Chapter 304: The Battle of Shouchun

When Dong Huang was fighting the Han Palace, an even bloodier battle was staged on the land of Huainan.

In order to save the food of Shaobi, Chun Shenjun, or the monarch of the Huang State, Huang Wang, had to lead his troops to a decisive battle with the elite of the Chu army that had raided from the west.

The main force of the Chu army occupying the vicinity of Shaobi has a total of 250,000 eighth-order elites who can form a military array, of which 100,000 are the elite of the elite - Wang Shu.

The main army is just that, Chun Shenjun is not afraid at all, but the 100,000 royal soldiers can't be dealt with by Chun Shenjun carelessly.

Wang Zu is the elite of the Zhenguo cultivated by the power of the Chu State, and the overall strength is one grade higher than that of the regular army, so it will not be easy to dispatch, but this time, the Chu State obviously can't wait.

In order to ensure that this army could be defeated smoothly, Chun Shenjun not only concentrated most of the elites who could form a military array, but even the elites of each feudal monarch were transferred to act as cannon fodder;

At the same time, in order to prevent the Chu army from forcibly crossing the Huai River, Chun Shenjun also made effective arrangements, not only letting his henchman Zhu Ying personally guard it, but also asking the Dayu army for help, asking the Dayu army to help defend the Huaishui.

Da Yu Jun naturally understands that this is actually Chun Shenjun deliberately pulling Da Yu Jun into the water, if Da Yu Jun does not help, Chun Shenjun is very likely to be alone, and will be attacked by Chu Jun on both sides, and then defeated.

Chun Shenjun expected that it would be impossible for the Dayu army to watch him easily defeated.

This is exactly the case, Da Yu hopes that Chun Shenjun can contain the Chu army more, and it is best to be able to lose both sides with the Chu army, this time, Da Yu Jun had to accept Chun Shenjun's kidnapping.

Huang Zhongqin, the general of the Dayu Army, led 100,000 elites to cross the river in Huaishui, which had never been blocked by the Chu army, and rushed to Shouchun to support. At the same time, the Dayu Army also began to step up underwater operations, clean up the river, and make a posture of cutting off the river surface of the Shouchun section of Huaishui again.

In this context, the decisive battle between Chun Shenjun and the western Chu army soon began.

Chun Shenjun's opponent this time is no longer Li Yuan, but Xiong Rui, a general from the royal family.

Xiong Rui's reputation is not obvious, but he has been a general among the king's pawns for a long time, and he is trusted by the king of Chu, and this time he was sent out by the king of Chu, who has no generals.

There is no general in the army, and it is also the biggest pain in the Chu State.

Chun Shenjun, who led the Chu army to destroy the Lu State and also won the Qin State, is actually the best general in the Chu State, and Xiang Yan is the backbone of the Chu State's prime-age faction.

As a result, now Chun Shenjun has committed treason and become the Yellow King, and Xiang Yan has now become an important general of the Dayu Army because of the anti-intrigue scheme.

The most capable general of the Chu State turned out to be an ambitious Li Yuan who had been defeated repeatedly.

King Chukaoli was also helpless.

As soon as Chun Shenjun and Xiong Ruifu fought, Chun Shenjun found that Xiong Rui's command ability was insufficient.

Xiong Rui was simply unable to effectively command an army of 250,000 elites and 200,000 auxiliaries, and he even struggled to command 100,000 royal soldiers. There are also great problems with the coordination between the more than 70 large camps that stretch for dozens of miles.

After a day of temptation, Chun Shenjun launched a fierce attack on the left flank camp of Xiong Rui's army at dawn the next day.

The left flank is the weakest point of the Chu army, where the army formation is sparse and ordinary, and the personnel are not very elite.

Sure enough, less than an hour after the battle began, Chun Shenjun broke through three barriers on the left flank of the Chu army and killed seven or eight generals of the Chu army.

According to Chun Shenjun's idea, Xiong Rui should have sent reinforcements to support at this time, and he was also ready to take advantage of the situation to counterattack the main force of Xiong Rui's army.

