Chapter 372: Baiyue is defeated
Jiangzhou, turn Kefu, Nanban Baiyue base camp
At that time, more than 100 people in the Nanban lived in the mountains and fields, cultivated their own crops, and later broke with Nanchu, so they simply began to attack the city and take the land, and they were stunned to grab a few counties in the hands of Nanchu.
The king of Baiyue moved some of the people into the city one after another, at the beginning, because of different living habits, the Baiyue people were still a little awkward after entering the city, in recent years, with the time of the Baiyue people more and more open.
Except for some old people who have their brains spinning to die, most of the Baiyue people are proud to go down the mountain to enter the city, and even recently, some Baiyue people feel that only one Kefu and a few counties can not live, and want to clamo for the Baiyue King to send troops to take a few more counties.
It is best to directly take all the southern prefectures of Jiangzhou and divide Jiangzhou equally with Southern Chu.
Unexpectedly, they thought very well, but before they could act, Nanchu's side took the lead, led by the emperor's grandson, and sent 300,000 troops to kill Kefu.
To tell the truth, Nanban Baiyue did not have the so-called grandson of the Southern Chu Emperor in his eyes.
The geographical environment in Jiangzhou is special, the mountains are undulating, the terrain is dangerous, especially in the south, especially in the south, the southern barbarian Baiyue in this case, good martial arts, noble strength, respect warriors, old and young are soldiers.
In several fierce battles with Southern Chu before, Nanban Baiyue fought with the Southern Chu army with inferior equipment and ordnance, relying on the courage of the clansmen.
Nanban Baiyue is confident, what imperial grandson and General Zuo are all wine bags and rice bags, and the Southern Chu army is a group of flowers, no matter how many people come, they are just ghosts with copper knives in their hands.
…………
The Baiyue people of Southern Chu are full of confidence, but their leader, Baiyue King Ayian, is a little worried.
He was not one of those reckless people in the tribe who did not know how to believe in force, and it can be seen from his actions that his people should go down the mountain and enter the city, that Airaan was a man of strategy.
In fact, it is also the case, the last generation of Baiyue King suffered all the hardships of Southern Chu, so when teaching his son Ayi, he deliberately found some scholars to teach his son strategy, in order not to let him repeat his mistakes back then.
After ascending to the throne of Baiyue, he trained his armoured soldiers, quietly traded with the surrounding prefectures and counties, and encouraged his people to go out of the mountains to increase their knowledge and cultivate their ambitions.
Under his leadership, Baiyue's strength continues to grow, and if it continues to develop like this, ten years later, Baiyue and Nanchu's wish to divide Jiangzhou equally may not be unrealized, and may even go further, and Baiyue will enjoy a state of land alone.
But this is Baiyue peace of mind to bury in the development of everything is smooth to achieve the situation, now the Southern Chu 300,000 troops are in the city, the future of Baiyue, is still unknown.
A Iran is very irritable, Baiyue's strength has not yet reached the heyday he expected, if he fights with Nanchu like this, even if he wins, there will be a lot of losses, and it will inevitably affect the development process at that time.
Nan Chu has a thick foundation and fast blood return, even if he is disabled 300,000, he will be raised back in the next three or four years, Baiyue is different, no matter whether he wins or loses, the strength that has grown in recent years will be beaten back to his original shape, and even if he starts all over again, the strength of Nan Chu will be farther and farther away............
…………
A Iran doesn't want to fight this battle, but there is no way to fight it, Nan Chu is bullied to the door, he can't avoid the war, and Nan Chu will not give up.
Unless he surrenders to Southern Chu, not to mention that Southern Chu does not agree, and what harsh demands will he make if he agrees, just saying that A-Iran will surrender without fighting, what will the Baiyue people think of him?
Baiyue is still martial, and defeat is a great shame, and if you don't fight, you will throw your face into the pit.
If Iran really dares to do this, I am afraid that it will be overthrown by the angry Baiyue people and set up a new king.
