A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 7 The Battle of Huai River
On the banks of the Huai River, tens of thousands of troops gathered here.

After a day of repairing, the coalition forces of the princes began to prepare to cross the river.This time, the allied forces of the princes had already prepared for crossing the river. The craftsmen made [-] boats and hundreds of rafts in advance.More soldiers who are familiar with water will lead them across the river.

The river crossing operation was divided into several batches, and they crossed the river from three river bends.Zijue only had 500 people in his hands, and these people could only guard one ferry, and the Qi army marched in three directions.Even if Zijue tried his best to stop the two ferries, as long as one of the ferries successfully crossed the river, he could only retreat.

The Qi coalition forces dispatched 5000 people into three teams for the first time, and crossed the river from three ferries.For a while, there was a lot of people on the Huaihe River, and Zijue led the soldiers to make a tentative attack. Taking advantage of the fact that one of the troops had just crossed the river and had not yet gained a firm foothold, he took the opportunity to attack.

Attacking halfway across the river, even though the opponent was prepared, they were still thrown into chaos by Huaiguo, with countless casualties. If the other two teams had not already crossed the river, Zijue was worried that he would be surrounded. overwhelmed.

Seeing that the Huai army retreated in an orderly formation, Qiu Mu did not let the army pursue, but commanded the army to cross the river. It took a whole day for more than 2 people to cross the river on horseback. By the time everyone crossed the river, the sky had already dimmed.

Immediately, Jian Guoqiu Mu ordered the army to set up camp, and in order to prevent the sudden flood of the Huai River, the camp was still erected on a high place. Simple beacon towers were built every five miles.It can be said that all conceivable methods are blocked.

Zijue was also a little surprised to see that the Qi coalition forces were so vigilant.It's just that Chu Mu's behavior is still useless after all.

The golden crow hangs down to the west, and the jade rabbit rises to the east.As the night darkened, Zijue gathered the nobles and armored soldiers in the Huai army camp on the south bank of the Huaihe River, and then boarded the high platform prepared long ago to prepare for offering sacrifices to heaven.

Everyone was very confused about Junshang's act of offering sacrifices to heaven at night, but they didn't say anything.

Soon Zijue took the stage to offer sacrifices to heaven:

"Born with a mysterious bird, descended to give birth to Shang, the people of Zhou were despicable, they sneaked up on me, and Yin and Shang collapsed. Now we are moving south and living here, Qi Shi came to attack us in vain, trying to exterminate us, inheriting the destiny alone, although Qi Shi has many people There are many people, but we have the help of God, if we don't do our best, the destiny will abandon us, and the Huai country will not exist, and the people of the country will become slaves of the Zhou people.

I don't think anyone is willing to be a pig and dog slave to the Zhou people!Gu has already received the oracle from the sky, and tonight there will be a sky fire falling into the camp, to help our army, this battle must be won! "

When everyone heard that Zijue said that one day the fire fell into the camp, they were all in shock.At this time, Zijue turned on the system, then chose to use the Skyfire Card, set the time and place, and began to wait quietly.

Time passed by, and a quarter of an hour later, a light flashed in the sky, and a meteor was seen across the night sky in the next second.What is surprising is that the meteor did not pass away in a flash, but flew towards them instead.

Soon, under the astonished eyes of everyone, the meteor in the sky came from the east, and the flames illuminated the entire night sky, and the sky and the earth were suddenly as bright as day.This strange sight made everyone stunned, and what was even more surprising was that the meteor seemed to have eyes, and it fell towards the camp of the Qi State Allied Forces on the south bank of the Huai River.

Everyone in the Huai country army was stunned, and everyone realized that the sky really sent down fire to help.The morale of the entire Huai Army battalion was raised to the extreme at this moment. Even if there was an army of [-] in front, these soldiers dared to rush forward to fight to the death without hesitation.

The surrounding ministers were also stunned by the meteorite, and the fire from the sky made them immediately believe that Jun Shang Zijue was a person favored by heaven.

Meteors streaked across the sky in a blink of an eye, flames rose, and countless sky fires fell from the sky into the camp of the Qi army.The camp that was resting suddenly burst into flames.

This can be said to be a catastrophe for the coalition forces of the princes of the Qi State. In this era, there is a superstition. The sky fire fell into the camp, which directly made people think that they offended the sky and were punished.

The entire camp turned into a sea of ​​flames, and many people were burned to death before they could run out of the tents in time.What is even more frightening is that the camp was bombed.

The camp, which was already extremely chaotic, was bombed again, which made things worse.But Jian Guo Qiumu, Lu Guo Gongzi Boqin and other nobles saw the sky fire falling into the camp, their expressions changed drastically, and several of them suddenly turned pale.One of them couldn't help but said: "Heavenly fire fell into the camp, could it be that the group of Yin Shang survivors really got the destiny?"

Boqin said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Yin and Shang have lost their destiny. King Wu defeated Zhou and Fengming Qishan. Our country Zhou has already won the destiny. This is a natural disaster, not the destiny!"

Before the words fell, there was a burst of killing shouts outside the camp.

"The people of Zhou were punished by the heavens, and the heavenly fire came down to the world, kill them!"

"Heavenly fire has descended into the world, we have the protection of heaven, and we will win this battle! Go!"