However, what Chun Shenjun didn't expect was that Xiong Rui didn't care about the life or death of the left flank at all, and directly pressed the whole army of the Chinese army, directly approaching Chunshenjun's middle army; At the same time, the right flank of the Chu army also moved, and it didn't care about the other two wings and the defense of the big battalion, and approached the left flank of Chun Shenjun.

"Fighting on their own? Interesting! ”

Chun Shenjun chuckled.

He could already see the doorway.

Xiong Rui knew that he was not the material to command the large army to fight, so he directly gave up the specific command of the left battalion, the right battalion and the rear battalion, and was only responsible for commanding the 100,000 royal soldiers under his command.

He wanted to rely on the powerful royal pawn to charge head-on for a decisive battle.

He wanted to directly press the main force and fight a general battle without effective command.

Although it seems to be a bad battle, in fact, this is Xiong Rui's best choice - provided that these 100,000 royal soldiers have enough combat effectiveness, organization, morale and toughness, otherwise they will be easily affected by the collapse of the flanks, and may even fall into the encirclement and collapse.

Of course, Xiong Rui may still have an idea, that is, when the number of people reaches hundreds of thousands, even Chun Shenjun cannot effectively command everywhere, and the final situation on the battlefield depends on the level of the generals on both sides, and the generals on both sides are basically from the generals of the Chu State, and they are all the same bad!

Xiong Rui wanted to break the bad score, and by expanding the battlefield, reduce Chun Shenjun's command advantage to the minimum, so as to drag Chun Shenjun's army to the same level as the Chu army as much as possible, and then defeat Chun Shenjun with rich low-level experience.

"Then let's fight!"

Chun Shenjun was not afraid at all.

Wang Shu is indeed elite, it is the strongest army in Chu State, a total of only 200,000, but there are no strong generals, if the generals and Wang Shu's army are low in formation and poor in ability, then what is the use of the army!

A soldier bears a nest of bears.

Chun Shenjun is not afraid at all.

Chun Shenjun decisively commanded the main force of 150,000 and collided with Xiong Rui's department.

In fact, just as Chun Shenjun expected, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army Wang Pawn, whose individual strength was obviously higher than that of Chun Shenjun's elite, was similar to that of the soldier army formation under the leadership of Chun Shenjun, and the two sides actually played an almost one-to-one exchange ratio.

However, the tenacity of the Chu army was beyond Chun Shenjun's imagination.

Chun Shenjun originally wanted to attack the left flank of the Chu army first, and the Chu army came to help and divided and encircled it; If the state of Chu does not come to help, it will simply be broken one by one.

However, although the Chu army did not assist the left flank, the left flank of the Chu army showed extraordinary resilience, and even if five barriers were breached, it still held on.

The king of the Chu army's Chinese army seemed to have eliminated all distracting thoughts, rushing forward with one mind, completely unafraid of life and death.

And among the Chu army's Wang Stroke Army, Chun Shenjun also found a team of witches, these witches chanted words in their mouths, and every other stick of incense, one would commit suicide with a sharpened keel dagger.

Under the continuous suicide of the witches, the momentum of the army of the king of Chu not only did not decrease, but slowly increased, and the physical strength did not decline significantly, so that in the decisive battle with the elite of Chun Shenjun, there were gradually signs of gaining the upper hand.

What Chun Shenjun didn't expect was that even the Chu army auxiliaries who were ignored by him were crazy one by one, and rushed to Chun Shenjun's department without fear of death.

Of course, many of the auxiliaries on Chunshenjun's side also showed extraordinary fighting spirit, and they started a rookie battle with the auxiliaries of the Chu State.

What Chun Shenjun didn't know was that this was the war agent of both sides.

This is a battle of hundreds of thousands of eighth-order elites, and you have to make a lot of money if you mix it with a little bit of combat merit. If you pick up and kill some more eighth-order strong soldiers, it will be even more cool.

The war pro-vigators will certainly not miss this opportunity.

In the face of the unexpectedly tenacious tenacity of the Chu king's pawn, Chun Shenjun, who was unable to defeat the Chu army for a while, could only continue the previous strategy and ordered to defeat the left flank of the Chu army first, and then divide and encircle the Chu king's pawn.

