A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 64
Tens of thousands of ambush soldiers were all out, and Wu's army was chaotic in the pursuit. Marquis Wu issued an order to mobilize the army, but only a few thousand people around him obeyed.

The Huai army rushed down like a broken bamboo, and the Wu army's corpses were scattered everywhere they passed.Gongyang Shuo commanded the army to divide into three teams, cut the Wu army into three sections from the front, middle and back, and then led the last team of 4000 people to cut off the retreat of these Wu troops.

The Huai State army turned around and counterattacked, and the front chariot and soldiers that had just been chasing ran into the Tengjia army head-on.After a long-distance raid for forty miles, these Wu soldiers were exhausted, but the Huai country's Tengjia army was just a training session.

The Tengjia army had three arrows in front of the battle, and then formed a formation and went up, but the Wu army was exhausted and the formation was scattered. How could it be stopped?In just a moment, the Tengjia army was completely defeated.The Tengjia army did not slow down, and pushed back against Wu Jun.

Wherever he went, there was no single enemy at all.The Wu army was cut off from front to back, and orders could not be conveyed. The army fell into chaos, and there were a large number of new soldiers among them.Before chasing with high morale, who knows that in just a moment, the army was defeated, morale fell directly to the bottom, and there were countless people who fled in a hurry.

When the sun was about to set, the battlefield finally calmed down. Damaged chariots, mourning horses, corpses of Wu's army were scattered all over the field, and tens of thousands of prisoners were captured.

Marquis Wu was even more trapped in the army formation, relying on thousands of disabled soldiers to survive.It's no longer the high-spirited look it used to be.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of elites of the Wu Kingdom, once they are wiped out, the ancestral temples and society of hundreds of years are about to collapse. Lie Zong!" As he said that, he drew out the sharp sword from his waist and was about to kill himself to apologize.

"Your Majesty, don't do it." Li Fan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Wu Hou's arm tightly, saying, "Your Majesty, our army has been defeated and we cannot fight, but there are still tens of thousands of people in Meili, and tens of thousands of Chu's army is coming. , Your Majesty, don’t kill yourself lightly, or my country of Wu will be in danger!”

"I regret that I didn't listen to Qing's words, so that the army was wiped out. There are only people left in Meili, how can they defeat the Huai army!" Marquis Wu cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom were exposed to frost and dew through thorns and thorns. They already had a land of size. How could future generations dare to abandon it lightly? Please, Your Majesty, strengthen your will and put Wu's ancestral temple and society as the most important thing!" Li Fan said.

Wuhou barely cheered up, and then prepared to flee with hundreds of remnants.But how could Wang Sheng, the duck with its mouth full, let it fly away?

The reason why the siege did not attack before was because it was getting late, and there were still several remnants of the Wu army in the encirclement to resist.

Wang Sheng ordered these people to be surrounded. These Wu soldiers had no food, no tents, and they were exhausted, and they couldn't escape at all. If they stayed up all night, they could only obediently surrender.

The night was dark, and the surrounded Wu army wanted to break out of the siege. Unexpectedly, a net had already been laid outside. As soon as these soldiers approached, they saw rockets firing. A large number of soldiers were shot and killed, and the Wu army fled in embarrassment.

When it was dawn the next day, the summer was over, and the temperature was extremely low at night. Wu's remnants were frozen all night, hungry, thirsty and sleepy, without any strength, and surrendered one after another.As for those who did not surrender, they were also defeated by Huai soldiers in one battle.

Marquis Wu was captured together with several of his superiors.

The [-] elite of the Wu State were destroyed by the Huai State in the first battle. More than [-] were killed in the battle, and more than [-] were captured, and the rest fled.The entire country of Wu had almost no power to fight back.

"Hahaha, Wu's [-] army was wiped out in the first battle, and Xu Qing's first victory in this battle!" Wang Sheng said happily.

Xu Mao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This battle is entirely up to the command of the emperor, and the subordinates dare not take credit for it!"

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Xu Qing doesn't need to be modest, my son of the public family is one with the public office!"

