- Chapter 436 Destroy Chuzhong
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The blood-heated drumming sound rang out on the plain. The originally dense green grass was immediately trampled to pieces by countless people wearing straw sandals and even bare feet.
The Han army was slowly approaching from the opposite side. Compared with the old n¨¨nn¨¨n of the Chu army, the Han army was much more energetic. Wearing standard armor, holding sharp weapons and strong shields. Especially the armor, which was polished brightly, made the Han army appear more majestic with the support of the Han army's tall waist.
Although the number of the Chu army was more than three times that of the Han army, when they saw the Han army, the Chu army could not help but feel a little negative emotion of fear in their hearts. The blood that was boiling because of the sound of war drums also became a little cold.
King Hui of Chu could not have imagined that the Han army would be so powerful, let alone that the Chu army would not be able to withstand the test. The Han army did not roar or shout. They just stood in the distance like a stone statue. They were already like a big mountain, pressing on everyone's hearts, making everyone almost breathless.
It¡¯s just that anyone can be afraid of him at this moment, but this person definitely does not include King Hui of Chu himself. For no other reason than because he is the king of Chu and the supreme commander of the Chu army in front of him.
"Warriors of the Chu State! Tell me what forced the arrogant Duke Huan of Qi to seek peace instead of using swords!" King Hui of Chu took a deep breath, drove to the front of the formation with a full face, and raised one hand high. Roar loudly.
"It's the brave Chu army!"
"It is the first king who becomes the king!"
"He is a warrior of Chu!"
The sound is very confusing, but the meaning is basically the same. The Chu army's answer also made their chests tingle a little, and they seemed to have the flavor of a strong army, of course only a few points. After all, the pressure accumulated by the Han army's invincibility over many years cannot be eliminated so easily.
King Hui of Chu raised his hands to signal the soldiers to calm down. "Everything you said is right! But I think it is unyielding! It is the unyieldingness of us Chu people! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will not give in! Back then, Duke Wen of Jin dominated the world! In the end, he kicked them from the position of overlord. , it¡¯s not Qi, the overlord in the world, nor Qin, who won by luck! It¡¯s our Chu country! The unyielding Chu army!¡±
There was silence on the battlefield, and all the Chu soldiers were attracted by King Hui of Chu's words.
"I really want to ask, what are you afraid of? Look behind you, it's your home! It's the land that your ancestors have relied on for generations to survive, give birth to you, and raise you! You, including the widowed people, are no longer able to Retreat! Because we have no retreat! Instead of losing everything, why don't we fight to the death! Let their blood come and sprinkle this land as a tribute to Mother Earth! Remember! We are the unyielding Chu Army!" King Hui of Chu's words were full of exaggeration, and the morale of the Chu army, which had been somewhat low, slowly improved again.
"Bu Yin just told me! God will bless us and we will win this battle!" When King Chu Hui said this, he paused and seemed to be organizing his words. After a while, King Chu Hui pulled out the bronze sword from his waist, raised it high, and said loudly, when he talked about the inevitable victory, King Chu Hui even looked up to the sky and roared with a ferocious face.
"Must win! Must win! Must win!!!"
The voice of King Hui of Chu aroused the enthusiasm of the Chu army that had cooled down a bit. The soldiers of the Chu army waved their weapons vigorously and roared loudly, like hungry beasts.
But they did not notice that the Han army did not change in any way because of their high morale. The proud Han army was not easily influenced by others.
And with the morale of the Chu army reaching this point, logically speaking, King Chu Hui should have ended this pledge of allegiance. But King Chu Hui still felt uneasy. King Chu Hui gritted his teeth and decided to take action to arouse the blood of the soldiers. King Chu Hui raised his left hand high, held it with four fingers, and only extended his little finger. "I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom! There are only two ways for me to leave here in this battle! Kill the enemy! Die on the battlefield and be carried out! If you leave by other means! Then I am like this finger!"
After King Chu Hui finished speaking, he saw the bronze sword in his hand waved, and with a flash of blood, King Chu Hui's little finger had been cut off.
Chu Jun was silent for a moment, and then roared like a storm. If Chu Jun still had a trace of hesitation and worry before, now they have put aside everything. The only thing on his mind was to kill the enemy. As for other things, the soldiers had selectively forgotten them, including death.
