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

Chapter 559: Advance and Retreat, Fuyu Zhang's Madness

Heading west from Jincheng, you first pass Yaduzhou and then enter Xiazhou before you reach the border between Silla and Baekje.

Daye was the first big city that Silla encountered when entering Baekje.

but.

Because the King of Baekje mobilized all the troops from all over the country to Fengshan City, this resulted in not having many troops available in some villages and towns near Daye, and even in Daye City.

After learning that an army of more than 20,000 people had entered Baekje from Silla, the officials in Daye City did not react at all.

I'm tired, really tired.

No matter whether these troops come from Silla or Tang Dynasty, let's end them quickly and destroy them.

"Your Majesty, our army has entered Daye territory, but we have not found any scouts arranged in Daye city."

"A few days ago, the King of Baekje issued an order to summon troops from all over the country to Fengshan City, intending to fight Kodo and others. Now there is no scout from Daye, so there must be no troops available."

Su Chen pondered and expressed his thoughts, "Come here, arrange a cavalry to go to Daye and persuade the officials of Daye to surrender."

"Yes."

Li Jingheng waved his hand and immediately arranged a cavalry team of 100 people to head towards Daye City. As for the main army, it was still marching towards Fengshan City.

"Your Majesty, if the officials of Daye really surrender, will the number of cavalry we arrange be too small?"

"will not."

Su Chen smiled calmly, "The real battlefield is not here, but in Fengshan City."

"If Kodo wins, even if we only send ten cavalrymen to Daye City, the officials in Daye City will not dare to disrespect them!"

"If Kodo loses, even if we send 1,000 or 5,000 soldiers, we will most likely be attacked by officials and civilians in Daye City."

Hear the words.

Li Jingheng and others nodded in understanding.

The real battlefield is in Fengshan City, and whether you win or lose, it will change the situation of the war.

Therefore, the number of people arranged to go to Daye City this time is not important. What is important is the outcome in Fengshan City.

"Speed ​​up."

Su Chen glanced at the map and said, "We are still four hundred miles away from Fengshan City. We hope to reach Fengshan City before their battle is over."

……

Under Fengshan City.

The trap trenches on the periphery have been filled in by Kodo.

Without these obstacles, the Tang army had successfully advanced to the city of Fengshan.

"Now that the army is approaching, why doesn't Fuyu Zhang surrender?"

"ridiculous."

Heichi Changyu said loudly: "Kodo, you are from the Baishan tribe of the Mohe, but you are willing to become a running dog of the Tang Dynasty and fight for the Tang Dynasty?"

"Have you ever thought that those who died on the battlefield were all your people, but the land you exchanged for with your blood and lives belongs to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Black Tooth Changyu?"

Kodo recognized Heichi Changyu who was standing on the city wall and talking to him at a glance.

Kodo laughed and said, "Heichi Changzhi has died in the Han River. Now Buyeo Zhang wants you to defend the city. Are you trying to repeat the same mistake?"

"What nonsense!"

"Fengshan City has high walls and deep moats, abundant supplies, and dedicated soldiers. How can you, Kodo, break through this strong city?"

Heichi Changzhi sneered repeatedly, "You might as well think about it carefully. Aiding the tyrant will only make the Tang Dynasty secretly wary of you and make it impossible for you to gain a firm foothold."

"When the Tang Dynasty truly unifies the three kingdoms of Silla, Baekje, and Goryeo, will there be any place for your Baishan tribe?"

Kodo shook his head and said, "Heichi Changzhi, you still don't see the current situation clearly."

"The Tang Dynasty's military might is unprecedented. How can a small country like Baekje resist the might of the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers?"

"Fuyu Zhang thinks he can stop us with just a small Fengshan City. That's wishful thinking."

"I am giving you a chance to surrender out of kindness. Since you don't want it, don't blame me."

"The army is ready."

With Kodo's order, thousands of infantrymen were ready to go.

These people were holding shields and ladders, or pushing siege vehicles and ramps, and as soon as Kodo gave the order, they all attacked Fengshan City!
dong dong dong.

