For the ordinary people of the Japanese country, the arrival of the Tang army brought them real benefits.
With Tang Jun here, their lives could finally be settled.
In fact, the local security is better than before.
The common people are like this, they don't care who is in power.
As long as anyone can give them food and a good life, they will be grateful to anyone.
Therefore, the Japanese people in these cities were extremely supportive of the Tang army.
After a day of repairs, on the second day, Li Min suddenly received a report from the scouts.
It is said that they saw the movements of Yeon Gaesumun's army in the city fifty miles ahead.
Li Min has an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that can detect terrain in the sky.
However, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also have limitations. For example, its range of activities is only fifteen or sixteen miles, less than twenty miles.
It will definitely not be detectable fifty miles away.
Furthermore, it is impossible for Li Min to stare at the screen 24 hours a day.
A detector will always have omissions.
Therefore, even though Li Min held the detector, he still sent a large number of scouts to spy on the news.
After receiving the news, Li Min left 10,000 people to stay in the city.
Then he led the army and set off immediately, heading fifty miles away.
The marching speed of the Tang army was still very fast.
Because they also don’t have much need to carry dry food.
When they were about to approach the battlefield, all 50,000 navy troops had been dispatched by Li Min to the battleships.
All food transportation was handled by warships.
The terrain of Japan is extremely long and narrow, so it is very convenient and fast to transport food along the coast.
It's faster than traveling by land.
The army does not need to transport food and grass, so it can advance very quickly every day.
It's more than fifty miles away and can be reached in more than two hours.
Early the next morning, Li Min first sent Qin Huaiyu to lead 10,000 forwards to explore the road ahead.
Well, this is enough to show how extravagant Datang was.
The pioneers exploring the road each have 10,000 soldiers and horses.
With so many soldiers and horses, they won't panic even if they encounter Yeon Gaesumun's main force.
What's more, how could Yeon Gaesomun send all his main forces to one place?
Behind, Li Min led a large army and moved forward slowly.
More than two hours later, they arrived outside the Baqi City.
Li Min knew that Japan believed in the Yamata no Orochi.
This city, called Yamata Castle, must have a certain connection with the Yamata no Orochi.
Of course, Li Min didn't care what kind of legend this city had.
Li Min was not interested in that at all.
After Li Min arrived, Qin Huaiyu rushed over to report to Li Min.
"General General, there are approximately 5,000 troops stationed in the Baqi City in front of you."
"Just two days ago, they rushed to Baqi City and killed all the old people and children in the city."
"The women and the food were under their control and were being prepared to be transported away."
"They are also ready to give up on this city and withdraw everyone to the surroundings of their royal city."
"At the same time, they also recruited 5,000 young men in Baqi City to form a new army. However, my subordinates believe that this new army has no combat effectiveness at all."
"In fact, they can't even be equipped with weapons."
"My subordinates have set an ambush on the road they must pass. They have no way to escape."
After hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Li Min couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
This is also the reason why Li Min would only send Qin Huaiyu for this kind of task, but not Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi.
Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi, if you let them charge into battle and fight on the battlefield, how can they really be top-notch heroes?
But do this to spy on the enemy's situation and make your own choices and judgments based on the enemy's situation.
They can't do this kind of thing.
And as long as Qin Huaiyu is sent, it will be done properly.
Well, actually Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi are all generals of the navy.
But they always feel that fighting at sea is not enough.
Now that they finally got a chance, they wanted to have fun.
And Li Min considered that the difference in naval strength between Yuan Gaisuwen and Tang Jun's navy was really too big, and they were not on the same level at all.
Even if only the deputy general is there, it will be fine.
Therefore, Li Min also agreed to the three people's requests.
After listening to Qin Huaiyu's report, Li Min nodded.
Next, Li Min used an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to check the situation in the city.
Then I discovered that the city was really extremely miserable at this time.
There were dead bodies everywhere, blood flowed everywhere, and the city was filled with an air of murder.
On the streets, one could constantly see women running out of their houses, followed by several men chasing them out with lewd smiles, and then dragging them in.
From the lens, Li Min can clearly see it.
The reason why this woman escaped was not for the so-called chastity.
In the Japanese country, women did not take chastity so seriously.
This is not the Tang Dynasty.
These women escaped because they had reached their limit.
