Datang Nongwang

Chapter 930 The Ruthless Xisha Army

Li Chongyuan's plan.

It didn't come according to Li Shimin's will.

Carrying food and grass, helping Youzhou to carry soldiers to Yingzhou, or something like this.

Li Chongyuan's plan was to copy Goguryeo's rear, starting from Dahang City.

Why not start with the city of Pyongyang?
Of course it was to cooperate with Li Shimin's frontline attack, otherwise, Li Chongyuan might have sailed around the peninsula and attacked from behind Goguryeo.

However, Li Chongyuan's trip was several years earlier, three or four years earlier than Xue Wanche.

Li Chongyuan remembered.

A few years later, that is, in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's second eastward expedition, he awarded Xue Wanche the general manager of Qingqiu Road Marching, and led an army of [-] to cross the sea from Laizhou Port to attack Goguryeo.

And Xue Wanche's landing point is exactly where Li Chongyuan landed at this time, southwest of Dahang City.

The front came to report that Su Dingfang, Li Chongyuan's striker, had encountered an enemy. Li Chongyuan was not worried that Su Dingfang would not be able to handle it at all.

Datang launched a war against Goguryeo, and it was impossible for Goguryeo not to fortify in advance.

It is heard.

Goguryeo has 60 scholars.

Li Chongyuan didn't know if there were any, but Li Chongyuan absolutely didn't believe that Goguryeo could have 60 soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that even 20 can make up enough.

Of course, Goguryeo dared to claim to have 60 soldiers and horses.

Although Li Chongyuan disagrees, he believes that Goguryeo does not have the 60 soldiers and horses it claims to the outside world, but there must be 60 combatants.

Datang is the upper country.

If the upper country sends troops to the lower country to teach them a lesson, the lower country will inevitably be nervous, and then make a big publicity, saying that the upper country will destroy Goguryeo and so on.

At that time, there will definitely be a lot of people who don't know what to do, and they will pick up the hoes or shovels at home, and they will be regarded as soldiers.

and so.

Li Chongyuan can only think about these 60 troops.

There are 360 ​​prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, with an average of 36 government soldiers per state, and the total number of government soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty will only be [-].

Even with the addition of the Forbidden Army and others, the number of soldiers and horses is only around [-].

A powerful and powerful Tang Dynasty had only 60 soldiers. He went to the country alone, and the country was so weak, how could there be [-] troops.

It's nothing more than pulling people's heads.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan really wasn't worried that the striker Su Dingfang couldn't figure it out, he just said that he knew it, and it was over.

At the beginning of Haishi.

Report from the front, "Report to the chief executive, General Su has cleared out the enemy generals and is going forward to investigate, please give instructions to the chief executive."

"Order the right army to land, the flank army to board the road, and the left army and the center army to continue forward." Li Chongyuan gave an order, and the herald began to convey Li Chongyuan's order.

The Right Route Army and the Flank Army received military orders and landed one after another, leaving behind the paddle steamers.

Li Chongyuan's Central Route Army, and Chen Juan's Left Route Army continued to advance slowly towards Yalushui.

The Third Route Army, with a total of 2 troops, had cleared all the enemy camps in the west of Dahang City at the end of Haishi.

Come on.

There are not many enemy camps in the west of Dahang City, and there will be less than 1000 people.

If the 2 people can't handle the 1000 people, it's better to go back to their hometown Laizhou.

The focus of Goguryeo is not in the Dahang City area.

Their focus is on the front line, as well as Bozhuo City on the north bank of the Yalu River, and the domestic city.

Of course, there is also Bo Zhuokou.

More of course.

Liaodong City was their focus.

after all.

Liaodong City is the main direction of Datang's attack.

For Li Shimin, the direction of their attack was Liaodong City.

As long as the city of Liaodong is captured, Li Shimin believes that Goguryeo will definitely send envoys for peace talks, and then he can command the King of Goguryeo or Yuangai Suwen to kneel down.

But in reality, it's not that simple.

Yuan Gai Suwen is not a person who will subdue.

There is a saying.

After finally controlling a country, how could he, Yuan Gai Suwen, give it up to others, and besides, he was still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was thousands of miles away.

Li Shimin didn't understand.

But Li Chongyuan is very clear that Yuan Gai Suwen is definitely not a person who will bow his head to others.

child time.

[-] soldiers and horses have reached five miles southwest of Dahang City.

Li Chongyuan's boat has also reached the Yalu River in the south of Dahang City.

on board.

Li Chongyuan quietly looked at the building built against the mountain, with Yalushui in front, and mountains on the left, right and back.

Although it is not high, but Li Chongyuan observes by the moonlight, Dahang City is not easy to attack.

Also truthfully.

When Dahang City was built, Goguryeo was not used as a scenic spot, but a military fortress.

