Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3021 Abnormal hyperactivity
His Majesty Li Er sat behind the desk, stroking his beard with one hand, and sipping tea lightly while holding a teacup in the other.

It seemed that he couldn't see Changsun Wuji who was kneeling in front of him at all...

There was silence in the tent.

After a long while, His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup, stroked his beard, raised his eyelids to look at Zhangsun Wuji, and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao is an honored minister of the country. Why do you humiliate him like this? Get up quickly, if word spreads, If I think I will be charged with another crime of harsh treatment of a hero, I'm afraid it will be infamous for thousands of years."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How can this old minister have the heart of a jackal? It's just that the matter is so important and I was excited, so I was negligent. Your Majesty forgive me!"

Get up and stand aside.

The emperor's two words are too serious, it's like pointing his nose and saying that he wants to make the emperor's reputation harsh and violent...

Even his eldest grandson Wuji couldn't bear it.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, did not continue to pursue, but looked at Su Dingfang with a smile, and asked: "With such fireballs to help, even if Goguryeo built those mountain cities with high walls and thick walls, so what? I don't know if Jian'an City is more than one mile away from the river, can the navy's artillery fire so far and send the fireballs into the enemy's city?"

All the generals in the tent turned their heads to look at Zhangsun Wuji together. Zhangsun Wuji accused the navy of killing Taisheng on the grounds of "indiscriminate killing of innocents and peace with heaven", but in the end, His Majesty Li Er wanted to use fire Attacking Jian'an City and copying the scene of "burning the city with flames" in Beisha City, this is simply a slap in the face...

But Changsun Wuji has always been deep in the city, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he never shows it on his face.

Su Dingfang was still in the excitement of the face saint, he didn't want to check Changsun Wuji's face, and said a little excitedly: "Return to your majesty, the artillery can easily send fireballs into the enemy city...but although the fire oil is easy to get , but it is not easy to make fire bombs. There are dozens of processes in total, all of which are indispensable. The Battle of Sand City cost nearly [-] pieces, and only [-] pieces remain."

His Majesty Li Er was quite sorry: "Only one hundred?"

Su Dingfang said: "The fire bomb is a secret weapon in the army, so there is a Sima in the army who is responsible for guarding and transporting it. Every day, the inventory is checked and the quantity is reported, so there is no mistake. Because of the difficulty in making it, the next batch of [-] pieces We have to wait two months."

Fire oil has just been discovered, and it was only under Fang Jun's guidance that it can be applied to fire bombs, but Fang Jun does not know the specific method, so the production technology is still in the stage of exploration, production is extremely slow, and mass production will take a while.

His Majesty Li Er is very sorry, he also wants to see the heroic scene of burning the city, but a mere hundred fire bombs may not be able to reach the power of Beisha City...

"It's better than nothing. The army rests for three days. After three days, the whole army will attack. The navy will be responsible for erecting the pontoon bridge, assisting the army to cross the Daqing River, and then bombard Jian'an City with artillery. Can it be done?"

"The navy will do its best and will not disappoint His Majesty!"

Su Dingfang expressed his determination firmly.

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard very pleased.Although the navy was created by Fang Jun, but the prefix of the name is "royal", which is equivalent to the "private army" of His Majesty Li Er, and his success or failure is the face of His Majesty Li Er.In the past, sailors traveled overseas, although there were voices of bragging everywhere, saying that they looked invincible, but they couldn't see it with their own eyes, so this glory has to be discounted.

After all, the targets of the navy's usual battles are either pirates, or those small sampan-like broken ships from the Southeast Asian countries. There is really no comparison...

Now that the navy cooperates with the army to fight, whether it is a dragon or a bug is under the eyes of the big guy, and there is nothing to hide whether the performance is good or bad.

But just looking at Su Dingfang's expression and attitude, His Majesty Li Er knew that the Navy still had a few tricks...

Immediately, His Majesty Li Er got up and came to one side of the wall, looking at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back.Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong, Ashina Simo and others also surrounded His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er pointed to the arrows of different lengths and colors on the map representing the marching route, and said: "Tomorrow morning, Zhang Jian's troops will cross the Daqing River, go south along the official road west of Jian'an City, detour south of Jian'an City, and cut off the road. Retreat, and at the same time block the enemy troops who may come to help."

Zhang Jian said loudly: "Here!"

