Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 438 God-like opponent
At the end of the second month of spring, a coalition of [-] princes headed by Wu State continued to march westward after a brief rest in Baiju, preparing to pass through the vast Yunmeng Lake and attack Huanglong directly to take down the State of Chu in one fell swoop. Ying, the capital city.

It's a pity that Shen Zhuliang has long seen Wu's strategic intention.

Therefore, he did not place the battlefield near Yingdu, but concentrated his forces to build water villages in various waterways of Yunmengze first.

Where is Yunmengze?
Yunmengze, also known as Yunmeng Daze, is a place where the Chu kings of all dynasties specialized in hunting, and the area is quite wide.

Among them, there are various geographical forms such as mountains, forests, and rivers, and there is a lake named "Yunmengze".

Yunmengze is named after "Yunmeng", and the two do not refer to the same concept.

Because "Meng" means "lake" in the Chu dialect, and it is connected with "漭". Due to the sediment deposition of the big river, Yunmengze is divided into two parts, the north and the south. The vastness of water.

The Jianghan Plain is low-lying, with criss-crossing rivers and dotted lakes, and the Jingjiang River, known as the "nine-curved ileum", runs through it, forming a typical land delta landscape.

Huge depressions were formed during the period of crustal decline, and river water accumulated to form huge lakes.

At this time, the two armies of Wu and Chu were fighting an arduous battle in Yunmengze.

"kill!"

"Fire arrows!"

Up and down the water village, people are dying every moment.

The generals and soldiers of the Chu army in khaki-colored battle suits all stood on the water village one after another, shooting and killing enemy soldiers one after another with bows and arrows.

On the misty river, the coalition warships rushed towards the water village.

Wu's warships are not only large in size, but also fast enough.

"put!"

"Snatch it!"

On the deck of each warship, bed crossbows were placed one after another, relentlessly shooting crossbow arrows towards the opposite water village.

Some warships were directly equipped with trebuchets, and in an instant, hundreds of stone bullets were thrown towards the water village.

"boom!"

"Crack clap..."

The water village made of wood and bamboo poles is somewhat vulnerable.

Under the chaotic rocks piercing through the air, they all collapsed one after another, and were bombarded with big holes one after another.

Some unlucky soldiers of the Chu army were even smashed into meatloaf by stone bullets, bloody and bloody, and collapsed to death.

However, in the face of such a fierce attack from the enemy, the soldiers of the Chu army who were in charge of guarding the water village were fearless.

No matter how afraid they are of dying, they can only suppress the fear in their hearts and bite the bullet to fight the enemy.

When the warship of the coalition army leaned against the water village, the soldiers of the coalition army on the warship all set up ladders and climbed towards the top of the water village.

At this time, the Chu army began a formal counterattack.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Wave after wave of random arrows flew down, and the hard-to-defend coalition soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and they were shot into a hornet's nest.

"what!"

The mournful howling sound like killing a pig can be heard endlessly.

A soldier of the Wu army was already holding a shield to block more than a dozen arrows shot down by the enemy on the water village. He was about to climb the ladder, but suddenly a stone was thrown down from the water village.

Caught off guard, Wu Zu was immediately knocked down and fell into the rolling river.

Fortunately, the current is not turbulent, and falling into the river may not necessarily lead to death.

However, the resistance of the Chu army was very fierce.

The holes in the water village that had been broken by Wu Jun's trebuchets were also filled by the Chu soldiers in the water village with some sundries, making it difficult for the soldiers of the coalition army to break in.

A large number of soldiers of the coalition army were smashed under the water village, and suffered heavy casualties.

The people of Chu have a tough personality and good combat prowess, especially under the stimulation of this kind of Patriotic War, they all fight the enemy bravely like chicken blood.

There is no way out for them.

Behind them, there are countless children of Chu State, their relatives and friends, neighbors!
"Wu Dog! Go to hell!"

