The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters(1/2)
The Panxing River is not conspicuous on the map of Dachu, it is just a thin line. Compared with the Chi River further north, it can be completely ignored.
In the hundreds of years of history of the Great Chu, no earth-shaking event happened in this river basin that could be recorded in history.
Not to mention the rise and fall of the Great Chu in the past few hundred years, even if we go further and calculate, the beginning of the Central Plains civilization, this river will not be mentioned.
However, at this moment, the upcoming battle will surely be remembered by future generations and will leave an extremely important mark in history.
There were no people here, and they all escaped from war. This place is much closer to Yuzhou than to Daxing City. A large number of people in northern Jingzhou chose to take refuge in Yuzhou when they escaped from war.
In this way, the people who lost to Yuzhou due to the war were filled, and Yuzhou gradually recovered, but Jingzhou became increasingly difficult.
Those who can witness this battle are the soldiers on both sides. No matter who wins in the end or who will write this history, they are all narrators.
Many of the people who gather here will die and become part of the story told by survivors.
Prince Wu Yang Jiju fought for most of his life. The people all said that the emperor was the lord of the country, but the vastness of the country the emperor had seen must be far inferior to Prince Wu.
The emperor only worked hard for the country he wanted to protect in name, while Prince Wu actually sweated and bleeding in many places.
Prince Wu understands the meaning of the Great Chu Kingdom more thoroughly than the emperor.
At this time, Prince Wu had to make a decision on the north bank of the Perxing River.
His beloved general Xie Yao had just fought, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed on the south bank of the Panxing River, but this was not the end, it was just the beginning.
Next, in order to break through the huge encirclement that the Ning army was about to form, Prince Wu would see more generals and more soldiers die in battle.
During decades of war, Prince Wu had already developed a heart of iron.
Life and death are no longer worthy of sadness in his eyes.
"There is a river ahead, and the river cannot stop us. The enemy is opposite the river, and the enemy must not stop us."
Prince Wu stood in front of the team, his eyes swept over his generals and soldiers.
"After crossing this river, we can fight back to Daxing City in one breath. There should be your family, your relatives, and those waiting for you to go back in Daxing City."
He paused for a moment and his eyes swept across again.
"We are the last defenders of Da Chu, and each of us should be called a hero."
He paused again when he said this, because he almost blurted out the words he almost blurted out, so he swallowed them back.
He wanted to say that we are proud, even great, because only we are still defending the Great Chu, even if we will die in the end, our names are marked with glory. Even if our enemies laugh for the last time, we should respectfully call us heroes.
The words came to my mouth, and I didn't say them.
"We have defeated countless enemies, powerful, weak, and all kinds."
Prince Wu raised his hand and pointed to the south: "This is just one of the countless enemies we face. Their strength is only one third of ours. The enemy with more troops than theirs and more fierce enemies than them. We have won all of them. If we cannot win this time, how dare we say that we are the soldiers of the Zuo Wu Guard?!"
He looked at his general Nie Qitai: "Xie Yao is not fighting, now you are the vanguard general. If you are not fighting, I will be the vanguard general myself."
Nie Qitai stood up: "I will receive the order!"
Prince Wu slowly turned around and looked at the other side of the river, raised his hand and pointed at the other side: "Attack!"
Twenty thousand Chu troops, under the leadership of Nie Qitai, rushed towards the Ning army's defensive position as the vanguard army.
South Bank.
Tang Pidian sat on the stool and looked at the north bank. When he saw the old man walking back and forth in front of the formation, he knew that it was Prince Wu who was boosting morale for the soldiers of the Left Wu Guard.
Cheng Wujie stood behind Tang Pidian and looked at the other side with a calm expression.
"Every day we see the same sun, the same moon, and we pass the same day and the same night."
Tang Piddi sat and muttered to himself softly.
"But the sun and moon we have seen before are not our sun and moon, the day and night we have experienced are not our day and night."
"That is something that exists in itself, it is a natural thing. We are not gods, and we cannot replace the sun and the moon... Then we will change to the human world."
