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

Chapter 558: Leading the troops into Baekje, when did the soldiers of Baekje become so brave?

"good."

Facing Jin Zhende's questioning, Su Chen did not hide anything.

Jin Zhende hesitated for a moment and said, "The situation in Baekje is not ideal, so you need to arrange troops to go to Fengshan City to help Kodo?"

"Not entirely."

Su Chen smiled and said, "There is not much land left in Baekje now, and Fengshan City is the spiritual pillar in their hearts. Once Fengshan City is broken, the remaining cities will surrender."

"So in this battle, I hope Kodo can win, or at least there won't be any accidents."

Jin Zhende vaguely understood what Su Chen meant.

For Baekje, this battle was a war of annihilation. Once Kodo and others won and Fengshan City was broken, who in Baekje would continue to resist the Tang army?
No, they can’t be stopped. Even the King of Baekje lost. How can they still struggle?
But if the King of Baekje had resisted Kodo's army, the outcome would have been different.

The people in Baekje are very likely to unite with the King of Baekje, and it will not be easy to defeat Baekje again.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Su Chen needs to go to Fengshan City in person to ensure that Fengshan City is breached!
"You came to me today just to say goodbye to me?"

Su Chen smiled and pulled Jin Zhende into his arms, looking at him jokingly and said, "You are dressed like this, are you going to be affectionate with me?"

"It's okay to be gentle, but you have to agree to my conditions first."

Jin Zhende touched Su Chen's cheek with a charming smile, "As long as you agree, I can do whatever you want with me."

"Feel sorry."

Su Chen pushed Jin Zhende away and said expressionlessly: "The plan made before cannot be changed."

"Are you really so heartless?"

Seeing Su Chen's expression change instantly, Jin Zhende said in disbelief, "It's just that I want you to keep the title of our Silla king..."

"I told you before that when the Tang army appeared on Silla's territory, Silla had become a thing of the past."

Su Chen remained calm, "From now on, there will be no Silla, no Goryeo, and no Baekje, there will only be the Goryeo Protectorate!"

"If you want to use the honey trap against me, then you really underestimate me."

Faced with Su Chen's ruthless exposure, Jin Zhende couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

“If Silla is gone, where should I go?”

"Someone will arrange a place for you."

Su Chen said calmly: "Being an ordinary person is better than being involved in political turmoil again. It is a good thing for both you and your Silla Wang family."

"That's what you think, but they may not think it's a good thing!"

Jin Zhende's expression returned to normal. "I went from being a high-ranking royal descendant to being an ordinary mortal. It's hard for anyone to accept such a gap."

“They’ll accept it.”

Su Chen grinned, "Those who can't accept it will not have a good ending."

“People have to follow the pace of the times and try their best to catch up, rather than choose to resist, otherwise they are doomed to be wiped out.”

After a moment's silence, Jin Zhende turned and walked towards the door.

"Leaving now?"

Su Chen said with a smile, "No more tenderness?"

"Next time."

Jin Zhende opened the door and left without looking back.

Su Chen pursed his lips. Jin Zhende was a woman with a strong sense of purpose. In order to achieve her goal, Jin Zhende would sell herself out. However, when the goal could not be achieved, she would abandon him without looking back, just like she was doing now.

and so.

It would be better to take away all her rights.

Early the next morning.

Su Chen, surrounded by Li Jingheng and others, came to the outside of the military camp.

Under Hukov's arrangement, 20,000 troops were ready to go. With the arrival of Su Chen, Hukov was the first to step forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty!"

"Are you all ready?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. We can set off for Baekje at any time!"

"it is good!"

Su Chen nodded, "Then let's go, enter Baekje, and capture Fengshan City!"

"Yes!"

Hukov immediately called on his 20,000 troops to march in an orderly manner towards the official road.

Su Chen looked back and saw Liu Rengui standing on the city wall, then got on the carriage.

……

Under Fengshan City.

The battle became more and more intense. After three consecutive days of advancement by the Tang army, half of the traps and trenches outside the city had been cleared.

At this rate, we could reach the city wall in two days at most.

