Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On a road covered with ice and snow, a team was advancing rapidly. The people in the team were all wearing the uniforms of the Silla army. It looked like it should be the regular army of Silla. Moreover, the team could not see the edge at a glance, so it was probably even  Less than 10,000 people, not much different.

    However, the composition of this Silla army is really not very good. Most of them are composed of old and weak from head to tail. Only the middle part is composed of young adults. However, the number of these young adults is not large. It is estimated that they only account for the entire  About a third of the team.

    "Bah!" On a luxury carriage in the middle of the team, a young man punched the carriage hard and roared with a distorted face: "Why, why do we have to escape? Although there are more than 20,000 people on the other side, if  We occupied Jincheng before, and with the tall walls of Jincheng, it was not certain who would win!"

    The young man who spoke was naturally Jin Chunqiu who was running away, but as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Gengxin, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, sneered: "Guardian, have you forgotten the lesson of Goguryeo? The Tang Dynasty has the advantage of gunpowder.  , any kind of fortified city in front of them, it is only a matter of time to conquer it, and with these nine thousand old and weak people in our hands, do you think we can compete with the Tang Dynasty's 20,000 army?"

    When Jin Gengxin mentioned gunpowder, Jin Chunqiu's face suddenly darkened, and even a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. When he was at the gate of Pyongyang, he had witnessed the Tang army's duel with the Goguryeo army using gunpowder. That kind of  The scene of blood and flesh caused him to have nightmares for several days, and he still felt a little palpitated when he thought about it.

    However, Jin Chunqiu still refused to give up and argued forcefully: "Then there is no need for us to escape. That King of Qi wants to control Silla, so he must act hypocritically, so even if he knows that we are disobedient to him,  But he doesn¡¯t dare to do anything to us, after all, if he touches us, he means touching the royal family of Silla, and the whole of Silla will be hostile to him.¡±

    Jin Gengxin heard these nonsense from Jin Chunqiu.  But he sighed secretly, and had to say that his brother-in-law really took him too seriously. Now Silla was in chaos, and the country could almost be described as people living in dire straits. If it were at this time, even if Li Min took them  If the two of them were killed, it would definitely not arouse much public outrage.  Even as long as the other party provides some food to win people's hearts, Li Min's reputation in Silla will greatly increase. As for the life and death of the two of them, no one will care at all.

    Although he secretly scolded Jin Chunqiu for being stupid, Jin Gengxin patiently explained: "Chunqiu, the backhand we left in Kinmen City has been exposed. Li Min and Jin Shengman already knew that it was us, and with Li Min  With his character, he will definitely not let us go, even if there is no evidence. But as long as the other party takes control of Jincheng, they will definitely attack us secretly. So instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to bring the troops out and give it a try."

    When Jin Gengxin said this, he sighed and said again: "Originally, I sent people at the city gate to stop Li Min from entering the city, just to test their attitude towards us, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't care at all. Not only did they kill our people, but also  They also occupied the city gates. It can be seen from this that Li Min is an unscrupulous person. If we don't escape, when they control all the city gates, we will really become a turtle in the urn."

    When Jin Chunqiu heard this, there was a look of panic on his face. At the same time, he also thought that when he was in Pyongyang City, he had a conflict with the Tang soldiers. It was this Qi King Li Min who ordered people to arrest him for the sake of peace.  He suffered a lot and was finally released.

    "Brother, now that we have escaped, Jin Shengman will most likely accuse us of rebelling. If so, where should we go?" Jin Chunqiu had given up his point of view and began to worry about the future.

    "Hmph! If you want to rebel, you will rebel. Ten miles away from here is Dingchuan City, an important town next to Jincheng. It is still under my control. When we get there, I will immediately support you as the King of Silla and fight against the Tang Dynasty's invasion of Silla.  flag, we still don¡¯t know who will win when the time comes.¡±

    Seeing that Jin Gengxin had already planned it, Jin Chunqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had a backbone for a moment, but then he thought of another question and said uneasily: "Brother, I remember that Dingchuan City was in  The south of Jincheng is just on the road to the battlefield with Baekje, so most of the troops there have been mobilized. There are not many troops in the city at all. Even if we are added to it, I am afraid they will not be able to stop the attack of the Tang army.  Bar?"

    Jin Gengxin said somewhat silently upon hearing this: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty has one of the most powerful military forces. Even if the opponent only has more than 20,000 people, we can't stop their offensive with all the strength of our country. However, I do not intend to fight with them."  The Tang army fought head-on in Silla, and after we arrived at Jungcheon, we immediately retreated southward without stopping. If that doesn't work, we will go directly to Baekje!"

