In the blink of an eye, the war in Jiangdong has also entered a white-hot level, since Xiang Zhuang returned to the palace of Chu with Kong Xiuyun, Wuzhu, who has always despised the Chu army, launched several attacks on Zhuji County, each time in vain, and then Wuzhu has Damo County as bait, trying to lure Ding Gu into battle, Ding Gu almost fell into the trick several times, but was stopped by Li Yan, and in the end, Wuzhu has never been able to step through Zhuji County half a step.

The defeat in Zhuji County made Wuzhu turn his target back to Damo County, he wanted to take Damo County first, kill Ding Gu's nephew Ding Hong, and then transfer Zhuji County, concentrate superior forces, and strive to break the defense of the Chu army in a battle and enter Chu.

It was also the successive onslaughts of the East Vietnamese army that made Damo County almost fall several times, Ding Hong and Junzi both joined forces, patrolling the city day and night, destroying houses as rolling wood and thunder stones, and burning gold juice to defend the city, so that Damo County had to be guarded for more than 20 days, at this time, there was still more than a week before Xiang Zhuang said a month.

And the land of Jiangdong has also reached the time of harvest, the grain is continuously transported to the Black Eagle Army camp in Zhuji County, the Black Eagle Army is the soldiers and horses under the command of Ding Gu, due to the tight situation in Zhuji County, Ding Gu transferred 20,000 troops from the North Battalion of the Black Eagle Army to reinforce the front line, at the same time, Xiang Zhuang issued a conscription order to Jiangdong to recruit a large number of young people to join the army, and transferred weapons from the weapons supervision to distribute soldiers, and strictly trained, in order to prepare for the vacancy of insufficient soldiers in the north in the future.

After that, Xiang Zhuang transferred 7,000 soldiers and horses from Wu County, and marched to Zhuji County along with conscription and materials.

A big war is about to begin.

To the south of Wusheng County, there are a large number of Dongyue troops stationed here, with a number of up to 100,000 people, and the Dongyue army at this time has a contempt for the Chu army that cannot be retracted, and they have forgotten the dream of attacking Chu State, and they are dragging it out day after day in Wusheng County, which is what Xiang Zhuang called to avoid its sharp edge.

In the camp of the East Vietnamese Army, Wu Zhu drank with Su Shao and others who came not long ago, although Damo County could not be attacked for a long time, but Wu Zhu did not blame Su Shao, besides, Wu Zhu never thought of attacking Da Mo from beginning to end, so he attacked Da Mo was just a strategy, wanting to lure Ding Gu to fight, but Ding Gu was like an iron heart to defend Zhuji County, and he didn't care about Damo County, which made Wu Zhu very helpless.

Everyone drank a lot of wine today, and the wine was drunk faster, and at this time he came to the center of the big tent slightly drunk, and said: "King, since we are attacking the end of the world, why don't we storm Zhuji County and defeat the Eastern Chu army in one fell swoop?" ”

After a pause, he shook and said: "My army is more than 100,000 people, if we stay here for a long time, it will consume food, and besides, the soldiers and soldiers will no longer have the edge of the year day after day. ”

Wu Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, looked at the donkey and said, "Who is Xiang Zhuang?" Womanizer, the three armies are stationed on the front line, he can actually bring women into the army, this kind of rat-eyed person is not to be feared, but Ding Gu, I used tricks to provoke him several times, he actually refused to send troops, and my so-called siege and reinforcements seem to be invalid in his hands. ”

When Wu Zhu said this, he glanced at the strategist Nado, and said unhappily: "You were the one who asked me to attack the black wound at the beginning, and now we are nested here, in a dilemma, you can tell me, what should we do?" ”

Seeing that Wuzhu was slightly blamed, he had to sigh lightly, and arched his hand: "King, during this time, the scouts I sent out returned to report, the number of the Chu army is increasing day by day, they continue to transfer troops to Zhuji County, but do not fight with us, I have a bad premonition, the Chu army seems to be going to attack our army, and please make a decision as soon as possible, or go east, make the last stop with the Chu army, and strive to take Zhuji County before winter, otherwise, the king might as well withdraw early, and when the defense of Eastern Chu is relaxed, we will not be too late to go north." ”

Hearing that Nado wanted to persuade himself to withdraw from the army, he was so angry that he slammed his wine glass to the ground and said angrily: "Is this king a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Don't mention the matter of retiring from the army in the future! ”

Wu Zhu angrily reprimanded Nado, which surprised Su Shao, he was half awake at this time, looking at Wu Zhu's face red from anger, Su Shao sighed: "What is the king going to do next?" ”

"What if there are more defenders in Zhuji County? Tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to attack the end of the day, and the end will be broken, so I will divide the troops and march forward, take the mountain road near Zhang County, and the main force will storm Zhuji County and take Zhuji County. ”

Wu Zhu laughed loudly for a while, and at this time, he looked at the people in the tent, and said categorically: "Go to sleep, and go to the end with me tomorrow." ”

And they all sang their promises and departed.

……

In the middle of the night, when the East Vietnamese army was drunk in sleep, a group of about 30,000 East Chu cavalry had quietly marched westward, and the first general, Ding Gu, who had held back his anger, endured for nearly a month, and the war was finally about to begin.

Due to the high night and wind, the road is difficult to travel, in order not to be discovered by the Eastern Yue Army rangers, the Eastern Chu Army did not light a torch, so the marching speed will be relatively slow, but tonight's moon is exceptionally bright, which also brings great convenience to the Eastern Chu Army.

