Chapter 230
Chu and Han compete for the tripod 230, Chu and Han compete for the tripod 230 Can't escape from the battle
In the Hengshan Army camp, Mei Yu was surrounded by Gengsheng, Gengwang, Mei Yin, Mei Cheng and other generals, nervously inspecting the defense of the entire camp. To be honest, the sudden appearance of the Chu army caught Mei Yu off guard. He really couldn't believe that the Chu army dared to take the initiative to attack and expedition to Fanyi at this time.
You know, the Chu State was definitely in a state of great power at this time. If nothing unexpected happens, King Yingbu of Huainan, King of Minyue Si Luoyao, Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, Li Zuoche and others have all gathered troops in all directions. If it were ordinary people, they would definitely only dare to be trembling and divide their troops to garrison, but Xiang Zhuang actually dared to take the initiative!
It would be fine if he took the initiative to attack, but he actually chose the Hengshan Army, which was not as strong as the Huainan Army. He also dared to go deep into Hengshan Kingdom for hundreds of miles. The army went on an expedition to attack the Hengshan Army's Fanyi camp! Xiang Zhuang's son was too arrogant. He really thought the Hengshan Army was easy to bully, and he really thought that his Mei Yan was just a decoration?
Thinking of this, Mei Jing was also very angry. Xiang Zhuang was too arrogant.
"There is still a gap in Luzhai here, so I will add two more points."
"What's going on? Why is there a gap in the fence here? Get it done quickly."
"The caltrops outside this trench must be sprinkled again to prevent sneak attacks!"
While walking, Mei Kai commanded the Hengshan Army soldiers along the way to rectify the battalion and strengthen defense.
While inspecting, suddenly, personal soldiers rushed over and reported to Mei Yan extremely sadly: "General, Chu army, Chu army has arrived..."
"Hmm? It's coming so fast!"
Mei Kai's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly climbed the watchtower on the inside of the camp with Geng Sheng and others.
Standing on the watchtower, looking down, I saw a black and tide of soldiers emerging from the wilderness to the east. First, a large yellow cage was flying in the wind. There was a hideous and ostentatious character "Chu". After the cage, there was a spear like a forest and an endless ocean of iron armor.
"The great China, the etiquette and music are broken!"
"The only one who reorganizes the rivers and mountains is my great Chu!"
Countless soldiers of the Chu army lined up in a rigorous formation and approached the Hengshan camp. Every time they took a step forward, they would make a loud roar. Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together, gathering into a huge wave of sound, and they were about to pierce the sky. Although the Hengshan soldiers guarding behind the camp were several miles away, they were shocked to feel a faint pain in their eardrums.
While waiting for a suffocating, the Chu army finally approached outside the Hengshan camp.
Suddenly, a grown-up general of Chu had already strode from the formation to outside the gate of Hengshan Camp. About a hundred steps apart, the general stopped suddenly and inserted the dark sword in his hand into the grassland in front of him, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Hu Yan, the captain of the Great Chu Tianlang, is here, who dares to fight with a certain battle?!"
Mei Cheng, who was standing behind Mei Qing, was furious and turned around to go out to fight.
"Second brother, don't be reckless!" Mei Jing stopped it quickly. The Chu State has always had many powerful generals, from Xiang Yu to Xiangzhuang, they are all enemies of ten thousand people. The Chu army general in front of him is obviously not Yi and is definitely not an enemy of the generals of Hengshan State. Although the second brother Mei Cheng is a little brave, if he wants to fight against the powerful generals of Chu State, he is simply seeking death.
"Hmph, let's see how the last one shot this guy!" Geng Sheng on the other side groaned, immediately took the iron-body bow with two stones from the hands of his personal soldiers behind him, and then pulled a heavy wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb on the bowstring, then pulled the bowstring, and exhaled and opened the sound of the sound of the generals of Chu outside the gate.
But unfortunately, this arrow that was as powerful as thunder was easily pushed away by General Chu.
It was time to say that the Chu general outside the gate also removed a dark longbow from his shoulder, reached out and took out four heavy wolf-toothed arrows from his back, and then pressed them on the bowstring at the same time. The general Chu shouted loudly, and the dark longbow had already been pulled into a full moon shape!
Mei Kai's face suddenly changed. It turned out that four arrows shot volleys?!
"Prime General!" Mei Yin, who had already broken his arm, was instinctively instinctively and immediately stopped in front of Mei Yan. In the midst of lightning, four heavy arrows of wolf teeth shot onto the watchtower like lightning, separating Mei Yin's throat, chest, abdomen, and left and right sides, even Mei Yin's dodge was blocked.
"Uh..." Mei Yin then screamed in great sarcasm again.
Mei Jing, Geng Sheng, when Geng Wang looked at it quickly, he saw that Mei Yin had been hit by two arrows, one of which passed directly through his throat, and the sharp three-edged arrows came out of his neck. Blood dripped down the grooves between the arrows like a spring, but Mei Yin's eyes dimmed in an instant.
"Mei Yin?" Mei Qing was stunned and roared loudly.
"Prime General!" Gengsheng and Mei Cheng roared together. When Mei Yu looked back quickly, he saw that the general of Chu State outside the gate had once again packed the dark longbow. Then several cold stars roared towards the watchtower with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. However, at this time, personal soldiers had already swarmed in and formed a shield wall in front of Mei Yu.
