Chapter 822 Yaowu
Sibi City.
A team of cavalry entered the city. Looking at the sparse buildings in the city, there were ruins everywhere, and they could even smell a rotten smell.
"Let the people come out to clean up, and the corpses were properly buried."
Zhongchen was a little dissatisfied, looked at the devastated Sibi City and sighed: "It's not right to go on like this!"
There are very few pedestrians on the street, but there are more Japanese soldiers patrolling. Occasionally, when I see pedestrians, I always avoid them and dare not raise my head.
Zhongchen Lian got off his horse and went over to help a kneeling old man.
The old man trembled all over, as if he would be devoured by the devil in the next moment.
Zhongchen Lianzu smiled and said: "But you want to go out of the city? Come and give him a horse."
A cavalryman dismounted, helped the old man onto the horse without any explanation, and patted the horse's **** lightly.
The old man hugged the horse's neck and shouted...
"What is he calling?"
Nakatomi Kamazu asked.
An interpreter looked strange, "He shouted...he can't ride a horse."
He felt that Nakatomi Kamazu would be embarrassed, but Nakatomi Kamazu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to ride a horse. Those people saw the smile when I gave the horse. Gradually, the people in the city will become our people."
The palace was heavily guarded, Zhongchen Lianzu found the eldest brother Prince, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, the ruins in the city are still there, and the corpses are smelly inside, and there is a risk of causing epidemics... Besides, when those people see us It's like seeing a ghost..."
The eldest brother Prince looked at him, and said calmly: "Continue."
Zhongchen Kamazu shook his head and said, "We want to rule Baekje, the people are so afraid of us, how can we rule?"
"Fear reigns better."
"When fear reaches the extreme, people will want to challenge those who scare them!"
The unyielding attitude of Zhongchen Kamura surprised the prince.
"Zhongchen, you are now more and more like my admonisher, I am very pleased." The eldest brother Prince smiled and said: "I will leave this matter to you to deal with. By the way, how about you going to meet this time?"
"Your Highness is wise." Nakatomi took a sip from the water glass given by the maid contentedly, and then said, "I am going to meet with the envoys of Korea and Silla. The one from Silla is Prince Jin Famin, and the one from Goryeo is It was a courtier...the Koreans said..."
He sneered, "The Koreans panicked. The Tang army succeeded in crossing the Yalu River and could directly hit Pyongyang. Quangai Suwen wanted us to form a coalition army to rescue, but Jin Famin and I refused. Before the Korean envoy left I said it, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold."
Prince Zhong said coldly: "Koryo is about to collapse. At this time, we go to rescue and give away the head. I was thinking... whether to take advantage of the trend to attack Silla, one can occupy the territory, and if there is a conflict with Datang, there is also a chance. Around the place..."
Nakatomi Kamazu narrowed his eyes and looked at the water glass, "But if Datang said..."
He looked up at the big brother, Prince Zhong, "Yes, we can say that we are helping the Tang Dynasty, so it would be hard for them to say anything. This is a great strategy!"
The eldest brother prince got up, "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Let the army be dispatched to attack Silla."
…
"Father."
Kim Famin returned to Silla and met Kim Chunqiu.
The spring is getting stronger and stronger, and some flowers and trees in the palace seem to be full of vitality.
Jin Chunqiu seemed to be in a good mood, smiling.
"How was this time?"
Jin Famin said: "This time the one who went to the Wa country was the close minister Nakamitsu Kamatsu, who looked very serious. The man who came from Goryeo was a high-ranking minister who said that he had a cold lips and teeth, and asked us to form a coalition with the Wa people to rescue Goryeo. I refused."
Jin Chunqiu nodded, and said contemptuously: "Gaoli is like mud, and it can't be lifted up. It will be useless for anyone to rescue it at this moment...Gaoli Guozuo...it can't be saved anymore."
"Father." Jin Famin lowered his head slightly, "Datang broke through the Yalu River, and then Koryo's destruction of the country is only a matter of time, and then... it is to face us directly."
"The Japanese know how to fight." Jin Chunqiu said with a smile: "You must be careful when you do it. The Japanese are greedy. Last time we gave way to a passage leading to Goryeo, but this was not enough! Let other places stick to it and keep the place leading to Goryeo Get out of the way, let them fight all the way to the border of Goryeo, and then... either Goryeo or Datang, they will feel better."
"Then Goryeo or Tang attacked, and the Japanese were probably going to be devastated." Jin Chunqiu said with a sneer, "But the lips are dead and the teeth are cold..."
