Capital Datang

"Prince beware!"

Yici never expected that someone in the Tang army could shoot an arrow 180 steps away, so he had no defense against Xue Rengui's arrow. Fortunately, the guards around him reacted very quickly, and they saw a cold light from the corner of their eyes towards the prince. When rushing from here, he immediately stood up and blocked Yici.

With a soft "嗤~", this special armor-piercing heavy arrow pierced through the armor of the loyal guard, and even came out through the back.This startled Yici and the other guards around him. At the same time, all the guards roared angrily, preparing to surround Yici to guard against the opponent's sharp archer.

It's a pity that they didn't know that the one who shot the arrow was Xue Rengui, a well-known sharpshooter of the Tang Dynasty. Since he saw that Yici was an important object, he naturally didn't only have this little preparation. As soon as the arrow was shot, the second arrow and the third arrow shot right in front of Yici like lightning.

Facing the two lightning-fast arrows behind, neither Yici nor the guards around him had time to react, and in the end it was the guard who had been shot through by one arrow and was seriously injured and jumped up again with a roar, desperately He blocked the second arrow with his shoulder, but at this moment his body was also tilted to one side by the arrow, but the third arrow flew past his armor, and under Yici's horrified eyes, was caught by the arrow. The third arrow pierced through the throat, bringing up a cloud of blood behind him.Capital Datang 327

The three arrows are slow to say, but in fact it takes only a second or two at most, which can be described as lightning and flint. When the Baekje people who reacted looked at their white spoon Yici, they saw a figure jumping from the horseback. It fell down slowly, and then hit the ground fiercely, stirring up a burst of gray dust.

"The prince... the prince was shot to death by the Tang army!" Seeing this scene, all Baekje soldiers had this thought in their hearts. Yici is not only the prince of Baekje, but also a very prestigious general in the army. Now However, he was shot to death by Xue Rengui with an arrow. The blow to Baekje's morale was immeasurable. Even most of the Baekje soldiers were stunned, and there was a strange silence in the scene.

But here is a battlefield, Xue Rengui obviously won't give the enemy any time to enter, after he shot Yici to death with three arrows, he charged up again brandishing Fang Yao's painted halberd, just as he came into contact with Baekje's former army, Immediately tore a hole in the opponent's team, and then Tang Jun immediately used Xue Rengui as an arrow to quickly expand the hole, and soon cut the nearly [-] Baekje troops outside the city into two sections.

Seeing Prince Yici die in front of him, the morale of the Baekje army immediately fell to the bottom, and the encounter with the tiger-like Tang army made the Baekje soldiers even more hopeless, so Xue Rengui divided the army into Two paragraphs later, the entire army was in a state of collapse. Although some Baekje generals wanted to regroup, but their positions and prestige were too low, no one was willing to listen to them.

And Xue Rengui also saw the state of the Baekje Army, and immediately ordered the guards to be by his side, and then once again shot and killed several Baekje generals, which made the Baekje Army even more chaotic. , No one could organize an effective resistance, and a large number of Baekje soldiers began to disperse and flee.

Xue Rengui saw that the Baekje army outside was no longer a threat, and the city gate guards were desperately closing the city gate. Unfortunately, the retreating Baekje army was desperately squeezing into the city gate, resulting in the city gate being stuck , it couldn't be closed for a while.As a result, Xue Rengui yelled immediately: "My sons, follow me into the city!"

Following Xue Rengui's roar, the [-] soldiers under him also roared, rushing towards the gate of Sibi City like a torrent of steel. As a result, the guards at the gate were frightened by the ferocious Tang army. The city gate couldn't be closed for a while, so everyone yelled in horror, and then dispersed.

Xue Rengui would not be merciful to the Baekje Army men blocking the gate of the city. There was a bloody fight when he went up, and then rushed into Sibi City stepping on a mountain of corpses.However, after entering the city, Xue Rengui did not lead the people to rush around, but first seized the city gate, and then wiped out the Baekje army near the city gate, but did not go deep into the city.

The reason for doing this is that Xue Rengui knew that Bijing, the city of Sibi, is the capital of Baekje. Even if there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, it must be much more than their three thousand soldiers. Encountering extremely fierce resistance, coupled with the narrowness of the city, the overall combat effectiveness of the Tang army was greatly affected, so even if he could take down the entire city, he would have to pay a lot of casualties in the end, and this is exactly what His Royal Highness King Qi wanted the most. The situation you don't want to see.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Xue Rengui did not further expand the results of the battle after he took down the city gate. Instead, he held on and sent a message to Su Dingfang to let their army rush over as soon as possible. Several roads go hand in hand, and it is absolutely possible to conquer Sibi City in a short period of time, and there is no need to pay too much.

