Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 44
"Chang Zhi, have you heard of it!" Sha Zha Xiangru lowered his voice, "It's a rumor about the left and right generals!"

"What wind?"

"Mr. Fuxin asked for help this time, in fact, he wanted to lure Master Daochen to Zhouliu City, then kill him and annex his army!"

Hei Chi Changzhi took a deep look at his friend, was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Fu Xin should not be so unwise, right?"

"This can't be said to be unwise!" Sha Zhaxiangru said with a meaningful smile: "If the strength is divided, the weak will be weak! It's better than the current two strengths standing side by side and not convinced by each other, okay?"

"The people of Tang Dynasty are a great country in the world. When they came across the sea, they won two battles and came close to the capital. The former king surrendered himself. His national power and military strength were beyond human power. The reason why we are in this situation today is not Because the people of the Tang Dynasty practiced many killings and did not practice benevolence, people thought that’s all! But people’s hearts are easy to scatter and hard to gather. Master Daochen has the merits of righteousness. If he is killed without guilt, who can’t be killed? Can’t be killed? People’s hearts are scattered , even if Han Bai returns to life, Sun Wu may be helpless, let alone Fu Xingong?"

"What you said is also reasonable!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: "But this is not something you and I can argue with!"

"That's right!" Black-toothed Changzhi sighed: "So before returning to the teacher, I want to show Tang Jun a little bit of color, at least let them know that I am not alone in Baekje!" Having said that, he looked out the window , a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The fine snow particles hit Wang Wenzuo's face, which was burning and painful. He kicked the horse's belly, drove the mount across the dry stream in front, and looked back at the marching army.In the snowstorm, the soldiers pulled the hoods of their cloaks tightly, and the snow fell on their heads and shoulders. The whiteness was like the fields on both sides of the road.Wang Wenzuo believes that most people are missing 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 approached and said.

"This is a good thing, so that the enemy will not be off guard!"

"But what if the information is wrong? If the guy is lying, the enemy's food stock is not there—"

"There is nothing if!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was as cold as snow: "I am your army leader in marching and fighting, and you are my subordinate. You must obey my orders unconditionally and return to your subordinates." go there!"

Yuan Aolie opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, he turned his horse and ran to the rear of the team.Wang Wenzuo glanced at his friend's back, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. He whipped his horsewhip vigorously, and said loudly: "Send the order, speed up the march, and you must arrive at Chaichuanzha before dark!"

Chai Chuanzha, the next morning.

The hill rises suddenly from the shoal beside the Chaichuan River, isolated and abrupt, and the Chaichuan Fence on the slope of the mound can be seen several miles away. Because the hill looks like a clenched fist, the locals call it fist city.This nickname is really worthy of the name, Wang Wenzuo thought to himself, the whole mound stands among the river and miscellaneous trees, brown rocks can be seen faintly on the white snow slope.

"Are the Baekje people's military rations stored here?" Wang Wenzuo asked, pointing to the distant city.

Gao Yan raised his head, his right eye was swollen and there was only a slit left, which was the mark left by the torture, he nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, among the villages in this area, apart from Zhenxian City , the food reserves here are the most, at least [-] to [-] shi, all of which were recently deployed to prepare for the dispatch of troops!"

"Very good, if you didn't lie, I will reward you very much!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand and asked Gao Yan to be taken down, and said to the crowd: "It's cold here, and it will be colder after the sun goes down. You can go to the enemy's stronghold to warm up!"

When the horn sounded, Chai Chuan Zha boiled because of it. Because it occupied a commanding height of more than ten miles, almost at the same time as Wang Wenzuo issued the order, Chai Chuan Zha's lookout found the group of uninvited guests. They blew the horn, and the men took He raised his weapon, boarded the wall, and stared at the slowly approaching enemy. The air he exhaled condensed into patches of white mist, and even the north wind stopped whistling for a while.The women and the old people listened attentively, and some babies were crying loudly, and immediately their mouths were gagged by their mother's nipples. In an instant, it seemed that the entire Chaichuan village was holding their breath, fearful of the coming answer.

"Sancho, tell them who we are!"

"Yes!" Sancho responded, rode his horse and ran to a place within a stone's throw of the wall, reined in his mount, and shouted loudly: "We are the master of the Tang Dynasty, and you can open the door to meet the surrender quickly, and you will be safe." The family is safe. Otherwise, when the fence is broken, there will be no chickens or dogs left, and then there will be too many regrets!"

Sancho's loud voice shook the air, his horse snorted and chiseled the ground with its horseshoes, splashing layers of snow powder. Suddenly, an arrow shot from the wall of the village landed on the snow only a few steps away from Sancho. , Most of them were submerged in the snow, and then someone shouted loudly on the wall of the village.Wang Wenzuo frowned, and asked Yuan Fei beside him, "What are they shouting?"

"They say this is the land of Baekje, not the land of the Tang people, but if you die, they will give you a piece—" At this point, Yuan Fei didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head.

"Give us a place to bury?" Wang Wenzuo laughed, looked at his subordinates around him, and said with a smile: "The tone is very hard, well, after breaking the fence, bring the shouter to me, I would like See who is buried in this field!"

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

The Tang army had a lot of experience in besieging villages. They did not rush to attack, but 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, while chopping firewood and boiling water behind, let the soldiers warm up by the fire, feed the animals, and take turns to eat dry food with hot water.

"These Tang people are too arrogant, they actually set up a stronghold outside the place where there are only two arrows!" Miao Fu, the guard of Chai Chuanzha, looked at the smoke rising from the river, with doubt and anger intertwined on his face.

"Delaying time is beneficial to us!" Lieutenant General Feiliu whispered, "It's snowing in the sky, but we are in the village, and they are in the wild—"

"No, they can't be allowed to just rest like this!" Miao Fu turned around: "You take two hundred steps out from the east gate, go around to their back, and then attack from front to back!" It snapped together, making a crisp sound.

Wang Wenzuo roasted half a horse sausage until it was half-cooked, then rolled it with a mustache, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed. The flames reflected on his breastplate, like dancing elves.Suddenly, there was a mournful blare, followed by a burst of shouts, startling a crowd of birds.Wang Wenzuo threw the remaining bit of mustache into the fire, and jumped up: "Okay, I really caught it!"
