Chapter 37 Heavenly Soldiers shine under the snow under the Jade Pass
"The hungry people confused the Tang army, and the elite soldiers in the hundreds of battles stole the city at night, and assassinated the Tang army general.
If successful, the Tang army will collapse without fighting.
Even if it doesn't work, we have a second step.
After the agreement with Goguryeo, there were already archery and crossbow divisions under the Great Molizhi of the Goguryeo tribe, and the followers passed the way to Baekje."
"Will the city lord let go along the way?"
"With the king's righteousness, there is no need to enter the city. They just need to provide some food and grass. Most of the city lords are willing to do so.
Even if a few people don’t want to, they can still plunder the places, and those villages and towns have food and grass.”
Daochen said slowly.
From his voice, Fuyufeng smelled a strange murderous aura.
I couldn't help but feel a little cold in the vest.
When Goguryeo people entered Baekje, they asked Baekje people to provide food and grass. If the city lord was unwilling to provide it, the Goguryeo people would rob the villages and towns.
It can be imagined that even if these people robbed, even if they did not kill people, the elderly, young, women and children in the village would not survive if they lost their food reserves.
How could the Goguryeo people not kill anyone when they entered Baekje?
Those Goguryeo people are all murderous devils!
The Peninsula, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the national strength of the Three Kingdoms is the strongest.
Silla is second.
Baekje is the weakest.
When Goguryeo was at its peak, it was 600,000 armor.
From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains regime regarded Goguryeo as a major concern.
Whenever there was war in the Central Plains, Goguryeo tried its best to expand.
From a small territory on the peninsula, it gradually annexed most of Liaodong, causing a strong rebound from the Central Plains dynasty.
But the bravery of the Goguryeo people also caused great losses to the Central Plains people.
The habit of semi-nomadic and semi-farming made the Goguryeo people both have the aggressiveness of nomadic people and the resilience of farming civilization.
In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong defeated Goguryeo's 150,000 troops on the front battlefield with nearly 50,000 elite Tang dynasties, annihilated more than half of them.
Although this battle reflected the abundant martial ethics of the Tang Dynasty, it eventually came to An City and the Tang army could not continue to go deeper.
Goguryeo still did not hurt his muscles and bones.
Although the Tang army won a big tactical victory, it was not easy to win.
Wei Ting, Cui Renshi, and Yang Shidao were demoted or exempted for their poor performance.
Zhang Junyi and Fu Fuai were beheaded for their mistakes.
Ashinosheer, Chebre Heli, Ashinosmo, and Li Daozong were seriously injured.
Wang Junye, Yan Shigu, Cen Wenben, and Jiang Xingben died of illness or injury.
These people were all famous generals of the founding country of the Tang Dynasty.
Whichever one is taken out is a star that shocks all directions.
But in the battle against Goguryeo, most of the senior commanders of the Tang army had to fight in person, and they were bayonets with the Goguryeo people.
It can be imagined that in the battle at that time, the Goguryeo people brought great pressure to the Tang army.
Although the Tang army has few people, it has already used every point of its potential.
If it weren't for the invincible army that was aimed at in the early Tang Dynasty, the group of military generals gathered with famous generals, the powerful and majestic imperial dispatch of the imperial court, plus a famous emperor of the ages, the famous general among the famous generals, Taizong Li Shimin.
If anyone comes up, he will be afraid that he will collapse in a blast under Goguryeo's desperate counterattack.
The former Sui Dynasty was the best proof.
When Emperor Yang of Sui wiped out the previous dynasty, his use of troops was like urging withered and rotten.
In history books, it is generally said that those battles were fought by generals under Emperor Yang of Sui, but one problem is ignored.
The battle was also commanded by Emperor Yang of Sui, why was the conquest of Goguryeo a result of a crushing defeat?
In the Battle of Sashui, Goguryeo annihilated 80,000 elite troops of the Sui Dynasty.
In the Battle of Snake Water, Goguryeo defeated Pang Xiaotai's troops with more and more.
There is only one answer.
At its peak, Goguryeo was a regional overlord whose martial virtues were no less than that of the Central Plains dynasty.
Goguryeo was not a soft persimmon, but was no less than the overlords of Tubo, Nanzhao and Xixia later.
If it weren't for the strategy of Emperor Taizong's 19th year of Zhenguan, as well as a series of subsequent means, it would have continued to weaken.
The current Goguryeo will be even stronger.
It even became another "Tubo" of the Tang Dynasty.
A centipede insect will die without being stiff.
Even if Goguryeo is now weakened by the legacy left by Emperor Taizong, Liaodong has been recaptured by the Tang Dynasty.
Goguryeo is still the most powerful of the three kingdoms on the peninsula.
In addition to national strength, martial ethics.
Goguryeo also has unpredictable "ghost soldiers" with ghosts and gods.
Legend has it that during the war between Sui and Goguryeo in the Dalun period, Goguryeo's general Yizhi Wende led a large army of ghost soldiers, killing the Sui army to collapse.
It eventually led to the overall defeat of the Sui army.
In the past twenty years, although I have not heard of Goguryeo sending out ghost soldiers again.
But who can be sure that at the critical moment of life and death, Goguryeo would not send out those mysterious and powerful ghost soldiers again?
Moreover, with the power of Goguryeo, in addition to the ghost soldiers, there are countless methods.
Among them, the The Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Crossbowmen have always been the trump card of Goguryeo.
It is said that in the 19th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was shot by the Goguryeo's Theatre, and the crossbow arrows were like rain, which forced the Tang army to end up with a grudge.
