Chapter 1118: The Silla people who lack stamina
The north wind was howling, the horse's hooves were flying, and a Tang cavalry chased down along the northeast direction of Pyongyang, Li Daozong was urging the team to speed up, but on the other hand, he was also secretly anxious, on the one hand, he was worried that Su Dingfang would not be able to stop Quangai Suwen, and on the other hand, he was worried that Su Dingfang really captured Quangai Suwen alive, and then this first merit would not have his own share.
Originally, Buyeo City was not very far from Pyongyang City, and it was only half a day's journey in normal times, and Li Daozong and they were cavalry, so it only took a few hours to rush to Buyeo City, and they saw the battlefield in the north at a glance.
Originally, Li Daozong was overjoyed when he saw the battlefield, and immediately stepped forward, and even prepared to command his cavalry to support, but when they arrived, they found that although the battlefield was full of dead bodies, the teams of the two sides had been separated, which made Li Daozong's heart sink again, could it be that Su Dingfang had captured Quangai Suwen?
Just when Li Daozong was thinking wildly, he saw a group of people and horses on the Tang army's side rushing out, and the first person was Su Dingfang, which made him hurriedly meet him and said: "General Su hasn't seen you for many days, but I didn't expect this first merit to be robbed by you!" ”
Li Daozong saw that Su Dingfang dared to break away from the army, you must know that this is on the battlefield, unless it is absolutely safe, no main general dares to leave the army under his command so boldly, so he even thought that Su Dingfang had captured or killed Quangai Suwen, as for the army standing opposite the Tang army, it was naturally regarded by him as a surrendered Goguryeo army.
However, as soon as Li Daozong's words fell, he suddenly found that Su Dingfang's face was extremely bad when he came, which made him even more puzzled, it is said that since he caught Quangai Suwen, he should be happy, how could he put on such a stinky face?
"The last general will see the king of Jiangxia, but it is ashamed to say that although the last general tried his best to stop it, he still let Quangai Suwen run away with the army." I saw Su Dingfang clasping his fists and saluting Li Daozong on the horse, and when he talked about the fact that Quangai Su Wen had escaped, he couldn't help but show an annoyed look on his face.
"Escaped? That...... Whose army is over there? Li Daozong didn't expect Su Dingfang to say this, and then pointed to the army opposite the Tang army, he always thought that these were Goguryeo troops, but now when he heard Su Dingfang's words, he knew that he had misunderstood.
"These are the Silla people, and Quangai Suwen has already fled into the hilly area in front of him, and further on there are even more precipitous mountains, which are very unfavorable to our cavalry, so I did not pursue them again." Su Dingfang replied again, but when he said the words "Silla people", he once again showed an annoyed look.
Hearing that the other party was a Sila person, Li Daozong carefully looked at the other party's flag, and sure enough, he found that it was the same as the Silla fleet he had seen at Bogoukou before, but he was even more strange when he saw Su Dingfang's expression, and he couldn't help but ask: "The Silla people can be regarded as loyal to come to support, but why do you look unhappy, General Su?" ”
It's good that Li Daozong didn't mention the Silla people, but when he mentioned the Silla people Su Dingfang's anger, it was even greater, but he didn't want to get angry at Li Daozong, so he held back his anger and said: "King Jiangxia doesn't know, just now he was fighting well, and Quangai Suwen was also stopped by us, seeing that if he works harder, he can force the Goguryeo people back to Buyeo City, but at this time, he ......"
Su Dingfang was angry and anxious to tell the story again, Li Daozong then knew why he was so angry with the Silla people, it turned out that before Su Dingfang and the Silla people joined forces to stop the army of Quangai Suwen, although the two sides were deadlocked, but Su Dingfang's cavalry is a mobile force, as long as it can catch a little flaw in Quangai Suwen, it can immediately break the situation, so as to defeat the army of Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
However, at this critical moment, the Silla people dropped the chain, speaking of which the Silla people had an army of 50,000, and they also had an advantage in strength in the face of Goguryeo, but because of training and equipment problems, they were not as good as the Goguryeo army in combat effectiveness.
However, with the passage of time, the blood courage of the Silla people at the beginning was rapidly declining, and even some Silla soldiers did not dare to step forward when facing the red-eyed Goguryeo soldiers, and some even began to run away on the battlefield......
It was also in this situation that the Silla people were afraid of the war, and even began to retreat and flee, and as a result, Quan Gai Suwen seized the opportunity, and at the moment he abandoned Su Dingfang's cavalry, personally led the Five Swords Army to open the way, and broke through the defense line of the Silla people in one fell swoop, although Su Dingfang also desperately wanted to leave Quan Gai Suwen behind, but Quan Gai Suwen was determined to escape, and finally even abandoned thousands of people to break the queen, and when Su Dingfang eliminated the broken Goguryeo people, the other party had run away.