The reason why the speed of the Tang army's advance was suppressed by them was because wave after wave of defenders fearlessly rushed towards the Tang army and blocked their way.

If it weren't for these people's desperate obstruction, the Tang army might have advanced to three-quarters of the progress yesterday.

"Catapult!"

"Fire oil!"

"Fire arrows!"

Roars continued to sound.

Every time a roar sounded, it was accompanied by the fall of countless weapons.

Rain of arrows, stones, kerosene, etc.

As the Tang army advanced three-quarters of the way, it was already very close to Fengshan City. It was precisely because of this that large weapons such as catapults in Fengshan City could be put to use.

Compared with the advancement from the periphery, the closer we get to Fengshan City, the more difficult it becomes.

What they had to face were no longer just the defenders rushing out of the trenches, but also the arrows shot from the city and the huge rocks falling from the sky.

If you are not careful, you will die on the spot.

The entire area outside the north gate of Fengshan City has completely turned into a large meat-grinding airport.

"Domur, send more people, charge forward!"

"General, the enemy's firepower is too strong."

"Rush forward even if you are brave enough!"

Kodo said angrily, "As long as we flatten these things in front of us, we can launch an attack on the defenders in Fengshan City!"

"If we don't work harder now, won't their deaths be in vain?"

Duomur gritted his teeth and immediately arranged for troops to rush to the rescue. At the same time, he kept issuing orders to the catapults in the rear, hoping that they could shoot as much as possible in the direction of Fengshan City.

It is not necessary to successfully throw the huge stones on the catapult into Fengshan City and destroy the catapults and other things in Fengshan City, but at least it can hit the city wall of Fengshan City, or at the foot of Fengshan City.

This can at least slow down the firepower of the defenders. Otherwise, under the enemy's firepower coverage, their people will not be able to rush forward.

"Lan Duolin, arrange for someone to protect my people!"

"understood."

Lan Duolin replied casually that the situation of his soldiers was not optimistic.

In order to cooperate with Domur's men to fill the traps outside the city, his soldiers must be the first to come out and stop the defenders!
But the number of people under his command had been reduced by half. Even though these people were drawn from various cities and were not from the Baishan tribe, Lan Duolin still felt uncomfortable watching so many of his men fall in front of him one by one.

"Everyone, work harder. As long as we get the sacks to 300 steps outside the city, our catapults will be able to stop the enemy. Work harder!"

Domur shouted, urged the soldiers, pushed the armored vehicles forward, and threw down sacks full of soil one after another.

On the city wall.

Black teeth are often associated with a blank expression.

Wu Mingfeng, who was standing next to him, frowned, because the battlefield outside the city had turned into a meat grinder.

Whether it is for the Tang army or for Baekje, it is difficult for every soldier who enters it to escape unscathed.

The most deadly thing was that the power unleashed by these guys who surrendered to the Tang army was much more terrifying than when they served under them.

This is puzzling.

"Pass the order."

"The vanguard troops are ready!"

Heichi often opens his mouth suddenly and gives orders.

Wu Mingfeng frowned and asked, "Are we going to mobilize the vanguard army at this time?"

"if not?"

Heichi Changyu's expression remained unchanged. "The ferocity of the Tang army is far beyond our imagination. At this rate, they will soon advance to the city."

"Once they fill all the traps outside the city, their catapults and other large engineering equipment will be able to advance towards the city gate. By then, we will no longer have such a favorable shooting advantage."

Wu Mingfeng looked silently at the catapult moving slowly forward in the distance.

The speed of these catapults was not very fast, and it could even be said to be very slow, but because there were soldiers in front who were constantly clearing the way, they were able to move forward so steadily and slowly.

Now, the catapults are far away from them and do not pose much threat, but as the Tang army continues to advance, the catapults will eventually pose a threat to them.

If they were not contained quickly, once the Tang army advanced to within 300 steps of the city and within the attack range of the catapults, their fortifications would seem ridiculous.

The side gate at the foot of the city slowly opened, and soldiers in armor walked out of the side gate in an orderly manner and gathered at the foot of the city.

at the same time.

Kodo discovered these people.

"coming."

