Spring and Autumn

45.2 Battle of Yancheng

After Wu Feng returned to the city, he saw the joy in the city and called the merchant pot and said, "Lao Shang, you take 500 people to bear dogs

's corpse was brought back. The bear's paw was a good thing. It was rare to have more than 100 heads, just in handing a knife to make dishes.

Chu Yueer couldn't help smiling as soon as she saw him enter the city.

Wu Jubei went to count the casualties and capture, and Wu Feng let everyone rest. The bear's paw is eager to be familiar with. At noon, it will be a knife

The man burned the bear's paw for 20, and there were countless dog meat. Wu Feng gave the dog meat to the soldiers and asked him to take several bear paws

Give Wu Jubei and those Chu generals, and the rest enjoy tasting and drinking with the warriors.

When he was eating happily, the detective came to report: "Longbo, the Ba people gathered in a place and camped between the estuary and Lucheng

's village is more than 50 miles away from here.

Wu Feng asked about the topography of the village, and the detective said, "There is small water on the east side of the village, which is very shallow, and there is also a waterway 40 miles to the west side.

The water is very deep. There is a lush forest 30 miles to the southwest, and there is a mountain road to the north, and the path is not very reachable.

Wu Feng ordered him to draw the terrain on the ground, meditated for a long time, and said, "This king is a man who can use soldiers.

Standing with water, the choice of land is very good. Once something happens again, you can escape to another waterway in the west, rely on water, and fight again. The little life

The pawn retreated and was thinking about a strategy against the enemy. Wu Jubei came and said, "Long Bo, Princess Yue, the Ba people sent a messenger to ask for peace."

Wu Feng asked Wu Jubei to bring the messenger in, and the messenger said in Chu language: "When I heard that Longbo was in the army, I was very frightened.

The villain came to make peace with Longbo and Ye Gong.

Wu Feng said, "Ye Gong is seriously ill. If you need anything, just tell me."

The messenger was stunned and said, "I heard that the prince went out with Longbo here and wanted to ask Longbo to let the prince go.

We withdrew our army to the west.

Wu Jubei said, "If you let your prince go first, what if you don't retreat? Unless you retreat and return home first, we will

Let people go back."

Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry too much. The Ba people were defeated yesterday. We wanted to have no more fighting, so we let the king

Go back. It happens that I also want to go back. This Luancheng rat is very ill, and the food and grass will not continue, otherwise the army will not use dog meat

for food. Both armies can't fight again, and it's good to make peace at this time. He said to the messenger, "But Brother Wu's words are not unreasonable,

The envoy returned first. In the afternoon, he came with the handwriting and book of King Ba. With this and the book as the basis, King Ba could not go out of his way and lost

Believe in the world. Early tomorrow morning, I will let the prince go back.

The messenger was happy to see that Wu Feng was very talkative.

Chu Yueer said, "My husband, I think the Ba people can't believe it. What if they don't retreat from the army?"

Wu Jubei felt that Wu Feng was young and inexperienced after all. He frowned and said, "Long Bo inadvertently told us the truth

I'm afraid the enemy won't retreat."

Wu Feng smiled and said, "I'm going to tell them. I'll invite Prince Ba to drink tonight, and you are like this.

Show him a good show."

Everyone will laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

In the afternoon, King Ba really sent messengers to hold peace books and came to visit Ye Gong's office first, but on the day of Ye Gong's first arrival

I woke up and have been sleeping since then. Naturally, I can't talk to this messenger.

The messenger negotiated peace with Wu Feng again. Wu Feng was very patient and talked with him in detail all afternoon, and finally made peace.

Seeing that Wu Feng was so serious, he knew that this person was sincere about peace and rushed back to die.

At dinner, Wu Feng invited Prince Ba to the hall to drink, told him that the two armies had made peace, and let him go back tomorrow.

"Actually, this matter of the State of Chu has nothing to do with my subordinates, but my wife is the princess of the State of Chu, so she has to run to help with the fist, not

I want to be sorry to your country. As soon as your army retreats tomorrow, we will rush back to Chengzhou. Prince, don't blame me

sin."

