Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Cao Wenzong raised his right hand, the white cloth tied to his elbow was particularly conspicuous. He pointed to Li Bo, pointed to the right, pointed to himself, pointed to the left, and then drew a big circle with both hands, Clenched hands at the end.Li Bo nodded knowingly, and the two each led a team and sneaked towards the Japanese camp separately.

Because it was a night attack, in order to avoid accidental injury, Cao Wenzong did not choose the commonly used iron awl, but a long-handled axe, one person long, with a sharp point and a heavy blade, enough to smash bones and tear armor. Medium is a first-class weapon.Under the reflection of the fire, the black shadow swayed back and forth, and the iron armor shone orange, like a ghost.

When the Japanese sentry saw Cao Wenzong, the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps. The young man stood up, picked up the spear, and opened his mouth blankly, as if he wanted to ask something, but An arrow flying from the darkness choked the sound in his throat, leaving only a hoarse exhalation.

Cao Wenzong stabbed forward with his axe, ending the pain of the sentry, then pulled out a burning log from the bonfire, and threw it to the nearest tent. The flame licked the tent and burned it quickly. Howling, naked people escaped from the tents, and what greeted them was steel and death. The corpses were lying in the tents, and the burned tents were pressed on the corpses, emitting a scorched smell.

The camp has become a battlefield, no, it should be said to be an abattoir.The flames rising from the big tent reached into the air, and some small tents and dozens of hay piles were also burning, with swords and swords everywhere.More and more Japanese people were awakened by the noise, rushed out of the tent, and looked at everything in front of them in horror. Their eyes were covered by the night, and they could only see groups of black shadows with weapons running around, in order to protect themselves. , everyone instinctively waved their weapons at the person closest to them. Soon, self-protection turned into a fight, and the fight turned into a melee. Blood flowed like spring water, and life fell like weeds.

"Cao Wenzong succeeded!"

Wang Wenzuo stood on the pagoda, holding the railing tightly with both hands, staring at the enemy camp in the distance, good fortune is like a naughty child, using flames and night as paints to form a chaotic abstract painting.He let out a long breath, why did he feel familiar and at ease?Is he more used to war than peace?It's really scary.

"I got it, I got it!" Qiyu grabbed Wang Wenzuo's sleeve and almost jumped up. The night blocked the sight of others, so that she didn't have to maintain a demeanor that matched her identity. She hugged Wang Wenzuo's neck, her lips almost touching. It reached Wang Wenzuo's ear: "Quickly tell me, what should I do next?"

"Next, of course it's time to go out of the city and attack at night!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Isn't it for this time that the women guard the city during the day and the soldiers cultivate their physical strength?"

"Yes, yes, then give the order quickly! Otherwise, it will be dawn!" Qiyu said urgently.

"It's almost dawn?" Wang Wenzuo looked at the sky. Although he didn't have a clock, he could roughly deduce that it would appear at the second watch at most based on the moon in the sky, and there were still two hours before dawn!Is this woman dizzy?

"Don't worry, the Japanese still have a lot of energy at the beginning, and it won't be too late to kill them after this energy is vented!"

Wang Wenzuo ignored what Saitama said next, turned around and walked down the tower. He walked through the corridor and came to the gate of the barrier. The soldiers preparing for the night attack squatted or sat in a line of four, their iron armor and helmets reflecting the dim light. The light seemed to merge with the exquisite portraits on the wall behind him.

"You all heard it! The Japanese are killing each other!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly: "Everyone, rest for a while, and wait for their energy to vent before going out to fight. They were caught off guard!"

The tense mood of the soldiers relaxed, and there was a burst of relaxed laughter. Wang Wenzuo glanced at everyone's faces, and finally tapped his palms twice: "It's no big deal. I'll warm up the wine at the door later, welcome you!"

The gate was opened, and soldiers poured out like a torrent of steel and flames. The sound of horseshoes was almost drowned out by the drums in the city. Everyone held torches, so that the Japanese on the opposite side could overestimate their strength.Qiyu stood on the pagoda, and she saw more and more flames rising from the enemy camp in the distance. The rocket pierced the night sky, pulling out streaks of light, and the screams were so shrill that she could even hear the words clearly.What a beautiful picture!She sighed in her heart, and suddenly felt a warmth between her legs, and she was already incontinent.

