Chapter 109: Heavy Rain Attack (Thanks to Lu Dashi for 2 monthly tickets)
The rumbling sound of heavy rain covered the sound of iron hooves and marching.
The thick dark clouds wrapped the sky and the earth in the darkness. It was clear that the ancient forest in the wind and rain was like a giant beast, and could not see anything clearly. There were large troops carrying arrows, weapons, and even dry food in the dense forest. They touched the night rain to flatten the grassland in the jungle and drove straight into the hinterland of the plains.
As the capital of Zheng, Xinzheng's strategic significance for the two countries of Chu and Jin that wanted to conquer south and north was self-evident.
The Jin and Song Guards Alliance Camp in heavy rain lined up every ten miles from the Funiu Mountains to Xinzheng. After the patrol soldiers rang the third gongs and drums in the Song State Camp in heavy rain, the sound of each other rising and falling sounds sounded in the military camp, either low or high, and finally all drowned in the heavy rain outside the tent.
The Northern Alliance, which was attacked fiercely by the Chu army for many days, was finally able to take advantage of the heavy rain to wait for a day or two to repair weapons, chariots, catapults, feather arrows, defense defects in attacking Gu camps, and dig deep into trenches...
At this time, Hua Yuan didn't know that Hua Xu was captured, so he took off his sword, sat in front of the couch and rubbed his sore limbs, and couldn't help but curse, "The barbarians are barbarians. I agreed to agree on the battlefield and time. I don't want any war etiquette in the future. I will fight if I want, and retreat if I want, and I will not give anyone any preparation and rest, and time for meals."
While complaining, Hua Yuan pulled up the quilt and finally could steal a breath and fall asleep.
Ruoao Ziyan was wet with heavy rain and was soaked all over. He personally led the Iron Guards led by Ruoao and Sun Wuyi to bypass the defense line of Jin State in front and quickly marched towards the Xinzheng Capital, the last line of defense guarded by the Song army in the rear.
Because of the detour, the two are nearly fifty miles apart.
In addition, the heavy rain is moving slowly, so you should try not to make too loud noises or noises, and look at the city on the banks of the Yellow River in the distance, which is still vaguely lit by the fire.
Thirty miles!
Twenty miles!
The outline of the city is getting clearer and clearer in the heavy rain!
Ten miles away, the soldiers on the city wall could already vaguely see it!
Five miles!
Through the torches in Jiang Liu's hand, Ruo Ao Ziyan, who used the dense forest to cover up the journey of the Chu army, could already see the towering walls that stood nearly ten feet high, and the continuous undulating Song State camp under the walls.
Facing his 30,000 cavalry, the Song army in front of him was just a line of defense for him.
If Ao Ziyan was riding on the war horse, and the Qingpu River was guarding the side, he said in a deep voice: "My grandfather has already restrained the main force of the Jin and Guards in the rear. Now, as long as we take the entire Song army camp tonight and pinch the entire Northern Alliance from the rear, we will be able to drag the entire Northern Alliance to death. When the small amount of food and grass left are consumed, then in this battle, the Northern Alliance will be defeated without attacking and we will be able to break the siege of Zheng without taking huge casualties."
Sun Wuyi was driving his horse and listening to his bold plan beside him. His eyes lit up and bowed and asked for his order, "Okay! The prince-consort, Wuyi is willing to lead the Iron Guards to lead the way for the prince-consort first!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan laughed and nodded, "That Ziyan is here waiting for his righteous brother to behead the head of Song Guohua!"
"Let's see my Iron Guards!"
Sun Wuyi shouted loudly, grabbed the reins of the horse, held the bronze halberd in his hand, and clamped the horse's thighs with both legs. The iron guard behind him suddenly raised the Sun Hou Zhan Banner with a three-pointed iron halberd in the rain. With a "clang", the cold edge cut through the continuous heavy rain, unsheathed, and crossed the bloodthirsty green light in the dark rain!
