Chapter 3 The Jade is Burned
Fan Li shouted loudly: "Wu Xiangguo, do it, if you want to get close to King Yue, knock me down first." ”
Fan Li knew that although Wu Zixu was older than himself, his bravery was known to the world. Thinking about the Eighteen Kingdoms Lintong Doubao back then, Wu Zixu tried his best to lift a thousand catties, which convinced all the heroes in the world.
Today's battle with Wu Zixu can only be outwitted and invincible. The goal of the war is not to win, but to get rid of it.
At this time, Wu Zixu urged the jujube red horse and stabbed Fan Li in the chest with a spear.
The spear is a heavy weapon, and Wu Zixu's strength and courage are unstoppable. Fan Li's long sword weighs only a few catties, and it is known for its lightness and agility, but it is difficult to touch the spear.
At this time, the cleverness and shrewdness of the original owner came into play. Fan Li shook the reins, and the horse rushed forward. When the spear was less than a foot away from his chest, he suddenly turned sideways, avoiding the edge, and at the same time, the long sword put on the spear, and followed the direction of the spear with force, only to hear the sound of "waves", and the spear was knocked out of the circle.
Two horses staggered. The long sword was light and flexible, and when the two horses were wrong, Fan Li's sword blade fell and slashed at Wu Zixu's horse leg. If this sword is cut solidly, the horse will inevitably fall to the ground, and Wu Zixu will fall off the horse.
Wu Zixu is worthy of being a famous general, not only brave, but also far beyond ordinary people. Seeing Fan Li's sudden sneak attack, he didn't panic, and his left foot suddenly kicked out, kicking at the side of Fan Li's sword.
Fan Li suddenly felt a strong collision, and the long sword in his hand couldn't help but draw half a circle upwards and backwards downwards, and almost flew out of his hand. And that strong force did not stop, and kept hitting his chest, only to feel that he was churning inside, and a mouthful of blood was about to blurt out.
Fan Li was taken aback, knowing that Wu Zixu was powerful, and there would be no good result if he continued to fight. secretly screamed: "I'm ashamed, I didn't let it slip away!" ”
With a wave of his hand, hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers took bows and opened arrows, and the flying arrows flew towards Wu Zixu like locusts. Wu Zixu put down his spear, drew his sword, and danced into a sword net, and all the flying feather arrows were knocked down.
Fan Li saw that King Yue had already rushed out of the battle group as soon as he saw the protection of the cultural species. Shout: "Withdraw!" ”。 Lead the remnants of the army to run towards Huiji Mountain.
At this time, night fell, Wu Zixu was about to catch up, and suddenly heard the sound of cymbals in the formation, which was the signal of the truce, the so-called "Mingjin withdraws the troops." ”
Wu Zixu looked at Fan Li's back and sighed secretly: "Young uncle! I'm afraid it will end up being a big disaster for the Wu country. ”
So he stopped chasing, reorganized his troops and horses, and set up camp.
Fan Li led the men and horses to catch up with the king of Yue, and together with Wen Chong, he protected the king of Yue and slowly retreated.
As the red sun sets, the sky darkens and the night grows darker.
Fan Li commanded the soldiers to do a good job of defending the city. Back to King Yue.
Fan Li and the ministers accompanied the king of Yue to stand on the city tower, looking at the battlefield that stretched to the horizon.
There were also earth-shattering shouts and the clashing of swords and soldiers in the battlefield. The battle there is not over.
Retreating in a hurry, the order was not communicated to every soldier, many soldiers received an order to retreat, but were surrounded and could not retreat.
There is only one way for these Vietnamese soldiers who fell into the Wu army's formation, and that is to continue fighting until they die in battle.
Tens of thousands of people are fighting. The Vietnamese soldiers are brave and strong, no one surrenders, tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops will fight until the last man!
This shocked Fan Li, who had just crossed over, that the cold weapon war was so tragic.
After most of the hour, the shouting and killing stopped, which meant that all the Vietnamese soldiers trapped in the Wu array had been killed. The only remaining tens of thousands of horses in the Yue Kingdom were wiped out in this way.
The ministers surrounded Gou Jian, and no one spoke. Looking at the Wu Bing camp from afar, the lights are lit, like a sky full of stars, extending to the sky. The evening breeze blew, and the smell of blood wafted through.
Fan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there would be no battle in the future.
What made him feel a little relieved was that King Yue was still alive, and as long as King Yue was alive, it would be a victory, a victory in defeat. He can't save the defeat, and he can't let the Yue Kingdom escape the fate of destruction. That's not his business. What he has to do is to protect the king of Yue and make the kingdom of Yue rise again in the next twenty years.
