In early summer, the sun is not very hot, but the earth is scorched. The flames of war have been ignited, the white tiger flag covers the sky and the sun, and the tiger has descended the mountain.

Setig was an eight-foot-long man, with a tiger's back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a mantle, and a beard. He is a well-known Hercules in the tribe, and can lift more than a thousand pounds of bronze tripods.

The Jade Rabbit Crescent Moon banner in Zhouyi City is fluttering in the wind, and the Marquis of Gongzhong Yong on the tower of the city gate is a battle-hardened veteran. Half of his body is of Chang royal blood, and he is the second oldest of the four brothers, all of whom are descendants of King Chang Zhaowu.

Zhouyi City is a military fortress in the central part of Duzhou, Zhouyi City is broken, and the entire Zhouyuan will be in danger of rejecting foreign enemies. The Xijon people raised troops to attack, and Gong Zhongyong hurriedly summoned his vassals to send troops to resist.

Gong Zhongyong fortified on the east bank of Fengshui, cleared the wilderness, waited for work at ease, and never easily launched a decisive battle with the enemy. He wanted to block the White Tiger Setig on the west bank of Fengshui, and wait until the reinforcements arrived, and then the reinforcements would surround and annihilate him.

In the camp of Settig, the White Tiger King drank wine and ate the whole roasted sheep with his staff in the big tent. The White Tiger King ate his mouth full of oil, and without wiping his mouth, he raised Jin Jue and took a sip of wine.

"This sheep is very delicious today," the White Tiger King held up the empty jue, "fat but not greasy, I just don't know if the rabbit that will be hunted next is fat!"

Without even thinking about it, Tagore replied, "How can a rabbit compare with a sheep, no matter how fat it is, it is only so small." ”

Sanuzu understood the sound of Setig, and said with a smile: "The rabbits raised by Zhouyuan's aquatic plants are naturally fat enough. When Zhouyi City is taken and Gong Zhongyong is captured alive, don't you know that this rabbit is small!"

"Hahahaha......" Sanuzu's words made everyone present burst into laughter.

Only then did Tagore react and laughed: "It turns out that I am talking about Gong Zhongyong, this old rabbit!

"The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, you probably haven't heard of it, right?" said Sanuzu, a rare wise man in Xirong, "As far as I know, Gong Zhongyong has been able to hold Zhou Yuan for so many years by cunning. When Chang Ming, who was still the second prince, launched a battle for the heir to the crown prince Chang Yao, this cunning rabbit saw that Chang Ming's victory was in sight, and immediately changed the court and invested in Chang Ming's account. ”

Sanu Zu continued: "Later, the third prince Changyang joined forces with the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Relic to defeat King Changming, who succeeded in seizing the heir. The cunning rabbit saw that the victory of the third prince was in sight, and took refuge in the account of the king of Changyang. ”

"Isn't this just a wall grass that falls on both sides!" said Setig with a contemptuous smile on his face, "The widow hates the most is the one who falls on both sides of the wind." If you catch this cunning rabbit alive, you will have to feed him to the fat head. ”

The fat head in Setig's mouth is a fierce white tiger. It was raised by a tiger cub he rescued when he went into the mountains to hunt and beat a bear to death with his bare hands. Since then, he has defeated the old leader of the tribe and become a veritable White Tiger King.

The ferocious fat head was as docile as a cat in front of Setige, but outsiders didn't dare to touch it. Unless they want to think of themselves as fat food, who would dare to approach such a beast?

"But now our army has come from afar," Sanuzu pointed out, "and Gongzhong Yongjian is clear of the wilderness, waiting for work on the other side of the river." It's still a little difficult to keep this cunning rabbit alive. ”

Evil Lai stood up and bowed to Setig, "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead a tiger to smash the cunning rabbit hole." ”

Setig poured another jue of wine, took it and drank it down, the wine leaking from the corner of his mouth running down his beard. He put down Jin Jue unhurriedly and wiped his beard wet with wine, "Give them a few more days, and then clean up together when they have all the people, so it won't be troublesome." ”

"Soldiers," said Tagore, "we should be quick." ”

"This battle, no more than before, is not urgent. Setig rejected Tagore's opinion.

Sanuzu added: "What the king means is that we need to rest and recuperate and raise our morale before we can go to war. ”

"That's right," said Setig, "for the next few days, the soldiers will be fed and drunk. Except for the soldiers who were on duty, they all slept in the tents and hunted when they had enough spirits. ”

In the face of a menacing enemy, Gong Zhongyong did not dare to take it lightly. He kept his soldiers on high alert at all times to guard against enemy raids. The vassals left most of their soldiers to guard their castles, and only sent a small number of people to support, much to the dissatisfaction of Gong Zhongyong.

