With the surrender of Sha Yan, Li Yu surrendered an army of 40,000 to Silla, because the previous precautions against the surrender of the army would be repeated, so as not to cause chaos, so after the surrender of the surrender army, they confiscated their ordnance and armor as a civilian husband to carry grain and grass materials.

Now, even the northern gate of the mountains and rivers of Silla has been breached, and the Silla country is in danger, in Li Yu's opinion, it is difficult for any of the 40,000 surrendered troops to continue to be loyal to Silla, right?

It was time to drive the Silla army to attack the city, although along the way, there were heavy stone throwers to destroy the city defenses of the Silla people, so that the casualties of the soldiers were small, but Li Yu did not want to let the lives of his soldiers be in vain in the siege.

For this reason, Li Yu did not order the collection of the weapons and armor of the Shalu army, and also distributed their original weapons and armor to the 10,000 Dongyi troops who had been playing the role of people.

Three days later, Li Yu led 40,000 Tang troops and 20,000 Silla troops to the fortress of Namhansan, which was only a few dozen miles southeast of North Hansan Fortress.

Li Yu pointed to the Nanhan Mountain City in front of him, and shouted at the Silla generals and troops: "Now is the time for you to show your loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, take Nanhan Mountain, break the national plain, Jincheng, and punish Jin Famin who disobeys the king, you are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, officials, wealthy women, you have everything......"

In addition to the bamboo decree, Ah Fan Datu, Sha Lu, Park Zhengwen and others looked excited, this is a good moment to show loyalty to His Royal Highness King Yan, and immediately responded to Li Yu's call respectfully and vigorously, encouraging his subordinates to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and punish the rebellious ministers and thieves for the Tang Dynasty. Sha Yu even arched his hands and swore: "If the last general Nuo can't break the Namhan Mountain, he will die under the Namhan Mountain Fortress to repay His Highness for his love." ”

Ah Fan Datu and Pu Zheng asked if they were going to do it now, and scolded Sha Lu for being shameless in their hearts, and they all asked for war and swore an oath, and there was a posture that was more loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the King of Yan verbally.

Watching the Silla generals play tricks, Xue Ne, Li Shangdan and other generals secretly sneered, slandering these Silla people is really shameless, His Royal Highness gave a pole and climbed up, as if there was no one in our army.

Zhang Shi pursed his lips with disdain, and sneered in an undisguised low voice: "A group of sycophants who don't know their home and country, if they can't break through Nanhan Mountain in the future, they will ask His Highness for their lives and personally behead you." ”

Regardless of whether Ah Yu Datu, Park Zheng asked and others whether they were sincere, Li Yu was very satisfied with the reaction of the surrendered army, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, when you wait for the siege of the city, I will order the stone thrower to assist you, and I will wait for your good news here." ”

The 20,000 Silla troops who were excited, under the leadership of the four generals Ah Cha Dae-tu, Sha Yu, Park Jeong-wen, and Zhu Ji, surrounded Namhansan Fortress according to Li Yu's battle plan. Behind them was the 40,000 Tang army responsible for pressing the formation, and once these surrendered troops had a rout or rebellion, it would be unwelcome.

Li Yu led 20,000 Chinese troops to sit at the north gate of Namhanseong, climbed the high platform, and looked at the solemn Namhanshan Fortress from afar.

The defenders in the city are only 5,000 people, how can they resist the attack of my 60,000 soldiers and horses? The guards just dragged the people of the city to accompany him for his loyalty, but Li Yu didn't respect him, but just laughed at him for using his mantis arm as a car.

Li Yu's right hand, which decided to live and die tens of thousands of people, waved down lightly, and the command flag immediately waved forward, dozens of war drums sounded in unison, and dozens of stone throwers lined up outside the city threw stone bullets and smashed them into the city.

In the screams and cries of the defenders on the city, Sha Lu, who was in charge of attacking the north gate, drew his sword and roared, and led more than 6,000 people to carry the ladder and launch an attack using the most primitive ant-attached siege method. Outside the east gate, Ah Fan Datu, outside the west gate, and Park Zhengwen outside the south gate all attacked under the orders of the Tang army.

In this battle, Li Yu did not use the siege of three and missing one, which made Li Yesi and other generals wonder, didn't he force the defenders in the city to rely on the city to fight to the death?

