General Qin

October, the thirty-second year of Qin Shihuang.

The land of Xiou, a valley where a stream flows

There were rows of towering wooden piles, with dozens of skulls that had rotted beyond recognition. The air was filled with a stench, spreading around with the wind.

From time to time, black birds would land on the skulls, insert their beaks into the eye sockets, and peck at them.

"The Qin army has nothing to fear. Even if they wear strong armor, our warriors can still cut off their heads."

"Just like these Qin merchants who came to explore the road, the gods will enjoy their taste to their heart's content."

The speaker was a Yue man in his forties.

His hair was cut off and his face was tattooed with red animal patterns.

As he spoke, he could see the various lines on his face moving, giving him a strange and intimidating effect.

Especially with the dozens of terrifying rotting heads behind him as the background, the scene becomes even more eerie and terrifying.

More than a dozen leaders from other tribes were shocked by the rotting heads. They all lowered their heads and murmured words of prayer for God's blessing.

Headhunting and cannibalism have always been a custom among the South Vietnamese.

The customs in Xiou are more civilized. They do not eat human flesh.

But if an enemy that threatens the safety of the tribe is discovered, the Xiouyue people will headhunt the enemy.

Cut off the enemy's head and sacrifice it to your own gods.

Now, the king of Xiou, Yi Yusong, killed all the captured Qin merchants and hunted their heads to sacrifice to the gods, so as to curse the Qin people.

He wanted to curse all the Qin people who entered Yue to rot in the endless jungle. No matter how many came and how many died, they would all become fertilizer for the growth of the forest trees.

Compared with the Minyue King Wuzhu who was unprepared for the Qin army's surprise attack.

King Xiou's translation of Song Dynasty seemed to be much more resourceful.

When he sent people to sneak into Changsha County to provoke the local Yue people to rebel and kill the Qin garrison, he thought that the Qin people would send troops to attack.

Therefore, no matter how well Qin General Tu Sui concealed the news of the attack, the news would inevitably leak out after the Qin army entered the mountains and forests.

Yi Xusong soon learned about the Qin army's massive attack, and summoned the leaders of the surrounding Yue tribes to discuss an alliance.

After a ceremony to worship the gods.

Translator Xu Song spoke to the leaders again: "The Gui tribe has been captured by the Qin army, and the Qin army is approaching our homeland."

"These hateful outsiders will kill all our men, steal our women, and take our children to the north to be slaves. They will also destroy our homeland. All of us Ouyue people must unite , resist these hateful invaders together and drive them out!"

In the passionate shouts of the translator Song.

The leaders responded one after another, all showing their arms wrapped with tattoos, and shouted: "Drive out, drive the Qin people out of our Ouyue people's land!"

"Alamo!"

Translation asked Song to call his son.

This is a tall Yue young man with warm eyes.

There are no tattoos on his face yet, which means that he was trained as the heir to the king of Xiou. When he inherits his father's position, he will have corresponding tattoos on his face.

The Alamo brought the blood of chickens, dogs and horses.

Under the leadership of Yi Xusong, these tribal leaders all made blood alliances and formed a united front to resist the Qin army.

"Brave Ouyue warriors, attack!"

…

Under the timely response of King Xiou Yixu Song, the Qin army that had just defeated the Yue people in Gui tribe immediately encountered stubborn resistance from the Yue people in Xiou.

These Yue people had little defensive equipment. Many of them even fought naked, and the weapons they used to attack were very primitive.

Except for a few Yue nobles who can use bronze weapons, most Yue people hold spears made of bamboo or stone.

As for the bows and arrows, they were too crude to compare with the Qin army's powerful bows and crossbows.

But Yue people occupy the advantageous location!

Just like Tu Sui and Feng Wuze worried before the war.

These Yue people were very cunning. Seeing that they could not defeat the Qin army head-on, they hid in the mountains and forests during the day under the leadership of Yi Xusong, and only came out at night to attack the Qin army's camp.

This style of fighting made the Qin army unable to defend itself. Even at night, they did not dare to disarm and relax their crossbows. The soldiers were exhausted day and night.

In addition, the Qin people from the north had difficulty adapting to the local water, soil and climate, and their physical condition was not good. Within a month, the Qin army suffered thousands of casualties, which can be called heavy.

"These monkeys only know how to hide in the woods and carry out sneak attacks. If this continues, my army will be dragged to death here."

Tu Sui's face was ashen.

His raid plan was half successful. The Qin army seized the best time to attack and killed several large Yue tribes such as the Gui tribe and the Lin tribe in the north of Xiou in the first wave of offensive.

It's a pity that the King of Xi'ou, Yi Xusong, was on guard for a long time. He reacted too quickly and did not give the Qin army a chance to kill all the way to the King's City of Xi'ou. The Yue people from all the alliance's ministries gathered together, and now it became a hard nut to crack.

