Zhong Kui fought from the front to the end, and when he found that there was no one in front of him, he turned around and killed back......

Lao Huang rummaged through the pile of corpses for some corpses, but as a result, he did not find a few suitable ones.

Then he raised his head and scolded Zhong Kui: "It's not good to give it to the river god if it's chopped." ”

Zhong Kui was standing on the ground bloody, and several bad people filled wooden barrels with water and poured water on him.

The sparkling water of the river poured down from the top of the head, and when it flowed down the armor and from under the feet, it had turned into blood.

Gently touched Yun Chu with her shoulder, pointed to Zhong Kui who was standing in the pile of corpses and said, "How can I see some special beauty in it?" ”

Yun Chu said: "That's right, this person is suitable for standing with corpses, evil ghosts, spirits, and things like this, and can form a creepy but fearless painting." ”

Wen Wen looked at Zhong Kui carefully for a while, and then said to Yun Chu: "I'll go and experiment and see if I can draw the scene you said." ”

Lao Huang finally had no choice, holding three heads in one hand and four heads in the other, stacked them by the river, put a stick of incense on them, and after the incense candles burned out, he kicked all seven heads into the Liao River one by one.

I found a rag, wiped my leather boots, and said to Yun Chu: "Back then, when Emperor Taizong was on his eastward expedition, the marshal crossed the Liaoshui from here and went straight to Xuansu City.

I just don't know if this time I can take Xuansu City before Yuangai Suwen reacts. ”

Yun Chu said: "It should be possible to take it down, this time we deliberately walked an extra six hundred miles to the north, avoiding Liaoze, avoiding the Great Wall of the Goguryeo people, their army is still waiting for us on the Great Wall, and the reaction is not so fast." ”

Lao Huang threw away the rags and stood up and said: "It seems that the marshal still feels that there is nothing wrong with the strategy of Emperor Taizong's eastward expedition last time, and this time he still chose the last offensive line." ”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "I read all the documents during Taizong's Eastern Crusade, and the reason why that Eastern Crusade failed was not the crime of war, but when Zhenguan was nineteen years old, the Tang Dynasty was too poor.

Emperor Taizong couldn't follow Yang Guang's example of scraping the ground and snatching food from the mouths of the people, so he withdrew from the army. ”

Lao Huang looked at Yun Chu and frowned: "I have to say less in the future, it's better not to say it, and live a good life."

Just like your current military affairs are to garrison this small city of Tongding for five days, and after the arrival of the baggage team, we will go to Xuansu City to meet the marshal. ”

Yun Chu looked at the birds hovering over the dense forest that had been reluctant to return for a long time, and sighed: "Tonight, you should be able to find a lot of complete corpses to pay tribute to the river god. ”

Lao Huang looked at the birds hovering in the sunset and said: "The birds are in the forest at night, the sky is about to get dark, and the birds and birds are not going back, what are you going to do?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Hebei Province had a big drought last year, there was no rain and snow in autumn and winter, and there have only been two light rains this spring, so ...... Gentle was ready to wait for it to get dark and set the forest on fire. ”

Lao Huang looked at the dense black pine forest, smashed it and said, "Create evil." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "It doesn't matter, after we burn the fire, as long as there is another rain, there will be saplings coming out of the black soil, and after a hundred and ten years, it will be a dense forest again." ”

Captain Zhichong rode over and said: "There are a lot of savages in the forest, I can't tell which tribe they are, it seems that they are preparing to raid us, general, the rocket has been prepared, is this the beginning?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Then let's start." ”

Zhang Donghai agreed, and rode away with a cruel smile, and Zhong Kui, who was finally cleaned, also left with his five hundred bad people.

Gentleness walked out of the city and raised the painting in his hand for Yun Chu and Lao Huang to admire.

The painting depicts Zhong Kui in a red cloth and black yarn holding a horse chopping knife, Yun Chu frowned at a glance and said: "Your painting skills are not as good as Di Renjie, you have a form but no god, don't forget that Zhong Kui is not only a strong martial artist, but also the first in Jinshike."

You only depict the ferocity of others, but you do not depict their inner intelligence, and if I were Zhong Kui, I would think that this picture you drew is an insult to me.

I have a portrait of a family portrait drawn by Yan Liben at home, and when the crusade is over, you can go to your house to see it more. ”

Just as Gentle was about to retort, countless sparks rose from the flat ground, drew arcs in mid-air, and then fell into the black pine forest, which was already roasted by the sun and was about to smoke.

The pine trees here are all coniferous forests, with rosin on their trunks and pine needles several feet thick on the ground.

The rocket, which was stained with fire oil, immediately burst into flames when it landed on a pine tree or on the ground.

There was a rush of running in the pine forest.

However, it was too late, this pine forest was no more than a hundred acres in size, and the rockets were fired from all directions, and they were shot from the outside in, so the first to catch fire was the periphery of the pine forest, and the experienced soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not leave them any way to retreat at the beginning of the arson.

