Chapter 206 pounds his heart

The four fields under Tianmu Mountain are vast, and the crowd is like a wave, surging, hitting the waves of blood.

In the camp of the Wu army, Ji Guang climbed high and looked, and as soon as the lights on the left flank were extinguished, his heart suddenly sank, and his face became extremely ugly: "How can it be ......, how many people are there in Qingji?" How could he use all his men to ambush the outnumbered? How could he have taken three of my battalions in such a quick way? Don't...... Could it be that Gusu City has been lost? ”

"The king is too worried." Wu Zi frowned, and said worriedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a letter, saying that it is difficult to shake the city in the slightest. His Royal Highness obeyed the order and would never leave the city half a step, and now he has sent a messenger to ask the husband to return to the army and attack Yu Qingji. In this case, it is difficult for Qingji to take Gusu no matter what. The minister was worried......"

Bo Yan stood aside with his sword and asked impatiently, "What is Lord Xiangguo worried about?" Can they attack our home? ”

Wu Zixu shook his head slightly, pointed to the front, and was a little farther away: "What I'm worried about is the present, and the other is Gusu." At present, the enemy forces are attacking fiercely, but their true intentions are still unknown. Seeing that they attacked several large battalions one after another, it seemed that they wanted to cut off the connection between our battalions and take advantage of the chaos to directly capture the Chinese army. However, once we set up camp and set up our own formations, the attack on the Chinese army was immediately minimized, and now the fighting on the periphery is fierce, and it seems that there is a sense of dividing the various armies and cutting them off one by one......"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Guang couldn't hold back and said: "The widow wants to gather the armies, and he is worried about this plan. Since Xiangguo said the same, it is better to let the armies move closer to the Chinese army. ”

Wu Zi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the camps are lit with fires, and the enemy and I have become a mess, and you want them to gather with us?" Didn't that open the camp gate and invite the enemy in? At that time, in the dark night, tens of thousands of troops were fighting, the dispatch and command were completely ineffective, our soldiers were physically weak, and the army was discouraged under the attack, how to deal with such a melee? At that time, even the Chinese army and the rear battalion had to fall into passivity.

Furthermore, Wang Sunxiong once said that there was a female swordsman Ji Sun Xiaoman beside Qingji, who was superb in swordsmanship, especially good at light body skills. The minister has inquired and understands that Ji Sun Xiaoman is a family member of the Ji Sun family of Lu State, and he was employed by Yuan Su, the first swordsman of Lu State who was famous all over the world. Ji Sun Xiaoman once taught Yuan's swordsmanship to Qingji soldiers in Aicheng. The minister is worried that Yuan Su has also thrown himself into the Qingji sect, if a master like him brings thirty or fifty capable disciples and takes the head of the main general at night in the melee of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, even if we have countless soldiers, we are completely unable to use our strength, and the king is the soul of the whole army, how can we take such a risk? ”

Ji Guang and Wu Zixu were both people who were good at making the Assassins get used to going off the rails, and they were so good at making the Assassins harm others that they were naturally prone to fear that others would use the same methods against them. Ji Guang paused and said: "This is not feasible, that is not feasible, is it not feasible that the widow is standing here and watching Qingji eat my army?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "The king's army is the place to stabilize the whole army, it is because of seeing the king's army as stable as Mount Tai, the armies can respond to the battle with peace of mind. The king was a little restless, and when the rear battalion approached, he could divide his troops and advance to rescue the three battalions. ”

Ji Guang listened, and let out a heaviness of breath. Bo Yu was thoughtful, but he remembered that Wu Zixu had said two worries, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Xiangguo, there is another worry in Gusu City, but what does it mean?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "I'm worried that Qingji's attack on our Chinese army is real and false, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything, he turned to cut off the outer wings, and this cutting off the outer wings is still real and false, and his real intention is to fight and attack Gusu City." ”

Gusu City is the foundation of Ji Guang, most of the powerful and influential nobles of Wu State live in this royal city, which is the symbol of Wu royal power, not only almost all the wealth of Wu State, but now there is a huge wealth taken from the Yingdu of Chu State, once Gusu is lost, Qingji, the justifiable continuation of the throne to compete with him, he will be rooted to the end, and it is difficult to compete with it, he was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "How do they intend to Gusu, Xiangguo quickly talk about it." ”

