It was only early afternoon on this day, and Zhuan Fu was sitting anxiously in the big tent, waiting for news from Jiguang. At this time, the Malay report was that General Chu was floating alone and led 300 chariots, with more than 30,000 soldiers, and it was only ten miles away from the west of Juyang.

The special support was shocked, the Chu army had arrived, and the results of Ji Guang and Wu Ding's attack on Juyang City had not yet been reported. If Ji Guangzhi's army fails to capture Juyang before the arrival of the Chu army, the Wu army will fall into a situation of being beaten on both sides and extremely passive, like boiling into a pot of raw rice, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

The camp of the special support center is in the south of Juyang City, which is two points and one line with Juyang, and lies on the road that the Chu army must pass to the Chen State.

Zhuan Fu thought to himself: "The Chu army must have been informed of the strategic deployment of our army, and now there are only two possibilities: one is that Jiguang captures Juyang City successfully, and the Chu army will divide its troops into two routes, all the way to Juyang, and all the way to attack the Wu army camp in the south of itself; Another possibility is that Ji Guang failed to capture Juyang before the Chu army arrived, and the Chu army would also divide its troops all the way to rescue Juyang City. In any case, the Chu army will divide its troops in front of Juyang. ”

So he ordered to send 500 light cavalry to march quickly to the front of Juyang City, spread the flag, mainly to bewitch the Chu army, and was not allowed to fight, once it was glued to the front of the Chu army, it would use the cavalry's rapid mobility to retreat. When the Chu army saw that the Wu army was prepared, they would naturally be jealous and dare not act rashly.

As night approached, the sentry horse returned to the camp to report that Ji Guang's army had captured Juyang City as early as noon. The more than 1,000 defenders in Juyang City were basically crushed at the first touch, and the messenger sergeant sent by Ji Guang was very likely to be captured by the outpost of the Chu army, so Zhuan Fu failed to get the battle report from the front. Other words. The Chu army captured the herald sergeant of the Wu army, and naturally was very clear about the situation in Juyang City.

The 500 light cavalry led by Speed and the Commander also returned to the station at this time, and they learned that Juyang City had been taken by Ji Guang. His mission of harassing the enemy has also been accomplished. Now that the Wu army is using Juyang City as the fulcrum, the strategic purpose of intercepting the Chu army to rescue Chen has been achieved, and the arduous tug-of-war is about to begin.

And the Chu general Shan Fu was camped in the convex part of the camp between Juyang and the Wu army, and the Chu army didn't seem to be in a hurry, and there was no movement for two days. Nor do they send troops to challenge.

Early in the morning of the third day, the Chu army went out of the village to challenge in front of the Wu army camp. The Wu army had already followed the order of the special support, as long as the Chu army did not attack the camp. You don't have to deal with it; Once the Chu army attacked forward, the archers who were lying in ambush in front of the gate used the array of arrows to block the Chu army's attack.

The Chu army first attacked tentatively for a while, and when they saw that the Wu army's arrow rain was very powerful, they did not like to fight. Immediately retreated.

The 300 chariots led by the Chu army this time were suitable for the battle on the plains. Charging into battle is very powerful, but for attacking camps and cities, the chariot is more than enough and not enough. However, from the perspective of the Chu army, it wanted to use the strong forces and the sharp impact of the chariot to have a face-to-face confrontation with the Wu army, line up the formation, and face each other.

After all, for Chu Jun, he has a certain sense of fear of Wu Jun in his heart. Whether it is King Zhao or Coach Shan Fuyu, they all want to use the absolute strength of the chariot. Defeat the Wu army. The monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu wanted a victory too much to restore the confidence of the Chu army. So this time, King Chu Zhao sent 300 chariots and 30,000 soldiers, which was far more powerful than the 20,000 troops of Wu's army. Moreover, there are only 10,000 Wu troops who came to Juyang to stop the Chu army, and with three to one, it seems that the Chu army has the chance to win!

Zhuan Fu was studying and judging the possible military operations launched by the Chu army these days, and at this time, the sentry Ma reported: "Report to the main general, the outpost found that the Chu army has sent a large number of soldiers to Juyang, it may be that the Chu army has begun to attack Juyang!" ”

"Probe!" Zhuan Fu waved his hand to the spies, and smiled at the generals: "It seems that Shan Fu can't sit still, seeing that the bone of my camp is not easy to gnaw, now I go to find trouble with General Ji Guang!" ”

Su and Dao: "According to the strength of the Chu army, it could have attacked Juyang and our big camp here at the same time. However, Shan Fu was heavy in Lao Cheng and used heavy troops to attack Juyang, but left a force to contain us from rescuing Juyang. ”

Zhuan Fu said: "Ben Jiang has already expected this! Hurry up and listen to the order, you lead an army of 2,000 to bypass the Chu army camp, and at the speed of a rapid march, first go east, avoid the Chu army's outposts, and then turn westward, go around the back of the Chu army's ass, and bite his tail! ”

Su He said: "General, if the troops left behind by the Chu army attack our army's camp, then we will be very dangerous!" ”

"The general expected that the remaining Chu army would definitely not go out of the camp to attack our army's camp, and the Chu army left behind must be for the strategic purpose of preventing us from sending troops to rescue the giant city. So don't worry, general, just go! ”

Seeing that he was determined to help him, he put his mind at ease and led 2,000 elite soldiers to make a detour to attack the Chu army.

