Chapter 80: Ying Xiaoyou dies
In the seventh month of Meng Qiu, Kou Shengqin led 100,000 soldiers to attack Xu State.
At that time, Ying Xiaoyou served as the commander, and his grandson was the deputy commander, and he went north to join the allies of Van Xu, the 100,000 troops of the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Lu Yin.
The three kingdoms combined with a total of 300,000 troops marched into the state of Xu, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo.
First, he captured Xu Tian, which was adjacent to the capital of Xu State, and established the first powerful bridgehead for the complete capture of Xu State.
Taking advantage of this morale boost, he made a big move, so that 300,000 troops arrived at the capital of Xu on Gengchen Day, and the entire capital of Xu was surrounded by water.
This move undoubtedly directly choked Xu Guo's neck.
However, after the generals of the three kingdoms took turns to persuade them to surrender for two days without success, the army began to attack the city with catapults on the noon day, resulting in heavy casualties to the defending Xu army.
However, Jiang Fu, the king of Xu State, was very stubborn, knowing that he was outnumbered, but he was still unwilling to surrender, so he sent Xu Guo's war general Xu Xiu to meet the enemy.
Therefore, when the army of the Three Kingdoms confronted the Xu army, I followed him closely behind him in accordance with what my former grandson had repeatedly emphasized, and never took half a step away from him.
At this time, the grandson of the grandson had to take care of slashing and killing Xu Guobing who was constantly rushing forward, and on the other hand, he had to protect me firmly behind him, which was really difficult.
I couldn't bear to look at him like this, but when I raised the long sword he gave me for self-defense several times in order not to drag him down, trying to lighten the burden I had brought to him, my grandson always glared back at me as if he could sense it.
I hid behind him and froze, remembering what he had said before he handed me the sword...
"Remember, this sword is only used for self-defense, and you can't kill people unless you have to!"
I slumped limply on a hanging chair, laughing and trembling, "Did I hear me right, Gongsun?" How can you, as a general, say such naΓ―ve things? How can there be a reason to go to the battlefield without blood on ten fingers? Or do you think of me as some kind of loving person, afraid that I will be soft-hearted on the battlefield? If that's the case, don't worry, I can protect myself with this sword! β
I confidently held the sword tightly in my hand, but my grandson gently held my hand, and there was an indissoluble melancholy between my eyebrows, "Sultan, I am destined to be a warrior in this life, and my hands are destined to be stained with blood, besides, I have killed too many people in my life, and I am already covered in karma, but you are different, you don't know the dangers of the battlefield when you first enter the battlefield, I don't want you to become a person like me." β
"First time on the battlefield..."I muttered, recalling the scene when I was in Fengcheng, and then smiled wryly, "But I don't want to be a burden to you!" Besides, I practiced martial arts hard just so that one day I could kill a few more barbarians and rescue Zhongli as soon as possible. β
"Listen to me," Gongzi carefully held my cheek, his eyes full of sincerity, "Don't worry, I will help you achieve what you expect, even if I do everything I can, but I hope you can listen to me, the battlefield is dangerous, for the sake of safety, you will hide behind me, you can't leave me half a step, if someone attacks him from behind, you can use the sword to hurt him, but if you want to die, you must let me come." β
Do you have to let him come?
That sentence is still in my ears.
I stared blankly at the side faces of my grandsons who were already red with blood, with a strong sense of slaughter.
As the halberd in his hand fell, he cut off one head after another, and those who fell at his feet were constantly flowing blood from their bodies, dyeing the earth under the capital of Xu Guo into an extremely dazzling red.
Gongsun Zidu's right hand seemed to wield a halberd tirelessly, and his left hand pulled me tightly, leading me to step on the quietly flowing blood.
When I looked at his armor, which I couldn't distinguish the color of, I suddenly felt a sudden movement in my heart, thinking of Zhongli... When the city was broken, did the generals of the Chu State also slaughter Zhongli's soldiers like this? The hand rises and falls, like slaughtering a cow, sheep, pig and dog...
At this time, a breeze was blowing, and I smelled the thick smell of blood in the air, and I only felt that my internal organs were suddenly churning, and I was very disgusting.
