Chapter 9 The King of Chu died in battle

The king of Chu led his army to approach Chu Qi's barracks and set up camp. The Chu armies on both sides faced each other from a distance.

The king of Chu personally came to the front of the two armies, and shouted at Chu Qi: "Chu Qi, seeing Gu, why don't you get off your horse and plead guilty?!"

Chu Qi knew it at this time, and there was no chance of turning back.He rode on the horse, bowed his hands to the King of Chu, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Chuqi, have no intention of betraying Chu. Don't be deceived by traitors. I sent troops to cross the country this time just to I have avenged the killing of my brother by Huang Fu. When the revenge is avenged, I will bring my own head to Beijing to plead guilty. I hope Your Majesty will do it."

The King of Chu smiled coldly and said, "Well, you have no intention of betraying the Chu State. You are good at mobilizing troops and horses, you don't follow military orders, and you disobey my king's will. Now that my king is here in person, you dare to send troops to respond. You This is not treason, so what is it! If I don’t capture you today, I will punish you severely according to the laws of Great Chu, so what is the state law of my Great Chu?”

After all, he ordered his generals to go forward and capture Chu Qi.A general named Guo Tu rushed out from behind the King of Chu, swung his weapon and charged at Chu Qi.

Chu Qi didn't face the fight, and turned his horse back to his formation.That Guo Tu called for the enemy before the battle, scolding Chu Qi as a traitor to the country and the soldiers in Chu Qi's battalion as traitors.The generals under Chu Qi, seeing that the morale of the army had changed after being scolded by the general, hurriedly signaled to each other, knowing that it was time to burn the boat.There was a general named Li Yuanhua who asked Chu Qi for orders: "General, the King of Chu is determined to go his own way and does not listen to your pleas. This Guo Tu is arrogant and will eventually fight. Capture him first, and then slowly talk to the King of Chu. If the King of Chu insists on fighting, this is the end of the matter, and there is only one more battle. General, we have no way out!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanhua swung his weapon, mobilized his horse, and rushed out of his formation to fight with Guo Tu.

Although the generals under Chu Qi's command are brothers who fight on the battlefield all year round, most of them have real skills; while the generals in the court mostly serve the emperor, and their words are better than their hands.As soon as the two fought against each other, Li Yuanhua's big sword moved towards Guo Tu's vital point.Guo Tuyuan just wanted to come up, and took advantage of the power of the King of Chu to yell and scold him. Chu's chess players were afraid of him and surrendered one after another, so he took the first place.When Li Yuanhua came out of the battle, he slashed with the round saber. He only parried for a few rounds. Kick off and flee back towards your own camp.

Li Yuanhua is one of the generals who advocated Chuqi's independence.He knew that the only way to stop Chu Qi from hesitating was to kill the generals under King Chu.Seeing that Guo Tu wanted to escape, he bent his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at Guo Tu's back.

Guo Tu was rushing back in a panic, when he heard the soldiers in his formation shouting for him to be careful, he knew it was wrong, he was about to lean down, but it was too late, he was shot in the back of the heart by Li Yuanhua, and died, the dead body fell under the horse .

Li Yuanhua slapped on his horse, chopped off Guo Tu's head with one knife, raised it with the tip of his knife, and demonstrated in front of the battle.

When Li Yuanhua was about to shoot Guo Tu, Chu Qi waited to open his mouth to stop him, but when he saw an arrow hit and cut off Guo Tu's head, he could only sigh.

The king of Chu couldn't help being furious when he saw that the generals under Chu Qi's men really dared to confront him and killed his generals.He asked repeatedly: "Which general will go to battle to avenge General Guo?"

One of them will go out to fight Li Yuanhua.

The King of Chu and Chu Qi fought in battle here, each winning or losing, and the fight was dark.

The Yue army had quietly surrounded it from three sides; the Qi army had also arrived behind the Chu army, cutting off the Chu king's retreat.The two sides only waited for the king of Chu and Chu Qi to lose both sides in the battle, then they would reap the benefits of the fisherman and wipe out the Chu army here.

The king of Chu fought against Chuqi, and he also got a spy report, saying that the Yue army had surrounded him, and the Qi army wanted to cut off his retreat, so he was a little anxious. He discussed with the generals in the army and felt that it was not appropriate to delay. Be sure to make a quick decision, take the Chu chess, and then rush to lead the army back to Chu.So the army in the camp was ordered to come out in full force, and the whole army rushed to Chuqi's camp to fight a decisive battle with Chuqi.

