General Qin

The Qin army marched in the direction of Dongou with great fanfare, claiming to destroy Minyue and avenge the envoy.

The black Qin flag blocked the sky and the sun, and there were also huge boat divisions of the Qin army in the offshore area along the coastline, which looked very powerful.

The Yue people were attracted by the Qin army's actions and believed that the Qin army's main attack direction this time was the Dongou front line.

As for the northwest direction, Qin general Feng Wuze dug a mountain road. However, entering Fujian from that direction requires passing through the Wuyi Mountains. The road is steep and very inconvenient. It is far inferior to launching an attack from the Dongou front line where the terrain is relatively flat.

In addition, the Yue scouts found no trace of Qin army activities near Wuyi Mountain at the beginning of the war, so Atu Gu believed that the enemy was in Dongou after judgment.

He decisively led his warriors from the three tribes of South Vietnam and most of the Minyue people to the direction of Dongou to meet the enemy.

As for the defense near Wuyi Mountain, it was left to several Minyue tribes living there.

At the beginning of the war, the Qin army from the direction of Dongou drove straight in and moved very fast until its army encountered a surprise attack from the South Vietnamese Hornets.

After the Qin people discovered the traces of the Yue people, they immediately changed their tactics and slowed down their advance.

The marching speed of the infantry was only about five miles per day. While the Qin soldiers cut down trees along the way to widen the road, they also burned the mountains and forests from time to time to reduce the possibility of being ambushed by the Yue people.

This looks like a steady and steady progress.

As the marching speed slows down, Qin's soldiers can maintain more energy, and the distance between the front and rear armies will not be too far.

Coupled with the mutual assistance of the cloud-piercing arrows, when an army is attacked, the friendly troops in front and behind immediately rescue each other, making it very difficult for the Yue people to raid the Qin army again.

After all, they were able to repeatedly attack the Qin army in the last war. It was precisely because of the jungle environment that they swallowed up the Qin army one by one.

The Yue people are not afraid of the Qin people's blitzkrieg. What they are afraid of is crawling forward step by step like a tortoise, leaving no loopholes or opportunities for sneak attacks.

"Hmph, I don't believe you can climb all the way to the Min River like this. As long as your army is longer, there will always be a chance for me to succeed."

A Tu Gu still retained a trace of hunter's wisdom in his anger, and carefully searched for the flaws exposed by the Qin army.

Precisely because the Qin army's fighting style was very steady this time, he felt that the Qin people's main attack direction was here, and they had no intention of focusing on Wuyi Mountain on the other side.

Until the beginning of the twelfth month of the Qin calendar, a shocking news came from there.

"What! The Qin army emerged from Wuyi Mountain, and all the three nearby Minyue tribes surrendered to them?"

A Tu Gu was shocked.

According to reports from Yue people who escaped, the number of Qin troops who came over Wuyi Mountain was large, tens of thousands, under the banner of Qin generals.

This made Atu Gu shiver on the spot, and he quickly reacted.

They fell into the Qin people's trick.

They thought that the Yue people were hunters in the jungle, waiting for the Qin army, who were regarded as prey, to fall into a trap step by step, and were eventually surrounded and killed.

Little did he know that this prey named "Qin" was very cunning. He sent people here to lure them here with great fanfare. In fact, he was covering for another surprise army.

The Qin army suddenly appeared from the direction of Wuyi Mountain. Atu Gu felt fine, but at worst they would retreat to South Vietnam.

What really frightened him was the fact that three groups of Minyue people near Wuyi Mountain had defected to the Qin army.

"The general of the Qin State said that the Minyue tribes who surrendered to the Qin army can forget their past grudges. All tribes can continue to live in their original places, and the original tribal leaders can retain their wealth and status, occupy their land for generations, and govern for generations. Their people do not need to accept the management of Qin officials."

"And after surrendering to the Qin State, the Minyue people were able to trade with the Qin people and exchange local specialties for good things from the Qin State."

This news was actually the propaganda slogan of the Qin army before the war, and was juxtaposed with the policy of placing bounties on the heads of South Vietnamese.

It is a typical strategy of pulling one against one and dividing the enemy.

But the war had not yet started, and no Minyue tribe surrendered to the Qin people.

