I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 222 Chapter 246 Chapter 247
After Sun Wu took out the trump card of King Chu's Token, how dare Chao Niuchen, the main guard of the city, have any doubts?Immediately, according to Sun Wu's arrangement, the gate of the outer city was opened.

At this time, Zhu Fan, king of Wu, who was stationed outside the city, saw the lowered flag erected directly on the city tower of Chaoyi, and saw that the city gate was slowly opened. He immediately thought that there was a rebellion in the city of Chaoyi!
Turning his head, King Wu Zhufan immediately summoned his troops, quickly gathered [-] Wu troops, and crushed them to the city of Chaoyi in a mighty manner.

Wu Wang Zhufan walked in the forefront, turned around, and looked proudly at the more than 1 Jiangdong disciples under his command, and shouted:
"Good men of the Wu Kingdom! The final battle to win Qunshu is today!"

As I said just now, the occupation of Chao State is obviously of very important strategic significance to Wu State.

If Chaoyi could be taken down without bloodshed, in the eyes of the Wu people, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Jianghuai region.

Hearing King Wu raised his arms and shouted, Wu Jun, with more than 1 people, also raised his arms and shouted!The momentum was so violent that it seemed that the entire nest city would be submerged in the next second.

Seeing this, Zhu Fan stopped hesitating, moved the accessories forward in front of him, and after a loud roar, he rushed straight into the city at the head of one.

At this time, hundreds of Wu troops who were closest to Wu Wang Zhufan, under the leadership of Zhufan, also rushed into the gate of Chaoyi together.

Because the Chu army had already retreated for dozens of battles before, Zhu Fan at this time had already believed that this was the defeat of the Chu army, and Chaoyi had already become an isolated city. Now that something happened in the city, it must be difficult. It has become a climate.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the defenders of Chaoyi at all, and he didn't know that Sun Wu had entered Chaoyi quietly, so his movements could be said to be as fast as a tiger, and he rushed into the city almost without thinking. in the door.

But when he entered the outer city gate, when he saw another city gate not far away, he suddenly felt bad.

"Not good! It's Urn City!"

Zhu Fan, king of Wu, never expected that Chu people, who had always disliked city building the most, actually built a city gate with an urn in Chaoyi!
Why is it said that Chu people logically dislike building cities the least?There are actually several reasons for this.

On the one hand, the people of Chu have been choosing strategic expansion for hundreds of years.This caused him to never defend. Since he didn't need to defend, he naturally didn't need to build a city.

On the other hand, this is actually the consistent style of Chu people.Because Chu people have always had the habit of moving their capital.Almost all the successive monarchs of the Chu State had to move their capital at least once.

Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State moved its capital frequently, and the number of locations is even more dazzling. According to the records of the later "Chu Ju", the Chu State clearly moved its capital to Qiuying, Fanying, Weiying, and Daying. , Pang Ying, Qi Ying, Lan Ying, Mei Ying, etc., and these are only a small part of the list.But from here it can already be seen that Chu State is indeed never tired of moving the capital.

Since Chu people love to migrate so much, they naturally left the impression that they "don't like building cities" to the world.

Therefore, Wu Wang Zhufan never expected that the Chu people would build a city defense fortification with an urn in Chaoyi.

Seeing this, he knew he had been fooled, so he hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the surrounding city walls.

At this moment, countless archers suddenly appeared on the wall of the outer city where only lowering flags were originally erected. At this moment, all of them bent their bows and set up arrows, aiming at the Wu army who had rushed in.

On the wall of Wengcheng, a bright red Chu army flag was whistling in the north wind.

"withdraw!"

Zhufan knew that he had hit the trick, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave.

However, how could Sun Wu miss such a good opportunity?

Just listening to his order, countless arrows pierced through the air on the four walls, and the Wu army under the wall immediately fell like grass!

On the other side, just at the gate of the city where Wu Jun rushed in, the [-] Chu troops arranged by Sun Wu long ago were like divine soldiers.

The thousands of Wu troops who had rushed into the city had no way to fight back at this moment when they were being attacked from the front and back, and more than half of them were killed or injured immediately.