    "Baekje!" Jin Chunqiu was a little unbelievable.He was surprised and said, "We Silla and Baekje are feuding. As a royal family, if we take refuge in Baekje, I'm afraid we will be ridiculed by the whole world!"

    "Hmph, if you don't go to Baekje, do you have a better place to go?" Jin Gengxin said with a displeased look.

    "This" Jin Chunqiu also fell silent. The world is huge, but in this world, apart from surrendering to Baekje, it seems that there is really no place for them anymore.

    But at this moment, Jin Gengxin and the two suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the carriage. When they opened the door and took a look, they found a spy horse galloping towards them. When they reached the carriage, they dismounted and knelt down to report:  "General Qi, a cavalry force of about 3,000 people is chasing from behind. Judging from their weapons and armor, they should be Tang troops!"

    "What!" Jin Gengxin was shocked after hearing this. According to his thinking, after entering Jincheng, Li Min would definitely be busy occupying various important departments, and then stabilize the people in the city. He should not have the energy to pursue him, but he did not expect that Li Min would  He and Jin Chunqiu took it so seriously that they even sent a cavalry to pursue it.

    "Brother, what should we do? The elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, just like us, will definitely be slaughtered?" Jin Chunqiu also said with an expression of a masterless keeper. The last time he was caught by Li Min,  There is Kinderman to save him, but Kinderman is dead. If he is caught again this time, no one can save him.

    Jin Gengxin was worthy of being a leader. After a brief shock, he quickly regained his composure. After thinking calmly for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said with determination: "Pass my order to all the troops."  Divide into two groups, with Hua Daolang clearing the way for the front group, and rush to Dingchuan City as soon as possible, while the rest will stay here to break up the rear!"

    The purpose of Jin Gengxin's order is very simple. In his opinion, what he has in his hands is basically an elite group of three thousand flower priests. As for the six thousand old and weak people brought out from Jincheng, they have no big effect at all. Rather than leaving them to waste  It is better to leave them here for military rations. Anyway, the ice and snow are still there, and the road is not very wide. With them blocking here, they can at least block the Tang army for a while, and buy them time to escape.

    And Jin Chunqiu didn't care about the life or death of those soldiers. As soon as he heard Jin Gengxin's order, he immediately urged people to do it. Jin Gengxin integrated Hua Daolang himself. Then he and Jin Chunqiu also rode horses and began to rush forward desperately, and  Several of his confidants were left behind, urging the six thousand old and weak men left behind to organize their troops and plan to stop the Tang army.

    And just about a quarter of an hour after Jin Gengxin's three thousand people left, suddenly the sound of hoofbeats on the road behind them was loud, and then a murderous cavalry rushed over waving their horses. Seeing such a fierce horse,  A fierce team, the six thousand old and weak Silla soldiers were all scared and pale, and many even threw away their weapons, turned around and started running.  After all, most of them have only been recruited for a few months and have not even completed the most basic military training. In addition, they are old and young, so when facing the Tang Dynasty cavalry like tigers and wolves, running away is just instinct.  body reaction.

    Although Jin Gengxin's confidant generals tried their best to restrain them, these old and weak people were really useless. Before the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty arrived, their formation had already changed into a mess. When the two armies came into contact, they immediately set off a fierce battle.  There was a bloody storm, and hearing the screams of the companions behind them, the Silla soldiers in front naturally ran faster.

    Huli took the lead. After sweeping away the Silla soldiers in front of him with a stick, he spotted a general-looking man behind him and rushed over with his hands on the horse's belly. The Silla general saw this Tang army general who was like a blood demon god of war rushing towards him.  , was immediately frightened to death, and just wanted to turn around and run away, but unexpectedly, he was pushed over from the horse by Hu Li.

    "Tell me! Where are Jin Gengxin and Jin Chunqiu?" Hu Li shouted loudly.  The reason why he caught this general was because he knew that almost everyone in the upper echelons of Silla could speak Chinese, and he had no problem communicating with them.

    This general was not Jin Gengxin¡¯s confidant, but was forced out of Jincheng, so he didn¡¯t hide anything at all and hurriedly pointed out the direction of Jin Chunqiu¡¯s escape.

    After hearing this, Huli immediately threw the man out, then waved the iron rod in his hand and shouted: "Jin Chunqiu is not here, you guys will rush over with me!"

    "Here!"

    The Tang cavalry in the rear roared angrily and began to charge forward without stopping. The remaining old and weak Silla soldiers also learned the lesson. Everyone rushed to hide on both sides of the road, for fear of blocking the Tang army's path and losing their lives.  As a result, when Hu Li and the others rushed over, although there were screams on the road, not many people died. Most of them were injured by the cavalry because they could not dodge.
