Remember [Pen ♂ Fun → Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

More than half an hour later, the general Qu Shusun came to report: "I checked the Pangu Lake, and there were no ambushes of the Ba people. ”

Yang Ming ordered: "Go down the river, all suspicious places such as small river estuaries and near the location of the tribe must be carefully verified before marching into the army!"

Yang Ming also ordered Qu Rong, who was behind, to arrange an army to be stationed at the mouth of Pangu Lake to prevent the Ba people from ambushing in Pangu Lake, but he did not find it.

Yang Ming saw that the mountain shape of the Flag Mountain on the north bank of the river was strange, and it could ambush the soldiers, so that people could check it.

After waiting for about half an hour, someone came to report that there was no ambush in Jianglingqishan and other places, and Yang Ming made a gesture to move forward and beat the drums.

Along the way, the defeated soldiers, broken boats, and rattan armor that came with the flowing water can be seen everywhere.

The most pitiful thing is that there are a number of war boats, tilted and leaking, and the Ba people on it have to abandon the boat and float in the water, while some swim ashore and run on the beach, scolding the mother of the Chu people.

Zhuang Fu, the deputy marshal of the Chu army, was on the command boat, carefully observing all the way, and said to Yang Ming: "The Ba people are so unbearable, could it be a trick to lure the enemy?"

Yang Ming, the commander of the Chu Legion, once again ordered to slow down the pursuit.

Shen Xiao, the forward of the Chu army, saw that the coach Yang Ming was hesitating again, and took a small fast boat with the deputy striker and the famous general Dou Ying to see Yang Ming - Fighting Eagle's martial arts are higher than Shen Xiao, and Yang Ming likes it more, but its strength is land warfare, and water warfare is not as good as Shen Xiao, so Yang Ming made him Shen Xiao's temporary deputy general. Later generations have an evaluation of this matter: Cultivate and employ people, and use their strengths.

Shen Xiao and Dou Ying were pulled onto the command boat that was still moving forward, and before they could give a salute, Shen Xiao said: "This time, our army has broken up with the three major tribes of the Keba people, and the Ba people. In particular, our army set out from Xiaoguan, all the way like a bamboo, successively broke through the three fortresses of Shicheng, Tingziguan, and Yucheng, and saw that everyone in Pakistan was in danger, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and they were defeated like a mountain. On the occasion of the decisive battle, I am most afraid of hesitation, two generals, why hesitate?"

The coach Yang Ming thought hard.

Zhuang replied: "Don't worry. ”

Shen Xiao said: "Life is decades, there is this golden opportunity, if you don't take advantage of the victory to take the southeast and Padang region, when will you wait?"

Shen Xiao's words, when it came to Yang Ming's heart, he knew that the time and opportunity for himself were running out, so he thought about it and asked Douying: "What is your opinion?"

"According to the general, if you don't catch up, no one can tell what happened to the Ba people. The strength of the armies of Chu and Pakistan is the lice on the leprosy brain, which is clearly displayed. Even if the Ba people have a small ambush, what is the way!" said Douying generously.

Yang Ming sighed: "It seems that I am really old, looking forward and looking backwards. Order the pursuit!"

Shen Xiao and Dou Ying were ordered to return immediately to carry it out.

The two generals left, and the deputy marshal Zhuang Fu was still a little worried, but he couldn't eat it himself, in case he lost the opportunity, it would also be a big hate, and said: "The general really wants to take the capital before he collects the troops?"

"In this battle, first of all, we must take the throat of the Danfu water - the gate of the gorge, so that we can be a husband and a man, and ten thousand people will not be opened. Otherwise, the Pakistani army can counterattack at any time and even regain the southeast of Pakistan. Of course, Badongnan is now the territory of our Chu State, and it should be changed. As long as the gate of the gorge is in the hands of our army, as for the capital, it is necessary to act at the opportunity, either urgently or slowly, and the initiative is all in the hands of our army. ”

Zhuang Fu nodded.

After noon, the army of Chu chased to the gate of the gorge, and Yang Ming asked people to go ashore to check the Dazhai of the Xiang clan, and reported that in addition to a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled people who could not run, the whole Dazhai was empty and chaotic, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks were running everywhere, and it seemed that they did not have time to drive away, and even the grain did not have time to move away.

Yang Ming laughed and said: "Ba people, you have broken your courage!"

After a short time, the Pakistani army and others entered the gate of the gorge against the current and came to challenge again. The two armies fought, and the Pakistani army was again defeated.

