Chapter 497: The Great War Meets Spring (2)
It has to be said that most of the time, violence is indeed more powerful than words.
When the nearly 100 fastest runners were slashed by the Chu army behind them, the rest of the people were immediately like frightened children, hurriedly returned to the place where they were working, picked up the tools they had thrown on the ground and continued to work.
Even in this process, many people fell to the ground with arrows, but under the high pressure of the Chu army, the people still did not dare to stop their work.
Therefore, in just one day, the distance between the trench and the Wu army camp was shortened by almost one-fifth.
……
At night, the generals of the Wu army gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in the spring.
However, at this time, these Wu generals no longer had the same ease on their faces. All of them were sad and depressed.
"General, we must hurry up and come up with a way to break the enemy. If it continues like this, then it will only take five or six days for the Chu thieves to dig the trench in front of our camp. At that point, our army is in danger! ”
A thousand-household official was the first to lose his breath and stood up, and then told Chang Yuchun what he thought.
However, in this regard, Chang Yuchun was silent after glancing at the thousands of officials. It wasn't until the Qianhu official who took the initiative to stand up didn't know whether he should continue to stand or sit down now, that Chang Yuchun opened his mouth, "Everything today, you all see in your eyes."
The Chu thieves want to neutralize the terrain advantage of our army in this way, so I don't know what to do about it. ”
"......" Youdao is most afraid of the sudden silence of the air. When Chang Yuchun asked this, Nuoda's tent suddenly became silent.
Although the generals present knew that if they couldn't think of a plan to break the enemy, they would most likely be pressed and beaten by the Chu army relying on their own strength advantage. But the people present are not Zhuge Kongming, so there are so many magic tricks available.
Besides, Chu Thief's method this time is really shameless. The trench was dug two steps wide and a person, and the people did not need to show their heads when they walked into the trench. Moreover, this trench is still a serpentine trench that zigzags upward, even if it is condescendingly throwing wood, it will not be able to exert any power in the face of such a trench.
In this way, this group of generals can't think of any good plans to achieve it.
After all, compared with the Chu army, their strength and combat power are not superior. If you are condescending and stick to the camp, you can still fight this battle. But if you go down and meet the Chu army with a white blade, you will have to be surrounded by the Chu army.
So for a while, all the generals in the camp looked at me, I looked at you, but none of them stood up to offer advice.
In this way, Chang Yuchun, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but clench his fists.
"The geographical advantage here is the biggest reliance of our army, so no matter what, we must not let the Chu army break the situation like this. Tomorrow, whether you use a trebuchet or a sassal wood to attack and kill, you must block the Chu thief from the source. Do you understand! ”
"Yes, I'll do as I was told!"
……
Chizhou Road, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, at this time, has completely fallen into the pocket of the Chu army.
Not long after Ming Yuzhen led the army to capture Guichi City, Zhang Shihui used the method of digging ditches to attack Chang Yuchun in Huizhou, that is, on the eighth day of June in the 19th year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shihua, as the lord of Great Chu, finally led more than 100,000 troops under his command and drove into Chizhou Road.
As for the Wu army, when Chizhou Road, the land of Tuntian, was taken away by the Chu army, the Wu army only needed to concentrate the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Ningguo Road, Taiping Road, Jiqing Road and other places in the three cities of Taiping. Among them, Fanchang City, which was a small city in Xia County, was used as an outpost by the Wu army because the city was too small to hoard a large army, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed.
But the remaining cities of Wuhu and Dangtu were the armies of the Wu army.
Among them, Wuhu is the granary of the Wu army, so it is enough to garrison 30,000 troops, which are personally commanded by the famous first general of the Wu army, Xu Da.
And when Tu was in charge, it was the original Taiping Road guard - Hua Yun, who commanded more than 15,000 soldiers and horses.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, the supreme leader of the Wu army, I have to say that this is really a calm person. Even at such a juncture, he is still in Jinling City, Jiqing Road, with confidence and confidence. Like a true leader, take control.
Therefore, even if Zhang Shihua still commanded more than 100,000 troops to arrive in Chizhou, in the face of such an opponent, Zhang Shihua, who seemed to have an absolute advantage, still did not dare to act rashly.
