Tang's dining table

When the conspiracy shrouded the land of Baekje like a dark cloud.

Li Ji commanded Tang soldiers and horses to launch a massive offensive in Goguryeo, driving the Silla people across the Zhu River in one fell swoop.

Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, took the lead in crossing the Huishui River (Datong River) and defeated 16,000 Silla troops led by Silla guard Ping Shiluo at Nanhan Mountain, and conquered Suichuan in one fell swoop.

After conquering Suichuan, Cheng Mingzhen's army did not stop, but cut Kangcheng horizontally like a giant pair of scissors.

The Tang Dynasty warrior Xue Rengui also broke through the water in Changkou Town. With the help of gunpowder, he blew the heavily guarded Haicheng into ruins. He didn't even have time to count the results of the battle, and just cut eastward like a big pair of scissors. Xiangjinpingcheng.

Pei Xingjian defeated Yangkou, and Guo Daifeng defeated Dahu. The scissors always started from the south of Silla. After they succeeded, they did not go all the way south, but cut horizontally until they reached the sea in the east.

This time, Li Ji no longer hid gunpowder and began to really use it. He led the central army, with Gao Kan on the left and Qibi Heli on the right. They could only march thirty miles a day.

But like a rotating hurricane, the Zhansai, Wugu, Shuigu, Dagu, Ucen, Bile and other cities occupied by the Silla people were ground into powder.

At the same time, Su Dingfang's army also attacked and advanced from Daemucheng in the southernmost part of Baekje to Munu, Guowon and other cities in Silla.

Yunchu felt that the Tang Dynasty's final victory over Jilin Prefecture and the invasion of Silla Jincheng was just a matter of time, and there could be no surprise.

Although the people of Silla were very tenacious at this time, many Silla nobles also gave up their superior status and actively participated in the defense of the city and fought with the Tang army in the field, but the consequences were not very good.

A Silla city guard named Cheng Ji, when the Tang army came to the city, knowing that he was outnumbered, he killed his parents, wife and children with a knife. After the city wall was blown down, he took the three thousand remaining soldiers in the city with him. The Tang army fought, and in the end, all of them died.

This approach has become a common practice among Silla nobles. Therefore, the furious advance of the Tang army at the beginning of the Silla War disappeared.

The war entered a state of fierce competition. Every pass, every cliff, every city, and eventually every village required war to pacify.

Li Ji seemed to have expected this level of resistance from the Silla people, so a large number of thunder bombs and gunpowder were sent to the front of the army.

In Li Ji's view, no matter how hard people's hearts are, they will be destroyed by the bombardment of gunpowder.

When Yunchu finished reorganizing his army, spring in Baekje arrived.

In Baekje, the news of the arrival of spring is a large number of seagulls. These birds are obviously not migratory birds, but when the spring breeze blows, they swarm the seaside in dense numbers.

This time in previous years was a good time for Baekje fishermen to go into the sea to catch fish. Since the war began, any fishing boat floating on the sea will be mercilessly sunk by warships from various countries.

Now that the war has progressed to 60%, the sea has not gradually calmed down, but has become increasingly dangerous.

Goguryeo's navy has completely turned into pirates, part of Baekje's navy has also turned into pirates, and Silla's navy is attacking like moths to a flame, harassing the Tang army's water supply routes.

In the middle, there were even a large number of Japanese ships. They seemed to have no accurate target at sea. As long as they saw a lone ship, no matter which side it was, they would pounce on it and bite it.

With black teeth, Sha Zha Xiangru's army has reached 30,000 people. Now they are sweeping from north to south, and the Baekje people in other places are already looking forward to them.

At the beginning, the Baekje cities that Jin Yuxin and Jin Famin worked so hard to capture were being abandoned one by one by the Silla people. They even sent envoys to discuss the possibility of jointly resisting the Tang army with the new king of Baekje, Heiji Changzhi.

The only cities that the always fierce Tang army could really control were Sixian City where Yunchu was located, and Xiongjin City where Liu Rengui was located.

The situation in Baekje has undergone fundamental changes, which led Li Ji, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, to ask about Baekje's situation for three days.

And every time Yunchu gave Li Ji an answer, he was always under control.

Although Li Ji was anxious, he still believed in Yun Chu. However, when he gave the attack orders to the Eastern Expedition army, each one was more urgent and harsher than the last.

The root of Baekje's rebellion lies in the royal family and nobles of Baekje. As long as they still exist, even if Baekje is pacified now, it won't take long. As long as the Buyeo royal family who went to Japan returns to Baekje, the rebellion will still break out.

Only by letting the army of farmers and slaves led by Heiji Changzhi completely sweep Baekje and completely eradicate the former Buyeo royal family and nobles, will Baekje usher in a complete peace.

Yunchu's 15,000-strong army left Sixian City and marched to Xiongjin City to join Liu Rengui.

Less than thirty miles after Yunchu's army left Sixi City, the flag of the Prayer Army was hoisted on top of Sixi City.

