Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3010 Tang Army Attacks
When marching, it is most taboo to cross mountains and valleys. Once the enemy detects the route and lays an ambush halfway, the entire army is often wiped out to the end.Gao Huizhen is a famous general of Goguryeo, how can he not know the danger?It's just that the urging from Pyongyang City was very urgent, and Yuan Gai Suwen sent orders in a row, ordering him to speed up and must be stationed in Anshi City before the arrival of the Tang army, so Gao Huizhen could only bite the bullet and take the risk.

It's just that this section of the mountain road made him feel like a light on his back, and he always felt like he was being watched by others, so he ordered the team to grit their teeth and go out of the valley to camp and rest.

Naturally, the soldiers under his command did not dare to disobey the military order, and they all went forward with all their strength.

It's just that it's one thing not to dare to disobey military orders, but it's another thing to have a strong will to grit your teeth. After walking a few steps, the formation of the entire army became more and more disfigured, and the soldiers were scattered here and there. , There were complaints everywhere, and morale became more and more low.

The generals rode their horses and waved their whips. When they saw the soldiers squatting on the side of the road resting, they rushed up and whipped them violently.

It wasn't until the end of the day that the continuous mountains in front suddenly disappeared, and the valley finally came to an end.

Gao Huizhen has been marching for many years. As the southern Sasa of Goguryeo, he has fought against Baekje and Silla all year round. He has very rich experience. He immediately ordered all the scouts to go out to investigate the situation around Dajagu.

Half an hour later, the front troops had already walked out of Daque Valley, and in front of them was an open flat land, which stretched far away along the mountains on the right, reaching Anshi City.On the left side, there is a big river flowing by, with the sound of water rushing and rushing.

The scouts turned back one after another, reporting that everything ahead was normal and nothing unusual happened.

Only then did Gao Huizhen let out a long breath, and commanded the army to move forward at a faster speed and get out of Daque Valley as soon as possible. This place has high mountains and dense forests on both sides, and the road in the middle is winding. Ambushing on the mountains on both sides but not being discovered by our own scouts, that is a disaster of extinction.

Fortunately, there has been no clue of Tang Jun.

It seems that the Tang army has all turned to Jian'an City, and that is the main battlefield...

Gao Huizhen felt relieved, as long as the army came out of Daque Valley, the terrain before the valley entrance was flat and open. Although it was more convenient for cavalry to charge, but the [-] to [-] Goguryeo troops formed an array, and tens of thousands of cavalry were needed to break through the array. The Goguryeo army was heavily surrounded.

Even if the Tang army was able to launch an attack, it was impossible to mobilize not so many cavalry here.

The generals of the Tang army have been fighting in the north and south in recent years, and have fought against Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Western Regions and other countries. They have rich experience. How could they make such a low-level mistake?

When Gao Huizhen's Chinese army finally walked out of the valley, the flat and open terrain in front of him made his chest relax immediately, and he ordered: "The front army stops advancing, rests on the spot, makes a fire and cooks. The scouts must not stop, and immediately go to Anshicheng to contact. Order the city of Anshi to vacate the air camp, prepare tents, and make preparations for the arrival of the army."

8 to [-] people poured into Anshi City, which means huge logistical pressure for a mountain city, and it must be prepared in advance, otherwise, if the situation is imminent, if it is not properly arranged, it will be a big trouble.

Most of Goguryeo's troops are farmers and herdsmen, and they have no eyes for military regulations and discipline. Once they are not handled properly, the morale of the army is unstable, and in extreme cases, such things as "screaming battalion" may happen...

But this can’t be helped. Datang has been planning to invade Liaodong for many years. It claims to have an army of one million to attack Liaodong. Although it may not be true that there are 100 million troops, there must be 70 million.
He can only pull all the men from the top fifty to the bottom fifteen in the country to the battlefield, and use his last strength to resist the fierce offensive of the Tang army...

The pawns who had been complaining for a long time immediately rested on the spot and got a chance to breathe.Bonfires lit up everywhere, and smoke billowed up. The Huotou army put a large pot on top of the campfire, took water from the big river beside it, and poured half a scoop of brown rice into a pot of water.

After a while, the aroma of rice came out, and the clear soup in the pot lacked water, and the rice grains could be counted...

The consequence of the national conscription was a serious shortage of food, fodder and supplies. As soon as the war started, the entire Goguryeo had already handed over all the food and handed it over to the yamen at all levels for unified dispatch and distribution.It seems that the army can still eat a full meal, and ordinary farmers waiting for leisure may only be able to satisfy their hunger with rice bran and wheat bran.