Instead, he hibernated like a swordsman who would kill him if he didn't make a move, waiting for the news on the Huizhou Road side, and preparing for this summer harvest.
After all, at this time, Wu Jun's grain in the Tuntian on Chizhou Road was about to be harvested.
The Chu army has more than 100,000 troops, and if a war starts, it is estimated that more than 200,000 people will need to be requisitioned.
In this way, Zhang Shihua naturally has too much food and grass. In this way, he naturally needs to prepare well.
However, since he had led more than 100,000 troops to Chizhou, Zhang Shihua naturally couldn't do nothing.
No, on the afternoon of the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, a group of refugees who had fled from the military disaster went from the land to the border of Chizhou and with difficulty with the crowd to the distant east of Zhejiang.
……
"Kill, !!" On the ninth day of the sixth month, it was the ninth day of the month.
Taking advantage of the fact that the clouds blocked the moon and caused an excellent nightfall, the two thousand Wu soldiers and soldiers could not help but take advantage of the night to rush down from the Jintianyuan where they were stationed, and first silently and carefully rushed straight towards the Chu army camp under the source.
However, the Chu army had already prepared, so it just waited for the two thousand Wu troops to rush outside the Chu army camp.
The lights in the Chu army camp couldn't help but turn on, and then the Chu soldiers who counted before couldn't help but rush out from all directions, shouting that this would surround the two thousand Wu regiments.
Seeing this, the general of the Wu army who led the troops to rush down to Gaoyuan couldn't help but be frightened.
When he didn't care about any night raids and stealing camps, he hurriedly turned around and rushed back with the soldiers around him. Therefore, for a while, the source couldn't help but kill a ball.
At this time, thousands of Chu troops relied on this huge advantage in strength to eat all the 2,000 Wu troops who had managed to get out of the turtle shell.
Wu Jun, on the other hand, struggled to break through in order to survive. For a time, the two sides were inseparable.
Therefore, seeing this, Wu Junqianhu, who was worried about his comrades, couldn't help but come to Chang Yuchun's body and knelt down on one knee to ask Chang Yuchun for battle.
"General, the current encirclement of the Chu thieves has not yet been synthesized, please prepare for the general to lead the headquarters of the army and horses to attack. The last general is willing to make a military order to the general, and he will definitely save the brothers under the source. ”
"Save, what do you save. Since the Chu thief has been prepared for it this time, if you lead your subordinates down, won't you go to the net! Seeing the two thousand athletes under his command walking into the enemy's trap like this, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but be angry.
However, he is still a more rational person in the end, and after scolding the general who came to scold him, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shouted to the surroundings: "Now, everyone cheer me up and hold the camp." Those who leave the camp without permission will be killed! ”
……
"This Chang Yuchun is really worthy of its reputation, and at this time, it is still so calm." Under the source, in the blind spot that they couldn't see, Zhang Ding, who led 3,000 soldiers and horses as ambush soldiers, looked at the Wu army camp that was not abnormal at all, and still couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart.
But in the end, it was the masters, after admiring, Zhang Dingbian immediately issued an order to the surrounding soldiers to attack and encircle.
After all, the Wu army made it clear that it did not mean to continue to send troops to reinforce it, and it would be a waste of time to continue to defend it. Today, it was not easy to wait for the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Wu army to come out of his turtle shell, and Zhang Dingbian didn't want to let one of the two thousand Wu troops go.
Yes, when he heard a shout of killing, Zhang Dingbiandang, who was an ambush, led the three thousand sons under his tent to rush out and kill him.
"Kill, !!" The deafening shouts of killing were louder and louder in the night, and the sound was so loud that even the defenders of Wuyuan City ten miles away could hear it.
Therefore, Chen De, the Wu general stationed in Wuyuan, couldn't help but not agree all night, and as he was targeted by nearly 30,000 Chu troops, he couldn't help but look forward to a miracle.
……
General Han died in the chaos, and General Wang was seriously injured and unconscious. It took us all our strength to rush out of the encirclement of the Chu thieves, and the rest of the brothers were ...... They were all killed. ”
At dawn, Chang Yuchun, who had also not slept all night, listened to the report of the deputy Qianhu who was covered in blood to him, and his face couldn't help but change again and again.
