Chapter 2624 Chai Rong defeats Shi Gonghu

Chapter 2620: Chai Rong defeats Shi Gonghu, I wish Rongyuan Shengjingguan

Brother and sister Chi You and Zhu Rong are both violent tempered. When they refused to give in to each other, they quarreled when they disagreed, and when they quarreled, they fought again.

Seeing this, the guards next to him were more afraid to step forward. After all, Chi You and Zhu Rong had been fighting since they were young, and it was quite normal for them to fight between brothers and sisters.

However, Chi You was seriously injured at this time, so naturally he couldn't be Zhu Rong's opponent.

Zhu Rong was furious, but he also had a sense of proportion, and he didn't dare to hit his brother hard. Without using his internal strength, he punched down with a few big arms around him, which directly knocked Chi You into a daze.

"The slap in the face is too much." Chi You said angrily.

Zhu Rong sneered and said, "Your mother saved your life, why did you hit your face?"

"I……"

Chi You was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhu Rong also accepts as soon as he sees a deal, but he is extremely happy in his heart. After all, his brother doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade. She has been beaten by her brother since she was a child, and now she finally came over.

Seeing his brother staring at him and not speaking, Zhu Rong became even happier, and said sarcastically: "Brother Wang, you are hurting yourself by being angry. You are hurting now. If you die of anger, then I am the only one who can inherit the South The throne is over, I don't want to take over this mess."

"Hmph, don't worry, even if I really die, it's not your turn to inherit the throne of King Nan." Chi You snorted coldly.

Zhu Rong looked at Chi You with a half-smile, "That's not necessarily true."

Chi You immediately wanted to refute, but then he thought about it, it is really possible, and the possibility is not low.

After all, the Southern Kingdom is not the Central Plains, where strength is the most important thing, and the status of women is not low. In the previous tribal era, it was not that there were no female leaders.

At present, Zhu Rong's family only has their brother and sister, two only seedlings, and he had concentrated on martial arts before and had no heirs. If he is gone, only his sister, a woman, can succeed him.

After all, my younger sister has also made a lot of contributions, and her prestige in the army is not low, and the dog licking Gonggong must also be willing to support her to become queen, so as to please her.

Thinking of this, Chi You felt more and more helpless, and at the same time, he wanted to get married and have children more urgently. After all, besides himself, the only member of the huge southern royal family was his sister, which was indeed a bit too dangerous.

I hope the princess sent by Daqin to marry is a good woman.

Chi You thought to himself, he naturally hoped to marry a wife with pure character and noble blood, but if this princess had bad intentions, then he could only give her a high price and leave her in the concubine's room. offspring.

"Humph."

After Chi You snorted coldly, he said to Zhu Rong slightly annoyed: "You really want to piss your brother off and become the queen of the Southern Kingdom, don't you?"

"As long as you don't interfere with my mother's life-long affairs."

After saying that, Zhu Rong turned his head and left,

Hearing Zhu Rong's words, Chi You said with a headache on his face: "But sister, you are not young anymore, you are going to marry after all, and besides Gonggong, who else can be worthy of you among the young talents in my southern country?" ?”

Chi You was right when he said that, apart from Gonggong, there really is no one in the Southern Kingdom who is a good match for Zhu Rong, and it is precisely because of this that he will match the two of them.

It's just that Chi You didn't expect that his sister had no feelings for Gong Gong, who was excellent in all aspects. Did he really agree with the saying that fire and water are incompatible?
After hearing this, Zhu Rong rarely refuted, and fell into deep thought. She knew that it was impossible for her to marry outside, but there was really no one she liked in Nanguo.

Zhu Rong left without saying a word, Chi You neither stopped nor stopped him.

Since Zhu Rong disagrees with the plan of marrying on two days off to help Gong Gong break through, even Chi You can't force his sister to sacrifice herself, so he can only look for breakthroughs in other ways.

Fortunately, this time he severely injured Xingtian, preventing him from participating in the battle, and the morale of the Shu army also plummeted, so he could no longer pose a fatal threat to the Southern Army in the short term.

On the other hand, on the Southern Army side, although Chi You is still absent, there are Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, Fei Lian, and Ping Yi, who have already surpassed Shu in terms of high-end combat power, which can completely offset part of the lack of troops.

