Chapter 611: The Battle of the Yangtze River in Qichu, Swallowing Wu War
What about Zhong Jian himself?
Zhong Jian is also recorded in later historical documents, which appeared in the Wu-Chu War, when King Chu Zhao fled across the river, he once carried the fourth sister of King Chu Zhao Ji Mi across the river, and later Ji Mi said that his daughter Qingyu was so reluctant that he could not marry, and King Chu Zhao was helpless, so he could only let the fourth sister finally marry Zhong Jian.
Due to the appearance of Lu Di in this time and space, the storyline deviated, but the result did not change much, and Ji Mi still married Zhong Jian.
Zhong Jian also has a historical bull son, this person will appear in the later text, I won't say it here.
Speaking of water divisions, the first batch of water divisions in Chu was created by King Chu Ping Ling Nangwa after the first battle of Chu in Qi State, but later King Chu Zhao executed the traitor Nangwa in order to win over the seventh son surnamed Mi, and the water division was ruined.
However, the rundown is not dilapidated, because the sailor at this time is not so much a sailor as a water warrior concentration camp, as long as he is good at swimming, as long as he dares to fight and kill, he is a strong division.
And Chu is a swampy country in rivers and lakes, although those who are good swimmers are not as good as Wu countries, they are second in the world, and they are definitely not bastards.
After the war, the Chu State Naval Division was divided into two parts, one was personally controlled by the King of Chu Zhao, Youxiong Zhen, and the other was to assemble the warships and troops obtained from Wu Yue, plus the five thousand elites transferred from the headquarters of the Chu State Naval Division, which together formed the current Chu State Naval Division.
Because this water division is newly built, and most of them are miscellaneous soldiers, it is not valued by the descendants of the Xiong clan in the court of Chu State, so the appointed general is selected from a group of relatives, Zhong Jian is the sister-in-law of King Chu Zhao and is both civil and military, so it is naturally the best choice.
Zhong Jian also did not lose the hope of King Chu Zhao, and fought with Wu Guoshui several times and made great achievements.
This time the naval division fought on land at the request of Wu Jubei.
Looking at Wu Jubei's anxious appearance, Zhong Jian shook his head slightly, this lord seemed to be frightened by the people of Qi State.
The Qi army continued to pursue and kill Zhong Jian and Wu Jubei's army in the rear, and soon the Chu army broke and fled to the Sailor Ferry, Yangzijin.
Looking at the warship that covered the sky and the sun, Zhong Jian smiled at Wu Jubei and said, "General Jubei, are you relieved now?" β
Wu Jubei nodded, and then ordered the sergeant to start boarding the boat and prepare to cross to the south, while he himself led a force to form a human flesh wall to block the Qi army that was chasing and killing.
The four fierce generals of Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, Guofan, and Lu Di each led a thousand cavalry to open the road first, followed by the mighty army of military vehicles, and finally the black and overwhelming infantry army.
Seeing that the cavalry had little effect on Wu Jubei's Chu army's flesh wall, Lu Di, who rushed over, changed his attack method and let the archers start to throw at a long distance under the protection of the wooden shield soldiers.
Like a locust's arrow falling from the sky, it made a scalp-numbing roar, and the Chu army suddenly screamed.
As long as a hole is made, the cavalry can tear the hole wide.
The sound of war drums resounded all over the world on the north bank of the ancient Yangtze River.
Nearly 160,000 men were engaged in the battle here, so you can imagine how fierce the war will be.
Seeing that the archers were already tired, LΓΌ Di ordered Zhong You to concentrate on the position of the Chinese army with the Huwei battalion, while Hua Bao's Hosoliu battalion attacked the opponent's left flank.
The sound of the battle was monstrous, Wu Jubei's robe in the Chu army was stained with blood, and there were two arrows stuck in his shoulders, and the blood flowed out, but he didn't feel any pain, and commanded the army to fight as always.
Zhong Jian and most of his sailors have already boarded the warship, he stood on the handsome boat, seeing the tragic battle on the riverbank, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, what is the fight with Wu Guo, this is the real great power war.
The sound of the collection of troops sounded from the Dazhai of the Chu army's water division, and Wu Jubei shouted loudly when he heard this, and began to organize the army to gather the front and gradually retreat.
The fighting on the bank of the river continued, and when the remnants of Wu Jubei's army were all on the warship, at this time, on the bank of the river for about five miles, the corpses piled up were like a carpet of human flesh.
