"We were ambushed by thieves on the way back to the camp. The thieves attacked from three sides and deliberately left the south side, hoping to lure us to break out and then attack again. Brother Liu Wu asked us to connect the carts with chains to form a In a circular formation, the sergeants retreated into the formation and fired with crossbows and scorpions. The thieves attacked four times and were repulsed—"
"Four times? Did you remember correctly?" Wang Wenzuo knew very well the power of the "Scorpion" and the semi-automatic bow. They could repeatedly impact the lead-injected spears and arrows that were constantly flying. This was not something ordinary armies could do.
"That's right, four times in total. The first three times, they rushed into the circle formation and the white soldiers met each other. The last time, they even rushed into the formation. Brother Liu Wu had to personally lead the cavalry to counterattack and attack the enemy formation before defeating the thieves!"
"Is this when Goro was injured?"
"That's not true. The fifth brother was shot and wounded during the pursuit. At that time, an enemy general stood under the white banner and beat a drum to supervise the battle. The fifth brother said that he was a noble chief among the thieves. As long as he was killed, the thieves would be strong. Only by disintegrating, can everyone survive. In the melee, he was shot by the bandit chief's guard and fell from his horse!"
"What about the thief chief?"
"Escaped, but the white deer cap was brought back!"
Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo already knew the general situation. The situation must have been extremely critical at that time. Liu An had to personally lead the elite to attack the enemy's leader to capture the thief first. Although the enemy general escaped, his command system was also defeated. Seeing that the situation was not good, other enemy troops also fled one after another. The Tang army was also in extremely danger of winning.
"Your lives were all bought by Wu Lang with his own life!" Wang Wenzuo sighed, walked to Liu An and knelt down, grabbed the other person's hand with both hands, and whispered: "Fifth brother, what else do you have to do? If you can't let it go, Wen Zuo will do it for you even if it means risking his own life!"
A smile appeared on Liu An's lips: "You guy..., can't you just show your panic in front of me once? Tell me it's okay and everything will be fine!"
Wang Wenzuo held his hand tightly and squeezed it hard, as if he was holding on to the passing life: "I don't want to do this either, but there is no way, someone has to pick up the burden!"
"You're right, yes! Someone has to pick up the burden. This person used to be me, but now it's you!" Liu An exhaled a long breath, and his facial muscles suddenly twitched: "It really hurts! My time is going to be lost. Here we are, Saburo, don't be sad. As a warrior, it is your duty to die on the horse. However, I failed to take the life of the enemy general under the cover of the white flag. Instead, I was shot and wounded by his guard. It is really a pity. Please take it off for me. That guy’s head——”
At this point, Liu An's body suddenly went through a violent spasm, as if a bowstring that had been stretched to its limit suddenly broke. Wang Wenzuo stretched out his right hand, gently touched the eyes of the deceased, and closed his wide eyes: "Fifth brother, please don't worry, even if the thief general under the white command fled to the ends of the world, I will chase him to the ends of the world and take him." His head should be presented to the grave!"
————————————————————————
Rencun Mountain City.
Fuyu Tadakatsu grabbed the bottle and poured it into his mouth, but more was spilled on his body than flowed into his throat. There was nothing he could do. His hands were shaking worse than an eighty-year-old man, and he couldn't even hold the mouth of the bottle to his. I can't even say it accurately. Suddenly, the bottle slipped from his hand and shattered. The sound alerted the maid at the door. She stuck her head out to take a look, then quickly retracted.
"You bastard, come on, come on, get the wine, come on, get the wine!"
The maid returned quickly and ran out of the door as soon as she put down the bottle. It seemed that Fuyu Zhongsheng had leprosy. Fuyu Zhongsheng cursed loudly, grabbed the wine bottle, and drank heavily. This time he finally didn't break the bottle. As more and more wine filled his stomach and seeped into his blood vessels, the trembling of his body gradually subsided, but the pain became even worse. As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene at that time Just before his eyes, those Tang Army knights seemed to be going crazy, rushing up the hillside and rushing towards him. Arrows, swords, spears, shields, and people could not stop him. For the first time, he felt that death was so close to him.
He should have pulled out the steel knife and fought with him like a warrior, but fear seemed to grab his arm like a pair of invisible hands, preventing him from moving. If a guard hadn't rushed forward, he would have been pierced by a spear and nailed under the white robe. Thinking of the white robe, Fuyu Tadakatsu felt even more painful: that white robe was made of Made of white horse mane, it was given to him by Fuyu Fengzhang. As a symbol of the country's prime minister, he was taken away by the people of the Tang Dynasty. All the glory turned into shame and was smeared on his face.
The maid's head appeared at the door. She looked carefully, as if to confirm whether she needed to bring in more wine. At this time, the power of alcohol had already taken effect on Fuyu Zhongsheng. He felt that a strange thing began to appear in front of his eyes, and his ears also heard some strange sounds, which seemed to be saying something, and seemed to be laughing at himself. Fuyu Zhongsheng felt an inexplicable anger and shouted at the thing: "You are so brave, how dare you look down on me! I am the king's younger brother of Baekje Kingdom, no, I am the king's uncle of Baekje Kingdom, I You are the Prime Minister of the country, if you dare to disrespect me, I will kill you!" After saying this, he stood up suddenly, pulled out the waist knife placed aside, and chopped it down like a monster in front of him. Fuyu Tadakatsu vaguely heard a scream, and something seemed to be cut on his hand. His feet went soft, and he fell to the ground and started snoring.
The maid covered her arm and ran away in panic. Blood was gushing out from the wound. As she ran, she shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister is evil, the Prime Minister is evil!" Suddenly a powerful hand came out from around the corner. He grabbed it with his hand: "What are you shouting about? And what's the matter with the injury on your arm?"
The maid recognized the person and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "General Shazha, the Prime Minister is really crazy. When he comes back this time, he is completely different. He doesn't go anywhere. He just stays in the room drinking alone. See The man's eyes were different, straight and scary. I just entered and wanted to tell him that the reinforcements from Zhouliucheng had arrived, and the general of the reinforcements asked to see him. He pulled out his sword and slashed at me, and said that he was the king's brother. , Uncle Wang, etc., isn’t this crazy?”
"Uncle Wang? Brother Wang?" Of course Sha Zha Xiangru knew that. He sighed: "I know it all. The Prime Minister didn't call Uncle Wang or Brother Wang. He was going east to west. You heard it wrong. Yes. You have been wounded by a knife, go to a doctor for treatment, and then I will reward you with five pieces of cloth, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense about what just happened, do you understand?"
At this time, the maid also understood and hurriedly lowered her head: "I did misunderstood just now, general, please forgive me!"
