Chapter 36: The Great Defeat of the Wu Army

The 1,000 Chu troops had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and one by one, under the command of the general Qu Qian, they went with Jing Wu to the baggage troops of the Wu army!

But things were not as simple as they imagined, so they rushed out of Erli, and the spies in front had stopped them: "General, the baggage troops of the Wu army have set up at least three cordons, and we will kill them at this time, just afraid that it will be unfavorable to us!"

When Jing Wu heard this, he sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "Alas, it is indeed worthy of the army of the State of Wu! This must be a strategy that Mr. Sun Wu and Wu Zixu Xiangguo came up with, the purpose of which is to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the grain transport team! Okay, we are still resting here for a while, and when the ugly time is to attack, I will go to solve the sentry, General Qu Qian, you lead the army to attack the enemy's baggage and burn it with fire, we want not a grain of grain or a single forage to be left for Lu Lu! With fire oil, we have preparations!"

"No!" Qu Qian was overjoyed: This time, you can teach the Wu army a lesson! Haha, yes, you can't expose the identity of the Chu army, otherwise, it will be refreshing!

The accompanying soldier had already counted the hour, and put the hourglass on again, with a cautious expression, as if there was the slightest mistake or omission!

Seeing his nervous face, Jing Wu smiled: "Haha, boy, you take it easy, I just need an approximate time! After a while, when the soldiers of the Wu army are tired, we will sneak attack! General Qu, tell our soldiers that our actions must be swift and mighty, and there must be no hesitation or delay! I see that there are a lot of soldiers escorted by the grain and grass and baggage of the Wu army, and we must fight and withdraw quickly! No one is allowed to delay or be slow, otherwise, we ourselves will face a death battle of the Wu army, and even be surrounded! Then, we will fall into the realm of no return!"

"No, don't worry, general, haha, it's a pity, we don't have horses, otherwise, with our daily operation, we will withdraw after the battle, and the Wu army won't even know what's going on, so we will lose their logistical support!" Qu Qian smiled proudly, with an excited face, as if he had already made a contribution!

After another three hours, it was already the end of the year, and Jing Wu saw that his soldiers were tired, so he smiled, haha, you will come with me in a while! Hehe, let's burn all this grain, grass, and baggage, and then, go back to our previous camp to rest, and prepare for the next raid!

Subsequently, he infiltrated the Wu army's military camp, and silently solved the Wu army's secret sentry one by one, and then, with another burst of sword qi, he wiped out all the sentries!

He gestured again, and a thousand Chu troops instantly arrived in front of the camp of the Wu army!

The Chu army had completely grasped the situation on the battlefield at this time, and then, they immediately cleared the night patrol soldiers of the Wu State one by one, and then launched a surprise attack!

When the Wu army came over clearly, they were already deep in the sea of fire! When they hurriedly put out the fire under the command of the leading general, the soldiers of the Chu State shot and killed again, and then the raging fire burned, and they could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away!

When Jing Wu saw this, he immediately ordered the Chu army to retreat!

When the soldiers of Wu State rushed over, the grain and grass had already been burned by the fire, and sure enough, not a single grain of rice or grass was left for the Wu army!

Wu Zixu was taken aback when he heard the report, but he didn't dare to alarm the sleeping Wu Wanglu, so he had to come with his husband to inspect the loss of the backup baggage!

All of a sudden, the two of them looked at each other: What can they do for the sake of today? Originally, they only brought five days of military rations, but now, the baggage, grain and grass have been burned by the Yue people, how can this battle continue?

Fucha sighed and said with a wry smile: "Everyone in Xiangguo, we are very familiar with this technique, could it be that the master is joking with us, and wants my Wu Kingdom to stop the army and return to Gusu?

"Well, the prince is really careful! It seems that the Yue people have already understood our strategy of using troops, and even learned the tactics of General Xiao Han! It's just that this technique is rather crude, but unfortunately, our soldiers are defenseless, so that they have fallen for their tricks! Haha, come on, don't worry, the prince can rest assured, what they burned is only two days of our military rations! I have already discussed with Da Sima, and his grain transportation team has been divided into several small teams, so the Yue people have just fallen into our trap! But our losses are not small, tomorrow, we still advise the king to be careful, otherwise, not to mention that we can't defeat the country, I'm afraid, it's impossible for us to retreat!"

Indeed, this was a clever plan prepared by them in advance, and the purpose was to lure the Yue people to attack, and then seize the opportunity to attack the confidence of the Yue people!

