Remember [Pen ♂ Fun → Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
When the urgent messenger arrived, Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince of Pakistan, learned an important piece of good news:
The reinforcements were divided into two routes, Ba Rui led more than half of the warriors to take the dry road, and Ba Wuji led the rest (mainly sailors, etc.) to take the waterway and joined up again in Danfushui; in order to prevent the secret agents of the Chu State from reporting the news in time, according to the order of the general Ba Wuji, they marched day and night, and no one was allowed to leave the team alone, and more than three people had to go together; the reinforcements had already passed through Jiangzhou, and it was estimated that they would arrive at the capital at this time.
When the eighth prince Ba Yuan'an heard the news, he said, "God has finally opened his eyes!"
Ba Yuanan finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and sighed: "The big hole at the gate of the gorge, the demon soldiers, and the reinforcements, for a while, it seems that everything is going well." There is no endless road!"
Ba Yuan'an ordered to immediately invite the deputy marshal Gu Menglong to share this great news.
At the same time, the reinforcements did not come here (Longxikou) first, but stationed in the area more than 20 miles away from the gate of the gorge to stand by, and together with the battle here, they directly entered the battlefield (from the gate of the gorge to the section of Mao'ergou), so that the people of Chu did not know that the reinforcements had arrived before the battle, and at the same time, if it was unfavorable, the reinforcements could block the Chu army from going straight to the capital.
Ba Yuanan accepted the suggestion of Xiao Menglong, and asked the person to report back to the general Ba Wujian and contact him at any time.
Seven or eight days later, the Chu army was ready, the formation and training were completed, and the Chu generals Yang Ming and Qu Rong led a boat division of 50,000, known as 100,000, and moved to Gaoguwan, which was more than 20 miles away from the mouth of Longxi.
Originally, Yang Ming wanted to use the relocation camp to lure the Ba people to take the initiative to attack, but he didn't expect the Ba people to be really frightened and didn't dare to come.
Three days later, under the order of the main general Yang Ming, the largest water battle in the history of the lower reaches of Danfushui (Wujiang) began.
The sunny weather, under the white clouds and blue sky, between the green mountains and green waters, is full of murderous atmosphere.
The worshippers of both warring parties believed that all the gods who could help win the battle invited the gods to their side in the most sincere way. Because it is a water war, the Danfu water god is specially sacrificed, and I don't know if the water god in the hearts of both sides looks the same.
The Ba people did even more desperately, and they were even more cruel, throwing two living male animals who had retreated on the battlefield and committed capital crimes into the surging river to sacrifice to the god of Danfu water. If Simon Leopard was present, it is estimated that high blood pressure would be angry.
The Chu army was divided into two armies, the front and rear, and the rear army was mainly for support and reinforcement. Yang Ming believes that the 20,000 former army has taken a great advantage of the Ba people.
The commander of the Chu army, Yang Ming, personally led 20,000 elites in the front, Qu Rong led 30,000 in the rear, and the standard mausoleum division was responsible for guarding the house - this arrangement was opposed by the deputy marshal Qu Rong and the supervising army Jing Ling, who believed that the front army should be led by Qu Rong or Zhuang Fu, but Yang Ming did not adopt it, and decided to lead it himself, and he should command this water battle that is enough to go down in history at the first time and on the first scene; with the famous general Shen Xiao of the Sailor Division as the striker, and the famous general Douying of the Mausoleum Division as the deputy striker.
The Chu army set off from Gaogu Bay and rushed straight to Longxikou.
On a large-winged war boat, Chu General Han Zhuang said to the deputy marshal Qu Rong: "General, what will General Yangming do in this battle?"
"I am strong and the enemy is weak, and the defeat of the Pakistanis is certain. ”
Han Zhuang said: "I see that General Yangda came this time, changed his old demeanor, and had the idea of eager to establish meritorious service, this is because he feels that he is getting older, and he is worried that he will be idle again, and he is afraid that there are not many opportunities for meritorious service." The so-called haste is not reached, and everything is in a hurry, which is not a good thing. ”
Qu Rong shouted: "The big war is imminent, how can such ominous words come out!"
