When Li Ji talked about rewarding the Japanese allies, the expression on his face was as kind as that of an old man living in his neighbor's home.
Only Qi Bi He Li, who was beside him, had all the hairs on his body standing on end.
He knew that these warm and considerate words were actually a post from the Lord of Hell. Under the warm appearance, a dark wind was blowing.
Under the city wall of Jincheng in the distance, countless Japanese soldiers were still bravely climbing to the top of the city. The ladders were put up and pushed down by the Silla army defending the city. The Japanese soldiers screamed and fell, and another ladder continued to be put up, and they continued to fight fiercely. Not afraid of death.
Under the west city gate, the Japanese army had broken open the city gate. Thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed into the city gate like a flood bursting from the embankment.
The Silla army guarding the city gate looked desperate and resisted desperately. They knew that if the city gate was broken, they and the royal people in the city would die.
Jincheng is the capital of Silla, and it is also the only city that the leader of Silla can control now.
The destruction of the city meant that the Silla Kingdom had been destroyed, and the remaining land and cities had little ability to resist the Tang army.
Li Ji and Qibi Heli rode in front of the central army. As the siege battle progressed, the two veteran generals became more and more excited.
A loud arrow shot straight into the sky. After the sharp whistle, several houses in the city suddenly burst into flames. The Silla Army soldiers who were originally standing guard at the top of the city ran down the city in panic. The defense at the top of the city was suddenly much relaxed.
Li Ji stroked his beard and chuckled: "Liu A's four troops have launched an attack in the city, and there are about four to five thousand Japanese troops left. Haha, good!"
As he spoke, Li Ji lowered his face and shouted: "Send the order, the Chinese army will attack the city, use all firearms, and strive to capture the capital of Silla with minimal casualties."
"Old man Qibi, you personally lead an army and go straight to the Silla Palace immediately after the city is broken. You must capture the Silla leader Jin Famin and his royal family members alive. Don't let anyone escape. Your Majesty is still waiting to take these people as prisoners in the Ancestral Temple. "
Qibi He Li clasped his fists and responded in a deep voice, then turned his horse's head and prepared to order troops.
In the Tang army's formation outside the city, the rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed and became more rapid.
The two cavalrymen waved small black flags and rushed towards the city. The Japanese soldiers who were fighting a bloody battle to attack the city saw the two small flags and knew that their commander had ordered them to withdraw.
The thousands of Japanese soldiers alive were unwilling to give up. Seeing that they were about to break the city, at the last critical moment, they actually ordered them to withdraw and give the first victory to the Tang army. Who can be willing to do so?
The reward for breaking the city head is very high. However, the military orders are overwhelming. No matter how brave the Japanese army is, they are just little Karami in the eyes of the Tang army. If they dare to disobey Li Ji's military orders, the three-eyed guns behind them may immediately attack them. They opened fire.
So the unwilling Japanese army did not dare to disobey the order and withdrew obediently.
The Silla troops defending the city had not had a moment to rest. At the same time that the Japanese troops withdrew, the tidal wave of Tang troops rushed towards the city wall like a tsunami.
The scarred Silla army stood at the top of the city, their expression full of despair.
They knew that this capital city would be destroyed today and it would be impossible to hold it.
Physical strength and morale were on the verge of collapse, but the Tang army in the distance was full of physical strength, like a group of tigers that had just come down the mountain.
The Tang army that rushed towards the city wall stopped a hundred and fifty steps away. Countless three-eyed muskets were aimed at the city. With a loud noise and smoke rising, the Silla troops at the city's head were shot and fell to the ground.
Amidst rounds of gunfire, the soldiers of the Tang Army carried ladders and set them up on the top of the city.
Inside the west city gate, the Silla army and the Tang army fought to the death. The two sides fought fiercely for control of the city gate. The originally stalemate battle was replaced by the newly added Tang army who opened fire. Inside the crowded city gate, the Silla army The army fell to the ground, and the frightened enemy had to retreat.