If they don't escape, they feel they will die inside.
However, under the siege of those Goguryeo soldiers, how could they escape?
Seeing this scene, Li Min couldn't help but reveal a murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Min was not surprised at all that these Goguryeo soldiers would humiliate women.
But Li Min hated that these beasts, this was not enough, and they actually tortured people to death!
It’s really inhumane!
These people should all die!
Li Min saw many cars parked outside.
There were new troops who had just arrived and were carrying food to the carts.
Some Goguryeo soldiers were standing by with whips to supervise.
Whoever walks slowly will be whipped and cursed.
They should be leaving soon.
In this case, there is no need to attack the city.
These Goguryeo soldiers never expected that the Tang army would arrive so quickly.
In other words, they simply didn't know that Tang Jun had arrived.
After all, they had committed many evil deeds in the Japanese country and had already incurred public outrage. No Japanese people would tell them such news.
Therefore, these Goguryeo soldiers were extremely lazy and did not even send out many scouts, let alone knowing that the Tang army had arrived.
In this case, setting up an ambush outside the city can easily annihilate them.
And if you choose to attack the city, you will probably suffer some losses.
Furthermore, those who suffered in the city were the people of the Japanese country.
Li Min just couldn't stand it and didn't feel much sympathy in his heart.
I don't know why, but Li Min really doesn't have much favorable impression of this kind of nation full of bad nature.
Next, Li Min ordered Xue Rengui to lead 10,000 troops and horses to cooperate with Qin Huaiyu.
Be sure not to let anyone go.
The other generals took their orders and set up ambushes everywhere.
It can be said that as long as they leave the city, what awaits them will be an ambush on all sides.
When the time comes, these Goguryeo soldiers will really have no chance of escaping.
…
Next, after waiting for about an hour, the Goguryeo soldiers lazily drove the new soldiers to pull carts to transport food.
And they personally transported the women from the Japanese country.
Many of these women were so scarred by their toying that they could not even walk.
But those Goguryeo soldiers who were guarding him showed no compassion at all.
If you see someone falling behind, go up and give them a whip.
Some of them couldn't walk. These Goguryeo soldiers went up and stabbed them, killing them.
Really what kind of general and tie.
Yeon Gaesomun was domineering and domineering throughout his life, and the soldiers he led were as virtuous as him.
Li Min used an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to observe the movements of this group of Goguryeo soldiers at any time.
I have to say, they are really too lazy.
He was so lazy that Li Min couldn't stand it anymore.
The front and rear teams, separated by seniors, were seriously out of touch.
If they are attacked, they will be fighting on their own and it will be a messy situation.
But now, his rear army has just left the city.
If Li Min gave the order to attack now, their rear troops would probably retreat back into the city.
At that time, it will inevitably take a lot of effort.
Fortunately, although their team was very long, Qin Huaiyu was still very considerate.
I guess I have already considered this issue.
The ambush point he had planned was also far away.
However, in this way, Li Min's encirclement had to be expanded again.
Fortunately, there are walkie-talkies available now.
As long as they are within ten miles, the walkie-talkies have signals and can communicate with each other.
If there are any changes in decision-making, you can be notified at any time.
Next, the Tang army's encirclement had to be expanded.
After waiting for half an hour, all the Goguryeo troops finally left the city gate.
The Tang army, under the leadership of Li Min, followed them from a distance.
Anyway, Li Min has an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and can see their movements at any time, so he is not afraid of them getting lost at all.
There is a distance of five or six miles, and the road ahead is very winding.
It was impossible for the Goguryeo soldiers to detect the Tang army.
…
Walking at the forefront was Goguryeo's vanguard army.
Behind them are the new troops transporting food.
Behind them are the women who were gathered together among the Japanese.
Finally, there is the team behind the Goguryeo Palace.
The Goguryeo vanguard army at the forefront numbered a thousand people.
The road ahead is a winding and bumpy road that is prone to accidents.
If someone sets up an ambush on both sides of the road, the consequences will be disastrous.
But the leaders of the vanguard never thought there would be an ambush here.
Because that’s where they came from for two or three days.
Then they never saw any enemies in the city.
So where could there be an ambush here?
The team leader didn't even send any scouts to take a look above.
Of course, even if he really sends out scouts.
