Chapter 606: Xiang Yan shows his talents for the first time
At this time, the distant Jiangdong.
There was a fierce cry of killing, and a young boy rushed out of the formation, like a dragon emerging from the sea or a tiger descending from the mountain. The halberd in his hand was constantly waving, and the chirping sound was howling. Every time he waved, an enemy fell.
"Death." Xiang Yan's eyes were fixed on the King of Yue. The more he fought, the braver he became, his eyes became more energetic, and his body exuded a fierce aura. Wherever he passed, the enemy troops retreated.
"Your Majesty, you go first." Chang Yang ordered the left and right to protect the King of Yue, and then led his soldiers to kill Xiang Yan.
After several years of war, Chang Yang has successfully broken through to the transcendent realm, so he doesn't take Xiang Yan seriously.
"General, be careful." the King of Yue warned. Under the cover of everyone, he fled towards the ferry. There were boats there, and he could escape back to Yue Kingdom by sea.
"You are very good. Your future achievements will definitely be better than mine. If you surrender to my country, Yue, I can recommend you to the king so that you can take over my position in the future." Chang Yang looked at Xiang Yan and said approvingly.
As expected of the Chu State, there are such talented people. If you can take refuge in the Yue State, why should the Yue State be unhappy?
"Future? Haha!" Xiang Yan sneered. As he waved his halberd, his momentum was rising steadily. At the moment when his momentum reached its peak, a clear phoenix cry sounded on the battlefield, and the dozens of meters long light blade was unimpeded.
Appeared above Chang Yang's head and instantly split Chang Yang in half.
At this moment, an even greater aura suddenly came from Xiang Yan's body, and the spiritual energy from the surrounding world rushed toward Xiang Yan's body crazily. The highly concentrated spiritual energy formed a small tornado above Xiang Yan's head.
After a few breaths, Xiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, and two sharp rays of light burst out from his pupils, passing through the battlefield like two sharp arrows.
Is this the extraordinary realm? Xiang Yan murmured.
He had been trapped in the extraordinary realm before, but after killing Chang Yang, all barriers seemed to have disappeared, and he reached the extraordinary realm without any obstacles.
Xiang Yan looked at Chang Yang's corpse. The two half corpses were more than one meter apart. His face was stained with splattered blood. His eyes were full of disbelief. It seemed that he had never expected that a transcendent warrior could actually
He was beheaded by a junior.
"Kneel down and surrender without killing. Anyone who kills the Yue king will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins." Xiang Yan shouted loudly, and the drummers hammered the war drums hard, and the rumbling drums resounded throughout the battlefield.
Two Chu armies came from the south to cover up the enemy. The Chu army was so loud that it roared towards the Vietnamese army like a flood that broke a dike. In the sky, the scattered war clouds of the Vietnamese army were swallowed up by the Chu army in a moment.
Although there were many Yue troops, many of them were from the Chu state. They had no intention of becoming enemies of the Chu state. They were just forcibly recruited by the Yue state to serve as soldiers. Now that they saw that the Yue state was losing ground, they all knelt down and surrendered.
Only a few soldiers who followed the King of Yue all the way from the mountains were loyal to the King of Yue and escorted the King of Yue to escape.
"Your Majesty, General Chang Yang died in battle." Chang Yang was the bravest general in the Yue Kingdom. When fighting, he often charged in the front and retreated in the rear. He was deeply loved by his soldiers.
Seeing Chang Yang's death in battle, the Vietnamese army all felt sad, and some of the soldiers who had received Chang Yang's favor even cried.
The momentum of the Vietnamese army fell again and again, completely hitting rock bottom.
The King of Yue looked back, only to see Chang Yang's body split in half, and Xiang Yan's ferocious face heading towards him. He felt pain and fear in his heart, and did not dare to stop. Pulled by the guards, he stumbled toward the king.
Escape into the distance.
After escaping to the boat, the king of Yue relaxed.