Wu Zixu tightened his eyebrows and said: "Taking advantage of the night sneak attack and taking the Chinese army directly is the middle strategy, if you can hurt the king or even ......, Qingji will be half successful; Forcing our Chinese army to hold on, taking the opportunity to cut off the periphery, is the next policy, you must know that kill a thousand, self-damage 800, Qingji at this time there is no soldier to replenish, he can't kill the king in a battle, as long as we are given a chance to breathe, wait for the return of the main army of Hanyi and Yu'er City, then he is still defeated.

What ......is the best policy, the minister is worried that Qingji will spare no effort and attack the king regardless of losses, which is to create the illusion that our king has been fully surrounded, the prince and even the filial piety, he originally stuck to Gusu, Qingji has no way, and now if he hears that the king is in danger, I am afraid that he will leave the city at all costs to help, even if Qingji only has half of the men and horses left, as long as he takes advantage of the emptiness in the city to seize Gusu, it will be enough to shake the entire Wu country.

At that time, some of the pastoral officials in the land, who had been subdued by the majesty of the king, would turn to him, and it would be much easier for him to ask for help from foreign soldiers. Even if our men and horses are still there, the foundation was lost at that time, and it was impossible to raise such a number of soldiers, could the king take advantage of it and plunder the last rations of the people of Wu State? If that happens, the entire Wu Kingdom will fall to Qingji faster. ”

After listening to Wu Zixu's analysis, Ji Guang gasped and immediately woke up: "Xiangguo is right, with my son's surname, if he knows that the widow is in danger, he will not hesitate to give up everything to come to help." ”

When Ji Guang said this, he untied his sword from his waist and shouted, "Someone! ”

At that moment, the two personal attendants stepped forward, hugged their fists and said, "King! ”

"Take my sword with me, take a sentry out and rush back to Gusu City, and tell the prince that you must stick to the city and not go out. Violators will be beheaded," he glared at him, and said in a fierce voice: "Hear clearly, the widow will transfer the people of Hanyi and Yu'er City to help, and the nine thousand defenders of Gusu City are not allowed to move out of the city, even if the widow is dead, they will never be allowed to leave the city half a step!" ”

"No!" His personal attendant took the sword in both hands and retreated in panic.

Ji Guang turned around, only to see a light signal on the arrow tower, informing the rear camp to set up camp and move closer here. It seems that Qingji's actual strength is really limited, otherwise at this time, if he sends another army and takes advantage of the mobilization of the army to attack the rear camp, it will be really chaotic.

Ji Guang groaned: "Strange, Qingji uses soldiers, he has always been straight and straight, open and close, even if it is three thousand against one hundred thousand, it is also a hard attack and fierce formation, how is the use of soldiers now very different from the past?" ”

Bo Yu interjected: "The available generals under Qingji are probably still those who fled to the country with him at the beginning, and the foreign generals are only one Sun Wu and one Yingtao, both of whom are young people in their twenties. ”

Wu Zixu smiled contemptuously and said disapprehantly: "Sun Wu Yingtao? Nameless children, what a tooth. When people encounter great difficulties, their minds will change, and Qingji has been assassinated since Dajiang was assassinated and survived, and all kinds of behaviors are very different from the past. The king, the rear camp has moved closer to our Chinese army, and he can immediately order him to divide two lines of troops and horses to help the left and right wings. ”

Bo Yan blurted out: "What about the front camp?" ”

Wu Zixu's eyes flashed, and he looked at the sparks all over the ground outside the land of three arrows in front of him, and said quietly: "Qingji is to break my front camp first, and then divide the troops left and right to insert the flanks, and the front camp defenders...... I'm afraid it's irretrievable, and they can only rely on themselves to support it, and if they can survive until dawn, it will be their victory, otherwise ......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The front army has long been collapsed, Qingji first attacked the camp with fire oxen, and then attacked with a large army, and the Qingji soldiers of the Qingji army with a team, two horses, and pawns pierced through the camp, leaving the soldiers of the front battalion of the Wu army who were like flies behind, and rushed to the left and right and the Chinese army separately, which has completely collapsed the will of the soldiers of the front battalion of the Wu army.

