Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 503: Cannon fodder! Take down Fu Rang and reward according to merit!

Axe soil.

A cavalryman rushed into the government office at an extremely fast speed.

"My lord, it's bad. The reinforcements coming to help us have been ambushed in Wangfeng Forest!"

"what?"

When Li Bingcheng and others heard about this, their faces changed.

The reinforcements that Akagi came to help them were ambushed by the Tang army!

"How is General Song Mubai doing?"

"My Lord, General Song died in the battle at Wangfeng Forest! Of the 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, only one in ten survived!"

"..."

The entire lobby was dead silent.

Only one in ten of the ten thousand elite soldiers survived, and the leader Song Mubai even died in the battle at Wangfenglin!
This……

Who else can save Furang?
Li Bingcheng felt stars in his eyes and could not help but faint.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

Everyone rushed forward and helped Li Bingcheng who was about to fall.

"I'm fine!"

Li Bingcheng waved his hand, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, regaining some strength.

Now, the reinforcements from Akagi were ambushed by the Tang army, and only one in ten survived. If they want to resist the Tang army, they can only rely on themselves.

But in the current Furang territory, even if all the troops were mobilized, there would only be 10,000 people.

There are even fewer who truly possess practical combat capabilities.

and.

When facing the bombing of the Tang army, can these mobilized soldiers really hold out?

I am afraid that after a round of bombardment, these people will be frightened and dare not fight them head-on.

"Give me the order."

"Mobilize the young men over the age of 20 in the city to participate in the defense of the city. Send people to urge the craftsmen to speed up the task of forging the city defense equipment."

Li Bingcheng knew very well that in the face of the Tang army's firearms, the only thing that could really have an impact on them were large machines like catapults.

Ordinary small arms not only have no deterrent effect on the Tang army, but will instead become a burden to them.

"Sir, if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause resistance from the people in the city."

"Resist?"

Li Bingcheng said in a deep voice, "If Furang City is breached, they may all die here!"

"Have you ever thought about what kind of poisonous person Su Chen is?"

"Just in the Lookout Forest, they used fire to burn to death Song Mubai's 10,000 elite soldiers!"

"If they successfully conquer Furang, will you, me, and even the people in the entire city still be alive?"

Everyone was silent.

They had already heard about Su Chen's reputation.

Even though they had some doubts, after what happened at Wangfenglin, they only had one idea.

That's well-deserved reputation.

Even the poison master they had heard of was just a compliment to Su Chen!
This person is cruel and ruthless, and does not take human life seriously at all.

If he really breaks through the Axe Soil...

They were not sure about the fate of ordinary people, but among those soldiers and officials, they were afraid that few would survive.

"Spread the news about Wangfenglin, and the people in the city will understand us."

"Yes!"

"Order An to patrol outside and investigate the movements of the Tang army and General Yang's movements in the Akagi direction."

Li Bingcheng sighed, "I just hope that General Yang, after learning that the Tang army is attacking Furang, can lead his troops to rush to our aid as soon as possible."

Hear the words.

Everyone was silent.

Yang Mingwu had arranged for Song Mubai to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to come to the rescue, but who could have imagined that the Tang army had set up an ambush in the Wangfenglin in advance, resulting in countless casualties among the 10,000 elite soldiers led by Song Mubai?
and.

From the time they asked for help to now, only a few days had passed, and the reinforcements appeared in Wangfenglin.

Such a fast speed is enough to prove the strength of these ten thousand elite soldiers.

Does Yang Mingwu really have any elite soldiers available?
Inside the Tang army camp outside Furang City.

Su Chen looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile, who looked tired.

"You are really good. You were chased by Yang Mingwu's cavalry, but you managed to shake them off and even captured some Goryeo soldiers."

"Hehe, Your Highness, you are overpraising me. This is because Jing Heng and the other two did a great job."

Cheng Chumo scratched his head. "If Jing Heng and the other two hadn't set a fire in the Lookout Forest, how could we have captured these prisoners so easily?"

"Haha, I love hearing this."

Yuchi Baolin laughed, "Although you got a bargain, it's just because you were lucky."

Li Jingheng: "You killed more than 300 enemies, what's going on?"

