The time entered the twenty-sixth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 488 BC, the tenth lunar month.

After the Hufu cavalry shooting, the cavalry combat power of the Wu State was significantly improved, and finally attacked Yiqurong.

Wu Guobing was divided into three routes, sending troops from three directions: Wuyang, Yongyang, and Jingyang.

The 60,000 foot cavalry of the East Route Army, led by Wu Wang Qingji, set off from Jingyang.

The 60,000 foot cavalry of the Middle Route Army, led by the national lieutenant Sun Wutong, set off from the Yong and Qishan lines.

The 60,000 cavalry of the Western Route Army, led by the great Sima Wu Zixu, set off from Wuyang.

The Wu army, which had a full 180,000 men, braved the snow and marched in the ice and snow, but it was invincible all the way, and there was almost no decent resistance.

Xirong countries such as Quyan, Kunyi, Mianzhu, and Wushi also sent troops to help in the war, about 100,000 horses, to join forces with the Wu army in Yiqu Wangcheng.

This kind of powerful offensive is far from being able to resist the people of Yiqu.

Yiqu Mo was frightened and did not dare to confront the iron cavalry of the Wu army head-on, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the Yiqu royal city and led two or three hundred thousand clansmen to flee to the north.

……

Jingshui line.

The wind was bitter, the frost was biting, and the snow was falling from the sky, leaving a lot of snow flakes on everyone's faces, heads, and shoulders.

"Boom!"

The sound of horses' hooves was chaotic, and on the white snow, there was already a large number of black heads.

"Phew—"

Wearing a stubborn and stubborn Qingji, he sat on the back of the horse and strangled the reins of the war horse.

As soon as he raised his hand, the iron cavalry following behind him all stopped their march.

It can be described as an order and a ban.

"Newspaper—"

At this moment, a small colonel braved the cold wind and fine snow, galloped to Qingji, and said loudly: "King, the people of Yiqu have withdrawn from the Yiqu King City and fled to the north!" ”

"Chase!"

"No!"

Qingji couldn't help frowning.

At this time, it may be too late to pursue the Yiqu people.

However, Yiqumo escaped with so many clansmen, can he escape?

"Heifu!"

"The minister is here!"

"You lead the infantry army, continue to march, and the widow personally leads 10,000 iron cavalry to pursue the Yiqu people!"

"King!"

When Heifu heard this, he suddenly changed color, and hurriedly admonished: "The king, you are the king of a country, with a body of ten thousand gold, how can you risk your life?" ”

"This errand to pursue the Yiqu people, let's leave it to the minister!"

"The minister must capture and kill Yiqumo and dedicate it to the king!"

Qingji shook his head and said, "The Yiqu people are already at the end of the crossbow. Even if he has an ambush, he may kill a widow and return a horse gun, is it possible that the iron horsemen under the widow's tent are all vegetarians? ”

"Needless to say!"

"Drive!"

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times!

This kind of battlefield atmosphere made Qingji gush with his blood.

Is he leading his troops into battle like this, taking risks?

No, actually, not dangerous.

Not to mention that Qingji has extraordinary bravery, with the 10,000 iron horsemen of Wu State, it is not a problem to crisscross the entire grassland.

At the same time, Sun Wu had already led his troops to the Yiqu Wangcheng.

According to the original plan, Sun Wu would be here, joining forces with Qingji and the Xirong coalition army.

However, Sun Wu saw the chaos in the royal city and realized that the time was ripe for the Wu army to break the enemy in one battle.

Just as Wu Guojunchen had guessed before, winter has arrived, and the cattle and sheep on the grassland are starving to death.

It is true that the Yiqu people have hoarded a lot of forage, but they still can't meet the needs of so many animals.

Therefore, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Wu army, the Yiqu people did not even have the idea of resisting, and decisively gave up Wangcheng and ran away.

Can Sun Wu allow the Yiqu people to escape like this?

"Gou Jian, Sun Di."

"The last general!"

"The two of you are responsible for leading the foot soldiers and staying in the Yiqu Royal City. 10,000 iron horsemen, follow me all the way north, chasing the fleeing Yiqu people! ”

"This ......"

Gou Jian and Sun Di frowned, and they didn't dare to receive the order.

Gou Jian said in a low voice: "Wu Anjun, the king's order is to let me stay in this Yiqu King City and learn here." Wu Anjun wanted to lead the cavalry to pursue the Yiqu people, wouldn't it be disobeying the king's orders? ”

Disobeying the king's order, once Qingji is investigated, Sun Wu will not be able to escape the responsibility at that time, and he may be executed.

However, now, where can Sun Wu take care of so much?

"Hurry up with power."

Sun Wu shook his head and said, "Plans are dead, people are alive. ”

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The Yiqu people drag their families and mouths, and they must not be able to run far. ”

"If the old man lets go of the main force of the Yiqu people, they will inevitably make a comeback in the spring of next year."

"At that time, all the efforts made by my Wu Kingdom before will be useless."

"The Yiqu people will become the henchmen of Dawu."

"Wouldn't I, Sun Wu, become a sinner in the Wu Kingdom?"

After a pause, Sun Wu said meaningfully: "If the king wants to ask for the guilt and blame, the blame is all the old man's. The old man must not let go of the main force of the Yiqu people! ”

"No!"

Seeing that Sun Wu had made up his mind, Gou Jian and Sun Di agreed to come down.

The soldiers are fast, and Sun Wu knows this well.

Yiqu has a population of hundreds of thousands, and now all the living forces have been taken away by Yiqumo.

If Wu State can't eliminate the main force of the Yiqu people and let them leave, it will definitely be Wu State who will be unlucky at that time.

In view of this, in order to serve his king, Sun Wu had to disobey the king's order and lead 10,000 iron cavalry in pursuit.

……

The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north.

The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost!

Sun Wu led 10,000 iron cavalry, braving the severe cold and heavy snow, and chased in the direction of the Yiqu people's escape.

Sun Wu's beard was already frosty, and his body was covered with ice and snow, and the chill was gusting.

However, in such a situation, Sun Wu still maintained a scrappy attitude.

You must know that Sun Wu is over fifty years old at this time, but he is still majestic!

Such a long-distance run, and in the ice and snow, is a test of a person's physical fitness, which can be imagined.

"Phew—"

Sun Wu grabbed the reins of the war horse under his crotch, looked at the somewhat tired iron cavalry, spun around in place twice, then smiled, and said loudly: "Sons, do you know why the old man's war horse under the crotch has not stopped advancing?" ”

"I don't know."

"Hahahaha! It's about merit! ”

Sun Wu waved his hand, shook the horsewhip in his hand, and laughed out loud very heroically: "The time has come for me to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"The people of Yiqu are staying in the Iron Mountain camp! It's more than 400 miles away! ”

"In two days at most, our army will rush to Tieshan, capture and kill Yiqu Mo, and destroy the main force of the Yiqu people!"

"If you are afraid, if you are afraid of retreating, or if you can't keep up, you can stay where you are, or turn back!"

"I, Sun Wu, will never be held accountable for your escape!"

"Wu Anjun ......"
