Chapter 284: Wind Forest Volcano
Concubine Yan was happy.
Jia Xule was happy.
Dong Hao was also happy.
Dong Ling was the intelligence chief who stayed in Haojing, and recently gave Jia Xu two pieces of detailed information about Xiang Yanjun's army, including his detailed marching route, army supply points, ship docking points, information on various generals, and the composition of the army.
These two pieces of information were sent to the Dayu Navy by someone in Jiangbei who swam across the river and someone who came from the direction of Xiangyan's camp in Jiangnan, and neither of them was obtained independently by Dayu's own intelligence organization. In fact, Dayu's intelligence organization has just been used in this world, and its role is almost negligible.
Soon after getting these two pieces of information, Zhou Tai and the sharks also brought some corroborating information that could verify the authenticity of these two pieces of information.
"This is really interesting, does Chu Jun just want Xiang Yan to fail? I don't have such a person. ”
Dong Ting seemed to mean something.
"If there is, I will clean the portal for my husband."
The first master in Haojing, Concubine Yan, is murderous.
Faced with this combination of love brain and sickness, Jia Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes, a little worried about Fazheng's safety, he was really afraid that if Fazheng sent thousands of women again, Concubine Yan couldn't help but want to kill.
However, it seems that Fa Zheng can also copy Dian Wei's skills.
Do you want to remind the concubines of the harem about this?
Anyway, Fa Zheng can't kill him, so he must be happy to die to dissipate his anger for the imperial concubines, right?
Jia Xu wrote down this, but his face was expressionless, and he changed the topic and said: "We have also received information from Li Yuan before, it is obvious that the contradiction between Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan, who are in power within the Chu State, has reached a fever pitch, neither of them wants to cross the river, they are afraid of being harmed by the other party, this time it seems that Li Yuanqi is a high one, so Chun Shenjun, who was ordered to cross the river, can only sell Xiang Yan!" ”
"As for the traitors on Xiang Yan's side, nine times out of ten they were just the actions of the unwilling war agents. There are too many war agents and it is difficult to align interests, if someone gets Xiang Yan's favor, and someone may become cannon fodder, then those who become cannon fodder will naturally become traitors in order to fish in troubled waters. ”
Jia Xu only analyzed the situation of the three main generals of Chu State based on the existing information.
"My husband said that the prime minister will do it himself, and I am only responsible for killing people."
Concubine Yan nodded at Jia Xu.
Concubine Yan's self-knowledge made Jia Xu very useful.
Jia Xu likes Yuxin, the queen who can calm the scene but doesn't ask about mundane things, and also likes Concubine Yan, a concubine who loves Dong Huang's career and is willing to make a move but listens to persuasion.
The former belongs to the last hole card, which cannot be used in the final fight against the ancestral dragon; The latter, however, is a tactical nuclear weapon that has been exposed at this stage and is not a big problem.
"Your Royal Highness Dongjun, please rest assured, Xuzi will make arrangements."
When Jia Xu responded, he deliberately did not say that every concubine could be called "Niangniang", but said the exclusive title of "His Royal Highness Dongjun".
Sure enough, the corners of Concubine Yan's mouth hooked, and her smile was about to be hidden.
Concubine Yan is easily satisfied, or rather, her attention is not the same as that of other women.
In her opinion, other women are just toys for her husband, and she is the only one of her husband's ancestors, and the most noble god under her husband!
"Then please Prime Minister!"
Concubine Yan said in the spring breeze.
So, on a calm night, Zhuge Liang, who was watching the stars at night, ascended the altar and borrowed the east wind.
Dong Huang's army, which had long known the specific location of the main force of Xiang Yan's army, took advantage of the situation and released a large number of fireships to Xiang Yan's army.
The fireboat rushed towards Xiang Yanjun's warship under the fierce blowing of the east wind.
Xiang Yan's army was awakened by the tens of thousands of fireships that were galloping, but because Xiang Yan had just landed secretly in the past few days, and when he went to Peng Li to reorganize the troops, the deputy general who stayed behind did not have enough prestige to control the troops, and this was inconvenient to command in the dark night, Xiang Yan's army and navy suddenly fell into chaos and collapsed.
