287 Wujiang Battalion, Princes Assemble!
"Express, Express, Da Chu Di Daily! Danyang victory! β
"The emperor led 50,000 imperial forest troops, drove a personal expedition, and broke through the Wu army camp! Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, fled to Dajiang and killed himself. β
"Great news! The 25th army of Wu King Xiang Bi encountered the emperor's personal conquest and was destroyed in Danyang. More than ten princes rebelled, and their destruction is imminent! The emperor ordered all the rebellious princes in Jiangbei to present a letter of surrender and depreciate themselves to the people to thank the world! β
"The emperor ordered a commendation. Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu, the Marquis of Xiaodu, led the troops to defend Danyang City and made great contributions, and specially promoted the left general Xiaoduhou to the second-rank hussar general, and the right general Li Yu to the second-rank guard general. The rest of the generals have their own awards and promotions. β
"The emperor ordered that the hussar general Xiao Duhou and the guard general Li Yu lead the army to cross the river north in a few days to crusade against the rebellious princes!"
This astonishing news, along with the Di newspaper, quickly spread all over the world.
"Da Chu Di Daily", "Taiwei Mansion Newspaper", "Prime Minister's Mansion Daily" and other major newspapers in Jinling are frantically publishing the amazing news of Danyang's victory.
In the entire Jinling City, millions of gate lords and ordinary people are boiling, and the streets and alleys are all holding Di newspapers, their faces are flushed with excitement, and there are many discussions.
This is an unimaginable victory, comparable to the famous victory in history.
Although many literati and scholars did not go to the battlefield, when they heard the news of the great victory, they couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar, and described the heroic posture of the emperor, the Marquis of Xiaodu, Li Yu, etc., on the battlefield, and submitted articles to the major mansion newspapers.
Xiao Duhou and Li Yu combined their swords, invented all kinds of unheard-of peerless divine weapons, and guarded a small Danyang county town. Let the 200,000 army of King Wu and the crazy siege of countless siege equipment stand still.
Emperor Xiang Yanran was like the Great Chu Taizu Emperor Xiang Yu possessed, and with the momentum of the gods, he broke through the Wu army camp with the momentum of the world.
Although they did not go to the battlefield in person, it did not hinder them in the slightest.
The news soon spread to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
The counties of Jiangnan are shocked!
"The princes are destroyed!"
"The Great Chu Dynasty, unification is in sight!"
"From now on, there will be no more princes in this great Chu country, and they will monopolize one side!"
"Great Chu Wei Wei, the national strength has skyrocketed, attacking the Huns in the north, and swallowing the universe!"
The county guards, county magistrates, scholars and students all burst into tears and shouted wildly. Wu Wang Xiang Bi was destroyed, and the south of the Yangtze River finally calmed down, and he finally didn't have to worry about the war burning into his home.
Even, even the counties in Jiangbei received the news.
The counties of Jiangbei were shaken.
Many places in Jiangbei were captured and fallen by the princes, and they were eagerly waiting for the imperial army to come to their rescue.
Those important towns that have not been captured are even more confident, and they are not afraid of being captured by the rebels. ββWith the speed of the imperial army's encirclement and suppression of the rebels, I am afraid that this war of the princes' rebellion will be ended in two or three months.
The Central Plains shook, and the princes of the world shook.
The news spread quickly.
From the Xiongnu royal court in the north, to the small Minyue country in the south, and the Dawan in the Western Regions, all of them were shocked.
It is unimaginable that the 200,000 rebel army was actually destroyed by the Great Chu court in just half a day!
What kind of war is this, which can be fought to such an extent? The elite main force of the Great Chu Imperial Court, how strong is its combat effectiveness!
All of a sudden, all the countries in the world were eye-catching.
The princes and kings of the Great Chu Dynasty rebelled, led by Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, led an army of 250,000 to rebel violently, and contained the most elite 100,000 troops of the Jinling court in the south of the Yangtze River.
This made more than a dozen princes in Jiangbei unscrupulously expand their power, without worrying about the imperial army going north.
...
The most frightened are, of course, the more than ten rebellious princes who attacked the city in Jiangbei.
They never dreamed that their good days would be so short.