Han Zhuang said: "This victory, he can take the capital directly." He eats meat, and we always have to drink soup. General, you have said several times that you want to enter Hu'an Mountain, why don't you take advantage of the great battle between the two armies in the river at this time, and the main forces of the two armies are on the water, send a surprise army to attack Hu'an Mountain?"
Qu Rong said with a smile: "I expect that this battle will be won, but if Yang wants to take the citrus capital, how easy is it to say! Even if he takes the citrus capital, he will be attacked by the enemies of Pingdu and Jiangzhou, and how difficult it will be to defend it." Yang Ming must have expected this, he was just the king's order to disobey, on the grounds of the orange capital, all the Danfu water and orange capital, choked the throat of the Pakistani army's counteroffensive, first stabilized the southeast of Pakistan, and then Xu Tu Citrus and the eastern part of Pakistan. At this time, if you go to attack Hu'an Mountain, you will be ambushed, and Yang Ming, Zhaoyun and others have also calculated this. As for Hu'anshan, after today's defeat of the Pakistani people, Hu'anshan went down without a fight, so why bother. ”
While the two were talking, Yangming's 20,000 troops had reached about five miles upstream of Longxikou, and encountered the Pakistani army on a water surface about several miles long and gentle.
The commander of the Pakistani army, Ba Yuanan, and the deputy marshal Gu Menglong, led about seven or eight thousand people and hundreds of war boats, rushed towards the Chu army.
The two armies were a stone's throw apart, and the Chu army was the first to release arrows, followed by the Ba people. After three rounds, hundreds of people were killed and wounded on each side.
Yang Ming ordered the troops to march, and the big war began!
The two sides are in a scuffle, the 30,000 boats of the Chu army have arrived, and the Pakistani people are quickly in absolute disadvantage, the formation has been chaotic, and the whole army is about to be destroyed, and the commander of the Pakistani army, Ba Yuanan, ordered to evacuate.
When the Pakistani army saw the flag, they retreated.
Chu Qianfeng Shen Xiao shouted: "Attack with all your strength, until the fang capital stops!"
The drums of war thundered, the flags fluttered, and the sound of killing was mixed.
The Chu army chased out for several miles, and had already arrived at the Longxikou wharf, where the Ba army, the general of Longpai, Tu Tianchi, and the general of Long Fei, Wucheng, led more than 2,000 boat divisions to kill them from Longxikou and intercept the Chu army.
The boat is fast, and he meets Shen Xiao and fights in one place.
In the midst of the scuffle, several more Chu generals arrived, and an unknown Chu general shouted: "The leader of the Ba people here is the living ghost who killed General Slip Zai, and today he will avenge General Slip Zai!"
Chu Zhanzhou swarmed over and surrounded Tutian in the center of the river.
Water warfare is a typical set of projects, Long Fei General Wucheng did not practice water warfare before, lived in the mouth of the three rivers of Pangu Lake for many days, and also became a sailor general, plus want to show off the long fork skills, where is willing to let go of this good opportunity, naturally to be able to, seeing that the sky is surrounded, anxious as fire, want to kill the past to rescue, just met Chu general Xiang Hun on a sudden (Monchong) war boat, led a team of boat divisions to help the battle, Wucheng ordered to stop the past.
After rowing dozens of steps away, Wu Cheng shouted: "General Chu, I'm coming!"
Wucheng's General Long Fei's banner was broken as early as the first round of random arrows, and it was twisted and put in the boat, Xiang Hun didn't know Wucheng, and shouted: "Nameless, don't come to die!"
Being ignored by others is something even more uncomfortable than dying in battle, and Wucheng was furious.
Xiang Hun just wanted to hurry up and kill the famous general of the Ba State, Tu Tianqi, and was not interested in Wucheng, so he ordered: "Knock him over!" The Chu State War Boat was stronger than the Ba State as a whole, and rushed over.
Seeing that the enemy boat had been encountered, Wucheng waved the Ba-style long fork and stabbed at the nearest Chu person, but because the rod was not long enough, it did not stab the person, Wucheng was furious and scolded: "Mother, the long weapon of the Ba people is also impotence!"
Before the words were finished, there was a "bang", the two boats collided, and the Wucheng boat overturned into the water.
