Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 476 Chapter 487: Goguryeo Revenge

The enemy army entered the range of bows and arrows, and the feathers and arrows shot in volley. The enemy army had wooden shields, and the casualties were not too serious. They still held the shields and rushed down the city carrying the ladder. After the enemy archers entered the range, they began to shoot back. Hao should be fortunate that the enemy army does not have heavy engineering equipment such as catapults, otherwise the difficulty of defending the city will be greatly increased.

The enemy army set up a ladder under the city and began to attack the city, and the charging cart was also pushed out, and marched towards the city gate. Li Hao watched Li Zhen command the battle, and found that he was still very good at commanding. It's not like going to the battlefield for the first time. Although some details may not be in place, Li Hao will immediately remind him.

The rocks and rolling logs from the top of the city fell one after another, and the ladder was pushed away as soon as it was erected. The enemy suffered heavy casualties, but Li Hao and the others were also having a hard time. There were too many archers in the enemy army, and the arrows were like rain, covering a large area Some soldiers may be shot by arrows hiding behind the battlements.

Li Hao observed the situation on the battlefield, and ordered: "Shoot and kill the enemy archers first."

Li Zhen quickly ordered the archers to shoot at the enemy's archers. Although their archers were not as many as the opponent's, they were covered by the city wall after all, and they were condescending, taking advantage of the geographical advantage.

"Report! The enemy army on the west wall is attacking fiercely and needs support!"

"Report! The enemy's attack on the east wall is fierce, and support is needed!"

The messengers from the east and west walls came to ask for help. It seemed that they wanted Li Hao to transfer the [-] defenders on the south wall to help them.

After all, there was no battle on the southern city wall, and the two thousand soldiers were standing there empty-handed.

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, and began to send an order: "Transfer 1000 people from the south wall to the east wall for support, and the west wall will start to use gold soup and fire oil!"

As soon as Li Hao's army order was issued, the messengers immediately went to deliver the order. Soon, a thousand troops on the south wall began to mobilize to support the east wall, and on the west wall, many large pots were set up on the wall to cook the diluted excrement. The stench was so bad that the long-lost golden soup reappeared on the battlefield.

When Li Hao was struggling to defend Tingzhou, Jin Tang did a great job. That time, Jin Tang created a plague in the enemy camp, causing the enemy to lose more than half of their troops, and the Western Turks retreated directly. This time, Li Hao hoped that Jintang would create another miracle.

Golden soup is not 100% able to cause cholera, there is a certain probability in it, of course, this is also related to the climate season, in hot weather, the probability of cholera is extremely high, and the speed of infection is also extremely fast, but right now In late spring and early summer, and this is the north, summer comes slowly. With the current weather, it really depends on luck to cause cholera.

The appearance of the golden soup and fire oil scared away all the Khitan troops in the city, and many soldiers who were scalded by the golden soup were rescued. Li Hao hoped that one of them would get cholera, as long as one of them could infect the whole population. Thousands, infecting [-], or even more, can change the overall situation.

The fire on the east wall was raging, which temporarily hindered the enemy's siege. Li Hao immediately dispatched 1000 people from the east wall to fight against Xue Yantuo's army to the north. Xue Yantuo's army had three people, and it was difficult to deal with it. Joining 1000 people seemed to have little effect.

Li Hao also ordered that all the golden soup be used, so big iron pots were set up at the top of the city and began to cook the golden soup. Complaints, they are the group of people who are powerless to fight. Since the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are fighting for them, they have to stand behind the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and do their part for them. cohesion.

Although there is a lot of kerosene stored in the city, Li Hao doesn't intend to use it all at once. He must save it. The two sides are still fighting. Without heavy siege equipment, it is really difficult for the enemy to enter the city. They can only rely on their numbers. act violently.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and Murqin ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. He also saw that it would be difficult to attack the city in this way, and even if he could, he would suffer heavy losses. The troops are exhausted, otherwise how will the next battle be fought? After all, their goal is not only Youzhou, but the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The enemy army withdrew, and Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. This battle can be said to be a probing attack by the enemy army, but the enemy army's offensive was still very fierce. After counting the battle damage, Li Hao and the others lost more than 1000 to [-] people. It's not bad, the enemy's losses are estimated to be more than twice as much as theirs, but Li Hao still frowned. Now that the city is short of troops, he feels sorry for the loss of one person, and now he can only pin his hopes on Jintang.

However, Li Hao didn't seem to be lucky this time. The enemy army scalded by the golden soup did not cause cholera, but it did cause some other infectious diseases, but they were quickly killed in the cradle.

The enemy army rested for a day, and attacked the city again on the third day. It was another fierce battle. Li Hao used the golden soup again. The hot golden soup combined with the strange smell drove the enemy back again.