That night, more than half of Xiang Yan's naval ships were burned, about one-third surrendered under the attack of the Dayu army, and only a few escaped.
The tragic image is no less than Cao Cao after the Battle of Chibi.
After the victory, the Dayu army went straight to Pengli Lake (equivalent to Poyang Lake) and appeared behind Xiang Yan's army.
Xiang Yanjun shook.
It was only at this time that Xiang Yan realized that his water army was completely finished overnight.
What does the defeat of the trolls mean?
It's not just that Chunshenjun's troops can't come, but it also means that Xiang Yanjun's food supply is cut off!
At this time, there were not so many granaries in Jiangnan, and the cities near Pengli Lake did not have long-term food reserves for an army of 500,000.
Prior to this, Xiang Yanjun's grain and grass were mainly transported by waterways; And these feudal lords naturally eat in their own fiefdoms.
Now it's a big problem.
The army of hundreds of thousands, which was still his proud capital before, turned out to be a life-urging rope for his life in the blink of an eye!
"Let the county officials return to their respective fiefdoms, leaving only 50,000 people to transport grain and grass and act as logistics, and I will personally lead the army to Jiuzi! Each feudal lord was ordered to transport three months' worth of grain and grass to the Gaz within fifteen days! Violators, behead! ”
Xiang Yan decisively issued a military order.
There's no word for a wreck, but it means something about the same.
If Xiang Yan fled without a fight in the land battle, then the responsibility for the loss of the land south of the Yangtze River west of Pengli Lake in Chu State could all be counted on his head.
At that time, it will not only be him who will die, but his eldest son, who has just had dozens of concubines, and other sons, will also suffer nine times out of ten.
Xiang Yan, who had no choice, decided to fight to the death.
First of all, he dismissed most of the soldiers at the rank of county commander in order to save food, so that he could have enough food and grass for 600,000 troops for ten days, enough for him to use for a month.
Next, he will lead the elite soldiers directly to Jiuzi to repair, make the final replenishment in Jiuzi, and then go straight to Jinling - he already knows that the main force of the Dayu army is gathered there, and he also knows that the Dayu army has no military formation.
How strong can an army without a military formation be?
You must know that of the 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, 10,000 of them are the private pawns of the Xiang clan.
The Xiang clan's military formation is not simple.
The current main army formation of the Chu State is mainly inherited from the remnants of the military array left by Wu Qi, but the Xiang clan has integrated the elements of the remnants of Sun Wu's army formation on the basis of the fragments, creating a unique "Fenglin Volcano" military formation belonging to the Xiang clan, which is extremely adaptable and powerful.
In addition, the remaining 20,000 regular troops, every 5,000 people, can also be combined into a miniature military formation inherited by the Chu royal family.
With a strong army of 30,000 soldiers and 80,000 elites, Xiang Yan is really fearless in land battles, even the elites of Daqin dare to resist, not to mention Dong Huang's army, which has no military array.
"However, does Dong Huangjun really have no military formation? Is the main force really in Jinling? ”
Xiang Yan sighed slightly.
At this time, he could not guarantee the accuracy of the known information, but there was news from spies that about 100,000 or 200,000 Dayu troops appeared near Jinling.
But the matter has come to this, and Xiang Yan can only gamble.
If you really can't find the main force of the Dayu army, then take the opportunity to attack the city and regain the lost territory!
Xiang Yanjun's movements were closely monitored by the domesticated beasts of Dong Huangjun's army.
However, it may be because of the participation of the war agents, and after the agents noticed that there was always Hai Dongqing in the sky, they couldn't help but wonder if Dong Huangjun had trained the Flying Eagle to monitor Xiang Yanjun.
Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment regarding the situation reported by the war agent, and then finally understood why the Dayu Army was finally able to find the weak point of the Chu Army.
"I see!"
Xiang Yan raised his eyes to look at the sky, and suddenly bent his bow and arrow, and an arrow shot through a Hai Dongqing in the sky.
"General Marksman!"
The war agents and the generals under Xiang Yan applauded.
At the same time, Hua Xiong, the general of Dong Huangjun, covered his eyes and exclaimed bitterly: "My bird! ”
It was his Hai Dongqing who was shot through by Xiang Yan.
