Chapter 435 436: Take advantage of the terrain to win beautiful
By cleverly taking advantage of the terrain, this is the deployment she made, and the selected location was very subtle.
The river below winds and turns, wading across the river, and the river water is at its highest point but not beyond the knees. However, above the river, there is a huge reservoir with a considerable water storage capacity.
The border defenses of Wu and Zhou countries are located in the south. This year, the south of Great Zhou is abundant, unlike the drought and lack of rain in the north.
With the order from Zhou Yanqing, the reservoir gate was wide open, like a flood discharge, and the water was surging and flooding the land. The soldiers of the Wu Kingdom who were crossing the river below were washed away by the flood.
The power of the flood is beyond the reach of manpower.
These people were submerged in the water, and this wave alone destroyed more than 800,000 troops in the Wu Kingdom.
Wu State is too confident, but the arrogant army will be defeated!
The downstream of the flood is a corpse burning pit that Zhou Yanqing had prepared in advance. The flood can be diverted here, and there are already people guarding it.
When the water gate above closed, thousands of soldiers immediately carried the oil barrel and splashed it into the pit.
These puppets refined by evil gods are essentially dead corpses. The refining method is too evil, and the key is on the head. Unless the head is cut and beheaded, even if a knife stabs into the heart and other key points, it will not affect the actions of these puppet troops at all.
When thousands of barrels of oil collected in advance and spilled into the pit, someone immediately raised a torch and threw it into the burning pit below.
More than 800,000 puppet troops were destroyed here, burned into black bones, and all the flesh and blood were melted.
This place has also become one of the famous attractions in later generations.
The comments of the Emperor Yong Yin of the Great Zhou Dynasty were both righteous and evil. Some people thought that his love was the most benevolent and righteous, while others thought that this person was cruel and ruthless. First, he killed hundreds of thousands of Han Jing outside Bian Jing, and then burned the pits in a fire, killing the puppet army of 800,000 to 900,000 in Wu.
His methods are shocked by the world and are also terrifying.
...
This is the first time that the Great Zhou has achieved such a victory since the war between Zhou and Wu. One victory is a great victory. If you use the terrain skillfully, you will completely avenge your shame and restore your morale in the army without spending a soldier.
When Wu State learned the news, it was too late, and all the damaged puppets had turned into charred bones in the burning pit.
However, Zhou Yanqing did not relax at all.
"I have lost cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty to this day. Next, we will regain our land and our people! Our compatriots in Great Zhou will never be prisoners of war in the enemy country!!"
This is a beautiful battle, and it won amazingly.
After the army and horses were reorganized, Zhou Yanqing stood on the high platform.
She has now become a weather vane in the army and the backbone of frontier soldiers.
Her words are more useful than anything else. She led the border to welcome victory. This battle shocked all countries, and even privately some people worshipped Emperor Zhou as their faith...
However, all this is just the beginning.
...
At that time, December was approaching, and a snowfall fell. On the day of the snow, Zhou Yanqing made a decision to set fire to the mountains!
The burned mountain is the mountain where the Wu Kingdom hoarded the puppet army.
This day, the northwest wind was blowing, and the fire was pouring into the sky, and all the dead trees and old forests in the mountains turned into ashes or wreckage in the flames.
The Wu Kingdom had a total of two million puppets, and first destroyed more than 800,000 in the corpse-burning pit. This time, setting fire to the mountains was equivalent to raiding the army's nest.
These two million puppets cannot be said to be destroyed, but there are only a few who escape by chance.
From then on, the Great Zhou advanced rapidly, regaining lost territory in succession, liberating the captured war slaves who were once captured by the Wu Kingdom.
