Chapter 173. The Great War of Don'ou
After hearing the information reported by Zhang Jiayang, Dongou Wang Zhenfu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after sending the prince to spy on the military situation, he kept pacing and wandering, and suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Jiayang and said: "I said envoy, how should this king face the army of this Minyue country, is there any good strategy?"

Zhang Jiayang saw that the king of Dongou was finally quiet, so he said directly: "Minyue attacked Dongou this time, but with the strength of the whole country, Dongou cannot be underestimated, if you fight in terms of strength, Dongou must not be an opponent, in order to be able to compete with Minyue, you should let the subjects of the whole city participate in defending the city, relying on the terrain advantage to fight against the Minyue army." β
"Yes, yes, yes," Dongou King Zhenfu agreed with Jia Yang's suggestion, and then instructed the attendant, "Inform all the generals and lead all the subjects to defend the Dongou City, and no one is allowed to leave the city without the king's order, otherwise the military law will serve." β
"No. β
The order was issued, the whole city was mobilized, everyone was armed, and after another three days, the prince province flew back from outside the city, staggered into the main hall and reported to the king of Dongou and said: "Father, the situation has been ascertained, the Minyue army has rushed here, and the vanguard will arrive at us about tomorrow, it seems that we have to fight to the death." β
At this time, Zhenfu, the king of Dongou had already passed the panic period after getting the news, and plucked up the courage to say: "Since they dare to come, we have to fight, prepare armored war horses, and this king will personally lead troops to fight to the death." β
"The father is brave, and the child will go and prepare, and together with the father, he will stop the enemy who is coming. β
"See, boy, there is a narrow strip five miles east of our city, and you and I will lay an ambush here today. β
"No. β
The army of Minyue country said that it arrived, not a day, the vanguard came to the eastern pass of Dongou country, without notification, Dongou Wang Zhenfu took command of the blocking force to eliminate it, there were a few lucky survivors to return to the commander's army to report, Minyue Wang Yingzheng was triumphant under the commander's banner, suddenly an embarrassed soldier ran to the horse and knelt down and bowed: "Report to the king, our vanguard has reached the first pass of the Dongou country, Dongou counterattack, the vanguard exploration force was all killed." β
When Wang Ying of Minyue heard the news, he jumped like thunder and said: "Wow, Zhenfu Xiaoer, who doesn't know the height of the sky, dares to counterattack my crusade army, and the vanguard troops obey the order and give me all the strength to advance and open the pass." β
"No. The herald took the order.
In less than an hour, the herald rushed to the king and said: "Report to the king, the vanguard troops have suffered heavy losses, and the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, please give instructions to the king." β
"Woo yes...... , I'm so angry with this king. When Wang Ying of Minyue got the news of the successive defeats, he patted his chest and calmed down, and then continued, "Quickly bring me the map." β
"No. β
The map was displayed in front of Wang Ying of Minyue, who looked left and right for a long time and shouted, "Liu Ju is here?"
"Report to the king, it has been urged by the rear army. β
"Where is the guide?"
"What do you command, my lord? The guide immediately walked to the front of King Ying, Minyue.
"What is the area in the east of Dongou and what is the situation in the south, tell me about it. β
"No, my lord, most of the east is the vast sea, and the south is a continuous series of mountains, and we must pass through this pass to reach the capital of Dongou Kingdom. β
"Well, it seems that Zhenfu is on guard. β
After a while, Liu Ju and Liu Xin rode their horses and said to the king of Minyue: "King, Liu Ju and Liu Xin came to obey orders. β
"Well, it's been hard all the way, come and see, our vanguard has encountered resistance and can't continue the attack, this king has checked the terrain, and this pass can't be passed. Then he showed the map in front of Liu Ju and Liu Xin.
Liu Ju looked at the map and then asked the guide: "This barren mountain in the south is difficult to navigate, we have already learned all the way south, but there should be a way to pass through the sea in the east, right?"
The guide suddenly patted his head and said: "This sentence reminds me that we don't usually have a tidal flat path leading to this seaside when we are fishing, but we must wait for the tide to recede before we can walk." β
"Hahaha, Dongou is in danger. Liu Ju said with a smile, "King, we can take advantage of the tide to recede and send strong soldiers to enter the tidal flats from the East China Sea, and outflank the defenders of the pass from the back road, and the pass can be obtained." β
"Wonderful, Zhenfu Xiao'er is waiting to die. Then Wang Ying, the king of Minyue, issued an order to personally supervise the army to take the tidal flats.
