Chapter 295: The Prologue to the War

The war came much faster than the Vietnamese expected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Overnight, between the Lonely Mountains and the Gongga Mountains, there was a lot of smoke. More than 300 villages and towns scattered on the Sangliu Plain were attacked by the Chu army almost simultaneously.

Most of the most powerful warriors in these villages and towns were only elite and high-level, and they almost instantly lost their ability to resist under the attack of a large number of heroes with disheveled outfits and different weapons.

There were only a few slightly decent troops in the small city, but unfortunately they faced ten times more opponents, and soon the troops were annihilated, and most of the city lords, town mayors, and village chiefs were captured.

To the surprise of the panicked civilians, these Chu people did not massacre unless they encountered fierce resistance. They plundered half of the wealth from the noble landlord's family, but left behind land and nearly half of the grain.

What makes the civilians even more strange is that these Chu troops gathered them, but they wanted to hold some "Qingyun People's Freedom and Liberation Conference".

The noble landlords who were rich and unkind were tied to the stage with high hats tied and knelt in front of the stage, and all the commoners who were willing to stand up and scold them with a punch and a knife could get a lot of grain, soft and even land.

The feudal system of the Yue Kingdom has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. The noble landlords never looked at these country mud legs above the nostrils. As a result, there are many grievances among the civilian population.

Under the leadership of a few bold and dilapidated households, the civilians of the Yue Kingdom rushed up and stabbed the noble landlords into a hornet's nest, winning the "liberation", and by the way, they also won a "first-class Qingyun people" badge.

This is a remarkable thing, with such a badge, the commoners have gained the same status as the conquerors of the Chu State, without worrying about being enslaved, exploited, or robbed of their wives, and their sons need to identify their DNA.

Of course, the first-class Qingyun people thought that the Chu army was still a little weak, and refused to cut down the grass and eradicate the whole family of Xungui, but instead sent the orphans and widows to the south of Gongga Mountain to be released. This is simply a woman's kindness.

Especially when some of the unleashed Mrs. and Young Master Xungui in the future will come over with red eyes and want to regain their property and land with "revenge and hatred". The first-level Qingyun people resisted desperately, and on the other hand, they couldn't help complaining that these Chu people didn't understand the simple truth of "cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows", and they obviously have a little bit of superiority in IQ.

In short, it only took two days for the Chu army to firmly grasp the Sangliu Plain. But in reality this barren plain was not the focus of the war.

On the front line of the lonely mountain, the only two fierce resistances took place in the two battle forts guarding the "peace" and "friendship" cross-border bridges.

These two battle forts were extremely strong, the defense facilities were complete, and the food, grass and armament were sufficient. Although the army guarding the battle fort was only 200,000 people, it was a truly elite border army with strong combat effectiveness.

The only surprise was that the Chu people did not kill from the two bridges, but swarmed from behind the battle forts, making most of the defensive measures of the Yue defenders become decorations.

Wu Lan, the old ten-captain of the Thunder Battle Castle, took his own people to the bridgehead as soon as the battle began, preparing to detonate the burst charm to destroy the Friendship Bridge.

Although he acted the most quickly, when Wu Lan rushed out of the city gate, he was already overwhelmed by a large wave of Chu troops in front of him. The Chu people are still dark, and in the starless and moonless night, they look even more like ghosts, only the clenched knives and guns reflect the light of sporadic torches.

Hearing the group of little guys behind Ding Xiaoer gasping in unison, Wu Lan exhaled and shouted, "I am invincible! Brothers rush with me!" waved the three-foot short knife in his hand and took the lead in swooping forward.

There are many mountains and forests in the Yue country, and in order to facilitate mountain warfare, the standard war knife is shorter than that of the Chu country, generally three feet and six inches. The war knife in Wu Lan's hand was six inches less, and the blade head was straight, like a thin plate.

As the saying goes, an inch is short and an inch is dangerous. Wu Lan rushed forward, and immediately stabbed several crosses in front of him. In the army's marksmanship, it is very rare to engage in parts such as piercing the eyebrows and throat, which are important but are very easy to empty. Three guns hung the wind, one stabbed the left chest, one stabbed the right abdomen, and the other took the root of the thigh.

Wu Lan didn't say a word, buried her head and rushed forward, seeing that the heart guard was about to touch the tip of the gun, her body was slightly sideways, flashing the middle and lower road double guns, although the shot in the chest was on the heart guard, but because of the angle problem, it slid to one side, leaving only a scratch on the heart guard.

With a short head on the side, Wu Lan drilled through the crack of the gun, the blade was obliquely wiped, and the throats of the two elite spearmen of the Chu State spurted blood, and their bodies fell backwards. Wu Lan didn't stop, leaned forward, pressed his shoulder against the chest of a spearman, and let the blood spray stain the red shoulder armor, and even the white beard was dyed blood.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Wu Lan walked quickly, carrying the corpse of the spearman, and slammed into the shield of the great shield soldier of the Chu State behind him. The loud bang was mixed with the sound of the spearman's ribs shattering, and a crack was suddenly revealed in the densely packed shield array.

