Prologue to the 446 battle
The fourth day of November, early in the morning.
The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board, and treating all living beings as fish and meat; Thousands of miles of snow will make the firmament a furnace, and melt everything into silver.
After a busy day, the children of the various tribes brought by Su You from Southeast Asia finally understood what the real cold was; Fortunately, they were wearing cotton clothes or down jackets that Su You had prepared a long time ago, otherwise they would definitely not be able to sleep peacefully in this foreign country.
They had not worked for three months, and they had finally exhausted all their strength the day before, so it was impossible for them to sleep restlessly.
At this time, more than ten ships of food and clothing brought by Su You from Southeast Asia had been emptied, but it was still far from enough to relieve the civilians of Sizhu City and the nearby victims who had been looted by the Koreans.
A Goryeo army that had plundered the fortress of Baekje had already formed a siege of Silla's Mourning Fortress yesterday, and the two forces attacking the capital of Silla, Geumseong, would soon join forces.
The scouts of the Goryeo army units reached the moat outside the west gate of Jinseong first.
Due to the heavy snowfall, the surface of the moat at this time had long been frozen, and more than a dozen Goryeo scouts crawled on the solid ice on the river, crawling to the opposite bank.
At this time, there was about an hour before dawn, and the inhabitants of Jincheng were in the sweetest dreams; Even the soldiers who patrolled back and forth in the city were listless and wanted to take a nap for a while.
The night before dawn was silent, except for the occasional wind and the "beep" of burning torches.
A soldier who was awakened by a nightmare, finally calmed down and suddenly heard the sound of Goryeo scouts crawling outside the city, and immediately shouted, "Oh no, there are people under the city!" I have heard their coming! ”
Eight days ago, Baekje Castle had fallen, and Silla had already received definite news a few days earlier; It is precisely because of this that the patrol of the city of Jincheng has been strengthened.
The patrolling soldiers were not convinced that the Koreans would attack Silla in such bad weather, but they remained quite vigilant.
The soldier's shout suddenly woke up several of his sleepy colleagues around him, and they reluctantly got up and looked down at the dark city, but where could they see anything?
"Just your kid was shocked, where is there anyone outside?"
"Sleep well, the Koreans can't come so quickly, but in a few days, it will be difficult to get a good night's sleep while patrolling."
"Are you stunned? Goryeo people don't have to sleep at this point? ”
Several of them were reprimanded by the startled soldiers, while others continued to close their eyes and recuperate.
Sneered at by a few of his colleagues, the sixth sensitive, who had a particularly sensitive sense, smiled awkwardly, and after apologizing to them, he continued to lean against the battlements and squinted his eyes.
The guards of Jincheng, who had a false alarm, fell asleep again, and the Goryeo scouts who had a false alarm continued to crawl towards the west gate of Jincheng; When more than a dozen people had just arrived at the long grass on the other side of the moat, the sensitive guard at the head of Jincheng City woke up again.
This time, instead of waking up his sleeping colleague, the defender of the golden city took off the horned bow from his waist.
The soldier drew a long arrow, thrust it into the frozen grease a few times, lit it on the torch, and fired the rocket towards the Goryeo scout
Looking at the rocket that was still in the air, more than a dozen Goryeo scouts were suddenly shocked, "What kind of rhythm is this, have we been discovered?" ”
The scout captain was also a little frightened, but he still shouted in a low voice, "Don't be impatient! If the enemy discovers us, how can we release only one arrow? ”
Before the scout captain could finish speaking, the flying rocket had landed on the long grass beside one of the scouts.
The grass was quickly ignited by a rocket sticking to animal fat, and the scouts who were on fire around them could expect that after the grass around them burned, it would most likely cause damage to themselves, and it would be difficult to extinguish the fire at that time.
But if he rashly extinguished the fire, the enemy defenders who shot arrows just now would be the first to discover their group.
A single roll could extinguish the fire, but the scout didn't dare to move.
When he was weighing whether to roll or not, he heard the captain behind him say in an undoubted tone, "Qiu Xiaoyun, don't move!" If you move, we'll fall short! ”
Qiu Xiaoyun nodded vigorously and silently agreed to the captain's order, but the flames crawled on him mercilessly.
In this snowy day, the flames from the long grass first brought warmth to Qiu Xiaoyun, until his clothes were also on fire, and the pain caused by the burning made him sweat profusely, and his muscles tensed.
At this time, Qiu Xiaoyun had already realized that even if he chose to roll and extinguish the fire, he might not be able to extinguish the fire on his body, not to mention that it would expose these brothers who were born and died behind him.
The fire spread to Qiu Xiaoyun's body, he seemed to be able to smell the stench of the fire scorching his skin, he endured the burning pain on his body, clenched his teeth and stunned without making any sound; But his hands were already deep in the hard snow.
Seeing Qiu Xiaoyun being tortured by the fire, the eyes of the more than ten scouts behind him also shed tears for a while.
