Wen Chong returned to Huiji City and brought the situation on the front line, hoping to get the sympathy of the Vietnamese people and get their funding. However, Wen found that the people of Yue actually chose to watch coldly in an unthinkable way. Every Vietnamese nationalist has no intention of funding the army, only the families of those conscripted soldiers who are willing to contribute some rice and food to their families. As for the money, there is no money.

As the so-called freezing three feet is not a cold, it is not without reason that the people of the Yue country do this.

At the beginning, Gou Jian had just ascended the throne, and he was invaded by the army led by the monarch of Wu Guolu. In the end, Gou Jian relied on his strategy to defeat Wu Guo by luck, and also let He Lu die. This made the people of Yue very excited, the feud between Wu and Yue, they thought that Gou Jian was a master of Zhongxing! But Gou Jian disappointed them, and instead of taking advantage of the victory, Gou Jian thought that the danger had passed.

So Gou Jian lived a luxurious and luxurious life, and every three days he had to do not go to the court, but hunt. Every day's meals must be accompanied by singing and dancing, which makes the burden on the people of Vietnam very heavy.

Naturally, the people of Yue were disappointed in Gou Jian. Then, two years later, I heard that my husband was going to send troops to the country. Gou Jian led the soldiers and horses to attack the Wu State, and was defeated by the Wu army in Fujiao, with 30,000 Vietnamese troops! As a result, only 5,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers fled back to the Yue Kingdom, and in the end they could only hide on Huiji Mountain to survive.

There are also Wu troops who were killed and captured by the Wu army along the way, and the heavy casualties made every household in the Yue country wear linen and filial piety. The white flags fluttered in the wind, and the air of the entire Yue country exuded the atmosphere of the people of the Yue country of sorrow for their relatives.

From expectation to disappointment, this is Gou Jian's first heavy injury to the people of Vietnam, it can be said that Gou Jian personally took the people into the sky, but it was also he who let go of his palm and let the people fall into the abyss.

As a result, the Yue people survived the three-year arduous reign of Wu, during which the soldiers of Wu were rampant, and the people of Yue fell into misery. At this time, Gou Jian came back, and he sincerely admitted the mistakes he had made before, hoping that the people could forgive him, and he would lead the people to prosperity.

The Chinese people forgave him, but it didn't take long for the Yue and Han armies to go to war, which led to the destruction of the Yue farmland, and the Yue country was doomed to a poor harvest. But Yue is still fighting, which has led to soaring prices, and even if it is forgotten, Yue is still defeated. This makes the people of Yue feel that they believe in Gou Jian too much? The essence of Gou Jian is still that gentleman.

But this time Gou Jian broke their hearts again, and it was clear that in normal years, there were food prices in disaster years. That's because Gou Jian would rather give food to Wu Jun than to his own countrymen. There are also two good governances, the former has not seen the cancellation of the rewarded grain, and the latter has not been seen for a day when the grain has been opened. That's because Gou Jian sold grain to grain merchants in order to make money!

Gou Jian once again gave hope to the people of Yue, but once again threw this hope into the abyss. In the eyes of most Chinese people, this is the fact. With such a heavy injury, how can the people of Yue have a sense of identity with Gou Jian?

Wen Chong was also helpless, at this time, the grain of Huiji City had been transported to Linggu with Gou Jian a few days ago. And other grains are everywhere. In the end, in order to ensure the rations of the front-line soldiers, Wen Chong had to order the forced requisition of food. In fact, there is not much food for Wen Chong, a total of only 150 stone of grain. This food is enough for the Vietnamese soldiers on the front line to eat for two days.

It is distributed to nearly 1,500 households, and each household is just a little more than a bucket of grain! But the problem is that the culture sends people with swords and spears to collect these grains.

The station naturally came out to fan the flames, but the ability of the literary genre was still good, and in the end it did not cause a riot among the people. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that there is not much grain levied by the culture, each household is only one bucket, and no one will be willing to splash blood for five steps for a bucket of rice. However, the attitude of the people of the Yue Kingdom towards the Han State and the Yue Kingdom was also neutral, and slowly changed to favor the Han army.

In this difficult situation, Yu Yong still found a way to encourage the soldiers, even after Yang Zilu knew about it, he admired this opponent. After hurriedly eating the rations sent by Wen Chong, Yu Yong immediately gathered all the Vietnamese soldiers to the open space in the camp. The soldiers were summoned, but everyone was dejected, and those who didn't know said that they had just fought a defeated battle.

