Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder. E Yufang looked back and Zhao Bohu said softly: "Your Majesty, if there is a battle tomorrow, you only need to do one thing well."

"What's the matter? Yu Fang will do his best to serve!"

Zhao Bohu gave him some instructions, and E Yufang had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face, but he still nodded and walked towards the abandoned mine------

Tonglushan had no sleep all night, everyone's eyes were red, and the soldiers were waiting for the day.

A simple Chinese army tent was set up in a hidden corner of the mountainside. People in the tent could have a panoramic view of the battlefield in the open area below the mountain. Two flag bearers stood in front of the tent, ready to use flags to convey the Chinese army's message to the people down the mountain.

Order. Next to the tent, a tall firewood pile has been set up. All you need to do is light it. When the two battalions at the foot of the mountain see the fireworks, they will attack at the same time.

It seemed that everything was ready, just waiting for the enemy to appear. Zhao Bohu sat behind the desk in the central military tent, closed his eyes and carefully sifted through the war plan in his mind to see if there was anything else.

The omission. Ji Hu stared at him very nervously. The child had never experienced such a tense and dangerous moment. His little fists were clenched tightly and his brows were wrinkled as tightly as Zhao Bohu.

At this time, everything in Tonglu Mountain, whether on the mountain or in the camps at the foot of the mountain, was quiet. This was the tranquility before the war was about to break out, and it was suffocating------

The Chu army's journey was half a day ahead of Fan Zi's advance. It was almost noon, and the rising dust and the noise of carriages and horses from the south announced the arrival of King Xiongqu of Chu.

Xiong Qu glanced sideways at the Tonglu Mountain not far away, his eyes unconcealed of his greed and desire. Tonglu Mountain is the location of the largest copper mine in the Zhou Dynasty. With it, the Chu State will become the leading country, and it can strengthen its troops.

North refers to the Central Plains.

"Haha, Tonglu Mountain!" Xiong Qu pointed the halberd at the top of the Tonglu Mountain excitedly, laughing loudly: "It only takes half a day, and it will be in the palm of the lonely king!"

"The king is mighty—the king is mighty—" the shouts of the Chu army shook the earth.

Deep in the woods of Tonglu Mountain, Ji Duoyou and the soldiers held their weapons tightly, nervously waiting for the sound of the marching drum. At the foot of the mountain, the Chu army began to form an array, and a burst of chariots and horses stirred up dust in the sky.

Zhao Bohu opened his eyes, and his bright eyes radiated a cold light. He picked up a sign on the table and threw it out, shouting: "Attack!"

The two flag-bearers waved the red flags in their hands, and the shirtless drummer in front of the tent beat the cowhide drum vigorously. Suddenly, the "rumbling" drum sound resounded through Tonglu Mountain. With this drum sound, countless chariots came from the woods.

, rushed out of the bushes, swooped down the mountain, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

E Yufang rushed outside the tent and took a look, then turned his face, licked his lips twice, and finally sat down again without saying anything.

"What do you want to say, Your Majesty? But there's no harm in saying it." Zhao Bohu glanced at him.

E Yufang smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said: "Nothing. It's just that as the old saying goes, 'No drums, no formations.' Seeing that the Chu army had not formed a formation, they swooped down like this. I'm afraid if we talk about it in the future, they will say that we don't pay attention to war etiquette.

.”

"Etiquette?" Zhao Bohu smiled contemptuously: "War means killing people. In a place of life and death, what etiquette can be said? The enemy and we are both powerful. If we want to win, we must take advantage of their unstable footing to strike a fatal blow.

, either you die or I die, what kind of courtesy can you say? With such pedantic words from Prince E, is it any wonder that he has to escape alone?"

E Yufang's face turned red and he couldn't say a word. Zhao Bohu also felt that his words were too serious, so he changed the subject: "If the war is not going well, I must never forget what I entrusted you yesterday." After speaking, he glanced at me.

He glanced at Ji Hu.

"Yufang vows to live up to the entrustment of the king's envoy."

The Chu army is busy setting up camp. According to Xiong Qu's plan, they want to surround the Tonglu Mountain and then attack upwards. Whether it is cavalry or chariots, they are only suitable for fighting in the open plains. If they attack from the bottom up, it will be extremely disadvantageous.

Therefore, besieging Tonglu Mountain, cutting off its water supply, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack is the most cost-effective way of attack.

But Xiong Qu never expected that the opponent would suddenly swoop down before he could gain a firm footing. He was really caught off guard. The ground under his feet was shaking constantly, and the opponent rushed down extremely fast, before Chu could even wait.

The army reacted, and before the archers had time to assemble, more than 300 military vehicles rushed to the front of the formation.

"Don't panic! Establish your position!" Xiong Qu, with his halberd on his horse, ordered the sergeants to prepare to meet the enemy.

"Ah——" "Ah——" screams were heard from all sides. Countless war horses beside Xiong Qu fell down, countless chariots overturned on the ground, and the severed horse legs were displayed all over the ground. Looking at the enemy's chariots, two sides

Each wheel was equipped with a long spike, which shone with a dazzling brass light in the midday sun. It turned out that these were not ordinary chariots, but chariots equipped with spikes.

Suddenly, the Chu army was in chaos. Countless chariots and chariots were pierced in the chest by Zhou Jun's spears before they could stand up. The cavalry were not much better, and were killed by more than 300 Zhou Jun chariots.

The collision knocked everyone's back, and even those who were lucky enough not to be hit could not escape the copper thorns of the enemy's chariots. Blood flowed into rivers, and corpses littered the fields.