If you didn't search carefully, it would be difficult to find Tang Jun.
However, they didn't even send out any scouts. This is incredible.
This made Qin Huaiyu feel very hurt.
You know, how much thought did Qin Huaiyu go to in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Goguryeo soldiers?
How much cover was used at the ambush site?
Qin Huaiyu did the best he could.
But in the end, no one even came to take a look.
There is always a feeling of glaring at a blind man.
Once here, the advance speed of the vanguard army accelerated a bit.
Not long after, all these thousand people entered the encirclement of the Tang army.
"attack!"
Following Qin Huaiyu's order, countless stones were thrown down from both sides.
The screams of the Goguryeo soldiers suddenly echoed in all directions.
The ambush here is really perfect.
All the escape routes for these thousand soldiers were cut off, and there was really no chance of survival at all.
The grain transport team at the back were all Goguryeo soldiers, young and strong men selected from among the Japanese people.
It can be said that they have a bloody feud with the Goguryeo soldiers.
Naturally, they did not want to follow the Goguryeo soldiers.
Therefore, if there is a war ahead, they will not know exactly what is going on.
But at this time, just run.
So, these were the so-called new troops who had no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies.
He threw away the cart carrying grain and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, except for the abandoned car, everyone on the scene disappeared.
The Goguryeo team behind was also shocked.
At this time, their only enemy was the Tang Army.
However, until now, they have not been able to figure out where Tang Jun came from.
Obviously they didn't see the Tang army at all, so why were they suddenly attacked?
Could these Tang troops still be able to fly?
Listening to the pitiful cries of their comrades in front of them, they were able to determine which of their former comrades would have a hard time surviving.
If that's the case, it's better to die as a fellow Taoist than to die as a poor Taoist.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of Goguryeo soldiers was still very strong.
When they were at their most powerful, they also occupied a large area in the north.
They are constantly invading and expanding, and they can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles.
But after fighting against Datang, they discovered helplessly that when facing Datang, they were no match at all.
It's just like a father beating his son, just hanging him up and beating him.
Therefore, at this time, a shadow has already appeared in their hearts.
Even before they saw the shadow of the Tang army, they decisively gave up their food and grass, the new army, and the beauties they captured.
Because they knew clearly that once they saw Tang Jun's appearance clearly, they would not be able to escape.
Now, they had just left the city gate, not many miles away.
As long as they could run into the city, they would be able to escape, but at least there would still be a glimmer of hope.
And if you stay here, you will definitely have no chance of survival.
However, just when they turned back and ran out for less than a mile, they suddenly discovered that their way had been blocked by the Tang army.
It turned out that the Tang army not only came, but also pressed in with a large force.
If you want to run back, you will definitely not be able to go back.
And they completely lacked the courage to fight the Tang army head-on.
There was no way, because they had tasted the power of the Tang army's crossbows.
Even a hundred steps away, it can still penetrate their armor.
Moreover, their crossbows can be fired continuously and are fired using a machine.
Both frequency and intensity far exceed them.
In their understanding, fighting against the Tang army was simply seeking death.
Therefore, these Goguryeo soldiers quickly ran to both sides.
In order to survive, their small universe exploded, and their two legs ran directly into Hot Wheels.
Rao Shi Tangjun is well-trained and usually conducts running training.
In terms of physical fitness, they were more than a step ahead of the Goguryeo soldiers.
But now, the Tang army failed to catch up with the Goguryeo soldiers. Instead, they ran further and further away.
However, Tang Jun was not in a hurry and just followed them slowly.
As a result, not long after running, the Goguryeo soldiers discovered that there were also Tang troops blocking them from the side.
There were countless Tang troops surrounding us from all directions.
Could it be that the Tang army has arrived?
But why didn't they get any news?
The Tang Army was such a huge team. If they came, there would be no chance that there would be no movement at all.
Why didn't they know anything about it?
At this time, they finally realized belatedly that they had completely lost their mass base.
Even if those Japanese knew that the Tang army was coming, they would only feel happy in their hearts and wished they were all killed by the Tang army. Would they tell them the news?
Unfortunately, they realized it too late.
At this time, these Goguryeo soldiers were very desperate.
They are still hesitating.
Should we just charge forward and fight our way out?