Yu Yong still walked up to the high platform in a white robe, glanced at the dejected Vietnamese soldiers, and said in a tone of suppressed anger: "Guess what I saw? A bunch of dejected rats? Or a rabbit? ”

A group of people couldn't help but glared at Yu Yong, who gritted his teeth and said, "Oops! I thought you all had no temper, what are you all doing? If your money is robbed and your food is burned, you will only be discouraged! Don't you hate? ”

All the Vietnamese soldiers looked at Yu Yong, already with a hint of sarcasm.

Yu Yong disagreed, and continued: "When I see your eyes, I know what you want to say!" Oh, they're barbarians! No, in that heart, it should be called the invincible Han Iron Army! How are we their opponents! Do you think so? ”

When Yu Yong said this, he paused, and then continued: "Is the Han barbarian very powerful?" What's so special about the barbarians compared to us? Are they all three-headed and six-armed? That one is not the same as you, a head! Two hands! Two legs! Why should you be afraid of them? Why are they only allowed to rob us of our money, and why are they only allowed to burn our grain? The barbarians are full of money and silk that you would never think of, and they are full of grain as high as a mountain. Defeat the Han Barbarians, and you can get back your own share, as well as the Han Barbarian's share! Do you dare to fight? ”

Everyone was violently stimulated by the words of the tongue, and the Vietnamese soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and roared: "Dare! ”

"Louder!" The tongue roared in the sky.

"Dare to !!" This time, the sound was even higher than before, and it was almost like a mountain of seas, overwhelming the world.

"Good! You are the warriors of the Great Yue Kingdom! It is the descendant of Dayu! When he heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

As soon as the morale of Yu Yong was rectified, Yang Zilu had already received the news from the station. After reading it, Yang Zilu handed the letter to Hou Xiong, who was sitting on the side.

Hou Xiong looked at it at a glance and looked at Yang Zilu with some doubts.

Yang Zilu asked, "What do you think?" ”

Hou Xiong didn't quite understand what Yang Zilu meant by this move, and he replied honestly: "It's not easy to deal with, I can't imagine that the tongue Yong has reached this point and still arouses the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army." ”

Speaking of this, Hou Xiong was a little enlightened, stunned, and asked, "What does the Lord mean, I hope to be able to subdue the tongue?" ”

"Clever! I understood the widow's mind at once! Yang Zilu did not hide her intentions at all.

"I'm afraid it's hard!" Hou Xiong frowned and said, "Although Yu Yong is a great general, he is very loyal to Gou Jian, and he is not as easy to fool as the people of Yue Kingdom!" ”

"Nonsense, if it's easy to do, will the widow still use you for advice?" When Yang Zilu heard this, she said with some annoyance.

Hou Xiong smiled bitterly: "But the minister really can't think of any way, but probably when the Yue Kingdom perishes, he will surrender to the lord, right?" ”

Yang Zilu frowned when she heard this, although she was not very satisfied with Hou Xiong's strategy, Yang Zilu still didn't say anything. Many of the strategies are either deliberate or sparkling. However, now Hou Xiong and he do not have these two conditions, and Yang Zilu can only let go of this matter for the time being. The most important thing now is to defeat the Vietnamese army, and until the Vietnamese army is defeated, any idea is in the fog.

On the third day of arrival at Huiji City, the positions between the Han and Vietnamese armies were immediately reversed. This time, the Han army took the initiative to fight, and the Vietnamese army stood outside their own camp, but in terms of time, Yang Zilu chose to start the battle at noon.

The reason for this time is because of the location, the Han army is in the west, and the Vietnamese army is in the east. If the battle starts in the morning, the sunlight will seriously affect the sight of the Han soldiers, but at noon, it is naturally not, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Han army.

Some people may say, wouldn't it be better to watch it directly in the afternoon? The afternoon is good, but sometimes the time of the war is too fast to react, and sometimes it is long and depressing. Overall, two hours of battle time is very likely, and after two hours, it is already dark.

At this time, the Han army defeated the Yue army, and by the night, the rout of the Vietnamese army easily escaped the pursuit of the Han army. In this way, the number of Vietnamese soldiers killed and wounded by the Han army will not be very large, and the main force of the Vietnamese army will eventually be preserved. This allowed the Vietnamese army to preserve the capital of the salted fish to turn over, which is not what Yang Zilu hopes to see.

And Yang Zilu's biggest target now is Tongue Yong, who is likely to flee the battlefield under the cover of night, which is what Yang Zilu is even more unwilling to see, in Yang Zilu's view, a Tongue Yong is comparable to the value of 3,000 Vietnamese troops.