Yun Chu's army was heading towards Hei Te Changzhi's team, but the two armies had a tacit understanding to get out of the way of each other and did not meet each other. One slowly moved northward, while the other went southward like a meteor.

In a small fishing village less than a hundred miles away from Xiongjin City, Yunchu was sitting in a broken fishing boat that was lifted to the shore.

The dilapidated fishing boat was kept very clean and even covered with thick woolen blankets.

Amid the tireless cries of seagulls, Yun Chu lit a small red clay stove, and the dried pine cones burned cracklingly, and occasionally one or two shriveled pine nuts popped out.

After the sea receded, two sturdy men walked on the shiny wet beach. The light on the beach at this time was discernible. Their heavy footprints had just left a footprint on the beach, which was soon covered by a layer of water light. After a wave came, it disappeared.

Seeing Yun Chu making tea, Hei Te Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru jumped into the broken boat. After drinking a cup of tea, Hei Te Changzhi said to Yun Chu: "Do you need us brothers to come back now? "

Yunchu shook his head and said: "I invite you two here this time not to warn you or to call you back because you have become more powerful, but to tell you that even if you let go, what can the Baekje people do? It’s up to you if you can’t get out of the quagmire of war and move towards great governance.”

Hei Qichang said: "Yes, don't say that others will think wildly. Even I sometimes ask myself whether I can still keep my heart."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Can you still hold on?"

Black Teeth Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru looked at each other and nodded in unison: "If there is another big war, the Baekje people will perish in this world."

Sha Zha Xiangru said: "The Tang Dynasty is too powerful, especially the thunder and fire bombs used by the army in the Eastern Expedition, which are beyond the power of human beings."

Yun Chu took out a home-made thunder and fire bomb from his arms and handed it to the two of them for a look.

"Can this little thing blow open the city wall?"

Sha Zha Xiangru looked at the Thunder Fire Bomb carefully and was so surprised that he couldn't help himself.

Yun Chu used the flames on the small stove to light the thunder bomb and threw it away.

A moment later, there was a loud noise where the thunder bomb landed, and sand splashed, and then the beach burst into flames. In the horrified eyes of Black Teeth Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru, waves crashed onto the beach.

I thought that the waves would extinguish the blazing flames, but who would have imagined that the flames miraculously floated on the waves and dispersed into dots of fire. It was not until the waves retreated that the dots of fire slowly extinguished...or rather, unlike It is extinguished, as if entering the depths of the sea.

After reading it, Hei Te Changzhi sighed lightly and said: "Silla is finished."

Yun Chu said: "Originally there was no such an Eastern Expedition, and even if there was, it would only be several years or decades later.

Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, it was not so arrogant that it could annihilate and pacify Goguryeo in just one battle.

The Tang Dynasty will still send small groups of troops to harass and exhaust Goguryeo as it did in previous years. Unless it encounters a situation that is extremely powerful for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will send troops to destroy Goguryeo and wash away the shame from the pre-Sui Dynasty to the present. "

Sha Zha Xiangru said: "The appearance of this thing gave the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty the confidence to launch a large-scale eastward expedition at this time?"

Yun Chu said: "Pyongyang City is so solid and majestic, but after the first time the hero used this thing, it was instantly reduced to ruins.

Heng Yuan, loyalty, from the moment this thing appeared, the way of war changed.

I would like to call it the end of the cold weapon era.

In the past, when we fought, we mainly used swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, and crossbows. We mainly relied on the strength of our personal force, and even on the soldiers' confidence that they would win.

Since the emergence of this thing, a terrifying situation has arisen in which a young child can easily kill a strong man in full armor.

What’s even more frightening is that this thing is only in a prototype state so far, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

I don't know where the ultimate power of this thing lies. "

Black Teeth Changzhi sighed: "This will make war very boring and even more cruel."

Yun Chu threw the last pine cone into the stove and waited for the tea in the copper kettle to boil. "Let's end the war as soon as possible. I already miss my wife, children and my Chang'an at home very much."

Sha Zha Xiangru, whose teeth were always black, looked at the undisguised tiredness on Yun Chu's face, then each picked up their teacups and said: "End the war as soon as possible."

When I met Liu Rengui again in Xiongjin City, the little old man's hair was already mostly white.

"Baekje is going to be lost."

Liu Rengui saw the situation in front of him very clearly and had his own understanding.

"If it is not destroyed or established, you will see a new Xiongjin Governor's Palace, and you will see that Baekje will be controlled by our emperor like other state capitals in the Tang Dynasty."

Yun Chu was still smiling and seemed not to care about the predicament in front of him.

"Black Teeth Changzhi is like Sha Zha, one on the left and one on the right are horns. The army is already strong. It will be even more difficult to destroy them."

Liu Rengui felt that he needed to warn Yun Chu that the already established army was by no means comparable to the ordinary rabble.

"Don't worry and go to sea. The chaos in Baekje will soon subside."