Wen Chong stepped forward, bowed down and said, "King, please go back to the palace to rest, the affairs of the army, the ministers will arrange it." ”
King Yue didn't answer, was silent for a while, and said, "Young uncle, how many soldiers and horses do we have?" ”
Fan Li said: "Back to the king, just now the preliminary count, we still have 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”
King Yue sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Five thousand soldiers and horses, how can you resist the more than 100,000 troops of the Wu army?" Young uncle, the widow regrets not listening to your advice in the first place. The country of Yue has come to this day, and it is the fault of one person. ”
When the ministers heard this, they knelt down together: "The ministers are incompetent, the ministers should die!" ”
Fan Li also knelt down, he was a little unaccustomed to it, and he had to kneel and kowtow when he said a word, which was really annoying. But the original owner's memories told him that these were rituals, and if he wanted to get along in this world, he had to follow them.
Fan Li prostrated himself and said, "The king does not have to blame himself. It is God who wants to cross the country and suffer this calamity. This is already the case, what is the king's next step? ”
King Yue bowed his waist slightly, and said heavily: "All the secretaries, please get up quickly." It's already like this, what else can you do? ”
After a slight pause, King Yue drew his sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to let my husband get nothing." Come with me. With that, he took his sword and strode towards the palace. The retainers followed.
The forbidden guards of the palace were all sent out by Queen Yayu to fight, and there was no sound in the palace, and everyone followed King Yue through the main hall and went straight to the inner courtyard.
I don't know what King Yue will do next. Fan Li was uneasy in his heart.
There were still lights in the inner courtyard, and when Queen Yayu heard that the king had returned, she hurriedly came out to greet him: "The concubine welcomes the king's return." ”
When Gou Jian saw Yayu, he looked sad, and said in a trembling voice: "Get up, queen, the Yue Kingdom is going to perish, and you and I don't have to make this big gift again." ”
Yayu shed tears: "King, the heavens destroy the Yue, and it is difficult for manpower to disobey. However, a breath remains, and the great gifts of the monarch and ministers cannot be abolished. ”
Gou Jian said in a trembling voice: "Are you okay here?" ”
Yayu got up and said sadly: "There have been ten palace maids who were unwilling to be defeated and humiliated, and committed suicide and martyrdom. ”
Gou Jian sighed and said: "It's rare for the concubines to be so chaste. Queen, my Yue country was defeated, the society was not guaranteed, the temple was destroyed, and the concubines were rare to complete the jade, how should it be good? ”
Fan Li understood, didn't King Yue let Queen Yayu die?
Of course, Yayu also knew what King Yue meant, and replied with tears: "The concubine understands the king's meaning, the country is broken, how can the concubines and others be defiled, and the concubines will lead the palace people to die calmly and innocently." ”
Gou Jian said bitterly: "The fault of the widow is also. The queen will go first, and the widow will die tomorrow, and she will go underground to accompany you. ”
Yayu smiled sadly, "King, don't say goodbye, Yayu goes!" Then he drew his sword and put it around his neck.
When Fan Li saw it, he was shocked, and as soon as the queen died, she had nothing to play, so she hurriedly shouted: "The queen can't!" Hurriedly knelt in front of King Goujian and Queen Yayu.
Wen Chong waved his hand, and the ministers also knelt down in front of King Yue, shouting: "King-"
Gou Jian bowed down and said, "All the secretaries, please get up,"
Fan Li said in a loud voice: "Please put down the sword." ”
King Yue's voice was very calm, and he said, "Everyone get up." There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in our country, and it is difficult to resist the army of Wu, and the destruction of the country has become an iron case. The widow is incompetent, but he must not be humiliated. ”
Turning his face to Yayu, he said, "Queen, don't be in a hurry to cut yourself, you first gather all the people in the harem in the inner courtyard, and stand in a row of twenty people." ”
Yayu said, "The concubine will do it." ”
Yayu ran away, and with an order, hundreds of concubines and palace maids gathered in the inner courtyard.
Gou Jian said: "Where is the captain of the forbidden army? Go and bring in 300 soldiers. ”
King Yue, what is this going to do? At this time, Fan Li suddenly felt that the matter was much more serious than he imagined, and he had to deal with not only Wu Guo, but also to appease the Yue Wang and his wife. He must do everything he can to stop King Yue from coming back.
After a while, three hundred soldiers ran into the palace and stood by.
Gou Jian said to the soldiers, "Wait until you stand behind the palace maids, wait for my order, kill them all, then open the palace warehouse, move all the treasures that can be burned to the courtyard and burn them, and smash and destroy everything that cannot be burned, throw them into the river, and finally set fire to the palace." Then return to the team and inform everyone, eat and sleep well tonight, and fight to the death with Wu Jun tomorrow! ”
This is the rhythm of the fish dying and the net is broken. King Yue must be stopped from doing so. Fan Li didn't have time to think about it, took a step forward, knelt down in front of King Yue, and said loudly: "The king is slow, the minister has something to say!" ”