The Chu army chased through the gate of the gorge.

Deputy Marshal Zhuang saw the gate of the gorge again, with cliffs on both sides, locking the river, and persuaded Yang Mingdao: "The water surface here is long and narrow, and the mountains are high on both sides, if there is an ambush, there is no way to advance or retreat." ”

Yang Ming asked people to search on both sides of the strait, and there was no ambush in return, and they chased quickly.

The Chu army chased out several miles of waterway, and suddenly the mountains rolled wood and rocks, as if falling from the sky, killing and injuring many Chu soldiers, and dozens of military boats were damaged.

Yang Ming hurriedly took refuge at the bottom of the cliffs on both sides, or in the middle of the Danfu current, because most of the stones rolling down from the cliffs on both sides could not reach the center of the river.

The stones and timber of the Ba people ran out, the mountain was quiet, and Yang Ming smiled: "I understand, this is the ambush of the Ba people!"

Just as he was about to continue the pursuit, Jing Ling, the overseer in the rear army, sent Kuaizhou to remind Yang Ming to be cautious and avoid being ambushed.

Yang Ming ordered to search both sides of the strait again, but still no ambush was found, and ordered to pursue at full speed until the capital of the orange.

The whole army of the Chu army crossed the gate of the gorge, the water surface widened, and the Chu army saw that the war boats of the Pakistani army were in a place where the water was gentle, and the war boats that were in chaos and chaos along the way were concentrated in one place and placed in front of them in the time when Yang Ming hesitated.

Deputy Marshal Zhuang replied: "This frame is like a Ba person." ”

Yang Ming smiled: "It's exactly what I want, if he continues to run, I'll really be confused." ”

Yang Ming ordered: The Chu army was in Shangshui, suspended rowing, and used the speed of the water to slowly advance towards the Ba people - his intention was to prepare and use the benefits of Shangshui to make the final blow to the Ba people.

The distance between the two armies is still four or five miles.

At this time, the military boats of the people on the opposite side separated, and a neat boat division behind them drove up from the bend, and it was black and oppressive.

This Pakistani army is the reinforcement that came from the Bashu battlefield. On the first gorgeous boat, a very special and conspicuous flag of the White Tiger God is hung high.

This banner is exclusively for the lord of Pakistan, and it is needless to say that it is the banner of the general of Pakistan and the grandson of Ba Rui.

Yang Ming, the commander of the Chu army, was shocked and said: "How can the king of Ba Guojun be here? Is this a posture that all the warriors of the whole country of Pakistan are here?" -- Due to the special topographical conditions and limited number of people in Pakistan, the Pakistani army does not strictly distinguish between water divisions and land divisions, and many samurai go into the water as water divisions and go ashore as land divisions.

Zhuang Fu, the deputy marshal of the same boat, also exclaimed: "It turns out that the Pakistani people retreated to wait for reinforcements to arrive. The letter from the spies said that the Ba master was seriously ill and could not even collapse, could it be that he had used a trick and quietly came here to recruit in person! General, the last general suddenly thought: Could it be that the people of Shu have turned against the water, but we have been kept in the dark?"

"I guess it's as you say. Opposite us is no longer the defeated army of Pakistan, but the entire country of Pakistan, and even, it may be the Bashu coalition army. "Yang Mingdao.

Zhuang Fu said: "We need to make a quick decision. ”

Yang Ming has been fighting for many years, and he quickly calmed down and said: "At this moment, it is the resurrection of the Bawu Prime Minister, and the White Tiger God descends to earth, and I can only meet for a while!"

The two armies fought against each other, and the cowards were defeated first, and Yang Ming ordered the boat to advance.

Yang Ming visually observed that his war boat was nearly 180 steps away from the war boat of the lord of Pakistan who hung the White Tiger Divine Flag, and said to Zhuang Fu: "General Zhuang, you can see me shoot his White Tiger Divine Flag!"

Yang Ming took a bow and arrow, and an arrow hit the white tiger flag on the boat of Ba Ruihua, the grandson of Pakistan, and the flag was hung diagonally half down at once.

The Chu army cheered and cheered!

Zhuang Fu congratulated: "The general deserves to be the first archer in the world!"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's a pity that the flag pole is too thick, and the arrow is difficult to break." ”

The two armies were closer to each other, and Yang Ming ordered the first release of crossbow arrows, and the Pakistanis did not show weakness and returned the arrows with arrows.

