Competing

Chapter 467 Mysterious Cavalry
When Du Shang came to see Wu Mei, the guards of Jiujiang Kingdom looked at Du Shang with a very complicated expression.

They are very grateful that these people appeared to save them, but until now they still don't know who these people are?Will it work against them?The fighting power shown by these cavalry just now made them very surprised.Even if the iron cavalry of the Western Chu Kingdom were no match, people like themselves were even less worth mentioning.

There was gratitude and vigilance in their eyes, but after thinking about it, at least these people would not harm the lives of the Queen and the Crown Prince, so they were relieved a lot.

Du Shang stepped forward and said, "Du Shang, Lieutenant of the Cavalry of the Yue Kingdom, is visiting the Queen of Jiujiang!"

Vietnamese?
All the Jiujiang guards, including Wu Mei herself, were a little shocked. What's going on?

Why would the Yue people appear here strangely?They also rescued them, and they were even more astonished by the combat effectiveness of the Yue cavalry.

Wu Mei came from a wealthy family and was also the Queen of Jiujiang King. Although she was surprised by the current situation, she still had composure and insight.

"Thank you Captain Du for saving your life!" Wu Mei thanked in a deep voice.

Du Shang said: "The queen is too polite. The last general was ordered by the king of Yue to rescue the six counties, but he happened to find that the Chu army was chasing his wife, so he came to rescue her!"

The king of Yue rescued the six counties?Wu Mei remained skeptical about such an answer, but it was an indisputable fact that she saved her, and she immediately said, "Thank you King Yue, but it's a pity...does General Du have any news about King Jiujiang?"

Du Shang replied: "This... the last general has sent people to inquire about the news, but there is no return yet. Now the land of Huainan is mostly dangerous, so please ask the queen and the prince to follow the last general to Jiangdong for temporary shelter!"

"To Jiangdong?" Wu Mei felt a little sudden.

Du Shang said: "Yes, the land of Huainan is very unsafe now, maybe the army of Chu State will come over after a while. So please ask the queen and the prince to go to Jiangdong for a while and wait for the news of the King of Jiujiang."

Wu Mei's original intention was to continue to Hengshan, but Du Shang suddenly proposed to go to Jiangdong. She could see something behind this matter.Going to Jiangdong, there is no problem with safety, but I don't know if the king of Yue has any other goals, and my husband will undoubtedly throw a mouse trick.

In such a situation, what should we do?Continuing to go to Hengshan Kingdom is obviously not possible, if people like Du Shang are not killed, it is naturally feasible.But now, the Chu army has suffered a lot of losses, if he still appears in Hengshan country.The Chu army might think that it was Hengshan who sent troops to rescue the murderer, which would undoubtedly bring disaster to his father.

Now that her husband's side has been ruined, and her father's side can't have any more problems, Wu Mei had no choice but to nod her head, and temporarily followed Du Shang to the country of Yue.When the guards saw the queen nodding, they naturally had nothing to say.

Seeing Wu Mei nodding, Du Shang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If she didn't agree, it would be a little difficult. At that time, he had no choice but to show courtesy first and then fight.Now this is naturally the best, it can be said to be the best of both worlds.

This place is not far from the river, and several large ships of the Yue State Navy have already been waiting here, on the one hand to meet Du Shang and others, and at the same time to guard against the Chu army's pursuit.

After they landed, the big ship immediately left the shore and headed towards Jiangdong.When the sun was high, Wu Mei stood on the deck of the big ship, feeling very complicated.She looked at Jiangbei, wondering what was going on with her husband now?What will it be like to go to Jiangdong? From the few small things today, it can be seen that the strength of the Yue Kingdom is not what it used to be, and it is extremely powerful.

I heard that during this period of time, the Yue army had marched westward, and all the land of Jiujiang State in the south of the river fell into the hands of the Yue State. They knew each other from this, so naturally they didn't have time to take care of it.Now it seems that it can only be regarded as the price for the other party to save him, and maybe he will lose more. In short, the land of Jiangnan is lost forever, and Jiujiang Kingdom no longer exists.

……

Not long after Du Shang and others left, an army of about 2000 people appeared at the place where the battle took place. They came from Hengshan Kingdom in the west, and the leader of the army was Wu Chen, the crown prince of Hengshan Kingdom.

Seeing the bloody battlefield suddenly, Wu Chen was very surprised, who on earth was fighting here.

After his subordinates went forward to investigate, the results they brought back made his heart feel cold. Some of the corpses were court guards of Jiujiang Kingdom.Afterwards, a large number of corpses of the Chu army were found, and Wu Chen was very surprised. What happened here?
What does it mean that the palace guard of Jiujiang Kingdom died here?The sister's family may appear here, but who exactly happened?The corpse of the Chu army shows that the Chu army chased here and there was a fierce battle.

Where is my sister's family now?Are they okay?Could it be that they were hunted down by the Chu army when they wanted to escape, and were arrested and returned?
Seeing the broken carriage, Wu Chen had an ominous premonition in his heart.