If the war is delayed for a year or two, I am afraid that the Tang army will not be needed to fight, and the Goguryeo people themselves will not be able to hold on...

Gao Huizhen was sitting by the river surrounded by a group of generals and school lieutenants. He had his own special firehead army to bring the generals to eat. There was crystal clear rice in a full stoneware bowl, and a large vat of stewed meat full of oil and water. A group of people, separated from the ordinary soldiers, enjoyed their lunch.

A school lieutenant took a mouthful of rice and couldn't help complaining: "A few days ago there were four or five dishes, but today there is only one. The meat is so greasy, how can I swallow it? The people of Tang are really full. , we Goguryeo didn't provoke him, why should we beat us?"

Someone nearby said: "Of course the Tang people have no enmity with us, but the Sui Dynasty did! Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized tens of thousands of people to conquer Goguryeo. How many people died? Although the Sui Dynasty died, so did the Tang people." The Han people, of course, still have a grudge against us, and if we are not wiped out, we will not be able to live in peace."

The other person took a bite of the meat and sighed, "Actually, it's not the Han people's annoyance. They have always been a kingdom of heaven, and we are a foreign country. In the end, the war was invincible. Countless Han people died in Liaodong, and they were built by us." Cheng Jingguan, the Han people regard it as a great shame! How could they not retaliate? Back then King Yingyang insisted on doing this, and the ministers couldn’t persuade him, alas!”

Yingyang King Gao Yuan is the elder brother of Rongliu King Gao Jianwu. After Yingyang King died, Rongliu King came to the throne.

Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo all took place during the reign of King Yingyang. Although the Sui army failed to destroy Goguryeo, and because of years of wars in the country, it also beat Goguryeo into a state of embarrassment. The accumulation was gone, the treasury was empty, and the population plummeted.

The most important thing is that King Yingyang ordered to collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Sui army and build a Jingguan to declare his illustrious military exploits.At that time, many people said that this should not be the case. Isn't this a blatant provocation of Tai Sui?Once the hatred is planted, there may be no day of reconciliation between the two countries, and there will be no end to death.

Gao Huizhen swallowed the last mouthful of food, put down the rough pottery bowl, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about one or two? The reason why the Han people beat us to death has nothing to do with those, it's just that 'the side of the couch is not allowed to sleep soundly'" , We are getting stronger and stronger, and the Han people feel threatened, so they will naturally have to wipe us out to be at ease."

This is the caliber of the current Goguryeo mainstream society’s propaganda. It puts itself in the position of a weak person and exaggerates the rampant tyranny of the Tang Dynasty, but it never improves Goguryeo.

Suddenly, a shrill and sharp cry sounded in the distance: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Gao Hui was really shocked, got up quickly, and saw several war horses galloping from a distance with a cloud of smoke and dust, rushing straight into the camp, no one dared to stop along the way, and they came to him in the blink of an eye.

It is the scout in the army.

Several scouts jumped off their horses, came to Gao Huizhen, and shouted, "Marshal, the Tang army is attacking!"

"Hoohoo!"

The generals around stood up together, all of them panicked.

Gao Huizhen shouted: "Hold on! Soldiers are coming to block you, why should you be afraid?"

However, he asked the scout: "How many people are there in the enemy army, do you know who is the commander in chief?"

The scouts said: "The number of people is about three or five, all of them are cavalry, and they are galloping towards Daquegu. Look at the opponent's flag, it should be the vanguard Xue Wanche!"

Hearing that there were three or five thousand cavalry, even Gao Huizhen was relieved.

Although the enemy chose to launch a sneak attack here instead of setting up an ambush in the valley first, it was somewhat unexpected, but with 8 or [-] people guarding here, what effect can a mere [-] to [-] cavalry have?Although the cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry, it also scores points. Dozens of times the infantry is enough to surround the enemy's cavalry regiments. It only needs to pay the damage to the infantry when the cavalry charges, and they can be wiped out.

It is simply a feat delivered to the door!
Gao Huizhen lifted his spirits, and said loudly: "The whole army is on alert, set up an array and stay in place. Since the enemy army is only a cavalry, let him come and go!"

"promise!"

The generals responded with a bang, but before they could give the order, they heard a muffled sound like rolling thunder in the distance, and even the ground under their feet trembled slightly.

I could only hear the soldiers in front shouting in panic: "Iron cavalry! It's an iron cavalry!"

"Wow!"

There was a sudden chaos in the camp...
