Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 587 Silla Royal City
The Tang army used a horse-chopping knife that was more than three feet long. This knife was slender and extremely sharp. It was the most important weapon of the Tang army's infantry.

In addition, the Japanese pirates panicked and were immediately caught off guard by Tang Jun.

This battle lasted from late night until dawn.

Under the siege of the Tang army and the Xinluo army, the Dongying right army was completely defeated.

The [-]-strong army killed and injured more than [-] people, and the remaining more than [-] people fled to the middle road in a hurry.

Gao Xianzhi ordered Su Hai to reply to Li Canghai, and then chased after him with the army.

After chasing to Mingliang Mountain, Gao Xianzhi was extremely shocked when he saw corpses everywhere.

More than [-] Silla soldiers fought desperately to block the reinforcements from Japan.

Some soldiers had four or five weapons stuck in their bodies, but the weapons they held in their hands slashed fiercely on the Japanese pirates' heads.

Unlike the Japanese pirates in Japan, they have been keeping a low profile, while the Silla soldiers have been fighting Baekje repeatedly. They are already exhausted, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Japanese pirates at all.

However, they did not back down.

They used their own flesh and blood to forge a solid line of defense and successfully stopped the Japanese pirates' reinforcements.

It's a pity that they were flanked by Japanese pirates and reinforcements who had escaped. The [-] Silla soldiers died and injured more than [-], and only more than [-] survived.

Gao Xianzhi and the others looked dignified, and bowed deeply to the eight thousand Silla soldiers who died in battle.

Li Canghai, who arrived afterward, also looked respectful. If it weren't for the [-] Silla soldiers desperately blocking it, it would be impossible for the Tang army to easily wipe out the main force of Dongying's right army.

Leaving some people to pack up the bodies of the fallen soldiers, Li Canghai led the army to Jincheng to join the King of Silla.

The royal capital of Silla, Jincheng.

When the soldiers and civilians in Jincheng heard that the Tang army had defeated the Dongying right army, the whole city fell into cheers.

The king of Silla led the disgraced officials out of the city to meet the Tang army in person.

The west gate of Jincheng, five miles outside the city.

The King of Silla looked at Tang Jun, who lined up neatly and had strict military discipline, and couldn't help but praise him.

"The King of Silla led the people of Jincheng to welcome the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition five miles ahead!" Tang Jun was on the way, and a scout quickly reported back.

Gao Xianzhi rode on the horse, nodded, and immediately ordered to speed up.

Soon, Tang Jun came to King Silla.

The King of Silla looked at Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others who were riding on horseback, thinking that they were the leaders of the Tang army, he quickly bowed to them and said, "Xiao Wang welcomes the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition!"

Gao Xianzhi and others hurriedly jumped off their horses, cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, we are not Generalissimo Dongzheng, Generalissimo Dongzheng is now in the carriage."

King Silla looked at the carriage in surprise, and then walked towards the carriage.

"Little Wang welcomes the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition!" King Silla led the officials and bowed again.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and suddenly a girl as beautiful as a fairy came out from the car.

King Silla and the others were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

This girl is none other than Di Qing.

Seeing the astonished faces of King Xinluo and the others, Di Qing giggled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Generalissimo, the Generalissimo is inside!"

With that said, Di Qing raised the curtain of the car and helped Li Canghai out.

Seeing this, Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Er Ben immediately took the wooden wheel chair from the back of the carriage, and then supported Li Canghai to sit down.

"Could he be the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition?" Everyone, including the King of Silla, looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, their eyes full of suspicion.

In any case, they couldn't believe that the general who commanded the Tang army to defeat the main force of Dongying's right army would be a young Confucian scholar with a lame leg.

Seeing the puzzled faces of King Silla and the others, Gao Xianzhi walked over and said, "Your Majesty, this is my Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Silla was greatly surprised.

"So this is the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition? The Generalissimo came in time. He is really the savior of Silla. Please accept my respect from Xiao Wang!" Salute.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be too polite." Li Canghai said calmly, shaking his feather fan.

"I don't know Marshal Gao's surname? Xiao Wang wants to erect a monument for the marshal, so that the name of the marshal will be passed down in our Silla for generations." Said the king of Silla.

"Your Majesty, I am your commander, Li Canghai." Li Canghai was not interested in erecting a monument, and after a pause, he said, "My lord, the battle is urgent now, and this is not a time for gossiping, let's discuss how to deal with the Japanese army in the advanced city! "

Speaking of this, Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and said deeply: "The army on the right side of Dongying has suffered heavy casualties, and it will definitely arouse Dongying's anger. Next, Dongying will definitely attack Jincheng with all its strength to avenge the defeat of the army on the right side. .”

The joyful expressions of the King of Silla and the others froze in an instant. Li Canghai was right. Dongying would surely fall into madness after suffering such a huge loss. We must prepare a countermeasure, otherwise the city of Jincheng would be ruined. Death.

"Marshal, please!" The King of Silla looked serious, stretched out his right hand and led Li Canghai into Jincheng.

In the main hall of Jincheng Royal Palace, Li Canghai, Gao Xianzhi and other generals of the Tang army sit on the left side, the officials of Silla sit on the right side, and the king of Silla sits on the throne.

"Marshal, may I ask how many soldiers and horses you brought here this time?" King Silla asked.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "Forty thousand."

"Forty thousand?" The king of Silla was stunned, and the officials were also stunned.

"Forty thousand? Why are there only forty thousand soldiers and horses?"

"Forty thousand soldiers, even if we add our troops, it is only [-]. This number is still [-] short of the Japanese soldiers and horses!"

"Yes! Although the Baekje army returned to the country to support and temporarily evacuated our land, there is no guarantee that they will not come again to join forces with Dongpu. This time, Silla is in danger!"

……

The ministers discussed it one after another.

The King of Silla's face was extremely ugly. He sighed, and muttered to himself as if accepting his fate: "Could it be that the sky is going to destroy Silla? [-] soldiers and horses are not enough for the Japanese army to squeeze between their teeth... .”

Seeing the bleak and unlovely look on the King of Silla's face, Gao Xianzhi stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Although we don't have an advantage in numbers, we may not be defeated by Dongying."

"Oh? How do you say that?" A trace of expectation rose in the eyes of the King of Silla.

"Because we have a marshal. Your Majesty doesn't know about it. Although the marshal is young and young, he is very resourceful. He has millions of soldiers in his chest. It can be said that he is planning a strategy and winning a victory thousands of miles away!" Gao Xianzhi said seriously.

King Silla looked at Li Canghai in surprise, and he didn't quite believe what Gao Xianzhi said.

Gao Xianzhi knew that they didn't believe it, just when he was about to tell them about how Li Canghai subdued Baekje with a clever plan, suddenly something happened.

Suddenly there was a scream like a drake's voice outside the main hall: "Where is Li Canghai? Where is Li Canghai?"
