you think Li Jie's actions have traces to follow?"
The middle-aged man looked deeply and sighed: "How can a savage from Wu use etiquette to speculate?"
Do you want to be reasonable? People are talking to you about physics.
It's impossible to explain at all.
All the scholars looked stunned, and then nodded slightly. Common sense is indeed only useful to normal people. Only in this way can there be traces, but is Jiangyinzi Li Jie a normal person?
Obviously not.
Who knows how this guy came out, who knows how this guy suddenly became the confidant of the old monster Gou Chen, who knows how this guy broke the pattern of the Wu Kingdom and became a high lord, who knows why this guy is not in Wu.
The servant of the country went abroad to wander around.
The key question is, what the hell is it like?
Judging from the information currently available to all countries, at least Tan has become the king of Wu in the soup pot, while Yang is half stewed and almost cooked.
Xue Guo...Xue Guo is completely dead, and there are no bones and dregs left that have been eaten. Even the king of Xue Guo is preparing to go south to work. At this time, he is probably already on the boat heading south in Hangou, preparing to enter Gusu City to have a good rest.
.
The nobles of the Chu State who came to the city from Zhouzhou began to strengthen patrols in the spirit of preferring to believe what they had rather than what they didn't. At the same time, they set up a large number of obstacles around the city walls. Antlers were always needed to resist horses, and the river ditches were filled with temporary piles.
head to prevent Li Jie's ships from rushing in directly.
However, after completing these tasks, the Chu army standing at the top of the city did not breathe a sigh of relief. Especially the garrison in the small southeastern city took a breath of cold air on the observation deck.
As far as the eye can see, a long dragon is meandering forward from Huaixia. There may be six or seven hundred "big ships" alone, and there are also a large number of strange boats, bamboo rafts, rafts, and even things like wooden barrels.
"This is to attack Cai——"
One of the Chu soldiers exclaimed that there were more than a thousand ships visible to the naked eye. This scale was no different from when the old monster went crazy, and even exceeded it in terms of the number of ships.
Because there was an old man beside this Chu army. After he stretched out his hand to slightly measure the length of the fleet, he also said with a trembling voice: "The boats are connected for twenty or thirty miles, and the king ordered a strong man. It's so terrifying..."
Looking down from a high position, the entire fleet is like a giant python out for food, swimming slowly on the Huai River, heading towards Zhoulai City, and advancing slowly.
It's just that this giant python is swimming on the south bank of the Huai River, while Zhou Laicheng is on the north bank.
"Gentlemen——"
The Chu army officer was about to give a call and shout slogans to boost morale, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't shout them out.
Because the Chu soldiers also saw the staggering size of the fleet at this moment, this was definitely not an attack on Cai!
The soldiers are not stupid. Attack Cai on this scale?! One-tenth is enough! No, one-twentieth is enough!
The soldiers could not tell how many people there were, but they could feel that there were many, very many, too many for Cai Guo to bear.
"This this……"
"Mr. Gongshu!"
"This...could this be an attack on Chu?"
"Ah?! Shangxie——"
There was a panic in the small town in the southeast. Immediately, a message was sent to Zhou Lai City. After entering the city, the soldiers of the cavalry message hurriedly reported: "Wu, the Wu people have a boat division with more than a thousand large and small boats. The boats and boats are connected for twenty or thirty miles. The number of soldiers has not yet been reached."
Know!"
"ah?!"
The middle-aged man in fine clothes who was standing suddenly exclaimed and fell down on the desk, "This... this is an attack on Chu, an attack on Chu!"
"Help! Help! Help!"
He asked for help three times. At this moment, the Chu State still has troops stationed in all the countries on the Huaihe River. The number is not large, but there are thousands or hundreds of people in each place. In total, there are thousands of soldiers and horses. Plus the troops from the countries on the Huaihe River.
It is not too difficult to gather tens of thousands of people from a ragtag group of people.
However, it may be too late in time. If the reinforcements don't arrive and Zhou Lai City has been breached, wouldn't the reinforcements also be in trouble?
"My lord, why not abandon the city! Go to the Kingdom of Polygonum!"
One man came out and said seriously, "We will ask for help first, gather the reinforcements, and resolve the battle with Li in Liao State! If we win, we will return to the state and come to the city!"
"Can!"
The middle-aged man in colorful clothes said quickly, "Open the city gate quickly and order the people in the city to follow me westward!"
"Hi!"
There was a commotion in Zhou Lai City. Li Jie took a telescope to investigate and only saw a small southeastern city. This kind of acropolis was very disgusting. If the acropolis was not destroyed, it would be troublesome to fight in Zhou Lai City.
"Blow up this small town first."
"yes!"
Li Jie made up his mind to deal with the small town first, and then Zhoulaicheng. He would take a good hot bath in Zhoulaicheng at night. It was sticky in the summer, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't wash it off.
This damn heavy rainstorm is really bad, but it’s good that the heavy rainstorm is only heavy rainfall in local areas and has not spread to Zhoulaicheng.
At this moment, the martyrs were in high spirits, and the followers were eager to try and conquer the city, so they no longer had to float on the ship.
So disgusting, quite disgusting, very disgusting!
Land, dry land, has become a luxury and enjoyment, which is really unheard of.
"Um?!"
When the fleet began to approach the north shore, Li Jie put away his telescope and suddenly looked strange: "What the hell is this?! Why is the city gate wide open? Didn't you see my troops passing by? Could it be that Chu
Are the Chinese people stupid enough to think that my thousands and hundreds of ships are harmless to humans and animals?"
After continuing for some distance, Li Jie could already see Zhou Laicheng. After taking a closer look, Li Jie yelled: "Fuck! You bastard from Chu State actually ran away! Shameless!"
After scolding, County Magistrate Li yelled: "Get ready to attack——"
"Go into battle lightly and catch the Chu people fleeing to the west! Don't let go of a fish that slips through the net!"
"yes!"
When the fleet of twenty or thirty miles long approached, it really brought despair to the enemy.
That sense of oppression caused the defenders of the small southeastern town to give up resistance.
There was no other way. They said they were going to defend the rear of the large army, but there were only about 300 of them in total. How could they defeat the 2,000-strong "Yi Dan Battalion" that was just on the opposite side just to land on the beach?
"Damn it! I really ran away! Damn it!"
While Li Jie was yelling and cursing, he saw the gates of Zhoulai City opened wide, and the defenders of the small southeastern town surrendered obediently.
