King Chu thought about this for several days, and he regretted more and more, and felt more and more that he should not have angered Li Ran and ran away like this.
However, since the King of Chu is still high-spirited, even though he suffered a defeat in the early stage, he still believes that he is destined by fate and can definitely turn things around on his own. Little did he know that he himself was already falling into danger step by step.
King Wu Yuji had pierced a bag just to wait for King Chu to take the bait, but King Chu Xiong Wei didn't know it yet. He led his troops to station in Suodi. The river in front of them also prevented them from advancing, but he also calculated that the Wu people might not be able to attack. At this time, he was still thinking about how to cross the river and kill the enemy.
That afternoon, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. In the evening, it suddenly started raining. The rain came quickly and with great force.
The soldiers of the Chu army all went into camp to take shelter from the rain. Expecting such a heavy wind and rain, the other side could not cross the river. King Chu had finished his dinner and lay down early. Listening to the sound of rain outside the tent, he suddenly thought of Li Ran again.
"Li Ran is very resourceful in his military tactics. Such a heavy rain is the perfect time to use his tactics. If he were still here, I wonder what kind of tactics he would have..."
King Chu thought of this and jumped up.
"No! The Wu army was so powerful before that it attacked several cities in a row and was full of deceit. During the heavy rain, our army was resting here. If the Wu army fell from the sky, wouldn't it be like a divine army suddenly coming to kill us by surprise?"
For a moment, King Chu didn't know whether it was cold sweat or beads of sweat on his forehead. He was about to call someone to come over, but he heard a sudden burst of shouting and killing outside, mixed with the sound of rain, which made people feel nervous.
It turned out that Wu Jun took advantage of the rain and rising water to instigate the boat division to launch a new round of attacks. They relied on the cover of the rain curtain and the rising water to move quickly. However, the place where the King of Chu was stationed had not yet had time to complete the defensive fortifications. In addition, it rained heavily tonight, so it was impossible to watch the fire at all.
The sudden intrusion of the Wu people directly led to chaos among the Chu army. The Wu army rushed straight into the camp. The Chu army's camp was already in chaos, and the road turned into a quagmire, mixed with blood and water, accompanied by bursts of screams and shouts of killing.
The King of Chu had no time to put on his armor, so he pulled out his sword with a clang. Several guards broke into the tent, and Wu She shouted:
"Your Majesty! I hope you will forgive me for waiting for help to come too late!"
When the King of Chu saw someone escorting him, he felt a little calmer.
"Please follow me and fight out together!"
Wu She stood up, picked up the king's armor, and asked a guard to put it on. The guard put it on without hesitation, and Wu She took out another wet garment.
"Your Majesty, please put it on!"
King Chu Xiongwei saw at a glance that these were the clothes of a waiter in the Guanyi Post Office, and couldn't help but be startled.
The shouts of killing outside the tent were getting closer and closer at this time. Wu She didn't care about the offence. He directly put his clothes on King Chu's body and asked the guard wearing the king's armor to go out from the front, while they themselves Hidden behind the tent.
"Where is Wang Yu?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on the royal throne now!"
Wu She replied, and several Wu soldiers rushed up. Wu She held a long sword and flew them away. After cutting down several people, the rest were left for other guards to take care of.
The group of people retreated outside the camp in the rain, and suddenly heard someone shouting during the battle:
"The King of Chu is here, hurry! The King of Chu is here!"
King Chu was startled at first and followed the sound, but because it was dim at the time, he couldn't see clearly. He could only see figures running in the opposite direction. Obviously, Wu She's pretense worked.
They took advantage of this opportunity and quickly retreated outside the camp. They found a small car not far away, and the two horses looked extremely weak in the rain.
At this time, more than a dozen sporadic Wu troops discovered them and immediately came to cover them up. Wu She asked the King of Chu to get on the chariot first, while they went up to meet the enemy.
At this time, King Xiong Wei of Chu could never have imagined that he would suffer such a heavy loss in just one night for his impassioned expedition.
How unwilling is he in his heart? And now, he actually wears servant's clothes and rides in a small sidecar.
As the saying goes, two horses are a parallel horse, three horses are a gallop, four horses are a steed, five horses are a chariot, six horses are a luan, and six horses are the chariot of the emperor of Zhou. These are all symbols of status.
Although King Chu felt aggrieved, he couldn't care less about it at the moment. King Chu stumbled all the way to the two-horse carriage and got on the carriage, but he didn't know how to drive the carriage.
After all, given his status, if it weren't for this situation, he would never have become associated with parallel racing.
He only drove randomly a few times, but the two horses remained motionless.
The King of Chu was anxious and was about to poke the horse's butt with his sword. At this moment, a figure covered in blood jumped onto the car. The smell of blood hit his face. The King of Chu took a closer look and found that it was Wu She.
Wu She didn't have time to say anything, and pushed the King of Chu into the chariot. He stood outside, holding the shaft wood with one hand and a whip with the other, and rode the horse.
The two horses struggled to start in the mud, because the horses were really thin, and it was extremely difficult to walk in such bad weather. Therefore, even though Wu She's driving skills were excellent, the parallel carriage still did not move fast.
Suddenly a white light flashed in the darkness, and two spears pierced Wu She's face.
Wu She turned her head to avoid the sharp edge, shook the riding whip in her hand, and wrapped it around a spear. With a strong pull, she heard someone fall to the ground, and he dodged the spear.
Wu She heard the sound and identified the position, jumped up and got on the horse's back. The spear on the whip suddenly cut through the night and hit another person in the middle. Wu She put one hand on the horse's back and flew into the air. Return to the carriage shaft.
With a pop, Wu She felt a pain in her chest and almost fell down, but in a hurry, she grabbed the shaft wood with one hand and jumped up, and then returned to the front of the car.
Wu She didn't have time to check his injuries. He continued to spur the horse, and the car got better and better, actually running faster and faster.
Fortunately, because their car now only looks like a post, it is driven by only two horses. What's more, there was a guard wearing the King of Chu's armor, which absorbed most of the Wu army's attention, so no one came to pursue him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. My father and other soldiers will collect the remaining troops. Let's go to Luorui first. If the fourth prince gets the news, he will definitely come to help!"
Luo Rui is the only way to cross the river and retreat to Cai State. Moreover, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you go there to gather the remaining troops, even if you are besieged by the Wu army, you can still hold on for a while.
After hearing Wu She's words, King Chu had some direction. At this time, Wu She, who had calmed down for a moment, realized that he didn't know when, but there was an arrow stuck straight in his chest.
Without saying a word, he cut off the arrow feathers and temporarily left the arrowhead in the flesh to prevent excessive blood loss after pulling it out.
"ah!"
Wu She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, and continued to drive the carriage. After running all night, she stopped the carriage and let the horses rest. The rain had stopped at this time, and the sky was getting brighter. King Chu got out of the carriage and saw at a glance Seeing Wu She who was leaning on the shaft tree, he couldn't help but be startled.
Wu She covered the location where the arrow was hit, her lips turning white:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely protect you to the death to Luorui!"
