Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

The Western Expeditionary Army has an array of nearly a thousand archers, and every wave of arrow rain will bring a large number of casualties to the Funan Army.

General Funan Pioneer decided to risk his life.

"Go ahead!"

Funan soldiers quickened their pace and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Seeing the opportunity, Gao Zhen decisively ordered to speed up the encirclement.

"Kill all the Funan rats!"

Whoa whoa whoa!
Four thousand soldiers eager to do meritorious service no longer hid their whereabouts and swarmed forward.

The Funan vanguard general who was halfway through the charge was frightened when he heard the movement around him.

Fuck, when did I get surrounded?
The opponent has already ambushed, it's over!
If you don't fight, you will die, and if you can't fight, the remnants of Funan's vanguard immediately became chaotic.

Some people rushed their heads, some were dumbfounded, some slipped away in the dark, and their morale was extremely low.

In short, those who rushed to the camp were stabbed by spears, shot by archers on the wall, and those who fled around were intercepted and chopped down by the Gao family's men who surrounded them.

After some melee, the vanguard general slays himself, nearly a thousand Funan soldiers are captured, and Gao Zhen wins a complete victory.

Ji Ling, who was watching the whole battle, lacked interest, so he gave a few words of encouragement and went back to his account for a drink.

On the nearby hills, Fan Shiman and Longyou saw with their own eyes the destruction of an army of [-] people in one day and one night, both heartache and headache.

Although the number of opponents is small, they are well-equipped, well-ordered, well-organized in advancing and retreating, and good at strategy. They are definitely difficult opponents.

Longyou weighed it over and over again, and proposed to abandon the frontal decisive battle, instead resist layer by layer, lure them to go deep, and take advantage of the favorable location of the mountains and forests to wear down the powerful enemies little by little.

Although I don't understand why the Cham people have become so powerful, but now, we can only take one step at a time.

Fan Shiman clenched her fists and finally had to humiliately admit that Funan's first adviser was right.

The next day, news came that Funan's [-]-strong army had retreated, and Ji Ling frowned.

If Fan Shiman were allowed to run away, Funan might fall into a long-term war, and he would be left in this remote village.

"Quickly find out the whereabouts of the enemy's main force!"

"Fan Li!"

Fan Li stepped out of the queue and answered with his hands raised: "The general will be here at the end!"

"Boldly advance and entangle the Funan army as much as possible."

"As ordered!"

Ji Ling looked at Gao An again: "Gao An!"

Gao An followed suit, and answered with hands clasped: "The end is here!"

"Part of your left and right wings, cover Fan Li's troops, and be ready to support at any time."

"The last will obey!"

Ji Ling looked at Gao Zhen and said, "Governor, the Chinese army must speed up its advance."

Gao Zhen faintly felt something was wrong, so he reminded: "General, Funan is cunning, you should be careful!"

Ji Ling said nonchalantly: "Yes! However, the enemy army is already frightened, and they use retreat as an advance to lure the enemy to go deep. It's a small trick."

Gao Zhen was puzzled: "Since that's the case, why did the general order the whole army to rush forward?"

Ji Ling pointed to the topographic map drawn by the secret agent, and said, "Let him do all kinds of tricks, I'll just go all the way and attack Gutlow, I want to see, what other tricks does Fan Shiman have?"

It was only then that Gao Zhen understood that Ji Ling planned to "surround Wei and save Zhao" in a disguised form, attacking the capital of Funan, which must be saved.

Well, as long as you can be careful and don't fall into the trap, it is considered quite satisfactory.

As a result, the Western Expeditionary Army began to rapidly advance towards the capital of Funan.

Gutlo is located on the gentle plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Mekong River, which is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Fan Shiman and Long You knew Ji Ling's thoughts well.As a result, the Funan people carried out guerrilla warfare, destroying roads and bridges along the way.

Fan Li, who was the pioneer of the road, had his seven orifices smoked by the people of Funan, and he had to turn into a road builder, so he couldn't get up to speed at all.

The original three-day itinerary was abruptly delayed to five days, and more than 200 people were lost.

In addition to Fan Li, Gao Zhen's left and right were also harassed by the elusive Funan people, causing casualties to each other.

On October [-]th, the Western Expeditionary Army arrived on the east bank of the Mekong River with difficulty, facing the bustling city of Gutlo.

