Tonghe City, Shuai Mansion.
Lin Ji sat behind the commander-in-chief, with his generals sitting on both sides. Luo Gan, the general of Wu State, sat behind him as a military advisor.
During these days, General Luo Gan of the State of Wu and General Qu Dazhong of the State of Chu each mobilized their military forces. The two armies fought three times, with more than 1,000 men and countless conflicts with less than 10,000 men. Each demonstrated their amazing military planning capabilities.
The outcome was still a matter of victory, because both sides were extremely careful. Not only did they reserve all kinds of backup options, but they also guarded the camp airtight. Even if they were defeated for a moment, the army could return to the camp and hold on to their positions. There would be no such thing as a huge defeat. downturn.
Lin Ji was the apparent commander, and Luo Gan's orders were all issued through him, which benefited him a lot.
"Report, the general rode alone into the court of the King of Chu, killed nine generals of the Chu King's Xiang Brigade and below, fought out of Chengdu, passed through seven levels of checkpoints, and killed twenty-nine generals of the Chu Kingdom along the way. , Gongsun Boyang, the great master of Chu State, came to intercept and kill him, but he was also beheaded by the general."
Young Tan Ma rushed in and reported loudly, with indescribable excitement and pride in his words.
"Wow -" there was a commotion in the room, and all the generals jumped up in shock.
Lu Wu is the spiritual pillar and idol of the army.
During this period of time, the Southern Army and the Chu Army had clashed countless times. Although there were victories and defeats, they were still at a slight disadvantage. Coupled with the unknown whereabouts of Lu Wu, the Southern Army's military morale was already somewhat unstable.
This kind of fluctuation in military morale is not about being timid and eager to flee, but about feeling aggrieved. Some people at the grassroots level have begun to say strange things about these unfamiliar-looking generals who command the army - and some are even worried that the general has been harmed by these people.
When under the command of Lu Wu, when had everyone ever fought such a sticky battle? Almost all the time they were waiting, the general arrived on Pegasus and led everyone in a fierce charge.
How cool is it when the general kills people in front, and everyone follows behind and beats down the drowned dog?
When the general kills the enemy's general in the midst of thousands of troops, and everyone takes advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, the war is basically over.
Everyone cleaned up the mess according to military regulations.
Those who capture prisoners capture prisoners, those who search for trophies search for trophies, those who contact ransoms contact ransoms, and those who extort big money extort money.
When the large sum of gold and silver arrived, everyone shared the gold and silver, and they were promoted and made rich based on their merits. It was really a happy time.
Now that they heard that the general did not abandon everyone, but did such a big thing alone, everyone ignored the order of the proceedings and started to make a noise.
"When did the general do such a big thing?"
"Hahaha, the general actually killed the foolish king of Xianglu. This battle will be won!"
"Even the martial arts master is no match for the general. The general is indeed invincible in the world!"
"I have long said that the general is invincible!"
The generals were inexplicably surprised, and some reacted quickly. They turned around and bowed to Lin Jishuai, bowing their hands and asking for battle: "The King of Chu is dead, and the Chu army must be shaken. If this is announced when the army goes to war, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one battle."
Lin Ji nodded: "The Chu army's morale has been shaken. It is indeed a good opportunity for a decisive battle. However, the number of troops in the Chu army's camp has been reduced in recent days. They must have been prepared for this battle. We must be careful in this battle."
Looking from the top of Tonghe City, we can see that the Chu army's camp is gradually shrinking, and the fires for cooking are also much smaller. Combined with the two, it can be seen that the Chu army has begun to retreat, but the camp that remains is extremely strong and hard. Not easy to attack.
Originally, Lin Ji didn't know why the other party was acting like this and didn't dare to act rashly. General Luo Gan thought that the other party might have set a trap.
After these days of fighting, Qu Dazhong still had the upper hand over Luo Gan, cracking several traps set by Luo Gan, and often using the traps in turn to make Luo Gan suffer some small losses.
Although Luo Gan was a general of Wu State, he had experienced hundreds of battles in his life.
But to be honest, since Wu Guo escaped from Lanshui, most of his battles were with mountain savages and suppressed some rebel nobles in the south.
No matter the intensity of the fighting, the eliteness of the soldiers, or the cunningness of the commander, they could not compare with the intensity of the war between the five great powers in the Central Plains.
Therefore, although Luo Gan was known as the best in the art of war in the Wu Kingdom, he was still not as good as when he actually fought against the generals of the Chu Kingdom.
If Luo Gan hadn't repeatedly reviewed the Battle of Tonghe City after his defeat and considered various situations, he would not only have been unable to win these days, but would also have suffered several big losses at the hands of Qu Dazhong.
————————————
Lu Wu's injury was not hidden from everyone. They no longer swaggered past the checkpoint, but walked day and night, relying on Gongye's silent power to attract strange beasts and birds, trying to avoid the scouts and pursuers. If they couldn't avoid it, , then dispatched experts to ambush the scouts.
The Chu troops who can serve as scouts are all elites in the army, but the elites are also divided into three, six or nine grades.
Among the five hundred people who came to Chengdu with Lu Wu, there were more than ten who were experts at level 4 or above. With them taking action, and the spiritual birds patrolling the sky, there were almost no scouts who could escape their ambush.
Within five days, Lu Wu returned to Tonghe City without any danger.
In the past few days, the Chu army had fought several battles with the Lu Wu army in the south. Qu Dazhong had been prepared for it, retreating step by step and setting up traps. Although the Lu Wu army pressed hard all the way, they did not gain the slightest advantage and actually suffered some losses.
Now that the two armies have broken off contact, Lu Wu's army sent two teams of light cavalry to monitor the Chu army's retreat, lest they be killed by the cunning Qu Dazhong.
By the time Lu Wu returned to Tonghe City, farmers were already replanting crops outside the city - this area had three crops every two years and could replant a round of winter wheat.
Lu Wu, Lin Ji and Luo Gan were sitting in the hall.
Lin Ji and Luo Gan were sitting on their knees behind a long eucalyptus, but Lu Wu was pale and lying crookedly on a recliner with soft cushions. Qiutong Hongmei and others were waiting on him.
"Uncle Lin and General Luo must not laugh. Lu killed Gongsun Boyang, the Grand Master of the Chu Kingdom. He himself was also injured and his internal organs were shattered. He had no choice but to make such a rude gesture."
Lu Wu said with a smile, talking about his internal organs being shattered, as if he had been stabbed in the arm.
"What? Then why don't you take a rest quickly?" Lin Ji was shocked.
"It's okay. If you have practiced martial arts to my level, even if your internal organs are broken, it won't kill you. You just have to rest for a long time. Don't think about fighting anyone until three to five months - it doesn't hurt to talk." Lu Wu said with a forced smile.
Behind him, Qiu Tong and the other girls had expressionless faces.
Luo Gan was thoughtful.
Hearing that Lu Wu was fine and just needed to recuperate for a few months, Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Lu Wu: "The Chu army is really powerful. This time, thanks to General Luo, he brought a large number of Wu elites to join the battle. In charge of military affairs, if Lin were to direct this battle, I'm afraid the outcome would be unpredictable."
Lin Ji is a general of Wu State and Lu Wu's uncle and elder. He is the middleman between Wu State and Lu Wu, so he talks well to both sides and hopes that everyone can cooperate happily.
"Thank you very much, General Luo. After this battle, Mr. Lu should have some free time. It happened that Mr. Lu also wanted to go home for a visit, so he returned to Wu Kingdom with Mr. General Luo."
