The two sides did not understand the language, and there was no communication, Zhang Yuan gave an order, the army put on a plastic surgery, the Silla generals and the Goguryeo generals looked at each other and smiled, and tried their best to discuss the former residence.

The Goguryeo beast control general blew his flute, and the beasts roared as if they had received an order, and rushed over with their mouths open. When the soldiers of the Zu Zhao Army saw this, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and their footsteps couldn't help but move twice, and the weapons in their hands were held tighter.

However, Zhang Yuan has already ordered that no one is allowed to move, just stand up according to this plastic surgery, no attack or retreat, unless he is ordered to starve, there will be no mercy. This is not actually a defensive lineup, but a pursuit lineup, and their purpose is that if the enemy's beast is scared away, then they will immediately launch a pursuit and disperse the beast.

Seeing that the enemy's army of beasts was about to rush in front of the army led by Zhang Yuan, suddenly an order was given from behind, and six huge divine beasts actually roared out and rushed out, horizontally in front of Zhang Yuan's army, and let out a huge terrifying roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The army of beasts that were attacking with all their hearts suddenly saw such a terrifying behemoth in front of them, and their roars completely covered their own roars, and they immediately panicked.

Seeing that his beast army was scared away by the huge monsters that suddenly appeared in Zu Zhao's army, the Goguryeo beast control general was very surprised, he never thought that there were such monsters in Zu Zhao's army. Seeing all kinds of beasts fleeing in all directions, and many of them were directly biting at the army of Silla, he hurriedly sounded the flute to control the beasts, but it had no effect at all, those beasts completely lost his control, exerted the instinctive bestiality of the beasts, and began to run around, and bite when they met people, the Silla army did not expect such a situation, and was disrupted by the beasts, and each fought with the beasts, and the dead were many.

Zhang Yuan saw that the divine beast had really scared away the beast legion, and immediately commanded the troops to launch a pursuit. Those wild beasts that fled in all directions, those who could catch up, were all killed, and the Silla troops were unable to resist due to the confusion, and they had no ability to resist the troops led by Zhang Yuan, and under the trampling of the beasts and the attack of Zhang Yuan's army, they had no ability to fight back, and finally could only retreat into the fortress in a hurry.

Zhang Yuan commanded the army to chase straight to the gate of the fortress, but was unable to attack by the random arrows in the city, so he led the army to return with a great victory. The Goguryeo beast army, the dead and the fleeing, none of them could be successfully recruited back by the generals who controlled the beast.

After the defeat and retreat of the fortress, the Goguryeo beast control generals couldn't help but get angry, and at the same time wondered how there could be such a fierce beast in the Han army, the loud roar, like the roar of the sky, actually frightened their beasts completely without the ability to attack.

The Silla general Qingwu Tulin, who was the one who seized the military power, was also very depressed at the moment, and originally planned to cooperate with the attack of the beast to teach the Han army a good lesson, but he was unexpectedly defeated by the Han army, and the depression in his heart at this moment was completely above the Goguryeo beast control general.

"Didn't you say that your Goguryeo beast legions were invincible, and nothing could defeat them? A few days ago, I was attacked and retreated by the Han army, injuring a lot of our soldiers, and a few days I was frightened by the monsters of the Han army who didn't know what it was. Qingwu Tulin angrily vented his resentment on the Goguryeo generals.

"How did I know that the Han army still had that monster. This is your Silla territory, we are kind enough to help you resist the Han army, you actually slander my Goguryeo like this, well, you resist the Han army yourself, and then I will see what you can do to hold this place. ”

Qingwu Tulin sneered: "This is the first fortress of our Silla to resist the Han army, no one has ever been able to break through here, to resist only 20,000 Han Dynasty troops, what is the difficulty, you will go to Goguryeo to train your beasts." ”

The Goguryeo general was very depressed, and after arguing with Qingwu Tulin, he left the table angrily, he was not convinced, he wanted to know what kind of monster was in the Han army, and he could defeat his beast army, he found his cronies, and asked him to find out what kind of monster the Han army used, that thing can walk and roar, it looks hideous and terrifying, he has never seen it, could it be that the Han Dynasty is really a big land, there is everything, if this is the case, in the past hands, Why don't you see them take the initiative to attack with that kind of monster, there must be some deception in this.

The people sent by Goguryeo soon penetrated into Zuzhao's camp, in fact, their entry into Zuzhao's army had long been known, and Zuzhao and Su De had long expected that the defeated Goguryeo and Silla people would definitely find a way to find out the news, and deliberately let the soldiers let them in.

Seeing the enemy coming in, the soldiers pretended not to see it, but discussed today's victory in twos and threes, and their faces were naturally full of pride.

"With the help of the divine beasts, the beast army of Goguryeo is nothing at all."

"That's natural, our ancestor general is descended from the gods, so the gods also let the divine beasts come to help us at this moment, and to break through Silla, it is just around the corner."