"Wake up, Your Majesty, wake up!"

Brother Zhong was almost dragged off the bed. Although he is an excellent politician and knows how to command and deploy troops, there have been no large-scale wars in the Japanese archipelago in the past few decades, and he has always been dumbfounded by the invasion of Baekje. In Chikushi, he did not command at the front line, and he did not experience the harsh life of war in body and mind, so the continuous marching and commanding made him very tired and he slept soundly.

"what happened?"

"Night attack, night attack!" The attendant had tears streaming down his face, he was almost crying, Brother Zhong pushed the attendant away and rushed out of the tent, what he saw suddenly made him gasp: he saw a knight He was cutting down a fleeing person from behind, and then shot left and right with his bow. A burning tent in the distance suddenly burst open, and the flames shot straight into the sky, forming a pillar of fire. It is estimated that there was something flammable in that tent. thing.

"Your Majesty, put on your shoes!" The attendant rushed out of the tent, holding a pair of leather sandals in one hand, and leading a horse he got from nowhere in the other: "We have to get out of here as soon as possible, it's too dangerous !” The horse shook its head impatiently, breathing out from its nostrils due to nervousness.At this moment, Brother Zhong suddenly felt as if he was in a banquet, and the music ended, leaving only a lonely drumbeat, slow and monotonous, echoing on the river, like the heartbeat of a dying giant beast.The dark sky shed tears, the sea gurgled, some cursed, some died.His face was wet, and when he touched it, it was already full of tears.

"Victory is just around the corner, within reach!" He shouted, his voice was sharp and desperate, like a dying wolf: "I have come this far with great difficulty, how can I escape?"

"Your Majesty!" The attendant hugged Brother Zhong's thigh: "Get on the horse! It's too dangerous here! If you live, you still have hope. If you die, you will lose everything!"

Brother Zhong was like a puppet. With the help of his attendants, he got on his horse and fled staggeringly into the distance.

————————————————————

The next morning.

Wang Wenzuo was sitting at the table, and Qiyu was sitting opposite. On the table were porridge, pancakes, pickled vegetables, grilled fish, and stewed shellfish. The last dish didn’t look very good, but it tasted good. Of course, the main reason is that although there are rice and beans in the warehouse in Namba Tsu, there are very few dishes that can be used for dinner. The only thing that can be supplied in unlimited quantities is all kinds of shellfish and fish, even Wang Wenzuo and Saitama , unless they kill big animals, there is no meat to eat.

"Both Cao Wenzong and Li Bo are back, and Ping Liu who was rowing the boat is also back!" Cui Hongdu said: "The three of them were not seriously injured, and 20 of the 15 people who went to the night raid together came back! It's good luck!"

"Yes! Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield. They went deep into the tiger's den this time and made a great contribution!" Wang Wenzuo put down his chopsticks: "Your Majesty, they killed a thief for you. What should I reward?"

"You are also the Minister of the Interior, rewarding meritorious officers and soldiers can be decided with one word, why ask me?" Qiyu said with a smile.

"Although I have the official position of Minister of the Interior, I don't know anything about the situation in your country. Even if I want to reward, I don't know what to reward!" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"Although our country is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty, there are still three thousand miles of localities to make up for each other's strengths. The total number of households in the counties and counties in each country is over one million. How can there be nothing to reward?" Qi Yu said with a smile: "Forget it, I will do it first. How about a demonstration? What was the original identity of Pingliu who rowed the boat?"

"It seems to be the Lang party who saw the red pole!"

"Seeing the trace? Is it the Sheren who was rescued by your people that day?"

"That's right, that's him! But he's now Captain Zaemon!"

"Lieutenant Zaemon? You promoted him?" Saitama smiled and said, "Forget it, should Heiraku be given a surname first? What kind of surname should he give? Last night he drove a boat across Namba at night, so his surname is Namba , called Namba Heiroku, doesn’t the name sound good?”

"Sounds okay! But giving the surname is the end?"