"Damn it!" Mei Yin was so angry that he turned his head and shouted, "Arrower, archer! Thousands of arrows are fired at this general, and shoot this bastard to death..." Mei Yin, a clan brother who had always been highly anticipated by him, actually let General Chu shoot him under his nose. How could Mei Yin feel?
Thousands of Hengshan archers quickly gathered to the inside of the gate.
As Mei Yan fell from his sword, thousands of feather arrows had already swept into the air, and then formed an endless rain of arrows in the air, and piled up the Chu general who was a hundred steps away from the gate. The Chu general named Hu Yan was stunned when he looked at the raindrops falling in the sky, and then turned around and ran away with a wolf howling.
The Chu general was tall and long legs, and his long legs were rotating like a windmill. In just a moment, he ran forward dozens of steps, but he reached the range of the Hengshan archers. When the Hengshan archers' arrow rain fell to the ground, the Chu general suddenly turned around and turned around, lifted up his battle robe and urinated at the Hengshan camp, making every effort to provoke.
The next moment, there were also a sound of roars in the Chu army formation.
"Mei Kai is a turtle with his head, and Hengshan Army is a coward who is afraid of death!"
"Mei Kai is a turtle with his head, and Hengshan Army is a coward who is afraid of death!"
"Mei Kai is a turtle with his head, and Hengshan Army is a coward who is afraid of death!"
Gengsheng was furious and shouted: "General, the Chu army is too bullying, let's go to war!"
Mei Cheng also echoed sternly: "Yes, brother, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Instead of being afraid of the enemy and being humiliated by others, it is better to go out to the camp to fight. Even if you are defeated and killed, you will still be honored even if you die!"
Geng Wang also narrowed his eyes and said, "Although the Chu army's troops are strong, they are only about 20,000, while our army's troops exceed 100,000, which is several times more than the enemy. If we gather together with five times the crowd, we will be able to defeat them."
"No, military advisor, you underestimate the Chu army." Mei Jing quickly recovered from his calmness, shook his head and said, "The Chu army dared to launch an expedition with 20,000 troops and horses, and went deep into the hinterland of Hengshan Kingdom. It can be seen that these 20,000 troops are elite troops who have experienced many battles. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of farmers, woodcutters or hunters who were temporarily recruited."
"And, the leading generals of the 20,000 Chu army may be Xiang Zhuang's son himself. Xiang Zhuang's son is extremely brave and cunning, and it is extremely difficult to deal with." After saying this, Mei Jing said again, "If you pass the order, each army will only guard its own camp. Without the general order of this general, no one will be allowed to fight easily. Violators... will be executed immediately!"
"Then let the Chu army be so arrogant?" Mei Cheng said anxiously, "Brother!"
"Shut up!" Mei Jing scolded honestly and unceremoniously, "As long as you can die in the camp, defeat the Chu army and make the Chu army arrogant outside the camp for a few days, huh?" After saying this, Mei Jing looked around the generals and said, "I wonder if you have noticed that although this Chu army is coming in a fierce manner, there is very little baggage for carrying!"
"Huh?" Geng Sheng said, "It seems that it is true, there is not even a marching cauldron."
Geng Wang said thoughtfully: "The General is saying that the Chu army is trying to fight and decide quickly with our Hengshan army?"
Mei Jing sneered: "Hehe, the State of Chu is facing the threat of the seven-root coalition forces. The foundation of Jiangdong may be destroyed at any time. These 20,000 Chu troops are mostly Xiangzhuang's elite main force. How dare you delay the Hengshan Kingdom for too long?" After saying this, Mei Jing said again, "So, our army must choose to attack with the strong force!"
Most of the 100,000 Hengshan Army were temporarily recruited. The combat effectiveness was very different from that of the veterans of the Chu army, and the military discipline was incomparable. If they were in the field, they would probably be defeated by the Chu army in one fell swoop. But if they were defended by the camp, they would be able to make up for the gap in combat effectiveness of the two armies to a large extent and could also give full play to the advantage of the large number of soldiers in Hengshan.
Geng Wang whispered: "But General, our army does not have much military ration."
At present, the military rations stored in the Hengshan camp are only 20,000 stones, which is only enough for a hundred thousand troops to eat for seven days. Although the Chu army outside the camp did not carry too much baggage, they have few soldiers. It should be no problem to support the military rations they carry with them for ten days and half a month. Therefore, if the two sides confront each other, the Hengshan army was the first to run out of food, not the Chu army.
Mei Jing said calmly: "Our army has not much military ration, but the Chu army doesn't know."
Mei Cheng disagreed and said, "Our army's grain stock is there, how much grain is there for several granaries? The Chu army just needs to send scouts to climb the nearby mountain and look down, and then you will know everything?"
Mei Jiao frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem."
Geng turned his eyes and said, "General, the last general has a plan to deceive the Chu army's eyeliner."
Mei Jing said: "Military advisor, what's the plan?"
Geng Wang said: "You can make the soldiers in the army make tens of thousands of sacks overnight, then fill the soil and pile them outside the grain storage tanks in the open air. When the Chu army scouts go up the mountain, they will temporarily build a granary, and then transport these sacks filled with soil into the granary. In this way, it will create the illusion that our army has too much food to be placed."
"Good plan!" Mei Jing praised, "That's it!"
