Yue Wang Gou Jian

Chapter 29 The Battle of Zaki Lee

When the reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom arrived, the battlefield of Zuo Li was already in a mess.

The war is raging, corpses are everywhere, and the people are displaced and homeless.The Wu army took advantage of the victory and pursued, almost annihilating the entire army of Li Shoujun of Yue Guo.

"kill……"

Holding a sword, riding a chariot, and wearing black armor, King Goujian of Yue led hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the State of Yue to the battlefield ahead.

One hundred thousand people, although they used the power of the Yue State, they still lost to half of the Wu State.

"Goujian boy, the whole country is mobilized, which is exactly what I want."

Wu Wang Helu was riding a sweaty BMW, looking at the shouting reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"The king of Yue, Yunchang, is dead, and the state of Yue is in turmoil. Goujian, a child, has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has no actual combat experience. How can he be an opponent of our 20 people in Wu?"

General Sun Tzu, riding a war horse, also had an expression of victory in sight.

"General Sun Wu, do you still remember Gou Jian's practice of ambush from ten sides? This man is by no means simple, so don't take it lightly."

Wu Zixu stood on the right side of King Wu, skipped over King Wu, and looked directly at Sun Wudao who stood on the left side of Helu, King Wu.

"Zixu has always had a good eye for seeing people, General Sun Wu, let's proceed with caution."

Seeing Wu Zixu's sudden speech, King Helu of Wu was overjoyed and agreed with him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zixu didn't buy Wu Wang Helu's account, and said in a cold voice:

"Your Majesty is laughing at you. Your Majesty knows best about Zixu's blindness."

King Helu of Wu knew what Wu Zixu meant, so he stopped talking and only paid attention to the situation on the battlefield ahead.

"My Majesty, Wu's soldiers are numerous and powerful, and the [-] vanguard led by General Gufu suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it."

The soldiers who were investigating the situation in front came back and reported to Gou Jiandao.

Goujian looked at the battle situation ahead, and saw the banners with "Si" lying all over the ground. The soldiers of Yue State in black war robes were lying all over the ground, while the soldiers of Wu State in red war robes were menacing. The gunpowder smoke permeated the whole Qili, and a bunch of cockroaches grew into the chests of the compatriots.

The pale and slender knuckles clenched hard, making a "creak" sound, but Gou Jian's voice was surprisingly calm,

"A team of archers on the left and a team of cavalry on the right step forward to cover the vanguard. Everyone else, follow me!"

The retreat horn sounded in the wilderness full of soldiers' corpses.

"Retreat, everyone retreat quickly."

The Yue soldiers discarded their helmets and armor, and retreated while fighting. They retreated to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Less than half of the original [-] soldiers remained.

Tiger Leaping Gorge occupies a natural barrier, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the Wu army is still as powerful as a rainbow, but there is a natural barrier guarding it, and it will be safe for a while.

Gou Jian sat on a slightly flat stone, looking at the wounded groans around him with complicated expressions.Moaning, the soldiers lying in disorder.

"Your Majesty, drink some water first."

Fan Li came over and handed Gou Jian a water bottle.

"Fan Qing, are you injured?"

Fan Li's face was pale, and a bandage was tied around his arm. The bandage, which was originally white, was already stained red with blood.

"I took an arrow in my shoulder, it's not a serious injury, it's fine."

Fan Li's voice was still as gentle as water, like a March spring breeze blowing over this bloody battlefield, Gou Jian couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.

"Fan Qing, I'm the one who hurt you. If it wasn't for protecting me, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Goujian raised his head, grunted "gulu", and drank the little water left in the kettle in one gulp.

Gou Jian must have been extremely thirsty, and he drank poorly. Clear water overflowed from the corner of his lips, dripped down his slender and elegant neck, and seeped into his collar.

Fan Li only felt his throat tighten, and his lower abdomen felt faintly hot.

"Damn!"

At what time did he still think of such nasty things, Fan Li cursed himself secretly, turned his head away hastily, and stopped looking at Gou Jian.

"General Gufu!"