"Of course it's not enough? You can be appointed as an official after being given a surname. You can't let a commoner named Heiliku directly become an official of the court. It's too disrespectful!" Saitama said: "For the official position, let him go to Mino or Owari to be a national secretary. Act as an official, there are many supporters of Ge Cheng over there, if you want to replace him with someone you can trust, just give him two more manors!"

"Your Majesty, you are really generous!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile. He was telling the truth. Pingliu was originally a local tyrant and a capable party member under Chi Yan, just like the cannon fodder yesterday who braved the rain of arrows to fill trenches. To be given the surname by the emperor, and to be appointed as the Daikan (i.e. an official who handles affairs instead of the Kokusai) in a wealthy country like Mino Owari, this is simply a success. As for the manor that was finally rewarded, it is a trivial matter. In the end, I will definitely be able to get some land for myself locally, which was also an unspoken rule at the time.

"Naturally, he made a great contribution last night!" Qiyu bit the word "great contribution" very seriously: "As for the rest of the people, they are all yours, and they will be removed from official positions, and they can only be rewarded with property. You can dispose of this by yourself, anyway, after defeating Katsuragi and restoring the old capital, you can confiscate his and his supporters' property and farms!"

"This woman really knows how to draw cakes!" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Qiyu said so much just now, but in fact it was translated into one sentence, and there is no one at the moment. Take whatever you want, he smiled: "It's okay, I will deal with their rewards first, and the rest will wait until Katsuragi is completely defeated!"

"Defeat Katsuragi completely? Didn't you already win last night?" Saitama asked.

"If I have 5000 people in hand now, then we have already won!" Wang Wenzuo spread his hands: "But now I only have 2000 people under my hand, and only 400 of them are familiar with them. I really dare not pursue them. We can only wait for reinforcements!"

"Yes, it's really a pity!" Qiyu sighed, and then laughed: "But after our big victory this time, many people from all over the world will definitely stand by my side!"

"Yes, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue a few more decrees to announce the big victory last night to all parties. The sooner the better!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "Everything depends on you!"

"Then leave it all to the widow!" Saitama replied solemnly, and immediately covered his mouth with a smile.

Qiyu didn't lie, just after breakfast, she went back to the Sutra hall to draft a decree.At noon, the messenger boarded the boat and set off with dozens of decrees.His task is to hand over the decrees in his hands to the local governor or powerful local tyrants whenever he goes to a neighboring country. With the victory he just won as a foundation, the power of these pieces of paper is still guaranteed.

Asuka Kyo.

"How many troops do we have now?" Brother Zhong asked.

"There are about 4000 people left!" The deputy general looked at the emperor's face, and added carefully: "Actually, you don't have to worry, we didn't have many people who died last night. Most of them just fled in fright. They should return to Asuka!"

"That's all!" Brother Zhong let out a long breath. Of course he knew what the lieutenant said was true, but the strength of the army is not just the superposition of simple numbers. Even if most of the defeated soldiers will come back, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. passed.

"Take the defeated soldiers back separately, don't let them mix with the troops left behind in the capital!" Brother Zhong said.

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Also, send a messenger to Meinong and urge the Minister of State to send reinforcements and food to Kyoto!"

"As ordered!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

"As ordered!"

When the subordinates left the room, Brother Zhongda sighed. Maybe his level of commanding the enemy was a little slow, but he was still very accurate in judging the current situation.He and Saitama are both members of the royal family. The characteristic of civil wars between royal families is that as long as either side gains an advantage, most of the neighboring countries will quickly fall to the dominant side, causing the balance of power to tilt rapidly. Royal civil wars generally seldom last too long. Time is a quick game.

So after he raised his troops from Omi, he didn't raise enough troops in Guosi to attack again. Instead, he took thousands of people on the road, raised the Royal Banner of Brocade and headed south. There are more than [-] people.

According to past experience, this civil war has basically ended, and the next plot is that Brother Zhong ascended the throne and became king, and Saitama committed suicide when he had nowhere to go.However, the arrival of the envoys from the Tang Dynasty changed the normal trajectory. Saitama did not escape to a remote county, but defended himself in Nanba Jinlizhai, blocking the largest food import channel in Asuka, and even 3000 people. , defeated his own army.
