bastard seizes tang

Chapter 850
Qinling led the army to attack the city, using the name of "prospering the king's division and seeking injustice". The so-called injustice is naturally the Silla monarchs and ministers who despised the Tang army soldiers who helped Silla suppress the bandits, and it is justified.

However, although the name is correct, objective problems still exist. This towering golden city still stands in front of the soldiers of the Tang army, blocking the way for the soldiers of the Tang army to enter the city.

Qinling led a total of no more than [-] soldiers, but there were tens of thousands of Silla soldiers in Jincheng, and more than [-] civilians. These are the reserves that can be forced to defend the city at any time. Naturally, it is impossible to take Jincheng by storm, and another shortcut must be found.

The south gate of Jincheng, above the city wall.

Jin Chunqiu and his son Jin Famin were standing on the city wall, looking at Tang Jun who had been staying below the city for three days, their brows were tightly furrowed.

"Father, what's the meaning of the Tang army's surprise attack, besieged but not attacked?" Jin Famin looked at the Tang army under the city and asked Jin Chunqiu puzzled.

Qinling attacked the city, encircling one and missing three, Jin Famin had never seen this battle before, in fact, not only Jin Famin, but also Jin Chunqiu was seeing it for the first time, Jin Chunqiu was really puzzled.

Jin Chunqiu said: "I don't know what kind of thoughts the Tang army has, but although the Tang army is besieging but not attacking, and has no intention of ascending the city, we must not be careless, especially the east and west gates and the north gate. Army raid."

Although Jin Chunqiu is in charge of Hwarang, he is a politician and seldom in charge of the army. His words are a bit far-fetched. The four gates of Jincheng, the Silla people are all equipped with heavy troops, and they have a good location. The Tang army wants to raid the city. Impossible.

Jin Famin said: "Father, as far as my son knows, the commander of the Tang army's siege this time is called Qinling. He is from Tubo. He married a Tubo princess and came to Chang'an back then. He didn't come to Tang according to his own wishes. Would he not like this?" Could it be intentional slack and unwillingness to contribute?"

Hearing this, Jin Chunqiu shook his head without hesitation and said, "You don't know Qinling, don't you also know Liu Rengui? Liu Rengui is treacherous and ambitious, how could he make such a stupid decision to appoint an untrustworthy Tubo general. I think what Qin Ling did must be intentional, the purpose is to make our army slack off, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity."

Among the good soldiers in Silla Kingdom, Jin Yuxin was the first to be promoted, and neither Jin Chunqiu nor Jin Famin was good at military strategy, so when they faced the layout of Qinling, they couldn't guess Qinling's intentions, and all they could do was be careful. Guard the city cautiously, and don't even dare to take the initiative to send troops to try to fight.

The layout of the Qinling Mausoleum was so mysterious that Jin Chunqiu and his son could not see the clues. However, this mystery did not last long, because soon what happened in the city solved the confusion of their father and son. It's already too late.

Jin Chunqiu and Jin Famin were personally urging the soldiers to defend the city, when the city general Jin Zhenzhu also came from the city and climbed onto the city wall.

Jin Zhenzhu is Jin Chunqiu's confidant, in charge of the deployment of all the troops in Jincheng during the war, as soon as he boarded the city wall, while walking, he said to Jin Chunqiu: "Mr. Chunqiu, something is wrong."

Jin Zhenzhu's footsteps were hasty, and her voice was even more hasty. When Jin Chunqiu heard Jin Zhenzhu's words, his heart suddenly collapsed, knowing that something important must have happened.

"What's the matter?" Jin Chunqiu forced his composure, turned around and asked Jin Zhenzhu.

Jin Zhenzhu stepped forward and replied: "Mr. Chunqiu, the city is already in chaos, it is completely in chaos. Now many people are gathering at the North Gate Foreign Exchange, clamoring to leave the city, and their attitude is very tough."

