"Master, there is an urgent message!"
Zou An, who was enjoying himself with the slave boy in the tent, suddenly received a report from the guard, and asked with some displeasure: "Whose urgent message is it?"
"It was the Third Young Master who translated the Song Dynasty!"
"he?"
Zou An got up from the carpet, put on his clothes, walked out of the tent and said, "What's his emergency?"
"My subordinates dare not read the eldest son's letter, so I ask the eldest son to check it himself!"
"trouble!"
Zou An took the letter angrily and opened it directly.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.
"What!? My father is dead!"
Zou An looked at the letter in his hand with disbelief, and then quickly ordered the guard:
"Quick! Gather all the generals quickly! Let General Xing Yu come to me first!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Xing Yu came to Zou An's tent with a serious look on his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Young Master!"
Obviously, he already knew that Zou Che was dead.
I saw Zou An hurriedly came to him and said in a trembling voice: "My father was killed by the Qin army. Has the Qin army begun to attack Baiyue on a large scale? How could my father do this?"
After speaking, he directly handed the letter in his hand to Xing Yu.
When Xing Yu read the contents of the letter and was about to ask Zou An a few words, he was already at a loss: "General Xing Yu, what do you think we should do now!?"
"."
Xing Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard the words, thinking that this eldest son is not good, how can he lead Xiou to resist the Qin army in the future?
However, as Zou Che's confidant general, Xing Yu had to take on the responsibility of protecting Zou An. He raised his hand and comforted:
"Don't worry, Sir, there is something fishy about this matter!"
"Um?"
Zou An was stunned and asked with some confusion: "What does the general mean by this? Is it possible that Yi Yusong is lying to me?"
"Yixu Song will not dare to deceive the eldest son with your life no matter how discordant he is with you!"
"So, my father is really dead?"
"There shouldn't be any lies."
Xing Yu frowned and nodded, then said with a thoughtful look on his face: "What the general thinks is strange is that your Majesty has been in the capital before we set off, how could he be killed by the Qin army? If the Qin army really went on a large-scale conquest Baiyue, why didn’t Zhao Tuo inform us?”
"He is the general of the Qin army, how could he inform us?!"
Zou An said, somewhat dumbfounded: "He is eager to drive us all away!"
"No, at least not now"
Xing Yu shook his head and denied: "Zhao Tuo's current target is not us, otherwise he would not have told us that Wang Jian is dead."
"Then what happened?"
Zou An said a little irritably: "Could it be Yi Xusong's fault? I knew this guy had bad intentions, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't even let his father go, this beast!"
"Eldest Young Master, please calm down. The first priority is to solve the trouble at hand. Since Zhao Tuo intends for us to ambush these Qin troops, why don't we ask Yi Xusong to come over and ambush them with us?"
Xing Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "If he agrees to come, it means there is nothing wrong with him. If he doesn't agree to come, it means there is something wrong with him!"
"But, those Qin troops are not far away from us, how can we translate to Song Dynasty in time?"
"How come the eldest son still doesn't understand? Whether he comes or not is one thing, but our ambush of the Qin army is another!"
"this"
Zou An hesitated, as if he still didn't understand.
At this time, the slave boy lying on the carpet got up with a smile, walked to Zou An, and explained softly: "General Xing Yu means that all the credit will be given to you, and the risk will be borne by Yi Xusong!"
As he said that, he glanced at Xing Yu and said: "We ambushed the Qin Army twice, and both times were successful. Do you think the Qin Army will retaliate against us crazily? Once the Qin Army starts to retaliate against us, Translate Song If you come here, wouldn’t you be playing into the opponent’s hands?”
"But."
Zou An hesitated: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to translate Yu Song this way?"
"Oh, my eldest son, you still have that kind heart. Yi Xusong doesn't think so. Maybe he is plotting against you too."
"General Xingyu, look."
Hearing this, Xing Yu glanced at the slave boy with disdain, and then said to Zou An:
"Although what he said is not very pleasant, there is a saying in the Central Plains that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement until the matter is investigated clearly!"
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Zou An is not a very independent person. Seeing that the two people he trusted the most reached an agreement, he didn't bother to think about it and just pretended to agree.
Soon, all the generals from Xiou who followed Zou An to ambush Wang Jian gathered together.
When they heard that Zou Che had died in the hands of the Qin army, they were all furious and demanded that the Qin army pay the blood debt with blood.
