Chapter 476: The Intention of Retreating
Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, had already thought of withdrawing his troops to Guilin Prefecture. He sent people to Pingle Prefecture City and ordered the prefect Chen Yongsheng to mobilize ships and build a floating bridge on the Lechuan River in the north of the city.
Guilin Prefecture is located to the north and west of this place. To march towards Guilin, one must cross the Lechuan River, which flows roughly from north to south.
But before noon, Wu Gao received a reply from Chen Yongsheng. In the letter, Chen Yongsheng said that Pingle Prefecture had sufficient food and grass, and invited the Marquis of Jiangyin to station in the city. However, he did not mention the construction of the pontoon bridge.
After reading the letter, Wu Gao was immediately furious and blurted out, "Even a prefect wants to bargain with me? This Chen Yongsheng is too bold!"
Before the army arrived at Pingle Prefecture, Wu Gao made some promises to Chen Yongsheng in order to

On the afternoon of August 12, the northwest wind was still blowing in the mountains of Pingle Prefecture, and the sun was occasionally visible in the clouds.The large number of Wu Gao's troops in the hilly area to the west were slowly retreating. The two armies had been in a state of confrontation since yesterday, but only a small-scale fierce battle took place on the Han Wang army's vanguard side; and now the main force of the enemy army began to retreat again.Several generals around Zhu Gaoxu immediately rushed to request orders to pursue the enemy!But Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation and said, "The situation this time is completely different from the situation when we were chasing Xue Lu's army before. The terrain here is undulating, which is not conducive to the army's rapid advancement; Wu Gao has not gathered the main force of the army together. Moreover, the enemy has not been defeated, and their morale and combat effectiveness have not
Game of the Throne Chapter 478: Ballad in the Cold Rain
Heavy rain was falling slantingly in the northwest wind, and the boat bridge on the river was hazy in the rain, as if shrouded in fog.The long procession of soldiers and horses moved slowly in the rain. Some wore straw hats, a few wore straw raincoats, and some soldiers had no shelter from the rain and marched in the rain.The roads in the wild were not paved with bricks or stones. After a whole night of rain, the roads had been trampled by countless people and horses this morning and were already muddy.The conditions at this time were limited. There was no need for a major natural disaster. Just an ordinary rain would slow down the army's movement. The distance from Pingle Prefecture to Yangshuo County was less than 60 miles. If the weather was good, the army could reach the place in less than two days. However, given the current road conditions, the army would have difficulty reaching Yangshuo County in three days with a large number of vehicles and bagg

Zhu Gaoxu resisted the burning of his head and got up. He was feeling hazy all day long.He was more confused than being drunk. He probably remembered what he had done, but he couldn't tell the sequence afterwards. He seemed to have gone to a military camp. He wet his trousers and changed his clothes. He also summoned some generals and asked them to stop the rumors in the military camps within a radius of two to three miles.It's more uncomfortable than getting a knife. The knife only causes local pain. Being sick causes the whole body to feel weak, panicked and painful from the inside out, even if it's just a small high fever or typhoid fever.Zhu Gaoxu returned to the camp of the Chinese army and lay down again. After sleeping for a while, he remembered that the army did not break camp today, and it was inexplicably delayed for a day.Between falling asleep and waking up, he had all kinds of nightmares. Sometimes what he dreams about is something tha
Game of the Throne Chapter 480: God is not in favor
In the yard outside the lobby of Pinglefu Government Office, it was still stormy. The wind brought light rain to the eaves, and the eaves and thresholds of some offices were wet.There were many officials and several military generals in the lobby. They were sitting or standing, whispering to each other from time to time, as if waiting for something.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone is obviously not waiting for the festival celebration, the atmosphere is wrong.What's more, Wu Gao's army crossed the river and left Pingle Mansion three days ago, at midnight on the 12th. When Pingle City's troops were very empty, the Han Dynasty's rebel army (Chen Zhen's tribe) had already arrived at the city.The messenger of the rebels outside the city was in the signing room behind the lobby. No one among the government officials clamored to send the envoy to the army camp. They were all waiting for the outcome of the discussion between the prefect and t

On the morning of August 16, it rained a little, but then it cleared up and the sun came out around noon. The roads were therefore much drier, and the Han army's marching speed also increased.Based on the report from the scouts, Zhu Gaoxu estimated that the army would reach the Lijiang River ferry east of Yangshuo County by evening today.The sky is cloudy, there is wind on the ground, and the sun occasionally shines through the clouds.Another messenger came from the front, and Zhu Gaoxu and his team left the main road and stopped at the side of the army. Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his right hand, straightened the letter paper swaying in the wind, and buried his head in reading.He is still quite weak, but the high fever went away the morning before yesterday. Because he didn't get enough rest, his main discomfort now is a slight headache, slow thinking, and pain in his throat when swallowing. I guess his tonsils are inflamed, and these symptoms will pr

It was just dawn, and the wet banks of the Li River were covered with fog. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and crossed a floating bridge with the civil and military officials and personal soldiers of the central army. When he looked back, he saw countless soldiers gradually coming out of the white fog.Countless torches became blurred in the hazy air; from a distance, they looked like floating fireflies.There was no sound of drums or trumpets, just the sound of footsteps and the clanking of metals such as armor colliding gently all around. From time to time, there were a few coughs and the neighing of horses.After Zhu Gaoxu and his companions crossed the pontoon bridge, they came to the flat land on the south bank of the Li River, which looked like a triangular "peninsula". The location of the Han army was on the east side of the plain, which was the smallest corner of the "triangle" (the right side on the map).With such terrain, the Han army needed even f
Game of the Throne Chapter 483: Great Shame and Humiliation
In the smoke-filled vegetable field, rows of soldiers marched forward side by side. The faces of the enemy soldiers less than ten steps away were already clear, and their expressions seemed distorted. They opened their mouths and shouted, as if they were extremely angry and filled with fear."The King of Han is our King..." the rebels shouted. Even the officers and soldiers of the government army could recite this phrase! Because everyone had heard it more than once.The shouts and screams from the crowd were so loud that they were deafening. It was as if everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs.Soon, the first rows of the two armies came into close combat! Screams and the clang of spears hitting shields were heard all around.People simply couldn't stop. The shields behind them almost stuck to the backs of the soldiers in the front row. Regardless of whether the people in front were willing or not, the crowd pushed forward and continued to adv
Game of the Throne Chapter 484: Competition under the Night Sky
"Wu Gao is about to run away!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said.Night had already fallen, the muskets in the west were still flashing, the sound of firearms and the noisy voices echoed through the night sky. The battle was not over yet.However, the Han army continued to advance and had already crossed the central area of this plain. There was a large village in the middle, but now only the charred embers of the houses were left; the charred wood faintly revealed dark red charcoal cracks in the dark night, just like the terrible color of magma.The plain stretched to the bank of the Li River, which was completely dark; there was no light on the other side of the river in the distance. Originally, this flat and fertile land by the river should have been the most densely populated place, but the battle started here, and the people who could escape fled, and they dared not turn on the lights at night.To the north there was a vast expanse of darkness, with no sig
