Chapter 1365: Lost

The sun is rising.

The golden morning sun was reflected on the crystal morning dew, and Xu Shiji was making a simple mobilization to the generals in front of the battle.

"This year, Cheng Yanjin relied on his 12,000 men and horses to destroy the Qiuzi Kingdom with a population of hundreds of thousands and the Rat Nishi Department with more than 20,000 accounts, and added three new counties to the imperial court, hundreds of thousands of slaves, millions of livestock, cattle and sheep, and tens of millions of dollars. To be honest, I used to think that Cheng Biting Jin was more reckless, but I deeply admired Cheng Biting Jin Anxi's battle, and he made a quick decision at the opportunity, which was very decisive, and the results were even more brilliant. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cheng Biting Jin's Anxi Army, and our Andong Army, one is in the west of the empire, the other is in the eastern frontier of the empire, their conditions are much worse than ours, dozens of large and small feudal states in the Western Regions, and we, we are facing Baekje, Silla and Wa Kingdom, among which Silla is still our loyal vassal, and the Wa Kingdom is on the other side of the sea, our conditions are ten times and 100 times that of the Anxi Army, but why is the Anxi Army so great, we fight a Baekje, and we haven't done it until now?"

"Shame, shame!"

"Back then, the Sage's Eastern Crusade, the Left Fifth Army was only more than 20,000 people, but it was able to come and go freely in Goguryeo, killing from the east to the west to the north and then to the south, attacking all and conquering the invincible, many of you have also followed the Sage's Eastern Crusade like me, it has only been a few years, we can't fall the glory of the red flag of Daqin!"

"Look at the tens of thousands of Baekje people in front of us, how weak are they, to put it mildly, they are not as good as those homeless rebels at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the early years, fighting such an enemy, can't they win?"

"Destroy the Baekje Army and celebrate tonight in Sihyun City!" Xu Shiji said.

All the generals echoed in unison, shouting that Si Yu would celebrate tonight.

The battle begins.

The heralds rode their horses and galloped between the military formations, and the soldiers and horses were ordered to move.

The cannons brought down from the ship were pushed to the front by the artillerymen.

There are thousands of cannons, small cannons, and heavy crossbows.

Order.

Countless large and small stone bullets and crossbow guns roared out and fired overwhelmingly at the Baekje camp.

One phalanx after another, under the command of their respective officers, began to move forward, with stone bullets, fireballs, and crossbows whizzing overhead, and light cavalry slowly following the advance on either side.

The infantrymen, clad in armor and armed with weapons, marched in unison to the beat of military music and trumpets.

"Stay in formation!"

The low-ranking officers such as the head of the capital and the team are working hard to order their ranks.

The camps of Baekje trembled in the face of this thunderous attack.

Someone couldn't help but tremble.

"What are we going to do, we can't stand it." Someone shouted.

"You fucking guard Lao Tzu there, keep it."

"No retreat."

The Baekje officers shouted in despair, and they didn't know what to do.

When boulders, fireballs, crossbows, and guns finally rained down from the sky, the Baekje people finally collapsed, and many began to flee in all directions despite the orders of the officers.

The hundreds of pounds of boulders thrown by the Shenji General, the Shenji General can also project dozens of pounds of stone bullets, but although the more numerous Shenjun captains and others only project a few pounds of stone bullets, they can be sandwiched between those fire oil bombs filled with stone fat oil and egg-thick ballista guns, almost next to each other, and they will die if they touch it.

A 300-pound boulder bullet can even kill a group of people at once, smashing a big hole on the ground. If you're lucky enough to hit a hard spot, the boulder projectile can even roll up, causing even more damage.

Screaming, wailing.

The wooden fence of the camp, the trench outside the camp, and those antlers and horses, could not prevent these killing machines from heaven at all.

Under the cover of these long-range strikes, the Qin infantry approached the Baekje camp undisturbed.

"Move away from the horses, pull out the antlers, and build a trench bridge!"

The officers shouted.

The infantry were fronted by shieldmen, and those behind were moved forward, and those who pulled the antlers of the deer pulled the antlers, and some put the prepared trench bridges to the trenches.

"Shieldmen protect, crossbowmen release arrows!"

It is less than 100 steps away from the camp.

The Qin infantry crossbowmen began to bend their bows and release arrows, although behind the camp in front of them, the Baekje people were panicking, and not many people followed the officers' orders to fire arrows to intercept them.

But the officers still followed the standard tactical command order, and the bows and crossbows were fired in unison.

The people of Baekje screamed again.

"Quick, set up a ladder!"

The officers led the team to finally come under the fence, and looked at the sparse enemy behind them, all excited.

The sparse arrows were shot, but most of them were blocked by shields, and a few arrows were shot at the Qin army, and they were also blocked by the armor.

"Up, up, up!"

One by one, ladders were erected to the fence wall of the camp, and the jumping infantry rushed into the camp fearlessly stepping on the ladder with a pound of shields and a horizontal knife in one hand, and a helmet through armor.

Rear.

Xu Shiji stood on the watchtower car with satisfaction and watched the offensive on the front line, the offensive was very smooth, he stood in the rear for several miles, and he could clearly see that the Qin army was flooding one Baekje army camp after another like a tide.

The Qin cavalry was interspersed among the infantry and was responsible for intercepting the various enemy camps and preventing them from reinforcing each other.

The battle lasted until late afternoon.

Most of the mile-long camp built by Baekje's 50,000-strong army has been lost.

"Under the festival, the Baekje army in the rear is already fleeing and retreating!"

"Intensify the attack, let the cavalry bypass the pursuit, and don't let them escape into Si Yu City."

The abandonment and flight of the Baekje generals in the rear led to the rapid collapse of the Baekje army in the front, which was originally only the collapse of the front army, and the middle and rear armies were still intact, but as soon as they fled, the whole army collapsed.

Many Baekje troops directly abandoned the camp and left, and the Qin army pursued them all the way.

Twilight.

Xi Junmai, Wang Junkuo, Chai Shao and others have already taken advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the city of Guo outside Sixian. During the pursuit, Xi Junmai listened to Wang Junkuo's strategy, took hundreds of horsemen to change into Baekje military robes, and blended into the defeated and fleeing army. When the defeated army of Baekje only fled to Sihyun, they did not realize that hundreds of Qin people in disguise appeared around them.

Xi Junmai and others disguised the defeated army and successfully followed the defeat into Sihyun City, they first lurked near the city gate and pretended to rest, and when the follow-up pursuers of the Qin army arrived outside the city, then the Baekje generals guarding the gate hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed.

At this time, many defeated Baekje troops fled to the city, but the general ordered the city to be closed.

Xi Junmai, Wang Junkuo and others took the opportunity to attack, and began to slash and kill the defenders of the city gate without saying a word, and Chai Shao shot the guard with one arrow. The guards at the city gate thought it was a mutiny of the defeated army.

The city gate was closed for a while, and the Qin army immediately took advantage of the power to enter the city, so Guocheng outside Siyu was lost.
