Chapter 113 Qinling retreats

Not only in the eyes of these Silla powerful people who are in charge of national affairs, but even in the eyes of a normal Silla people, the defeat of Silla is almost inevitable.

Jin Chunqiu led the wolf into the house. In order to compete for the three Koreans, he invited the Tang army to advance eastward. It did open up a situation for Silla for a time, greatly alleviating the pressure on the sidelines, and even recovering the lost land.

But it is easy to ask for the gods, but it is difficult to send the gods. Just after the Tang army defeated Baekje and Goguryeo, the three Koreans on the peninsula had gone to the second place. Silla had no threat on the peninsula, but at the same time there was no foreign aid. When Qinling soldiers were at the city, Silla, which had already exhausted its national strength, could not even find a decent reinforcement.

For a while, Jincheng was in danger of danger. So under the pressure of Qinling, Jin Chunqiu had to make an extreme choice to go out of the city to fight.

If he wins this battle, he can defeat the Tang army, and at least he can lead his army to flee. If he loses this battle, he will just die. It will be a matter of time before he can do so.

So, just as the city was in chaos, Jin Chunqiu had already made a decision to go out of the city to fight and decide the outcome with Qinling outside Jincheng.

However, although Qin Ling was young and had no reputation, he was led by his commander as an elite Tang army. Jin Chunqiu did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered the concentration of almost all the troops in the city to fight Qin Ling.

While Jin Chunqiu ordered to recruit soldiers in the city, he concentrated the troops originally guarded everywhere. In just one day, he allocated almost 13,000 people, a large number, and the Tang army, which was twice as big as Qinling, left the city.

Qinling's troops were concentrated at the South Gate. If Jin Chunqiu wanted to defeat Qinling, the best and fastest way was to send troops from the South Gate, but the time for sending troops was also particular. Although Jin Chunqiu's troops were twice as many as that of the Tang army, even so, Jin Chunqiu had no confidence in winning, so the time he chose to send troops was for the Tang army to siege the city for half a day, which was the most tired noon.

In mid-July, at noon, when the Tang army besieged in the city was most tired, Jin Chunqiu led his troops out at the south gate of Jincheng, and fought with the Silla soldiers who had been repaired for a day. He rushed straight to the Tang army outside the city, and caught the Tang army off guard.

What Jin Chunqiu thought was good, but although Qin Ling seemed young and had no reputation, she was born handsome and could not have been in vain. Qin Ling would never be so careless, let alone this debut that he attached great importance to.

Qinling has been leading troops to siege the city for several days. Although Qinling has not taken the initiative to attack the city during these few days, it has given the Silla people the feeling that the Tang army has been lazy, but in fact these are just the illusion that Qinling has shown to the Silla people. Qinling himself has never been slacking off at all. Instead, he sent people to stare at the soldiers guarding the city on Jincheng City every day. Qinling reacted as soon as the soldiers guarding the city were moved.

The Silla army has already left the city. Although the number of Tang army is not as large as that of Silla, if Xue Rengui is the one who commands the troops, when Silla takes the initiative to seek war, Xue Rengui's choice must be to fight and will not avoid it. However, Qinling is not Xue Rengui. His choice is not to fight head-on, but to avoid the war and delay the Silla people.

Qinling looked at the Silla people coming forward with great momentum without any hesitation. He immediately ordered the army to cover and retreat step by step, respond to each other, and slowly retreated.

The Tang army had no intention of fighting, and retreated immediately as soon as they fought with the Silla people. This surprised the Silla people. After all, in their original plan, they had a tough battle to fight.

"Duke Chunqiu, the Tang army has retreated." Beside Jin Chunqiu, the Silla general Jin Zhenzhu looked at the Tang army who was slowly retreating, and excitedly told Jin Chunqiu.

Since the Tang army sent troops to the east, they have destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, and have almost never been defeated, especially on the front battlefield. However, now the Sillas have repelled the Tang army. Even if it was unexpected, even if it was waiting for it, this is enough to make Jin Zhenzhu happy and surprised.

It was a good thing for the Tang army to withdraw the troops, but Jin Chunqiu himself could not be happy because he looked at the orderly retreating troops in front of him. The Tang army, who was close to the Silla army, always felt a little unfamiliar and a little inappropriate.

Jin Chunqiu said: "The Tang army is good at fighting, but today it retreats without fighting. It's really weird. I'm worried that there will be ambush. Should we be careful?"

Jin Chunqiu has always been careful in his actions, so he rarely makes big mistakes. But when Jin Zhenzhu heard this, he said, "The Tang army has retreated, and there is no chance to attack again. And as far as I know, the chief general of the Tang army is just a fledgling Tubo boy. How can he have such thoughts? Chunqiu Gong should not worry too much. After all, there are not many opportunities."

There is no problem with Jin Chunqiu being cautious in his actions, but what Jin Zhenzhu said makes sense. From the obvious perspective, this battle was the Silla army that raided and repelled the Tang army, but the Tang army would be defeated once, so how could it be defeated the second time? If Jin Chunqiu dared not pursue him because of his caution, and when Qinling rectified his troops, there would be no chance for the Silla army.

Jin Chunqiu also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, order the pursuit, and be sure to completely defeat the Tang army."

After Jin Chunqiu finished speaking, he waved the long sword in his hand, and more than 10,000 Silla soldiers chased after him, followed the Tang army soldiers and chased them up.

The soldiers of the Tang army fought and retreated, not running fast, and the Silla people chased the ground tightly. After more than half an hour, they chased the Tang army out of the outer territory of Jincheng. As they were getting closer and closer, they were about to catch up with Qinling in front. The Silla army was about to make contributions, but at this moment, there was movement behind them.

"Dad, dad..."

Behind Jin Chunqiu, a sound of calling came into Jin Chunqiu's ears. Jin Chunqiu looked back and found that it was his beloved son Jin Ren who asked to catch up.

This time, he left the city to fight against the Tang army. Jin Chunqiu and Jin Zhenzhu led the army to fight. His eldest son Jin Famin and second son Jin Renwen were left by Jin Chunqiu and defended the city with thousands of newly conquered new troops. Jin Renwen suddenly arrived at this time, and most likely, there was something wrong in the city.

"Why are you here? But what happened in the city?" Jin Chunqiu looked at Jin Renwen's panic and asked worriedly.

Jin Ren asked, "Just shortly after my father led his army out of the city, a large group of troops suddenly attacked the city from the north gate. The city was short of defense and the city was in short supply. Brother, I ordered me to come and ask for help. Dad should go back to the army quickly."

Jin Ren's words were heard, and Jin Chunqiu suddenly realized and understood. No wonder the Tang army today avoided the war so much. It turned out that they had guessed that the Silla army would go out of the city to fight if they were both internal and external troubles, so they made arrangements early. Qinling, who had been running away, was just a bait. The real fatal thing was the Tang army who was attacking Jincheng now.

"It's broken, I'm trapped by Qinling, Jincheng is in danger!" Jin Chunqiu slapped his thigh in annoyance and sighed.
