When Li Yu received the report from He Judao, the envoy sent to persuade Yiyun Jinyi, he smiled faintly, and he had no so-called admiration for people like Yiyun Jinyi who did not know the current affairs, and some only despised it.

Just Yidi, but also know loyalty?

Well, from the previous life to the present life, Li Yu has always been a people's *clan*ist*righteous person, born in the early Tang Dynasty when the military was at its peak and the power was in all directions, and the plot of the people's * clan * was undoubtedly extremely magnified.

Standing in the trend of the times of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu can unceremoniously roar at the group of people who forgot their ancestors and recognized thieves as their fathers: "In this era, every Han people is a big *Han* * lord * righteous element, and they are all emperors. In order not to trample on the dignity of the nation, and to wash away the shame, the Han family rode thousands of miles deep into the desert, and captured the khans of those steppe peoples to Chang'an to offer prisoners, like monkeys for the people of the Tang Dynasty to visit. Let the nomads touted by the shameless people of later generations worship Chang'an, and drive the Tang Dynasty to suppress and kill those who do not obey the king. ”

With the Eastern Route Army under the command of Heiya Changzhi under Jincheng, the number of soldiers and horses available in Li Yu's hands increased to more than 50,000, and the Silla army was reduced to 30,000.

The abundant troops not only surrounded Jincheng like an iron bucket, making it difficult for Jin Famin to escape, but also gave Li Yu extra troops to use.

Since Yiyun Jinyi wants to be loyal to Silla, let him go and bury Silla who is about to perish!

Li Yuli transferred Xue Ne to command 10,000 troops to march westward, and Nuo Yiyun Jin Yi did not surrender and annihilated on the spot.

As for whether the Silla magnates in Jincheng surrendered after seeing the persuasion letter projected into the city, Li Yu didn't bother to continue to wait, anyway, there were 30,000 Silla cannon fodder, so let the Silla people strangle each other in the siege battle.

If he wanted to attack, he attacked fiercely, and Li Yu ordered 30,000 Silla soldiers to attack the four gates of Jincheng at the same time.

Tens of thousands of Silla soldiers were under the supervision of the Tang army behind them, wearing simple clothes and armor carrying ladders, pushing siege towers and battering rams, and braving the arrows and artillery stones of the defenders on the city to swarm under the city. A pole of ladders climbed the three-zhang high city wall one after another, and the soldiers climbed the ladders in an endless stream with their war knives, even if their companions were constantly shot and fell, no one took a step back, because the retreaters would be killed on the spot by the Tang army who supervised the battle when they turned back.

In addition to the strict military law that forced Silla to surrender to attack the city, Li Yu also took out things that made these soldiers blush.

The subordinates are just the bottom of the Silla kingdom, how can there be any national righteousness, who can make them live a good life, and what difference does it make if they are ruled by the same clan or a foreign race.

In the past few years, the kings of their clan have been fighting abroad for many years, making their lives miserable for ordinary people, and the taxes have been levied for two years, and some time ago they didn't even let go of growing grain, and it was common for people to starve to death at home. In the face of Li Yu's promise, as long as they assisted the Tang army in breaking through Jincheng, they would be let go home, and the fields at home would be exempt from tax for three years, and those who had no land would be given the fields.

Then this group of Silla soldiers in order to be happy in the future, they aimed at their former king Kim Famin in Jinseong. In any case, they must break through the city and pull Kim Famin off the throne in exchange for their happy life of tax exemption for three years and the distribution of fields.

Although the generals of the clan were on the front line to supervise the battle, the defenders of the city fought bravely and defeated the soldiers three times in a row, but they could not stop the decline in morale.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that the fall of Jincheng is only a matter of time, at this moment, the Tang army can drive a group of troops to almost break through the city defense, and the Tang army, which is brave and good at fighting, will attack the city in person, how long can it be held?

Coupled with the letter of persuasion projected into the city by the Tang army a few days ago, the contents of the book were circulated among the soldiers defending the city, and more and more ordinary soldiers were unwilling to accompany the Silla royal family who was about to be defeated.

The military spirit was unusable, but Jin Dazhong was in a hurry, and hurriedly entered the palace to pay tribute to Jin Famin, asking for a batch of money from the treasury to be transferred on the city wall to motivate the soldiers.

In the past few days, Jin Famin thought that he had no fighting spirit, and sat on the throne with a cloak, listening to the advice of Jin Dazhong with blank eyes, and only said one accurate word after he finished speaking.

After Jin Dazhong got the order, he excitedly took people to open the treasury, took out all the gold and silver in it and divided it into four parts, and placed it on the tower of the four gates, with hundreds of thousands of taels of yellow and white things to the visual impact of people, and stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Not to mention, although this trick is cliché, it is quite effective, and the morale has increased by more than half at once, and the troops who have attacked the city have been driven down.

Li Yu was so angry that he threw the teacup and scolded this group of soldiers for being a group of useless waste, and they could be driven down by the defenders with low morale even if they attacked the city.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi asked again: "Your Highness let the last general lead the army to attack the city, and your subordinates have been practicing siege tactics in the past few days, and they will definitely be able to capture the city in one fell swoop." ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Yu scolded Zhang Shi, under his command is the right guard of Yanyun Iron Cavalry, which is one of the four elite cavalry that he relies on, and the confidence to fight the world in the future can be used in the low-end war of attrition such as siege? Instead of practicing cavalry tactics, he practiced siege tactics, which made Li Yu very angry.

His Royal Highness did not allow cavalry to participate in the siege of the city, and the troops led by Li Yesi, Yu Chengzhi and others were mainly infantry, and they asked Li Yu to lead their soldiers to replace the unused Silla army.

Li Yu waved his hand, although Silla surrendered troops to attack the city in the past four days and lost 7,000 troops, the morale gradually declined, and he lost the excitement when he heard Li Yu's promise. There are still more than 20,000 people, how can they waste their lives in the siege battle knowing that there are many casualties?

Considering that the soldiers attacked the city for days, the casualties were not small, and the morale was also very poor, in order to avoid continuing to force them to die, there was a rebellious mentality. Li Yu decided to postpone the siege and rest for three days.

Although it is not a siege, the blow to the morale of the defenders of Jincheng cannot be relaxed. In the past three days, various types of stone throwers have been throwing artillery stones and oil bombs into the city, and the fire caused in the city is like a bright torch at night, which is clearly visible more than ten miles away.

……

Xue Ne led his army to approach the Silla army stationed in the valley at the confluence of the Huangshan River and the Qinhu River, occupied favorable terrain and issued an ultimatum to Yiyun Jinyi, limiting him to annihilate on the spot if he did not return within two days.

He Judao, the envoy stationed in the Silla army, also relied on his authority to exert pressure on those generals who intended to surrender, and persuaded them to take the opportunity to admonish them and hold Yiyun Jinyi hostage to surrender.

The generals and colonels soon reached an agreement under the guidance of He Judao, and brought their armor to the Chinese army tent of Yiyun Jinyi that night.

When everyone killed the guards and rushed into the tent, they found that Yiyun Jinyi had long since disappeared, and sent to hunt down and kill those generals who were loyal to Silla, and the people who went were also empty.

After the investigation, a total of more than 200 people, including Yiyun Jinyi, quietly fled the barracks and headed north after nightfall, disappearing into the lofty mountains.

Without the obstruction of the Silla diehards by Yiyun Jinyi and others, more than 10,000 Silla troops surrendered to Xue Ne under the guidance of He Judao. In Tang Junming, he escorted him to Jincheng and accepted the reward from His Royal Highness King Yan.