Yun Chu said to Lao Huang: "Why would a group of savages think that they could raid an army that is well-trained and experienced in combat? ”

Lao Huang shook his head and said: "Because of the frontal battle, they will only die faster, and the people of Murowei always think that they are the heroes in the forest, but they don't know that any army with brains will not go into the dense forest to fight them." ”

Yun Chu pointed to the rising pine forest and said, "You mean that the people in the pine forest are the people of Murowei?" ”

Lao Huang sighed and said: "So simple, so brave, and like to hide in the forest to sneak attack, who else can they be." ”

The sun had completely set, and the small city of Tongding was even brighter, and the firelight fell on the Liaoshui, staining the water red, like a river of blood.

A huge ball of fire rushed out of the woods, plunged into the water, and in a moment a burnt black boar floated up from the water, and the craftsmen who were making the wooden boxes were very happy, hooked the dying boar with an iron hook, and dragged it up in unison, and a craftsman holding a short knife jumped out happily, and stabbed the short knife more than a foot long in his hand from the bottom of the boar's neck into the heart.

No matter how big a wild boar is, it is not enough for these 4,000 people, so everyone stays at the edge of the forest, hoping that more game will be automatically delivered to the door.

When Yun Chu saw that the forest fire had ignited the air, and the flames were floating in the wind in mid-air, he knew that no matter whether it was a man or a beast in the forest, it would be impossible to escape death.

Gently put away the painting in his hand, feeling that he should draw this scene, thinking of Yun Chu's evaluation of his painting, he gave up angrily.

There are many mosquitoes on the edge of Liaoshui at this time, and after the forest is on fire, there is not a single mosquito that can be found within a radius of several miles.

The scouts hid in dark corners, and the soldiers curled up with their weapons in their hands and fell asleep.

The moon in the sky was already shrouded in firelight, and it was only occasionally peeking out of a small horn in the gap in the smoke.

At dawn, the forest was still burning, and according to Lao Huang's estimate, the fire would not be extinguished until it burned for three to five days.

Since the forest is still burning, it doesn't matter whether there are people in the forest or not, or whether there are Murowei people or not, such a dense pine forest, such a blazing flame, after burning for three or five days in a row, all that can be left is a pile of ashes.

With today's technology, there's no way to tell who left that pile of ashes.

In the past three days, there were many people who crossed Liaoshui from the ferry of Tongding, and everyone was very curious about the still burning forest, but they were not in the mood to ask, each with their own goals, and after being inspected by the Yunchu Department, they quickly passed the pontoon bridge and went to the opposite side of Liaoshui.

From the mouth of the messenger who came back from Xuansu, Yun Chu learned that Li Ji had taken Xuansu, and at present, with Pang Tongshan firmly guarding Xuansuo, he himself led 80,000 horses to Xiangping City.

Xiangping City is the easternmost fortress of the Yan Great Wall, although this is a rammed earth city, but, the city wall here is two zhang high, the city wall is open around the door, the city wall is covered with arrow buttresses, enemy towers and other military facilities, it can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Emperor Taizong stayed in this city to command the army, and he was the last to evacuate from here.

Yun Chu felt that the reason why Li Ji captured this city was also because of the knot in his heart, most of the comrades who fought with him back then had now fallen, and he probably came here to look back on the past.

When Li Ji attacked Xuansu City, he did not use gunpowder, he just used his army of locusts, using siege equipment such as ladder poles, and took the city with a wave of attacks.

After entering the city, Li Ji did not issue an order to seal the sword, that is to say, there should be no living alien man in this city, and the young woman will be specially selected as a trophy and sent back to Chang'an to sell.

After learning the news from the envoy's mouth, Yun Chu's first reaction turned out to be that the Cui family should not go to the Yeting Palace to buy slaves casually now, and after a while, the price of slaves in Chang'an should have a big dive.

Lao Huang didn't expect that Li Ji would behave so tyrannically this time, he didn't persuade him to surrender, he didn't besiege the city, and he took advantage of the fact that the Tang army had just arrived in Liaodong and the morale was high, so he pushed it over directly.

It seems to be extremely outrageous.

Brutality has never been a characteristic of Li Ji's personal combat, he generally prefers to use all kinds of intrigues and tricks to bring the enemy down, and then kill the opponent with a needle.

The reason why he is not doing this now is entirely because he has a belief in the victory of this war.

When Gao Kan's army arrived at the city of Tongding, although the forest fire outside the city had been slowly extinguished because it could not be burned, only a few places were still billowing with green smoke.

The second pontoon bridge on the river has been built, and people are walking on it, but it is still strong, and the war horses can walk, and the baggage can walk, but it doesn't seem so safe.

Gao Kan looked at the smoking forest and said, "You look very emotional." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "I will never hide myself in the woods to raid the other party in the future." ”

Chapter 4, please keep voting brothers and sisters, and I will continue tomorrow.
