"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

Under the nest city.

The flag covers the sky, and the spear is like a forest!

Tens of thousands of officers and men of the Wu army formed several phalanxes and waved their flags and shouted.

The phalanx of the Wu army was very neat, and at the front was a shield array lined up in a line.

Everyone holds a rectangular bronze shield, the inside is wooden, the outside is bronze, and the shield is engraved with a gluttonous pattern, which looks very hideous and terrifying.

Behind the shield array, there is the neighing of horses, one after another chariots are displayed there, the soldiers on the chariots are stubborn and stubborn, looking ahead, one holding a halberd, one holding a bow, and one carrying a chariot, each performing his duties.

Behind the chariot group, there is a warrior of the Wu army holding a round shield in one hand and a broadsword in the other.

They were all dressed in light armor and wore crimson cloth bands on their heads, and they were murderous.

The Chinese army is a distinctive banner.

The red and black shading, a big bird with a fiery red color is embroidered in the middle of the flag, and there is also a striking "Wu" character around!

Looking at its regulations, you can know that it is the banner of the army, and then look at the fire phoenix, people of insight can recognize that this is the exclusive banner of King Wu.

e

Wang Qi!

At this moment, Qingji was sitting in front of the phalanx, with a low table beside it, on which was placed a pot of hot water, three clay bowls, and a small pile of dried licorice.

Drinking honeysuckle in hot water is quite enjoyable for Qingji.

Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is called "licorice" in the country of Wu.

In the past, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and honeysuckle was one of them.

Qingji wants to drink tea, but it is a pity that tea has not been widely promoted at this time, and it only exists in the land of Bashu, and many places have not yet been planted, especially in the land of Wuyue.

If conditions permit, Qingji wants to vigorously promote and plant tea in Wu, which is a good way to get rich.

"Young uncle, come, drink!"

Qingji soaked two bowls of honeysuckle with his own hands, and handed over a bowl of Shi Fan Li who was standing next to him.

"Great King, Minister......"

"You're welcome."

Qingji smiled slightly and said: "This licorice is cold and sweet, and it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and dissolving stasis. In this cold weather, drinking some licorice water can still relieve fatigue and keep warm. ”

"Thank you, King!"

Fan Li sat aside and drank the bowl of licorice water that Qingji had rewarded.

"How does it taste?"

"Sweet. First bitter and then sweet, less bitter, light sweetness, with a fragrance, people have an endless aftertaste. ”

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly, took the bowl of honeysuckle water again, and drank it by himself.

This strange scene made the soldiers of the Chu army in Juchao City dumbfounded.

As a guard, Shen Zhuliang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, very puzzled.

"General, is King Wu Qingji despising me?"

"Please give the general an order, and the last general should lead 3,000 charioteers to fight the Wu army! Let the Wu people see the power of our Chu army! ”

The crowd was excited.

Qingji's attitude is obviously provoking the Chu army, and he didn't take the Chu army in his eyes!

However, Shen Zhuliang seemed very calm.

"Don't take it lightly."

Shen Zhuliang waved his hand and said, "If you have Qingji here, the city must be the main force of the Wu army." The enemy is outnumbered, Wu Manzi's morale is strong, and he can't be defeated! ”

"No!"

The generals of the Chu army could only hold back the anger in their hearts and obey Shen Zhuliang's military orders.

Before, Shen Zhuliang had predicted Qingji's prediction.

After learning that Wu's army had landed from Queyi, Shen Zhuliang knew that Qingji's target was Shudi.

However, Shen Zhuliang was clear about the thoughts of the feudal lords of Tongshu Land at both ends of the rat and towards Wu Duchu.

I'm afraid that before the Chu army has rushed to help, the feudal lords of Qunshu and Tongdi will all surrender to the wind, and the Chu army may be blocked by the Wu army on the way.

Shen Zhuliang guessed correctly, that was Qingji's intention.

After Shen Zhuliang knew Qingji's intentions, he decisively gave up rushing to help Shudi.

Turning passive into active, the Chu army was stationed in the four cities of Chang'an, Zhaoguan, Lugao, and Juchao, connecting them into a line and forming a corner of each other.

In this way, the Chu army will not be led by the nose by the Wu army and be too passive.

There are more than 30,000 Chu troops, and the places heavily defended are Juchao and Zhaoguan.

Because Shen Zhuliang knew very well that if the Wu army wanted to break this deadlock, Juchao and Zhaoguan were its breakthroughs!

Therefore, Shen Zhuliang personally led 10,000 people to garrison Juchaoyi, and the deputy general Shen Baoxu was stationed in Zhaoguan in case of accidents.

No matter where the Wu army attacked, Shen Zhuliang could ensure that the Chu army's grain route was continuous, and he resisted stubbornly and started a tug-of-war with the Wu army.

If the war is stalemate for half a year, the Wu army may not be able to hold out and retreat on its own.

This is Shen Zhuliang's plan.

It's a pity that he underestimated Qingji's strategy and Wu Guo's ability to gather intelligence!

After learning of Shen Zhuliang's strategic intentions, Qingji was immediately able to make effective countermeasures.

"King, at this time, General Wu Zixu is already attacking Zhaoguan?"

Glancing at the nest city in the distance, Fan Li said with a smile. UU reads books

"Calculating the time, Wu Zixu's troops and horses have indeed arrived at Zhaoguan. Although Zhaoguan is an important military town, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the widow predicts that within three days, Wu Zixu should also conquer Zhaoguan. ”

"The king is wise."

According to Qingji's deployment, he himself led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Juchao to confront Shen Zhuliang's Chu army.

The real main force of the Wu army is the 30,000 elite soldiers led by Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu's task was to conquer Zhaoguan, and then take the long shore to ensure that the grain and grass supply of the Wu army would not be cut off by the Chu army, and the grain route would not be harassed by the Chu people.

As for the land of Tongshu, it was inevitable to "bleed", providing the Wu army with enough cotton clothes, grain and grass, and the people who were responsible for logistics.

When the two armies of Wu and Chu confronted each other in Juchao, Wu Zixu had already led 30,000 Wu troops to launch a fierce attack on Zhaoguan.

"Knock knock!"

"Kill!"

The dull and slightly depressing sound of the cowhide war drum, accompanied by the shouting of killing that rose to the sky, resounded in the sky.

The sharp soldiers of the Wu army, who were not afraid of death, set up a ladder without fear of death, and under the cover of their own crossbowmen, they struggled to climb up to the city pass and meet the enemy in short combat.

After dozens of rounds of trebuchets, the rammed earth solidified city wall has already been smashed into thousands of holes, crumbling, and full of small holes with potholes.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Shen Baoxu, who was in charge of guarding the Zhao Pass, put on his helmet and armor, brandished the sword in his hand, and commanded the soldiers of the Chu army to repel the invading enemy.

"Whoosh!"

A burst of random arrows shot down, and the Wu soldiers, who were still climbing towards the city pass, were immediately shot into a hornet's nest and fell straight down the ladder.

Smashed into a patty!

Seeing the robe fall in front of him, the soldiers of the Wu army were very angry, with red eyes and spears, and rushed to Weng City in Zhaoguan one after another.
