Chapter 152: The Bloody Battle of Danyang (Part II)
The Chu general gathered heavy troops and besieged the Qin general Yinghua. Yinghua broke through left and right, but was beaten back by the Chu army. Yinghua experienced a hundred battles, and in the face of unfavorable situations, he did not panic and commanded his soldiers to fight against the Chu army. Wei Zhang stood in the city tower and also witnessed this scene. However, Yinghua was the clan of the Qin State and was deeply favored by the King of Qin. If Yinghua was besieged by the Chu army, he would die here. Even if Wei Zhang repelled the Chu army, he could not be reused by the King of Qin. As a result, Wei Zhang had to change the strategy he had formulated before, and led the main force out of the city to rescue Yinghua with all his might.
Yinghua saw that the rescue had arrived, and the Chu army was in chaos, and shouted: "Kill." ”
Suddenly, the morale of the Qin army was high.
General Chu besieged Yinghua, thinking that the outcome was decided. Who knows, the Qin army in the city was dispatched throughout the city. The Chu army faced Yinghua and was already exhausted. The Qin army reinforcements arrived, and the Chu army was in turmoil. Seeing this, General Chu gave the order to retreat. However, the order of the Chu generals to retreat was not conveyed to the Chu officers and soldiers in time. The Chu generals did not know, and the Qin army shouted that the Chu State was defeated. As soon as the Chu army retreated, it turned into a rout. Seeing this, Wei Zhang and Yinghua took advantage of the situation to pursue the Chu army. The Chu army was defeated and fled to Danyang.
At this time, Ying Ji repelled the Chu army in the north and led the army south to join Wei Zhang.
The Danyang guard general is the Chu general Qu Kuo. Qu Kuo didn't expect that the Chu army on the front line would be defeated so quickly and so miserably. He didn't have time to hold the generals of the defeated army accountable, and the army of Qin was already under the city. Qu Kuo stood in the city tower, staring at the black pressure of the Qin army outside the city, "General Feng, the current situation is not good for us!" ”
Feng Hou Chou pressed the long sword and said: "There are 80,000 soldiers in the city, and there are 100 generals, which is enough to fight with the Qin State." ”
Qu Kuo looked at the Qin army outside the city, and then looked back at Danyang City, "Danyang is the foundation of my Qu clan. We lost this battle. In the state of Chu, there is no longer a foothold for our Qu clan. ”
"The general is reassured. The soldiers in the city were enough to fight the Qin army. Feng Hou Chou waved his hand and said confidently: "The king learned that we were besieged by the Qin army, and he will definitely send people to come to the rescue." When the reinforcements have arrived, we should join forces inside and outside and kill the Qin people. ”
Qu Kuo smiled bitterly: "The current situation of the Chu State is controlled by the three families of Qu, Zhao, and Jing. Now we are besieged by the Qin army. Will the Zhao and Jing families send troops to rescue us? ”
"The Qin State defeated Danyang, and the Chu State was in danger." Feng Hou said ugly: "General Qu, don't panic. As long as we hold Danyang, the Qin army will retreat. ”
"General, the king can't control the situation in Chu State." Qu Kuo glanced at Fenghou Chou, turned his head to look at the Qin army outside the city, and sighed, "The Jing and Zhao families want to get rid of us by the hands of the Qin people. ”
Feng Hou Chou exclaimed: "General Qu, where do you say this." ”
"The arrival of the Qin people in Danyang, doesn't this explain everything?"
Fenghou's pupils widened when he heard the scandal, and he already realized the seriousness of the matter, "General Qu, you mean to say that the two generals, Zhaoju and Zhaorat, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. ”
"Zhao Ju and Zhao Rat did not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country." Qu Kuo let out a long sigh, "It's no secret that the Qu clan and the Zhao clan are fighting openly and secretly in the court of the Chu State and hindering each other. They want to get rid of us by the hands of the Qin people. ”
"If it is really as General Qu said, the situation is not in our favor."
"General, how long can the grain and grass in the city last?"