Then the heart seemed to have been dug alive in an instant, and a biting cold wind was pouring into it.
The suffocating pain made me feel inexplicably dizzy on the top of my head... Immediately, his footsteps unconsciously slowed down for half a minute.
My grandson noticed my abnormality, turned to look at me with concern and asked, "What's wrong?" β
At this time, I looked behind him, and realized that the Xu Guobing who were still pouring under the city gate had almost been completely wiped out.
There are only a few soldiers left, and there is Xu Guozhan with a red cloak on his back, who will be sandwiched between Dr. Zheng, Shuying and Ying Xiaoyou, one left and one right, and it looks like it has been a stalemate for a long time.
"Xu Xiu, the people you brought have all been wiped out by our Zheng Guoyong General, if you don't surrender, aren't you afraid of death?" Uncle Ying, who had a bearded face, scolded sharply.
That Xu Xiu raised his head and laughed, glared at Uncle Ying and said fiercely, "Afraid of death? Have you ever seen a person who licks blood from a knife is afraid of death? It's a joke! If you want to kill, you will kill, where is so much nonsense. β
"You!" Uncle Flawed is extremely angry.
Ying Xiaoyou took the opportunity to take over and said, "General Xu, I respect you for your bravery, it's a pity to stay by the side of the arbitrary Jiang Fu, at this time, there is an opportunity in front of you to consider it." β
Xu Xiu narrowed his eyes, and Ying Xiaoyou hurriedly continued, "I want to be a great country in Zheng Guo, it is precisely because the king appreciates the talents of such pillars as the general that I can have today, and the general is now not willing to die for an unworthy monarch, it is better to devote himself to the command of the Ming Lord, I believe that the king will definitely treat him with courtesy." β
"Thank you Brother Ren for your kindness," Xu Xiu's rough face lifted relaxed, "Although Xu Xiu has little reading, he finally knows the truth that one horse is not a double saddle, and loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, I Xu Xiu is a rough person, and leading troops to fight depends on your courage to live and die, and today's defeat in the hands of Zheng Guo is also my fate, and I have no regrets and no regrets, and I don't need to persuade Brother Ren." β
After hearing him say this, Ying Xiaoyou shook his head and sighed.
However, Uncle Ying looked hideous, pointed his long sword at Xu Xiu's face, and said fiercely, "Filial piety is still less nonsense with him, and it is a miracle that such an ignorant person kills him and takes him down and brings him back to Zheng Guo." β
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Ying had already raised his sword and slashed forward.
But Xu Xiu just dodged easily, and in the next second, he took the initiative to meet another bronze sword...
"Poof." There was a muffled sound in the air.
Before Ying Xiaoyou could react, the bronze sword in his hand suddenly sank with something.
Looking down again, Ying Xiaoyou was now Xu Xiu in a pool of blood, and it was his bronze sword that was stuck in his chest.
"General Xu!" Ying Xiaoyou, who was originally going to rebel against him, was shocked.
Xu Xiu vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and smiled with great peace of mind in the pool of blood, "I know that Xu Guoqi is about to run out, so the ending is good for me." β
"General Xu." Ying Xiaoyou called again.
Xu Xiu slowly put his hand on the bronze sword, and then his eyes were ruthless...
The sword body completely pierced his heart, Xu Xiu spit out a few mouthfuls of dark red blood, and his pupils finally dilated little by little in the painful struggle, and his body in a pool of blood no longer moved.
"That's great!" Uncle Ying smiled openly, raised the long sword in his hand and approached Xu Xiu's body, "Wait for me to cut off his rank, bring it back to Zheng Guocheng and present it to the king, so that the king can also see my Zheng Guomeng's bravery in Xu Guo!" β
After that, he's going to do it.