After Mu Erqin returned to the camp, he counted the battle damage and found that more than 4000 people had been lost. In addition to the loss of more than 3000 people last time, he had already lost 8000 people. However, they have not yet reached the top of the city, which made him He was very discouraged, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for the stinky gold soup. The Tang people really know how to play, and they have to collect their shit and pee, but the prairie people are not like this.

Just when Murqin was getting irritable, another soldier came to report that several wounded soldiers in the battalion had contagious diseases.

Murqin immediately ordered to bury these infected soldiers alive. After all, he had suffered a lot in the past two days, and this time he must prevent it early.

Once again, the barbarian army was repelled, and the whole city cheered, but Li Hao was frowning. This time the golden soup failed to produce a miraculous effect, which made him very depressed. In the previous two days of the war, another thousand and eight hundred people were lost. Now there are only 800 troops left in the city, and more than 1 people are slightly or seriously injured. The situation is getting more and more serious.

Unexpectedly, this was not the worst. Just when Li Hao was defending the city, another large army crossed Juyong Pass and defeated the [-] Tang troops who came to support Youzhou. This large army was from Goguryeo. The army, and the [-] army led by Gai Suwen himself.

Although Goguryeo's national power is weak, the Goguryeo people are still very fierce, because Goguryeo is located in Liaodong, and the environment in Liaodong is harsh. There have been many ethnic groups in this place in history, but every ethnic group that appeared is very fierce. Surviving in a harsh environment is exactly what the saying goes.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's imperial conquest, almost destroyed Goguryeo. In the end, Goguryeo's [-] troops guarded Anshi City. It was only because of the cold weather and harsh environment that the Tang Dynasty retreated. This is a great shame for Goguryeo. Gai Suwen was not a fuel-efficient lamp. After three years of recuperation and rectification, Goguryeo's national strength gradually recovered. Gai Suwen wanted to take revenge, but he never had a chance. He has been secretly sending people to monitor every move of Datang border, like a wild wolf, spying on Datang.

After Gai Suwen led an army of [-] to enter the customs, he happened to meet the army sent by two states and counties in the north to Youzhou for support. He took the opportunity to defeat Datang's reinforcements, and then attacked the two states and counties in the north of Youzhou. The prefectures and counties originally had limited military strength, and lost [-] troops. The defense was naturally weak, and they were captured by Gai Suwen in one fell swoop. Thirty thousand troops came to attack Youzhou.

Li Hao and the army of the three tribes have been in a stalemate for nearly a month, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. In the past month, they have gone through 1 battles, and there are only 6000 defenders in the city. Of the remaining [-] people, [-] are Li. Hao temporarily recruited young men from the city, that is to say, there are only more than [-] combatable troops in Youzhou City.

And the coalition forces of the three races suffered even more losses. Now there are only 8000 people left in the [-]-strong army. The biggest loss is Xue Yantuo, who lost nearly half of Xue Yantuo's [-]-strong army.

After besieging Youzhou for 27 days, they still failed to capture Youzhou City. Moreover, they paid such a heavy price. The morale of the coalition forces of the three clans was a little low. Murqin was also frowning all day long. Datang's reinforcements are coming soon, he regrets it now, why didn't he bring more troops, he thought that the 1 army could beat Datang by surprise, but he didn't expect Li Hao to be so capable, more than [-] people just Stick to Youzhou for a month.

Not only Mu Erqin, but even the king of Wei, Li Tai, regretted it quite a bit. He finally realized that rebellion is really not an easy task. It took a month for a [-] army to attack a Youzhou, and there was no hope at all. He is very manic now, he wants to kill people, he wants to kill all the three old things of the Lu family, he blames them, they are the ones who encouraged him to rebel, and they are also the ones who made the decision and let the barbarians enter the customs. Fortunately, he is completely There is no way out, he is a little awake, in fact, it is good to be a stable prince, at least he can live happily, eat whatever he wants, play whatever he wants, and do some things he likes to do, which is pretty good.

But now, he has to worry about it every day. When he thinks that he is very likely to be defeated and taken back to Chang'an, even if he is the emperor's own son, even if Li Shimin loved him very much before, so what, now he is colluding with foreigners to rebel. Li Chengqian made a bigger mistake, and his end must be worse than Li Chengqian's. The Chinese, Chinese and military officials will not let him go, and what is waiting for him must be decapitated.

Just when Li Tai was in panic all day long, a large army appeared, a total of 3 people, came to the city of Youzhou, it was Gai Suwen's Goguryeo army.

Lu Gongwang, who was also very anxious at first, was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly sent Li Tai to see Gai Suwen, and sent people to prepare money, food and women. With Gai Suwen's help, he believed that he would definitely win Youzhou in one fell swoop.

Does Li Tai still have a choice? The answer is no. In order to survive, he can only sink deeper and deeper. He hurriedly brought a generous gift, accompanied by Murqin Lu Gongwang and others, to visit Gaisu in the Goguryeo camp arts.

　It's been a long time since I asked for a ticket. Today I ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket.