A Chu soldier was pierced through the heart by a spear and spit out blood, but he hadn't died yet, his eyes were still red, he hugged the enemy stiffly, and fell to the bottom of the water village together.

At this time, Chu people are undoubtedly very bloody!

Under the mobilization of Shen Zhuliang, the water village of the Chu army not only lay across the waterway, but also had camps on the land, waiting for the coalition forces to break through.

In order to avoid the surprise attack on the grain road, Wu Jun had to choose to break through his water camps one by one.

No matter how high the price of casualties is, it will not hesitate!

On the flagship, Qingji held the Longyuan Sword at his waist with one hand, and looked around. Looking at such a tragic battle, his face was quite dignified.

He knew that this battle would not be too easy.

Therefore, I have long been mentally prepared to pay a huge price.

In this battle, what Qingji hated the most was not Shen Zhuliang, but Bai Gongsheng who stood aside.

Why?

Because Bai Gongsheng killed the former Lingyin Nangwa of Chu State!

Who is Nangwa?
He is a rich man, but he can't stand the position and weight.

In the battle of Baiju in history, Wu Guo was able to win more with less and achieve such brilliant results, and Nangwa played the most important role in this.

At that time, the three kingdoms of Wu, Cai and Tang formed a coalition army, which was mighty and mighty. They followed the Huai River and continued westward, reaching Huairui.

Sun Wu suddenly decided to shed his boat and land, instead of going west to south.

Sun Wu selected [-] elite soldiers as the vanguard, and quickly passed through the three dangerous passes of the Great Tunnel, Zhiyuan, and Ming'e in the north of Chu, headed straight for the Han River, and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Chu.

Within a few days, he advanced to the east bank of the Han River and achieved a strategic surprise attack on Chu.

When the Wu army suddenly appeared on the east bank of the Han River, King Chu Zhao panicked and dispatched Ling Yin Nangwa, Zuo Sima Shen Yinxu, doctor Shi Huang, etc., to rush to the west bank of the Han River to confront the Wu army.

Zuo Sima, Shen Yinshu, in view of the fact that the troops scattered in various parts of Chu State have not yet assembled, it is easy to be defeated by the Wu army, and it is difficult to prevent the Wu army from breaking through the defense of Hanshui.

In view of the weakness of Wu's army going deep and not taking advantage of the land, it is advocated to give full play to the advantages of Chu's large number of soldiers and change from passive to active.

He suggested to Lingyin Nangwa that Nangwa should lead the main force of the Chu army to fortify along the west bank of the Han River.

And he himself led part of his troops northward to Shangfang City, turned around the side of the Wu army, destroyed his warships, and cut off his way back.

Afterwards, Shen Yinshu and Nangwa's main force carried out front and rear flanking attacks, annihilating the Wu army in one fell swoop.

This strategy, in essence, is not problematic.

If Nangwa really followed Shen Yinshu's strategy, maybe Sun Wu would fall!

However, Nangwa was worried that after the battle Shen Yinxu's contribution would be superior to his own, threatening his position as Lingyin, so he changed the plan agreed with Shen Yinxu to attack the Wu army without authorization, and led the army across the Han Dynasty without waiting for Shen Yinxu's army to arrive. Water attacked Wu Jun.

Seeing that the Chu army had taken the initiative to attack, Wu Guojun and his ministers adopted the policy of retreating to exhaust the enemy and look for an opportunity for a decisive battle, and took the initiative to retreat from the east bank of the Han River.

Nangwa hit the trick, and he swung his army to catch up.

The Wu army waited for work with ease, and fought against the Chu army from Xiaobie Mountain to Dabie Mountain, winning three battles and three victories.

Afterwards, Nangwa regrouped in Baiju and prepared to fight again, but he was unable to defeat the Chu army after all, was defeated, and fled to Zheng State by himself...

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates!

Qingji thought, if his opponent was someone like Nangwa instead of a famous general like Shen Zhuliang, maybe he would have been able to drive straight in, and the army would have reached the city of Yingdu!