This statement is very spiritual... I don’t talk to Goryeo with cold lips and teeth, but I talk to Japanese people with cold lips and teeth, as if they are good friends and good neighbors.
Jin Famin nodded, "Father, the decline of Goryeo is irreversible, but the Japanese are fierce, so we join forces... Liaodong Tang fears only Goryeo, and Goryeo destroys the country. Are they still willing to take action for our little place?"
Jin Chunqiu nodded, "That's what it means. The Tang Dynasty has many enemies, such as Tubo and Turks. Compared with them, what are Wa and... Silla?"
His eyes were deep, "This day... will change, let me see what it will become."
…
Goryeo Palace.
Quan Gai Su Wen is drinking with Gao Zang.
Gao Zangjiu was drained to the brim, he was in a mess, and even laughed: "If you want to kill me, if you do it now, I won't feel pain."
Quan Gai Suwen looked at him with a wine glass, "Why should I kill you? You... are not worth my fight."
Gao Zang laughed, "Hahahaha!"
Quan Gai Suwen's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Gao Zang panted: "My family has ruled Goryeo for many years, and it has already been deeply rooted. If you kill me, everyone will be in danger, those courtiers will be panicked, and those soldiers will also be panicked..."
Quan Gai Suwen said lightly: "You think too much, who can resist under the sword? I killed the former King of Koryo, and those who opposed it became bones... The world is afraid of death, no matter how loyal you are, The courtiers will also tremble under my long knife and change families. Your so-called deep-rooted is just a joke."
He raised his glass, Gao Zang raised his glass with a smile, and the two drank it down with their heads up.
Quan Gai Suwen got up, looked down at Gao Zang, and said for a long time: "At this moment, you and I can only work together. If you have evil intentions...I know you are not afraid of death, but what about your descendants?"
He turned and went out.
"I will use horses to drag your descendants to death outside the gate of the palace, and reward your women to the soldiers in the army. They will be dragged to death alive, trampled to death, hahahaha!"
The voice fades away.
Gao Zang got up, and a civil servant quietly came out from behind, and said after saluting: "My lord, Quan Gai Su Wen is probably going to be finished. Once the Tang army comes to the city...I am willing to go to the Tang army to ask Li Ji."
Gao Zang shook his head, his eyes darkened, "This is Goryeo, the Goryeo passed down from our ancestors. If I surrender...impossible!"
He waved his hand violently, "Wen Shamen is seeking a decisive battle with the Tang army in the Sashui area. It is not yet known who will win the battle. What are you afraid of?"
He said coldly: "How I fight with Quan Gai Suwen is a matter of Korea, but Datang is a foreign enemy. Brothers fight against the wall to defend against their insults."
The civil servant sighed and left later.
With a smile on the corner of Gao Zang's mouth, he watched him go away.
Later, civil servants appeared at Quan Gai Suwen.
Quan Gai Suwen said indifferently: "What did he say?"
The civil official said: "Da Mo Lizhi, Gao Zang said he would not surrender Datang. He also said... the fight between Da Mo Lizhi and him was a matter of Korea, but Datang was a foreign enemy. Brothers fought against the wall. Fend off its insults from outside."
Quan Gai Suwen squinted at the civil servant, and said quietly: "He knows the overall situation, so, from today on, he will give Gao Zang good wine and beautiful women every day, and whoever he wants...he will give it to anyone."
"yes."
The civil servant resigned and left the hall. He thought of something and turned around...
The light in the hall is dim, which makes people feel extraordinarily deep.
Quan Gai Suwen was sitting there, with five knives beside him. He stared blankly at his feet, his eyes blank...
…
Pyongyang has gathered a lot of troops at this moment, and there are many more sergeants on guard at the top of the city...
City head.
All kinds of defensive materials are placed everywhere, and the sergeants are standing on the side, looking ahead... This is Quan Gai Suwen's order, don't slack off.
"I heard that Datang is calling?"
"I don't know!"
An old **** looked up and said, "Let's fight here. The last time their Emperor Taizong also fought, but in the end he had to retreat. Remember, Damo Lizhi will not be defeated. No matter how many times you come None of the Tang troops will be defeated."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Da Mo Lizhi... This power minister gave them infinite confidence.
"The former Sui triumphantly came to conquer Goryeo, and the country was destroyed. If the Tang Dynasty dared to come, maybe it would repeat the same mistakes."
A civil servant came up and analyzed it confidently.
"There are cavalry coming."
Everyone stood up quickly.
