Chapter 549: Admit defeat

Completely different from Deng Cui's erratic style, Huang Pugong always made detailed plans in advance, even down to what a ten-person squad should do, but unlike Chai Yue, who is good at mobilizing a huge army, Huang Pugong will go to the battlefield every time, and even charge in person, always followed by a group of brave and fearless subordinates, taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to directly attack the head of the enemy army.

The first battle after the stool land was easily won, Huang Pugong led the troops to charge forward, slashing the enemy generals, the soldiers of all countries were all shocked, and they no longer dared to think that they were equal to the Chu army.

But these people have a bottom line, whether it is Huang Pugong or the British king, it is difficult to break.

The maritime states refused to attack the interior, insisting on advancing along the coastline, both by land and water, with the capture of major ports as the first priority.

They only want to restore the business route, and have no intention of fighting the gods and ghosts.

Huang Pugong was not in a hurry, and decided to fight a few battles first, and wait for more soldiers to gather before making the next step.

Only the King of England was anxious, and the first city was very small, with a population of only a few thousand, and there was nothing unusual except for the peculiar costumes, which disappointed him.

In the second and third battles, the Chu army won one after another, Huang Pugong was like a sharp knife, stabbing to the end, never dragging mud and water, at most half an hour after the battle, he would charge, his eyesight was extremely accurate, and he could always choose the weakest side of the enemy, break through in one fell swoop, and pounce on the enemy general.

Just like a group of children climbing a tree, the lightest and most authoritative one always picks the highest fruit, Huang Pugong must personally cut off the flag every battle, destroy the prestige of the enemy army, and increase the morale of our army.

By this time, the armies of the various countries had already respected Huang Pugong like a god, and if he said that he would attack the interior, no one would oppose it.

But Huang Pugong was still not in a hurry, and continued to advance along the coast, he was waiting for a better time.

A month after the landing, an army arrived, not to challenge, but to unite.

The other general, who claimed to be the king of Lahes, actually took out the canonization document and the royal seal of the Great Chu Emperor, and immediately won the trust of Huang Pugong.

The armies of the Western countries have already returned to China, and when they accepted the emperor's division on the snow-capped mountains, they promised very well, saying that they would jointly fight against the gods and ghosts, and as soon as they entered the borders of various countries, they immediately fell apart, and new and old grudges were revealed.

The various countries are closed to themselves, some of them are in secret with the gods and ghosts, and only a few countries can maintain unity and dare to openly oppose their former masters.

King Lachs was the leader of these nations.

He did not hide the current situation at all, and with the help of an interpreter, he said: "We have always been like this here, divided and united, occasionally united and soon divided, and we do not forget to fight each other when we are in danger. In the past, there were seven kings in charge, which was better, but now that the seven kings have been killed, in order to compete for their name, everyone has fought harder. It is not without reason that the West is a land of wealth and famous cities, but it is ruled by foreign people. ”

Huang Pugong didn't care about these things, and only asked how many soldiers King Lahes had brought.

"30,000 people, if the general goes north, in the name of the Great Chu Emperor, he can recruit more soldiers."

King Ying interjected: "The Son of Great Chu is here, I am." ”

The interpreter glanced at the King of England and did not convey this sentence, and the King of England said dissatisfiedly: "Tell King Lahes that I am the youngest son of Emperor Wu and the real Emperor of Great Chu." ”

The interpreter looked at Huang Pugong.

"King Ying is indeed the youngest son of Emperor Wu."

