Chapter 328: Danger as an Egg Pill
In the past month, Jin Famin in the palace of Jincheng can be said to be restless, what he never expected was that Jin Yuanshu's 80,000 troops in the north were wiped out, and what was even more hateful was that the 30,000 reinforcements he had cobbled together surrendered without a fight?
Jin Famin was furious and ordered to hunt down Ah Fan Datu's relatives, only to find out that the person had already been secretly taken away when Ah Fan Datu led his army north. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Jin Famin was so angry, it turned out that Ah Fan vomited and surrendered to Tang because he had premeditated, deliberately sent his troops north to reinforce him, and also admonished himself to lead the army.
Ah Fan Datu not only surrendered the Tang army, but also became the vanguard of the Tang army's southward attack, deceived the city to persuade several cities to surrender, and the defense line of the Lulu River was then shattered. The Nofei Seven Castle Guardian Xiao Shou Rudong saw through his trick and told Jincheng about the great changes that had taken place in the north, and Kim Famin could not even imagine how dangerous the situation in Silla would be.
But as the Tang army successively captured the cities around the Luhe River and the Hanshan River such as Qizhong, Ada, Shixian, **, and Maixiao, and forced the Northern Hanshan City, Jin Famin couldn't sit still.
There are only more than 20,000 defenders from Bukhan Mountain to Guwon City, and they are still guarding the three important towns of Bukhan Mountain, Namhan Mountain, and Guwon Mountain, which will be difficult to resist the attack of the Tang army.
In a hurry, Jin Famin hurriedly transferred his troops to defend against Tang Kou in the eastern coastal counties of Jincheng, Yichang and other eastern coastal counties, and Jin Yuxin's return army went north to reinforce him.
In addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses still left to defend on the eastern coast, Jin Yuxin led 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command and the 30,000 soldiers and horses on the southern coast to defend Tang Kou, and 10,000 soldiers and horses from the north marched to reinforce North Hansan Fortress.
What I never thought about was that as soon as Jin Yuxin led the army to the city of Odudo to join the 10,000 reinforcements in the south, it was reported that the defender of the North Han Mountain, Sha Yan, presented the city to the Tang army, and then the South Han Mountain was lost, and the two counties of Nanchuan and Pingyuan were lost, and the Tang army was in the original city of the country.
In addition to this, the situation along the northeast, southwest and southeast coasts has changed dramatically.
The northeastern counties were attacked by more than 10,000 Tang troops, and nearly 20 cities in nine counties, including Axexiang, Chimu, Companies, Quanjing, Xiuxiang, and Dahu, were either broken or surrendered within a month, and the Tang army landed in Jialuo County with troops.
In the old land of Baekje in the southwest, the remnants of the Tang Woongjin Governor's Office, under the leadership of Governor Liu Inyuan, took advantage of the destruction of the 20,000 Silla Army to the north to launch a counteroffensive, and won all four battles, with more than 10,000 Silla Army casualties. Not only did they lose all the cities they occupied when they launched an attack on the Tang army, but they also lost the areas of Sapan, Gusi'er Prefecture and Guidan and Paseo in the northern part of Fensa Prefecture that they had captured from the Tang army two years earlier, and the Silla army retreated to the north-central states of Baekje, such as Jinmazhu, Xiongjin, and Sibi.
Tang Kou on the southeast coast took the occupied South China Sea and Geoje Island as their bases, relied on their ships and soldiers to land and plunder, burned dozens of miles along the coast and rivers, and destroyed eight coastal counties within a month, killing and wounding more than 7,000 Silla troops, so that Kim Famin wanted to transfer more troops from the coast to the north, but he couldn't.
"Report, the big horn is dry: The Tang army has gone down to the original city of the country, and our army is forced to retreat to Shangzhou. The minister heard that the Tang army had another way of troops and horses to capture the northeastern counties, and was moving south along the east coast. Otherwise, the Tang army will advance in tandem, and Jincheng will be in danger and Silla will be in danger! ”
Jin Famin sat on the throne decadently, the palace Chinese Wu was shocked, as the small capital of the country won the fall, the northern counties fell to a foregone conclusion, the Silla territory lost nearly half, and it was even more difficult to resist the Tang army of the tiger and wolf army.
The Tang army from Guoyuan City still has too many horns to lead an army of 30,000 to resist, but the Tang army going south along the east coast will definitely not be able to resist only by relying on the soldiers of the counties and counties along the way.