Xue Rengui easily occupied a gate of Sibi City, and Lu Qing's navy also squeezed the Sibi Shui army into the water village, barely contending with the Tang army by virtue of the various fortifications of the water village.However, Su Dingfang's [-] infantry had landed on another beach. When he received the news from Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang was both surprised and delighted. What surprised him was that Xue Rengui was so lucky that he happened to meet him. He went to the city to send reinforcements out of the city, but he was caught off guard. He was happy to knock down a city gate, which almost meant that the whole city was already in their hands.

The military situation was tense, and Su Dingfang didn't delay any time after receiving the news. He immediately rushed to Sibi City with [-] Tang troops. Along the way, he encountered some defeated troops who were disrupted by Xue Rengui.

When Su Dingfang's [-] troops rushed to the outside of Sibi City, Xue Rengui in the city was leading [-] Tang troops in a tragic battle with the counterattacking Baekje army. Although Yici was killed, King Wu was very sad, but he I also know that if there is no way to get back the lost city gate, then for them Baekje, today is the day of the country's destruction.

Because of this, King Wu once again summoned more than [-] people to supervise the battle in the rear, hoping to take back the city gate before the main force of the Tang army arrived.However, Xue Rengui is not a vegetarian. Although the army in his hand is half smaller than that of the opponent, he fights the opponent very well, and even has a slight upper hand.

And when Su Dingfang's [-] troops rushed into the city, they immediately scattered the [-] Baekje troops and fled in all directions. With this vigor, Su Dingfang also knocked down the royal palace in Sibi City, and at the same time King Wu was born to help Yuzhang, and there were also many princes and grandchildren. Except for a few who escaped from the city, most of the royal family were captured. This battle can be described as a complete victory.

After taking down Sibi City, Su Dingfang immediately "forced" King Wu to write a letter of surrender, and asked him to order all the Baekje troops to surrender on the spot. Although King Wu was a young man, he is now an old man. , and the older you are, the more afraid you are of death. The vigor of your youth has long been worn out in the luxurious life, so no matter how unwilling Fu Yuzhang is, he finally followed Su Dingfang's orders.

With King Wu's edict of surrender, coupled with the strong deterrence of the Tang army, all the Baekje remnants inside and outside Sibi City quickly put down their weapons, even the navy outside the city was no exception.

The plan to attack Sibi City this time can be said to be going very smoothly, and it has also achieved the pre-war results. As this incident spread, and King Wu's letter of surrender was sent to all parts of Baekje, most of the Baekje troops put down their weapons one after another. , surrendered to the nearest Tang army, and there were also a small number of diehards who refused to surrender. As a result, they were all given a thunderous blow by the army led by Huli. It was suppressed.

However, although Baekje was beaten down, it does not mean that it is completely controlled by Li Yin. Leaving aside other things for the time being, just a problem of eating is enough to make people feel headache. After all, Baekje is even worse than Silla. In a poor country, after a year of war, the life of the people in Baekje is worse than that of Silla, and it is very common to starve to death. It is also in this situation that various uprisings in Baekje It was one after another, and it didn't decrease slightly with Li Yin's arrival.Capital Datang 327

For this bad situation, if it were another person, I am afraid that the simplest and most direct solution would be to transport a large amount of grain from Datang to ease the tension in Baekje.It's a pity that it is Li Yin who controls Baekje now, and he will not show any kindness to this small country.

After learning about the domestic situation in Baekje, Li Yin had no plans to transport grain at all. Instead, like Silla, he recruited workers in Baekje. As for those areas unwilling to obey Li Yin's orders, not only would they not have any opportunities to recruit workers, but they would also face the encirclement and suppression by the Tang army. in the plantation.

In fact, Li Yin treated Silla and Baekje equally, but unfortunately, Baekje was unlucky. Because of the national power, there were constant turmoil in Baekje, so he had to implement this kind of strategy. According to the policy of exile, the places where workers can be recruited will continue to be safe, while the turbulent places will be surrounded by the Tang army, and a large number of local people will be enslaved to eliminate domestic conflicts in Baekje.

It was also with this method that Li Yin quickly quelled the turmoil in Baekje. During this period, there were also several noble rebellions in Silla, and he was asked to deal with it in the same way. Yes, and with the strengthening of Li Yin's control over Silla and Baekje, many Tang merchants began to flood into the two countries, wanting to take this opportunity to find business opportunities, and the increase in the number of Han immigrants further strengthened Li Yin's influence. The control of these two places forms a virtuous circle.

It is also worth mentioning that after Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui captured Sibi City, the navy led by Lu Qing often repaired and set sail again to enter the sea, and all the way east, entering the Tsushima Strait again, where there is a former Smaller opponents clamoring to fight them are waiting for them!
