【05】Victory or Defeat (Part I)

But inside the carriage, Xi Jiangyue smiled indifferently and explained to the young man next to her: "Ordinary paper is made of 100-day bamboo, by soaking, boiling, scooping mortar, swinging into the curtain, laminating and drying, etc., where in the process of adding alum, coloring, sprinkling gold, printing, waxing, sprinkling mica and other procedures, it can make the paper more convenient to write, and the ignition point is very low, as long as a little phosphorus powder is applied, such weather, it will burn in the wind." ”

Mu Yi listened attentively, and only after a while did he say proudly: "Sister is really the smartest person in the world." Rao is such a simple and boring thing, and when she says it, it is also exciting.

When Xi Jiangyue heard this, she only stared at the needle on her wrist, her eyes slightly closed.

"The method of making familiar propaganda, the old demon crane has already mentioned it in his book "A Skill of Leisure", but you don't like to read and haven't discovered it."

Mu Yi only scratched his head and smirked when he heard this.

However, if you say that this is the smartest person in the world, Xi Jiangyue really wants to see the young man who saved Xichu from the difficulty of destroying the country and exterminating the species with just a few words seven years ago, and was judged by the strategists of all countries to be too wise and close to the demon but disappeared in a daze.

But the young man, although he is as famous as the old demon crane, is like a dazzling morning glow on the horizon, and he has disappeared in an instant, only knowing that the world calls him Tang Gongzi, and nothing else can be discovered.

Xi Jiangyue closed her eyes and pondered, then she heard Mu Yi remind: "Sister, it's time to reach the first-line peak." ”

The two men, who moved freely and casually between the battlefields of the two armies, reached the peak again without much effort.

Xi Jiangyue looked at the sky and the cold, flicked the half plum blossom belt around her waist, and said in a firm tone, "In three days, we will return to Chu." ”

"Does my sister want Mu Yi to spend a few more days with grandpa?" The boy's eyes shone like stars.

Xi Jiangyue pretended to be mysterious, looked at Mu Yi and smiled gently, "In addition, there are surprises." ”

It's night.

The Dongyue army, in accordance with the order of the general Xiao Wei, hung the dolls with thatch stuffed inside the armor outside the city wall.

All the people of the Beiqiang tribe recommended themselves to meet the enemy, and Bei Mingzhen only ordered the soldiers in the army to come forward and scold the battle, only to say that Xiao Wei was used to using some tricks to make a fool of himself, but he cowered in the city and did not dare to face the battle.

No matter how Beiqiang scolded, the Dongyue army did not move, and still put the puppet outside the city the next night.

Seeing that the scolding array was useless, Bei Ming Zhen ordered his subordinates to push the East Vietnamese soldiers and civilians captured during the war in front of the battle.

There are too many things to do.

When the defenders of East Vietnam looked at it, they were all angry and rushed to the crown, but because of the order of the general, they had to suppress the anger in their hearts.

The next day, the sun was blazing.

Bei Mingzhen held a bowl of baby blood squeezed from under the stone plate, looked at the Xiao Jiajun who was surging on the upper floor of Cangzhou City, smiled treacherously, raised his arm, and poured the blood into his stomach.

After several times like this, the East Vietnamese defenders were furious.

That night, among the puppets that fell under the city, there were many Dongyue soldiers, wanting to take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack the camp tent under the city.

Bei Ming Zhen was alert, and immediately saw the flaw, he laughed heartily, and ordered his subordinates to meet the enemy with all their might, and shame on the snow.

The Northern Qiang army has always been brave, and You Shan fought in close combat, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the heads of the East Vietnamese soldiers had been dismantled.

Bei Mingzhen sat on horseback, opened the stone divine power, personally pulled the longbow, and the tiger skin on his body reflected the sky-high fire, which looked more and more scorching.

His eagle eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the boss of the castle tower, and a grim smile suddenly hung on his lips.

"Whew!"

The sharp arrow pierced the bloody wind and stabbed straight at Xiao Wei, the general of the East Vietnamese Protector who commanded the three armies.

Capture the thief and capture the king first!

Above the city tower, the sound of the general's arrow was suddenly heard, and the Xiao family's army was in an uproar in an instant.