They were scurrying around in the camp, without order or command, fighting on their own as if they were scattered, and they could only barely save their lives in front of the Qingji army, which passed through the camp and gave them a sword and a spear and did not deliberately attack at all. In the midst of this chaos, Qingji's reserve arrived.

This new force is coming at them, the neat formation of the formation of the entire Wu army front camp, the personnel into five columns, thousands of energetic, physical strength of the soldiers all wrapped in white scarves, in the night fire is extremely dazzling, thousands of such white heads bring a white terror, any soldier who blocks their way, as long as there is no white scarf sign on the head, the sword halberd spear will be cut off and stabbed, the whole team is spread forward at a speed of half a line and half running, and the place where it passes is a mess of dead corpses.

Even if it is the same number of people, one side is organized and orderly, and the other side is chaotic and fighting its own battles, it will cause a huge gap between worlds and worlds, not to mention the Wu army, which has completely collapsed at this moment, both psychologically and physically. In front of the Qingji reserves, which were layered and rolled forward like meat grinders in a dense formation, the front battalion of the Wu army was defeated like a mountain, and the soldiers had completely lost the courage to fight, and began to abandon their blades and run wildly into the wilderness on both sides, rushing towards the dark and gloomy mountain shadows in the distance.

The fear spread rapidly, and no one thought to block it with a sword or spear when the sword and halberd pierced the back, they just spread their legs and ran away as fast as they could, not seeking to run past the enemy, but only to run past their companions, and use the meat shield to earn a momentary escape opportunity for himself. The front camp of the Wu army was scattered, less than half of the dead and wounded, and the rest fled into the remote and barren mountains......

The rear battalion of the Wu army sent two groups of men and horses, and Liang Huzi and Yingtao clashed with Liang Huzi and Yingtao who went around to the rear of the left and right camps, and what was the battle situation of the three battalions in front, how the soldiers were lost, and who had the upper hand at present, and the king of Wu in the Chinese army camp had no way of knowing. Because the Qingji Army was organized into squads to carry out mobile operations, and the means of communication in the Wu army's camp failed, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers would not be able to find the soldiers, so that the entire battlefield was like a pot of boiling mud.

It feels like a gust of wind can be encountered everywhere in front and back, inside and out, and the camp raiding teams wrapped in white turbans can kill each other like a gust of wind. The men and horses that have just been sent to help are of very limited use in this situation, and they are like people who jump into the mire to save their fallen partners, and they are completely unable to take advantage of the new force. Angry, a brigade commander who led his troops forward to reinforce the right flank had bruises on his forehead, and he thought maliciously: "If all the men and horses on the right flank are dead, it would be better than running around here and making our army unable to start." ”

"No, the widow will personally lead the troops to respond!"

Ji Guang couldn't get accurate information, couldn't understand the situation on the battlefield, and was only as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he turned around in the tent of the Chinese army like a trapped beast, and suddenly couldn't bear to pull out his sword and roared.

Wu Zixu also became anxious, most of the night had passed, the shouting and killing had not stopped, and their main formation of the Chinese army had received the least attack, on the one hand, this showed that the opponent's strength was limited, and the two reinforcements sent had already played a role, successfully intercepting the Qingji people, but on the other hand, it was completely impossible for them to grasp the detailed information on the front.

"Please put the three armies first, and don't take the danger lightly. As for the battle ahead......", Wu Zixu shrugged his white eyebrows: "Let the ministers go to help." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Ji Guang to answer, so he said to Bo Yu: "General Bo, please assist the king and defend the main formation." ”

Bo Yan responded: "Lord Xiangguo, let's go at the end." ”

Wu Zixu said: "No, I don't know the exact news ahead, and I can't rest assured." King, please be relieved, the minister will lead the troops to reinforce! ”

Ji Guang hurriedly said: "Xiangguo stays, and the widow ......"

