Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 332 Battle One
Moreover, Liaoxi Feng Daiwen has been in business for many years and has put in countless efforts. If he is not absolutely sure, he will definitely ask for help.

Li Jing and Feng Daiwen have exchanged military affairs many times, and he knows best that he likes to crush the enemy with absolute strength, and he rarely takes action if he is not [-]% sure.

"Don't worry about Liaoxi, just pay attention to it at any time. What's going on in other places right now, the hearts of the people in the country must be stable." Li Shimin raised his hand and said seriously.

Hearing Li Shimin, Li Jing said that Liaoxi was fine, so that everyone could feel at ease and believed that Liaoxi would be fine.

"The old minister suggested that the Wadao navy go to the Baekje area, look for opportunities to attack, and force them to return to the army for rescue, so as to reduce the pressure on western Liaoning." Yang Gongren suggested.

"I think it's best to go to Liaoxi first and discuss with Feng Weiguo, so as not to disrupt his arrangement." Li Jing always had an intuition in his heart, thinking that Feng Daiwen would not simply defend, but would inevitably cause trouble. This feeling was quite strong. In Li Jing's heart, this is a restless master, and things will happen if nothing happens, not to mention that this time they are sent to his base camp, and they have been preparing for more than half a year.

When Li Shimin heard what Li Jing said, he also felt something in his heart. He looked at Li Jing and found that he was thinking, and he immediately confirmed his conjecture in his heart. I will never forgive you."

Now everyone can hear it. It seems that Li Shimin has full confidence in Feng Daiwen. Not only can he defend, but he seems to have concluded that the coalition forces will inevitably fail.

"My minister will go to Guannei Road today, lead a death squad of [-] Japanese slaves, and recruit [-] soldiers from the Guannei Road to fight Xue Yantuo." Li Jing said to Li Shimin, clasping his hands.

"All the battles ahead are entrusted to Aiqing, I look forward to Aiqing's victory!" Li Shimin got up and returned the salute.

"I will live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty!" Li Jing bowed sideways and returned the salute.

The two staged a grand drama of the monarch and his ministers entrusting each other in the imperial study room, which was recorded by the historian, and the other ministers were excited about it. They were obviously looking forward to the expedition of the Great Tang Army God, the Army Breaker Star, and the Tota Heavenly King.

…………

On October [-]th of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, led [-] cavalry, [-] Japanese slave death squads, and [-] Taoist soldiers from within the pass to Shuofang.

On the 25th of the same month, Gar Dongzan led an army of 20 from Tubo to attack Songzhou. At the beginning, Tubo tried and feinted many times, but Li Xiaogong responded calmly and resolved them one by one.

Seeing that it was impossible to outsmart it, Gar Dongzan adopted siege and ordered three sides to besiege in turn, intending to take Songzhou by force, and he did not stop day and night for three consecutive days.

Due to the division of troops in the Tang Dynasty, Songzhou only had [-] elite soldiers and [-] government soldiers. They were attacked continuously, and they were too tired to pull their bows and arrows. They had to hold on and started a bloody battle.

…………

Jianmen Pass, Jianmen is dangerous in the world, Tuyuhun tried many times, but there was nothing he could do about Jianmen Pass, Murong Xiaojun turned to attack Anrong City, Anrong City's small soldiers were weak, it was broken day and night, and there were thousands of soldiers in the city , all three thousand young and strong died for the country, but fortunately, the people in the city had already evacuated.

When Hou Junji heard that the city was broken, he was furious and sent troops to attack, with [-] against [-], and fought against Anrong City.

Hou Junji used shield soldiers to cover, and used eight oxen crossbows and catapults to storm Anrong City, and then the archers advanced, and the small town of Anrong was almost covered by arrow rain, causing Tuyuhun to suffer a lot of casualties.

Hou Junji wanted to avenge the destruction of the city. This was also because he was the only one in the defense area to be breached first, and this also made him feel ashamed. With his strong personality, he naturally wanted to take revenge.

Murong Xiaojun was not weak either, seeing that he could not hold his head up under the pressure of Tang, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack, and [-] cavalry came out from both sides of the city, pounced on Hou Junji's siege soldiers.

Hou Junji had been prepared for a long time. He set up a long spear formation, a forest of long spears, flying crossbows and arrows, and a giant steel shield for protection, causing heavy casualties to the cavalry who rushed in. Then all [-] cavalry were dispatched to repel the Tuyuhun cavalry who were not worth the loss.

Tuyuhun suffered [-] casualties in this battle, and none of the siege equipment was damaged. Hundreds of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were also killed by the cavalry.

Hou Junji suppressed it with bows and arrows, and continued to lead the army to attack by force. Once he attacked the city wall, Tuyuhun forgot to take it back.

Because of Datang's excellent equipment, the suppression of siege weapons, and the lack of archers, it was very difficult for Tuyuhun to defend. Now that the offense and defense are switched, Tuyuhun has to stick to the small town. They are all cavalry, so they are not willing to admit defeat.

For three consecutive days, Hou Junji failed to attack at the cost of thousands of casualties. Finally, he calmed down and began to slowly attack the city with siege weapons, putting pressure on the enemy and harassing them day and night.

Just as Murong Xiaojun was about to retreat, Duan Zhixuan led three thousand Xuanjia troops to block Tuyuhun's retreat.Li Shimin's pro-army, there is no one in the foreign race around the Tang Dynasty who does not know, and Murong Xiaojun is no exception.

The Xuanjia Army is famous for its black iron armor all over its body. It is a heavy armored cavalry. It was formed by the elite of Li Shimin's selected army. When he attacked Wang Shichong, 3000 people entered and exited several times among the [-] army, and became famous all over the world.

Although the Tang Dynasty has sufficient soldiers, the number has not increased, but the iron armor has changed to steel armor, and the weapons in the hands are all long-handled sabers, hand crossbows, one man and two horses, 3000 people stand outside the city, silent, but the watching Murong However, Xiaojun could feel a chilling aura, and he could tell from the uniform control of the battle horse that this was a group of elites who had been cooperating for a long time.

"Brother Duan! Why are you here in person?" Hou Junji asked very unexpectedly when he saw Duan Zhixuan leading the Xuanjia Army.

"I've met Chief Hou! Your Majesty asked the subordinates to bring secret weapons to help Chief Executive defeat the enemy!" Duan Zhixuan clasped his fists and said.

"Can you tell me what the secret weapon is?" Hou Junji asked.

"Fire oil refined from stone lacquer, packed in earthenware pots, and thrown into the city with a catapult, can turn the entire small town into a wasteland." Duan Zhixuan introduced carefully without hiding anything.

"Haha! Then please let Brother Duan do what you want, and I will fully cooperate." Hou Junji laughed happily when he heard this. After all, there is no problem if he wants to capture here, but it cannot prevent Tuyuhun from escaping.

"That's good, the lower officials have overstepped their authority. Please also ask the chief to order the city to be sealed off in all directions, distribute the catapults to the four gates, and after the preparations are complete, use the horn to order and launch the attack at the same time." Duan Zhixuan has always been serious. As the leader of Li Shimin's personal guards, although Hou Junji was the chief of the Jiannan Road marching army, so of course he didn't care too much about his attitude, and immediately explained his arrangement. As for the operation, of course, he had the assistance of the Xuanjia Army.

Of course Hou Junji was familiar with Duan Zhixuan, and he didn't care about his attitude, so he immediately followed his orders and got people to do it.

The four city gates were all blocked with spear shields, and horses were deployed to dig out pits for trapping the horses.
