On the golden autumn plains in the afternoon, there were two military formations, the Yong Army in the north and the Fish Army in the south.
The mediocre troops were arranged in three rows, divided into three divisions: front, middle and rear. Each row was fifteen vehicles, surrounded by the general's five vehicles, forming a triple wave.
The same is true for the Yu Army. Back then, Yu, Shi, and Kui were all vassals of the mediocre state, and their tactics were of the same type. They were all similar in appearance. The difference was in the understanding and execution of the tactics.
The first step of the battle was to address the army. The first sergeant under Yuan Sima, Dao Baifeng, rushed out of the chariot and rushed to the opposite army. He bowed to the commander Bo Gui and saluted: "To the doctor! I am the corporal of Sima Mansion, Dao Baifeng, respectfully." Say hello to the doctor! My Sima misses the doctor, and I have been ordered to invite the doctor to have a drink with him in front of the army."
This is not to invite the other party to drink, but to tactfully ask the other party to surrender.
Bo Gui replied: "I also miss Dr. Yuan very much. It's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient today. It's better to invite Dr. Yuan over. I must have the most mellow wine and the most delicious soup. To show my sincerity, I asked my warrior Hu Tiema to come over. Go and greet Dr. Yuan for me and lead the way."
Hu Tiema is one of the Three Scholars of the Fish Kingdom and the top master among the disciples of the Four Kingdoms. It was he who took action during the Putai Alliance four years ago and won the large order for the refining of magic weapons for the Fish Kingdom.
At that time, Dao Baifeng, who was deprived of the qualification to fight because he was suspected of taking pills, was still angry. Later, when he saw his strength, his face turned pale.
In the past few years, Dao Baifeng has always regarded Hu Tiema as his imaginary enemy, practiced diligently, and prepared to challenge him during the alliance. At the end of last year, a new alliance was supposed to be held, but the Chu State did not want Mao Gong and instead recruited troops, so it did not take place. Unexpectedly, it happened today.
Hu Tiema jumped out of the carriage, came to Dao Baifeng, and asked with a smile: "Are you the one who took the elixir back then? Don't worry, no one will care about you during the two armies' drill today. If you have any elixir, just take it!"
Dao Baifeng had no intention of retorting, Hu Tiema was famous, so it was nothing to be laughed at by him, it was not a shame! Now he straightened his clothes and girded his armor, and placed the euphorbia across his chest.
It was agreed that it was a drill, so there was no need to activate the power of the chariot or gather the strength of the soldiers. At this moment, the real skills of the two of them were fighting, and there was no need for help from the side. The driver controlled the chariot and the shooter took false aim.
After several rounds of back and forth, Dao Baifeng got better and better as they fought. He used all his true energy to fight Hu Tiema. His true energy was crisscrossed and his halberds were intertwined. He fought hard against Hu Tiema amidst the thunderous shouts of the sergeants on both sides. It was hard to tell them apart. Win or lose.
When the fight reached a tense point, Hu Tiema smiled, drew back his halberd, and shouted: "Lost!" The driver in front of him turned the horse's head and controlled the chariot to escape far away.
Dao Baifeng was still surprised, but the driver next to him had already raised the signal on the chariot and waved forward. The first row of Yongjun chariots started, and each of them led the chariots to attack.
In the triple wave strategy, each wave impacts a distance of fifty feet, then withdraws its force, and continues to hit with the second wave, and then the third wave, and so on. It is an effective strategy for charging into the enemy's formation. way.
What Wu Sheng wanted to practice was this kind of formation, which was also the traditional battle method of the Yong Kingdom. He had discussed it with Sima Bogui of the Fish Kingdom, and mainly practiced advancing and retreating without hurting anyone.
But the agreement was an agreement, but it didn't play out that way. The mediocre army rushed over in the first wave, and the fish army collapsed. The chariots scrambled to escape and collapsed, without any resistance. No fish could be found in the second wave. Man, how can you practice this?
The Yong army "pursued" for three miles, but the formation was not very well practiced, and few prisoners were captured, so the drill failed.