In an instant, thousands of horses galloped!
The howling roar shook the sky. There was no need to hide at this distance. At this time, they will use the blade to harvest all the enemies in front of them!
Sun Wuyi was extremely excited.
Under the leadership of Ruo Ao Ziyan, this battle occupied all the fighter opportunities and the upper hand than ever before. Even the Jin army, which took the initiative, was caught off guard by their successive attacks.
According to Ruo Ao Ziyan's plan, the siege of Zheng State can be lifted in less than three months, and the Northern coalition forces will withdraw from the battlefield of Zheng State, defeat the first blood Chengpu, and end the war early. What remains is to defeat the official game among the princes after the negotiations.
"kill!"
Sun Wuyi shouted loudly and rushed forward, and everyone in the Iron Guard behind him rushed bravely.
When the Song army in front heard this shout, they discovered the other party's existence. A dark tide of soldiers came all over the sky, the horses neighed and the long roars to the sky...
It means that the Chu army is coming in an instant.
At this time, no one needed notification. The trembling ground had already awakened everyone. Whether it was sleeping soldiers or the generals who had just fallen asleep, they all raised their swords to meet the enemy.
No one knew how the Chu army bypassed the Jin Guard coalition and raided in front of them. The Song army had only had time to rush out of the tent and shouted: "Enemy attack! Fight!"
Hua Yuan wanted to wear his iron armor, but Sun Wuyi gave him no time. The other generals of the Song army were in a hurry and hurriedly organized soldiers to attack. The horses were placed five hundred meters ahead. The sharpened wooden stakes aimed at the Iron Guards rushing forward, a row of shield players behind them, and then the Yulin Guards pulled their bows and arrows, waiting for them to hit the arrows within a hundred-step range.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
"shoot!"
Thousands of horses gallop, and sharp arrows are thriving.
This is a fight without any suspense.
Under the cover of Sun Wuyi's iron cavalry, feather arrows brought countless rain flowers in the heavy rain, intertwined with the wild laughter of the Chu army, shooting towards the Song army like locust tides, with a burst of force, covering the sky and the Song army, who had just rushed out of the camp and ready to die. Following the steps of the Iron Guards, Ruo Ao, led by Ruo Ziyan, rushed towards the Song army, like a human flesh harvester.
The Song army surrounded Huayuan and continued to flee to the northern Song State. Ruoao Ziyan rode a war horse in the rain and led Ruoao and his troops to pursue for a whole day, traveling through half of the Zheng State, creating the most farthest pursuit of the defeated army in the Spring and Autumn Period, and swept across all the remnants of the Song army, one of the northern coalition forces in the hinterland of the Central Plains. A turning point in the battle between Chu and Jin, which was later called the "War of Avengers" and thus rekindled the undefeated reputation of the Golden Phoenix Banner of the six tribes of the Chu State Ruoao.
The Zheng army, who had been defending the city for nearly fifty days, opened the city gate to welcome the Chu army. Chu and Zheng joined forces. The Song army was finally defeated by Daji. Huayuan was captured, and Le Lu and 460 chariots were captured. He also cut off the grain route for Jin to protect the country and squeezed the Jin army's throat to the south.
When Zhao Chuan received the news of the defeat of the Song Kingdom, he ordered people to ask for help from Qin Kingdom quickly. At the same time, a handwritten letter from Ruo Ao Ziyan was also sent to Qin Kingdom for several days.
The Qin State, which was eyeing the two heroes of Chu and Jin, had actually stationed troops in the Qin territory long ago, waiting for the war to be announced and waiting for the price to be sold.
"This letter from the prince-consort will definitely make Qin Gong turn against each other when he comes to Qin Gong, haha..." Sun Wuyi thought of the souvenir letter Ruo Ao Ziyan wrote to Qin Gong, and praised him repeatedly, "The Jin army will retreat within half a month!"
