Perhaps because of the large range of movements he made before, Wu She didn't realize that his arrow wound had recurred and he was bleeding.
Seeing this, Wu She had no choice but to grit his teeth, grab a handful of grass roots, chew them in his mouth, and then stuff them into the wound temporarily to temporarily block the wound.
Then he tried to bend down and escape, but for some reason, although Wu Jun took precautions, they were not strict.
As a result, Wu She finally escaped from Wu Jun's camp under the cover of night.
But at this time, Wu She knew that it was not completely safe yet, so he bent down and drove quickly.
Finally, Yu Yinshi returned to the Chu camp near the mountain, and Chu scouts discovered him. I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the blood all over his body.
Wu She was carried to the top of the mountain. At this time, the sun had revealed a gap between the mountains. King Xiongwei of Chu was surprised and happy when he heard that Wu She was back. He didn't care about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, so he went out on his bare feet and helped Wu She.
Wu She wanted to salute, but King Chu only waved his hand and said:
"You don't have to be polite, please tell me how the situation is."
Therefore, Wu She reported everything about her argument with Wu Wang Yuji and others, as well as how she escaped later, and the King of Chu immediately called a doctor to treat Wu She's injuries.
"You have worked hard all the way. Although I can't withdraw the Wu soldiers, Yu Ji's Zhu Zi will obviously throw a trap. In this way, at least it can be delayed for a while."
The doctor cleaned Wu She's wound and poured water in. The pain made Wu She take a breath.
"But what this Zhuzi said about my brother...could he...really not come to save me?"
Wu She gasped and replied:
"I...I don't dare to speak nonsense!"
However, Ran Dan was nearby and sighed secretly:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the fourth prince... will choose to watch the fire from the other side and wait for the death of the king so that he can inherit the throne!"
King Chu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but said angrily:
"He... would actually have such intention? Why... would he do this?!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Ran Dan stepped forward and said:
"I'm sorry for my lies. The fourth prince also knows everything about the king's rise to power. I'm afraid he also has the same intention!"
When King Chu heard this, his whole body trembled and he exclaimed:
"Qiji! How dare he do this to Qiji!"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed possible. Logically, the person we sent to deliver the message should have arrived by now, but the Fourth Prince's men have not made any movement. Isn't that enough to be suspicious?"
After King Chu heard this, his whole body went limp and he sat down on the big stone:
"Then...what should I do? What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, I will protect you to the death!"
After hearing this, King Chu shouted irritably:
"What's the use of relying on you! What's the use!"
As soon as King Chu said this, everyone was stunned and didn't know how to reply.
Wu She's wound was cleaned and bandaged again. However, due to excessive blood loss, she almost fainted. She was still holding on, and she half-bowed her body:
"However, I have also told Yuji about all the hidden dangers of the Wu people. I think he will definitely have some scruples... He will not dare to act rashly... As for the fourth prince, maybe he has no such intention. It is the rainy season now. We need to prepare a boat to cross the river, and we may still be preparing a boat, who knows!"
When the King of Chu heard these words, he calmed down a little, and suddenly realized that his actions just now had greatly affected the morale of others. Just as he was about to say a few more words of relief, he was informed that Wu troops were already at the foot of the mountain and were preparing for a massive attack!
Wu Ju ignored his old age and immediately asked for orders to go down the mountain to meet the enemy.
Wu She was concerned about his father's safety and wanted to go with him. But after all, he was seriously injured and was stopped by his father. He had to stay temporarily.
It turned out that after Yu Ji learned that Wu She had escaped, he was furious and immediately sent people to chase him. Therefore, two thousand men and horses have now chased them to the foot of the mountain.
Wu Ju rushed to the bottom of the sky, set up his formation, and ordered him to defend this place with all his strength. And he himself mobilized another thousand elite soldiers and asked them to kill him down the mountain with him!
