Sun Wu and Qing Ji led the army to come. Qing Ji led the Tengjia army to win consecutive battles, and their morale was high.
Originally, both Sun Wu and Qingji thought that the Chu army was defending on the west bank of the Han River. However, when they arrived, they discovered that the Chu army was actually divided into two, one part was on the east bank of the Han River, and the other part was on the west bank of the Han River. There was even a pontoon bridge connecting them. .
Sun Wu and Qing Ji were both surprised to see the Chu army setting up such a military formation, but since the Chu army dared to take the initiative, the battle would be easy.
"General, let me go to battle. With only 3,500 Tengjia troops, I will definitely be able to break through the Chu camp and seize the pontoon bridge." Qing Ji asked.
"The Chu army is waiting for work. Our army has come a long way and has high morale. We can win by attacking by force, but if there is an easier way to win, why not use it?" Sun Wu did not intend to attack by force. The Huai army was elite in this battle, so they would die less. Nature is better.
"Order the army to retreat thirty miles!"
"promise!"
The Huai army took the initiative to retreat. When Zichang saw the Huai army retreating, he thought that the Huai army saw that there were many Chu soldiers and became afraid, so he wanted to retreat and immediately ordered the army to pursue them.
The Huai army retreated in an orderly manner, and the Chu army hurriedly pursued it. As a result, the Chu army's formation became very scattered during the pursuit. The Huai army retreated thirty miles. Seeing that the Chu army was scattered due to the pursuit, they immediately asked Qing Ji to lead the army to attack.
The 3,500 Tengjia troops were impatient. After receiving the military order, they immediately attacked the weak points of the Chu army's formation under the leadership of Qing Ji.
Qing Ji took the lead and was extremely brave. Corpses were everywhere wherever he went. The Chu army was directly stunned by the sudden counterattack of the Huai army. The Huai army was so powerful that it directly defeated the Chu army's front army, and then drove the front army to pursue them.
The Chu State was originally pursuing. After being suddenly attacked, the army had no time to adjust and was overwhelmed by the defeated army. The Tengjia Army was like a sharp knife, directly cutting through the Chu Army's formation.
The Chu army collapsed and rushed straight towards Zichang's army. The formation of Zichang's army was in chaos. The entire Huai army attacked, but the Chu army struggled to resist, but they were no match at all. Zichang kept trying to command the army and rearrange their formations, but how could the Tengjia Army give him a chance?
Under the attack of the army, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties and fled in all directions. Qingji soon saw Zichang Dabao among the army, and immediately pointed at the Dazhen: "Where is the general of the Chu people, please follow me to kill the general and seize the flag!"
"Behead the general and seize the flag!" The surrounding Tengjia troops responded loudly.
Qingji waved his Changge and directly flew a Chu soldier away, then launched an attack in the direction of Dahu, followed closely by hundreds of Tengjia soldiers. The Tengjia Army behind them also immediately followed.
Under the leadership of Qingji, the Tengjia army was like a sharp blade, dividing the Chu army into two, and all the Chu army in front were killed.
The Chu army collapsed one after another. Zi Chang saw the Huai army rushing toward him quickly, especially the leader of the Huai army, who broke through seven formations in a row. No one in the Chu army could defeat him, and he immediately turned pale with fear. At this time, he no longer cares about the position of Ling Yin or the first achievement in defeating the Huai River.
Directly under the protection of the guards, turn around and run away. The general fled, and the morale of the Chu troops around him suddenly collapsed and they fled one after another. Qingji quickly rushed to the vicinity of Da'an, and then chopped Da'an down.
The surrounding Tengjia troops shouted in unison, "The Chu army has been defeated, the Chu army has been defeated!"
The Chu army who was fighting the Huai army on the battlefield heard the shouts and looked up, only to see that the large banner representing the general had fallen. The Chu army suddenly panicked and knew that the general had either escaped or been killed. The morale of the army collapsed, and the Chu army did not dare to fight anymore, and fell apart in an instant.
Sun Wu commanded the army to pursue them, but the remnants of the Chu army fled all the way to Qingfa Shui.