It happened to be his turn to spy on Xiang Yanjun that day, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
Hua Xiong was furious.
So, I was angry.
Hua Xiong, who will be injured every time he is a pioneer, has learned to be obedient.
He is no longer the impulsive and irritable Hua Xiong, and now even if he rushes into battle, he will let the five tigers of the Han family go first.
The five tigers of the Han family are the five Xiliang fierce generals who were sent to the family reunion after being angry by the elderly Zhao Yun in the romance.
The generals who are evaluated as "the courage of ten thousand people" in the romance generally do not end well.
However, the other generals of Dong Huangjun liked Hua Xiong as a pioneer, because they found that as long as Hua Xiong was a pioneer and was injured, then they would definitely be a big victory if they shot again.
This is the bloody lesson summed up in the 23 years of the world's warring career.
Of course, blood is Huaxiong's blood.
Straight to the point.
On the other side, Xiang Yan, who shot Huaxiong's bird, seemed to have done something inconsequential, and said casually: "If you find an abnormality again, call me in time!" ”
Xiang Yan is an orthodox soldier heir, and his strength will be greatly improved while cultivating the military formation, and now he has already entered the second order of mythology, with the addition of the military formation, his strength is stronger, and the arrow shooting is only a ninth-order flying bird.
"General, what if Dong Huangjun can still train other beasts?"
Gongye Defei couldn't help but quietly pull Xiang Yan.
Gongye Defei's temple has been upgraded to the second level, and there are also a lot of useful abilities, so naturally he understands the annoyance of the War Agent's messy abilities, especially some auxiliary abilities.
Gongye Defei also has a very annoying perk ability, which is also his last hole card.
"Don't worry about him, just go ahead with the plan!"
Xiang Yan chose to ignore it.
The questions that Gongye Defei can think of, Xiang Yan can naturally think of, but what can he do? You can't kill all the animals along the way, right?
Shooting a bird is to boost morale, if you shoot a random beast, it will be a frightened bird, and when the time comes, you don't have to fight, and your morale will collapse first.
In fact, for Xiang Yan, it was really nothing to encounter this situation, when the Yue country tamed animals, used poison, and drove corpses...... There are no strange means, and the Chu State has not destroyed the Yue State in the same way.
One force will drop ten times, in front of the military formation of the Chu State, all the side doors and left roads are tricks that cannot be put on the table.
Your poison, your beast, and your corpse can't break the evil spirit of our army's murderous aura, that is, some can exorcise ghosts, and the ghosts will be directly impacted and killed by the army's evil spirit, and I'm still afraid of a bird?
What's more, there are really no strange people in the Chu State?
Besides, you think "Wind Forest Volcano" is just a nice name?
[I hope you treat me as a piece of waste in Jingxing!] 】
Xiang Yan even wished that the Great Yu Army would despise him, and he didn't mind being surrounded by the Great Yu Army.
Putting him to death and resurrection, he will let Da Yu Jun know how powerful he is!
Xiang Yanjun's response was quickly detected by the Dayu army.
Seeing that Xiang Yan disbanded the army almost immediately, leaving only the elite soldiers and strong generals, Zhou Tai, the governor of the navy who first got the information, couldn't help but praise Xiang Yan's decisiveness.
Xiang Yan and these people, for Zhou Tai and others, are considered characters in history books, and there is always a sense of familiarity and contempt.
Just like a traverser always thinks that he will definitely be better than the ancients, Zhou Tai also feels that in terms of Xiang Yan's achievements in historical time and space, he can also do it!
Especially after swimming in the water for two months and winning repeatedly, finally allowing him to break through to the first level of mythology, Zhou Tai was even more confident.
He even wanted to go head-to-head with Xiang Yan.
[The grandson hasn't been born yet, I'll beat my grandfather first, no problem, right? ] 】
Zhou Tai thought.
If it was possible, he also wanted to spank the ass of the underage Xiang Yu.
"I want to go ashore!"
Zhou Tai, who was full of confidence, said to Lu Su and Lu Xun.
"But the governor wants to pursue the scattered army of the Chu army, expand the results of the battle, and disturb the heart of the main force of Xiang Yan's army?"