When the Chunshen monarch was fighting with Xiong Rui's troops, as Chunshen Jun expected, the Chu army forcibly crossed the Huaishui.

What Chun Shenjun didn't expect was that the Chu army that forcibly crossed the Huaishui was also a king's pawn, and it was led by the king of Chu himself.

You must know that the Chu State is only 200,000 kings and soldiers in total, that is to say, this time the King of Chu is really an empty country to attack.

What's even more terrifying is the strength of this royal pawn.

Unlike the kings and pawns led by Xiong Rui, who were all eighth-order powerhouses, one-third of the troops led by the King of Chu himself had the strength of the ninth order, and the middle and high-level generals were all first-order mythical, and even second-order, and the rest were basically the peak of the eighth order.

Even if it is only at the beginning of the ninth order, with the bonus of the military formation, it can be added to the middle of the ninth order, and even the peak of the ninth order! Some of them can even reach the first level of mythology with bonuses. The king of the peak of the eighth order can also reach the ninth order with the bonus of the military array.

Moreover, this army is also equipped with the most sophisticated armor and weapons of the Chu State, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

After the defeat in the Battle of Yanying and the forced relocation of the capital to Chen, the state of Chu frantically collected the army in the east of the state of Chu and obtained more than 100,000 people.

"The king of Chu collected soldiers from the east, got more than 100,000, and took 15 towns in the south of the Yangtze River from the west."

The 100,000 elite soldiers led by King Chu Kaolie are the descendants of the 100,000 most elite troops assembled by the whole country after the Battle of Yan Ying of Chu State, and some of the backbones are even the strong soldiers who participated in the westward departure of King Chu Xiang to recapture fifteen cities from Qin State.

They are the last trump card in the hands of the king of Chu.

This time, the prince of Chu led this army out, so he naturally decided to fight hard.

In fact, no matter how dull the king of Chu is, he should realize that if he doesn't work hard, he can't do it, and if he doesn't work hard, the state of Chu will really die.

It is just a matter of losing the land south of the Yangtze River, and the land of Huainan cannot be recaptured, and the collapse of the finances and the lack of grain and grass are enough to drag down the Chu army.

Under the personal supervision of King Chu Kaolie, the last elite of Chu rushed across the pontoon bridge like a rainbow.

The combined forces of Zhu Ying and Huang Zhong, who had been prepared for a long time, formed an arrow array and launched a saturation attack on the Chu army that crossed the river.

Although the Chu army formed an army formation and had a large shield, it still suffered heavy losses in the long and narrow pontoon bridge area.

However, the Chu army's fearlessness of death was beyond the imagination of the coalition army, and after the Chu army killed tens of thousands of people in vain, it finally met with the coalition army.

The angry Chu army showed Chun Shenjun's subordinates what it means to be brave and fearless, and not afraid of death!

In fact, as long as the king spares his life, the army of any country in this world can burst out with very good combat effectiveness.

Under the outbreak of the Chu army, the 180,000 allied troops were defeated and retreated by the vanguard of the Chu State with less than 30,000 people.

Huang Zhong saw the right time to aim at the King of Chu and shoot an arrow, but when the arrow passed through the army of the King of Chu, it seemed to shoot into a cloud of sticky liquid, and the speed and power were sharply reduced, and in the end, although it hit the King of Chu, it did not cause fatal injuries.

Huang Zhong wanted to shoot again, but found that the King of Chu had been protected by layers of big shields. Seeing that the King of Chu was injured, the Chu army was furious, and even more powerful combat power broke out.

Huang Zhong still wanted to shoot the generals of the Chu army, but it was obvious that the generals of the Chu army had already learned to be obedient, so that Huang Zhong couldn't find a few shots for a while.

In the face of Wang Pawn, who showed absolute crushing strength, even if Zhu Ying's command did not make mistakes, even Huang Zhong did his best, not only let the 90,000 space soldiers go up, but the army formation troops were even pressed on the front line, but it was useless.

