After careful deliberation, Zhang Yi and the other three set the location of the army to fight in Danyang, thirty miles southwest of Jianye.

There is no way to choose.

First of all, Jianye, as the capital of a country, does not have a complete city wall. Since the founding of the country, Soochow has always used the Yangtze River as a wall. Jianye City, except for the stone city that Sun Quan had just relocated to build here. It is more like the modern cities of later generations: the common people, the wealthy families, and the families gradually concentrated in the vicinity of Jianye, and then bought the nearby land by themselves, built houses, and slowly and freely expanded in the city without walls.

Secondly, after Zhang Zun and others sent Tao Jun's body back, especially after many defeated soldiers returned to Jianye. Now the whole Jianye is already panicked. Many people have begun to pack up their gold and silver and prepare to go out for refuge. In such an environment, if you choose to fight behind the city in Jianye, I am afraid that it will not last long, and your own army will be scattered.

In the same way, this time out. Zhang Yi and the others did not bring the 20,000 so-called "recruits" who had just been recruited: they didn't call soldiers when they had a knife in their hands. What if you guys break up later?

"Hey, 30,000. Although they are all the elite of the country, there are more than 200,000 Han troops on the other side. ”

"Tao Shiying's troops still can't catch up?"

"Don't count on the troops in Jiaozhou. If the Yangtze River is in hand, Tao Shiying's troops can go directly to the Yangtze River from the Ganjiang River, and the whole waterway will be able to reach it soon. But now, the Yangtze River is no longer in my hands, and Tao Shiying can only take the land route. Can't catch up anyway. ”

"Also, if the Yangtze River is in hand, in fact, there is no need for him to come from Jiaozhou to support."

"That's it, let's fight. I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty, so let's return this life to Your Majesty here. ”

And on the other side.

"Zhong Si was frightened, he didn't expect Sun Yuanzong to refuse to surrender, he was so crazy."

"Oh, I'm ashamed. Liang originally thought that with a few generals and more than 200,000 troops, he could fake the tiger and create the glory of a country that one person said would descend on, but who would have expected that he would almost make meat on a plate. Fail to achieve the mission, ashamed. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just come back safely." Taking a long breath, Zhang Zun stood up: "I am not good at water warfare, and I came here all the way by relying on Shizhi." Now that it's finally time to fight a land battle, Zhong Si and please wait, wait for me to destroy the last army of this Wu dog, enter Jianye City, capture Sun Yuanzong, and give Zhong Si a breath! ”

"Former general, it doesn't matter if you are angry or not. But the Wu army that came this time was the most elite 30,000 people in Eastern Wu, and the former general was asked to be careful. ”

"Hahahaha, please rest assured, isn't it difficult?"

……

On 15 December, 150,000 Han troops and 30,000 Wu troops lined up in the southern suburbs of Danyang County.

It is a dense terrain with a network of water and scattered groves. It is a place of decisive battle carefully selected by Zhou and others.

Soochow is located in the south, so although scattered snowfall has begun at this time, the scene of the land covered in silver is not visible for the time being. Not only that, but even the trees with some snow on their branches continue to maintain their green foliage.

"Bang~" turned over and dismounted, Zhang Zun's combat boots trampled heavily on the soft mud ground. When lifting his feet, the boots raised wet mud, not to mention, and left a small footprint on the original ground.

"Hey!" Looking at the small pit under his feet, as well as the overweight plate armor on his body that had been improved and weighted to more than sixty catties, Zhang Zun shook his head with a wry smile: In this terrain, the cavalry and spearmen of this side don't want to have any wonderful performances.

"Someone, herald!"

"Ask the former general to show me."

"Order our cavalry to unarmour, and all the horses to unarmour. The cavalry was then deployed to positions slightly behind the flanks of the battlefield. Don't start the battle and wait for the general's order. ”

"Whoa!"

"Order our spearmen to unarmour, and then form a ring to protect your own large array."

"Whoa!"

"Da Zhuang?"

"Former general, Pan Dazhuang is here."

"My brother is really a celestial, well, I've said this too many times. Before this battle, he asked me to bring you, today, let me see your martial arts! ”

"Rest assured, former general! Although it was our teacher in the past, today we will be better than the blue. ”

"Good, you lead the troops to the front, today's battle, the main attack is you."

"Whoa!"

At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, watching the Han cavalry on the opposite side retreat, some of the soldiers began to unload their armor. The three of them, who had been frowning, finally showed a smile.

"Brothers! We are the strongest in Dawu, no difficulty, no trouble, and around the tent! Today's battle, although our army is small in number. But those northerners on the other side are not familiar with the terrain we have here. You see, they now know that this soft and muddy land is impossible to fight in heavy armor! They're busy removing their armor right now! Let's rush forward and drown all these guys in the stream! ”

"Huh~~!"