Prince Ba was overjoyed and said, "I can pay attention to this."

After drinking several lords, suddenly several mice rushed through the hall. Wu Feng sighed: "The rats in the city are very serious, and they are the most susceptible to infect people

If you have a disease, this city is not a place to stay for a long time.

The merchant pot and Ding Dao took several pawns to the hall, each holding bamboo baskets in their hands, and there were many mice in the basket, squeaking.

Shanghu and others sued Wu Feng and took people to catch mice, making them sweaty. Finally, they caught several mice and put them in a bamboo basket

Go down to the hall and talk about how to make rats as a delicacies to relieve hunger.

At this time, Xiaohong took a big hold and came to the hall and said, "Long Bo, your big hold has been bitten by a rat."

Wu Feng scolded: "Why are you so careless? If you can bite your clothes today, you will eat people tomorrow! Careful those

Dry food should be used on the road tomorrow. Don't be eaten by rats. Xiao Hong went on trembling.

Prince Ba sighed, "This rat disease is really annoying." Suddenly, I saw several mouse excrement in the minced meat in front of me, my heart

It was disgusting, so I stopped drinking.

Wu Feng was stunned and said, "Why doesn't the prince drink? Is this dog meat unpalatable?

Prince Ba smelled that it was dog meat and remembered that he had eaten a lot before, and he felt even more nauseous.

Wu Feng sighed: "I have some bear meat, but I didn't give it to the soldiers. It's also the first time to eat these dog meat, no

It tastes good and can also be tasted.

Prince Ba sat for a while and dared not eat any more, so he had to leave.

Wu Feng asked Bao Xing to take him back to his room to rest. After Prince Ba went down, he passed through a barracks and listened to the noise in the room.

It seemed to be fighting for food, and many people outside the room bent down to cover their stomachs. Bao Xing came forward and whispered to them.

Knowing that it was a bad stomach, Prince Ba listened to it and said to himself: "Dog meat is newly slaughtered, and it is suitable for minced meat

There is rat excrement. After putting grain food in the army for a long time, naturally there is more rat excrement. How can you not eat bad stomach? Prince Ba went back to his house to rest

At night, I heard the sound of rats, and the guards outside the door went to the toilet and moaned endlessly.

The next morning, Prince Ba carefully ate two or three mouthfuls of sorghum soup and dared not use it again. He said that he was full and was brought by Bao Xing

After going to the hall, Wu Feng said a few words to him and asked Bao Xing to send him out of the city. Prince Ba caught a glimpse of the people in the city in a hurry, many

People are dressing up, and they are secretly happy.

After Prince Ba left, Wu Feng called the generals and said, "Prince Ba will definitely tell the rat in Ba Wangcheng

It is rampant, there is a shortage of food and grass, the epidemic is very severe, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. King Ba will definitely attack the city at night to avenge the night before. Only

If you want him to leave the camp with soldiers, we will use troops.

He issued the order, first called Xiaohong and said, "Xiaohong, you take 100 people to the head of the North Gate City, set up 50 drums, and then go to the city

There was a lot of firewood outside, and when the enemy came to attack, they beat the drums and set fire. Those who are close hear the drum, and those who are far away watch the fire and think it's an order.

Called the four yan women, Gongyang and Yu Dingdao, and said, "Yuer, you four take 3,000 soldiers on the east side of the city

Ten miles away in ambush; Xiaodao and Xiaoyang also took 3,000 soldiers to the west side ten miles away. Hearing the sound of drums in the city, from both sides

Kill it."

He also called Shanghu and said, "Lao Shang, you led 3,000 people to the enemy's camp with me and Yueer. After capturing the camp, you

Stay in the camp and intercept when the enemy escapes. The enemy will definitely be surprised.

Call Bao Xing again and said, "Xiao Xinger, take 3,000 people to ambush in the lush forest 30 miles southwest of the enemy camp,

If you see the enemy retreating, take the opportunity to kill it out in order to make full success.

He also said to Wu Jubei: "Brother Wu, you take 4,000 people to guard the city. When the enemy comes to attack, wait for the two sides to ambush and kill.

