Volume 1 Queen Fanji Twenty-Nine Lightning Strikes
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, E Yufang looked back, and Zhao Bohu whispered: "Shizi, if there is a war tomorrow, you only need to do one thing." β
"What's the matter? The party will do its best to repay the results! β
Zhao Bohu gave him an instruction, and E Yufang had a look of surprise on his face, but he still nodded and walked in the direction of the abandoned mine------
Tonglu Mountain was sleepless all night, everyone's eyes were red, and the soldiers were waiting for it.
A simple Chinese military tent was set up in a hidden corner halfway up the mountainside, and people in the tent could have a panoramic view of the battlefield in the open area below the mountain. Two flag-bearers stood in front of the tent, ready to use the flag language to convey the orders of the Chinese army to the mountain. Next to the tent, a tall firewood pile has been erected, just light it, and the second battalion of the east and west at the foot of the mountain will attack at the same time when they see the fireworks.
It seems that everything is ready to stop, just waiting for the enemy to appear. Zhao Bohu sat down on the desk of the Chinese military account, closed his eyes and carefully sifted through the war plan in his mind to see if there was anything missing. Ji Hu stared at him very nervously, this child had never experienced such a tense and difficult moment, his little fists were clenched tightly, and his brows were furrowed as tightly as a tiger.
At this time, the Tonglu Mountain, whether it is on the mountain or the camp tent under the mountain, is quiet everywhere. It's the calm before the Great War breaks out, and it's suffocating------
The journey of the Chu army was half a day earlier than Fanzi's pre-push, and it was nearly noon, and the sky-high dust and the noise of chariots and horses raised in the south announced the arrival of Xiongqu, the king of Chu.
Xiong Qu squinted at the patina mountain not far away, and his greed and desire were undisguised in his eyes. Tonglu Mountain, the location of the largest copper mine in the Great Zhou, with it, the state of Chu will become a great power second to none, and it can be strong and the north refers to the Central Plains.
"Haha, Patina Mountain!" Xiong Qu excitedly pointed to the top of the copper green mountain with the halberd in his hand, and laughed non-stop: "It only takes half an hour, and it is the thing in the palm of the lonely king!" β
"The Great King is mightyβthe Great King is mightyβ" The shouts of the Chu army shook the earth.
In the depths of the trees of the Tonglu Mountain, Ji Duoyou and the soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands, nervously waiting for the sound of the drums of the march. At the foot of the mountain, the Chu army began to line up, and a burst of chariots and horses moved, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Zhao Bohu opened his eyes, his crystal eyes radiated a cold light, he picked up a sign on the desk and threw it out, shouting: "Attack!" β
The two flag-bearers waved the red flag in their hands, and the bare-chested drummer in front of the tent struggled to beat the cowhide drum, and suddenly the "rumbling" drum resounded through the copper green mountain. With the sound of this drum, countless chariots rushed out of the woods and bushes, and swooped down the mountain, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering.
E Yufang hurriedly rushed to the outside of the tent to look, turned his face again, his lips twitched twice, and finally he didn't say anything, and sat down again.
"What does the Son of the World say? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Zhao Bohu glanced at him.
E Yufang smiled awkwardly and arched his hand: "It's nothing." It's just that the old saying goes, 'no drums, no columns', seeing that the Chu army has not yet lined up, they swooped down like this, and I am afraid that in the future, we will say that we don't pay attention to war etiquette. β
"Rites?" Zhao Bohu smiled contemptuously: "Fighting is killing people, the place of death and life, what is the etiquette?" If you want to win, you must take advantage of their unstable foothold to give a life-supreme blow, either you die or I die, what is the courtesy? With such pedantic words, is it any wonder that he has to run away from this alone? β
E Yufang's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word. Zhao Bohu also felt that his words were serious, so he diverted the topic: "If the war is unfavorable, the son of the world must not forget what I entrusted me yesterday." After speaking, he glanced at Ji Hu.
"The master swears to live up to the king's trust."
The Chu army was busy camping, and according to Xiong Qu's plan, it was to surround the Tonglu Mountain and then attack upward. Whether it is cavalry or military vehicles, it is only suitable for fighting in the open area of the plains, and if it is attacked from the bottom up, it is extremely disadvantageous. Therefore, besieging Copper Green Mountain, cutting off its water supply, and waiting for an opportunity to attack is the least costly way to attack.
But Xiong Qu never expected that the other party would suddenly swoop down when his foothold was not stable, and he was really caught off guard. The ground under his feet was constantly shaking, and the speed at which the other party rushed down was extremely fast, and before the Chu army could react, the archers had not had time to assemble, and more than three hundred military vehicles had rushed to the front of the formation.
"Don't panic! Stand still! Xiong Qu immediately ordered the sergeants to prepare to meet the enemy.
"Ahh Look at the enemy's chariots, with long spikes mounted on the wheels on both sides, shining in a blinding brass light in the midday sun. It turned out that these were not ordinary military vehicles, but chariots equipped with spikes.
All of a sudden, the Chu army was in chaos, and countless Che You and the Imperial Warrior were pierced through the chest by the spears of the Zhou army before they could stand up. The cavalry was not much better, and they were hit by more than 300 military vehicles of the Zhou army, and they could not escape the copper thorns of the enemy's chariots. Rivers of blood flowed and corpses were strewn all over the field.
