Under the deterrence of the overseers and those who retreated, the 3,000 Silla foot soldiers, risking their lives to charge, fell under the dense rain of arrows of the Tang army, and finally set up a sparse wooden platoon on the trench in front of the Tang army camp for the rear team to step on.

The arrows of the Tang army did not stop there, and still shot at the same density, but because of the shortening of the distance, the penetrating power of the arrows of the Tang army was undoubtedly greatly exerted.

The more than 300 Silla ironclad soldiers who rushed through the trench fell to the ground unwillingly with several crossbow arrows in their bodies before they rushed to the fence in front of the Tang military camp.

The righteous officer who kept calling his subordinates to charge, but he couldn't protect his whole body with a shield, he was hit by an arrow in his left leg, and he shot his thigh directly, half-kneeling on the ground, holding a big shield in his left hand to protect his whole body as much as possible, and there were seven or eight personal soldiers around him holding shields to protect him.

"General Zhu, more than half of our army has suffered casualties before rushing to the fence of the Tang army, and it is not a way to rush brutely, so please ask the general to withdraw his troops."

The generals around Zhu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and had to propose. Zhu Zhi's face was also very ugly, and he replied angrily: "Our army's stone throwers have all been destroyed by the Tang army, what can we do now except for brute charge?" General Jin wanted our army to break through the Tang army camp within ten days. ”

In the era when there was no artillery, the best weapon for siege was a stone thrower, which destroyed the city from a long distance and destroyed the enemy's defenses. But if there were no catapults, they would either attack at the cost of their soldiers' lives, or lure the enemy out of the city and annihilate them in the field.

After a few days of confrontation with the Tang army, the Silla generals did not think that they could lead the Tang army out, and if they couldn't lead it out, then there was only one way to attack.

Seeing that his subordinates fell one after another in the charge, the righteous officer himself was also hit by an arrow in the thigh, and the three hundred elite ironclad soldiers sent by Zhu Zhi failed to rush to the front of the Tang military camp.

Although unwilling to atone for his sins, the righteous officer gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat, and the soldiers who had been granted amnesty did not hesitate to turn around and run back.

The righteous officer also slowly retreated across the trench under the shield of his own soldiers.

"I ignored this Silla general!" Li Wenbai found that the righteous officer and his party who were slowly retreating through the trench called the captain who commanded the stone throwing machine with bad intentions and pointed out to him, "Seven or eight soldiers must be guarding Senior General Silla, and your five stone throwing machines have been aimed at a certain one, and they must not be allowed to go back alive if they are smashed over once." ”

The lieutenant estimated the distance and replied affirmatively: "General Li can rest assured, I will definitely let this Silla general lay here." ”

Under the command of the lieutenant, the five stone throwers retreated a certain distance, adjusted the direction of the projectile, and loaded fifty catties of stone bullets in the holster. With a shout, five stone bullets were thrown into the air, rubbing against the air and rushing to the retreating righteous officers with a whistling sound.

The Tang people threw stone bullets again? The righteous officer lowered the shield blocking his head and looked into the air, and several stone bullets appeared in his eyes, smashing towards him.

The righteous officer was shocked and "dodged the ......"

"Bang Bang ......"

Five stone bullets smashed into the surrounding area of 20 paces one after another, and the righteous officer and his party happened to be directly hit by a stone bullet, and the eight guards were stoned to death on the spot, and the rest were slightly and seriously injured.

When the volunteer found that the stone bullet had fallen, he struggled to push away the soldiers who were protecting him and dodged it, but his right hand was smashed into flesh by another falling stone bullet. Holding the severed arm that had lost half of his arm, the righteous officer lay on the ground and howled.

Li Wenbai patted the captain's arm, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Yes, wait a minute, I will ask for credit for you in front of General Heizhi." ”

"General Xie Li!" The lieutenant said gratefully.

