By the beginning of March, the strength of the Qilu, Wei, and Yue Quartet forces to attack the Chu State had once again returned to the intensity of last autumn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the main battlefield of the three armies of Qi, Lu and Wei, the coalition forces played triumphant songs, and the coalition forces in the other two battlefields also made good progress.

On the side of Dongyue, Shaokang, a descendant of the king of Yue, led tens of thousands of Dongou troops, and joined forces with the Yushan army led by the Qi general Lu Qiutai, and once suppressed the Zhaoguan of the Chu State, which made the general of the Chu State Xiang Jiao who was sitting in the Zhaoguan Pass exhausted.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, Wu Qi, the general of the Dongou Army under the command of Shaokang, the lord of Yue, broke through the Que'an (ferry) in Diyangyi and occupied this Yangtze River port.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Wu Qi crossed the river to attack Diyang County, Xiang Jiao sent his uncle Xiang Qian to lead 20,000 troops to support Diyang County, the two armies of Chu and Yue fought fiercely for a whole day, the Chu army was defeated and retreated, and the Vietnamese army occupied Diyang.

At the same time, Gu Zhang, another general of the Dongou Army, led the army to break through the Yuan Mausoleum.

At this point, the four important cities in Diyangyi, Yuezhang, Zhanling, Que'an, and Diyang all fell, and the hometown of Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was confiscated.

After that, the Yue lord Shaokang was unable to conquer the Zhaoguan guarded by Xiang Jiao, the general of the Chu State, so he decided to change his strategy and attack Jiujiang County in a roundabout way.

After hearing the news of the invasion of Jiujiang County by the Vietnamese army, Peng Lijun Xiong Yi was greatly frightened, and sent the general Sun Gu to lead 40,000 Peng Li troops to quickly enter Songyang to resist Wu Qi of the Dongou army, and the Songyang Battle lasted three days broke out.

Three days later, Wu Qijiu, the general of the Dongou Army, attacked Songyang for a long time, so he made a detour to the north and attacked Tongxian, which lasted two days to conquer the county.

During this period, Junxiong sent 30,000 Chu troops to Qianxian for a long time.

As a result, the Yue general Wu Qi then took Zong County, and then the Huaiyi Campaign, which lasted for 18 days, broke out.

The Vietnamese army played a triumphant song and put on a posture of wanting to attack all the way north to the king of Chu, Shouying, but at this moment, Xiang Jiao of Zhaoguan sent a surprise army to cut off Wu Qi's rear grain route.

However, this move angered the Yue general Wu Qi, causing Wu Qi to turn back and attack the Lu (Tuo) Gao in the rear of Zhaoguan.

At this time, Xiang Jiao was the Yue lord Shaokang, and the Yue general Wu Qi was later, and there was the Yushan Army led by the Qi general Lu Qiutai on the side, which can be said to be surrounded by enemies on three sides.

However, this cousin of Xiang Mo is worthy of being the leader among the children of the Xiang family, with one enemy and three enemies, he can still desperately defend Zhaoguan and Lugao, which not only curbs the momentum of the Northern Expedition of the Dongou Army, but also makes the Qi general Lu Qiutai return repeatedly in vain.

Lu Qiutai, the Qi general who attacked all the way from the Yushan Fortress of Qi to Zhaoguan, has never established meritorious deeds so far, and has almost been reduced to the role of playing soy sauce.

Speaking of the war situation on the West Vietnamese side, the strength of the West Vietnamese rebels was far inferior to the Dongou Army led by the East Yue Lord.

At the end of last year, Shouling Jun Jingshe withdrew his troops and went to Juyang County to defend against the Wei army, which finally gave the West Vietnamese rebels a breather.

It's a pity that although Shouling Jun Jingshe left Nanyang County, there is still Xiling Jun Qu Ping here.

With the assistance of Peng Lijun Xiong Yi and Yanyang Jun Xiong Quan, although he failed to launch a counteroffensive to regain the lost territory, he steadily held a large area of land in Nanyang County and Jiujiang County.

I have to say that from the beginning to the end of this battle, in addition to containing the contribution of Xiling Jun Qu Ping, the West Vietnamese rebels did almost nothing in the entire campaign, and completely reduced to the role of soy sauce, which was not as good as the Yushan Army led by the Qi general Lu Qiutai.

On the main battlefield of the Qi, Lu and Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance, since Zhao Hongrun led the Wei merchant army in late February to arrive at the outskirts of the city twenty miles northwest of Shouying, the king of Chu, the coalition army and the Chu army stationed under the capital of the Chu king, launched a suburban melee that lasted for more than ten days.

The scale of the melee ranged from a scout team of dozens of people to an army of nearly 10,000 people.

Overall, however, the coalition forces are still showing relative restraint as they are ramping up their build-up of siege engines.

During this period, due to the retreat of the Yanling army and the Shangshui army from Xuanxian County one after another, Xu Yin, the general of Wei, had no choice but to lead the Fencheng army to retreat to Xuanxian.

Fortunately, before Zhao Hongrun led the army to leave, he had sent the green crows to send orders to the cavalry and the cavalry of northern Sichuan, and ordered Bo Xile and Youma to cut off the grain route from Juyang County to Fang Zhong, so that the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, would always be in a state of hunger, otherwise, if Xiang Mo got enough food, Yu County would inevitably be conquered by him within a few days.

On the side of Caixi County, the fierce battle between the Yanling army and the 80,000 Chu army became more and more intense, and even during this period, Caixi County was attacked from Haoshang County, but Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, steadily defended the city, so that the two Chu armies returned in vain.