Moreover, it was much more difficult to chew than Tu Sui had thought before.

"This Yi Xusong is a smart guy. As long as this person is around, the Yue people in Xi'ou will gather tightly together, making it difficult to deal with them. If I want to attack Xi'ou, I must get rid of this person first!"

After all, Tu Sui was a veteran Qin general who was well versed in the art of war. At the same time, his five-year career as a county guard also allowed him to know a lot about the situation in Xiou, and he immediately made a strategy of capturing the thieves first.

"Bring up the prisoners of the Yue people and the Gui tribe who were captured before."

Tu Sui had some calculations in his mind and issued an order.

More than ten days later.

The king of Xiou translated the Song Dynasty and led his troops to attack a Qin army camp at night.

The Qin people in the camp resisted tenaciously. Seeing the overwhelming force of the Yue people, after nearly a hundred casualties, the remaining people formed formations and retreated. Another Qin army camp not far away also immediately sent troops to respond.

In the Qin army's camp that was breached here, the Vietnamese army who attacked at night discovered the Yue nobles of the Gui tribe who had been captured and imprisoned by the Qin army.

Guibu is named after the abundant osmanthus produced nearby.

It was the large Yue tribe in the north of Xiou that was wiped out in a sudden attack by the Qin army.

But it was precisely because Guibu and other Yue tribes blocked it that Yi Xusong was given time to react.

"King Xiou, the Qin people killed my wife and children and massacred my tribe. I hate them deeply. Please give us weapons and let us follow you to avenge the evil Qin people!"

The Yue nobles of the Gui tribe buried their heads in tears in front of Yi Xusong, and denounced the sins the Qin people had done to their tribe.

The translator asked Song to agree to this.

Facing the abominable Qin invasion, all Yue tribes became good brothers.

The king of Xiou made a promise to them: "Don't worry, in at most a year, I can turn all these Qin people into fertilizers for the mountains and forests. Let them rot here and die."

It's a pity that there is no chance to fulfill Yu Song's words.

Just two days later, the Yue nobles of the Gui tribe who had been rescued by him set a fire at night and took advantage of the chaos to attack Yi Xusong's residence.

The fire pointed the way for the Qin army, which was well prepared.

Let the Qin army deal with the Yue people and no longer need to search all over the forest.

Qin general Tu Sui mobilized a large army to encircle them, and massacred the Yue people who fled in panic, achieving impressive results.

When it dawned the next day, the sun rose high in the sky, and when the battle was over, he got some amazing good news.

The king of Xiou translated the Song Dynasty and was captured by the Qin army!

"Are you the translator Song?"

Tu Sui wore exquisite and light leather armor and a mighty heguan on his head. He looked at the King of Xi'ou who was pushed to the ground by Qin soldiers with a victor's attitude.

The translator beside him translated General Tu's words into Vietnamese.

Translator Song opened his mouth and muttered a lot.

The translator turned pale and said he did not dare to translate.

"What he said, you translate it, I won't blame you."

Tu Sui looked cold, knowing that what the other party said was not good.

The translator said tremblingly: "General, he said... He said that the general's head is really round. If you cut it off, peel off the scalp, and offer it to the gods of Yue people, the gods will definitely be happy. He said that they like to taste it the most. A round head like the general..."

Tu Sui's eyes were instantly filled with anger.

He turned his head, looked at General Shi beside him, and asked: "Since the attack on Vietnam, how many of our troops have been killed by the Vietnamese?"

General Shi said in a trembling voice: "Not counting injuries and accidents. About two thousand of our troops were directly killed by the Vietnamese."

"Two thousand people."

Tu Sui said angrily: "This is the man who led the Yue barbarians to kill two thousand of my Qin soldiers. I will chop off his head today to pay homage to the souls of these two thousand people. Pull him down and chop him off!"

Facing death, Yi Yusong, who was pulled down by Qin soldiers, kept screaming.

The translator said tremblingly: "He said that his son Alamo would avenge him, and also said that all the Qin army would die in this mountain forest."

Tu Sui dismissed it.

"The people of Xiou only have the power to stop my army because of Yi Xusong as their leader. Now that he has been killed by the general's plan, Xiou is in disarray, so why should we be afraid!"

"I will take advantage of the power of this great victory to quickly seize the land of Xiou, then march eastward to South Vietnam, and join General Feng in hunting at the Royal City of South Vietnam!"

December of the thirty-second year of Qin Shihuang.

Qin general Tu Sui planned to kill the king of Xi'ou and translated the Song Dynasty. With the power of victory, he took the land of Xi'ou by force.

And presented the good news to coach Feng Wuzechu.

Qin general slaughtered Sui and destroyed Xiou.