Could it be that the people of the Yue Kingdom are really going to have a life-and-death showdown with the Wu Kingdom? Is this possible?

When the husband heard this, he smiled, but he also sighed, Da Sima and Lord Xiangguo are really clever! It's just that for the sake of today's plan, our grain and grass and baggage have been damaged by at least two percent, how can we fight this battle? We will not wait for the follow-up grain and grass to come up, and we will open it again? I am afraid that my father may not be willing to agree! He is now a little anxious and angry, and he is eager to destroy the Yue Kingdom immediately!

Prince, this is simply impossible, we had better prepare to retreat! Judging from the current state of the battlefield, the Yue people have already taken precautions, and it is impossible for us to sneak attack! If we attack strongly, we will camp our troops under the capital of the Yue Kingdom, but we are afraid that the attack may not be as desired! Therefore, Prince, your first task is to be ready to retreat! This Yue Kingdom is the most cunning, and we have to guard against them from leading us into the trap they have designed in advance! Therefore, your 10,000 horses can't be too aggressive, and must be stationed in Zuoling, so that we can attack and retreat, and we can be invincible!

After Wu Zixu finished speaking, seeing that he didn't think so, he smiled again, General Sun Wu had already judged that the Yue people would take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight with us, so, prince, we must not fall into the trap of the enemy!

"Well, okay, in principle, I agree with the strategy of Lord Xiangguo and Da Sima to use troops! Then, I will station troops at the border of Wu and Chu, if there is anything wrong with you, withdraw the troops immediately, we must not be taken advantage of by the Yueren! Gou Jian, that kid is very cunning, he is much stronger than Yun Chang, we should really have two more eyes!" Fu Cha finally agreed to Wu Zixu's suggestion.

Subsequently, the two of them summed up again, and included the transportation of grain, grass and baggage as the key objects of care, and sent heavy troops to grasp the passes everywhere, Wu Zixu was relieved!

The next day, when Wu Wang Lu heard that the Yue people dared to sneak attack the baggage of Wu State, he immediately became furious, and laughed: "This Gou Jian boy of Yue Country is dead, Lao Tzu is a lot bolder! Very good, haha, Xiangguo, it is better for us to directly attack the capital of Yue State, how about it?"

"King, I'm afraid it's not suitable! To go to the capital of Yueguo, we must go through Huiji, the terrain there is quite complicated, we are not familiar with the terrain of Yuedi, and it is not good for us to fight! So, king, our best strategy is not to go to the capital of Yueguo, but to deter Yueguo here, so that Goujian kid is cold, in this way, our goal has been achieved! King, we all want to destroy Yueguo, but this can't be done at all!" Wu Zixu hurriedly admonished.

Wu Wang Lu frowned, sighed, and thought for a while before he smiled: "Then, let's do this first! Well, this is not bad! Let's observe the movements of that kid in Goujian, I hope this kid still has some courage, otherwise, if he retreats in the capital of Yue Guoguo, we will be disadvantaged!"

As soon as his words fell, the soldiers had already come to report the military situation: "Great King, Gou Jian, the great king of the Yue Kingdom, has set up a position ten miles ahead, ready to fight us! General Ember asks the king, how should we act!"

"Fight, haha, this kid is a bit promising, better than the old boy Yunchang! Very good, I like it, then, let's teach this kid a lesson! Tell General Enber, let's not worry, when the soldiers are full, we will go to meet this Goujian boy who will cross the country! Haha, Xiangguo, you won't object, right?" Wu Wang Lu was already a little impatient.

Wu Zixu sighed and agreed with a wry smile!

Wu Wang Lu was refreshed at this time, and smiled, haha, then, we will hook that kid to see what tricks he wants to play, this kid is indeed much stronger than Yun Chang!

Subsequently, the Wu army was really unscrupulous and immediately set off for the meeting! However, the Yue Kingdom had already collided with it and put on the momentum of a decisive battle with the Wu army.

Wu Wang Lu took a look at the lineup of the Yue army, and immediately laughed: "Gou Jian boy, I thought you were out of luck, how do you know that you can't even set up a battle formation, like you, how can you fight? Haha, today, the widow will hand over how you can ambush! Soldiers, array!"

As soon as these words came out, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Wu immediately put out two ceremonial battle formations, the center was the command vehicle of Lu Lu, and on both sides were the escort troops of Wu Zixu and Enbai, the chariots were neat, the military flags were lined up, and the Wu soldiers looked at the Yue army formation like wolves!

