With more than 200,000 troops from the Qi-Wu coalition facing less than 100,000 Yue troops in front of them, it would be easy to defeat the Yue army if they launched a fierce attack. However, since the Yue State was seeking peace, the Qi-Wu coalition forces naturally stopped advancing and fought against the Yue troops in front of them.
The confrontation between Vietnamese troops.
The army of Dali State continued to march straight in, rapidly encroaching on the western territory of Yue State.
King Ping of the Yue Kingdom had already reported the Yue Kingdom's intention to seek peace, and also informed King Wuyou Qi Si. Since Qi Si knew about the division of territory in the peace talks, he naturally led the Dali army to actively advance into the territory of the Yue Kingdom.
The King of Yue received the reply from the State of Qi. He could accept the territory ceded to Dali in the west, but the land in the south was also extremely fertile territory of the State of Yue. A lot of grain was produced here, so it was really unreasonable to give it to the State of Chu for free.
Unwilling to do so, he saw that the Qi and Wu coalition forces had stopped their offensive, so he arranged for peace envoys to negotiate with the Qi army to delay for some time. At the same time, he strictly ordered the Vietnamese army that besieged the Chu army to completely annihilate the trapped Chu army before the Qi army could rescue them.
Drive the Chu army back to the border to create favorable conditions for the subsequent peace talks. As for the southwest, the King of Yue ordered the Vietnamese army to retreat as quickly as possible to the defense areas drawn by King Ping, and all other places were abandoned. This
It also made King Wuyou lead the Dali army to attack the city and strongholds, and was invincible. King Wuyou's reputation became even stronger than before.
The commander of the Vietnamese army to besiege the Chu army was Huangfu Nianfeng, the trusted general of the King of Yue. Huangfu Nianfeng had obtained the King of Yue's order and knew that he had a heavy responsibility and that the time limit was only three to five days. The Vietnamese army had 120,000 troops. At this time, Huangfu Nianfeng
There were nearly 50,000 troops surrounding the Chu army.
Huangfu Nianfeng led his generals in front of the formation and looked at the Chu army's camp. He and his generals all knew that the leader of the Chu army was Chu Huan, the general of the Chu state. Chu Huan had been on the battlefield all year round and was the number one in the Chu state.
A fierce general with excellent strategies and bravery to defeat the three armies. Huangfu Nianfeng knew that this battle was related to the rise and fall of the Yue State. Only by annihilating the current Chu army could he gain some initiative in the peace talks with Qi and at the same time weaken the strength of the Chu State.
, Reduce the threat from Chu to Yue.
Looking at the neatly organized Vietnamese troops behind him, Huangfu Nianfeng raised the big gun in his hand and ordered the drums to be beaten to advance.
At the same time, in the Chu army camp, Chu Huan was seriously ill due to days of fighting, and was tightly besieged by the Vietnamese army, unable to receive timely treatment. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chu Huan was strictly ordered not to leak the news of his illness. Chu Huan was lying in the camp
While resting, I heard my general coming in to report that the Vietnamese army had all come out, and he seemed to have the intention of launching a total attack on the Chu army. I felt so anxious that I couldn't help but cough repeatedly and vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood. My guards hurriedly went to call the military doctor.
, was stopped by Chu Huan. Chu Huan ordered his horse to be prepared quickly, and then with the help of his guards, he mounted the horse and ordered the whole army to stand ready for a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army.
Chu Huan rode his war horse and passed slowly in front of the army, without showing a trace of illness on his face. When the Chu army saw General Chu coming out in high spirits, the worries of the past few days dissipated.
Chu Huan led several generals to occupy the camp. Looking out through the fence, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops had already formed a formation around the camp, slowly advancing towards the Chu camp with long strides. The Chu army's bows and arrows
The hands are also ready. Behind them are the spearmen and the cavalry are also ready to attack at any time.
When Chu Huan was ill, he ordered the Chu army to spread antlers and branches on three sides of the camp, strengthen wooden fences, and prepare more bows and arrows. He also deployed cavalry at the south gate to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking.
Now the Vietnamese army is still launching its final attack, and Chu Huan knows that it is time for the final decisive battle.
Chu Huan sent an order to open the gates of the camp. He did not wait for the Vietnamese army to approach and attack. He led the Chu army's cavalry to attack the Vietnamese army head-on.