Xiong Qu's father and son have excellent martial arts, although the chariot has been destroyed, but they each grabbed the horses and even fought their way out of the encirclement.
"Father, the war is unfavorable, hurry up and Mingjin!" Xiong Kang said to his father.
"That's all there is to it."
Xiong Qu was about to give an order, when suddenly a drum sounded on the mountain, and a wisp of fireworks ignited halfway up the copper green mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the second battalion of the east and west suddenly opened the door, and the two teams of men and horses came out again, holding a "Shen" flag in the east, and holding the "right", "Luo" and "Fan" three-character flags in the west.
Seeing that almost half of the 30,000 horses he brought were lost, and now he actually killed two more people, Xiong Qu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God! Am I going to die at the foot of the Copper Green Mountain today? β
Xiong Qu crossed a heart, nothing more than died here today, he pulled out an arrow, pointed to the Chinese military tent on the mountainside, held his breath, an arrow was issued, and roared: "My father and son are buried here today, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one!" Kill! β
The arrow actually came straight to the tent of the Chinese army, and at this time all the generals were sent out, and only Zhao Bohu, Ji Hu and E Shizi were left in the tent. It was half a mile from the foot of the mountain to the Chinese army's tent, and no one could have imagined that this arrow could really be shot into the account, and it went straight to Zhao Bohu.
It's too late to defend it! Zhao Bohu pushed down the table in front of him and made a simple cover behind the board. I only heard a "beep", and the arrow was inserted straight into the board, at least four or five inches deep into the wood. Ji Hu climbed forward to pull out the arrow, but he used all his strength to feed, and the arrow still did not move. E Yufang also tried it, but he still couldn't move.
"Xiong Qu really has the ability to shoot stones without feathers, at first glance, I still don't believe it. Alas! It's a pity! is so brave that he is born rebellious! "It's a pity to summon Bohu to call out.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiongqu and his son were in a desperate situation, fighting for two hours, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left around them.
As soon as Shenhou stretched out his hand, he ordered a halt to the attack, and he rode forward, intending to persuade the king of Chu to surrender.
He drove forward and shouted to Xiong Qu: "Chuzi, you are in a desperate situation, don't you surrender?" β
"Hahaha------" Xiong Qu was already dismantled, his face was covered with blood, and the armor on his body was soaked with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own blood or the blood of others. His eyes were red, and his wild laughter was very hideous. At the end, he suppressed his wild laughter and asked, "Surrender?" Jokes, to whom to surrender? β
"The king has arrived, so naturally your Chu State surrendered to the Son of Heaven, went to the king, and went to Haojing to bind yourself and ask for guilt. The Son of Heaven is merciful, I wait for the princes of Jianghan to intercede for you, and we can keep your surname and ancestral worship endlessly, and your father and son have no worries about their lives. β
"Joke!" Xiong Hong's long sword in his hand pointed at Shenhou: "I'd rather die standing than die on our knees!" β
Xiong Kang seemed to have suffered an arrow wound in his leg, and he also stood up with difficulty at this time: "If you want us to surrender, it's impossible!" β
Xiong Qu looked at his two sons with a smile and turned to Shenhou: "You all heard it, right?" Didn't my ancestor of the Chu people follow the trend of the Zhou Dynasty and obey his words? But the result? King Wu didn't think of my surname at all, and it was easy for King Wen to seal my ancestor Xiong Yi a small viscount, just fifty miles from Danyang. In order to pay tribute to the king of Zhou, the Chu people did not hesitate to steal the cattle of neighboring countries, and the result? Like a servant slave, arrange to guard the sacrificial fire. Our people were heartbroken and no longer paid tribute to the dynasty, but King Zhao wanted to go south in person. The result? Hahaha, since then, I, the people of Chu, have understood that only by proving our strength with a sword can we force the Central Plains to face us.------ β
"As for going to the king." He plunged the halberd in his hand into the ground under his feet, and said word by word: "I am a barbarian, and I do not share the name with China." β
Shenhou was speechless, pointing at the father and son, his beard trembled uncontrollably: "Thinking of the water and soil of the communist party, I can persuade you with words, since you are so stubborn, then there is no need to be polite." β
Ji Duoyou couldn't hold it anymore for a long time, raised his hand and shouted: "Archers prepare!" β
More than a dozen archers bent their bows and arrows, one leg bent at the knee, ready to release their arrows. On the side of the Chu array, a group of warriors holding bamboo shields gathered beside Xiong Qu and protected the father and son of the King of Chu in the middle.
At this moment, the sound of "chirping" arrows was suddenly heard, and the arrows carried the sound of the wind, and the archers fell to the ground one after another. Looking into the distance, a team of people and horses waving the flag of "Chu" was galloping in this direction.
"Not good, they have reinforcements!" Ji Duoyou drew his sword and said to Shenhou: "It's too late to retreat, only rush forward and kill for a while!" β
This is the reinforcement of the Chu State Ling Yin, it turned out that Xiong Qu captured the Tonglu Mountain this time, and the troops were divided into two roads, and the men and horses were led by him personally to march directly from Echeng; On the other hand, 30,000 soldiers and 200 military vehicles led by Ling Yin Mizhao marched directly from Danyang. This back road was originally used for reception, but I didn't expect Xiong Qu to be delayed by the army, so he arrived at Tonglu Mountain with the front and back feet of the previous road.