His Majesty Li Er said again: "At the same time, Yuchi Gong's troops moved east along the valley road between the mountains, and inserted obliquely to the side of Jian'an City, cutting off the eastward escape channel of Jian'an City's enemy troops."

"Here!"

"Zhou Daowu, Qiu Xiaozhong, you two will lead your troops to harass Jian'an City from midnight tonight. You only need to feign an attack to weaken the morale of the troops and there is no need to join the battle. Of course, if the enemy troops go out of the city to fight back, they must attack head-on. Promise to win and not to lose!"

"Here!"

"The rest of the troops are all resting on the spot, and will attack the city with me in three days! The navy will be responsible for building pontoon bridges and transporting ordnance. We will strive to decide the first battle, capture Jian'an City, and send our troops eastward to join Lu Guogong's army at the city of Anshi. !"

"Here!"

All the generals responded with a bang.

No one has any objection to His Majesty Li Er's strategizing.After all, "Admiral Tiance" commanded thousands of troops and swept away heroes from all walks of life. He was rarely defeated in large and small wars, and his tactical literacy was comparable to that of "Military Gods" such as Li Jing and Li Ji.

Not to mention that the current main army of hundreds of thousands is attacking Jian'an City, which is completely a pattern of a lion fighting a rabbit. As long as the time is not lost, how can it fail?
His Majesty Li Er was obviously very interested. After the formation of troops, he stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was so ambitious that he wanted to overthrow Goguryeo and occupy Liaodong, and make immortal achievements. Who would have thought that it is up to people to make things happen?" In the sky, I returned home several times in the land of Liaodong, which eventually led to the turmoil of the country and the severance of the country. Today, I am marching personally, with you and other famous generals under my command, and there are millions of tigers with high morale. How can I repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? ? We must create this unprecedented achievement, and our name will go down in history, and we will be famous forever!"

All the generals were infected by his emotions, and their blood was surging. They all bowed and said: "Your Majesty's great achievements in the future, it is a great honor for me to bow to the victory! I only hope that I will do my best and die!"

"Haha! You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, otherwise I will make a fool of you! After the victory is over, I will return to court after victory, and I will be drunk with you in the Taiji Palace! Everyone scolds me for being cruel, unkind, Being mean and narrow-minded, I want to show those people that I can not only share troubles, but also share joys!"

"..."

The generals were stunned and speechless.

The so-called "cruelty and inhumanity" naturally refers to the incident of killing brothers and sisters in the "Xuanwu Gate Change". Although the mainstream public opinion is on the side of His Majesty Li Er, the discussion on this matter has never stopped regardless of the ruling and opposition parties. And there are many remarks that are not conducive to His Majesty Li Er.

So this is not easy to answer, whether you agree or not, it seems that it is not appropriate...

And all the generals can see that His Majesty is obviously a little over-excited today. It is really unbelievable and incomprehensible for such a topic that has been kept secret in the past to be mentioned in such a grand manner.

Could it be that His Majesty Li Er is in a good mood because of the consecutive victories since the Eastern Expedition, and he can let go of the past taboos?

……

That night, after the army rested, Zhou Daowu and Qiu Xiaozhong each led their soldiers to cross the Daqing River under the cover of naval artillery and launched a feint attack on Jian'an City.

The defenders of Jian'an City seemed to have made up their minds that they would not be able to shrink back. Seeing the Tang army crossing the Daqing River, they still held on to the city, only waiting for the Tang army to attack.

The Tang army did not prepare the siege equipment, and threw a few thunderbolts under the city. The defenders on the city released a few rounds of feather arrows. There were not many casualties among each other. At midnight, the Tang army retreated.But he did not return to the camp on the other side of the Daqing River, but was stationed by the water.

However, even so, the Goguryeo army did not have the slightest idea of ​​"taking advantage", and did not care at all that it was a taboo for military strategists that the Tang army formed a back-to-back formation. It was possible that a single charge would overwhelm its formation.

Tang Jun had no choice but to harass another round at dawn, and then the whole army withdrew to the north bank of the Daqing River and returned to the camp to rest.

For two consecutive days, the Tang army crossed the Daqing River every night to harass and pretend to attack Jian'an City.Although the Goguryeo army stayed behind closed doors, they could see that the Tang army was just pretending to harass them, but they didn't dare to be careless and stood on guard at the top of the city.
