Li Xiao currently has 30,000 soldiers, but these 30,000 troops belong to the Sixteen Assassins of the Five Governors. As the deputy governor, Li Xiao only had 6,000 soldiers in his hands. 3,000 Tang troops, 3,000 Baiji troops, this little soldier also had to be responsible for guarding the hundreds of miles from the mouth of the Baijiang River to the city of Si Xuan.

The soldiers were still scattered, and this was the situation of the generals who were guarding Baekje at this time.

Liu Boying only had 6,000 soldiers in his hands, and he had to defend various states, and he was besieged for a long time, and he only had 1,000 soldiers under his command. There were no more than 100 Tang soldiers in the pro-guard department, and the remaining 900 were all Xiangyong recruited in Baekje.

Jiuchi is just a small border city, and the city is small and the walls are low.

He came here to make his rounds, but he was surrounded by a rebellion by the Baekje people. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in the battlefield, and relying on a small city and a thousand troops, he was able to repel several attacks by the Baekje people.

Standing at the head of the city, Liu Boying was gasping with his sword, he could no longer see the direction in the distance, countless Baekje rebels and Japanese troops stirred up huge smoke and dust, and black smoke rose from the forts of Tunzhuang Weibao outside the city for a long time.

They are already surrounded by the tide of rebels.

Fighting broke out in some places, and it is estimated that the village warriors of Tuntian were guarding their villages and fields and fighting the Baekje rebels. There are also some places where there is no fighting at all, and perhaps those Baekje villagers surrendered directly.

At this time, Jiuchi City was already surrounded by regiments, and Liu Boying couldn't even break through if he wanted to.

"I hope I can come and report to the festival marshal!"

In the past, Liu Boying looked down on Li Xiao very much, thinking that he was a young countryman but was a festival marshal in Baekje, which was like child's play, but at this time, he hoped that Li Xiao could come to the rescue.

remembered that Li Xiao had outwitted Siyu City, and the last glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Don't worry, the rebels have not seen the Goguryeo banner armor, as long as the Goguryeo people do not go south, we still have a glimmer of life."

Now there are only Baekje rebels and Japanese soldiers and horses outside the city, and there are no Goguryeo people, which is the only good news. This place is very close to Goguryeo, and once the Goguryeo people no longer care about the Tang Dynasty and send troops south, then they will have no chance to escape.

Under the city.

The Japanese general Sakai Binglang squinted at Jiuchi City, a small city, but it stubbornly blocked several attacks by their more than 30,000 people.

"General Fuxin, it seems that the Tang people do have a few hits." He praised the Tang general, but he spoke sarcastically, mocking the uselessness of the Baekje people.

Ghost Room Fushin was also a little annoyed, a small city, it hadn't been fought for so long. Originally, everything was in his calculations, and he knew that Liu Boying, who was guarding the northern part of Baekje, was going to go out of the city to inspect. So he has been waiting for this day, and when Liu Boying left the stronger Mahan City and arrived at the small Jiuchi City, he led the crowd to rise up and surrounded Liu Boying.

Originally, he wanted to annihilate Liu Boying in one fell swoop here, win the first battle, strengthen the momentum of the Baekje Restoration Army, and at the same time capture and kill a general of the Tang Army, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the northern cities, so that Baekje can recover the northern border.

Who would have thought that this Liu Boying would be so capable of fighting.

What was even more unexpected was that the Baekje soldiers under Liu Boying had been helping him. He always thought that if they raised the banner of recovering the country, wouldn't those Baekje villagers under the Tang people immediately turn against him?

"General Sasai, we soldiers were all gathered in a hurry, none of us were soldiers in the past, we didn't have much training, and we really didn't have much experience in siege." "If we don't take this city immediately, then we can carry out a plan that we want to take the Tang people by surprise." You can't give the Tang people a chance to react, you must be fast. I also ask Shogun Sasai to help us take the castle. ”

Sakai Binglang squinted and smiled, but did not speak.

