Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Someone!" Li Bo's exclamation interrupted the conversation between the two, and a riding shadow appeared on the wasteland and headed west.The two exchanged glances, and both saw excitement in each other's eyes - horses are rare in Japan, and nine out of ten people who can ride horses here at this juncture are enemy spies or messengers.

"Let's split into two lanes. I'll go out to chase, and you go around to intercept!" Li Bo whispered.

"Don't worry!" Wang Lun didn't accept it: "Look, that guy is coming this way!"

"Hey! Why is he coming this way!" Li Bo was surprised to find that the rider really came towards the mound as Wang Lun said: "Did he find us? No, if he found us, he should It is right to escape!"

"Have you forgotten where the water in your water bag comes from?" Wang Lun sneered, "That's the only water source around. This guy is here to drink the horses!"

Then Li Bo remembered that there was a spring not far behind the mound, and there was a small pool next to the spring, and he went there to fetch water just now.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing: "This is called throwing yourself into a trap, and giving the credit to both of us!"

"I'll trouble you later!" Wang Lun said with a smile, "I'll just let you out. With your martial arts, it's okay, right?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Li Bo was already grinning from ear to ear, and he patted his right arm: "Only with this ability, one hand was taken!"

While the two of them were talking, suddenly a mouse ran past the side, and the horse that was grazing behind was startled, jumped back and neighed.Wang Lun's face changed drastically when he heard the sound: "Oops, I should have blocked the horse's mouth just now, but was discovered by the thief!"

Sure enough, the knight in the distance also heard the neighing of the horse, and hastily reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, and was about to flee. Wang Lun said anxiously, "Quick, shoot that thief down!"

"By the way, Sha Zha Xiangru offered me advice just now, and I think it makes sense after hearing it!"

In "Dig trenches? Build barriers", the eldest brother fell into deep thought. If what the scouts said was true, it would be impossible for him to continue the stalemate.The reason is simple, war is not only a physical confrontation, but also a psychological confrontation.The defenders of Emperor Yingshen's Mausoleum were not blind. When they found that the enemy was building fortifications to surround themselves and isolate the inside and outside, reinforcements never appeared.Then they will only think that they have been abandoned, and surrender is a natural choice.And this is a double blow to Brother Zhong: his own army has decreased, while the enemy's army has increased, which is unacceptable.

"His attitude is still very ambiguous, I think we have to wait for a while!" Sakahebu Iwasho said: "After all, his father Jushi Todo was once an ally of Katsuragi, I think it's better not to push too hard!"

"Sha Zha Xiangru said that he had been there before, and it took only a few hundred steps to go around. He really put 4000 people on it, and they were all trampled on. There was no way to fight!"

"Send the order, summon all the troops, and fight against the rebels!"

"Poisonous snake? No, this guy is a tortoise!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Stay stubbornly in a dangerous place and never come out. Isn't this a tortoise? What is it? It's really hard to stalk!"

"Countermeasures? What other countermeasures can there be?" Wang Wenzuo said with a wry smile: "I originally wanted to lure Brother Zhong out, and then finish his work in a field battle. In the end, this guy asked the former army to attack our supply line and defended it by himself. Don't move, there is really nothing to do with him!"

"Oh? What plan?"

"Then what should we do?" Saitama became nervous.

"Here!" Wang Wenzuo frowned: "Brother Zhong wants to lengthen the battle line so that he can take advantage of the number of his men!"

"The big problem is at this location!" Cui Hongdu looked at the map for a while, and finally clicked on the map.

"Otomo Malaitian has already promised us that he has 150 elite troops and [-] horses! But he refuses to write down the oath, the reason is that if he is discovered, it will cause the disaster of genocide!" Sakahe Bupan spade road.

"The streets are full of soldiers running back and forth. I heard that His Majesty is about to send troops. He has ordered all the troops to assemble. If they fail to meet the deadline, they will all be executed!"

"I'm right!" Qiyu raised his brows triumphantly: "I've been fighting with him for so many years, and I can't understand him very well. This guy is a poisonous snake, vicious and poisonous!"