At this time, Chu Qi was helpless. He was tricked by everyone to send troops to conquer Yue. Now that the king of Chu is personally conquering, and he is fighting with the king of Chu himself, he is not plotting rebellion, but also plotting rebellion. There is no room for maneuver.At this time, I was in the battle, and my heart was distressed.He heard drums shaking the sky outside and shouts of killing everywhere.Hastily led all the generals on horseback to meet the enemy, and saw that the king of Chu led the whole army to attack him, and the forwards of the two armies were already fighting together.So they raised their weapons and killed them.

This killing was extremely tragic. The King of Chu is the ruler of a country after all. Those soldiers who came with Chu Qi, when they saw the King of Chu, most of them gave up their swords and surrendered.Only Chu Qi's true confidant soldiers stood by Chu Qi's side and fought hard.The two sides fought for half a day, and Chu Qi was defeated. Under the protection of several generals, they fled in panic with thousands of soldiers.Little did he know that the Yue army was waiting, and there was another rush to kill. Poor Chu Qi was also killed by the Yue army.

Over there, the king of Chu captured Chuqi's camp, gathered the surrendered troops, and had no time to rest, so he hurriedly sent an order to the Chu army to retreat to Chu as soon as possible.Before the king of Chu's army had time to retreat, the Qingqi of the Vietnamese army appeared on the left and right sides.Seeing the situation, the king of Chu had to send an order to set up camp on the spot and stabilize the situation first.At the same time, soldiers were sent to guard the Vietnamese army, and another cavalry was sent to march towards the Chu border in order to explore the way first.

The head coach of the Vietnamese army this time was still Huangfu Nianfeng. He led [-] Vietnamese troops to outflank the Chu army in three ways.The King of Chu and Chu Qi killed each other. Taking advantage of Chu Qi's defeat, he besieged and killed Chu Qi.Then they quickly surrounded the two sides of King Chu's camp.At this time, in addition to the [-] Chu royal guards brought by him, there were less than [-] Chu troops who gathered and captured Chu chess along the way, and most of them were wounded soldiers.

The king of Chu was going to take the guards back first, but no one abandoned the tens of thousands of Chu troops. While still hesitating, the Yue army had already formed an encirclement circle around the Chu army.While King Chu ordered to take precautions, he sent a letter to Prince Chu Yu and Prime Minister Dongfang Yin who were guarding the country, asking them to quickly ask King Qi for help.Dongfang Yin got the flying book, but withheld it privately, and did not show it to the prince Chu Yu. The governors and ministers in the court were all Dongfang Yin's people. In front of the prince, they only said that the king of Chu defeated Chu Qi. You can return to court.

The king of Chu couldn't wait for the prince's reply in the camp, and saw that the siege of the Vietnamese army was getting stronger and stronger. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before his tens of thousands of troops were swallowed up by the Vietnamese army.The king of Chu was restless day and night, and even sent letters to the prince several times, but there was no response.

The army of the Qi army stationed in Vietnam was inserted between the borders of Chu and Yue, and did not take any further actions. They just stationed there and watched the development of the war.General Zhang Yankun scouted horses everywhere, kept abreast of Chuyue's situation, and then reported the situation to Prince Qi Yi who guarded Xincheng.At the same time, under the banner of cooperating to fight against Chu, the troops were sent to actively move closer to the Dali garrison in the west of Yuedi, and occupied the two cities of Yue State with half-robbery and half-robbing.

The Yue army was busy besieging the Chu army commanded by the king of Chu, and had no time to take care of the Qi army. They only wanted to defeat the king of Chu as soon as possible, wipe out the Chu army, and then ask the Qi army to leave the country.Therefore, after the Vietnamese army trapped the Chu army for a few days, under the command of the chief general Huangfu Nianfeng, they attacked the Chu army camp.There were 10,000+ Chu and Yue armies, and they fought fiercely in a vast area. The Chu army fought for days, the battalion was full of wounded soldiers, and they were exhausted. Under the strong impact of the Vietnamese army, they were immediately defeated.

When the Yue army rushed into the camp, the king of Chu knew that the situation was over. Under the protection of several generals around him, he led the royal guards and retreated desperately towards the Chu border, trying to break out of the encirclement of the Yue army.