"The ones below, go and have a look."
The old soldier shouted towards the city.
But no one paid him any attention.
"It's our people."
More than ten cavalry rushed into the city, and those lazy soldiers laughed: "Who drove this here?"
The cavalry headed up, their deep-set eyes were full of fear...
"We lost!"
It was still at the bustling city gate just now, but now there is no sound, and everyone maintains their original movements and expressions, as if they have been immobilized.
In the palace.
"There is no way out."
A civil servant rushed into the palace as if flying.
"What is it?"
Quan Gai Suwen asked coldly.
The civil servant raised his head, his eyes were terrified, "Damo is far away, the Japanese have launched an attack..."
Quan Gai Suwen was obviously taken aback for a moment, then his face turned red quickly, and he cursed: "Do those dwarves dare to do this?"
He knew that there was only one reason why Prince Zhongda could attack Goryeo...
"Does he think Goryeo will be defeated?"
"Come on!"
Quan Gai Suwen sneered and said, "Take 30,000 people to... kill them."
The footsteps just disappeared, and then came again.
"There is no way out."
Quan Gai Suwen took a deep breath.
It was his confidant who came in, followed by a sergeant in a panic.
"Da Mo Lizhi, lost, Wen Shamen lost."
Quan Gai Suwen looked at the sergeant with fixed eyes, "Tell me, why did Wen Shamen lose?"
The sergeant said: "The envoy who is too big set up a trap, which attracted tens of thousands of Tang troops to be besieged by us on the mountain without water. The envoy wanted to wait for the Tang army to cut off the water for three or five days before attacking, but he never thought that it would be at midnight on the second day." , Jia Pingan suddenly appeared behind my army with his subordinates, they launched a night attack, set fire to the camp, and left the army..."
The sergeant looked up, with despair in his eyes, "It was so windy that night..."
Quan Gai Suwen murmured: "The wind helps the fire, is this God's will?"
"Then they fled to Fengdan City. The ambassador of the Tai Tai rode alone and was killed. Fengdan City... surrendered."
It was silent above.
The civil servant looked up, "Da Molizhi..."
Critical moment...
Quan Gai Suwen had a smile on his lips, looking calm.
"Call them."
Civil and military officials are here.
"Wen Shamen was defeated and died."
Quan Gai Su Wen said lightly.
It will explode immediately below.
"The 80,000 army was defeated?"
"what should we do?"
Quan Gai Su Wen coughed dryly.
But the noise is still there.
He pointed to a civil servant who reacted the most and said calmly: "Pull it out, drag it to death outside the palace gate."
The civil official was stunned, and two sergeants rushed over, dragging him out like wolves.
"Da Mo Lizhi, spare your life! Da Mo Lizhi...Yuan Gai Suwen...you will die badly, you will die badly..."
Everyone fell silent.
"Don't worry about the Japanese side, they don't dare to go too far." Quan Gai Suwen said calmly: "There are 60,000 troops in the city, countless food and grass, and countless weapons. Anshi City can make Li Shimin return without success, and Pyongyang will be stronger. , what are you worried about?"
He got up, put on the five knives one by one, and walked down.
"Koryo...will win!"
…
The atmosphere at the city gate was a little tense.
"The scouts are leaving immediately!"
A general is dispatched.
More than a hundred riders rushed out of the city gate and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Several cavalry came from the city, led by General Shan Yude.
"Are the scouts sent out?"
Shan Yude boarded the top of the city.
The general followed behind, "Yes, just sent out."
Standing on the top of the city, Shan Yude said in a deep voice: "We are very powerful. Tell the soldiers that we have 60,000 troops, food and grass that can last forever, countless weapons...we will surely win..."
"yes."
These words passed, and immediately the sergeants cheered.
Shan Yude looked into the distance coldly, "The navy of the former Sui Dynasty came to Pyongyang, what happened in the end? The great defeat led to the demise of the former Sui Dynasty. Today we are stronger..."
"The scouts are back."
Shan Yude felt cold.
The scouts just set off and came back, there is only one possibility...
"Find Jun Tang!"
The scream is the signal.
"Quick, get ready to close the city gate."
"Go to the top of the city and order all the ministries to gather and reinforce the top of the city."
"Prepare the bow and arrow."
There was a panic in the city.
Of the more than a hundred cavalry, there are only more than twenty cavalry left at this moment, and behind them are more than two hundred cavalry of the Tang Army who are like wolves and tigers.
"Close the gates."
Shan Yude said coldly.
