Chapter 213: The Last Battle

The Baekje army was defeated again, and now the entire city knew that the capital was not safe. In desperation, the king of Baekje called his henchmen to discuss countermeasures. None of the dozen or so ministers spoke, and no one could do anything. It's too late to say anything!

Park In-seok sighed in his heart: "I regret not being at the beginning! He felt that it was better to surrender at the beginning, at least he could save his life, and he would not be trapped in the capital and endure all kinds of torments and wait for death now.

There was a dead silence above the main hall, and at this time a man said, "What is there to be afraid of? The minister only needs to retreat from the Jin army. "This man is the brother of the king of Baekje. Usually he can't speak in this scene, but today he came uninvited.

The king of Baekje didn't think of him as a brother from his heart, but at this time, after all, he was a brother, and the country was about to be ruined, so he had to let this brother know, so he came to the main hall by himself.

When King Baekje heard his brother's words, his heart was warm, after all, he was a brother. See the truth in the most difficult time!

The king of Baekje hurriedly asked, "What do you think, brother?" ”

The younger brother of Baekje said: "The Jin army was fierce when it came, and we were the trap of the Jin army in the company in several battles, whose responsibility is this?" Of course, it was the Minister of State and General Park In-seok, it was the incompetence of the two that led to the annihilation of our nearly 200,000-strong army, and even our capital was surrounded by the other side! ”

Hearing the other party say this, the king of Baekje was a little reluctant. Isn't that a secret accusation of his sin? But he can't interject, because the other party has a strategy to retreat! I had to pretend to be sincere, like a child who did something wrong and was reprimanded by his parents.

The king of Baekje rebuked the people in the main hall all over again. Then the conversation changed and said that but now it is not who is responsible, but to withdraw the army. At the thought that his homeland was about to be breached by the Jin army, the royal brother of Baekje felt uncomfortable. In any case, there are still many people in Baekje, and he has to say his own way for their sake!

I saw him bluntly say: "There is only one way now, and that is peace talks." ”

The prime minister laughed when he heard it, what kind of solution is this!? Seeing that the Jin army is about to enter the city, people will make peace with you!

The king of Baekje also felt that his brother was whimsical, and he frowned and said, "On what terms to negotiate peace with the Jin army." ”

Brother Wang ignored the ridicule of the people around him, and replied: "Hand over a proton and send it to the Great Jin, and then hand over all the ministers and generals of the main battle to the Great Jin for disposal, including the Minister of State." In this way, we can preserve the foundation of our Baekje country! ”

"No, I can't. No way. This one doesn't work. "The king of Baekje was taken aback and handed over all the ministers, isn't this looking for death? There is a Jin army outside attacking the city, once this suggestion is spread. Don't wait for them to do it. Those ministers of the main war faction had to rebel. Especially the Prime Minister. With heavy troops in hand, he was never willing to be sent to the Great Jin camp.

The prime minister swallowed his anger and listened to the other party's plan, but fortunately, the statement of the king of Baekje made him feel better. The prime minister believed that although Baekje did not defeat the Jin army, they could still use their tall walls to prevent the Jin army from entering the city. I thought of the suggestion of the younger brother of Baekje just now. A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

This Baekje brother is not a good thing, and the reason why he strongly advocates surrendering is because the people around him give him an idea. He had completely lost faith in the rule of the Baekje king, so he sent a secret letter from one of his confidants to meet Tao Kan, the commander of the Jin army.

In the past few days, Tao Kan has been busy with combat deployment, and the siege of the city for several days has not had any effect, so if it continues, it will definitely have low morale, and it will also cause great casualties. At this time, he was overjoyed to see the secret letter written by the king of Baekje, and soon he agreed to the other party's army to surrender to the city.

In the morning, Tao Kan convened an emergency meeting to tell the generals about the incident, and everyone was suspicious of it. Li Xiong said cautiously: "General, be careful in this matter!" How many times we calculated Baekje, this time we had to guard against them? ”

At this time, Tao Kan was not sure in his heart, although what was written in the other party's letter was very clear, but who didn't know if there would be fraud in it, but if it was true, wouldn't it be to miss the opportunity to attack the city?

Su Guang, who joined the army, suggested: "General, we might as well let Captain Lim attack Ducheng in Baekje from the waterway, so that the enemy army can mobilize troops and horses to relieve our pressure, and then we will take the opportunity to enter." ”

Tao Kan shook his head and said, "The Lindu Governor's Department is resolutely unable to move, if it does, the remnants of Baekje may take the opportunity to escape from the sea." Our goal is to annihilate Baekje's army and not allow a single person to escape. ”

In the end, everyone decided to break the kettle and kill it, regardless of whether there was fraud or not. Yao Gezhong waved his hands and said conclusively: "General, let's send an army into the city first to join the surrendered army of Baekje, so that even if something happens, we will not be passive." ”

Tao Kan actually thought so in his heart, at this time he was more cautious than anyone else, because he was the commander of the army, and the life and death of the Jin army were decided by him. The joint code given by the other party is three watches in the evening, and the east gate opens a small door and there are three lights on to signal it.