Zhu Ying's department collapsed first, and Zhu Ying abandoned the army and fled.

The ninety-thousand-eighth-order space soldiers under Huang Zhong's command were also almost visible to the naked eye, and the formation was destroyed.

Huang Zhong's department is difficult to support alone.

Huang Zhong could only break the wrist of a strong man, let the space soldiers break off, and then lead the strategic transfer of the military formation troops.

As a result, as soon as Huang Zhong left, the space soldiers soon collapsed.

Zhu Ying and Huang Zhong's troops were defeated, and Chun Shenjun suffered from the enemy on his back.

At that time, Chun Shenjun had actually defeated the left flank of the Chu army, and the right flank of the Chu army was also suppressed.

But the tenacity of Xiong Rui's Wang Pawn was also beyond Chun Shenjun's imagination, and his frontal military formation was almost broken through by Xiong Rui's troops.

Chun Shenjun got the information brought by Huang Zhong, and he could only give up the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Chu king, and after the same strong man broke his wrist and entangled the Chu army, he commanded the large army to retreat, wanting to retire Shouchun.

But with hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield, how can it be so easy to retreat.

In the end, the troops who followed Chun Shenjun to retreat were only more than 100,000 people.

To add insult to injury, when Chun Shenjun and Huang Zhong's troops retreated to Shouchun City, Chun Shenjun's henchman He Ning had already retreated to Shouchun City at some point, and closed the city gate to prevent Chun Shenjun from entering the city.

There is no doubt that He Ning has contacted many war agents and even Chun Shenjun's disciples at some point, and is ready to betray if the war is unfavorable.

Unable to enter the city, and Xiong Rui and the pursuers of the King of Chu also quickly chased after them, and the troops of Chun Shenjun, who lost his family's dog, were defeated again, and could only retreat in the direction of Chaohu City.

And in the process of retreating, Chun Shenjun once again experienced betrayal after betrayal.

First of all, those feudal monarchs rebelled one after another, and then most of the disciples of Chunshenjun chose to betray, and Zhu Ying, who abandoned the army and fled first, was nowhere to be found.

Chun Shenjun, although both military and civil abilities are good, but there is no wisdom to know people, although his disciples are three thousand, but they are strong and aggressive, extravagant and flashy, but there are few who are really talented and chivalrous enough, the most outstanding are Zhu Ying and Li Yuan, and Li Yuan is still a betrayer, Zhu Ying is a Zhu Run.

Historically, when King Chu Kaolie was about to die, Zhu Ying reminded Chun Shenjun to be careful of Li Yuan, but Chun Shenjun did not listen, and Zhu Ying fled; After that, Chun Shenjun was killed by Li Yuan, but none of Chun Shenjun's three thousand guests, including Zhu Ying, wanted to avenge Chun Shenjun, which was completely unimaginable in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many people who died because of a promise and a promise, the monarch was killed, and the doorman should have avenged the monarch at all costs.

For example, Zhi Boyao's doorman Yu Rang, after Zhi Yao was killed, in order to take revenge on Zhao Xiangzi, he assassinated Zhao Xiangzi many times, and even did not hesitate to paint his body and swallow charcoal fire to change his appearance and voice to find a chance to take revenge. After being arrested for the failure of revenge, Yu Rang begged for Zhao Xiangzi's clothes, drew his sword and cut his clothes, in order to show revenge for the Lord, and then committed suicide with a sword.

This chivalrous style even continued into the Han Dynasty and even the Three Kingdoms period.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Dian Wei, Xiahoudun, Xu Shu and others all had the experience of revenge.

But Chun Shenjun's doorman ...... Not only did they not avenge him, but there were also those who killed the lord.

It can only be said that Chun Shenjun is really problematic in some aspects.

Chun Shenjun's fiasco exceeded the expectations of the Dayu army.

The main reason is that the Dayu army underestimated the terrible array of the king's army.

The royal pawn under the leadership of King Chu Kaolie is definitely even more terrifying than Xiang Yan's "Wind Forest Volcano" army formation at this stage!