Drums are beating.

A murderous atmosphere permeated the air.

No matter whether they were attacking or defending the city, both sides could feel the breath of death.

"Siege!"

At Kodo's command, the advance troops of the siege immediately carried ladders and headed towards Fengshan City.

While these people were heading straight for Fengshan City, there were also groups of soldiers pushing siege vehicles towards the city gate.

"Fire arrows!"

Compared with the attacking party, Heichi Chang and Tianran, who were responsible for the defense, occupied the height advantage and kept shooting at the Tang army below.

In the city behind him, a large number of catapults were constantly smashing towards the Tang army's formation.

But the good times didn't last long.

As the catapults and archers in the Tang army formation approached, a large number of stones and arrows fell from the sky, quickly suppressing the firepower on the city wall.

Even standing on the city wall, Wu Mingfeng felt unsafe.

because.

He watched helplessly as a huge rock fell from the sky and smashed the guards around him into pieces.

If the person standing there just now was him, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Suppress their firepower!"

"Suppress their firepower!"

Black Tooth often roars continuously.

The first was to remind the archers on the city wall to shoot as many Tang troops as possible and suppress their archers. The second was to remind the soldiers around the catapults in the city.

Before the Tang army successfully climbed the city wall, archers and catapults were undoubtedly the biggest threat to them!

Bang bang bang!
Huge rocks were thrown back and forth by both sides, one after another.

Seeing his own soldiers being smashed to pieces by huge rocks while attacking the city, Kodo couldn't help but frown.

If they had the Tang army's firearms in their hands, this battle could have avoided many innocent casualties.

Unfortunately.

they do not.

Now they can only use the most basic catapults to fight against the defenders in Fengshan City.

"faster!"

"Faster!"

Kodo shouted, "The first person to reach the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

dong dong dong.

Drums are beating.

The Tang army rushed towards Fengshan City one by one, and their speed increased slightly. Especially in the gaps between the catapults and arrows, these people ran to the foot of Fengshan City with all their strength, and leaned the ladders on their shoulders against the city wall.

One ladder, two ladders, three ladders...

There were more and more ladders leaning against the city wall, and the defenders on the wall couldn't help but become more fierce.

He picked up the push rod and tried to push down the ladders, but it was no use. He could only pick up the kerosene and pour it on the ladders.

dong dong.

at this time.

The Tang army pushing siege vehicles had arrived at the gate of Fengshan City.

Huge sharpened logs were fixed to the vehicle body, and with the push of many soldiers, they continued to crash into the heavy city gate.

Then came the well gates that were several feet high!
There are some archers and shieldmen on these ledges.

Not only can it greatly avoid the damage from the defenders' bows and arrows, but it can also ensure your own output.

"Fire oil!"

"Fire oil!"

Blackfang is often associated with roaring.

More and more ladders were leaning against the city wall, and even the enemy's siege vehicles and siege towers appeared in front of them. If these ladders and siege towers were not destroyed as soon as possible, a large number of Tang troops would continuously climb up the city wall using the ladders and siege towers!

Bang bang bang!
Pools of kerosene were thrown over by the defenders.

Some of them hit the ladders and flowed down quickly along the ladders and the bodies of the Tang soldiers climbing up them.

Some of the kerosene hit the opposite wellhead, and as the rocket was fired, it instantly ignited a raging fire.

In just a few breaths, the entire city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire!
Compared with the first two, the soldiers who hit the city gate were better off, but they were soon targeted.

A large number of stones were continuously thrown down from the city wall and hit their heads.

At this medium distance, the power of arrows and swords is obviously much weaker than that of stones. Every falling stone can easily destroy a combat force.

"Wu Qing, you take the lead and charge once!"

After thinking for a moment, Kodo turned his gaze to the general standing beside him.

He was a general of Sibi. After Sibi surrendered, he brought his soldiers to serve under Kodo.

Now, when Wu Qing heard Kodo asking him to take the lead, his face turned dark.

Looking ahead at Fengshan City, the entire city wall was almost turned into a sea of ​​fire. How could he rush through?