Wu raised his troops and shouted loudly:
"We Chu people will do nothing if we don't die. Once we die, we will shock the world! For the sake of the Chu country, you must not be afraid of death! Please join us and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
On the way down the mountain, Wu Ju also got the information. This time, the Wu people only sent out more than 2,000 people from the camp to pursue them. At such a scale, they can still fight, but if they show a hint of cowardice at this moment, and if the Wu people notice it, there is no doubt that they will also die in the future!
Therefore, Wu Ju decided to give it a try! He understood that if he could use offense instead of defense, advance instead of retreat, it would be a clever move.
Wu Ju bravely fought for the lead, rushed down the mountain first, and actually rushed directly into the Wu army's formation. Because Wu Jun did not know the details of the Chu army, he was caught off guard. Seeing Wu Ju leading his army to attack, he was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and his position was immediately disrupted. In an instant, the shouts of killing shook the earth. Although Wu Ju was old, he still led thousands of people to rush forward and back.
Just as Wu Ju was fighting with the Wu people, he heard another drum beating from behind the Wu army's formation. Then he saw a group of chariots coming at a high speed, rushing directly into the battle, charging so fast that Wu Ju was frightened.
They can't deal with chariots. After all, flesh and blood are at an extremely obvious disadvantage when facing chariots. The morale that Wu Ju had worked so hard to build up was gone in just this moment.
Wu Juqing knew that the situation was bad, so he raised his weapon alone and stabbed one of the chariot horses in the eye. The horse was in pain and immediately stood up. The inertia of the chariot knocked the horse down. It also fell to one side, and the people on top were directly pressed under the shaft of the car.
Wu Ju followed the same example and actually picked up two chariots in a row, but after all, he was old and not as brave as before. After this action, he was exhausted and out of breath.
At this moment, another three to four hundred people rushed down from the mountain.
The four hundred men were divided into two teams, forming a wing shape, and rushed into the formation. The Wu army was already suspicious of the Chu army's men, but when they saw this situation, their hearts sank.
However, the Wu army was also well-trained. Seeing the Chu army charging in, they still bravely charged in. However, after all, their formation was in chaos and the enemy was already in danger!
The commander of the Wu army was worried that other reinforcements would come down from the mountain, so he immediately ordered him to withdraw his troops with gold.
As soon as the golden zheng sounded, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, while the fighting spirit of the Wu army was reduced. The Chu army became more and more brave. Wu Ju, who was already tired, was refreshed at this moment and led the troops to chase the retreating troops together.
However, although the Chu army only sent out 1,400 troops, it was difficult to send out more troops, and they did not dare to pursue more. After only covering up the killing for a while, Wu Ju also led his troops and retreated.
After the battle, the Chu army counted their troops. Although they killed more than 600 enemies, they also suffered 300 losses. By the time Wu Ju returned to the top of the mountain, he was almost out of breath.
The King of Chu personally brought him a glass of water, and Wu Ju lowered his head to take it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, our army has won a great victory in this battle. We have defeated the Wu army and killed more than 600 enemies! We have suffered 300 losses in battle!"
After hearing this, King Chu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief:
"Jiao Gong is extremely wise and courageous, and he is the bravest of the three armies. He really has not insulted the heroes of the Wu family!"
It is worth mentioning here that what King Chu said is true. Wu Ju's father, Wu Shen, was the favorite of King Chu Zhuang back then. In the Battle of Jin and Chu, Wu Shen took the lead. Later, the reason why King Chu Zhuang was able to defeat Jin and achieve a complete victory was because Wu Ju's father Wu Shen takes the lead again!
Therefore, the Wu family can indeed be called a loyal and brave family!
"Your Majesty, please don't be careless... The main force of the Wu army is still there, and this place belongs to Wu. The crisis has not been resolved. If there are no reinforcements... I'm afraid..."
Wu Ju dragged his very tired body and told the truth.
When King Chu heard this, his heart sank and he didn't know what to say.
Yes...the Wu army will come sooner or later, but where are their reinforcements?
King Chu looked down the mountain in the distance with a blank look on his face.
