Chapter 1253: Alone in the Depths

Onimuro Fushin died like this, dying of the suspicion of Buyeo Zhang, and dying of the framing of his colleagues.

However, although this old guy who has fought for Baekje all his life is aggrieved, in some ways, such a death seems to be good, at least without seeing the country he has guarded all his life destroyed in the war.

And the day after the king of Baekje killed the ghost room Fukushin, the Baekje riot finally could not be suppressed, and a large number of Baekje civilians who were struggling on the verge of survival flocked to the palace, shouting that they wanted to eat and that the government must open a warehouse to release grain.

However, the king of Baekje could no longer take out any surplus food, and he still had to keep the few official warehouses to feed the soldiers, after all, if those big fighters mutinied, it would be far more terrible than the people making trouble.

At the same time, Cheng Chumo was leading his 5,000-strong vanguard army to move with difficulty in the direction of the Baekje Imperial City.

The whole of Baekje was on the verge of food shortage, and rebel armies could be seen everywhere, and at most times, Xiao Cheng even encountered more than a dozen armies belonging to different forces in one day.

However, fortunately, although there are many teams encountered, their number is not large, and their combat effectiveness is not good, according to Li Chengqian's standards, they can't even reach the standard of minus five.

These people are not so much an army as a group of hungry peasants, not to mention fighting in front of a tiger and wolf division like the Liaodong Army, and being able to form a formation can be regarded as being able to fight in a habitual battle.

It is said that Baekje and Silla have been fighting for so many years, and their combat effectiveness will not be scum to this extent, but don't forget, the attack of the Liaodong Army was so sudden that it almost exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the eyes of the Baekje and Silla people, although the Liaodong Army took Goguryeo in one go, it was also a great loss of strength, and it was impossible to attack them without a long rest.

Therefore, almost all of the real veterans of Baekje and Silla were concentrated at the junction of the three kingdoms, and they planned to leave the Liaodong Army on the peninsula completely by surprise according to the plan at the beginning.

It was precisely because of this that Cheng Chumo did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, and almost the speed of the marching army was approaching the Baekje Imperial City.

In the other direction, the 20,000-strong Liaodong Army slowly pressed towards the junction of the three kingdoms, and the number was small, but Silla and Baekje brought enough pressure.

Baekje wanted to withdraw his troops to help, but when the three parties were contained, the main general was afraid that as soon as he retreated, Silla would take the opportunity to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to get into the alley.

And Silla also had the same consideration, so he could only raise his vigilance and keep an eye on the 20,000 men of the Liaodong Army and the nearly 200,000 troops of Baekje.

The three parties were stalemate with each other in this way, but the Tang Dynasty, which had the smallest number of people, was the most relaxed one, not afraid of the alliance between Silla and Baekje, and did not know whether the Tang army generals were nervous or fearless.

The vanguard army of the Liaodong Army, the scouts sent out were steaming hot above their heads in the bitter cold, their faces were covered with sweat, and they immediately followed Cheng silently: "General Cheng, a hundred miles ahead is Baekje Xiongjin City, with nearly 100,000 Baekje troops stationed, and it looks like they are going to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

"One hundred thousand, hehe......" Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Speed up the march, let's go and meet these 100,000 Baekje people." ”

"General, do you want to inform the Grand Administrator?" The scout cautioned before leaving.

After all, they only have 5,000 people, 100 against 100,000 Baekje people, and it will be difficult to win no matter what.

Although the men of the Liaodong Army became a little disregarded for life after the decisive battle in Goguryeo, this does not mean that they like to treat one as ten and joke with their own lives.

If you can wait for the rear army, it is naturally better to wait for the convergence with the army and then fight with Baekje.

"Go and inform! After Kumjin Castle is the Baekje King City of Sihyeon, this battle can be said to be the last battle, and after the battle, we can go home. "Cheng Chumo fully inherited his Laozi's 'advantages', he was never confused when he should be shrewd, although he was usually stunned, but when it was related to his own life, he would never make a rash decision.

"Yes, I'll notify you immediately." The scout was ordered to beat the horse and leave, while Xiao Cheng continued to move forward with the team.

At the meeting that day, Li Chengqian said that this war must be resolved quickly, and it is necessary to fight well and reduce unnecessary losses.

Therefore, the Liaodong Army gave up almost everything this time, unless it was a necessary battle, it would not fight with anyone at all, even if it passed by some cities, at most, it would take the Tang people out of the city, as long as the other party did not resist, it would not attack anyone at all.

Under such circumstances, a large part of the Baekje people believed in the reason for the Liaodong Army's 'evacuation of overseas Chinese', and turned a blind eye to the 40,000-strong army, allowing them to drive straight in.

Some people here may ask, aren't they afraid that the Baekje people will set up an ambush and lead them into the ambush circle and destroy them?

In fact, the reason in this is very simple, because the 40,000 Liaodong Legion plus their equipment are not afraid of anyone in Baekje at all, and with their nearly 200,000 combat forces on the border, it is simply impossible to use other people to block the 40,000 Liaodong Legion, and they are fully capable of cutting through any enemy interception.

A hundred miles away, according to the normal marching speed, the Liaodong Army could reach it in two days, but considering the duties of the vanguard, Cheng Chumo deliberately slowed down the speed, and while scouting around, he was also preparing supplies for camping.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, 5,000 pioneers rushed to the foot of Xiongjin Fortress and saw the 100,000 Baekje army encamped outside the city.

"General, do you want to try to attack?" The adjutant general and Cheng Chumo stood side by side, holding binoculars in their hands, and asked while looking.

"What to try, what else to try, look at the virtue of those guys' yellow faces and thin muscles, I can't bear it." Cheng Chumo also had a telescope in his hand, but he just glanced at it and put it down, with entanglement and hesitation on his face.

At present, Li Daozong's Chinese army is less than thirty miles behind him, and it is completely possible to give him strong support in a short period of time if he really fights.

But the odious thing is that the old man Li Daozong gave him an order to stand by, as long as the Baekje people do not attack and provoke, no one is allowed to act without authorization, and Li Chengqian's order is carried out very thoroughly.

He didn't want to provoke, but the people of Baekje on the other side didn't want to let him go, and a guy in a brocade robe jumped out of the military formation and shouted: "The general of the Tang Dynasty on the other side, the prime minister of my family has something to invite, can you dare to come out and answer." ”
