Chapter 211 is exhausted On the hillside, Wu Zixu knelt with a sword, his body was like blood.
There were fewer and fewer people left around him, the circle of defense was shrinking, and the defeat was only in an instant.
There was a trail behind the mountain pass he guarded, and it was from that trail that King Jiguang of Wu escaped.
Ji Guang, who was so violent that he refused to run away anymore, was forced to walk away by Bo Yan with a warrior, which was the last order that Wu Zixu gave to Bo Bei.
Now they had been fleeing for nearly an hour, and although the whole army had fled and surrendered, it seemed to him that it was all worth it.
Without the burden of this army, Ji Guang can pretend to be a civilian, avenues and trails, mountains and waterways can be chosen, as long as he can escape back to Gusu City safely, then big things may not be impossible.
Who would have thought that the Wuyuan defenders who went to the aid were actually deadly wolves, unprepared to be treated, and they were a tired army, their men and horses were already invincible, but at this time, Qingji's pursuers came from behind, and the king's men and horses defended the enemy on their backs, and were quickly cut into several pieces, some fled, some fell, the general trend is the trend, and now only he is left to cover the escape of King Wu and still hold the mountain pass.
The wounds on his body were cracked, and because of the excessive blood loss, his eyes often seemed to be floating like a black mist, and his body was chilled.
He knew that his mission was over, and the great revenge of destroying the door had been avenged, and now he had repaid his life to the king of Wu who helped him avenge him, and he could be regarded as a well-deserved death.
Those who remained with him were all warriors who swore allegiance to the death, and although these people fought desperately like crazy tigers, they were already at the end of their crossbows, and they were powerless to take care of him.
"Rushing over, Ji Guang didn't have many guards around him, I can't let him escape, we must catch him" Candle Yong shouted, swinging his spear and swinging away the oncoming sword and a fight, and rushed over in the lead, Pingbu followed closely with a group of people.
Wu Zixu was in a hurry, took a sharp breath, flew over, and was swept away by Pingbu's halberd, and hurriedly ran over.
Wu Xiangguo is now a caged beast, and his position is prominent, which is also a great merit, but compared to Ji Guang's temptation, it is insignificant.
Pingbu just wanted to capture Ji Guang at this time and make immortal achievements, where did he put Wu Zixu, who was respectful and respectful and didn't dare to breathe, in his eyes.
Another group of people rushed in, and Wu Zixu, the leader of the group, recognized Chi Zhong, and couldn't help but be furious, shouting: "Traitor" When Chi Zhong saw that it was him, he felt a little ashamed on his face, and involuntarily retreated, but a soldier next to him saw that there was an opportunity, and a sword pierced Wu Zixu's leather armor and stabbed a hole under Wu Zixu's left rib.
"Ah" Wu Zixu let out a loud shout, grabbed the blade with his left hand, swung the sword with his right hand, and slashed the head of the soldier who was crazy with a sword, and then staggered back a few steps, and another halberd stabbed him, hitting his thigh, Wu Zixu looked at it with disgust, the man's heart was cold, his hand was soft, and the sharp halberd could not be pierced anymore, only to see Wu Zixu's hand move slightly, and the man screamed strangely, abandoned the halberd and fled.
Wu Zixu couldn't help laughing, the crown strap on his head had been lost, his white hair was draped, and he was majestic, although he was covered in blood, no one dared to take a step closer.
But everyone looked at his bloody wounds and knew that this Xiangguo Lord was dying.
Wu Zixu smiled, coughing, blood overflowed from his mouth, he staggered back a few steps, fell to the ground, several nearby guards were entangled by the enemy, some people wanted to come to the rescue, only distracted, but were assassinated by the enemy at their feet, beside Wu Zixu, was a group of Qingji soldiers holding halberds and spears, surrounding him in the middle.
Several soldiers glanced at each other, and they all had the idea of grabbing merit in their hearts, and suddenly let out a shout, and invariably raised their weapons and stabbed at him.