Yu Yong felt very aggrieved about starting a war at this time, but now that the initiative of the war was with Yang Zilu, he had nothing to do about it. If the Vietnamese army follows the example of the Han army and sticks to the camp, it will not make the soldiers hungry tigers like the Han army. The soldiers of the Vietnamese army will just have a negative mentality and become a worm.

Besides, in the siege of the city, Tongue Yong did not think that the camp he built would be stronger than Zhuji City, so Tongue Yong could only choose to face the battle. The current tongue Yong is still the lesser of two evils, although the tongue Yong is very aggrieved, but the tongue Yong has nothing to do about it.

Although it was noon and the sun was high, the March sun was not scorching, but rather gave people a warm feeling. This made both the Han and Vietnamese armies very satisfied, fighting in such weather.

"Attack!" Seeing that the Han army was already lined up, Yang Zilu held the long sword on his waist and ordered in a deep voice.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The blood-pumping drums immediately sounded.

Amid the sound of war drums, three phalanxes of 700 men slowly advanced, each of which was composed of two zhang long spears, and the soldiers in the front row were equipped with a rectangular wooden iron-clad tower shield, which looked extremely powerful.

Behind them were three hundred longbowmen with tall bows and two hundred crossbowmen with crossbows. The sword and shield soldiers, consisting of 600 cavalry and 400 slaves, were divided into two equal parts, and the two flanks of the phalanx were guarded.

The formation of the Vietnamese army is a typical battle formation of the Spring and Autumn Period, with the remnants of 58 military vehicles arranged on the front line, only a long single line, and behind each military vehicle are 25 soldiers. The extra ones are divided into two wings. Such a battle formation is very simple, relying solely on the formation of military vehicles to tear apart, and the infantry behind it is to expand the results of the battle.

Although it was known that the Han army sounded the drums of the attack, the Vietnamese army did not make much movement.

Because of Ayang's burden, the newly promoted deputy general couldn't help but say to Yu Yong half reminding and half asking: "General, the Han barbarians have attacked!" Should we also order our soldiers to fight? ”

"Don't worry!" Tongue Yong said in a deep voice.

"Why is that?" The deputy general couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"You see, although the Han barbarians are fighting, they are slowly advancing, and the formation is not chaotic, if we attack rashly, we will not take any advantage! And the distance is enough, which can also save the physical strength of the soldiers! Yu Yong said in a deep voice.

The deputy general immediately complimented: "The general is so wise!" ”

Yu Yong was noncommittal about this, and continued to observe the Han army coldly, but the more he observed, the heavier Yu Yong's heart became. The current situation is not optimistic!

…… Han Army Central Army...... Although the Vietnamese army did not move, Yang Zilu was not nervous at all, sitting on the military cart, watching the battle formation of the Han army quite leisurely. Although Yang Zilu was sitting in a military vehicle, it was not a military vehicle for combat use. It is a military vehicle used for command, the military vehicle does not have a hob, and the car also carries a three-zhang high lookout platform and a war drum for issuing orders, and Yang Zilu's flag. So the chariot was naturally very large, and it was pulled not by four horses, but by two strong oxen and four horses.

When the distance between the two sides was 300 paces, the Vietnamese army moved. The soldiers on the lookout immediately reported to Yang Zilu: "Lord, the whole Vietnamese army is attacking, but there are ten military vehicles on the right flank of the Vietnamese army galloping north!" Wait, there are also ten troop chariots on the left flank of the main to break away from the battle formation and gallop south! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he sneered and said, "Tongue Yong, I have long expected that you will have such a plan!" Someone sent a message to the cavalry on both wings to attack, and immediately moved back to the rear of the Vietnamese army after defeating the troop carts! ”

"No!" The soldiers on the lookout answered and immediately raised their banners.

It didn't take long for the cavalry on both wings, who had received the order, to rush out like arrows from the string.

The tongue Yong on the other side frowned, but he still didn't say anything, just ordered the thirty-eight military vehicles in front of him to speed up and charge.

Yang Zilu ordered the whole army to stop, and the sharp spears were laid flat, forming a forest of spears in front of the military vehicles, like thorns in the forest, which was daunting.

But the wheels of the chariot could not be stopped, and the tongue could only speed up the rhythm of the drums. The speed of the military chariot immediately increased, and Yu Yong could only hope that the military chariot would be able to break through the thorny spear array of the Han army at this time.

But what surprised Yu Yong was that the biggest danger of the military vehicle did not come from the spear array, but from the sky! From the crossbow, to be precise!

"Put!" Xia Hu roared.

"Buzz !!" It was as if the sound of countless bees ringing in his ears suddenly sounded, and three hundred long arrows and two hundred crossbow arrows dragged a long afterimage through the sky.