?¡Han Army¡
Zilu was a little unaccustomed to riding on a war horse. Looking at Yang Zilu's resolute profile, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, do you think we should also boost morale?"
"Zilu, are you worried about your soldiers?" Yang Zilu turned his head slightly, looked at Zilu's worried bearded face, and asked calmly.
Zilu bowed to Yang Zilu on horseback and said solemnly: "Perhaps saying this will make your Majesty unhappy, but I hope your Majesty understands that this is war! From ancient times to the present, there are many weak ones who defeat the strong ones. Back then, Cao GUI Let the weak Lu State defeat the powerful overlord Qi State. Your Majesty has also defeated the strong with the weak many times. I hope that your Majesty will pay attention to the Chu army. Please don't regard them as nothing because of their weakness."
"Very good, I won't change my position because of the monarch's will!" Yang Zilu praised.
Zilu did not feel happy because of this, but his expression became more solemn. He raised his head and looked at Yang Zilu. "Your Majesty, since you think what I say makes sense! Then please adopt my opinion immediately! Time is running out!"
"No! Although what you said makes sense, I'm afraid there is one thing you don't understand!" Yang Zilu shook his head and smiled.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" Zilu did not give up because of this, but seemed to be pressing.
Yang Zilu likes Zilu more and more. Zilu is a gentleman. "Did you see Fan Chi and Ran You today?"
Zilu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I saw them this morning. They were so mysterious. I don't know what they were doing. Could it be that Your Majesty ambushed them somewhere? When the war heats up, use them to attack the enemy?"
"I can't tell! I can't tell!" Yang Zilu smiled mysteriously.
Zilu frowned, but did not continue to ask, because he knew that Yang Zilu must have something. In this case, Zilu naturally would not say anything more about it.
The eyes of the two returned to the battlefield.
Only the copper horn sound of "Du! Du!" was heard, and the Chu army advanced in a somewhat scattered formation. Although the morale of the Chu army is very high, it still cannot change the fact that they have not received much training, especially since the age span of the Chu army is very large. The old ones can reach it, and the n¨¨n ones can reach it.
How can a seventy-year-old man and a twelve-year-old boy move at the same speed as a man in his prime? In this way, when viewed from a high altitude, one can see the vast Chu army, which looks like an irregular wavy line. Even if you look at it from the front, although it is not as clear as what you can see from a high altitude, you can still see how messy the Chu army's battle formation is.
"Your Majesty, General Chou Wuyu has ordered a villain to come to your Majesty to ask for a battle, allowing the army to take advantage of the enemy's scattered formations to launch an attack!" A horse galloped over, and the rider on the horse bowed respectfully to Yang Zilu and reported.
"Pass it down! Don't launch an attack without permission!" Yang Zilu did not say the reason. Even so, the ordering soldier did not dare to ask more questions. Yang Zilu's prestige has penetrated into every corner of the Han army. It is said that among the Shanyue people further south, some people have tattooed Yang Zilu's image on their bodies.
"Your Majesty, why don't you launch an attack at this time!" In fact, Zilu almost couldn't help but want to say it before, but he couldn't find Che. But now that Chou Wuyu had asked, Zilu naturally would not give up this opportunity and took the opportunity to ask.
Yang Zilu didn¡¯t say anything. She handed the clairvoyant clairvoyance in her hand to Zilu and pointed her finger past the Chu army to the rear of the Chu army. "Look behind you, what do you see?"
"Well, although there is smoke and dust, there are still many places reflecting light. It should be an elite unit!" After careful observation, Zilu looked at Yang Zilu's calm eyes and made a conclusion cautiously and hesitantly.
"You're basically right!" Yang Zilu nodded with satisfaction. Zilu's character was trustworthy and his ability was good. He was the queen of the Chu Kingdom. He should be left to manage Chu Di. "That is the most elite and last elite unit of Chu State, Gong Jia! According to what Jiantai sent, Gong Jia has about three thousand people, but on the battlefield just now, I saw about four thousand, almost Five thousand people. It should be because Xiong Zhang, King Hui of Chu, expanded his army during this period. But no matter how you say it, he is also the most powerful tribe in Chu State. Xiong Zhang, this kid, don¡¯t send them to attack at this time. I'm afraid it just wants to lure us out and find the weakness. Then, like a stab, it stabs the target silently in the darkness and kills the target."