Wu Zixu turned a deaf ear, walked out of the big tent quickly, and ordered in a loud voice: "Go, the four-corner arrow tower sent a signal, and the war drums were beaten in the camp, announcing to the soldiers of the battalion that the king is in command of the Chinese army, and he has not retreated an inch!" Xiangguo soldiers, personally lead the army to reinforce! ”

"No!" Outside answered, a moment of effort, the lights of the Quartet Arrow Tower flashed, the war drums in the camp were noisy, Wu Zixu personally led a sentry to kill the gate.

After Qingji's reserve team entered the battle, in order to achieve the effect of concentrating superior forces and striking at the new force of the Wu army with an overwhelming offensive, as soon as the battle of the front camp was resolved, the whole army immediately pressed to the left flank, and joined up with Yingtao's men and horses, and Aqiu's men and horses.

After the first team of reinforcements sent by the Wu battalion arrived, although due to the chaos in the entire camp, it did not have enough effect on reinforcements, and it still brought considerable pressure to his people, but he knew that the more he held on here, the greater the certainty of victory. The battle was fierce, there were only soldiers killed on both sides, few wounded alive, no one had time to lift the wounded comrades away, and once injured, even if the limbs were broken and the abdomen was broken, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and continue to fight, once they fell, they could be replaced by the opponent's people at any time.

People oppress people, people trample on people, the sound of swords and axes is endless, as long as someone in the wandering Qingji army combat team is a little careless, or killed, and the foot slowly breaks away from the wandering battle team, it will be cut down by the enemy's sword. At this time, no one has the ability to save him, and the only thing the living can do is to kill a few more people to avenge him. In the same misery, the soldiers of the Wu army camp suffered more, because although they were outnumbered, they did not even have such an organized organization, and even if there were generals standing in the crowd and shouting hoarsely, they could not effectively organize the soldiers to their side.

Liang Huzi rushed out of a crowded place with a team of men and horses, holding his sword in one hand, panting like a cow. He was never able to breathe, and his physical exertion was extremely severe. A group of Wu troops were colliding with him, and he didn't want to swing his sword and raise his spear to kill.

These Wu soldiers did not rush quickly, and their lungs were like pulling boxes, the battle between the two sides was approaching dawn, and the men and horses of Qingji arrived two days earlier than them, and they had already rested their spirits, and they were so tired at this time, and their men and horses who had not been rested after a long journey had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

"Kill!"

Liang Huzi is the main general in the army, followed by many soldiers, the main duty is to protect his safety, when he saw the situation, he did not dare to slack off, immediately raised his weapons and rushed up, the two sides strangled together, a moment of effort, the ground is a body with mutilated limbs, blood gurgling, staining the grass red.

"Kill~~~" Suddenly, the sound of killing in front of me shook the sky, and another team of people and horses kept killing. At this time, the sky will be bright, the sky has been faintly white, Liang Huzi sword through the blue sky glimmer look, it turned out that he had unconsciously killed the rear of the right camp of the Wu army, the team of men and horses was from the Wu people's Chinese army tent killed, worthy of meeting with him.

"It's another new force, Ji Guang has increased his troops again!" Liang Huzi was shocked in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw and lead the enemy into a melee!" ”

Ignore the team, lead his own people back and leave. As soon as they arrived, the Qingji men and horses of the Wu camp, who had no time to withdraw from the porridge-like pot on the periphery, bore the brunt of the attack, and the sound of panicked shouts, miserable wails and chaotic swords and halberds immediately resounded throughout the camp.

The fresh force of the Wu people was unstoppable when they broke in, but they only broke through less than a hundred paces before they were scattered by the mixed battle of the enemy and the enemy, and were forced to plunge into an aimless melee.

"Kill, kill" Wu Zixu's own team of men and horses has not yet been fully put into battle, because of the melee in front, the penetration is slow, and the long line in the rear is like a snake, and at this moment, there is a shouting of killing in the distance, and the two sentry men and horses are killed from the left camp of the Wu army, shaped like sharp scissors, while stabbing fiercely at the seven inches of this "long snake", while directly killing Ji Guang's Chinese army.

The shouting and killing was terrifying, and many people in the base camp that was fighting looked at that side in shock, Wu Zixu and Liang Huzi in the chaotic army looked over there, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and both of them thought in their hearts at the same time: "Left-wing camp, rest!" ”
