Chapter 393 Rescue
Li Xiao currently has 33,000 troops, but the 33,000 troops belong to the five governors and sixteen governors. As the deputy governor, Li Xiao only has 6,000 soldiers. Three thousand Tang troops and three thousand Baiji troops, these soldiers must be responsible for guarding the Xiongjin Governor's Office hundreds of miles from Baijiangkou to Siqi City.
The soldiers were still scattered, which was the situation of the generals guarding Baekje at this time.
Liu Boying had only 6,000 soldiers in his hands, and he had to defend the states. He was besieged for a long time and had only 1,000 soldiers under his command. The Tang soldiers of the personal guards were only 100, and the remaining nine hundred were all the village warriors recruited in Baekje.
久迟只是一座边境小城,城小墙矮.
He came here to inspect, but he encountered the rebellion of the Baekje people and was surrounded. Fortunately, he had rich experience on the battlefield and relied on a small city with thousands of troops, but he could only repel several attacks from the Baekje people.
Standing on the top of the city, Liu Boying gasped with his sword. He could no longer see the direction in the distance. Countless Baekje rebels and Japanese troops stirred up huge smoke and dust. Black smoke was emitted from all over the village dynasty outside the city.
他们已经被叛军的潮水包围了.
Fight broke out in some places, and it was probably the village warriors who were in the villages and fields, and fighting against the Baekje rebels. In some places, there was no fighting at all, and perhaps the Baekje Township Warriors surrendered directly.
At this time, Jiuchicheng was surrounded by group of people, and even if Liu Boying wanted to break through, he would not be able to do so.
“但愿能来的及向节帅禀报!”
In the past, Liu Boying looked down on Li Xiao very much, thinking that he was a young country man who was a festival coach in Baekje, which was like a joke, but at this time he hoped that Li Xiao could come to rescue him.
Thinking of Li Xiao's wise victory over Siqi City, a last glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
"Don't worry, the governor, there are no Goguryeo people in the rebels, and as long as the Goguryeo people have not gone south, we still have a glimmer of hope."
Now only Baekje rebels and Japanese soldiers were seen outside the city, but no Goguryeo people were seen, which was the only good news. This is very close to Goguryeo. Once the Goguryeo people no longer care about the Tang Dynasty and directly sending troops south, they would have no chance to escape.
Under the city.
The Japanese general Naijing Bencai squinted his eyes and looked at Jiuchi City. A small city blocked several attacks from their more than 30,000 troops.
"General Fuxin, it seems that the Tang people did have a few tricks." He praised the Tang general, but he also spoke sarcastically, which was ridiculing the uselessness of the Baekje people.
The ghost room Fuxin was also a little angry. A small city had been fighting for so long. It was already under his plan. He knew that Liu Boying, who was guarding the northern part of Baekje, was going to go out of the palace to patrol. So he had been waiting for this day. When Liu Boying left the stronger Mahan City and arrived at the small Jiuchi City, he led the crowd to stir up trouble and surrounded Liu Boying.
I originally thought of annihilated Liu Boying here in one fell swoop, winning the first battle, strengthening the momentum of Baekje's national army, and capturing and killing a general of the Tang army, and then taking advantage of the situation to capture the northern cities. In this way, Baekje can restore the northern border.
谁能料到,这个刘伯英居然如此能战.
What was even more unexpected was that the Baekje soldiers under Liu Boying were still helping him. He always thought that if they were under the flag of restoring the country, the Baekje Township Warriors under the Tang Dynasty would not immediately turn against each other?
"General Naojing, we soldiers were all gathered together in a hurry. We were not soldiers in the past, and we had not received much training and did not have much experience in siege." The ghost room Fuxin said to Naojing Nuan, "If we do not take down this city immediately, then we can implement a plan to catch Tangren off guard. We cannot give Tangren a chance to react, and we must be quick. Please ask General Naojing to take action and help us capture this city."
Nakai Bencai squinted his eyes and smiled, but he didn't say anything.
"General Naojing, if you capture this city, all the gold, silver and wealth in the city will belong to you."
"Are you going to take action?" Naoi smiled, "If you think you can't capture this city, you can ask us to take action, but the conditions must be determined by me. If you capture this city, the women of gold, silver, treasures and food in the city will be owned by our army. How about?"
The Ghost Shi Fuxin was secretly annoyed the Japanese's greed, but in the end he gritted his teeth and agreed.
······
Xiongjin, Baijiang Fort.
Li Xiao summoned the generals in the army to discuss matters, and Liu Jun, the envoy of the army, informed the generals of military information.
In the hall, under Li Xiao, Zhao Chiman, Xue Chuyu, Cheng Boxian, Liu Jun, Wang Fangyi, Qin Xiong and Liu Wen were all there. The nine brothers who had blood in the prison of Dali Temple in Chang'an, except for Li Yuanfang who was still in Chang'an, the other eight brothers gathered here at this moment.
Zhao Chiman was always following Li Xiao, the military envoy in front of his yamen. Liu Jun was originally the magistrate of Danluo County to recover from the rear, but now he has been promoted to the governor of the Xiongjin Governor's Office. In addition, Wang Fangyi and others have been fighting under Su Lie and Xue Rengui before. When they left, they kept these people at Li Xiao's request.
Li Xiao told the court that they were governors. These people had military achievements in the battle to destroy Baekje. Their rank was not low, so it was certainly no problem to be governors in Baekje.
"General Liu must be rescued!"
Li Xiao spoke and set a tone first.
"I must save you, but I'm afraid that the distance will not relieve the near fire." Wang Fangyi said. From Baijiangkou to Jiuchi City, the straight line distance is 300 miles, but the actual distance is more than 500 miles.
Emergency relief is like putting out a fire, but five hundred miles away is a big trouble.
Another big problem is that the people of Baekje are now holding the flag of restoration, and they are afraid that rebellions in various places will surging. At this time, they will be unable to successfully rescue Liu Boying from a long distance.
"I am afraid that the land march will not be peaceful, and I will probably encounter many rebels harassing and intercepting them." Zhao Chiman also made an opinion.
Li Xiao opened a Baekje map.
"I have an idea, that is, I'm a little bold."
"Jingshuai said, let's discuss it again." said the elder brother Qin Xiong.
Li Xiao pointed to the map, "Please see, we are now at the mouth of Baijiang, which is by the sea. Jiuchi City is north of us, and is 500 miles apart. If we rush to reinforce by land, it will probably take a long time and we will face harassment from rebels along the way. But what if we go on the sea?"
"Sea Road?"
Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and he looked at the map, "Yes, Jiuchi City is not far from the sea, probably less than a hundred miles."
Marching on land will cause harassment.
But what about the sea?
With the current Tang army's maritime driving and combat capabilities, the Baekje people will definitely not be able to pose a threat.
On the other hand, although it seems that the distance is longer, the sea speed is faster. It takes only a few hours to get from Baijiangkou to the port near Jiuchicheng by boat.
When you arrive at the port, you will have less than a hundred miles of land left, and you will be able to reach the city in half a day.
The most critical point is that if they pass by the sea, they will inevitably be far beyond the expectations of the Baekje people. At that time, they will come out from behind the Baekje rebels, and wouldn't they kill them unexpectedly?
"Okay, this trick is good!"
"Sea rescue, one day is enough."
"I believe Liu Bofang can only hold on for a day."
All the generals said with a laugh.
The situation that was originally bound to die is now solved in one move.
"Then it's settled. I'll be dispatched to the ship immediately and set off immediately."
Chapter completed!
