Chapter 440: Surprise Attack on Yingdu

"Shoot the arrows!"

In order to cover Gou Jian and the 800-strong death squad, the Wu army's warship shot round after round of arrow rain, like locusts crossing the border, straight to the water village.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

On the water village, the soldiers of the Chu army, who were already physically and mentally exhausted, had to raise their shields to block the enemy's arrow rain, but it was a pity that many unlucky Chu soldiers were shot by random arrows, and then died of anger and fell in a pool of blood.

After a long time of fighting, everyone was very tired physically and mentally.

The Chu army in Shuizhai only had a few thousand people, and it really couldn't withstand the continuous attack of the Wu army.

"Up!"

Gou Jian took the first step, holding a spear in his hand, and crawled on the ladder desperately, and the whole person was like a gecko, climbing up the pole.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

However, the soldiers of the Chu army on the water village immediately reacted and threw arrows or stones at the enemy who was climbing the ladder.

"Peng!"

"Ahh

Screams rang out one after another.

Even with the crossbowmen on the warship in charge of covering, the soldiers of the Chu army there still dared to come out and release cold arrows at the rushing enemy.

On the ladder, many soldiers of the death squad were pierced through the hearts by random arrows, or stoned to death by rolling logs and stones, and fell to the top of the warship.

However, in the face of the temptation of fame and fortune, they also became more violent.

They stepped on the corpses of the robes that had died in battle, and rushed towards the water village without fear of death.

Go ahead!

"Poof!"

"Humph!"

Gou Jian was shot in the arm by a random arrow, but he hadn't fallen yet, he just snorted, and his palm tightly grasped the cloud ladder, not daring to retreat.

Retreat, Gou Jian only has one death, forward, Gou Jian still has a glimmer of life!

Gou Jian has secretly sworn in his heart that he must successfully capture this water village, so that Qingji can take a good look!

"Kill!"

Gou Jian burst into a shout, and after one hand crawled on the battlement of the water village, a spear was the first to stab out, killing a Chu soldier.

Then Gou Jian's skills were very vigorous, and the whole person jumped up, pulled out the spear inserted in the enemy's corpse, one person and one spear, and began to kill all sides on the water village.

It's just that there are not just one or two enemies facing Gou Jian, but countless Chu army soldiers!

"Up! Kill him! ”

Seeing this, Chu General Shi Huang gritted his teeth and waved his sword, pointing at Gou Jian not far away and said loudly.

The soldiers of the Chu army present also held their spears and long ges, and rushed towards Gou Jian in a swarm.

Gou Jian was also ruthless, waving the spear in his hand as if he were at home, stabbing, sweeping, picking, and cracking...... Every movement looks clean and neat, and the moves are deadly.

After a while, more and more soldiers of the death squad also killed in the water village, and followed Gou Jian to kill a bloody road.

At this time, Gou Jian had already realized that the general of the Chu army was the middle-aged man not far away - Emperor Shi.

So Gou Jian immediately held the blood-stained spear, regardless of his own injuries, and fought towards Emperor Shi.

The nearby Chu soldiers all rushed over to block Gou Jian, but they couldn't stand Gou Jian, who was very brave, one person and one spear, killing them all over the place, and couldn't help but be afraid.

"Bell!"

Gou Jian finally killed in front of Emperor Shi.

Emperor Shi looked at the spear stabbed by Gou Jian, and in horror, he swung his sword to block, and then cracked the shaft of the spear with another sword, but Gou Jian's speed was faster.

Gou Jian directly clamped his bronze sword under his armpit, and then took out the severed spearhead, and with a "poof", it was inserted into Emperor Shi's heart.

Shi Huang's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

As the blood in his chest flowed profusely, Emperor Shi could only open his mouth wide in the end, and his head hung weakly on the ground, and he died of exhaustion.

"Kill!"

After killing Emperor Shi, Gou Jian captured one of the enemy's Changge and killed the enemy more bravely.

On the flagship outside the water village, Qingji couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he saw Gou Jian's fearless appearance.

Goujian, the king of Yue in history, is only a careerist, a generation of heroes with a deep city.

It's just that Qingji didn't expect that Gou Jian also had such a fierce and brave side.

This was probably forced out by Qingji.

……

After breaking through the water village, Qingji did not order the army to continue through Yunmengze and march towards Yingdu, but let the army rest for a while.

Night falls.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qing Ji summoned his four confidant ministers, the great Sima Sun Wu, the imperial historian Wu Zixu, the Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, and the court lieutenant Bo Gang to discuss the matter.

Qingji took out a sheepskin map, placed it on the table, pointed to Yun Mengze's coordinates, and said earnestly: "The sentry horse came to report that the Chu army has built a number of water villages in various waterways of Yunmengze. ”

"The second and third sons think that the Chu people are going to fight a protracted war with our coalition army?"

Hearing this, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others couldn't help but look at each other.

Fan Li frowned first, and said in a deep voice: "King, the minister thinks that Shen Zhuliang is a generation of famous generals, and it is impossible not to see that the protracted war is not the shortcoming of our coalition army, but the disadvantage of the Bichu army. ”

"Before Mi Sheng led the army to evacuate Yingdu, he burned a large amount of fine and soft grain in the treasury, which shows that the Chu people must be short of food and cannot continue."

"I don't know how long the Chu people can support, but Shen Zhuliang chose to fight a protracted war with our coalition army, which is too stupid."

Including Qingji, everyone present couldn't help but bow their heads slightly and express their approval.

As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first.

In war, the army's logistical support work is extremely important.

After all, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

It is an astronomical amount for people in the army to eat horses every day.

In order to fight this battle, Wu Guo has been preparing for half a year, and there is everything in the grain and straw, which is enough for the coalition to support more than half a year!

Therefore, in a protracted war, the coalition of princes led by Wu was not afraid of the Chu army at all.

So, why did Shen Zhuliang choose such a tactic?

Qingji secretly thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "The Chu people want to fight a protracted war, and the few are not afraid. ”

"However, the Chu army has built a number of camps in various waterways to block our coalition army, and I am afraid that after a long time, the soldiers will be tired. If it is the same today, every time we conquer a water village, our army will pay the price of thousands of casualties, which is really inappropriate. ”

"Soldiers, treacherous. You should win by surprise, not be led by the enemy by the nose! ”

"The intention of the widow is to divide the troops and attack Yingdu by surprise, and smash the Yellow Dragon directly, so as to break the main force of the Chu army."

"If the Yingdu is broken, then Yun Mengze's Chu army will also become a lost dog, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Qingji pointed to the location of "Han Shui" on the sheepskin map, and said in a deep voice: "The widow wants to choose a strong team, pass through the water of the Chu State, go straight to the Han River, and go deep into the hinterland of Chu Yongshui. ”

"In this way, in a few days, this strong team will be able to advance to the east bank of the Han River and reach the city of Yingdu."
