The king of Chu said, "Doctor Fan, are we going to stop our troops today?" ”

Fan Li said: "Now that the troops are collected, the role is not enough. It's still an hour before it gets dark, and we should have another attack. ”

The king of Chu said, "Okay, let's attack again." ”

Fan Li said: "Please send the order to the king, the drum is beaten louder, and the shouting is louder, but the attack is just a show." Don't really attack. ”

The king of Chu said, "I know how to do it." Then he called the herald and gave him a detailed explanation. The leaders of the army, big and small, were a little confused when they heard the order, what does this order mean? Is there such a war? But that's what the order is, do what you say.

The signal for the offensive was given, the drums of war were beaten, and tens of thousands of people let out thunderous shouts. The momentum is scary. The offensive began. The soldiers carried siege equipment, and the shield-bearers opened the way in front of them, trying to rush to the edge of the city.

The soldiers defending the city of the Wu army released arrows, and the rain of arrows flew like locusts, and the shield bearers of the Chu army erected a shield wall to block the flying arrows. Then slowly retreat, out of range of the bow.

After a pause, the war drums sounded again, the shouts of killing sounded again, and the siege team rushed forward again, but this time they did not attack the city walls, and retreated.

After charging many times like this, Fan Li said: "Okay, you can collect the troops." ”

The king of Chu passed down the order, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The big tent of the Chinese army of the king of Chu has already been erected. A small tent was also set up next to it for Mi Xing. Mi Xinggui is a princess and needs someone to serve, but this time she didn't bring her personal maid, and she didn't let other soldiers get involved.

The king of Chu said to Fan Li: "Doctor Fan, the widow is really embarrassed to tell you. My girl is really not safe in this army, if any soldier at night has a bad mind and does something reckless, you will kill that soldier, and the ugly thing will not be hidden, and the girl will not want to find her mother-in-law in the future. ”

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty is right to be worried, it's right to prevent something if you have nothing to do." ”

The king of Chu said: "She didn't bring a maid, it is not appropriate for other soldiers to serve him, you know her temper, and she will not let other men get involved." You've taken care of her for so long, and she's gotten used to you. The widow also believes in you, and asks you to take care of the girl. Good no good? ”

Fan Li said: "I just kept vigil for her outside her tent. ”

The king of Chu said: "You can't stop sleeping, I'll ask someone to set up a tent for you at the door of her tent, and you can also rest for a while, okay?" ”

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, this is very good." ”

The king of Chu said embarrassedly: "Doctor Fan, no matter what your identity is, it is inappropriate to ask you to do this, but there is no other way but to wronged you." ”

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty, the minister was originally from the Chu State, and now he is still your courtier, and it is the duty of the minister to do things for the king." ”

King Chu said, "Thank you, Doctor Fan. ”

Fan Li said: "The king doesn't have to be polite, let's discuss the war." ”

The king of Chu said: "If the doctor has any ideas, tell me about it." ”

Fan Li said: "We will continue to attack the city tomorrow and make the momentum bigger, but we can't break the city. ”

The king of Chu said, "It is right for the widow to understand your intentions. We'll do that tomorrow. ”

Fan Li said: "Please send a large number of scouts overnight, go out to thirty miles to unexpectedly investigate, find Wu reinforcements, and come back immediately to report." ”

The king of Chu said: "This is necessary, and I will send someone to inquire immediately." ”

Fan Li said: "Now I will go to the princess's side, and the king can convene a meeting of the main generals to convey your intentions." I'm not going to be in front of you. I beg the king to keep my secret from the army. ”

The king of Chu said: "Please rest assured that Doctor Fan, you go and rest." ”

Fan Li returned to his tent. It was found that the soldiers had set up their tents and Mi Xing's tent door to door, and there was only less than two feet in between.

He fetched water, asked Mi Xing to wash up, and then said, "Little sister, how do you feel?" Tired? Do you want to take another potpourri pill? ”

Mi Xing said: "No need, big brother, I'm completely fine." ”

Fan Li said: "Little sister, sleep." I'm in the tent across from me, just call me if there's something. ”

Mi Xing's mouth pursed again: "Big brother, you hate me so much, you can't even stay with me for a while." ”

Fan Li sighed, sat down opposite Mi Xing, and said, "Little sister, why do you talk like this?" I love spending time with you, but you've just recovered, it's been another day's journey, and it's time to rest. ”

Opposites attract each other is a natural law, Fan Li naturally wants to stay with this beautiful girl, but he is a person who does big things, and at least he still has self-control. In addition, he can't give anything to others, and he doesn't want the girl to fall too deep, which will hurt more.