However, if you want to say the most beautiful, it has to be the main general of the Yanling army, Qu Cheng, who was born to the side branch of the Chu State surnamed Qu who was very ambitious in the eyes of Zhao Hongrun, not only successfully ambushed Shouling Jun Jingshe for a time, but also repelled Jingshe who tried to unite the remaining two local Chu troops to recapture Caixi County several times.

I believe that this incident is probably the most shocking and eye-catching event of the Chu people in this battle so far.

After all, Qu Cheng is also a child of the Qu clan no matter how he says, and no one can be sure whether his rise will make the Qu clan of Chu State have a different mind.

You must know that so far, several clans surnamed Chu Guomi, Xiong, Jing, Xiang, and Jilian, have all contributed one after another, either taking the initiative to send troops to block the enemy troops that have invaded the country, or sending troops to support Wang Du Shouying, but only Qu Ping, the king of Xiling, led the troops to the battle, and the rest of the Qu clan's children have not moved so far.

But it's no wonder, after all, among the several clans surnamed Mi, the Qu clan is the most ruthless one of the Xiong clan's suppression, and their hatred of the Xiong clan may have already reached the point of not dying, therefore, except for Xiling Jun Qu Ping, a Qu clan member who is known for his loyalty and virtue, is willing to contribute to the country, the rest of the Qu clan, I'm afraid few people are willing to wade into this troubled water.

In the final analysis, today's Chu State is a situation where the Xiong clan dominates: the Chu State is the Xiong Clan, and the Xiong Clan is the Chu State.

By mid-March, the siege weapons of the Qilu-Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance Army had been almost built, and the strength of those Chu soldiers outside the city of Shouying, the king of Chu, had gradually been figured out with the melee for a while, so that on March 19, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, finally sent an order to Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan, telling the two that they would attack tomorrow!

It's finally here, the last battle......

On 20 March, when Zhao Hongrun led tens of thousands of merchant troops to the capital of Shouying, the king of Chu, and arranged troops on the outskirts of the city, he was really excited.

After all, this national battle lasted for several months, and it was up to him to see the outcome of this final battle.

If the coalition army breaks through Shouying, the king of Chu, the vitality of the Chu State will be greatly damaged, as long as the King of Qi Lu Xi can still hold on, the Chu State will not be able to do it and will be in danger of extinction; If the coalition army is defeated, all the previous hard work will be in vain, and he, Zhao Hongrun, can only flee back to Xiangcheng with the remnants of the defeated army.

On that day, the weather was clear, and the sun hanging in the sky had already gained some temperature, shining warmly on people.

At this moment, looking into the distance, there is no longer a white snowfield, because the ice and snow have long since melted, and only some remnants of ice and snow remain.

But because of this, the land on the outskirts of the city generally looks muddy and slippery, no, Zhao Hongrun's war horse under the crotch, the horse's hooves have slipped many times, fortunately, his riding skills have improved greatly, otherwise if he falls off the horse in front of everyone, this is really a shameless matter.

Compared with Zhao Hongrun, Qi Jiang's riding skills are much more difficult, looking at her frowning and concentrating on controlling the war horse under her crotch, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but want to laugh.

"It's so hard...... Why don't you come to me? ”

After a few times, Zhao Hongrun pointed in front of him and said as if teasing.

Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun, his pretty face was slightly red, and he didn't know if he was angry or because of Zhao Hongrun's teasing.

But the words she spoke, however, were full of sarcasm.

"Before the big war, you were still in the mood to tease me, it seems that you have the chance to win."

"Winning is in hand...... Is it? ”

Zhao Hongrun chuckled lightly when he heard this, and then involuntarily turned his head to look into the distance, only to see that in the direction of Shouying, the king of Chu in the distance, in the suburbs of that city, it was the "black tide" that connected the sky and the earth - countless Chu soldiers, the crowd was surging, as if they were gathering into an ocean.

Such quantities...... If the merchant army rushes in, it may be swallowed up without even a bubble.

Zhao Hongrun took a light breath and dispelled the tension in his heart.

No wonder he felt nervous, because the number of Chu soldiers deployed on the western outskirts of Shouying, which he was responsible for attacking, was so large that he felt troublesome on his scalp.

made him realize more and more deeply that even if there was only one advantage of a large population, the state of Chu was not something that his current Wei state could compete with on his own.

"Your Highness."

Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shang Water Army, rode to Zhao Hongrun's side, looked at the "Black Tide" in the distance, licked his lips and said, "It will be a ...... It's a terrible battle. ”

……

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wu Ji, because he felt that the general who was promoted by him couldn't help but be a little nervous at the moment, even timid.

Not to mention the meaningless sentence in Wu Ji's sentence, it is very problematic to say that the young general came to him at this moment, instead of preparing for the arrangement of troops.

You know, if he Zhao Hongrun is the chief commander, then Wu Ji is a second-level commanding general, how could the main and secondary commanders stay together in a war with a wide geographical span in World War I? Is there still a need for a deputy commander?

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't say much, after all, don't say that Wu Ji would be nervous, even if it was him, wouldn't he be hesitant at the moment?

It's just that Zhao Hongrun, as the commander of the Wei army, can't show it.

After thinking about it, he didn't answer Wu Ji's words, but said in a deep voice: "In this battle, our side will win!" ”

"......" Wu Ji glanced at Zhao Hongrun in astonishment when he heard this, and for some reason showed a relieved lightness, nodded and said: "What His Highness said is extremely true, our side will win!" ”

With that, he hugged his fist towards Zhao Hongrun and left.

It didn't take long for the merchant army behind Zhao Hongrun to murmur one after another.

"Victory!"

"Victory!" (To be continued.) )