"Hey" Wu Zixu put his sword on the ground with one hand, and said in a deep voice, looking around, the more than ten halberd spears were already up to his body, and when he saw it, those soldiers lost their courage suddenly, and they stopped their blades together.
"The head of the soldier can be exchanged for 10,000 households, who will take it" Wu Zixu shouted, and the more than ten soldiers did not advance but retreated, but took a step back in a panic.
Wu Zixu suddenly raised his hand and threw it hard, and the sword in his hand flew out, and because of this hard throw, he also fell to the ground forward.
But he had already exhausted his strength, and the sword was not strong enough and not fast, and was blocked by a soldier who hurriedly raised his shield, slammed into the shield and bounced back, falling in front of him.
Footsteps sounded in front of him, Wu Zixu raised his head slightly, and saw that the circle of soldiers who seemed to be facing a great enemy made way of a road, and a man in a black robe and cloth boots approached him.
The robe of the black robe is moon-white, embroidered with a light plum blossom pattern, and the brim of the cloth boots is also white.
Wu Zixu raised his head slightly, a black mist-like illusion disappeared, and the man's eyebrows gradually became clear, it was a Qu Lang man with a slight mustache on his lips, who looked less than thirty years old, unarmoured, and wore a long sword under his ribs.
Wu Zixu didn't recognize this person, but he could see that this person must be the main general of the Qingji Army, because since he appeared, that middle doctor Chizhong actually stood down respectfully and showed respect to him.
"Draw your sword and fight with me," Wu Zixu hissed, reaching out to grab the sword.
The man's robe moved, and the cloth boots of the black-faced and white-faced gang were gently raised, and then he stepped on the sword surface steadily, and said lightly: "The victory has been decided, why bother with the courage of the horseman."
Wu Zixu raised his head and glared at him angrily, the man's expression was calm and motionless.
Wu Zixu closed his eyes and asked in a dumb voice: "Are you Sun Wu or Ying Tao?"
"Under Sun Wu."
"I underestimated you" "But I don't dare to underestimate Xiangguo."
"Hey, so I'm defeated" Sun Wu listened to the meaning of his words, which was to say that the defeat was due to carelessness to the enemy, not that he was inferior to him in fighting with soldiers, but he just smiled slightly and did not distinguish.
Wu Zixu struggled to sit up, but he was already weak, and with all his strength, he could only turn over and look up at the sky.
Sun Wu slowly squatted down, Wu Zixu's vision gradually blurred, the Venus in front of him was spinning, dizzy, even if he closed his eyes, the whirling stars seemed to be revolving around him, and Sun Wu's voice became distant and near, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.
"The king is gone, why don't you chase it" "It's been a long time since Ji Guang left, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and I can't catch up."
"Haha, you don't want to waste any more effort."
"I just don't want to do something I didn't have a chance to do."
Sun Wu said quietly: "In fact, I expected to catch up with Ji Guang, and it would be a hard battle.
The defenders of Wuyuan have surrendered to my lord, a variable I did not anticipate beforehand. ” "You are very powerful, but I have defended this mountain pass, and you have not caught the king after all.
The king is still there, and I am not defeated."
Sun Wu's eyes were filled with respect: "Yes."
What Sangkook wants to do, it's done. ” Wu Zixu laughed dumbly: "If it weren't for each of us, maybe we would become friends."

Come, cutting off my head to sacrifice it to Qingji is also a military feat. ” His strength was getting weaker and smaller, his eyes could no longer be opened, and fatigue rose, as if he just wanted to sleep.
"Xiangguo I hero, he shouldn't die in the hands of others" In the haze, he felt that something was stuffed in his hand, and he grabbed it with force, only to realize that it was the hilt of a sword.
"Hero of the First World" Wu Zixu muttered a sentence, hearing the sound of departing footsteps, loud orders, and the sound of soldiers assembling and arranging, but all of this seemed to be the voice of another world.
