Most of the tents of the Chu army were burned, so that these soldiers had no place to sleep, so everyone could only sit on the ground, pile the unburned carriages into piles of bonfires, and support each other back to back to rest around the bonfire.

When it was almost dawn, Uncle Xia ordered all the soldiers to go down to the mountainside to assemble and prepare a large number of stones to prevent the Chu army from attacking the mountain.

The Chen army knew very well that if this battle was not won, the Chen State would be wiped out by the Chu army, so they were all gearing up and preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Chu army.

As soon as the sky dawned, Uncle Xia Yushu launched an attack order, and for a while, the drums shook the sky, and Chen Jun rushed towards the Chu army with spears and bows and arrows.

Gongzi's raft hurriedly ordered the Chu army to meet the battle. Although the Chu army still had an advantage in numbers, the Chen army was well rested, while most of the Chu army was exhausted, and the battlefield was narrow, and the Chu army could not give full play to the numerical advantage, and the Chu army quickly suffered heavy losses after the two armies collided together.

Seeing that the Chen army had the upper hand and the retreat was blocked, Gongzi had to beat the drum and give an order for about 10,000 Chu troops to entangle the Chen army, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers with the remaining 300 or so chariots rushed forward under his leadership, trying to get rid of the fierce attack of the Chen army.

The Chu army rushed forward not far away, only to see that the road was covered with hay and firewood, and there was still the smell of fire oil on it, and the Gongzi raft urgently ordered to stop advancing, because once it broke in, the consequences of the hay and firewood once ignited were unimaginable.

Gongzi Raft ordered hundreds of soldiers to clear the road, but before the soldiers approached, the Chen soldiers who were ambushed on both sides of the road had already lit the hay and firewood, blocking the road ahead of the Chu army, and then the eight thousand Chen troops who had already been ambushed on both sides of the road rushed over under the leadership of Shao Sikong Guan Yi.

The Chu army was immediately in chaos and rushed to respond to the battle, but how could the tired division be able to defeat the Chen army who was waiting for work, the Chen army rushed into the enemy formation of the Chu army, and fought bravely one by one, killing the Chu army to lose its armor and abandon its armor, and the Chu army had to turn back again, join the troops who were fighting with Xia Yushu, and shrink the defensive line to resist the attack of the Chen army.

Seeing that the Chu army would be defeated in such a fight, Gongzi Raft ordered the Chu army to attack a hillside to occupy the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain, but the Chen army continued to entangle the Chu army, making it difficult for most of the Chu army to escape.

In the end, more than 7,000 Chu troops rushed up the hillside and got rid of the entanglement of Chen's army.

The Chu army, which was surrounded but did not break through to the mountain, suffered heavy casualties, and the Gongzi raft failed to break through and went up the mountain and was captured.

When Uncle Xia Yu saw that Gongzi's raft was captured, he ordered the sergeant to tie him up and put him on the roof of a carriage and show it to the Chu army who were still resisting.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be captured, the Chu army knew that they had no power to return to the sky, so they laid down their arms and surrendered. The Chu army, which had already broken through to the mountain, saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to climb over the mountain and bypass the pass occupied by the Chen army, and retreat in the direction of Chu in embarrassment.

In this battle, Uncle Xia annihilated more than 22,000 Chu troops, of which more than 5,000 Chu troops were killed, more than 9,000 were wounded, and more than 7,000 were captured.

Chen's army also paid a great price, with more than 3,000 killed and more than 7,000 wounded.

As soon as the war ended, Uncle Xia Yushu not only removed the Chu army's arms, gathered the prisoners of war together, and immediately began to treat the wounded, including the wounded of the Chu army.

The accompanying military doctors began to stop the bleeding and treat the wounded, and Uncle Xia Yu also loudly called for the military doctors in the Chu army to treat the wounds together, so as not to cause too many deaths.

Uncle Xia ordered the raft of the son to be untied and welcomed him to his military tent to set up a tea reception.

"Son's raft, I have offended a lot, and I ask my son to bear with me." Uncle Xia Yu bowed to his son.

"The general of the defeated army, how can he be polite?" Childe Raft said.

