"Yes.
Li Mu asked, "How did your unit escape from the two cavalry when it was undersupplied?"
Xue Li said: "When the war with the Japanese army was engaged, the Baekje army had not yet arrived.
At that time, our army and the Japanese army suddenly encountered, no one was prepared, and there was a battle, the equipment and morale of the Japanese army were inferior to our army, and the battle instantly turned into a one-sided massacre of our army, but after our army defeated the Japanese army on the right, the cavalry of the Japanese army on the left took the opportunity to copy the rear road of our army. ” "Our army has no cavalry, and the last general can only use the few remaining heavenly thunders to break through, and most of the casualties are generated at this time."
Li Mu nodded and said, "You can break through from the outflanking cavalry, and you did your best, but I blame you." ” "The last will be terrified."
"Take me up to the wall."
"Your Highness, please."
The city wall of Muzhi is far less tall and strong than the city wall of a county town in Datang.
The current city wall is still reinforced by Xue Li.
Li Mu looked out from the city wall, which was less than a zhang high.
In the distance, dense tents are faintly visible.
Li Mu couldn't tell which ones belonged to the Baekje army and which ones belonged to the Japanese army.
I regret a little in my heart, I should let the workshop grind out the lenses and build a telescope.
Xue Li said on the side: "Now that His Highness has arrived, our army has sufficient supplies, and the last general recommends going out of the city to fight the enemy." ” Li Mu said: "From the point of view of troops, although our army is at a disadvantage, with the combat power of the god guard, it can indeed fight.
I was worried about the enemy's cavalry. ” Liu Ren track: "There will be a plan in the end, I don't know if I should talk about it or not" "Say."
"The enemy did not know that His Highness was coming, and they knew that our army did not have four or five thousand men.
If our army retreats west from Muzhi, the enemy will presumably think that our army is afraid and flee westward.
In this way, the enemy cavalry will pursue, and our army will fight an ambush on the way, as long as the enemy cavalry is solved, then the remaining enemy infantry will not become soft persimmons to be rubbed by the god guards" Li Mu nodded, Liu Renliang's idea was good, "This plan is indeed feasible, but if the enemy detects our army's intentions, or they don't plan to really fight with the Tang Dynasty, they just want to drive our army away, how to deal with it When they occupy Muzhi City, the combined armies of the two countries have more than 35,000 people, and our army will pay huge casualties if we want to recover Muzhi." ” Li Mu said that it is very likely that whether it is Baekje or Waguo, they are afraid of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.
Although there had been a battle before, at that time the two armies suddenly encountered, and there was no choice.
Judging from the current confrontation situation, it is clear that the Japanese army and the Baekje army have no intention of attacking Muzhi Fortress.
If this is the case, then according to Liu Renliang's strategy, it is equivalent to Shenjiwei giving up Mu Zhi in vain, and in the end he can only retreat to Wuxian City.
Liu Renliang was silent.
Xue Li said at this time: "Your Highness, the last general has thought of a plan.
As long as the city of Muzhi is burned, even if the enemy wants to occupy the city, it is impossible. ” When Li Mu heard this, his heart moved, this is a solution, if the ground is dry today, and the buildings are all wooden, and the city is set on fire, the enemy has no city to defend, and the second is that the Baekje army will pursue under the anger.
As a friendly army, the Japanese army can only pursue the situation at that time.
After all, the enemy knew that there were only four or five thousand people in the Divine Guard.
With the strength of their 35,000 men, plus 8,000 cavalry, it is enough to encircle and annihilate the Divine Guard.
It's just that this is hurtful to the heavens and peace, although Muzhi City is a small city, but there are thousands of people, if it is set on fire, even if the people are not burned to death, I am afraid that all the houses and property will be burned.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but he thought that now was the moment of success or failure.
If the Shenji Guard is in a stalemate with the enemy here, in case it is unfavorable for Su Dingfang to attack Xiongjin City in the north, then the Shenji Guard can only withdraw his troops.
Li Muya bit his teeth and ordered: "Just do as you say." ” Therefore, the 5,000 people brought by Li Mu quietly left Muzhi, traveled about 30 miles west according to the original road, chose a place with hills on the road to set up an ambush, and planted string mines on the road.
In the middle of the night, a raging fire suddenly broke out in the city of Muzhi.
The firelight reflected half the sky.
The people of the city cried out in mourning, and many were burned alive in their sleep.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, Xue Libu quietly withdrew from Muzhi City through the West Gate.
The fires in the city were also seen by the Baekje army and the Japanese army.
The Baekje army immediately sent scouts to the city, and when they learned that the Tang army had retreated, the general of the Baekje army could not hold back the anger in his heart and issued an order for the whole army to pursue.
The Japanese generals had suffered the loss of the Shenjiwei, and they initially persuaded the Baekje army to wait until dawn before pursuing them.
However, the Baekje army was already red-eyed, the persuasion of the Japanese army was ineffective, and the generals of the Japanese army also wanted to avenge the Tang army's revenge, they still thought that the victory of the Tang army in the previous encounter was due to luck, so they agreed with the opinion of the Baekje generals.
The 8,000 cavalry on both sides intercepted the Tang army, and after the infantry followed, they were encircled and annihilated.
Tens of thousands of troops bypassed the burning city of Muzhi and marched westward.
This night is destined to go down in history.
Although Baekje was not as powerful as Silla, they had a population of 3 million, while Silla had only 2 million people.
However, after two years of war against Silla, Baekje's army losses were not insignificant, and the 150,000 troops were now around 100,000.
To the west, Baekje had only 20,000 people besieging Mouji and 20,000 garrisoning Xiongjin, and the rest of the army was pursuing the Silla.

If these 40,000 people are removed, then the west side of Baekje will be unfortified.
The 50,000-strong Japanese army landed from Gaya and divided into two routes, and Silla was the key target of the Japanese army.
Emperor Shu Ming subconsciously was still afraid of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the Japanese army attacking the Shenji Guard was only 20,000, and it did not advance quickly.
Emperor Tamura's intention was only to force the Tang army to withdraw from Baekje, not to officially start a war with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, if these 20,000 Japanese troops were removed, there would be no more Japanese troops to the west of Baekje.
That's why this night party went down in history.
Because this night led to the destruction of Baekje, and finally disappeared from history completely.
As expected.
The Baekje army was burned down because of the city of Muji, and the Japanese army wanted to avenge the arrow, so the two sides pursued the Shenji guard in the dark night.
Xue Li's department hurried away with torches.
But two feet are no faster than four feet after all.
This is also the reason why Li Mu chose to set up an ambush thirty miles away.
Because of this distance, it was enough for Xue Libu to reach the ambush point first.
Don't hurt your own people by mistake.
After Xue Libu arrived at the ambush point, he still headed west with torches.
This caused the pursuing enemy cavalry to charge unsuspectingly into the minefield