Under the cover of the guards, Zhu Fan retreated while avoiding the rain of arrows, but the archers on the tower did not intend to give up at all.

In just two breaths, the guards around Zhu Fan were all dead and injured, and the screams echoed one after another in the narrow city walls, making people feel horrified.

At this time, Sun Wu, who was sitting at the head of the Wengcheng, waved the command flag in his hand. The Chu army at the gate of the outer city received the order, and immediately rushed back into the city, forcing the Wu army who wanted to rush out to come back. Then he backhanded to close the city gate.

"Defend the gate!"

Zhu Fan shouted, wanting Wu Jun behind to guard the city gate.

But at this time, the Wu army outside the city was also without a leader, and it had already been completely messed up.Wu Jun, who was trapped in the urn city, was shot by the archers standing on the city wall, covering their heads and running around, looking for a place to avoid the rain of arrows.Everywhere he could see was howling, but where could anyone hear his screams?

Seeing this scene, Zhu Fan's heart suddenly turned cold.

But there was still a strong and unyielding look on his face, he didn't know where he came from, he raised a wooden board to block in front of him, and rushed to the city like an arrow from the string. At the gate, he alone went straight into the Chu army stationed at the gate.

Because a large number of Chu troops gathered at this place, the archers on the city wall did not shoot wildly, so Zhu Fan no longer had to worry about the cold arrows behind him.

But the cold arrow was gone, but before he could catch his breath, the Chu army had already charged from all sides.Because these people were the core of this strategy trained by Sun Wu himself, they did not carry long weapons such as Geji, but all replaced them with short knives to facilitate fighting in such a narrow area.

The Chu army's blades were sharp, and they greeted Zhu Fan at the same time.

Zhu Fan's knowledge was not good, and he immediately drew his sword to meet the enemy. After the battle, dozens of Chu soldiers were knocked to the ground by him.

However, the life and death of dozens of Chu troops could not prevent the remaining Chu troops from attacking in turn. After all, what they wanted to capture now was the famous King Wu Zhufan!Therefore, all of them rushed towards Zhufan without hesitation.

Zhu Fan is now a bare-handed commander. It is needless to say how valuable his head is. It is said that there must be a brave man under a lot of money, not to mention that the Chu army has long been fed up with Wu Jun's slippery behavior. It's already itchy with hatred.

So, at the gate of the city, Zhu Fan was surrounded by hundreds of Chu troops alone.

Even so, Zhu Fan forcibly guarded the gate of the city with his own strength!

At this time, those Wu Jun who were not shot to death by the arrows also reacted. They saw that their monarch was fighting alone at the gate of the city. Their morale was boosted, and they rushed towards the gate of the city one after another. The Chu army stalked together again.

However, the weapons in their hands obviously limited their performance.Between the outer city of Chaoyi and the Wengcheng, the terrain is inherently narrow, plus there are too many people on both sides, there are not many places where people can stand, so how can their long weapons be used?

Therefore, once the two sides fought, the Wu army faced the siege ahead, and was attacked by the enemy. Countless Wu troops fell at the gate of the city.

However, the Wu people are eager to survive after all, and the number of Chu people fighting with them in the Wengcheng is also not dominant, so they can only barely occupy the city gate and prevent the Wu army from withdrawing.

At this time, Wu Wang Zhufan once again staged a real "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open" to everyone present.

Seeing that he went straight into the Chu army alone again, the Wengcheng defenders saw that they were about to be overwhelmed, so they immediately shouted to close the city gate quickly, so as not to get away from King Wu Zhufan.

But when Zhu Fan saw this, he didn't know when he had an extra halberd in his left hand. He used the halberd to prop against a city gate, and stood in place to prevent the gate from closing. His Chu army was completely repulsed.

He stood at the gate of the city like a killing god. People came to kill people, and Buddhas came to kill Buddhas. No matter how the Chu army attacked, they couldn't force him back.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Zhu Fan stood against the city gate, never allowing the gate to close, and then turned around and shouted, telling the remaining Wu army to withdraw quickly.