The soldiers began to brag, these words are quite natural, not like pretentiousness at all, in fact, in their hearts, Zu Zhao is indeed a god-like hungry existence, as for the divine beasts that appear in the army today, except for those masons who make divine beasts, most of the other soldiers don't know. It's just that before sending out the troops, Zu Zhao told everyone that let them face the enemy with vigor, don't be nervous, they have the help of the divine beasts in the sky. At first, they didn't believe it, but when they saw that there was really a strange appearance in their team, like the legendary divine beasts, they were also stunned, and when they saw the enemy's beast troops being scared away by the divine beasts, they were naturally in high spirits, and they were not afraid at all when they chased and fought, because there were divine beasts to help them, in their hearts, these divine beasts were real, and they were not at all like the models made by Zu Zhao's orders.

The people sent by the Goguryeo generals couldn't help but tremble when they heard the discussion of the soldiers in the Zuzhao military camp, lest they see a divine beast behind them and swallow them in one gulp, so after learning the news of the soldiers' discussion, they hurriedly turned back to the fortress and told the general what they had heard.

When the general heard this, he was furious and said, "Nonsense, it's all nonsense, how can there be divine beasts to help them, this must be fake, it must be fake." ”

At this time, Qingwu Tulin also came to the place where the Goguryeo generals were, and he saw that the generals were angry at the soldiers, and sneered: "What's the use of you doing this? Whether it's a real beast or a fake beast, in short, your beast army is useless, and you still have to rely on my Silla army next. ”

The general was ridiculed like this by Qingwu Tulin, and his heart was even more unhappy, and he said angrily: "What are you happy about, without the help of my Goguryeo, I think you Silla will be defeated by the Han army sooner or later." As long as your queen returns, then you know better than me what will happen to you, the one who killed the general and seized the military power privately. At most, I'll go back to my court and get a little punishment, and you'll lose your head. ”

Although there are thousands of soldiers and horses in this fortress, but with this fortress, it is completely equivalent to hundreds of thousands of men and horses guarding, not to mention that the Han army only came to 20,000, that is, to come 100,000, he is not afraid, as long as he defends this fortress, then the Han army does not want to pass through here easily. As long as it holds on for a few months, the Han army will not have enough food and grass, and it will naturally withdraw the army, and then he will be a great achievement, bravely retreat from the Han army, and when the time comes, he will still have military power in his hands, and the new king will only be afraid and dare not have any meaning for him to seek military power.

Seeing that Qingwu Tulin was unusually arrogant, the leader of Goguryeo warned: "Don't underestimate the Han army, they can defeat my beast army today, and tomorrow they will be able to conquer your fortress in Silla, and when the time comes, the army will drive straight in, and soon they will be able to occupy your Kyoto, and when your queen returns to the throne, you will be no one." I advise you to think carefully about how to resist the enemy, and not blindly rely on this fortress. The Han Dynasty had many talents and tricks, and maybe they could really break this fortress. ”

Qingwu Tulin laughed and said: "I think you are frightened by the Han army, with this antenna fortress, the Han army can still fly in." I dare to guarantee that within a month, the Han army will definitely retreat, and when the time comes, I will send troops to pursue them, and they will be wiped out, so that the Han Dynasty will never dare to invade my Silla, and I will also capture their territory and strengthen my Silla, and then I am afraid that you Goguryeo will also have to dress us Silla. ”

Hearing his words, the general of Goguryeo just snorted coldly, and secretly sighed that this guy is too arrogant, he thinks that he will be invincible in the world if he gets the military power of Silla, and the previous generals were not easily killed by them, such a thing may not happen again, and he obtained the military power by improper means, plus he is so arrogant, I am afraid that there are not a few people who want to get rid of him.

The Goguryeo generals didn't want to reason with him, saying that he would go back to Kyoto to report the truth of the matter and ask Kyoto to send people to support him. Who knew that Qingwu Tulin said that he was doubting his ability by doing this, and did not let him go back, and asked him to stay here and see with his own eyes how he defeated the Han army. Seeing that the generals insisted on leaving, Qingwu Tulin directly ordered the generals of Goguryeo to be tied up and not allowed to go.

"I'm here to help you Silla, you can't do this to me." The general shouted.

Qingwu Tulin said coldly: "I just don't want you to go back to Kyoto and talk nonsense, you just stay here and wait to see how I defeat the Han army." After saying that, he ordered someone to take the generals of Goguryeo down. He had already thought that he must not take the initiative to attack, he had to wait, and then pursue when the Han army retreated, as long as he held this fortress, only 20,000 Han troops were not capable of attacking it, unless they really could fly, but this was impossible.