Tao Kan sent a lieutenant to lead 1,000 men and horses into the city according to the prior agreement, and Yao Gezhong brought 5,000 elite soldiers to meet them outside in case of accidents. After the operation began, Tao Kan stood at the highest point of the east gate and watched the movement in the city. According to the code of the joint, the 1,000 men and horses of the Jin army entered!

The lieutenant led by the Jin army kept an eye on it, and did not bring all the soldiers to the meeting place, but left more than ten people on each street along the way, and if he planned to report to the people outside the city. The henchmen of the younger brother of the king of Baekje brought the Jin army to the palace, and the more than 500 people and horses in the palace were all armed and waiting for the order to surrender.

As soon as the commander of the Jin army joined forces with the palace, before he could give a signal to the army outside the city, the compound of the palace was surrounded by the Baekje army. The king of Baekje and the prime minister of the kingdom rode horses at the gate of the palace and waited for the Jin army to surrender.

It turned out that the prime minister had been watching every move of the king of Baekje since the court meeting, and finally found clues for him, originally he thought that he would arrest a general of the Jin army, but it turned out that the Jin army had only 1,000 people entering the city.

At this time, the minister of Baekje stood triumphantly on the periphery and shouted, "You have been surrounded, if you throw me, I will save you from death." ”

Du Wei didn't panic when he saw that he had hit the plan, he pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted: "Brothers, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Yes, we are Dajin soldiers, what is so terrible about death! It's just a pity that we can't be with our brothers outside! ”

The lieutenant drew his sword and said to his men, "Brothers, I order you to be killed. ”

Immediately, more than 800 people and hundreds of times more than them tore and killed! Du Wei did not release the signal, because they had already been tricked and did not want the Jin army to have more casualties. They fought for more than two hours, and finally retreated to a courtyard in the palace. The lieutenant saw that there were less than fifty people around him, and the people outside kept shouting words of surrender.

The lieutenant said: "Brothers, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" We will still be brothers in the next life. ”

The soldiers raised their swords and shouted, "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent." If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. ”

The commander gave the order to kill them, and fifty people were killed like hungry wolves, and the corpses of Baekje were everywhere, but the good tiger could not stand a pack of wolves. The lieutenant was shot in the chest by Baekje's arrow, and his nostalgic eyes kept looking out of the city, "The general avenges us!" ”

He used his last breath to send out a red signal, indicating that the city had been tricked, and at this time it was already dawn, Tao Kan knew everything, he said with tears in his eyes: "You sacrificed your life for the country, true heroes!" ”

Seeing that the Jin army was so tenacious, the prime minister was angry and ordered the Jin army's head to be cut off and placed on the city gate. Tao Kan was furious when he learned the news, and he locked himself in a big tent for three days and didn't come out, and no one was seen.

In the end, Tao Kan was very tired and convened a military meeting, which the generals thought was to discuss the problem of breaking the city. Who knew that as soon as Tao Kan came up, he actually ordered the withdrawal of troops, and he also asked everyone not to bring what they should not bring, eat all the food on the spot, throw away what they can't eat, and order the soldiers to retreat fifty miles.

The generals didn't understand, and they didn't have a good idea of joining the army, and Li Xiong and Yao Gezhong stood at the door until dawn and didn't see Tao Kan. They are discouraged, how can they be so unlucky! Follow this coach! What a celebrity! It's just a name.

When the news of the Jin army's withdrawal reached the ears of the King of Baekje, he couldn't believe it. The prime minister also heard about it, but they couldn't believe it was true, and in the end they caught a Jin army spy to be sure that it was true. The prime minister was afraid that he would be fooled again, so he tortured him severely, did he really withdraw from the army, but the last sentence of the spy was killed was that the Jin army had withdrawn!

The king of Baekje also didn't believe that the Jin army had retreated, why? There's no reason for that? I can't figure it out when I think about it! Until the probe horse in front returned and said that the weapons and armor of the Jin army were thrown away. At this time, the king of Baekje breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun was about to set, and the Jin army had already walked more than 200 miles, and was about to camp and rest, when Tao Kan suddenly ordered his subordinates to return to the capital of Baekje, and only allowed the soldiers to take weapons and war horses, and throw away the rest. During the fifth watch, the Jin army once again besieged the capital of Baekje.

The Jin army secretly climbed the city wall, and there was not even a ghost on the Baekje city wall! When they arrived at the city, there were more than a dozen people guarding the gates. The Jin army quietly killed the people of Baekje and opened the city gates. The rest of the army shouted: "Kill! "An army of 10,000 suddenly entered Baekje City, and the city was in chaos.

The king of Baekje and the princess flirted with each other, and when he heard the shouts of killing, what interest and passion did he have, and he didn't even have the mood. The palace was even more chaotic. The prime minister led his guards to find the king of Baekje, and just in time to see the king of Baekje leaving the palace with his army!

They hurriedly discussed countermeasures. The prime minister said with a sad face: "The king has no choice but to break through now!" We'll come back tomorrow! ”

The king of Baekje cried urgently, "How are we going?" ”

The state minister said: "Don't we still have thirty warships? Isn't there a river in the king's harem that leads directly to the sea? Although the Jin army has a navy to block us, but the sea is so big, can he block us? (To be continued......)