This incident did not arouse Atu Gu's alarm. He thought that it was enough to control the Minyue King Zou Wuzhu and a group of Minyue nobles, and then coerce them to order the Minyue people to go together to deal with the Qin army in the direction of Dongou. .

Who knew that the Qin army's recruitment policy was really effective? As soon as its army crossed the Wuyi Mountains, the nearby Minyue people immediately surrendered.

Some people even took the initiative to lead the Qin army to the royal city in the lower reaches of the Min River.

"A Tu Gu, this battle can't go on. The Qin people come down from the direction of Wuyi Mountain and will soon capture the Minyue King's City along the Min River. When they come to the east, they can join the Qin army in the direction of Dongou. Attack us from a flank."

The leader of the buffalo tribe, Adu, looked horrified.

Mo Tazhu, the leader of the Wasp tribe, echoed: "Yes, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. From the looks of those Minyue people, they are very dissatisfied with our control of Zou Wuzhu. If it weren't for the threat of the Qin people, they would have Just fall out with us. Now that the Qin army is moving south from Wuyi Mountain, there are people from Fujian and Yue who have joined them. Who knows if these people from Fujian and Yue will rebel later?"

A Tu Gu thought for a while with a dark face, and finally ordered: "Then we will withdraw, but we can't let this guy Zou Wuzhu go, take him away together. Otherwise, he will really defect to the Qin people and lead the Minyue people from behind. Take action against us."

"Let's go. The road back from here is much easier than the mountain road in the north. If we go faster, we can return to South Vietnam before the Qin army goes south, so as not to be blocked by them."

Because of the Qin army's move south from Wuyi Mountain, this coalition of South Vietnam and Minyue lost the will to continue fighting and began to retreat.

Qin general Yin Tong in the direction of Dongou seized the opportunity and ordered to advance.

Along the way, there were many Minyue tribes who surrendered to the Qin army and chose to join them in order to survive.

After all, in last year's war, when Feng Wuze captured Minyue, many tribes surrendered to Qin.

It's easy to live once, to become familiar again, and to surrender again.

Not only the Minyue tribes, but also the Minyue King Zou Wuzhu, who was held hostage by Atu Gu, was interested.

Under the current circumstances, the Qin people were not only oppressed by a large army from the front, but also had troops passing through from the direction of Wuyi Mountain. The outcome of this war was already disastrous for the Yue people.

Zou Wuzhu originally had the idea of ​​surrendering to the Qin State, but he was kidnapped by A Tu Gu, so he bit the bullet and joined forces with the South Vietnamese to resist.

Now that he sees the situation turning into this, he is even more dissatisfied and angry.

The South Vietnamese blocked his surrender to Qin.

"Zoupi, you secretly contact my people from Minyue and let's join forces to fight A Tu Gu. Kill these South Vietnamese and take their heads to surrender to the Qin army. Only then will we have a way to survive!"

Zou Wuzhu gritted his teeth and found an opportunity to contact Zou Pi under the surveillance of the South Vietnamese.

If you don't do it, it will be too late.

Zu Pi also had this intention and began to contact other Fujian and Yue people in private.

It's a pity that A Tu Gu is not a good person. He has already monitored Zuo Wuzhu and his cronies. As soon as Zu Pi started to move, A Tu Gu discovered this.

"What a good Zou Wuzhu. This war with the Qin people has nothing to do with our South Vietnam. It was you, Minyue, who was destroyed by the Qin people. You came to our South Vietnam crying and asking for help, saying that the Qin people were All the Yue people threatened to kill us all and occupy our land. Therefore, we South Vietnamese people agreed to your request and came to help you restore your country and resist the Qin invasion."

"I didn't expect you to want to take refuge with the Qin people now, and you also want to attack us. It's really abominable!"

More than ten miles away from the Minyue King's City, Atu Gu threw a bloody head at the feet of Minyue King Zou Wuzhu.

It was his confidant Zaibi.

Zou Wuzhu was so frightened that his whole body became weak and he shouted: "A Tu Gu, please listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..."

"Go into my belly and explain. Haha, I haven't tasted the taste of the king's flesh and blood."

Atu Gu smiled ferociously and wiped the neck of Minyue King Zowuzhu with his sword.

Until Zou Wuzhu fell to the ground and twitched, clutching his throat.

A Tu Gu turned his head and smiled at the people in Nanyue: "Before the Qin army comes, let's fight in the Minyue King's city, rob the property and then go back."