Ling Gufu's hair was disheveled, and the armor on her body was cut to pieces. Seeing Gou Jian, Ling Gufu quickened her pace, walked up to Gou Jian, knelt down and said to him

"Wu's army has a large number of people, well-equipped, and has seized the opportunity. The momentum is overwhelming. Except for me, no one in the vanguard survives. I have not completed the task, please punish me."

Ling Gufu raised her head and looked at Gou Jian, her original rebellious face had lost its former expression, and her dark eyes were filled with self-blame.

"It was because I didn't estimate the enemy's situation well enough that I killed tens of thousands of brothers in the vanguard and injured General Gufu. How can I blame you for this?"

Gou Jian hurriedly helped Ling Gufu up, seeing that he was still depressed, he said to him:

"General, please take care of your health. Our country of Yue is still waiting for you to protect us."

"My lord, Wu Guo sent two more Qingqi and one archer to Tiger Leaping Gorge. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that Tiger Leaping Gorge will soon be unable to hold on."

The soldiers who investigated the military situation came back to report, with anxious expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, let me go out and fight Wu Jun to the death."

Hearing the battle report, Linggu Fu gritted her teeth bitterly. He grabbed the pistol, turned around, and wanted to go out to defend against the enemy, but he heard Fan Li's voice saying,

"General Gufu, don't be arrogant. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we have no chance of winning if we fight hard. We have to think long-term."

"But what else can we do? The Wu army is about to break through the Tiger Leaping Gorge. This is our last line of defense. Once the Tiger Leaping Gorge is broken, our country of Yue will have no danger to defend."

Linggu gripped the gun hard, and the veins in her hand were already bursting out.

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Maybe if you capture Helu, king of Wu, we will have a chance."

Suddenly, Gou Jian's voice was heard.

"I understand what Your Majesty means, but it may not be easy to break through the Wu army's blockade and enter the enemy's camp."

Fan Li looked at Gou Jian and said.

"When marching and fighting, one cares about the word 'momentum'. As long as the momentum is broken, even if you have a million troops, you will be nothing but a loose sand."

Gou Jian said.

"Your Majesty, is there a way to break Wu Jun's momentum?"

Fan Li and Ling Gufu looked at Goujian with surprise in their eyes.At this time, the Vietnamese army was defeated, and they only had to be beaten, so how could it be possible to frighten the Wu army.

"Ah."

Gou Jian nodded, his amber eyes stared straight into the distance, with a solemn expression, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

……

"General, we are about to arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge."

The spies in front reported back to Wu Guo general Hei Yidao.

"Very good, all the soldiers, go ahead, cheer up, break through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and destroy the Yue Kingdom."

Hei Yi raised his hand and shouted at the Wu soldiers who were getting more and more fierce.

"Come on..."

The officers and soldiers of the Wu Kingdom were already red-eyed, but upon hearing the commander's order, they rushed towards Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Suddenly there was a sound of cramped drums, and the generals of Wu State stopped in their tracks, only to see a row of Yue State soldiers in front of them, holding long swords, walking towards them in unison.

Wu Jun didn't know the situation, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

I saw the soldiers from the Yue Kingdom walking up to Wu Jun and shouting in unison:

"Now Wu and Yue are fighting each other, and the ministers have violated the military order. They are not bold in the front of the king's ranks. They dare not escape punishment. They dare to turn themselves in and die."

After finishing speaking, the platoon of soldiers from Yue State all took up their long swords and killed themselves.

"Now Wu and Yue are fighting each other, and the ministers have violated the military order. They are not bold in the front of the king's ranks. They dare not escape punishment. They dare to turn themselves in and die."

The second row of Yue soldiers also walked up to Wu Jun and shouted in unison, drawing their swords and killing themselves.

Before the soldiers of Wu State recovered their senses, the third platoon was approaching them again.

"Now Wu and Yue are fighting each other, and the ministers have violated the military order. They are not bold in the front of the king's ranks. They dare not escape punishment. They dare to turn themselves in and die."

After shouting the words neatly like a password, the soldiers in the third row, like the first two rows, drank their necks and died in unison.

