Chapter 158: Swallow Chu (2)

King Chu and Qu Qing didn't look at these people again. A group of insects who can only fight for power and profit, who gave them the courage to think that they could lead the army to fight against Wu Qi, the world's number one military master?

There are also people who rush to give away heads.

Things have come to this point, counting on these people, the king of Chu might as well pray that Wu Qi will suddenly fall ill and die. The Hanyang Plain collapsed on all fronts, and even Yun Mengze couldn't stop the footsteps of Huaiguo.

If it weren't for the closure of the river by Chu, and the wooden stakes were dug into the bottom of the Hanshui River to block the Huai army, it is estimated that the Han level would have fallen faster.

For the northern countries, the Hanjiang Plain is full of lakes and swamps, which is not conducive to chariot warfare, but for the Huai Kingdom, which is also in a land with abundant water, this environment is equally familiar to them.

Moreover, after several restructurings, the number of combat vehicles in the Huai army was very small.

After seeing that those big nobles were still unwilling to hand over their respective military powers, the king of Chu immediately stopped reluctantly and appointed these people as the Sima of the Left Army to command the army.

said to be the commander of the army, in fact, it is the private soldiers of these big nobles, as well as some soldiers in Yingdu, these nobles have thousands of private soldiers, and there are hundreds of them, plus they have drawn tens of thousands of peasant soldiers, adding up to 100,000 troops. Prepare to defend with the help of Hanshui and the city.

The king of Chu asked these great nobles to lead the army, and then sent Qu Qing's son Qu Chang and Jing Mu's younger brother Jing Ming to the Nanyang Plain to take away the troops that were still loyal to the king of Chu.

The Nanyang Basin was also divided by the King of Chu to the nobles, and those nobles wished that the army of the King of Chu would leave quickly, so that they could occupy it.

After the king of Chu sealed those nobles and sealed Ling Yin and Sima of the left army, Qu Qing wrote to ask the king of Chu to move the capital.

"Your Majesty, the Huai State attacked Chu in order to destroy my Chu State, and now that the Huai State army has broken through the defense line of the Han River Plain, please move the capital to Jiangzhou City immediately."

Jiangzhou City was originally the capital of Ba State, and was later captured by Chu State, because its city is located in the mountains, also known as the mountain city. After the destruction of the country of Ba, the state of Chu occupied the land of the country of Ba, where the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, among which there are basins, the land is fertile, and rock salt is also produced.

If it weren't for the civil strife in the end, and with the help of Qin, it would not be easy to destroy Pakistan.

"Please give the king an order to summon the Nanyang Legion to escort you westward."

The king of Chu knew that it was now a critical juncture and could not hesitate any longer, so he immediately ordered the Chu family to move westward.

Qu Qing, the king of Chu, led the royal family and a large number of people to move westward, while Qu Chang and Jing Ming led the army to escort them. Fortunately, in the past few months, King Chu and Qu Qing have already transported a large number of materials to Jiangzhou City several times, and this time they don't need to bring too many supplies. But even so, the convoy of the King of Chu stretched for more than ten miles.

The number of people in the westward migration was huge, with nearly 200,000 people, and the population of the previous migrations exceeded 600,000 in Badi.

Just when the state of Chu moved westward, Wu Qi had already swept the Hanjiang Plain, and then began to advance towards Yingdu.

At the same time, the Three Jin and Qi also made moves, the Qi State stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border, but did not attack, and the Three Jin agreed to send troops to rescue Chu, and the army went south, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Chu State's troops, the Wei State directly took back all the land captured by the Chu State.

And South Korea also took this opportunity to sneak attack Zheng Guo. The so-called Three Jin Coalition Army had no intention of rescuing Chu at all, but took advantage of this opportunity to directly annex all the territories of the Central Plains of Chu State. And began to attack the Nanyang Basin in the south.

The state of Chu was originally defending against the attack of the Huai State, and regarded the Sanjin coalition army as an ally, but it did not expect the Sanjin to attack suddenly, and was caught off guard, and was directly taken down several cities by the Sanjin.

Originally, the state of Chu was defeated in successive battles, and its morale was low, so it waited for the Three Jin Coalition to come to support, but it turned out that the Three Jin Coalition Army actually took the opportunity to attack.

The original reinforcements became daggers piercing their hearts, which made the Nanyang Chu army completely lose hope and their morale collapsed.

On the other side, the Huai army, which went north to attack Nanyang, also attacked. The state of Chu was under the attack of the north and south of the army of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Huai State, and it could not resist it at all.

In just one month, the Nanyang Basin was divided between the Sanjin and Huai States. After the partition of the Nanyang Basin, the Huai State and the Sanjin coalition confronted each other, but no more major wars broke out.

After Huai State annexed half of the Nanyang Basin, it was very unhappy with the Three Jin Dynasty taking advantage of the fire to rob, but without a military order, Huai State did not attack.

The Sanjin Dynasty saw that the Huai State had almost destroyed the Chu State, and they did not dare to send troops to provoke, so the two sides confronted each other here in the Nanyang Basin.

The main goal of the Huai State was to destroy the Chu State, and it did not want to start a war with the Three Jin Dynasty at this time.

Wu Qi's army fought with the Chu army, and after learning that the Chu State had sent a few nobles who did not have much experience in leading troops as the main generals, Wu Qi immediately smiled and said: "These Chu nobles, when it comes to destruction, are unwilling to give up the struggle for power and profit, so how can they not lose the country?" ”

After speaking, he directly ordered: "Wu Zuo! ”

"The last general!" A young player stepped forward excitedly.

"You lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Chu army!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, this battle is only allowed to lose, not to win, if you win, not only will it be useless, but you will also be demoted three levels in a row!"

"Ahh Wu Zuo, who was still excited just now, was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Ah what, the military order is like a mountain, take the order!"

Wu Zuo's face was ugly, and after receiving the general's order, he led the army to battle.

The 5,000-strong army attacked the Chu army, and then after half an hour of fighting, the Huai army pretended to be invincible and retreated in embarrassment. Several Chu nobles who led the troops for the first time were overjoyed when they saw the defeat of the Huai army.

"Wu Qi is nothing more than that!" A few people said proudly.

"That Meng Zhuo relied on the defense line of the Han River Plain, and the army of more than 100,000 was defeated miserably, he was really a vain person, he should not have been recommended as a general in the first place!"

"That's right, if we were a general at that time, how could Wu Qi go straight to this Han River?"

After Wu Qi was defeated in Wu Zuo, he led his army to retreat for thirty miles, and then held out, and the generals of Chu saw the retreat of Huai and immediately led a large army to pursue.

Seeing that the main general was about to lead the army in pursuit, several generals around him hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"General, this is Huaiguo's plan to lure the enemy, this battle will definitely be a deception, we will pursue it rashly, and we will inevitably be treacherous in Huaiguo!"

"Nonsense, Huaiguo has been defeated, this is the time to pursue, you won't be frightened by the Huaiguo people!"

It's just that a few big nobles didn't listen at all and forcibly ordered the army to pursue.

After seeing that the army of Chu really came, several generals of Huai were also surprised. Doesn't this Chu State Lord know that he should send scouts to search first, and then pursue after it is safe?

Seeing that the generals of the State of Chu were so clumsy and the army was rushing forward, how could Wu Qi be polite and directly order the ambush troops to go out and wipe out the army of the State of Chu.

Then the army drove straight in, and broke the capital in a battle.
