Chapter 313: South Advance Three

Tiancun led the army to surrender, and except for Zhang Shi's depressed expression, everyone in the Tang army was overjoyed, after all, there were no eyes on the battlefield, and no one knew if they would return to the Western Heaven Elysium in the next battle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yu summoned Tiancun and other Silla generals, and Haosheng appeased him. For them to know the affairs and know the overall situation, Li Yu did not hesitate to reward, one hundred taels of gold, a beautiful woman of Silla, promised to the official, and he could take office after the war was over.

Since the Silla army was as high as 10,000, Li Yu would not be at ease to continue to be led by Tiancun, in case he regretted one day and led the army to make a rebellion, then Li Yu would have to be busy.

For this reason, Li Yu divided the 10,000 Silla army into two parts, the left and right, and gave the Dongyi army the name of the left and right armies. In addition to the Dongyi Left Army, which was still under the command of Tiancun, the Dongyi Right Army selected one of the Silla generals who was most active in surrendering and instigated the soldiers to kill the three generals who would rather die than surrender.

In view of the fact that the Silla army had just surrendered and to prevent its possible recurrence, Li Yu ordered that all the weapons and armor of the Silla army be taken away, and the soldiers were temporarily used as military servants.

There are 30,000 reinforcements from Silla, but only 10,000 have been forced to land at present, and 20,000 horses are stationed in Tagu Castle under the command of Ajan Datu. In addition to this, the Silla South Route Army was still confronting Li Shangdan in the valley south of Jaeyeongwon.

Li Yu, who had his hands free, ordered that Li Shangdan command his headquarters, in addition to the White Tiger Guard, and the Kunpengwei, Dangdi Army, and Flying Tiger Army were also under his command, to launch a counteroffensive against the Silla South Route Army, and all of them must be left behind.

Who knows, Li Yu's military order has not yet been delivered, Chen Xuan sent an envoy to report that the Silla South Route Army suddenly retreated, and Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang were leading the army to pursue, and asked his troops whether Kun Pengwei and Dangdi's army were involved in the pursuit?

It seems that the Silla Southern Route Army ran away after learning the news of Jin Yuanshu's annihilation with the whole army, and Li Yu's plan to leave it all in the mountains south of the Jaeyeong Plain ended in vain.

For Chen Xuan, at such an urgent moment when the military situation was so urgent, he also sent an envoy to ask whether to pursue? Li Yu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, the Silla army retreated, and he should lead the army to pursue with Li Shangdan. Li Shangdan and Liu Shijiang only had 6,000 soldiers and horses, what if they were killed by Silla on the way to the pursuit, and the enemy was defeated?

Li Yu revised the original military order and wrote a sternly worded edict, reprimanding Chen Xuan for not understanding the ability to respond to emergencies and asking for orders in everything, can this battle be fought? The rate army joined up with Li Shangdan and annihilated the Silla South Route Army.

"I hope that the Yellow Sea Fleet can intercept the retreating Silla army at the Yeesung River and block it on the west bank of the Yeesung River. Nuo let him escape back, and 20,000 soldiers and horses re-entered the fortified city in the area of the mountains and rivers of New Luohan, and it would be a little difficult to fight again. Li Yu looked at the blue sky and sighed.

The 20,000 Silla troops in Tagu Castle also need to catch up with them before they learn that Kim Won-su has been annihilated and Tiancun has surrendered, otherwise he will let Ah Zhai Datu lead his army to retreat, and it will be difficult to fight the Silla fortresses on the east bank of the Imjin River.

Zhang Shi is a pioneer and a cavalry general who is good at fighting. Li Yu ordered him to be the main general, Li Wenbai as the deputy, commanded the Yanyun Iron Cavalry Right Guard Army and the Beihai Iron Cavalry Right Guard Army as the vanguard of the army, and immediately marched east to intercept the Ah Yu Datu Department in Duogu City with the advantage of the cavalry's rapid attack, and Li Yu personally led the remaining 45,000 soldiers and horses to follow.