Of course, for more than two years, the Chu army has not had any outstanding performance is also one of the important reasons for this fiasco, in the final analysis, the Dayu army is a little underestimated, and I feel that with Huang Zhong's 100,000 people, how can it not be a fiasco, and at worst it can defend Shouchun.

When the time comes, the 500 sharks secretly transferred back will be used to cut off the pontoon bridge first, and then forcibly clean up the river and cut off the Huaishui, so that the main force of the Chu army can be surrounded and killed near Shouchun.

As a result, I didn't expect that the Chu army would be so fierce.

Huang Zhong led 10,000 troops that could initially form a military formation and 90,000 space soldiers, plus Zhu Ying's 100,000 military formations, but they were defeated head-on by 30,000 people.

Although Zhu Ying's abandonment and flight and Huang Zhong's unwillingness to fight with 10,000 natural people were also important reasons, defeat is defeat.

In fact, after the 30,000 kings of the Chu army crossed the river, Lu Xun, the commander of the Huaishui Naval Army, had the opportunity to order the shark shark to destroy the pontoon bridge at all costs. But Lu Xun held back, because he had already seen that the coalition forces could not even defeat these 30,000 people.

In that case, let's keep this secret weapon for now.

Anyway, as long as the state of Chu does not defeat the strength of the Dayu naval army, then the state of Chu will always be strategically passive in Huainan, and the Dayu army can still use the naval army and the Huaishui natural danger at any time to divide the battlefield again.

Of course, it is necessary to ask for sin.

Huang Zhong and Lu Xun's pleas were quickly submitted to the cabinet, because Dong Huang was hanging chickens in South Korea, and state affairs were entrusted to the cabinet and Jia Xu, so Jia Xu also held a special meeting.

Naturally, the defeat will be punished, but this has to wait for Dong Huang to make a decision, in fact, the cabinet does not think that it is Huang Zhong's fault for this defeat, mainly because everyone did not expect that the king of Chu would be so fierce, and almost all of them were dimensionally reduced.

Huang Zhong was unjustly defeated, and he also tried to find out the real hole cards of Chu State, which can also be regarded as meritorious.

Under the circumstances, even if someone else led the troops, it was impossible to win.

"It would be nice if the Wei Qi coalition army and the Chu army fought a decisive battle, but we had to guard against the Qin State."

Jia Xu said without a beginning or an end.

But the cabinet members understood what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu wants to mess with the military again.

After Jia Xu was promoted, Chaowu became a more powerful enchantment, not only with a larger area and more people trapped, but also to maximize the hostility of the various forces within the enchantment and stimulate their killing intent.

If the elites of Chu, Wei, and Qi were trapped in the enchantment during the decisive battle, then even if the king of Chu won, it would be a miserable victory.

The only problem is that if Wei is weakened badly, if Qin attacks Wei, Wei may not be able to resist, and although South Korea is a part of Dayu, but the national strength is there, I am afraid it will be difficult to help a lot.

In the final analysis, Sanjin has already been crippled by the Qin State.

Even if South Korea has Dian Wei Chengyu Guo Jia, it is still very reluctant to protect itself, Zhao Guo is now half-dead, and Wei Guo relied on Xinling Jun to continue his life.

If the Wei State loses too much this time, the Wei State will really not be able to stop the Qin State.

The State of Qin is Dayu's biggest enemy.

The Warring States period is a game of chess with many superpowers, and how to grab the greatest benefits between balance and balance is the most test of the level of chess players.

"If you want to restrain the Qin State, you must take this place, but you can't provoke the Qin State too much, lest the Qin State put its main target on us."

Pang Tong pointed to the location of Yingdu on the map.

"Fighting Ying will inevitably stimulate the Qin State, but ...... If Wei suffered heavy losses in the process of fighting Chu, and Xinlingjun died again, do you say that the Qin State will fight with us again or go to fight Wei? ”

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said.

"Woe to the East!"

Pang Tong's eyes lit up.

If Wei Wushu suffered heavy losses and lost Xinlingjun, it would really become a soft persimmon.

