Chapter 297: Trident
It is rumored that the origin of this trident is still in the ancient Indian era at that time.
It is said that in that year, there was a king in ancient India, and the king had two princes under his knees, one of whom was called an eagle and the other was called a halberd.
The Eagle Prince was born to the king and is considered orthodox, but he has a bad heart, and he has worked hard all day for the throne to become the real heir.
Although the prince of the halberd was not born to the king, but the prince of the halberd came to the baby that the king saw on the road when he was fighting on the battlefield, it was strange to say, the baby cried on the road for many days, and the king was also curious, why was the cry of the baby always accompanied by the march all the way?
Moreover, the baby's cry also made the hearts of everyone in the army tremble, and the baby's cry was heard for no reason, would this be an unlucky sign, and would it damage the morale of the army?
Immediately, the king sent someone to find the source, so that the baby must be found.
Finally, thirty miles east of the military tent, found a little baby who was only a month old, and the sergeants who were looking for the baby looked at the baby when their whole body was glowing with gold, and thought that the god had descended to earth, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the god, but when they walked over, they found that it was not a god but a baby.
Originally, according to the orders of the king's generals, that is, after finding the baby, it must be put to death immediately, so that the cry would not continue and affect the march of the army, and this time it was the king's own expedition, and it was necessary to defeat the enemy army to encourage the morale of the army.
But the soldiers saw that the baby was covered with golden light, and thought that it must not be an ordinary child, and feared that if he really killed him, he would be punished by heaven, and they did not dare to make an opinion, so they took the baby back to the king.
The baby had been crying every day, but when the warlord brought it to the king, the little baby was strangely said that it grinned and ceased abruptly.
This is strange, the child cries incessantly in the arms of other sergeants, but once he is in the arms of the king, the crying stops instantly, and he grins at the king.
Originally, the generals on the scene suggested that the king should kill this child, but the king also liked this child very much, which Cheng thought that the king, who had killed countless people on the battlefield, also had good intentions, not only did not order the baby to be killed, but also adopted it and gave it the name halberd.
Later, the king won another battle, and when he came back, he saw the halberd lying there and laughed vigorously, and the king was very happy, and thought that this victory was the good luck brought by the halberd, so he made the halberd a prince, that is, the prince of the halberd, and regarded it as his own.
As time passed, the king who returned to the palace fell ill and died, but instead of passing the throne to his son, Prince Eagle, he issued an edict to let Queen Byte preside over the affairs first, let the two sons grow up, teach them knowledge during this period, and let them compete when they are both eighteen years old, and whoever wins will be the king.
In the past eighteen years, the two princes have studied diligently, both in military talent and cultural knowledge, and they are very favored by the ministers below.
In the blink of an eye, the date of the contest came, and according to the king's edict, the queen ordered a contest to be contested in three aspects: personal martial arts ability, literary ability and sergeant ability, of course, among them, the queen wanted to see their personal talents.
Although this is not stipulated in the scope of the competition, but this is the most important thing, the king of a country, the most important thing is talent, you don't have much military talent, there are generals and soldiers to fight below, you don't have literary talent, and the scholars below will govern the country for you.
But if you don't have talent, then no matter how good a country is, it will be ruined by you.
The competition between the two princes came as scheduled, and on this day, the sky was windy and sunny, and it was auspicious. The two princes also began to despise it, but whether it was literary knowledge or personal martial arts ability, the two princes were equal after the competition.
According to the edict of the old king, there must be a superiority between two people, and one of them must win to decide who is the king.
It's not easy for the two of them to decide like this.
But at this time, all of a sudden, there was a border pass emergency, the enemy country eighteen years ago, this time the king personally led an army of 100,000 to conquer in person, saying that it was necessary to destroy the country, slaughter its city, Ling its daughter, and wash the blood pool of eighteen years ago.
All of a sudden, the whole country was in a panic, and the 100,000 troops were prepared, which was not easy to deal with.
In the end, the queen was not in chaos, and with a whole morale, she decided to personally lead the army to snipe, and the two princes were the generals below.
But when they reached the border pass, they found that the other party was not easy to deal with, the 100,000 army, as far as the eye could see, all the people were pressing, each of them made strange screams, and the bloodthirsty eyes were even more terrifying, whether they could hold this pass was very important, but it determined the life and death of a country.