"The Qin people came suddenly, and there was no hoarding of grain and grass in the city. The grain and grass in the city could not last for ten days. ”
"Ten days." Qu Kuo said heavily: "Qu is finished." ”
"General Qu, the situation hasn't gotten so bad yet, how can you be so sad." Feng Hou Chou comforted: "There are still 80,000 soldiers in the city, which is enough to fight the Qin army." The last general believed that when the king learned that Danyang was besieged, he would send a large army to our aid. ”
"The Qin people besieged the city, and the momentum was huge. They won't give us much time. Even if the king learned that Danyang was besieged and immediately mobilized reinforcements to come to the rescue, it would be too late. Qu Kuo continued: "There is a shortage of food and grass in the city, there is a shortage of weapons, and the morale of the army is unstable. The Qin army attacked the city, and we were able to hold it for ten days, which was already the favor of heaven. We can't sit back and wait for the Qin army to attack the city. ”
Feng Hou said ugly: "What plan does General Qu have?" ”
Qu Kuo said: "Go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army." ”
Feng Hou said ugly: "Go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army." ”
"Not bad." Qu Kuo said: "The Qin army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, and the morale of our army has not decayed. Go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. We still have a chance to win. ”
At this time, Danyang was an isolated city. Qu Kuo and Feng Hou Chou understand, and Qin Jiang also understands the victory. The state of Qin besieged Danyang within a few days. The grain and grass in Danyang City are cut off, and there is no need for the Qin State to attack the city, and the Chu army will be in chaos. Instead of sticking to the city and waiting for reinforcements, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the morale is still declining, and go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army.
"General Qu is right." Feng Hou Chou nodded and agreed: "Defending the city is waiting for death." We went out of the city to compete with the Qin army. ”
Qu Kuo also believes that Da Chu Nan'er is invincible. Qin was no match for Chu. At that moment, Qu Kuo walked down the city tower, climbed the high platform, looked at the men of the Qu clan standing under the stage, and said loudly: "The army of the Qin State is outside, how should we deal with it." ”
Everyone said in unison: "Please give the order of the lord to go out of the city to meet the battle and kill the Qin people." ”
"Okay." Qu Kuo raised his voice and said: "You are worthy of being good men of the Qu family. Today, let's let the Qin people see the methods of the Great Chu man. This battle is not only related to the honor of the Chu State, but also to the life and death of my Qu clan. We can only win, not lose. ”
"The state of Chu will win, the state of Chu will win." The Qu boy made a sound like a raging wind.
Ying Ji is discussing how to take Danyang City. Suddenly, the gate of Danyang City opened, and the Chu army walked out of the city. The Chu army was under the city tower, setting up an attack formation. Qu Kuo drove forward and said sharply: "Who will be Qin, report your name." ”
Win shouted: "Win the disease." ”
Qu Kuo said: "The old man has heard your name. ”
Ying Ji said: "Thanks to the old general Qu Kuo for remembering me." ”
"Zhang Yi deceived my king first, and the Qin State attacked me later. Today, either you die or I die. Qu Kuo, pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "Protect my family and country, and kill foreign thieves." ”
The soldiers of the three armies of the Chu State shouted in unison, "Protect my family and country, and kill foreign thieves." ”
Qu Kuo said: "Long live the Chu State." ”
"Long live the state of Chu."
"Go to war." Chu Kuo's long sword pointed forward, and the soldiers of the Chu army rushed towards the Qin army like a tide.
Seeing the Chu army coming, Ying Jian drew his long sword and shouted, "Long live the Qin State." ”
"Long live the Qin State."
"Go to war."
……
Qu Yuan sent an envoy to the State of Qi, and the King of Qi was angry in his heart and deliberately snubbed him. Diplomatic relations, Qu Yuan naturally knew the power, and he was not in a hurry to enter the palace to meet King Qi.
On this day, Qu Yuan looked uneasy, and the corners of his eyes twitched abnormally, which seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen. All day, Qu Yuan was restless. When night fell, Qu Yuan had dinner, lay on the bed, and couldn't sleep. Qu Yuan got up and lit the lights to watch the national letter from the Chu State.
Qu Yuan saw the battle of Chongqiu, Chu won and Qin was defeated, and he was quite happy.