In the next few confrontations, Chi You found that not only Xing Tian, ​​but also Lu Ya did not participate in the battle. Guessing that Lu Ya's injury was worse than expected, he immediately organized an army to fight back.

However, Liu Yu seemed to have expected this long ago. He shrunk his troops ahead of time and gave up many strongholds, so he didn't suffer much casualties.

But when Chi You regrouped and prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the lost ground in one fell swoop, he received news that the Eastern Front was in urgent need.

Li Xiucheng and Cao Can's 3000 Chu troops had not yet arrived at Shengjing Pass, but lost no less than [-] troops due to miasma, wild animals, mosquitoes, etc., and lost their way several times in the jungle.

If it weren't for Cao Shen's rich experience in fighting in the jungle, the [-] Chu troops who crusade against the southern country might collapse due to lack of food.

Under the leadership of Cao Shen, the Chu army moved in the right direction and gradually approached the Southern Kingdom Shengjing Pass. However, the marching speed of the army was not fast, and the harsh environment kept morale low.

Cao Shen and Li Xiucheng knew that this was not the way to go. The morale of the army was so low that even if they reached Shengjing Pass, facing the Southern Army who was waiting for work, it would be difficult to break through Shengjing Pass.

Just when Cao Shen and Li Xiucheng were feeling very difficult, Shi Gonghu, the gatekeeper of Shengjing, offered an assist.

Shi Gonghu saw that the Chu army had already touched the territory, so he eliminated several small-scale troops, and continued to harass the Chu army on the way, slowing down the marching speed of the Chu army, and at the same time using the harsh environment to drag down the Shu army.

There is nothing wrong with Shi Gonghu's decision, but it is a pity that not only Cao Shen but also Chai Rong are in the Chu army.

Chai Rong offered a plan to show his weakness, and deliberately defeated several battles in order to draw out the Nanguo army in the pass of Shengjing, and encircled and wiped them out with the plan of ambush.

As Zeng Jin's Nanman Elder, Shi Gonghu is naturally a man of both civil and military skills, but his opponent this time is indeed too strong, he can handle one, but three are a bit too reluctant.

Shi Gonghu saw that the three attacks were successful, and he also burned the Chu army's grain carts, but the morale of the Chu army was indeed low, so he let go of his vigilance, and prepared to lead [-] defenders to attack the Chu army at night and wipe them out completely. rout.

Shi Gonghu was full of confidence in this night attack, but what he broke through was only an empty camp. Although he realized that this was an ambush by the Chu army, it was obviously too late.

The Chu army ambushing all around came out together. Although the morale of the Chu army was low, the strength of the Chu army was more than five times that of the Nanguo army. How could it be an opponent under the ambush of the [-] defenders?Soon after being beaten, they retreated steadily until they were completely defeated.

Shi Gonghu resolutely chose to break out of the encirclement. Relying on his understanding of the terrain, although he fled back with more than a thousand soldiers, the remaining nearly seven thousand troops died in the ambush of the Chu army.

After the Chu army experienced this great victory, their morale immediately recovered, and they swaggered towards Shengjing Pass.

On the other hand, the Nanguo Army had [-] defenders at Shengjingguan, [-] of whom died in the battle, and only [-] defenders remained. The situation became extremely critical in an instant.

Shi Gonghu quickly ordered to abandon the surrounding camps and Wubao, take back a thousand soldiers to defend the city, and at the same time send letters to Chi You for help.

Chi You in the southern Sichuan battlefield, when he heard the news that the Eastern Front was in a hurry, that Shi Gonghu had been defeated, and that there were only [-] defenders left in Shengjing Pass, but he had to face the news of more than [-] Chu troops, he was naturally very anxious.

After some discussions, Chi You decided to send only [-] reinforcements back, and at the same time lead [-] troops from the rear, a total of [-] troops to support Shengjing Pass.

The reason why Chi You only sent 3000 people there was naturally because the troops on the northern front were tense and could not spare more troops to support the eastern front.

As for who to lead?Just when Chi You was hesitating, Zhu Rong took the initiative to ask for orders to lead the army to support the Eastern Front.

Chi You didn't alienate his sister because of the previous fight. He knew that the Eastern Front not only lacked soldiers, but also lacked a strong future to boost morale. Although Zhu Rong is a female general, but his strength can be ranked among the top three in the Southern Kingdom, he agreed. Satisfied Zhu Rong's request for leadership.

