LEGEND OF PRINCE OF YUE COUNTRY
THE BLACK TIGER ARMY
That morning in a vast meadow, bounded by a wide, winding river, like a giant serpent.
Seen a line of troops that form a semicircle formation, trying to survive death, from the encirclement of the opposing forces, which are very large, and look layered.
The defending troops carried two flags, the first one in yellow, bearing the letter Yue (Moon) in red ink, representing their royal name.
The second flag fluttering in the middle of the defense force, was a yellow-based flag, with a black tiger image in the center, the Black Tiger was seen biting a red sword, in its mouth.
It describes the army's march as the Black Tiger, whose name has rattled the whole country.
The black tiger army of the Yue country, for 10 years standing up to this second, had already experienced hundreds of small major wars, never once defeated.
All neighboring countries such as Chu, Han, Song, Lu. were always anxious and tired, if the Yue country had deployed their mainstay troops, to advance to the field of action.
Though the number of troops is not much, only about 30,000 personnel, when compared to the military power of the state of Chu which reached 500,000, not to mention the Han state of 300,000, the country of Song 400,000, the country of Lu 200,000.
Of course the number of black tiger troops, could not be compared with them.
But the famous black tiger army has a reputation of one member, able to fight 100 opposing forces.
In addition they also have a leader, who is nicknamed the God of the War of the Blood Sword.
He was the commander of Wen Zhong, beside Wen Zhong, there was still his wife Mu Gui Ying, who was famous for being the General of the Silver Spear.
Both of these husbands besides having martial skills, they are also very good at various disciplines of war and military strategy.
Under them were still two twin brothers, named Wei Su and Wei Sin, both of whom were disciples, as well as the ones whom Wen Zhong and Mu Gui Ying trusted the most.
While on the side of the Attackers who carried out the siege, against the Black Tiger forces, they consisted of a joint force of 4 countries, which were pIONEered by the state' Chu followed by the Han Song and Lu countries.
From the side of the joint forces they appointed Xiang Yan, who was still a young ingenious and courageous, as the leader of the joint force.
To face the Black Tiger forces, led by Wen Zhong .
The Black Tiger Army, could be cornered to this extent, this was all the wily and clever wits of Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan initially came to the Yue king, the arrogant Guo Jian, persuading him to help Chu to form the state of Xu and Ba, in exchange for the territory of the Xu and Ba states being allowed to belong to the state of Yue.
To Chu's side, they expected nothing, other than the peace treaty letters of Chu and Yue.
Xiang Yan offered Chu and Yue would forever live as good neighbors.
Even Xiang Yan promised, if the mission to kill the Xu and Ba countries succeed, he would help Yue to kill Han Song and Lu.
Chu was quite able to Han territory, Song and Lu territory could belong to Yue, if the mission succeeded.
Hearing such a very interesting proposal, King Guo Jian without negotiating with the state advisor Fan Li and Wen Zhong his military commander.
He immediately responded, regardless of the advice of Fan Li and Wen Zhong who were trying to prevent it.
Emperor Guo Jian preferred to hear the praises of Xiang Yan from Chu, and Bo Pi his other prime minister, who had already been bribed by Xiang Yan.
Emperor Guo Jian desperately set out to lead his 300,000 troops.
Together with Xiang Yan, they directly attacked the Ba country.
Without a significant resistance because the Ba state was outnumbered, Guo Jian immediately won the battle and forced the Ba state to surrender.
After conquering the Ba state, Guo Jian's confidence increased.
He immediately moved towards killing Shu, but here Shu's resistance was quite fierce, so both Shu and Yue's side suffered heavy losses.
It was at that moment that Xiang Yan with Chu troops killed Shu, as well as he tried to capture king Guo Jian and force him to surrender.
They opened the blood way of saving king Guo Jian back to the Yue country.
Guo Jian had indeed managed to survive with the rest of his troops, returning to the Yue country.
But Wen Zhong and his troops were restrained there, facing a time-stalling battle with Xiang Yan's forces from Chu.
Having always failed to break through the ranks of the black tiger army, Xiang Yan cleverly invited cooperation with the Han, Song and Lu States.
Where Xiang Yan knew exactly all along these few countries had always worried about the strength of the black tiger army.
Of course Xiang Yan's offer they welcomed well.
Thus formed an alliance of 4 countries combined forces, to hit the black tiger forces.
A fierce battle broke out, but even though they won the sum.
They still had difficulty beating an army of extremely powerful black tigers.
For that Xiang Yan once again quietly wrote a letter and sent a gift to Bo Pi.
In order for the greedy Bo Pi to help him break the ration of supplies of the black tiger army.
Bo Pi cleverly influenced King Guo Jian, to stop the delivery of supplies to the troops led by Wen Zhong.
With reason, if Wen Zhong succeeds and returns home, his prestige will rise above that of king Guo Jian.
King Guo Jian would only become the laughingstock of the people, and lose his authority.
It was not impossible that Fan Li and Wen Zhong who were good friends, would force him to abdicate.
Hearing that the king of Guo Jian became angry, he decided not to send any more supplies.
In addition, he also withdrew all the crossing ships, which had been prepared for the retreat of Wen Zhong's forces.
Without supplies and without ships for retreat, this is what makes the mighty army now cornered on the river bank.
Forward cannot, backward is impossible, they can only survive death, relying on their strength and spirit alone.
"Brother brothers, at this table is the last remnant of our provisions.."
"Please share it and spend it as much as possible.."
"I am personally very grateful to your brothers and sisters, who have been for 10 years."
"All of you have always faithfully fought your way through life with me."
"Let's all toast, think of this water as wine.."
"Reply,..!!"
Shouted Wen Zhong while raising his bowl high, facing towards his troops.
After spending the water in the bowl,
"Prlangg,..!"
Wen Zhong slammed the bowl in his hand until it shattered into pieces.
