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

Chapter 557 I'm wondering if you're here to send me off
Under Fengshan City.

The Tang army once again attacked the traps outside the city.

Unlike yesterday when shieldmen led the way, today when the Tang army was advancing, there were several more large armored vehicles in their formation.

Each armored vehicle is ten feet high and two feet wide. Most importantly, these armored vehicles are covered with a thick layer of buffalo hide.

Pushed by a group of people, the armored vehicle slowly approached Fengshan City.

"Kodo is very well prepared."

Heichi Changyu sneered, "Does he think that these vehicles can block our arrows?"

Wu Mingfeng: "Be careful."

"They advanced 800 steps yesterday. We must find a way to pin them all down here."

Heichi Chang nodded.

The Tang army is advancing very quickly. If they are allowed to advance so recklessly, they will arrive at Fengshan City in a few days. By then, the outcome of the hand-to-hand combat will be hard to predict.

now.

They can still rely on the traps they had dug before to gradually wear down the morale of the Tang army and kill the Tang soldiers!

"Someone, attack with rockets!"

Whether it is a siege vehicle or a ladder, what they fear most is naturally fire.

Therefore, after seeing the armored chariots pushed out by the Tang army, Heichi Changyu immediately thought of using fire attack to break the armored chariots of the Tang army.

Once the rockets land on the armored vehicles, they will inevitably set them on fire, and the Tang army hiding behind the vehicles will naturally become sitting ducks.

Whoosh whoosh.

As Hei Chi Changyu's orders were given, archers holding strong bows appeared in the trenches at the rear, and lit arrows were continuously shot at the armored vehicles.

At the same time, Lan Duolin gave orders, ordering the archers to suppress the enemy and create opportunities for his companions.

Arrows were fired back and forth between the two sides.

However, compared with the Tang army that was blocked by armored vehicles, the archers hiding in the trenches were obviously unlucky.

Not only did they have no shieldmen in front of them to help them block the falling arrows, but the archers in the Tang army all aimed at them, and even the large catapults in the rear smashed towards their position.

In just a stick of incense's time, those archers who relied on the trenches were completely defeated.

Those who were lucky were not hit by the rocks falling from the sky, but it was still difficult to avoid the falling arrows. Those who were unlucky were crushed into minced meat by the falling rocks on the spot.

Even when these big rocks kept falling, they posed a threat to the traps dug by Heichi Chang and others.

Heichi Changyu's face suddenly turned dark.

Seeing thousands of our own soldiers die tragically on the battlefield without being able to stop the enemy, how could we not feel sad about such a loss?

However, while he felt distressed, he also became confused about those armored vehicles.

Why did so many rockets fall on the armored vehicle but fail to ignite it? What was going on?

"If I'm not mistaken, they used buffalo leather."

Wu Mingfeng looked at the armored chariot that was still moving slowly forward with a serious expression, "They embedded buffalo hides on the armored chariot. Buffalo hides are extremely smooth and fireproof. That's why the arrows shot at them didn't ignite the chariot."

Heichi Chang frowned, "If that's the case, then we can only arrange troops and fight them head-on."

Wu Mingfeng nodded, "That's the only way."

"Otherwise, if they continue to advance at this speed, our arrangements outside the city will soon be cleared out by them."

Wu Mingfeng's face was stern, and his eyes kept looking at the catapults behind the Tang army.

He even suspected that if the accuracy of these catapults was higher, Kodo would most likely deploy a large number of them to bombard the periphery directly.

No matter what traps or trenches there are, big rocks keep falling down, and even if there are traps or something, they will be filled up by these big rocks.

As for their soldiers hiding in the trenches, the falling large rocks will fill up the entire trench.

"Order Quan Zhi to lead 2,000 soldiers to stop the enemy."

"Yes!"

……

"Great."

"The general is indeed resourceful."

"It seems that the trench traps dug by the defenders in Fengshan City no longer pose any threat to us."

Facing everyone's praise, Kodo slowly shook his head.

They have a way to break it, so how could the defenders just watch their preparations being broken?

"We are gradually breaking down their outer defenses, but they will definitely not watch us act. Someone will definitely come to stop us."

