"Prince be careful!"

Yi Ci didn't expect that someone in the Tang army could shoot an arrow one hundred and eighty steps away, so he didn't have any defense against Xue Rengui's arrow at all, but fortunately, the guards around him reacted very quickly, and when they saw a cold light rushing towards the prince out of the corner of their eyes, they immediately stepped forward in front of Yi Ci.

With a soft sound of "snort~", this special armor-piercing heavy arrow shot through the armor on the loyal guard's body at once, and even came out of his back. This startled Yici and the other guards around him, and at the same time, all the guards roared angrily, preparing to surround Yici and guard against the opponent's archers.

It's a pity that they don't know that it was Xue Rengui, a famous marksman in the Tang Dynasty, who shot this arrow, since he saw that Yici was an important person, he naturally didn't have to be the only one to prepare, when his first arrow was just shot, the second and third arrows were also shot in front of Yici like lightning.

In the face of the two arrows that were as fast as lightning in the back, both Yici and the guards around him had no time to react, and in the end, the one who had been shot through by an arrow and was seriously injured jumped up again with a roar, desperately blocking the second arrow with his shoulder, but at this time, his body was also crooked to the side by this arrow, and the third arrow flew past his armor, and in Yici's horrified gaze, he was pierced through the throat by the third arrow, and a tent of blood was carried behind him.

These three arrows are slow to say, in fact, they are at most a second or two, which can really be described as lightning and flint, and when the Baekje people who reacted looked at their prince Yiji, they saw a figure slowly falling from the horse's back, and then slammed into the ground, swinging a puff of gray dust.

"Prince...... The prince was shot dead by the Don army! "Seeing this scene in front of me. This thought came to the minds of all Baekje soldiers, and Yiji was not only the prince of Baekje. is still a very prestigious general in the army, but now he was killed by Xue Rengui's arrow. The blow to Baekje's morale was immeasurable, and even most of the Baekje soldiers were stunned, and there was an eerie silence in the scene.

However, this is a battlefield, Xue Rengui obviously will not give the enemy any time, I saw that after he shot Yici with three arrows, he once again brandished Fang Tian's halberd and rushed up, and as soon as he came into contact with the front army of Baekje, he immediately tore a hole in the opponent's team, and then the Tang army immediately used Xue Rengui as an arrow. This opening was quickly enlarged, and the nearly 3,000 Baekje troops outside the city were soon cut in two.

Seeing Prince Yiji die in front of him, the morale of the Baekje army immediately fell to the bottom, coupled with the encounter with the Tang army like a tiger, which made the Baekje soldiers even more demoralized, so after being divided into two sections by Xue Rengui, the entire army was immediately in a state of collapse, although some Baekje generals wanted to regroup, but their positions and prestige were too low. No one wants to listen to them at all.

And Xue Rengui also saw the state of the Baekje army, and immediately ordered someone to guard him, and then once again opened his bow and killed several Baekje generals with a series of arrows, which made the Baekje army even more chaotic. No one could organize an effective resistance, and a large number of Baekje soldiers began to scatter and flee.

Xue Rengui saw that the Baekje army outside was no longer a problem, and the city gate guards were desperately closing the city gate. It's a pity that the defeated Baekje army is desperately squeezing into the city gate, resulting in the city gate being stuck. For a while, it couldn't be closed. As a result, Xue Rengui immediately roared: "Sons, follow a certain person into the city!" ”

With Xue Rengui's roar. The three thousand soldiers under him also roared angrily, rushing towards the Siyu city gate like a torrent of steel, but the guards at the city gate had already been frightened by this vicious Tang army, and the city gate could not be closed for a while, so they all screamed in horror, and then dispersed in a hurry.

Xue Rengui would not show mercy to the Baekje army men who were blocking the city gate, and went up to a bloody fight, and then rushed into Siyun City with a mountain of corpses. However, after entering the city, Xue Rengui did not lead people to rush around, but first seized the city gate, and then cleared the Baekje army near the city gate, but did not go deep into the city.

The reason for doing this is mainly because Xue Rengui knows that Sihyun City is the capital of Baekje after all, even if there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, but it must be much more than their 3,000 people, if they attack strongly, I am afraid that they will encounter extremely fierce resistance, coupled with the narrowness of the city, the overall combat effectiveness of the Tang army has been greatly affected, so even if he can take down the entire city, but in the end, he will have to pay great casualties, and this is the situation that His Royal Highness King Qi does not want to see.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Xue Rengui did not further expand the results of the battle after he conquered this city gate, but while holding on, he sent people to send news to Su Dingfang, so that their army could come over as soon as possible, and then tens of thousands of troops would be divided into several roads and march together, and they would definitely be able to take Siyu City in a short time, and they would not have to pay any too big price.

