Chapter 312: South Advance II

Tiancun's leading army had just crossed the tributary of the Zai Ning River and entered the west bank, only two miles away from Jin Yuanshu's camp, and at this time, the sentry cavalry came to report that tens of thousands of Tang army Chen soldiers were three miles away.

"How is General Kim's camp doing?" Tiancun asked eagerly.

The sentry horseman's face was bitter, "The hill on which General Jin was encamped was burned to the slope full of ashes, and the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang army on the mountain built a Jingguan. ā€

Tiancun's head slammed, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, but the soldiers around him hurriedly held on.

When the generals heard this, their brains changed greatly, and they were terrified for a while, and they kept asking what Tiancun should do at this time?

A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen!

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the east bank of the tributaries of the Ning River, from far and near, Tiancun arranged for the sentinel to ride a flying horse to report: "The general is not good, a large force of Tang cavalry has appeared behind our army, watch its banner, and guard the left and right of the Tang Army's Beihai Iron Cavalry." ā€

"Oh my God! Isn't our army surrounded by the front and rear of the Don army? ā€

"Quick, quickly choose a road from the north and south, and break through the encirclement before the Tang army is encircled......"

……

In front of them were tens of thousands of Tang troops waiting for them, and behind them were six thousand Tang cavalry cutting off their way back. The 10,000 Silla cavalry who came to the aid only had 1,000 cavalry, and they were in the plain area where there was no danger to defend, so it was difficult to predict the odds of winning against the Tang cavalry on the back road alone.

The news of the siege quickly spread throughout the Silla army, and the officers and men of the army were greatly frightened and restless. The formation of the Silla army, whose morale was greatly demoralized, was chaotic, and everyone was afraid of being surrounded and killed by the Tang army. In order to survive, many Silla soldiers on the periphery of the military formation sneaked away because the generals of the warp were not paying attention to discarding their armor.

Only hearing the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves, and not seeing the Tang army, the Silla army was frightened, and this is still possible?

The angry Tiancun had a great hatred, stepped on the war horse and commanded the cavalry to rush to the periphery of the military formation, killing the soldiers who tried to escape one after another, and scolded sharply: "If there is anyone who escapes, it will be such a person." ā€

Tiancun used a spear to stick the head of a deserter who was beheaded by him to demonstrate in front of the whole army, deterring the timid and cowardly soldiers with two hearts, and strictly ordered the generals to strictly guard the soldiers under their command......

After a bloody massacre, the sloppy military spirit of the Silla army was temporarily suppressed by iron-blooded military discipline.

But the fact that he was surrounded by the Tang army made Tiancun very sad, and he couldn't stop scolding Jin Yuanshu for being incompetent, which caused the general to fall into the army.

……

"Report ......" Li Yu sent a sentry to monitor the movements of the Silla army, Pegasus, to report: "Your Highness, we have not been ordered to intercept and kill the Silla sentry cavalry, and the Silla army is currently aware of the news of the destruction of the entire army of Kim Wonshu. The Beihai Iron Cavalry led by the two generals Qin Jingqian and Li Wenbai successfully circled to the rear of the Silla Army and cut off its retreat, which was only three miles away from the Silla Army at this time. After the Silla army learned that it had fallen into the encirclement of our army, the whole army was frightened and uneasy, and many deserters appeared, and its main general, Tian Cun Xin, led the cavalry to kill the deserters, and temporarily curbed the tide of deserters, and now stopped on the west bank of the tributary of the Zaining River and did not retreat. ā€

Li Yesi regretted: "It would be good if the Silla army launched an attack when there was a wave of deserters, and a few thousand horsemen could defeat its army." ā€

"Although the fighter plane was missed once, the predicament of the Silla army has not changed. At present, it is only relying on the iron-blooded means of heaven to forcibly control the panicked army, and it will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness in battle. Li Yu smiled and said disapprovingly.

"Tiancun is also decisive at the moment of crisis, and he has some brains, I want to recruit him."

"Your Highness's intention to persuade you to surrender?" Li Yesi and other generals asked uncertainly, if this is persuasion, this battle will not be fought, and Zhang Shi, who is full of ambition, will probably have to be depressed again.

"If you can persuade to surrender, you can persuade to surrender, after all, it is 10,000 horses, whether it is used to attack the cannon fodder of Silla Jiancheng or to work hard as coolies, it is a considerable amount of labor."

Li Yu summoned a lieutenant and handed him a letter, instructing: "Send this letter to the Silla army commander Tiancun." He made it clear to him that as long as he led his army to surrender and conquered the cities in the north of Silla for the sake of the king, and broke the country to the city of Jincheng, the king would be magnanimous and ignore his previous suspicions of leading his army to capture the northern border of the Kumjin Prefecture. ā€

"Whoa!"

The lieutenant took the letter from Li Yu's hand, took four subordinates and a translator, and rode his horse to the front of the Silla army to meet the Silla army commander Tiancun.

Tiancun, who was worried about advancing and retreating, met with the Tang army messenger, heard his intentions, and opened the letter sent to him by Li Yu's messenger.

In the letter, Li Yu stated that the current situation of the Tang and Xin armies was nothing more than to add a small Jingguan on the hill to the west. After Li Yu annihilated him, he could still wave his army south, quickly break through the fortified cities in the northern part of Silla, which had been outnumbered by major generals, and reach the fortress of Kuniwon.

The Tang army intended to surrender, and the officers and men of the Silla army were quite moved, because they learned that the Jin Yuanshu army was actually roasted to death in the camp by the Tang army, and after the end, the dead bodies of more than 30,000 Silla troops who had been roasted were built on the hill to build a Jingguan.

The soldiers of the Silla army were terrified, for fear that the lord would not surrender to the heavens, and they would be stationed in Jingguan after being killed by the Tang army, and even if they were captured, they would be reduced to slave laborers and go to the iron ore mines, and the labor would cause Fang to rest.

Knowing that they were invincible, the Silla army was very determined to descend, and they did not have the consciousness to sacrifice their lives for Kim Famin, who was staying in the palace of Jinseong thousands of miles away.

Seeing that Tiancun was hesitant to surrender to the Tang army, three generals advocated killing the Tang army messenger and fighting to the death, and would rather destroy the whole army here than be a lackey for the Tang people.

The generals of the Silla Army, who did not want to die and advocated surrender, instigated the soldiers to make a noise, surrounded Tiancun and other generals, and shouted loudly to surrender to the Tang Army, and they wanted to go home.

Seeing this, the captain of the Tang Military Academy, who came to deliver a letter to persuade him to surrender, showed a smug smile, and he was really frightened all the way after taking over this errand from His Royal Highness. For fear that the sky would not fall, he killed him to boost the morale of the army. At present, most of the Silla army advocates surrender, and the following crimes have been committed.

The captain broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that his life was saved, and he might be able to be promoted to lieutenant for his meritorious service.

"I am willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to surrender to His Royal Highness King Yan of the Tang Dynasty and serve His Royal Highness." Tiancun said these words with an extremely bitter mouth.

The soldiers of the Silla Army who wanted to surrender shouted loudly, and the three generals who did not want to surrender were trembling with anger, pointing at Tiancun and scolding Fu Guoen.

"Kill these three Silla thieves!"

I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers of the Silla army who surrounded him drew their swords and guns and swarmed up, chopping the three generals who did not want to surrender and scolded incessantly into pulp.

Tiancun was pushed aside by the soldiers who rushed up, watching as the three loves he valued would be slashed and chopped by the rest of the soldiers.
