Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Xiang Yan was tricked by Wang Jian.

Xiang Yan always thought that Wang Jian's troops were hiding in Bazhong. However, after Wang Jian confirmed that the Yu army's strategic plan was not to march to Bazhong and then seize Hanzhong, and then trap Changping Lord in Shu, he led his elite troops to pretend to be lucky. Liang's auxiliary troops left Bazhong, transferred to Hanzhong, and took the Jinniu Road to Changpingjun for support.

The Yu army's route to attack Bashu was an either-or option. Since the Yu army did not dare to risk a large-scale siege, it could only attack Duguangzhiye step by step.

Therefore, Wang Jian decided to use a special force to support Lord Changping. He felt that at the critical moment, his special force was likely to become the key force to reverse the situation of the war.

However, what Wang Jian did not expect was that before the messenger he sent to inform Lord Changping that he had sent troops could see Lord Changping, Lord Changping had already been defeated.

This will make Wang Jian unable to deal with it.

Even if the Yu army did not fight a single battle, how long would it take to walk from Bacheng to Chengdu?

You were defeated when Yu Jun was just on his way?

Even three hundred thousand pigs can't be defeated so quickly, right?

But what can Wang Jian do?

I can only clean up the mess for Mr. Chang Ping.

At this time, Wang Jian only wished that he had not brought all the elites here.

Wang Jian was not only moving rocks and building castles in Bazhong, he was also seizing time to train the army.

With his extraordinary ability, Wang Jian trained more than 10,000 Qin Rui soldiers in just one year, supplementing the number of Qin Rui soldiers under him to 20,000.

You know, Changping Jun carefully selected and trained 180,000 elite soldiers from the army, and then selected 10,000 Qin warriors. He trained more than 10,000 Qin warriors, and they were even stronger than Chang Pingjun's warriors.

This is the gap in ability, and it cannot be made up for later.

Wang Jian is the next Bai Qi of Qin, but his political acumen is stronger than Bai Qi.

If Wang Jian was the coach of the Duguangzhiye battle, he would be able to train at least 50,000 more Qin Rui soldiers before the decisive battle, and he could also add 50,000 to 60,000 elite legion soldiers. He would not act like a fool and take advantage of Lord Changping. tactics.

What age are we in, and we still have a decisive battle?

Do you think you are Song Xianggong?

War goes to all lengths!

In Wang Jian's view, Lord Changping's decision was already a battle of spirits.

If Wang Jian used troops, he would also choose to lengthen the supply line of the Yu army, and then guard the Duguang wilderness and confront the Yu army.

The enemy wants to attack and fight decisively; then I will engage in defense and avoid fighting.

In short, just don't let the enemy get what they want.

After hanging the main force of Yu's army here for a year and a half, the main force of Qin's army can just attack the capital of Ying; or it can directly break the Chu Fang City of South Korea, conquer South Korea first, and then directly threaten Yu's Jiangbei from the road. Come on, let’s see who is in a hurry then!

If the main force of the Yu army does not return reinforcements, they will be in danger of being blocked in Bashu or losing Jiangbei!

War is never about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but depends on the overall situation.

To be honest, Wang Jian actually admired Dayu's army's tactics. Every time he used his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, he quickly learned the enemy's strengths and continued to improve in learning and fighting.

However, the progress of the Yu army was not seen by the senior officials of the Qin army. They always stubbornly believed that the Yu army would not fight without the navy.

But for God's sake, if the Yu army really wouldn't fight without the navy, how did they get so much land?

Was it through sleeping with the emperor who was said to be dissolute and immoral and only knew how to find women?

Lord Changping obviously didn't see anything that Duke Gungun of the Qin Dynasty didn't see.

Wang Jian didn't want to remind him.

First, the loyal words are offensive to the ears;

Secondly, others speak lightly;

Thirdly, he is very clear about his position. He belongs to the King of Qin and does not belong to the Chu or Lu clan, so he cannot show kindness to Lord Changping in addition to his duties;

Fourthly, if Mr. Changping doesn't fail, how can he make progress? Why did he bring 15,000 hard-trained warriors to help, while only leaving 5,000 warriors in Bazhong to look after his home?

He also wants to make progress!

