Chapter 80 The Mountains

Kim Yu-shin has absolute confidence in the combat power of the Tang army, especially the elite under Su Dingfang. As long as it is of equal geographical advantage, the Baekje army is definitely not a match for the Tang army.

In order to conquer the city and to smooth out the disadvantages of territorial advantage, Su Dingfang decided to pile up dirt mountains to attack Siqian City. This greatly reduced the disadvantages of the Tang army, and could even turn inferior to superiors, greatly reducing the casualties of the Tang army, but in this way, the casualties and pressure were transferred to the Silla army.

Kim Yu-shin naturally didn't want to take this matter, but Kim Yu-shin had already spoken out before. It might not be possible to rush to the Silla Army in the last battle, but it would still be possible to use some brute force. Is this pile of earth mountain matter not within the scope of brute force? Moreover, if Su Ding-fang's military order was ordered, if he dared not do it, Su Ding-fang would never spare him easily.

In desperation, Kim Yu-shin had to accept Su Dingfang's military order and take on the task of building Tushan outside Siqian City.

But if you want to build Tushan, what will happen overnight? Even if most of Silla's 50,000 troops pounce on it, it will take at least twenty days. Fortunately, Linshan in Siwei City is not difficult to find materials, and it also saves a lot of effort for Kim Yu-shin and Silla's army.

Eight days later, under the city of Siqi.

Kim Yu-shin rode his horse to outside Si-Ye Town. Looking at the progress of the Tushan Mountain outside the city, he felt that the mountain seemed not built outside the city, but in his heart, and his heart was suppressed and uncomfortable.

"Brother is here." As soon as Kim Yu-sun appeared, Kim Chin-chung, who was in charge of the construction of Tushan, saw Kim Yu-sun and went up to worship.

Kim Qin-chun is Kim Yu-sun's younger brother and is one of the most famous generals in Silla. Kim Qin-chun has been following Kim Yu-sun since she was a child and has a very close relationship with Kim Yu-sun.

Kim Yu-sun asked, "How is this mountain built?"

Jin Qinchun replied: "The progress is OK. If nothing unexpected happens, the general's explanation will definitely be completed within 20 days."

Jin Yuxin said: "That's good. Su Dingfang is not easy to deal with. Don't let him seize the handle and blame us."

Jin Qinchun responded: "Brother, don't worry, I know the importance."

After confirming the progress of Duishan Mountain, Kim Yu-shin continued to ask: "How are our army killed and injured these days?"

Jin Qinchun replied: "This earthen mountain is a bit close to the city wall. The arrow rain on the city often harasses. Although the soldiers are wearing armor and shields, there will inevitably be casualties. There are more than a thousand people in the past few days."

Kim Yu-shin frowned and said, "In just a few days, more than a thousand people were killed or injured. In a few days, when the earthen mountains are getting higher and higher and closer to the city wall, there will be more casualties. You must remind the soldiers under your command to never relax and be careful."

Jin Qinchun replied: "Don't worry, brother, I will remember this matter, but there is one more thing, brother needs to make plans early."

"What's the matter?" Kim Yu-sun asked.

Jin Qinchun replied: "In recent days, the Tang army has traveled around Siqian City, captured and surrendered many cities, and made a lot of gains from food, grass, gold and silver. However, our Silla soldiers can only pile up mountains here and do some cool labor. The soldiers in the army have complained a lot about Baekje and even the Tang army."

In the past few days, the Silla army has piled up earth mountains outside Siqi City and prepared to attack the city. The Tang army is not idle either. Liu Boying and his soldiers guerrillas everywhere, and have captured six or seven cities in the Baekje Royale. The surrounding area of ​​the Baekje Royale is rich, so the Tang army has also captured a lot in the past few days. It is indeed much more comfortable than the Silla army that has piled up mountains under Siqi City.

It is natural to understand that the complaints of Kim Yu-shin in the army are too big, and anyone who sees them will be jealous, but this matter cannot be blamed on others. Previously, Kim Yu-shin belittled the combat power of the Silla Army in order to preserve his strength, so he got this job that he didn't have to go to battle. Now he can't regret it.

Kim Yu-sun said: "You must comfort the soldiers in this matter. You can complain about Baekje, but you must not have a conflict with the Tang army. Now is not the time to turn against the Tang army."

If Kim Yu-shin's plan was based on Kim Yu-shin's plan, the best result of this battle was that Su Dingfang's army would win the victory in Baekje and destroy the country, and Lee Ji and Goguryeo in the north fought each other and suffered heavy casualties. This was the best time for Silla to benefit from it. Not only could they occupy Baekje, but they could even unify the Three Koreans. However, now the Tang army is in full swing, so naturally they cannot be punished.

Kim Yu-shin thought for a while and then continued, "You can send out the news privately and tell the soldiers that Si-hyun is the capital of Baekje and is the richest. When the city of Si-hyun is destroyed in the future, I will allow them to rob the city for three days to repay their achievements today."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qinchun nodded and said, "If this is possible, it is the best. We have an explanation with the soldiers."

Silla and Baekje are enemies. The plunder and even massacre of Baekje's capital did not have any psychological pressure on the Silla soldiers, but instead inspire the morale of the army. With this promise, Kim Qinchun could also stabilize the current situation.

Kim Yu-shin was looking at the progress of Tushan outside Si-san. At this moment, Kim Yu-shin's deputy general Kim Moon-young suddenly came quickly from the direction of the camp, looking hurried, obviously there was something important.

"Yimu, the news sent from the royal city." Kim Wenying rushed to Kim Yu-shin and told Kim Yu-shin.

Kim Yu-shin looked at Kim Wen-ying's hurry and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jin Wenying replied: "The spies from the royal city in Japan have heard news that the Japanese navy suddenly moved, and it seems to be coming to Baekje."

Upon hearing this, Kim Yu-shin immediately understood what Kim Wen-ying meant. The Tang and Silla coalition forces besieged the city, and Si-ri City was in danger, but Fuyu Yici could still sit still. It turned out that he had prepared such a move. Baekje asked Japan for help early.

Kim Yu-sun asked: "Has anyone found out how powerful Japanese troops were?"

Jin Wenying replied: "There is no definite news, but the Emperor of Japan personally went to Jiuzhou to supervise the troops, which was very meaningful to have the navy from the whole country, with a force of at least 40,000."

Jin Yuxin said: "Forty thousand, twice as many as the Tang Army Navy. If the Japanese Navy came here, I am afraid that the Tang Army Navy will be in danger."

Jin Wenying asked: "Now we are planning to Baekje with the Tang army, can we tell the general about this news?"

Kim Yu-shin thought for a while and shook his head, "No need, the Tang army is not strong in the navy, but in the horse infantry. Even if there is no navy, the Tang army can still defeat Baekje."

Kim Wenying looked at Kim Yu-shin's appearance and asked, "Does I want to take the opportunity to benefit from it?"

Kim Yuxin said: "If the Tang army naval army was wiped out, and at that time, the war in Liaodong was intensified and Li Ji was unable to take care of Su Dingfang, and the Tang army in Baekje was attacked internally and externally, then they would rely even more on our Silla in Baekje.

At that time, when we advance, we can take advantage of the chaos to send troops to wipe out the Tang army and the Japanese soldiers, get their armor and supplies, dominate one side, and go north to compete with Goguryeo. Even if we retreat, we can negotiate with the Tang army and take full control of Baekje, and from then on, we will rank among the strongest of the three Koreans from now on. Isn’t that beautiful?"