Zhu Rong led [-] troops to the south and turned back to support Shengjing Pass, but the Chu army that had arrived at the pass had already launched a fierce attack on Shengjing Pass.

Although Shengjing Pass is not very majestic, it is built in a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It occupies a favorable location. Even if the Chu army is ten times larger than itself, it will take a lot of effort to break through it.

For the Nanguo Army, the real problem in defending the Shengjing Pass is actually an internal morale problem. After all, the entire army has reduced its personnel by [-]%, and the morale of the Nanguo Army is already very weak.

Fortunately, Shi Gonghu, an elder, was very much loved by the low-level soldiers. Every time the Chu army attacked the city, he would personally participate in the battle, relying on his personal prestige to forcibly appease the turbulent morale of the army.

Zhu Rong led [-] reinforcements, and after ten days of hasty marching, he finally arrived at Shengjing Pass.

But at this time, the pass was filled with smoke. It was obvious that the Chu army had entered the pass, but they had not completely captured the pass. The Nanguo army was still resisting in the pass.

Shi Gonghu defended Shengjing Pass for ten days, and he had completely run out of ammunition and food. More than half of the defenders in the city were killed or injured, but they still fought to the death.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong was also very grateful. It was only a little bit short, and Shengjing Pass would not be owned by the Nanguo Army, so he decisively led the army to enter the pass to support.

The armies of Chu and South fought fiercely for a whole day in Shengjing Pass, and both sides also suffered great losses. Zhu Rong defeated Fan Kuai, Wei Wentong, Gai Yan and many other powerful Chu generals in a row, and beheaded Many generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, including: Yan Wang Lin Qirong and Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang.

Li Xiucheng and Cao Jian couldn't win Zhu Rong with so many strong generals, and their own army suffered more and more casualties, and their morale was getting lower and lower. Only then did he take the initiative to choose to retire and rest.

Although Zhu Rong expelled the Chu army from Shengjing Pass, he also lost nearly [-] troops for this, and Shi Gonghu also died at the hands of Chai Rong after being injured by Fan Kui.

Just as Zhu Rong was fighting Chu State at Shengjing Pass, Yang Xiuqing was also fighting with the Ruan Yue coalition forces in Jiaozhou.

Yang Xiuqing did not obey Liu Xiu's order to defend Rinan County with [-] Chu troops. Instead, he voluntarily gave up five counties in Rinan County and two counties in the south of Jiuzhen County, a total of seven counties, and concentrated his troops to defend Jiuzhen to the death. The three counties of Xupu, Jufeng and Wugong in the north of the county.

The reason why Yang Xiuqing would do this is naturally that after seeing the military appearances of the Ruan and Yue armies, he knew that the Ruan and Yue armies were no longer what they used to be, and he still imagined five thousand against seventy thousand, ten thousand against one hundred thousand as before. Not like it anymore.

If Yang Xiuqing follows Liu Xiu's order and sticks to Rinan County and waits for reinforcements from Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan, even if the army is wiped out, they may not be able to wait for reinforcements. It is better to give up the barren Rinan County and the southern counties of Jiuzhen County to ensure the state. The essence of Jiaozhi County, while lengthening the logistics supply line of the Nguyen-Vietnam coalition forces.

The Ruan Yue coalition forces won the land of two counties and seven counties without a single soldier. Naturally, they were overjoyed.

Although these two counties do not have much population, it is already an unprecedented victory to snatch the territory from the Chu State.

If it weren't for the envoys of Qin and Nan to dissuade them, the Ruan and Yue countries might be able to fight each other.

After the Ruan and Yue countries divided up the two counties, they continued to lead their troops northward to attack Xupu City, the seat of Jiuzhen County.

This time the Chu army did not give up, but defended the city.

After the Ruan Yue coalition forces stormed Xupu City for ten days and lost nearly ten thousand troops, Yang Xiuqing voluntarily abandoned Xupu City and retreated to Jufeng City.

The Ruan Yue coalition forces stormed Jufeng City for another [-] days and lost more than [-] troops. Yang Xiuqing also gave up Jufeng City again and chose to retreat to Juwugong City.
