Chapter 31: Koto Daan

At this time, the Eastern Chu army surrounded from all directions. The East Vietnamese army was killed in a chill. They threw off their armor. Flee to the mountains. Others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Pray that the Eastern Chu army will spare them from dying.

Even Wu Zhu was so angry that he vomited blood. Nearly passed out. Then the crowd will be saved. The body of Wuzhu was weak, and he was half-leaning against the stone. Several East Vietnamese soldiers immediately vacated a horse-drawn cart that hauled grain and grass. Place the None on the carriage. Then. Nothing has been discovered yet. There is no way back for me.

In the carriage. Wuzhu looked at the sky in despair. I used to have lofty ambitions. I once wanted to regain my ancestral business. Revive the Yue country again. But now. He was defeated by Xiang Zhuang in only one battle. He was very unwilling. He didn't want to die like that. But God just let Xiang Zhuang be the king of Eastern Chu. It has become a nightmare that he can never surpass. There is him to guard Jiangdong. I'm afraid that there will never be a day when Dongyue will go north.

The more you think about it, the more sad you become. Tears fell unconsciously. Then. Nado and Teddy, who just got the news. Xiuduo hurried back. They gathered around Wuzhu. Teddy couldn't stop crying. Only Nadeau remained somewhat calm. He looked at the emaciated Wuzhu. sighed: "Great King. Our troops suffered heavy casualties. Most of them had been captured by the enemy or had fled into the mountains. Our army has less than 30,000 troops available. It is necessary to turn away from Mount Andi. From the south of the Anhe River. can support this misfortune. I don't know what the king wants. ”

Wuzhu looked at Nado sluggishly. At this point, he had no intention of asking about it. Only nodded slightly. Nadeau immediately instructed the generals: "Go south." Let's go south from Mount Andi. ”

The East Vietnamese Army immediately stepped up. There are more than 20 miles ahead. Head down a remote southern road into the mountains. Over here. It is the city of Jinhua in later generations. And south of the Andi Mountains. It is now known as the Andi Reservoir. At this time, the army marched slowly. The road is rough. But the shouting and killing behind has gradually become quieter. Nadeau stopped in the middle of the line. Stand on a higher uphill slope and look back. The back stretches without feeling the line. But the soldiers were a little frightened. It can be seen that they have been killed by the Eastern Chu army in this battle.

And the East Vietnamese army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. How powerful. Now I look back. The flag is in tatters. Sergeants do not wear armor. Some soldiers even threw away their weapons. The East Vietnamese Army's grain and grass trucks were also forced to abandon nearly 3,000. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. Rush back to Dongye.

The more Nadeau thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He sighed softly. Turn the horse's head and move forward. But at this time. There were bursts of frightened shouts from the rear of the East Vietnamese Army: "The East Chu Army is coming." Come on. ”

The rear army squeezed the front army. The front army was unstable. Many people fell or fell off their horses. Trampled to death by frightened war horses. The ranks are getting more and more chaotic. The army behind squeezed forward more and more. Run forward. The slower the army marched in front. Teddy and Mengyang slash their swords to death. In the end, it didn't work out. The East Vietnamese Army was still crowded forward in confusion. At last. Even they were forced to move forward with the flow of people. Only Teddy shouted on his horse: "Protect the king." Protect the King. ”

Then. Even the front team heard a burst of screams. Dozens of people were knocked to the ground by the sudden feathered arrows. Suddenly. Hundreds of Eastern Chu flags emerged from the woods. A general holds a halberd. Gazing at the panicked East Vietnamese Army front team in the ranks. Lang Ran laughed and said, "Cao Wuxian has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

"Cao is not injured." Teddy was surprised. Then. Mengyang had drawn his sword. I want to go forward and fight hard. But at this time. The feathered arrows of the Eastern Chu army roared again. Mengyang dodged and dodged. After a few rolls on the ground. only to escape from the range of the Eastern Chu army. Even so. He was still wounded by arrows in multiple places. Seeing that there is no way out. There were pursuers behind. Teddy sighed on his horse, "That's fine." Let's fight to the death with the Eastern Chu army. ”

Teddy wants to rally his forces for a last-ditch effort. But it was Wuzhu, who was always dying in the carriage, struggled to get up. He sat in the carriage with the support of several guards. His eyes were gloomy looking ahead. He said hatefully: "Why kill them all." ”

"Hahaha. You don't die. How can I seek peace on the south? After a hearty laugh. Xiang Zhuang slowly walked out of the military formation. Behind him. There are more than 100 military generals. At this time, Xiang Zhuang came to a high place. Gazing at the sick nothing. said coldly: "What do you and I have to do?" It is necessary to have a large army ravaging the land of Jiangdong. ”

"The land of Jiangdong belongs to my Yue country. Why do you say that it is your Xiang family? Now I'm so defeated. I don't ask for much. I will pay for my sins with death. But let me go. Let them go back. ”

"Do you think they'll be alive when they go back? I'm afraid I won't let them go. Xiang Zhuang laughed loudly. He pointed to the guide and continued: "But God has the virtue of a good life. I want you to surrender to Dongyue for ten years. If you have bad intentions within 10 years. I will surely go south with my own army. Crusade against you. ”

Xiang Zhuang's words surprised Wu Zhu. He stared at Xiang Zhuang in disbelief and sighed, "Aren't you afraid that I will make a comeback." ”

"You've seen my army. Fight with you. I'm absolutely sure. If you dare to invade the north again in ten years. I will tell that your army will never return. This time. I'll let you go for now. Xiang Zhuang finished. Turning back to Cao Wuxian, he ordered: "Withdraw the troops." Let them go back. ”

Cao Wuxian was slightly surprised. After Xiang Zhuang secretly received himself from that day. So he let himself lie in ambush in the area of Andi. In case the East Vietnamese army will flee south from here. At this time, we finally waited for the rabbit. The first update blocked the East Vietnamese army. Xiang Zhuang wanted to let them go. This made Cao Wuxian unable to guess. I don't understand. He took a step forward. Da Anxious said: "King." Such a great opportunity. Why not ......"

