Chapter 542: Encirclement

Jing Cui was overjoyed when she learned that Ejun led the left army to come to help.

Although the strength of the right wing of the Vietnamese army was less than that of Ejun, there were 30,000 people, and Ejun attacked the right flank of the Vietnamese army with 50,000 Chu troops, and the advantage was obvious, and it was not difficult to defeat the Vietnamese army.

However, it will take time to completely defeat the Vietnamese army, drive them out of the main battlefield, and then re-assemble the army.

According to Jing Cui's original calculation, Ejun lacked chariots in his hands, and it should take some time to defeat the Vietnamese army to come to help.

No, Ejun is much faster.

According to Jing Cui's estimate, Jing Yang has a large number of chariots in his hands, although there are only 30,000 Chu troops, but in terms of combat power, he is definitely stronger than Ejun.

As a result, Jingyang had not yet defeated the Vietnamese army, and Ejun came.

This shows that the Guangling defenders in the hands of Ejun are definitely not weak, and although Ejun has been sparse for a long time, the level of marching and fighting has not fallen.

In any case, Ejun's coming to aid at this time is definitely a big reinforcement.

Thinking about it, Jing Cui immediately ordered: "Pass the order to Ejun, let him immediately attack the rear of the Vietnamese army." ”

"No."

Soon, another scout came to report: "General, General Jing Yang of the Right Army has come to report that the Right Army has broken the left flank of the Vietnamese Army and is reorganizing the army to come to help." ”

The nervousness on Jing Cui's face disappeared when she heard this, and she was overjoyed: "Okay, pass the order to General Jing Yang, and let him attack the rear of the Vietnamese army together with Ejun." ”

"No."

After the scout left, Jing Cui bowed his hand to Xiong Huai and said: "King, the left and right armies are coming to help, at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and the Yue Kingdom is no longer able to return to the sky." ”

Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

In the battlefield.

Soon, the left army led by Ejun appeared behind the Vietnamese army, and then rushed straight to the rear of the Vietnamese army.

Because Gongzihoi didn't pay attention to the news of the left and right wings, the Vietnamese soldiers had no idea about the battle on the left and right wings.

When the Chu army appeared in the rear of the Yue army, all the Yue people were all bent on moving forward, wanting to fight with the Chu people and avenge the king of Yue, and they did not expect that a Chu army would appear in their rear.

On the other side, after Ejun led the army to kill the Yue army, he saw that the Chu army under his command easily broke into the Vietnamese army's formation, and broke through to the center of the Vietnamese army at a slow speed, and immediately knew that the Yue army was unprepared for the arrival of the Chu army, and was killed by surprise.

Seeing this, Ejun was immediately ecstatic, and then pointed to the banner of King Yue in the Vietnamese army, gasped, and instructed his deputy general Zhuang Ji: "General Zhuang, the banner of King Yue is ahead, as long as you can capture King Yue, whether you live or die, it is a great achievement." The general has not been in battle for a long time and lacks strength, so I ask the general to help me win the king of Yue and make this great achievement. ”

When Zhuang Ji went to Guangling from Ejun to take office, he had already attached himself to Ejun with his brother Zhuang Xin, and then, because of Ejun's cronies, he quickly stood out from the Guangling defenders, and became Ejun's deputy general with effective training of the army.

At this time, when he heard Jun E's order, a trace of excitement flashed in his heart, and he immediately responded excitedly: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely return to capture King Yue for your lord." ”

"Okay." Ejun was overjoyed and said, "Please, general." ”

Zhuang Ji nodded, and then quickly drove the chariot away from the side of Ejun, came to the front line, and commanded the Chu army to kill at the banner of the king of Yue.

After a while, the right army led by Jingyang also appeared near the battlefield.

Unlike Ejun, who abandoned most of the chariots and only led the foot soldiers, Jingyang's right army still used the chariots as the front drive and rushed to kill.

After arriving at the edge of the battlefield, Jingyang saw that Ejun's team had entered the Yue army, and the target was directly aimed at the banner of the Yue King, constantly advancing forward, and his eyes suddenly sank.

Then, seeing that Ejun's army that had entered the Vietnamese army did not have chariots, and there were not many chariots behind him, he groaned a little in his heart, and knew that Ejun had left all the chariots assigned to him by Zhu Guo, and then rushed to the battlefield first with swift foot soldiers.

Thinking of this, he secretly laughed and said: In order to catch King Yue, this Ejun is too anxious, don't you know that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

After thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Pass my general's order, still use the chariot as the front drive, attack in the direction of the banner of King Yue, and I will capture King Yue alive and sacrifice it to the king before the king." ”

"No."

When the military order was issued, the speed of the chariot seemed to increase in vain by a few points, and the entire right army was like a flying crossbow, which shot into the Vietnamese army in an instant, and then slowed down a little and continued to move forward.

The foot soldiers of the Vietnamese army, in the face of the impact of the chariot, could not effectively stop the advance of the chariot with only flesh and blood. The chariot entered the Vietnamese army, still maintaining a fast speed and advancing forward.

In the left army, although the right army came slowly, relying on the chariot, the speed of the breakthrough was much faster than that of the left army, and it was very likely that he would rush to the position of the king of Yue Wang Qi before Zhuang Ji.

So, his face sank, and he scolded secretly: Jingyang, this kid, after defeating the left flank of the Vietnamese army, did not abandon the chariot and immediately came to reinforce the king, but spent time rectifying the chariot. If the reinforcements are too late and let the Vietnamese army break out, will this grandson bear such consequences?

If this guy catches the king of Yue, after the war, this king must talk to the king, impeach him, and accuse him of the crime of delaying the warplane.

Don't mention how Ejun cursed Jingyang in his heart.

In the battlefield.

As the left and right flanks of the Chu army attacked the Vietnamese army, the soldiers behind the Vietnamese army inevitably turned around and fought with the Chu army's reinforcements.

The soldiers on the rear no longer moved forward, and the offensive of the entire Vietnamese army gradually weakened, and they fought for half an hour, until the Vietnamese army advanced the battle line to the edge of the Chu army, and only four or five hundred steps were left to chisel through the Chu army.

Then, under the strong encirclement of the Chu army, the battle line not only did not move forward, but was forced to retreat by the Chu army.

For a time, nearly 200,000 Chu troops surrounded tens of thousands of Yue regiments, and the water in the encirclement was impassable.

At the same time, the left and right armies led by Jingyang and Ejun had penetrated deep into the Vietnamese army, gradually dividing the Vietnamese army in the rear, and then speeding up the strangulation of the Vietnamese army.

As the offensive of the Vietnamese army continued to weaken, it was trapped in the Vietnamese army, and the Guards who had been besieged by the Vietnamese army for nearly two hours, and had lost hundreds of people, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

After the pressure was greatly reduced, Gongsun Yan stood on top of the chariot and watched the situation on the battlefield.

As far as the eye can see, the guards are not far from the banner of King Yue, but not only, at least, compared to the left and right armies, the distance is greater.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan immediately dismissed his plan to snatch King Yue with Ejun and Jingyang.

Besides, a corpse is nothing to grab!

Gongsun Yan comforted himself for a moment, then looked around, and soon found the banner of Gongzi's hoof between the guards and the Chu army behind.