In Zu Zhao's army, the soldiers had already reported the news of the enemy's sneak in to Zu Zhao, and after stabbing Zu Zhao, he was studying the next battle with Su De and others. Listening to the soldier's report, Zu Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "The enemy really can't help but want to know what kind of beast we are using, and they can easily scare their beast army away. ”

Su De said: "The general is really resourceful, and he actually thought of using a divine beast to retreat from the enemy. ”

Zu Zhao said modestly: "This is not my credit alone, I am also inspired by everyone's conversation, especially the words of Queen Silla made me think that I should try it like this, and I didn't expect it to be successful." Ultimately, this is thanks to our skilled soldiers. Military, you arrange, give them a good reward, this time they made such a realistic divine beast, they deserve to be rewarded, if they don't do it well, they can't scare off the enemy's beast army. ”

Su De nodded and said: "The general's rewards and punishments are clear, which really makes us admire." Don't worry, I will definitely reward them, but how to break through the enemy's fortress next, I don't know what new strategy the general has? ”

Zu Zhao said: "I have a little idea, but this idea is very immature, I need to observe their terrain many times before I can make a detailed plan, in the next days, Zhang Yuan and other generals are responsible for fighting in front of the fortress every day to see if the enemy dares to come out and fight us, and the most important thing for us is to send a group of people to explore the terrain near the fortress, I have to fight the three-dimensional graphics of the entire fortress, so as to formulate a feasible plan to conquer." ”

In terms of topographic surveying and mapping, Su Deke is a first-class expert, he knew that Zu Zhao wanted to understand the three-dimensional graphics of the entire fortress, so he immediately took the initiative to take over this work, and in less than three days, he would definitely be able to draw the graphics of the entire fortress. Zu Zhao was naturally very happy, and he also emphasized that he must be as fine as possible.

But what kind of method Zu Zhao will use to attack the fortress, no one knows, in fact, Zu Zhao only has a vague prototype in his heart, what kind of plan it is, he can't say the specifics, what he has to do now is to collect data, let his prototype gradually become clear, so as to brake a feasible plan.

Everything was planned, and the next day, Sud led his men up the mountain to observe the geographical location of the entire fortress directly from a high place. This fortress is in a very dangerous place, there are insurmountable mountains on both sides, and the whole fortress is built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the design of the fortress is a guardian type of city defense, which has various mechanisms to cooperate, and it is simply unrealistic to attack it.

And this fortress is also the only way to enter Silla from this direction, and if you don't go here, it is not possible to reach other cities in Silla, let alone Kyoto in Silla.

Su De looked at the construction of the entire fortress, and couldn't help but sigh, Silla had a great master in the early years, and he actually thought of building the first gateway of Silla here, with this fortress, it was really difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to attack Silla. If they choose to defend to the death and avoid fighting, Zu Zhao's army can last for a month at most, and it is already the end of autumn, if they don't conquer this fortress for a month, it will be even more impossible when winter comes.

For three days, Sude led people to survey and map the vicinity of the fortress, trying to see what could be seen, and guessing and depicting those invisible faces based on what he saw, and the entire architecture and topography of the fortress finally jumped on paper. This made Zu Zhao very happy, and having this fortress layout map was very helpful for the attack plan he envisioned.

And in the past few days, Zhang Yuan and Ma Yuan also took turns to fight in front of the fortress. As Zu Zhao expected, the Silla defenders did not choose to attack, but chose to defend to the death, and in the face of Zu Zhaojun's ridicule, they also responded with a few words on the castle tower, and sometimes shot some arrows, but they just did not send troops.

After half a month, the Silla spies came to report that the large battalions in the Zuzhao army had been reduced, many camp tents were missing, and the chariots in the Zuzhao army seemed to have been dismantled, and they seemed to be building something.

When the general Qingwu Tulin heard this, he was very puzzled, and sent people to continue to keep an eye on the every move of the Zu Zhao army, and at this time, there was also news in the Zu Zhao army, saying that their army was planning to withdraw due to lack of food, but those chariots, the Zu Zhao army did not plan to bring them back, and directly dismantled them, in order not to let the Silla army get them. And some of their troops have already withdrawn to Liaodong.

Some people suggested that Qingwu Tulin launched a surprise attack at this moment, so that the Han army could be defeated at this time, and they came to fight every day, but they were deliberately creating a pretense to cover the retreat of their army, and maybe tomorrow, suddenly the entire Han army would be gone, and it would be too late to pursue it at that time.

Although Qingwu Tulin was arrogant, he knew that the Han Dynasty people were scheming and would not just obediently withdraw the army in front of him, so he ordered to still defend it, and he must not go out to fight with the Han army, otherwise he will be killed. Those defenders were naturally aggrieved in the face of the Han army's battles every day, but they also knew that the Han army was good at strategy, and no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to go out and fight the Han army directly.

After a few more days, suddenly one day, the Han army was not seen coming to fight, and Qingwu Tulin also felt strange, so he sent a light cavalry out of the city to see what was going on. The group of light cavalry quickly went out of the city, went straight to the camp where the Zuzhao army was stationed, and found that the camp was empty, and there was no trace of the Han army, but a huge chariot was found there, and a paragraph was left in Silla language on a wooden board on it: The Silla fortress could not be conquered, and the Han army sighed that it did not dare to attack, so it had to retreat, and now sent a giant chariot to congratulate the new king of Silla on his accession to the throne, hoping that the king of Silla could make friends with the Han Dynasty and not interfere with the surrounding people.

The captain of the soldiers sent someone to send the news back to the fortress to the general, and he continued to track forward with his men and horses, crossed the hill, and sure enough, he saw a large group of Han troops slowly retreating in the distance. The Silla light army did not dare to pursue, and quickly reported the news that the Han army had retreated back to the general in the fortress.