The soldiers of the state of Wu have been fighting for many years, but they have never seen this scene. They all watched closely and were horrified.

Taking advantage of Wu Jun's loss of consciousness, most of the troops rushed out from Tiger Leaping Gorge with momentum like a rainbow and loud shouts.

"Kill..."

The Yue army ran straight towards the Wu army, scaring the Wu army to retreat again and again.

……

"The time has come, I will break out of the siege and go straight to the Wu camp."

Gou Jian looked at the battlefield where the fight was anxiously ahead.

"Your Majesty, let me go. I have fought against King Helu of Wu many times, and I am familiar with his method of arranging troops."

Linggu heard the rumors and took the initiative to ask Ying to say.

"In that case, I will go with General Gufu, and Fan Qing will stay behind at Tiger Leaping Gorge."

Gou Jian said.

"Your Majesty, you stay, I will go with General Gufu."

Fan Li stepped forward and said to Gou Jian.

"Fan Qing, Tiger Leaping Gorge is very important to Yue, you must stay behind."

Gou Jian suddenly held Fan Li's hand, looking at him with amber eyes full of expectation,

"Before we return, I beg you to ensure that Tiger Leaping Gorge is safe and sound."

The first time he was held by those long-awaited hands, Fan Li's heart was shaken. He stared blankly at the person in front of him, wishing he could rub him into his body.

When Fan Li came back to his senses, Gou Jian and Ling Gu Fu had already rode away...

"My lord, I will guard the Tiger Leaping Gorge and wait for your return."

Looking at the back of Gou Jian going away, Fan Li put the left hand held by Gou Jian to his lips, and kissed carefully, as if he was kissing the long-awaited body.

……

"With so many patrolling guards, we can't reach King Wu's camp at all."

Ling Gufu was dressed in a black outfit, and she hid behind the woodpile with Gou Jian, looking at the Wu soldiers patrolling back and forth with torches in front of her, her face could not conceal her anxiety.

Although the dead soldiers were sent to kill themselves in front of the Wu army today, extinguishing the arrogance of the Wu army, but after all, the enemy is strong and we are weak.They must capture King Helu of Wu as soon as possible, so that the Yue Kingdom can have a chance.

At this moment, a group of maids dressed in palace costumes walked past Gou Jian and Ling Gu Fu through the pile of firewood in front of Gou Jian and Ling Gu Fu, holding plates of delicate dishes in their hands.

"Hurry up, everyone. Youshi is the king's meal time, so don't delay."

Only the leading lady turned her head and shouted to the lady behind.

"There is a way..."

Gou Jian looked at the court ladies passing by one by one, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he made up his mind.

……

"My lord, the king's dinner has been delivered."

The maids of honor stood outside the tent and stopped in their tracks.All I could hear was the leading maid speaking to the guards in front of King Helu's camp.

"go in!"

Seeing the guards let them go, Gou Jian and Ling Gu Fu, who were standing at the end of the line and disguised as court ladies, breathed a sigh of relief.

All the maids put the meals on the table, and stood in a row beside them, serving King Helu of Wu to eat.

"I didn't expect that King Helu of Wu would go out to fight, and the board and lodging would be the same as in the palace. How much does King Wu look down on the Yue Kingdom?"

Linggu saw it in her eyes, and felt a sneer in her heart.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Goujian standing on his right side, but he was stunned.

If she hadn't come with Gou Jian, Ling Gufu would never have known that the beautiful woman beside her was a man.

She has perfect crescent eyebrows, skin like creamy fat, and a tassel is stuck on the slanting flying cloud bun.Because the bun was tied in a hurry, it was not very neat, but it added a little bit of charm.

If their king of Yue is a woman, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos.

Linggu thought about it, but heard the voice of the guard outside the door saying:

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, please see me."

Ling Gufu's whole body trembled violently.

"It's Fucha! I haven't seen him since the Yue King's enthronement ceremony last time. I didn't expect him to return to Wuying."

Ling Gufu turned her head to look at Gou Jian, but she saw that Gou Jian's eyes were fixed on the door of the tent with a complicated expression.