The key to Jia Xu's strategy is that Xinling Jun has to die, otherwise Qin will not necessarily fight Wei.

Xinlingjun's prestige is too high, and the art of war is too strong. Even at this time, the first person of the Qin State's military general, Meng Fu, was defeated miserably, and the Qin State was indeed unwilling to fight the Wei State with Xinling Jun.

In fact, for Qin, Korea is the real soft persimmon.

But if Da Yu dares to brush the tiger's whiskers, the Qin State, which has not lost so much land for decades, may not be willing to give up, after all, Yingdu is the biggest achievement of the Qin State's war against Chu.

Moreover, after seeing the power of the king of Chu, the cabinet also has a question mark about whether it can win the Qin state.

Under the blessing of the military array, the king of Chu fought against the eighth-order space soldiers to chop melons and vegetables, not to mention the more powerful Qin Zhirui.

"It is still a question of whether we can win the Qin State, judging from the current situation, compared with the northern powers, our army can only fight water battles or defensive battles relying on the city, frontal combat, and lack the main force that is decisive in the first word, and our army should not fight in vain before the main force is trained."

Dong Zhao said.

"Let's form a Western Front Army, with Gao Shun as the main general, Xi Zhicai as the military division, Zhou Tai, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong's troops are all under the command of Gao Shun, with full authority to deal with the war against Qin.

The priority goal is to take Yingdu.

Once the Qin army showed signs of reinforcing Yingdu from Nanyang, he could order Jiang Qin's troops to go up the Han River to threaten the Qin army's rear route, and inform Korea to pay close attention to the movements in the land of Wanye.

If there are reinforcements from the direction of Bashu, then the army can also abandon Yingdu, go directly to Shu, and capture Wujun and Bajun, so as to mobilize the Qin army and choose the opportunity to defeat and annihilate the Qin army in the movement.

The Qin army did not dare to give up the land of Bashu.

The barbarians of Qianzhong County and Jingnan should be handed over to Queen Zhurong, and let Queen Zhurong supervise Zhang Ren's department, Wutu Bone Department, Shamoke Department, etc., to pacify the Jingnan barbarians as soon as possible and transfer Huang Quan over.

By the way, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Du Pre, and Zhuge Ke were all transferred to Gao Shun.

The center will be handed over to the monarchs, and I will take Xiang Yan, Le Jin, Tai Shici, Yu Ban and other departments to Huaibei in person. ”

Jia Xu said his thoughts, and then asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are not in the center, this ......"

Dong Zhao objected.

"It's okay, the cabinet can make a decision."

Jia Xu was very relieved.

Loyalty is one thing, and there is no soil for careerists to be born in Dayu's system.

"Zheng Guo also goes to the Western Front!"

Zhang Ji suggested.

Zheng Guo is the hydraulic engineer who built the Zheng Guo Canal, and in order to delay the offensive of the Qin State, the historical South Korea, in order to delay the offensive of the Qin State, will send Zheng Guo to the Qin State next year, and persuade the Qin State to build the Zheng Guo Canal, so that the Qin State will spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and will not be able to go east on a large scale in a short time.

Of course, after the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, the Qin State became more prosperous, and the eastward exit was more handy.

Most of them, even if they know a little bit about the historical war agents of the Qin State, they don't know that Jinyang and other places will oppose Qin and return to Zhao this year, and they are not even very familiar with the name Zheng Guo, after all, it is normal that these things in the corners are not clear.

But most people may have heard of the famous Zheng Guoqu.

In today's South Korea, there is no need to send Zheng Guo to Qin, it is better to use it for himself, so Zheng Guo's family was sent to Haojing, and Zheng Guo officially became a water engineer in Dayu.

At this time, Zheng Guo was inspecting the water network in the south of the Yangtze River to help Dayu plan the canal!

"It's okay, you can plan in advance, see if there is any possibility of planning a canal from Yingdu to Deng (Xiangyang), and pay attention to the hydrology of Hanshui."

Jia Xu is obviously already paving the way for the future of Qin.

This place is important, but if you really want to threaten the Central Plains, you have to take down Deng.
