Chapter 210 Crossing the River

Three days later, Chu Jing set off with 80,000 soldiers and 4,000 demon beast troops, and the destination was Green Water City, one of the barriers in the northwest.

This news shocked many people, and the most surprising of them was the eldest prince.

Xinyang City Palace.

The Seventh Prince took the chapter and was angry, "What is this Chu Jing going to do, it is not enough to give him the two cities of Yuanwang and Heiyang, he still wants to go on an expedition, does he not take me seriously at all?"

Renjin City is a buffer between the Seven Princes and the Great Prince, if he can, the Great Prince doesn't want Chu Jing to make any moves at all, the threat of the Three Princes is much greater than that of the Seventh Prince, even if the Seventh Prince captures the Xiao family's Jinning City, but it takes so long, and two generals died, the Great Prince does not feel the threat from the Seven Princes at all.

However, if the Seventh Prince drags his own hind legs behind his back, it will still be very uncomfortable.

Qi Lin didn't speak on the side, but was thinking.

After venting his anger, the eldest prince asked his most loyal confidant, "Qi Lin, what do you think?"

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment and said: "The specific details of the war between Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, our intelligence officers have already passed on the news, it is said that Chu Jing has a demon beast corps in his hands, the number is not small, General Chen of Juyun City has fought with it, and many people have been killed and injured. ”

The eldest prince said disdainfully: "It's just some blood wolves, although there are a lot, but the blood wolves themselves are demon beasts that act collectively, as long as you tame a blood wolf king, it is normal to bring a thousand ordinary blood wolves, and if you are on the battlefield, the blood wolves are not as good as my blood wolf army." ”

The information of the eldest prince is still on the hundreds of blood wolves of the Lord, the blood wolves are a big disaster in the country of Xin, often attacking villages, and even post stations, but they are also easier to deal with than other demon beasts.

An experienced demon beast clean-up force can fight against a large-scale blood wolf with a very small number of people.

Qi Lin said: "Although the blood wolf is weak, it must be guarded against, since Chu Jing's subordinates have the talent to tame the beast, we must also have a restraint plan." ”

"When my father sent an army to conquer the Demon Beast Domain, he created a lot of heavy armor, which could effectively prevent the fangs and sharp teeth of the demon beasts, which was useless in siege warfare, but it was still very easy to send a team of heavy armor soldiers to deal with blood wolves. ”

There is a reason why the eldest prince does not pay attention to the demon beast troops, there are many more wars with demon beasts in human history than wars between countries, and there are high city walls to defend, and the role of demon beasts is not particularly large.

Qi Lin put forward another point, "Chu Jing seems to have a way to destroy the city wall, the city wall of Yuanwang City suddenly collapsed twice in a row that day, which is the most critical reason for the loss of Yuanwang City." ”

The eldest prince finally showed a solemn expression and said: "According to the report of the spies, there were soldiers in the area of the collapse of the city wall at that time, it seems that there were huge explosions and sparks, and the dead soldiers were mutilated and had scorch marks, but it was somewhat like the gods who awakened the fire ability. ”

Qi Lin shook his head and disagreed, "If it is really a divine descendant, the six doors should be aware of it, but now the six doors have not launched an investigation on Chu Jing, so it shouldn't be." ”

As soon as the six doors were mentioned, the eldest prince was angry, this is also the organization of the imperial court, and he should have obeyed his orders, but the god of capture refused to obey all his dispatches on the grounds that the throne was undecided, and only cared about the crimes of the country, and kept away from several princes.

"The six doors are catching a few little mice in the Demon Beast Domain, and the cat that caught the mice was actually killed by the mice, and now the god catcher is very annoyed. ”

The eldest prince scoffed.

Qi Lin also had no way to take the six gates, and even the emperor directly established a Dali Temple because he couldn't control the six gates.

However, the problem now is not these, the most important thing for them now is how not to lose and gain greater benefits during the Chujing expedition.

