Chapter 7 Helu commits suicide

Qingji was very brave as he went deep into the enemy's camp.

He relied on the black gold spear in his hand and his natural supernatural power. Wherever his chariot went, there was a bloody road and corpses everywhere!

Qingji was like a tireless killing machine, charging left and right, and no one could match him.

There is no enemy who can withstand Qingji's attack!

Even though Qingji swung his spear across, the opponent managed to block it, but could not withstand his great strength and power, and his weapon was knocked away, and then he was stabbed to death by the spear.

Seeing how brave Qingji was, the soldiers of Helu Army nearby were terrified and did not dare to step forward to fight Qingji.

Helu decided to go all out and decisively ordered, "Pass the order!"

"Whoever captures Qingji's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and granted the land of Hongshang!"

Helu was obviously driven into a panic.

He was well aware of the threat Qingji posed to him!

As long as Qingji dies, his army will no longer be a threat.

Helu believed that if there was a huge reward, there would be brave men, so he offered a reward of a thousand gold coins and a title of King Hongshang to take Qingji's head!

You know, this is one thousand gold coins and the fiefdom of Hongshang.

Not to mention the gold and title bestowed, the fiefdom of Hongshang is real!

As long as Qingji's head can be chopped off, even a soldier of commoner origin can be transformed into a great noble or feudal lord with a fiefdom!

"kill!"

Helu offered such a high price, which really greatly stimulated his troops.

More soldiers of the Helu Army besieged Qingji and tried to chop off his head!

But, they obviously couldn't do it.

Not to mention that there were many soldiers surrounding Qingji, Qingji's extraordinary bravery alone was enough to make them return in defeat and die one by one.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the front and rear armies had almost retreated, Qingji made a prompt decision and ordered his central army, which was responsible for covering the rear, to follow suit and evacuate.

But how could Helu just watch Qingji escape?

"Chase!"

Helu gritted his teeth and ordered the entire army to pursue.

Just at this moment, Wu Zixu, who had come to join forces with Helu, frowned and saw the trick!

"My king, wait a minute!"

"Um?"

Helu looked at Wu Zixu in confusion.

"My king, don't pursue rashly!"

Wu Zixu advised earnestly: "Although Qingji's army has fled, I see that their flags are still there and their chariot tracks are not in disarray. I am afraid they are feigning defeat and there is a trick! Your Majesty must be on guard!"

Upon hearing this, Helu couldn't help but hesitate.

Now that the golden opportunity to annihilate Qingji's army and chop off Qingji's head is at hand, how can Helu give up easily?

"Zi Xu, how can this be a fraud?"

Helu found an excuse for himself, saying: "Although the enemy's flags are still there and the chariot tracks are not in disarray, it is because Qingji's son is personally covering the rear."

"Besides, Qingji is just a common man. How could he have such a strategy to fake a defeat and attack our royal army?"

“Your Majesty…”

"No need to say more!"

"Wu Yuan, I know Qingji better than you do. Qingji is a man who disdains to use trickery and always fights with upright means! How could he use tricks?"

Helu glanced at Wu Zixu and said calmly: "I must not miss such a good opportunity!"

After saying this, Helu rode on a chariot and rushed towards the direction of Qingji's army.

Seeing this, Wu Zixu couldn't help but sigh and felt helpless!

It is true that good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.

In fact, Wu Zixu himself could not be sure whether the current defeat of Qingji’s army was a fraud!

But his keen intuition told him that things were not simple.

…

Gourd mouth.

When Helu led his army to pursue Qingji's defeated troops and arrived here, he couldn't help but feel alarmed!

The terrain here is steep and the passage is narrow, hidden and winding, making it an ideal place for an ambush.

In addition, there were no more birds flying nearby, and no sounds of birds or animals singing. How could Helu not feel uneasy?

Suddenly, the soldiers of Qingji Army, who were originally being pursued by Helu Army, turned their horses around and began to fight with the soldiers at the forefront.

Thousands of Qingji army soldiers immediately appeared on both sides of the mountain road.

They drew their bows and arrows, their eyes flashed with ferocity, and they stared at the enemies below like tigers and wolves!

At this moment, Helu felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"kill!"

"Shoot!"

Following Meng Ben's order, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush here immediately shot arrows.

All of a sudden, arrows were fired at once, flying densely from top to bottom!

“Puff, fuss!”

“Woooaaaaah!”

The soldiers of Helu army were caught off guard and shot to pieces. Their bodies were full of arrows and bloody holes. They fell to the ground and died.

Many soldiers died on the spot before they could even react!

In addition to the chaotic arrows, many soldiers of the Qingji Army also threw stones and rolling logs downwards, killing many enemy soldiers after another.

The narrow mountain path was filled with corpses of Heluo’s soldiers!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Helu shouted urgently, asking his soldiers to evacuate quickly.

But it's too late!

"kill!"

On one side of Hulukou, two thousand soldiers led by Heifu and a total of three hundred chariots were already lying there.

All the chariots were arranged in a straight line, linked together to form an impregnable line of defense.

Many soldiers of Helu's army retreated hastily, but they were all shot to death by archers on the opposing chariots.

In the panic, many soldiers of Helu Army were trampled to death!

At this moment, Helu's army has been surrounded. The left and right sides of the mountain road are full of enemy arrows, stones and rolling logs, and the exits and entrances are tightly locked!

They can't escape even if they have wings!

When Helu saw this scene, a look of dejection appeared on his face and he let out a long sigh.

"Qingji, ah Qingji, I underestimated you after all!"

"I am so angry. Why didn't you listen to Wu Zixu's advice just now?"

Helu held up his own Wu Wang sword with both hands, shook his head and sighed: "Qingji, you win!"

Helu underestimated Qingji and the price he had to pay was too high, but what Helu never expected was that it would cost him his own life.

At this point, Helu had no hope of escape!

Looking at the soldiers being slaughtered wantonly around him, Helu felt sad.

These soldiers can change their ways and surrender to Qingji!

But how could Helu surrender ?

Helu had no other choice but to commit suicide!

Rather than letting Qingji, who murdered his father, cut him into pieces, Helu thought it would be better to end his life himself.