The scout captain silently gave him a thumbs up, cheered him up sadly, and said, "Qiu Xiaoyun, you are good!" As long as you can hold on, your parents and children."
"I can't stand it!" Qiu Xiaoyun couldn't hear any sound for a long time, he squeezed out a few words from his teeth with all his might, and then couldn't help rolling on the ground.
Qiu Xiaoyun also secretly advised himself in every possible way that he must hold on; He also knows how much of a consequence he will have if he is exposed.
No matter how strong the will is, it is still defeated in the real burning pain.
As the saying goes, "The great trouble of man is in my body", and the most difficult enemy in this world is indeed myself.
Qiu Xiaoyun was not destined to be a hero, he finally exposed his body at the last moment, and also betrayed his brother passively.
The scout captain seemed to have long been aware of the situation in front of him, and when Qiu Xiaoyun chose to roll, he had completely given up on him; In other words, he still has a more important task to complete than saving Qiu Xiaoyun.
"Not good! We're going to be exposed, rush forward! The scout captain shouted and immediately stood up; More than a dozen scout team members also stood up and followed the scout captain to the west gate of Jincheng.
However, they were greeted by a Silla bow and arrow that was shot out in a hurry, and they didn't have time to rub their eyes.
The battle between Goryeo and Silla came an hour earlier than originally planned, but Qiu Xiaoyun and his dozen or so scout moths were just an appetizer before the war began.
Subsequently, the 5,000 army units of the Goryeo invading army finally reached the west gate of Jinseong at the darkest hour before dawn.
According to the agreement, the commander of the Goryeo invading army, Yuan Gai Suwen, began to command 15,000 navies to slowly disembark from the ship, and their main force for siege was a catapult!
After a long illness, Goryeo finally learned to make a well-made catapult during the three attacks of the Great Sui, and threw this weapon that was originally used in defense into the siege again.
The defensive battle between Goryeo and Silla came to an end on this day, and there were no surprises.
The defensive battle between Goryeo and Silla in Geumseong slowly started on this day, and there will be no surprises in the result, the key is only a matter of time.
On this day, Su You finally left his warship and entered the dilapidated Baekje King City accompanied by Lai Yanbei and Wang Bodang.
Through the efforts of more than 5,000 people led by Buyeo Ming/Hui and Zhao Hu's Nanzhong auxiliaries and Southeast Asian cannon fodder troops, the houses that had been trampled by the Koreans in the royal city have been repaired, and the Baekje people near the royal city have also poured in in large numbers.
At Su You's suggestion, and under Zhao Hu's personal selection, Buyeo Myung/Hui finally had Baekje's regular troops again, although these soldiers were still young and strong yesterday, although the number was only 5,000
Su You and Lai Yanbei finally saw Fuyu Ming/Hui with bloodshot eyes, and both of them had a heartache inexplicably.
Fuyu Hui also saw Su You and Lai Yanbei who came together, she trotted to them, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you general, thank you sister"
Lai Yanbei immediately walked forward and pulled her up, and said heartbrokenly, "Everything will be fine, why do you have to fight so hard?" ”
Fuyu Ming/Hui shook his head, and looked at Su You again, "I wonder when the general will go to the Goryeo Royal City?" Hope to be able to take me. ”
Although Buyeo Hui gathered nearly 100,000 Baekje citizens at this time, this does not include her parents and family, and she is still concerned about their safety at the moment.
How could Su You not know what she was thinking? Immediately said slowly, "I'll leave in three days." Until then, prepare your own guard of honor and train your soldiers. ”
Fuyu Ming/Hui was stunned, Su You's words were obviously not difficult to understand, and his focus was still on emphasizing his own honor guard, the so-called incorrect name is not good; As for soldiers, what kind of soldiers can be trained in three days?
When "I" Fu Yu Ming/Hui thought of the determination he made when he was on the Su You warship, he couldn't help but look towards Yanbei.
"If the third princess can lead the people of Baekje to regain their strength, this is also what we hope to see; As for the plan for that night, I asked my sister to think about it in the long run. Lai Yanbei looked at Fuyu Ming/Hui and said a few words lightly.
Fuyu Ming/Hui nodded, she had already understood what Su You meant from Yanbei's words.
In fact, such a result is already the best result she can think of, it seems that Su You wants to return to the country, and as for his commitment to him, he probably has an eyebrow.
Buyeo Ming/Hui originally thought that Su You would take the opportunity to swallow Baekje, but if Su You really did this, she would not hesitate to accept it except for a little loss, because Su You's methods are obvious to all.
But now
The issue of honor that Su You emphasized, Fu Yu Ming/Hui can also understand that he is taking the opportunity to push himself to the throne and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Su You's mind is really not small.
Su You didn't just help Yu Ming/Hui was thinking about himself, but he really didn't want to occupy Silla and Baekje, after all, these two places didn't have any minerals except for some food.
Goryeo is different.
PS: This harmonious word makes the author have a good egg, and the third princess Fuyu Ming/Hui will be renamed Fuyu Hui in the future?