The people who were in the same boat with Wucheng fell into the water, scattered in all directions, and when they surfaced, they saw Xiang Hun and a team of war boats paddling quickly from the water, and they disappeared from the general Wucheng of Long Fei, thinking that they were sinking to the bottom and escaped separately.
The water quality of Wucheng is not too bad, but he was hit by the chaotic war boat, dizzy, and because of the heavy armor he was wearing, he finally escaped with his life, he had eaten a few mouthfuls of water, his nose was blue and his face was white, and he was floating and sinking in the river.
Although the main general of the boat division of the Hu'an Mountain tribe, Tutian Ruler, has fought countless battles with the Chu army, but has never fought in water, underestimating the strength of the Chu State Boat Division, Tutian Ruler was originally an organic part of luring the Chu army, his wishful thinking is to kill for a while and run, and he can't think of rushing left and right desperately, and he can't get out.
The more the Tutian ruler broke through, the thicker the encirclement became, and he was covered with the blood of his dead and wounded comrades and Chu people, and he waved his halberd and shouted: "Brothers, next year and today, it will be the sacrifice day we are waiting for!"
At the time of crisis, Fan Dang, the second-ranked warrior of the Fan clan of the clan of Hu'an Mountain, led the boat to fight nearby, and when he saw that Tu Tianqi could not get out, he shouted: "Kill a bloody road, General Bao Longwei is out of danger!"
Fan Dang led the warriors of his headquarters to lose their opponents, fought desperately, and tore open a hole in the war boat of the Chu State.
Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Tutian Qi sacrificed his life to break through and escaped.
Fan Dang was injured by Shen Xiao, but fortunately he was not injured and fled by water.
Long Fei's general Wucheng fell into the water, and after a long time, he was about to drown, and was found by the escaped Fan's war boat, rescued him and climbed into a small boat, and then burst out.
The Ba army at Longxikou was defeated in ambush, and the Chu general Zhaoyun led 1,000 men to the shore to block the road entrance of the Longxikou wharf according to the advance plan, and about 2,000 people landed about three miles upstream of Longxikou and hid in the jungle.
The army of Chu pursued the defeated army of Pakistan, about fifteen or sixteen miles downstream of Longxikou, and rushed out of a team of Ba boats from the inlet, led by the brothers of Ezhuo and Eyue, who were led by the generals of the Mandarin and Eyue, and let the remnants of the army of the sky intercept the war boats of the Chu army, and kill them indiscriminately, seeing that they could not be enemies, and also retreated.
The Chu army was well-trained, and as it was just now, while pursuing, it sorted out its team. Compared with the Pakistani warband, the Chu army is like a naval honor guard visiting Pakistan, and the Pakistani army is like a fleeing fishman.
The Chu army chased all the way, like a duck, only to see broken boats, wounded soldiers, and broken flags of the Ba people in the river and on both sides of the river, and the defeat of the Ba people was all over the place.
The Chu army chased to the mouth of the Danfu River in Pangu Lake, and killed two Ba armies, led by Yuhou Wu Baichang Ba Xin, Gong Clan pedestrian Gongxin, two people led the remnants of the two tribes, intercepted the Chu forward boat team, another battle, still invincible, while fighting and retreating.
The vanguard of the Chu army, the famous general Shen was so angry that he was about to chase after him, when the fast boat arrived and shouted: "General Yang Ming ordered to stop the pursuit!"
Shen Xiao had no choice but to order a pause and order him to lean on the beach on the south bank of the river.
Yang Ming's command boat arrived, and Shen Xiao's war boat met it.
Shen Xiao said in a questioning tone: "The Pakistani people are vulnerable, why did the general order to stop the pursuit?"
Yang Ming said: "The Ba people have also learned to use tactics with us, the general trend is retreating, or there is an ambush, we must carefully investigate." ”
Shen Xiao saw Yang Ming so meticulous, and said: "General, if you are so interrogative and delay the hour, haven't the Ba people run out long ago?"
"Of course there is truth to what you say. However, the Ba people are not afraid of death, and the faster they escape, the more they must be careful. "Yang Mingdao.