Wang Jian had already judged that Lord Changping would definitely suffer a loss, and as he was the commander-in-chief of the partial division and a confidant of the King of Qin, and he came with reinforcements, Lord Changping would naturally only increase his troops, but not take away his soldiers. , then it will be his chance to perform.

For Wang Jian, the best situation is that when Lord Changping is about to fail, he comes out to turn the tide. When the time comes, Lord Changping leaves, and he becomes the commander of Qin's Bashu side.

But the turning the tide he wanted was not this kind of turning the tide.

He didn't expect that Lord Changping actually turned out to be a silver pewter spearhead.

What is the difference between this and the husband who is already soft before the wife even feels it?

Even if you, Mr. Changping, do nothing but stick to Chengdu like a tortoise, it is still better than this.

To be honest, he can no longer reverse the current situation.

All he can do is to hold the bridgehead for Da Qin to march into Shuzhong. Otherwise, with Da Yu's rising posture and civil and military strategies, Da Qin may really lose Shuzhong forever.

The first step of the plan was naturally to curb Yu Jun's arrogance.

Wang Jian's original plan was to first annihilate a Yu army that entered the city, and then use this opportunity to attract the attention of the Yu army, giving his men a chance to catch Mianzhu Pass by surprise, then close the door and beat the dogs, and annihilate all the Yu army.

Through this victory, the morale of the defeated army was slightly saved, and then the Yu army was blocked by Mianzhu Pass, buying time for Bai Jie and Qiang Xin's troops to retreat.

Wang Jian did some calculations and found that the only available troops of the Qin army in Shu now, besides his 15,000 warriors, were only the 30,000 soldiers of Bai Jie and Qiangxu, as well as the 30,000 soldiers of Zhang Ren who were stationed on the line of Fushui. There are more than 10,000 troops.

The rest, around Lord Changping, were more than a thousand cavalrymen who fled all the way from Duguangzhiye to this place, but most of them were just frightened birds of the eighth level without military formations, and could only serve as messengers to deliver news.

In the Shu region north of Mianzhu and south of Jiange, after many conquests, the source of troops has been exhausted. Even in an important town like Zitong, there are only three thousand county soldiers left, and in small counties, there are only three to five hundred people.

Under such circumstances, if the army were to be requisitioned again, even the security of the city would not be maintained.

The surrounding Shu people are really going to rebel again.

Don't forget, less than a year ago, the Shu people in Zitong and other places rebelled because of the oppression of Lord Changping! That time, Lord Changping killed many people in Shu.

Although the rebellion was finally suppressed by Lord Changping, the hatred between the Qin people and the Shu people became even deeper. Many Shu people hiding in the mountains dreamed of revenge!

But if there are no soldiers, even with Wang Jian's ability, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

In this case, any soldier is extremely valuable to Wang Jian.

Closer to home, although Xu Chu's performance exceeded Wang Jian's expectations, Wang Jian's extraordinary troops finally took action.

When Wang Jian was in Bazhong, he had been training soldiers' climbing and mountain marching abilities, and now he has achieved some success.

After deciding on the plan, Wang Jian sent the newly promoted general Zhu Youwen to lead 5,000 warriors. Most of them ambush on Lutou Mountain where Mianzhu Pass is located, and a small number of them ambush inside Mianzhu Pass, preparing to act as a surprise force to cut off the Yu army's retreat and annihilate it in one fell swoop. This Yu army.

As expected, Yu Jun, who was focused on pursuing, did not search the surroundings carefully, leaving only some soldiers to defend.

So Zhu Youwen's troops were able to cooperate internally and externally to launch a surprise attack on the Yu army that temporarily occupied Mianzhu Pass.

Niu Jin, who was stationed at Mianzhu Pass, quickly lit a beacon as a warning and organized soldiers to guard the gate. However, Qin Ruishi broke into the pass from the north gate and killed him at the south gate.

However, Qin Ruishi who entered the pass also discovered a problem, that is, the Yu army was too tough and his fighting will was too tenacious.

Qin Rui, who was clearly the most elite, had a superior attack, but it did not achieve a devastating effect.

Even the auxiliary soldiers have been relying on the terrain and fighting hard.