Thousands of Chu army cavalry roared and rushed out of the camp, charging towards the incoming Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army was still slowly approaching, but when they saw the Chu army launching a counterattack, the generals in front of the formation also swung their swords.
, led the troops and rushed forward.
The two sides started a battle in front of the Chu army's camp. Although Chu Huan knew that he was ill, the battle was important, so he could only grit his teeth and lead the Chu army to fight fiercely with the Vietnamese army. The pro-military guards around him were even more fierce.
She followed him desperately to protect him.
Along with the frontal conflict, the Vietnamese troops from the other three sides also approached the Chu camp. A large number of Vietnamese troops shouted and rushed towards the Chu camp with their weapons raised high. The crossbowmen and spear throwers in the Chu camp fired their crossbows one after another.
The Vietnamese troops rushed up. Outside the walls of the camp, corpses of the Vietnamese troops were soon piled up.
The archers of the Vietnamese army also reached the shooting range, bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at the Chu camp. For a while, the sky was full of arrows, and the wails of the soldiers who were hit by arrows shook the sky.
Chu Huan rushed to kill for a while. Sitting on the horse, he felt dizzy and the earth was spinning. He almost fell off the horse several times. Fortunately, there were some generals to protect him. Some generals saw that the general was seriously ill, and the current attack by the Vietnamese army was extremely fierce. Today
This battle was definitely not going to go well, and it was almost impossible to win, so he couldn't help but lead Chu Huan to break out of the encirclement in the direction of Chu State.
Huangfu Nianfeng saw Chu Huan's commander in the distance and had been directing people to attack him. At this time, he saw that Chu Huan seemed to be trying to escape. How could he let Chu Huan escape? He waved the big gun in his hand and chased after him personally.
Go up. The Vietnamese generals followed closely behind, chasing Chu Huan and his party.
During the fight, the Chu army saw the commander's banner heading towards the Chu State, and knew that the commander had abandoned them and fled. As a result, the Chu army became disheartened, and some generals and soldiers abandoned their positions and fought out.
Encamped in the camp and fled towards the direction of Chu State.
Originally, Chu Huan was besieged and asked the King of Chu for help. The King of Chu informed King Ping, the commander of the Qi-Wu coalition forces, and King Ping promised to send troops to rescue immediately. At the same time, the King of Chu also prepared to send reinforcements from Chu. However, Prime Minister Dongfang Yin proposed that the Chu State should
We must not draw any more troops. When Chu Huan went out, he only brought 60,000 troops and horses. He was worried that once all the troops were gone, the country would be empty and attacked by Qi, Wu and Dali armies. This was also the suggestion of General Chu Huan, so now
We must not send troops. In fact, Dongfang Yin listened to what King Ping said in Qi State and secretly planned for himself. Now that the peace talks have just been concluded, he is still a popular person in front of King Chu, and the peace faction in the court is also headed by him.
The main battle in the court was extremely hostile to him. The main battle was Chu Huan, led by the Chu Qi brothers. This time Chu Huan was besieged, Dongfang Yin wanted to use the Yue sword to get rid of this political enemy. Chu Qi was stationed in
Wucheng was on guard against the Qi army. It was far away from Chu Huan. Although he wanted to rescue him, he was unable to do so. Most of the people left behind in the court were the Zhuhe faction headed by the prime minister. They all followed Dongfang Yinma's lead and just followed the prime minister to join him. The king of Chu also
He listened, but he didn't send any troops. Chu Huan also relied on his authority and didn't urge the King of Chu for several days. Until today, seeing the defeat, he had no choice but to break out, but he remembered that he had no response. Can he defeat the Vietnamese army and return to the encirclement?
When you go to Chu State, you can only rely on God's will.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the Chu army, the Vietnamese army captured the Chu army's camp in one fell swoop, and then carried out a massacre of the Chu army. The Chu army suffered numerous casualties, some fled and others surrendered. Chu Huan knew in his heart that the defeat was certain, and he
When he was seriously ill, running would only drag down his cronies. As a general, he had fought in battles all his life and had few defeats. He was not willing to be captured by the Vietnamese army, so he walked on the road and took advantage of the generals fighting around him to ignore himself.
