Sun Wu expected that Nangwa had the intention of robbing the camp, and immediately summoned all the generals to deploy troops to meet the enemy: "I expect that Nangwa wants to rob the camp at night, and the target must be the king's camp under Dabie Mountain." Today, our army will plan and set up an ambush along the Dabie Mountain to intercept the Chu army and fight! ”

So Sun Wu ordered the vanguard to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and set up an ambush on the left side of Dabie Mountain; Zhuan Yi led 5,000 soldiers and horses to lie on the right side of the mountain, and when he heard the horn sound, he went out with a column. Tang Hou and Cai Hou led the troops and horses of the headquarters to respond in two ways. He also ordered the soldiers to lead 10,000 troops, take a shortcut to the foot of Xiaobie Mountain to rob the Chu army camp, and Bo Yao led the army to respond.

After Sun Wu finished arranging the formation, he raised his arms and shouted: "Today, the Chu army came at night to defeat Chu in this battle!" If the bag falls to my plan, the generals must cheer up and fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”

The generals stepped forward to listen to the order, and then returned to the camp to prepare.

Sun Wu summoned Gongzi Mountain and whispered: "The task of the general is to rush to Dabie Mountain immediately to protect the safety of the king. Moving the king's camp to the foot of Hanyin Mountain first can avoid the conflict between the two armies. Then in the old camp of Dabie Mountain, three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people pretended to be guards, and the banner was still set up in the camp, and the lights of the big tent were not extinguished, so as to doubt the Chu army. After receiving the order, Gongzishan hurriedly led the army to protect King Wu and withdrew the army to Hanyin Mountain.

That night, at the end of the night, Nangwa and Emperor Shi led 15,000 soldiers and horses to the front of Dabie Mountain, and this army unknowingly penetrated into the rear of the Wu army, and the king of Wu camped at the foot of Dabie Mountain.

At this time, the Malay newspaper said that it was only 2 miles away from the Wu camp in Dabie Mountain.

Nangwa ordered the Chu army to continue to approach the Wu camp and let the sentry horses go to explore again.

In the twilight of the night, I saw the Wu army Dazhai along the foot of Dabie Mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the village was silent, and there was still a bright torch outside the camp gate. Those Wu army guards were still patrolling outside the camp gate, and it seemed that the Wu army was defenseless.

Nangwa is secretly happy. Draw your sword and let out a loud shout. All the generals shouted in unison, and the soldiers raised their torches at the same time and rushed towards the Wu army camp.

However, there was still silence in the big tent, and when the Chu army rushed into the Wu army camp, they found that there was no one in the tent, only hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people pretending to be guards, and there was an empty camp inside. Nangwa's heart was not good, and he knew that he had been ambushed, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat.

But there is a ban there. When the Chu army saw that it was an empty village, they had already panicked and were in chaos. At this time, I suddenly heard the whistle horn sounding, only to see the flames rushing to the sky, and the two Wu armies of Zhuan Yi and Fu Ji came out from the left and right sides of Dabie Mountain at the same time, and surrounded the Chu army.

Emperor Shi saw the Wu army in ambush. had to protect Xiangguo and go.

At this time, the Chu army was in chaos. The morale of the army has been lost. It was another dark night, and the Chu army trampled on itself, killing and wounding countless people. Nangwa rode on his horse and sighed: "Today's defeat is because I don't listen to Sima's fault. Ay! What other faces do I have to see the King of Chu? It's better to die here in battle, you can serve the king's order! ”

Emperor Shi was ashamed and persuaded: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." A defeat today. It was just by chance that Sun Wu fell for his tricks. The main force of our army is not injured, and we can fight again with the Wu army in the coming day, why should Xiangguo be so depressed! ”

Nangwa was speechless, so he had to withdraw his troops and flee in a hurry. to their own camp. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the three stops turned and stopped, and then they got out of Dabie Mountain.

The Chu soldiers had just escaped from the battlefield, and at this time they heard a loud drum in front of them, with Cai Hou on the left and Tang Hou on the right, leading the army to intercept the defeated army of Nangwa.

Tang Hou pulled his bow on the horse and shouted: "Greedy man, return my horse, I can spare you from death today!" ”

Cai Hou Zhige also shouted angrily: "Nangwapfu! Give me back my Qiu Pei, so that you will not die! ”

Nangwa was furious and wanted to come forward to pick up the station, but was persuaded by Emperor Shi. Several generals guarded the sac tile and continued to run all the way back.

The Chu army was like a lost dog, taking advantage of the darkness to rush to the camp of Xiaobie Mountain. Nangwa was ashamed, annoyed, frightened and afraid. Later, the Wu army came closely, and Emperor Shi was hit by two arrows, still protecting the sac and retreating while fighting.

When he was in a hurry, he saw a flash of fire in front of him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that he would be unable to fly today. I didn't want that army to get closer, only to find out that it was Wuchenghei who was worried about the loss of the bag tile, so he came to respond, and he didn't want to be defeated by the bag tile.

Wu Chenghei led the Chu army to intercept the Wu soldiers and broke into the Wu array to rescue Nangwa.

Wu Chenghei did not dare to fight, and protected Nangwa to prepare to withdraw to the camp. After traveling for a few miles, he met a team of Chu army squads, who were running out, and seeing that it was his own army, Fang Da cried and reported: "The camp of this army has been robbed by the soldiers, and the generals scattered in a hurry, and they each fled, and they did not know what their whereabouts were." ”

When I heard it, my liver and gallbladder were broken. Now that his own camp has been robbed, and the chasing troops are standing up, he has to cheer up his spirit and convene several generals of Emperor Shi and Wuchenghei to discuss the strategy of retreat.