The fiftieth year of Tianyao, the end of August
The Southern Chu army rushed to the vicinity of the Tuoke Mansion, and after the imperial grandson discussed with the generals, he began to divide the troops into three routes?
The Eastern Route Army, led by General Mu Li, marched from the southeast of Kefu and penetrated directly into the left flank of Baiyue, with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
The Middle Route Army, led by the later general Fan Weizhong, went south along the small road and made a detour to attack the rear of Baiyue, with 50,000 soldiers and horses.
And the last Western Route Army, which is also the main force of Southern Chu, is personally commanded by the imperial grandson, marching from the west to the hinterland of Ke to fight against the main force of Baiyue.
…………
At this time, Azerbaijan had just finished assembling the Baiyue army, with about 250,000 soldiers and horses, distributed in Fucheng and the surrounding three counties, intending to wait for the Chu army and rely on the favorable terrain to launch a counterattack.
However, what Ah Iran didn't expect was that after the first few major battles, Nan Chu had enough of the terrain losses, and easily did not dare to step into the ambush circle set up by Ah Iran, but instead turned around to attack the county town outside the scope of Baiyue's main force, making Baiyue do useless work.
Now Arangyi is a little embarrassed, continue to hold on, it is clear that Nan Chu will not eat him, send troops to attack, the risk is too great, he is afraid of being ambushed by Nan Chu, so he is hesitant.
Ah Iran is hesitating, the Southern Chu army is not idle, the Western Route Army of the Emperor Taisun and the Eastern Route Army of Mu Li, bypassing the main force of Baiyue, frantically attacking the rest of the county seats, between half a month, even the four counties, almost knocked out a quarter of the territory of Baiyue.
The Baiyue people couldn't sit still, they made suggestions to Iran, asking for troops to regain the lost territory, and under the anger of the crowd, the king of Baiyue did not dare to fight against the army, so he was forced to send troops.
However, Ah Iran is not stupid, he knows that Nanchu divided his troops into three ways in order to flank himself, so he divided Baiyue's soldiers and horses into three parts.
He led an army by himself, and handed over the other two parts to his confidant general Moke and his son Atai respectively.
A Iran played against the imperial grandson with the most soldiers and horses, and Mo Ke and Atai went to deal with Mu Li and Fan Weizhong.
In the fiftieth year of Tianyao, in early September
The three divisions of Baiyue came out together, killing the soldiers and horses of the three roads of Nanchu respectively, and the side of Nanchu was overjoyed to see Baiyue put aside the terrain advantage and come out to fight with them in the field.
The three parties worked together to prepare to lead the slowly Baiyue army to the vicinity of Beishui County and take it in one fell swoop.
However, what they didn't expect was that just when their plan was just implemented, there was an internal change in Baiyue, and A's son Atai was killed by the deputy general Arugan's mutiny.
…………
Here's the thing, the deputy general of the mutiny, Arugan, is also the son of the king of Baiyue, A-Iran, and the eldest son, the brother of the one who was killed.
It's just that Atai is from Princess Baiyue, and Arugan is just the son of a slave girl.
Although Nanban Baiyue said that there was no such thing as a concubine, he still valued his son's background, so Atai, who had the support of the princess's mother, was deeply valued by the clan and was regarded as the first choice for the next king of Baiyue.
And Alugan, although his mother is from a low background, he has always been ambitious, and he thinks about killing his younger brother Atai all day long, and he will take over his Laozi's class in the future, so he has some people under his hands and plans for big things.
Arugan's careful thinking is not obscure, and Atai can naturally see that the brothers are hostile to each other, which can be described as incompatible.
This time, the troops were divided into three ways to fight against the Chu army, and Ah Iran originally intended to let the elder Alugan be the main general of the road, but he didn't want to be known by Atai, so he let Princess Baiyue blow the pillow wind and cut off Hu from Alugan's hands.
The good things in hand failed, Alugan almost died of anger, if he was allowed to take the position of the main general, he would get credit in the future, and he would have the confidence to fight for the inheritance with Atai, and now that Atai has taken away the opportunity, how can he not be resentful.