However, it was said that the commander of the Chu army, Shan Fuyu, divided the troops into two, and personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Juyang, which was occupied by the Wu general Jiguang, and ordered the deputy general Dou Li to lead an army of 10,000 to stay in the camp, entangled the main force of the Wu army in the south, and ordered that as long as the Wu army did not move, it was not allowed to fight. Shan Fuyu's intention is obvious, that is, to entangle the main force of the Wu army on the one hand, and prevent the Wu army from sending troops to rescue Juyang. He led the absolute superior forces and planned to capture Juyang in one go.

Early in the morning of this day, Shan Fu ordered the army to cook food on the third watch and set off on the fifth watch. Before dawn, 20,000 Chu troops surrounded Juyang City, and several drums sounded under the city, and the Chu army moved out of the rushing car and attacked at the four gates of Juyang City at the same time.

This Juyang City is a small border city of Chu State, and it is a square city, with four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest according to the direction. The rushing cars under the city slowly moved out of the Chu array.

This type of rushing cart is a mobile wooden platform made of logs, equipped with eight large wheels underneath, and the main power is propelled by the soldiers under the vehicle. At the front of the cart, there was brass armor to protect the cart's foot soldiers from enemy bows and arrows. At the top of the rush is an arrow tower, which can be used to fire arrows at opponents in the city from a high position, and is used to cover the besieging soldiers.

Under the rushing car, the soldiers of the Chu army were like ants, and the heavy rushing car was moved to the edge of the city wall, and the crossbowmen on the top arrow tower released arrows into the city, and the arrows were like flying locusts for a while.

And groups of Chu troops, holding high ladders one after another, like ant colonies climbing tree branches, swarming up.

Ji Guang in the city was also prepared, he ordered Wu Ding to lead a group of heavy armor soldiers to protect each other with shields, cut off the front of the cloud ladder with a sharp Wu hook, and cover a group of archers to release arrows to the Chu army besieging the city.

The soldiers on the ladder are like big birds with folded wings, one by one howling and falling, going forward and one after another. Under the impact of the Chu army wave after wave, the small city of Juyang is like a swaying boat in a sea of people, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the angry sea under the city.

The huge gate was torn apart by the impact of the wood, and the sound of the crash was heartbreaking. The defenders of the city had to constantly strengthen and support more fulcrums with huge logs; Seeing that the city gate was in danger, the Wu army on the city tower gathered heavy troops to greet them with boiling water, boiling oil, stones, bows and arrows, and the pressure in front of the city gate was slightly relieved.

Ji Guang was the first to die, he was wearing heavy armor, standing on the tower of the west gate, commanding the battle. At this time, I saw the big banner of the word 'Shan' floating in the middle army of the Chu army from a distance, and it seemed that the Chu general Shan Fu Yu came to attack the city in person.

The clouds drifted lazily overhead, and the sound of continuous fighting continued until the afternoon.

The situation of the Wu army is becoming more and more critical, the fierce battle has been fought for several hours, the soldiers on both sides are exhausted, although the Chu army has left thousands of corpses under the city, but it has gradually turned around, the south gate of Juyang City has been captured by the Chu army A section of the city wall, the south gate is tight, Ji Guang urgently ordered Wu Ding to go to the south gate to support.

At this moment, behind Chu Jun, a deafening sound of rushing and killing sounded.

At this time, whether it was the Wu army standing on the city wall, or the Chu army who was climbing on the cloud ladder, or the main generals of both sides, they all froze at the same time at this moment! This unexpected sound will determine the outcome of this battle, and for both sides in the tug-of-war, what will it mean to have a new force to join!

Ji Guang on the city tower faintly had a kind of expectation, he knew that the main force of the special support was the most likely to appear here, and of course, it could not be ruled out that it was the backup force of the Chu army.

The dust in the sky dissipated, and Ji Guang faintly saw the banner of the dragon floating, which was the banner of the Dragon Banner Army!

Ji Guang was overjoyed, raised his arms and shouted: "Our army is coming, our army is coming!" Kill—"

When Wu Jun saw that his own troops were coming to reinforce him, he all regrouped and his morale increased by ten points; When the Chu army heard that the Wu army was attacking from behind, they didn't know how many troops the Wu army came to help, so they were all panicked, but their morale was reduced by ten points.