Nangwa said sadly: "In today's battle, our army fell into the tricks of the Wu army and suffered heavy casualties. Now that the camp has been robbed by the soldiers, and there is nowhere to return, it is better to cross the river and return to Hanyang. ”

Wucheng Black admonished: "When you return to Hanyang, you have to cross the river by boat, and now our army has been defeated, and the army's spirit has been lost." If you board the boat at this time and the Wu army chases after you, and our army gathers on the river bank for a while, and we can't completely cross the river, wouldn't it be just a drop into the water to feed the fish? ”

The bag was at a loss and had nothing to do.

Wu Chenghei said again: "It's better to lead the army to Baiju." There is a post road between Dabie Mountain and Xiaobie Mountain, which leads to Baiju. It is better for our army to withdraw here one after another, gather the scattered soldiers, and then fight a decisive battle with the Wu army. ”

Nangwa felt justified, and ordered the Black Hall of Wucheng to lead the Chu army to Baiju at night. Nangwa led the defeated soldiers, and when they arrived at Baiju, the army stopped and set up camp. Soon, Wuchenghei and Emperor Shi both arrived, and some of the scattered generals heard the news and gradually arrived at Baiju to gather with the main force of the Chu army.

The Chu army set up a camp and felt a little at ease. The 100,000 Chu troops who crossed the river in Nangwa suffered heavy losses after the battle of the front army and the battle of the camp, and more than 10,000 people were robbed and killed by the Wu army, and countless people were injured or fled.

Seeing that Baiju was in the north of the Han River and there was no danger to defend, Nangwa wanted to return to the south of the Han River and wanted to rely on the danger of the river to defend the Wu army.

Nangwa said to the generals: "Sun Wu's use of troops has changed deeply, our army has suffered a great defeat this time, and the old man thinks that it is better to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, ask the king for troops, and wait for the opportunity to fight again." ”

Emperor Shi was shocked and said forcefully: "Xiangguo led a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Wu soldiers, and the heavy troops of Chu were all in the hands of Xiangguo, and the country was empty. Xiangguo never thought that once our army withdrew and fled, and abandoned the village and returned to the south, then the army's morale would be greatly lost, and the fighting spirit would not be there. If Wu Bing crosses the river with the trend, he will drive straight in, and Yingdu is in danger! Yingdu lost the sin of the country, how to escape? ”

Nangwa said angrily: "Today's defeat is all your fault!" What did you say about crossing the river to fight and robbing the camp at night, but today you have become a defeated general! ”

"Although there is no danger to defend this Baiju, but the main force of our army is here, how dare the Wu army advance lightly? The young general was willing to fight to the death to prevent the Wu army from crossing the river. ”

Wu Chenghei also agreed with Emperor Shi's opinion and said, "Now that we have lost the battle, we don't have to complain to each other. General Shi Huang is right, if Xiangguo flees south and Wu's army crosses the river, there will be a lot of trouble. Why don't we set up camp in Baiju, copy the back road of the Wu army, and drag the Wu army here. When Sima's army arrives, it is not too late to reorganize the soldiers and horses and fight a decisive battle with the Wu army. ”

Nangwa is hesitating, but he has lost two battles and two defeats, and now that his military strength has been greatly damaged, he has a fear of war.

At this time, the colonel in front of the tent came to report: "The king has sent another army to meet it, and it has also arrived here at this time to join our army." ”

Nangwa was overjoyed and asked who was the general? The colonel told him that it was a long-range shot from the general.

Nangwa led the generals out of the camp to greet him, and said from afar: "The king heard that the Wu army was strong, and he was afraid that our army would not be able to win, so he ordered the young general to lead an army of 20,000 to come to help. But when the junior general sent out the army, he heard that Xiangguo was stationed in Hanyang, and when I led the army to Hanyang, I learned that Xiangguo had led the army to cross the river to fight the Wu army, so I rushed to come again. I don't know what the results of the war were? ”

Nangwa had to recount in detail the experience of fighting Wu Jun these few times, and there was a look of shame on his face.

Yuanshi said: "If Xiangguo can follow Sima's plan, how can he be defeated so far?" Today's plan, you can't fight with the Wu army, as long as you go down to the village to defend it, wait for Sima's army to arrive, and then strike twice, you will have a chance of winning. Otherwise, rash actions will be broken by the Wu army and bring about their own defeat. ”

Nangwa was not: "Because the old man believed the words of his generals, he led his troops to rob the Wu army camp, but he didn't want to be recognized by Sun Wu, but he robbed the camp. If the two armies line up against the enemy, why should our Chu soldiers be afraid of Wu Ye? Now that the general has led the army to the new arrival, he has replenished the new force, and it is better to fight to the death with the Wu army at this time, I don't know what the general wants? ”

The long-range shot was incompetent, so he led 20,000 horses from his headquarters to the side and set up camp, and formed a horn with the camp of Nangwa. Although there is an echo of each other, the two villages are more than ten miles apart.

Sun Wu saw that the Chu army had retreated to Baiju, and he did not cross the river, but he led the army to continue to pursue the Chu army. In less than a day, the Wu army also arrived at Baiju and faced the Chu army in Xiazhai. (To be continued......)