The ministers in the palace asked Jin Famin to select a good general to lead a strong army to resist the north as soon as possible, but there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses left around Jincheng, 10,000 to defend Jincheng, and 10,000 coastal defenses could go ashore at any time to capture Tang Kou, and there was no extra army to adjust.
Jin Yuan reported the loss of 80,000 soldiers, and the evil consequences of 30,000 soldiers and horses surrendering without a fight were revealed at once.
Jin Famin had no choice but to follow what Jin Yuxin said in the recital, and ordered the conscription of young and strong men from all over the country as soldiers, and it was estimated that 40,000 to 70,000 people could be recruited. First of all, 10,000 were collected from the surrounding counties of Jincheng, and half of the recruits were transferred to the 5,000 elite soldiers defending on the east coast of Jincheng, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness with half of the elite soldiers and half of the recruits.
It is now the golden autumn, and it is the busy season of the annual grain harvest. A year's grain production is related to a country's national fortunes, and Silla's recruitment of a large number of young and strong men into the army at this time will inevitably lead to a shortage of rural labor, which will affect agriculture, and then affect this year's tax revenue, resulting in a shortage of food in the coming year.
This move is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, and since the beginning of the war, Silla has lost more than half of its elite labor force by losing tens of thousands of soldiers.
Some ministers in the country were worried: "Even if the Tang army is repulsed, Silla will be greatly damaged, and for decades it can only beg for the grace of the Tang State to protect the temple and society." ”
……
In the months since Tang and Sin started the war, Silla has suffered a series of fiascos, nearly half of the land has been lost, and the country is in danger.
According to the news from the Silla army, the Tang army conquered the city of Guoyuan, and the Tang general Xue Ne led his troops to conquer Gapyeong and Langchuan counties, broke the city of Niushou, and slaughtered it. King Yan of Tang sent his army to continue to go up the Hanshan River, attacking the counties along the way, and the Taijiao Ganjin Yuxin was afraid to fight, so he retreated to Shangzhou.
In January, the news of Silla's successive defeats kept coming, which made An Shun's nerves in a high state of tension at all times, and he was almost shocked three times a day, and he didn't know when the Tang army would take Jinma Zhu and take his head.
The tabloid Germans, whose capital was built in Jinmazhu, were on the front line of the confrontation with the Tang army of the Kumajin Prefecture across the river, and once the Silla army stationed here did not go well, the soldiers and horses under the command of An Shun would be difficult to resist, and the destruction of the country would be imminent.
Jinmazhu is located in the middle of a coastal plain in the old land of Baekje, although there is a river in the south, it is not a natural danger, and it cannot stop the Tang army, and there are no dangerous mountains and mountains around, it is simply a city with no sense of security. What's more, there are few major generals and hundreds of elite Tang soldiers who are likely to destroy the country.
When Silla was defeated from Seoul, there were only 30,000 Goguryeo people who followed Ansun, but then a number of Goguryeo people fled one after another, increasing to 50,000 and more than 5,000 soldiers. However, when Jin Yuan reported the northern expedition, in order to win the hearts of the Goguryeo people under the rule of the Tang State, he needed to raise the banner of Anshun, so he recruited 3,000 soldiers from Bao Germany to go north with him, and they were destroyed on the hill east of Seoul.
An Shun, who learned the news, almost gritted his teeth and scolded Jin Yuanshu's ancestors for eight generations, and now there are only 2,000 soldiers, and he is on the front line of confrontation with the Tang army, and the future is bleak.
As one of the culprits of the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo two years ago, An Shun did not think that King Tang Yan, who treated the rebels harshly, would spare him. Wasn't Gao Yanwu, who was defeated and captured in the domestic city, reduced to a slave laborer and died of working day and night, and his female family members were thrown into the Chunxiang Building in Pyongyang for the pastime of the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protector.
After thinking about it, he had to make a plan to leave this place as soon as possible, send people to collect ships to reserve grain and grass, and once the Silla army was defeated, he would lead his people to the sea and go south to the Japanese country. It was impossible to have enough ships to take away 50,000 people, An Shun consulted with his uncle An Feng and his courtier Dawen to prepare enough ships for 1,000 people, and when the country was irretrievable, he had to abandon the people and go to sea.
On the other side of the Jinma Zhunan River, 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion were camped three miles away from the riverbank.
