Chapter 475
The sea breeze is blowing in Wendeng overseas, and the night sky is full of stars.

Thirty warships waited in a shoal near Wendeng in the middle of the night, and when the tide was about to dawn, they landed together at high tide.

Zhao Jun's 300 sand boats disembarked directly in the shallows, while the Silla Navy put down their small sampans.In addition to [-] people who stayed to watch the ship, [-] sailors and soldiers from the two armies landed ashore together.

On the eastern sea surface, a round of rising sun has not yet jumped out of the sea, and the horizon is a circle of red.

Jin Chunqiu wore a samurai scarf on his head and held a scimitar in his hand. His loose robe was blown high by the sea breeze. The Silla soldiers beside him were also wearing white robes, and their trousers were tied tightly.

All the soldiers gathered around Jin Chunqiu. Hearing his instructions, Jin Chunqiu raised his sword and said, "Search nearby. If you find a nearby village, immediately capture supplies and raid Wendeng County."

At this time Zhou Zhou came forward, Jin Chunqiu looked at Zhou Zhou, smiled and said: "Your subordinate is seasick again, it's okay, let our army fight the first battle."

Zhou Zhou cheered up and said, "I am willing to join with General Jin."

"Okay," Jin Chunqiu nodded and smiled, "Mr. Zhou is capable of literary and military skills, but this king underestimates you."

Immediately move ahead and ignore Zhou Zhou.

Jin Chunqiu was somewhat neglectful of Zhou Zhou, he was the prince of Silla, and Zhou Zhou worked from the county department of Jiupin, Li Chongjiu sent him as an envoy, it was inevitable that Jin Chunqiu felt that Li Chongjiu meant to underestimate him, and crossed the sea When going out for an expedition, they were not sent to officials with higher official positions.

Jin Chunqiu immediately ordered his three hundred Hualang warriors to search for news, and soon someone reported back, they found a village half a mile away.

Three hundred Hualang warriors were scattered in all directions, and they entered the village together. Zhou Zhou couldn't help but nodded when he saw Jin Chunqiu's well-trained Silla troops.

At dawn, the small village was still peaceful.

When the Koguryo soldiers approached, they alarmed the dogs in the village.

There was a bark of dogs coming from the village one after another. First, several fighting dogs came out of the village and barked wildly.

But the approaching Silla warriors directly raised their bows and killed the fighting dogs in the street.

The villagers were a little slow to react. They seemed to think that the bandits were coming, and a gong sounded in the village.

However, the Hwarang warriors moved very quickly, entering from all sides, and the villagers who resisted were killed immediately.

After controlling the center of the village, the Hwarang warriors knocked on doors from door to door, gathered the villagers together, and gathered them into the village together.In just one meal, Jin Chunqiu's men had captured the village, and no one of the Hualang warriors was injured or injured.

The village was full of people's heads, and now Hualang warriors surrounded three or four hundred villagers with knives and guns.
Among the villagers, there were women and children with babies in their arms, as well as gray-haired old people. As for a few men with wounds, they were clearly not Han Chinese when they saw their faces, and they were secretly startled.

These people looked unfriendly, surrounded them in the center, and their faces could not help showing fear.

"Heroes, we are poor and remote here, and we have nothing to show respect for. Take whatever you want, and please don't kill us." People in the village shouted, not knowing whether it would be useful or not.

Seeing this, Jin Chunqiu sneered, and winked at the general at the side, while the Silla warriors drew their swords one after another.

"No," Zhou Zhou arrived at this time, stopped loudly, and said, "No, this is my Han citizen, you must not kill him for no reason."

Listening to Zhou Zhou's speech, Jin Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and said: "This is my team, I have the right to order what to do."

Zhou Zhou said: "I am ordered by King Zhao to control the entire army, and the Ru Xinluo troops are also under my jurisdiction."

After speaking, Zhou Zhou took out a document and showed it to Jin Chunqiu directly.Jin Chunqiu glanced at Zhou Zhou, said with a sneer, "I hate others to order me the most in my life. If you talk to me kindly, maybe I will let this person go, but right now...huh."

Zhou Zhou drew out his sword without any hesitation, and the dozens of attendants beside him also drew out their swords.Zhou Zhou said: "Either expose this matter, or kill him. Your Majesty knew early on that you, Silla, would not trust you. If you killed me, the Deputy Commander of the Navy behind you will definitely report this matter to your Majesty. By then Without the help of my Great Zhao, you, Silla, just wait to be destroyed by Goguryeo!"

Jin Chunqiu glanced at Zhou Zhou, then suddenly turned to smile and said: "For such a trivial matter, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so it's not enough! Forget it and detain them."

Zhou Zhou was also surprised to see the other party's face change so quickly, he thought that this person is really a character, and then Zhou Zhou said: "Don't dare, "The villagers will be under the care of my people. "

Jin Chunqiu's eyes flashed coldly, and Zhou Zhou looked at him without any timidity.Jin Chunqiu laughed coldly and said: "Okay, okay, it would be great if you can do it for me, but I need to ask them, how many people are there in Wendeng City?"

After speaking, Jin Chunqiu strode away, and the Silla warriors under his command also left.

Zhou Zhou's guard said: "Right now we are in the same boat as the people of Silla, so it's probably not good to annoy the people of Silla for such a trivial matter."

