A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 153
The main force of the Chu army was assembled to deal with the [-] navy led by Zhong, Cai, Huang, Jiang and Wu Zixu.

Especially the [-] sailors were all elite Huai troops, and the Chu army fought against them in three consecutive battles, losing all of them.Although Wu Zixu's commanding water army was not fast upstream, he won consecutive battles, and Chu State was under great pressure.

After the king of Chu learned that the leader of the army was Wu Zixu, he was even more flustered.Wu Zixu's father and brother Wu's family were all killed by homicide.This time Wu Zixu came back with the Huai army, and he made it clear that he wanted to kill him for revenge!

The king of Chu immediately dispatched a large army to block the water army commanded by Wu Zixu.The Chu State navy was defeated several times by the Huai army, and finally in order to stop the Huai army from continuing to go north, wooden stakes were dug into the river to prevent the Huai State navy from going upstream.And released fire boats on the river to stop the Huai army.

Facing Huai State's massive attack, Chu State was forced to resist in this way.

However, although the method was very shameless, the army of the Huai State was blocked, and the State of Chu breathed a sigh of relief.As for the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, they were originally biased to contain the power of Chu.

The army of Chu State gathered, and after seeing the Huai State Navy being blocked, they breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to mobilize elite troops to fight Huai State back.

Sun Wu ascended the heights and looked far away. At this moment, his eyes seemed to have crossed the boundaries of mountains and rivers, and he saw the capital of Chu State thousands of miles away, and a huge topographical map of mountains and rivers appeared in his mind.

In the next second, Sun Wu suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately said: "The army is going out, the target is Yingdu, let's go!"

Sun Wu and Qingji commanded [-] elite troops to advance first, followed by [-] troops, and went straight to the south of Xinyang.The army broke through three passes in a row, Qingji took the lead and was unstoppable, the Chu army was defeated in a row, and the three passes could not stop the Huai army.

Yingdu of Chu State.

The originally prosperous Chudu became very depressed because of the war, and there was a faint sense of panic.The bustling streets became deserted.

The king of Chu is discussing with his ministers how to defeat the Huai army.This time the Huai State launched a large-scale attack, and the Chu State suffered consecutive defeats. Many soldiers of the Chu State were terrified.

"Now that the Huai army has been blocked on the river, we should concentrate our superior army and annihilate the elite Huai army here!"

"A [-] army encircled the Huai country, and the Huai country's lone army went deep. As long as our army cuts off the river, these Huai troops will be the turtles in the urn! Then the army will follow the trend, cut off the north and south of the Huai country, and annex Wuyue!"

In the main hall, the momentum disappeared for a moment, as if the Huai army would be encircled and wiped out in the next second, and Chu would be victorious.The monarchs and ministers of Chu State are full of hope for the next war.

"Report!"

"Military emergency report!"

A chariot galloped past the north gate of Yingdu. Three flags were planted on the chariot, which was an urgent battle report.The chariot went on a rampage all the way, straight into the palace gate.Then, under the leadership of the guards, he hurried to the main hall.

"Xinyang urgent report!"

"General Sun Wu of the Huai Kingdom, Qingji, attacked Hanshui from the south of Xinyang, broke through three passes in a row, and our army was defeated in a row! The Huai army came straight to Yingdu."

After hearing the news brought by the herald, the originally bustling hall was instantly silent.

"How is it possible? There are [-] guards at the three gates. With the gate in hand, how could it be breached so easily!" Da Sima said immediately.

"Besides, isn't the Huai army blocked by us on the river?"

"Yes, troops were stationed at Sanguan not long ago, why was it breached so easily?" King Chu was also shocked.

"Your Majesty, the Huai army is brave. Qingji takes the lead. There are Huai people in the pass to cooperate. The Huai army is attacking from inside and outside. Our army is invincible and defeated!"

When the King of Chu heard this, he was stunned, and the wine jue in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

In the main hall of the royal palace, almost all the nobles of the Chu Kingdom changed their faces drastically. The three barriers were broken, and there was no obstacle before the Huai Army.

Everyone who was still sitting peacefully panicked at this moment.

The king of Chu was also panicked by the news. Fortunately, he had also participated in many battles, and he knew that the more he was at this time, the less he could be chaotic, so he forcibly calmed himself down.

"Your Majesty, the Huai army is brave and has reached Yingdu. Your Majesty, please move to another capital and send another army to meet the enemy!" Ling Yin Zichang said.

"No, at this critical juncture, if Your Majesty withdraws, the morale of the Yingdu army will suddenly lose its morale, and the three armies will no longer have the will to fight!" Da Sima hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty can't put yourself in danger!" There was an argument in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Huai army has less than [-] troops, and they have traveled thousands of miles. The soldiers are exhausted. If our army can guard the Han River, the Huai army will not last long. At the same time, we will send a part of the army to go north, detour behind the Huai army, and cut off the rear. The way, when the army comes out together, the Huai army will be defeated!"

"But if Your Majesty leaves first, the army will definitely be panic-stricken and unstoppable!"

"Your Majesty, the Huai army is only more than [-] people, and Yingdu guards [-] troops. Then let the nobles and nobles draw private soldiers, a total of [-] troops, and at the same time order the army that is coming to Hanshui. With tens of thousands of people, and with the help of the navy, how can the Huai army win?"

After some persuasion, the King of Chu finally gave up his plan to move the capital immediately, and ordered Yin Zichang to be commander-in-chief and Shen Yi to be the deputy commander-in-chief. .At the same time, the Chu army recruited from all over the country was also handed over to its commander.

Ling Yin Zichang led the army to set up defenses on the west bank of the Han River, while Shen Yi commanded another army to detour northward, preparing to outflank the Huai army and cut off its retreat.

The two sides agreed on a time to launch together, and then parted ways.

The Huai army marched all the way, and soon came to the east bank of the Han River.At this time, the Chu army had already set up camp on the west bank of the Han River.

Sun Wu was not surprised to see the Chu army camping. The Huai army had already entered the Hanshui River, and the Chu army must have been panicked. It's the art of war!

Originally, Sun Wu thought that the Chu Kingdom would not be able to hold on, but there were always people who thought he was very smart.

Chu general Wu Lie and doctor Shi Huang saw that the Huai army was really only more than 1 people, and they immediately felt that they could lead the army to defeat the Huai army, and they persuaded Zichang: "This plan is offered by Shen Yi. If the Huai army is defeated, Shen Yi will be credited." The biggest one, Shen Yi will definitely be promoted to Lingyin, what will you do then?"

After hearing this, Zichang also found it very reasonable, so he accepted the suggestion of Wu Lie and the doctor Shi Huang, and took advantage of the fact that the Huai army had just arrived here, and directly crossed the river to attack the Huai army.

So Sun Wu saw a very strange scene. The Huai army had just arrived at Hanshui, and the Chu army actually crossed the river to attack.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wu laughed and said: "The destiny is in the Huai River! You gentlemen follow me to kill the enemy!"