"Watch out for the rain of arrows!" The Vietnamese soldier exclaimed.

Rong Zuo immediately picked up a shield to protect the driver, and the skill of controlling the four war horses was not so easy to learn, at least on the military vehicle.

Most of the Vietnamese soldiers managed to protect the drivers, but the problem was that they couldn't protect the horses. In the first round of arrow rain, about fifteen military vehicles were out of control because of the death of the war horses, and ten of the soldiers on the military vehicles were either killed or injured. Only a few lucky ones have no problem.

But the crisis of the troop chariots was not yet gone, and there was a second round of arrow rain, but this time only the arrows fired by the longbowmen, but the distance was closer, and seven or eight troop chariots were overturned. The rest of the troop could only close its eyes and muster up the courage to crash into the thorny spear forest. In this regard, Yu Yong no longer hopes for military vehicles, and the remaining military vehicles are only seven or eight times, how much damage can this cause to the Han army?

When the military vehicle crashed into the spear battle array, the sound of spears breaking immediately sounded in the battle array, and many Han soldiers were knocked out of internal injuries and fell to the ground, but the military vehicles of the Vietnamese army were no better, and they were all wiped out.

Unlike the Vietnamese army, the Han army, which was equipped with a large number of medical soldiers, was quickly dragged to the vicinity by the medical soldiers for simple treatment, which could greatly save a lot of lives, and also provided a lot of veterans for the Han army. The exception is for the defeated soldiers, because they can only be considered veterans, not veterans.

At this time, the infantry of the Vietnamese army also entered the battlefield, and Yang Zilu immediately ordered the whole army to continue the attack. And the crossbowmen began to pour arrows to their heart's content. Compared with the Han army, the archers of the Vietnamese army were very aggrieved, their maximum range was only 60 steps, while many archers only had a range of more than 50 steps. Compared with the longbowmen of the Han army, the range of the longbow is one hundred and ten paces, and the range of the crossbow is ninety-eight steps. It's like a contest between a samurai with a kitchen knife and a neatly draped samurai.

The result is self-evident, the archers of the Vietnamese army were suppressed to the death, while the infantry of the Vietnamese army radiated a strong fighting spirit. But in the face of the spear battle array, their attack did not have much effect.

On the contrary, the sword and shield soldiers on both wings, in order to get rid of the status of slaves, they relied on 400 people to suppress the two wings of the Vietnamese army. Note that it is pressed, not gelatinous. They were even more heroic than the Han soldiers of the Chinese army, and of course, as a price, their casualties were not light.

The spearmen of the Chinese army were not willing to let the sword and shield soldiers on both wings show off at this time. Led by the black bear, the spearmen also began to assault! Once the spearmen began to assault, they became even more powerful, and some of them abandoned their spears, picked up the short swords at their waists, and combined them with shields to form a huge shield wall. Crash into the enemy, and when the enemy is dense, use the short sword to keep stabbing between the shields. Above their heads, countless spears extend to help them, and if the enemy is outnumbered, they will form a formation of five men and kill the enemy to the point where they are powerless.

Yu Yong did not break his promise, he got out of the troop cart, with a round shield in one hand and a long ge in the other, led the soldiers to charge, and was always on the front line. However, the Han army was not much worse than him, the black bear was wearing heavy armor, with a battle axe in one hand, and led the soldiers to face the tongue Yong. Compared with the attainments of the art of war, the ten black bears are not as good as the tongue, but compared to the martial arts. Although Tongue Yong's martial arts are not bad, he fights with the black bear, and Tongue Yong has the power to parry.

After a long time, Yu Yong was also beaten out of anger, and he desperately killed the black bear. Although the black bear is brave, it is not the kind of courage that does not want to die, and it was taken back a lot of advantages by the tongue for a while, but even so, the black bear is only slightly at a disadvantage. It is completely impossible for Tongue Yong to kill the black bear.

The war was getting longer and longer, and the balance of victory was slowly tilting from the original gelatinous to the Han army. Yu Yong also knew about the situation, but he was not able to solve it. He could only hope that the military vehicle could get rid of Yang Zilu's cavalry entanglement and attack from Yang Zilu's two flanks. In this way, the Han army still has a chance to win, otherwise today's war will be a big defeat!

"Steady! Steady! Tongue Yong roared from the side.

But when he was distracted, he gave the black bear a chance. The black bear slashed at Tongue Yong's face with an axe, and the tomahawk let out a shrill whistling sound in the air. Just listening to this momentum makes people shudder.