And when the Yu army that was attacked reluctantly used the terrain in the pass to form a military formation, the Qin Rui soldiers discovered that the defense power of these Yu troops was really high. The military formation was obviously not too strong, and the attack was average. But the defense is much higher than them.

This is undoubtedly the contribution of Xu Chu Domain and Niu Jin Domain.

Xu Chu's military formation field can triple the defense of military formation soldiers, and also has a very high defense bonus against space soldiers; Niu Jin's field has the effect of boosting morale to a certain extent and making them unyielding in a fight to the death. After the effects are superimposed, , Niu Jin's troops were able to stabilize their morale, defend a city wall and gate, and finally prevented Xu Chu's troops from getting dumped.

However, Xu Chujun did not have a hard time, because the Qin army ambushing in the mountain forest between Mianzhu Pass and Mianzhu City also came out and launched a surprise attack on the Yu army.

The Yu Army's pursuit troops were surrounded in the narrow area between Mianzhu Pass and Mianzhu City.

Moreover, although the Yu army was well-equipped with armor, they were not able to form an offensive or defensive formation in time. For a time, the cavalry in the outer space suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Xu Chu protected the Yu army who entered the city in time and killed them.

Seeing Xu Chu and others returning safely, the morale of the Yu army was high. With the blessing of his domain skills, Yu Jun's defense soared, and the legionnaires under his command were as hard as turtle shells.

"Don't panic, put up your shield and defend yourself, for His Majesty's sake!"

Xu Chu roared and stabilized Yu Jun's position.

"For Your Majesty!"

Yu Jun shouted in unison.

"I'm coming to the rear, Hua Xiong and Xu Ding. You bring two thousand Tiger Guards into the pass. As long as Mianzhu Pass is not taken away by the enemy, we will win!"

Xu Chu sneered and looked at the banner with the word "king" raised on the top of the city, and issued orders to Hua Xiong and his brother Xu Ding.

He knew that this must be Wang Jian.

He didn't care how Wang Jian came, but he was not afraid at all.

This time, he will kill to death.

The three thousand Tiger Guards around him were also very motivated.

Although Yu's army was in chaos, it was Hua Xiong's remnant army and the space cavalry who were in chaos. His three thousand Tiger Guards were not in any chaos.

The Tiger Guard is also a member of the Huben Army system, but the Tiger Guard is mostly composed of Xu Chu's training unit, the Tiger Guard, Xu Chu's brothers, sons and other blood relatives, as well as natural units such as Xujiazhuang troops, with a total strength of 15,000 people. This time he only brought 5,000 people out to have fun, but he didn't expect to be ambushed.

But Xu Chu was not worried at all.

Although Xu Chu was naive, he was not stupid. He was sure that the Qin army did not have more troops, and he was also sure that whether Dong Huang or other generals knew that he was ambushed, they would do their best to rescue him.

He just had to hold on.

Under Xu Chu's personal presence, other troops of the Yu army began to cross the river in an orderly manner, and then some lined up by the river to provide crossbow support, while others quickly entered the city from the south gate to help defend the south gate of Mianzhu and the southern city wall.

Wang Jian didn't know what kind of big fish he had caught in his net, but seeing that Xu Chu's troops were advancing and retreating well, and their momentum was like a rainbow, he decided to attack with all his troops.

This was a battle for him to boost the morale of his troops, and the outcome was crucial.

Wang Jian personally led his troops out of the city, striving to win this battle of annihilation as soon as possible.

However, once they met, Wang Jian realized that he was greedy.

Xu Chu's army is quite satisfactory in other aspects. Only in terms of defense, it is higher than the sharp soldiers. It is a real turtle shell.

Xu Chu's troops retreated while fighting. They quickly retreated to the city and fought against the city.

Although Wang Jian's troops took advantage of the terrain and ambush to annihilate thousands of Yu army's cavalry and more than a thousand Tiger and Guard troops, the price and risk they had to pay if they wanted to finish off the Yu army were not something he could bear. willing to accept.

He could not waste five thousand or even seven thousand warriors to wipe out Xu Chu's troops.

This battle felt like a bloody battle at Mopan Mountain.

After Wang Jian tried twice more, he decisively ordered the withdrawal.

As long as he still has 20,000 ordinary elites in his hands, he would dare to continue the fight, but with more than 10,000 people in his hands, even if they are all Qin Ruisi, he would not dare to continue the fight.

