Zhenpu City is only more than 300 miles away from Saigong City, and the two small countries have always been friendly, this time Feng Daiwen borrowed from the King of Funan, and the King of Funan wished that the Tang Army would leave as soon as possible, and he was more happy to find trouble with Zhenla.

The army marched slowly on the road, mainly because there were too many things, like this group of guys in the forest, but they were all a group of ordinary people, and they were suddenly able to loot the city, which was very happy, as long as they had never seen it, they could take away the valuable ones and bring them with them, and it was too much that even the gilt doors and windows were taken off and brought on, which seriously slowed down the march.

The weather in this area is really hot, it has rained almost every night since June, the roads are muddy, and it is too hot at noon, so you can only rush in the morning and evening, and the other small towns on the road are all around the city, and the small towns do not dare to provoke this huge team. It took a whole month for the army to reach the vicinity of Zhenpu City.

Feng Daiwen saw the tired "army" and had to order a day of repair.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Feng Daiwen did not want to waste time, leaving people to take care of the supplies, the Lingnan soldiers in front, and the soldiers of Xianglin County in the rear, all of them lined up outside Zhenpu City. The more than 100 siege ladders built overnight are also high enough for the Zhenla city wall, and the people of this era will have a little manual work, but they don't have so many tools, otherwise overnight, the ladders built can spread the city wall all over the side.

King Zhenla already knew about the arrival of the Tang army, and at this time he was furious in the palace, and most of the soldiers of the kingdom were sent out to attack Xianglin, but only a few thousand people fled back, and he was powerless to resist.

"Say! Now what? King Zhenla roared angrily.

The ministers all bowed their heads and remained silent, and it took a long time for one of them to whisper: "King, if you don't surrender......"

"Oh no, the Tang army is about to start attacking the city." A soldier hurried into the main hall and shouted loudly without caring about salute.

"This, how is this a good ......" King Zhenla's face turned pale, and he sat on the stool in fright.

"Surrender, my lord," said an elderly minister, who was not reserved either.

"Yes, the king surrenders! The occupation of the Dons is useless, and they will leave after a while. Other ministers also persuaded him.

"Surrender, open the city gates, and don't resist to annoy the Tang people." King Zhenla said dejectedly.

Feng Daiwen meant to force Zhenla to surrender, and he really took it into account when he sent troops, after all, tens of thousands of soldiers in Zhenla can be said to be the elite of the country, and it is estimated that there are only 10,000 soldiers in Zhenla at present, so the elite is discharged in the front, and the young and strong are in the back, all of them are lined up outside a city gate to strengthen their momentum.

The army lined up all the way outside the city, Feng Daiwen ordered to surrender, and immediately a loud voice stood outside the city and shouted, "Open the city and surrender, otherwise the army will attack the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”

The Zhenla people have seen such a neat lineup of soldiers equipped with armor, you must know that they usually fight in a chaotic rush of war.

The soldiers on the city wall had already been frightened by the army outside, but they did not dare to talk without the commander's order, so they had to hide behind the city and shiver.

Feng Daiwen saw that there was no reaction in the city, so he decided to increase the pressure, waved his hand, the desolate horn sounded, and the cowhide drum began to sound, and the soldiers stepped forward with the sound of the drum, and more than 10,000 people stepped forward, so that the city wall felt the vibration, but if you look closely, you will find that the sound is huge, but the pace is not big.

Although the soldiers in the city were afraid, they stood up at the shouting of the commander, holding the guns in their hands tightly. Seeing that the Tang soldiers had entered the firing range, they hurriedly shot long arrows, but the front row was not full body armor, and there was a large shield against arrows, the big shield was a huge wood with an iron plate inlaid on the outside, where the bow and arrow could shoot through, but it was to add some noise.

Feng Daiwen saw that he still dared to resist on the city wall, and he didn't hesitate, he ordered the arrows to be released, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill"

With the herald flag waving, the soldiers in front raised their crossbows and threw them under the command of the superiors, and the soldiers on the city wall just shot the arrows in their hands and were immediately returned to color, they did not have an iron shield, and the wooden shield was not enough to defend everyone, and some people were constantly screaming and screaming when they were shot, some soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and ran down the city, and the others were so frightened that they squatted behind the wall and did not dare to show their heads.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Under the command, the Datang soldiers kept shouting neatly, and the huge sound resounded through the sky.

The Zhenla people had to hide behind the city walls like chickens, looking at their commander in despair.

With the sound of the city gate "quack", it slowly opened, and the Datang soldiers immediately stopped shouting, looking at the city gate in unison, ready to charge at any time!

As the city gate opened, a group of apparently gorgeously dressed people walked out and were brought to Feng Daiwen by the soldiers.

"Zhenla Xiaowang and his ministers meet the general of the kingdom." The first one claimed to be the king of Zhenla, and took the lead in bending down and holding his fists above his head to salute, and a group of twenty or thirty people behind him also followed Shi Lidao: "Meet the general of the kingdom." ”

"Feng Daiwen, the general of Tang Zhenxi, has seen you, but I don't know that the king came to write a war letter?" Feng Daiwen asked slightly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Xiao Wang is here to surrender, and he is willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty." King Zhenla said in a cold sweat under the eyes of the guards.

"Hmph, why don't you dare, didn't you just send troops to attack the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Feng Daiwen snorted coldly.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, my country didn't know that Lin Yi had been returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers came back to understand that it was already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and asked the general to forgive him." King Zhenla wiped his sweat and said.

"Well, since I don't know, Ben will accept your allegiance on behalf of Datang." Feng Daiwen pretended not to be concerned and said.

"Thank you, general, thank you, general, please rest in the city." King Zhenla was pleasantly surprised to see Feng Daiwen talking so well, and hurriedly invited.

"Okay, thank you, the king, but I also want to ask the king to order your soldiers to lay down their weapons, otherwise it will not be easy to deal with a mistake." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"It should be, it should be." Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. King Zhenla didn't dare not listen, and hurriedly asked people to pass the order.

The group walked towards the city, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, Feng Daiwen immediately asked Chen Xiong to lead people to control the city gate and the two ends of the city wall.

King Zhenla watched the Tang soldiers rush to both sides with their knives, and thought that Feng Daiwen was speechless and was about to start killing, so he couldn't help but be frightened and his legs weakened.

"The king doesn't have to worry, just control the city gate, I don't want to be blocked inside as soon as I enter the city." Feng Daiwen glanced at it and explained.

"Yes, it's the general who thinks it through." King Zhenla was relieved when he heard Feng Daiwen's explanation.

When he came to the palace, he also asked Xi Junmai to guard the gate of the palace and take precautions.

Entering the palace, King Zhenla smiled and said to Feng Daiwen: "Xiao Wang, this will arrange for someone to set up a banquet to entertain the general." ”

"Hehe, thank you King, but there's no hurry to set up a banquet, let's settle an account first......" Feng Daiwen smiled, his eyes narrowed and said to King Zhenla.