Or should we turn around and look for areas where the Tang army's defense is even weaker?
But just when they were hesitating, Tang Jun didn't give them a chance to continue hesitating at all.
The Tang army quickly pursued and killed them, and then directly fired with crossbow arrows.
The sky was full of arrows, shooting at the Goguryeo soldiers like raindrops.
The Goguryeo soldiers suddenly fell in pieces.
Where do the remaining soldiers have any fighting spirit?
They turned around quickly and ran backwards.
However, when they once again used the speed of hot wheels to widen the distance.
When they ran several miles away, they were panting from exhaustion, and their lungs felt like they were on fire.
With their hands on their knees and gasping for breath, they suddenly discovered that there was another Tang army in front of them, chasing them quickly.
At this time, they finally despaired.
It turned out that the Tang army had already ambushed them from all sides.
Today, they may not be able to escape even if they have wings.
The Goguryeo soldiers, who were originally extremely ferocious, became frightened when faced with the Tang army, which was more ferocious and cruel than them.
Bang!
Suddenly a Goguryeo soldier dropped his weapon.
He raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, I surrender! I surrender!"
Bang!
Dang! Dang!
With the first example, more and more Goguryeo soldiers began to throw away their weapons.
Raise your hands high and choose to surrender.
If you surrender, there may be a way to survive.
And these Goguryeo warriors, they betrayed their king and followed Yeon Gaesumun.
How can such a person be loyal?
As long as they can survive, they don't care if they betray Yeon Gaesumun!
Then, during a battle, only the Tang army, which was besieged in the west, shot a round of arrows and killed some Goguryeo soldiers.
The other Tang troops had no time to take action, and the Goguryeo soldiers had already chosen to surrender.
This made Yuchi Baoqi very unhappy.
…
Next, clean the battlefield and rectify the prisoners of war.
Among the prisoners of war, Goguryeo soldiers and the new Japanese army were separated.
After all, the new soldiers of the Japanese country were actually just ordinary people two days ago.
They were forced to become soldiers by Goguryeo.
These people have no fighting ability at all.
Li Min treated them the same as he treated ordinary Japanese people.
To put it bluntly, they were actually just ordinary Japanese people.
The treatment of Goguryeo soldiers was different.
Not only were all their weapons confiscated, but also their armor.
Without weapons and armor, they were just at the mercy of others.
Some of these Goguryeo soldiers were cruel to the point of being inhumane.
Of course Li Min would not keep these people.
Next, Li Min took all five thousand Goguryeo soldiers to the open space outside the city.
Have them stand at arm's length to the left and two steps to the front and back.
At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers were very frightened and did not know what the Tang Shu King was going to do.
Next, they saw that the mutilated Japanese people were also brought out, right opposite them.
And these Japanese people looked at them with eyes filled with hatred.
I just want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
At this time, Li Min walked over slowly.
Walking up to the Japanese people, he said to them in a deep voice: "Look carefully, these people standing in front of you are the evil people who have committed many evil deeds against you!"
"Now, I give you a chance! Anyone who does something outrageous and resentful to you, you can find him out! I, the king, will make the decision for you!"
After Li Min finished speaking, which people of the Japanese country survived?
There was a bit of excitement on his face at first, then a look of fear appeared on his face, and then he hesitated again.
Seeing their expressions, Li Min certainly understood why they had such expressions.
Li Min couldn't help but sneered: "You want revenge but don't dare to stand up. Such a coward is not worthy of talking about revenge."
In response to Li Min's excitement, a man stood up tremblingly and strode towards the ranks of Goguryeo soldiers.
Pointing at one of the Goguryeo soldiers, he shouted loudly: "It's him, it's him, he killed my three children and my mother! It's him!"
Li Min nodded, and then asked the identified Goguryeo soldier: "Is what he said the truth?"
The Goguryeo soldier was shocked and frightened, and said quickly: "General, General, you are wronged! This man was killed by a villain, but the villain also acted under orders, General!"
"General, you can't kill me because of this matter! Among all of us, who's hands are not stained with blood? If you think about it this way, how can there be anyone who is not guilty?"
"War is all about bloodshed! General, it's not my fault!"
Um?
Hearing what this Goguryeo soldier said, Li Min couldn't help but be stunned.
