Chapter 496: The Great War Often Meets Spring

The Wu army's camp was really well built.

Huizhou Road is a hilly place, so after Chang Yuchun, who is familiar with the local terrain, arrived, he directly built his camp in Jintianyuan, which is a few miles south of Moon Bay.

And this Jintianyuan, although it can only be regarded as a low hill with a low altitude.

But looking at a radius of ten miles, this place is an absolute commanding height. Moreover, two or three miles away from the river, the camp was built here, and the army did not need to worry about getting water at all. It is really a good place to build a camp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even though the Chu army that fought this time was an elite soldier and horse who had been in battle for a long time under Zhang Dingbian's tent, it was really difficult to attack the Wu army, which was nearly 20 zhang higher than himself.

At this time, the Huizhou Road was full of mountains and trees, and the Wu army, which built a camp to defend the camp, was not short of sasswood for defense at all.

The rain-like arrows were still falling at this time, at least the shields in the hands of the Chu saber and shield bearers could still be blocked.

But when the condescending Wu soldiers began to throw the sandalwood weighing dozens of catties, the formation of the Chu army couldn't help but be smashed by it in an instant.

"Quick, dodge, dodge!" Seeing that nearly a hundred pieces of sassafras that could be used as beams were thrown down by the condescending Wu soldiers, the Chu army, which was struggling to attack from the bottom up, was finally frightened at this time.

Therefore, without waiting for the generals in the army to give orders, the group of soldiers who rushed to the first row were frightened, and they couldn't help shouting and scattering.

But even so, this huge sassag, which was extremely fast and unstoppable by manpower, still smashed over hundreds of Chu soldiers at once, and the two Chu soldiers died tragically on the spot.

As a result, the morale of the Chu army could not help but be greatly reduced. They are all mortals in the flesh, and in the face of such a desperate situation, how can they not be afraid at all.

And with fear in their hearts, these soldiers naturally rushed more slowly in their footsteps. Some of the sword and shield men did not even dare to rush to the front of the group now, for fear that if they did so, they would be stoned to death by Wu Jun's heavy sasswood.

Therefore, seeing this, Zhang Dingbian, who was standing behind the formation, couldn't help but feel annoyed.

In this battle, he Zhang Dingbian recommended himself to ask for the vanguard. And the enemy is still the first brave general who is famous in western Zhejiang. It can be said that this battle has been regarded by Zhang Dingbian as a battle for his name in the Chu army. In this way, how could Zhang Dingbian give up.

So seeing that the soldiers in front of him had the intention of retreating, Zhang Dingbian didn't say a word, and directly let his personal guard commander rush forward with dozens of people. I can't help but say that in front of everyone, I killed more than a dozen fearful soldiers and grassroots generals in a row.

Then the sound of war drums was beaten even louder, so that the Chu soldiers who were afraid of military law had no choice but to rush forward.

……

"Oh, I can't help myself. Brothers, give me a hard beating, and kill all these Chu thieves who came to find death! ”

Occupying an absolute terrain advantage, Fang Cai achieved a lot of results without spending a single soldier, and the thousands of Wu troops who were defending the camp couldn't help but boost their morale.

I didn't see the Chu army rushing over again, and without waiting for Chang Yuchun, the main general, to urge anything, the grassroots generals in front of him spontaneously organized the sons and daughters under the tent to fight back.

All of a sudden, the Chu army, which was attacking head-on, couldn't help but suffer heavy casualties.

"General, give the order to collect the troops. This time, nearly a thousand people were killed and wounded, but they didn't even have a chance to engage with the Wu army. If we continue to fight like this, even if we fold all these seven thousand sons here, we won't be able to defeat this Wu army barracks! ”

In troubled times, soldiers and horses are the foundation of military generals.

When Zhang Dingbian's subordinates saw that their sons and daughters were killed almost in pieces, and they were killed in vain, these subordinates who were accustomed to treating their subordinates as their own private property could not do it at all.

But even so, Zhang Dingbian was still iron-faced, and he didn't pay any attention to the words of the generals to withdraw their troops.

He even scolded the generals who came to beg him to order the withdrawal of troops.

