After Yeon Gaesomun captured Silla, he was ambitious and ambitious, and was already dreaming of unifying the entire Korean Peninsula.
Unexpectedly, at this time, one hundred thousand Tang troops were chasing them again.
Yeon Gae So-moon suddenly woke up from most of his daydream.
He originally had 100,000 troops, but he still couldn't fight against the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, now that he only has 40,000 soldiers left, what can he do against the Tang Dynasty?
For a moment, Yeon Gae So-moon was simply filled with worry.
And, at this time, Yeon Gaesumun suddenly came to his senses.
When he attacked Silla himself, he must have been used as a weapon by the Tang Dynasty!
If not, why would the Tang Dynasty wait until it had conquered Silla before attacking itself?
If he had been chasing closely behind, combined with Silla, and attacked from both front and back.
I'm afraid they would have been annihilated by now.
But the Tang Dynasty did not do this. They watched helplessly as they wiped out their ally Silla.
Then attack yourself again.
Datang wanted to take over the entire peninsula in one fell swoop!
Damn, it's really hateful.
Now he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses. If there is no foreign aid, he is afraid that he will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty soon.
Therefore, Yeon Gaesomun had no choice but to immediately send envoys to Baekje and Wa to ask for their support.
Yeongaesomun and these two countries have always been relatively close.
Over the years, Yeongaesomun and Baekje have also united to bully Silla.
As for the Japanese country, they also had relatively frequent interactions with them.
The king of Baekje, King Uiji, after receiving Yeongaesomun's request for help, thought over and over again and finally decided to support Yeongaesomun.
Over the years, they and Goguryeo have often bullied Silla.
Silla was a vassal state of Tang Dynasty.
Bullying Silla is equivalent to going against the Tang Dynasty.
Now Goguryeo is finished.
If they watched the Tang Dynasty destroy Yeon Gaesumun, looking back, would the Tang Dynasty let them go to Baekje?
Obviously, it won't.
Now they and Yeon Gaesomun are just two grasshoppers on a rope.
He can't run away from you, and he can't jump from him.
Therefore, in the end, King Uiji decided to send troops to assist Yeon Gaesomun.
…
What King Yiji didn't know was that Li Min had already prepared for the Baekje Association to send troops.
Li Min's unmanned reconnaissance plane was hovering in the sky.
Early on, they detected Baekje's movements.
This time, Baekje sent a total of 30,000 troops.
They were secretive and sneaky all the way, and it looked like they were preparing to stab Tang Jun in the back.
However, I have to say that their thinking was too simple.
This time, the Baekje general's name was Sha Chongtian.
This Sha Chongtian is commanding his 30,000 troops.
"Everyone should be careful not to gallop or make too much noise. You should be careful to hide your figure, and then take advantage of them when they are not prepared to bite them hard from behind."
"After climbing over this mountain, you can see the Tang Army in front of you. Everyone stared. If any one of them is discovered by the Tang Army, I will definitely engage in military law and will never tolerate it!"
"Yes, General!"
"Hush! Are you looking for death? Why are you so loud?"
Under the leadership of Sha Chongtian, they passed through the mountainous area in front of them and arrived on a grassland.
After passing through this grassland for more than fifty miles, they will be able to reach the territory of Yeon Gaesumun.
As long as they can catch Tang Jun off guard and stab Tang Jun in the back.
I believe that Yeon Gaesumun will not miss this opportunity. When the time comes, they will be able to drive away the Tang army by cooperating internally and externally.
When they arrived here, they marched more cautiously for fear of being intercepted by Tang army scouts.
After a while, a high slope appeared in front of us.
"General, be careful there is an ambush ahead!"
Snapped!
"Are you stupid? If the Tang army wanted to ambush us, instead of ambush in the mountains behind, would they go to a place like this to ambush us?"
"Yes, the general is wise!"
"superior!"
After their front army stepped onto the high slope, they did not find the ambush of the Tang army.
At this time, all the sergeants admired their general's keen judgment.
However, when nearly one-third of the 30,000-strong army marched onto the high slope, the situation suddenly changed.
On the grass, countless straw men suddenly appeared.
These straw men are all green and look exactly like humans.
These straw men actually had crossbows in their hands and seemed to be aiming at them.
Then, when these Baekje soldiers took a closer look, weren’t they just human beings?
But, how come these people are green?
Whoosh!
Whizzing!
Just before they could react, countless crossbow arrows shot out of the air.
The corpses of the Baekje cavalry suddenly fell down like haystacks.
"No, there's an enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Baekje cavalry suddenly became chaotic.
The ambush location and attack time chosen by the Tang army were simply too deadly and essential.