They just waited for King Wu to give an order, and immediately charged into battle!

As soon as the prestige of the Wu army came out, twenty Yue State death row prisoners rushed out, holding steel knives in their hands, as if they were about to charge!

When Wu Wang Lu saw this, he frowned unconsciously: What does this kid want to do, and twenty people dare to come to attack his own Chinese army? Isn't this a joke? Is this kid crazy?

The same is true of the soldiers of Wu State, they don't know what this Yue people want to do, thinking that they are the death squad of King Goujian of Yue, and they are his strange soldiers, who deliberately put forward to charge!

Unbeknownst to this, these twenty people stopped two miles in front of the Wu army's formation, and then, one by one, proudly bid farewell to Goujian, the king of Yue, and then, they immediately killed themselves with swords!

"Ahh

Even the horses pulling the chariots couldn't help but let out a long neigh, as if they were also frightened!

"How is it? King Wu, how is my Yue people's heart to protect the country? Haha, King Wu, as long as you dare to attack, my Yue people will be like these twenty warriors, playing with you for their lives! Hehe, are you afraid? Wu people, you'd better go back to Gusu!"

Wu Wang Lu glanced at him, and then smiled: "Very good, Gou Jian, your kid is indeed stronger than your father Yun Chang! Very good, haha, but your soldiers can't do it, okay, warriors, rush with us! Our iron hooves will step on the capital of Yue Guo!" After speaking, he actually took the lead in charging.

Obviously, he had seen that the morale of the Wu State had been suppressed by the dead soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, and he had to take the lead in the expedition with the respect of the king, in order to improve the courage and combat power of the Wu people!

Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers of the Wu army saw it, their morale was immediately boosted, and at once, almost all the soldiers rushed out!

In an instant, a big war broke out!

The two sides went back and forth, fighting for two moments, after all, the soldiers of Wu were more brave and good at fighting, and they broke the chariot formation of the Yue Kingdom!

Seeing this, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, sighed, his ambition was frustrated, and he had to lead the soldiers of Yue to retreat!

When Wu Jun saw this, he was naturally overjoyed, and they all rose up and chased after him!

When Wu Zixu wanted to stop it, he still had the ability to stop it again? With a sigh, he had to pursue the Vietnamese army with Wu Wang Lu!

After only half an hour, they disappeared from the Yue army, and then they chased into the swamp of the Yue country!

"It's not good, it's a trick! Retreat quickly!" Wu Zixu was shocked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat!

But it's too late!

Yue Guo's arrows have been shot in rows, and many soldiers have been shot and killed by Yue Guo!

King Wu hurriedly reined in the reins of his horse and took the initiative to stop the pursuit, but they had already fallen into the trap of the Yue people!

Countless arrows, rolling logs, iron spikes, and other weapons of shooting and killing have been constantly attacking them.

In just a moment, the Wu army has lost no less than 5,000 people!

Seeing this, General Enbo was shocked, and hurriedly took the lead in leading a thousand soldiers to break the rear, and asked Wu Zixu to protect Wu Wang Lu and retreat!

At this moment, a flying arrow shot over, and just right, it hit the chest of King Wu Lu, and he fell headlong!

"Okay, refreshing, haha, King Wu is dead! Wu Guoren, go to die!"

General Ember had to lead his troops to resist desperately, but his morale was low, and one by one he was like a lost dog!

At this moment, King Wu Lu came to his senses, immediately pulled out Zhan Lu, and commanded the soldiers to continue the charge!

After fighting for another half an hour, they finally got rid of the entanglement of the Yue people and got out of the battlefield, and King Wu fell headlong!

Wu Zixu was shocked again, and hurriedly protected the chariot of King Wu and went to the border of Wu and Yue!

King Yue Goujian was overjoyed and happy: "Haha, refreshing, brothers, King Wu is finished, let's chase!"

All of a sudden, the morale of the Yue people came up, and they tried to catch up with the Wu army again!

Seeing that the state of Wu had been defeated like a mountain, and the soldiers had no combat power, they only fled blindly, when a group of men and horses appeared in front, and the prince of Wu sent 10,000 rear troops to meet them!

"Father, retreat quickly, I will stop the Yue army! General Enbo, retreat quickly, and we must not fall in love! Let's meet at Lingdu in front, and General Sun will be there to meet us!" said Fu Cha resolutely.