All this flashed through Fuyufeng's heart.
He heard Daochen continue, "With the assistance of Goguryeo's crossbow warships, we will definitely kill and injure the Tang army in large quantities, and our sacrifice last night will definitely be rewarded."
"For... why?"
Fuyufeng stammered: "The Tang people are powerful, relying on Goguryeo alone... and Goguryeo is not a good person. When they come in, they are afraid they will..."
"Don't worry, the Goguryeo people are always outsiders, they are rootless grasses, and they will eventually rely on us. And there are Japanese people behind us, and they can use Japanese to control the Goguryeo people, and there is also the Tang Dynasty behind Goguryeo.
They can't stay here, and after using them, we can calmly clean up the situation."
"That……"
"Your Majesty, go down and rest. Calculate the time. It's time for the old minister to set off.
Please be patient with good news from the old ministers with peace of mind.
After conquering Siqi and returning to the old capital, the king raised his arms and shouted, and the heroes from all directions followed the scenery. I, Baekje, can restore the country again."
Really?
Fuyufeng didn't ask for the exit.
He could see that although Daochen in front of him looked very gentle, the fanaticism that emerged from his old body made Fu Yufeng wonder if this person was already crazy.
It is supported by a concept called "restoring the country".
Anyone who dares to question will be removed by Daochen as a stumbling block.
Even though he was the king of Baekje's restoration, Fu Yufeng did not dare to disobey Daochen at this time.
I had to retreat in fear.
Deep down in my heart, I was really worried whether this old monk would go crazy one day and want to get rid of himself.
Who can tell the future exactly what is going on?
...
Collapse collapse!
The crossbow arrow, as thick as a child's arm, shot out from the crossbow machine, crossed a distance of ten meters, and penetrated into the city wall.
The Goguryeo people are famous for their arrows.
The arrow rain formed by the thousands of Goguryeo crossbows under the city was even more powerful than the archers of tens of thousands of people.
After a night of fighting, the Tang army had been disrupted.
At this time, facing the Goguryeo crossbow arrow mixed with Baekje people, he was suppressed so much that he couldn't raise his head.
What's even more serious is that the crossbow arrows are nailed to the wall and become a natural climbing ladder.
The rebels did not need a siege ladder, they could climb up with bare hands.
"Kill and kill~"
On the battlefield, thick smoke rolled.
The hungry people of Baekje, whose eyes were red due to hunger, were driven behind by the officers, and numbly towards Siqian City like walking corpses, rushing up one after another.
The sparse arrows in the Tang army city could not stop these rebels who were hungry and unreasonable.
Countless ragged refugees rushed to the city, clutching the crossbow arrows with their hands and feet.
Some people are nailed to death by their own arrows.
Blood gushed out.
The people behind seemed to be invisible, stepping on the corpses of their predecessors and keep moving forward.
"Roll it! Break Siqi, everyone will have something to eat, otherwise they will all starve to death!"
"If you want food, break the city of Siqi!"
"There is something to eat in the city, and there are hot rice and hot dishes!"
All kinds of bewitching voices echoed among the hungry people.
This is a tragic scene like hell.
Collapse ~
The crossbow arrows rushed to Siqi City frantically.
As soon as a Tang soldier took advantage of the gap, he stood up and wanted to shoot an arrow and fight back, he was penetrated by crossbow arrows.
The tough armor cannot stop the huge potential energy brought by the crossbow arrows.
The body was torn in half like paper
Blood rain splashed on the top of the city.
Several Tang soldiers poured boiling water from the top of the city.
With the sound of squeaking, the hungry people climbing the city below were scalded and their flesh was rotten.
A strange smell of meat being scalded rose from the city.
However, this smell only made Tang Jun feel nauseous.
"Golden juice! Send someone to collect the gold juice and bring it up."
"The hot oil is gone, and the water is almost gone!"
"I'll ask someone to demolish the house, and there's a need to roll wood and beat stones here!"
At the top of the Tang army's city, hoarse shouts came one after another.
Among the chaotic troops under the city, there were a pair of calm eyes as snow-like as ice and snow, quietly watching everything.
It's like an outsider.
No matter how many casualties or injuries are on both sides, or how tragic the deaths are, these eyes cannot be touched at all.
"General Shazha, the soldiers in front said that they were exhausted and asked for a rest."
A messenger knelt in front of Shazha Xiangru.
Shazha Xiangru's dark face showed no trace of emotional fluctuations, but he just stared at the top of Siqian City without moving.
He said slowly: "Tell me the order, if anyone dares to retreat, kill! The general is dead, the deputy general is dead, the battalion commander is dead, the battalion commander is dead, the captain is ahead.
Never withdraw troops unless you break through Siqi City.”
"yes!"
Sweat from the forehead of the soldiers who were sent to the command rolled down.
Only he knew that in the past six months, Shazha Xiangru had taken over many chaotic soldiers and hungry people, and selected the soldiers from Baekje to train them.
This army is Baekje's last power.
If this truly elite force mixed with the hungry people is exhausted, Baekje, who else can turn the tide?
"Why don't you go?"
Shazha Xiangru's majestic voice sounded above his head.
The soldier was shocked and hurriedly got up to pass the order.
Just halfway through the run, I suddenly heard a loud noise.
The soldier looked up and saw a scene that he would never forget for his life—
The gate of Siqi City is opened!
Could it be...
Did we win?
We have captured the old capital?
The ecstasy in the soldier's heart just rose when he heard the tsunami cry like a mountain collapse.
Chapter completed!
