Kim Yu-shin really can’t do it.
Li Qinzai's words did not confuse him. He understood Li Qinzai's full malice as soon as he heard it.
What about building a successful career, and what about being granted a wife and a wife? These words are so fresh and refined, don’t they just mean that we, the Silla Army, are going to die?
The Silla Army, which had less than 10,000 soldiers, usually sent food, grass, ordnance to the Tang Army, and followed the Tang Army to pick up bargains. The so-called "Allied Army", to put it bluntly, was actually a logistics army, with the same nature as the civilian soldiers recruited. .
It's okay to give away food and grass and get a bargain, but if we go to the battlefield and die... we haven't reached this level of friendship yet.
"No! The Silla army is too weak to fight. What's the difference between going to the battlefield and dying? The general will not be able to bring my Silla children to the gate of hell, and I can't explain to their parents, wives and children." Jin Yuxin said firmly.
Li Qinzai sneered: "After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, you Silla people have also taken a lot of advantage in the past few years, right? How much of Baekje's population have you robbed? How much of the property and food of the landlords and gentry have you robbed?" You didn’t take any less of the money and jewelry from the Baekje Palace’s warehouse, right?”
"What? Just take the benefits without doing anything. You have taken advantage of them. It is my duty, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, to do the work that will lead to death. What use are you allies?"
Jin Yuxin said in a cold tone: "If Commander Li wants to break the alliance with Silla, he can go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decide. But it is absolutely impossible for our Silla army to go to the battlefield!"
Li Qinzai's smile became colder and colder: "General Jin, you seem to have made a mistake. I want your Silla army to go to the battlefield. I am not discussing with you, but giving you a military order. Do you understand the military order? The order is like a mountain. , there will be no turning around.”
"You know better than anyone the consequences of disobeying the order. If you still dare to disobey the order, I don't mind killing all 10,000 of you Silla troops."
"What's the use of allies who can't share weal and woe? I really think that our Tang Dynasty lacks foresight and allows you to plunder the territory we have worked so hard to conquer."
"All the advantages you have taken have been quietly marked by our Tang Dynasty. Now, it's time for you to pay the price..."
Li Qinzai's eyes suddenly turned cold and he suddenly shouted: "Come here!"
Several tribesmen rushed in with their swords pressed and surrounded Jin Yuxin.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I can only aggrieve General Jin first. You send a confidant general to lead the Silla Army. After two hours, all Silla Army officers and soldiers must line up to wait for the enemy."
Jin Yuxin turned pale and hissed: "Li Shuai, how dare you hold the Allies hostage? I will go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be held accountable!"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, I'm idle now. You hurry up and write the memorial, but you have to arrange your confidants first. This person must be a confidant, otherwise he will escape on the battlefield and your life will be in danger." It’s over.”
Jin Yuxin said angrily: "I am not a minister of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you kill me?"
Li Qinzai looked at him with a smile and said, "Guess?"
Looking at Li Qinzai, who was smiling but with murderous eyes, Jin Yuxin looked horrified.
Does Li Qinzai dare to kill him?
The answer was cruel. He really dared. Jin Yuxin believed that as long as he was unhappy, he would dare to lead troops to attack the Silla Kingdom. He would even dare to kill the leader of the Silla Kingdom.
It is said that this man was highly valued by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what trouble he got into, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could save him. So, is it still a big deal to kill one or two ministers from a vassal country?
Seeing that Jin Yuxin's attitude finally softened, Li Qinzai patted his shoulder with relief.
"Now that the war is going on, I leave everything to General Jin. The command of the Silla Army is handed over to your generals. Let's watch the snow, the stars and the moon together in the rear, talking about poetry, songs, and philosophy of life..."
…………
Nearly 10,000 Silla troops were brought to the battlefield by a Silla general, and 40,000 young Japanese soldiers were brought to the battlefield with them.
Strictly speaking, the 40,000 Japanese young men were not an army. They were originally Japanese farmers. After Li Qinzai put down the Asuka City rebellion, the 40,000 Japanese farmers became prisoners of the Tang army.
These days, Liu Renyuan followed Li Qinzai's orders and trained them every day. For nearly a month, the 40,000 Japanese people finally looked like an army. The exercises such as formation formation and slashing are quite impressive.
But their true combat power cannot be mentioned at all.
Who can expect a captive army without faith to fight the enemy bravely?
The meaning of their existence is just to gather the number of people on the battlefield and appear to be a powerful military force. It is like a big boss bringing his younger brothers to negotiate. The more younger brothers there are, the more confidence they have in negotiating.
However, once the fight actually breaks out, which boss would be so stupid as to think that these little guys who have been put together will fight for the boss through life and death?
Nearly 50,000 Japanese and Silla troops were brought to the battlefield by the Tang army.
The land that had just been fought had been almost cleared by the Tang army. There was still blood on the ground, and occasionally broken limbs and arms forgotten by the Tang army could be seen.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses stood on the land where the battle had just taken place, watching in horror as more than 10,000 Tang troops quickly lined up, then divided into two groups, running towards the left and right flanks of the central formation.
The confused 50,000 soldiers and horses looked confused.
Looking at this posture, the Tang army seems to have placed them in the middle of the military formation. So, will he be the main force in the next battle?
The uneasy mood quickly spread among the crowd, and finally the courageous ones began to whisper and ask questions, and then someone shouted to the Tang Army generals who were pressing on the border formation.
The generals of the Tang Army who were holding the battle ignored them, and just looked far ahead with cold eyes.
The Japanese and Silla people became increasingly uneasy, the crowd began to commotion, and the newly formed formation gradually became chaotic.
Some timid people immediately turned around and ran towards the rear of the Chinese army.
If someone takes the lead, someone will follow, especially in the military, where one person's behavior can infect everyone in an instant.
So many people turned and ran away. They threw down their swords and halberds and ran towards the rear with all their strength.
In the rear army formation, two thousand soldiers of the Tang army were already prepared. When Wang Fangyi saw that the Japanese and Silla troops turned around and fled, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
"Fire the gun!" Wang Fangyi ordered.
There was a loud noise, and the Japanese and Luo soldiers who were escaping fell down. The people who were following behind were shocked. Before they could kneel down and beg for mercy, another round of gunshots was fired from the Tang army, and countless Japanese and Luo soldiers fell down again.
"Anyone who dares to fight, retreat and run away will be killed!" Wang Fangyi shouted in disbelief.
The bloody way of supervising the battle finally deeply shocked the soldiers of the two countries. Those who planned to escape had to return to the team array again, picked up their swords and halberds, and looked ahead with despair.
Wang Fangyi waved his hand and said: "The soldiers of the Tang Army push forward and drive these losers forward!"
The left and right flanks were pressed by Tang troops, and the rear was driven forward by two thousand Tang troops. The fifty thousand Japanese troops were like cattle and sheep on the grassland, advancing involuntarily.