When the Qi army saw the Chu army on the boat sailing in the direction of Jiangxin, they were angry and scolding cowards, and they had a kind of fighting again.
Wu Jubei and Zhong Jian, who were on the boat of the Chu Army's sailors, glanced at each other and laughed at the Qi army on the river bank who was still shooting arrows at the boat from time to time.
The same was true of the Chu army on other ships.
What's more, they pouted their butts and let the Qi army shoot arrows, but the arrows flew one meter away from the side of their ship and fell into the water.
This scene made Chu Jun laugh even more.
The Qi army on the riverbank was all furious when they saw this, and Zhong You drew his bow on the spot and shot an arrow to kill a Chu army who had leaked his ass.
Those who have enough strength shoot arrows to fight back, and those who have no strength scold loudly, and Chu Jun laughed even more heartily when he saw it.
Just when the Qi army was extremely angry, Lu Di, who was standing on the carriage of the horses, flashed a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
He ordered the sergeants to stop scolding and all counterattacks, to gather strength, and to have the spearmen and giant shieldmen form a huge formation of the Great Wall about ten miles long on the riverbank.
Watching the Dong Dong Qi army change formation, Wu Jubei and Zhong Jian were puzzled, could this Qi people be confused?
You are on the bank of the river, I am in the center of the river, are you in array?
Their doubts were quickly answered.
I only heard a soldier on the ship shouting: "Oh no, the ship is leaking."
Thousands of Chu ships shouted one after another after the first soldier shouted that the boat was leaking.
Seeing this, Wu Jubei spit out a mouthful of blood into the river, and Zhong Jian beside him was shocked when he saw this: "General Jubei! β
The speed at which the ship was sinking faster and faster, Zhong Jian's eyes were red, and now he finally understood why the Qi army was lining up on the riverbank, it must be that the other party had already done something to his sailor ship, so he was so fearless.
It's just how do they do it?
Zhong Jian didn't have time to think about these at this time, because there was a bigger crisis, and he saw that in the east-west direction of the sailor, there was a fleet of sailing ships that could intercept the flow of the great river, and these sailing ships were flying the flag of the Qi army.
"Haha, Han thieves, how do you run away this time?" Tian Kaijiang raised his knife and laughed, especially when he shouted the four words of the thief of the Han Kingdom, the deliberate yin and yang weirdness, everyone naturally understood the ridicule here, so they followed and coaxed.
"Han thieves, this time you have become a water dog, right? Haha......"
"Han thieves, wash your butts, and we will ask for it later...... Haha"
The Qi troops who were waiting in formation on the shore laughed and shouted happily, originally they were still angry about the escape of the Chu army, but now they were all happy when they saw that the Chu army was about to drown in the river, especially the sergeants of the wolf warrior camp.
Those sailors who blocked the east and west of the river were naturally the sailors of the Qi State led by Fan Li.
Fan Li received Lu Di's secret order that day, and then moved to the Chu army on the bank of the river as planned, Fan Li's plan was to take advantage of the southeast wind to directly attack the Chu army's water division, but the young general Shi Qi said: "I am willing to take the water ghost to sneak into the river and take the night to chisel the ship of the Chu army."
Fan Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had the current situation.
Zhong Jian saw that the fleet was blocked in the center of the river, and knew that the general trend had gone, so he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, but was stopped by the left and right Chu generals.
Then, after some sworn advice, Zhong Jian was persuaded, and then changed into ordinary soldier clothes, took the unconscious Wu Jubei, overturned the boat, hid under the boat, and went east along the river.
And the Chu generals on those handsome boats had been witnessing that the overturned boat had safely passed through the fleet of the sailors of the Qi State, so they glanced at each other, took off the clothes on their bodies, leaked out the fine flesh, and jumped into the river with their long swords in their hands.
At this time, the river was stained red with blood, and it looked even more terrifying against the backdrop of the setting sun.
In this battle, a total of 20,000 enemy troops were destroyed, 30,000 prisoners were captured, and the enemy's naval divisions were completely annihilated, which can be described as an unprecedented victory.
Qi Junjun's heart was greatly lifted, raising his arms and shouting long live, Lu Di looked at the joyful Qi army soldiers, although his face bloomed with this smile, but his heart was very gloomy.
gloomy, one, the fighting power of the state of Chu is still so strong; Gloomy, two, the rainy season is coming, can the Qi army withstand the wet and greasy climate south of the ancient Yangtze River?
