Chapter 273 The first shot (2)

"What did you say? Tang army? Where did the Tang army come from?" Outside Guanshan City, Fuyu Zhang Ningsheng asked the messenger who came to report the news.

"Wang, it's true that it's the Tang army. Although they did not show their banner, the Prime Minister knew their five-toothed warship." The messenger explained in fear and trepidation, and the expression of fear on his face could not be removed.

Three days ago, the scene of dozens of naval warships stationed in the royal capital rushing towards four giant ships like flies shaking trees was vividly visible. Amid the sound of the sky-shaking roar, the naval warships turned into powder, and countless naval soldiers were buried at the bottom of the river.

If the royal capital's walls were not strong enough and there were countless catapults on the city, it would have been ignited by the war after that battle.

Hearing that the Prime Minister had confirmed that the navy of unknown origin belonged to the Tang Dynasty, Fuyu Zhang hesitated and murmured to himself: "I, Baekje, have no disrespect to the Tang Dynasty. Why did the Tang people come to attack me? Could it be... Silla?"

Seeing that Fu Yuzhang was still hesitating, the messenger couldn't help but shout anxiously: "King, there is no time left. The Tang Dynasty warship was equipped with some weapons. It can destroy a large ship of our navy with just one blow. If they use this weapon to attack the city, the king's capital will be in danger."

Without Fu Yuzhang's words, the confidant around him had already stood up: "What are you panic? I will consider whether to withdraw the troops."

The messenger was stunned. He had seen the power of artillery with his own eyes. Thinking that the king was in danger under the artillery fire, Li ignored the closeness of his words and continued to say to Fuyu Zhang: "Wang, the villain dares not speak out to withdraw his troops, but the Tang people come from afar, and there may not be only four large ships. If they have a rear army, with the king's current defensive power, I'm afraid..."

"Forget it, order the troops to retreat." Fu Yuzhang had made a decision before the messenger finished speaking, and said to the confidant general who had just spoken: "Yan Da, I will give you 20,000 soldiers later. You and the messenger will go back to the capital with a starry night, and you must not be negligent."

Yan Da was a tall and strong man. A ferocious scar on his left face added a kind of fierce aura to him. Looking at the battlefield where the sound of killing sounds shook the sky not far away, he said in a rough voice: "Wang, Guanshan City can break the city in another half a day. Why not wait until the city is broken before returning to help?"

"This matter is not that simple. You can bring people back to the rescue first, and then talk about other matters later."

The name of Fuyu Chapter is Tiger King, but the word "Tiger" is not a tiger.

It was certainly easy for him to break the city and grab people, but the sudden Tang army naval force him to consider the consequences of doing so, even if the navy did not hang any flags.

This is the disadvantage of having a strong neighbor. You must consider the reaction of that strong neighbor when doing anything yourself.

"Abide by the order!" Although Yan Da still couldn't figure it out, he did not mean to disobey Fuyu Zhang and took the order and left.

In addition, the Baekje soldiers who were attacking ahead also received the order to retreat, gradually retreated from the city and retreated back to the base camp, forming a confrontation under Guanshan City again.

Looking at the Baekje soldiers who retreated like a tide, the lucky defenders on the city wall cried and hugged, and after a moment they collectively faced Shande and bowed their knees: "Queen, Wan Sheng! Tianyou Silla! Tianyou King!"

Shande looked at the retreating Baekje soldiers and were both worried and happy. What he was happy was that Baekje finally retreated, giving him a chance to breathe, but he was worried that Baekje retreated without being in chaos. I wonder if it was Fuyuzhang on the opposite side that had other plans.

His eyes turned back to the veterans in front of him who had been fighting for the rest of his life. Queen Shande's eyes were a little wet. She stepped forward to help the person closest to him, and said warmly: "Get up, thank you all for your hard work."

"We are not suffering, and I am willing to fight to the death for my king!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

People say that the soldiers will win, but seeing that the morale of the defenders is available, Shande is somewhat relieved.

But... Seeing that the troops were very different, reinforcements from various places in Silla were delayed, so they only placed their hopes on the sad soldiers and would win. In the face of absolute strength, it seems that these four words do not make people feel safe at all.

"Why should you withdraw your troops?"

"King, our army will soon be able to break through the city. Now all the efforts to retreat are wasted!"

"king……"

In the Baekje camp, the generals who retreated from the battlefield had already been red-eyed and came to the central army's tent in confusion, and they all asked questions.

"Enough!" If it weren't for the powerful neighbor's thrust, how could Fuyu Zhang want to withdraw his troops? Looking at the arrogant generals in the camp, he slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "What do you look like? Could it be that you want to force the palace?!"

"I don't dare!" Seeing that Fu Yuzhang was angry, the generals calmed down a little.

Fuyu Zhang waited for a while, and saw that everyone stopped talking, then he started to speak: "The Tang army is here, and the troops are coming to the capital."

"What?"

"How is this possible, where did they come from?"

"So what if Tang Jun comes? I, Baekje, are you still afraid of him?"

In an instant, the generals reacted inconsistently, some were frightened, some were indignant, and some were indifferent.

After a long time, everyone who was talking about it finally noticed that Fu Yuzhang, who had not spoken for a long time, had gradually closed his mouth.

Only the close minister of Fuyuzhang, Sha Yangyan, was angry: "Wang, what if the Tang army comes? I am full of talents and strong soldiers, so why are you afraid of him?"

The eight major clans of Baekje are Yan, Sha, Ji, Jie, Zhen, Guo, Wood, and Xi.

Apart from the Fuyu family, the Yan clan and Sha clan are the top of these eight clans. Yan Da, who was just sent away by Fuyu Zhang, is the eldest son of the Yan clan generation. He has a gentle temperament and is considered to be a wise general.

Although Sha Yangyan's status is the same as that of Yan Da, his personality is as popular as his name. He has always pursued the principle of not making a fuss if he can do it, and belongs to the category of a fierce general.

Therefore, after hearing his complaints, Fu Yuzhang just glanced at him lightly, ignored him at all, and said to others: "The Tang army only dispatched four warships this time, and within half an hour, the navy stationed in the royal capital was destroyed."

Now, the few people who were indifferent just now also changed their faces: "What? How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible." Fu Yuzhang obviously did not want to have meaningless arguments with his subordinates on this matter. He glanced at everyone coldly and continued: "I have sent Yan Da to lead 20,000 troops back to guard the capital. I believe that news will come soon."

"Wang, do you know how many people the Tang army came this time? Did the Tang army express their intention?" After hearing Fuyu Zhang's arrangement, someone finally asked a more constructive question.

But what is disappointing is that Fu Yuzhang just shook his head: "Everything is unknown. The Prime Minister sent someone to send news, saying that the Tang army had magic weapons in his hand, but could destroy our naval warship with one blow. As for other news...