"The direction of Chu Jing is northwest, and it basically bypasses our city, and the lower official has ordered the nearby city lords to pay attention to defense, so there will be no problem. ”

"Northwest, Chu Jing also knew that I was not easy to mess with, so I went to play with the second brother's beard, at that time, the second brother sacrificed a lot of people to take the two northwest barriers of Green Water City and Linshui City, if either of these two cities was lost, it would be enough for him to have a headache. ”

The eldest prince said again: "By the way, in addition to defending the city, how many soldiers do we have at our disposal. ”

Qi Lin replied: "At present, Anping City has rearranged the defense of 100,000 troops, Xinyang City has 300,000 blood wolf troops, and the others can only mobilize 400,000 people, and there are quite a lot of new recruits. ”

"400,000 ah......" The eldest prince felt that it was still a little less, the war between him and the third prince was best a head-on decisive battle, the last time it made him not have much prestige, and he fell a lot in an instant, if he continued to cower in Anping City and Xinyang City, I am afraid that he will be even farther away from the throne.

"Do we want to send troops to attack another city, I understand now, it is not necessary to bring many troops to surrender to his own city lord, just like the Seven Princes, I decided to conquer, after conquering the northwest, the soldiers of those cities can be mobilized by me. ”

Qi Lin somewhat recognized the idea of the eldest prince, but a very important question was placed in front of them, "But as soon as we make a move, the third prince will ...... there."

The eldest prince glanced at Qi Lin deeply and said, "Chu Jing only brought 80,000 people, I will give you 200,000, when Chu Jing makes a move on one of the cities, you will take the opportunity to attack the other, this Ren."

It shouldn't be hard for you, right?"

Qi Lin pondered for a while and agreed.

In the current situation, perhaps only this road can be smoothed.

Moreover, after Qi Lin survived two near-deaths, the Nine Lives and Nine Deaths Xuangong has successfully broken through to the fifth layer, although he is still far from the peak, but his current strength is already very strong, if it is just internal strength, it is no longer Xiao Jing and Wei Chi.

When you break through the sixth layer, you will directly have the possibility of surpassing the Ling Xuan Realm.

Strength gave Qi Lin great confidence, and if Chu Jing could really lead away the defenders of the two cities, it would not be very difficult to capture the next city with 200,000 troops.

Moreover, the city lord who was effectively loyal to the Great Prince in the vicinity of Green Water City and Linshui City was not a problem with logistics and supplies, but Chu Jing did not bring a lengthy supply line, so it seemed that he planned to fight quickly.

In fact, Chu Jing was not prepared to spend too much time on this expedition, and from all points of view, it was not suitable for him to stay in the northwest for too long.

With Tanya's blasting bomb, as soon as the city wall falls, the demon beast cavalry can directly charge in, and the army will press on, and it won't waste too much time.

Chu Jing filled all the mustard seed bags with grain, and if the vegetables were to be eaten, they could only eat wild vegetables and game, and everyone had some dry food to carry with them, but they could also support it for a while.

After a long journey of ten days, Chu Jing's army came to the Green Water River, opposite to the Green Water City and Linshui City, between the two cities is Guiqi Mountain, and beyond is the continuous mountain range, Chu Jing really realized the reason why the northwest can be completely isolated.

It's very difficult just to cross the Green River.

The Green River is neither deep nor shallow, and there are many aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water, and from the surface of the water, it seems that it is a beautiful river as green as emerald.

It is precisely because of these aquatic weeds that it is inconvenient for large ships to travel in the water, and small ships are not enough to carry large-scale troops.

Halfway across the river was attacked from the shore, which was a very, very unfavorable situation.

Yu Ban and other generals also had a headache when they saw such a scene, it would be good if Xu Sheng was here, he was the general of Eastern Wu, and he knew more about water warfare.

It's a pity that Xu Sheng defended Yuanwang City at this time and didn't follow.

Zhou Tai, Han Dang, and Chen Wu are also familiar with water warfare, but these three are just martial artists, and they don't have good opinions.

Meng Shu came back from the Green Water River with a disappointed expression on his face and said, "There aren't too many demon beast fish in this river, and my spell is useless against fish. ”

The green water river is shallow, and slightly larger fish are rare, where there will be any monsters.

