A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 22
Tens of thousands of elite Huai troops were in dire straits, and the morale of Bang Zhou's army was low.The Huai army rushed left and right, and the Zhou army had no power to fight back.

The defense line of the army was easily torn, and then the Huai army's elite rushed in along the breach, and the entire formation was washed away.

The Zhou army attacked the city for days and suffered heavy casualties. Their morale was already low. The Huai army recharged their batteries and waited for work with ease. Their combat effectiveness was almost worlds apart.

In particular, one of the Huai army's elite troops rushed straight to the Zhou army's camp, and the horses stepped on the joint camp, and directly cut down the big banner that the emperor of Zhou had not taken away from the Zhou army's camp.Then I heard the Huai army shouting: "Zhou Tianzi has run away, Zhou Tianzi has run away!"

The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and it was difficult to deliver messages. After hearing the shouts of the Huai people, they all looked at the big banner in the camp. The big banner had disappeared, and the already low morale suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The former general of the Zhou army commanded the army desperately at this time, trying to block the Huai army, but facing the wolf-like Huai army, Zhou Jun had no chance.Soon the Zhou army began to be defeated, leaving only the former army leader commanding hundreds of people to form an formation to protect themselves.

Wang Zhao raised his hand, and three rows of archers immediately emerged from the gaps in the formation, shooting arrows at the Zhou army's formation.After the three waves of arrow rain, more than half of the hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured, and the originally tight formation was riddled with holes.Without the slightest pause, the army rushed up immediately, completely engulfing all the Zhou troops.

After defeating the Zhou army's former army, Wang Zhao left some people to guard the prisoners, and then led the army to continue the pursuit.

Although Zhou Jun had already left for one night, the army did not go far.The rivers in the land of Huaisi are crisscrossed, and the movement of military vehicles is inconvenient, and the speed of the Zhou people's army is not fast.

The Huai army drove quickly, and caught up with Zhou army in two days.After seeing the retreat of the Zhou army, the Huai army did not attack, but followed not far or near.When Zhou Jun left, the Huai Army followed. Zhou Jun turned around and wanted to attack, and the Huai Army immediately retreated. Anyway, they didn't give Zhou Jun a chance to fight, and they kept hanging behind Zhou Jun.

Seeing the Huai army following closely like tails, Ji Bi wanted to turn around and fight the Huai army several times, but failed several times, not only failed to attack, but wasted energy in vain.

Ji Bi was in vain, and Yu Ke had no choice but to leave a part of the army to confront the Huai army and let the army continue to move forward.But seeing the division of the Zhou army, the Huai army immediately rushed forward and defeated the Zhou army. Just as the Zhou army was about to turn around and attack, the Huai army did not love to fight. After defeating the remaining Zhou army, they withdrew again return.

Seeing that the Huai army was not fooled at all, Zhou Jun had nothing to do.It took Zhou Jun five days to cover half of the distance of only two hundred miles.What is even more worrying is that the army is running out of food and grass.

When the army was at a critical moment, Ji Bi couldn't hold on any longer, and could only wait for death if he stayed here. In the end, he had to leave the army with hundreds of guards and fled lightly.

After learning that the emperor had escaped, the morale of the Zhou army collapsed.Wang Zhao took this opportunity and directly ordered the army to attack.After successive defeats and being abandoned by the emperor, the food and grass were gone. Under the impact of the Huai army, the Zhou army was about to collapse at the touch of a touch, and there were fleeing Zhou troops everywhere.

Tens of thousands of troops disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, Zhou Tianzi, who fled in embarrassment, finally came to the rear army under the escort of hundreds of guards.At this time, the rear army had reached the banks of the Huaishui River, but the pontoon bridge above the Huaishui River had been burned, and the Zhou army camp outside Siyang City was also breached, and the Zhou army's rear army was firmly blocked on the north bank of the Huaishui River.

The situation has reached a critical juncture, and there are less than 2 troops left in the [-] army.And the Zhou army, which is less than [-], has become a frightened bird.