This time point and the ambush point happened to be stuck at the most awkward and uncomfortable point for the Baekje cavalry.
Only one-third of the cavalry in front of them rushed up the high slope.
Faced with a sudden attack, their instinctive reaction is of course to retreat.
And the large group of cavalry behind them couldn't get up at all.
The cavalry in front wanted to retreat, but they couldn't retreat for a while.
The Tang army's crossbow attack was very deadly.
Their crossbow arrows have extremely strong penetrating power.
The light helmets worn by the Baekje cavalry were as fragile as paper in front of the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty.
The Baekje cavalry fell one after another, causing trouble to the subsequent cavalry.
At this time, the Baekje cavalry finally reacted and began to counterattack.
What made them despair was that when their bows and arrows hit the Tang army, they could not penetrate the Tang army's armor at all.
But at this moment, on both sides of the high slope, straw men actually grew up one after another.
The Tang army ambushed here, at least tens of thousands of people.
What's ridiculous is that the Baekje cavalry didn't notice anything in advance.
Don't say that Sha Chongtian didn't send scouts to investigate in advance.
Even if they send out scouts, they may not be able to discover the Tang army.
Because in their subconscious mind, they never think about someone hiding in the grass.
On the endless grassland, if you had hidden yourself on the grass, you would have been discovered by them long ago.
But what they never expected was that Tang Jun was actually hiding in the grass.
Fortunately, Baekje's general Sa Chongtian was a decisive man in killing.
After discovering that something was wrong, in this kind of terrain, if they fought head-on with the Tang army, they would most likely face the end of their entire army being annihilated.
Therefore, Sha Chongtian decisively ordered the Baekje cavalry to retreat.
The remaining Baekje cavalry changed from the rear to the front, quickly turned their horses and retreated.
However, when turning around on a high slope, due to terrain restrictions, their speed is much slower than on flat ground.
In this process, what they could do was to fight back with their bows and arrows, which were difficult to cause damage to the Tang army.
During this process, the Tang army's crossbow shooting never stopped.
The Baekje cavalry were falling in pieces every moment.
Such a loss made Sha Chongtian's heart bleed.
damned!
With great difficulty, the remaining Baekje cavalry turned their horses and began to retreat.
They were not discovered until they completely retreated to a safe place and Sha Chongtian counted the points.
They originally had 30,000 cavalry, but now they have lost at least 6,000 to 7,000.
At least one-fifth of the Baekje cavalry was lost in the ambush of the Tang army just now.
Such a loss made Sha Chongtian furious.
Baekje is not strong because their territory is not large.
If you think about it, you will know that there are actually three countries coexisting on the Korean Peninsula, which was originally a small land.
In their case, these three countries are their history of the Three Kingdoms.
Among these three countries, Goguryeo occupies almost half of the land.
You can only imagine how big Baekje can be.
The total number of soldiers and horses in Baekje is only 100,000.
Today, six to seven thousand people were lost all at once, which means that one-fifteenth of the country's troops and horses were lost.
If you gain something, that's it. It's a loss without making any achievements.
After returning home, there was simply no way to explain to their King Yici!
At this time, Sha Chongtian was very angry.
After gathering the soldiers, Sha Chongtian led the cavalry and launched a counterattack against the Tang army.
The Tang army ambushing them this time was about the same number as them, probably more than 30,000 soldiers.
But these 30,000 people are all infantry.
In the battle between cavalry and infantry, the cavalry definitely has the advantage.
The cavalry can move widely, and can take advantage of mounted archery to continuously launch missiles from a distance.
It eats away at the infantry bit by bit.
You can also use the speed and momentum of the cavalry to continuously charge and kill the infantry.
Soon, more than 20,000 Baekje cavalry menacingly charged at the Tang army's infantry.
Not long after, they will soon be within Baekje's projectile range.
Although their shooting just now did not achieve much effect.
But Sha Chongtian believed that it was entirely due to their lack of preparation.
If they were well prepared, how could it be ineffective?
However, before they could shoot, Tang Jun shot first.
At this time, Baekje general Sha Chongtian showed a disdainful smile on his face.
At such a long distance, even their cavalry's projectiles couldn't hit them. Is the Tang army just trying to make a fool of themselves?
But what happened next shocked him.
Because these crossbow arrows actually posed a threat to their army.
What surprised him even more was that Tang Jun's shooting speed was so frequent.
You know, when an archer draws a bow and shoots an arrow, it puts a heavy burden on the muscles.
An archer, usually, can only shoot ten arrows at most before he needs to rest.
Thirty arrows at most, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot again in a short time.