"50,000 people intercepted more than 30,000 people, and it wasn't for them to destroy each other, how could they not be stopped?" After Li Daozong listened to Su Dingfang's story, he couldn't help but show an incredible expression at the moment, 50,000 people intercepted more than 30,000 people, and with Su Dingfang's help, this task was quite easy, and he even wondered why the Silla people failed?
Hearing Li Daozong's words, Su Dingfang also smiled bitterly, originally the Silla people were able to come to help in the war, and he was also very happy, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, these Silla people dropped the chain, causing Quangai Suwen to escape, and Su Dingfang is a kind person, and he doesn't feel good if he wants to scold the Silla people, after all, the other party came all the way to help Datang, and he did contribute, and in the end, he was a little wronged in exchange for his own scolding.
But it was precisely because he wanted to scold but couldn't scold, so Su Dingfang could only hold this resentment in his heart, which made his chest even more uncomfortable, and fortunately Li Daozong came, which made him finally spit out this evil breath in his heart, otherwise he would have to suffocate.
At this moment, I saw that someone from the Silla side finally came out, the first one was a middle-aged general about forty years old, who looked very mighty, and saw that the other party urged the horse to come to Su Dingfang and Li Daozong and bowed down and said: "Meet the two generals in the lower Silla Jinluxin!" ”
Su Dingfang is a kind person, but Li Daozong is not a kind person, in fact, Li Daozong became famous as a young man, and has always been trusted by Li Shimin, and now he is higher than the king of Jiangxia, and his personality is also a little domineering, especially in the face of a small country general like Silla, and the other party also made a big mistake, which made his heart even more angry, so at this time he also asked unceremoniously: "General Jin, why did you let Quan Gai Suwen escape just now?" ”
Kim Lushin is not an ordinary person, he is one of the most famous generals in Silla, and he has always been very respected by Queen Seondeok, so this time he was appointed as the commander of the attack on Goguryeo, and it was indeed his mistake just now, so he let Quan Gai Suwen escape, so he took the initiative to ask for a meeting, and introduced his identity.
It's just that what Jin Luxin didn't expect was that although he had already expressed enough sincerity, the Tang Army general in front of him did not introduce his identity according to etiquette, but questioned himself as soon as they met, and with a condescending expression, as if he had seen the leaders of those barbarian tribes in the north before, which made him angry.
However, Jin Luxin was angry, he did not lose his mind because of this, especially in the face of the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, he also had to be calm, so he quickly suppressed his anger, and also made a sincere and frightened expression: "The general is angry, our Silla country is small and weak, and the army cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty, don't look at the 50,000 troops under my command, but in fact, most of them are temporarily recruited, and many people are on the battlefield for the first time, so I let Quan Gai Suwen escape, and please forgive the general!" ”
"Understanding? I ......, "Li Daozong doesn't care what your reason is, after all, he never talks about reasons on the battlefield, so he just wanted to scold again, but he was persuaded by Su Dingfang next to him, "King Jiangxia is angry, this General Jin has indeed tried his best, and if they hadn't suddenly killed and blocked Quan Gai Suwen's way before, I'm afraid the other party would have fled a long time ago." ”
Hearing Su Dingfang's persuasion, Li Daozong didn't say anything unpleasant, which also made Jin Luxin glance at Su Dingfang gratefully, and then hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "The last general was entrusted by the queen this time to assist His Majesty the Emperor in clearing Goguryeo, since the two generals are here, then His Majesty the Emperor must be nearby, right?" ”
"Why, you still want to see Your Majesty?" When Li Daozong heard this, he squinted at the other party and said, his eyes were full of disdain, after all, Li Shimin is not something that everyone can see, before the B sacrifice was to help the Tang army when it was in danger, and he was personally received by Li Shimin, and a Silla general like Jin Luxin who lost on the battlefield and caused Quangai Suwen to escape, Li Shimin did not blame him for being very magnanimous.
Jin Luxin is also a member of the Silla royal family, and he is extremely talented, he has shown unusual talent since he was a child, even in the royal family, he is also outstanding, and he is admired by others, no one has ever dared to despise him so much, especially Li Daozong's disdainful gaze, which stabbed his self-esteem all of a sudden, and almost broke out on the spot, but in the end he still hid the anger on his face by bowing his head.
After a long while, I saw Jin Luxin speak: "The general has misunderstood, the last general is humble and light, so naturally he doesn't dare to expect to meet His Majesty the Emperor, but Her Royal Highness the Queen is in the military camp in the rear, and wants to meet His Majesty the Emperor in person!" ”