The gate of the city was slowly closed, and the twenty or so riders turned back to fight in despair.
There is no suspense in the hacking outside the city.
An official came up, "Da Mo Lizhi asked how the battle is going?"
Shan Yude turned around and said: "Tell Da Molizhi that Pyongyang...is as stable as a mountain!"
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
A voice came from afar.
The voice gradually grew stronger.
Everyone looked into the distance.
A black line appears in the line of sight.
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
The black line gradually approached.
The endless array is slowly approaching.
Tang Jun held his spear high, and the spear was like a forest.
The footsteps are getting heavier and heavier.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
It's like an ancient behemoth rushing towards the city of Pyongyang.
The endless array approached the city.
No sound.
The array of silence is palpitating.
The array was separated, and more than ten riders rode out from the passage.
Li Ji came with the crowd.
"Not tall."
Li Ji's words made everyone relax.
"How many troops are there in the city?"
Yang Dashu, the Baiqi who accompanied the army, said: "The Baiqi in the city have not come out to deliver the message yet."
Li Ji nodded, "They are working very hard in a foreign country."
"Da Molizhi is here."
Quan Gai Suwen was surrounded by people and went to the top of the city.
"Li Ji!"
Even if they had never met each other before, Quan Gai Suwen recognized Li Ji with just one glance.
"The spring covers Suwen?"
Li Ji said lightly: "Yaowu!"
The huge array behind them stomped their feet.
"Boom!"
The Koreans at the head of the city felt that the ground was trembling, and the space in front of them was distorting.
"Surrender or not?"
The sound waves rolled, and the Koreans at the top of the city changed their colors.
"Surrender or not?"
"Surrender or not?"
A civil servant was pale, trembling all over, and stumbled forward.
Boom!
This man fell headlong and landed under the city.
He couldn't die for a while, probably broke his leg, and was screaming loudly.
Quan Gai Suwen waved his hand, and the guards around him shot him dead with an arrow.
"Li Ji, if you don't retreat, the former Sui Dynasty will be an example!"
The interpreter shouted loudly.
Li Ji's eyes were cold, "The trapped beast is still fighting, is Quan Gai Suwen that kind of guy? This old man is very disappointed."
He raised his hand.
The army then withdrew and set up camp.
Immediately, Li Ji convened a discussion.
"The casualties in the forced attack were not small."
Li Ji certainly hoped to win at the least cost.
Qibi He Li said: "Your Majesty of England, attacking a country will inevitably lead to casualties!"
The so-called one general becomes famous and ten thousand bones dry is the truth.
At a certain level, the casualties of soldiers are just a number to them.
Li Ji said in a deep voice: "When the first emperor conquered Liaodong, he loved soldiers like sons, and this is why he has repeatedly defeated Goryeo..."
"British public..."
Gao Kan said: "The old man also cherishes the soldiers, but he can do nothing but fall short. At this time, the old man is willing to lead the army to climb first."
Generals are not afraid of death, and their subordinates will naturally shout and fight fiercely.
Li Ji pondered.
"Prince of the United Kingdom, my subordinates are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service, and go to attack the city."
Pang Tongshan asked for a fight.
It is a happy trouble that no one fears death.
Li Ji said quietly: "Let the old man think again..."
Once in Pyongyang, Koryo is basically declared extinct, and then the army will face Japan and Silla...
So this battle is not only about breaking through the city of Pyongyang, but also about displaying the prestige of Datang.
Jia Ping'an was thinking.
"British Duke, Gunpowder."
Jia Ping'an said: "In this battle, attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. We brought a lot of gunpowder, and I think it's time to use it."
Li Ji said lightly: "You made the gunpowder, and you are the most proficient. Go and try it."
Everyone continues to think...
Is this ignoring me?
Jia Pingan went out quietly.
Jia Ping'an went back and convened a meeting.
"Building trebuchets, besides, have the gates of Pyongyang City been blocked?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Shenghu said: "Mr. Wuyang, the gate of Pyongyang City is thick, and it is not afraid of impact."
Deng Guan also said: "If you defend the city and block the four gates, it will certainly make the soldiers and civilians in the city desperate, and then everyone sticks to it, but there is also a problem, and you can't fight back... Pyongyang is a big city, and there will be many soldiers in the city, so Quan Gaisu Wen Ding will definitely not block it."
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "That is to say, Quan Gai Suwen thinks he can beat us."
Everyone nodded.
"Go build a trebuchet."
Jia Pingan said calmly: "How to attack the heart? I will give Quan Gai Suwen a surprise."