"This old fox!" Shoujun Oishi sneered. The Otomo Malaitian, Jushi Kuromaro, and Abeyu master he mentioned just now were all powerful families in Asuka at that time. They were in high positions and powerful. The last batch of targets that Iwasho Kazukabu wanted to persuade, but the attitude of these people was much more ambiguous. Obviously, they either felt that it was not time to place a bet, or they felt that they could wait until the outcome was decided, and then Kneeling to the winner, there is absolutely no need to bet on the family at this time.

"It's all ready, just hand it over to your superiors." Wang Lun had already calmed down the Japanese messenger's mount, and said to Li Bo, "Have you finished searching? Let's go! It's too close to the enemy camp, and it's not safe to stay here for a long time." !"

————————————————————————————

Tomb of Emperor Yingshen.

"It's hard!" Sakahebu Panchao shook his head: "This person hides at home every day and never sees anyone, let alone pulls him over. It seems that he intends to be a neutral faction to the end!"

"So much trouble?" Saitama asked in surprise.

"Brother Zhong, it's really difficult!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head with a wry smile, and handed the silk book to Qiyu, who was at the top: "I also feel that it would be great if he was the one who died and the people from Haihai survived." !"

"This guy is always so timid!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "But it's nothing, as long as the situation is favorable after we start an incident, he will definitely raise troops to respond, and he can list his name and soldiers on the second piece of paper! "

"Well, that's a good idea!" After thinking for a while, Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "It's just that you need to carefully consider the specific operation, and you have to be prepared. After all, the top of the hill is a high place. If there is a Three to 4000 people rushed down, and were attacked front and back, and they were likely to be defeated!"

"Come on!" Sakahebu Panchao was about to give an order, but was stopped by Shoujun Dashi: "Don't worry, I have endured it for so long, and I don't care about this moment, just wait patiently!"

"The exact number is still uncertain, but according to the scouts, the length of the enemy's ranks exceeds five miles, and there are at least 2 people!"

"It's not bad!" Wang Lun patted Li Bo's shoulder: "It's seventy or eighty steps from the mound, and it's already very impressive to be able to hit it with one arrow. It's better than letting this fellow run away! , search for something on him!"

Due to limited time, Wang Wenzuo did not complete the long perimeter of the Mausoleum of Emperor Shentian, only the east side was completed, and only one trench was completed on the west and south sides, and there was no fortification on the north side facing the Yamato River.Wang Wenzuo placed his army in the open space between the two trenches in the east, and then deployed only a small number of soldiers to guard the west and south respectively, and then let the soldiers eat and rest, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

"The opportunity has finally come!" Sakahebe Iwasho and Shoujun Oishi looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.It turned out that Brother Nakao’s army was mainly composed of local tyrants around Omi. During the period when he controlled Asuki, these local tyrants all regarded themselves as meritorious officials who supported the emperor, and sent their men to plunder and transport the looted property. Going back to his hometown, and Brother Zhong also turned a blind eye, which is why the conspiracy between Sakahebu Iwasho and Shoujun Oishi was able to attract so many participants.Of course, Shoujun Oishi and Sakahebe Iwachi would not be so stupid as to jump out and confront the tens of thousands of Brother Zhong's subordinates head-on. Wouldn't it be nice to stab a knife in the back when Brother Zhong left Asuka with the army?

"Still the same, half dead!" Cui Hongdu replied.

"Yes, war is a troublesome thing! So unless you have no choice, it's better not to fight!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "I hope we can find enough wood!"

Just like two heavyweight boxers approaching, both sides did not use powerful backhand punches at the beginning, but kept testing their opponents with forehand jabs, trying to find the enemy's weak points, and then killed them with one blow.

Brother Zhongda’s army arrived in the evening of the second day. He set up his camp on a high ground about [-] miles southeast of Emperor Yingshen’s mausoleum, and then spread out the army in a fan shape. The camp was located at The position of the fan handle, while the fan faces Wang Wenzuo's barracks.

"What about Jushi Heimaro?" Shoujun Dashi asked.

"He said that Brother Zhong sent reinforcements to the top of the cemetery to defeat us, but now the waterway at the top of the mound has been cut off, and the more people rush in, the worse the death will be. He simply set up a trap to let more bandits rush in. These people, die of thirst!"

"It's finally here!" Wang Wenzuo dropped the pickaxe in his hand and slapped the dirt off his hands: "How many troops are there?"

