Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 357 Li Shimin's Impulse
The frontline battle in Goguryeo was unexpectedly smooth, and Li Shimin, who was smooth, was already proud of himself.

The Tang army was good at fighting in the wild, so Goguryeo could only hide behind the strong city walls and dare not show its head. So now, in the west of the Yalu River, only a few fortified cities are still stubbornly resisting, and the people in other places have been completely wiped out.

It can be said that even if Li Shimin retreats now, Goguryeo's vitality will be seriously injured, and there is no way to recover its vitality without ten or twenty years.

But then, the war inevitably entered a stalemate. Tang Jun felt like a dog biting a hedgehog in the face of the fortresses one by one, and he couldn't say anything.

It's not that they can't be defeated. Li Shimin is also a good player in attacking the city, but there is no doubt that it takes time to attack the city. Now the strong cities west of the Yalu River are Xincheng, Anshi, Baiyan, and Wuguo. , Houhuang, Hengshan, milled rice, wheat valley, etc.

Except for the new city that guards the entrance of the Great Wall, it is almost along a straight line from the south to the north branch of the Qianshan Mountains. They are all surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. During this time, almost all of his subordinates have encountered it. , but none of them have been defeated. If you want to make progress next, you can only gather people to fight tough battles.

In addition, the new city that Gao Yanshou defended was still strong. Xue Wanche was a generation of famous generals, but he was helpless against this hard bone. The gold capital has been transferred out, but their troops can only chew on rocks, so their morale is not very high.

Even if this new city is allowed to slaughter the city, but this is a pure military city, and if it is all slaughtered, it can grab a few coppers.

Besides, Gao Huizhen, after suppressing the bandits, heard that the Great Wall was destroyed by Datang, so she vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, but she did not lose her composure.

Li Shimin's central army has bypassed Xincheng and spread to all directions of Goguryeo. Gao Huizhen's position has been exposed when he fights all the way back. This man can be regarded as a famous general of a generation. He immediately realized that if he continues like this, he will be surrounded by Li Shimin. Dumplings are out.

Fighting in the field, he has seen the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, and he knows that he is not enough to warm up the Tang army.

After thinking about it, after learning that the main force of the Tang army had bypassed Xincheng, Gao Huizhen decided decisively that they would also bypass, instead of going west, they would go south instead, and went around the boss and boss to Anshi. The plan to fight aid made him quite disgusted.

Here are the locations.

The new city should be the Shanhaiguan Pass of the later generations. The location of Huludao is just stuck in the throat of the pass and outside the pass. Of course, the Great Wall of Goguryeo at this time is far from being comparable to the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It's just a small town, otherwise Tang Jun wouldn't be able to get around it.

However, if this place is not taken down, a large amount of food and supplies will not be able to come in safely. After the army goes around, they can only temporarily feed on the enemy. This move is actually quite risky.

The reason why he did this is that he has the confidence. He asked Li Daozong to fight Shabei. That place is Dalian in later generations. Now their entire army is in the territory of Liao Province in later generations. If Shabei is used as a supply base, even if they ignore Xincheng It's okay.

And where is Anshi?It is almost in the area of ​​Yingkou and Anshan, that is, the north of Dalian. At this time, it is just stuck on the only way from Shabei City to deliver supplies to the army.

To put it simply, the problem Li Shimin is facing now is to either take down Xincheng or Anshi as soon as possible. This time must be fast, otherwise the army will be in danger of running out of food. The distance is not too far, and they can support each other. Even if he is an opponent, he can't help but give Gao Huizhen a thumbs up.

This move is beautiful.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the chess game is, it can only be disgusting and disgusting at best. The battle in the west of the Yalu River has been decided, and now it can only be a desperate struggle. Under the general situation, no amount of personal ability can turn the tide.

Chain reaction, with Gao Huizhen entering Anshi City, the strategic intention of abandoning Shabei City has become obvious. Not everyone belongs to Zhang Xun, so Shabei City was quickly taken under Li Daozong's offensive. Wan Huqi also freed his hands because of this, and after leaving thousands of people to defend the city, he led his army northward and stationed between Xincheng and Anshi, so that they did not dare to contact and support each other.

So Li Shimin decided to call back the army, and first try his best to capture Anshi. After all, this place was originally just a supply base for the Great Wall. The small city walls are low and the defenses are not perfect.

As for the new city, let Xue Wanche go slowly, even if they can't beat them, they will be trapped to death. Anyway, with Qin Hao's navy, they are so flexible in combat.

Poor Xue Wanche, who made him belong to Li Jiancheng, and all the dirty work is his.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is also a well-informed soldier. Even if Xue Wanche could bear it, the soldiers under him would not be able to bear it, so he promised him to wait for Qingzhou after the row of small towns in the Qianshan Mountains to be broken. The empress of the city allowed him to slaughter the city for three days, so that they could earn some money at least.

Under the city of Anshi, Li Shimin rode a horse and walked around the city twice. Except for a trench that was not very deep, there was not even a moat, and the city was indeed not high. , Even the siege equipment does not need to be built.

With a sneer, he said: "Stubbornly resisting, overthinking one's strength, come on, who will take this city down for me."

When the Tang army was in full swing, everyone called for a battle. In the end, Cheng Mingzhen grabbed the command flag and led his soldiers to rush forward, carrying sacks and filling the trench.

Anyone who has fought in battle knows that in a siege battle, the first wave of casualties must be the worst, because when the defenders are most abundant in terms of morale and supplies, they will wait for a few days or a few days to be surrounded. A whole day after a month may not kill many people.

That Gao Huizhen was also a good fighter, so after Cheng Mingzhen rushed up, arrows rained all over the sky, and many people were shot to death.

Li Shimin was furious, and scolded angrily: "Is it possible that my Tang soldiers can't fight a tough battle anymore? When they robbed money, they all looked like they were rushing to reincarnate. Just attacking such a small city, how dare you retreat? Cheng Mingzhen , how did you lead the soldiers?"

Cheng Mingzhen's face was flushed, and he felt a little aggrieved but he didn't dare to speak back. He knew that this was a sage's excuse.

Goguryeo is full of general-purpose coupons, which is really exciting. The soldiers are not afraid of death, but they will withdraw when they encounter Jiancheng and cannot fight for two days. The soldiers are full of money and no one wants to fight. Fight hard and hard, not because they are afraid of death, but because they are afraid that all the general coupons on the ground will be snatched up by the friendly forces when they attack the city. Otherwise, Datang will not always let Xue Wanche go to besiege the new city.

Li Shimin wanted to talk about this a long time ago, Cheng Mingzhen just hit the muzzle of the gun, and he deserved it.

Who is Li Shimin, the king of the show in the Tang Dynasty? It’s not enough to scold a few words, but he actually walked forward, came to the sandbags, got off the horse, resisted the sandbags, and rushed forward with the army .

All civil and military officials were shocked, especially Cheng Mingzhen, who felt like he was about to pee out of fear, Li Shimin actually wanted to be a death squad to carry sandbags?
Fuck, saint, calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive.