Qing Ji wanted to continue the attack, but was stopped by Sun Wu: "The Chu army is at the end of its road. The pressure is too much at this time, which will easily arouse the Chu army's determination to fight to the death. When the trapped beasts still fight, our army's casualties will definitely be heavy."
"Wait until these Chu troops are halfway across before fighting again!"
Soon the Chu army discovered that the Huai army did not attack, but retreated a little, and immediately began to cross the river.
After the Chu army crossed the river, Sun Wu allowed the army to attack. After losing their general, the Chu army was in disarray. Originally, if Huai attacked, these Chu troops would have caused some losses to the Huai army with a desperate fight. However, after the Huai army retreated and the Chu troops rushed to cross the river, these Chu troops No more determination to die
.
Sun Wu ordered the army to attack. As expected, the Chu army did not even think about resisting and rushed to cross the river. The Huai army easily captured the remaining Chu army.
After crossing the river, the Chu army did not dare to stay, and fled all the way. When they arrived at the Chu army's rear camp, they breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to bury the pot and make rice.
Sun Wu commanded the army to cross the river in pursuit. When the Chu army had just finished cooking and was about to eat, the Huai army was like a magic weapon descending from the sky. When it appeared again, the Chu army, which was already frightened, did not even think about confronting the Huai army. Next, he collapsed and ran away without even taking a bite of the freshly prepared meal.
The Huai army did not pursue them. Seeing that the food had been prepared in the Chu army camp, they immediately ate the food cooked by the Chu people without any courtesy. After eating and drinking, they pursued again.
Huai Jun: That’s so polite. He was worried that we would be hungry, so he cooked a meal specially. Thank you, let you run for half an hour first, and then I will chase you when I am full!
Chu Jun: Steal my food and come after me to beat me?
At this moment, Sima Chenyi, the Zuojun soldier who got the news, changed his face greatly: "Zichang mistook me!"
He quickly led the army to rescue the main force, but just as he arrived at the battlefield, the rested Tengjia army attacked again. Shen Yi commanded the army to attack. Both sides refused to give in and wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the other side.
But how could the Huai State Tengjia Army just take it easy? Shen Yi led the army to charge, and the armies collided with each other. The Huai army's formation did not waver at all. The next second, the Tengjia army broke out instantly, with long arms like a forest, and the Tengjia army pushed back directly.
The Chu army's formation immediately wavered, and then they retreated under the attack of the Tengjia army.
At the same time, Sun Wu commanded the army to surround Shen Yi's army, and then commanded the army to change formations and strangle Shen Yi.
Sun Wu issued orders, and the Huai army constantly changed their formations, dividing and surrounding the Chu army bit by bit, and then eliminated them.
No matter how Shen Yi commanded the army to meet the enemy and changed its formation, it could not change the situation of the Chu army at all. Instead, Huai State seized the opportunity and completely divided and destroyed it.
Shen Yi felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart. In the field where he was best at, he was crushed and beaten without the ability to fight back. Shen Yi led his troops to rush left and right, but was easily neutralized by Sun Wu. Not only did he fail to break out of the siege, but he suffered heavy casualties.
Even Qing Ji next to him was shocked when he saw Sun Wu commanding the army like an arm, dividing and surrounding the larger Chu army. For the first time, he saw that the military formation could be arranged like this. The pressure of a max-level boss makes one almost breathless.
Seeing that the Chu army was divided and surrounded without resistance, Shen Yi looked desperate. Tens of thousands of Chu troops collapsed in a battle. How could he face the King of Chu this time?
Shen Yi immediately drew his sword and killed himself.
From then on, there was no longer an army barrier between the Huai army and the Chu capital Yingdu. The Huai army crossed the Han River and Yingdu was in sight.
——
Huai attacked Chu and fought on the Han River. Huai retreated to lure the enemy, and the Chu army pursued them. After crossing the Han River, the Chu army lost three battles. Chu defeated his troops and reached the rear camp. It was dark and the Huai army arrived. Chu was defeated. The Huai army was full of food and pursued them again. They arrived at Ying in a battle! ——"Zuo Zhuan"