He whispered, "Cheng Wujie."
Cheng Wujie stood up straight with a bang: "I'm here!"
Tang Piddi said: "Whose place is under his feet?"
Cheng Wujie: "King Ning."
Tang Pidian: "Whose things on the ground belong to?"
Cheng Wujie: "King Ning."
Tang Pidian nodded: "Go, Ning Jun is here."
"call!"
Cheng Wujie responded and strode towards the formation.
Prince Wu said that it would take two days to attack the Panxing River and to rush back to Daxing City within one and a half months.
Before this battle, Prince Wu said everything he said. He said that wherever he defeated, he would definitely be able to defeat him. He said that as long as he fought, he would definitely be able to defeat him within as long as possible.
It seems that even time is within his control and is used by him.
This time.
no.
On the first day, the Chu army attacked wildly, the second day was still attacked wildly, the third day was, the fourth day, the fifth day...
For seven consecutive days, according to Prince Wu, Tianjuan was still on their side, because there was still no drop of rain and the water level of the river did not rise at all.
However, they could not defeat the Ning army's defense. Perhaps it was because the water level of the Panxing River in this area was relatively low that they saw that there were so many corpses that they almost cut off the river.
The bodies of Chu army were densely packed in the river, some were washed away, and some stayed to continue to witness.
The river water is red every day, and the red color is different every day because it comes from different people.
In seven days, the corpses on the river seemed to form a new embankment, and the water from the upstream was about to be stored here.
Prince Wu stood by the river and looked at it, his eyes slightly red.
Why?
Ning Jun seemed to have endless feather arrows, endless food, and endless desire to beat.
This is the first time that Prince Wu fought against Ning Jun in the true sense, and the first time in the true sense that he fought against Tang Mai.
Before this, he was only willing to call his Zuowu Guard the Iron Army, but at this moment, he had to admit it in his heart, and so did Ning Jun.
If another team was suppressed by his Zuo Wuwei for seven days, then...even if he was suppressed by his Zuo Wuwei for three days, his morale would have been beaten long ago.
The Ning army is different. They become more and more braver the more they fight.
Prince Wu even felt that every Ning army soldier was fighting for the land under his feet.
That feeling is...Where I stand on both feet, no one can snatch it away, and no one can snatch it away.
Eight days, nine days, ten days...
On the morning of the first day, the Chu army had lost nearly 20,000 troops. Although the losses on the Ning army must be quite large, the Ning army has extraordinary weapon configurations and the killing of the Chu army is even more brutal.
But Prince Wu also knew that the most critical moment was already at the moment.
His team was already tired, and Ning's army had fewer troops, so they would be more tired than his team.
He could have seen that Ning Jun was still in morale but not in strength, which was irreversible.
Even if you are still full of fighting spirit, but don’t have the strength to swing your sword or shoot arrows, the battle you should lose will still come.
So Prince Wu ordered that he personally supervise the battle today.
South Bank.
Tang Piddi stood in front of the formation and watched the other side tidy up the team again, and he slowly breathed out.
Ten days, for a normal team, it is indeed time to reach its limit, and everyone is exhausted to the extreme.
"Did you see the banner of Prince Wu on the other side?"
Tang Pidian raised his finger and pointed to the location of Prince Wu's banner.
His tone was not heavy at all, and he even said with some ease: "Prince Wu felt that we had reached the limit and felt that we could not hold on to this day, so he had to come in person."
Tang Pidian asked, "What should I do when he is here?"
The subordinates replied loudly: "No one can come."
Tang Pidid said: "They might have thought we had reached the limit yesterday. They probably thought so the day before yesterday, so let them continue to think so tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
He reached out to see a bow: "I will first draw the first bow. If I don't shoot the enemy's left eye, after this battle, I will dance in a grass skirt in front of you."
"Um!"
"Aoah!"
A group of people started shouting.
The Ning army soldiers saw Prince Wu going into battle in person, but they ignored it. Today, the general also went into battle in person.
Because Prince Wu actually speculated that it was similar, a person's physical strength was limited, and Ning Jun was also a human being.
