Chapter 21: Shang Tang Destroys Summer

After the destruction of Ge, Shang Wang Tang convened to discuss an attack on Wei, Gu, and Kunwu.

Zhong Yu said;

Shang Wangwu felt that he should attack Wei first, Gu and Kunwu.

Very good, I wonder if other people still have high opinions?

Long Hui Shili, the king of Shang, I think that the move to the northwest, Wei is a small vassal state surnamed Peng, and Gu Guo is a small vassal state with the surname of Shang, all of which are the troubles of the allies of the Xia Dynasty and the northwest of Shang. Pull out these two nails and sweep away the worries behind the side; Wei and Gu are not strong, so they can divide their forces to attack them at the same time, and then attack Kunwu with a combined force, which can reduce the time consumption and also prevent the enemy from having enough time to seek reinforcements.

In this case, if the army is divided to attack, can it be won?

I will win, I am willing to lead a team to fight Gu Guo,

Okay, Long Hui led a team of 8,000 people to attack Gu State, and Zhong Yu and Yi Yin led 8,000 chariots and 70 chariots with this king to attack Wei State.

As soon as the Shang Tang army arrived in Wei, Weber immediately sent 4,000 soldiers and twenty chariots to meet the battle, because the number of people and the number of chariots were at a disadvantage, soon the king of Shang captured Wei, Long Hui's attack was more smooth, before sending troops Long Hui equipped them with 1,000 Macqua Witt and 10,000 Australian wooden throwing sticks, which can knock people unconscious. Gu Bo sent a chariot to impact Long Hui's subordinate battle array, only one round of chariot charge encountered Long Hui's 1000 men with a horse quawit to cut off the horse's head, and then the living soldiers were besieged by the Ge soldiers, Gu Bo saw that the chariot attack had no effect and led the Ge soldiers and swordsmen nearly 4,000 people to attack, Long Hui ordered people to throw the wooden sticks in four rounds, the enemy had no time to hide, and the Ge soldiers then dispatched to basically wipe out the enemy. Long Hui led his troops to occupy the Gu State.

After that, the two armies combined to take advantage of the victory and raise troops in the southwest, Kunwu was Xia Wei's closest ally, the main barrier in the southeast, and the strength was stronger. In order to eliminate the last important wing of the Xia Dynasty, and then immediately attack the Xia capital, Shang Tang personally led the national army to attack the Kunwu country, and Xia Bo of the Kunwu country led 8,000 soldiers and thirty chariots to meet the battle, and with the coordination of the armies of the vassal states, it was destroyed in one fell swoop. In this battle, together with the battles of Exterminating Ge, Wei, and Gu, the Shang army won four battles and four victories, clearing the obstacles on the road to exterminating Xia.

Then, Shang Tang gathered the merchant army and the allied army of the princes to take an oath, affirming that he was adhering to the will of heaven to conquer Xia Ji, in order to save the people from fire and water.

Shang Tang read an oath of war, and Shang Tang said: "Listen to me, it's not that my kid dares to casually use his ministers to attack the king and make trouble. It is because Xia Wang Ji has many sins, and God has ordered me to punish him. As you all know, Ji's sin lies in his disregard for our crops, the misappropriation of the fruits of the people's agricultural production, and the harm to the traditional political affairs of the Xia Dynasty. As I have heard you say, the sin of the man is not only that he and some of his treacherous courtiers have robbed the people of the fruits of their agricultural production. For their pleasures, he also gathered up the wealth of the princes for them to squander. The people who harmed the Xia Dynasty were not allowed to live in peace. Everyone is unanimous in not having the same heart, and they also point to the sun to curse him, when he will perish, everyone is willing to die with him. This is already a grudge from heaven to anger. There are so many sins in Ji, God has commanded me to conquer, and I am afraid that God will punish me, so I dare not lead everyone to conquer him. You will help me in my conquest, and if God wants to punish me, I will receive it alone, and I will give you a great reward. Do not disbelieve me, for I will not break my word. If any of you will not obey my oath, I will kill you without forgiveness, and I hope you will not be punished.

SenseTime also announced strict battlefield discipline. After the Shang army swore an oath to the division of Shang Tang, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all expressed their willingness to fight to the death with the Xia army.

After the oath, Shang Tang selected 70 good cars, 20,000 death squads, united the armies of all parties, took a strategic detour, detoured to the west of the summer capital to raid the summer capital, Xia Wei hurriedly responded to the battle, went west to refuse Tang, and fought with the Shang army.

Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai that day, and this king ordered you to be released back to Shang, but you rebelled, and I regret that I did not kill Tang in Xiatai.

Xia Wei, if it weren't for Yi Yin and Zhong Yu who learned that you had imprisoned me, they collected many treasures, toys and beautiful women to give to you, how could you release me? After a fight, Xia Wei retreated to Narujo.

On the day when the two armies fought in Mingtiao, it was just in time for the weather of heavy thunderstorms, and the Shang army did not avoid the thunderstorms and fought bravely, and the Xia army was defeated and retreated. Seeing that the defeat was out of control, Xia Wei led 500 remnants of the army to flee east to Sanshu. Seeing that Xia Wei's troops were defeated and fled, Sanshu immediately deployed troops to protect Xia Wei, and threatened to fight to the death with Shang Tang. Shang Tang and Yi Yin saw that Xia Wei had defected to Sanyu, and immediately waved eastward. The Shang army and the Sanshu army fought at Cheng'er, and as a result, the Shang army defeated the Sanshu army and seized the treasure jade and property of Sanshu. Xia Wei saw that Sanshu was destroyed by Shang Tang again, so he fled south with five hundred remnants.

Long Hui led the army to press, Xia Wei fled to Nanchao, and Long Hui chased after him; Xia Jiru also has today,

Who are you? Why do you keep chasing this king?

You still remember Xihe, you coveted the weapons in Xihe City, and even sent troops to destroy Xihe City, why did you have so many bronze weapons today, although the weapons are sharp, the belief that people who are good at fighting will not win.

Please, let me go this time?

Let you go, and I will kill you today.

Long Hui bent his bow and arrow, and an arrow pierced his throat, the hard-working people of Xihe City have avenged you today, and a line of tears couldn't help but slide down.

In order to completely eliminate the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, Shang Tang and Yi Yin led their armies westward and soon occupied the Xia capital. The noble ministers of the Xia Dynasty all expressed their willingness to submit to Shang Tang. After Shang Tang pacified the subjects of the Xia Dynasty, he held a ceremony to worship the heavens, indicating to the subjects of the Xia Dynasty that they were punishing the guilty Ji according to the will of the heavens, and officially announced the end of the Xia Dynasty. The first dynasty of slavery in Chinese history came to an end.
