"Ayang and Yuyong, they're all right after they're captured, right?" Yang Zilu asked the remnant bamboo who had just walked into the tent.

"According to the latest news, General Tongue Yong and General Acheng are being held in the dungeon! There should be no danger for the time being, after all, the biggest crisis of the prince and their friends now comes from the Lord! Remnant Zhu said in a deep voice.

Yang Zilu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, did they find out that those soldiers were actually from the Yue Kingdom?" ”

"But in one day, how could the officials of the Wu State notice these little soldiers? What they do best is intrigue! Remnant Zhu said with a little disdain in his tone, of course, this little disdain was directed at the officials of Wu State.

Yang Zilu couldn't help but smile a little, now that the plan has been carried out to the fullest, all that remains is to defeat Wu Jun. However, Yang Zilu does not think that there are no difficulties, in fact, the biggest difficulty has only come now.

On the second day of the defeat of Yuyong, Yang Zilu led 8,000 Han troops to appear on the outskirts of Gusu City. This time, the prince did not object to going out of the city to fight. Yesterday, Wang Sun Miyong and Wang Zidi won a victory, which stimulated the prince's friends.

Although the prince congratulated him on the surface, he was not very comfortable in his heart. The important thing is that the prince is the prince, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if it's true, he always feels that the soldiers are talking about him behind his back because he was cowardly and didn't send troops.

As the crown prince of King Wu, he didn't like to hear such a voice, but such a voice could not be suppressed. Therefore, the prince friend now wants to let the soldiers of the Wu State know through action that their prince is not cowardly and cowardly! He's also a hero!

In order to ensure that Yang Zilu could be defeated, the prince pulled out almost all the soldiers in Gusu City, a total of 16,000 people, and only left less than 1,000 remnants in Gusu City.

In the eyes of the prince, with the level of the Han army, eight thousand Wu troops were enough to defeat them. The reason why he brought so many troops out of caution was also out of caution, after all, this was his first battle, and Prince You didn't want to lose.

However, Yang Zilu is not afraid, the war is not necessarily won if there are many people, otherwise there will be no later battles such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Weishui.

…… Battlefield...... In front of the Han army, Yang Zilu rode on a tall war horse, the war horse walked in small steps, and Yang Zilu condescendingly glanced at the infantry in front of him. "Are you afraid? There are twice as many enemies on the opposite side as ours! ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Our Han army is one top ten!"

The unyielding voice sounded in the battle array of the Han army, but Yang Zilu believed that this was just a few people's thoughts. Most of the Han soldiers were more afraid of the Wu army on the other side. Not because of anything else, but because the Wu army defeated the Chu State and the Qi State, which are recognized by the world as the overlords. This is like China facing the United States, although many Chinese are saying that they are not afraid, but in fact they can't help but worry, after all, the United States is the world's largest country without reproach.

Yang Zilu pulled the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I'm afraid of Wu Jun on the other side!" They are twice as many as us! They were strong armies that defeated the Qi and Chu states. ”

So the generals were stunned, they didn't expect Yang Zilu to talk like this, aren't you demoralizing? Especially the black bear and Han Jiading, who were short-tempered, if the person who spoke was not Yang Zilu, they would have rushed to kill each other with a knife.

But at this time, Yang Zilu suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "But now that the widow has suddenly found out, the widow can't be afraid!" The widow can't afford to be afraid! We have captured Wuyuan City, and our food has been exhausted! Only ten days' worth of food from Wuyuan City remained. I rested in Wuyuan City for two days, it took three days to return to attack Li Lai, and it took two days to come to Gusu City! In addition, food for those people in Vietnam. Now we have only two days left for the whole army to eat! ”

Yang Zilu pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said to the guide: "From here to Zhejiang, four hundred miles!" A normal march takes four days! If we are defeated, we will not even have food to flee back! Then tell the widow that you can escape? Whether you starve to death in the middle of the road, or die on the battlefield! The choice is yours! ”

After Yang Zilu finished speaking, the long knife turned to Gusu City: "This is the capital of the powerful Wu State, and we have come to this point!" If we fail, then Fucha will lead 100,000 wolves and tigers of the Wu Kingdom to attack the Han Kingdom! Our fields will be crushed into mud by the wheels of chariots. Our homes will be turned to ashes in the flames, and our sons and daughters will be wantonly killed by the cruel Wu people laughing. Our wives and daughters will be forcibly taken by the people of Wu! Are you afraid? ”

Yang Zilu didn't wait for the soldiers to respond, pressed the position of the heart with one hand, lowered his head and shouted: "When I think of this, the widow's heart is as if it has been pierced by a knife!" The widow can't afford to be afraid! We can't afford to be afraid! Don't be afraid! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zilu Huo Ran raised his head and glanced at everyone. "In order not to let these tragedies happen!" We're going to defend with our lives! It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to lose everything! The widow is here to assure you! Any soldier who dies in battle! Their children will be raised at the widow's expense until they are eighteen years old! Any crippled soldier! The widow will raise them to old age! For the living! For our homeland! There is no enemy in this battle! ”

"There is no enemy and no self! There is no enemy and no self! There is no enemy or self!! The Han soldiers were all red-eyed, and with all their strength, they let out the loudest roar.