Those Wu troops who were still fighting bloody battles with the Chu army, heard the king's words, immediately rushed towards the gate of the city, ducked through Zhufan's halberds, and withdrew from the city.

But at this moment, there are still many Wu troops fighting with the Chaoyi defenders in the city. They were shot by the archers on the tower and ambushed by the defenders below the tower. The casualties were quite heavy, and there were very few people who could walk , and the remaining ones were either dead or lying on the ground wailing and screaming. There were only four or five hundred Wu Jun left in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Fan's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenching loudly, and his face was filled with resentment and anger.

"God damn Chu people!"

He only heard an angry roar, dropped the halberd in his hand and wanted to go out from the city gate.

Even with the invincible courage, he knows that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If you stay in the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. It is obviously the best choice to retreat now.

Chapter 247_ The Invincible Sun Wu

After King Wu and Zhufan easily recaptured Shujiu, they continued to defeat the Chu army for more than ten battles. They took it for granted that the Chu army was really withdrawing.However, as the saying goes, when the truth is false, the falsehood is also true. Zhu Fan, who had won the numbness, could never have imagined that Chaoyi would be another trap carefully arranged for him by the Chu army.

Thousands of Wu troops fell into the trap together with him, and in the end only a few hundred people left hurriedly withdrew from the gate of the outer city of Chaoyi.

The rest were either shot to death between the outer city and the urn city by random arrows, or the Chu army who came to besiege were killed at the gate of the city, and the hill piled up by Wu army's corpses was completely destroyed. blocked the gate of the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Fan's eyes were bleeding, he knew that the game was over and he was powerless.

However, just as he was about to withdraw with the Wu army who had narrowly escaped death, Sun Wu appeared outside the city like a heavenly soldier, with a three-foot long sword across his chest, blocking him abruptly .

"God damn Chu people!"

As early as the battle of Shujiu, he had met Sun Wu.

At that time, he was under the leadership of Sun Wu, and the three thousand Chu Kingdoms were light feet. While withdrawing, he sang the song of Chu in front of his face, and after being severely humiliated by him, he finally became angry and caused The soldiers pursued, and finally fell into ambush and almost died.

Seeing Sun Wu again at this time, the situation he was in was somewhat similar to before.

Sun Wu stood on the chariot like this, looking at him with almost pitiful eyes, as if he had never cared about this war in his calm and breezy appearance.

How could the always irritable and conceited King Zhu Fan of Wu endure such humiliation?Immediately, he picked up the halberd in his hand again, led the Wu army who broke out, and more than a thousand people from the Wu army who entered from outside the city, and went straight to Sun Wu to launch the final breakout.

In fact, at this moment, there are only hundreds of elite Chu troops left under Sun Wu's command, and the rest are defended by him on the periphery.Therefore, when facing the invincible Zhufan attacking them, these hundreds of Chu people who came only with Sun Wu couldn't help but feel a little timid.

After all, Wu Jun has been aroused with a strong desire to survive at this moment. Anyone who stands in front of them and hinders their escape will probably be overwhelmed by their aroused killing intent.

But there was no fear on Sun Wu's face. Seeing Wu Wang and Zhu Fan leading his team rushing towards him, he became more and more excited!
"Soldiers of Chu State! Form your formation and capture King Wu alive!"

Seeing that Sun Wu drew his sword out of its sheath, hundreds of Chu soldiers immediately formed strange formations in twos and threes outside Chaoyi City, either round or square, or fighting front and back, or fighting left and right. Under his command, it seemed that thousands of people were fighting on their own.

And these Chu soldiers, after hearing the commander's sentence "capture the King of Wu alive", their momentum was also high for a while.

The first wave of Wu Jun's charge quickly met them. Although the first wave of Wu Jun was small in number, these Wu people all held a long spear in their hands, so it should be possible to attack them in the vast terrain outside the city. They have a greater advantage, they roared ferociously, and their long weapons drew arcs in the air.

The smoke and dust outside the city of Chaoyi was immediately overwhelmed by the deafening shouts of killing.

"Ding!"

The sound of Jin and Ge intersecting suddenly sounded, Wu Jun's fierce attack met the Chu Army who was waiting in full formation.

