Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 78

The battle of Lize lasted until midnight, and ended with Wu Jun's complete victory!
In line with the principle of completing all his merits in one battle, Sun Wu led his troops to pursue the victory, chased and killed the Vietnamese army for [-] miles, beheaded more than [-] people, and captured nearly [-] people, achieving very brilliant results!
The Vietnamese army threw away their helmets and armor, fled in embarrassment, and went south without daring to stay for a moment.

Such a result made Sun Wu himself feel unbelievable!
Is the Wu army's combat power too strong, or the Vietnamese army's strength too weak?

Sun Wu didn't know.

When the news of Sun Wu's victory reached Zhenzi, Qingji couldn't help but smiled heartily and said: "Hahahaha, Sun Wu really doesn't fight if he doesn't fight, the first battle is amazing!"

"As the saying goes, fame in one battle is known all over the world. Sun Wu's name, after all, is to be known to the princes! Second and third sons, my country of Wu will have no worries!"

Qingji immediately passed the victory report in his hand to Heifu, Meng Ben and other generals on both sides to have a look.

At the same time, Qingji's heart was full of emotions!
Sun Wu is really worthy of being a man known as the sage of soldiers and the master of a hundred generations of military strategists. He really uses soldiers like a god.

If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster, and you are talking about people like Sun Wu!
Originally, Qingji only hoped that Sun Wu could defend the city of Wudu, and no matter how bad it was, he would stop the Vietnamese army for a while, so that he could finish off the Chu army on the eastern front as soon as possible, and then return to help Wudu.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wu was so powerful, he won more with less, and defeated the Vietnamese army in the first battle!
This relieved Qingji from any worries.

The balance of victory has completely tilted to Wu's side!
At this moment, after seeing Sun Wu's victory, all the generals of the Wu army couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Meng Ben said carelessly: "The Yue barbarians really can't help fighting! It's rare in the world to have such a defeat with twice as many troops!"

"Haha! What kind of combat power can the Yue barbarians have? They can also bully the barbarians in the ravines, and fight on the plains and wilderness. It's really not what the Yue people are good at."

"That's right. I have also fought against the Vietnamese army. These Yue barbarians are very aggressive. In terms of personal bravery, they are not inferior to my Wu soldiers. But when two armies fight, especially large-scale wars, how can the unruly Yue barbarians Is it that easy to schedule?"

Including Qingji, many Wu generals present could clearly understand the direct reason for the defeat of the Vietnamese army!

The commander's personal ability is secondary.

The most important thing is that the quality of the soldiers of the Wu and Yue armies is different!
Wu Guo imitated the military system of the Central Plains countries and learned the methods of military training of the Central Plains countries for many years. He has long since abandoned his original unruly habits, and he can basically follow the orders and prohibitions and obey the military orders.

Moreover, in the past [-] years, Wu State has fought against Chu State, or some neighboring countries. He has rich experience in warfare, and is especially good at fighting with large corps and fighting on plains!
Vietnam is different!
Most of the Yue people still retain the habit of drinking blood and refusing to obey the king. They can do it by obeying orders, but there are few battles with a scale of more than [-] people.

Yue Kingdom's perennial opponents are mostly barbarians in the valleys, which are not worth mentioning.

Although the Wu and Yue countries have fought many battles, they mostly fought in swampy and hilly areas, and they mostly fought on foot, so the Wu army seldom took advantage of it.

This gave everyone the illusion that the Wu and Yue armies were evenly matched in strength!

This is actually not the case, mainly depends on the environment of the battlefield.

And Sun Wu can see this just right, and make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses!

"Second and third sons, the Yue army has already fled to the south. In this disastrous defeat, more than half of the soldiers and horses of the Yue country have been lost, and they are no longer qualified to compete with my Great Wu!"

Qingji looked around, looked at the generals on the left and right sides, and said slowly: "The Chu army is at the end of its strength. An order has been sent to the whole army to bury their pots and cook food, recharge their batteries and prepare to attack the Chu army's camp tomorrow!"

"promise!"

Qing Ji wanted to complete his achievements in one battle, but he might as well give Chu Jun and Shen Yinshu a chance.

Therefore, Qingji edited another letter and asked someone to hand it to Shen Yinshu, the general of the Chu army, so that he can disarm and surrender, otherwise the next day's battle will cause even greater killings.

This is the rule of courtesy first and soldiers later!

Of course, Qingji hoped that Shen Yinshu would lead his army to surrender voluntarily, otherwise the Wu army would inevitably die and injure more people when there was a big battle.

Night falls.

When Shen Yinshu received Qing Ji's handwritten letter, he couldn't help falling into silence.

Is it war?

is down?

Shen Yinshu still didn't make up his mind.

However, no matter what choice he made, the fate of the Chu army's disastrous defeat and the annihilation of the entire army are irreversible!
So far, there are still more than [-] Chu troops, but they are already unbearable.

The hungry soldiers of the Chu army had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, but this was still a drop in the bucket, and it wouldn't last long!

There are quite a few soldiers of the Chu Army who are starving to death now, Shen Yinshu sees them all, and it hurts in his heart!
Although the Wu army has only [-] to [-] people, the victory is that it is a battle-ready soldier with high morale.

In the next day's battle, the Chu army, who was almost powerless, faced the wolf-like Wu army, how could it not be completely defeated?
Shen Yinshu, who was still hesitating, immediately walked out of his sleeping tent and inspected the camp.

At this time, the entire Chu army camp was like a stagnant water, and the silence was terrifying.

The originally valiant and high-spirited soldiers who followed Shen Yinshu to attack Wu were all like the eggplants beaten by Shuang, with their heads shrugged and listless.

They curled up on the ground like quails, and from time to time they could hear their stomachs gurgling, which was very ear-piercing!
The generals and soldiers of the Chu army hardly have the energy to speak at this point.

Go into battle?

It is not easy to be able to wear armor and carry weapons.

Perhaps even a ten-year-old boy could kill one of the Chu soldiers with his bare hands.

They are all sons of my great Chu!

Shen Yinshu's heart was full of grief.

"Brother! Brother!"

At this moment, there was a burst of crying not far away.

Shen Yinshu looked around and saw that a soldier had fallen to the ground, breathless, he was starved to death!

Shen Yinshu didn't see such starving soldiers these days.

Shen Yinshu's heart became more and more tormented, more and more colic!
"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows

"Let's go home! I really want to taste the rice wine from my hometown."

"General, surrender, surrender!"

"Bastard! I would rather die than surrender to Wu Manzi!"

"General, fight with Wu Jun! The villain would rather die on the battlefield than starve to death as a worthless!"

Seeing Shen Yinshu's figure, the soldiers of the nearby Chu army all spoke with bitter expressions, and the rush of words made Shen Yinshu feel sad for a while.

In such a desperate situation, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but there are also soldiers who can put life and death aside and want to die on the battlefield, rather than surrender to the Wu people.