"So that's how it is! Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty!" Zilu sighed sincerely, and at the same time returned the monocular clairvoyance in his hand to Yang Zilu.
"No need!" Yang Zilu did not take it, but instead stuffed the clairvoyant into Zilu's arms.
"Your Majesty! This" Zilu was stunned. He knew the value of single-cylinder clairvoyance. There were only about twenty of them in Han. The platform occupies part of it, and some elite scouts occupy part of it. Many senior generals share the monocular clairvoyance with the elite scouts. Only a few three or four people can independently equip one.?clairvoyance.
And Zilu is undoubtedly a general who shares the same rank with the elite scouts, and the monocular clairvoyance is also used by Yang Zilu, which means the meaning is even more different. It's like a sword, even if it's very ordinary, it's just a sword used by ordinary soldiers. But if Yang Zilu wears it, then he will be the Emperor's Sword! He can kill any doctor who is as good as a doctor, and although the single-cylinder clairvoyance is not that powerful, it is at least equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, and Yang Zilu's trust.
"Take it! Use it well! Give it to me, to the big man, and guard this country!" Yang Zilu did not look at Zilu, but focused on the battlefield.
"Yes!" After a long while, Zi Lu responded. If you listen carefully to the voice, you can hear a few whimpering sounds. At this moment, Zilu had secretly made up his mind that even if he died, he would not be able to live up to His Majesty's expectations for him.
And during the conversation between Yang Zilu and Zilu, the Chu army had already reached a distance of eighty steps.
"The crossbowmen come out!"
With the orders coming one after another, 5,000 crossbowmen came out, including 2,000 longbowmen. The longbowmen stood in front with a firm gaze, and pulled out five or six long arrows from the quiver on their waist with some indifference. At this distance, the longbowmen with sharp eyes could already roughly see the Chu army on the opposite side. They looked like a group of soldiers.
But the longbowmen were not nervous or afraid at all, not because of anything else, but because they were the oldest army in the Han Empire, and they were the only ones.
Ten longbow soldiers came out. They held a long arrow in their hands. They observed it for a while, then slowly bent their bows and nocked the arrows. "Whoosh!" The long arrow drew an afterimage and a beautiful parabola in the air.
"Poof!" The arrow did not hit anyone, but no one felt it because the arrow was not meant to shoot people, but to test the shooting range. Although the longbow produced now has an effective range of up to 120 steps in theory. But this is just a theory. If it is on high ground and there is a tailwind, it is impossible for the effective range to fly even if it reaches a hundred steps. And if it's the other way around, the range will naturally be reduced a lot.
The terrain, wind speed, etc. are also different each time, so before each battle, the longbowmen will test fire once.
The shooting range is good. Due to the favorable wind, even if the wind speed is not strong today, the shooting range has still increased. The farthest arrow can only reach 130 steps, and the closest one is more than 120 steps. Regrettably, because of the home battle, the Chu army occupied the high ground, which further weakened the Han army's wind speed advantage. Otherwise, the effective range should have been about 130 steps. This distance allows the longbowmen to fire almost one-third more rounds of arrow rain when firing rapidly.
"What a pity!" Zilu obviously knew about this and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"No!" Yang Zilu shook his head.
"My lord, isn't it a pity?" Zilu asked in surprise.
"The battlefield is the most satisfying place in the world! So you have to relax and don't think too much about this matter. Try to expand your own advantages slowly and little by little, and don't think about other people's advantages!" Yang Zilu He said it half-teaching, half-training.
"Yes!" When Zilu heard this, his face changed in a panic, and he focused on the battlefield.
Yang Zilu nodded with satisfaction and returned his attention to the battlefield again.
At this moment, the Chu army had entered the shooting range of the Han army's longbowmen, but the longbowmen did not immediately bend their bows and nock arrows. Because the Chu army's formation is a bit sparse, the closer the distance, the more lethal it can be.
ps: Because someone in the group shamelessly led You Mumu into chatting, I was disappointed and didn¡¯t have enough time to type. All right! Mumu had to admit that because Mumu was not firm in his position, he did not have enough time to type.
Sorry, I didn¡¯t keep my word.
Another person who led You Mumu to chat, You Canzhu, also suffered retribution and lost the wrong money to someone else¡¯s account. I wonder if you friends have any way to get back the money you gave me by mistake?
With one move, Mumu would like to thank you all on behalf of Canzhu! Thanks!