He can't afford it.

Wang Jian analyzed that the most fundamental reason why this battle was not completed was his mentality. He was anxious!

He was eager to win, so he made such an unsafe arrangement.

The safest deployment should be to defend directly at Mianzhu Pass! Rather than risk letting the enemy in just to win.

【Mistake! As a general, when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will not change! 】

After Wang Jian reflected on himself, he directly led his army to retreat to Fucheng.

Zhu Youwen's troops walked over the mountains, bypassed Xu Chu's troops on the mountain road, and then met up with Bai Jie and Qiang Xie's troops who had been separated and were about to be put into the Yu army's pockets, and together they took the Fulishui River and evacuated to Fujian.

Xu Chu discovered Wang Jian's troops' intentions and couldn't help but lead his army to pursue him. However, Wang Jian did not forget to arrange another ambush during the retreat.

However, this time, Wang Jian underestimated Xu Chu's troops. To be precise, he had insufficient information and did not expect Xu Chu to be so able to hold back.

During this battle, the momentum of Xu Chu's troops changed. The white tiger pattern on his chest roared loudly as if it had come to life. The sun bird totem behind his back made a clear cry. Everyone in the Tiger Guards roared wildly, and there was a faint sound on their chests. The tiger's head emerges.

Xu Chujun's originally extremely tyrannical defensive power was transformed into offensive power at this moment, and all the men and horses were shattered by the sword.

Wang Jian, who firmly believed that he should serve as a general and take command instead of charging into the battle like a barbarian, finally couldn't sit still this time and drew his sword to kill himself.

As Wang Jian entered the battle, there was a faint sound of dragon roars among the Qin army. The morale of the Qin Rui soldiers who were personally trained by Wang Jian was greatly boosted at this moment, and the body-protecting Qi generated by the military formation was directly raised to a higher level; at the same time, there was no longer any fear in their hearts, only "Old Qin, let's go together." The generosity, tragedy and heroic sentiments of "National Disaster" can only be admired and convinced by Wang Jian.

"The enemy general dares to fight me to the death!"

Xu Chu grinned when he saw Wang Jian going off in person.

Why did he take the risk to chase Wang Jian? Wasn't it just for this incident?

If Wang Jian could be killed or captured alive...

Xu Chu was so excited that he was trembling!

As we all know, no one in history has defeated Wang Jian, and Dong Huang's other generals were defeated by Wang Jian, but none of them defeated Wang Jian. If he could defeat Wang Jian, then wouldn't he be the number one general in Dayu?

hey-hey!

Don't discuss anything else, just ask Wang Jian if he has been chased by someone like me!

"snort!"

Wang Jian looked down upon such a reckless man who was obsessed with fighting one another, but this did not mean that his fighting ability was not good.

Wang Jian is famous for being "intelligent but not violent, courageous and resourceful". He is a general with both wisdom and courage. His force value is extremely high, especially with the bonus of the military formation.

When Xu Chu was provoking, Wang Jian had already mobilized the power of the military formation, and then swung his sword!

The sword rises and the floating clouds open.

A sword energy with a looming dragon shadow rushed straight towards Xu Chu. And at this moment, the Qin army, who was fighting with the Yu army, waved the weapon in their hands at the Yu army in front of them in tacit agreement, as if with divine help.

【Don’t talk about martial ethics! 】

Xu Chu cursed secretly and waved the tiger sword at the same time.

The knife comes out and the wind rises.

A white tiger's looming sword energy rushed straight towards Wang Jian. At the same time, Yu Jun, who was standing with the Qin Army, also waved his Mo Dao at the Qin Army.

boom--

Both sides suffer.

Xu Chu's chest was penetrated and blood flowed.

There was also a knife mark on Wang Jian's chest, and he was bleeding profusely.

The soldiers on both sides fighting on the front line died together.

The battlefield was extremely brutal.

The Tiger Guards were originally part of the Tiger Guards, the most elite regiment under Dong Huang, and Xu Chu's Tiger Guards were even more elite among the elites; after many trials and four or five years of hard training in this world, their combat effectiveness They are no longer inferior to the most elite soldiers of the Qin army. Even if there may be a slight gap in military formation, with the help of all the totems of the Tiger and Ben army, the gap is not big; what's more, Xu Chu, the tiger idiot, had already done so three years ago. When he killed Ji Wuming, he had already understood the White Tiger Army Formation he had transferred out.