The arrows were like flying locusts, some of them landed on the opponent's warboats, and some landed on the water between the two armies.

After the bow and arrow were fired, the two armies fought, the shouts shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

At this time, Pakistan was almost three-fifths of the country's troops, which was basically equal to the strength of this Chu army, and it was evenly matched.

Flesh and blood flying, the sky is dark!

From the time the battle passed a little after noon to the time when the sun was about to set, both sides reached the limit, and the "critical value" of victory and defeat transformation appeared.

At this time, a fast boat flew to report to Yang Ming, the commander of the Chu army: "General: The demon soldiers in the back are coming down the river to kill! Except for the two demon women in the lead, who are extremely beautiful and seductive, the rest of the male and female banshees, all dressed strangely, fierce and vicious!"

Needless to say, this "demon soldier" is the main Pan Furong of Sanmiao Village, Pan Ruilian led the female soldiers and Zheng Rong, Xiangzhen The two generals are combined, and the appearance of the demon soldiers of the python king salt dragon is similar, it is difficult to argue whether it is true or false.

Yang Ming couldn't believe it, and said, "Monsters, what monsters?"

"It's just that a group of monsters have been killed, and when they see our army, they will kill them, and they can't resist it!" added the visitor.

Yang Ming said to himself: "Could it be that it came out of the bottom of the river?" His original intention was to find out so carefully, where did this ambushed Ba people come from?

A person on the boat said in horror: "People are saying that there were monsters in Pangu Lake last year, could it be that those monsters came to help the Ba people?"

This statement is even more frightening.

Yang Ming shouted: "Nonsense! I expect to be blind and pretending to be a ghost!"

Regardless of whether this army is a ghost or a human, a demon or a god, it is true that the Ba people came to reinforcements, and it is true that they were ambushed, and the Chu army was shocked in the end.

The morale of the army has been chaotic, not only has no advantage of winning, but also at the critical moment when the whole army will be wiped out if he is not careful, Deputy Marshal Zhuang Fu suggested that the troops should be withdrawn, and try to end in a draw or less losses.

Yang Ming still had many doubts, but he still agreed, and ordered Shen Xiao and Douying to break off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the commander gave the order to retreat, the soldiers of the Chu army, who did not know the truth, believed even more that it was the real demon soldiers coming, and suddenly became even more confused, and they only hated the boat and did not have long legs; many of them directly docked and abandoned the boat, and fled into the deep mountains and old forests.

The Pakistani army intercepted and killed up and down, and the Chu army was defeated, with tens of thousands of soldiers and 200 boats.

In this big battle, the ghost cried wolf. There is a limerick poem by the Baden disciple to remember:

Jin Ge is shining and drumming,

The banners are rolling and surging.

The wind is not as strong as the witch wind,

Gorge Gate Sen Sen Lock Male Male.

Afterwards, the Ba people regretted a little, if they buried heavy troops on the way back of the Chu army, the Chu army would be even more miserable. Of course, the main reason is the lack of troops, and the victory rate is less than 50%.

Later generations believe that the place where the Ba people ambushed the soldiers at that time is what is called "Wanying Cave" today.

Wanying Cave, commonly known as the Ten Thousand Cave, also known as the Yellow Cypress Cave, in the early years, the ancients built the village to avoid bandits, also known as the Yellow Tree Village. The cave was born on the south bank of the entrance of Wujiang Gorge, which is divided into Pengtai Cave, Bodhisattva Rock, Pan Taoyuan and other branch caves for many years, and is known as one of the four major karst caves in Wulong in the Wujiang River Basin together with Furong Cave, Guanyin Cave and Big Rock Cave.

It is also said that the descendants have dug up ancient weapons in this area along the river, including the weapons of the Chu State, which are suspected to be left behind by the great water battle at the gate of the gorge. Of course, it may also be later, because the Chu culture and Qin culture gradually entered this area.

In this water battle, the two sides invested a total of nearly 100,000 troops, which can be called the largest water battle in the lower reaches of the Wujiang River. Later researchers even believed that this war extended the survival of Pakistan, and if the Chu army successfully captured the eastern part of Pakistan at that time, Pakistan was likely to be destroyed by Qin after less than 45 years. At the same time, if the state of Chu occupied the entire territory of Ba and even the border of Shu during this period, the later situation in the world may not be the only one in Qin.

Of course, history cannot be assumed, and wild history cannot be assumed without any basis and without evidence.
