Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Time passed little by little.

I'm afraid I can no longer count on the army to come to the king's defense. The Yue Kingdom is doomed. Am I, Murong Zhengming, destined to become a king of a fallen country?

No, no, no, even if I die, I, Murong Zhengming, will never surrender to the Kingdom of Yan. Currently, there should be less than 80,000 Yan troops besieging Kyoto. We must fight our way out of the city at all costs before the Yan troops return to Kyoto. This should be my last chance.

"Eunuch Cao, what time is it now?"

Cao Chun hurried forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, it is just past midnight."

"There is still an hour and a half between the third quarter of the night and the first hour. I still have a chance. Eunuch Cao, summon Tiger Guard Captain Mo Wuji to see you immediately."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned around and left the imperial study room quickly...

Murong Zhengming's intention was very clear. Gao Yanqing, Chen Shiheng, and Wan Tiankui all stepped forward and saluted, "We swear to follow your majesty to break through the siege until our death."

Murong Zhengming nodded and said, "Lord Chen, in your opinion, which city gate is the most suitable for breaking out?"

Chen Shiheng cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, the West Gate is the most suitable. Outside the West Gate is the mountainous area. As long as the army enters the mountain, the Yan army will not be able to find us in a short time."

"But before we break out from the West Gate, we'd better send troops to pretend to break out from the South Gate to attract the Yan army outside the West Gate to support the South Gate. When the Yan army outside the West Gate is at its weakest, we can break out in one fell swoop."

Murong Zhengming nodded and said, "Lord Chen, your strategy of attacking the west from the south is very good. This matter is settled. The three ministers should return to the palace and prepare. We will meet at the west city gate later."

"I obey the order! I resign!"

Gao Yanqing, Chen Shiheng and Wan Tiankui all bowed and left the imperial study together.

Not long after the three of them left, Cao Chun led Mo Wuji in hurriedly from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Murong Zhengming raised his hand quickly, "Sir Mo, please don't be polite. Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming nodded and said, "Lord Mo, I have decided to break out from the west city gate tonight. You must immediately order all the Tiger Guards to assemble at the west city gate."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Mo Wuji bowed, turned around and quickly left the imperial study.

"Eunuch Cao, please convey my order. Except for the provincial troops defending the north and east gates, all other provincial troops should gather at the south gate. You will personally supervise the breakout."

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

For this breakout, Murong Zhengming did not plan to bring along any civil or military officials, and even the concubines and princesses in the harem were not among his considerations.

The situation was urgent, so Murong Zhengming ordered people to invite the queen, took the gold and silver treasures from the national treasury and hurried out of the palace. On the way, he ordered people to notify the crown prince, Prince Jin, and Prince Rui, and then rushed directly to the west gate.

After Gao Yanqing, Chen Shiheng and Wan Tiankui returned home, they brought their core clansmen and gold and silver jewelry to the west city gate. When they left, they did not even notify their colleagues who lived nearby.

The large-scale mobilization of the Vietnamese army naturally could not be concealed from the secret agents of the Jingjiansi lurking in the city. After they got the news, they immediately reported it to the higher authorities.

In an ordinary house under the north city wall, Lu Dongyuan was analyzing the intelligence coming from various streets in the city. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the Vietnamese army was going to break out, and that they were going to split into two groups and break out from the two southwest city gates.

The situation was urgent, so Lu Dongyuan immediately decided to notify the Yan army outside the city. He stood up and walked quickly to the backyard, then climbed up the city wall along the rope...

Ever since Lin Feng left with the 110,000 troops of the Tiger Guards, the Thousand Bull Guards, and the Feitian Battalion, the Yan army outside the city has been on high alert. All the soldiers on duty kept a close eye on the city gates, always on guard against a breakout by the Yue army.

For this purpose, Yan's army also adopted a two-shift guard system, with the provincial army and navy on duty during the day, and the musket battalion and artillery battalion on duty at night.

After Cao Chun left the imperial study, he immediately ordered his eunuchs to convey Murong Zhengming's imperial edict to the provincial armies in various states in the city, and then took a carriage directly to the South Gate.

After receiving the news, Hou Dong, the general of Qingzhou who was guarding the south gate, hurried out from the tower to greet him and bowed respectfully, "General Cao, I am sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. Please forgive me!"

Cao Chun waved his hand quickly, "General Hou, there is no need to be polite. His Majesty has an order, please accept it!"

Hou Dong cupped his hands again, "I accept your order!"

"Your Majesty's order, according to reliable intelligence from Fengyutai, the main force of the Yan army outside the city has already moved south to ambush our army to defend the king. At this time, there are less than 50,000 defenders outside the city. This is a good opportunity for our army to break out. Order Qingzhou General Hou Dong to lead his troops out of the city immediately to fight the Yan army. I decree this!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

"Deputy General Shi, gather all the troops immediately and follow me out of the city to fight against the Yan army."

"Yes, General!"

Soon, 10,000 Gyeongju troops stood in neat rows at the South City Gate.

"squeak……"

The South City Gate slowly opened, and Hou Dong led his soldiers out first...

The defenders at the South Gate left their posts and gathered at the gate. Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the Yan army outside the city.

When the artillery battalion's major general Cheng Zhigang received the news, he quickly came to the command platform, clasped his hands together, saluted, and said loudly: "Report to General Cheng, the defenders of the south wall suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid the Vietnamese army is trying to break through."

Cheng Tianhu was dozing off on the command platform when Cheng Zhigang's voice startled him awake. He immediately stood up from his chair and said, "Have the soldiers ready for battle. Aim all muskets and artillery at the city gates. We must not let any Vietnamese soldiers leave the city."

"Yes, General Cheng!"

Cheng Zhigang bowed, turned around and left quickly...

The war was about to start, and Cheng Tianhu immediately became alert. He quickly walked down from the command platform and came to the front line of the artillery battalion. He raised the telescope and looked at the city wall. The originally densely packed Vietnamese soldiers were now gone.

After a while, the south gate slowly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city. Upon seeing this, Cheng Tianhu shouted, "Artillery Battalion, fire immediately."

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

At Cheng Tianhu's command, one hundred artillery pieces at the South Gate fired at the city gate. The Vietnamese army, which had just rushed out of the city gate, suffered heavy losses in an instant when they were attacked by the artillery. The Vietnamese army, which escaped the disaster, continued to charge towards the Yan army's position.

As soon as the Vietnamese army rushed into the range of the muskets, Cheng Tianhu immediately shouted: "The musket battalion will fire immediately."

"Boom bang bang..."

"Ah ah ah..."

"Hiss..."

Three thousand musketeers fired at the same time, and the Vietnamese cavalry who had escaped the disaster were shot and fell to the ground one after another. The screams of people and the roars of horses began to sound, and the tragic battle of breaking out and counter-breaking out officially began...

The Vietnamese troops continued to pour out from the city gate and charged towards the Yan army's positions without hesitation. However, under the powerful firepower of the Yan army, all the Vietnamese troops leaving the city fell on the way to the charge.

The city gate was still too narrow, and the Vietnamese army could not carry out a large-scale charge. They could only send small teams of cavalry out of the city to fight. This kind of refueling tactic was tantamount to giving away lives in front of the Yan army that had bombs, muskets and artillery.