Then 1,000 people were left to defend the city and lead 3,000 people to chase and kill. The three armies will meet, and the enemy will collapse.

He looked at the crowd and said, "The remaining 3,000 people and the warriors in my house will first take over the enemy's fortress with me and Yueer.

Then follow me to the waterway ferry 40 miles west of the enemy's village, block the Ba people, and force them to flee to Maolin.

Finally, he said, "All the troops went to rest. After dinner, they were guided by soldiers who knew the terrain and acted separately in the sky

I rushed to the ambush in the dark. In order to avoid casualties, when taking arrows first, don't shoot arrows when several armies join together, so as not to hurt yourself

My own person. The old businessman taught everyone to say a ba, shouting 'put down your weapons, don't kill the surrender'. At that time, you can shout like this, which can be reduced

Casualties!"

Everyone was impressed when they saw that he was thoughtful.

Wu sealing Ba people must have spies outside the city, deliberately leading the people in the house to prepare their bags out of the city, pretend to return, and go north outside the city

After more than ten miles, they changed their way to the east to make the Ba people think that they had returned to Cheng Zhou, and rushed back to the city from the east gate at noon.

The troops took a day off, and the teams set off after dinner. Wu Feng and Chu Yueer brought Tie Yong, Japanese warriors and 3,000

The soldiers came out from the north gate, and the merchant pot also accompanied 3,000 soldiers. They went from west to east and from northeast to west.

A circle, 20 miles away from the east side of the enemy's village, sent 20 soldiers to explore the movements of the enemy camp.

At about the third update, the pawn came to report: "Long Bo, the Ba army quietly went out of the camp to the south, and indeed went to Lucheng

Go."

Wu Feng smiled and said, "King Ba really doesn't keep his promises." After waiting for half an hour, it is estimated that the enemy has arrived under the city.

Set out with 6,000 soldiers and went straight to the enemy camp. The army in the camp came out, very empty, and 6,000 soldiers entered in one fell swoop, naturally

It was easy to seize the camp.

Shanghu and several Chu generals led 3,000 soldiers to re-establish their defenses, waiting for the enemy to escape back.

Wu Feng and Chu Yueer took the warriors and 3,000 soldiers all the way west to the waterway ferry 40 miles away. Wu

Seeing that the moonlight was dark, he was very happy. He ordered the soldiers to put out the torch and wait for the enemy to escape. He has already had a good understanding, enemy

The army is under the city and will inevitably be defeated and retreated to the camp, but the battalion has been captured. Shanghu and others will be intercepted for a while, and the enemy will follow the road

Arrive here, cross the water and camp, based on water. If you wait here, you will not have to wade over the water and stand up

The camp is going to be troublesome again.

Just after the fourth watch, he heard the sound of the horse's hoofs faintly coming from the merchant's side. Wu Fengfu listened to it for a while and felt that the enemy

There are many, but the steps are messy. Naturally, they were ambushed twice under the city and before the camp, and they were defeated and fled. He went to Maiti

The halberd and Chu Yueer waited side by side to find a high place. After a while, they saw many torches moving from the east and the sound of footsteps

is getting louder and louder.

When the enemy reached within a hundred steps, Wu Feng ordered to release arrows, and the arrows fell like rain. The enemy exclaimed chaos and fell one after another

After shooting for a while, Wu Feng saw that there were countless torches moving rapidly towards the enemy in the east, knowing that it was Siyannu, Gongyang,

The pursuers of Ding Dao, Shanghu and Wu Jubei shouted: "Hold the fire!"

Everyone stopped the arrows and lit the torch. Wu Feng and Chu Yueer rode a horse to rush over. Tie Yong and the Japanese warriors are the best at horse fighting.

More than 100 people were like one person, following Wu Feng and Chu Yueer to enter the enemy group. Three thousand soldiers shouted loudly in Ba: "Let go

If you lower the weapon, don't kill the surrenderer!" Around the north side of the enemy, there was a burst of rushing, and the four-way soldiers of Shanghu and others were also killed. Ba

There are human corpses all over the ground. Wu Feng and Chu Yueer saw Prince Naba holding a sharp hand in the distance under the firelight, fighting in panic, and several people around them

Ba will be very brave. Many Pakistanis abandoned their weapons and squatted aside with their heads in their arms.

