Yun Mengze was still engaged in a fierce battle, and at the same time, Sun Wu led 5,000 elite armor to the north to Yongxi, taking a small road and crossing the Han River.

On the way, all the Chu people he encountered were ordered to be killed by Sun Wu......

Sun Wu had no choice, this time he was running thousands of miles, and Sun Wu's troops and horses not only had to be expensive and fast, but also had to be unaware.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth!

Sun Wu is not only responsible for himself and the soldiers under his command, but also responsible for the tasks given by Qingji.

"Da Sima, this is Hanshui."

On the edge of the Han River, a junior colonel pointed to the turbulent river and said to Sun Wu, who was standing on one side.

They had no horses, no chariots, no ships, and they were exhausted physically and mentally exhausted by only a pair of legs to prepare ten days' worth of dry food, and wore heavy armor for a long journey.

Sun Wu looked at the turbulent Hanshui River in front of him, the river is bottomless, it is estimated that it can drown people, the two banks are facing each other for dozens of meters, it is not easy to swim over, but it is not impossible.

Because the five thousand elite armor led by Sun Wu are all from the land of Wuyue, not to mention that they can fight habitually, because they grow in a place with a dense water network, they are familiar with water, and they are all strong swimmers.

"Da Sima, what should I do now? The Han River is turbulent, and it is not easy to set foot without boats, so why not rest on the spot and take the dense forest here to build a raft to cross the Han River? ”

Hearing this, Sun Wu secretly thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

"The dry food carried by our army is limited, so we can't delay it for too long, and the longer it drags on, it will inevitably not be detected by the sentry cavalry of the Chu people."

"The soldiers are fast, the purpose of our army is to surprise the Yingdu, even if we can't take the Yingdu, we must occupy the nearby cities to supply and defend."

From beginning to end, Sun Wu never forgot what he should do.

If they can really surprise Yingdu, it is best to go down to Yingdu in a battle, if not, they will also capture a nearby city to replenish supplies, and by the way, mediate with the Chu army to reduce the pressure on the front line.

Sun Wu looked around, finally took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Pass my order!" The whole army up and down, take off the armor, take only what you need, and cross the river lightly! ”

"No!"

At the critical moment, Sun Wu showed a fearless spirit.

Sun Wu took the lead, first took off his battle helmet, removed the black armor on his body, and tied the bronze sword and spear around his waist to avoid being left behind.

The soldiers of the Wu army behind him also followed suit, taking off their armor one after another, and only brought some necessities such as dry food and weapons.

Their eyes all revealed a look of death.

"Da Sima, no!"

The generals around him hurriedly said, "How can Da Sima be in danger? As far as the last general knows, although there is no bridge on the Hanshui River nearby, there is a ferry, so why not grab a boat and let Da Sima take the first step......"

"Shut up!"

Sun Wu glared and said, "How can this general be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Although I was born as a Qi person, I have lived in Wu for a long time, and the water nature is not ordinarily good! ”

"Needless to say!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Wu was the first to jump into the turbulent Hanshui River and swim in the direction of the opposite bank.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind him were also greatly encouraged, and they followed behind Sun Wu, one by one, rushing into the water and swimming to the west bank of the Han River.

Sun Wu himself was almost swept away by the turbulent river several times, but fortunately, the soldiers around him were quick and quickly blocked Sun Wu's body from being washed down.

The 5,000 soldiers of the Wu army also fought bravely to be the first and swam towards the opposite shore of the Han River.

However, although they have good water quality, there are also some people who are swept away by the river, and most of them are drowning!

"The Evil God"

Sun Wu also knew that his approach was very risky, but he had no choice.

Either he won't fight this battle, or if he wants to fight, he must fight beautifully!

Five thousand sharp soldiers had to pass through the fast-flowing Hanshui River, and they also paid the price of the lives of dozens of soldiers.

On the east bank of the Han River, the armor of 5,000 soldiers and the red flag are neatly placed, which is the battle flag of the Wu army!

……

The capital of Chu State, Ying.

In the palace of the king of Chu.

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, was having dinner with his mother, Meng Huan.

Compared with the big fish and meat in the past, bear's paw abalone and other delicacies, Xiongzhen's current food can be said to be more than a little bit worse.

This made Xiong Zhen taste like chewing wax, but he could only endure it temporarily.

Because the state of Chu at this time is a very different period, not as good as before.

The officers and men of the Chu army on the front line are fighting bloodily, and they cannot be allowed to fight the enemy hungry.

The reason why the Chu people fell into such a predicament was, on the one hand, because of the trade war that Wu had launched against Chu before.

On the one hand, it is because when Bai Gongsheng left Yingdu, he did not forget to burn down the treasury of Yingdu, and burned most of the grain and straw that he couldn't take away!

This made Xiong Zhen hate Bai Gongsheng very much!

"King! King! Big things are not good! ”

At this time, Zixi, who had become the commander of the Chu State, hurriedly entered the palace and made a loud noise.

"Ling Yin, what's the alarm?"

Xiong Zhen couldn't help but jump his eyelids and asked, staring.

In the past six months, the state of Chu has suffered too many disasters, which has made the king of Chu Xiong Zhen almost numb!

Zixi hurriedly said: "Great King, Shicaichen received a notice from the sentinel that someone was on the edge of the Han River and saw a large number of Wu troops appearing, and they were rushing towards Yingdu City!" ”

"What?"

Xiong Zhen was frightened, stood up and said in surprise: "How many men and horses are there in the Wu army?" How far is it from Yingdu? ”

Actually, Xiong Zhen can probably guess it himself.

From Hanshui to Yingdu City, it is only fifty miles, if you march in a hurry, in less than half a day, you can drive straight in, and the soldiers will come to Yingdu City!

"King, no matter how many men and horses the Wu army has, the top priority is to close the city gate and block the enemy from entering the city!"

"Good!"

Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, hurriedly said: "Zixi, this matter will be fully entrusted to you!" ”

"Obey the king!"

Zixi hurriedly agreed.

At this time, in Yingdu City, there were very few soldiers who could fight.

The only one who has the strength to fight is the forbidden army of the Chu Palace, but there are only a thousand people, and the rest are old and weak soldiers.

Even the men in Yingdu City, as old as fifty-five and as young as fourteen, were all transferred to the front line of Yunmengze to play with the main force of the coalition army.

At this time, if there is a strange army to kill Yingdu, it will be difficult for Yingdu to be saved.

However, this time the Wu army was a long-distance attack, and it must not have any siege equipment.

As long as the city gate of Yingdu is closed, and some troops are sent to monitor, or some old people and young people, or even sturdy women are sent to the city gate to help in the battle, there must be no problem.

However, the unexpected happened again!