Chen Juan came to Li Chongyuan's boat, "Shande, let my left army take the lead in this city."

"Auntie, this city is not easy to attack. Why don't you let Su Dingfang and the others attack first, if it's really not possible, then Auntie will do it for you." Li Chongyuan couldn't refuse.

Chen Juan shook her head, "Shande, Auntie wants to play the first game. No matter what, Auntie doesn't want you to be criticized. Only when Auntie captured this city, no one would say that you took care of Auntie. I gave my aunt such a high military rank."

Li Chongyuan was a little embarrassed.

Dahang City is difficult to attack and easy to defend.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan didn't want his aunt and Chen Huan to suffer any harm.

If something happened, Li Chongyuan would blame himself for the rest of his life.

But Chen Juan's firm eyes made it hard for Li Chongyuan to refuse.

And what Chen Juan said was indeed a problem.

When Li Chongyuan appointed Chen Juan and Chen Huan as the generals of the left and right armies in Laizhou, even Su Dingfang had some minor opinions.

Not to mention the other generals.

As for the soldiers in the army, Li Chongyuan couldn't hear their voices, but he could guess in his heart that among these soldiers, there must be many people who would complain in their hearts.

Think about it, think about it.

Li Chongyuan neither nodded nor shook his head at the end.

Knowing that Li Chongyuan was in trouble, Chen Juan gently hugged Li Chongyuan, "Shande, you don't have to worry about Auntie. Auntie has the firecracker you once gave Auntie, and no one can hurt Auntie. Besides, behind Auntie, If you want to come to Shande, you also know that Shande must not act like a child."

still.

Li Chongyuan still didn't nod or shake his head.

But Chen Juan has gone.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses disembarked, but Dahang City was still in a state of ignorance.

The surveillance camp in the southwest has already been pulled out, so Dahang City naturally has no way of knowing what's going on outside.

Shortly after.

Su Dingfang and the others came, "General Manager, why did you let the left army serve as the vanguard to attack Dahang City? Don't you believe my forward and flanks, Chief Manager? Even though the sum of our two groups of soldiers and horses is only as good as their left and right sides Soldiers and horses are the same, but our two armies can completely capture Dahang City."

"General Su, in this battle, let the left and right armies take the lead. You and General Xu will be guarding the flanks. It just so happens that you already have a lot of complaints in your heart, and it is my intention to let the left and right armies take the lead. At that time, if the left and right The two armies have been unable to attack for a long time, so go on." Li Chongyuan knew that once this matter was started, it could not be closed.

Li Chongyuan couldn't stop his aunt.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan knew that his aunt did this for himself.

Want to stop, but there is no reason to stop.

Li Chongyuan's response left Su Dingfang and General Xu of the flanking army speechless.

This time.

Li Chongyuan only had horses from the Fifth Route Army.

All the way is the Central Route Army led by him.

The two on the left and right are the [-] soldiers and horses led by Chen Juan and Chen Huan each.

The forward is Su Dingfang, and the flank is the general surnamed Xu who came with Su Dingfang, Xu Yi.

original.

Xu Yi was also just a general, but when he was in Laizhou, Xu Yi contributed a lot, so Li Chongyuan temporarily promoted him to be a general and led a group of troops.

As for the rear wing, Li Chongyuan did not set it up.

It's all here, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

If he really couldn't fight, his own paddle steamer was enough for him to retreat, and he didn't need any rear wings at all.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan didn't feel that he couldn't beat him either.

He led [-] soldiers and horses to the expedition, and he also had a paddle steamer as an assistant. If he couldn't pull out even a small Dahang City, then it would be a fart battle.

Furthermore.

It's not like Li Chongyuan has no backup.

Su Dingfang and the others had no choice but to disembark and leave.

Ugly at the right time.

Sudden.

Signal flares lit up in the sky.

Li Chongyuan on the boat saw the signal flare rising into the sky, and knew that Chen Juan and the others were going to attack the city.

"I hope it will be easy to capture this city." Li Chongyuan looked at the signal flares that disappeared in the sky, and said softly to himself, but his eyes never left the Dahang City in front of him.

And this time.

Tang Li suddenly came to report, "Young Lord, the west gate and south gate of Dahang City are wide open. I heard that brothers from Qingfeng Village climbed into the city and opened the gate."

"Okay, that's great!" Li Chongyuan stood up excitedly when he heard the news.

Li Chongyuan forgot that Chen Juan and the others were originally from the Qingfeng Village hidden in Zhongnan Mountain.

The skills of the people in Qingfengzhai are really unrecognizable.

For the regular army, Pancheng may be a bit of a headache, but for the people of Qingfengzhai, it is really easy to catch, as simple as everyday food.

after all.

Where is Zhongnan Mountain?

It was a place with many cliffs and mountains and trees all over the ground.