Chu Jing had a little idea.

In the Battle of Chibi, because there were many northern soldiers who were seasick, Cao Cao ordered people to lock the warships together, as if walking on the ground.

Now Chu Jing is afraid that he will encounter a sneak attack when crossing the river, can he also use this trick.

Chu Jing told everyone about the strategy, got the support of many generals, found skilled craftsmen who were good at the army, and made a drawing.

Felling trees to make small rafts, which were then tied together with rattan and put into the water in batches, and the gap in the middle could be supported by slender bamboo poles, so that although it took a long time, it was enough to train the green water river into a piece of water, and the soldiers could move freely on it.

It's just winter, and the river is flowing very slowly, otherwise the possibility of such a solution will be greatly reduced.

All the soldiers began to get busy, cutting wood and building rafts one after another.

And on the other side of the Green Water River, the two henchmen and generals of the city lords of Green Water City and Linshui City will see the scene on Chu Jing's side from afar.

However, after finding out that the number of people on the opposite side was less than 100,000, the two defenders were relieved, and each city had 100,000 defenders, adding up to 200,000, and they were not worried at all.

Simply reported to the second prince who was far away in Fuchun City, and the guards of the two cities were waiting for Chu Jing to start crossing the river, ready to catch him off guard when he was halfway through the river.

It was not until three days later that the rafts used to cross the river were ready, and it took a lot of effort to connect them with rattans, and when all the rafts were lowered into the water, the farthest point was already in the middle of the green water river, hundreds of meters wide.

Chu Jing and the generals stood at the front, followed by the heavy cavalry and shield soldiers, as well as the archers who hid behind the shield soldiers.

When the defenders of Green Water City saw that the other party dared to cross the river on their side, they immediately mobilized their own 100,000 defenders and launched a formation by the river.

There was no movement in Linshui City, after all, there was still some distance between the two cities, and the defenders of Linshui City were afraid that it would be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and besides, the enemy was limited in number, and the people of Green Water City should be able to deal with it.

In the final analysis, everyone didn't pay attention to Chu Jing's team at all, and the number of people was even smaller than that of the side defending the city, was this here to send him to death, or was it funny?

Chu Jing's team still held up a long bamboo pole and slowly crossed the green water river, after all, it was a super raft connected together, even if everyone worked together, the speed was not much faster.

Zirui sneered: "It's really steady." ”

Compared to demon beasts, the war between humans is too complicated and troublesome, and the number of people is often the decisive factor in victory.

And for demon beasts, if the skin is thick enough and the attack power is strong enough, they can easily win.

Even if Zirui did it herself, it wouldn't take much effort to destroy a city.

Chu Jing's explanation is that there is no justice or injustice in war, but individual killing is not recognized by all human beings, and will only be isolated, treated as an evil demon, and besieged and killed by decent people under the banner of justice.

Zirui didn't particularly understand, but she knew that she couldn't make a move easily, and even a master couldn't make a move easily, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.

Zirui is not afraid of trouble, not afraid of troubles that can be solved, but the troubles that Chu Jing said cannot be solved.

The soldiers of Greenwater City were shocked to see the scene on the Greenwater River, and the way they crossed the Greenwater River in this way made them feel extremely incredible.

The guard of Green Water City paused for a moment, and suddenly sneered again, "Stupid! light my arrows and release rockets!"

It was daytime, and there was no preparation in advance, and the soldiers of Green Water City were all stunned, "General...... No rockets ......"

"That'...... Then let the arrows go! And let people speed to get it without mistakes. ”

The guards of Green Water City were also helpless, and they had already made more preparations if they knew it.

The rain of arrows on the shore came, Chu Jing had already prepared here, the shield was raised, and the archers began to shoot at each other.

Chu Jing and other masters also helped to stop many arrows.

When they approached the shore, a rocket was shot on the shore, but Chu Jing was not frightened at all, although they stepped on the raft, but the draft of the raft was relatively deep, most of them were under the water, and the raft was not big, even if it was on fire, step on the raft heavily, so that the burning end was submerged in the water.

