Chapter 828
The defeat of the Japanese country directly determined the direction of the entire Baekje battlefield. With the annihilation of the Japanese army, the situation on the Baekje battlefield became clear, and the destruction of the Baekje country was a foregone conclusion.

At the beginning of May, with more than [-] soldiers, Guishi Fuxin and Heizhisha, who were entrenched in Zhouliu City, surrendered the city several times. The south of Sibi City depends on the wind. To save his life, he also sent envoys to surrender, and asked Su Dingfang to go to Xiongjin City to surrender.

The reason why Fuyu Yici asked Su Dingfang to come to Woongjin City quickly was because Kim Yushin was besieging Woongjin City, and Silla and Baekje were feuds.

But for this matter, Su Dingfang was not so eager, because Xiongjin is a strong city, and there are [-] Baekje elites in Xiongjin City, and the military officer Zoping Qin Wujin who is in charge of the city is also a veteran. break.

After Su Dingfang received Fuyu Yici's letter of surrender, he did not immediately order troops to set off, and then slowly assembled the army to prepare for war. After six or seven days, he set off for the north after settling the affairs of Zhouliu City and southern Baekje.

When Su Dingfang led an army of [-] men and marched slowly northward, it was almost mid-May when the army arrived outside Xiongjin City, and the Xinluo army had already attacked the city for almost ten days.

This time, I don't know if it was because Jin Yuxin was afraid of Su Dingfang's punishment or because of the property in Xiongjin City, Jin Yuxin commanded the siege very hard during the ten days, and the siege continued for days, even in rainy days.

It's just that although Jin Yuxin rushed to attack the city, the people of Baekje defended the territory even more desperately for their own lives. They attacked the city for ten days in a row. It was able to win Xiongjin City, which was united by the army and the people, until Su Dingfang arrived at Xiongjin City.

When Su Dingfang's army arrived outside Xiongjin City, it was just before noon, and Jin Yuxin attacked the city and returned to the camp in half a day. As soon as Jin Yuxin got the news that Su Dingfang had arrived, without any delay, he ordered Jin Wenying to prepare the troops in the camp. On the one hand, he hurriedly went to the Tang army camp to meet Su Dingfang.

"The last general was not good at attacking the city, and he didn't go down for days, yet the general labored himself to lead the army here. I beg the general to come down." Seeing Su Dingfang's face, Jin Yuxin bowed down in front of Su Dingfang and pleaded guilty.

Su Dingfang looked at Jin Yuxin who was worshiping in front of him, and he didn't make him stand up, but said first: "Xiongjin is a strong city after all, if the city cannot be attacked, I shouldn't blame you, after all, you have tried your best , but as far as I know, the fact may not be the case, "

Jin Yuxin knew what Su Dingfang said, and asked, "What the general said was about the last general standing still outside Xiongjin City?"

Su Dingfang said displeased: "You still know."

Jin Yu said: "General Rong, this matter is not intended by the last general, but also a helpless act."

"How do you say that?" Su Dingfang asked Jin Yuxin.

Jin Yuxin then replied: "Since the last general led the army to go out, he has been unwell. He even fell ill outside Xiongjin City a few days ago. He was sick for several days. There is no one in the army to lead the army. I am afraid that something will happen and the general will be damaged." Therefore, we can only stick to it first, and attack the city after the last general recovers from illness, and I hope the general will clearly observe it."

The reason given by Kim Yu-shin is a bit far-fetched. After all, Kim Yu-shin is not the only general in the Silla army.

Su Dingfang said: "General Jin, Xiongjin City is where Baekje King Fuyu Yici resides. It has a lot to do with it, but the siege of the city is not a child's play. The delay of the military plane because of your illness is not the reason why Xiongjin City has not been taken yet. After all, it was captured as scheduled. Xiongjin City was something you agreed to at the beginning, and this commander never forced you."

At the beginning, in order to be able to get out of the battle between Tang and Japan, Jin Yuxin agreed to Liu Ingui's opinion to send the Silla army to attack Woongjin Castle, but now the result of the Battle of Tang and Japan was beyond Jin Yuxin's expectations, and he also failed to meet the expectations of Woongjin Castle. It is impossible for him to stay out of the matter with an excuse of getting sick.