Hearing Jin Zhenzhu's words, Jin Chunqiu was stunned for a while, Silla and Tang Dynasty, the war between the two countries is imminent, and now there are people in the city clamoring to leave the city, what is the meaning of this?
But then, Jin Chunqiu thought about it and understood the key point. Jin Chunqiu refused the request of the Tang army to enter the city for repairs, so that he offended the Tang army and caused swordsmen between the two countries. Now, those people in the city who want to go out of the city don't like him Jin Chunqiu, and they are afraid of being implicated by Jin Chunqiu, so they want to leave from the north gate that the Tang army has not yet surrounded.

Jin Chunqiu immediately said: "You must not let people go, once you let people go at this time, the people in the city will be scattered, and this battle will definitely be lost."

As Jin Chunqiu said, he gave an order to Jin Zhenzhu: "From now on, no one is allowed to go out of the city. If anyone speaks out of the city to take refuge or even breaks through the gate, you can kill him on the spot."

What Jin Chunqiu did was vigorous and resolute, but Jin Zhenzhu's face became embarrassed when he heard Jin Chunqiu's words.

Jin Zhenzhu said to Jin Chunqiu: "It's not just the ordinary people who want to leave the city today, there are children from Pu, Xi, Jin and other Zhengu families who are making trouble at the north gate today, down to Yitou and ordinary people in the city. , if you kill someone, there will be a big mess."

In the Silla dynasty, Pu, Xi, and Jin were the most expensive, and they were all holy bones and real bones. They may not be as powerful as Jin Chunqiu, but they are also big and deep-rooted, so the old ones are everywhere, and they cannot be killed.

Jin Zhenzhu's words immediately put Jin Chunqiu into a dilemma, whether to kill or not to kill, it will shake people's hearts, and this is exactly what Qin Ling wants to see.

In the battle of attacking the fortifications, breaking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. It is not easy for Qin Ling to break the city, so he chose to attack the heart, breaking the hearts of Silla from within the Jincheng city.

On the one hand, Qinling ordered people to enter Jincheng City early, spread the news, and told the whole city that the Tang army had won a big victory in Goguryeo, killed Yuangai Suwen, captured Gaozang King alive, and completely pacified Goguryeo.

On the other hand, when people in Jincheng were panicking, Qin Ling led the army to besiege the city, besieging one and missing three, giving enough space for the Silla people to avoid, in order to shake the determination of the Silla people to defend the city from the bottom of their hearts.

Jin Famin hurriedly said: "Father, you can't kill him. Once you kill him, you will offend the entire powerful family in Silla. Even if they don't say anything because of Father's power, we will be in a difficult situation."

"Yangmou, this is Yangmou. The siege of the city can still be done like this. This Qinling is really amazing." Jin Chunqiu heard what Jin Famin said, and knew the seriousness of the matter, and sighed repeatedly.

At this point, Jin Chunqiu didn't know Qinling's plan. Qinling mobilized troops to encircle one and lack three. This was telling the people of Silla that the Tang army had no intention of killing them all. The Tang army just wanted to enter the city.

Of the four gates of Jincheng, Tang Jun only surrounded one of them, and the remaining three gates could leave. This gave enough space and time for Silla people to escape. As long as they leave Jincheng now, their lives can be saved, and Tang Jun will not make things difficult. But if he still refuses to leave at this time, he will fight the Tang army to the end. When the Northern Expedition army returns to the broken city, life and death will be unpredictable.

Jin Zhenzhu asked: "Mr. Chunqiu, this city is already hard to defend, what should we do now?"

Jin Zhenzhu's words were heard, Jin Chunqiu looked at Qinling standing under the city, gritted his teeth and said: "The matter has come to this point, the Tang army has made a choice for us. Qinling has assembled the siege forces here, and what we are waiting for is Fight with us, send the order, and the three armies will go out of the city to fight, if we win, we can still live, if we lose, we will die sooner or later."
