The cockroach army is about to attack Yongcheng, and Yongcheng is in danger. King Ruluo of the West summoned all officials, both civil and military. King Ruluo Xi was anxious about the situation and asked for advice: "Changti was defeated miserably and the people suffered. It is the fault of the ants. Changti was breached and Yongcheng lost a barrier. Do you have any strategies to defeat it?" Enemy?" A general stood up and said: "The enemy dares to invade, and the general will lead his troops to attack him head-on." King Ruluo Xi knew that all the generals of the ant tribe were brave and good at fighting, and said: "The general is braver than the ants, but there are only ten soldiers defending the city. Wan, how can it contend with the powerful enemy?" It has no soldiers and no generals to send, which makes it really difficult. A civil servant looked left and right, while many officials were helpless in the face of this situation and remained silent. It stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say." Faced with such a trend of decline, it is the only one that dares to stand up and speak, and it must have a strategy in mind. King Ruluo Xi asked: "Sir, speak directly if you have something to say." The civil servant still looked at his left and right, then faced the king and said: "In the battle of Changti, our country lost all its elite, including many generals who are accustomed to fighting. Only the old, the weak, the women and the children are left. When the country mourns and every family has a funeral, everyone, old and young, cries, and everyone hates it. The king should take the lead, inspire the fighting spirit of the country's insects, share the same hatred of the enemy, and work together to build a great wall of flesh and blood. This is one of the plans. Also; secondly, send eloquent people to lobby the kings of the island countries, or provide funds or reinforcements for rescue; thirdly, build deep fortresses to withstand the arrival of reinforcements for a while, and then annihilate them together." But the war is as unpredictable as the wind and clouds. The test will not wait for you to have a chance to breathe. The army is approaching, and the king has no choice but to send envoys to the island countries to request reinforcements to save the capital from danger. The island countries all reported a wait-and-see attitude, and some kings, who valued love and righteousness, agreed to send troops to rescue, but the army stopped and hesitated. In times of crisis, other countries cannot be relied upon. At present, we can only rely on ourselves.
The wind and clouds are changing, the clouds are rolling and relaxing. The army gathered under the city and began to attack the city together. All the common people in the city who could participate in the war did so, forming an army of 300,000 to fight to the death. Arrows rained down like rain, and a large number of cockroaches were killed and injured. Ming Jin withdrew his troops, only to besiege but not attack. He waited for morale to subside before attacking, and camped outside the city. At night, the soldiers guarding the city saw a scene that frightened ants. A group of cockroaches gathered under the city, not for meritorious service, but to rob the corpses of their own kind. It turns out that this is how they clean the battlefield, which frightens the insects. This move can frighten the soldiers defending the city. The soldiers guarding the city began to gather together and talk, and all of them became angry about the scene they had just witnessed, and the defense of the city began to relax. The next day, the cockroach army began to attack the city and came out in full force. The front army fought hard to attack the city, with arrows flying down from the city. When the front army fell, the rear army took up the place, and they climbed up to the entrance of the city densely. The scalding hot oil was poured down, and these cockroaches fell down on the city like stars, and thick smoke billowed. The front army failed to attack the city, but the rear army continued to make up for it and attacked the city continuously. Seeing that the siege was unsuccessful, the most despicable methods were used. The trebuchet was pushed up and excrement was thrown over the city entrance. There was a terrible smell. Flies were flying around. The soldiers guarding the city were in a mess, fighting against the army of flies. Below, there was an army of cockroaches attacking the city. Yongcheng was very dangerous. About to be captured. The civil servants and generals drew their swords and climbed to the city entrance, fighting alongside the powerful enemy troops. Faced with this heavy siege, they died of exhaustion.
A minister fled back and said: "Your Majesty, Yongcheng has been captured. The enemy troops will soon attack the palace gate. Take the people and flee quickly." King Ruluo Xi vowed to live with the capital and refused to leave. The minister urged: "Your Majesty, what would you do if you killed these people in battle? These thieves even eat their own kind, and there is no credibility in humanity. Have you forgotten the people who were brutally massacred after Changti was conquered? Really?" King Ruluo Xi governed the country with generosity and benevolence, cherished the people, and was eager to restore Zhou's rules and regulations, so he persuaded King Ruluo Xi to talk about the people's affairs. King Ruluo Xi then compromised and said: "Ai Qing can escape with the ants." The minister sternly refused and said: "I can lead my family soldiers to fight with the enemy to gain opportunities." King Ruluo Xi led his family Chong and his people escaped from Yongcheng through the corridor. The minister led one hundred thousand soldiers to guard the palace gate and swore: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The time has come for you to be loyal to the country. Are you afraid?" The soldiers lined up in front of the palace gate and shouted: "Not afraid! Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid!” His voice could shake the mountains and rivers and make the earth tremble. The minister was pleased to see them and said: "You are good, you are a role model for all our ant clans. You guard the palace gate, block the enemy, and protect the house insects from being ravaged by the enemy."