If you don't have the means to climb rocks, it's really hard to get along in Zhongnanshan.

Therefore, those brothers in Qingfengzhai walked through mountains and forests as easily as walking on flat ground.

Soon.

There was a sky-shattering sound and flames from Dahang City in the distance.

Li Chongyuan stood on the bow deck, looking at the light above Dahang City in the distance, he was really worried and hopeful.

An hour later.

The sky above Dahang City is getting brighter and brighter.

Even Li Chongyuan could hear the shouts in the city quite clearly.

Yin Shizhong.

"Let's go, let's go too." Li Chongyuan finally couldn't help the curiosity and worry in his heart.

Tang Li didn't stop it, and Xing Ba didn't stop it either.

Li Chongyuan got off the boat and led a thousand soldiers from Xiang's family to Dahang City.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the south gate of Dahang City.

Seeing Li Chongyuan approaching, a vanguard captain rushed over from the south gate, "I report to the general manager that Daxing City has been controlled by our army, and the two armies on the left and right are in the process of clearing it. Under the order of General Su, I will guard here." South gate."

"Continue." Li Chongyuan nodded.

into the city.

When Li Chongyuan entered the city, what he saw was not the corpses of remnant soldiers and defeated generals who died all over the place.

And the area near the city gate has the most dead bodies.

The more you go in, the fewer and fewer dead bodies.

All the way.

From what Li Chongyuan saw, there was not a single living person in Goguryeo, but all dead bodies.

Soon.

When Li Chongyuan met Su Dingfang, he said, "I'm telling the general manager that our army has completely controlled Dahang City. The two armies on the left and right were able to win by surprise, and they made a surprise move. They ordered their soldiers to climb the city and open the gate, and took it without a single soldier." Dahang City. The subordinates are convinced."

"Haha, it's fine if you accept it. What I'm most afraid of is that you generals, or other generals, won't accept it. It's fine if you accept it, it's fine if you accept it." Li Chongyuan laughed loudly.

However, after laughing out loud, Li Chongyuan pointed to the corpses all over the floor and asked, "Did you die?"

"Here's the chief executive, when the forwards of our troops entered the city, it was already like this. No one was alive, and they were all dead. Even in the nearby houses and residences, no one was found alive." Su Dingfang pointed Refers to the houses around the street.

They searched.

It has been carefully checked.

What's more, many houses were burned down. You don't need to look carefully to know that there is no one, and there is no one alive.

There are people, and there are only dead bodies, and burned bodies.

Li Chongyuan finished listening.

I actually expected it in my heart.

Once Chen Juan and the others do something, they will basically not survive.

When I was in the southern waters, every time I saw pirates or robbed pirates, I never saw that they would stay alive.

And this time, it was the same when they attacked Goguryeo's Dahang City, and there were no survivors.

ruthless.

In Li Chongyuan's mind, Chen Juan and the others are still ruthless.

Its daybreak.

Li Chongyuan came to the chief official's office in Dahang City.

Before dawn, Li Chongyuan had seen most of the entire Dahang City.

No survivors, all dead bodies.

According to Li Chongyuan's estimate, Chen Juan and the others probably killed more than [-] people in Dahang City.

at this time.

Li Chongyuan finally saw some Goguryeo people who were still alive.

Chen Juan wiped a little blood on her head, and with a faint smile on her face, she came to Li Chongyuan's side, "Shande, live up to expectations, Dahang City was destroyed by us."

"Auntie, you've worked hard. Where's Aunt Huan?" Li Chongyuan nodded heavily, affirming Chen Juan.

Chen Juan pointed to the east, "I went to chase the guard who escaped. Thinking about it, I should be on my way back to the city."

"They?" Li Chongyuan pointed to the Goguryeo people tied into rice dumplings.

Chen Juan walked over and kicked her, "He is Da Mo Da of Dahang City, that is, General Wei of Dahang City, as well as Shenzuo and Taoist envoy. As for Xie Sa of Dahang City, wait for Huan'er to come back. You will see it."

In fact, Li Chongyuan had already understood Goguryeo's two systems of government and army when he was in Laizhou.

The chief official of this Dahang City is called Xun Sa, who is also the first-level governor of the Tang Dynasty.And Da Moda, that is, General Wei.As for the Taoist envoy, he is actually the post of governor, and the assistant is the assistant officer, so please don't drive.

Xun Sa fled, and Chen Huan went after him.

General Wei and others were arrested.

According to Tang Li, they sent people to check all parts of Dahang City, but they didn't find a living person.

For now, these are the few in front of you.

Li Chongyuan didn't ask questions or interrogate them, so he asked people to throw these people to Su Dingfang and asked him to proceed with the interrogation.

But he, together with Chen Juan, went to the east gate, waiting for Chen Huan to chase him back.
