"Prince, be careful!"

Yi Ci never expected that there was someone in the Tang army who could shoot an arrow 180 steps away, so he had no defense against Xue Rengui's arrow. Fortunately, the guards around him reacted very quickly, and saw a cold light coming from the corner of his eye.

When the prince rushed over, he immediately stood up and stood in front of Yi Ci.

With a soft sound of "Chi~", this specially-made armor-piercing heavy arrow shot through the armor of the loyal guard at once, and even came out through the back. This shocked Yi Ci and the other guards around him.

Jump, and at the same time, all the guards roared, preparing to surround Yi Ci to guard against the opponent's sharp archers.

It's a pity that they didn't know that the person who shot this arrow was Xue Rengui, the famous marksman of the Tang Dynasty. Since he saw that Yi Ci was an important person, he naturally had more than this preparation. When his first arrow was shot,

Immediately after the second arrow, the third arrow also shot in front of Yi Ci like lightning.

Facing the two lightning-fast arrows from behind, neither Yici nor the guards around him had time to react. In the end, the guard who had been shot through by an arrow and was seriously injured roared again and jumped up again, using his shoulders desperately.

He blocked the second arrow, but at this time his body was also tilted to one side by the arrow, and the third arrow flew past his armor. In Yici's horrified eyes, he was struck by this third arrow.

Three arrows pierced his throat, leaving a cloud of blood behind him.

These three arrows may sound slow, but in fact they only take one or two seconds at most. They are really lightning fast. When Baekje came to their senses and looked at their prince Yiji, they saw a figure coming from the horseback.

It fell slowly and then hit the ground hard, sending up a cloud of gray dust.

"The prince...the prince was shot to death by the Tang army!" Seeing this scene in front of them, all the Baekje soldiers had this thought in their hearts. Yiji was not only the prince of Baekje, but also a very prestigious general in the army, but now he was

Xue Rengui was shot to death with one arrow, which had an immeasurable impact on Baekje's morale. Most of the Baekje soldiers even stood there in a daze, and the scene suddenly became strangely quiet.

However, this was a battlefield, and Xue Rengui obviously would not give the enemy any time to enter. After he shot Yici to death with three arrows, he rushed forward again brandishing Fang Yao's painted halberd. As soon as he came into contact with Baekje's former army, he immediately

After tearing a hole in the opponent's team, the Tang army immediately used Xue Rengui as an arrow to quickly expand the hole, and soon cut the nearly 3,000 Baekje troops outside the city into two sections.

Seeing Prince Yiji die in front of him, the morale of the Baekje army immediately fell to the bottom. Coupled with the encounter with the tiger-like Tang army, the Baekje soldiers had no fighting spirit. Therefore, Xue Rengui divided the army into

After two paragraphs, the entire army was immediately in a state of collapse. Although some Baekje generals wanted to regroup, their positions and prestige were too low, and no one was willing to listen to them.

Xue Rengui also saw the state of the Baekje army, and immediately ordered guards to be by his side. Then he used his bow again and killed several Baekje generals with a series of arrows.

Effective resistance could be organized, and a large number of Baekje soldiers began to flee.

Xue Rengui saw that the Baekje Army outside was no longer in danger, and the city gate guards were desperately closing the city gate. Unfortunately, the defeated Baekje Army was desperately squeezing into the city gate, resulting in the city gate being blocked.

, but could not be closed for a while. As a result, Xue Rengui immediately shouted: "My sons, follow me into the city!"

Following Xue Rengui's roar, his three thousand soldiers also roared and rushed towards the Sixian City Gate like a torrent of steel. As a result, the guards at the city gate had long been frightened by this ferocious Tang army. In addition,

The city gate could not be closed for a while, so everyone screamed in fear and then dispersed.

Xue Rengui would not be merciful to the Baekje army blocking the city gate. There was a bloody fight up there, and then he rushed into Sixian City on a mountain of corpses. However, after entering the city, Xue Rengui did not lead him to attack everywhere.

Instead, they first seized the city gate, and then cleared out the Baekje troops near the city gate, but they did not go deep into the city.

The reason for doing this is mainly because Xue Rengui knows that Sixi City is the capital of Baekje after all. Even if there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, there must be many more than the three thousand soldiers. If they attack by force, I am afraid they will

encounter extremely intense

The resistance, coupled with the narrowness of the city, greatly affected the overall combat effectiveness of the Tang army, so even if he could capture the entire city, he would still have to pay huge casualties in the end, and this is what His Highness the King of Qi least wants to see.

Condition.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Xue Rengui did not further expand the victory after he laid down the city gate. Instead, he held on while sending in to send news to Su Dingfang, asking their army to come over as soon as possible. By then, tens of thousands of troops would be divided into

If several groups advance together, Sixian City can definitely be conquered in a short period of time without paying a huge price.

