"Dong dong dong" the war drums rumbled, and the low whistle of the horns whimpered in the air. Teams of East Vietnamese soldiers held up ladders and came to the front of the team. Shield soldiers, archers, soldiers and spear soldiers lined up one after another.

, ready for battle.

Zu Yao rode his horse to the banner of the flag. Under the protection of more than a hundred people, he quietly stared at Da Mo City in the distance. On Da Mo City, a general wearing silver armor was also staring at him. Zu Yao could

It was concluded that that person was the guard of Damo City.

The war was about to break out. Next to Zu Yao, Shu Hongna looked at him with solicitous eyes. After a long time, Shu Hongna asked: "General, do you want to attack the city?"

Zu Yao was interrupted by Shu Hongna from thinking. He looked back at the 20,000 soldiers who were eager to fight. The desire for war was also burning in Zu Yao's heart. He slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist. It was a four-foot-long sword.

The iron sword was specially customized in Jiangdong. At this time, Zuyao wanted to use this iron sword from Jiangdong to kill Jiangdong's soldiers, to frighten Xiang Zhuang and let him know that Dongyue should not be underestimated.

"Brothers, pick up your weapons and kill me!" Zu Yao finally burst out with a roar from the bottom of his heart, swung his sword forward, and the soldiers beside him were like wild beasts, shouting and roaring as they rushed forward.

go.

Shu Hongna, who was on the side, was the first to ride out on his horse, brandishing his spear and roaring: "Charge me!"

The ant-like East Vietnamese Army rushed towards Damo County. On the other side, Ding Hong stood at the top of the city. He stared at the swarming East Vietnamese Army. This army, which was like ants moving, could move in an instant.

Swallowed Damo County, and Damo County

Three thousand defenders and two thousand corvees from Mo County have prepared for the battle at the top of the city. This is a battle that determines life and death. It is also the ultimate battle that determines whether the Eastern Chu Kingdom can hold the border. There is no room for retreat in this battle, otherwise,

Damo County must be lost.

Although the soldiers were all afraid, Ding Hong was the last defender. As long as he did not retreat, the soldiers would have hope and fighting spirit. He pulled out his long sword from his waist and looked at Dongyue who was getting closer and closer.

Army, Ding Hong roared: "Archers, prepare!"

Groups of archers rushed to the wall stacks, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed into the air. Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Ding Hong shouted: "Shoot! Kill them!"

After receiving Ding Hong's order, the archers released their right hands one after another, and the arrows whizzed out and shot into the distance. Due to the special structure of the compound bow, the arrows could be shot up to 150 steps away, and there was a city high up.

, the feather arrow fell from a distance of 230 steps, directly piercing the second wave of East Vietnamese troops.

Such a long range was completely beyond Ding Hong's expectations. He originally thought that this distance would just hit the enemy's front line, but it allowed the East Vietnamese army carrying the ladder to successfully cross the defense line, but the second echelon

The shield soldiers and spear soldiers screamed repeatedly when they were shot by sudden arrows. This also made Ding Hong understand why Xiang Zhuang chose 3,000 people to garrison here when he first deployed the defense at Da Mo. It turned out that the best defense facilities were

It's a bow and arrow.

At this time, Ding Hong regained his confidence. He looked at the city and ordered: "Keep shooting! Prevent their follow-up troops from reaching the city."

The archers were still shooting arrows in the distance, and on the city, the defenders began to urge the corvees to come to the wall stacks, preparing to use rolling wood and thunder stones to resist the East Vietnamese army that was about to board the city. However, at this moment, Ma Zhuo, an aide, walked over quickly.

Seeing the East Vietnamese army blocked 200 steps away from the city, Ma Zhuo said with great joy: "General, the enemy's follow-up troops have been pulled away. Why not select a refined force to surprise the enemy troops below the city. This battle can be won."

Ding Hong was reminded by Ma Zhuo. He immediately put his head out and looked down. Under the city, there were sparse shield soldiers and Ge soldiers preparing to build ladders. However, the follow-up troops were waving their shields to block and marching slowly.

, Ding Hong was overjoyed and ordered: "Don't stop the archers, I'm going to kill such a thief!"

During a cup of tea, the south gate of Damo County slowly opened. After a roar, Ding Hong took the lead. Leading 200 cavalry and 300 infantry, he rushed out of Damo City at lightning speed and headed towards Dongyue below the city.

The army killed him.

Screams continued one after another, and the unprepared East Vietnamese troops were killed in all directions. Later, when the East Vietnamese reinforcements were about to arrive in the distance, Ding Hong's army quickly retreated.

Not far away, Zou Yao, who had been watching the battle, was furious. He did not expect that Dong Chu's bows and arrows were so sharp that they blocked his troops a hundred steps away, and they could not get closer. The infantry under the city were also attacked by surprise. It was terrible that they would be at a disadvantage when launching their troops.

, Zu Yao angrily put away his sword and ordered to a personal attendant: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang" sounded a rapid golden sound, which was the signal for the East Vietnamese Army to withdraw its troops. Soon, the East Vietnamese Army, like a big wave, retreated quietly and silently.

…

Since Damo County was besieged by the East Vietnamese Army, surrounding villagers have fled to Wushang County. Wushang County has since closed its city gates and entered a state of emergency defense. It has also issued a letter of suspension to Zhuji County asking for help, and some people from within Wushang County have

The intelligence agency issued a flying letter and urgently reported to Hua Yu.

At this time, the Kingdom of Eastern Chu was in turmoil. Dongyue's march north broke the peace in Jiangdong. Wushang County, which had not had a war for a long time, temporarily recruited civilians, and a thousand defenders in the city formed a defense team to strictly control the city.

