The bright red order sign crossed an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, and Zhang Ningtie, the left minister, blushed his face, and a word burst out from between his teeth: "Chop!" ”

Xuegao's ghost head knife was raised high, the cold light flashed, and the heads of dozens of people in a whole row were separated, and the heads rolled towards the Cangjiang River along the slightly inclined ground of the execution platform, and the body that was still kneeling on the platform was kicked heavily in the vest by the executioner, and fell all the way down with the head.

The rushing river was splashed with countless splashes, and in the crash, the corpses had disappeared without a trace.

One row was slaughtered, another row was pushed forward, the crying of the audience gradually became louder, and the commotion began to spread, and the soldiers around the execution table waved their whips and tried to maintain order under the shouts and reprimands of the officers. More soldiers raised their swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and aimed them at the people watching the execution.

The men were quickly killed, and when the rows of women, children, and children were escorted to the execution table, the crowd became more and more agitated, and rows of people rushed forward, and the soldiers in front of them began to push and shove.

From the corner in the distance, there was an angry shouting and scolding, the anger spread in the field, on the high platform, Zhang Ning saw that the people were surging forward wave after wave like the tide of the Cangjiang River, but the soldiers in front were retreating step by step, and their faces couldn't help but show a trace of panic.

"Quick, speed up." He yelled.

A lightning bolt tore through the thick dark clouds, a deafening thunderbolt followed, the wind suddenly rose, and the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, hitting the execution table, making a crackling sound, the rain fell on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered into streams of water, washing the blood stains on the execution table, and the water rolled up bigger waves with the wind, and hit the execution table with a bang.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, rows of corpses of the Luo clan fell down the river.

Outside Huai'en County, in the camp of the Yue army, Luo Yishui, who was watching the information sent back by the scouts, suddenly shivered violently, his hair stood on end, cold sweat flowed, and his heart became extremely uneasy.

Walking out of the big tent, looking up at the sky that was still raining heavily, the cool breeze on his face with raindrops hit his face, and the uneasiness in his heart was not only not extinguished by the cold rain, but became more intense.

"Gather the generals and discuss the big tent." He turned around and said to the soldiers beside him.

In the battle of Zhaoguan, although he tried his best, he was still defeated by the Qi army from the whole army, and the Qi people gathered martial arts cultivators above level 7 to form an advance team to break through the pass, and the first blow of up to 500 seventh-level martial artists landed at the pass. In this world, only Qi people have the strength to organize so many high-level martial arts masters in one battle and use them as death squads.

Zhaoguan was lost, Luo Yishui led the remnants of the army to retreat, while retreating, while constantly gathering the troops who came to support, step by step, every inch of land must be fought. But as the war deepened, Luo Yishui finally realized the mistake of such a style of play. Although he effectively delayed the advance of the Qi army, his elite army suffered heavy losses in this attack. The tactics of adding fuel not only did not finally stop the Qi army, but they were constantly bleeding the blood of the Yue people.

Realizing it, he understood that in a short period of time, it would be impossible for him to stop the offensive of the Qi people, and the only hope was that before the Qi army attacked Yuejing, he could gather more troops until he had the ability to fight to the death with the Qi army.

Exchanging space for time, this is Luo Yishui's plan.

So far, his strategy has been successful, and although a large part of the country has fallen, he has gathered as many as 50,000 soldiers for the first time since the fall of Zhaoguan, although a considerable number of them are volunteers organized by the people of various places.

Huai'en County is the battlefield he chose to fight with the Qi State, for him, it is already very close to the capital of Yuejing, a distance of more than 100 miles, reinforcements can be reached at any time, and the logistics supply is safe, and the Qi people hit here, the battle line has been stretched to nearly a thousand miles, even with the national strength of the Qi State, the logistics supply has become a considerable problem, the pace of Qi has slowed down again and again, and Luo Yishui, who feels this, is gradually at ease.

As long as the first wave of the most ferocious offensive of the Qi people is blocked, and the war is stalemate, the Yue country can wait for a turnaround, Qin and Chu definitely don't want to see the complete defeat of the Yue country, and now they can't slow down, the Yue country can only support it alone, but as long as they survive this most difficult period, the Qin and Chu countries will inevitably send troops to respond, at that time, it is the time for the Yue country to defend and attack.

Compared with the military disadvantage, in fact, what worries Luo Yishui more is the situation in the court, he has been defeated repeatedly, and he has become the main target of the impeachment of the court, and the theory of the death of the lord and faction is very loud, and the situation is developing towards the side that is not conducive to him, but Luo Yishui clearly knows that the goal he wants to achieve must require the court to work together, and the monarch and the ministers must work together, otherwise it will be defeated.

