Chapter 354: Hundred States in the City
Jin Bisu and a series of civil and military ministers who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty were either captured or killed tonight, Jin Bisu's generals opened the west gate, the Tang army entered the city and was approaching the palace, and the Tang army outside the north gate also attacked, Wen Ying faced the attack of tens of thousands of Tang troops outside the city like sitting in an ice cave.
The war drums of the Tang army under the city were like thunder, torches were everywhere, and the majestic morale overwhelmed the city guards.
Looking at the Tang army dressed in Xuanjia and Xuanyi, pushing the heavy siege towers and battering rams, shouting the slogan of shaking the sky, slowly approaching the city wall, Wen Ying's brother Wen Xun supported the female wall and supported his trembling body to stay calm.
After defending the city for more than a month, in the face of the continuous attack of the Tang army, the arrows in the city were exhausted, and the wood and stones that began to demolish the houses in the city were used as rolling wood and stones, and the defenders of the north gate were left with more than 2,000 remains.
Wen Xun knew that no matter whether the Tang Army broke through the West Gate or not, the North Gate could not be defended no matter what, and he kept shouting in his heart, surrender, persuade the eldest brother to surrender, and if he does not surrender, he will hold the eldest brother hostage to surrender.
"Big brother, the Tang army hasn't attacked the city yet, let's surrender, right?"
Wen Xun looked at the eldest brother beside him, and said with a nervous expression, his eyes signaling the relatives who gradually surrounded him.
Wen Ying, who was expressionless, clenched her fists, finally let go, and said abruptly: "For my brother to know that you have been secretly communicating with Tang Jun, you can send someone out of the city to negotiate with Tang Jun about the friendship of the city!" ”
When Wen Xun heard this, he was shocked and happy, it seemed that the eldest brother was not willing to bury Silla, and said with a little guilt: "Big brother, I, I...... I didn't want to hide it from you, but I ......"
"There is only one lonely city left in Silla, and the defeat is only in the mist, each finding a way to survive, for the brother and you are the same, what is the guilt? Our brothers are guarding the north gate and are worthy of the king now. Okay, you send someone out of the city to negotiate surrender with the commander of the Tang Army. ”
"Yes"
Wen Xun bowed to his eldest brother gratefully, and did not send anyone to show his sincerity, and went out of the city in person to the front of the Tang army.
Responsible for attacking the north gate was the Kunpeng Wei Xun general Chen Xuan and Dongyi Right Army Pu Zhengwen Division, seeing the soldiers and horses advancing to the city wall seven zhang, the city gate opened and one person went out of the city, and the city gate was closed again.
The people who left the city shouted loudly in Chinese: "I am Wen Xun, the deputy general of the north gate of Jincheng, and I ask to see Chen Xuan, the general of Kunpeng Weiyun of the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, to discuss the donation of the city by my two brothers." ”
"Wenxun?" Chen Xuan smiled in surprise, "I have been talking to a certain person for half a month, but I haven't seen his movements, and I think it's just a delaying tactic." I don't know if the West Gate City is broken, and it is really down when I am pressing? ”
"General Chen, if you don't let me go and test it, if you don't open the door and sacrifice the city immediately, I will behead him." Dongyi's right army general Pu Zheng asked for orders.
"No need, bring him to Ben."
"Whoa"
……
Wen Xun was brought to Chen Xuan and knelt down in front of Chen Xuan, his buttocks rose high, his head fell on the cold ground, and he said in a pleading tone: "Wen Xun, the general of the defeated army, has seen General Chen, and I am willing to surrender to the north gate and 2,000 soldiers to surrender to Tang, and I ask General Chen to take over." ”
"You are willing to surrender, but you don't let someone see the sincerity." Chen Xuan was a little dissatisfied and pointed to the guards of the city who were still holding soldiers and shouted: "Since you want to surrender, quickly order you to put down your weapons and go out of the city to kneel to greet you." ”
"Obey the order, and the subordinates will immediately return to the city to summon the soldiers of the North Gate to do what General Chen requested." Wen Xun was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and prayed.
"Go back, but I'll give you a quarter of an hour, and after a moment I'll attack the city immediately."
Chen Xuan sneered again and again, Wen Xun kowtowed like garlic and thanked him, and then ran back to the city, telling his eldest brother Wen Ying about Chen Xuan's request.
Although it is a bit too much to go out of the city and kneel to greet him, putting down his weapon and repenting will make him fall into a fish under the knife. But seeing that the soldiers had no heart to fight, and looked at him with hopeful eyes, Wen Ying smiled, "Put down your weapons and go out of the city to kneel to welcome the Tang Heavenly Soldiers." ”
Wen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxious hearts of the soldiers at the head of the city were excited.
As a soldier, who is not kneeling? More than 2,000 physically and mentally exhausted soldiers rushed to pile up weapons and armor into several hills, opened the north gate, and under the leadership of Wen Ying, Wen Xun and other generals, knelt in two pieces outside the city.
