Chapter 187: Qi chases the more to the East China Sea, and the more he fights against the water

After the Yue army and the Qi army clashed in Guangling, they were still slightly declining as usual, so the king of Yue Wujiang quickly ordered the Yue army to retreat.

Qi Wangtian Pijiang had expected that the Vietnamese army would be like this, so he did not give the Vietnamese army a chance to withdraw at all, and ordered the three armies to pursue the retreat road that the Vietnamese army must pass through in a roundabout way, resulting in the Vietnamese army unable to retreat and had to continue to fight with the Qi army.

At this time, the Vietnamese army was under the command of Wujiang, and whenever the Qi army chased after it, the confrontation was less than a round, and they did not love to fight, but quickly withdrew to the other side, and played a turnback war with the Qi army.

Tian Pijiang saw that the Vietnamese army was playing this tactic, and he also regarded himself as tall and strong and stronger than the Vietnamese army, so he ordered the Qi army to keep chasing the Vietnamese army, and compared with the foot strength of the Vietnamese army.

However, after the two armies pursued for dozens of rounds, the king of Qi found that his Qi army was gradually unable to chase these obviously lighter Vietnamese soldiers due to their heavy armor, and even the Vietnamese army made fun of the Qi army while running.

The king of Qi also knew that if this continued, the situation would be unfavorable to him, so he ordered the soldiers to immediately stop the pursuit of these Vietnamese troops, and concentrate all their forces to go straight to the boundless command office, so as to capture the thief and capture the king first.

Wujiang found that the Qi army was rushing towards him, and he also hurriedly ordered the army to retreat with him, but it was to the east, not to the south.

King Qi naturally didn't want to let go of Wujiang and the Yue army and fled, after all, this battle had been fought for more than a year, and the Qi State could no longer afford to drag it out, so the King of Qi personally commanded the chariot to charge at the front, leading the Qi army to pursue the Yue King Wujiang and his army.

But after chasing for a mile or so, King Qi's chariot suddenly fell into the swamp and could not advance, and Peng Meng, an officer accompanying the army beside King Qi, ran to persuade King Qi at this time:

"King, now the terrain ahead is full of low-lying swamps, which is not good for our Qi army, and the chariot of our Qi army is heavy, not as light as the chariot of the Yue army, and it is easy to fall into the swamp like your chariot of the king, and the king of Yue Wujiang has always been cunning, so the minister advises the king not to chase!"

King Qi was angry:

"In today's battle, the few people have made up their minds, it is impossible to let go of the Yue army, our Qi army must defeat the Yue army, and give the countries, especially the Yan country, which has been taking the opportunity to repeatedly invade the border of our Qi country, let it see the strength of our Qi country, and let the princes of the world know who is the overlord of today, otherwise these princes will only treat my Qi country as a paper tiger!"

So Qi Wang Tian ordered people to abandon the Qi chariot, which was not conducive to walking in the swamp, unloaded the heavy armor, and began to pursue the Vietnamese army with all his might.

King Wujiang of Yue thought that using the swampy terrain would be beneficial to the Yue army and would enable him to retreat after learning about the difficulties, but he did not expect that the Qi army would not let go of the Yue army at all, and chased after him.

After a while, the Qi army caught up with the Vietnamese army, and the confrontation began, the Vietnamese army was defeated, and Wujiang continued to flee east with the remnants of the army.

After the Qi army defeated the Yue army, how could Tian Pijiang let go of the king of Yue? So ordered:

"Capture the king of Yue without borders, and directly become a feudal king."

When the soldiers of the Qi army heard this order, they rushed to chase after the king of Yue Wujiang and his troops, but at this time, the Qi army inevitably seemed a little light, thinking that Wujiang was already a fish on his chopping board at this time, and he only needed to chase it to eat, so no matter what the terrain in front of him, he chased Wujiang and his Vietnamese army wildly.

After the border to the east and the war concubine fled for two days, the army has been seriously sleepy and lacking horses, and seeing that further east, there will be the sea not far away, which is already a dead end, if you run to the east again, then your army can only fight against the water.

Obviously, although there are still 100,000 people in the Vietnamese army at this time, the morale of the soldiers is very low, and although the Qi army has also suffered some casualties because of not being accustomed to fighting in the swampy area, there are still more than 200,000 troops.

Because of the battle in the swampy area, both armies abandoned their chariots, and when they hit here, the Qi and Yue armies were left without any chariots that could charge.

King Yue saw that the Qi army had not chased after him for a while, and after breathing a sigh of relief, at this time, the army and division around him all spoke to Wujiang:

"King, before the Qi country fought with our Yue country, it was possible to win, relying on its sturdy chariots and self-proclaimed soldiers, and now the Qi army and our Vietnamese army have no chariots, and although the Qi army is physically stronger than our Vietnamese army, but the endurance is not as good as our Yue army, after chasing these two days, compared to our Yue army, it has an advantage!"