As for negotiating peace with Qi State, Luo Yishui has always been disdainful, and Qi people have the ambition to dominate the world, but any normal person knows that negotiating peace with him is just a death sentence with a reprieve. The purpose of the Qi people is just to destroy the situation of the Triple Alliance to resist Qi, and really negotiate peace with the Qi people, with the current national strength of Qi and Yue, the Yue people will inevitably lose their autonomy and become the lackeys of Qi and become the force to contain Qin, so that Qi can attack Chu with confidence and boldness.

As for the arguments held by those lords and factions, that the Qi State attacked the Chu State and could suffer heavy losses or even fail, and at that time the Yue State would seek benefits again, Luo Yishui felt that it was simply ridiculous, and the fate was not in his own hands, but he hoped that the opponent might make a mistake, which was completely ridiculous.

If you really form an alliance with Qi and fight with Qin and Chu, you are afraid that Qin's soldiers and horses will immediately attack Yue, and Yue will not be able to stop Qi, how can you stop Qin.

In the wind and rain, one after another generals rode horses, they came from all parts of the fallen country, there were regular troops of the imperial court, and there were also volunteers organized by the villagers, with different costumes and quite different combat effectiveness, but what made Luo Yishui happy was that everyone had a high fighting spirit. To defend the country, there is never a need to mobilize, and no one wants their hometown to fall into the hands of a century-old enemy.

Turning around and walking back to the big tent, standing behind the tiger case, Luo Yishui glanced at dozens of generals, large and small, "Everyone, since the Qi people invaded Vietnam, my Dayue has been defeated repeatedly, a large area of the country has been lost, hundreds of people are wailing under the iron hooves of the Qi people, and many people in the country have lost the courage to resist, and the discussion of peace is very loud, but to negotiate peace with Qi is the beginning of the fall of my Dayue country, so, in order to boost the morale of the people of the country and dispel the delusions of those surrender factions, we must use a big victory to tell all the Dayue people that we have not yet failed." Everyone, do you have the courage to fight with the Qi people? ”

"I am willing to be ordered by the general." Dozens of generals Huo Ran stood up, faced Luo Yishui, and raised their arms in unison.

"The 100,000 army of Qi invaded our Dayue, now the front is thousands of miles long, 100,000 troops are stationed in various places, and the Qi army that really advanced in front of us is only 50,000, similar to our army, but it is undeniable that the other party's combat effectiveness is stronger than ours, but we have the courage and the consciousness of sacrificing for the country, this battle is a battle of courage and perseverance, as long as we win, we can usher in a turnaround for my Dayue, even if we lose, we must also give the Qi army a heavy blow, so that we can hold on to the battle of the capital for a long time, Thus ushering in a turning point in the entire battle situation. Luo Yishui looked at the generals with blazing eyes, "So in this battle, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will never take half a step back, even if the whole army is silent, we must let the Qi people know our determination to resist to the end." ”

"Decisive battle, decisive battle!"

"Never back down!"

"Fight to the death!"

In the big tent, the roar of the generals sounded, since the outbreak of the Qiyue War, they were first defeated repeatedly, and then retreated backwards in great strides, countless anger had already accumulated in their hearts, and now the generals finally decided to fight to the death with the enemy, which aroused their fighting spirit even more.

"Okay, now listen to my military orders!" Luo Yishui pulled out the first arrow from the order tube, turned his eyes to a general under the tent, and was about to speak, but there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the big tent, and a member of the tent opened the curtain, hurriedly walked to Luo Yishui's case, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "General, the minister of the imperial court has arrived outside the camp with the holy decree." ”

"Imperial envoy?" Luo Yishui was surprised. "Who's coming?"

"General, the imperial envoy is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, accompanied by Zhang Jian, the general of the Yulin Army, and the three thousand Yulin Army." Ya Jiang looked at Luo Yishui a little nervously.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person? Luo Yishui was suddenly very excited, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came with three thousand Yulin troops, which will be of great help to the big war he is about to launch, and with His Royal Highness the Prince, the 50,000 soldiers under his command will inevitably fight bravely, this battle, even if it is not won, it will not necessarily be defeated. In this decisive battle, as long as you are undefeated, or even not defeated, you will be considered to have won. As long as the war is stalemate, all the Vietnamese people can see hope, and Qin and Chu can see their determination to resolutely resist to the end, the entire war situation will inevitably take a turn for the better.

"Let's go, follow me to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" He excitedly jumped over the tiger case and strode towards the outside of the camp, and behind him, dozens of generals were also excited, their minds were the same as Luo Yishui.

Outside the camp of the Vietnamese army, Wu Jing, the prince of the Yue Kingdom, stood under the umbrella, his hand tightly held the reins of the war horse, his face was expressionless, he was extremely reluctant to come on this trip, but the situation has developed to the present, and he has to come. Because everything is irreparable, while he is standing here, the killing in Yuejing City has already begun. (To be continued.) )