Looking at the situation of the siege in the distance, as a veteran who had been fighting for half his life, Li Ji knew at a glance that today's siege was stable.
Within half an hour, the golden city will be destroyed.
So Li Ji looked at the retreating Japanese troops with relief.
The Japanese army was exhausted. After a siege, only about four to five thousand people survived. Almost all of these people were injured, and some could not even walk steadily.
Li Ji glanced at Bu Qu who was delivering the order next to him. Bu Qu understood and rode forward to meet Li Ji and convey Li Ji's general order.
The Japanese soldiers fought hard, and the general manager ordered the Japanese soldiers to withdraw to the east coast outside the city. He also prepared live sheep and fine wine for the Japanese soldiers to enjoy.
The Japanese soldiers did not doubt that he was there. When they heard that there were live sheep and fine wine, they immediately cheered and then followed the troops to the east coast.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers happily walking towards the gate of hell, Li Ji had a smile on his face.
An hour later, deafening cheers suddenly came from the top of Jincheng City. The royal flag representing the Silla Kingdom was removed from the arrow tower at the top of the city and replaced with a yellow dragon flag representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The dragon flag fluttered high in the air filled with gunpowder smoke and bloody smell. The top of the city was filled with bloody Tang army soldiers. They raised their weapons and roared and laughed wildly in the direction of Li Ji's Chinese army formation.
"Thank you, Chief Manager, for defeating Jincheng, the capital of Silla!"
…………
Chang'an, British government.
Jin Dayan stood in front of Cui Jie and Jin Xiang, her head lowered and pinching the corner of her clothes with an awkward look on her face, her expression awkward and nervous.
Cui Jie rolled her eyes angrily and said: "I thought you and my husband had already been in love, and what was supposed to happen has already happened, but I didn't expect... you two are actually innocent until now, are you going to laugh me to death? "
Kim Dayeon showed an uncomfortable expression.
This misunderstanding is a bit big. Cui Jie and Jin Xiang always thought that during the days when they were touring Luoyang with the queen to worship at the farm altar, only Li Qinzai and Jin Dayan were in the mansion. This Goguryeo goddess doctor was also a stunning beauty. How could they be alone and alone? Maybe the gun went off without cleaning it?
So after Cui Jie returned to Chang'an City, she acquiesced in her husband's relationship with Jin Dayan.
My husband is a prince of the current dynasty, and his identity and status determine that he cannot be too devoted all his life. This cannot be justified in terms of mentality and social reality.
Among the powerful families in Chang'an City, who doesn't have ten or eight concubines? There are only so many concubines with status, not counting the women who have no status but already have relationships, the maids of decent looks from wealthy families, Silla maids, brothel oirans, etc., there are even more.
In contrast, Li Qinzai's backyard was so empty. The main wife and concubines who always accompanied him were Cui Jie and Jin Xiang, plus a Japanese Kono Zenliang.
As for the purple slave who herded sheep in Qinghai Lake and was a female khan, Cui Jie had automatically excluded her. She suspected that the little bitch was prostituted by her husband for free. Eight thousand miles away is too much!
Cui Jie felt a little sorry for such a pure-hearted husband, and often reflected on whether she was too jealous, so that the backyard of Li's family was deserted and the population was not prosperous. To Cui Jie, this was a dereliction of duty on the part of a lady. , is a crime against the Li family ancestral hall.
Therefore, Cui Jie would not object at all to adding a Goguryeo goddess doctor to the backyard. Anyway, as long as the husband likes her, anyone can do it. As long as she can have children and strengthen the Li family's ancestral hall, it will be fine.
However, these days, Cui Jie watched with cold eyes and discovered a fact that left her speechless.
My husband and this goddess doctor were actually clean and nothing happened. They met each other every day and looked at each other very ambiguously. At night, they went back to their own houses and had nothing to do with each other. They neither used the gun nor fired.
This is so nonsense.
