Chapter 349: Falling Down
Huaishui passed through Zhongli, and the Chu army had no boat to pursue, so they had to turn east along Huaishui and jointly attack Zhongli with Xiang Guan and his party.
Mei Kai opened the city gate, stood at the head of the city and watched the two Yue commanders lead the remnants of the army to flee like a fool.
The Yue people, who had been rushed to the Chu army and could not escape, died under the halberd in the wail.
Xiang Guancheng was in a hurry, not in a hurry to occupy the city, and ordered the soldiers to kill all the enemy troops in order to vent the hatred of the ambush.
"Benhou has all the soldiers and horses here, and he is actually defeated by 30,000 of the Chu State! What can I do about it? Mei Kai's upper and lower teeth trembled, regretting her words.
He was sweating finely and was anxious to get out of this place, but he was afraid that he would be killed by Mei Kai if he left at this moment, and he had to help him get through this pass. Mo Cheng's eyes were firmly focused on Chu Bing's movements, and he finally saw the planned scene - Chu Bing's movements became more and more sluggish, and he was tired after all.
"Shut the door, close the door! Don't let the Chu soldiers enter the city! When Mei saw the two commanders enter the city, she raised her arms and shouted.
"Don't be a marquis!" The bearer shouted urgently, "The remnants of the army defending the city will be broken sooner or later." Now the Chu army is coming from the south, and if there are any more Chu soldiers coming from the east, it will be a self-trapped move. ”
"What advice does the gentleman have?" Mei Kai clenched the sleeves of his shirt, attached himself to his waist, and his attitude was extremely humble.
"Taihou don't panic, although the Chu soldiers are brave, they are tired in the end, and if they retreat from the city today, the Chu soldiers will not chase after them." He said lightly.
"Shecheng?! Didn't the Chu soldiers take advantage of the situation to enter the Jiujiang region?! Mei Kaihu looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't tell whether this person was harming him or helping him.
When the Yue Ren attendant heard this, his hand unconsciously touched his waist.
An old man of unknown origin during the war may not have been sent by the enemy.
"There's no other way. The old man has made a good backup, and the Taihou can follow the plan. ”
He stared at Mei Kai closely, for fear that he would see some timidity, and pulled him as a cushion before he died.
After a moment of confrontation, Mei Kai was finally distracted by the wail near the city gate.
"That's it, it's all up to the old man."
Mei Kai completely compromised, took the left and right attendants and the bearers to rush down to the city, straddled the horse and gave the order, and led the remnants of the army to flee south.
Shake Wuyu and Hua harmlessly stared back at the crown that was entering the city, and accelerated forward to protect Mei Kai's left and right.
"Where's the traditional collar?" Mei Kai asked the two of them urgently, "The three of you join forces, how can you be an opponent?!" Why didn't he come? ”
Forced to smile but didn't make a sound, this is Mei Kai's self-deception for the sake of face.
The three generals of the Yue people, from high to low, are respectively a joint biography of Hu harm, shaking is unstoppable, and Hua is harmless. Although there is not much difference between the first two, Hua is harmless but no different from ordinary generals, and he has not done anything outstanding. Defeat himself thinks that even if the joint story is here, it will only contain the situation of the battle, and will not reverse the victory or defeat.
"Back to Taihou, the traditional leader sent people to refuse to defend Jinlingyi to prevent the Chu army from attacking in other ways." Shake Wuyu replied in a low voice, the action of the joint transmission of Hu Wei was arranged by Mei Kai himself...
"It's... Alas! Mei wanted to denounce, but she knew that she was unreasonable.
Zhongli is in the northeast of Jiujiang, Jinlingyi is in the east of Jiujiang, close to Chu State, occupies two waterways, and its strategic position far exceeds Zhongli, so it has to be defended.
And Zhongli is the place where all the countries gathered to discuss countermeasures to deal with the Chu State, Jinlingyi is not only the city built by the order of the King of Chu Wei, but also the city built by Fan Li after the Yue State destroyed Wu, and this city is of great significance to the Yue people.
"Zhongli is all sent to Xiang Guan, Jinlingyi doesn't know who to send? There are not 10,000 people under the traditional leader, I'm afraid..."
Geumneung-eup.
The city is cast of stone, also known as the stone city.
It is said that Hu harmed the city, with a rate of less than 10,000 people, and took a boat on the river.