With the order from Zhou, the 10,000 Wuyi on the left side of the Wu army's army array charged first. Immediately afterwards, the tent in the middle and the Xie Fu on the right also began to charge under the leadership of Zhang Yi and Shen Ying respectively.

Yes, it was 30,000 people who directly charged all of them. As the most elite unit in Eastern Wu, these 30,000 people have the strongest personal combat power, and they usually guard the monarch as the monarch's personal guard. When it really comes time for them to go to the battlefield, either there is a breach in the enemy's formation, or the enemy has already killed the Chinese army. In both cases, it's just a matter of fighting. The formation or something, you basically don't have to think about it.

I watched as the 30,000 enemy troops on the opposite side surged across the woods and streams towards our side. At this time, Pan Dazhuang, who was standing at the forefront of the entire Han army array, also showed a burst of fanaticism in his eyes: After so many years, it is finally time to play again.

He raised his head, roared into the sky, and then roared, "Mandarin Duck Array!" Against! ”

"Huh~~!"

More than 10 years ago, when Guan Da Sima founded the Fuxing Society in Fuling County. One is the Zigong salt worker gun array, and the other is the mandarin duck array.

For more than a decade, because Ji Han's main enemy was always the Wei and Jin in the north, the pikemen were able to shine. As the pikemen achieved more and more results, they naturally received more praise and rewards. Its establishment is also gradually expanding.

And the mandarin duck array looked a little embarrassed.

However, Guan Yi still insisted on leaving a large proportion of mandarin duck soldiers in Ji Han's field army establishment. And in this expedition to Wu and the expansion of the army, the mandarin duck array was expanded to 30,000 people.

Now, it's finally time for the Mandarin Duck Formation to shine.

The land south of the Yangtze River is full of rivers, ditches, weir ponds, and even near the city outline, all kinds of small forests can be seen everywhere. In addition, there are many reasons for the high water content of the land. The cavalry ran here, the pikemen in heavy armor fought here, and there was also a feeling of suffocation when they were stuck in the mud and unable to exert their strength.

However, the Mandarin Duck Formation soldiers who fought in light armor did not have such a problem at all. And because of the dense woods and water networks here, it is more conducive to the Mandarin Duck Formation to borrow various terrain to complete the cooperation.

Besides, who is the enemy on the other side now? The elite of the Wu Kingdom with outstanding individual combat power and a mess of the battlefield formation! The Mandarin Duck Formation is the enemy who likes this kind of enemy without a formation the most.

Therefore, the 30,000 Wu Janissaries faced the 30,000 Ji Han Mandarin Duck formation. Within a quarter of an hour of fighting, the situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided.

"Hey~!" Kan Kan dodged the two spears behind the rattan player, and got up from the ground in a very embarrassed way. But just as he was standing firm, he heard a "whoosh" and an arrow hit his left arm impartially.

Because he was fighting in such terrain, even if he was an army commander, he didn't have his whole body draped. Therefore, the arrows of this bow and arrow penetrated deep into the arm without any suspense.

"Humph!" Gritting his teeth, he pulled hard, and the arrow with a barb was pulled out with a large piece of flesh around the periphery. But before he could take a breath to relieve the pain, two more spears pierced.

There was no choice but to roll again, retreat, and narrowly avoid this deadly gun.

"Hey! In the end, I have been in the imperial capital for a long time, and I don't know enough about the Han army. Is this formation the legendary Mandarin Duck Formation? It's so difficult to fight, it's even more difficult than Lao Tzu to eliminate the three evils! ”

muttered in his heart, and the guards behind him had already greeted him. Zhou Zhi had a little leisure, and looked up again after tearing off a piece of his robe and wrapping the wound on his left arm. Zhou Ziyin only felt that his eyes were about to split: as far as he could see, the elites under his command who were constantly boiling their bodies and honing their personal martial arts. In front of the enemy's mandarin duck array, it is like a baby learning to walk. Before he could show any of his martial arts, he was easily killed by the combined efforts of the enemy.

After fighting for nearly an hour, the surroundings clearly felt a sharp decrease in the elite under his command. And what about the other side? There are casualties, but they are minimal.

Not only that, but the eyes of the surroundings were looking into the distance: the cavalry of the Han army was slowly detouring from both sides of the battlefield at an extremely slow pace. I can't say it, at most an hour, the enemy's cavalry will encircle our side!

"This battle is lost! Great Wu is doomed! With this thought, Zhou Zhi no longer hesitated: "No difficulty army, listen to my order, the whole army turns, to break through to the south!" ”

Maybe it's because of the spirit of the heart, when the breakout order is issued around the corner. Shen Ying, who was in the right formation of the Wu army, also commanded the Xie Fu army to the north and began to break through.