"Pass the order, have the brothers at the back throw the big rocks farther towards Fengshan City."

"General, are you worried that they have already arranged people to stop the team ahead of us?"

"This is for sure."

Kodo said calmly.

Such a smooth progress was undoubtedly bad news for the defenders in Fengshan City.

They have 80,000 defenders gathered in Fengshan City. How could they just watch them advance to the outskirts of Fengshan City little by little?
as predicted.

The armored vehicle advancing forward encountered an obstacle.

Quan Zhi led two thousand elite soldiers and rushed out to block the armored vehicle.

"Report!"

"As the general expected, Fengshan City has arranged two thousand elite soldiers to stop us."

"Keep pushing."

Kodo's face was calm. "No matter how much it costs, we must push the battlefield to three hundred steps outside Fengshan City before dusk today!"

"Yes!"

……

golden city.

Su Chen held the letter sent by Kodo and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

Fengshan City is surrounded by traps and trenches?
If you want to take down Fengshan City, you must get rid of these trap trenches, otherwise you will not be able to get close to Fengshan City at all.

The King of Baekje did have some ideas.

Su Chen smiled. Under normal circumstances, Kodo and others would not need to attack the city by force. They only needed to trap Fengshan City. When the food and supplies in Fengshan City were scarce, they would naturally open the gates and surrender.

But it's different now.

Fengshan City is rich in supplies and has a large number of defenders. On the other hand, Kodo and his men came from far away, and their supply lines are very long, which may lead to accidents.

If we use the Kodo method of covering the ground, it will take at least three to five days to fill up all the trap trenches outside the city.

Three to five days later, the real blood will be seen.

Su Chen smiled and put down the letter in his hand. If it were them, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Just cover them with rounds of firepower.

Whether they hid in trenches or traps, or the trenches and traps simply blocked their progress, it was all in vain in the face of the bombs.

"Your Majesty, Silla's compensation has been handed over."

"You move pretty fast."

Su Chen looked at Li Jingheng, "Have you arranged all the gold, silver, jewelry, etc."

Li Jingheng nodded, "Everything has been loaded into the car and will be sent to Chang'an in an incense stick of time."

"As for the gold and silver mines we have taken over, we have already arranged personnel to supervise them, and more personnel will be arranged to take over the transportation later."

"it is good."

Su Chen clapped his hands, "Send the things back first, and send someone to deliver the letter."

"It's been so long since we've heard from you. I guess Chang'an is getting restless, right?"

Li Jingheng smiled and nodded, "I understand."

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Sun Qiang walked in from outside and whispered, "The King of Silla invites you to the palace to see him."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement on his face. This girl still won't give up. "No need."

"Order Liu Rengui to enter Jincheng and garrison there. If anyone resists, he will be killed without mercy."

"Yes."

"Let's go and see what kind of elite troops the King of Silla has prepared for us."

Silla chose to surrender, naturally to show their sincerity.

Handing over their 20,000 elite soldiers to Su Chen and his men was part of their sincerity.

Su Chen rode in a carriage and arrived outside the military camp.

The soldiers on duty saluted immediately after seeing their king's carriage.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"I am not your king."

Su Chen smiled and got out of the carriage. He looked at the two confused soldiers and said, "Is Hu Kefu in the barracks?"

"Your Majesty, General Hu is in the barracks."

"Lead the way."

"Your Majesty, please."

The soldier on duty tactfully took Su Chen and others into the barracks and headed towards Hu Kefu's residence.

"Practice, fuck!"

"How can a bunch of weaklings defeat the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"

Suddenly, there were bursts of angry shouts coming from the front.

"But General, we have already surrendered..."

"If we surrender, can't we treat the Tang army as an imaginary enemy?"

Hu Kefu angrily kicked the soldier who had just spoken to the ground and said, "Let me tell you, the Tang army has the strongest force right now. It is precisely because they have the strongest force that we should treat them as our imaginary enemy. Only in this way can we become the strongest force!"

"Could it be that you want to treat those rubbish from Korea and Japan as imaginary enemies?"