Zhou Zhou blamed: "Hundreds of lives, how can it be a trivial matter? Where is your conscience? Step back for me."

The guard was reprimanded by Zhou Zhou righteously and sternly, and immediately stepped back.

"Thank you for saving your life!"

The people in the village knew that it was this person who saved their whole village, and they were all grateful to Zhou Zhou at the moment.

Zhou Zhou said: "I am the master of Zhao, not a member of Goryeo and Silla. Now I want to attack Wendeng. I wonder if that old man knows about Wendeng County?"

The people looked at each other, Zhou Zhou saw that no one spoke, and immediately asked, "Why are you not talking?"

An elderly commoner said: "We are all peasants in the countryside, and we have never been out of the village a few times in our life. Even the officials in Wendeng County don't see each other every year except when paying taxes. As for Wendeng County We don't even know how many people there are."

Zhou Zhou nodded, thinking that what they said made sense, and immediately asked, "Are you the party leader? The neighbor leader? Or the district leader?"

The commoner who spoke respectfully said: "Xiaomin is the party leader."

Zhou Zhou asked, "How much tax does your village pay to Wendeng a year?"

The party leader pinched his beard and said: "Since General Chunyu occupied Wendeng, Chunyu's family has always had the final say on how much Wendeng County's tax is. Our Chen Village's tax this year has increased by [-]% compared to before, and we have to pay two hundred shi for grain and grass. , and a hundred catties of hay."

Zhou Zhou frowned and asked: "Then have you paid this year's food and grass?"

The party leader said: "The autumn grain levy will take another month."

Zhou Zhou frowned when he heard this, he wanted to use the method of transporting grain into the city and send soldiers to trick the city gate into opening, but now it is difficult to wait until a month later.

A villager on the side said: "It's not that troublesome to enter the city. I have a brother who sells salt by sea. As long as the soldiers in the city give benefits, they usually turn a blind eye."

"Oh, the defense is so lax?"

The party leader said: "Yes, our Wendeng is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are only Erlong Mountain nearby. There are bandits with a group of hundreds of people, but bandits are so bold to attack the county town, so the county town is usually guarded laxly. "

Zhou Zhou laughed out loud when he heard the words, thinking that it would be nice if it was like this.

The soldiers of Silla Zhao State rested in the village for a day and a night, and the soldiers regained their energy.This village is a remote place, so even if it is captured for a while, there is no need to worry. It is known by the county, so you can rest assured.

The next day was still three o'clock, Zhou Zhou ordered troops in the village and ordered 300 people to stay in Chencun. He and Jin Chunqiu led the troops to Wendeng County.

The people and horses have been walking until dawn the next day, and everyone can see the city wall of the county.

Wendeng City is not a fortified city, but for the "Marine Corps" composed of the main sailors, they have no experience in siege, and they also have no siege weapons.

Zhou Zhou still made up his mind to trick the city gate into opening, and immediately ordered two thousand soldiers to lie in ambush outside the city.At the moment, I lead 200 people and dozens of villagers from Zhao Village, pretending to be salt merchants, to the city gate.

Outside Wendeng County.

Jin Chunqiu watched Zhou Zhou's disguised salt merchant pushing the salt cart towards Wendeng County, sneered, and said, "It's too childish to be able to deceive the gate of the county so easily."

The Silla general at the side said: "Anyway, tell him to try it. If he can't be deceived, and he is shot and killed by random arrows, it will not be our responsibility. Who wants him to offend the prince."

"Idiot!" Jin Chunqiu shouted, "If we can't attack Wendeng, we Silla people will also lose face. I want to make meritorious deeds here, not to mention that you think the civil servants of Zhao State didn't catch us. ?"

"Successful!"

The soldiers at the side came to report, but saw a red flag hanging outside the city gate, which was the secret signal agreed between Zhou Zhou and Jin Chunqiu, and the city gate was obviously still fighting fiercely.

Jin Chunqiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said to himself: "It's all right, is this fool blessed with great blessings, or is King Zhao blessed by himself?"

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

"How else? Kill!"

Jin Chunqiu shouted loudly, and the supporters of Silla and Zhao Guo moved together.The two soldiers rushed straight to the city gate.

Warrior Jin Chunqiu Hualang walks extremely fast, the journey of this mile will not take long.

When Jin Chunqiu led the reinforcements to arrive, the city gate was in a mess, with corpses lying everywhere, obviously the fierce fighting was fierce.

The drawbridge lock on the top of the city was cut off, and Zhou Zhou was leading dozens of people to the city gate, fighting with the city guards.

On the city tower, the guards at the city gate saw Jin Chunqiu arriving and fired a round of arrows.

More than a dozen arrows fell weakly below the city, causing no casualties at all.

Jin Chunqiu led the Hwarang warriors into the city. He hacked to death a general wearing leather armor with a knife, and the Hwarang soldiers rushed in together.

The guards in the city originally wanted to counterattack and retake the city gate, but when they saw a large group of enemy reinforcements arriving, they collapsed immediately.

"It's really vulnerable," Zhou Zhou couldn't help being overjoyed, this Chunyu Nan was originally a rebel army, the troops had not had much training, and the attack on Donglai County brought in the main force of the army, and those who stayed in the city were old, weak and remnant soldiers.

The guards inside the city gate were immediately defeated and retreated.