Moreover, when Xiang Zhuang arrived at the Chu camp the day before yesterday, Ding Gu heard a news that the war in Hebei had gradually stabilized, Zang Di killed Han Guang and unified Yandi, Tian Rong killed Tian Shi and ascended the throne of the King of Qi, and now, the Eastern Chu State is facing a war with Dongyue, once the Dongyue army is defeated, Xiang Zhuang may transfer troops to the north at any time to participate in the battle for the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why Xiang Zhuang was in a hurry to end the war with East Vietnam.

Originally, Ding Gu thought that Xiang Zhuang would take the opportunity to smash the nest of Dongyue and completely eliminate the Dongyue army, but Xiang Zhuang told Ding Gu that it was difficult to level the land of Dongyue, at least, at present, the East Chu army has not yet completely recovered the ability of Dongyue.

Although Ding Gu didn't know much about Xiang Zhuang's true intentions and didn't know how he was going to fight this battle, Ding Gu knew that Xiang Zhuang had experienced a hundred battles and would definitely have an effective strategy to balance Dongyue.

Ding Gu was still pondering on the horse, and a personal soldier beside him whispered: "General, there are thirty miles ahead, and it is the military camp of the East Vietnamese Army, shouldn't we be ready to prepare?" ”

"Prepare what? When you get to the place, just kill me to death! Ding Gu glanced at his own soldiers, and then shouted behind him: "Speed up for me, and try to kill them before dawn." ”

Ding Gu's order has been issued, the speed of the East Chu army marched a few points faster, about half an hour, the East Chu army finally arrived at the place where the East Vietnamese army garrison, they chose a slope as the attack point, the army slowly gathered on the hillside, lined up horizontally, not far below, is the East Vietnamese army's camp, at this time the patrol post of the East Vietnamese army has been basically withdrawn, only a few soldiers and horses are still patrolling.

Looking at the endless battalion of the East Vietnamese Army, Ding Gu searched for a long time before he saw a faint handsome account not far away, he turned around and ordered: "Those who have no heads, the official is promoted to the marquis of a thousand households, brothers, kill it!" ”

Ding Gu gave an order, and the Eastern Chu army rushed down like a landslide and tsunami, and a group of cavalry raised their long swords and went straight to the camp of the East Vietnamese army.

The patrol soldiers of the East Vietnamese army camp also quickly discovered the East Chu army that tried to sneak attack the barracks, they hurriedly sounded the alarm, a group of patrol soldiers gathered at the door of the camp, drew the bow and built, and began to aim into the distance, the East Chu army had rushed to more than 100 steps away at this time, they took the round shield from the back, blocked it in front of the chest, and after the order to release the arrow sounded in the Dongyue army camp, the East Chu army also waved the round shield and began to resist.

Although there was a round shield to resist, there were still many people in the Eastern Chu army who were shot by feather arrows and fell off their horses, but soon, the vanguard of the Eastern Chu army rushed to the front of the camp gate, they turned over and dismounted, moved away from the giant deer regardless of the danger to their lives, and used the round shield against the gate of the wall, and pushed the gate of the wall alive.

The subsequent cavalry did not resist and went straight to Dazhai to kill, and the Dongyue soldiers who tried to come up to stop the Eastern Chu army fell to the ground and died in a burst of screams.

The drums and gongs of the East Vietnamese army became more and more dense and louder, and the East Vietnamese soldiers ran out of the tents naked, they did not have time to put on their clothes, and just rushed out of the tent, they encountered the cavalry of the Eastern Chu army, and were ruthlessly killed by the cavalry of the Eastern Chu army.

The soldiers of the Eastern Chu Army lit torches and threw them into the tent, and the tents were constantly lit, and after that, one by one, the burning men ran out of the tents, they roared, roared, and were finally burned to death.

The war had turned into a one-sided massacre, and the East Vietnamese army was suddenly attacked, and there was no ability to fight back, and many began to retreat, flee, and run wildly to the west.

And Ding Gu after discovering the handsome account, led more than a thousand horsemen to rampage, anyone who dared to stop himself, all killed, soon, he came to the East Vietnam Army's handsome account, here is Wuzhu's handsome account, but when Ding Gu rushed into the handsome account on horseback, he found that I don't know when, Wuzhu has run away.

Ding Gu did not hesitate at the moment, and after burning the commander's account with a fire, he ordered the army to kill the grain storage land of the East Vietnamese army.

Time gradually passed, the sky was white, the smoke of gunpowder in the camp of the East Yue Army was billowing out, the flames were soaring, most of the grain had been burned by the East Chu Army, and the King of Dongyue Wuzhu took advantage of the chaos to abscond, nearly two percent of the troops were killed in this night attack, one percent of the troops were captured, and only more than 70,000 people were able to escape with Wu Zhu.

Although it was attacked by a sneak attack, the East Vietnamese army did not give up because of this, Wu Zhu regrouped his troops in the early morning, led the army to retreat to the front line of the black wound, re-encamped with his back to the wound, collected the remnants, and transported the remaining grain and grass back to the camp, and then hurriedly returned to the Wusheng County Ya.

And the Eastern Chu Army, Ding Gu after the surprise attack on the East Yue Army, retreated thirty miles, set up a large camp in an open place, and hung the East Chu flag, at this time, the Eastern Chu Army and Wusheng County were only fifty miles apart.

Then on the third day, Xiang Zhuang's 50,000 troops arrived.

The next hour, a white dove flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and flew rapidly towards Shexian County to the north.