"This battle was the vanguard that the general invited himself to Marshal Zhang. Now, the marshal's order to withdraw troops has not been issued, and if there are anyone who dares to withdraw his troops, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! ”

After saying this, Zhang Dingbian personally came to the war drums, and then took the drumsticks from among the drummers and personally beat the war drums for the army.

……

"Wow! For! Zhang Dingbian beat the war drums for two moments, and when the soldiers under Zhang Dingbian's tent had already rushed to the front of Wu Jun for three zhang but were still repelled by Wu Jun, Zhang Shihui's sound of gold in the rear finally sounded.

Hearing this sound of gold, Zhang Dingbian, who was still beating the war drums, immediately dropped the drumsticks in his hand and hurriedly issued an order to withdraw his troops to the left and right.

Obviously, such casualties have long made Zhang Dingbian sad. Fang Cai's move was just a strong support.

But the more this happened, the more frustration in his heart became.

So when the soldiers under his account fled from the front line, Zhang Dingbian, who was deeply frustrated, couldn't help but take the initiative to come to Zhang Shihui's side, knelt on one knee, and asked Zhang Shihui, the boss, for his guilt.

"The last general was incompetent, and he lost thousands of sons, but he also failed to capture Jintianyuan. The loss of the army is broken, the results of the battle are not established, and the marshal is also asked to punish him! ”

"Hey, General Zhang, please get up, hurry up." Seeing this, Zhang Shihui immediately helped Zhang Dingbian, who was kneeling on the ground, up from the ground with his own hands, "I saw the previous battle. The Wu army condescendingly occupies a favorable position, and the general's setback is not the general's sin.

And thanks to the general, Ben Shuai also figured out the reality of the Wu army, and there is still General Lao. ”

comforted Zhang Dingbian who was doing his best, and then Zhang Shihui couldn't help but give the order to withdraw his troops.

……

"In today's battle, you have all seen it. The Wu army was condescending and occupied a full geographical advantage. Although our army is several times larger than Wu's army, if we blindly attack, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Gentlemen, all of you are the elite of my Great Chu, I don't know about this, what is the best way to break the enemy? ”

At night, Zhang Shihui called all the generals under his command to his tent, and then asked the generals about the plan to break the enemy.

After all, Zhang Shihui is really not very good at this. Although under the teaching of his brother, he has read a lot of military books in the past two years.

But compared to thinking about it himself, letting his subordinates share his worries for him is obviously more in line with Zhang Shihui's character.

And for Zhang Shihui's character, the generals who are familiar with him naturally know him very well. So when Zhang Shihui's voice fell, these generals in the camp also bowed their heads and thought about it.

"Marshal, you saw it too. Now the Wu army occupies a full geographical advantage, and the general of the Wu army, Chang Yuchun, is a well-known person in the Wu army. Against them, if you want to win within ten days, you can't be sure! ”

The generals pondered for a while, and Shi Kaida, as a close confidant, looked up at Zhang Shihui several times, but finally truthfully told Zhang Shihui what he thought.

"En......" Suddenly hearing Shi Kaida's words, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking a little unhappy.

But in the end, in the face of the generals in this tent, Zhang Shihui touched the beard on his chin, but finally couldn't help but sigh and said: "Gentlemen, in this battle, this commander does not require you to defeat the enemy before ten days.

This time, our army entered western Zhejiang, for the sake of Great Chu and the people of the world, not for any battle of will. Therefore, at this time, you don't want to think about breaking the enemy in ten days for Ben Shuai, do you understand! ”

"Huh. Marshal, if this is the case, his subordinates have indeed come up with a plan to break the enemy. Hearing Zhang Shihui say such a thing, Shi Kaida's face suddenly couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile.

So when Zhang Shihui's voice fell, he was very pleased with Zhang Shihui's words, so he hugged his fists and offered his strategy.

"Marshal, what the Wu army relies on at this time is just the terrain advantage brought by condescending. The strength of our army is several times that of Wu, and its combat strength is not worse than that of Wu's army at all. It can be said that as long as our army erases the geographical advantage of the Wu army, it will naturally be an easy thing to take down the Wu army.

In the eyes of the last general, the most sustained strategy to break the enemy this time was to mobilize the people and our Chu army sons and sons, and let them dig trenches on the hillside in a serpentine twist and turn. Then let me Wu Junerlang walk under the trench.