"The Silla general who was hit by you was the righteous officer who escaped that day." Qin Jingqian rode a horse, jumped off the war horse after speaking, took off the special tensile crossbow from the saddle in Li Wenbai's unexplained eyes, put on the arrow and rushed to the fence to aim and cover the broken arm, and the righteous official who was difficult to stand up shot with an arrow.

With a whoosh, the righteous officer looked down at the arrow that was inserted in his chest, breaking the iron armor on his body and still trembling, laughed miserably, and fell down with unwilling eyes.

When the Silla army saw that its own general was shot by the Tang army, the whole army was shaken, and Zhu Zhi looked at the righteous officer who died on the battlefield, opened his mouth, and finally had to come up with a sentence: "Retreat back to the camp!" ”

Qin Jingqian put away the Fuyuan crossbow in her hand with satisfaction, and Li Wenbai stepped forward and said with a smile: "Qin Daxuan, it's okay, I picked up a cheap general and beheaded the Silla general." ”

Qin Jingqian shrugged her shoulders, very innocent, "If you don't take it, I will take it, it's right!" Don't worry, when you ask Your Highness for credit, a certain person will share your credit in front of His Highness, and a certain Qin family is very righteous! ”

Li Wenbai punched Qin Jingqian's chest and scolded shamelessly with a smile.

Hei Zhi Changzhi rode his horse and ordered: "Tonight, the generals of Qin Yin will lead seven hundred horsemen, make the momentum bigger, pretend to attack the Silla camp, and as soon as the Silla army leaves the camp, you will immediately lead your troops to retreat, for five consecutive days, and then wait for a certain next decision." ”

Qin Jingqian was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly responded, she could finally go out of the camp to kill the prestige of the Silla army, although it was only to implement the techniques of disturbing and exhausting the enemy that are often talked about in military books and history books. Presumably, in a few days, General Black Tooth will fake a real show and attack the Silla army camp that is physically and mentally exhausted at night.

……

Trapped in the southern valley of the Jaeyeong Plain, the military units of the Silla South Road and the Wenzhong Headquarters received a letter from a scout sent by Kim Wonsu who risked their lives to pass through the valley exit blocked by the Tang army.

However, when Pinri and Wenzhong learned that the exit of the valley was guarded by the Tang army, which had no less than five or six thousand people, they directly dispelled their previous intention of going directly through the valley to converge after learning that the Northern Route Army had arrived in Seoul.

Faced with Jin Yuanshu's order in the letter, Pin Ri and Wen Zhong discussed with a group of generals, but chose not to obey for the safety of the 20,000 soldiers in their headquarters.

After all, there were 3,000 Tang troops stationed on the slope of the narrowest part of the valley, and the mouth of the valley was guarded by the Tang army. Once blocked by the Tang army at Taniguchi, the back road will also be blocked by the Tang army on the hillside. At that time, it will be difficult for the Southern Route Army not to be destroyed!

But if they disobeyed the commander's orders, the generals were worried that no matter whether Jin Yuanshu won or lost, they would definitely be punished, and if they defeated their Southern Route Army, they would be punished for not obeying the commander's orders.

Pin Ri smiled and comforted the generals: "Judging from the establishment of soldiers and horses under the command of King Tang Yan, the camp on the slope of the mountain in the valley is two armies with completely different banners, each with 3,000 people. Now blocking the mouth of the valley are also two Tang armies with different banners. Then, at present, the strength of the Tang army that came to meet our army has reached 12,000 people, which is all the troops of the Tang army stationed in the Seoul Prefecture Governor's Mansion before the war broke out. In other words, although our army was not ordered to rush to Seoul to participate in the battle, it still shared the pressure of 12,000 Tang troops for General Kim. Our army was in vain, but it didn't either! ”

After Pinri's explanation, the apprehensive generals of the Southern Route Army suddenly felt at ease with the idea of risking to Seoul to join the main force without being ordered.

Look, we share the worries of the 12,000 Tang Army for General Jin!
