The army had just recaptured Liaocheng, and the people in the city had not yet received real safety.

Li Xiaogong sent people to rebuild the city in order to erect a barrier at the southern gate to resist the enemy's advance.

At this time, Eleven gave him an idea, "Dashuai, why don't you treat others the way they do?" ”

"Landmines?" How could Li Xiaogong not understand, but unfortunately the number of mines in his hands was not very large.

Eleven said: "The mines outside the northern city gate were all buried by Goguryeo instructing the people. They remember the location, and we can dig out some of it. ”

"Hurry up!"

Where would there be any reluctance, that's a great thing!

At the same time, he also ordered someone to send the military information here back to Chang'an.

30,000 people, just recaptured Liaocheng, I don't know how many enemy troops to face, but a big victory is very important for Chang'an at this moment.

The 1,000 artillery pieces brought this time, counting the more than 2,000 captured in the city, each of the three city gates in the south, east, and west were 1,000.

The North Gate is too special for people to reach without a guide through the dense forest.

The path he had walked on before was also garrisoned by Li Xiaogong.

They can find it, but it doesn't mean that the Goguryeo people can't find it, and the necessary vigilance is still there!

He won a great victory, killed 5,000 enemies and rescued 50,000 people.

At the same time, in another letter, there is also Li Xiaogong's introduction to Nucheng.

Of the 200,000 border passers, more than 60,000 died tragically, and more than 50,000 remained in the slave city, and the remaining 80,000 were taken farther away by Goguryeo.

As soon as the news came back to Datang, Li Shimin was very happy, because Li Xiaogong had won.

But after the second battle report was placed in front of him, his heart was full of anger.

"Look! Give me a good look! ”

smashed in the main hall, all the courtiers were silent, I don't know why His Majesty was so angry because it was obviously a big victory.

The eldest grandson stepped forward and lifted the letter, and when he saw half of it, his hands trembled a little.

Passed on one by one, there was no joy of winning.

It took seven days to send back the news from Liaocheng, and just when Li Shimin was still furious about the slave city, Li Xiaogong ran into trouble again.

According to the cycle of the Goguryeo people transporting gunpowder to Liaocheng, once every ten days.

But Liaocheng has been recaptured by the Tang army, which also caused the other party to perceive the changes in Nucheng.

First of all, the first point is that the corpse pit outside the city has disappeared, and all the corpses of the slaves have been collected and buried on the spot.

The second is the city gate, you need to know that the Goguryeo people do not have the habit of repairing the city gate for others.

The Tang people have recaptured Liaocheng!

The news soon spread to a new city less than a thousand miles from the border between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Gai Suwen's third son, Yuan Nan, was the commander of the army in this invasion of the Tang Dynasty.

Knowing that the slave city was lost, Yuan Nanchan immediately ordered the army to march.

originally planned to devour Datang little by little, but now that the other party has discovered their "means".

If you hide it again, it will inevitably make the Tang Dynasty feel that they Goguryeo will only steal.

The army in his hands was 200,000, of which 150,000 were slave soldiers, all of whom were ordinary people from Baekje, Silla.

The army is heading south, and the goal is to recapture Nucheng and attack the Tang Dynasty!

It took several days and finally reached 30 miles outside Liaocheng.

Ordered the whole army to gain a foothold, and then Yuan Nan sent 20,000 slave soldiers to test the situation in the city.

In the city, after Li Xiaogong put down the binoculars, he gasped.

As far as the eye could see, it was by no means seventy or eighty thousand people, and he had a rough guess.

Not to mention that the other party has more than 150,000 people, and with 30,000 people in his hands alone, it will definitely be a fiasco.

"Dashuai, the other party is attacking!"

In the face of the diversion of the enemy army, 10,000 people marched forward, and Li Xiaogong's eyes were full of bloodthirst.

"No need to open fire, there are mines, they can't get through!"

Eleven hurriedly shook his head, "The handsome must not, his subordinates feel that they should be shelled!" ”

"Give Ben Shuai a reason!"

"The mines are exhausted, and the right person can move forward unscrupulously, so such a killing move should not be released early."

"You mean not to let them come close?"

"Yes, the day my subordinates think that the mine will really be used, maybe we will have no way out!"

There are not many mines buried, only 3,000, and many more remain on the land outside the North City Gate.

The Eleventh only dug up a small part, and the rest were too dangerous, for fear of accidentally detonating some of them and causing a chain reaction, so they had to stop there.

On Li Xiaogong's side, he arranged for the people in the city to move along the small road and return to Datang.

Staying in the city, he could not guarantee the safety of the people.

More than 50,000 people, who were transferred for more than ten days, still have thousands of people remaining.

Now that the enemy army has appeared, it is not good to leave the city again, if something goes wrong, let the other party find that the secret road can bypass Liaocheng, I am afraid that it will cause a greater threat.

30,000 people defend the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, so it would be false to say that you are not nervous.

In the face of the cruel and ruthless Goguryeo people who looked like mad dogs, the anger in the hearts of the Tang soldiers was very much in need of a fight to vent to their heart's content.

"Commander's order, artillery preparation!"

Thousands of cannons were facing the enemy, and in order to seek stability, Li Xiaogong also dismantled 200 cannons from the east and west city gates and sent them to the south gate.

A total of 1,400 guns, one round of shelling, enough to cause damage to thousands of people.

The reason why there is such a large number of artillery in Nucheng is because Yuan Nanchan used this place as a springboard to invade the Tang Dynasty.

Mobilizing domestic supplies and sending them to Nucheng continuously also made Nucheng a supply point in their Goguryeo war.

Now that Nucheng has been recaptured by the Tang Dynasty, it means that he has suffered huge losses.

The 20,000 slave soldiers kept moving forward, and soon approached the range of the artillery.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers did not have an order to save ammunition, and now that there is enough gunpowder in the slave city, it is natural to teach these Goguryeo a good lesson.

"Artillery preparation!"

"Put!"

The sound is like thunder, continuous.

The 20,000 Goguryeo slave soldiers were beaten and retreated again and again before they could get close to the city.

Eleven's face was serious, and he quickly saw his suspicions, and came to Li Xiaogong's side to open his mouth.

Li Xiaogong put down the binoculars and said Eleven's thoughts: "Auxiliaries!" ”

That is, the meaning of "slave soldiers" in the Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of slave soldiers, Goguryeo is really a great ability!

More than 10,000 corpses were dropped, and black smoke rose and covered the sky.

Yuan Nanchan's face was very ugly, "It seems that the Tang Army has already obtained the artillery I left in Nucheng!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, are we going to send someone to attack next?"

"Wait until the night to try again, it's not good that the slave soldiers have died too much, I still need them to attack Datang for me!"

"Yes!"

After a trial, the war fell silent.

The Tang army was in full swing and ready for battle, but the other party had no intention of attacking at all.

"The enemy's strategy? Or a night attack? ”

Li Xiaogong thought calmly, had no clue, and ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest, staring at each other, and never allowing the slightest mistake.

He convened the generals to discuss the matter, and deliberately took the initiative to attack Goguryeo by surprise!