When Zhenfu, the king of Dongou was excited about the success of choosing a pass to block the Minyue army, suddenly a soldier ran to the front panting and said, "Big ...... Wang, big... Big... Wang, the big thing is not good, the Minyue army has already killed from the East China Sea to the boundary of the tidal flats, and has already circled to our rear. β
"Oh, it's not good, prepare the horse and raise the sword, this king will fight to the death. "Dongou Wang Zhenfu led the blocking army to return to the east beach to resist the enemy, the two armies met, they were very red-eyed, and they started a fight.
King Ying of Minyue saw that Zhenfu, the king of Donou, led a large army to block the attack, and shouted loudly: "Who can kill Zhenfu's child, a reward of a thousand gold." β
Dongou Wang Zhenfu was not to be outdone: "Whoever can seize the head of Yingxiang, this king will report to the emperor and be promoted to general." β
Instantly both sides were killed, less than half an hour there were casualties on all sides, when the battle was in full swing, Dongou Wang Zhenfu's war horse did not know whether it was tired or injured by the soldiers, the front leg bent and fell on the beach, Zhenfu was old, although the beach was wet and soft, but this fall was not light, if it was in peacetime training, it might be better to be recuperated by the medical officer, what is the situation at this time, the soldiers of the enemy who came to attack were staring at the Dongou commander, and when they saw Zhenfu fall off the horse, they all rushed up like a mad dog, and killed the Dongou soldiers who came to the rescue, and ten thousand knives were taken together, and Dongou Wang Zhenfu died in the chaosγ
"Oh no, the king has been killed. "The soldiers of Dongou Kingdom saw that the king was killed, and they were instantly defeated, and the Dongou Prince Province, which was fighting, was powerless when they saw this scene, and even the bones of their father were too late to clean up before leading the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Dongou City.
The army of Minyue took advantage of the situation to clear the defenders of the pass of Dongou State, and the army surrounded the capital of Dongou City, at this time Liu Ju showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and he kept mourning in his heart: "Father, brother, Liu Ju is going to avenge you today." β
In addition, Dongou Prince Province led the defeated army back to the city, ordered the soldiers to strictly guard the city, and then took out the father's clothes and clothes and put them in the coffin. β
"Wait, prince. The province looked at the voice and found that Zhang Jiayang appeared in front of him.
"Special envoy, you haven't left yet?" Wang Zi thought that as soon as the war started, unrelated personnel like Jia Yang should have slipped away a long time ago.
"Dongou is in a predicament, Jia Yang silently left in his heart, the provincial prince must strengthen his faith to solve the current predicament. β
"Hey, Dongou City is a small country and weak, and it has now been besieged by the Minyue army, in a few months, there will be a shortage of food and grass, and the soldiers defending the city will defeat themselves without a fight, what other good strategies can there be?"
"What the provincial prince said is true, Jia Yang thinks that it is time to find foreign aid. β
"Where is foreign aid?"
"Dongou belongs to the subject country of the Han Dynasty, and it should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, as soon as the Han army arrives, the Minyue army will retreat. β
"That's right, now under siege, I'm afraid that the reinforcements haven't arrived, we have broken the city, and who can break out of this siege and reach Chang'an. β
"The provincial prince is too worried, as long as the prince has the will to defend the city, Jia Yang is willing to go to Chang'an for a trip, and then tell the prince that these Minyue soldiers are all forcibly recruited, they must miss their relatives at home, if they send soldiers to shout on the city wall every day, they will definitely be able to dissipate the fighting spirit of the Minyue army and ensure that the capital city of Dongou is not broken. β
"Good, Zhang Huwei is the reborn parent of Dongou Kingdom, please be worshipped. β
"How dare you, how dare you, I will set off tonight, the torches on the high mountains in the north of the city are the number, if there are torches in the north of the city, it means that I have successfully broken through, please rest assured that the prince will bring the situation here to Chang'an, if there is no torch lit, please don't lose the fighting spirit of the provincial prince, and then send a strong martial artist to the north for help. β
"Okay, the envoy can still sacrifice his life to save Dongou by an outsider, and I will fight to the death. The provincial prince said that the plan was in full swing.
