Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 92

Qianyi.

"kill!"

Thousands of generals and soldiers of the Wu army braved the arrows shot by the enemy like locusts, rushing towards the city wall without fear of death.

Wu Jun has already set up a ladder, and countless sharp soldiers climbed up the ladder one after another, and headed towards the top of the city to kill!
Every time a burst of random arrows came, it could kill more than a dozen Wu soldiers who were defenseless.

Wu Zu, who was shot by the arrow, hadn't died yet, but his body was already falling like a kite with a broken string, and even knocked down some robes!
The generals and soldiers of the Chu army on the top of the city looked at a large area of ​​enemies, and they used bows and arrows, hot oil, stones, rolling logs and other things to attack, causing great damage to the attacking Wu army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the dull and loud cowhide war drum resounded through the sky.

At the gate of the city, dozens of generals and soldiers of the Wu army chanted chant, held up shields, and pushed thick battering rams, hitting Qianyi's city gate again and again.

Above and below the city, there was a moment of mourning, and blood flowed like rivers!
"Hold on!"

"Archer, come here!"

On the top of the city, a general of the Chu army, wearing gluttonous armor and blood-stained robes, is commanding the soldiers under his command to fight.

Whenever a general of the Wu army rushed up, he swung his sword and killed them immediately, beheading the enemies one by one under the sword!
This person is the son of Shen Yinshu - Shen Zhuliang.

After learning that the Wu Chu army was wiped out and the Wu people invaded Shudi again, Shen Zhuliang was ordered in the face of danger, and personally led the Yi soldiers to Qianyi, trying to firmly block the overwhelming Wu army and prevent it from advancing any further!
And seeing his own general so brave and not avoiding life and death, the soldiers of the Chu army around him were even more encouraged, their morale was boosted, and they killed the enemies one by one like a chicken blood.

The tenacity of the resistance of the Qianyi defenders was beyond Sun Ping's expectations.

It was getting late, and as a last resort, Wu Jun had no choice but to withdraw his troops and wait for the next day to fight again!
……

Wu Jun camp.

As night fell, Sun Ping and Fan Li entered the wounded barracks for inspection.

As far as the eye can see, they are all wounded soldiers missing arms and legs, blind or suffering other serious injuries!

They wailed loudly, or moaned in a low voice, but they all showed painful expressions, curled up like lobsters.

At this moment, seeing the miserable appearance of the wounded soldiers, Fan Li couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Grand Sima, we all underestimated the Chu people's will to resist."

"After repeated battles, the soldiers of our army have long been exhausted physically and mentally. Now they are frustrated in Qianyi and cannot advance an inch. The army lacks arrow clusters and cotton wool, and their morale is low. People's minds have changed. I am afraid that we cannot fight for a long time."

Hearing this, Sun Ping frowned and asked, "Uncle Shao, what do you mean...to withdraw the troops?"

"That's the only way. However, the withdrawal of troops is not something that can be achieved overnight!"

"That's why Da Sima might as well suspend the offensive on Qianyi, express his feelings to the king, understand the reason, and persuade the king to negotiate a peace with Chu. Presumably, with the wisdom of the king, he will be able to sympathize with the soldiers and let my Wu army retreat."

Sun Ping lowered his head and pondered for a long time, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.

Because the edict issued by Qingji was for Sun Ping to lead his army to conquer Shudi and Zhaoguan in Chu State, and now Shudi has been returned to Wu State, at least in name.

But the Zhaoguan Wu army does not have enough troops to take it down in one go!

And once the Wu army is blocked in Qianyi and unable to advance, there will be a steady stream of troops from Chu State rushing to Qianyi, and the situation of the Wu army will become very dangerous.

Even if the Chu army in Qianyi has no reinforcements, and lacks enough siege equipment and warm cotton wool, under such circumstances, the Wu army's offensive will be slow, and it may even collapse without a fight.

"Great Sima, now our army has captured Shudi and many towns along the river in Chu State. Although Zhaoguan has not been captured, Your Majesty will definitely not be held accountable."

Fan Li said in a slow voice: "Chu State, after all, is a great hegemony country, with profound background and too long depth. Although Chu State lost [-] soldiers in Wu, and its vitality is almost severely injured, it still has the power to fight!"

"If the battle against Chu ends in a stalemate, it will be very disadvantageous for our Wu army. At that time, let's not say that the captured cities and lands will not be guaranteed. I am afraid that our army will be lost in Chu!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ping couldn't help nodding his head slightly, thinking that what Fan Li said was not without reason.

Now the Wu army is almost powerless to fight any more, and they can't even take down Qianyi, an important town in the state of Chu. How can we talk about Zhaoguan?
If there is no progress in the war, the relieved Chu State will surely fight back, and the Wu army may be wiped out by then!

……

Chu State, Yingdu.

On the huge court hall, there are officials and officials standing on both sides, crowned with crowns and belts, holding a wat in their hands, looking at the nose with their eyes, the mouth with their noses, and the heart with their mouths.

On the majesty's platform, sat a boy of about ten years old, still childish, wearing a black and red-striped robe, wearing a sky-reaching crown on his head, fair complexion, and extravagant.

He is the current king of Chu, Xiong Ren (Jane)!

On one side of the Majesty's platform, there is a screen and a futon, on which sits a beautiful woman with various styles and extremely elegant and luxurious dresses.

This is Mrs. Meng Ying of Chu State.

Because Xiong Zhen was young and not deeply involved in the world, the state of Chu had to listen to the government under the curtain, and ordered Yin Nangwa and son Shen (Zixi) to assist in state affairs, so that Xiong Zhen could rule under the roof.

"Your Majesty, Guotai, the Wu army has been besieging Qianyi for many days, but it failed. According to Shen Zhuliang's report, the Wu army has fallen, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so they have to switch from attack to defense."

"That's why, Shen Zhuliang, please send more troops to support Qianyi, so as to retake the nine cities of Shudi and many cities along the river. After finishing his work, we will wipe out all the Wu army to the west of the river!"

Zixi was the first to stand up and report.

"Shen Zhuliang? But the son of Zuo Sima Shen Yinshu?"

"Exactly!"

Zixi sternly said: "Guo Tai, Shen Zhuliang inherited his father's ability to command troops in battle. After hearing that Wu Jun crossed the great river to attack Chu, he personally led the army to reinforce Qianyi, strengthen the city defense, and build fortifications."

"If Shen Zhuliang hadn't commanded it properly, I'm afraid that Qianyi has already fallen, and the hinterland of our Chu country will be exposed to the soldiers of the Wu people!"

Hearing this, Meng Ying nodded slightly, and said softly, "Shen Yinshu gave birth to a good son."

Meng Ying should be thankful that he didn't blame Shen Zhuliang, otherwise the Wu State's soldiers would overwhelm the border, and the Chu State would really not be able to find many generals to lead the troops to resist for a while.

Before, when the news came that the entire Chu army that defeated Wu and Chu had lost [-] troops, the state of Chu was in a state of panic, like a bolt from the blue!
Ling Yin Nangwa wanted to pursue the responsibility at the first time, so he asked Meng Ying to punish the general Shen Yinshu, but unfortunately the latter had already drawn his sword and committed suicide, apologizing with death.

After all, the crime of losing a teacher is too great, no one can afford it!

And it seems unreasonable to ransack the family of the dead Shen Yinshu.
