First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 641 Night Attack on Zhenla Army

...

Full of anger, Ishnavarman led more than half of the Chenla army to Linyi to punish him. There were only about 10,000 people left in the Chenla camp outside Temu City, and these 10,000 people also included some auxiliary soldiers, including veteran generals. Shemoling and veteran Ronnie are in charge.

Ishnavarman thought that by dividing his troops into two groups, he could not only continue to besiege Temu City, but also send troops to attack Linyi, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. He never thought about the word defeat at all, because the countries in the eastern part of the peninsula And in the tribe, no force has such strength.

Without Gao Chong's intervention, Ishanavarman would most likely have achieved his wish, but Ishanavarman never expected that such an elite army had sneaked into Temu City.

That night, Chen Jiyuan led five hundred elite soldiers. While the Zhenla army was sleeping, he sneaked into the Zhenla camp without any pressure, and then started fires everywhere.

The Zhenla Army had seen this kind of attack before, and even the general, Shema Ling, just thought it was just a water leak. After all, it was midsummer and the weather was hot. No one realized it until they found many Zhenla Army corpses in the corner. Yelled immediately.

First it was just a panic, but now it was discovered that there were enemies of unknown origin in the camp. This unknown fear only intensified the spread of panic.

Chen Jiyuan was hiding in the dark and looked shocked when he saw this. Then he stood up and no longer covered his figure.

"Brothers, when you see the rocket, break out immediately. Meet at the gate of Temu City and kill." As soon as the words came out, he picked up his long knife and went to kill the crowd.

The Zhenla army who woke up from their sleep only wore inner clothes and no armor. The five hundred elite soldiers were like tigers entering the flock of sheep, slashing left and right. The sharp Bailian Hengdao in their hands could take away a Zhenla every time they waved it. The soldiers died.

After the shock of the Shema Mausoleum, they also reacted and immediately ordered people to beat the war drums, but it was too late. The fire and the mysterious black-clothed murderer appeared, and the Zhenla army directly caused the camp roar, and the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers only knew The rats were scurrying around, shouting in fear, and were completely confused.

Seeing this scene, Shema Ling almost fainted. He braced himself up and climbed to the high platform to beat the drum and shout loudly, trying to wake up the frightened Zhenla army.

At this time, veteran Ronnie, supported by the soldiers, came tremblingly and said, "Samoling, hurry up, stop those people in black quickly, otherwise it will only become more chaotic."

Shemoling suddenly realized it. Looking at the soldiers gathered in front of him, he had an idea and immediately drew out his weapon and roared: "Kill all those men in black, they are from Linyi."

Hearing that the men in black were actually from Linyi, the Zhenla soldiers were shocked and furious. For many years, the Linyi people had been cautious and never dared to be disrespectful to the Zhenla people. Now they dared to kill them in turn?

Among the barbarians in the southwest, the highest status belongs to the old overlord Funan Kingdom, followed by the newly powerful Zhenla Kingdom. The Linyi people are the most cowardly in doing business while farming. The Zhenla people have always looked down on the Linyi people.

Under the leadership of Shemoling, the Chenla people began to fight back angrily. Chen Jiyuan saw that the situation was not good and decisively fired several rockets into the sky, and then broke out in the direction of Temu City. Temu City was built on a high mountain and was easily accessible from a distance. You can see the light from the top of the city, which is the best beacon in this dark night.

Half an hour later, looking at the messy camp, Shemo met with despair. He could not have imagined that after taking charge of the camp for only half a day, it would be such a disastrous defeat.

"Then, where did those people come from?" The Shema Club, which had been fighting for many years, also had some doubts about life at this time. He saw the fighting power of those men in black, they were quite brave, three or two people gathered together, The Zhenla soldiers were killed until they had no resistance.

The veteran Ronnie walked to the side tremblingly, looked at the corpses of several men in black on the ground, stepped forward and took off his mask, his expression became stern, and when he picked up the horizontal knife scattered on the ground, his expression suddenly changed.

"Han people, they are Han people from the north!" Ronnie said in fear.

"What, Han people?" Shemo Ling was shocked, "How did the Han people come here, how could they help the Funan people?"       Because in recent years, when the Sui and Tang Dynasties changed, the feudal princes were fighting, and the influence did not extend to the barbarians in the southwest. Young people may not Although they are aware of the strength of the Han people in the north, these older people still know very well what a deterrent force it was when the Sui State dominated the world and all the tributary countries in the four directions surrendered.

"No wonder, no wonder," Ronnie sighed worriedly: "No wonder the food and grass were repeatedly robbed, and our army had no power to fight back. It turned out to be the elite Han people."

While Shermoling was frightened, he was also indignant, saying, "The Han people have gone too far. Why should they interfere in our country's military affairs?"

Ronnie frowned and said, "Samoling, you come to deal with the aftermath. This matter is very important. I will report it to the king right away."

Then he returned to the camp with the horizontal sword and wrote a handwritten letter, ordering people to deliver the horizontal sword and the letter to Ishnavarman who was heading to Linyi immediately.

After Ishnavarman received the letter, he was also shocked. He had to camp on the mountains more than fifty miles southwest of Champa. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with it.

With the sudden appearance of the Han people, the situation in the southwestern barbarians became more complicated. Ishnavarman had a deep mind and had been dormant for many years. His impulsive temperament had long been smoothed out. He knew that he must not confront the northern Han people head-on.

After careful consideration, he wrote a letter with humble words and ordered someone to send it to Jiaozhou to ask Li Shou, the governor of Jiaozhou, why the Han people interfered with Zhenla's military.

However, a few days later, Ishnavarman did not wait for Li Shou's reply, but waited for a letter of indictment issued by the Jiaozhou Governor's Office under the Lingnan Economic Strategy Office.

Among them, the Dudu Mansion clearly pointed out that Funan Kingdom had been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Nanliang Dynasty, and Linyi Kingdom paid tribute during the Wude period. Zhenla Kingdom invaded the two countries for no reason, which was a declaration of war on the Tang Dynasty.

Ishnavarman's whole body was numb. During the Southern Liang Dynasty...when was that? This was a crime of desire, and Ishnavarman now understood that the Tang State was deliberately preventing him from unifying the eastern part of the peninsula, and even though he was angry, he did not dare to act rashly.

Linyi State, occupied the city.

Fan Fanzhi finally came out of the palace, dressed in fine clothes, and led his prince Fan Touli, his grandson Fan Zhenlong and a group of civil and military personnel to go out of the city five miles to welcome him.

"Zhenlong, remember not to be rude later. The existence of Linyi depends entirely on Governor Li." Fan Touli warned him again and again, looking at the arrogant look on his face.

Fan Zhenlong responded in a muffled voice when he heard the words.

After a while, a trail of smoke and dust rose up in the distance, and horseshoes clattered. Fan Zhenlong's face finally became solemn. Just by looking at the momentum, he knew that the combat power of this army was far greater than that of his Lin Yi army.

A large scroll was fluttering high, with the five characters "Li, the Governor of Jiaozhou" written on it. The nobles and princes of Linyi all studied sinology, so they recognized it. They immediately straightened their clothes and followed the old king Fan Fanzhi to greet him respectfully.

I've been hired, my second day at work...wish me good luck.

The writing of these two chapters is a bit awkward. I will adjust it as soon as possible. Please forgive me, brothers!