The interpreter said a few words, and the king listened, but he didn't understand a word, and asked, "Do you say that I am the emperor?" ”

The translator said: "King Lahes said that the Western countries did not know who Emperor Wu was, and they only recognized one emperor, that is, the one who divided the kings on the snow-capped mountains, and they called them 'Emperor Ruzi'. ”

King Ying was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "How can Da Chu have the title of 'Emperor Ruzi'?" The son is a tired marquis's nickname, how can it be used as an emperor's name? Even if it is a nickname, it will not be until after death. ”

The interpreter replied directly: "We don't understand these rules of Great Chu, we only know that the Son of Heaven of Great Chu is the 'Emperor of Ruzi'." We heard that there was a Chu army on the sea, so we rushed to defect, hoping to fight against the gods and ghosts together, if you are not the army of Emperor Ruzi, then we are looking for the wrong person, and we will leave immediately. ”

The King of England was red-faced, "You are just a translator, you can't be the master." ”

The interpreter said a few words to King Lachs, who stood up and spoke a few words passionately and generously, saying, "The king said, in this case, we will take our leave, and we will meet on the battlefield in the future." ”

Huang Pugong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are indeed the Great Chu army, and we have the emperor's holy decree." King Ying is indeed the son of Emperor Wu, he is young and speaks inappropriately, don't blame. ”

The king's face turned even redder, but the other party was fierce, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat there and lowered his head and muttered quietly.

The two armies united, and Huang Pugong had enough troops, so he decided to go inland, leaving only a few men to guard the ship.

Outside a large city, the Chu army encountered a large number of enemy troops, and each side occupied a favorable position, separated by dozens of miles.

Huang Pu had few soldiers, and he was not in a hurry to go to war, so he dug deep trenches, built walls and fortified them, and asked King Lahes to send people to the countries of the four directions, and in the name of the Great Chu general, he ordered all countries to send troops to participate in the war.

The enemy army did not attack immediately, but sent a messenger with a letter claiming that they had important hostages in their hands and ordering the Chu army to surrender immediately.

"King of the East Sea?" After listening to the interpreter's letter, the king was shocked, "He is also here!" Is...... I thought I was the only one who could run this far. ”

King Lahes knew a little bit about the inside story, "The Great Chu Emperor said that if the Western countries give birth to the King of the East China Sea, they must treat each other with courtesy and send them back to Great Chu as soon as possible. ”

The king didn't say anything, and when the guests left, he said to Huang Pu: "The tired marquis obviously wants the king of the East China Sea to die, but it's just hard to say it clearly." This is troublesome, if we don't save the king of the East China Sea, we will be tired, if we save him, we can't surrender. ”

Huang Pugong only regarded the king as a child and a name, and didn't care much about his opinion, "It's not troublesome, just do what you have to do." ”

"How?" The King asked curiously.

Huang Pugong did not answer, and an hour later, he summoned the generals of all countries, sent envoys to meet the enemy generals, and announced his reply in public: "The king of the East China Sea is the younger brother of the great Chu Emperor, and his status is noble, after the war, if he is alive, the Chu army will pardon the lives of 100 enemy generals, and if he is killed, he will be buried with 100 enemy generals and 10,000 soldiers." Don't talk about it, five days later, in the morning, the decisive battle. ”

Huang Pugong is known for his slashing generals, and his threat carries a lot of weight.

The armies of various countries arrived one after another, more or less in number, all of them watched the battle from afar, secretly communicating with the generals of both sides at the same time, and preparing to step on two boats.

This is a real big battle, although the enemy army is not the main force of the gods and ghosts, but the strength is superior, and there is the city as the backing, the chance of victory is greater, and the coalition side relies on thousands of Chu troops, especially Huang Pugong himself.

The battle began as scheduled, Huang Pugong sent almost all the troops, leaving only more than 1,000 cavalry, he waited a little longer this time, a full hour later, before starting his signature charge, obliquely entering the battlefield from a corner, suddenly changing direction in the middle, and rushing straight to the enemy's position.

Before the war, Huang Pugong had given an order to the armies of the countries watching the battle, enter at noon, and those who arrived later were beheaded, and it was less than half an hour before noon, and no army had participated in the battle.

Huang Pugong's style of play is not unusual, the enemy has heard about it for a long time, and is ready, and many soldiers are protecting their generals layer upon layer.