"Childe's golden branches and jade leaves should be treated preferentially. Although our Chen army won this battle, we know that Chen is weak and Chu is strong, and we hope that the two countries will cease fighting and rebuild the old friendship. Uncle Xia Yu said, knowing that although the Chu army was defeated in this battle, it was impossible to shake the military superiority of the Chu army, and it had little impact on the national strength of the Chu State.

"Soldiers don't care about political affairs, they only know how to obey the king's orders. Today's battle was defeated by the Chen army, which was caused by the arrogance of our Chu army, and if he fought again in the future, the Chu army would not repeat the mistakes of the past. "Gongzi Raft is still arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't take Chen Jun in his eyes at all.

"What Childe said is not true. The Chu army is not a moral division, and its morale is a few points weaker, and it is defeated; The Chu army went on an expedition with labor divisions, and the supply was insufficient, which was the second defeat; The Chu army was unfamiliar with the terrain and had no local foreign aid, so it was defeated. At this time when the country's safety is in danger, Chen Jun will definitely fight to the death to win, and wait for work at ease, which is the fourth defeat. If there is another battle, the four defeat factors of the Chu army still exist. ”

Uncle Xia Yu said that this was not to be strong, but to deter the Chu people from committing Chen again next time, but he didn't know what the effect would be, after all, the Chu State was too powerful. However, the childe raft was obviously powerless to refute, so he could only deal with it in silence.

Here, the battle between Uncle Xia Yu and Gongzi Raft has subsided, and the battle between Gongzi Pingguo and Gongzi Zhu of the Chu army has just begun.

Gongzi Pingguo expected that the Chu army would wade across the river from the shallow water, and sure enough, it was so.

Gongzi Zhu crossed the river with the vanguard first, he saw a figure shaking in front of him, and knew that the Chen army had set up an ambush, so he waited for all the Chu troops to cross the river at the river beach, and launched an attack after assembling.

Who knows that this kind of countermeasure of not fighting an unprepared battle is in the hands of Gongzi Pingguo, because a large number of traps have been laid in front of the Chu army, and in front of the trap, a large number of archers are ambushed, just waiting for the Chu army to fall into the trap and shoot the Chu army.

After the Chu army was assembled, Gongzi Pingguo immediately asked the drummers to start beating the war drums, and asked all the sergeants to stand and shout, one was strong, and the other was to lure the enemy to attack.

Sure enough, Gongzi Zhu issued a battle order, and the Chu army's military vehicles were in front and the sergeants were in the back, shouting and rushing forward like a tide to the Chen army in front.

But before they had gone far, the horses began to step into the trap, and the horses' hooves fell into the backward cart and rushed forward, and the sergeant with spears in the carriage was thrown out, and the carriage pressed against the horse, and the man turned on his back.

After a while, the horses and carriages fell into confusion, and the sergeants in the rear also rushed into the trap formation at this time, and the horses neighed and screamed for a while, and soon fell into chaos.

Gongzi Pingguo immediately ordered the archers to start attacking, and the dense arrows flew into the chaotic Chu army, causing greater chaos in the Chu army, the Chu army could not set itself in the trap array, and could not organize an effective resistance, only those sergeants who threw off the carriage returned fire with bows and arrows, and these people were afraid of the trap and did not dare to move their positions, because there was no cover, most of them became the live targets of the archers of the Chen army.

After a while, the Chu army couldn't stand it, and Gongzi Zhu had to order a retreat, leaving those carriages and people who were caught in the trap, and fled back in embarrassment with those Chu soldiers who were lucky not to step on the trap, wading to the other side of the river and retreating in the direction of Chu.

Gongzi Pingguo saw the Chu army retreating, and while laying the wooden planks that had been prepared in advance, he walked forward, and came to the trap array to clean the battlefield, only to see the Chu army dead and wounded, and the state was miserable.

Gongzi Pingguo pulled the wounded up from the trap and sent them to safety to heal their wounds, and the horses that were holding down also pulled up.

Gongzi Pingguo counted the results of the battle, and the Chu army was killed more than 5,000 and wounded, and more than 600 carriages were captured.

However, only more than 700 archers were killed and 1,200 wounded, and Chen's army won a complete victory.