Wu Lan was like a swimming fish, sliding into the shield array along the narrow gap, and slashed three people in a row at the beginning of the sword light, and immediately tore a small hole in the front of the Chu army.

"A soldier bears, a nest of bears"

With Wu Lan rushing to kill in front, Ding Xiaoer and other nine city guards doubled their courage, and together they wielded their guns and knives, and smashed into the enemy formation along the gap broken by Wu Lan.

The blood burst and screamed endlessly, Wu Lan was like an unstoppable tiger out of the flail, struggling to kill the depths of the enemy formation.

However, the Chu army that killed under Thunder Fort was all Marshal Lu Ning's old department, and they were all heroes who fought for their lives against the corpse demon army on the front line of Trapped Tiger Mountain. No matter how strong Wu Lan's momentum was, it couldn't make them afraid of it, but because this handful of people were so arrogant, they aroused the anger of the same enemy, and they roared and rushed up, like waves crashing on the reef.

Wu Lan, who once served as a general in the Southern Army, was indeed strong, and although the enemy was flooding, he could only slightly block the pace of advancement.

He didn't say a word, buried himself in the moves, and his moves were unremarkable, and he couldn't even call out the routine, but every time he stabbed out, the enemy was either dead or disabled. Within a moment, more than ten people had been killed.

But the nine border soldiers under Wu Lan were not so sharp. In the final analysis, these people are just miscellaneous troops watching the city gate, their level is not high, their force is mediocre, and they can still follow Wu Lan to fight a smooth battle at the beginning. When the Chu army swarmed from all directions, they suddenly couldn't parry.

In the blink of an eye, five Vietnamese border soldiers were stabbed with knives and spears and beheaded to the ground.

A recruit panicked, screamed in surprise, threw down his spear and fled backwards, could not take two steps, was shot in the back with two shots and an arrow, and was killed on the spot.

Wu Lan didn't care about his back at this time, the knife was like lightning, and he charged hard in the rain of guns and arrows. After fighting dozens of steps and bleeding, Wu Lan suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of him, but he had killed a team of 100 people and came to the gap between the two formations.

In less than half a cup of tea, Wu Lan was already hit by two arrows in her body and was injured in seven places, but fortunately, she was not at the critical point, and her combat power was not reduced.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Lan turned around, but saw that Ding Xiaoer was the only one left behind him, and the spear in his hand was also broken in two, but he picked up the long sword out of nowhere and grabbed it in his hand.

Wu Lan smiled dryly: "Little Er, are you afraid?"

"If you are afraid of the ball, people will die and birds will not die for thousands of years. Ding Xiaoer gasped, wiped the blood that kept coming out of his forehead with half of his sleeve, and answered loudly heroically.

"Okay! Xiao Er, if you don't die, you will be a general. Wu Lan raised his sword and pointed to the second Chu army that was killing frontally: "Let's kill with me for a while!"

An instant ago, the two of them were overwhelmed by the 100-strong team of the Chu army that rushed into battle.

By the time Wu Lan was covered with unkempt and dirty white hair, and the second military formation was killed, Ding Xiaoer's figure had disappeared. Wu Lan's helmet was lost and her armor was broken. The short knife in his hand was also replaced by the four-foot-long war knife of the Chu army, and the blade was full of gaps.

The left hand was broken, the right foot was lame, and the abdomen was pierced back and forth, and the whole body suffered countless injuries, and the blood flowed incessantly. Wu Lan's face was full of excitement, coughing up blood and shouting, "Come on!"

As he spoke, he dragged his wounded leg and brandished his sword to kill the third formation.

In the battle, the ten commanders of the Thunder Battle Fort of the Yue Kingdom, the former Southern Army rushed to the general Wu Lan, beheaded 63 enemies, was wounded by 37, and died less than 50 meters away from the Friendship Bridge.

Although the mechanism that detonated the Burst Charm at the bridgehead has been destroyed.

Half a day later, in the mansion of the Thunder City Lord, who was besieged by the Chu army, the city lord Wang Shoucheng hid his face and sighed three times, knelt facing the south, and drew his sword to kill himself.

The Thunder Warlord then fell. This is the place where the north of Nanxiu City has resisted for the longest time.

At this time, as the city lord of Nanxiu City, the governor of the Northern Army of the Yue Kingdom, and Chen Siyi, the uncle of the Great Yue Emperor, was also in a very bad situation.

"How is it possible? Tens of thousands of Chu troops appeared in Nanxiu City, how did they sneak in?" )