The navy of Chu State chased for a while, but when they saw that they were getting further and further away, they had to give up.
The King of Yue was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the river flowing eastward. Various emotions such as grief, regret, and regret kept flooding into his heart.
Since the start of the army, the Yue State has been invincible in every battle and conquered every attack. In just a few years, it has unified Ouyue and restored the Yue State, fighting from the mountains all the way to the Yangtze River.
The King of Yue no longer paid attention to Chu State at all, and Zhao Guo's reminder was also forgotten.
After the high-spirited King of Yue took back all the land in the south of the Yangtze River, he held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven in a stone city by the Yangtze River.
At this time, the Chu army suddenly rushed out and routed the unprepared Yue army to a pulp, leaving them unable to fight back. Chang Yang, the only extraordinary general in the Yue Kingdom, was also beheaded by Xiang Yan in the formation. Tens of thousands of Yue soldiers were killed.
Only a few hundred people escaped.
The country of Yue was like a short-lived flower that only bloomed for a moment and then fell into silence.
"Your Majesty, take a bite." After an unknown amount of time, a guard came up from behind, holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand.
"How many people from our army have escaped?" the King of Yue murmured.
"Less than five hundred." The guard was silent for a moment and then answered truthfully.
"Less than five hundred, hahaha. Our Yue country has 50,000 troops, and now there are only less than five hundred left, hahaha..." The King of Yue suddenly stood up, opened his arms, and laughed to the sky. His hair crown fell off and fell into the water, and his messy hair was
Flying wildly in the sky.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is still waiting for you in Kuaiji. As long as we can escape back, we can definitely make a comeback." The guard advised sadly.
Once upon a time, the young King of Yue was the object of worship for all the people of Yue. But now, the beauty has faded, and everything is miserable.
"Come back... haha." The King of Yue had already figured out that the reason why he was able to reach the Yangtze River was entirely because the Chu State deliberately released water.
If the Chu State tried its best, it might not even be able to get out of the mountains, let alone the Yangtze River.
Both Chu and Zhao understand this truth, so Zhao reminds himself to be careful.
But I didn’t understand until now... If I could calmly accumulate strength in the mountains and wait for the opportunity; if I didn’t get greedy after getting Kuaiji... the situation might be very different!
The future of the Yue Kingdom was ruined by myself!
"Your Majesty, at worst we will continue to go back to the mountains. As long as you are still there, as long as we are still there, there will be hope in the future," the guard said.
"Yes, we can still go back to the mountains..." King Yue's eyes lit up, as if he had caught the last glimmer of hope, he picked up the fish soup and drank it all.

…
"A bunch of trash can't even catch up with a remnant army." On the shore, Xiang Yan pointed at several generals and yelled.
Qu Teng clenched his hands into fists, his face was ashen, and he tried his best to endure it.
If Xiang Yan hadn't come from the Xiang family, a noble family in Chu State, and dared to scold her like that, he would have punched her out.
As for Chu State's old and dilapidated ships, one-third of them had problems even before they sailed out of the water village. Why should they chase the ships of Yue State?
If the money for repairing the ship was said to have been embezzled, they would admit it even if they were scolded.
The problem is that since Chu State destroyed Yue, it felt that there were no enemies in the east and south, so it has been focusing on the north. It builds countless chariots every year and spends an unknown amount of money to buy tens of thousands of them from Zhao State.
Damn it, I didn’t allocate a penny to the navy.
Even if they want to commit corruption, they must have the money to commit corruption.
If there is no money, how can the navy build and repair ships?
Now that I think about going to the navy, I can't blame the navy. Why did I go there so early?
When he saw Xiang Yan and wanted to say something, the deputy general next to him quickly nudged Xiang Yan with his elbow.
Xiang Yan is young and does not understand the difficulties of the navy, but he knows it.
To be honest, he was surprised when he learned that the Chu Navy had not been disbanded.