Xiong Qu's father and son were extremely skilled in martial arts. Although their military chariots were destroyed, they each grabbed horses and fought their way out of the encirclement.

"Father, the war is not going well, please pay me gold quickly!" Xiong Kang said to his father.

"That's all we have to do."

Xiong Qu was about to give the order when suddenly there was a sound of drums on the mountain, and a wisp of fireworks was lit halfway up Tonglu Mountain. Suddenly the camp gates of the East and West Battalions at the foot of the mountain opened wide, and two teams of people came out again. The east side was holding a flag with the word "Shen", and the west side was holding a "Shen" flag.

The men and horses hold the three-character flags of "Quan", "Luo" and "Fan" respectively.

Seeing that almost half of the 30,000 troops he had brought with him were lost, and now two more troops were killed, Xiong Qu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God! Is it that I, Xiong Qu, am going to be buried under the Tonglu Mountain today?"

Xiong Qu was determined that he would die here today. He pulled out an arrow, pointed at the Chinese military tent on the mountainside, held his breath, fired an arrow, and roared: "My father and son will be buried here today."

, kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one! Kill!"

The arrow went straight towards the Chinese military tent. At this time, all the generals were sent out. Only Zhao Bohu, Ji Hu and E Shizi were left in the tent. It was half a mile from the foot of the mountain to the Chinese military tent.

Yao, no one could have imagined that this arrow could actually shoot into the account and go straight towards Zhao Bohu.

It was too late to protect him! Zhao Bohu pushed down the desk in front of him and lay down behind the chopping board to make a simple cover. Hearing a "beep" sound, the arrow penetrated straight into the chopping board and penetrated the wood at least four to five inches.

Shen Jihu climbed up and tried to pull out the arrow. He tried his best to pull out the arrow, but the arrow still couldn't move. E Yufang also tried it, but it still couldn't move.

"Sure enough, Xiong Qu has the ability to shoot rocks without feathers. When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it. Alas! What a pity! He is so brave, but he is born to be rebellious!" Zhao Bohu repeatedly exclaimed, "It's a pity."

At the foot of the mountain, Xiong Qu and his son were in a desperate situation. After fighting for two hours, there were only more than a thousand soldiers around them.

As soon as Shen Hou reached out his hand and ordered the attack to be suspended, he rode forward, intending to persuade the King of Chu to surrender.

He drove forward and shouted to Xiong Qu loudly: "Chu Zi, you are in a desperate situation, why don't you surrender?"

"Hahaha------" Xiong Qu's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, and the armor on his body was soaked with blood. It was not clear whether it was his own blood or the blood of others. His eyes were red, and he was laughing wildly.

Ferocious. At the end, he stopped laughing wildly and asked: "Surrender? What a joke, who are you surrendering to?"

"The King's Master has arrived. Naturally, your Chu Kingdom surrenders to the Emperor. Go to Haojing to plead guilty. The Emperor is merciful. We and the princes of Jianghan and Han will intercede for you. We can keep your surname Mi and continue to worship your father and son.

Life is safe."

"What a joke!" Xiong Hong pointed at Shen Hou with the long sword in his hand: "We Chu people would rather die standing than live on our knees!"

Xiong Kang seemed to have been injured by an arrow in his leg, and he stood up with difficulty: "It's impossible for us to surrender!"

Xiong Qu looked at his two sons with a smile and turned to Shen Hou: "You all heard it, right? Why didn't my ancestors of the Chu people follow the Zhou Dynasty's footsteps and obey their advice? But what's the result? King Wu's enfeoffment didn't even think of my family with the surname Mi. It's so easy.

King Wen made my ancestor Xiong Yi a small viscount, only fifty miles away from Danyang. In order to pay tribute to the king of Zhou, the people of Chu did not hesitate to steal cattle from neighboring countries. What happened? Like servants and slaves, they arranged to keep the sacrificial fire.

My people were heartbroken and stopped paying tribute to the dynasty. Instead, King Zhao wanted to march south in person. What was the result? He died and his teacher was mourned---Hahaha. From then on, I, the people of Chu, understood that the only way to do this was to use swords.

Only by proving our strength can we force the Central Plains to take us seriously."

"As for giving up the title of king." He thrust the halberd in his hand into the ground at his feet and said word by word: "I am a barbarian, and I will not share the title of king with China."

Marquis Shen was so beaten that he could not speak. He pointed at the father and son, his beard trembling constantly: "We share the same land and water, so I can persuade you. Since you are so stubborn and ineffective, there is no need to be polite."

Ji Duoyou could no longer hold himself back, raised his hand and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"

A dozen archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, bent one leg, and were ready to release arrows. On the Chu formation, a group of warriors holding bamboo shields gathered around Xiong Qu, protecting the three kings of Chu and his son in the middle.

At this critical moment, I suddenly heard the sound of arrows, and the arrows were carrying the sound of wind. The archers fell to the ground one after another. Looking up into the distance, I saw a group of people holding the flag with the word "Chu", and they were rushing.

Run in this direction quickly.

"No, they have reinforcements!" Ji Duoyou drew his sword and said to Shen Hou: "It's too late to retreat, we have to rush forward and kill for a while!"

This was reinforcements from the Chu State's Ling Yin. It turned out that Xiong Qu's attack on Tonglu Mountain was divided into two groups. One group was led by him personally and marched directly from Echeng; the other group was led by Ling Yin Mi Zhao's 30,000 soldiers and 200 military chariots.

Marched directly from Danyang. The latter route was originally used for support. Unexpectedly, Xiongqu was delayed by the Fan army, so he followed the previous route to Tonglu Mountain.
