The defeat is like a mountain, this is the truest portrayal of the Wu army at this moment, from the struggle to resist to the collapse of morale, the time is so short that people can hardly react. In the Taihu Plain, on the outskirts of Gusu City, the Wu army ran wildly all over the mountains. Among them, the fastest runner turned out to be the commander of the Wu army, the supervisor of the Wu State - Prince You.

The light cavalry of the Yulin Army calmly pursued in the rear, so calmly that it gave the illusion that they were not on the battlefield. It's the shepherds of the steppe, doing the usual thing day after day, year after year.

"Hurry up, open the gates, hurry up! Open the gates! Before the prince's friend came to the edge of the moat, he was already far away and commanded loudly.

The defenders on the city wall are just ordinary low-level generals, and those high-ranking officials and generals who have access have already gone to the battlefield. The generals of the Wu army believed that this war was not a cruel war, but a safari for them to make meritorious deeds.

Seeing this situation at this moment, the gatekeeper was already stunned, and when he saw that the person who came was a friend of the prince, he couldn't care about anything else, and said with a trembling tongue: "Quick, fast, open, open, open!" ”

The gatekeeper was completely unaware of his order, which ruined the last glimmer of hope in Gusu City.

Although the gatekeeper was no longer flexible in his speech, the soldier finally understood what the gatekeeper meant. Although it didn't say anything, it was clear that the city gate was opened. The soldiers on the gatehouse hurriedly pulled the noose, lowered the drawbridge, and opened the city gates.

The prince friend on the edge of the moat waited with sweat on his forehead, and kept urging: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”

However, the kings of Wu in the past dynasties attached great importance to the city defense of Gusu City, especially Helu, and his reign coincided with the most powerful time in the history of the Yue Kingdom. Therefore, the city gates were made of large wooden bowls, and the large wooden walls with thick bowls were cut square, and fixed with wooden boards and copper nails, but this is not counted, and a bronze plate of one and a half inches (about three centimeters) thick was sandwiched between the wooden doors made of two large woods, and the thickness of the city gates reached a foot (about twenty centimeters) thick!

Such a thickness naturally caused the city gate to be extremely heavy, and when the city gate was opened, the follow-up rout had already arrived. Although the prince was also flustered, he obviously knew the result of being rushed into the city by these routs, and while driving into the city gate, he hurriedly shouted: "Close the door!" Close the door! ”

But at this time, it can be closed there!

On the contrary, the Wu army was defeated, although it did not have the courage to turn around and deal with the Han army, but it was brave and abnormal to deal with its own compatriots. Seeing those soldiers guarding the door closing the door, the so-called anger rises from the heart, and evil is born to the side of the guts!

The rout took up his arms and swung them at the soldiers who had closed the gates for a small time, and those guards were old and weak, where were the courage to fight with people? Frightened, he hurriedly ran away.

The two Yu Lin Lang generals, who were 'driving sheep' behind him, also changed careers and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" ”

led the light cavalry of the 2,000 Yulin Army to charge, and the originally ferocious Wu army routed immediately returned to its original form, and some of the soldiers couldn't care about anything, and jumped into the moat in a panic. In order to prevent the enemy from filling it with earth, the moats were dug deep and wide, 16 zhang wide, equivalent to the width of two basketball courts. And dig very deep, two feet deep!

It's April again, and the river is bone-chilling. Not to mention that so many Wu troops broke and jumped into the river, not to mention swimming in the moat at that time, it was a question whether they could break free from those hands that didn't know where they stretched out. There were even more people who had just jumped into the moat, and before they had time to leave, they were immediately smashed into the river by the soldiers who jumped down from behind.

There are also soldiers who surrender, but the forest is big, and there are no birds. Some of the Wu troops still did not give up and fled to the suburbs, and they didn't want to think about how their two-legged ones could outrun the cavalry. was chased by the cavalry who were divided into more than enough and reckless, and directly raised the knife with one hand, and it was useless to shout surrender at this time, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

By the time Yang Zilu felt Gusu City, Gusu City had already fallen into the hands of the Han army, and Prince Youyou was smashed out of the battle axe by the remnants of the domain, and his head and identity were directly separated.

And the general of the Wu army, Wang Zidi, has been killed by Mang Gao. Shou Yuyao was stabbed to death by an armored cavalry with a riding spear, and he didn't know that he died in the hands of that little soldier until he found out when he was cleaning up the battlefield. Wang Sun Miyong also died in the chaos, and at this time, the generals who stayed in the country had been swept away.

Yang Zilu had just walked into the palace of King Wu and was looking at his own spoils. At this time, Chou Wuyu came over mysteriously, Yang Zilu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" With this appearance, did you find a beautiful woman who was ready to contribute to the widow? ”

Chou Wuyu shook his head and said, and said with a mysterious smile: "This is easier to touch the heart of the Lord than a beautiful woman!" ”

Yang Zilu was stunned and asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Chou Wuyu stretched out four fingers first, shook them and said, "Four hundred warships!" Among them, there are 80 large wings, 170 mid-wings, and 150 small wings! ”

Yang Zilu's eyes widened! Grabbed the domain with both hands, as if the four hundred battleships that were said to be flying as soon as he let go. Anxiously asked, "There!" ”

Chou Wuyu grinned and said, "Lord, why are you so strong! ”

Yang Zilu reacted at this time, immediately let go of his hand, and said with a sneer: "Isn't this exciting!" ”

"These boats are all on Taihu Lake! They are all prepared by the husband to transport food to the front line! There are also hundreds of grain ships, but this minister did not count them! And I've heard that there are more warships anchored in the Guz! But that's different, it's the boat division of the State of Wu used to guard against the State of Chu on the Yangtze River! Seeing that Yang Zilu was anxious again, he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, for fear of being 'caught' by Yang Zilu one more time. Hurriedly said: "The minister has already sent five hundred cavalry!" ”

"How can five hundred cavalry be enough!" Yang Zilu said with a frown.

