Black Teeth Changzhi tiptoed to the stone, climbed up the stone, and watched his subordinates go around the stone. Then he jumped down from the stone as quickly as possible. He threw his short knife in mid-air and hit the fire.

The man next to the pile. Almost at the same time, another attacker stabbed hard, the blade pierced the leather cloth, making a dull sound, and fell down, but what was exposed under the loose coat was not fresh.

There was only straw bundles wrapped in linen. Hei Chi Changzhi felt cold in his heart, and subconsciously threw himself behind the stone, but the shrill sound of thunder sounded, and almost the next second, he heard a slight sound passing through his ears.

There was a sound of wind, and then he felt a heavy blow to his thigh. At the same time, he also saw the subordinate next to the fire flying back - several crossbow bolts fired at close range shot through him almost at the same time.

"The fox is trapped!" Wang Wenzuo behind the fence showed a sarcastic smile: "Light the torch and throw it out!" A dozen military slaves lit the torch wrapped in flammable materials, and then threw it out with force. The flames cut through

The night sky showed the panicked Baekje people in everyone's sight. The archers of the defenders did not waste the rare opportunity. They loosened the fully drawn bow strings and pulled the triggers. The screams from time to time showed that they

A lot of harvest.

"Mr. Lang, do you want to go out and behead me?"

"There's no need to add extra trouble!" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Let's go out to cut after dawn tomorrow! It's our luck to bring everyone back alive this time. We can't be too greedy!"

When dawn came again, there were only extinguished campfires and fallen dummies outside the camp, but the traces of blood and dragged bodies proved that what happened last night was not a fantasy.

"What a pity!" Cui Hongdu smacked his mouth: "At least seven or eight heads could be cut off, if someone had been sent out last night!"

"It's possible that a few good guys will lose their lives. It was so dark last night, anyone could die!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile.

"That's what you said!" Cui Hongdu glanced at Wang Wenzuo and suddenly smiled: "No wonder the soldiers are willing to put their lives in your hands!"

"If that's the case, that would be great!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Blow the trumpet to break camp and return to Sixian City as soon as possible!"

Si Xiang City.

"Zhenxian City has been captured by the rebels!" The messenger shouted loudly: "Guardian Gao Wendu died in battle!"

His words were accompanied by a steady "da-da-da" pause, which was the sound of snowdrops falling from his cloak and falling on the floor. The light snow mixed with rain has been falling in Sixian City for a day, and it is cold.

It was like the hand of the god of death, invisible and gentle, reaching straight into the bone marrow. Liu Renyuan pulled up his leather robe and made a gesture to ask him to step back.

"Jinhyeon City has fallen, and the land passage to Silla City has been cut off!" Marching Commander Shi Dushuang took off a small wooden block on the map representing the Tang Army: "The situation is even more unfavorable to me!"

Liu Renyuan did not answer. He walked to the brazier and sat down and rubbed his hands. The firelight dyed his thick beard and hair dark red, as if he was about to burn. After Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje, he quickly led his army back to the country, and was then captured.

He was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the March in Liaodong Road, and he separated from Qibi Heli, the Commander-in-Chief of the March in Xujiang Road, to attack Goguryeo and command the northern and western fronts.

The war. And Liu Renyuan led 10,000 troops to stay in the old capital of Baekje, waiting for the new boss transferred from the country to lead the reinforcements. Obviously after Baekje was destroyed, Liu Renyuan's southern line during the war between Tang and Goguryeo had become

A minor direction, but unexpectedly, as soon as Su Dingfang left and before his successor came, the situation in Baekje suddenly changed.

"Du Changshi, when do you think reinforcements will arrive?"

"It's hard to say! After all, it's far away from the sea. It's winter and the wind is strong on the sea, which is not conducive to sailing!"

Liu Renyuan said: "The successor should arrive first, right? Why is there no news at all?"

Du Shuang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

"Go and check the grain stores again. If you want to defend the city, you must not be careless!"

Before Du Shuang could agree, someone spread the news that the reinforcements sent to Zhenxian City had returned. This surprised both Liu Renyuan and Du Shuang. After all, judging from the departure time, the reinforcements should have already arrived.

Trapped in Jinhyeonseong.

"Are they the two battalions of Colonel Liu An Liu? How many were killed or injured?"

"Reporting to the Protector, Captain Liu's two battalions have all returned!"

"Return with the whole army?" Liu Renyuan and Du Shuang exchanged glances, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Liu An was not the only reinforcement sent to support the counties at that time, or there was no news from them.

Either there were heavy casualties, and we can't blame the incompetence of the generals. After all, the rebellion broke out too suddenly, and the rebels were all local snakes, but the Tang army was a guest army. It was obvious who would win or lose in a sudden fight. People like Liu An who could

It's very strange to be able to escape unscathed.

"Invite Commander Liu here, right away!"

"Yes, Protector!"

"Du Changshi, what do you think about Liu An?" Liu Renyuan asked in a low voice after the guards retreated.

Du Shuang was born in the Du family in Jingzhao, and was a family friend of Liu Renyuan. How could he not hear the profound meaning in Liu Renyuan's words? He lowered his voice and said: "Protector, at present, there are chaos and thieves everywhere. Wang Shi's new creation is isolated overseas. When people's hearts are shaken, Colonel Liu

It’s a good thing to be able to escape unscathed. Even if it’s just to boost morale, some things shouldn’t be delved into!”

"What Chang Shi said is true!" Liu Renyuan nodded: "But we must also give him a few words, otherwise if everyone just retreats without a fight, how can it be decent?"

While he was talking, Liu An had already arrived outside the door. Liu Ren was willing to let him in. After seeing Li, he asked in a deep voice: "Liu Xiaowei, please tell me in detail what happened along the way."

"Yes, Protector!"

On the way back, Liu An had carefully discussed with Wang Wenzuo who should be pressed by his superiors, and prepared a plan to send Tabai to discover the ambush of the Baekje people at the beginning, build a camp to defend themselves, and repel the Baekje rebels.

During the siege, he defeated the enemy's night attack during the retreat. He carefully recounted the story of his return to Sixian City, and finally said: "All the enemy's heads are captured, and I also ask the governor to send soldiers to investigate."

Liu Renyuan stroked his beard. Liu An's answer was beyond his expectation. Everything else could be faked, but the enemy's head could not be faked. This at least meant that Liu An fought with the rebels halfway.

The battle was at least a draw - otherwise there would be no way to control the battlefield and cut off the heads. The reason for not continuing to rescue Zhenxian City is also very good - if it is ten, it will be surrounded, and if it is doubled, it will be attacked. The rebels can besiege the reinforcements' camp.