"General, this..."

"If you lead your troops to the top of the city wall, I will personally ask the prince for a reward for you!"

"..."

Whether or not to ask for a reward is not the point. The point is that it is not easy to rush in this situation.

Wu Qing had a bitter look on his face, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let the cavalry brought by Kodo charge first, right?
"Brothers, follow me!"

Wu Qing gritted his teeth and led his two thousand men to rush directly towards the city wall. "As long as you reach the city wall, I will reward you!"

"It's up to you whether you die standing or live in cowardice!"

"kill!"

The addition of two thousand elite soldiers increased the intensity of the siege.

Especially Wu Qing and others, relying on the siege towers and ladders that had not yet completely caught fire, they successfully climbed up the city wall.

However, before they could be happy, a group of defenders rushed over.

Compared with the defenders around them, this group of defenders who rushed over were obviously well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Because there is no blood on them!

……

royal palace.

All the civil and military officials were guarding in the palace.

Soldiers were constantly running back and forth, reporting the latest developments on the other side of the city wall to the King of Baekje and many ministers.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is coming with great force. They have sent two thousand elite soldiers to attack the city, and the top of the city has been captured!"

Hear the words.

The King of Baekje raised his eyebrows, and many ministers felt heavy in their hearts.

The Tang army climbed the city wall so quickly?
What does Black Tooth often do?
however.

The soldier who reported the incident had just walked out of the hall when another soldier rushed in in a hurry. "Your Majesty, General Black Tooth arranged for the second group of defenders to climb the city wall and successfully defeated the Tang army that climbed the city wall!"

call.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Black teeth are often done well.

The Tang army that climbed up the city wall was forced to retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, if these Tang troops really occupied the city wall, it would be difficult to fight next.

The King of Baekje remained calm and said, "I believe in General Black Tooth and Lord Wu. With them, we will be able to resist the attack of the Tang army."

Hear the words.

Many ministers secretly glanced at the King of Baekje.

If you really believed them, you wouldn't be paying so close attention to the battle outside the city.

However, many ministers did not understand why the King of Baekje called them here.

Was he planning to have himself and others buried with him after the Tang army conquered Fengshan City?
Or should they be recruited into the palace in advance to prevent them from escaping secretly and providing intelligence to the Tang army?
"The war is getting intense now, and the Tang army's offensives are getting more fierce each time. My dear ministers, please understand the hard work of the king and the soldiers."

Everyone frowned and looked at the King of Baekje. What kind of medicine was in his gourd?

The King of Baekje said slowly, "I know that the followers of all of you have more or less kept some retainers. Now that the country is in crisis, everyone should contribute money and deal with it effectively, so that we can overcome this crisis together."

After learning about the King of Baekje's intentions, many people couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Baekje belongs to your family, what does it have to do with us?
We are asked to contribute money and manpower to help your royal family overcome the difficulties, but what can we get in return?
Yes.

Faced with the proposal of the King of Baekje, many ministers just watched with their eyes and noses and their noses and hearts.

The King of Baekje could not help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes passing over the ministers one by one, "Lord Liu, as far as I know, you have three hundred retainers in your house, is that correct?"

Lord Liu, who was named, suddenly felt overwhelmed. "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. My salary is barely enough to support myself. Whose lies did you listen to that made you believe that my humble mansion could support three hundred guests?"

"Is it?"

The King of Baekje said coldly: "But I heard that your Lord Liu took a concubine a few days ago!"

Mr. Liu: “…”

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I did not want to take that woman into my room, but my old mother. Seeing her all alone, she felt really sorry for her, so she thought I was arranging a concubine for her and brought her into my house."

"Please understand, Your Majesty, I really don't have the spare money to support three hundred retainers."

The King of Baekje looked at Lord Liu coldly, then looked at the ministers who were watching the show, and said slowly: "So, the King believed the slander?"

"It must be so. Please judge for yourself, Your Majesty!"

"Good good."

The King of Baekje sneered, "You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"

"Come on! Get him!"
