Chapter 730: Dying
Minyue Royal City, on a bed covered with soft cloth.
Qin General Feng Wuxuan lay on it weakly, staring blankly at the dim wooden roof, his face was yellow.
Footsteps came from outside.
Yin Tong walked into the room and saw General Feng lying upright on the couch, and his heart twitched fiercely.
He reported: "General, according to the captured prisoners, the king of Minyue, Wuzhu, has fled to South Vietnam. ”
Hearing Yin Tong's words, Feng Wuxue's head turned to the side.
The soldier next to him hurriedly stepped forward, slowly helped him up, and sat against the wall.
"That's fine. Our army's new ...... Ahem...... Newly take Minyue, or be careful. ”
"First appease those Minyue people who surrendered, and then let them go and appease the Yue people who were hiding in the mountains and forests. Only by clearing those Vietnamese people in the forest first...... Ahem...... Only after clearing it can our army really control this place. By the way, the news of my illness was sent to Tu ...... Cough...... Is General Tu there? ”
Feng Wuxuan coughed and said intermittently.
Yin Tong replied with a bitter face: "The general can rest assured, I have sent a messenger back to Lujiang, and I will go to General Tu day and night to inform us of the situation of our army." ”
"Hmm."
Feng Wuxue nodded, closed his eyes, and said no more.
When he said a few more words, he felt a panic in his chest.
It's just that compared to the pain in his chest, Feng Wuxue felt more uncomfortable in his heart.
The Qin army attacked Minyue, and the situation was very good.
Under the surprise attack and siege of the three-way Qin army, in more than a month, the Qin army took the Minyue royal city and most of the Minyue strongholds.
The king of Minyue fled to South Vietnam in a hurry. Many Minyue people hid in the mountains and forests to harass the Qin army, but without a leading leader, those Yue people were just a plate of loose sand, and in Feng Wuxue's opinion, they couldn't make any big waves, and the Qin army slowly appeased and exterminated.
At this time, perhaps because of more than a month of long marching, bumpy journey, and too much energy to win the battle.
Feng Wuxue's body quickly collapsed.
When the Qin army defeated the Minyue royal city, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he could only lie on the bed and let the deputy general Yin Tong command the Qin army.
The main general was ill here, and the Qin army, which had just defeated Minyue, naturally did not dare to attack South Vietnam according to the previous plan.
South Vietnam is the strongest fighting force in the hundred Yue, known as cannibal headhunters, extremely fierce, no one dares to take orders to conquer South Vietnam without Feng Wuxuan to command.
Therefore, when Feng Wuxuan fell, he sent someone to give an order to Tu Sui who was attacking Xiou on the other side overnight.
After he asked Tu Sui to conquer Xiou in the military order, he took a good look at the local area and postponed the attack on South Vietnam.
"I have written to Xianyang and asked the emperor to send another famous general to lead the army."
"What I can do is probably to guard this newly laid Minyue land and pave the way for those who come after."
Feng Wuxue whispered in his heart, full of gloom.
At this time, there were short soldiers who brought medicinal soup.
"General, it's time to drink the medicine."
Feng Wuxue glanced at the cloudy, bubbling black medicinal soup in the bowl.
This is the medicine used by the Yue people to treat water Gu.
Some people can be cured after drinking it, but some people drink it and it has no effect, anyway, it's just a gambling word.
Feng Wuzhi sighed and asked the short soldiers to feed him the medicinal soup.
Yin Tong watched silently from the side, he hoped that the general would get better.
After a while, Feng Wuxue's face suddenly turned red and he opened his mouth uncontrollably.
A wriggling mass of red bugs was spat out by him.
……
The black Qin flag fluttering in the Xiou King City.
"General, without waiting for the chief to reply, will our army directly attack South Vietnam?"
Wang Bao, the deputy general of the Qin army, asked with some concern.
Tu Sui's eyes lifted from the map and sneered, "Reply? It takes at least a month for the messenger to come and go, and it may take even longer if there is heavy rain. By then it will be too late! ”
Just like Tu Sui said.
This time, the Qin army that conquered Baiyue was divided into two parts, attacking Minyue and Xiou from the east and west respectively. Such a division of troops has the advantage of being able to quickly raid two large Vietnamese countries at the same time and achieve good results.
But the downside is that communication is very difficult.
Minyue, equivalent to Fujian in later generations, the place where the Minyue royal city is located is probably in the Fuzhou area.
Xi'ou is the Guangxi of later generations.
If there is a direct communication between the two places, it is actually fine.
But it is a pity that there is a fierce South Vietnamese state in the middle of the two Qin armies, blocking the road.
Therefore, if Tu Sui wanted to send a messenger to inform Feng Wuxue, he had to first send someone back to Changsha County from Xi'ou, then go east to Lujiang County next door, and finally go south to Minyue.
In the map of later generations, this road needs to pass through the territory of Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and take an arc-shaped road, which is at least thousands of miles away.
In addition, the road conditions at this time are complicated and difficult, and there is a lack of post facilities along the way, so it takes a long, long time to transmit messages.
