"General!"

The guard's voice pulled Yu Zijin out of his thoughts. He coughed and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Food shipments and reinforcements have arrived!"

"Oh, great!" Yu Zijin laughed: "Who is escorting this time?"

"This -" the guard hesitated: "General, why don't you go and take a look. The person escorting the shipment this time is a Japanese. No, they are escorting the food. They are Japanese. I heard that they came to reinforce Xiongjin City on His Majesty's orders. !”

"Japanese reinforcements?" Yu Zijin's heart suddenly rose. No wonder he was like this. Everyone knew that Fuyu Fengzhang came back from the Japanese country and had a Japanese wife. His ascension to the throne was inseparable from the support of the Japanese. After the death of Onimuro Fukunobu, it would be too suspicious to send a Japanese army to Xiongjin City now, right?

"Where are they now?"

"Just outside the east gate! The captain guarding the gate can't make up his mind, so he asked me to ask you for instructions!"

"Well done!" Yu Zijin nodded with satisfaction: "Come here, summon my guards and go to the east gate to have a look!"

As the breeze blew, Master Shen felt that the armor on his body was a little tight, and his chest was a little suffocating. He wanted to ask his subordinates to loosen the belt more, but he was afraid of exposing his flaws in front of the enemy who was so close, so he had to endure it. live. He couldn't help but echo what Wang Wenzuo said just now: "Since you must go, then let you go, but let me remind you in advance that the Japanese are short in stature, and you may not be able to wear their armor!" And he said nonchalantly that it was okay. , and then he forced himself to put on that golden Japanese armor and took on the task of pretending to be a Japanese general. new

"What's going on? Why haven't the defenders opened the door yet?" Shen Faseng asked in a low voice, "Did they discover some flaw in ours?"

"Captain Shen, please rest assured. Yu Zijin, who is guarding Xiongjin City, is usually the most cautious. Those who escort military rations like this always check it in person. The guard officer must have sent someone to invite him over!" Hei Te Changzhi replied.

"Check it in person?" Shen Fenseng looked at the Japanese on the left and right, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Since the Japanese were generally short in stature, in order to avoid being spotted by the Baekje defenders, half of the disguised food transport team were newly captured Japanese. Except for the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were captured at sea, the rest were carefully selected Tang soldiers who were relatively short in stature. Although Wang Wenzuo had written a bunch of empty promises to these prisoners before departure, saying that as long as they could capture Xiongjin City, they would be granted the qualifications of Tang soldiers and no longer prisoners, but after all, the time was too short. Who knew if anyone would Make trouble. As the saying goes, long nights bring many dreams. The longer you delay outside the city gate, the greater the chance of being discovered by the Baekje people.

Just as Master Shen was beating a drum in his heart, someone at the city gate asked loudly: "Where do you come from? Who is the leader?"

Master Shen heard Hei Te Changzhi's translation and nodded. A Baekje guide who came with Lian Xiong from the Monument Department stepped forward and said loudly: "We are transporting military supplies from Zhouliu City on the order of the king. The leader He is the head of the Yamato Kokumonobubu, General Bear of the Dalian Mononobubu!”

Hearing the answer from the city, Yu Zijin nodded. He had also heard of the reputation of Monobubu. It was a famous and ancient clan among the Japanese. It was strong, but it had declined a lot in recent years. Dalian was an official position of the Japanese court. He is a high-ranking official who can participate in the central committee's decisions, but a Japanese chief of this status should not be assigned to transport grain. Presumably this is an official position that his ancestors once held. It is not surprising that he uses it as part of his title. It is also very common in Baekje.

"Do you want to open the city gate?" the guard captain asked in a low voice.

"Have all the seals and deeds been inspected?!" Yu Zijin asked.

"Everything has been checked, and there is no problem!" said the captain guarding the gate: "The person who sent the seal is a fellow villager of the villain. He used to work under the Prime Minister!"

"Oh, that's no problem!" Yu Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. Although Guishi Fuxin has a great desire for power, he also has an advantage, that is, he can recognize and employ people, and he is fair in dealing with people, whether they are his own people or not. As long as there are merits, they will be promoted quickly under him. Black Teeth Tsuyuki is a good example. Although he was not a confidant of Onimuro Fukunobu at the beginning, after Daochen died, Onimuro Fukunobu also cherished him. Because of his talent, he regarded him as his confidant, which was why he was able to quickly stabilize the situation after killing Daochen.

"Finally the door is open!" Seeing the city gate slowly opening, Master Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his voice and said to Hei Te Changzhi: "Your figure is too conspicuous. Go behind and keep an eye on it, otherwise something will happen again." What’s wrong!”

"Yes!" Hei Te Changzhi knew that his body shape was different from ordinary people. He was afraid that someone in Xiongjin City would recognize him, so it was better to be careful, so he retreated to the grain transport convoy, which would be less likely to attract attention.

Yu Zijin stood on the horse path of the city gate building, observing the Japanese food transport team that was entering the city. He was sure that these people in front of him were genuine Japanese. There was no problem with this. However, he still felt that something was wrong: Yes Are their clothes and armor too shabby? This is not surprising. After many days of marching, everyone will be disgraced; looking depressed? Demoralized? There is nothing strange about this. Fighting will only benefit the nobles. Ordinary soldiers were forcibly recruited from their hometowns and dragged across the sea to fight. Damn it, their morale must be high. Many of them were injured? Could it be that he encountered Tang Jun on the road? Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? Yu Zijin realized something was wrong, and he was about to order his subordinates to be alert. Someone among the Japanese suddenly shouted loudly, rushed out of the queue, and ran towards the Baekje people on both sides.

"Damn it, these unfed Japanese dogs have revealed their secrets!" Shen Fanseng had already entered the city gate at this time. He grabbed the horn beside the saddle and blew it hard. The deep and desolate horn sound suddenly sounded over Xiongjin City. .

"Quickly, close the city gate!" Yu Zijin shouted, but his voice was suppressed by the sound of the horn. Almost the next second, the straw on the grain cart was lifted, revealing the Tang Army shooters and semi-automatic bows inside. Four "scorpions" came and fired arrows and short targets at the Baekje defenders who were caught off guard. The Tang army soldiers mixed in the Japanese crowd also drew their swords to kill the nearest enemy, and threw guns full of fire in the distance. Oil pots and torches, and soon the east gate was plunged into a massacre.

"Quickly, close the city gate!" Yu Zijin pushed away the guards who were trying to cover him, but no one could hear what he shouted. The shouting to kill covered up his order, echoing among the city walls, as if the rocks were echoing from a distance. Yu Zijin rushed to the war drum, picked up the drumstick, and stopped suddenly. An arrow shot through his shoulder. The drumstick slipped from his hand weakly. The second arrow pierced his thigh, and Yu Zijin fell down.