, but the specific information about Wushang County was still taken out of the county by spies and sent to Wu Zhu's army.

Distant water cannot quench the near thirst. Just when the people in Wushang County were uneasy and fled with their families, an East Vietnamese army of 5,000 people came to the city. They beat the rumble of war drums and the sound of horns wailed in the air.

By then, this army had surrounded Wushang County at its core.

The leading general is Teddy. He is riding on a horse, raising his right hand in front of his eyes, looking at the city in the distance. On the city, the Eastern Chu army is waiting in full formation, but it can be seen that this small county town has no defenders.

Enough. Many people looked at the city in horror. This was a city that could be stormed. Teddy observed it for a moment. He couldn't help but laughed happily and said: "Brothers, if we take this city, there will be women to enjoy tonight."

.”

After a burst of obscene laughter, Teddy waved his spear, pointed forward, and shouted: "Kill him!"

The East Vietnamese army rushed towards Wushang County like a flood after a dike broke.

At the top of the city, the county magistrate Liu Yu was crying. He had just learned the day before yesterday that the East Vietnamese Army was marching north. Today, the East Vietnamese Army had come to kill them. Now, the East Vietnamese Army was killing them all over the mountains and plains. The situation was very critical. He sighed helplessly, turned around and shouted

: "Defend the city with all your strength, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Eastern Chu Army rushed to the wall. Two hundred archers opened their bows and shot arrows towards the city. However, due to the limited number of archers and the weak defense of the bows and arrows, they were unable to cause serious damage to the East Vietnamese Army. The East Vietnamese Army broke through the encirclement.

, rushed towards Wushang County, and soon, the ladder was set up on the top of the city. After a muffled sound, the East Vietnamese army began to climb the city.

With the hard work of the corvees, the rolling wood and thunder stones that had been prepared were thrown downwards, but the supplies were not sufficient. After several rounds of strong attacks, the East Vietnamese army climbed up the ladder again, drew out their long swords, and charged towards the city.

A soldier had just climbed to the top of the city when he saw a long pole stabbing him hard. Before he had time to react, the long pole was stabbed through his face and he screamed and fell off the ladder.

However, the people behind were not afraid because someone died in the battle. They continued to climb up without stopping. One person dodged the fierce stab of the Chang Ge, then grabbed the handle of the pole with his right hand, pulled back hard, and moved eastward.

The Chu Army soldier was pulled out. The soldier slashed with his sword and threw the Eastern Chu Army soldier down. Then he climbed up again, jumped up, and climbed to the top of the city.

The same thing happened elsewhere. The East Vietnamese army rushed to the top of the city, swooped around the city wall, brandishing their swords and spears and fought hard with the East Chu army. Those unarmed corvees became ready to be slaughtered.

Lambs are left to be slaughtered.

Liu Yu, who was always commanding from the top of the city tower, saw that the city was lost. He looked up to the sky and shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu is incompetent and Wushang County is lost!"

After roaring angrily, Liu Yu swung his sword and charged towards the rebel army.

The flames of war are raging around the town of Wushang County, smoke is filling the air, and the sounds of crying and fighting are endless.

The sun was setting, and the day was about to pass, but the battle in Wushang County was still going on non-stop. At this time, the Eastern Chu army was unable to resist. From time to time, people were left behind, and screams continued. Another hour passed, and Wushang County

The door slowly opened, and an officer of the East Vietnamese Army waved his weapon in front of the city gate and shouted excitedly: "The city is broken!"

"The city is broken, follow me and kill them!" Teddy laughed and rode his horse towards Wushang County. Behind him, more than a thousand people followed. From a distance, he could see Dong Chu at the head of Wushang County.

The flag was thrown down and replaced with the national flag of East Vietnam.

When the East Vietnamese Army leapt into the city, Teddy had already forgotten Wu Zhu's instructions. They slaughtered the people at will, robbed women, and stole money. In the blink of an eye, thousands of people were killed or injured in the city.

To the north of Wushang County, surrounded by mountains, a winding road leads directly to Wushang County. A cavalry team of 3,000 people gallops on the road, led by a general, wearing a helmet and armor, and wearing dark green clothes.

He is the heroic general Jun Zixiu next to Xiang Zhuang. When he was ordered to inspect Qiantang County, Jun Zixiu received a temporary transfer order from Xiang Zhuang, ordering him to rush to the aid of Wushang County to prevent the East Vietnamese Army from moving further north.

As soon as Junzixiu received the order, he rushed southward along the Chi Road without stopping. After about two days of journey, Junzixiu finally passed through Zhuji County, walked through the mountains, and was about to arrive.

When they arrived at Wushang County, a group of scouts came in panic. As they approached, the leader of the scouts raised his hands and said, "General, Wushang County... has been lost!"

"What?" Jun Zixiu couldn't believe his ears. The East Vietnamese army was so fast that they actually captured Wushang County. He halted his horse, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What's going on in Damo County now?"

"

"It's not clear yet, but there are three thousand defenders in Damo County. It is estimated that it will not be lost in a short time." The scout captain said with cupped hands. Junzi Xiu thought for a moment and ordered: "You guys go quickly to find out whether Damo County is lost.

, I was going to transfer to Damo County and hold the last forward position for the king."

"General, if you abandon Wushang County, will the enemy's retreat be cut off?"

"Bullshit, if Damo County is lost, what's the point of our going south? Go and investigate quickly." Junzixiu scolded the scout captain, then turned around and ordered: "Speed ​​up, let's march towards Damo County!"