On the downstream boat, the earthy yellow uniforms are connected in patches, like the surface of the river, which is the water army of the Chu State. The leader of the general is burly and has a rampant smile, and it is Xiang Yu's general who overwhelms Yingbu - Sima Long Tho.
"According to what this commander has heard, Mei Hong's army should be in Zhongli, and there are no heavy troops here. I really admire that the traditional leader dares to face the battle. Sima Long Tho laughed jokingly in the big boat.
He said that Hu Yan lightly brushed his eyes, "I heard that the Chu soldiers were coming, and I wanted to be cowardly to defend the city." However, Sima led the person to go, and there was no reason to be afraid to fight. ”
"It seems that the traditional leader is a smart man, and the commander of this expedition is a death to meet and avoid the battle. It's decent to die a battle. Sima Long Tho said, and the soldiers on both sides of the boat laughed uncontrollably.
"Wrong!" He said that Hu Yan shook his fingers and smiled evilly, "Commander Sima once led a large army to attack Qin twice, but he passed by empty-handed. I want to come this time, if I don't lead the troops to meet in the next place, I am afraid that the commander of Sima will come and go, and I will not see each other when I come on a trek~"
Sima Long Tho was poked in the sore spot, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Less nonsense, fighting in the water, those upstream have the upper hand. This commander came from the downstream, which was counted as compensation for the lack of troops of the Vietnamese. If you lose this battle, there will be no more complaints! Sima Long Tho shouted, although he wants to win a big victory, but he disdains to win more than less, if he threatens to fight with the same forces, he is also ready to withdraw some of his soldiers.
"I'm afraid that Commander Sima has complaints. The Yue people's naval army is unique in the world, and even if the Chu State has ten times the strength, it is not an opponent of our army. He shook his head and said.
Sima Long Tho was suddenly amused by this remark, "Haha... Although this commander is not familiar with the art of war, he knows that the tactics of the navy army originated from Wu Zixu, a Chu person. ”
"Although Wu Zixu is a native of Chu, he is subordinate to King Wu, digs the tomb of King Chuping, and whips 300 corpses. This person can become the Chu person in the mouth of Sima Commander, and he has nothing to say. ”
It is said that Hu Hu laughed heartily, and the laughter of the Yue people on the west side resounded across the river.
Sima Long Tho knew that he was deliberately led to say this by Hu Tuo, and he was ridiculed, and his face was completely unbearable, "The whole army stepped forward!" Swear to kill and pass on the harm! ”
Sima Long Tho came first.
The naval army fights, using boats as horses and water as roads, which is not inferior to cavalry on land.
When the Yue people saw the enemy's army flying in a big boat, they couldn't help but gasp. Although the joint legend did not say anything, his face became more and more ugly.
In later generations, Prime Minister Zhuge said, "The way of water warfare is to stand on the boat." Practice the soldiers to multiply it, the bow and crossbow to the middle, and the short soldiers to defend it..."
No matter how subtle the tactics are, as long as these few points are achieved, there is not much difference. What's more, the other side is an overwhelming force.
"Arrows to kill the enemy!"
The two sides exchanged arrows, and the joint rumor made it clear that the whole army would retreat in an orderly manner, and always keep a distance from the Chu army.
"Coward!"
Sima Long Tho secretly cursed the enemy and ordered to march at full speed. The arrows shot by the Yue people suddenly changed from dense to thin, and before the Chu soldiers could show their pleasant faces. Arrows dozens of times denser than just now came in all over the world.
The Chu soldiers on the left and right flanks fell into the boat with arrows, and the big boat, which lost control, collided with the left and right ships, although it was not a big problem, it was extremely ugly. Sima Long Tho dodged, and he could see clearly what was in the hands of Hu Chuan Hu.
"This is made by the spirit burning, and the king of Qin secretly gave it, and it is called a repeater!" He laughed and laughed.
"It's a baby again!" Sima Long Tho gritted his teeth and endured his anger, "This commander depends on how you can repel the 100,000 army with only arrows, and where you can retreat!" ”
"Commander Sima is at ease, he will not escape below."
Under the order of the joint transmission of Hu harm, the retreat speed of the Vietnamese army gradually slowed down.
As the sun moved westward, the sun was dark, and suddenly a thick fog rose above the river.
"It's time to fight back!"
