Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 341 The camp gate apologizes
When Su Dingfang received the news of Cen Gang's defeat, it was already three days later.

Seeing the injured Liu Shan and the fainting Cen Gang, Su Dingfang was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Liu Shan to the ground and cursed: "You bastard, why did I specially assign you to Cen Gang? No?" Just seeing you calm can stop him from acting recklessly. It's good now that you actually follow him and act recklessly."

Liu Shan was knocked over by the kick, but he quickly got up, feeling annoyed and blaming himself, and said: "General Manager, everything is the fault of the subordinates, the subordinates were careless. I was busy looking for the general. Doctor, I really didn’t expect to be targeted by thieves.”

He paused and said, "It's also the fault of those losers from Silla. They clearly said that they trapped Bo Jie on Mount Huang, lacking clothes and food. In a few days, they would collapse without a fight. Who would have thought that they would We got close to our army and attacked suddenly. We failed to check for a while and lost the initiative. The general resisted vigorously but was ultimately defeated. It was night and the number of thieves was unknown. In order to avoid greater damage, we had no choice but to retreat. "

Su Dingfang cursed, but when faced with Liu Shan's choice, he still praised Liu Shan's choice: "It still has some brains."

In fact, Liushan may not be unable to win in a deadly battle.

The number of soldiers in Bo Jie's hands was only a little over 3,000. When it comes to the difference in individual combat power and armaments, they are completely different. In other words, he took advantage of the surprise attack and gained an advantage. In a real head-to-head confrontation, the Tang army would be able to crush the opponent.

But Su Dingfang used his troops like a god and knew that this was not the calculation.

Cen Gang's troops numbered more than two thousand, but the situation of the thieves at that time was unknown. There was no definite number of people, or even where they came from.

In this case, retreating to reduce casualties is a wise choice.

Even though the identity of the thief is now known, the number of soldiers in the night attack makes Cen Gang's troops look a little stupid. But at the time, Liushan's choice was not wrong.

At least after the attack, he fought back bravely, and under that special situation, he successfully brought back more than 1,600 people from more than 2,000 people.

Su Dingfang's military level is extremely high, and he can still see the performance of his soldiers even if he is defeated.

"Go down and get fifty military sticks!"

Su Dingfang recognized Liu Shan's performance, but punishment was inevitable for carelessness and sloppiness.

Liu Shan had no complaints, but said with gratitude: "Thank you, Chief Manager."

Su Dingfang looked at Cen Gang, who was still unconscious, and said, "Please note down his fault first and take him down to see a doctor to take care of him. He looks like he is on the verge of death, which makes him angry."

Su Dingfang drove Cen Gang and Liu Shan away like flies.

In fact, Su Dingfang's move was suspected of shielding, but this was also Su Dingfang's style of doing things. Only with this kind of small shielding and indulgence could the soldiers be loved and die for him.

However, after inexplicably losing more than 300 soldiers, Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel angry.

The old man who was nearly seventy years old thought more and more angrily, and suddenly shouted: "Where are Silla's reinforcements? Where are they dead!"

This time they came across the sea and immediately notified Silla and sent troops to help them capture Baekje.

After taking the Xiongjin River Estuary, Su Dingfang had discovered that Baekje was panicking about their sudden appearance, and was gathering the entire country's troops to fight.

Su Dingfang had just arrived and didn’t know the depth of Baekje.

In the battle at the mouth of the Xiongjin River, they had the effect of a surprise attack, and they also had an absolute advantage in strength. They were able to advance both by land and water, and they won cleanly and without any visible consequences.

Faced with the Baekje king's determination, Su Dingfang was not afraid, but he did not dare to be careless. Before setting off for the expedition, he sent an order to Silla to quickly come to support: Baekje was afraid of them like tigers, and gathered all the soldiers and horses to fight. On the other side of Silla With no soldiers to defend, they could just assist them from the flanks.

Su Dingfang issued an order at that time and ordered Silla to lead troops to support. As a result, Silla's reinforcements were entangled by Jiebo's five thousand dead soldiers, but he easily defeated Baekje's entire nation.

Su Dingfang did not expect that Baekje's army was so vulnerable, so he ignored Silla's movements.

In order to show the style of a great power, Su Dingfang specially sent Cen Gang to lead two thousand soldiers to support.

As a result, due to Silla's incompetence, Jiebo was allowed to escape from the encirclement, and he also attacked his troops, resulting in the death of 300 soldiers.

Su Dingfang felt angry and was unwilling to vent to his soldiers. Thinking about Silla's performance, he found an outlet to vent.

It was agreed to advance troops in two directions, but Silla was delayed and even caused his soldiers to be attacked. They had to be punished for missing the deadline.

What is Su Dingfang's identity?
The chief military officer of the Celestial Dynasty, whose status was equivalent to that of the king of a vassal country, punished Silla generals with just one sentence.

Su Dingfang had already made up his mind to make the Silla generals look good and was waiting for their arrival.

Until the next day, a Silla general appeared in the Tang army camp with his upper body naked. He was tall and tall, with thick limbs. His chest was covered with dense scars from swords and guns. There was a circle of thorns tied around his back. The barbs pierced into the opponent's body, leaving traces of blood running from top to bottom.

The blood all over his body and the scars all over his body are very spectacular.

When the soldiers around him saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at him with respect.

Soldiers who have been on the battlefield can tell that these are the scars left on the battlefield. Those who have these wounds are warriors who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

In the military camp, fearless warriors are the most respected, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.

After Su Dingfang got the news, he walked out of the camp with a bit of surprise, his eyes fell on General Silla, and there was a bit of emotion in his eyes.

"My lord, Su Dingfang, why are you doing this?"

Su Dingfang himself was a tiger general. Seeing General Silla acting like this, his tone was somewhat friendly.

The general of Silla bowed and said: "My Silla Governor Jin Wenying, under the orders of the general manager, led the troops to support the divine soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. During the march, they were madly intercepted by the Baekje warriors. We, the Silla soldiers, fought bloody and bravely. He was trapped on Mount Huangshan. I thought that Bo Jie was like a turtle in a urn and would be captured soon. However, the thief was so cunning that he actually found an unknown animal trail to escape, and even took advantage of the situation to repel the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. I feel deeply uneasy and guilty, so I came here to apologize. Please punish me, Chief Superintendent."

As he bowed, the thorns binding him tightened, and the barbs penetrated deeper into his skin, causing the blood to flow even more intensely.

Su Dingfang's dark face was inexplicably red.

Su Dingfang doesn't know the capabilities of Baekje Bojie, but he slaughtered his wife and children before the war to show his determination to coexist with Baekje and to stimulate the army's fighting strength. It is very tragic and shows that he is not a simple opponent.

It was obviously his fault first, so how could he implicate others?

Su Dingfang's military level was unparalleled in the world, but political games and interpersonal communication were his weaknesses, otherwise he would not have been kept in cold storage for more than twenty years.

Seeing Jin Wenying like this, Su Dingfang also stopped trying to blame her and stepped forward to help her up.