For several days, the soldiers of Setig moved along the banks of the Fengshui River, but they were only hunting. Despite this, the soldiers of Gong Zhongyong on the other side of the river could not sleep well. They were afraid that these hunting barbarians would take advantage of them and launch a surprise attack on their camp.

The highly tense atmosphere created by Setig really seriously affected the morale of Gong Zhongyong's army. Every day, except for dunging under his nose, he didn't take big action, but he didn't dare to relax.

Half a month passed, and Gong Zhongyong's soldiers were exhausted, while the soldiers of Setig were full of morale and high morale through this period of rest and a series of hunting activities.

I have to say that as a strong tiger, Setig is too good at hunting. He knew very well that only when he had made his prey most exhausted, and then he could swoop in and kill.

This tactic is a hunting tactic that he is proud of. In the days that followed, Setig sent a small force of brave Tiger Ben to attack the enemy's stronghold in order to confuse the enemy and completely break down their mental state.

Under the hunting tactics of Setig, Gong Zhongyong's soldiers all had dark circles under their eyes, often yawned, and were extremely mentally exhausted.

Although Gong Zhongyong is a veteran of many battles, it is the first time he has fought against the Setigs. He was also a little confused about the set that Setig played. By the time he realized that the situation was not good, it was already too late, and the horn of the Setig attack sounded.

The army of Setig left the camp in full order and crossed the river in an orderly manner. However, Gong Zhongyong was unable to organize an effective resistance on the riverbank. Until the Setig army crossed the Fengshui River, Gong Zhongyong's soldiers were still cowering in the camp.

After crossing the river, the army of Setig lined up a stone's throw from the enemy's formation. Setig placed the shieldmen at the front, the archers behind the shieldmen, and the Tiger cavalry on the flanks.

Riding on a fat head, Setig shouted to the soldiers in front of the battle: "Warriors of Setig, now, the time of hunting has come. After capturing the city of Zhouyi, money, women, everything. But now, take up your weapons, follow the widows, and slay your enemies like a tiger biting its prey. ”

"Roar, roar, roar!" the soldiers raised their weapons and roared, like roaring tigers.

With the command of "start hunting" from Setig, the shield soldiers in front advanced steadily, the archers followed, and the tigers on both wings outflanked and cut off the enemy's retreat.

When Setig's army came into range, the archers in the camp fired their arrows in unison, and the arrows thumped into their shields.

Twelve hoplites divided into two rows, holding ropes and dragging a large log, rushed at high speed towards the gate of the camp. Just three feet away from the gate of the camp, the knights released the ropes in their hands at the same time and turned their horses' heads.

Under the action of inertia, the big wood directly broke through the gate of the camp. The shield soldiers swarmed in, and the two armies met each other at the gate of the camp. In the face of the brave and skilled tigers, the soldiers guarding the gate were quickly defeated.

The Setig warriors were stained with the blood of their prey, and they attacked the camp without much effort.

Gratu, a daring general, found that there were no enemy troops in the camp except for the archers on the wall of the camp. He quickly shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw quickly." ”

The archers on the wall lit rockets and fired them into the camp. It turned out that under the tents in the camp, there was flammable hay, and the fire ignited instantly. Had it not been for the timely retreat, most of the Setig warriors would have been engulfed in flames.

Just as the Setig warriors withdrew from the camp, the soldiers of Gong Zhongyong, who had long been in ambush in the woods, rushed out.

Seeing this, Setig couldn't help but sigh: "What the is this rabbit! It's clearly a cunning old fox!"

"Let's retreat!" suggested Tagore beside him.

"Retreat?" Setig glared, "How can the tiger be chased by its prey?" ”

Rabindranath Tagore then ordered, "Warriors, take out the momentum of a tiger and bite your prey!"

One by one, the soldiers of Setig roared and rushed towards the enemy who surrounded them, fighting together. Riding on a fat head and holding a large hammer in his hand, Setig rushed directly towards the enemy general.

The general was stunned when he saw Settig riding a tiger. Before he could react, he was hit in the chest with a hammer by Setig, and he was directly knocked off the horse, spurting out a mouthful of blood and dying.

Rushing into the crowd of enemies, Setig fell, with a swing of the hammer, and a group of armor warriors fell. The armorer who was hit in the head had his head and skull hammered flat.

A general stood on a carriage and fired an arrow at Setig, which hit Setig in the left arm. The furious-haired Setig rode straight to the carriage with his fat head, smashing the left wheel of the carriage with a single hammer.

The general overturned with the carriage, and a dog pounced on Setig. Setig smashed it down, and the general's head was smashed directly into the geography.

