In Pyongyang, after waiting for four days, the main contingent finally arrived.
Moreover, some people were missing.
A thousand soldiers and ten officials had been left behind in Dandong.
Dandong was located between Shenyang and Pyongyang.
It was only a little over five hundred li from Shenyang.
Tang troops were stationed in Shenyang.
The enormous ossuary outside Pyongyang city.
Caused the deserters of Goguryeo to have no courage to return and occupy Dandong.
After allowing the main contingent that arrived later to rest well for a day in Pyongyang, another thousand guards and two corresponding officials were left behind.
The convoy set off first again.
Upon reaching Kaesong, Fang Er sensed something was amiss.
The ossuary had become larger than before.
He drove directly to the vicinity of the ossuary and stopped.
In the place where the inscription for the ossuary was originally placed, another stone tablet had been added.
After the Skyfire Army finished building the ossuary, Fang Er had left behind a stone tablet.
Engraved on it were the words:
"Those who violate the territory of the Great Tang, even if far away, will be punished!"
"Those who bully the descendants of the Han family will have their vengeance repaid!"
Erected by the Earl of Liaodong of the Great Tang Empire!
Such inscriptions.
Now the ossuary was larger than before.
Next to the original stone tablet, another one had been added.
It was engraved with:
"Silla wishes to add bricks and tiles to the Great Tang!"
Fang Er looked at these words and smiled.
These bastards were trying to curry favor, weren't they?
The added portion on the ossuary should be those Goguryeo soldiers who had fled to Silla earlier, right?
Let alone compared to the Great Tang.
Even compared to Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje were considered tiny nations.
Each country truly had only two cities that could be called cities.
The rest were some so-called commandery cities, which, in the Great Tang, were at most just towns.
Those that could be called cities.
In Silla, they were Hanseong and Geumseong.
In Baekje, they were Ungjin City and Guya City.
After the main contingent caught up.
They immediately headed towards the nearest city, Hanseong.
They didn't even bother to leave guards in Kaesong.
It was an empty city, with no citizens. Who would they leave as soldiers and officials?
Due to the constant minor conflicts between the three kingdoms of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo for many years.
Therefore, the capital of Silla was Geumseong.
Baekje was the same, its capital was Guya City.
When the four thousand Tang troops and seven strange objects appeared outside Hanseong.
The five thousand Silla guards looked at the Skyfire banner and the Skyfire soldiers holding firearms.
They all trembled.
Demons! The devilish army from the Great Tang had arrived!
What did they come for? Was destroying Goguryeo not enough, and now they wanted to destroy Silla as well?
What should we do then! We are no match for them!
Didn't they hear what the Goguryeo deserters said before?
They had a weapon called a cannon!
One shot could turn a person into minced meat!
It could attack cities from four hundred paces away!
And guns that could kill from two hundred paces away!
Tens of thousands of cavalry could not even reach them!
How could this battle be fought?
The soldiers on the city wall began to discuss amongst themselves.
Clearly, those Goguryeo deserters had revealed everything about the Tang army.
But because they had revealed it so completely.
Silla had not dared to keep them, which was why they had become dry bones on the ossuary outside Kaesong!
All of you shut up! Whoever disturbs our morale will be executed without mercy!
The commander of Hanseong's face turned ashen!
The additional Goguryeo skeletons on the ossuary outside Kaesong were piled up by his own men, under his personal supervision!
That stone tablet was also carved by his own hand and placed there!
Thinking that he could get close to the Great Tang.
And foster a better relationship.
Who would have thought!
In such a short time?
The Tang army was already at their city gates!
Deputy General! Guard the city well, I, your commander, will go and meet the Tang army!
Cheng Yaojin stood on the roof of the vehicle, holding a telescope, looking at the defending forces on the city wall.
Brother, why don't we just bombard them?
Fang Er sat in the passenger seat, looking at Cheng Yaojin's big feet on the roof, and shook his head.
What's the rush? We need to win people over with virtue!
Since we are here to find persimmons, let's talk about persimmons first.
Yuchi Jingde listened and curled his lips.
These two fellows!
If you're going to attack, just attack!
Why play the martyr when you're acting like a whore?
Clothes off, practically ready to go to bed, and you say you're appreciating the art of the human body?
The commander, filled with trepidation, arrived in front of the convoy.
He looked at the seven colossal monsters in front of him, and from their appearance, they were all made of refined steel!
The Great Tang!
Indeed, it deserves to be called an empire!
Perhaps even the entire Silla nation's strength combined could not gather so much refined steel!
Furthermore, he hadn't seen any beasts pulling them earlier. How did these steel monsters move on their own? And at such high speeds!
His already anxious heart felt even more uncertain.
He quickly dismounted and approached the pickup truck, bowing his head in salutation.
"This humble nation's Hanseong commander, Kim Daena, pays respects to the noble general of the upper nation!"
"May I ask the noble general, why have you mobilized such a large force, and for what purpose?"
Fang Er sat in the car and did not get out, merely looking at him with a playful expression.
This fellow, a Silla commander, could speak the official language of the Great Tang so fluently. Remarkable!
"Kim Daena, is it? I, your humble Earl of Liaodong, have heard that there is a fruit in Silla called persimmon!"
"I have been lacking in appetite recently and wish to come and get some persimmons to try."
"May I ask General Kim, can you help this humble earl with this small favor?"
Kim Daena thought for a long time but couldn't recall any fruit called persimmon.
"My lord Earl! Your subordinate has never heard of a fruit called persimmon in Silla."
"My lord Earl, perhaps you are mistaken?"