Mi Xing said, "Big brother, how many days do you have to go?" ”

Fan Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Not necessarily for the time being, but when this side is stable, I will send you back to Yingdu." ”

Mi Xing said, "What about you? Go back to Wu or go back to Yue? ”

Fan Li said: "I'm going to stay in the hometown of the three families in Wandi for a while. ”

Mi Xing's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go with you." ”

Fan Li said: "Will His Majesty agree to it?" ”

Mi Xing said: "It doesn't matter if he agrees or not, the important thing is that you agree with the big brother." ”

Fan Li said: "Let's talk about it then." ”

That night, Fan Li heard someone approaching the tent in his sleep, and then he smelled a burst of fragrance, and he knew that Mi Xing was coming. Outside, the footsteps of soldiers patrolling could be heard. And he made no sound.

Mi Xing walked over and gently lay down beside Fan Li, face to face.

Fan Li whispered in her ear: "Sister, go back to sleep, do you know what kind of place this is?" In the army of 10,000 horses! ”

Mi Xing smiled lightly: "Don't drive me away, big brother, we don't have much time to get together, let me stay for a while." ”

............

The next day, the army got up on the fourth watch, made food on the fifth watch, and after eating the rice, they began to attack the city. Tens of thousands of war drums were beating, tens of thousands of people shouted, flags were unfurled, and war horses neighed. The besieging teams rushed forward again and again, and were shot back again and again by random arrows. On several occasions, the team had already stormed the edge of the city, but failed. Had to go back. Another time, the ladder had already reached the city wall, and the soldiers were about to climb up, when the rolling wood and stones on the wall fell and the bows and arrows fell. The siege team is worth retreating again.

The military order is there, and whoever breaches the city will have to be martialized. No matter how hard you work, you won't be able to break through the city. Won the battle before and made meritorious service, but this time he defeated the battle and made meritorious service. Weird, isn't it?

It seems to be attacking very violently, but it's actually all fake. The siege began in the morning until dusk, but the city was still not breached.

Suddenly, the Malay report was reported that Wang Sunxiong, the general of Wu State, led an army of 50,000 horses, and was quickly coming to the rescue, and had reached a distance of thirty miles from Juchao City.

Fan Li exhaled a long breath: "Brother, you're finally here!" ”

Chapter 343: Border Battle

After withdrawing the army around Juchao City and rectifying it slightly, the king of Chu led a large army to the east. After walking for nearly twenty miles, I saw that on the other side of the woods in front of me, smoke and dust were rising and flying straight into the sky, which indicated that a large army was coming from the opposite side.

The king of Chu ordered the advance to stop, the army stopped, and the archers took their bows and waited to shoot and hold down the position.

There was not much time, a large army drove over, and there was a big handsome flag in the middle, with a male character on it, it was Wang Sunxiong who came.

Fan Li looked at it and saw Wang Sunxiong's army, full of swords and guns, serious discipline and clear formations. It is like a high-quality army.

In recent years, Wu Zixu has strictly grasped military training, and Wang Sunxiong naturally does not dare to slack off. An army that has undergone hard training is not the same when it goes to the battlefield.

Fan Li said to the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, this army is very strong in combat, don't fight with him." ”

The king of Chu said: "Yes, we will do it according to the original plan." ”

Wang Sunxiong's army stopped at a distance of more than a hundred paces. Under the banner of the male character, a person rode out slowly, it was Wang Sunxiong. Wang Sunxiong came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Come out and talk from the other side!" ”

The king of Chu patted his horse and came to the front of the battle. Wang Sunxiong clasped his hands into fists and said, "It turned out that King Hui was coming, Your Majesty is not harmed?" ”

King Chu also hugged his fists and laughed. said: "Wu Chu has not been close to King Wu for a long time since the Battle of Poying. The widow is very concerned in his heart. This time, I came to greet King Wu. ”

Wang Sunxiong also laughed and said: "Your Majesty can still remember the Battle of Poying, I don't know if you have forgotten the Battle of Baiju?" ”

The king of Chu said: "Thank you for the reminder of the general, the widow does not dare to forget it for a while." The widow is also worried about Wu Zixu Xiangguo and Bo Yao Dazai. They are all old people. ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Wu Xiangguo and Bo Yao Dazai are indeed the deceased of His Majesty. Has Your Majesty ever thought about it? Wu Zixu Boyao is a talented person who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, why did he abandon his homeland and ignore it, fight back, and whip the corpse to vent his hatred? ”

The King of Chu looked sarcastic, and said loudly: "Wu Zixu Boyao is talented, but he is just a rebellious disciple. Insignificant. Although they were aggrieved during the chaos of the Chu State, they led foreign enemies to slaughter their fathers and elders. This rebellion is really an insult to the mountains and rivers of Chu State. ”

According to them, although Wu Zixu and Bo Yao were framed and forced to leave, Chu is their motherland after all. In the political and military practice of Wu, the two showed outstanding talents, especially Wu Zixu, who was loyal to King Wu. But they helped Wu attack Chu and break Ying, ravaged the homeland, and humiliated his father and relatives. This is a big stain behind Wu Zixu's glamour. It is deservingly reprehensible. Even when later generations of storytellers interpreted this history, the people who listened to the book also thought that it was a shameful thing for Wu Zixu to borrow Wu Huachu.

The big right and wrong have their own public opinion!