After Chen Xuan sent a team of sentry cavalry to enter the city first to inspect and make sure that the Silla army had not cheated, he immediately sent soldiers and horses to quickly seize the city head and city gate, and then led a large group of men and horses into the north gate.
At present, Jincheng has not all fallen, and Yu Chengzhi has attacked the city one step ahead of himself, which will definitely storm the palace. In order to obtain greater military merits, Chen Xuan had to leave 1,000 Kunpeng guards to guard the north gate, and watch over the more than 2,000 troops led by Wen Ying and Wen Xun.
As for driving more than 2,000 troops to attack the Silla army? Chen Xuan, who has always sought stability, is not brain-dead enough to use the newly attached soldiers to fight their old master, although it is unlikely that they will surrender and rebel, but what if?
Let these soldiers be unarmed, sit honestly in the place of detention, and wait for my Tang Heavenly Soldiers to capture the entire Golden City, and contribute to the merits of the new lord of Silla, His Royal Highness King Yan of the Tang Dynasty!
Yu Chengzhi led the army from the west gate to follow the defeated army to attack the Silla palace in the city, and the fierceness of the offensive made Jin Famin mobilize the 3,000 reserves in the city to be unable to stop, and gradually pressed into the palace, and the generals who led the army to resist sent people into the palace several times to ask for help.
Jin Famin never thought about it, and tried his best to transfer the palace guards to arrest and kill people in the middle of the night, and sent Jin Dazhong to take over the West Gate and eradicate Jin Bisu's cronies, but he didn't think that he would let Jin Bisu's cronies take the opportunity to open the West Gate and lead the Tang army into the city.
"Waste, waste, it's a bunch of waste that doesn't do enough and has more than enough to lose. Kim Dae-jung misunderstood me ......"
Jin Famin roared constantly in the main hall, so frightened that the attendants on the left and right knelt on the ground and trembled, for fear that when the lord was ruined and the country was ruined, he would bury them with him.
"Come on, go to the prison and kill all the thieves of Jin Bisu and the others, and summon Jin Luoshui to come."
Jin Luoshui was summoned to enter the palace to see the king who was still calmly holding Sun Tzu's study of the art of war before, and in front of him was the last monarch who was sad and indignant and helpless.
"There are 3,000 guards in the palace, all of whom are selected elite and loyal warriors, and you can transfer 1,500 people from them to support Park Yongshu, drive the Tang army out of the city, and recapture the West Gate."
Under Jin Famin's devouring gaze, Jin Luoshui responded in a deep voice: "The last general is ordered!" ”
After leading the troops out of the palace, Kim Nak-su, who had long been disappointed in Silla's hopes, did not rush to the battlefield, but gathered his henchmen to discuss it secretly before leading the army to a few streets that had long been reduced to battlefields.
Park Yongshu, who was struggling to resist the attack of the Tang army, cried with joy when he saw Jin Luoshui leading the palace guards to support, and he was not tearing up in the battlefield, he had to rush up to give Jin Luoshui a grateful hug.
"Silla's sons and daughters, the time has come to sacrifice their lives for the country, expel Tang Yi and recover the ...... of Silla" Jin Luoshui shouted with sorrow at the soldiers under his command, a long knife pointed, a thousand well-equipped, awe-inspiring slaughter, with a generous and tragic momentum of the soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and the Tang army was strangled together, and immediately a piece of flesh and blood flew sideways.
Jin Luoshui took five hundred personal soldiers to stop in the name of supervising the war reserve, watching the battlefield from a distance, but he really watched every move of the palace.
In the quiet of the night, there was a sudden sound of tearing and killing that shook the heavens and the earth, which had already awakened the people in the golden city.
After sending the slaves out to find out the news that the Tang army had invaded from the West Gate, Chen Chun, the prime minister of Silla, panicked and kept nagging: "The city is broken, what can I do?" ”
"That's right, that's right, surrender."
Chen Chun, who had been in his fifties, suddenly woke up, of course, he surrendered early at this moment, why did he stay on the broken ship of Silla?
Surrender can only save his own life, and he has to make meritorious contributions, so that he can treat himself and the Chen family differently after the new master enters the city.
The treacherous and cunning Chen Chunqi sent trusted domestic slaves to quietly contact many civil and military ministers in the court who were willing to surrender but never showed them to outsiders, preparing to show the loyalty of the old Silla ministers to the Tang army when the Tang army occupied the city and the Tang Yan King entered the city.
Jin Rentai, the guard of the east gate, couldn't resist Zhang Shi's crazy attack, and learned at the critical moment that Wen Ying and Wen Xun brothers surrendered at the north gate, and the Tang army approached the palace from the north gate. The king sent Jin Luoshui to transfer half of the palace guards to support Park Yongshu and resist the Tang army attacking by Ximen. The city was stopped by no available force except for the 1,500 men who guarded the palace.
"It's over, Silla is over......"
Jin Rentai said with a panicked expression, looked at the Tang army outside the city who was finally repulsed, and hurriedly said: "Quickly send someone out of the city to inform the general of the kingdom, I am willing to lead the army to surrender." ”
