Chapter 072: Criticism
The smell of gunsmoke filled the air.
After conquering a fort again, the Vietnamese army continued to clean up the battlefield, picking up weapons such as ge, spears, and swords scattered on the ground, and taking off their robes and armor from the enemy's body as their own trophies!
They are all countries in a remote corner, but Wu is much richer and stronger than Yue!
At least many of the non-commissioned officers of the Vietnamese army could not be equipped with a full set of armor!
Of course, it is not easy to create a pair of armor, not only in the Yue Kingdom, but also in countries such as the Wu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom, there is no guarantee that every soldier can wear armor!
At this moment, Yue Wang Yunchang, accompanied by Shi Mai, He Lu, Wu Zixu and others, got off the car, looked around, and saw that there were ruins everywhere, and corpses were all over the field.
Among them, most of them are naturally the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom!
"Boom!"
Just then, a military vehicle came galloping in.
A general got down from the military cart, and said with a look of shame on his face: "King, let that group of Wu troops escape again." ”
"We are not familiar with the local terrain, as soon as they hide in the dense forest, they will disappear completely, and the general will really not be able to pursue them!"
Hearing this, Yun Chang gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Aggrieved!"
Yun Chang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "The widow has fought dozens of battles in his life, and he has never fought such a humiliating battle!" Sun Wu, isn't this the nemesis of my Dayue Kingdom? ”
"The king must not grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige."
On the side, he said lightly: "Sun Wu, this is just a trapped beast. There are many of us, and Sun Wu's soldiers are outnumbered, even if one camp is captured one after another, what does it matter? ”
"Sun Wu can't afford it, but the Vietnamese army can't afford it!"
As soon as he heard this, Yun Chang's heart was slightly comforted, but he still couldn't help but hate and said: "Gong Wu, having said that, the widow really can't swallow this breath!" ”
"Every time a camp is captured, our Vietnamese army suffers hundreds of casualties, and the consumption is huge. The widow hated to break Sun Wu's body into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart! ”
“……”
He Lu and Wu Zixu glanced at each other, and they were both speechless.
In fact, long before Yun Chang waved his army to attack Wu, Wu Zixu had advised him to cross the sea with a boat, and then use the water network in the west of Wu to go all the way to Wudu.
It's a pity that Yun Chang didn't listen to Wu Zixu's advice!
If not, even if the Vietnamese army has not captured the capital of Wu, they have already arrived in the city, how can they still be in such a situation today?
Wu Zixu said in a deep voice: "King, Sun Wu has repeatedly built camps, with clear intentions, that is, to block the attack of our army and slow down the offensive. ”
"Now the two armies of Wu and Chu are fighting fiercely, and the victory is not divided, if the king can drive straight into the battle and break the Wu capital in a battle, then a big thing can be done."
"What is Wu Qing's plan?"
Yun Chang asked.
"Don't dare to do it. For today's plan, the king can only attack the camps built by the Wu army one by one, but one by one, the offensive is too slow. ”
"That's why the minister thinks that the king can divide his troops to break through the Wu army camp and strive to come to the Wu capital as soon as possible!"
"Good."
After Yun Chang heard Wu Zixu's words, he thought about it and thought that this was the best solution.
However, in order to arrive at the capital of Wu as soon as possible and destroy the state of Wu, Yun Chang will also dispatch domestic boat divisions to rush directly to the hinterland of Wu from the sea.
……
Night falls.
On the edge of a lake less than thirty miles from Tongcheng, a Chu military camp has risen from the ground.
After another day of arduous siege battles, the soldiers of the Chu army returned to the camp one after another, holding weapons in their arms, one by one like frosted eggplants, their faces were languishing, and they had no spirit!
At this time, it was November, and the weather was very cold.
A group of Chu soldiers had to sit on the edge of the fire and warm themselves by the fire.
A soldier who was blind in one eye and had a blood-stained red cloth couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone, how do you say this battle will be fought? Wu Manzi is like a turtle with a shrunken head, the turtle is cowering in the city and does not dare to come out. ”
"Our Chu army lacks siege equipment, and there are not many arrows left."
This ration is getting smaller and smaller day by day, which shows that the army is running out of food and grass. If it goes on like this, in my opinion, there is no need for Wu Jun to fight back, we will all starve to death ourselves! ”
"Who's to say it's not?"
A crude-faced soldier beside him echoed: "It's okay to storm Luzi City before, at least our Chu army has enough baggage, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking." Now that I can't even eat enough, how can I talk about fighting? ”
"Shhhh Be careful! ”
Another soldier said in a low voice: "Aren't you so criticizing the army's heart? This is a capital offense. ”
"What are you afraid of?"
The soldier snorted and said, "According to me, since this battle cannot be fought, why should it be fought again?" We just want to go back alive and die, and I will also die on the land of Chu. ”
Hearing this, the soldiers and soldiers of Chu present couldn't help but be silent for a while, and they agreed with this statement very much in their hearts.
If you are not forced to do so, who wants to bury your bones elsewhere?
Although the current war is inseparable, it seems that the Chu army is still the attacking side, but it is just a trapped beast fighting, and it is just a time to fight to see if there is an opportunity for reversal.
However, there is little hope!
In the dead of night, when the soldiers of the Chu army in the camp fell asleep, or really couldn't sleep and nap, suddenly a chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded from outside.
"Kill!"
A huge shout of killing rose into the sky, frightening the soldiers of the Chu army who were awakened.
They stood up and looked around, only to see that at some point, the soldiers who were originally in charge of standing guard on the arrow tower had already wiped their necks by the enemy and died of exhaustion.
Wu pawn, who quietly slipped into the Chu army camp, seemed to have killed the Chu soldiers guarding the camp gate and quickly opened the gate!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
This sudden change really caught the Chu soldiers off guard.
"Up!"
"Burn the grain and grass of Chu Manzi!"
With a loud rumbling sound, hundreds of military vehicles galloped into the camp of the Chu army.
After Meng Ben, who was standing on top of the military cart, shouted, he immediately swung his halberd to kill the group of enemies on the opposite side.
Their purpose is very clear, that is, to take advantage of their unpreparedness to burn the grain and grass of the Chu army in one fell swoop, and completely cut off the living resources of the Chu army!
"Huh!"
"Poof!"
The galloping chariot is like a wild horse that has escaped, all the way forward, and the Chu soldiers on the left and right sides have often been killed under the horse before they can react, blood is splashed, and they are desperate!
Meng Ben, who took the lead, was even more brave, all the way towards the warehouse where the Chu army placed grain and grass, and there was no enemy under him.
"Quick! Block them! ”
The awakened adjutant general Mi Ji hurriedly drew his sword out of the sheath and summoned the surrounding Chu soldiers to step forward to block it.
But, it's too late!
I saw that the Wu army soldiers who broke into the camp couldn't help but say, and when they saw the barns full of haystacks, they immediately threw away the torches in their hands!
Suddenly, a raging fire burned on the haystack, and a large amount of smoke rose into the sky, burning half of the dome red!
"Wu Manzi!"
"Quick! Send someone to put out the fire! ”
Seeing this, Mi Ji was so angry that he stomped his feet.
While he sent people to fetch water to fight the fire, he also had to resist the offensive of the Wu army, which was really exhausting!