"I swear I will never come back! I swear I will never come back!" The enemy troops invaded from the west gate of Yongcheng. The minister and his soldiers were not afraid in the face of danger, and they took the lead in charging into the enemy. One hundred thousand soldiers followed, and they raised their swords to chop, and they suddenly became red-eyed. The cockroach army surrounded them, stretched out their halberds, and chopped them into pulp. One hundred thousand soldiers died in the battle. The minister dragged his long sword and slowly climbed up the stone steps, looking up at the royal city. There was smoke everywhere under the city and millions of troops in front of him. He wiped off the blood on his sword and committed suicide. Millions of troops stepped on the minister's corpse and rushed into the palace gate. The general entered the Ant King Palace with a majestic momentum and the dignity of a king. He sat on it with the joy of victory on his face. He looked at everyone with a cold smile and said: "I am the overlord of the world. Who can compete with me in the world?" male?"
King Ruluo fled with the prince and his people to the wilderness. The King of the West was seriously ill and was bedridden from then on. The wind and rain were blowing hard, beating on the sand. The large army of insects and horses were forced to temporarily stop and rest on the spot, and camped here. The guards defended outside to prevent the pursuers from coming. Heavy rain fell continuously for several days, delaying the enemy's pursuit along the way. King Ruluo Xi, who was seriously ill, summoned the queen and her assistant ministers, and said: "Queen, gentlemen, I will soon die in the world of ants." The queen was crying beside her. King Ruluo Xi looked up at the queen and said: "Xiu is crying. After the death of the widow ant, several concubines and several slaves were buried with the widow ant. Caterpillars and worms were used as sacrifices to pay homage to the late king, heaven and earth." Then he called his assistant ministers. He stepped forward and said: "In the future, you and other eight ministers will assist the prince to inherit the throne and restore Jiuruluo Xizhou."
At this time, the prince led his troops to retreat and stood on the sand dunes to watch. After making sure that the enemy was not pursuing them, he withdrew his troops and returned. The prancing horse whipped up its whip and galloped in the pouring rain, its hooves gradually stirred up water and mud, and shouted: "Father, father." King Luo Xi struggled to hold up the ant's body, and shouted with his last breath: "My son," then he lay down, closed his eyes, and slept with the heaven and the earth. The prince rushed into the camp and shouted: "Father, father, my son is back! My son is back!" Then he cried bitterly, and the ministers around him advised: "Your Highness, my condolences, the king has passed away." Then the person beside the king The eunuch announced the late king's will, and the prince, queen, and their assistants knelt in front of them. The eunuch read out: "The sky is falling, the country is declining, and the enemy is coming. The ants cry out in sorrow and mourn with the people. Huang Tian did not bless, the hills were destroyed, and soon he died in the world. He was passed down to the prince. The prince is kind, and the ministers are kind. If you are a virtuous man, there is hope for the rejuvenation of the motherland. The few ants are very lucky. The people are very lucky. The motherland is very lucky. Although it is bumpy and displaced, the ambition is not destroyed. Choosing the eight virtuous ministers to assist can turn the world around, the sun and the moon can be restored, benefit the people, and create peace in the world. ." After the reading was finished, the ants shouted: "Your Majesty's heroic spirit will live forever, and may the Jiuruluo Xizhou prosper for thousands of years." Then he stood up, and the prince saluted the eight ministers and said: "My dear friends, you and I will fight against the national calamity together. Drive out foreigners and return Jiuruluo Continent to the Yanhuang of China." The eight assistant ministers swore: "I will live and die with Jiuruluo Xizhou." Then he ordered the ceremonial officer, "This is the mourning." A minister stood up to dissuade him. , said: "Your Majesty, please don't. If there is a mourning at this time, the whole country will be ordered, and the enemy will take advantage of the country's mourning to attack. It will be dangerous." Only then did the prince understand, and said: "There will be no mourning secretly." The ministers immediately In response, he said: "Yes, we will not announce the funeral secretly. When things settle down, we will issue an order to the whole country to mourn." The prince agreed with this opinion, and he and the ministers walked out in the rain and stood on the hill, looked around, and said: "My dear friends, Do you know where to choose to build the capital?" The ministers looked away, and one minister said to the prince: "Your Highness, in front of you is the coastal city, surrounded by the sea. Standing on the winding hill, you can overlook the entire Jiuruluo Island. From the islands, you can see the South China Sea and the Jiuruluo Nanzhou Islands in front. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. There are hills in front of them. They are a battleground for military strategists. It is a good place to build a capital." Solved the problem of building a capital. The most important issue in the capital, the prince was pleased and said: "Okay, set off for the coastal city immediately." The body of the late king was loaded into the car, eight horses pulled a cart, entered the coastal city, built fortifications, and established a strong army The naval force was formed, and an elite land force was formed, and then a large number of soldiers were recruited. Heavy rain fell continuously for five days, giving them enough breathing space to recuperate with the people. Then the mourning ceremony began, and the whole country was ordered to mourn. Ministers and common people escorted the coffin of the late king out of the city. All the concubines and slaves wept and mourned. After walking with the ceremonial procession, there were heavy guards around. Any slaves or concubines who fled halfway out of fear can be killed on the spot. The slaves were pushed into pit No. 1 and shot or buried alive. The concubines were thrown into the tomb together and suffocated to death. The oil lamp was extinguished, and the tomb was dark and filled with corpses.
When General Cockroach heard that King Ruluo Xi had passed away, he stood up and said: "Okay, okay, King Ruluo West is dead. We can use this opportunity to mourn him and lead an army to attack and annihilate him in one fell swoop. We can achieve hegemony and plot the world." There’s hope.”