The matter should have ended here, the Lord will decide, Arugan is no longer unwilling in his heart, and he can only endure it, silently waiting for the opportunity in the future, and Atai, who got a bargain, took this opportunity to behave well, continue to show his face in front of the clan, and consolidate his position as the heir to the throne.
However, it shouldn't be that Ah Tai has made an inch, and it doesn't count as snatching the position of the main general, so he has to let Ah Iran send Arugan to his subordinate as a deputy general, and on the way to the march, it was a struggle for Arugan's brother, and he was humiliated everywhere.
The clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention Alugan, the son of the king of Baiyue, who is the eldest son of A. Iran, although he is not as valued as Atai, but it is also extraordinary, he has never suffered such a great humiliation after being born for decades.
In addition, he was just robbed of the position of the main general by Atai, and he hated it in his heart, and now Atai has been repeatedly bullied, which makes him have new hatred and old hatred, and anger rises.
So, when Atai humiliated and scolded Alugan again in front of the generals, Arugan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tangled a group of henchmen that night to mutiny.
Caught off guard, Atai was caught by Arugan and his people, hacked to death with a knife, and the army also fell into the hands of Arugan.
…………
According to the idea of the Baiyue King Ayian, the Baiyue army had three lines of soldiers and horses, acting as horns for each other, to jointly deal with the Chu army and prevent the other party from attacking and besieging.
However, after Alugan killed Atai, he was afraid that his father, A-Iran, would punish him, so after seizing the military power, he withdrew to the rear with this road of soldiers and horses, intending not to participate in this battle.
Alugan's operation can make his father Iran suffer, Baiyue is already less than Nanchu soldiers, and he takes a full range of soldiers and horses to pick a child, and the situation in Baiyue suddenly turns sharply.
Nan Chu got the news here, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation to attack, and he didn't care about deceiving all the soldiers and horses of Baiyue to Beishui County, and then gathered and annihilated them in one fell swoop, but chose to leave when he saw the benefits.
Regardless of whether the Argentine and Iranian troops were not yet in place, they decisively launched an attack on the Mokebu who had reached Beishui first, and the Chu army had a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses from the east and west, and they swarmed up, and Moke, which was the opponent, was immediately defeated.
Moke fought hard to break out of the siege, the remnants were less than 20,000 people, feeling guilty, sorry for the high hopes of the clansmen, Moke entrusted the army to the deputy general, and committed suicide.
Alugan ran away, Moke was defeated, and in the blink of an eye, the three people of Baiyue were left with only one way, and Alugan felt that Nanchu was strong, and he did not dare to defeat the enemy, so he hurriedly led the army to retreat.
The situation is very good, and the imperial grandson will naturally not stop there, and immediately lead the army to pursue.
Baiyue Lian suffered an accident, the army was in turmoil, the retreat speed was not fast, Nanchu pursued with all his strength, and it was really caught up, and another fierce battle, Baiyue was defeated and retreated, and was forced to flee to the mountains again.
The imperial grandson took advantage of the victory to pursue and recaptured all the Jiangzhou prefectures and counties occupied by Baiyue, and the Chu army won a great victory in this battle of Pingman.
After that, in order to prevent Baiyue from regaining its strength as it was back then, the imperial grandson was ready to lead troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress, but the mountains and forests were dense and the terrain was complex, and the Chu army could not exert its combat power at all, but the Baiyue people lived in the mountains for a long time and were familiar with the terrain, which caused a lot of losses to the Chu army.
In desperation, the imperial grandson could only give up the idea of going into the mountains to encircle and suppress it, and lead the troops back to the division.
Although the final result was not perfect, this victory over Baiyue was also a rare victory in Southern Chu in the past two decades.
Emperor Tianyao was also very relieved to see his grandson fighting, although he did not give the throne to the emperor's grandson, but he also let go of his control over the military power one after another.
After the emperor's grandson took over part of the military power, he supervised the military and political affairs of the whole country, and was called the prince, which was actually no different from the emperor............