"Forget it, let's go." Xiang Yan waved his hand and said. This lieutenant was sent by his father to assist him. He knew that the other general would not harm him. "The last general failed to keep the King of Yue. I hope Chun Shenjun can
smoothly."
When Xiang Yan was chasing the King of Yue, Huang Xie also took action against Chu.
Tens of thousands of Chu troops appeared at the foot of the Yue city without any warning and captured the city effortlessly.
Then, in one day, they attacked nine cities in a row, all the way to Kuaiji City.
Wen Zi quickly summoned the people in the city to defend the city, but he forgot that the Yue State occupied Kuaiji for only a few years, while the Chu State occupied Kuaiji for decades.
The common people were unsympathetic and even resentful of the Yue State. How could they wholeheartedly help the Yue State defend the city?
Moreover, the Chu army had already reached the city walls, and the king of Chu did not know whether he was alive or dead. Not to mention the newly attached people, even the Yue people who had moved out of the mountains began to feel uneasy.
Huang Xie did not attack the city immediately, but divided his troops to cut off the mountain roads where the Yue people fled.
The Chu State spent several years not just to destroy the Yue State, but to permanently eliminate the hidden dangers in the southeast, swallow up hundreds of thousands of Yue State's people, and enhance the Chu State's strength.
If these Yue people were allowed to flee into the mountains again, Chu State's troubles would become a joke.
After all roads were blocked, Huang Xie ordered his people to shout outside the city: The Vietnamese army has been defeated and the King of Yue is dead. Surrender without killing.
At the same time, pieces of bamboo were tied to arrows and shot into the city.
The Yue people, who had not been determined to defend the city, suddenly panicked. Some of them shouted to surrender, while others wanted to flee back to the mountains.
"Why run away! If the king really died in the battle, the Chu State would not just say some empty words, but would hang the king's head outside the city to frighten the Yue State. Since the Chu State is not like this
If you do, it means that the king did not die in the battle. I have sent people to send the news to the front line. No matter what, we must hold on until the king comes back." Wen Qi insisted against all opinions and could not be refuted.
After everyone heard this, they felt a lot more relieved.
Yes, if the Chu army really killed the king, they would definitely bring the king's head over. How could he talk so empty words like now?
Under the auspices of Wenqiu, the chaotic Kuaiji gradually stabilized and the city defense began in an orderly manner.
"The Yue Kingdom was not fooled! It seems that there are capable people in the city." Huang Xie frowned, "Send someone to contact the nobles of the Chu Kingdom in the city and ask them to act as internal agents."
After the restoration of the Yue Kingdom, they continued to attack the Chu aristocrats within the territory. These Chu aristocrats hated the Yue Kingdom. Now that they had the opportunity, they would not let go of this opportunity to retaliate against the Chu Kingdom.
"Jun Chun Shen..." At this time, a guest came to Huang Xie and whispered a few words.
"Bring it here quickly." Huang Xie's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that someone in Kuaiji City had contacted him before he sent someone. It seemed that the Yue Kingdom was really unpopular with the people.
"Your Majesty, be careful because it is a plan of the Yue Kingdom." The retainer reminded.
"I know it well." Huang Xie nodded.
Soon, a thin man with dark skin walked in from outside the tent. When he saw Huang Xie, he quickly leaned over and saluted.
"Lin Hai, a retainer of the Mo family in Kuaiji, pays homage to Lord Chun Shen."
The man reported his identity and name without waiting for Huang Xie to ask.
"How is Mo Chengke?" After hearing the other party's introduction, Huang Xie instantly remembered who the current head of the Mo family was.
To be honest, the relationship between Huang Xie and most of the nobles of Chu State is not very good, because Huang Xie has been helping the King of Chu to suppress the nobles of Chu State.
Mohs is no exception.
When the Chu State allowed the Yue State to occupy Jiangdong, it had the intention of using the Yue State to weaken the Chu State's Jiangdong nobles.
The nobles of Chu also knew this, but they had nothing to do.