In the meantime, he drew his sword and killed himself. The generals under his command tried to snatch the body back, but it was captured by the Vietnamese army. One of the generals of the Vietnamese army beheaded Chu Huan and carried it high, shouting and reporting to Huangfu Nianfeng.
The gong is gone.
When the Chu army heard that their general had been killed, they had no intention of resisting. They were killed or captured by the Vietnamese army, and less than ten thousand people fled to Chu. The Vietnamese army won a complete victory. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they finally annihilated the Chu army and regained the territory.
The land was occupied by the Chu army.
After hearing the bad news that Chu Huan was killed, the King of Chu beat his chest and cursed the King of Yue that he should be killed, and vowed to avenge Chu Huan. After Chu Qi got the news in Wucheng, he also wanted to return to the court to ask for orders and lead the army to avenge his brother. Prime Minister Dongfang Yin felt in his heart
Secretly proud, but also pretending to be sad, he urged the soldiers of the Chu State to attack with all their strength to avenge the Chu general. Before the king of Chu analyzed it: "The four countries sent troops to attack Vietnam, the Qi and Wu allied forces won a great victory, and the Dali Kingdom won a great victory.
After acquiring a large territory of the Yue State, the peace talks would definitely be a gain, but the Chu State did not gain an inch of the land and lost tens of thousands of horses in vain. Then the territory cut off by the Qi State was lost, and the land occupied by the Qi State would still have to be recovered.
Take it back from Vietnam."
Seeing that it was difficult to reach a unanimous opinion in the court, the King of Chu sent Chu Qi from Wucheng back to the court to take command, mobilized troops and horses from all over the country, and went out to conquer the country for the second time.
King Ping watched the fire from across the bank and saw that Chu and Yue were fighting in a battle that resulted in both losses. The Chu State mobilized a large army to invade Vietnam again. He knew it was time for him to take action. So King Ping invited envoys from Chu, Yue, and Dali to join the Qi-Wu coalition.
The camp of Chu State gathered together to discuss peace talks. Chu Qi gathered an army at the border of Chu State. It would take some time, so the King of Chu sent Prime Minister Dongfang Yin to participate; the State of Yue State sent Prime Minister Ling Shiquan to participate; the State of Dali State sent Prince Duan Kejian to participate; King Wuyou
They also went together; the prince of Wu was Yingjing, and the prince of Qi was Qi Yi, the king of Ping was Qi Yong.
When the five parties gathered together, King Ping proposed his own plan for peace talks: all the land occupied by the Qi-Wu coalition forces would go to the Wu State; all the land occupied by Dali would go to the Dali State; although the Chu State was defeated, the land where General Chu Huan went would be used as the boundary.
, was transferred to the Chu State; the Qi army withdrew from Xincheng, and the Yue State compensated the Qi army with three years of taxes. The Yue State had no objection to the land occupied by the Wu State and the Dali State; it was unwilling to cede it to Chu State alone.
admit.
King Ping coldly said to the Yue Prime Minister Ling Shiquan: "The Yue army had already sued for peace, but turned back and besieged the Chu army. As a result, our Qi and Wu coalition forces failed to rescue them in time, and General Chu Huan died. You should also know that when you go abroad,
Now that we have assembled a large army, we, Qi, Wu and Chu will join forces. Can you, the State of Yue, withstand our army?"
Ling Shiquan Nuonuo didn't dare to say anything, and Dongfang Yin saw King Ping speaking to him, so he stopped talking. The envoys of Wu and Dali had cut off a lot of land, so naturally only King Ping listened. Ling Shiquan had no choice but,
He had no choice but to agree to King Ping's conditions.
Dongfang Yin also replied to King Chu, explaining how King Ping protected the interests of Chu and tried to get Yue to cede territory to compensate Chu. King Chu saw that he could obtain Yue's territory without using troops, so he naturally gave up.
When Chu Qi heard the news, he was furious. However, it was hard to disobey the king's order. However, Chu Qi controlled a large army at the border and refused to disperse.
King Wuyou only listened during the peace talks and did not participate in the discussion. When the peace talks were completed, he accompanied King Wuyou to handle military affairs in the camp. In his free time, he took Yinger to play and fish in the mountains, forests, streams and rivers around the military camp.