Wang Sunxiong said: "Wu Chu has been fighting for a long time, Your Majesty is not in Yingdu to enjoy peace, why do you still raise troops to attack my Great Wu, I don't know if Wang Sunxiong is still there?" ”

The king of Chu said: "The widow has no intention of Dawu, but the nest Zhongli is the homeland of Chu, and today he just wants his own land." General Wang Sun has stationed hundreds of troops, and he has been in trouble for a long time, can he still fight? ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Whether you can fight or not, you will only know until you fight." Wang Sunxiong advised His Majesty to lead the troops to retreat, and Wu Chu repaired it, which is also a good thing. Think again. ”

The king of Chu said: "The widow is not greedy, he has to live in the second city of Zhongli, and naturally stop the army." ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "I have to ask if the sword in the hand of a certain person agrees to this matter." With that, the horse turned around and slowly returned to its own formation

The king of Chu also returned to the Chinese army, and with a wave of his hand, a black horse rushed out of the formation. It's really the general Zhong Jian. The opponent also rushed out of the formation. The two exchanged hands in front of the battle. The drums of war on both sides beat and the soldiers shouted and cheered.

The two sides fought more than a dozen rendezvous, Zhong Jian seemed to be not low, and the reins of the horse shook and he was defeated.

As soon as Wang Sunxiong saw Zhong Jian's defeat, he ordered the flag to wave, and the army was about to cover up. The king of Chu shouted: "The rat is reckless!" The flag waved, and a row of arrows from 10,000 archers of the Chu army shot out. As soon as the Chu army moved, hundreds of generals rushed out and immediately waited for the battle.

Wang Sunxiong ordered to stop the killing. I saw that the Chu army was moving slowly, and it retreated in an orderly manner.

What's it all about?

Wang Sunxiong watched the Chu army retreat, but he didn't dare to order the pursuit, the Chu army was not defeated, why did he retreat? Or wait and see, lest you fall for the trick.

Seeing that, the 50,000 troops of the Chu State disappeared from view. Only in the distance was a faint cloud of smoke and dust.

Wang Sunxiong ordered to set up camp. The Wu army traveled from afar, worked very hard, and also needed to rest and rectify.

That night, the lights in the Wu camp were extinguished, and the soldiers were asleep. Suddenly, the sound of war drums on all sides of the camp was heard, and millions were shouting, and then countless branches flew into the sky, and landed on the Wu camp, and landed on the tent, and the tent burned. Fall on the grain and grass, and the grain and grass burn.

The soldiers were startled in their sleep and ran out of their tents, and the rockets fell on them, some of them burned, some of them burned to death.

Wang Sunxiong hurriedly gave an order, straightened out the men, rushed out of the camp, and prepared to fight to the death with the Chu army.

But when the Wu army rushed out, they saw that the night covered the earth, and there was silence on all sides, and the Chu army had already quietly retreated.

The night was confused, and he didn't know where the Chu army was retreating, so he couldn't catch up.

What is this thing called?

Wang Sunxiong deserves to return to the barracks and command the extinguishing of the fire. In this period of harassment, the Wu army killed and injured hundreds of people and destroyed a large amount of supplies.

After dawn, Wang Sunxiong reorganized his troops and horses, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chu army. But until the evening, the whereabouts of the Chu army were not heard.

Another day passed, and suddenly the Malay report was that the Chu army was besieging another border city, Caiying.

Wang Sunxiong said: "How far is Caiying from here? ”

Xiao Jun said: "Caiying is one hundred and fifty miles away from us. ”

Wang Sunxiong said: "Order, all the troops march in a hurry and rush to attack the Cai camp!" ”

The army quickly marched and headed straight for Cai's camp.

An army of 50,000 marched, with cavalry, chariots, foot soldiers and baggage, and could not travel a hundred miles in a day. Two days later, Wang Sunxiong led a large army to Caiying, and found that it was very quiet and there was no fighting.

That's weird! What about people? Wang Sunxiong rode on the horse and was stunned. The general of the Cai Ying defenders came out of the city to meet and said that a few days ago, the army of Chu suddenly surrounded Cai Ying. Shouting and attacking for a long time. It doesn't stop until it's dark. The next day, when I went to the city tower, I saw that the Chu army had withdrawn to an unknown place.

Wang Sunxiong is a little confused, what is Chu Jun playing?

I had to order to camp on the spot, and then send scouts to go out to inquire.

Two days later, an urgent report suddenly came: "The army of Chu is attacking Juchao." ”。

This can blow up Wang Sunxiong's anger. This time, he no longer went to the rescue according to the usual method, but organized 10,000 light cavalry, no one with three days of dry food on horseback, burned it, galloped to the nest, and was sure to drag the Chu army. It was not allowed to be unhooked, and the other foot soldiers and grain and grass were loaded, and then arrived. Then the decisive battle begins.

However, when the light cavalry rushed to the nest, the nest had already been breached, and most of the 5,000 defenders were annihilated. After some looting, the Chu army had withdrawn.