In the dark night, the flames flickered and shone, and there were shadowy figures everywhere. The shouts of killing came from all directions, and there seemed to be countless people besieging in the dark night.The coalition forces of the princes of the Qi State were already in chaos, and countless people were fighting in the chaos.

Jian Guo Qiu Mu and Lu Guo Gongzi Bo Qin yelled to stabilize the soldiers and form a defensive formation again, but except for a few guards around them, everyone was in a mess and could not be controlled at all.

"Your Majesty, the general situation is over, we can no longer form a defensive formation, the army's morale is already in disarray, I can't wait for long, let's retreat!" Seeing the chaos in the camp, the guards around quickly persuaded.

"There are still people in the country, your majesty must not be trapped here, and please put the country first and evacuate quickly!" These guards ran towards the bank of the Huai River, pulling the prisoner Qiu Mu and son Boqin.

The camp of the Qi State was in chaos, but the people in the Huai State were full of voices, and the surrounding ministers couldn't be more excited: "Heaven bestowed a destiny, and sent down fire from heaven to punish the people of Zhou. This is the time for us to win a big victory, my lord!" Please give an order quickly to destroy this Qi army!"

Zijue immediately shouted: "Everyone forms a team of a hundred people, form an array to attack the Zhou army's tent, and the archers are ready to throw their rockets! Everyone shouted, "Heavenly fire has descended into the world, and the sky is guilty!"

The four hundred archers divided into two teams and began to shoot at the Qi camp. The rockets fell, and the camp became more and more chaotic.At the same time, Zijue let the guards around him with a force of more than 90 be used as arrows to rush into the Qi army camp.

These warriors with a force value of up to [-] are all invincible fierce men. With a sweep of the bronze dagger in their hands, they can directly knock out a soldier of the Qi State with his armor. The shattered internal organs spurted out wildly, and the bronze spear slashed left and right, and there was no enemy at all wherever it passed.

The Qi army was already in chaos, and under the leadership of these warriors, the Huai army took advantage of the chaos to attack, and it can be said to be invincible.This army was originally a coalition of princes, and it was not one body. After being attacked by sky fire and directly bombing the camp, it was already in chaos, without any discipline at all.

Cannibalism, trampling and countless deaths, the Huai army in the dark night is like the messengers of hell, everywhere they pass, corpses are everywhere.The army of the Huai State chanted slogans, and they were invincible. Arrows rained down, and countless people died.The entire battlefield has completely turned into a one-sided massacre.

Yi led a [-]-man team straight to the commander's tent in the center of the camp, and there was not a single enemy in the pass.The Qi army was scared out of their wits, and the Huai soldiers with high morale were very fast. More than ten teams of soldiers were like more than ten sharp knives, dividing the fat of the Qi army camp.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Qi's coalition forces collapsed completely. Countless people threw away their weapons and fled. In the dark night, many people ran to the Huaihe River, but except for a few people who had boats, more people directly fell into the water.

The archers kept shooting arrows at the fleeing chaotic army, and the army covered up all the way. In the short distance from the camp to the Huai River, there were corpses all over the field. The blood stained the ground red, and the blood penetrated the soil. The ground was muddy. One year, Huai River was dyed red again.

The sky gradually brightened, the Golden Crow rose eastward, fighting all night, the dead lay on their pillows, floating corpses littered the Huaihe River, the river channel was silted up, and the Qi coalition forces were completely defeated.

The Huai army beheaded countless people, the bronze daggers were broken, the blades were cracked, and the arms of the archers were swollen.But everyone is full of excitement.In a fight, the Huai army had almost no casualties, while the Qi coalition army was littered with corpses.

The sun shone down, and there were corpses of the Qi coalition army everywhere. Besides these, there were also a large number of captives, even nobles.Last night, except for Qiumu and Boqin who escaped under the protection of their guards due to bad knowledge, the other nobles were either killed or arrested, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

Qi's coalition forces numbered more than 8000, of whom [-] died from cannibalism, were burnt to death, [-] were drowned in the Huai River, [-] were killed, and [-] surrendered. Thousands escaped for their lives.

And not all of these people fled to the north of the Huaihe River. They couldn't tell their direction in the dark, and many of them fled to other places. The fate of these people is probably not much better, and it is very likely that they will not survive.

Zijue did not let the army cross the Huaihe River to continue the pursuit. Although the morale of the Huai army was high, they were still exhausted from fighting all night. Although the strength of the northern countries suffered heavy losses, they were not something his thousand men could defeat.

Immediately take it away as soon as it is ready, and then direct these prisoners to clean up the battlefield and rescue the luggage at the same time.

This time, the Qi coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, and tens of thousands of corpses lay in the wilderness. If they were not dealt with as soon as possible, it would easily cause a plague.Relying on the medical skills of this era, once a plague occurs, it is almost impossible to die.

Several thousand graves were dug around the Huaihe River, which were quickly filled with corpses and then buried. There were even too many corpses, and Zijue ordered them to be set on fire directly.

A big battle came to an end.

——In the fourth year of Wang, the Qi Nationality Alliance, and the Huai River.It was night, a meteor fell into the camp, and the fire from heaven fell into the world, as bright as day, and the whole camp was burned, and the officials were terrified, saying: "I am guilty of the sky, and I will collapse."King Jue sent troops and won a big victory, and the dead of the Qi division fell asleep.
