FIVE KINGS (The Five Kings)

Chapter 4

Tiong Sun Ciu who rushed to meet the entourage of King Louw who was in the middle of the trip. As soon as Tiong Sun Ciu with King Louw directly he conveyed King Cee Hoan Kong's message.

”In Cee now there is a new King, namely Prince Siao Pek who holds the title King Cee Hoan Kong.” said Tiong Sun Ciu.

When King Louw had heard Tiong Sun Ciu's remarks, King Louw Cong Kong was shocked that Prince Siao Pek was not dead. With great annoyance he said, ”Lifting a king, it should be the firstborn son! Which younger son can be made king? In short I say, I will not withdraw my army with my bare hands without results from here!”

Hearing the threat of King Louw Cong Ong, Tiong Sun Ciu hurriedly pleaded for his return home soon. Arriving in his country he will convey the words of the Louw King to King Cee Hoan Kong.

Soon Tiong Sun Ciu had arrived in the land of Cee. He conveyed what King Lauw Cong Kong had said .The news horrified King Cee Hoan Kong. He asked Pao Siok Gee.

”Army from Louw country does not want to retreat, now we have to how?”

”With the army anyway we will fight them!” said Pao Siok Gee gallantly.

Pao Siok Gee immediately issued orders to Yong Lim for him to bring the Sian-hong (Pioneer) troops forward to the battlefield. Ong-cu Seng Hu with the help of Leng Wat headed the line on the right, Tong Kok Gee with the help of Tiong Sun Ciu headed the line on the left. Pao Siok Gee himself invited King Cee Hoan Kong to lead the middle army. Cee's army consisted of 500 chariots and troops on foot. After the army is set in order, Tong Kok Gee said.

”King Louw for suspecting we have made quite strong preparations, surely he will not directly attack. I think he will definitely set up camp first in Kian-si. In that place they easily get clean water and grass for their horse food. It's a good place for soldiers to rest. I have a proposal, whether approved or not?” tong Kok Gee.

”What's your proposal? Just say!” pao Siok Gee.

”If we hide our soldiers in that place and hit them when they are not ready, I am sure they will get heavy damage.” Tong Kok Gee said.

”Yes, that's exactly what you think,” said Pao Siok Gee.

Pao Siok Gee expressed agreement on the brilliant proposal of Tong Kok Gee. He instantly ordered Leng Wat and Tiong Sun Ciu to each lead his troops. They were ordered to hide in the strategic Kian-si area. After that Pao Siok Gee still ordered Ong-cu Seng Hu and Tong Kok Gee to go elsewhere. They were ordered to attack Louw's army from the rear. Ask Yong Lim to challenge the war and lure the enemy into a trap they have prepared.

Meanwhile at the place of King Louw Cong Kong and Prince Kiu...

After walking up to Kian-si, their army stopped for a moment. At that time Koan Tiong made a suggestion.

”Siao Pek has just been appointed king, the hearts of the people have not remained true. We must immediately attack them, so that in the city there is chaos.” said Koan Tiong.

”Wait! I don't think it's any good we're in a rush,” said King Louw. ”I disagree and disagree with Koan Tiong's plan. We better set up camp here. We have to rest first.”

After saying so King Louw Cong Kong issued an order.

”Come to set up camp, you can rest!” king Louw said.

King Louw's camp was set up in front of Prince Kiu's camp. One fortress and the other separated 20 li away.

Tomorrow morning...

Scouts from Louw's army came to report.

”Cee soldiers led by Yong Lim have come to fight.”

”Now we hit the Cee army outside the city! The ones inside the city if they heard the soldiers outside had already been beaten up, must have been terrified!” king Louw said.

King Louw led his army forward with Cin Cu and Liang Cu advancing into battle. After the two armies faced off, King Louw Cong Kong shouted for Yong Lim to come out to see him.. Yong Lim hurriedly came out from within his line, he was deliberately acting hilarious.

”Hai, traitorous driver! You asked a king for me. Why did your mind change? Where is your loyalty to the country?” king Louw Cong Kong.

Yong Lim pretended to be wrong. As if he felt ashamed of being rebuked so.Yong Lim hurriedly lowered his head and continued to leave.

King Louw ruled that Co Moay should go after Yong Lim. Suddenly Yong Lim turned his chariot. He's fighting Co Moay. But having only fought a few tens of moves, Yong Lim escaped his chariot. Co Moay let out all his stoutness. He turned his Hong-tian-kek weapon in pursuit of Yong Lim.

Seeing the enemy troops chasing continue, Pao Siok Gee sent Cee's forces besieging the enemy. Finally Co Moay was surrounded in the ranks of the enemy. He tried to lunged left and right, but did not manage to escape. His body had been hit by two arrows. After exhausting energy, then Co Moay can escape.

Meanwhile Cin Cu and Liang Cu worry Co Moay wretched. They will advance to help. Just as his chariot was advancing, suddenly from the left and right halves came the sound of cannons exploding. From the two majors Leng Wat and Tiong Sun Ciu and his war troops came attacking. Pao Siok Gee also led the middle of the war troops came rampaging in the middle of the Louw country army.

Due to being attacked from three directions by the enemy, Louw's army was unable to resist. Most of them ran away to save themselves.

Pao Siok Gee issues an order arresting King Louw Cong Kong by promising a large reward for being able to do so.

The information soon spread among the Cee soldiers so much that it attracted them.

Seeing the bad news for his side, Cin Cu hastily took the flag mounted on the King Louw Cong Kong train. Yellow flag with painted embroidered letters torn down. But Liang Cu picked up the flag and he stuck it on his own carriage.

”Why did you plug King Louw's flag in your car?” ask Cin Cu.

”I hope the eyes of the enemy look wrong and think my train is our King's car!” liang Cu.

At that time King Louw Cong Kong already saw no danger threatening him. In a hurry he jumped down from the top of his carriage. He moved to a small war chariot. Disguised as an ordinary war soldier, he immediately fled. Cin Cu followed his lord. He bravely fought in order to get out of the enemy's siege.

When he saw the embroidered flag on an enemy train, Leng Wat suspected it was being boarded by King Louw Cong Kong. Immediately he signaled to his soldiers to surround the train even more.

Seeing the enemy attack so intense, Liang Cu immediately exposed his face while laughing.

”I am Commander Louw! My king has gone far!” liang Cu.

Leng Wat was disappointed and very prying, he felt cheated. He ordered his soldiers to attack Liang Cu even more fiercely. He himself immediately spun his weapon stabbing the enemy furiously.

Although Liang Cu was mighty, he could not afford to fight against such a large number of people. Plus Leng Wat is indeed the famous commander of Cee valiant. Eventually the exhausted Liang Cu was taken prisoner by Leng Wat.

Tiong Sun Ciu violently hit Louw soldiers and took their chariots and weapons.

When Pao Siok Gee saw that Cee's army had won a great victory, he ordered his men to ring the kingpin to withdraw the army.

Tiong Sun Ciu came to hand over the war chariot and the spoils. Leng Wat handed over Liang Cu whom he captured.

When this great victory was reported to King Cee Hoan Kong, of course he was very excited. He issued an order to slash Liang Cu's neck shaft. King Cee has not received word from the two armies led by Ong-cu Seng Hu and Tong Kok Gee. King Cee leaves Leng Wat and Tiong Sun Ciu to guard at Kian-si. The great army of King Cee immediately departed first.