Xue Rengui easily occupied a gate in Siqian City, and Lu Qing's navy also squeezed the Siqian Navy into the water village, and with the various fortifications of the water village, he barely competed with the Tang army. However, Su Dingfang's 7,000 foot soldiers had already landed on another beach, and when he received the news from Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang was also surprised and delighted, and the surprise was that Xue Rengui's luck was really good, and he happened to encounter reinforcements sent out of the city, but he was caught off guard, and he was happy to open a city gate, which was almost equivalent to the entire city was already in their hands.

The military situation was tense, and Su Dingfang did not have any delay after receiving the news, and immediately rushed to Siyu City with seven thousand Tang troops, and encountered some rout troops disrupted by Xue Rengui along the way, and naturally they all solved them easily.

When Su Dingfang's 7,000 army rushed to the outside of Sihyun City, Xue Rengui in the city was leading 3,000 Tang troops to fight a tragic battle with the counterattacking Baekje army, although Yici was killed to make King Wu very sad, but he also knew that if he didn't want to find a way to take back the lost city gate, then for them Baekje, today is the day of annihilation.

Because of this, King Wu once again gathered more than 6,000 people to personally supervise the battle in the rear, hoping to recapture the city gate before the arrival of the main force of the Tang army. However, Xue Rengui is not a vegetarian, although the army in his hand is less than half of the opponent's, but he fights with the other party well, and even has a slight upper hand.

And when Su Dingfang's 7,000 army rushed into the city, he immediately killed the 6,000 Baekje troops and fled in all directions, and with this sharp spirit, Su Dingfang also beat down the palace in Si Xiang City, and at the same time killed the martial king Fu Yu Zhang, and there were many princes and grandsons, except for a few who escaped from the city, most of the royal family were taken prisoner, and this battle can be described as a complete victory.

After conquering Si Hyun City, Su Dingfang immediately forced King Wu to write a letter of surrender, and asked him to order all the Baekje troops to surrender on the spot, although King Wu was also a figure when he was young, but now he is already an old man who is dying, and the older he gets, the more afraid of death, the sharpness of his youth has long been consumed in a luxurious life, so no matter how unwilling Fuyu Zhang is, in the end he still does everything according to Su Dingfang's instructions.

With King Wu's edict of surrender and the Tang army's strong military deterrence, the remnants of the Baekje army inside and outside Sihyun City quickly laid down their arms, even the naval army outside the city was no exception.

As this incident spread and King Mu's letter of surrender was sent to all parts of Baekje, most of the Baekje army laid down their arms and surrendered to the nearest Tang army, and a small number of diehards refused to surrender, only to be struck by Tiger Power with a large army, and it was through this cruel method that all kinds of discontent in Baekje were finally suppressed.

However, although Baekje was defeated, it does not mean that it is completely in the hands of Yi Su, not to mention the others for the time being, just a problem of eating is enough to make people feel a headache, after all, Baekje is a poorer country than Silla, after a year of conquest, the life of the people in Baekje is worse than Silla, and it is very common for people to starve to death, and it is in this situation that various uprisings in Baekje have occurred one after another, and they have not decreased slightly with the arrival of Li Su.

For this terrible situation, if it were someone else, I am afraid that the simplest and most direct way would be adopted, that is, to bring a large amount of grain from Datang to ease the tension in Baekje. It's a pity that it is Li Su who is in charge of Baekje now, and he will not have any mercy for this small country.

After learning about the situation in Baekje, Li Su did not have any intention of transporting grain at all, but like Silla, he recruited workers in Baekje, but because of the continuous uprisings in Baekje, the recruitment could only be carried out in some relatively safe places, and as for those areas that were unwilling to obey Li Su's orders, not only did they not have any chance of recruiting workers, but they would also face the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army, and a large number of prisoners obtained from the encirclement and suppression would be reduced to slavery and then sold to mines or plantations in various places.

In fact, for Silla and Baekje, Li Su originally had an attitude of treating them equally, but unfortunately Baekje was more unlucky, because of the national strength, Baekje was in turmoil, so he had to implement this policy of prosperity and disobedience, and the places that could recruit workers continued to remain peaceful, and the troubled places were surrounded and suppressed by the Tang army, and a large number of local people were reduced to slaves, so as to eliminate the contradictions in Baekje.

It was also in this way that Li Su quickly quelled the turmoil in Baekje, and during this period, there were also several cases of aristocratic rebellion in Silla, and as Li Su strengthened his control over Silla and Baekje, many Tang merchants began to pour into the two countries, wanting to take this opportunity to find business opportunities, and the increase in the number of Han Chinese further strengthened Li Su's control over these two places, forming a virtuous circle.

It is also worth mentioning that when Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui took Siyu City, the navy led by Lu Qing set sail again into the sea after frequent repairs, and went all the way to the east, entering the Tsushima Strait again, where a small opponent who had been clamoring for a decisive battle with them was waiting for them!