The only thing that will not retreat is the Chinese army's tent circumambulation.

As the elite of the elite of Eastern Wu, the composition of the Tent Circle Army is extremely strict: the children of the clan and the children of martyrs. After all, this is a tent, the king's closest personal guard.

Moreover, their commander is still Zhang Yi!

However, it doesn't matter who commands it, no matter who makes up the troops. After all, it still can't stop the gap in objective strength. Two hours after the battle began, Zhou Chu and Shen Ying had already led the participating troops to break through. The mandarin duck array began to close the tent army.

The casualties increased rapidly, and many soldiers finally could not bear the despair and powerlessness of the battle, and began to spontaneously abandon their weapons and surrender to the Han soldiers.

Then, Zhang Yi, who was in the middle of the military formation, was still shouting for a fierce battle, and he didn't have any intention of giving up at all.

It's a late day. The dead of the Circumambulation Army, the surrender of the surrendered. At this time, there was only a force of about 200 people left, surrounded by Zhang Yi, surrounded by tens of thousands of Han legions.

Zhang Zun stepped forward at this time, raised his hand slightly, stopped the advance of his own soldiers, and stood in front of the formation: "General Wu on the opposite side is named!" ”

"Great Wu Shangshu Ling Zhang Yi!"

"It turned out to be Zhang Juxian. The general is Zhang Zun, the former general of the Han Dynasty. Brother Juxian, the battle is enough at this point, surrender, surrender at this time, there is no shame. ”

"Hehehehe~~ I, Zhang Yi, have been appreciated by Zhuge Yuanxun since I was a child, and have been cared for and taught many times. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he promoted me from a lieutenant to a scholar. Zhang Yi is deeply favored by the country, how can he descend? Besides, if Great Wu is about to die, there will be no monarch and ministers to be martyred for him. Wouldn't the country of Dawu be ridiculed by eternity. Today, Zhang Yi will never descend, and he is willing to die for the country! Die for the country, and live a happy life! ”

"We will swear to follow Shang Shuling to the death and die for the country!"

"Hey~~ Wu Guo, there are still national soldiers." With a leisurely sigh, Zhang Zun raised his right hand slightly: "Release the arrow!" ”

……

"Is this a defeat? Defeated......"

"Your Majesty, this is the situation of war. Juxian was martyred, Ziyin and Ziguang were defeated. Now, the Han army has marched towards Jianye! ”

“…… Such a large country, from the time the enemy sent troops, was destroyed in less than three months. Wen Bin, since ancient times, has there been a big country that has died so quickly? ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this, the Han army is coming in a flash. Where to go, please decide! ”

"Hahahaha~ I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Shun Min! Gather your school, and then dispatch the last 20,000 'elites' of my Great Wu, and I will personally conquer it. Even if you die on the battlefield, you can calmly go to see the emperors. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified. Now, whether it is the school under the ministers or the 20,000 army, they have almost escaped. In the entire Jianye, there are no more soldiers to fight. ”

"Hey~~" smacking his lips, Sun Hao quickly laughed: "Good, all the ministers, everyone is a monarch and a minister." At this time, I will not be embarrassed for you. I will go to the Hou (anti-harmony) palace later, kill my wife and children first, and then cut myself. Where are you going, please take care of yourself. ”

Of course, this is just to say, and the emperor himself could not have taken the initiative to say the word surrender anyway. The reason why Wan Yu was not on the battlefield was because he gave the emperor a step at this time?

"Your Majesty, why is this so. It's better to look at the Sima family, after they opened the city and surrendered, the Han family didn't embarrass them anything. On the contrary, according to the information of the school, you also know that the Sima family is actually living very well in Liangzhou now. Your Majesty might as well surrender here, with the relationship between Han and Wu's allies for many years, I think that the Han family will not embarrass Your Majesty after all. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, come down. The Han army is about to enter the city, even for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Jianye who are not suffering from military disasters, His Majesty should send someone to send a surrender table as soon as possible......"

"Bang dang~" The sword was still on the ground very happily: "It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really for the sake of the people of my Great Wu, so I have to surrender." This is the last thing I, the Emperor of Great Wu, did for the people. ”

On December 16, 277, Wan Yu, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, left the city and submitted Sun Hao's surrender table to Zhang Zun, the former general of the Ji Han Dynasty, only five miles away from Jianye.

From the time Sun Quan was officially proclaimed emperor in 229 AD, the country of Eastern Wu, after 48 years and four emperors, died so far.

From 184 AD, when the three Zhang Jiao brothers rebelled, the Eastern Han government began to lose effective control over the local area, and the troubled times began to count. The troubled times of 93 years have finally come to an end.