To rebel, the strength is not enough.
They took refuge in the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom treated them even more harshly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chun Shen, but the master can eat and drink and is in good health." Lin Hai said.
"You can eat and drink... It seems that the Mo family was severely suppressed by the Yue Kingdom. No wonder he was the first one to come here." Huang Xie thought in his mind, and then asked, "Mo Cheng sent you to see me, what's the matter?"
"Jun Chun Shen, there is no need to go around the bush. The Chu State wants to retake Kuaiji. We are also willing to help the Chu State retake Kuaiji. If you have any questions, just give us your orders." Lin Hai said with a bitter smile.
"In this case, I won't spare you any detours. You can choose either of you to open the city gate from the inside to meet our army or burn down the granary in the city. After the event is completed, I will report to the king, Mo's contribution," Huang Xie said.
.
Lin Hai looked troubled, neither of these two things was easy to accomplish.
It was impossible for him to take the words back to the city and let the head of the family decide before contacting Huang Xie.
Every time he entered or exited, there was an additional risk of exposure, so Mo Cheng had already left the decision-making power in his hands before leaving the city.
No matter what choice Lin Hai makes, Mo will carry it out to the end.
"There are two granaries in the city, both of which are heavily guarded. With a small number of people, it will be difficult for us to burn down the granaries. As for opening the city gate, we will at most cause some chaos, and our Chu army can take the opportunity to attack the city." Lin Hai said.
"Okay. I promise you. The time will be tonight at midnight." Huang Xie said.
"No, the young one has resigned." Lin Hai bowed and bowed, then slowly exited the camp.
Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, the sun sets and night falls.
A group of men in black were moving quickly through Kuaiji City.
As soon as midnight came, the group of men in black roared and charged towards the city gate.
At the same time, the Chu troops who were waiting in formation outside the city heard the sound and followed the previous orders and immediately attacked Kuaiji City.
Arrow array!
Huang Xie made a move with his left hand, and the battle formation covered the Chu army. Although he was not a real commander, he could still use ordinary battle formations, and it was not a problem to cover 30,000 to 50,000 people.
The Vietnamese troops in the city were basically tough men with no combat experience. When they heard the beating of war drums outside the city in their sleep, they jumped up and looked around in panic.
What's more, they just stabbed their spears in all directions without looking at the situation.
Before the Chu army came, the Yue army itself was in chaos.
Mo's servants in the city also came to kill him, and for a while, there were shouts of killing everywhere.
"There are also Chu troops in the city. Kuaiji has been captured by the Chu troops. Let's run away." Someone said this, and the morale of the Vietnamese army, which was not firm enough in the first place, was completely shattered in an instant.
"Zhu Ying, you lead the army to ascend first." Huang Xie said to a strong man beside him.
This is the only transcendent realm warrior among his disciples, and he is deeply trusted by him.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that Mo would help Yue, Huang Xie was still very cautious and decided to send Zhu Ying to capture the city gate first before entering the city.
"Nuo." Zhu Ying said with clasped fists, leading the Chu army to kill at the gate of Kuaiji City.
"Boom!" Zhu Ying rushed to the city gate without any obstruction. He split the city gate from the middle with a sword and led the Chu army to pour into Kuaiji City.
"Your Majesty, there is no danger." After a while, Zhu Ying sent someone back to report.
Huang Xie then led the army into the city and ordered others to lead the army to surround the remaining three city gates.
The peasants of the Yue State who had just been recruited were no match for the Chu army. Within a short time, the entire Kuaiji returned to the embrace of the Chu State.
A few days later, the King of Yue finally came to a sea area north of Kuaiji, only to learn that Kuaiji had been lost. He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
After a long while, the King of Yue woke up and looked around blankly, with two lines of hot tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
The guards also knelt on the boat and cried bitterly, not knowing how to comfort the King of Yue.
"Turn south, let's escape to the south." After a while, the hoarse voice of the King of Yue sounded on the boat.