Not to mention Wang Jian's troops. His more than 7,000 warriors are the palace guards of Qin Shihuang. They are the most elite warriors and the tiger troops of the Qin State. Wang Jian is also better than Xu Chu in terms of battle formation ability and in terms of numbers. If the difference is not big, it is naturally impossible for Wang Jian's troops to be weaker than Xu Chu's troops.

Of course, if he really commanded a large army of more than 100,000 people to fight, Wang Jian would definitely be able to completely defeat Xu Chu's troops if the soldiers on both sides were equally elite.

To put it harshly, Xu Chu was just a charge general and a guard general, and he had problems commanding an army of more than 50,000 people. But there is no such thing as personal force. Even if the number of people in the army is less than that of Wang Jian, he can still fight with Wang Jian in a lose-lose situation.

As a result, the bloody battle at Mopan Mountain turned into the bloody battle at Xiangji Temple.

Wang Jian's mouth twitched.

Xu Chu's ferocity became fierce!

"Come again!"

Xu Chu drew out the Emperor's Sword, holding a sword in one hand and a knife in the other, moving forward indomitably, as if I am going to challenge you to the end and die together.

Wang Jian was scared.

It can’t be said that he is cowardly.

But how could Wang Jian and Xu Chu fight here!

Wang Jian has already seen that Xu Chu is a life-threatening fool, and at most he is a warrior on the battlefield; and he, Wang Jian, wants to be the commander who commands countless such warriors to charge into battle and kill the enemy and destroy the country!

Let him fight with a fool here, he is stupid!

If he was really that stupid, he wouldn't be able to become a general.

What's more, does the enemy have any reinforcements? Could the enemy's purpose be to bite him?

Even if Xu Chu's troops had no reinforcements, he could still defeat Xu Chu here and capture him. But how many elite soldiers does he have left after this? Can you still defend Fucheng?

If Fucheng cannot be defended, it will naturally be impossible to defend Zitong. Now that the Yu army has occupied Jiameng Pass, Bashu will change hands across the board.

Regardless of his own value, the danger of being stuck here, or the overall situation of the battle, Wang Jian could not fight Xu Chu to the death here.

However, the two armies were already entangled, and if they suddenly withdraw their troops, it would inevitably be a rout. Therefore, Wang Jian directly ordered Changping Jun's remaining cavalry to attack the Yu army at all costs.

Although these cavalry were useless, they were all of the eighth level. The impact finally separated the two armies, and Wang Jian was able to lead the army to retreat, but at the cost of more than a thousand people being hacked to death by the Tiger and Ben troops.

"Zhongkang, do you want to continue chasing?"

Xu Chu's brother Xu Yi looked at Xu Chu's horrific wounds and couldn't help but ask.

"Wait a minute, the mountains here are nice, I want to engrave them!"

Xu Chu instilled Gang Qi into the emperor's sword wound, flattened the mountain rocks, and carved the stone to show his strength: In the twenty-fifth year of the Yu Dynasty, Xu Zhongkang defeated Wang Jian here!

After finishing the engraving, Xu Chu laughed and vomited blood. He also patted his brother on the shoulder and told him: "Stop chasing, take the brothers home."

After saying that, Xu Chu raised his head and fainted.

"Zhongkang!"

"General!"

Only then did everyone realize that Xu Chu had reached his limit just now and had scared Wang Jian away with his bloody courage.

Everyone quickly asked doctors to treat Xu Chu's injuries and gave him high-grade elixirs paid tribute by the Yin and Yang family.

Xu Chu couldn't die here, otherwise they wouldn't know what kind of madness their beloved emperor would get.

I don't know whether it was because the pills from the Yin Yang family were really good, or because Xu Chu's vitality was really strong, but after a while, Xu Chu was fine again.

"Brother..."

Xu Chu called his brother again.

"Zhongkang, don't worry, you will be fine!"