In this way, the huge stone sassal wood of the Wu army can no longer pose a threat to our army. And when the trench is dug, our sergeants will rush up, and it will be easy to break the enemy! ”

"This, hahaha, good, good. This plan is a great good, this plan is a great good. Gentlemen, then wait until tomorrow, and we will break the enemy according to this plan, what do you think? ”

"Obey the orders of the marshal!" When the generals heard this, they immediately responded to the order.

For Shi Kaida's strategy, they also agreed very much.

……

"General, the general Chu thief has attacked the camp again." Early the next morning, Chang Yuchun was eating breakfast hungrily after inspecting the camp. One of the guards under the tent hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army where he was like this.

However, in this regard, Chang Yuchun was not in a hurry, but continued to eat and drink as if nothing happened.

"The thieves who came to commit Chu were just a group of clowns who jumped off the beam. No worries, no worries. ”

He pretended to be calm, and finished his breakfast with a clear conscience, and then took his sword and walked out of the camp under the reassuring and admiring gazes of the guards under his tent.

However, when he climbed the watchtower used for observation again, the appearance of Fang Cai's bamboo in his chest was suddenly swept away.

Thousands of people, under the command of the Chu soldiers, began to dig trenches from under the source, and it was the kind of trench that zigzagged all the way up in a serpentine shape.

Seeing this, Chang Yuchun immediately understood what these people wanted to do.

Suddenly, he was still confident, and his face couldn't help but change again and again. In terms of troops, he is far from being at a disadvantage; In terms of combat strength, the combat strength of those well-trained soldiers who risked death yesterday was no worse than that of his sons.

The reason why the account has the courage to confront the Chu army head-on is only based on geographical advantages. If this condescending geographical advantage is smoothed out by the Chu army with such a hairstyle, the morale of the children under the tent will be plummeted.

"Quick, the crossbowmen in the generals are all gathered to release arrows for me, and shoot the Chu thief under the source for me!"

The situation has developed like this, and Chang Yuchun can only break the situation by taking the initiative. So in a short period of time, all the three thousand crossbowmen in the army couldn't help but assemble. Then with a condescending momentum, he began to throw arrows at the Chu army!

Today, the place where the Chu soldiers and civilians dug the trench is a hundred steps away from the condescending Wu army camp.

It is said that at this distance, unless it is a sharp weapon such as artillery and a divine arm crossbow, the general bow and crossbow will not have much lethality at this distance. But at this time, because the Wu army condescendingly occupied a full terrain advantage, the arrows thrown by the Wu army's crossbowmen this time were much more powerful than usual.

The three thousand Wu army crossbowmen shot their bows in three batches, and the arrows they shot couldn't help but be as dense as pouring rain.

Even though at this time, in order to protect the working people, the Chu army arranged thousands of sword and shield hands holding large shields, but there were still many people with extremely bad luck who were shot by arrows.

And in this way, the originally orderly team of people suddenly couldn't help but make a mess.

These people who dug trenches were the most ordinary people under the rule of the Chu army. Not to mention any battles, most of them have not even touched weapons. Once he found that his life was threatened, he naturally subconsciously threw away the tools in his hand and began to run away.

Especially when they saw those unlucky arrow-victims lying in a pool of blood and howling at the top of their throats, the frightened people couldn't help but run faster.

"Death to the retreating rat, kill!" Military law is ruthless, and mercy does not command soldiers. Seeing hundreds of people digging trenches fleeing back from the front, Shi Kaida, who was in charge of supervising the battle behind the battle, would not comfort them with good words.

Instead, he directly let the overseer team beside him show his cold and shining blades, killing the fastest group of people one by one.

"Poof!" The frightened head rose directly into the sky, and a cavity of neck blood suddenly splattered out under the pressure.

And seeing such a bloody and terrifying scene with their own eyes, the people who were still holding their heads and running around suddenly stopped.

"Give me to go back and continue to work, if I dare to retreat without an order, this is an example for you!" Shi Kaida, who had killed a man with his own hands, took the bloody head of the poor man and gave such an order to hundreds of people in front of him with a hideous face.