"Wait!" Ying Xiaoyou stood in front of Uncle Ying, and said with a solemn face, "Although General Xu is dead, his body can no longer be humiliated." β
"What does filial piety mean?" Uncle Ying narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you have any pity for this thief?" β
Ying Xiaoyou was slightly stunned for a while, and did not answer him, but waved his hand to Zheng Guobing behind him, "You guys will carry General Xu down and bury him properly." β
Several Zheng Guo's soldiers received the order, but Uncle Ying was furious, "Ying Xiaoyou, didn't you treat the enemy generals so kindly, didn't it make Zheng Guo's soldiers feel cold?" β
Ying Xiaoyou still didn't answer him immediately, turned around and held the banner of the candalsa arc in his hand, and walked towards the city without avoiding the sword.
After walking for a long time, he was almost at the head of the city before he smiled at Uncle Ying, who was reluctant to follow behind him, "Loyal generals are rare, and they are gone, so what do you care about so much?" Besides, King Kuanren, even if he is here today, I believe he will do the same as me! β
"Uncle Yingkao! You're stubborn! Uncle Ying flicked his sleeves angrily and said bitterly, "Do you know that the king and Duke Lu Yin of Qi have made an agreement, and whoever captures the capital of Xu first will have the right to divide the territory of Xu State?" At this time, the form is so tense, as the commander of Zheng Guo, you still have the time to manage the enemy's generals, is it too dereliction of duty! β
Uncle Yingkao's face did not change, and he said, "As the coach, I never thought about dividing the territory of Xu Guo, and this kind of permission is just to convince Xu Guo, so that he will submit to my Zheng State." β
Uncle Ying blew his beard and glared at him when he heard the words.
Uncle Yingkao continued to walk towards the city by himself, but he didn't see the cruelty and viciousness in Uncle Ying's eyes.
Therefore, when he was about to plant the banner of the cantadal arc on the city wall, Uncle Ying exchanged gestures with one of the soldiers below.
Then, in everyone's sight, they only saw a cold arrow slashing through the sky, straight towards Yingxiaoyou on the head of the city...
Then I heard a miserable whisper, and a figure dressed in the uniform of a general of Zheng Guo fell from the top of the city and fell in front of me and my grandson.
Who is this?
I looked at it, and my heart suddenly missed a few beats, and the person in front of me who was covered with blood on his face and had a feather arrow in his chest was not Zheng Guo's coach Ying Xiaoyou!
"Ying Xiaoyou!" Gong's grandson strode forward and supported Ying Xiaoyou's body, "What's going on?" β
Ying Xiaoyou raised his eyelids weakly, the helplessness and pain under his eyes were unobstructed, and after a moment, his lips trembled and he spit out a few words, as if he was saying something.
"Be careful... Zhao Guo..."
But before he could finish speaking, his open mouth never closed again.
"Ying Xiaoyou!" The grandson shook Ying Xiaoyou's body, but except for the dark red blood that kept gushing out of the top of his head, Ying Xiaoyou's eyes that he couldn't close had lost all color, and the light was rapidly fading from those eyes, and there was no more life.
"Who did it?" Both the grandsons looked up.
Separated by a high and a low distance from the city wall, he met the cunning face of Fang Shuying.
Uncle Ying's gaze first avoided Gongsun Zidu, and after looking at Uncle Yingkao, who had passed away on the ground, he pretended to be resentful and stabbed the long sword in his hand into a soldier of Xu Guo who had been lying on the ground for a long time, and scolded angrily, "Damn Xu Guo thief, dare to sneak attack when my boss raises the flag, it's really damned!" Damn it! β
After saying two words that he should die, Uncle Ying stabbed the dead soldier a few times again as if he was angry, until his face was stained with blood, Fang looked at the bottom with a "heartbroken" face, and said in a lamented voice, "Filial piety, you can see clearly in the spirit of the sky, Shu Ying swears here, he will kill all the thieves and let them all be buried for you!" β
After that, Uncle Ying "cried sadly" for a while, and then got up and wiped her tears as if she remembered something, picked up the cantadal arc banner on the ground, climbed to the top of the city, and shouted to the crowded, "Jun Deng!" β
"Jun Deng!" Zheng Guo's soldiers happily raised the blood-stained blades in their hands and echoed warmly.
My grandson and I both looked at each other, and then looked at the blind Ying Xiaoyou, who was silent.
My heart is like knocking over old vinegar, sour.