Li Yu smiled, "Anyway, it is the Silla army that is responsible for the siege, 20,000 people, and no matter how tenacious the defenders are, they are only 5,000, and they will always break through." We'll just sit here and watch them kill each other. Just as Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty said in a letter to Zang Zhen, the defender of Xuyi City, during his southern expedition: The soldiers I sent out are all Ding Lingren, Han people, Di people, and Qiang people, all of whom are not Xianbei people, and their death in battle is equivalent to removing the scourge for me, so let's let go of the war. ”

As the first battle after the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, Sha Lu, Ah Fan Datu, and Park Zhengwen led the army to fight extremely bravely, completely ignoring the life and death of the soldiers, and those who retreated slightly did not need to press the Tang army to do it, they themselves sent a team to execute on the spot.

Under the threat of the death of their own generals, the Silla army braved the arrows and rolling stones of the defenders, carried the rudimentary ladders up the city wall in waves, and then people continued to fall from the ladders like dumplings, killed or injured, and howled miserably. Instead of caring for the wounded, their companions who flocked to the city climbed the ladder and stormed the city wall in the face of the defenders' attacks.

Seeing his own soldiers attacking the city wall, Sha Lu, who was commanding under the city, was overjoyed, waved a long knife stained with blood in his hand, and led the most elite more than 1,000 personal soldiers to attack, intending to take the north gate in one fell swoop.

Behind Sha Lu were hundreds of retreating tribes who were personally led by him to kill them.

With a bang, the heavy north gate slowly opened, and the thousands of Silla troops who were crowded outside the city immediately gave up climbing the ladder and poured into the city from the hole in the city gate, tearing together with the remnants of the defenders in the city.

Look at Sha Yan to break through the north gate, Li Yu ordered Xue Ne and Cheng Wuzhong to lead the army into the city to chase and kill the remnants of the enemy, and then the news came that the east gate and the south gate were broken, but the bamboo decree of attacking the west gate could not break the city for a long time.

Park Jeong-asked that this kind of nameless young general can break the city, and he has led the army to fight for more than ten years, and the bamboo decree that is quite famous in the Silla country cannot be broken?

Li Yu's eyes turned cold all of a sudden, it seems that Zhu Zhi still misses Silla a lot, and he really can't keep him.

The defenders of Namhansan Fortress were completely annihilated in the city half an hour after the north gate was broken, and the defenders were cut off by Sha Yu and presented to Li Yu for merit.

In view of his bravery in this battle, he took the lead in breaking through the city gate and made the first contribution, Li Yu smiled and personally rewarded Sha Yu with one hundred taels of gold, and a quarter of the city rewarded him and his subordinates for looting, without having to hand over the looting proceeds.

After Sha Yu thanked the weeping thanksgiving, he led his subordinates straight to the city that Li Yu had allocated to him to loot. To the rest of the city, Li Yu ordered Ah Fan to vomit and Park Zhengwen to lead the army to plunder, and seventy percent of the proceeds were handed over and distributed to the Tang army soldiers.

Li Yu took this opportunity to unmistakably tell the Silla generals that since they surrendered, they had to dedicate their lives wholeheartedly to the Tang Dynasty. That bamboo purpose is a lesson from the past.

A group of Silla generals were suddenly frightened, their faces were pale, and they hurriedly knelt in front of Li Yu to express their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and swore to the sky: "Swear to follow His Royal Highness King Yan to the death, and there is no second ......heart."

Li Yu didn't care much about the loyalty of the generals, as long as the strength in his hands was enough to suppress them, he was not afraid of whether they were loyal or not, because they couldn't bear the price of having two hearts.

In order to ensure the safety of the back road, Li Yu ordered Xue Ne to lead 6,000 troops along the tributaries of the north of Hansan River to go upstream, and capture Gapyeong and Langcheon counties along the way, while he led the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses and Silla troops to sweep the two counties of Namcheon and Pyeongwon, which led to the fortress of Guwon ten days later.

The defenders of Guwon Castle were greatly frightened and sent three groups of messengers to Jincheng to ask for help, while the 30,000 Silla reinforcements who had gone north to reinforce were trudging through the mountains between Jincheng and Guowon Castle under the command of Kim Yuxin.