After Huangfu Nianfeng killed Chu Qi, his whole heart was to capture the king of Chu. Seeing that the king's flag was heading towards the state of Chu, he knew that the king of Chu was going to break out of the siege, so he hurriedly ordered his general Huangfu Duan to bite him To live in the King of Chu, to see people in life, and to see corpses in death, the King of Chu must not be allowed to escape.

Tens of thousands of Chu troops were scattered and fled by the Vietnamese army, causing countless casualties.Under the protection of thousands of guards, the King of Chu rushed left and right, and was about to break out of the encirclement, but there was a Vietnamese army behind him, relentlessly biting him.At this time, the King of Chu had only less than 5000 guards around him. Seeing that there were [-] Vietnamese troops chasing after him, all of them were chasing fiercely. There was a general of the Chu Army who led a team of troops to intercept him, so that the King of Chu could escape the danger as soon as possible. territory.

The King of Chu sent several times of flying letters, but there was no news from the country. He had already expected the changes in the capital. First, the battle with Chu Qi consumed a large number of troops, and then he was besieged and killed by the Vietnamese army. Even if he fled back to Chu, the country would no longer belong to the If you control it yourself, you might as well fight with the guards around you and the Vietnamese army.Life and death are fate, it all depends on God's will.

The king of Chu sternly shouted to the soldiers around him: "The warriors of my state of Chu, my king's morals are not good enough. I didn't investigate the employment, and the Chu chess plot made chaos, which caused our Chu army to kill each other. Now ### we follow this king and fall into another trap." This dangerous place was returned to you by this king. Today, this king will never steal his life, and vows to advance and retreat with you. We will fight back the Vietnamese army in front of us, and we will return to Chu State together. If we can’t beat them, I will be with you Here to accompany the soldiers who died!"

The guards were all loyal to the King of Chu. Hearing what the King of Chu said was so tragic, they all shouted: "Swear to advance and retreat with His Majesty! Kill the Vietnamese army and escort His Majesty back to the country."

The so-called mourning soldiers must win, and the Chu army has no way to retreat. They all reported their determination to die, turned around and rushed up to meet the pursuing Vietnamese army.Huangfu Duan chased and killed him all the way, and he had already chased the King of Chu, and he was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that these Chu soldiers no longer ran away, but instead attacked head-on, rushing towards him, he couldn't help being surprised, when the Chu soldiers killed him, he was a bit surprised. caught off guard.In a scuffle between the two armies, the Vietnamese army was far inferior to the Royal Guards of Chu. In addition, they underestimated the enemy. They were rushed and killed by the Chu army, and Huangfu Duan was stabbed by a general of the Chu army. Fleeing.The Vietnamese army scattered in all directions.The King of Chu led his soldiers and continued to flee towards the border of Chu State without chasing them down.

Fleeing for dozens of miles, seeing that there were no more pursuers for a while, the King of Chu staggered and fell off his horse. The generals around him dismounted to help the King of Chu, and the soldiers quickly got off their horses and surrounded the King of Chu.I saw the blood oozing from King Chu's ribs. It turned out that in the battle just now, King Chu was attacked by the Yue army who attacked him.In order not to affect the morale of the soldiers, the King of Chu gritted his teeth and supported himself.At this time, I was out of danger for a while, my heart was relieved, the pain broke out, and I fell off the horse.

All the soldiers in this group were light cavalry, and the military doctor didn't know if he was dead or alive, and where he fled to.Several generals found cloth strips, wrapped the wound for the king of Chu, helped the king get back on his horse, and walked slowly.

After this delay, the Vietnamese army chased after him, this time it was Huangfu Nianfeng who came after him. After he sent Huangfu Duan to pursue him, he was not at ease, and he brought a group of soldiers to follow behind.Huangfu Duan was wounded and fled. Just as his uncle was catching up, the two joined forces again, and hurriedly chased in the direction where the King of Chu was fleeing. After chasing for a while, he saw the figure of the Chu army in front of him in the distance.Huangfu Nianfeng pointed in the direction of the Chu army, urging the Yue army to pursue and kill them.

The king of Chu was already in a trance at this time. He turned around with difficulty and looked at the Yue army who was chasing up. He sighed and ordered the Chu army around him to ignore him and run for their lives.Those Chu soldiers didn't say a word, they surrounded the king of Chu one after another, each with a sword, ready for the final battle.
