296 Breaking the Wujiang Camp!
King Xiang Wu of Chu, King Xiang Sui of Zhao, King Xiang Piguang of Jinan and other princes were filled with fear when they saw Xiao Hunhou leading a new army to advance step by step towards the Wujiang camp.
Xiao Hunhou’s tactics are simple and rough!
He landed under your nose, and then slowly moved towards you step by step. No matter how strong the camp, hundreds of stone throwers, or even a army of 500,000.
It's just that the overlord is forced to take the bow.
If you say that there are any military skills and superior strategies, you can't see them at all.
But if you say you don’t have the skills, his crushing style will make you feel cool, your heart is frightened, and you are only scared.
Because, you can't think of any way to resist his army's advancement!
The frontal resistance was directly destroyed by musketeers and small steel cannons.
Take a break from food and grass?
Useless.
Xiaohunhou's army leaned against Dajiang, and Dajiang had no flaws in his naval army's control.
...
On the podium of Wujiang Camp.
The ten princes and kings all looked pale and extremely nervous. A camp of elite infantrymen was ruined like this.
There are only ten such elite infantry camps.
"what to do?"
King Xiang Piguang of Jinan looked at the Hui army formation of Xiaohunhou in the distance, and his body was trembling.
"beat!"
"First use the battalion to attack, consuming their gunpowder and physical strength."
"Finally, all the elite infantry, pressed up! Fight hard!"
King Xiang Wu of Chu looked pale and gritted his teeth and said.
All the princes and kings nodded.
On the podium, immediately wave the flag and beat the war drums.
Now, the coalition of princes cannot attack without full force.
Xiao Hunhou's Huizi Army formation was only half a mile away from the camp. The dense artillery directly rushed into the depths of the hinterland of the camp, and the soldiers in the camp had nowhere to hide.
We must fight out and defeat the formation led by Xiao Hunhou.
...
This battle was fought from noon until almost evening.
The rumbling sound of gunfire almost stopped.
The princes first sent a battalion to fight.
Anyway, they have dozens of miscellaneous barracks, so they are not afraid of heavy losses.
However, the progress of the battle situation was different from what they expected.
Although the miscellaneous barracks consumed the gunpowder and physical strength of the court army, they were too easy to collapse and could not resist the fierce guns and cannons of the court army.
They rushed to the four camps of miscellaneous soldiers, and in less than a stick of incense, they fled.
In just half an hour, Xiaohunhou crushed and captured a camp of ten thousand people directly in front of him. In the following two hours, the soldiers became more and more skillful in cooperation. They advanced five or six miles in a row, conquered several camps, and directly attacked the center of Wujiang Camp of the princes.
If this continues, it is probably easy to directly fight the Wujiang Camp against each other.
The princes and kings were in charge of the central army. When they saw the troops of Xiaohunhou getting closer, they became more and more frightened. They quickly replaced nine elite ten-man armored camps and took turns to attack Xiaohunhou.
...
The sun sets.
"Boom!"
There was still a roar of cannons in the Wujiang Camp.
King Xiang Wu of Chu was on the podium, drinking the wine in his glass with a blank expression, but there was no taste in his mouth.
There is no need to command or something.
Just fight it!
The ten thousand elite soldiers camps were all defeated. The strong elite military foundation accumulated by the princes of Jiangbei were all defeated in this battle.
The other scattered soldiers and trampers of the miscellaneous regiments were weak before they got on the battlefield. They went on the formation and directly lay on the ground to pretend to be dead.
Anyway, no matter how hard you fight, you can't attack into the turtle shell of the square formation.
"boom!"
A shell hit the podium.
The entire podium shook violently.
The imperial army invaded the hinterland of Wujiang Daying, only half a mile away from the command platform in the center of the Daying.
More than a dozen ministers beside him knelt down and cried, urging, "King, let's go! Stay green mountains and don't worry about burning firewood! Let's hurry back to Chu State and defend the city, and have the power to fight."
"Is that so? All of my elite soldiers have been ruined. Where can there be any green mountains and where can there be any city to guard!"
King Xiang Wu of Chu smiled bitterly.
He looked around and saw that the ten princes and kings had already escaped.
Seeing that Linzi Wang Xiang Ju, this coward, saw that the situation was not good, ran away first and fled to Linzi.
Xiang Ang, the king of Jiaoxi, was the most fierce. Seeing that the situation was over, he did not escape. He drew his sword on the podium and committed suicide.
Jiaodong King Xiang Xiongqu did not believe in evil, and had already gone to the battlefield and personally went to attack Xiao Hunhou's gun and cannon formation. He has not returned yet... he doesn't know where the corpse is.
The other princes...he didn't know when they disappeared.
It doesn’t matter. The Wujiang camp has been captured by Xiao Hunhou, and the elite main force has been lost. The 500,000 army cannot stop Xiao Hunhou’s 70,000 soldiers and horses. The kings scattered birds and beasts!
King Xiang Wu of Chu was savoring the wine and enjoying the last sunset on the podium of the camp.
Escape back to Chu is meaningless!
The gun and cannon formation of Xiao Hunhou can break through the 500,000 vassal coalition forces and the Chu royal city without elite troops.
It was just the difference between dying in the Wujiang Camp, or the royal palace of Pengcheng, Chu State, and the crying of the concubines.
King Xiang Wu of Chu was, after all, a man from the Xiang family. He died on the battlefield, and he died to the point of death.
"Boom~!"
More than ten shells fell into the command platform of the coalition forces of the princes again.
The flagpole of the princes and kings on the pole and the symbol of the coalition forces was broken by a shot and fell down.
"The king's podium was captured!"
"Lost! Lost this battle."
"Everyone run away!"
The hundreds of thousands of corpses in Wujiang Camp were finally completely desperate and collapsed when they saw the captain's command platform fall.
...
Chu Tianxiu looked at the towering command platform in the camp in confusion.
The king's flag was broken.
But it was not re-hanged, and there was no response on the podium.
Are all the princes and kings dead?
Or...escape?
However, no matter what, the coalition of princes was completely defeated. Hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers fled in a swarm without any command.
He didn't care about so much and immediately ordered the army.
"quick!"
"Two 10,000 cavalry camps will be launched immediately and capture these hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers as prisoners. Don't let them escape. Otherwise, they will become scattered soldiers and raiders from all over the country and become bandits, which is very troublesome!"
"The rest of the army immediately surrounded them and forced them to surrender! The surrendered ones will not be killed. Tell them that as long as they perform well, they can return to their hometowns to farm, and pay rations and travel expenses."
Chu Tianxiu said anxiously.
Although these miscellaneous soldiers under the princes and kings did not undergo much formal training and had very weak combat power. Once they fled and became bandits, they were definitely not something ordinary people could deal with.
It is of great use to collect them, whether it is mining or putting them back to farming.