Chou Wuyu said confidently: "The minister has already inquired, there is only the boat division stationed there, although there are many boat divisions, but the number of troops is not much, but more than 1,500 people. And it's all sailors, and when they get to land, they become toothless tigers. As long as they wait for a surprise attack while they are resting on the shore, they will definitely be able to capture these boatmen in one fell swoop! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he nodded in agreement, and immediately asked, "Who did you send?" Don't be a reckless person! ”

"It's Uncle Jiao, I think there shouldn't be a problem!" There is no way to answer.

Yang Zilu nodded and said, "It's Uncle Jiao, but there's no problem, that's right!" What about Tongue Yong and Ayang? Don't be killed by someone sent by the prince before he died. ”

As soon as Yang Zilu's words fell, he saw Yu Yong and Yang come up.

When the two of them saw Yang Zilu, they both had a feeling of being separated from the world, and knelt down on one knee and said to Yang Zilu: "Chenyu Yong (Ayang), I have seen the Lord!" ”

Yang Zilu hurriedly stepped forward, helped the two of them, and sighed: "This battle should be the first credit!" All military ranks are one level higher! ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Tongue Yong and Ayang immediately thanked him.

Yang Zilu ordered the blockade of the warehouse, and strictly spared the soldiers' lives, for which the woods at the important street entrances were wooden, and the book was written: "Those who disturb the people are killed!" "Four typing. What made the generals even more strange was that Yang Zilu asked people to confiscate the family wealth of doctors and wealthy people in Gusu City, but the wealth obtained from these raids was divided into four parts, one for Yang Zilu, one for generals at all levels, and one for soldiers according to their ranks. These are all fair, and no one has an opinion, but the last one Yang Zilu gave to the ordinary people of Wu State.

If Yang Zilu is trying to win people's hearts, that's it. However, Yang Zilu included the soldiers who were originally composed of Yue nationals captured by the Wu army into the army, and selected those who could drive ships. The 600 warships and more than 500 grain ships that were captured will set off from Taihu Lake and go out to sea through the canal, and then transport the grain treasures back along the coastline.

For this reason, Yang Zilu also demolished the city gates of Wu, and those bronze statues and bronze pillars were not avoided, and they were dismantled and transported back to Han. Doesn't this look like a retreat is being prepared? What's even more depressing is that Yang Zilu is actually rigorous and asks people to touch the family members of those palace maids and Dr. Wu Guo.

In the end, the generals decided to nominate a person to persuade Yang Zilu, and in the end, Houxiong was unlucky enough to persuade Yang Zilu.

When Yang Zilu heard Hou Xiong begging to see him, he knew what was going on and let Hou Xiong in. smiled: "Hou Xiong, what do you want to ask the widow." ”

When Hou Xiong heard this, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "The lord is the king, and the Hou Xiong is the minister." Where do the ministers dare to question the king? It's just that there are some questions that I can't think about, and I hope the Lord will answer them for the ministers! ”

Yang Zilu laughed and said: "Among so many generals, you have the most tricks, just ask, and what you say is so good." Just ask! ”

Hou Xiong was told by Yang Zilu, smiled curtly, and asked, "Lord, why are you so good to those Wu people?" There are quite complaints in the army, I am afraid that the lord has picked up sesame seeds and lost winter melons in this move? ”

Yang Zilu didn't answer, but beckoned outside and said, "Hurry up, bring one more bowl and chopsticks in a while!" ”

Hou Xiong looked up, but a guard came over with a plate of braised fish. Yang Zilu picked up the chopsticks on the tray, pointed to the braised fish and said, "This is the biggest fish in Taihu Lake today!" You're going to eat it! I don't know how many days this fish will be able to eat! ”

Hou Xiong's eyes widened when he heard this, and his tongue was a little knotted in surprise and asked, "Lord! Lord, you don't want to quit, do you? ”

"Well, you're right! The widow shared the money and wealth with the people of Wu to prepare for the withdrawal of troops! Yang Zilu swallowed the fatty fish and said calmly.

"This ...... Why, Lord, is this? We can completely rule the river with our husbands! And this is the land that the soldiers beat down with their blood and flesh! Hou Xiong said with a anxious face.

Yang Zilu raised his hand, made a gesture of calmness, and ate another piece of fish, and then said: "Everyone knows what you said, but do you think you are willing?" ”

Hou Xiong stopped talking, looking at Yang Zilu, although he couldn't accept Yang Zilu's decision emotionally, reason told him that Yang Zilu must have done this for a reason.