Hearing this, Zou An glanced at Xing Yu and showed an indignant look: "The Qin army killed my people, burned my village, and harmed our king. This is an irreconcilable hatred!
Send me an order to immediately notify the nearby tribes of this matter and ask them to join us in resisting the atrocities of the Qin army! "
"Kill all the Qin troops! Avenge your Majesty! Avenge your clan!"
The generals shouted one after another and quickly gathered their troops and headed towards Yuecheng Ridge.
the other side.
Under the wet woods, groups of Qin troops were passing through Yuecheng Ridge.
This is the last barrier in the hinterland of Xiou Kingdom.
"Report——!"
Suddenly, a messenger hurried from behind and reported to Tu Sui: "General, the rear army camp has been raided. General Zhao Chi is asking for support!"
Tu Sui frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "There are a thousand elites in the rear army camp, can't they withstand the Yue people like beggars?!"
Upon hearing this, a general stood up and explained: "General Zhao Chi's men are mostly infantry, and the Yue people attack the camp with bows and arrows, so it is difficult to resist;
If the rear army camp collapses due to this, I am afraid that the Chinese army will also be threatened! "
Tu Sui pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Zhou Fu, you lead a thousand elites to the rear army to assist Zhao Chi!"
"promise!"
As soon as the words fell, the general named Zhou Fu immediately got on his horse, called a captain, left the Chinese army camp, and rushed back.
Wang Cheng looked at Zhou Fu going away, not knowing what happened.
He felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Speed up and pass through Yuecheng Ridge quickly!"
As Tu Sui once again urged the central army and the front army to advance, the mighty Qin army quickened its pace.
However, just as the Qin army came to a narrow mountain path, a sharp roar suddenly came.
"Chirp chirp——"
As the guard general beside Wang Jian, Wang Cheng is also well-informed. When he heard this roar, his pupils suddenly shrank and he screamed with all his strength: "Enemy attack!"
Yes, this unique roar is the signal for Yue people to attack.
"Hurry, form a formation quickly!"
Tu Sui's face changed slightly when he heard Wang Cheng's roar, and he gave the order involuntarily.
His one thousand elite men, plus the five thousand Chu people and Qin troops recruited temporarily, a total of six thousand troops, immediately formed a square, raising their shields to defend against the enemy.
But because the former army was far away, it was difficult for them to react immediately.
Between the lightning and flint, the entire Yuecheng Ridge was filled with shrill monkey cries.
In this Yuecheng Ridge, the echoes come one after another, making people's scalp numb, as if they are in purgatory on earth.
The next moment, countless monkeys with their tails set on fire rushed out of the woods like crazy and headed straight for the Qin army's camp.
"Sure enough, he still came."
Wang Cheng's eyes turned cold and he turned to look at Xia Wuji.
Xia Wuji and the doctors from Daqin Medical Center were seen with pale faces. It seemed that they had encountered such a scene for the first time.
In fact, they also asked to leave here with the body of 'Wang Jian', but Tu Sui refused because he wanted these Yue people to sacrifice Wang Jian's blood.
Unexpectedly, the Yue people took the lead in launching the attack.
Wang Cheng looked at the large swath of flaming monkeys that kept shuttling through the forest. There was a kind of morbid excitement in his eyes, just like a gambler at a gambling table whose eyes were red.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Tu Sui roared and ordered.
Qin Jun's reaction was already very quick, but in any case it was not as fast as the monkey who rushed forward.
These monkeys wander in the mountains and forests on weekdays, and their familiarity with the mountains and forests is far beyond that of humans.
In addition, they were already running at lightning speed, coming and going freely, making them difficult to guard against. Now that their tails were set on fire, they went crazy and attacked the Qin army's camp.
Their eyes were red, and they had obviously lost their minds. They showed their white fangs and sharp claws and attacked people like crazy.
The Qin army's most advantageous crossbows were useless in front of them.
Because of the continuous rain, the crossbow string has become damp and cannot be used normally.
In an instant, countless flaming monkeys, screaming shrilly, rushed into the Qin army's formation, causing chaos.
"Get away! Get away!"
"Kill, kill for me!"
The Qin army waved their weapons indiscriminately, trying to drive away and kill the monkeys that rushed towards them, but it had no effect.
Because they couldn't touch this group of flexible monkeys at all.
While Wang Cheng roared and asked those around him to protect Xia Wuji and the others, he directed the battle formation to move closer to the central army.
He knew that this attack was just a prelude, and the real backhand was still behind, and I was afraid there would be a brutal fight next.
