The main army under Xiong Wuliang's command has surrounded Wucheng. The three armies used their lives to rush towards Wucheng.
Under the protection of more than a dozen troops, Yu Ji rushed left and right... but couldn't even break out of the city lord's palace - the 600 soldiers led by Zhong Hua formed an impenetrable wall. Anyone who dared to challenge this wall , all died unexpectedly.
"Put down your weapons and kneel down without killing..." Qu Yanghou's soldiers were still shouting.
There were fewer and fewer Qi soldiers standing around Yu Ji, and finally only Yu Ji and six or seven soldiers were left holding swords and shields, glaring at Zhong Hua with wide eyes.
Yuji let out a long sigh and put down the dagger in his hand.
There wasn't even a trace of blood on the sword.
Don't get me wrong - Yuji did resist desperately for a time, but he couldn't break through the shield wall at all... Occasionally, he could cut someone if he got the chance, and he could only hear the harsh sound of metal colliding... Seeing the risk on those Chu people A string of sparks appeared.
Facing such well-equipped elites, Yuji felt that he had not lost unfairly.
"Why do you, Chu people, do this sneak attack?" Yu Ji was very angry and stared at Zhong Hua fiercely: "The five-nation coalition forces are fighting with our Daqi, what do you and other Chu people do?"
Zhong Hua was amused: "Are you the fish?"
"Who said you won't do anything about our Chu country? Last year, the Qi country brazenly invaded our Chu country, and the battle is not over yet."
Yu was speechless——
really.
After the Battle of Chuisha last year, Qi and Chu did not negotiate peace.
The main reason was that Qi King Tian Bijiang felt that he had lost unjustly and was unwilling to give up the army - he was still waiting to regain his strength and beat Song and Chu together.
As a result, before Qi State could calm down and avenge Tian Zhen, the five-nation allied forces over there seemed like a swarm of flies that had smelled the blood, and swarmed up to fight...
The deep hatred between Qi and Chu has been put aside for the time being - but the Chu general opposite said it right - since Qi and Chu have not negotiated peace, they are still in a state of war.
Yu Ji: "Who leads the Chu army?"
Zhong Hua: "I, the Great Chu, Quyang Marquis, personally lead the troops! You did not lose unjustly - surrender yourself, my master can guarantee your safety!"
The fish felt as if it had been struck by lightning!
Blanch!
Qu Yanghou? Marquis Quyang of Chu State?
It’s this damn Xiong Wuliang again!
This guy is still as ungrateful as ever!
Yuji gritted his teeth and said proudly: "General Daqi can only die standing, not kneeling!"
Then, Yu Ji turned around the dagger in his hand and glanced at Zhong Hua coldly: "I am the invincible Qi! The five-nation coalition will be defeated! The Chu State will be defeated!"
"Your Majesty will avenge me!"
After saying that, the dagger in his hand suddenly entered his belly. Yuji laughed twice at last, and his body fell to the ground with a plop.
Zhong Hua was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but click his tongue.
Seeing that all the Qi soldiers in the city lord's palace had given up resistance, Zhong Hua also sheathed his sword and said concisely and concisely: "Tie up all the prisoners and wait until the lord comes to deliver them... This guy is a tough guy, don't take off his armor. Find a place to bury him.”
…
There was a hint of fish belly white in the sky, and [Wucheng] had already completely quieted down.
In this battle, more than 700 Qi troops were killed and nearly 1,300 were captured, almost none of them escaped the net...Wucheng guard Yu Ji committed hara-kiri.
The Quyang New Army under Xiong Wuliang's command only suffered dozens of casualties, most of which were minor injuries.
There were more than thirty casualties in the Janissary camp, most of them minor injuries.
This casualty ratio may seem outrageous, but it is actually normal - the Chu army took advantage of the sneak attack, and used their formation troops to fight against the Qi army who were in a panic and were not even fully clothed. Of course, they took advantage.
Moreover, the Chu troops were all covered in heavy armor and were all heavily armored infantry, which further reduced casualties.
"My lord, this battle is won!" Zhong Hua's face was full of excitement, still immersed in joy.
The Chu army only suffered 60 or 70 casualties in total, but it achieved a remarkable result of beheading and capturing 2,000 Qi troops!
Even last year's 'Gaoping Victory', which took advantage of the power of the water, did not have such an outrageous casualty ratio!
Xiong Wuliang nodded and said: "In this battle, the personal barracks should be credited with the first achievement!"
Zhong Hua was overjoyed and looked at Shao Hu with obvious pride.
No matter how many soldiers you bring, what's the use?
The first credit is still mine!
Shaohu on the side saw Zhong Hua's eyes and couldn't help scratching his chest hair in an unhappy manner, feeling secretly angry... Grandma, I must overpower this guy in the next battle!
"The achievements of the officers and soldiers of the three armies in battle will be recorded by each of them. When the victory comes, they will be rewarded uniformly." Xiong Wuliang said.
"The captured Qi soldiers will be taken into custody for the time being... If the wounded soldiers can be saved, we will save them. If we can't save them, we will give them a break. As for the prisoners whose limbs are intact, let them repair the walls of Wucheng."
These Qi prisoners must not be released.
Killing them all... The soldiers of the Chu army didn't have any objections. After all, they hated the Qi people with all their heart - but Xiong Wuliang always felt that he was arrogant and had some pity in his heart.
If those soldiers under Jiang Yu's command had burned, killed, and looted before, no matter how much they begged, Xiong Wuliang would certainly not have shown mercy... He was not the kind of vicious virgin bitch.
How to repay kindness with kindness?
But these are ordinary soldiers in front of them. They have never set foot on the territory of Chu State... and they have no deep hatred against the people of Chu State.
It is better to keep them and work as coolies for the Chu army.
The geographical location of [Wucheng] is very important and will be the fulcrum of the Chu army's next movement - but the city wall is in dilapidated condition and really needs to be repaired.
This place spans the entire Song Dynasty from the fiefdom... It is too far away and cement cannot be transported, so traditional repair methods can only be used.
Zhong Hua raised his hand and agreed: "These prisoners are so lucky to have met the master of our family."
"If we encounter Qin soldiers, I'm afraid they will all have their heads chopped off to discuss their merits."
Zhao Hua spread out the map and said in a deep voice: "Our army has occupied Wucheng and is in an invincible position... We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat!"
"Next, I suggest that the Lord stick to Wucheng and wait for the outcome of the Battle of Jixi!"
"If the coalition forces win, they will march in large numbers... If the coalition forces lose, they will return to the Song Dynasty along the same route."
Zhao Hua's suggestion can be said to be very sound.
This battle has already destroyed the city. If all the spoils in the city are transported back to the fiefdom, this trip will not be in vain. It has already been earned.
Next, stick to [Wucheng], wait for news about the battle in Jixi, and then further consider countermeasures... It seems to be the best plan.
…
Xiong Wuliang shook his head unexpectedly——
"Although this policy is stable, this is not the time to seek stability."
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and clicked on the map.
Zhao Hua took a closer look and saw that the thick black fonts on the map were particularly eye-catching. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock: "Jucheng?"
[Jucheng], in the northeast of Wucheng, is an important town in Qi State. In terms of wealth, this city ranks among the top five among many cities in Qi.
Therefore, no matter how careless Qi is, there will still be heavy troops guarding [Jucheng].
Your Majesty wants to go east to attack Jucheng? Before the victory was decided in the Jixi war?
But why?
Zhao Hua was puzzled——
…