Finally arrived at the opposite bank, Chu Jing led the generals to charge ahead, and the bone armored horse cavalry and the barbarian demon bull heavy cavalry behind him also rushed out, able to pull the enemy out of the city to fight, this is the most ideal state, how could Chu Jing not seize the opportunity.

At the beginning of the war, under the suppression of high-end force and the heavy cavalry, the soldiers of Green Water City soon revealed defeat.

The defender of Green Water City was also panicked at this time, and it was only then that he found that the opposing cavalry was not riding a horse, but a demon beast, and the heavy armor on his body made it impossible for the sword to hurt them at all, especially the bull-type demon beast, which could actually emit light that could petrify soldiers from its red eyes, which was simply terrifying.

I don't know where there are thousands of blood wolves running from the rear, these are demon beasts gnawing corpses, and the soldiers are worried that they will become the blood wolf's dinner after they die here.

"The former army changed into the rear army, organized a formation, and quickly withdrew to the city. ”

The defender of Green Water City commanded loudly, but there was still a little distance from Green Water City to Green Water River, and under the siege and interception of the Barbarian Demon Ox Heavy Cavalry and Bone Armored Horses, the army had no time to evacuate.

"Surrender, I surrender!"

The gap was too big to see any hope of escape, and some soldiers from Green Water City threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and shouted surrender.

Infected by the surrendered soldiers, other soldiers also threw down their weapons and shouted for surrender.

The second prince sent ordinary people to attack Green Water City, and he had already lost the hearts of the people, how could these soldiers be willing to lose their lives for him.

The face of the defender of Green Water City changed greatly, thinking that it was impossible for him to escape death if he escaped alone, although his family was in Fuchun City, but his own life was important, so he simply surrendered.

This battle took place extremely quickly, and in the time when Chu Jing crossed the Lushui River for only a stick of incense, the soldiers of Lushui City were defeated, surrendering 60,000 people, and 40,000 were killed or disappeared in the melee.

Even the defenders of Green Water City surrendered, and Green Water City was easily taken down, which made Chu Jing feel very, very surprised.

After entering Greenwater City, the congregation will begin to think about the next step.

Zhou Tai reported: "Although this battle successfully took Green Water City, but our army still has some casualties, more than 5,000 people died, more than 4,000 people were wounded and can not fight again, we only have 70,000 people left, and we have to send people to guard the prisoners, as well as defend Green Water City, I am afraid that we will not be able to take out soldiers to attack other cities." ”

Meng Shu also said: "My demon beast army also has more than a hundred blood wolves, and the other casualties are not large, so we can fight again." ”

Chu Jing thought for a long time and said: "The surrendered soldiers can also be used, we can leave 20,000 soldiers to defend Lushucheng, and the remaining 50,000 and 60,000 soldiers will go to Shangyu City together, the soldiers in the northwest are mainly concentrated in the three cities of Lushui, Linshui and Fuchun City, and the strength of Shangyu City is weak and can be captured." ”

Han Dang was a little worried, "Are these troops really available? ”

Chu Jing replied firmly: "As long as we give enough military salaries and only win battles, they can be used." ”

As long as the military pay is enough, who is not to do it, and winning the battle is to ensure that they cannot find a chance to betray.

Shen Xiaoye decided to stay and serve as the city lord of Green Water City, although she didn't hate this kind of thing, and even liked to use this simple and rough solution, but for ordinary soldiers, they were not bad people, Shen Xiaoye was still unwilling,

"Give me the Green Water City, you can rest assured that you will go to Shangyu City, and I will guarantee the safety of your rear. ”

Shen Xiaoye was full of confidence, Chu Jing naturally wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm, and directly appointed her as the city lord of Green Water City, and then gave him Han Dang as the deputy city lord.

Han Dang's strength is the weakest, but he has been a champion and is still very experienced in internal affairs. With him by Shen Xiaoye's side, Chu Jing was really relieved, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hand over such an important city to Shen Xiaoye alone.
