The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 573 Facing the Impact

Seeing such a large army, even the King of Silla and his civil and military officials were secretly delighted. They knew that they could crush the enemy just by outnumbering them. There was no reason why they could not win this battle.

The people of Silla did not have any big reaction to this situation. They were more worried about their own fate.

The Silla court announced that the Yan army would burn, kill and loot when they arrived, so they were afraid that after the city of Rangir was lost, they would be robbed by the Yan army.

However, seeing the Silla army almost everywhere in the mountains, the people of Silla felt more confident.

The Silla army was also full of fighting spirit and morale, and everyone was eager to fight the Chinese.

The whole of Silla was also in this atmosphere. There was no more dullness and depression as before, but more expectation. They were looking forward to the arrival of the Dayan army. They needed a victory to restore the glory of their Silla.

Jiang Fan's army continued to advance forward. Wherever they passed, no matter if it was a small county town or a village, there were nobles fleeing in fear and common people trembling with fear.

They easily occupied most of Silla's land and advanced all the way to the outskirts of Silla's capital, Nyangir.

At this time, scouts sent back information that outside the Silla capital of Yagong, an army of 700,000 was assembled in a semi-encircled position, waiting for their army to enter.

Upon hearing the news, the accompanying generals Chu Chengfeng, Ning Pojun, Niu Wu, Zhou Zheng and others were somewhat stunned. They had not expected that Silla would actually gather such a large army to fight a decisive battle with them!

If they attack Silla City, it would mean a decisive battle, and this battle would determine the life and death of both sides.

If the Silla army wins, then Silla will be saved. If the Dayan army loses, the Silla people think that they will no longer have the capital to come for a decisive battle.

The army led by Jiang Fan this time was 250,000 people, which was nearly three times less than the Silla army.

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead 50,000 men as the vanguard to break through the defenses of their 700,000-man army..." Niu Wu stepped forward and patted his chest and said to Jiang Fan.

At this moment, his face was full of fighting spirit and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhou Zheng also stood up at this time. He looked not much better than Niu Wu. The two of them looked like warmongers.

Chu Chengfeng and Ning Pojun on the side couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw the two of them like this. But there was also a surge of admiration in their eyes. Although these two guys looked a little reckless and anxious.

But their ability to lead the army should not be underestimated. At least, they showed their excellent ability to lead the army in the battle with Silla two years ago.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have any plan!" Chu Chengfeng was still calm after all. He looked at Jiang Fan and asked.

Ning Potian, who was standing by, also looked at Jiang Fan with a questioning look in his eyes. Upon hearing this, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng suddenly became a little nervous.

If Jiang Fan had his own plans, they didn't know where he would put them. What they hoped most was that Jiang Fan would place them at the front line.

Jiang Fan looked at the four people, smiled faintly and said: "Since we are here, of course we can't let them down...Aren't they going to have a decisive battle? Then let's fight them head-on!"

At this point, he smiled playfully, "I plan to divide the 250,000-man army into five groups, each with 50,000 men. The four of you will each receive 50,000 men, and I will lead the central army with 50,000 men."

"You two will split into the left and right flanks and push forward... while the central army I will lead will head straight for Rang'er City... Remember, leave some people to surround the point and attack the reinforcements..."

Jiang Fan said this in a heavier voice at the end.

The four of them were all veterans of the battlefield, and they quickly understood what Jiang Fan said. Jiang Fan meant to divide the troops into five groups and then attack the Silla army in a cone-like shape.

Jiang Fan's force was used to attract firepower, smash through the enemy in the middle, and then attract the enemies on the left and right to come to the rescue. In addition to the team fighting the enemy here, another part was left to fight the reinforcements.

This type of attack would directly disrupt the enemy's army. If they were attacked at the same time, even if the Silla troops on the left and right sides saw the crisis in Rangir City, they would only hastily send troops to rescue it.

If they rush to rescue, they will become prey in a trap. If they are not careful, they will be attacked from both sides.

However, this simple and crude way of fighting is unexpected and very risky. If the fighting power cannot keep up, it will be a way to death.

But with the current combat effectiveness of the Yan army, this method is actually the best way to defeat the enemy in a short period of time. It can even kill more enemies and directly collapse the enemy's front line.

In the palace of Rangir, the King of Silla had already received news from the front that the army of Dayan had appeared not far from Rangir City and was about to collide with his 700,000-strong army.

Thinking that the Great Yan army would be wiped out outside the city of Rangir soon, the King of Silla felt excited, but of course, he also felt worried.

It was really because Li Shunchen was defeated too quickly and inexplicably that he was really a little scared. You know, Li Shunchen was the divine soldier he had always relied on.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Li Shunchen might be too arrogant and underestimated the enemy. At this time, he had united an army of 700,000 to fight against the Yan army of more than 200,000, and could definitely win easily.

He issued an order to attack the Yan army. Since the enemy had come to his doorstep, he certainly would not be a coward. He would go all out to eliminate the enemy and avoid any further trouble.

Just as the Silla army began to attack, the Yan army also split into five groups and rushed towards the Silla army, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

The combined forces of both sides were close to one million, and the entire area outside of Rang'er City looked like a sea of ​​people. The scale was unprecedented.

Jiang Fan led the central army towards the Silla capital of Rangir, and the marching speed was a bit faster. Li, who was being escorted on the warhorse, had his hands tied in a flash. He looked indifferent with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Hmph... Jiang Fan, although you have powerful weapons in your hands, you are facing my Silla army of 700,000. I don't believe that the weapons in your hands are endless. In the end, you will only be killed outside my Rang'er City."

At this moment, Li Shunchen actually developed some backbone, and he even had an inexplicable confidence.

After all, Silla had an army of 700,000, while Jiang Fan only had 250,000. In such a large-scale military battle, with people mixed together, the side with fewer people would definitely suffer.

As long as the two sides get mixed up, the weapon in Jiang Fan's hand will most likely lose its effectiveness.

Jiang Fan looked at Li Shunchen with amusement and just smiled coldly. The reason why he didn't kill Li Shunchen was that he felt that he was still useful, and by the way, he wanted to let him see how Silla was defeated.
