Li Chengqian looked at Li Tingxue with aggrieved face.
"I'll get beaten if I tell you, but I'll get beaten if I don't."
"Next time, I will keep my mouth shut and won't tell you anything..."
Seeing Li Chengqian's aggrieved look.
Li Tingxue rolled her eyes.
She said: "Okay, don't mess with me. You are not a child anymore and you don't look cute at all."
"I never said I was cute."
Li Chengqian rubbed his head and said, "This slap really hurts."
"Okay, okay."
Li Tingxue stepped forward and raised her hand to rub Li Chengqian's head and said, "It's my sister who made the wrong call, right? It's my sister who was wrong."
Eh?
Will she still admit her mistake?
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tingxue as if he were a monster.
This was the first time he heard his sister talk softly to him.
Seeing his expression, Li Tingxue withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
"Don't be so shameless."
"If you keep chirping here, I'll slap you again!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to threaten Li Chengqian.
At this time, Li Chengqian did not dare to say anything.
And Li Tingxue's face changed very quickly.
She put away her playful thoughts and said: "Now it seems that all arrangements will have to wait until the war over there in Gao Zhixing ends before they can begin..."
After finishing her words, she looked at Li Chengqian again and said, "What if he doesn't succeed?"
"If it fails, we can only let him temporarily evacuate to Baekje with the Silla royal family."
Li Chengqian looked at the map in front of him and said: "Maybe, even we will have to retreat to the Koryo Road to rest and recuperate."
After all, if the royal city of Silla was lost, it would mean that Silla no longer had the power to resist the Japanese pirates.
At that time, all the pressure will fall on Datang.
This time, their total reinforcements were only 40,000 troops, and there were still 20,000 troops stationed on the coastline, so it was impossible to support them immediately.
So in a certain sense, Gao Zhixing can only win but not lose.
… r> At the same time, the Silla Royal Court.
Now, nearly 50,000 Japanese troops have arrived outside Jincheng.
Although the siege has not yet begun, it will only be a matter of one or two days.
Silla had also fought wars with Baekje or Goguryeo before.
But he has never been beaten below the royal city.
At this moment, facing the enemy troops approaching the city, people in the royal court were also in panic.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were at a loss.
King Jinpyeong Jin Baijing summoned the ministers in the royal court overnight.
But when these people came back, no one spoke.
Seeing this scene, Jin Baijing said with a cold face: "Don't you usually talk a lot?"
"Why are you all mute now?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was speechless.
They don't know what to do now.
Jin Baijing looked directly at his Prime Minister Song Shangxiong and said: "Master Song, tell me what to do now?"
"this……"
Song Shangxiong didn't know what to say.
After all, the situation in the Royal Court is now clear.
There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Golden City.
Moreover, these 20,000 people are still newly recruited soldiers, as well as some remnants of troops who have retired from the frontline battlefields.
Even when their soldiers and horses were strong, they could not compete with the Japanese pirates.
Do we expect this remnant army, filled with old, young, sick and disabled, to be able to survive?
In fact, everyone knows it very well.
It is only a matter of time before the royal city is breached, unless a miracle happens.
But I can't say this.
Especially if it can't come out of his mouth.
Therefore, Song Shangxiong said: "There was news a few days ago that reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty are already on the way, and they will probably arrive in a few days."
"As long as our army can hold on for three days, we will definitely be able to
Wait until reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive."
Three days?
Based on our current situation, can we hold on for three days?
When all the ministers heard this, they all shook their heads.
Seeing this scene, Song Shangxiong was unhappy.
He asked bluntly: "What do you mean by this?"
"Could it be that, in your eyes, our army cannot defend it for even three days?"
"Do you still plan to let the king take the initiative to surrender to the Japanese pirates?"
His words were ostensibly addressed to the ministers in the room.
But in reality, it was a reminder to Jin Baijing that he could still surrender if he really couldn't do it anymore.
But when Jin Baijing heard this, he immediately became angry.
He slapped the table, stood up and said loudly: "It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Silla. Have you ever seen a surrendered monarch?"
No one spoke.
All of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jin Baijing.
Jin Baijing is not afraid of others.
He was afraid that these people would not say a word.
That's really annoying.
Now he wished he could just order all these people to be killed.
Jin Baijing gasped and said: "Pass my order, ordering my troops not to be on duty at the palace from now on, but all rushing to the city head to help the defenders garrison the city wall."
"The king is wise."
Song Shangxiong also knew that this matter was irreversible.
Surrender is definitely impossible. The only hope is that reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty can arrive quickly.
Therefore, he echoed: "I am willing to mobilize all the servants in the family to be dispatched by the king."
"Master Song, you are truly a loyal minister to our court, and an important minister that I can rely on."
After finishing his words, he looked at the crowd and said, "Where are you?"
After hearing this, everyone looked straight at Song Shangxiong, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Why is your mouth so dry?
Could it be that you can't say a few words less?
In that case, you can still protect yourself Leave some room to spare.
At least after the enemy broke through the city, there were still people to protect him and escape.
It's great now, I've been stabbed out by this guy like you.
But everyone hated Song Shangxiong and hated him, but now that Jin Baijing's words have been spoken out.
If they don't agree, it will appear that they are traitors and traitors.
Therefore, everyone spoke up one after another and expressed their willingness to send out their servants to assist the regular army in defending the city.
So, on the second day, a very funny scene appeared on the top of the city.
Among the Silla soldiers dressed in black armor, there appeared a large number of servants dressed in civilian clothes and carrying shovels and hoes.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese pirate leader Soga Ishikawa almost laughed his head off.
"These Silla people are really ridiculous."
"A group of generals are as stupid as pigs and dogs, and so is the king."
Soga Ishikawa smiled at the many generals around him and said, "I really don't know how they survived."
Hearing what he said, the Japanese pirate generals around him also laughed.
After all, generals generally put soldiers at the front when conducting battles.
Even if civilians are to be used, they must quietly assist from behind and cannot be discovered by the enemy.
The purpose of this is nothing more than to cover up the situation that one's own side is short of troops.
But these Silla people were lucky enough to show their trump card directly.
He almost told them with gongs and drums: "We are short of major generals, come and attack us quickly."
Soga Ishikawa put away his smile and said: "In that case, let's not be polite to them. Who will go first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a relatively tall man stood up.
He cupped his hands and said, "Mumaqi, I would like to take the lead."
"good."
"Then you will lead five thousand troops to attack the city."
Soga Ishikawa Nao said: "If you can defeat the city in one fell swoop, I will remember your success..."
Afterwards, Na Mumaqi ordered all the soldiers and horses to kill Jincheng in a mighty manner.