Seeing Zhou Tai's confident appearance, Lu Su, who was afraid that his brain would be pulled out to fight Xiang Yan, hurriedly patched him.
"Huh? Yeah! ”
Zhou Tai nodded again and again: "That's exactly what I meant!" ”
"The army can also send troops to Hushui (equivalent to the Qingyi River in Anhui) to harass along the river."
Lu Xun also hurriedly patched Zhou Tai.
He focused on the word "harassment", which was to remind Zhou Tai that in addition to water warfare, it is best not to go to land, and if you go to land, it is good to harass, so don't take the navy to a decisive battle.
Zhou Tai nodded again and again: It's all to blame Jiangdong for not being able to fight on land!
Of course, he himself is definitely not a Jiangdong general, as we all know, he followed Dong Huang all the way out of the Central Plains, but one of Dong Huang's four major guards, the land battle is still very strong! It can only be said that the navy is too weak, which drags down his performance.
"Bo Yan Ke Shuaijun went to the muddy water, brought Han Powu with him, and took half of the shark shark; I first went ashore to attack the stragglers of the Chu army to prevent the Chu army Li Dai Taojian from covering the main force to escape while in chaos, and then went to join Bo Yan. ”
Zhou Tai gave a plausible reason.
After making a plan, Zhou Tai immediately took action and launched an attack on the place where there was a waterway around Pengli Lake that could be reached.
The Chu army, which had already scattered in all directions, was defeated and won less, and only Chen Wu, Xu Sheng, Song Lian and others in Zhou Tai's department were defeated in separate operations, and Chen Wu was almost killed in battle, thanks to the fact that the enemy army had no elite, so he had to escape.
There are also fierce people under the command of the war agent, and there are even many famous generals in history or in the world that Dong Huangjun does not know, even Dong Huangjun cannot completely cut melons and vegetables.
However, on the whole, the Dayu army still returned with a great victory, annihilating 100,000 enemies, capturing and burning more than a dozen nests of Xiaofengjun, and the scene is still reasonable.
After that, Zhou Tai no longer fell in love with the war, so that Lu Su led a part of the ships to continue to control the river and cut off the logistics of Xiang Yan's army, and he personally led the army to support Lu Xun and Han Shizhong's troops.
However, halfway through, Zhou Tai received the news of the defeat of the Dayu army at Hushui.
The Dayu army took advantage of the time when Xiang Yan's army crossed halfway, and launched an attack on the Chu army, the general Huaxiong beheaded the vanguard of the Chu army, Han Shizhong and Lu Xun directly blocked the water, and the battle directly defeated the Chu army of 30,000 or 40,000 horses.
[Finally, I don't have to get hurt!] 】
Hua Xiong, who was overjoyed, personally led the army and rushed towards the last 2,000 or so men and horses of the Chu army who crossed the river.
Then, something unscientific happened.
"Mountain! Mountain! Mountain! ”
In the end, more than 2,000 people suddenly shouted in unison, and a calm and heavy momentum like a mountain rushed to their faces.
Huaxiong's department was like hitting a mountain, and his head was bleeding.
The general Hua Xiong was even pierced through the lower abdomen by a member of the leading military generals in the enemy formation.
Han De rescued in time, and the enemy army remained calm and did not pursue, so Hua Xiong escaped with his life.
Under normal circumstances, there are many tactics available to deal with slow-moving troops, however, the performance of the Chu army has only just begun.
"Wind! Wind! Wind! ”
A new cry rang out.
A cavalry force of more than 2,000 people of the Chu army, under the personal leadership of the enemy's main general Xiang Yan, directly crossed the river, and immediately attacked the main general's wounded Huaxiong Division.
Huaxiong's eighth-order guards and training troops couldn't resist when they all came out, and everywhere Xiang Yan passed, everyone was broken, and any ordinary soldier in Xiang Yan's department actually had the strength of the ninth order!
The five tigers of the Han family were eager to save people, and the father and son faintly touched the trick of joint attack, but they were swept off the horse by a young general of Xiang Yanjun's hand with a shot in his hand, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
At the critical moment, Han Shizhong led the guards ashore, and Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the response, led the guards to kill, which saved Hua Xiong and others.