But they still underestimated the ferocity of Huang Pugong and the group of pirate soldiers under his command, who were like sharks in the water, interspersing between the fish, separating the fish, and swallowing them in one bite.

The enemy soldiers took a defensive position, and Huang Pugong was in the middle of it, he always charged diagonally, and after the corner of the conflict, he reflexively surrounded the corner with fewer people and quickly annihilated it.

Ordinary generals did not dare to do this, because it meant exposing their backs to the enemy army, Huang Pugong dared, and he was known for this, the more daring he was, the more cautious the enemy army became, shrinking his position in order to protect himself.

Huang Pugong was still a robber in his bones, and through several letters and various performances of the enemy, he saw the timidity of the other party, so he dared to give it a go.

Around noon, the armies of all the countries watching the battle finally entered the battlefield, and without exception, they all sided with the Chu army.

The battle lasted until the evening, when the enemy army was so defeated that they did not even want the city, and fled one after another.

Huang Pugong fulfilled his promise and listed 100 enemy generals under the city, claiming that he would not see the king of the East China Sea within an hour, and that he would kill the enemy generals first, and then pit 10,000 soldiers.

Only half an hour later, the gates of the city were opened, and the king of the East Sea was sent out.

The King of the East China Sea never expected that he would survive, and he was rescued by Huang Pugong, let alone see King Ying in the tent of the Chu army.

The King of England has grown taller and grown a lot, but his appearance can still be recognized, and the King of the East China Sea was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, "You, are you really the King of England?" ”

"Isn't that me?" King Ying was very happy, "You said you would take me out to play, but now that you don't need to, I can play all over the world by myself." Also, you lost the battle for the throne, right? ”

"Lost."

"Then you admit that I am the emperor, right?"

The King of the East China Sea shook his head, "There is only one emperor, not you, not me." ”

The King of England was furious, "Why don't you all admit it? I am willing to gamble and lose. ”

The King of the East China Sea smiled: "You were taken away by robbers, how did you escape later?" ”

"I escaped anyway." The King was reluctant to elaborate.

"We have all been prisoners, you escaped, I was rescued, and the emperor has been in a similar danger, but he still became the emperor, no need to designate, no need to admit it. We all have the opportunity to become emperors, but there is only one winner, and the loser should accept his fate, not for anything else, just because we are all surnamed Han, and we are all descendants of Taizu. ”

The King of England was deflated, "You are my nephew, but you bullied me for my young age. ”

Huang Pugong won a great victory, but the army refused to follow him to continue to advance, the sea countries felt that it was not beneficial to fight any longer, the western countries still had different intentions, and the soldiers of the Chu army were mostly pirates, and they grabbed a lot of loot along the way, and they also had the heart to return.

Huang Pugong understood that with his own army alone, he would not be able to compete with the gods and ghosts in the end, and it was said that the Great Chu would send a large army in the future, so he decided to retreat, occupy the coast first, and then join forces with the Chu army.

The king of the East China Sea also wanted to return to Dachu, but the land route was blocked, so he had to follow the army south.

Huang Pugong led the maritime states to continue to capture the coastal cities, connecting them together, building a large number of ships, which could be attacked or retreated.

There is a port that voluntarily surrendered, and its strange name translates into Chu for "city without a heart", and there is a statue of a god in the city, whose deeds are recorded in many languages.

Chu sent Deng Cui's body here, molded into a golden body, and became a statue of a god facing the sea.

In a short passage of Chu text, he is called "the greatest general under the account of the Emperor of Great Chu".

It was after reading this text that the King of England finally gave up his ambition to be emperor, and sighed: "I thought I had gone far enough, but the reputation of the Tired Marquis had already taken a step ahead, well, he won." ”

The King of the East Sea was sent onto a large ship and slowly sailed towards his hometown, and he had many things to say to the emperor, and there were many things that he would never want to say.
