Thirty-second year of Qin Shi Huang, October.

The land of Xiou, a valley where a stream flows

Rows of tall wooden stakes nailed dozens of rotting skulls unrecognizable, and a stench in the air spread with the wind.

From time to time, black birds landed on those skulls, stuck their beaks into their eye sockets, and pecked a few bites.

"The Qin army has nothing to fear, even if they wear strong armor, our warriors can cut off their heads."

"Just like these merchants of the Qin Kingdom who come to explore the way, the gods will enjoy their taste to the fullest."

It was a Yue man in his forties who spoke.

His hair was broken and his face was tattooed with red animal patterns.

As he spoke, he saw various lines on his face wriggling, with a strange deterrent effect.

Especially with the dozens of horrific rotten human heads behind him as the background, the scene is even more eerie.

More than a dozen leaders from other tribes were shocked by the rotting heads, and all bowed their heads, muttering words of prayer for the gods' blessing.

Headhunters and cannibalism have always been a custom among the South Vietnamese.

The customs of Xiou are more civilized, they do not eat human flesh.

But if an enemy is found to threaten the safety of the tribe, the Western Ouyue people will hunt the enemy's head.

Cut off the heads of your enemies and sacrifice to your gods.

Now, the king of Xi'ou called on the Song to kill all the captured Qin merchants and hunt heads to sacrifice to the gods in order to curse the Qin people.

He wanted to curse the Qin people who stepped into the Yue Land to rot in the endless jungle, and how many people came and how many they died, all of them became fertilizer for the growth of trees.

Compared to the king of Minyue, who was defenseless against the surprise attack of the Qin army, there was no Zhu.

The king of Xiou translated the Song Dynasty and seemed to be much more resourceful.

When he sent people to infiltrate Changsha County to incite the local Vietnamese to rebel and kill the Qin garrison, he thought that the Qin people would send troops to attack.

Therefore, no matter how well the Qin general Tu Sui concealed the news of the attack, after the Qin army entered the mountains and forests, the news would inevitably leak.

Yihu Song soon learned of the Qin army's large-scale attack, and summoned the leaders of the surrounding Yue tribes to negotiate an alliance.

After a ritual to worship the gods.

Yi Hu Song spoke to the leaders again: "Guibu has been captured by the Qin army, and the Qin army is approaching our homeland. ”

"These hateful outsiders will kill all our men, take our women, take our children to the north to be slaves, and they will destroy our homeland. All of us Ouyue people must unite to resist these hateful invaders and drive them out! ”

In the passionate shouts of the translator Song.

All the leaders responded, all revealing their tattooed arms, and shouted: "Drive out, drive the Qin people out of our Ouyue people's land!" ”

"Alamo!"

Yi Song called his son.

This is a tall young man with warm eyes.

He does not have a tattoo on his face, which means that he was cultivated as the heir of the king of Xiou, and when he inherits his father's position, he will have a corresponding pattern tattooed on his face.

Alamo took the blood of chickens, dogs, and horses.

Under the leadership of Yihu Song, these tribal leaders formed a united front against the Qin army.

"Brave Ouyue warriors, attack!"

……

Under the timely reaction of the king of Xi'ou and the Song Dynasty, the Qin army, which had just broken through the Guibu Yue people, immediately encountered the stubborn resistance of the Xi'ou Yue people.

These Yue people have no defensive equipment, and many of them are even naked in battle, and the weapons they use to attack are very primitive.

With the exception of a very small number of Yue nobles who were able to use bronze weapons, most of them held spears made of bamboo, wood or stone.

As for the bow and arrow, it is even more rudimentary that it cannot be compared with the strong bow and crossbow of the Qin army.

But the more people occupy the geographical advantage!

Just like what Tu Sui and Feng Wuxuan worried about before the war.

These Yue people were very cunning, and seeing that they could not defeat the Qin army head-on, they hid in the mountains and forests during the day under the leadership of Yi Yu Song, and waited until night to run out to attack the Qin army camp.

This style of play made the Qin army defenseless, and even at night they did not dare to unarm their armor and crossbows, and the soldiers were tired day and night.

In addition, the Qin people from the north were difficult to adapt to the local water, soil and climate, and their physique was not good, and in a month's time, the Qin army suffered thousands of casualties, which can be called heavy.

"These Yue monkeys only know how to hide in the woods and carry out sneak attacks. If this continues, my army will be dragged to death here. ”

Tu Sui's face turned pale.

His raid plan was half successful, and the Qin army seized the best time to attack, and in the first wave of the offensive, they took out several Yue tribes such as the Gui and Lin tribes located in the north of Xi'ou.