"General Sasai, if you take this city, all the gold and silver in the city will be yours."

"Can we help?" Sakai smiled, "If you think you can't take this city, it's okay to ask us to make a move, but the conditions have to be determined by me, and if you capture this city, all the gold, silver, treasure, food, and women in the city will be owned by our army, how about it?" ”

Onimurofu secretly annoyed the greed of the Japanese people, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

······

Xiongjin, Baijiang Fort.

Li Xiao convened the generals in the army to discuss the matter, and Liu Jun informed the generals of the military situation.

In the hall, under Li Xiao, Zhao Zhiman, Xue Chuyu, Cheng Boxian, Liu Jun, Wang Fangyi, Qin Xiong, and Liu Wen are all there, and the nine brothers who were in the prison of Dali Temple in Chang'an are all here, except for Li Yuanfang, who is still in Chang'an, the other eight brothers are gathered here at this moment.

Zhao Zhiman has been following Li Xiao's side, and he is the commander of his yaqian capital, and Liu Jun was originally the commander of Tamluo County to recuperate from his injuries in the rear, and now he has been promoted to the assassin of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion. In addition, Wang Fangyi had been fighting under Su Lie and Xue Rengui before, and when they left, they left these people at Li Xiao's request.

Li Xiao presented them to the imperial court as assassins, these people have all made meritorious achievements in the battle to destroy Baekje, and their original grade is not low, so of course it is no problem to be a assassin in Baekje.

"General Liu must be rescued!"

Li Xiao opened his mouth and set the tone first.

"I must save it, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to solve the fire from afar." Wang Fangyi said that from Baijiangkou to Jiuchi City, the distance in a straight line is three hundred miles, but the actual distance is more than five hundred miles.

Rescue is like fighting fire, but 500 miles is a big trouble.

Another big trouble is that now the people of Baekje have raised the banner of recovering the country, but they are afraid that rebellions will rise in various places, and at this time, it will be difficult to rescue Liu Boying from a long distance, and it will be difficult to march smoothly along the way.

"I'm afraid that the land march will not be peaceful, and it is estimated that there will be many rebel attacks and interceptions." Zhao Zhiman also made comments.

Li Xiao opened a map of Baekje.

"I have an idea, it's a bit bold."

"Although the festival marshal said, let's discuss it again." Big Brother Qin Xiong said.

Li Xiao pointed to the map, "Everyone, please see, we are now located at the mouth of the Baijiang River, and this is the seaside." And the city of Jiuchi is to the north of us, five hundred miles away. If we rush to reinforcements by land, we are afraid that it will take a long time, and we will face the attacks of rebels along the way. But what if we go by sea? ”

"By sea?"

Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and he looked at the map, "Yes, Jiuchi City is not far from the sea, and it is estimated that it is less than a hundred miles." ”

When marching on land, you will be harassed.

But what about at sea?

With the current sea movement and combat capability of the Tang Army, the Baekje people will definitely not be able to pose a threat.

On the other hand, although there is a detour at sea, the distance seems to be longer, but the actual speed at sea is faster. From the mouth of the Baijiang River to the port near Jiuchi City, it was only a few hours at most.

When you arrive at the port, there is only less than a hundred miles of land left, and you can kill the city in half a day.

The most important thing is that if they pass by sea, they will definitely surprise the Baekje people, and when they come out from behind the Baekje rebels, they will not be killed by surprise.

"Okay, that's a good move!"

"Sea rescue, one day is enough."

"I believe that Liu Bofang can only hold on to it in one day."

The generals all laughed and said.

The game that was supposed to die is now solved.

"Then it's decided, immediately transfer troops to the ship, and set off immediately."

Zhao Zhiman said, "Rescue the city for a long time, there are not many soldiers." The soldiers can't be fast, let me take 3,000 people to go, and you can return to Siyu City to prevent rebellion. ”