Perhaps because there have been no wars all year round, Gutlo does not have a tall city wall, but a large group of loose bamboo and wood buildings.

In the center of the city, there are a few magnificent palaces built of huge stones, which are where Fan Shiman's palace is located. The most magnificent is the altar of the gods.

Wealth, land, and women are all separated by a river and close at hand.

Fan Li couldn't help but be moved by it.

The piecemeal guerrilla warfare could not resist the enemy's approaching the city. Fan Shiman and Longyou decided to defend along the river and defend the capital.

Of course, over the past few days, they have also figured out the composition of the Western Expeditionary Army, especially the Han army at its core.

And a lot of information came out that Xianglin returned to the Han Dynasty, and the Qu clan was wiped out.

Fan Shiman didn't know much about the Han Kingdom, but only learned from foreign traders that the Han Kingdom has a vast land and resources, a population of hundreds of millions, and a highly developed civilization. Everyone wears silk and satin, and gold is everywhere.

Therefore, he and Longyou have two guesses and one decision.

The greatest possibility of the invasion of the Han army was the instigation and instigation of the Zhan monkeys.

Or, it was some kind of misunderstanding that caused the Han army to enter Funan.

The decision was to actively defend while sending envoys to negotiate with the Han army, hoping to resolve the war peacefully.

Although neither Fan Shiman nor Long You had much hope, the priestess Liu Mian, wearing a white gauze, was willing to cross the river to negotiate on behalf of the king.

During the transformation of Funan from a matriarchal clan to a patriarchal feudal society, the "bow given by the gods" is a turning point.

The theocracy and clergy have a very high status, and Liu Mian is also a descendant of nobles in the matrilineal era.

Because Fan Shiman took all the ships on the east bank away, and it took time for Fan Li to log and build ships, Ji Ling stood at a high place on the east bank to check the defense on the other side and the layout of Gu Teluo.

Suddenly I saw a flat boat floating towards me, and after a while I landed on the shore, and then learned that Liu Mian, the priest of Funan, asked to see the general of the Han army on the order of the King of Funan.

Ji Ling sat on the saddle and met Liu Mian.

In Funan Kingdom, Liu Mian can be described as "a fish that sinks into a wild goose" and is sought after by countless believers.

White gauze is the most precious fabric in Funan Kingdom, only the priests can wear it, and it can also be regarded as Liu Mian dressed up for negotiation occasions.

Gao Zhen, who acts as a translator, is well-informed and succinctly narrates the customs and customs of Funan, which prepares Ji Ling mentally.

Although Liu Mian feels good about herself, and her appearance is indeed much higher than that of ordinary Funan people, in Ji Ling's eyes, she is still a "black girl", and the white gauze doesn't look much better than the curtains.

"Priest Liu, tell me, what are you here for?"

After hearing Gao Zhen's introduction, Liu Mian also knew that the opposite was a senior general of the Royal Navy of the Han Army.

At the same time, I also learned the cause of the war. Not long ago, Funan people plundered Xianglin, robbed and set fire to it, causing huge losses to the residents of Xianglin. Therefore, the Han army responded to the voice of the people and sent troops to attack Funan.

Liu Mian's eyes widened, and he immediately made a distinction: "The people of our country have always kept themselves safe and will never plunder and harass Xianglin. There may be a misunderstanding about this matter, and I ask General Ji to stop the war."

Ji Ling is an insider, so the so-called side quarrel is nothing more than an excuse, and those "Funan bandits" are now under the Gao family's command.

"The same rice raises all kinds of people. It's gratifying for Priest Liu to have kind thoughts in his heart, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. I'm afraid that he will suffer in the future. Besides, I was just following orders to arrest the lord of your country and the dignitaries involved in the case and go back for trial. Sorry Difficult to follow."

Liu Mian was very angry when he saw that the general of the Han army refused directly and refused to accept the negotiation at all.

"The river is wide and the undercurrent is turbulent. Our country's [-] sailors are on the alert. Is it true that General Ji doesn't care about the lives of his soldiers?"

"Hahaha!"

Ji Ling looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at the large and small boats on the other side, and said proudly: "Priest Liu, you are just a bunch of fish and shrimps, even if you have millions, you are still a mantis with a single arm. You are really overestimating your capabilities!" (End of this chapter)