The 2,000 soldiers he sent out to attack the camp at night only broke out of the siege of the Chu army and only 300 people. And even so, these more than 300 people are still injured, and it is still unknown whether they can survive the injuries in such a hot weather.
Therefore, these 2,000 people can be regarded as the total annihilation of the army. lost 2,000 soldiers and horses at once, even Chang Yuchun, who was heroic and never put difficulties in his eyes, couldn't help but feel powerless in his heart.
"Okay, I understand, you can step back and recuperate." The crackling sound of his fist clenched, it took all his strength to suppress the negative emotions that surged in his heart, Chang Yuchun waved his hand to let the Qianhu retreat, and then a pair of eyes looked around, and his face couldn't help but become more and more ugly.
No, absolutely not anymore.
Looking at the frustrated generals around him who had no energy at all, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but roar in his heart with his fists clenched and even stabbed his nails into his flesh.
"The thief killed my brother and deceived me too much." Deciding that he had to do something, he looked around and gritted his teeth and said this. Then, when the generals were defenseless, they couldn't help but suddenly pull out the saber at their waist, threw the saber on the ground fiercely, and roared with a hideous face: "If you don't take revenge, how can you be a person." Today, Ben is going to personally lead the troops into battle, I don't know if you dare to follow you!? ”
"What !!"
Suddenly, when they heard this, the generals in the tent were shocked.
"The general must not be angry with the division!"
"That's right, General, our army just suffered a crushing defeat last night, and its morale has not recovered.
"The general thinks twice, the general thinks twice!"
The generals should come over, and then they couldn't help but be advised.
In their minds, at this time, Xia Yuan attacked even more stupidly than Xia Yuan last night. The Chu army just promised a big victory, killing nearly 2,000 of their soldiers and horses at once.
In this way, none of the generals in the tent were willing to take the initiative to attack with Chang Yuchun at this time.
However, seeing this, Chang Yuchun looked around at the generals for a week, but instead of being angry, he laughed, "You think that this is to attack this matter to find death!" So since you and the others all think so at this time, what will the Chu thief who has just won a big victory think.
They have just now won a great victory over our army, and their morale is high. But it is precisely because of this that the Chu thief's defense against us at this time is undoubtedly the weakest. On the Chu thief's side, they definitely didn't expect our army to attack at this time, they would only think that our army would only dare to cower in the camp now.
With a calculating heart or not, our army will be able to kill condescendingly, and will definitely be able to catch the Chu thieves under the source by surprise. Therefore, in the eyes of the general, it is the right time to fight at this time. So, the others have no brave warriors, are they willing to go to the source together at this time!? ”
"This ......" Hearing Chang Yuchun say such words, the generals in the tent couldn't help but fall silent.
But there is a saying that 'there are no weak soldiers under a good general'. Since Chang Yuchun was recognized by Wu Jun as the first brave general in western Zhejiang, there was naturally no shortage of brave and brave people under his account.
Therefore, not long after Chang Yuchun's voice fell, the two generals with their backs on their backs stood up from the crowd one after another, shouting at the top of their voices: "The last general is willing to go to war with the general and drive for the general!" ”
"Hahahaha, good, good, good! In this way, pass on the order of my army, and let the firehead army prepare a meal immediately, and after they have eaten enough, they will go out with me to fight. ”
"Yes, the last general commands!"
……
Under the source, in the Chu army camp, after eating a meal that was not a sumptuous meal, Deng San'er, a loyal and brave soldier, patted his stomach comfortably, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, picked up his blade, and prepared to continue digging the trench with the people.
Last night, Wu Jun took advantage of the night to steal the camp. Deng San'er was extremely lucky, and personally killed one of Wu's ten commanders and got a beheading.
Therefore, at this time, Deng San'er has also become a "corporal" with military rank in the Chu army.
Although now because of the fighting, he has not been able to carry the copper strip on his shoulders. But Deng San'er still couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
Among the Chu army, the rewards and punishments are clear, and he is not worried that his merits will be replaced by others. Therefore, now he has officially become a superior person who has completely bid farewell to the pain of labor.