Cao Wuxian made a motion of slashing his neck with a knife. Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "I have my own reasons for letting him go." All you have to do is collect your troops. ”

Cao Wuxian saw that Xiang Zhuang had made up his mind. Only then did he sigh: "Collect the troops." ”

"Bell, bell, bell" after a gong sound. The Eastern Chu army gradually retreated along the gallop road to the east. Then. Wuzhu lay back on the carriage a little helplessly. He stared blankly at the sky. By this time the carriage had set off again. Xiudo and Teddy led the army to open the way. Nado was by his side. The team turned along the winding path and walked away from the gallop of Xiang Zhuang and the others. Follow the main road towards Yeosu.

Xiang Zhuang obviously has the ability to kill himself. But why did he let himself go back?

There is no way to figure it out. He looked at the blue sky and the white clouds. Large green trees float in front of you. Suddenly. Wu Zhu understood. The reason why Xiang Zhuang didn't kill himself. It's to let yourself go back to check and balance. This traitor. He dared to betray himself. He recovered on his own. Be sure to kill this traitor with your own hands.

Wuzhu secretly swore in his heart.

……

After Xiang Zhuang gathered the army. He led his troops to Damo County. The place was now in ruins. Dilapidated. It's hard for Xiang Zhuang to imagine. How did Ding Hong and Jun Ziyu stick to the last month. But now that it's the end of the day. Xiang Zhuang couldn't ignore it. In the future, it will still be the first battlefield against the East Vietnamese. Although I told Wu Zhu myself. He was not allowed to go north for ten years. But there is no question of whether or not they can check and balance. It is still unknown to prevent the donkey from becoming dominant. If there is no re-emergence. He probably won't forget the humiliation of today. Sure enough, they will go north to make trouble. And what about the donkey. If he swallows nothing. Is he willing to live in the land of Dongyue forever? Don't go north anymore? The answer is yes. They will all invade north again. Over here. It will become the southernmost barrier of the Eastern Chu Army.

Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment. He turned to look at Li Pet. This kid did an excellent job today. 5,000 cavalry against 20,000 East Vietnamese troops. And advance and retreat in an orderly manner. He's a general. If you don't nurture him. It's a shame. Come to think of it. Xiang Zhuang shouted: "Where is Li Pet?" ”

Li Pet hurriedly walked out of the crowd. Come to Xiang Zhuang's side. He arched his hand and said, "The last general has seen the king." ”

"You did a great job today. The king was satisfied. is worthy of being a rare tiger general of the Black Eagle Army under General Ding Gu. ”

"King Xie praised." Li Pet gave a military salute. Then. Xiang Zhuang looked at Li Pet. It wasn't the first day he dealt with Li Pet. The person's abilities. Xiang Zhuang still knows very well. At this time, Xiang Zhuang thought for a while. Then he looked at all the people present. Only then did he sigh: "Dongyue went north beyond my expectations. He was envisioned a few years earlier than I expected. This also made our war against East Vietnam full of holes. It is also necessary to mobilize the Black Eagle Army from the Jiangnan defense line to the south. and organize grain and grass. Batches were sent to the front. It is also necessary to temporarily recruit young people to enrich the Black Eagle Army. Defend the river port. It's all my fault. So. This time the king will make some adjustments to the military deployment. ”

Xiang Zhuang's redeployment defense. It has made many people raise their hearts to their throats. They don't know. What kind of arrangements will Xiang Zhuang make.

Ding Gu was the most nervous. Will Xiang Zhuang replace himself because of this battle.

Just when everyone looked at Xiang Zhuang intently. Xiang Zhuang then ordered: "This king has decided to form a flame battalion. The fixed number is 20,000. Directly under the end of the government. Crow. Zhuji Three Counties Defense. Li Yan served as the main general. Li Chong served as a deputy general. Governor of the Three Counties of Government. ”

The two were taken aback. Immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "The last general must be stationed here with all his might." Strictly guard against the East Vietnam. ”

Then. Xiang Zhuang said: "It's not enough to rely on defense. You must learn to be gentle. And take advantage of the emptiness of the discord between Dongou and Dongyue to stabilize them. This. This king believes in Li Yan's ability. That's why you're the commander of the Flame Battalion. This king is relieved. ”

"King Xie trusts." Li Yan saluted again. Then. Xiang Zhuang said again: "This king will not give you too elite troops. The 23,000 strong people raised in Koto this year. All dialed to you. It's up to you to train. This king wants you to train a strong army. ”

"The end will be certain."

Xiang Zhuang nodded. He looked at Jun Zi and Ding Hong again. These two have done very well this time. Then he soothed: "You two strictly abide by the end of the day." and he kept the western barrier for the king. This king can spare no effort to stalemate with nothing. Get a big win. This king decides. It is forbidden to seal Ding Hong as a general. The gentleman is the general of Zhenwei. You two are willing. ”

"I would like to listen to the king's arrangement."

"Command the three armies. Rest for three days in Damo County. The Great Sacrifice of the Three Armies. Three days later, we pulled out the village and returned to the north. Xiang Zhuang looked at everyone. Lang Ran laughed. Victory in this battle. Dongchu can finally stabilize its internal affairs. Seek development. In order to plan for the opportunity to go north in the future.