Jin Yu said: "The crime of this matter lies with the general, and the general is willing to bear it all."

This is not the first time that the Silla army failed in battle. When the Tang army landed in Baekje, the Silla army failed to break through the Huangshan defense line set up by Jie Bo, so the Tang army had to attack head-on. This time the Silla Army made the same mistake again.

Jin Yuxin is not sure about Su Dingfang's thoughts about committing the wrongdoing again. If Su Dingfang must pursue the wrongdoing in this battle, Jin Yuxin's bottom line is to bear all the crimes by himself, and then protect the soldiers of Xinluo. Maybe he can use his own life to wake up the defense of the Tang army in the whole country, which is worthwhile.

Jin Yuxin's thoughts are certainly good, but what Su Dingfang wants is not Jin Yuxin's life, so Su Dingfang will not easily do anything to Jin Yuxin before the time is right.

Su Dingfang bent down to support Jin Yuxin, and said: "Although you are under the command of this commander, you are not from the Tang Dynasty after all. If this commander punishes you, it will be somewhat inappropriate. I will write down this past first, and I will write to you when the squadron returns victorious tomorrow." King Silla, ask her to deal with you."

What the Silla Kingdom was talking about was Jin Chunqiu. Handing Kim Yushin to the King of Silla was actually handing over to Jin Chunqiu.

After Jin Yuxin got up, he said to Su Dingfang: "Thank you for your forgiveness, General, please give the general three more days, and in three more days, the general will definitely take Xiongjin."

Xiongjin City is an old capital and an important town, very rich and prosperous. Before that, Su Dingfang had promised Jin Yuxin that as long as Jin Yuxin could win Xiongjin City, everything in this Xiongjin City would be his.

Now that the Silla army has been besieging the city for many days, and seeing that Woongjin City is in sight, Jin Yuxin naturally wants to work harder and take down Woongjin City. After all, the Silla soldiers have been on the march for nearly two months, and he always wants to give them an explanation. .

However, what Su Dingfang said next completely broke Jin Yuxin's plan. Su Dingfang said: "No need, you tell your people to withdraw from the front line of the siege. The King of Baekje has already asked the commander to surrender, and the commander has already agreed." , This time, the commander-in-chief is here to accept the surrender."

When Jin Yuxin heard this, he became anxious. They had been attacking Xiongjin City for ten days, and more than ten thousand Silla soldiers were killed or injured. Seeing that the city defenses were gradually loosened, they could take it in a few days. If he retreats, his tens of thousands of soldiers will all die in vain, so how can he not be in a hurry.

Jin Yu said: "General, our Silla soldiers have been besieging the city for many days, with heavy casualties, and it seems that we will be able to take Woongjin City. Withdrawing at this time is tantamount to a failure."

Su Dingfang said: "It's because your troops suffered heavy casualties, that's why this commander took your situation into consideration and asked you to retreat, lest you continue to attack the city, which will delay the battle opportunity and increase casualties."

Jin Yuxin was still fighting and said: "We have killed and injured more than ten thousand people because of Xiongjin City, and suffered heavy losses. If we can't take the supply of Xiongjin City, I am afraid that the king and the generals on the other side will not be able to explain it. I hope the general will give the last three days. time, no, two days, two days will do.”

If Silla retreats now and allows the Baekje people to surrender, then Woongjin Castle cannot be regarded as captured by the Silla army, and the capture of the city has nothing to do with the Silla army. The only thing left in Silla is the death and injury of more than [-] people. Nothing else, he really can't explain to the people of the country.

Jin Yuxin did have his difficulties, he was about to cry, but why would Su Dingfang care about him?
Su Dingfang said: "It's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's just that you are useless. You can't beat an isolated city after more than ten days of effort. I don't have the time to waste time with you here. I will return Baekje as soon as possible." If you want to go north to Goguryeo, this matter is settled, there is no need to discuss it again."