So the Yong army broke out of camp and continued to move northeast for a day before catching up with Bo Gui who was sheltering the "broken troops" by the Dongni River.
Wu Sheng was very angry and sent someone to blame Bo Gui. Bo Gui paid two wild geese as compensation and promised to reorganize the army seriously and perform it again.
The same scene happened again. The Yu army once again staged a hundred-mile rout. They escaped directly across the two wooden bridges set up by the Chu people on Feishui River and rushed to Zhoulai.
At this moment, everyone in Yongjun understood that the failure of the two drills had nothing to do with the fishmen's combat power. There must be fraud in it, but they couldn't figure out what Bo Gui's plan was.
Crossing the Feishui River and continuing forward, after another day's journey, we arrived at our destination - Zhoulaiyi.
Zhoulaiyi is composed of more than ten piers. In the past twenty years, it has changed hands three times between Wu and Chu. After the Battle of Jiuzi, the Chu people took Zhoulai back and stationed a large army here, directly threatening the hinterland of Wu. Therefore, Wu After Prince Guang led the troops, his first goal was to eradicate Zhou Lai.
As soon as he arrived in the state, a Chu army came to ask: "Which country's chariots and horses are they from?"
"Sima Yuanzi of Yongguo Rang and Keqing Shenwu were ordered by Yangzhou to lead their troops to assist in the battle. This is a document."
After Yuan Sima handed over the document, the general checked it and said: "The Yong army will be stationed at the foot of Bagong Mountain. Now please set up camp." He ordered his subordinates to lead the army to set up camp. He then said to Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng: "Two doctors Please follow the general to the camp and pay homage to Grand Sima."
This was the proper etiquette, and the two of them immediately rushed to Zhoulaiyi and walked between the forts. The Chu army used the forts as support to form an endless camp, which is really shocking. This is the strength of the Chu state.
Yuan Sima asked the general who led the way: "I don't know how many troops the country will send?"
The general replied: "It has reached 700 chariots now, and there are also the coalition forces of seven countries, including your princes, who have been ordered to assist in the battle, totaling 300 chariots."
Yuan Sima asked again: "Where is Wu Jun?"
The general was a little worried: "I heard there are twelve hundred chariots."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were Chu troops running in front to tell each other, and there were faint cheers. When they came closer, they learned that it was the King of Chu who heard that the Wu army was powerful and had ordered Yin Quwan to lead his troops to come to the rescue in a few days. to.
The general changed his gloomy look and said with joy: "You can all rest assured. Your Majesty is here to help. We will add another five hundred chariots. You don't have to be afraid this time!"
Yuan Sima secretly sighed, this is the strength of the country. In a battle between Chu and Wu, with the addition of soldiers, there will often be thousands of chariots and about 100,000 soldiers. How easy is it for Yongguo to gain a foothold among the princes of the world?
Arriving at the Chu army's camp, they entered by roll call and finally saw the Chu army's current camp commander, Grand Sima Chuanyue. Next to Grand Sima Chuanyue was General Jing Huan.
Wu Sheng took the Tianxiang Pill in advance, and his appearance changed by three points, and he was endorsed as a deputy general of the Yongjun Army, so he went into the camp with confidence and boldness to meet him. Especially when he saw the shooting general Jing Huan, he couldn't help but take a closer look. After a while.
Back then on Leigong Mountain, I had rescued Jin Wuhuan from this general. After six years of separation, I didn't expect to meet here. But I had seen him, but he had never seen me - by the way. , I want Jin Wuhuan to hide away. I wonder if he still remembers Jin Wuhuan.
As soon as they finished their salute, Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng were scolded by Xia Yue and almost dragged off to fight. The reason for the reprimand was that they attacked friendly troops, causing them to be damaged without fighting.
"How can we fight if we lose half of the enemy before we meet the enemy? I don't care about the personal enmity between the two countries, but I will never allow it to be brought to the battlefield. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!" scolded with a straight face.
Yuan Sima looked confused: "Dare you ask Da Sima, who is the friendly army..."
Xia Yue said with a dark face: "Who else could it be? Have you forgotten what you did? Fish Army!"