King Yue Wujiang smiled bitterly and said:

"What's the advantage? Now our Yue army is at war with Qi State, this year, repeatedly defeated by Qi Army, and this time the widow originally wanted to take advantage of the swamp, can win with the Qi Army, but did not expect the result to be so, seeing that the number of Qi Army has been more than twice that of our Yue Army, and will immediately pursue again, how can we Yue Country still fight? Why don't we bow down to the king of Qi and make a living? ”

All of them pointed at Wujiang in an accusatory tone:

"King, since you are the lord of my Yue country, you should be my example of Yue Guo, how can you be so willing to fall? You yourself are like this, how can the soldiers win the battle? Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been commonplace, when your ancestor Gou Jian almost lost the country to Wu, didn't he finally take revenge and destroy the powerful Wu country? And you still have 100,000 troops, and although you have been losing battles, we still have a chance to fight the Qi army to the death. ”

Wujiang still smiled wryly:

"Fight to the death with the Qi army? What are we going to do now to fight the Qi country to the death, and defeat the generals with these remnants? Don't tell me anything about the first king Goujian, the first king Goujian can indeed lie down and taste the courage, but in the end he can endure the humiliation and bear the burden and destroy the Wu country, there are such virtuous ministers as Fan Li and Wen Chong around him, I have no boundaries to ask myself if there are such courtiers around me? ”

He replied:

"The two great virtuous ministers of the first king Goujian, Fan Li and Wen, I am ashamed to compare, but in terms of military affairs, I am not inferior to them, as long as the king is willing to trust me and hand over the army to my command, I will have a way to defeat the Qi army."

Although this is Wujiang's military division of Qi this time, but Wujiang does not trust it, and always feels that it is just a boast, and has no real talent, this time it can take it to the expedition, but it is also because it is in Langya, the capital of the country occupied by the Qi State, and has a high reputation.

Wujiang looked at Juji with questioning eyes at this time:

"Do you really think that you are Sun Wu and Wu Qi yourself? Amusing...... Amusing! ”

All the books returned:

"King, my nationality is indeed not worthy of comparison with famous generals such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi, but if it is compared with Qi Wangtian Bijiang, my nationality is still slightly better!"

Wujiang smiled lightly:

"Okay, I'd like to hear where you are stronger than King Qi?"

He replied:

"I can't compare to the king of Qi in terms of governing the country, but the army fights, although the king of Qi can be regarded as good at fighting, but he is easy to be arrogant and despise the other party, and I can just take advantage of the arrogance of the king of Qi to make him suffer!"

At this time, Wujiang heard the sound of the Qi army chasing in the distance, and he didn't have any idea at this time, so he had no choice but to agree to hand over all the troops to Juji and gamble once.

After taking command of the army from Wujiang, he left and ordered all the soldiers to retreat to the edge of the beach, and then announced to the soldiers:

"Now that our Yue Kingdom has reached the time to fight against the water, if you still have no fighting spirit like this, waiting to be slaughtered by the Qi army, and don't want to live, then I will persuade you to jump directly into the sea, so that at least everyone can avoid some pain in the war.

Immediately, a large group of Vietnamese soldiers began to walk into the water, and when they were halfway there, they stopped.

On a pointed boulder, he questioned the soldiers who had not stopped:

"What's the matter, do you want to wait to be slaughtered by the Qi army?"

Then he asked:

"Aren't you just afraid of the Qi army? Now that I have given you the opportunity to choose your own death, don't you want to? ”

At this time, countless soldiers complained:

"The sea is so cold, we don't want to die!"

"Yes, even if we drown in the sea, won't the bones be fed to the fish when the time comes? We don't want to be eaten by fish! ”

"As dignified men, if we want to die, we must die on the battlefield, how can we kill ourselves in the sea because we are afraid of the enemy? We don't do such shameful things! ”

"We are going to fight to the death with the Qi army...... Fight to the death! ”

"Even if we die in battle, we must let the Qi army know that we Yue people are not this kind of greedy people who are afraid of death!"

As they spoke, they ran ashore, picked up their weapons again, and began to shout:

"We will fight to the death with the Qi army, fight to the death, even if we die, we will die on the battlefield, we will die on the battlefield."

After this encouragement, the morale of the Vietnamese soldiers instantly rose.

So Juji immediately took advantage of the time for the Qi army to redeploy the army, and the deployment was orderly and tight, so that King Wujiang, who had always been skeptical on the side, couldn't help but be shocked.

Not long after, as soon as the Vietnamese army was deployed, Qi Wang Tian Pijiang led the Qi army to chase not far from the beach.

After seeing the dense Vietnamese army gathering in a radius of several miles at this time, which was already a dead end, Tian Pijiang was overjoyed, and ordered someone to shout to the Vietnamese army:

"Your Vietnamese army is now in a place where there is no way out, this king will give you a chance to surrender, put down your weapons and surrender!"

Ju Ji immediately ordered someone to respond to King Qi:

"Our Vietnamese army really has no way out, but we don't want to surrender, we just want to die heroically on the battlefield, I hope that the king of your country can give us a fair chance to fight in Vietnam!"

King Qi smiled contemptuously and ordered someone to ask:

"What kind of fair fight do you want in Vietnam?"

Response:

"Our Vietnamese army wants to use 100,000 people to fight a fair battle with your 100,000 troops, I hope you can agree!"

King Qi saw that the Yue army was demoralized at this time, and the defeat was like a mountain, his own 100,000 troops, even if it was 50,000 troops, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army would be invincible, but it was still for stability, so he immediately ordered someone to reply:

"Okay, our Qi country has agreed to your request, so let's leave 100,000 troops to fight against your 100,000 troops of the Yue army, so that you, the barbarian Yue country, know the invincibility of our Qi country!"

After speaking, the prince of Qi personally ordered 100,000 troops, made a simple deployment, and then ordered all the other armies to retreat ten miles, and personally led these armies to fight against the Vietnamese army.
