"Changzhi, have you heard of it!" Sha Zha Xiangru lowered his voice: "There is a rumor about the generals on the left and right!"
"What's the news?"
"The purpose of Duke Fuxin's request for help this time is actually to lure Master Daochen to Zhouliu City, then kill him and annex his army!"
Hei Te Changzhi took a deep look at his friend, was silent for a while, and then said: "Master Fu Xin shouldn't be so unwise, right?"
"This can't be said to be unwise!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a meaningful smile: "Divided strength makes us weak! It's better than the two strong forces standing side by side and not being convinced by each other, right?"
"The people of the Tang Dynasty were a big country at that time. They came across the sea, won two battles and approached the capital. The king surrendered after being tied up. Their national power and military strength were beyond the reach of human beings. The reason why they are in this situation today is not Because people in the Tang Dynasty practiced a lot of killings and did not show kindness, that's all because of people's thoughts! But people's hearts are easy to disperse and difficult to gather together. Master Daochen has the first righteousness. If he is innocent and killed, who can't be killed? Can't kill? Once people's hearts are scattered, , even if Han Bai is resurrected, Sun Wu will probably be helpless after his reincarnation, let alone Duke Fuxin?"
"What you said makes sense!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: "But this is not something you and I can comment on!"
"Yes!" Hei Te Changzhi sighed: "So before returning to the army, I want to give the Tang army some color, at least let them know that Baekje is not unmanned!" At this point, he looked out the window , a cold light flashed through his eyes.
Fine snow particles hit Wang Wenzuo's face, causing burning pain. He kicked the horse's belly, drove his mount across the dry stream in front, and looked back at the advancing army. In the wind and snow, the soldiers tightened the hoods of their cloaks. Snow fell on their heads and shoulders, and the white patches were like fields on both sides of the road. Wang Wenzuo believes that most people miss the fires, huts and hot meals in the village, but now they only have cold wind, snow and cold dry food.
"Sanlang, the snow is getting heavier and heavier!" Yuan Aolie came closer and said.
"This is a good thing so the enemy won't be on guard!"
"But what if the intelligence is wrong? If that guy is lying, the enemy's food reserves are not there——"
"There are no ifs!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was as cold as snow: "I am your military leader during marches and battles, and you are my subordinates. You must obey my orders unconditionally and return to your subordinates. go!"
Yuan Aolie opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear of the team. Wang Wenzuo glanced at his friend's back, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. He whipped his riding crop hard and said loudly: "Send the order, speed up the march, and we must reach Chaichuan Gate before dark!"
Chaichuanzha, the next morning.
The hill rises abruptly from the shallows beside Chaichuan River. It is isolated and abrupt. You can see Chaichuan Gate on the slope of the mound from several miles away. Because the hill looks like a clenched fist, the locals also call it "Chaichuan Gate". Fist City. This nickname is really worthy of its name, Wang Wenzuo thought to himself. The entire mound stands among rivers and woods, and brown rocks are faintly visible on the white snow slopes.
"Is the Baekje people's military rations stored here?" Wang Wenzuo asked, pointing to the walled city in the distance.
Gao Yan raised his head. His right eye was swollen with only a slit left, which was the trace left after torture. He nodded and replied angrily: "Yes, among the villages in this area, except for Zhenxian City, , the food reserves here are the largest, at least 20,000 to 30,000 dan, which have been recently deployed to prepare for the dispatch of troops!"
"Very good, if you didn't lie, I will reward you heavily!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand and asked someone to take Gao Yan down, and said to everyone: "It's very cold here, and it will get even colder after the sun goes down. I hope it will get colder before dark. You can go to the enemy's stronghold to warm yourself by the fire!"
The horn sounded, and Chaichuan Gate was in a state of excitement. Because it occupied the commanding heights of more than ten kilometers around, almost at the same time that Wang Wenzuo issued the order, the lookout post at Chaichuan Gate discovered this group of uninvited guests. They blew the horns, and the men took the He picked up his weapon, climbed onto the wall, and stared at the enemy who was slowly approaching. The air he exhaled condensed into pieces of white mist, and even the north wind stopped whistling for a while. Women and old people listened attentively, and a baby cried loudly, and was immediately blocked by his mother's vagina. In an instant, it seemed that the entire Chaichuan Village was holding its breath, fearing the answer that was coming.
"Sancho, tell them who we are!"
"Yes!" Sanqiu responded, riding his horse to a stone's throw away from the village wall, reining in his mount, and shouted loudly: "We are the King of the Tang Dynasty. Please open the door quickly to welcome the surrender, and we will be safe." The family is safe. Otherwise, when the fence is broken down, the chickens and dogs will not be left alive, and you will regret it later!"
Sancho's loud voice shook the air. His horse snorted and dug into the ground with its hooves, splashing layers of snow powder. Suddenly, an arrow shot from the wall of the village and landed on the snow just a few steps away from Sancho. , most of it was submerged in the snow, and then someone on the wall of the village shouted loudly. Wang Wenzuo frowned and asked Yuan Fei on the side: "What are they shouting?"
"They said this is the land of Baekje, not the land of the Tang Dynasty, but if you die, they will give you a piece -" At this point, Yuan Fei did not dare to say any more and lowered his head.
"Give us a burial place?" Wang Wenzuo laughed. He looked at the subordinates around him and said with a smile: "The tone is very strong. Okay, after breaking the fence, take the caller to me. I want to Look who is buried in this field!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
The Tang army had rich experience in besieging villages. They did not attack rashly. Instead, they pushed the carts to a position about 400 meters away from the west gate of Chaichuan Village, connected the carts with iron chains, and erected long signs to form a A simple low wall was built, and at the same time, firewood was cut to boil water behind, so that the soldiers could warm themselves by the fire, feed the animals, and take turns eating dry food with the hot water.
"These Tang people are too arrogant. They actually established a stronghold outside a place with only two arrows!" Miao Fu, the guard of Chaichuan Gate, looked at the smoke rising from the river, with confusion and anger mixed on his face.
"Delaying time is beneficial to us!" Lieutenant General Feiliu whispered: "It's snowing in the sky, and we are in the village, but they are in the wild-"
"No, we can't allow them to rest like this!" Miao Fu turned around: "You lead two hundred paces of cavalry out from the east gate, go around their backs, and then attack them from both front and back!" At this point, he raised his palms with both hands. It suddenly closed and made a crisp sound.
Wang Wenzuo grilled half a piece of horse intestine until half-cooked, rolled it with biscuits, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. The flames reflected on his breastplate, like dancing elves. Suddenly, a shrill chirping sound came, followed immediately by a cry of killing, startling a crowd of birds. Wang Wenzuo threw the remaining biscuits into the fire and jumped up: "Okay, we caught it as expected!"