Xu Ding quickly held Xu Chu's hand and comforted him: "I have sent people to report the news as fast as possible. I believe Hua Tuo and other famous doctors will arrive soon. Don't act rashly now, don't worry, and have a good rest!"

"Brother... I have something that I have to... ahem... hand over to... you... ahem, I don't... rest assured... ahem!"

The pale Xu Chu said while vomiting blood.

At this moment, Xu Ding felt a pain in his heart.

When a person who was so seriously injured said this, he was not going to explain his funeral, right?

Of course, with Xu Chu's sincerity, he might want to arrange for someone to pursue Wang Jian again.

"You said, I'm listening, I will do it for you! Don't worry, with His Majesty and me here, Yi'er and the others will not suffer..."

Xu Dinghu's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to cry when he looked at his only biological brother.

These are his truly beloved relatives, friends, and brothers. Why are they leaving?

Xu Ding felt like his heart was going to be broken.

Xu Chu looked at his brother with a strange look on his face, wondering if there was something wrong with his brother's mind: With His Majesty here, who is worried about what happens after his death?

"Brother, I mean... ahem... you must protect the stone I carved on. When this world ends, I will move back to my mansion! Ahem..."

Xu Chu had a serious look on his face and warned him like a tutor in Baidi City.

It's just that Liu Bei's entrustment was Adou and Jiangshan, but Xu Chu's entrustment was a stone.

Xu Ding:……

[Are you kidding me? 】

However, Xu Chu ignored Xu Ding's confused expression and held his brother's hand tightly. His eyes seemed to have a flash of light: "Also, brother, I feel that my calligraphy skills have greatly improved recently. You will definitely make people expand more." Print a few thousand copies of my calligraphy work and give it to each of the civil servants and generals of Yu, so that they can evaluate my calligraphy work!"

"It must be delivered to Dian Wei!"

[The calligraphy you just did? 】

Xu Ding was stunned for a moment, then became speechless. He couldn't help but pull out the hand held by Xu Chu with a look of disgust.

[How could I have such a shameless brother! 】

After coming out of Xu Chu's place, Xu Ding sighed and looked at his brother's calligraphy works that were disgusting to dogs. He couldn't help but carve words on the stone next to him: In the twenty-fifth year of the Yu Dynasty, Xu Zhongkang and Xu Bokang defeated Wang Jian here!

Bokang is the name of Xu Ding.

After finishing the carving, Xu Ding looked proud: As expected, I, the elder brother, have a higher level of calligraphy!

Not long after Xu Ding finished carving, Hua Xiong, whose life was saved by Xu Chu but was also seriously injured, came with his troops as soon as he got the news.

He glanced at the words on the stone wall, and at this moment Wenquxing, who had not favored him for decades, finally shed a light of mercy on him.

Hua Xiong pulled out the king's sword and cut the stone with the same inscription: In the twenty-fifth year of Dayu, generals Xu Chu, Hua Xiong, Xu Ding, Niu Jin, etc. fought fiercely with Qin general Wang Jian in a fierce battle at Mianzhu Pass and the ancient Shu Road. Hua Xiong took the lead and refused to retreat despite being seriously injured. Wang Jian was defeated and escaped with serious injuries.

After finishing writing, Hua Xiong stroked his beard and laughed, calling to his soldiers to quickly print thousands more copies.

Xu Ding:……

Damn it, you don’t even have the face anymore, right?

Is it too late for me to rewrite it now?

Xu Ding thought for a while, and then engraved in front of him: "In the twenty-fifth year of the Great Yu Dynasty, Xu Zhongkang and Xu Bokang defeated Wang Jian here!" After that, he added: Xu Bokang pursued him urgently, but Wang Jian did not dare to fight again, and fled thousands of miles in defeat. Fucheng to avoid it.

Shortly after Xu Ding finished adding the words, Niu Jin, who was equally impatient, also came with his troops. After seeing the inscriptions on the stone wall, he was silent for a long time, and finally drew his sword and inscribed: In the twenty-fifth year of Dayu, he attacked Qin and fought against the Qin Dynasty. Qin general Wang Jian fought in Mianzhu, and the Qin army's ambush troops were all out. Niu Jin defended the back road and defeated Wang Jian's other troops. Wang Jian's army was defeated and fled thousands of miles to Fucheng to avoid it.