"This is known as the strongest Xiao family army in East Vietnam, and that's it." Bei Mingzhen had a beard beside him, his eyes swept over the Dongyue soldiers in front of him who were easily defeated by the Beiqiang army, and smiled disdainfully; Then he turned around and clenched his fists, and said: "It's still the eldest prince who is wise and powerful, first use the captives to provoke a group of turtle sons in that city, and make them think that they can fool our Beiqiang army by relying on a few straw men from his mother." ”

The beard smacked heavily, looked at Bei Yingzhen on horseback, and smiled flatteringly, "That old man of the Xiao family thinks that he has read a few books on broken soldiers, and he dares to get an axe in front of you, the eldest prince, which is really beyond his strength." ”

When Bei Mingzhen heard this, he smiled freely, a mouthful of white teeth, shaking people's eyes painfully, and only two words came out of his mouth.

"Slaughter the city!"

As soon as this order came out, the Beiqiang soldiers who had already been ready to attack drove straight in and rushed to the gate of Cangzhou, but in a moment, under the sound of killing, only the remnants of flesh and blood flew sideways.

The waist-thick trunk of the tree slammed into the heavy city gate, humming and muffling.

The Dongyue soldiers, who were in a panic, rushed to the north and ran away when they stumbled and fled.

As soon as the bearded Xueliang scimitar was raised, the longbow in Bei Yingzhen's hand had already swept over, and the person was beheaded.

The East Vietnamese soldier who lost his head still ran forward three or five feet, and the blood in his cavity gushed like a pour, wetting the world before he collapsed.

Bei Ying Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and when the tip of his tongue was intoxicated with the fresh blood on the bowstring, he instantly raised his eyebrows, "That's not right!" ”

It doesn't taste right!

He stared at the tower, then struck his horse forward, and thrust his longbow into the head of the man he had just cut off.

When Bei Mingzhen saw the face of the head of the bow, he was upset, and then searched through the corpses of many East Vietnamese soldiers.

The dark iron longbow in his hand was almost crushed by his tiger's mouth like iron tongs.

"Tut, you immediately take two teams of men and horses to the rear of our army."

The bearded Tut stared at the white-haired human head, not knowing what Bei Mingzhen wanted.

Although Tut didn't believe that the dying Xiao Jiajun could still make any trouble at this time, Bei Mingzhen had always been resourceful, and the military orders were like a mountain, so he immediately hugged his fists and took his life.

However, before Tut turned around, a sharp shout suddenly sounded beside him.

In an instant, the arrows on the city tower were as dense as cow hair, and the arrow body was caught in the fire, and the fire outside Cangzhou City was monstrous in an instant.

Tut had just swung his knife to stop a few feathered arrows that were stabbing at his face, and he wanted to find out if Bei Yingzhen was injured, but he immediately turned his head to stare behind him.

And behind his own tent, the fire dragon was already roaring.

Overhead, arrows pierced through the air; Behind him, a wanton fire dragon surrounded the Beiqiang Legion.

Slowly, the arrows were exhausted, and the stones on the city tower rained down one after another.

The Beiqiang army, which was still strong and ferocious, was instantly attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses!

Hit the trick again!

Seeing this, the soldiers of Beiqiang immediately covered Bei Yingzhen, like a sharp sword, killing a bloody road.

Faced with a tongue of fire several zhang high, the front hooves of the Beiqiang war horse were raised high, and they frequently retreated.

Bei Mingzhen looked sideways in a daze, his eagle eyes turned suddenly, he raised his arm and waved, but the dark iron longbow in his hand was like a knife and axe, and he cut off the head of a guard beside him.

In an instant, the fierce horse fell to the ground, and the gushing blood of the horse extinguished a flame, and the horse's guards rolled into the flames, wailing and splashing with tongues of fire during the struggle.

Seeing this, Bei Mingzhen didn't hear it, and only led his subordinates to gallop on horseback.

When I looked back, the sea of fire and blood was far away.

The bloodthirsty anger in Beimingzhen's eyes was even more powerful than before.

The soldiers in Cangzhou City rushed out, like a sharp knife trailing, besieging the fleeing people and horses of Beiqiang under the valley where the two mountains intersected.

The valley is long and narrow, and only one person or one horse can travel at a time.

Behind him, the East Vietnamese army came in the dust.