Qu Yuan looked at the other documents again, and after half an hour, he felt that his eyelids were heavy. Qu Yuan helped the case and slept. Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the house, and the lights flickered on and off. Qu Yuan looked up and saw a lot of people coming to the house, and asked, "Who are you, why didn't you report it and enter my room without permission." ”
But they did not answer, but bowed down.
Qu Yuan was puzzled, got up and went to investigate, and saw that these people were men from the Qu family.
Qu Yuan asked, "Aren't you resisting the Qin people?" How did you come to me? ”
The men still did not answer, but fell to their knees.
Qu Yuan was suspicious and asked, "You guys came to my room late at night, could it be that something happened to the Chu State?" ”
"Qu Yuan, come here."
Qu Yuan looked at the voice and saw that it was Qu Kuo, and saluted: "General Qu, why are you here." ”
Qu Kuo pointed to the people behind him, "Not only am I here, but they are also here to say goodbye to you." ”
"Brother Yuan." One person walked out, "My brother is leaving, I can't accompany you." ”
Qu Yuan shouted, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”
"Zuo Situ, we're leaving. I can't drink with you anymore. ”
Qu Yuan turned around, these people were all from the Qu clan, "If you want to drink, we will drink it." ”
"Brother Yuan, we are here to say goodbye to you. In the future, the Qu clan will rely on you. ”
"Qu Yuan, you are a good boy of our Qu clan. The mission of the Qu clan falls on your shoulders. Qu Yuan, you can't let me down. ”
"General Qu, what are you talking about?" Qu Yuan asked, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”
"Brother Yuan, we're leaving."
Qu Kuo said: "Qu Yuan, we are all leaving, you take care." ”
Everyone saluted and said in unison: "Zuo Situ, let's go." Take care. ”
Then, a strong wind blew up, and everyone disappeared.
"Where are you going, don't leave me alone. Big brother, General Qu, don't go, don't go. Qu Yuan woke up and found that his clothes were soaked with sweat. It turned out that I had a nightmare. However, how real and intimate the situation in the dream was. Qu Jia heard movement in the house, pushed open the door and walked in, lighting all the lights in the house. Suddenly, he saw Qu Yuan's six gods sitting on the ground and asked, "Zuo Situ, what's wrong with you." ”
Qu Yuan said: "I just had a dream. ”
Qu Jia asked, "Zuo Situ, what did you dream about?" ”
Qu Yuan looked up at him and told him all the scenes that happened in the dream.
"Zuo Situ, thinking of his homeland, he has this dream." Qu Jia comforted: "Zuo Situ, don't think about it. You've been too tired lately and need a good rest. ”
Qu Yuan held his forehead and sighed: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, it seems that I am really too tired." ”
The next day, Qu Yuan was still asleep. Qu Jia pushed open the door and came to Qu Yuan's bed. Qu Yuan woke up and saw Qu Jia in tears, and asked, "Qu Jia, what's wrong." ”
Qu Jia cried: "Zuo Situ, we have been defeated... Defeated. ”
Seeing that he was slurring his speech, Qu Yuan asked, "What is defeated?" ”
Qu Jia cried bitterly and said: "The Qin State has broken through Danyang. More than 70 generals, including Qu Kuo Lao General and Feng Hou Chou, died in battle. The Qin army killed 80,000 athletes of our army. The Qu clan is over. ”
"What you say, what you say. The Qin army broke through Danyang, and more than 70 generals such as Qu Kuo Lao General and Fenghou Chou, as well as 80,000 boys, were killed in battle. When Qu Yuan heard this, his mind was in turmoil and said: "How can the Qin State attack Danyang, and how can the Qu man be defeated." You don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense. ”
"Zuo Situ, this is true." Qu Jia took out a bamboo slip from the wide sleeves and cried bitterly: "This is a letter of state sent by the State of Chu. The state of Chu was defeated, and the Qu clan was finished. ”
After Qu Yuan snatched the national letter and looked at it, he ruthlessly put the national letter on the ground, and looked up to the sky and cried: "The state of Chu has been defeated. The state of Chu was defeated. ”
Qu Yuan was in deep love, blood came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.
Qu Jia hurriedly said: "Zuo Sikou." ”
Qu Yuan said with difficulty: "Go back to Chu State." ”