I saw the Chu army fighting hand-to-hand with short weapons. With their tacit cooperation, the formation of twos and threes immediately put Wu's long weapons in the air. After hearing the first drumbeat, the Chu army immediately Moving closer to the center of the battlefield again, short weapons rushed out from the crowd, continuously assassinating the rushing Wu army.

As a result, the originally fierce Wu army could not effectively display the power of their long weapons, and their superiority in numbers also lost their edge because of Chu's "breaking the whole into pieces".

Because the Chu army's small formation moves faster and more sensitively, coupled with the mutual cooperation, often when the Wu army rushes to the front, they will cooperate with each other to kill the nearest enemy, and then look for ways to cooperate with each other. The cooperating small formation of the Chu army, going back and forth like this, directly completely resisted the first wave of Wu army's impact.

This is the best proof of Sun Wu's keen grasp of changes in the battlefield situation.

He knew that Wu Jun would definitely burst out with unimaginable courage and combat power when he was escaping, and a person's will to survive must not be judged by common sense.

Therefore, he did not choose to let the Chu army deploy a regular one-character formation to meet the attacking edge of the Wu army, but chose to break it up into pieces and let the Chu army form a star-point formation that had been trained long ago.

Divide the impact of the Wu army, and then use the advantage of short weapons to eliminate the Wu army who wants to break through.

Although Wu Jun was also very tough, but in front of the Chu army who was waiting in full force, their toughness, which they were all proud of, seemed to be just a kind of recklessness.Even if he is killed in battle, it seems that it is just like a mayfly shaking a tree.

After all, the five thousand Chu troops led by Sun Wu this time can be described as the best of the best!After [-] days of training by him personally, it can be said that he has grasped the essence of this camp.

Therefore, although there were only a few hundred Chu troops, when facing the Wu army twice as large as their own, they almost took over the wave after wave of Wu army at the cost of zero loss.

Zhu Fan looked at Sun Wu in disbelief, his hand holding Ge Ji couldn't help shaking slightly, he felt fear for the first time.

He has always been conceited, and he has never felt fear at any time, even when facing the ambush of more than 1 people led by Wu Ju, he has never felt this way.

However, at this moment, when he saw the hundreds of Chu soldiers led by Sun Wu, they were like gods descending from the earth, standing motionlessly opposite him like a mountain, forming a high wall that he seemed impossible to overcome. wall.

He had never felt that kind of heavy, calm, but rather cold murderous aura.It was as if in front of this person, the life and death of these Wu Jun had already been doomed.Any resistance has become futile.

Facing Sun Wu like this, Zhu Fan felt "fear" in his heart for the first time.

He looked at Wu Guonan who had fallen on the ground, and then at Sun Wu who was still indifferent. The Geji trembled more and more in his hand.

"The sons of Wu!"

"Let's fight to the death with the widow!"

He held on, tried his best to cover up the fear in his heart, and used roars to embolden himself.

I saw him brandishing his halberd and rushing straight towards Sun Wu.

And Sun Wu also drew his sword out of its sheath, jumped off the chariot with no expression on his indifferent face, and walked quickly towards Zhu Fan's position.

"Ding!"

Zhu Fan still had the advantage of having a long weapon, and with his immense strength, he almost knocked the bronze sword in Sun Wu's hand to the ground with one blow.

However, Sun Wu didn't care. He turned his head and immediately stabbed straight at him. The bronze sword in his hand stabbed at Zhu Fan at a rather strange and tricky angle. At this time, Zhu Fan's back was completely exposed to Sun Wu's. within the stabbing range.

"what!"

Wu Wang Zhufan was stabbed to the thigh and fell to the ground in an instant.

He hastily swung the halberd again to sweep across his body, but who would have thought that Sun Wu dodged Zhu Fan's halberd again with a low body, the bronze sword slanted out and pierced Zhu Fan's arm again.

"what!"

The shrill screams immediately moved the rest of the Wu army. They rushed towards Zhufan desperately to rescue them, but they were stopped by the Chu army who had been waiting for a long time. The final decisive battle will also follow.