"The soldiers are fast. Now the Yihu Song has been killed by me, Xiou has been newly destroyed, and most of its strongholds have been occupied by our Qin army. It was a good opportunity for our army to carry the prestige of a great victory and break through South Vietnam. Perhaps General Feng had already captured Minyue and began to storm South Vietnam, waiting for our army to flank it. If I don't move at this time, won't I delay the fighter plane and let General Feng fight alone? ”
Tu Sui's face turned red with excitement, and the scars left on his face during the previous assassination looked even more hideous and terrifying.
"Take advantage of the situation to send troops to attack South Vietnam and break it in one fell swoop, and then I will directly join General Feng in the royal city of South Vietnam, and its speed may be faster than the messenger going back and forth! Hahaha! ”
After Tu Sui laughed, he gave the order to attack South Vietnam without waiting for Wang Bao and the generals to speak.
Military orders are like mountains.
After General Tu gave the order to attack, the Qin army left 10,000 soldiers to guard the grain road along the way and the Xi'ou garrison, and the 30,000-strong army went straight south to attack South Vietnam.
The time has come to January of the 32nd year of Qin Shi Huang.
January is spring in the north.
In the land south of Qin, there is no saying of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In a dense area of jungle, there is only a rainy season and a dry season.
Now, the rainy season is here.
It's not yet June or July, when it's the rainy season when you get moldy and rotten in the heat.
But in this spring, the wild jungle shrouded in light rain still caused the Qin army to suffer heavy losses.
Miasma and poisonous mist obscured the road ahead, epidemics were epidemic, and the transpiring water vapor between the trees kept burrowing into the bodies of one Qin person after another.
Not adapting to the water and soil is a taboo in the march, let alone encountering such an extremely harsh environment.
The Qin soldiers fell into a piece.
One Wu, one Shi fell collectively.
The South Vietnamese, who had already received the warning of Xiou and Minyue, took the initiative to launch an attack on the Qin army led by Tu Sui.
As if Feng Wuxuan in the east did not launch an attack on South Vietnam, the South Vietnamese who came out of the woods were tens of thousands, and the number was very large.
These fierce South Vietnamese warriors with dragon patterns tattooed on their bodies caused great damage to the Qin army with the help of the advantages of time and location.
In the rear of the Qin army, the Yue rebel army, led by Alamo, the son of King Xiou, also took advantage of the situation to attack the grain routes and logistics of the Qin army.
"Withdraw!"
Tu Sui gave the order to retreat with a pale face.
The rainy season jungle in the south made Tu Sui feel fear.
Every mile away, there were the corpses of the Qin people.
If he stays any longer, he feels like he's going to rot in this jungle.
The Qin army began to retreat.
The South Vietnamese followed in constant pursuit.
They were the most seasoned hunters in the mountains and forests, and they could always seize the moment when the Qin army was at its laxest to strike a fatal blow.
The Qin army, which was already plagued by epidemics and whose morale was broken, could be the opponent of these Yue barbarians in this primeval jungle.
Often, an attack means that dozens or hundreds of Qin heads were cut down and brought back by the South Vietnamese.
After capturing a large number of Qin army's armor and weapons, the Yue people became more and more powerful.
Tu Sui led the army to retreat.
The Qin army was still fifty miles away from the original Xiou Wangcheng, which is now named "Guilin".
Of the 30,000 Qin troops who went out to South Vietnam, there were only about 10,000 left.
"I am not defeated by the hands of the Yue people, but I am actually killed in the sky!"
Tu Sui rode on a horse and looked at the sky with unwillingness.
He knew that the rainy season in the south was not good for marching, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
The epidemic alone can drag down the Qin army, not to mention those Yue people who took advantage of the situation to counterattack.
The tall giant trees blocked Tu Sui's field of vision, and only bits and pieces could be seen in the originally endless sky.
The forest that had just rained last night was groggy and full of mist, which made Tu Sui feel like he was going to mold from his body.
At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the forest.
Immediately after, in the misty mist, countless Yue people sprang out.
"Qin people, die!"
With the shouts of the Yue people.
The chaotic arrows fired in unison, piercing through the fog and shooting towards the ranks of the Qin army.
"Enemy attack!"
Tu Sui was shocked and hurriedly swung his sword to block the grid.
Helplessly, the Qin army was ambushed and caught off guard.
Several arrows hit Tu Sui, and he was hit by an arrow in the cheek.
Today's Tu Sui is no longer the heroic appearance of being ambushed by Chen Yu and being hit by an arrow, and he can still launch a charge to counterattack.
The arrows of the Yue people have been soaked in the poison of poisonous frogs and snakes and scorpions.
Tu Sui screamed and fell to the ground, surrounded by the panicked and helpless cries of the Qin soldiers.
In that misty mist.
Tu Sui seemed to see a young face, staring at him.
Tu Sui said softly: "What you said is right. ”
"Baiyue, it's hard to recruit."
In the thirty-second year of Qin Shi Huang, spring.
The Qin general Tu Sui was ambushed and killed by the Yue people.
The Qin army was defeated.
