Gou Hu smiled coldly and commanded the Vietnamese soldiers behind him to rush straight into the village, with the attack arrow pointing directly at the Chu army's flag.
No matter how many Chu troops there are, their leader must be under the flag!
As long as the enemy generals are killed by the formation, the remaining Chu soldiers who are scattered around the villagers' homes and looting houses must be headless flies - then this battle will be won by 90%!
The two hundred Vietnamese soldiers were all the bravest warriors, and they were the most outstanding among King Yao's 30,000 troops.
At this time, everyone rushed towards the Chu army's flag, and everyone was vying to be the first!
The flag was planted in a house. Gou Hu took the lead and suddenly kicked down the door of the house. The two hundred sergeants behind him swarmed in!
In that house, there was only a solitary flag and no one at all...
A trace of confusion flashed through Gou Hu's heart.
At this moment, Chu soldiers stood up like a forest on both sides. At first glance, each of these Chu soldiers were wearing iron armor. Under the reflection of the sun, they looked like two rows of dense iron. sculpture!
Hong Shitou laughed loudly!
He deliberately used his flag as bait to lure the Vietnamese army into an ambush, and now it really worked!
"Fire the arrow!"
One hundred Chu soldiers pulled the triggers of their crossbows at the same time, and in an instant, a thousand arrows shot out!
At such a short distance, the hit rate of these thousand arrows can be imagined!
The vanguard of the Vietnamese army in the house was cut off like wheat!
Gou Hu was shocked and angry: "The Chu people are actually on guard... despicable! Form a formation! Raise your shield!"
It was too late. One hundred Quyang soldiers drew their swords and charged at the Vietnamese soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties...
…
Jianyang City closed its city gates, and the scattered Quyang Army and Shaohu Army were all called back and were ready.
After listening to Hong Shitou's report, Zhong Hua frowned: "Take me to see the enemy general."
"That's all," Zhong Hua then thought: "Hong Shitou, you and I go to see the Lord first."
City Lord's Mansion.
Xiong Wuliang, Zhong Hua, Shao Hu and a Chu army general all sat down and listened to what Hong Shitou said.
Hong Shitou's centurion almost wiped out the 200 Vietnamese vanguards without any blood, with very few casualties. This made Quyang Army Commander Zhong Hua feel quite proud when he looked at Shao Hu aside.
But no one could laugh.
The Yue people are not idiots, and they cannot do such a stupid thing as trying to recapture Jianyang City with only 200 people.
Therefore, the large army of Yue people must be behind!
Zhong Hua frowned: "My lord, the top priority is to find out how many troops are coming? Where did the enemy soldiers come from? Logically speaking, the Yue army should not appear here."
Shaohu was full of confidence, and said with a loud voice: "Don't worry, my lord! The Shaohu army under the general's command is not for dry food!"
The Chu army general on the side bowed his hands respectfully to Xiong Wuliang: "Your Majesty, there are six thousand soldiers and horses in the city. No matter how many enemies come, we can fight! Please send a messenger immediately to inform General Zhu. Back up!"
The name of this Chu army general was Zhong Xun. When Qu Ping left Xiong Wuliang with five thousand soldiers to defend the city, he also stayed with General Zhong Xun.
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Zhong Xun appreciatively and nodded in agreement: "That's very true!"
"Zhong Hua, immediately send someone to contact General Zhu Guo and tell him that Jianyang has been attacked and is in danger. Please ask General Zhu Guo to come back for help as soon as possible!"
Zhong Hua was a little bit dumbfounded. He hadn't even seen the Yue army yet, so he said that he was in danger... which was really in line with his master's character of being afraid of death.
The captured Gou Hu was very tough, so Zhong Hua and Xiong Wuliang's unfailing cooperation in the interrogation had no effect.
However, Xiong Wuliang and others still found several key pieces of information from Gou Hu's remarks.
The invading troops are King Shake's army! There are thirty thousand people!
From the beginning of the offensive against Vietnam, King Yao's army was considered to have been wiped out, and no one paid attention to the "living" King Yao.
Now King Yao is waiting for work, and then suddenly comes out.
It really caught people off guard.
Logically speaking, Xiong Wuliang had five thousand Chu soldiers under his command, plus his own thousand Buqu, there were six thousand soldiers.
With the help of Jianyang City, we should be able to defend it.
Back then, with only 10,000 men, Jiechao could withstand an army of 150,000 men for half a month.
but!
All preparations for Jianyang City are to guard against the Chu State to the west.
But now King Yao's 30,000-strong army is coming from the northeast - the east wall of Jianyang City is much lower than the west wall!
What's more, Jianyang City had long been smashed to pieces by Xiong Wuliang's catapult... Although the east city wall didn't have a big gap like the west city wall, its current appearance was also terrible.
This battle is difficult!
Although Xiong Wuliang was afraid of death, he couldn't do the dirty thing of running back to Quyang overnight and throwing Qu Ping's 150,000 troops into the encirclement.
Young Master Mi Liang waved his hand: "Get ready for war!"
"Reinforce the city wall!"
"We also sent messengers to Quyang County in the rear, asking for arrows and stone bullets!"
Xiong Wuliang suddenly became ambitious: "I want to give King Yao a head-on blow in Jianyang City!"
…
Three days later, it was already early May.
During Labor Day, working people voluntarily work overtime like crazy.
By the time King Yao's 30,000 troops arrived in Jianyang City, Jianyang City had already changed its appearance!
The originally low east city wall has now been repaired!
It turned out that the adobe brick factory in Quyang County sent a large number of fired bricks. With the help of these bricks, Xiong Wuliang built the east city wall into a solid barrier in a very short period of time.
This is the power of industry!
The 30,000-strong army of King Yao set up a mighty formation, with green flags all over the mountains and plains. On Jianyang City, Xiong Wuliang and all the Chu generals were a little nervous.
I saw a commotion in King Shake's army, and then the formation opened up, and a few people who looked like school captains came to the city.
"...If you don't know the current affairs, when my army of the King of Dayue breaks the city, don't blame Lord Yao Wang for his ruthlessness..."
Xiong Wuliang looked at the Yue army captain who was trying to persuade him to surrender.
Somewhat speechless.
This plot seems familiar?
Shaohu scratched his head, took off his pants and stood on the battlement: "Master, look at me."
"The end will turn yellow!"
Xiong Wuliang quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Shaohu back, his head covered with black lines.
Grandma, I, Mi Liang, am an illustrious noble prince of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Not those fierce barbarians from the Yue Kingdom.
If you go up and fight, where will my face go?
No shame! ? !
…
At this moment.
King Yao stood on the chariot, surrounded by a group of generals.
I heard that the coalition forces of King Qian and King Lie under Ji Chuo were defeated by Qu Ping and were defeated in three battles, retreating for hundreds of miles.
Although he couldn't deal with King Qian, King Lie, Yu Fujun and others, at this moment, with the great enemy of Chu State in front of him, King Yao also knew the truth of the coldness of lips and teeth.
Break through Jianyang City!
Surround Qu Ping! Eat Chu's 150,000 troops!
By then, the Yue Kingdom will definitely attract the attention of all the great powers in the Central Plains!
Although the Yue Kingdom was small, it was still the country of the overlord Gou Jian. After this battle, who dares to despise Yue?
Anyone who offends our country will be punished no matter how far away!
Seeing that Jianyang City was quiet, it seemed that the guard had no intention of surrendering and surrendering as a courtesy.
The corners of King Yao's mouth twitched slightly——
"Blast the drum! Destroy the city!"
