Tang's dining table

Chapter 388 Fighting with one breath

Since the big shots have already made plans, it would be better for minions like Wen Chu and Wen Rou to quietly wait to be dispatched.

On cold days when there is heavy rain, eating some mutton soup with dogwood added can keep the cold person warm all day long.

The military camp of Yun Chubu stood on a lonely hilltop. There was more than ten acres of land on the top of the hilltop, and it was surrounded by a vast ocean.

The reason why such a scene occurred was that the mudslide from Weishan Mountain washed away the stone city and then carried a large number of stones into the Biliu River, causing the water from the Biliu River to pour into the military camp.

After Yunchu saw such a scene, he felt relieved and led his subordinates to eat and stuff in the tent all day long.

In this weather, no one can come to camp.

The food supply in the military camp is still sufficient. Yunchubu only needs to release the rafts and let the supply camp next door load the food on the rafts and then drag them back. It is very convenient.

For example, Guo Daifeng's army in places far away from the supply camp was very unlucky. If they wanted to receive food, they had to row a wooden raft for ten miles.

What everyone does most every day now is eating, sleeping, and burning charcoal.

There are so many trees in Shicheng. Even if Yunchu burned down the entire Weishan Mountain, there are still a lot of trees here. The hilltop where Yunchubu is staying now was originally a forest.

Now it has been cut down by Yunchu and the others and turned into a bare mountain.

If there is enough time, Yunchu plans to burn all the wood into charcoal and take it away.

There is a lot of charcoal in Liaodong, but Yunchu doesn't know where it is. Since there are many trees, he has no choice but to burn charcoal.

It is obviously impossible to store enough charcoal for the whole winter in spring. However, Yunchu firmly believes that burning more charcoal now will make life easier in the future.

For this reason, Yunchu wrote a special document to Gao Kan, explaining the importance of burning charcoal.

Soon, Gao Kan accepted Yun Chu's suggestion. Since the army could not move, all of them should burn charcoal.

After waiting for three days, the Biliu River seemed to have found another entrance to the sea. The water quickly receded, but the army was still unable to move due to the mud on the ground.

This was a very unfavorable situation for the Tang army. No matter how worried Gao Kan was, the mud that reached his thighs with one kick still made it difficult for the army to move.

Gao Kan sent people to explore the road, and Yun Chu was burning charcoal.

Gao Kan was about to open a road through the forest, but Yun Chu was still burning charcoal.

When Gao Kan ordered the entire army to start building connecting bridges, Yun Chu was still burning charcoal.

After a series of wooden bridges connected the general camps, Yunchu finally stopped his crazy behavior of burning charcoal.

As the tall trees fell one by one, the army stubbornly advanced towards Jili City in the forest.

At first, Yunchu looked at the soldiers paving the road with wood in the forest and thought it was ridiculous. After his army advanced ten miles on this narrow wooden road, he no longer felt ridiculous, and instead felt a sense of joy in his heart. Majestic emotions.

Regardless of whether the army can break through Jili City, this road alone proves the invincible spirit of the Tang army.

Therefore, after discussing with his generals, Yun Chu took the initiative to ask for help and asked to participate in the construction of roads.

After the heavy rain in Liaodong, the temperature suddenly dropped. When Yunchu discovered a thin layer of ice suddenly appeared in a small puddle one morning, his mood was so strange that it is indescribable.

The enemy that the Tang army was most worried about, the cold winter, had finally arrived.

However, when Yun Chujun cut down a big tree, and as the tree fell over and overwhelmed a large area of ​​shrubs, a huge open land suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The Biliu River meanders like a belt through the withered grass, and the city wall built by Jili City on the opposite ridge also coils around the mountains like a dancing dragon.

Everyone couldn't help but cheer, and immediately, the cavalry trudging behind them left the woodland that had troubled them for a month and entered the plains where they could run freely.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army suddenly appeared on the other side of the Biliu River, smoke billowed from Jili City and horns sounded continuously. The originally peaceful land became tense and uneasy because of the arrival of the Tang Army.

As a front-line army, Master Zhang's soldiers have arrived at the Biliu River, and in the forest behind him, there is a steady stream of black troops slowly walking out of the forest, which seems to be endless.

"Woo——"

The trumpets of the Tang Dynasty resounded throughout the land.

"Dong dong dong——"

The war drums of the Tang Dynasty finally beat, and the black army that had been gathered together immediately divided into countless branches, and stepped into the narrow Biliu River step by step.

Gao Kan looked up to the sky and roared.

Just when the entire army fell into despair, the army just cut a 70-mile shortcut through the forest to reach Jili City. Although it delayed the army for two days, this was the best result Gao Kan could have expected. .

When the Tang army came, war began.

After the army arrived at the Biliu River, the first military order issued by Gao Kan was not to set up camp, but to immediately build a bridge across the Biliu River.

From the very beginning, the war entered a white-hot state. The heavy crossbows of the two sides were placed by the river and began to shoot at each other.