The bits and pieces of the life of "a hero" suddenly came to my heart clearly, and the former soldier was also a humble son, gentle as jade; and fled alone with a blood feud, and from then on, his heart only had a hatred that could not be dissolved; fled for half his life and wandered from place to place, making the hatred in his heart thicker and stronger, and making his blood colder and colder; Zheng Guo's sinister politician, Wu Guo's ruthless Xiang Guo all the way to the madman who dug up the grave and whipped the corpse in the Chu State; And when he was dying, the last thing that flashed in his heart was the emptiness that floated through his heart at the moment when his great revenge was avenged.
The soldier said in a faint voice that he could only hear: "I, my soldier, have never been a hero.
I'm just a happy man."
He slowly crossed the sword around his neck and took a deep breath, his blood-stained fingers gripping the hilt tightly, but he didn't cut it.
The breeze ruffled his gray hair and beard, and he had already swallowed his breath "The way is slow, thirsty and hungry.
My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn."
Having already left the mountains, Ji Guang looked back at the undulating mountains and groaned sadly.
He knew that Wu Zixu of Xiangguo had no physiology, and he went to Chu with an army of 40,000 to recruit rebels and raise 60,000 troops, but in an instant, there were only more than 200 people left around him.
From joy to sorrow, from prosperity to decline, like an epiphany at midnight, the whole process is so fast that people have no time to see it clearly.
Bo Yu hurriedly persuaded: "The king, don't be sad, there are two or three hundred of us, the goal is still too big, and when we find a village in front, please deign to change the clothes of the common people for the time being, and divide us into more than ten roads, each of which is a suspicious soldier."
The minister brought more than a dozen henchmen to protect the king and sneak back to Gusu City, and at that time, we still have the strength to fight. ” Ji Guang stomped his feet, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Qingji, Qingji, if the widow doesn't cut you with a thousand knives, file the bones and scatter ashes, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the widows" "King, we have to go faster, if we are driven by the pursuers and see the path we are taking, it will be difficult to get rid of it, and the sacrifice and hard work of Lord Xiangguo will be in vain, King" In a hurry, Bo Yu pulled up Ji Guang's big sleeves, looked left and right, avoided the trail on the left, and pointed to the grassy stream on the right: "You can hide the traces by tracing the river from the water, and then land on the shore and walk through the forest to get rid of the pursuers."
Ji Guang, with the respect of King Wu, had never suffered such hardships, and the group waded up to the shallow stream deep in the shins, rushed out of more than a mile, and then jumped ashore to drill into the dense forest.
The wilderness was a dense forest where there were few people, and weeds and vines were growing, and by the time they passed through the dense forest, they were already sweating profusely, and their clothes were scraped by the branches and weeds.
Whether it is a general or a soldier, there is almost no difference in clothing.
They were very lucky, this little lake was on the side of the road, forming a small lake on one side next to the dense forest, on the other side of the road on the other side, and they could not tell what it was, they hurried to the lake to fill their fill, and then washed their heads and arms burned by the fire scraped by the branches of the mangrove trees, and then cheered up and ran around the small lake and ran onto the road.
As soon as he reached the road, he saw a group of men and horses in the distance walking here, and the Bo Yu, who had just come out of the forest and straightened his waist, was taken aback, like a frightened bird, and hurriedly said, "The king is leaving, let's escape into the forest." ” Ji Guang snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you see the flag they raised?"
Bo was so stunned that he hurriedly put his hand on the canopy and looked over there, the direction in which the team of men and horses came was the direction of the sun, against the sun, it was faintly visible that sometimes rolled up, sometimes blown by the wind The flag was embroidered with dragons.
The totem worshiped by Wu is the dragon, and the flag is mostly decorated with dragons, and this banner is clearly the army that is still loyal to the king of Wu.