But these Tang troops, from the beginning to now, each of them has shot far more than thirty arrows, right?
Why are they so fierce?
Well, then Sha Chongtian noticed that it turned out that the Tang army used crossbow arrows.
Directly using the machine to launch, no manpower is needed at all.
No wonder I can keep cumming for so long!
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
The Tang army's shooting was also continuing.
The Baekje cavalry is losing strength every moment.
Closer, closer!
But at this moment, Tang Jun suddenly fired his spear!
On this terrain backed by a high slope, the Tang army once again set up a spear formation!
Baekje's cavalry was three points inferior to Yeongaesomun's cavalry.
Their attack was far less powerful than the Goguryeo cavalry.
Facing the Tang Dynasty's spear array, their fate was even more miserable than that of the Goguryeo cavalry.
In this attack, Goguryeo once again lost four to five thousand cavalry before escaping.
Together twice, they have lost nearly ten thousand people!
Sha Chongtian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, gritted his silver teeth, and issued the order to retreat.
With these Tang troops here, they will definitely not be able to rush out.
Now that they have suffered such heavy losses, he has decided not to participate in the next battle.
Thinking of this, Sha Chongtian led his soldiers and prepared to return directly to Baekje.
The 30,000 Tang Army infantrymen behind them were relentless in their pursuit.
At this time, Sha Chongtian sneered again.
snort!
You infantrymen still want to chase my cavalry?
It's so ridiculous!
Can you with two legs outrun us with four legs?
Follow behind and eat shit! Drive!
Soon, Sha Chongtian led a large army and rushed into the mountain peak he passed when he came.
Looking back, I saw that the 30,000 Tang troops were far behind and no trace could be seen.
Sha Chongtian laughed again.
After a while, the mountain path they were walking on became narrower and narrower.
The speed of their advance also began to slow down.
However, they had already traveled this journey once before.
I was familiar with the road and didn't feel nervous at all.
This section of road is about three miles long. If nothing happens, you can travel through it quickly.
Not long after, the leading army in front of them was about to walk out.
After crossing this trail, the road ahead becomes wider.
But at this moment, countless Tang troops suddenly stood up on the hillside.
These Tang troops knocked down countless stones from the hillside.
Countless rocks suddenly rolled down the hillside with the force of thunder.
At this moment, countless Baekje cavalrymen were hit by rocks and screamed in agony.
There were also many cavalrymen who fell directly to the bottom of the cliff because their horses were frightened.
This is a second cliff, with a height of at least ten feet. If you fall, the chance of surviving is very slim.
For a time, the Baekje cavalry suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this scene, their general Sha Chongtian was heartbroken.
The soldiers who hurriedly shouted to him ran back.
But on this narrow mountain road, it is very difficult to turn the horses around.
The soldiers in front had difficulty turning their horses' heads, while those in the back couldn't wait. Not only did they urge him verbally, they even couldn't help but pick up their weapons to assist.
For a moment, the entire team was in chaos.
Because the rear army is at the very back and now it is the entire army, the chance of them running out is quite high.
But the Chinese army was not so lucky.
Tang Jun didn't know how long he had been preparing here.
The prepared stones are simply too sufficient.
Until now, a quarter of an hour has passed, and they have not finished throwing away the rocks they prepared.
It looks like it can continue to shoot for a while.
Then, they also had terrifying crossbow arrows in their hands.
This sneak attack caused heavy losses to the Baekje cavalry.
Originally with 30,000 troops, they had already lost more than 10,000 cavalry in the first sneak attack.
Now there are only 20,000 cavalry left, and most of them have been lost again.
Those who were able to escape in time were only the rear army and a small part of the central army, with at most six or seven thousand cavalry.
Fortunately, their general Sha Chongtian was in the position of the central army.
And he was lucky enough to avoid being hit by rocks and escaped in time.
Now, Sha Chongtian just wants to rush out of this hillside quickly.
This is not the only way back to Baekje.
Of course, this is the shortest way.
All other roads have to go around in a big circle.
But other roads are not so dangerous.
Now Sha Chongtian just wants to get out of here as soon as possible and then take a detour back to his country.
But when they came to the edge of the hillside, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The front was completely blocked by 30,000 Tang troops.
Moreover, among these 30,000 Tang troops were 10,000 spearmen.
On the hillsides on both sides were ten thousand archers.
In this terrain, their cavalry has simply become a decoration.
This terrain cannot be impacted at all.
There is no room for them to hide.
Fighting in this kind of terrain is simply a graveyard for cavalry.
Behind them, there were also Tang troops armed with crossbows, and they began to besiege them continuously.
There is really an interception in front and a pursuit behind.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind!