Wu Feng saw that Prince Ba was only 40 steps away from him and fought and said, "Yuer, let's go and capture the prince again

Come on." Chu Yueer jumped from the horse and flew over to Prince Ba. Wu Feng grabbed Chu Yueer's horse with one hand

Qinglong's reins waved the halberd in one hand and rushed through the enemy group. The two of them immediately crossed the enemy group

Open a big mouth and arrive in front of Prince Ba in a moment. The two armies were stunned to see Chu Yueer's body like a fairy.

Wu Feng laughed and said, "Prince, we meet again!" With a halberd in his hand, Prince Ba was panicked and raised his hand

In the block, he heard a crisp sound. Prince Ba's hands were shocked, and he couldn't hold it. He flew away more than ten feet away. At this time

Chu Yueer fell gracely, turned the iron spear, and the tail of the spear was on Prince Ba's shoulder. Prince Ba immediately fell off his horseback and was

Bending down and lifting it up. Chu Yueer fell down, sat on the back of a green dragon horse, and stabbed several Ba generals.

At this time, a soldier came over and tied Ba general upside down. Wu Feng caught a glimpse of a bearded general who was very brave and threw Prince Ba

Bring up the soldiers and patting the horse to hit Naba. Naba stabbed Wu Feng with a spear. Wu Feng turned sideways and made way

The spear, sandwiched under the armpit, Naba will struggle to grab it, but it is like an elephant with ant regret, not moving at all. Wu Feng's iron halberd waved,

He shot down General Ba with a "bang", and some soldiers captured him.

At this moment, the remaining Barns saw that the east, west and north were sealed, so they had to flee southeast along the water and lost their helmets along the way

Abandoned armor is not mentioned.

Wu Feng left thousands of people to be bound and surrendered, chased and killed all the way with a large army, chasing them for about ten miles, and suddenly saw a lush forest in front of him.

The arrows in the forest were like rain, shooting down a large area of Ba people.

When Wu Feng and others approached, the arrow stopped, and a team of soldiers came from the forest, and the first one person held a big iron axe, haha

smiled and said, "Xiao Xing'er is here!" Three thousand soldiers came out of the forest. At this time, they surrounded the enemy in all directions.

The soldiers shouted in Pakistani: "Put down your weapons and don't kill those who surrender!" Seeing that the general trend has taken place, most of these Ba people obediently abandoned their troops

If you surrender, the recalcitrant will naturally not be able to please, or die or be injured.

When it was dawn, the war had been extinguished, and the soldiers packed up their weapons, horses, cars and tents, and escorted their soldiers from everywhere.

Wu Feng looked around and saw countless corpses along the way, and a large number of surrenderers were tied one after another. I don't know if there was

How many people.

After the army returned to the city, Wu Jubei took the soldiers and reported to Wu Feng: "Our army has injured more than 2,000 people,

600 people were killed, more than 4,000 people were killed, more than 8,000 soldiers were captured, and countless weapons, food and grass were seized. Scattered and escaped

There are two or three thousand enemy troops, and they can no longer fight.

Wu Feng saw that there were many enemies killed, sighed secretly and frowned: "There are too many Palestinian dead. You send soldiers to clean up the enemy's corpses, then

Digged a big pit in that Maolin and set up a large tomb for knowledge. In the future, you can police Ba people to come to the west.

Wu Jubei said again: "This battle not only captured Prince Ba, but also King Ba was captured by Long Bo, which can be said to be a complete victory."

Wu Feng said in astonishment, "Who is Ba Wang?" He shot down and stabbed many Ba generals, and he didn't know who the Ba king was.

Wu Jubei asked the soldiers to escort one person and said, "This is King Ba." When Wu Feng looked at it, he saw the beard with the spear

General Ba was coughing and speechless, with blood on the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had suffered an internal injury.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "So this is King Ba. It's really disrespectful." He shot him off the horse with a halberd, himself

The halberd is very powerful. If you want to come, King Ba's injury is not serious. He ordered people to take good care of King Ba and his son, and the military medical doctors will heal them.