Although Yu Yong was also a little caught off guard, his reaction was still very fast, and he immediately took a step back, while raising his shield to intercept the offensive line of the black bear tomahawk.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the round shield wrapped in three layers of bronze in Yu Yong's hand, and after resisting countless attacks for Yu Yong, this time, it completed its mission. The shattered sawdust splashed, which gave Tongue Yong a chance to take the initiative and retreated, but Tongue Yong's left arm was a little unnatural.

Although the shield protected Tongue Yong's life, under the heavy blow, Tongue Yong's arm was inevitably broken.

"Surrender!" The two battle axes in the black bear's hands naturally drooped, and the black bear looked at the tongue with a proud face, and his tone was full of the pride of the winner.

Tongue Yong shook his head slowly, although slowly, but even more firmly. "Do you see my robes? He told me that I only have two situations to leave the battlefield today! ”

"Oh!?" The black bear replied noncommittally.

"Either leave as a victor or leave with him wrapped around my body!" The voice of the tongue is not loud, but it exudes a feeling of iron.

"You are an admirable person, after you die, I will have people bury you well!" When the black bear heard this, he said with rare seriousness.

"If you die, I'll bury you well!" Hearing this, Yu Yong showed a smile and said not to be outdone.

"Then let's see who buried whom!" The black bear smirked. As soon as the black bear finished speaking, the two immediately charged at each other. Tomahawk and Changge fought, and the two were inseparable for a while.

The soldiers on the battlefield, whether it was the Vietnamese army or the Han army, consciously gave up an encirclement, so that the two of them could fight alone in it with peace of mind, and no one was willing to desecrate this noble fight between warriors and warriors.

But what should have come, still came. After disposing of the troop vehicles, six hundred cavalrymen circled behind the Vietnamese troops, and they launched a deadly charge. The back was suddenly attacked, causing chaos in the Vietnamese army. In particular, most of the soldiers behind it were Vietnamese archers, and their equipment was very rudimentary. A bow and arrow, a quiver full of arrows, a short sword or spear. The rudimentary equipment made them face the cavalry as if they had encountered the butter of a hot sharp knife, and the sharp knife cut through the butter very easily.

The Vietnamese soldiers immediately couldn't help the fear in their hearts, so some people began to run away, and the escape of one person immediately aroused the fear hidden in the hearts of others, and immediately more people joined the sequence of fleeing. Fear is like a plague, spreading madly on the battlefield, infecting every Vietnamese soldier. And the Han army is naturally like chicken blood, and everyone is more brave.

Although Yu Yong is a martial artist, he is also a commander, and at this moment, the Vietnamese soldiers are suddenly in turmoil. made him involuntarily panic, and he was suppressed by the black bear at once. It didn't take long for the black bear to seize an opportunity, block Changge with an axe, and fly out with one kick, kicking Yong to the ground, and Changge with Yong also flew out of his hand.

The pro-soldier of the tongue Yong was immediately shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Rest and hurt my master!" ”

The pro-soldier of the tongue Yong, before he finished speaking, immediately rushed towards the black bear. He wants to rescue Yu Yong from the black bear, but the nearby Han soldiers are not vegetarians. Immediately, everyone rushed forward to intercept Yu Yong's personal soldiers, and at this time, the Vietnamese army was in chaos, and nearly half of the Vietnamese soldiers had already joined the sequence of fleeing for their lives.

The Han army was already far outnumbered by the Vietnamese army on the frontal battlefield, and it did not take long to disperse the personal soldiers of Yu Yong.

The black bear rushed forward with an arrow, threw down the board axe, and stunned the tongue Yong who fell to the ground with a fist. The black bear turned over and cut his hands. By the time he reacted, one side of his face had been buried deep in the dirt, and his body was pressed by the black bear, unable to move. The only thing Yu Yong could do was to stare at the black bear with his eyes, his voice was a little slurred, but he said in a vicious tone: "If you are a hero, give me a good time!" ”

The black bear showed a smug look and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Brother Yong, my brother-in-law has taken a fancy to you, so you can't die for the time being!" ”

"Who is your brother-in-law! You want me to surrender! And let me tell you, Yang Zilu didn't make me surrender and let your brother-in-law die that heart! My family is deeply favored by the Yue Kingdom, and they will not surrender no matter what! He said unyieldingly.

The black bear said triumphantly: "No, the brother-in-law in my mouth is the Yang Zilu you just said, as for whether you surrender or not, it doesn't matter to me." That's my brother-in-law's business, I'll just catch you! ”

"Whew!" Tongue Yong spat aggrievedly, but this spit obviously could not have been spit on the black bear, but it just landed on the ground not far from Tongue Yong.

(To be continued)
