"Then he fell into a trap. Why didn't this idiot hide in the stockade and wait for the enemy to freeze to death?" Black Teeth Changzhi scolded: "Did he just rush out to rescue the people who were ambushed?"

"That's not true, he's not that stupid!" Sha Zha Xiangru replied slowly: "Those Tang soldiers have a very powerful crossbow that can project stone bullets weighing several kilograms from two arrows away, and The shot was so accurate that no one could stand on the city wall! Changzhi, does it feel familiar to you?"

There was no need for Sha Zha Xiangru to remind him. Hei Te Changzhi's face turned ugly: "Are you talking about that thing you met under Sixian City?"

"Well, and that time we attempted an ambush, have you forgotten? I threw a spear through the long card and sunk deep into the trunk of the tree. I haven't forgotten it! It's those guys!"

Black Teeth Changzhi clenched his fists, anger burning in his heart. He suppressed the anger in his heart: "Why do you think those guys would leave their warm nests in winter? It's very dangerous!"

"Coming across the sea is inherently dangerous!" Sha Zha Xiangru shrugged: "They are all brave people!"

"No, brave people will not take unnecessary risks! This is in response to the actions of the Silla people!" Black Teeth Changzhi walked to the map: "Look, according to the news sent from Zhouliucheng, the envoys of the Tang State have arrived After that, the Silla people began to mobilize their troops. Obviously, this Tang army is here to contain us, so that we will not be able to support Zhouliu City!"

"Well, that's a good explanation!" Sha Zha Xiangru nodded: "But it hasn't been confirmed yet!"

"No need to confirm!"

"No need to confirm?"

"Yes, if you were Daochen, what would you do?"

Sha Zha Xiangru remained silent. Since the last time Zhou stayed in the city to help Yu Fengzhang, he appointed Gui Shi Fuxin and Dao Chen as the left and right generals respectively. They each set up flags and recruited troops, and the situation of two powerful forces standing side by side has been formed. This time, Onimuro Fukunobu asked Daochen to send troops to rescue him on the grounds that Tang envoys were coming and Silla soldiers were approaching. There was no doubt that Daochen was reluctant, but he had no reason to shirk. Regardless of the real reason for the fall of Chaichuan Gate, it gave Daochen a good reason to shirk the blame, and objectively it served the purpose of containing the Baekje troops.

Zhou Liucheng.

Oni Shiyun was wearing a pure white fox fur, a silver brooch inlaid with black jade on her collar, and a golden crown for her hair. In fact, she wanted to wear something lighter, but the chief maid who accompanied her did not agree. The reason was very simple. ——As the future Queen of Baekje, she must dress noble and behave appropriately.

When Gui Shiyun reached the steps of the balcony, she still hesitated for a moment, but when Fu Yu Fengzhang extended his right hand to her, she still walked out. Below the balcony, there were rows of soldiers lined up neatly. When they saw Buyeo Bongzhang and Ghost Room Yun wearing golden crowns appearing on the balcony, they cheered in unison, "Long live Baekje! Long live King Buyeo!" The cheers soared into the sky. Deafening.

Onimuroyun knew that the soldiers were not cheering for her, but for the man beside her, for the Baekje Kingdom that had lasted four hundred years, and for the victory they had just won against the Silla people. But she still felt very proud. She looked at the man next to her with reverence. It was he who had brought her victory.

A few days ago, the Silla people took action. They secretly built a raft in the dense forest next to a ford in the upper reaches of the Ungjin River in an attempt to cross the river secretly. However, the wood chips used to make the raft flowed along the river and were intercepted by the sentinels of the Baekje people downstream. Discover. Daochen sent troops to launch a night attack, burning all the rafts and grain stores hidden in the woods, while the Baekje people suffered minimal losses. Daochen then sent dozens of prisoners to Zhouliucheng, and Fuyu Fengzhang ordered a banquet to be held to celebrate the victory.

Oni Shiyun sat side by side with her husband, which made her face turn red, but it also made her very happy. She could notice the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, which she had not seen for a long time. The war was like a devil, sucking joy and happiness. She wished it could end one day earlier, she thought to herself.

"Ayun!" Fuyu Fengzhang lowered his voice so much that Ghost Room Yun could hardly hear it clearly.

"What's wrong?"

"Your brother doesn't seem too happy!"

Onimuro Yun looked at his brother in surprise. Fuyu Fengzhang was right. Although he smiled whenever someone proposed a toast to Onimuro Fuxin, his smile immediately disappeared as soon as the toaster left.

"It seems so!" Gui Shiyun hesitated. She knew exactly why her brother was so unhappy, but she could only pretend not to know: "Do you want me to go over and ask?"

"It's not appropriate now. You are my queen and you must sit next to me. After the banquet is over." Fuyu Fengzhang smiled and said, "I don't think he will hide it from you!"

Before Gui Shiyun could answer, she saw an officer rushing into the hall quickly and whispering a few words in her brother's ear. Gui Shifu suddenly stood up with a smile on his face and a voice like thunder: "Everyone , Daochen sent an envoy to ask for help!"

"Liu Shijun, your plan really worked!" Looking at the plumes of smoke rising not far away, Jin Famin felt admiration. Due to previous events, his first impression of the Tang envoy was extremely bad, but in his subsequent actions, Liu Rengui quickly proved his strategy.

First, he frequently mobilized the army and spread the news that he would attack Zhouliu Fortress, the nest of the Baekje Army. However, he secretly prepared ships and prepared to take the old route that Su Dingfang took when he conquered Baekje. He crossed the Xiongjin River and then went upstream to fight with the defenders of Sixian City. Convergence. In order to prevent the Tang army from supporting Sixian through waterways, Daochen built a camp on each side of the Xiongjin River, connected by a pontoon bridge in the middle, so that he could flexibly move his troops back and forth between the two sides.

After Liu Rengui carefully inspected the battlefield environment and the enemy's deployment, he decided to bluff and pretend to cross the river, and then sent a small number of troops upstream to cut down trees and build rafts. Sure enough, the Baekje people found out and sent troops to cross the river for a night attack, burning the rafts and winning a small victory. win. Liu Rengui took advantage of the enemy's dispersed forces and commanded the coalition forces to ram the pontoon bridge on the river from the fire boat and at the same time storm the camps on this side of the river. The Baekje people were caught off guard and the pontoon bridge was burned. They were unable to support the defenders on the other side and could only sit back and watch the fall of the other side. Under siege from three sides by the coalition forces, the Baekje people could not resist. The defeated troops fled to the other side along the pontoon bridge filled with fireworks. Countless people were squeezed into the Dongri River, and the river was filled with floating corpses.

"The Baekje thieves thought I wanted to cross the river, so I pretended to build a raft to cross the river and lured them to burn the raft, but I pulled out their camp first!" Liu Rengui said with a smile, "This means that if you want to take something, you must first give it to it. !”

"Liu Shijun is indeed a master of calculation!" Jin Famin said with a smile: "With this victory, the Baekje thieves have become discouraged, so will the next step be to cross the river and attack the enemy's stronghold on the other side?"