It's a pity that the king of Xi'ou called on Song to be on guard, his reaction was too fast, and he didn't give the Qin army a chance to kill all the way to the city of the king of Xi'ou, so the Yue people from all parts of the alliance gathered, and now it has become a hard bone to gnaw.

And its difficulty is much more difficult than Tu Sui thought before.

"This translator Song is a man with brains, and with this person, the people of Xiouyue will gather tightly together, and it will be difficult to deal with. If I want to destroy Xiou, I must first get rid of this person! ”

Tu Sui is a general of the Qin State who is proficient in the art of war, and at the same time, his five-year career as a county guard also made him know a lot about the situation in Xiou, and immediately made a strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

"Bring up the Yue Guibu captives who were captured before."

Tu Sui had a plan in his heart and gave an order.

More than ten days later.

The king of Xiou led his troops to attack a Qin army camp at night.

The Qin people in the camp resisted stubbornly, and after nearly 100 casualties, the rest retreated. Another Qin army camp not far away also immediately sent troops to respond.

In this breached Qin army camp, the Yue army who attacked at night found the Guibu Yue nobles who were captured and imprisoned by the Qin army.

Katsunabe, named after the prolific cinnamon in the vicinity.

It was the Yue tribe north of Xi'ou that was annihilated in the sudden attack of the Qin army.

But it was precisely because Guibu and other Yue tribes blocked it that Yi Hu Song was given time to react.

"King Xiou, the Qin people killed my wife and children and slaughtered my tribe. I hate them to the core, and please give us weapons so that we can follow you to take revenge on the evil Qin people! ”

The Yue nobles of the Gui tribe wept in front of the Song Dynasty and denounced the sins of the Qin people against their tribe.

Yi Hu Song agreed to this.

In the face of the abominable invasion of the Qin people, all the Yue tribes were good brothers.

The king of Xi'ou made a promise to them: "Don't worry, in a year at most, I can turn all these Qin people into fertilizer for the mountains and forests." Let them rot here and die. ”

It's a pity that there is no chance of fulfilling the words of Yi Song.

Just two days later, the nobles of the Guibe Yue people, who had been rescued by him, set a fire at night and took advantage of the chaos to attack the residence of Yi Hu Song.

The fire pointed out the direction for the Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time.

Let the Qin army deal with the Yue people, and no longer need to look for people in the forest.

The Qin general Tu Sui mobilized a large army to surround it, and wantonly killed the Yue people who fled in the panic, and achieved good results.

By the dawn of the next day, when the sun had risen high in the sky and the battle was over, he had received amazing good news.

The king of Xi'ou translated the Song Dynasty and was caught by the Qin army!

"You're the translator?"

Tu Sui was dressed in delicate and light leather armor, with a mighty crown on his head, and looked at the king of Xiou who was pressed to the ground by Qin pawns in the posture of a victor.

The translator next to him translated General Tu's words into Vietnamese.

Yi Yu Song opened his mouth and muttered a lot.

The translator's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to translate.

"What he said, you translate it as, I won't blame you."

Tu Sui's face was cold, knowing that what the other party said was not a good thing.

The translator said tremblingly: "General, he said...... He said that the general's head was really round enough, and if he cut it off and scalped it off and offered it to the gods of the Yue people, the gods would surely rejoice. Said that they liked to taste the general's round head the most......"

Tu Sui's eyes were instantly filled with anger.

He turned his head, looked at the general Changshi beside him, and asked, "Since the invasion of Vietnam, how many of our troops have been killed by the Yue?" ”

General Changshi said in a trembling voice: "Don't count injuries and accidents. Our army was directly killed by the Yue people, about 2,000 people. ”

"Two thousand."

Tu Sui said angrily: "This is the person who led the Yue people to kill my two thousand Great Qin soldiers, and I will cut off his head today to pay tribute to the souls of these two thousand people." Pull me down and cut it! ”

In the face of death, Yi Hu Song, who was dragged down by Qin Pawn, screamed constantly.

The translator shuddered and said, "He said that his son Alamo would avenge him, and that all the Qin army would rot in this mountain forest. ”

Tu Sui was dismissive.

"The people of Xiou rely on Yihu Song as the leader to have the strength to stop my army. Now that he has been killed by a stratagem, Xiou is scattered, so why be afraid! ”

"I should take advantage of this great victory, quickly take the land of Xiou, and then go east to Nanyue, and join General Feng in the royal city of Nanyue!"

December of the 32nd year of Qin Shi Huang.

The Qin general Tu Sui murdered the king of Xiou to death, and Yihu Song, with the power of a great victory, forcibly seized the land of Xiou.

and presented the good news to the coach Feng Wuxuan.

Qin will slaughter Sui, and Xiou has been destroyed.