After receiving the message from Yu Qing, Qi State and Lu State immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly called the army to go south, but most of the army in the country had been transferred by the emperor, and the remaining combat power was really worrying. The army of the princes of the country gathered together an army to come to reinforce.

When the army came to the south bank of the Huai River.Bangzhou's army was left with only the rear army lingering on the north bank of the Huai River.In the Huai River, the navies of the Huaihe and Xu countries cut off both sides of the Huaihe River.

Bang Zhou's army could not cross the Huai River at all.

Marquis Qi has also fought for many years, and his military ability is not bad. Seeing this situation, even if he was mentally prepared, he was stunned. The army of [-] states and Zhou was wiped out.Such a big defeat has shaken the foundation of Bangzhou.

In the end, there were only more than 1 rear troops left in the Eastern Expeditionary Army. If there is no rescue, the entire army will be wiped out.

Immediately, Marquis Qi didn't care too much, and the navy summoned from Lu and Tan wanted to confront the Huaixu navy.Seeing this situation, Wei Yi commanded the navy to retreat a little.

Lu Guo and Tan Guo saw that the Huaixu navy retreated, leaving a part of the navy to confront the Huaixu navy, and immediately sent ships across the river to rescue the Zhou army.

And what Wei Yi was waiting for was this opportunity. The navy came to the shore to rescue the Zhou army. Although the remaining navy was no less than the Huaixu navy, they could only protect it outside.

Wei Yi immediately gave an order, and dozens of fast boats were released immediately. The fast boats were filled with firewood, firewood, and dozens of sailors drove the boats straight to the large ships of the Lu and Tan navy, halfway through the journey. Afterwards, the vessel was set on fire at the same time.Then jump into the water.

The fire boat rushed towards the Lu and Tan water troops like an arrow leaving the string, and saw the fire boat approaching rapidly.The face of Lu Tan's navy changed drastically, and they maneuvered their boats to avoid it.

However, although the Huai River is wide, it is not the Yangtze River after all, and it is not enough for so many ships to avoid.Several large ships that could not escape were hit by the fire boat.Some fire boats passed through the defenses of the Lu Tan navy and hit the ships transporting soldiers.

In order to avoid the fire boats, the naval forces of Lu and Tan countries suddenly became chaotic, and even some boats leaked out of the side.Wei Yi immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the navy to attack.

The navies of the Huaihe and Xu Dynasties took the opportunity to push forward, and the ships went down the water, crashing into the side of the Lu Tan navy.

The boards on the side of the ship made a loud crash, the boards broke, and a large amount of river water swarmed in.The soldiers on board were knocked upside down, and a large number of soldiers fell into the Huai River.

The morale of the Huaixu water army was high, and the army went down the river like a broken bamboo.Ships collided, and arrows rained like rain. The two countries of Lu and Tan were not good at naval forces, and this temporary naval force was beaten and retreated steadily.

At the same time, the boats used to pick up people also suffered disasters. They were either hit by fire boats or burned down by arrows fired by the Huaixu water army. Few people were able to cross the river.

After a water battle, the naval forces of Lu and Tan were almost wiped out.

Even more shocking news came that the boat Ji Bi was on sank.It was a coincidence that when the ships from Lu and Tan came to pick up the people, Ji Bi, who was already frightened, boarded the ship and wanted to escape, but the Huai Xu water army rushed down, Lu Tan was defeated, and Ji Bi's ship was captured. The Huai State navy broke through directly, and Zhou Tianzi Ji Bi fell into the water and disappeared.

To be violent and have no relatives is called assassination; to be violent and arrogant to the three princes is to be assassinated; to be violent and arrogant to have no relatives is to be called assassination;Ji Bi violated Zhou etiquette, was arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and self-willed, causing heavy casualties to the Zhou Dynasty. After his death, he was posthumously named King of Zhou. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty · King Zhou's Attack on the Huaihe River"