Cheng Chumo happily told everyone about how he had arranged for these Korean soldiers to come to Furang.

Everyone was speechless.

The Korean soldiers were forced here through pressure. Those who gave up halfway or wanted to escape were killed by Cheng Chumo and his men as military merits. As for those who managed to get here and were still alive, it was enough to prove that they still had good physical strength and could at least be used.

Su Chen smiled and said, "In that case, let them be cannon fodder."

"Pass the order down, let these Korean soldiers rest for one night, and do not deduct their food. Tomorrow morning, they will be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking Furang."

"Yes!"

……

That night.

The same food as that of the Tang army was delivered to these Goryeo soldiers.

So much so that many people doubted whether they were going to die, otherwise why would they be given such good food?
"Don't doubt it, this is the prince's order."

"Since you have already surrendered to us, you are naturally our comrades. The prince said that if you can perform well in the attack on Furan tomorrow, the prince will not only forgive you for your past mistakes, but also reward you according to your merits."

"really?"

"Is the prince's words false?"

Naturally, the Korean soldiers were a little skeptical of what the cooks said.

However, when the Tang army and Japanese soldiers saw their food and mocked them one after another, they gradually believed this fact.

Their meals were no different from those of the Tang army. Their only requirement was that they would serve as the vanguard when the city was attacked tomorrow.

This was both difficult and helpless for many Goryeo soldiers.

"When you are a soldier, you get paid. So who do you serve? It doesn't matter who you serve."

"If you don't pioneer, you will die."

"What should we do tomorrow?"

Various discussions spread among the many Goryeo soldiers.

However, not a single Goryeo soldier would escape from the Tang army camp just because they had enough food and strength.

Because this is just a fool's dream.

Not to mention the Tang army's benevolent guns, the cavalry alone was enough to kill them all.

run?
Can two legs outrun a four-legged war horse?
Early the next morning.

The drums beat and the soldiers were ready to go.

Su Chen brought Liu Rengui and others to the front of these Goryeo soldiers.

"I think someone must have known that we are going to attack Fu Rang today, and they also know that we will be the vanguard."

Su Chen glanced over and spoke slowly, "I will tell you the truth. The news you heard is true. It is because you are prisoners that I will give you this opportunity."

"Today, those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded according to their merits. If you want to turn against your side in battle, I am not afraid either."

"Whether you live or die depends on your thoughts."

"Get ready."

"Join the army to attack the city later!"

Many Goryeo soldiers nodded in agreement.

As the gate of the military camp opened, the Goryeo soldiers were the first to walk out of the camp, some holding swords and shields, some carrying ladders.

Some people are ready to die, while others have sparkling eyes.

"Your Majesty, if they turn against us in the middle of a battle..."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand. There were only more than a thousand Korean soldiers. Even if they turned against each other in the battle, how much trouble could it bring to them?

At most it's just a waste of some bullets!
Su Chen believed that among the more than 1,000 Goryeo soldiers, there should be many smart ones who would not seek death. As for those who wanted to escape from the battlefield while the two armies were fighting, Su Chen didn't care at all.

As the Tang army's formation was gradually deployed, Li Bingcheng's face on the city wall gradually became gloomy.

Because he clearly saw that the first people to come were a group of soldiers wearing Goryeo armor!
"asshole!"

"These bastards actually surrendered to Su Chen and his gang!"

"Damn it!"

Li Bingcheng was angry, and the soldiers around him were also angry.

They are obviously Koreans, so why would they surrender to Su Chen and his men and instead attack their own city?

"Catapult, crossbow ready!"

Li Bingcheng had a murderous look on his face, "If these people attack the city, shoot them to death immediately!"

Everyone was shocked. It was obvious that these people's rebellious behavior made Li Bingcheng want to kill them.

"let's start."

"Yes!"

As the drums sounded, the Goryeo soldiers in front rushed towards Furang like horses that had broken free from their reins.

period.

However, quite a few Goryeo soldiers chose to run away when they were getting closer to Furang City.

Such an action naturally attracted the attention of the cavalry who had been roaming nearby.

The cavalry team of two hundred people directly chased after the fleeing Goryeo soldiers.