When discussing what tactics to use to defend against the enemy, the whole army was divided into two factions at this time, one was the side of the Eagle Prince, that is, it decided to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, to strike first and attack him unprepared; The other faction is the side of the halberd prince, this halberd prince has always studied everything, and he has thought hard, for so many years, he knows that the enemy country is ambitious, and he has suffered defeat that year, and sooner or later he will get sick and start a war again, so he studied a set of tactics, that is, the trident formation.
This is this trident formation can be described as powerful, it is the halberd prince according to the weapon trident research, the appearance is indeed the appearance of the trident, the inside and outside are divided into mountain layers, can be attacked and retreated, can be defended, can be described as a sharp weapon on the battlefield, and the trident is the same.
But the Eagle Prince is also a capable person, and when he saw the Halberd Prince using the formation, he put forward his own suggestion, that is, to use the Eagle Formation.
This eagle formation is also not simple, this eagle prince has studied the eagle flying high in the sky since he was a child, and his name is the same, he especially likes eagles, so according to the habit of eagles attacking prey on the ground, he has also studied a set of tactics, and he is also free to advance and retreat.
Seeing such a stalemate, the queen finally had no choice, and decided to let the two princes divide their troops and set up two ways to defend against the enemy, and she personally threw down the army and plundered the formation, if which prince took the lead in breaking through the enemy army and beheading its king, then who would be the new king.
This method is undoubtedly the best, and the time has come to witness the power of the two princes.
According to the plan, the Eagle Prince used his own Eagle Formation, and the Halberd Prince used his own Trident Formation, and finally fought the enemy army. All of a sudden, no less than 200,000 people on both sides fought together, and such a big war was rare in ancient and modern times, not to mention in the era of cold weapons.
In a big battle, after fighting for several days and nights, your eagle prince was extremely brave, driving a chariot among the enemy troops, and no enemy soldiers survived everywhere he went, which can be described as a river of blood.
But the prince of the halberd is different, although his trident is also a sharp weapon, but it is not as powerful as the eagle prince, and the merit is to behead the enemy, but to use the trident to surround the enemy army if it can, and let its head surrender.
Together, the two princes led their armies into the tent of the enemy king.
In this place, although the enemy army has become defeated and retreat, victory is imminent, but this is undoubtedly the most cruel time, everyone wants to kill the enemy king in order to compete for the throne of the king.
So here, after a few days and nights of fighting, the corpses, those heads were rolling everywhere, the blood was flowing all over the land, and the sky was full of blood.
To say that the king of the enemy country is really not jealous, the soldiers rushed up and were killed by him one by one, and in the end, in desperation, the two princes could only go into battle in person, and the king duel, hundreds of rounds did not distinguish the superiority, but at this time, the eagle prince was obviously physically exhausted, and almost lost his life under the heavy blow of the enemy king.
The halberd prince saw that his brother was in danger, although they were opponents politically, but on this battlefield they were backs, the halberd prince couldn't care so much, completely ignoring his own danger, and threw down the enemy king with a sharp jump, saving the prince of sound while his whole body was wounded.
But at this time, the eagle prince was full of thoughts about cutting off the head of the enemy king, completely ignoring that the halberd prince had fallen into a heavy siege, and killed the imperial king, and finally cut off the head of the imperial king, but this scene was clearly seen by the queen who watched the battle.
It is certainly worth celebrating and celebrating with the people when the army finally collects the army and defeats the enemy country, but the national affairs are still in front of us, and it is up to the queen to make a decision on who is the king.
In the scenes on the battlefield, the queen can see clearly, she knows very well who is the real king among the two princes, even if the eagle prince is her own son, but the old king's edict is in front of her, she can't help it, and for the sake of the country, she can't do it for her own selfish interests.
Finally, when the Eagle Prince thinks that he is the king, the queen declares that the Eagle Prince is the great general, and the Halberd Prince is the king, and also tells the reason, so that the Eagle Prince can not say another word to refute it.
Since then, the prince of the halberd has become the king, but the prince of the eagle is not good at stubble, in his opinion, he is the king's biological son, only he is qualified to be the king, and on the battlefield he also killed the king of the enemy country with his own hands, repelled the enemy army, and became a general, he was unwilling.