At this time, the team also found that one or two hundred people were scattered in the forest in front of them, stood on the road and looked at them, immediately drew their blades, and rushed forward with a quickened pace.
"King, they, they're not not our people," a soldier said with a war of teeth.
"What" Ji Guang also wanted to tidy up his appearance, so as not to lose face in front of the ministers, he was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at it, at this time the wind was blowing, and the flag was raised, and Ji Guang saw that the picture on the flag was not a thick and mighty dragon, but a snake spitting poisonous letters.
In the Three Kingdoms of the south of the Yangtze River, the Chu people worship the phoenix, the Wu people worship the dragon, and the Yue people worship the snake.
Wu Zixu built Gusu City, and there was a snake gate among the 16 city gates on land and water.
The gates of Gusu City are all said according to feng shui, Wu takes the dragon position as his own, and the dragon plate is stable, and it is to build the plate gate.
Jing Lin's main attack on the Changmen Gate is also known as the Broken Chu Gate, expressing Wu Zixu's determination to break the Chu State to take revenge.
In addition, the north side of the Ping Gate, Qi Gate, metaphorically sweep the Qi country; And the snake gate is built in the south, and the dragon horn above the inner city court is worshipped, which means that the Yue country with the snake as the totem is suppressed.
This snake flag, could it be that this army is actually the Yue team that wiped out the defenders of Yu'er City, and then suddenly disappeared "The crossbowman quickly stepped forward, annihilated them all, don't reveal the whereabouts of our army" Gou Jian, the prince of Yue, commanded murderously with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
His army, which came to Wu to fish in the mixed waters, specially chose this unobtrusive road, avoiding the main battlefield of the battle between King Wu and Qingji, and wanted to go around behind the enemy to pick up some cheap, but he never expected that the Wu team suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was also startled at first, and when he saw that the few Wu troops were completely unguarded, and did not hide their whereabouts, just stood on the road and watched them, Gou Jian suddenly reacted: This few Wu troops did not know their identities at all, The other party is likely to be a deserter from one of the broken sides in the battle between Ji Guang and Qingji.
It was Gou Jian who ordered the immediate elimination of this small group of Wu troops, so as not to reveal their whereabouts.
In his army, he brought a team of 300 crossbowmen, equipped with all Chu crossbows.
The state of Chu has never fought with the major powers of the Central Plains in recent years, and there are some small vassal states belonging to both sides in the middle, so the sharpness of the Chu crossbow is neither understood nor paid enough attention to by the other major powers.
And Wu Yue and the State of Chu are close to the end, but they know very well the benefits and disadvantages of this crossbow weapon on the battlefield.
Therefore, Yue Guo also obtained Chu Crossbow through various channels, but Yue Guo's national strength is limited, and they can't afford to equip this kind of money-burning top equipment, and they only armed a total of 300 people.
This time, the crown prince personally led the troops into the state of Wu, and the king of Yue Yun often took care of his son, so he equipped him with this 300-person Chu crossbow team.
As soon as he saw that it was the Vietnamese army, Bo Yan pulled Ji Guang and turned around and left, and the Vietnamese army that was approaching quickly saw the Wu army in front of them all turned around and wanted to flee, and the crossbows that had been prepared in their hands were shot together, and three hundred arrows hit the plantain like rain, and there was a rustling sound when they shot into the forest, and many tree trunks were nailed to a piece, and more fell on those unlucky Wu soldiers, and a large number of Wu soldiers who had just come out of the jungle screamed and fell.
Bo Yan pulled Ji Guang to just run two steps, suddenly his shoulder shook, a huge force separated the two of them at once, Bo Yan suddenly fell on the grass, was cut by a low branch of the cheek, then a huge pain came from the shoulder, he fixed his eyes, a strong crossbow straight into the shoulder, the front shot a section, the back straight to the arrow feather, Bo Yan couldn't help but snort, a servant fell to the ground.