But then someone came to report to him, and found that the corpses of the Xichu army were several times that of the Jiujiang army. What is the situation?
Was it the Chu army chasing and killing, the Jiujiang court guards fighting back with desperate guards, and the Chu army kidnapping Wu Mei and others after paying huge casualties?
Or did the Jiujiang reinforcements arrive at the end and annihilate Chu's pursuers?

For a moment, Wu Chen couldn't figure out what was going on, what was the safety of his sister's family?It made him even more worried.

He originally wanted to continue to investigate deep into Huainan, but an unfortunate news came that a Chu army was rushing in this direction.

Father Wu Rui repeatedly told him that he could only save people and not encounter the Chu army. In this situation, he must evacuate as soon as possible.

Wu Chen sighed helplessly, and led the troops to retreat quickly to Hengshan.

A few hours later, a group of Chu troops rushed here, the leader was the general Long Qi, and beside him was a dejected Xiang Sheng.

After Xiang Sheng suffered a disastrous defeat last night, he quickly fled the battlefield and went back to report to Long Qi.

Long Qi was also taken aback. He was surprised by such news, and at the same time, he was very interested in this mysterious cavalry with extremely powerful combat effectiveness, so he came to investigate in person.

"Is this the place?" Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Long Qi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes?" Xiang Sheng nodded in agreement, then asked in surprise, "Where's the war horse?"

Long Qi said indifferently: "War horses are rare treasures for any prince now. I heard that Liu Bang is now buying horses and organizing cavalry in Xingyang."

Xiang Sheng lowered his head involuntarily. In the battle last night, more than 2000 people were lost, and more than [-] horses were lost in battle. A great achievement turned into a big mistake, which made him very depressed.

"General, do you mean that the mysterious cavalrymen who appeared last night were from the Han army?" Xiang Sheng then changed the subject, and now he really wants to know who are those guys who sneaked up on him?

Long Qi shook his head lightly: "It's very possible, but we can't confirm it yet!"

Immediately, he jumped off his horse and came to Chu Jun's messy corpse to check the situation.

The feathered arrows scattered all over the place can't be seen from above. The feathered arrows are still ordinary feathered arrows, except that the depth of shooting into the soldier's body is slightly deeper.Moreover, Xiang Sheng and the fleeing soldiers also provided information that the opponent's bow and crossbow seemed to have a longer range.

From this it can be seen that the secret is still on the crossbow that shoots the feather arrows. It can be seen from this that the opponent's crossbow is very powerful in terms of range and power, and it should be better than ordinary crossbows.Who are they?To hold such an ordnance?

Immediately, the wound on Chu Jun's body caught Long Qi's attention again. The wound was deep, which proved the speed of the impact and the force of the chopping.Ordinary long swords, logically speaking, cannot cut such an effect, and the wound is not straight, but has a difference in depth, which shows that the opponent's weapon is not straight, it seems to be curved, what is this? What kind of situation?
While Long Qi was contemplating, Xiang Sheng said: "General Long, I noticed last night that the weapons of those mysterious cavalrymen seem to have an arc, and many of their movements are chopping. It seems that the mysterious weapons are very hard, and Very sharp."

Long Qie picked up a broken long sword from the ground, and his heart was filled with turmoil, even the Chu army's saber was cut off.

Xiang Sheng continued: "Moreover, the general still noticed that there seemed to be something on the belly of those mysterious cavalrymen, and the horse's back seemed to be higher, but it was not clear what it was in the dark night. Those who controlled the horses It seems more skillful and casual..."

As Long listened, he couldn't help feeling turbulent waves in his heart. The shock that this mysterious cavalry had given them was already very powerful.When he first heard Xiang Sheng's report, he still didn't believe it. He didn't believe that there would be someone in this world who could win more with less, and beat the Western Chu army with such a huge disparity.

He thought that there might be many ways to shirk responsibility, and this was one of the reasons why he came to investigate in person.After seeing the situation at the scene now, he believed that Xiang Sheng was not lying. The fighting power of this mysterious cavalry was really too strong.The corpses of the Chu army at the scene were shocking. The battlefield seemed to have been cleaned, and the mysterious cavalry did not leave any clues.

Who is it?Long Qi's face was extremely gloomy.

Xiang Sheng stepped forward and said, "General, could it be the Han army?"

After successfully breaking out of the siege last night, Yingbo fled in the northwest direction, which seemed to be in the direction of Han. It seemed reasonable if the Han army sent troops.It's just that if the Han army had such equipment and strength, would Pengcheng have suffered such a disastrous defeat?And if they really send troops, they should also respond to Yingbo. Why should they only rescue Yingbo's family members?

This point is very puzzling. It is precisely because of this result that Long Qi is very puzzled and it is difficult to determine.

At this time, someone came down to report that traces of a large group of people and horses were found in the direction of Hengshan Kingdom in the west and along the river in the south!