"So much? Brother Zhong is planning to fight us to the death!" Wang Wenzuo laughed and said, "Send down the order, blow the horn, let the soldiers rest, kill the cow at night, and reward the three armies!"

"That's right!" Sakagobe Iwasho took a deep breath: "It won't be too late for Katsuragi and Saitama to fight!"

"The offensive has not yet started, but trenches have been dug and barriers built. It seems that they want to surround them for a long time!" The scout replied.

"What?" Sakahebe Iwasho stood up: "Tell me more in detail! What's going on?"

"Master, master!" A servant's voice came from outside. *
"What's the matter, come in and tell me!" Sakahebu Pansho said in a deep voice.

--------------------------------

"The enemy has begun to besiege the defenders stationed at Emperor Yingshen's Mausoleum?" Brother Zhong asked.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is dispatched!" Cao Wenzong said.

"The street is in a mess. I heard that His Majesty is going to send troops!"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo pulled out his saber and drew two lines on the ground: "First dig two parallel trenches, about [-] steps apart. Set up two rows of wooden fences, the outer ones are one foot five feet high, and the ones facing inwards are one foot high. The middle is filled with soil, so that soldiers can be protected when walking on them, and will not be hurt by arrows shot from outside! "

"Damn it, I originally wanted to shoot a horse!"

"Yes!" Sakaibu Yuya responded, and wrote the name of Otomo Ma Laida and the number of soldiers and horses on the paper on the right.

————————————————————————————

"Where's the bandit army on the grave?"

"As ordered!"

"I wanted to catch someone alive!" Li Bo muttered, while groping around the enemy, he broke open whatever he found for a closer look, and after a while he found a bamboo tube, and pulled out a roll of fine silk from it: "Look , Is this a letter from a thief!"

"Where did you fight?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"They can really last, and they are not afraid of dying of thirst!" Wang Wenzuo sneered. It turns out that although the tomb of Emperor Oishin is not far from the Yamato River, there is only one well on the top of the tomb, and the main source of water is an underground waterway. With this waterway cut off, the 2000 people on the top of the hill depend on that well, and there is not enough water for drinking, let alone cooking.The result is that on the third day after the siege, people began to escape from the top of the mound to beg for surrender, but perhaps because of the arrival of reinforcements from Brother Zhong, the defenders on the top of the mound were able to persevere, and Wang Wenzuo was unwilling to waste precious The troops feigned an attack, but instead formed a stalemate.

"This morning, the Monobe Lianxiong fought in the west! Beheaded 32 people and captured 17 people; our side killed 43 people and injured [-] people! It's a pity that the enemy's reinforcements arrived later, otherwise the enemy could be killed. All the troops will be wiped out!" Cui Hongdu said.

"Yeah! This guy is very old!"

————————————————————————————

"Long circumference?"

Looking at the dying enemy who was shot through the throat on the ground, Li Bo shook his head in frustration.

Saitama Military Camp.

Wang Wenzuo did not speak. Dozens of black Go pieces were sparsely placed on the map. Each Go piece represented this encounter of different sizes, and the distribution of the chess pieces became more and more sparse from east to west. Brother Zhong is constantly testing, looking for opportunities to break through the siege and send fresh troops to the top of the hill.

Li Bo took out the horn bow from the bow bag, nocked the arrow and strung it up like a full moon, aiming well, and shot the arrow.

"Attack the enemy's front army at the tomb of Emperor Yingshen first, and destroy them!" Wang Wenzuo replied: "However, in order to prevent the big brother from attacking our back during the attack, we must first build a long wall!"

Asuka, Pure Land Palace.

"It makes sense!" Shoujun Dashi nodded: "It's better to have less, anyway, we already have a lot of people now. What about Master Abe? His sister is the biological mother of Prince Youjian, so it shouldn't be difficult Pull it over?"

"Turtle?" Saitama laughed: "Katsuragi would turn his nose upside down if he knew what you said. By the way, what countermeasures do you have?"

Asuka Kyoto, Sakahebu House.

"If that's the case, then it's best to do what he said!" Wang Wenzuo said coldly: "It's not a problem to keep going on like this, it's amazing!"

--------------------------

Big brother's base camp.

"Your Majesty, today our people encountered Monobe Lianxiong on the battlefield!" the lieutenant general whispered.

"Oh? Are you sure it's him?" Brother Zhong asked