"Hahahaha......" Setig laughed, "what other guy who doesn't have long eyes wants to taste Warhammer?

In the face of such a ferocious White Tiger King, Gong Zhongyong's soldiers were panicked and not close enough. The warriors under the command of Setig also became more and more courageous, and the enemy was defeated one after another. However, the Tiger Cavalry, who had been preparing to outflank in a roundabout way, appeared, and they began to harvest the battlefield.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Gongzhong Yongmingjin gathered the remnants of the defeated army and prepared to retreat to Zhouyi City. I can't imagine that he wanted to lead the enemy deep into the camp and burn the tiger skin, but he suffered a big defeat.

Gong Zhongyong stood in the chariot with a depressed face, feeling very uncomfortable. However, as soon as the carriage entered Zhouyi City, his son greeted him with good news. His daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and he wants to report his grandson. The fact that Setig raised his army and his grandson was born at this time was truly an unforgettable moment of joy and sorrow.

"Has the child been named?" asked Gong Zhongyong to his son.

Gong Zhonglin replied, "Not yet! I'm just waiting for my father to come back, so you can give me a name!"

"This kid was born at the time of the life and death of the Zhou Kingdom, so let's name it 'Zhou Yuan'! Let him always remember that this is his homeland. ”

Gong Zhongyong's words made Gong Zhonglin faintly feel ominous. Before he could speak, his father instructed: "Choose a group of capable armor soldiers and escort you to Xuanyuan City, and his grandfather will protect him." ”

"The situation will not be so bad," Gong Zhonglin still hoped, "Isn't it just a defeat, not to the point of fleeing with his wife and children, and Kohara himself led the troops to repel Setig." ”

"Why don't you understand?" Gong Zhongyong shook his head helplessly, "The Setig people are all fierce and fierce, and all the vassals are reluctant to send troops to help in order to protect themselves. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the country is destroyed and the species will be wiped out. In this moment of crisis, you take your wife and children to seek refuge in your father-in-law, which is the best policy. ”

"But what are you going to do when we're gone?"

"Don't worry about the old man, the old man will live and die with Zhouyi City. ”

Under Gong Zhongyong's arrangement, Gong Zhonglin left Zhouyi City with his wife and children that night.

Sure enough, as Gong Zhongyong expected, Gong Zhongyong led his soldiers to fight fiercely at the head of the city for three days and three nights, and the city of Zhouyi was finally broken by the Setigs. Gong Zhongyong watched his soldiers die in front of him one by one, and his heart ached.

Once, in order to prevent the people living in Zhouyuan from going through the poison of war, he always chose to stand on the side of the winner. And this time, he didn't have a choice, because the winner was his enemy. This time, he decided to fight to the end and regain his lost dignity.

The White Tiger King originally thought that Gong Zhongyong would bow down and surrender, but he never thought that he would fight to the end. Setig changed his previous opinion and began to admire the old fox.

"Old fox," cried Setig, "your soldiers are dead, and you're not going to be captured?"

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to let the old man be arrested!" Gong Zhongyong replied, "Tiger cub, do you dare to fight the old man to the death?"

"Hahahaha......" Setig laughed, "I'm afraid your old bones won't be able to eat my hammer." ”

"I have long heard that the people of Xijon have produced a young hero who killed a black bear with his bare hands. The old man fought all his life, just to keep this side of the water and soil. It is not in vain to die under the hammer of the hero Setig. It's just that after the old man dies in battle, he still hopes that the White Tiger King will be kind to the people of Li who live in this Zhou Yuan. In the dispute between the two countries, it should be the monarch who is responsible, and the disaster should not befall the civilians. ”

"Hahahaha...... When death is on the verge of death, he actually said the same words as the Dragon Heavenly Relic, it seems that his influence on you back then was not small!"

"Royal Dragon Heavenly Relic, the old man respects him as a hero who does what he says. Over the years, although there were many slave owners in my Zhou country, under the rule of the old man, my people did not bear the burden of unwarranted disasters. The old man also respects you for being a hero, and hopes that you will have the appearance of a hero, and do not slaughter the innocent civilians in the city. ”

"That's all that has been said, let's go!" Setig was about to let Gong Zhongyong go, "This city, after planting the White Tiger Flag, I guarantee that the residents of the city are safe and sound." ”

"The old man is not greedy for life and afraid of death!" Gong Zhongyong emphasized, "In the past, in order to save this territory from being destroyed, I would only stand on the side of the winners. Now, the old man has no choice, and he doesn't want to make a living. Even an old man has to die on the battlefield. ”

"Well, this king will fulfill you. ”

After speaking, Setig raised his hammer and smashed it at Gong Zhongyong.