"Your Majesty, we have won this battle, but Meili has not yet been captured, and there are still tens of thousands of them, so don't be careless!" Gongyang Shuo stepped forward and said.

"Marquis Wu has been arrested, why don't you let him persuade Meili to surrender?" Another official next to him said.

"Marquis Wu won't surrender, let alone persuade Meili to surrender."

"Your Majesty, although Meili is big, there are only a few strong people in it. It is not difficult to break it. The difficulty lies in the return of the people of Wu Kingdom." Gongyang Shuo said: "Besides, the army of Chu State has arrived. The army of Chu made a sneak attack."

"Then let Meili go for now, and deal with Chu's army first." Wang Sheng quickly made a decision.

Although there are tens of thousands of strong men in Meili, the capital city of Wu State, their combat power is low and they can only be used to defend the city. If they dare to leave the city for a decisive battle, Wang Sheng will probably wake up laughing from his dream.But even though he didn't intend to attack Meili for the time being, he couldn't ignore it.

Wang Sheng immediately selected a few high-ranking officials, let two teams of soldiers guard them, and took the captured Wu Guoban to Meili to persuade them to surrender.Then 5000 people were left to guard [-] unarmed prisoners.

In order to prevent these captives from rebelling, all of them were tied up with ropes, and only one third of the food was given.

In order to deal with the army of Huai State, Chu State sent [-] troops directly to help Wu State, but what Chu State never expected was that Huai State had wiped out all of Wu's [-] troops as soon as their army arrived in Wu State.

Qu Tong, who led the army of Chu State, heard that Huai State had wiped out the army of Wu State in a short period of time, so he didn't dare to attack for a while.However, if the [-] Chu troops retreated at this point, there was no way to explain it. For a while, Qu Tong was in a dilemma.

Wang Sheng led the army to come, and then formed an array to invite the battle.

Seeing that the Huai army was only half the number of the Chu army, Qu Tong decided to fight with a large army.The two armies faced each other, and the Chu army attacked, but the Huai army was not afraid at all.

The Tengjia army was the vanguard, assisted by military vehicles. In the first battle, they broke three battles in a row, and the Chu army lost three battles in a row. The Chinese army was almost pierced.He had no choice but to keep pushing the reserve team up to barely block it.

The Chu army's formation was shaken, and they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.In the next few days, the Chu army fought several times, but they lost more than they won, and lost thousands of battles with few results. The morale of the Chu army was low for a while.

However, he still did not retreat. Seeing the Chu army confronting each other, Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little headache.This Chu army general is very cautious, it should be said that he has been so cautious to the point of timidity.

Wang Sheng asked the army to deliberately leak some loopholes several times, trying to lure the Chu army to attack, but the Chu army actually held back, except for the first attack, which Wang Sheng used rattan armored soldiers to break through three battles in a row and almost collapsed. It's all about defense.

Wang Sheng didn't want to attack by force, so he had to fight him.

"This damned Qu Tong is really a coward!" Wang Sheng scolded.

"Your Majesty, the people of Chu backed down because they were afraid of the advance of our Huai army. Our army was victorious, and the Chu army did not dare to fight. Why don't we send people to sneak attack on their grain roads and force them to retreat?"

"Chu State was robbed and defeated because of the grain road last time. How could it make this mistake twice?"

"Your Majesty, it is not to cut off the Chu army's food road, but to make a gesture. If our army attacks its food road, the Chu army will panic!"

"I have a friend who was bitten by a snake. Later, when I invited him to drink, I found a snake shadow in the wine. When I went back, I fell ill. I felt that there was a snake in my belly. Later, I went to visit and asked why. It was discovered that the snake shadow was the bow arm on the wall, and my friend recovered on the same day."

"Because of the big defeat last time, the Chu army must be worried. Our army is armed with the power of a great victory, and the Chu army is terrified. If we send troops to attack the food road, the Chu army will definitely not dare to fight again, and retreat in a hurry! This is called the shadow of a cup bow and a snake! "
