Xu Shiji and Li Junxian were not too angry after learning that Silla was playing tricks.
"If the Silla people can't see this little thing, then they really don't understand anything." Li Junxian said disdainfully: "Previously, they sent envoys to Chang'an to ask for help, but His Majesty delayed it again and again, just for the sake of maximum security.
It only reduces their strength to a certain extent. The current Baekje and Silla are just like ephemera at the end of their power."
Xue Li asked: "General, do we want to continue attacking Baekje?"
"This is natural." Xu Shiji said: "The plan will not change, but since Silla dares to play tricks, there is no need to waste time."
At this point, Xu Shiji and Li Junxian looked at each other.
The Tang army moved like lightning, firing artillery all the way into the city, and Tang cavalry clearing the way, without giving Baekje any time to react. In just half a month, they pushed all the way and attacked more than a dozen cities, intercepting and killing more than 10,000 Baekje soldiers and horses.
, troops arrived at Xiongjin.
Behind Xiongjin is Sixi.
In September, Buyeo Yiji had just withdrawn his troops and returned to Baekje when he received urgent news that the Tang army had appeared in Ungjin.
Too fast, really too fast.
He estimated that the Tang army's attack would be very fast, but he never expected it to be so fast. How long has it been since then? They actually captured more than a dozen cities. Did they fly here?
Before Buyeo Yiji could go to support Ungjin, news came that Ungjin had fallen and the 30,000 defenders were defeated.
As the last fortified city in front of Sixi fell, Fuyu Yici endured his grief and led his troops back to Sixi, preparing to fight the Tang army to the death.
However, when he returned to Sixi, he realized that the most dangerous situation was not the Tang army, but that the domestic food supply had bottomed out!
From last year to this year, Baekje's food and grass supplies were completely depleted. Originally, Baekje ministers were waiting to capture Silla and use Silla people to replenish blood. However, Silla failed to capture it, and instead attracted the Tang army, and the food and grass supplies naturally
I can't hold it any longer.
royal palace.
Fuyu Zhang asked: "How long can the food and grass last?"
Fuyu Yici said bitterly: "Half a month."
"How long!" Fuyu Zhang asked angrily.
"Ten days." Fuyu Yici said truthfully.
Fuyu Zhang fell down on the throne and sighed: "I don't blame you, none of us expected that the Tang army would suddenly take action. We didn't expect that the Tang army would actually have divine thunder to help. Before, I was wondering why the Tang army could conquer Goguryeo so quickly. Now I
It’s not strange anymore.”
He did not blame Buyeo Uiji for going his own way to attack Silla and causing Baekje to be empty, because he agreed to this.
Speaking of this, Fuyu Yiji couldn't help but ask: "What kind of divine thunder is it really as powerful as others say?"
Fuyu Zhang said: "I have not seen it with my own eyes, but it is said that all the cities captured by the Tang army have been reduced to ruins. Even if they were recaptured, they would not be able to hold it. They will come to Sixi in the near future, maybe we
I can still see that thing with my own eyes.”
Buyeo Yiji's hands and feet were cold and he didn't know what to say. Baekje is really suffering from internal and external problems now.
All things considered, the strength is still not good enough. If they can fight against the Tang army, they will not be so passive at all. The Tang army is strong, so they can act unscrupulously and attack Baekje directly without any reason.
Although the reason why the Tang army attacked Baekje was that Baekje was disobedient and attacked Silla without permission. But is that a reason?
It's not like he didn't send an envoy to say that as long as the Tang army opened his mouth, he would immediately retreat, but the Tang Dynasty lied to him.
Strength, strength, strength!
Fu Yuyi's heart was bleeding with hatred.
You have no strength and everything you say is nonsense!
After the Tang army captured Xiongjin, they did not continue to go south to surround Sixi, but began to replenish their troops and wait for the arrival of grain and grass. Even though the situation was excellent now, Xu Shiji and Li Junxian were still working step by step to stifle the accident and directly kill Baekje.
.
When Silla learned about the battle ahead, they were already numb. After all, Goguryeo was quickly wiped out by the Tang army before, let alone Baekje.
Ji Tong.
"Should we get a share of the pie?" Jin Yuxin asked thoughtfully.
Yan Chuan looked like he had seen a ghost
He asked, "Are you crazy? This time we are scheming with Tang Jun. If they find out, aren't you seeking death by doing this?"
Jin Yuxin hummed: "Look at the attack speed of the Tang army. They don't need us to contain Fuyu Yiji at all. Their ulterior motives are obvious."
Yan Chuan remained silent, not wanting to say anything.
On the other hand, Jin Chunqiu came over in a hurry and said with an ugly face: "We are running out of food and grass."
"How long can it last?" Jin Yuxin asked.
"A month at most." Jin Chunqiu explained: "We can't last much longer."
From last year's war to now, the collapse of food and grass can be expected. In order to preserve their strength, they did not even care about the people of Silla in the north.
"What do you think?" Jin Yuxin asked.
Jin Chunqiu looked at him and said, "My thoughts are not important. What is important is what Tang Jun thinks."
Jin Yuxin pursed his lips and said, "You're right, what matters is what Tang Jun thinks."
If the Tang army was greedy and wanted to attack Silla after destroying Baekje, then they would not be able to stop their troops and would have to continue to recruit troops.
Seeing Jin Yuxin deep in thought, Jin Chunqiu suggested: "Why don't we wait until the Tang army captures Baekje and let's test it again. Before that, we can't let down our guard."
"Well, that's it." Jin Yuxin nodded.
To be honest, there is no other way. It is very sad. Sometimes Jin Yuxin feels really sad. Until now, the one who directly threatens them is not Baekje, but the Tang Dynasty who they ask for help.
If the Tang Dynasty had sent troops to resolve the disaster last year, they would not be so passive now, but everything is irreversible, and now they can only deal with the immediate situation.
"It seems that you can't take a share of the pie." Yan Chuan said.
Jin Yuxin said speechlessly: "I'm just saying that if we go to Sixian at this time, we may be used by the Tang army to attack the city."
Anchuan thought to himself, it's good that you know. Although he also controls some troops, Jin Yuxin controls more. Sometimes, he also needs to persuade Jin Yuxin not to take too many risks. The opponent is the Tang Army, not the Baekje Army.
After the Tang army made some repairs in Xiongjin, Xu Shiji ordered his scouts to go ahead and reconnoiter the enemy situation ahead.
"stop."
In the woods outside Yueji City, Qin Huaiyu and Xue Li stopped and ordered their horses to be muzzled.
Not long after, the scouts who went to investigate returned.
"The city is empty."
"Empty?" Qin Huaiyu and Xue Li looked at each other, somewhat surprised.
Xue Li asked: "Is there any fraud?"
The previous scout shook his head, "No, that's not a city at all. The walls of that city are so short that a prancing horse can pass through them, and there's no place for defense at all."
Qin Huaiyu said thoughtfully: "We can't be careless. The more this happens, the more carefully we have to conduct reconnaissance. If there is an ambush hidden here, it will be our mistake."
"You are right." Xue Li said: "We are divided into two groups and will gather here at this time tomorrow."
"Okay, you go to the east and I go to the west."
"good."
After the two discussed it, they quickly gathered their men and went in two directions to explore Yueji City.
Even though they broke through the city all the way and their offensive was fierce and unstoppable, Qin Huaiyu and Xue Li did not dare to be careless. With the guidance of Xu Shiji and Li Junxian, they would not say how prudent they were, but they would not be so arrogant as to think that they were already in danger.
Gain complete victory.
Be careful and cautious is what they hear most. On the battlefield, a small change will cause drastic changes. This chapter has been completed!