Seeing this, the remaining people no longer dared to think of escaping and rushed straight towards Furang.

at the same time.

Li Jingheng cheerfully called upon his bomb shooters to aim at the defenders on the city wall.

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Bombs were fired at the city wall.

As the first bomb fell on the city wall, a loud roar was heard, like the first domino falling, causing a strong chain reaction.

Boom boom boom!
The roar continued on the city wall and dust rose.

Some of the defenders on the city wall managed to escape the explosion of the bomb, but were killed by stones splashed from other places. Some were killed on the spot in the explosion.

"fight back!"

Li Bingcheng roared loudly.

The archers around him were busy shooting crossbows at the Goryeo soldiers below.

Behind them were catapults that were constantly being loaded with stones and thrown outwards.

For an instant.

The Goryeo soldiers who rushed towards the city wall suffered more than a hundred casualties from crossbows and boulders.

but.

Crossbows have a certain degree of accuracy, but catapults do not.

As the distance between the two sides gets closer, the power of the catapult will reach its freezing point, and the effectiveness of the crossbow will be greatly reduced.

Ladders were set up on the city wall, and archers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the Goryeo soldiers below.

"kill!"

Thus, the war broke out.

The defenders on the city wall killed the traitors below without mercy, and the Korean soldiers below also showed no mercy.

Once the war begins, either you die or I die.

not to mention.

They were still a group of captives.

"Why did the bombing stop?"

Su Chen looked over and found that the bombing from Li Jingheng's side had stopped at some point.

Sun Qiang reported: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li said that the prisoners have already rushed to the city wall. Bombing at this time is likely to pose a threat to them."

"so what?"

Su Chen looked calm, "They are just a group of captives, not our soldiers."

"Since they are not our soldiers, why can't we blow them up?"

Sun Qiang nodded, "I'll notify Captain Li right away."

Li Jingheng, who received Su Chen's order, couldn't help but smack his lips. You are worthy of it.

ruthless.

How cruel!

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingheng looked at the bomb shooters beside him.

"Don't just stand there, keep blasting!"

"Yes!"

The bomb shooters who received the order began to bomb even more indiscriminately.

As for those surrendered Goryeo soldiers, whether they can survive this battle depends on their luck.

Boom boom boom!
"Crazy, crazy!"

"Didn't they surrender? Why is Su Chen still so crazy?"

Li Bingcheng was startled by the bomb that exploded.

Clearly, when those traitors were attacking the city, the enemy's bombing stopped, but within a cup of tea, the bombing started again.

Su Chen did not regard the traitors under the city as human beings at all.

Li Bingcheng's heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "You are too confused. Su Chen doesn't treat you as human beings at all. Do you still want to work for Su Chen now?"

"Now is a great time to turn from darkness to light. Come back, we won't kill you."

Some soldiers hesitated and were hacked to death, while some soldiers didn't care and were determined to kill the people on the opposite side.

At this time.

A shout rang out, "Brothers, if we turn against our allies now, the Tang army will only hate us. It would be better for us to take down Fu Rang and become true Tang soldiers!"

"Confused!"

"You are confused!"

Li Bingcheng turned around angrily, only to see the other party rushing towards them aggressively.

"As long as I kill you, I will be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and I will definitely get a share of the rewards!"

"If I turn against my side in battle, I will surely die at the hands of the Tang army just like you did!"

"Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well try to get rich!"

"kill!"

Damn it!

Damn it!

Li Bingcheng's face flushed with anger. "You guys are stubborn and refuse to change. Then I'll kill them all!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill these traitors!"

Su Chen, who was watching the siege, put down the telescope with a smile.

interesting.

Among these more than a thousand Goryeo soldiers, some of them were able to climb the city wall.

Unfortunately.

There are still fewer people.

If there were more, there might really be a chance to take over the Axe Rang.

"Koizumi Juichiro!"

"The general is here!"

"Take your soldiers and attack the city!"

"Yes!"

Koizumi Juichiro responded loudly, then gathered his troops and rushed towards Furang City.

"Don't let those prisoners get the upper hand!"

"All the soldiers, follow me to take down the axe and soil, and reward them according to their merits!"

"kill!"

"kill!"