Kodo seemed to have anticipated this and said, "They are about to take action."

"Send the order!"

"Catapults, all move forward and fire towards the north gate!"

Kodo shouted.

The order was quickly conveyed to the catapults in the rear, and one catapult after another, pushed by many soldiers, quickly moved forward.

At the same time, a large number of stones and oil drums prepared by the soldiers have been placed.

With an order.

Catapults carrying full barrels of kerosene or large rocks weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds smashed towards the north gate of Fengshan City.

Bang bang bang.

Boom boom boom.

This was in contrast to the huge rocks' simple but powerful attack, which caused the defenders to die on the spot.

The power of an oil barrel exploding in the air is even more terrifying.

A large amount of burning kerosene spilled under Fengshan City as the wooden barrel shattered.

Some of the defenders in the trenches were immediately covered in the boiling kerosene and turned into fire warriors.

Even the vanguard troops that had just assembled were affected to a certain extent by the attack of these stones and kerosene.

however.

After just a short while, the three thousand vanguard troops rushed like a sharp knife in the area full of traps and trenches.

It seemed that they all knew clearly which area had no traps and which area had traps.

These people ran much faster than the defenders in the trenches, and even faster than the Tang army!
In just a quarter of an hour, the three thousand vanguard troops were fighting with the Tang army.

The enemy's fighting power that burst out in an instant directly stopped the Tang army's forward momentum. Moreover, a large number of people among these vanguard troops were sent to destroy the armored vehicles.

As long as they destroyed the armored vehicles and wanted to fill the trench traps, the Tang army would face countless attacks.

"All soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Lan Duolin shouted loudly and rushed directly into the battlefield with a dozen members of the Baishan tribe and five thousand elite soldiers.

If these people destroy the armored vehicles, how can they break through the traps in front of them?
Lan Duolin took the lead, waving the scimitar in his hand towards the vanguard army again and again. The 5,000 elite soldiers behind him also showed no fear.

Just do it and that's it.

The 5,000 elite soldiers led by Lan Duolin were not able to defeat the vanguard army in the first place, but were instead stopped by the vanguard army. In addition, a number of surviving defenders also emerged from the surrounding trenches.

For a moment, nearly 10,000 people from both sides started fighting near the trap.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether there is a trap or not. What matters is to kill the enemy in front of you first.

Otherwise, even if there was no trap, they would have died here. Therefore, both sides soon became bloodthirsty.

Some people even accidentally fell into the trap and survived by chance. Before they had time to be happy, they saw the enemy jumping down from above and stabbed them in the face...

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and almost all the 10,000 troops deployed by both sides were killed. Only then did both sides tacitly choose to stop the fight.

After counting, Heichi Changyu's face turned black.

Of the 3,000 vanguard troops he had arranged, there were now less than 200 left, and all of them were injured.

The soldiers hiding in the trenches outside the city were all killed after today's battle, rendering these trenches useless.

On the contrary, the Tang army successfully advanced 200 steps forward in today's battle!

"General Blackfang."

"Master Wu."

Heichi Changyu glanced at Wu Mingfeng who was walking over, nodded, and waved his hand to let his soldiers retreat.

"How many casualties did we have?"

"We have suffered at least 5,000 casualties, and the situation on the Tang side is not good either, probably twice as many as us."

Wu Mingfeng raised his eyebrows, "Only twice?"

Heichi Changyu sighed, "This is also the most incredible thing for me."

With their current preparations, they should be able to exchange one soldier for five, six, or even a dozen of the other side.

But now, the casualty ratio of one to two was really hard for him to believe.

It was obvious that the soldiers responsible for the main attack on the opposite side were from Baekje!
It's just fucking, balls!
When did the soldiers of Baekje become so brave and good at fighting?

How come he doesn’t know about Heichichang?
"Many of the traps outside the city were destroyed today. I'm afraid the Tang army will attack the city tomorrow."

"Ah."

Heichi Changyu nodded silently.

The trap was destroyed, and the Tang army was free of obstacles and would naturally attack Fengshan City directly.

Judging from the ferocity of the Tang army today, can the 80,000 soldiers in their city really resist?