The trivial matters in the army were handed over to Wu Jubei and others. Naturally, Wu Feng was very leisurely. He went to Ye Gong's bed to visit him. See this old man

The man is still asleep, sighing secretly, ordering people to pack up and prepare to go back to Cheng Zhou.

Lunch was eaten with bear's paws. Wu Feng was drinking happily. Chu Yueer and Shanghu went out and came back after a long time. Wu

Feng Qi said, "Yueer, what are you busy with the old businessman?"

Chu Yueer said, "husband, Yueer has a smell of poison. Although it is not poisonous, it may have some effect on poisonous rats."

Bao Xing's eyes widened and said, "Is it possible that the little lady wants the old merchant to catch the mouse and feed the poison

Go?"

Xiaohong scolded: "Really stupid! If you can catch one and kill it directly, what else do you need to feed?

Poison?"

Chu Yueer smiled and said, "This poison has no peculiar smell. I asked the old merchant to give it to Wu Jubei, as long as it is mixed with honey

Ten catties of sorghum are scattered all over the city, and mice may eat them, which can be poisoned.

Wu Feng praised: "This method is very good. If it works, we can secretly make rat medicine and sell it to other countries when we return to Laiyi.

Most of them are very profitable.

Dongxue couldn't help laughing and said, "Does Uncle Long still think he is not rich? This trip goes around Jiangdu, Chengzhou and Yongdu,

I'm afraid the gift received by the little lady alone is enough to offset the benefit of the fishing salt of the canal for a year.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "That's right. In the future, if I become poor, I will have to walk around for a month and receive some gifts

Life. Well, if Duke Qu knew about this, would he lament that he was out of place?"

Everyone laughed for a while. Wu Feng suddenly remembered something and said to Chu Yueer, " Yueer, your hometown is in Dongting

side, can I go back and have a look at it?

Chu Yueer smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After the clan sent me and my sister out, my sister often said that they didn't have

It is very family-friendly and entertains people with women. My sister has a grudge every time she mentions it, but when she sees Zhuang Dazhuang II and her stability and loyalty, she gradually

Gradually changed his attitude.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Women can indeed entertain people. Since I have you by my side, I always feel extremely happy. If it weren't for you

How can I see you when the people send you out? You are the head of the family, and now you are the princess of the State of Chu. Go back

It's good to walk."

Xia Yang smiled and said, "Is Uncle Long looking for one or two beautiful women like the little lady?"

Wu Feng laughed and said, "How can I have such a thought? It's nothing more than afraid of Yueer's homesickness. Although Yueer doesn't care, I

This son-in-law can't lose his etiquette. Now that I have time, I'm just going to have a look. Unfortunately, Zhuang Da and others didn't come with us,

Otherwise, it's time to take them home."

In the afternoon, Wu Feng called Wu Jubei and the generals of Chu and said, "The Ba people have been broken. They will leave tomorrow, but they will return

Before the end of the week, let's go to Dongting, Yue'er's hometown, and we will never go there. You can rest assured.

You can deal with the military affairs by yourself.

He gave the arrow to Wu Jubei and said, "Mr. Fan pleaded guilty to the king of your country and said that he was busy and wanted to hurry back

Go, I don't have time to see you." He also said, "The father and son of King Ba should not deal with it by themselves. They should report to the king."

When Wu Jubei and others saw his great success, they were neither greedy nor captured. They were moved and all knelt down.

I admire you.

The next morning, dozens of Wu Feng's soldiers and vehicles left the city and went south along the avenue. Everyone came in a hurry.

I haven't looked at the scenery carefully, but now I have finished my work. I feel relaxed and walk slowly, pointing to the surrounding landscape, during which

Le. Wu Feng was not familiar with Chu. The last time he chased and killed the Nanyi bureaucrats of the city. He was in a bad mood and didn't have time to watch the scenery. This time, he went south.

Naturally, I asked Chu Yueer this and that. However, Chu Yueer was young when she left the country and didn't know much about the State of Chu, so she would

Gongyang and Dingdao called up to inquire, but did not mention it.