The soldiers who were standing on the river bed and hammering wooden stakes into the river were taken away by heavy crossbows from time to time. Immediately, new soldiers continued to jump out, picked up the wooden mallets and continued beating until the thick wood was nailed. Into the bottom of the river.

Horse-drawn carriages continuously brought new wood from the forest. These wood were either laid on the muddy land or on the bridges that continued to extend to the other side.

Teams of cavalry were guarding the bridge. As long as the wooden bridge was successfully laid, it was time for them to launch a charge.

In order to ensure that the first wave of charges could gain a foothold on the other side of the river, the frantic Gao Kan, the deputy general of the generals in the army, personally led his own guards to launch the first wave of charges once the bridge was erected.

The generals of various ministries are in the second wave.

This was Yun Chu's first time to participate in such a group charge. Looking at the dense crowd of comrades around him, he could not feel the tension. He could only feel the determination to move forward bravely and defeat the enemy.

As for Gao Kan, he was the third wave of the entire army and was also responsible for supervising the battle team. Although this was not stated explicitly, every general knew it clearly.

Once he retreats or is overtaken by Gao Kan's troops, it will be a dead end.

As for Gao Kan's thoughts, Yunchu knew very well that if this charge could not occupy the other side of the river, then no matter how many ordinary soldiers were sent later, they would not be able to open up the situation.

More importantly, because of the sudden appearance of the army, the Goguryeo people on the opposite side also set up military formations on the other side of the river and were ready for a field battle.

For Gao Kan, who was already worried about attacking the city, this was an absolute opportunity. If the Goguryeo people could be defeated in this field battle, Jili City might be able to fall in one go.

A fierce battle of life and death, in one fell swoop.

Arrows rained from the sky, and crossbows flew across the river. From time to time, wooden signs protecting the bridge were smashed by crossbows. From time to time, soldiers and craftsmen were taken away by crossbows, shot by arrows, or fell into the Biliu River. , or fell on the wooden bridge. Even so, the nineteen wooden bridges stretched forward with difficulty in the blue river.

“The whole army moves forward bravely, and those who retreat will be killed!

"After defeating the enemy, attack the city immediately!

"Defeat Jili City and seal the sword in three days!"

The army commander rode his war horse back and forth among the teams, constantly conveying this exciting news to the ears of every soldier.

"Zhong Kui!"

Yun Chu shouted at Zhong Kui, who was standing at the front holding a huge shield.

Zhong Kui looked back at Yun Chu, smiled ugly, and shook the huge shield he was holding in his hand at Yun Chu.

He understood what Yun Chu was going to say, but he had no intention of obeying it. Since the Tang Dynasty needed a warrior to rush into battle at this time, then this person should be Zhong Kui, a person despised by the emperor and ministers.

He needed a glorious moment, a moment that would make him shine throughout the ages. Now that this moment had come, how could Zhong Kui let it go?

It's just a trip with thousands of troops and horses, not a big deal.

Wen Wen brought the anti-toxic medicine and gave each warrior standing in front a sip. He had to watch and could not drink more. This wine was very strong and he would easily get drunk if he drank too much.

When he finally handed it to Zhong Kui, he drank all the remaining liquor in the jar in one breath.

The wine entered his belly and burned like a fire.

"Remember to throw Molotov cocktails before going ashore. Clear a piece of land and wait until there are more people to form a military formation before launching an assault. Remember, throw Molotov cocktails first."

Wen Wen asked the former soldiers over and over again, her mouth was dry and she was still worried, lest they forget.

Adjacent to Yun Chu's army was Guo Daifeng's army. At this time, Guo Daifeng did not look at Yun Chu who was close at hand, but fixed his eyes on his former deputy general, who was an old pawn. An old pawn with a gray beard.

At this moment, the Goguryeo army was slowly moving forward holding equally tall shields. Behind them, arrows kept flying, hitting the wooden bridges like raindrops.

Zhong Kui had already stepped onto the wooden bridge, facing the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and used his giant shield to greet them. After the sound of rain hitting banana trees, more than a dozen feather arrows were inserted into his giant shield.

Just as the bridge repair soldiers and craftsmen worked together to knock down the last wooden sign, the wooden sign hit the water and splashed huge waves.

Then, the soldiers and craftsmen jumped into the cold river without hesitation, carried the last wooden sign on their shoulders, and shouted to the back in unison: "The bridge is open!"

Facing the surging Goguryeo military formation, Zhong Kui and others immediately lit the clay pots in their hands and threw them towards the Goguryeo military formation with all their strength.

The gasoline can fell on the shield, immediately igniting a fire that quickly spread to any Goguryeo who was contaminated with gasoline.

Seeing that the shield array was in chaos, Zhong Kui abandoned the giant shield, waved his sword with both hands and jumped off the wooden bridge first, charging forward.

Yun Chu was not in the mood to see what happened to Zhong Kui at this time. Since he had already entered, it would be up to him to take care of his own.

It’s just that for a while, the Biliu River was filled with the corpses of soldiers and craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know whose husband or son they were...