……

When he learned that Jin Yuanshu's entire army was attacked by the Tang army and burned to death in the camp, the commanders of the Silla South Route Army, Pin Ri and Wen Zhong, opened their eyes wide and did not believe it. After reacting, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat quickly, so as not to be annihilated by the Tang army.

In order to be able to retreat to the nearest ** city as soon as possible and get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army, the Silla South Route Army marched all the way and ran sixty miles in one day. On the third day, we will go to Haigu City, and we will reach the Licheng River for another forty miles to the east, and across the river is Dobby City, so that we can get rid of the Tang army that has been chasing closely.

Nuo is the western naval division was not destroyed by the Tang army, and Pinri could lead the army to the south for 20 miles, and cross the sea by boat to the ** city on the south bank of the Hanshan River.

"Report, general, the Tang army is less than ten miles away from our army."

Wen Zhong hated it and scolded, "Li Shangdan, this person is really hateful, and he has not given up after chasing our army for more than 200 miles. General Pin, our army still has more than 16,000 troops, and the pursuing Tang army is only 5,000 or 6,000 men. In my opinion, our army will temporarily rest in Haigu City to rest and wait for work, and when the Tang army chases after him, he will go out of the city to give him a head-on attack and annihilate him here. ”

Wen Zhong's suggestion was approved by many generals, and Pin Riwen was moved, so he agreed to this intention and ordered the whole army to collect pigs, cattle and other domestic animals in Haigu City, slaughter them and eat a good meal, and wait for the Tang army to send them to the door.

The officers and men of the White Tiger Guard and the Flying Tiger Army gasped and ran eastward, praying in their hearts that the Silla Army would not be on the run, and that they would stop and fight with us. This is the third day that they have pursued the Silla army, and if they can't catch up, they will probably have to run and die on the road.

Liu Shijiang rode his horse to Li Shangdan's side and said: "Brother Li, the soldiers have not had a good rest for two days and three nights, and if they continue to chase like this, before they catch up with the Silla army, our army will be exhausted, so let's rest for two hours for the time being." ”

Li Shangdan opened a pair of bloodshot eyes and smiled bitterly: "I also want to rest, but if I don't annihilate the Silla army, I can't feel at ease." ”

Li Shangdan said indignantly: "Didn't Your Highness appoint him as a pioneer because he had a beautiful record in the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion because of his beautiful achievements, above us?" Now, Hei Tooth Changzhi, the Baekje general, has won two great victories outside Seoul, destroying 20,000 enemies, and the credit is so great that he is about to become the head of all the generals. You and I promise not to take advantage of the good opportunity of the Silla South Route Army to flee south to annihilate it, and make a great contribution that is no less than the black tooth Changzhi, won't I be despised by outsiders and Anton will not care? ”

Liu Shijiang thought silently, Brother Li was still angry about His Royal Highness's previous appointment of Black Tooth Changzhi as the pioneer to replace him, and intended to prove that he was not under Black Tooth Chang through this battle.

"But if you chase it any longer, even if you catch up, the soldiers will not be able to fight, and Brother Li will be very serious."

Li Shangdan was silent for a moment and replied, "Just listen to the words of the virtuous brother, the whole army will rest for an hour for the time being, the leading soldiers will bury the pot and cook, and the soldiers will seize the time to rest." ”

At this time, the sentry horse who followed closely behind the Silla army came to report: "General Li and General Liu, after the Silla army entered Haegu City, the city gates were closed, and there was no sign of running east out of the city. ”

"In the past few days, although the officers and men of our army have been exhausted physically and mentally after the pursuit, the speed of the Silla army's retreat is not slow at all. It seems that the Silla army is currently in the same situation as our army, and it is in urgent need of a stop and rest. Li Shangdan touched his chin and speculated with his long beard.

Liu Shijiang was overjoyed, "In this way, our army can rest for a while longer, recuperate and recuperate, and then go to Haigu City to fight a decisive battle." ”