Sure enough, the next moment, there was actually a sound of buzzing in the air.
Listening to this sound, it is obviously different from that of a crossbow.
"Shield, raise your shield quickly!"
Wang Cheng shouted loudly and hid behind the shield.
After a burst of "doo" sound, countless short and sharp bamboo arrows, shining with a faint blue light, pierced the shield.
Poisonous dart!
There are arrows like this flying not only from one direction, but also from all directions in Yuecheng Ridge, densely packed.
The Qin army's formation was on the verge of collapse due to the monkey attack just now, and now it was suddenly attacked by blowguns, and it collapsed instantly.
The screams, mixed with the roar of monkeys, and the sound of arrows hitting shields, echoed in the mountains for a long time.
"Defend the enemy! Defend the enemy! Don't retreat! Anyone who retreats will die!"
Tu Sui's eyes were red, he was holding a long sword, and he roared to maintain his formation to defend himself against the enemy.
He knew that there must be no chaos at this time. Once there was chaos, the army would collapse instantly and they would probably die without a burial place.
But at this moment, Tu Sui suddenly felt an itch on his neck. He wiped his neck subconsciously, only to feel a sticky feeling.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and he felt like the world was spinning. Before he could react, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
He hurriedly tried to get up, but the terrifying dizziness was getting worse and worse.
At this time, a vague voice rushed towards him.
"General! Protect the general!"
Under the protection of the shield, Wang Cheng quickly approached Tu Sui and helped him up.
At this time, Tu Sui had a red blow dart stuck in his neck, and blood with a strange brown color was flowing out continuously.
As if feeling that he was about to die soon, Tu Sui grabbed Wang Cheng's arm and said with all his strength: "Take the old general and break through."
For a moment, Wang Cheng's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but choked up: "General, why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do this!"
"hehe."
Tu Sui tried his best to smile, but blood could not help but flow from the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Old. The old general treats me very well. I feel sad that I can't avenge him... I feel uneasy!"
"No, no, old general."
Wang Chengcheng wanted to tell Tu Sui the truth, but suddenly felt that it was useless to talk now, saving people was more important, and he quickly shouted to Xia Wuji behind him: "Old Ling! Old Ling! Save him quickly!"
"I'm afraid it won't work. I'm sorry, old general. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Yes."
"That's right! Open your mouth!"
Before Tu Sui could finish his words, Xia Wuqi slapped him and put a pill directly into his mouth.
Tu Sui felt a coolness in his mouth. His eyes were originally in a state of laxity, but he was stimulated by the irritation of the pills. He couldn't help but sit up in a state of death, but soon rolled his eyes again and collapsed directly, unconscious. personnel.
"Old Ling, general him"
Wang Cheng was startled and was about to ask Xia Wuji.
I saw Xia Wuqie waving his hands with a serious face: "I won't die for the time being, but I won't live for long. It depends on whether we can break out."
"this"
Wang Cheng was speechless.
In this current situation, breaking out has become a luxury.
As the Qin army began to collapse, countless shirtless soldiers from the Xiou Kingdom, armed with weapons and covered with tattoos, rushed out roaring!
In an instant, the two armies were in close combat.
At this time, Wang Chengcai discovered that these Yue people were actually the Xiou soldiers who ambush them last time.
Moreover, these Xiou warriors were shouting about revenge.
Each and every one of them was fearless and rushed to kill like crazy.
The Chinese army camp, which had already collapsed, began to collapse on a large scale.
Only the guard Wang Jian beside him remained motionless.
However, he was coerced by the rebel army, and with only a few hundred guards, he could not shake the enemy's thousands of troops.
Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly critical, a trace of determination flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes.
He carried the unconscious Tu Sui on his back, turned to Xia Wuji and said, "Old Ling, we will retreat towards Li River in a moment. No matter what is behind us, we will move forward indomitably!"
"Okay! I will go crazy with you today!"
Xia Wuqi was not a timid person who was afraid of death. Since he agreed to Wang Jian's help, he naturally thought of the dangers he might encounter.
However, when I thought that Wang Jian was safe and sound and I had to suffer for him, I couldn't help but add: "If I die, it will be on Wang Jian!"
"Well"
The corner of Wang Cheng's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say. He could only turn around and order the guards beside him: "Listen to my order, set up a shield and retreat towards the Li River!"
"promise!"
The guards agreed and immediately ran towards Li River.
Please vote for me, it’s the last day.