They have been trapped in the middle by the Tang army, like turtles in an urn.
At this time, the Tang troops on both sides were slowly moving closer to them.
The distance between the two sides is constantly getting closer.
The archers of the Tang Army had their arrows strung and were ready to shoot at any time.
And the distance was only a little bit short of entering Datang's range.
A tense atmosphere permeated the two armies.
At this time, Baekje's cavalry was extremely frightened.
Nerves are in a tense state.
Because at this time, they have no way to go, and what is waiting for them may be a dead end!
At this moment——,
"Wait!"
But it was Baekje's general Sa Chongtian who shouted loudly.
As for the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui waved his hand and stopped the Tang army from advancing.
Then Xue Rengui gave Sha Chongtian a cold look to see what he had to say.
I saw Sha Chongtian shouting loudly: "As a general, I don't want to see my men die helplessly! Therefore, I am willing to lead the army to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and I also ask you to give them a way to survive!"
Hearing that their general actually asked to surrender, the more than 6,000 Baekje cavalrymen were deeply moved.
The general really suffered a great sacrifice for them.
The more than 6,000 soldiers actually cheered.
Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui couldn't help but show contempt on his face.
However, this is a good thing.
The more than 6,000 Baekje cavalry can be captured without any effort.
Soon, all these more than 6,000 people were captured.
Next, these six thousand Baekje soldiers, under the command of Xue Rengui, changed their clothes.
Xue Rengui first ordered the six thousand soldiers to be imprisoned, and then ordered the six thousand Tang troops to change into the clothes of Baekje soldiers.
That's right, this time they went to Baekje to defraud the city gate.
This time, they directly brought Sha Chongtian over.
In order to prevent anything from happening in Sha Chongtian.
Xue Rengui stabbed Sha Chongtian directly and then bandaged him.
Next, Xue Rengui leaned next to Sha Chongtian, looking as if he was afraid that he would fall and supported him.
In fact, Xue Rengui was holding a dagger, right at the back of Sha Chongtian's heart.
As long as Sha Chongtian reveals anything wrong, Xue Rengui can end Sha Chongtian's life with one strike of his sword.
Looking at the cowardly way this guy surrendered just now, Xue Rengui felt that he must be a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the first city gate of Baekje, Sha Chongtian was extremely cooperative.
He easily opened the gate of the first city.
What happens next is very simple.
Six thousand Tang troops took control of the first city easily.
Then when the Tang army arrived later, Xue Rengui led 6,000 soldiers and Sha Chongtian to continue to defraud the second city.
In one day, he actually managed to open three cities.
Only then did Baekje react.
But in these three cities, the 20,000 defenders had been completely eaten by the Tang Dynasty.
So far, Baekje has only had 50,000 troops with all its strength.
They also didn't expect that they only sent 30,000 troops and horses to prepare to assist Yeon Gaesumun.
Unexpectedly, he actually set off a fire, causing the Tang Dynasty to transfer its hatred directly to Baekje.
Now let’s attack them directly, Baekje.
What made Baekje even more angry was their general Sha Chongtian.
Although everyone now knows that he surrendered to Datang, he is already an enemy.
But he actually persuaded two Baekje cities to surrender again.
Let Baekje's strength be frustrated once again.
And the Tang Dynasty will soon descend on their capital.
Baekje simply couldn't defend it.
At the critical moment, Baekje had no choice but to ask for help from Yeon Gaesomun.
I hope Yeon Gaesumun can send troops to attack the Tang army from behind, even if it can threaten the Tang army, it would be good.
Baekje fell to this fate because they helped Yeon Gaesumun.
In their view, this request is perfectly normal.
But what they never expected was that Yeon Gaesowon agreed readily.
However, there was no plan to send troops at all.
Baekje didn't wait until Yeongaesomun sent troops, and his teeth itched in anger.
This bastard is so hateful!
Just when Baekje was extremely nervous and tried its best to defend against the Tang army's attack.
However, they did not expect that the Tang army actually launched its navy, came around from the sea behind them, and attacked them from behind.
Several cities along their coast were easily captured by the Tang navy without any precautions.
At this point, their capital was the only lone city left in the entire Baekje.
And at this time, they were surrounded by the Tang Legion.
Faced with the heavy siege by the Tang army, is there any chance that their isolated city could survive?
If Yeon Gaesomun and the Japanese country spared no effort to help them, they might still have a chance to survive.
But now, will Yeon Gaesumun and Japan really help them wholeheartedly?
The answer is probably no!
In the end, King Uiji of Baekje chose to surrender.
When Li Min captured Baekje, he was about to turn around and capture Yeongaesomun.
