Li Ji led 20,000 troops and set up defense lines at various crossings in southern Silla.
Li Xiaogong personally led the navy and sailed along the coastline, waiting only for the arrival of Japanese pirate reinforcements.
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, led the remaining troops and the Silla mission that went to the Tang Dynasty for help and went straight to Jincheng, the capital of Silla.
Li Chengqian on the battlefield is completely different from the person he is in daily life.
While he was directing the march of the army, he was also directing his scouts to search for intelligence everywhere.
In the early stages of the war between Silla and the Japanese pirates, they were all commanded by Jin Rongxin.
And Jin Rongxin did show his general style in the early stage.
He employs people in an eclectic way, and he also dares to fight and do things when marching, and is not bound by the world.
Moreover, he indeed led the Silla army to win many battles against the Japanese pirates, and even wanted to drive the Japanese pirates away from the border.
But after all, Jin Rongxin is still younger.
Under the sophisticated planning of his opponent, Jin Rongxin suffered from his inexperience.
Once the Japanese pirates pretended to be defeated, Jin Rongxin directly ordered the pursuit.
As a result, more than ten thousand of Silla's elite were directly buried within the opponent's encirclement.
In this battle, Silla suffered heavy losses.
Since then, the Japanese pirates have reversed their initial decline and made rapid progress.
Jin Rongxin could only lead the rest of the army to defend passively, and finally stationed troops in Liangzhou to confront the Japanese pirates.
After half a month of confrontation, King Jinpyeong of Silla took back Jin Rongxin's military power and transferred him back to the royal city. He replaced him with a veteran general from the court and went to Yangzhou to continue fighting against the Japanese pirates.
Then Jin Rongxin accompanied his father Jin Jianye to escort Kinderman to Datang for help.
But no one expected that before reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived, Liangzhou would be captured by Japanese pirates.
Moreover, before the soldiers who fled from Liangzhou could return to the capital, they were intercepted and hunted down by the dwarf soldiers along the way, and they retreated into the territory of Kangzhou in the west to rest and recuperate.
After that, 50,000 dwarf soldiers took advantage of the situation and attacked Jincheng...
When Li Chengqian received the information, it was already two days after the incident happened.
Now I'm afraid that all the dwarf soldiers have arrived at the Golden City. outside.
As for Li Chengqian, if he wanted to rush over to support him, it would take at least three days to reach Jincheng.
If the Silla Royal City is destroyed, everything we have done so far will be in vain.
Li Chengqian brought people here to help Silla resist the invasion of Japanese pirates, not to help Silla rebuild its country.
therefore.
Li Chengqian had to change his original strategy.
That night, he found Li Tingxue and Gao Zhixing.
"The current situation is not optimistic. The Japanese pirates have already arrived outside Jincheng."
"As far as I know, there are less than 20,000 combat-ready soldiers in Golden City."
Li Chengqian said: "And most of them are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield, as well as the old, young, sick and disabled."
"Faced with these dwarf soldiers, they probably won't be able to resist for a few days."
He wasn't being alarmist either.
Judging from Silla's previous record, they were no match for the Japanese pirates.
Earlier, relying on Jin Rongxin's fierce energy, he might be able to compete with the opponent.
But now, in a state of total decline, Silla will fall into a passive and beaten situation again.
In terms of momentum, he was overwhelmed by the opponent.
As a result, their chances of winning are even lower.
"And I won't beat around the bush with you, I'll just tell the truth."
Li Chengqian looked directly at the two of them and said: "I am going to lead ten thousand troops and troops, lightly armed and simple, to go over first to support them."
"no."
"This is absolutely not okay."
"You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and your task is to command the three armies."
Li Tingxue said directly: "If you want to support us, we will support you. How can you go?"
"That's right."
"And I have experience in commanding emergency marches."
Gao Zhixing echoed:
"So, it's safer for me to go."
"That's true..."
Li Chengqian's real advantage lies in the vertical and horizontal planning of commanding the three armies.
And in terms of close combat, he is indeed not as good as Gao Zhixing.
This point has actually been verified in the Northeast battlefield.
He led the army alone, always escaped from danger, and was besieged several times.
Even Mo Daobing, who was invincible under Gao Zhixing and Li Tingxue, almost died under Li Chengqian's hands.
Li Chengqian, who knew his own shortcomings, did not try to be strong.
Furthermore, he originally didn't want to go by himself. The reason why he told them was to let Gao Zhixing speak on his own.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
He looked straight at Gao Zhixing and said, "Is ten thousand troops and horses enough for you?"
"I'm here to support, not to annihilate the enemy."
Gao Zhixing rolled his eyes and said, "Ten thousand troops and horses are enough."
"good."
Li Chengqian casually took out a command arrow and threw it to Gao Zhixing, saying: "Then you go and count the troops and set off tonight."
Gao Zhixing caught the command arrow, cupped his hands and said, "As ordered."
After saying this, he walked out.
After he left.
Li Tingxue turned around and looked at Li Chengqian with a resentful face: "Why did you let him go and not me?"
{Received resentment value +99 from Li Tingxue...}
Listen to the system beep.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Isn't this asking my sister to stay and protect me?"
"Do you still need protection?"
Li Tingxue's brows raised repeatedly.
Li Tingxue had seen this guy's strength with his own eyes.
Does he still need to protect himself?
This is obviously an excuse and an excuse.
"I see that you boy clearly doesn't intend to let me go into battle to kill the enemy!"
Li Tingxue looked coldly Laughing, shaking his wrist, he walked towards Li Chengqian:
"Now, I give you two choices, either let me go to the battlefield, or I will spread your ass!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Li Chengqian kept covering his butt: "Sister, I am the commander-in-chief of the army, you should save some face for me."
"Want to save face?"
Li Tingxue looked at Li Chengqian coldly and said, "Okay, agree to my conditions, and I'll give you this face."
"No, sister."
Li Chengqian smiled naively and said, "I really have other plans for you."
"Um?"
Li Tingxue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are the arrangements?"
Li Chengqian also knew that he could no longer hide it from Li Tingxue.
Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to escape this beating, and I will lose face.
Therefore, he simply told the truth: "I originally planned to send an army to block the Japanese pirates' attack."
"Then he led a special force to the rear of the Japanese army to build fortifications in advance."
"In this way, we can not only cut off the Japanese pirates' food supply line, but also cut off their retreat route."
"Use this strategy of attacking from both front and back to achieve the previously set strategic goal of annihilating them all."
"And this extraordinary force will naturally be led by me personally."
"But as soon as I left, there was no one to lead the army..."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tingxue with a smile and said: "Compared to Gao Zhixing, my sister is obviously the most suitable candidate to lead the army to slowly advance over."
After hearing what Li Chengqian said.
Li Tingxue's brows were twitching: "From what you say, it seems that you have already planned it..."
"hey-hey."
Li Chengqian smiled innocently and said, "It's just a plan. Sister, there is no need to praise me."
"I praise you for being such a big-headed devil!"
"You kid is really itchy. You even plotted against your sister."
After saying this, Li Tingxue quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Li Chengqian on the head.