The price was that Han Shizhong was injured by the Chu army, the Dayu army was defeated, the space soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and everyone's generals and guards were basically killed and wounded, and Zhao Yun in the palace was ignored by Xiang Yan, who was chasing after him and was eager to expand the results of the battle, and handed over to the soldiers under his command to be responsible.
Perhaps, in Xiang Yan's opinion, a mythical first-order pawn is not qualified to let him stop.
Seeing that Pao Ze and the generals were suffering heavy casualties, and that he was not only ignored but also forced into an absolute disadvantage by a group of small soldiers, Zhao Yun was furious.
Zhao Yun's various characteristics were fully activated, and he directly broke through to the second order of mythology, the gun was like a dragon, and the phantom of a white dragon appeared at the tip of Zhao Yun's spear, each shot could take away a Xiang Yan's own soldiers, but Xiang Yanjun's attack was either dodged by Zhao Yun or they themselves made mistakes such as stumbling on the front foot, all of which did not work.
There was also Xiang Yanjun who fired a cold arrow at Zhao Yun, but he shot his robe by mistake.
It is also thanks to Zhao Yun that she is not a woman, otherwise the effect of the bloody battle with Dong Huang would be even more terrifying.
"Whose subordinate is this? How brave can you be? ”
Xiang Yan, who was chasing and killing the Dayu army to expand the results of the battle, saw that his army was about to be broken through the key node by Zhao Yun with his own strength, so he could only turn around and chase Zhao Yun.
But all formations must have a core, and the same is true for military formations. For example, Zheng Qiang's military formation, the core is him, and the sub-core is the twelve ninth-order peaks who can reach the mythical first-order powerhouse in the military formation, with their cooperation, so many people's military formation momentum can be combined and integrated into a whole.
The same goes for Xiang Yanjun.
However, Xiang Yanjun's training degree is obviously much higher than Zheng Qiang's, and if ten or eight node soldiers die, there will be personnel to fill the position immediately, and even because many of the dead are Xiang clansmen, brothers and sisters, after the death of all these people, the momentum of the legion does not decline but rises, and they can't wait to kill Zhao Yun to take revenge.
Looking at Xiang Yan who rushed over, Zhao Yun laughed, then turned around and left.
He is brave, not stupid.
The number of mythical first-order powerhouses in the enemy's military formation is more than that of his generals, and in this case, he has to shake Xiang Yan, a fierce man who has already entered the mythical second-order and has a military formation bonus and a group of junior brothers, isn't that stupid!
Using the ghost hidden under the corpse, Jia Xu, who saw Zhao Yun escape from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, Jia Xu was ready to use chaotic force once Zhao Yun fell into a crisis - long before this battle began, Jia Xu hid two strange creatures that captured other war agents from Yingzhou near the battlefield, and they plus Xiang Yanjun happened to be a tripartite force, once the chaotic force was used, unless Xiang Yanjun found these two guys and killed them, they would be trapped here!
"The military formation, it's very strong, let Lu Boyan retreat."
Jia Xu, who has not been defeated in many years, seems to be indifferent to this defeat, squinting his eyes like a Maitreya Buddha.
In fact, Jia Xu really didn't care much.
In this battle, he did not use natural person troops at all, and the main force was space soldiers, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of Xiang Yanjun's military formation.
As for the tens of thousands of space soldiers killed and injured in the process, he really didn't care.
With more and more mission worlds experienced, Jia Xu has confirmed that the space soldiers who are difficult to break through the limitations of their own rank are actually the transitional cannon fodder provided by the infinite war space to the war agents.
What the space really wants to train as a war agent is still a natural person.
And in this world, it is already a chivalrous style, and the folk customs are more generous and heroic than the Three Kingdoms era, if the operation is good, there are more natural people and soldiers who can be obtained than the Three Kingdoms era, and the growth is definitely not bad!
In this case, it doesn't matter how big the loss of the space troops is, anyway, you can buy more space soldiers right away.
Not counting the previous gains in Yingzhou and Dong Huang in the land of Baiyue, the gains of the Great Yu Navy since the Yuchu War alone are enough to buy three times the space troops lost today.