The Wu army on the opposite side couldn't help but be taken aback, and the war horses uneasily used their premises to dig the ground, and the faces of the soldiers were a little pale. It is true that they are soldiers of the Wu Army, but the elite soldiers have long been transferred to the front line by the husband. Now there are 16,000 people under the command of Prince You, but some of these people are small traders, old and weak.

As long as there are about 10,000 people, it is the real Wu army, but this real Wu country is only a nearby county soldier, which is inland, and does not fight much in peacetime. After ten years as a soldier, you don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield once. Such soldiers are probably no different from these newly formed soldiers except that they are better trained than the soldiers of the Wu State recruited by the prince's friends.

Although the prince's face turned a little pale with fright from the roar on the other side, he also knew that his morale could not be discharged, so he pretended to be disdainful and said: "A barbarian is a barbarian!" Do you think you can win with a big voice? ”

When Shou Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and hide the wry smile on the corner of his mouth. The other party not only has a loud voice, but also has high morale. But now the prince friends have been riding tigers and it is impossible for them to retreat. Otherwise, Shou Yu Yao would definitely retire from the army and stick to Gusu City, but it would be too late to say anything now.

"Pass on the order of the marshal, go down, beat the drums! The whole army presses on! "It seems that in order to save morale, Prince You took the lead in ordering the attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of the drums turned from slow to urgent, as dense as the muffled thunder of summer.

In the sound of drums, the soldiers of the Wu army were also stimulated by the sound of drums, and they slowly pressed on. The soldiers were shouting to the beat of drums that even they didn't know, and they were shouting to vent their excitement.

"Order! The whole army presses on! Yang Zilu was not confused at all, and ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, the Han army also sounded the sound of drums.

"Gale! Gale! "Three thousand five hundred Han soldiers lined up in five neat phalanxes and slowly advanced. A thousand armored cavalry were arranged to escort Yang Zilu in the Chinese army. Two thousand light cavalry guarded the two flanks of the infantry, while fifteen hundred longbowmen followed the phalanx of infantry.

When the distance between the Han army and the Wu army was about two hundred paces, the drumming of the Han army immediately stopped, and the battle formation of the Han army also stopped, after a short period of finishing the queue. The Han infantry will crouch down and put down the spears in their hands. Seeing the prince's friends, they were all dumbfounded, what are you doing here? I've seen any strange battles, but I haven't seen them, and I actually put down my arms before I was ready to fight.

Before they could see what the Han infantry was doing, 1,500 longbowmen had already poured out of the gap between the five infantry phalanxes of the Han army, lined up in sparse three rows, with at least one person's seat between the longbowmen and the longbowmen, and at least two zhang between the front and back. Therefore, although the number of longbowmen was smaller than that of the infantry, in this way, the infantry phalanx was blocked.

Seeing the longbowmen coming out, the prince didn't have the heart to care about the 'neurotic' actions of the infantry. Looking at Shou Yuyao, he asked, "General Shou, do you think this is the sharp longbow soldier of the Han barbarian?" ”

"Exactly, it is said that in the battle in Zhejiang, the effective firing range reached 120 steps! The prince has to order all the soldiers to prepare shields to resist! Shou Yuyao said with a solemn face.

Prince You also nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered the herald to convey the news. Speaking of which, this herald is still on horseback, and he also learned the Han cavalry to be decent. But that's about it. The cavalry had a piece of fur on his body as a saddle, and there were no stirrups, and there were no iron palms.

Although the equipment of the cavalry is easy to learn, it is not easy to learn. Because the equipment of the cavalry is so ordinary, people will not pay attention to it. It's just self-righteous to form a cavalry, thinking that this is about the same. It's strange to say, but it's not strange at all, it's like gravity, from ancient times to the present, how many years? Such a simple truth was discovered by Newton alone.

However, after the Wu army found that it was impossible to form such a sharp cavalry to the Han army, it did not give up the cavalry, but instead equipped the heralds. For they found that a herald on horseback was quicker and more agile than a herald on horseback or on foot.