"Are they worthy of our action?"

"..."

Faced with Hukov's rebuke, everyone remained silent.

Su Chen and his men came over with a smile, "What if we regard the Baekje troops as imaginary enemies?"

"Who is special..."

"Your Majesty?"

Hu Kefu turned around and when he saw Su Chen, he immediately stopped talking and saluted.

Su Chen waved his hand. "Your idea of ​​treating the Tang army as an imaginary enemy is very good, but have you ever thought about treating the Baekje army as an imaginary enemy?"

"Baekje's troops?"

Hu Kefu smiled and said, "Baekje's troops and horses are even weaker than our Silla's. How can they accompany us?"

"So confident?"

Su Chen said with a smile, "If you lead your 20,000 troops and encounter Baekje's 50,000 elite soldiers, do you have a chance of winning?"

"Of course!"

Hukov is full of confidence.

Regardless of the result, now that Su Chen has asked the question, you still have to blow it.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Tang army underestimate them?

"Okay, then you get ready and follow me west to Baekje tomorrow morning."

"what?"

Hukov was stunned.

He didn't expect that he was just bragging to Su Chen, so why would he lead troops to Baekje?
Is it because the cavalry of the Baishan tribe encountered trouble in Baekje, so they needed this army to go to Baekje to rescue them?

Thinking of this, Hukov felt a little excited.

If this is true, then it would be a great opportunity for them to express themselves.

"Didn't you say that you don't take the fighting power of Baekje's troops seriously? Then I will give you a chance to fight against Baekje's troops."

Su Chen said with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, you will follow me into Baekje and take over Fengshan City!"

"Yes!"

Hukov responded loudly.

……

Royal palace, bedroom.

A palace maid hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, King Bingjian is busy with trivial matters and cannot come."

"Bored by trivial matters?"

Jin Zhende snorted coldly. What could Su Chen do to stop him?
Li Jingheng and his colleagues took over all matters, and he never left the palace.

What you said is that you are bogged down in trivial matters. It's completely like you have no idea who you are.

"Yes, I heard that the prince went to the military camp."

"Ok?"

Jin Zhende raised his eyebrows. What was Su Chen doing at the military camp?
Although all their military power was transferred to Su Chen, why did Su Chen rush to the military camp in such a hurry? Was it because he wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, or something else?
At this time.

A eunuch ran in hurriedly, Jin Zhende raised his hand, and the palace maid left tactfully.

"explain."

"Your Majesty, King Bingjian has requested General Hukov to prepare his troops today and follow him to Baekje tomorrow morning to capture Pungsan Castle."

"Fengshan City?"

Jin Zhende was thoughtful.

No wonder Su Chen was busy going to the military camp to check, it turned out that the situation in Baekje was not good.

Therefore, Su Chen needed his 20,000 soldiers to follow Su Chen to Baekje and pacify the Baekje King's Fengshan City.

"The king knows."

Jin Zhende waved his hand, and the eunuch tactfully withdrew.

After hesitating for a while, Jin Zhende called the palace maid, changed his clothes with the help of the palace maid, and quietly left the palace.

After simply finalizing the trip to Baekje tomorrow, Su Chen separated from Li Jingheng and others and turned back to his own yard.

but.

What Su Chen didn't expect was that after he opened the door, a beautiful woman with her back to him was standing quietly in the room waiting for him.

Hey?

Su Chen looked suspiciously at the yard outside, then looked at the girl in the room, "Did I go to the wrong place, or did you go to the wrong room?"

"I didn't go wrong."

Jin Zhende turned around and looked at Su Chen with a smile on his face, "If you don't come into the palace when I summon you, then I will have to come here to find you in person!"

Su Chen: "..."

did not expect.

I really didn't expect that she would come here.

Su Chen smiled and walked in after closing the door. "Your Majesty, you came to me at this time dressed like this..."

"What are you thinking?"

"I was wondering if you were offering to deliver it."

"..."

Jin Zhende looked at Su Chen suspiciously. Although he didn't quite understand what Su Chen meant by taking the initiative to see him off, this did not hinder their communication.

"You're leaving tomorrow?"