Xue Rengui easily occupied a gate of Sixian City, and Lu Qing's navy also squeezed the Sixian navy into the water stronghold. Relying on the various fortifications in the water stronghold, they could barely compete with the Tang army. However, Su Dingfang's seven

However, the Qianbu soldiers had already landed on another beach. When they received a message from Xue Rengui,

When the news came, Su Dingfang was both surprised and happy. What surprised him was that Xue Rengui was so lucky. He happened to encounter the city sending reinforcements out of the city, but he was caught off guard. To his surprise, a city gate was knocked down, and then

It is almost equivalent to the entire city being in their hands.

The military situation was tense, and Su Dingfang did not waste any time after receiving the news. He immediately rushed to Sixian City with 7,000 Tang troops. Along the way, he encountered some defeated troops who had been disrupted by Xue Rengui, and naturally they were all easily dealt with.

When Su Dingfang's 7,000 troops rushed to the outside of Sixi City, Xue Rengui in the city was leading 3,000 Tang troops to engage in a fierce battle to seize the gate with the counterattacking Baekje army. Although Yici was killed, King Wu was very sad, but he

He also knew that if he couldn't find a way to take back the lost city gate, then for Baekje, today would be the day when the country would be destroyed.

Because of this, King Wu once again summoned more than 6,000 troops to supervise the battle in the rear, hoping to recapture the city gate before the main force of the Tang army arrived. However, Xue Rengui was not a vegetarian, although he had fewer troops than the opponent.

Half, but he fought the opponent vigorously and even had a slight upper hand.

When Su Dingfang's 7,000 troops rushed into the city, they immediately killed 6,000 Baekje troops and fled. With this vigor, Su Dingfang knocked down the royal palace in Sixi City in one fell swoop.

He killed King Wu Fuyu Zhang and many other princes and grandsons. Except for a few who escaped from the city, most of the royal family were taken prisoner. This battle can be said to be a complete victory.

After capturing Sixian City, Su Dingfang immediately forced King Wu to write a letter of surrender and asked him to order all the Baekje troops to surrender on the spot. Although King Wu was a charlatan when he was young, he is now an old man, and

The older you get, the more afraid you are of death, and the vigor you had when you were young has long been worn away by the luxurious life, so no matter how unwilling Fuyu Zhang was, he still did everything Su Dingfang ordered in the end.

With King Wu's surrender edict and the powerful force of the Tang army as a deterrent, all the remaining Baekje troops inside and outside Sixi City quickly laid down their weapons, including the naval forces outside the city.

It can be said that the plan to attack Sixi City went very smoothly and achieved the expected results. As this incident spread and King Wu's letter of surrender was sent to various parts of Baekje, most of the Baekje troops laid down their weapons.

, surrendered to the nearest Tang army, and there were also a small number of die-hards who refused to surrender, but they were all given a thunderous blow by Huli and his army. It was through this cruel method that all the dissatisfaction in Baekje was finally eliminated.

It was forced down.

However, although Baekje was defeated, it does not mean that it is completely controlled by Li Min. Let’s not mention other things for the time being. Just the problem of eating is enough to give me a headache. After all, Baekje is a more powerful person than Silla.

It is a poor country. After a year of conquest, the life of the people in Baekje was worse than that of Silla, and starvation to death was very common. It was under this circumstance that various uprisings in Baekje

It was one after another, and it did not abate with the arrival of Li Min.

Regarding this bad situation, if it were another person, I am afraid that the simplest and most direct method would be adopted, which is to transport a large amount of grain from the Tang Dynasty to ease the domestic tension in Baekje. Unfortunately, the one who controls Baekje now is

Li Min, he will not be kind to this small country.

After Li Min learned about the domestic situation in Baekje, he had no plans to transport grain at all. Instead, like Silla, he recruited workers in Baekje. However, due to the continuous uprisings in Baekje, the recruitment of workers could only be done in some relatively small areas.

safe place

As for those areas that were unwilling to obey Li Min's orders, not only did they not have any opportunities to recruit workers, but they also faced encirclement and suppression by the Tang army. A large number of prisoners obtained during the encirclement and suppression were turned into slaves and then sold to mines or plantations in various places.

.

In fact, Li Min originally had an equal attitude towards Silla and Baekje. Unfortunately, Baekje was more unlucky. Due to national strength, Baekje was experiencing constant domestic turmoil, so he had to implement this policy of prospering those who follow the rule and those who go against it.

, the places where workers could be recruited continued to remain peaceful, while the troubled places were surrounded and suppressed by the Tang army, and a large number of local people were made into slaves, in order to eliminate the domestic conflicts in Baekje.

It was also by this method that Li Min quickly calmed down the unrest in Baekje. During this period, several noble rebellions also occurred in Silla, and he was asked to use the same method to deal with them.

As Li Min's control over Silla and Baekje strengthened, many Tang merchants began to pour into the two countries, hoping to take this opportunity to find business opportunities. The increase in the number of Han immigrants further strengthened Li Min's control over these two countries.

The control of the land forms a virtuous cycle.

It is also worth mentioning that after Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui captured Sixian City, the navy led by Lu Qing repaired frequently and set sail again into the sea, heading eastward and entering the Tsushima Strait again, where there was a previous

The little opponent clamoring for a decisive battle with them is waiting for them!