Less than a month after the rebellion, the imperial court had pacified half of the south of the Yangtze River, destroyed the most powerful Wu King Xiang Bi, and was about to start a crusade against them.
Once you embark on the path of rebellion, there is no turning back. The soldiers can surrender, but they, the princes and kings, have no way to surrender.
What else is there to think about.
Of course, the princes and kings of all walks of life immediately brought their soldiers and horses, for fear that the imperial army would cross the river, so they desperately rushed to the Wujiang camp to meet with Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, and prepare to meet the imperial army going north.
It's hard to say whether you win or lose.
If you don't fight, it must be a dead end, and Wu Wang Xiang Bi killed himself in Dajiang, which is their end.
Soon.
The Wujiang camp quickly assembled the armies of the princes from all walks of life.
Around the county seat of Wujiang, there are dense tents of 10,000 people's army camps, which are difficult to count. Every day, an army arrives in a hurry.
With the arrival of the armies of the princes from all walks of life, the strength of the army skyrocketed, and after soaring to more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, they finally stopped panicking and had more confidence.
If there are many soldiers and there is a large force, it will definitely take advantage of the large number of people to fight.
Besides, there is a big river and natural dangers, and if the imperial army wants to cross the river, it is much more difficult than attacking a city.
Groups of patrolling soldiers marched along the banks of the river, guarding to the death.
Night.
In the camp on the bank of the river, piles of bonfires burned.
The soldiers of the miscellaneous battalion of the princes were roasting around the campfire, eating dinner, and talking in low voices.
"Who knows, how did King Wu lose?"
"He has an army of 200,000 people, even if he kills chickens. I can't kill these 200,000 in half a day! β
They whispered and were curious.
"I heard that Xiao Duhou invented the divine weapon gunpowder gun, and this divine soldier is very powerful.
An iron pipe, a fire dragon erupted from it, and the fire dragon spit out an iron pellet, within one or two hundred steps.... As long as you are shot by this iron pill, tsk, a blood hole, then the iron is doomed! Much more powerful than arrows.
So as soon as you see this iron pipe, you'd better lie down immediately! Wait for the dragon to vomit, and then stand up.
This is what my cousin's leader, a general of the Chu army, said himself. He was almost shot by a fire dragon. β
One of the soldiers whispered.
"There is such a divine weapon? It's unheard of! β
The soldiers were shocked.
"That is, Xiao Duhou is the number one scourge and the first scourge in Jinling. No one in the entire Jinling City can cure him! He's invented so much!
This divine gunpowder gun is just one of them, and I heard that there is also a small steel cannon! As soon as this cannon goes off... A fire dragon dozens of times larger, a huge iron projectile the size of a fist, flew out. β
The soldier said with added vinegar.
"And then?"
"How?"
The soldiers were extremely nervous.
"If you hit the building ship, a building ship will sink.... The ship of the king of Chu was sunk before, and he escaped on other ships. If it hits someone, dozens of people can't stop it. Blown into droplets. Chu Jun has fought with Xiao Duanhou, and they all know that they are powerful! β
"What, such a huge ship, sank? Isn't this a magic weapon? β
"That's right, otherwise, if the king of Chu crossed the river, how could he have knocked out half of his soldiers and horses and fled back to Jiangbei in fright? I don't dare to mention the matter of going down to the south of the Yangtze River!
Wu Wang Xiangbi had an army of 200,000 to besiege a small Danyang county town, and he didn't even hold it for half a day?! Do you really think that the emperor destroyed King Wu?
If he really has this ability, wouldn't he go to Wanling City earlier to destroy King Wu? The emperor just went to pick up the cheap, and the main force of King Wu was abolished by the Marquis of Xiaoduan in Danyang. Only then did the emperor take the opportunity to defeat King Wu. β
The soldier said.
These are all blind imaginations for him, but he also guessed eight or nine and ten. Anyway, the Chu army has suffered a lot, and they all know the strength of the little faint Hou Danyang soldiers.
The faces of all the miscellaneous soldiers turned white with fright, and they looked at the dark Jiangnan, feeling that they were gloomy when they met, as if the Danyang soldiers who were faint at any time would kill them.
