Chapter 633: Jincheng
Leng Feng interjected and said, "That being the case, then Xue Rengui, why don't you also follow Tang Jin to act, it is very suitable for the guerrilla general to fight guerrillas." ”
As one of Tang Jin's teachers, Leng Feng naturally knew Tang Jin's plan, which was nothing more than fighting guerrillas. If 5,000 people want to make a difference in Goryeo, then they can't fight hard at all, and they can only avoid the important and light.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but look at the emperor, and said, he longed for it to fight with Tang Jin, and it must be very interesting.
Li Shimin thought for a while before saying, "Yes, but we have to wait until after attacking Jincheng." ”
Geumseong is the last big city between the border of Goryeo and the hinterland, and although Eunseong is as famous as Geumseong, it cannot be compared with Geumseong in terms of geographical location or city walls.
If Yuangai Suwen wants to resist the footsteps of the Tang Army, Jincheng is his last chance.
Xue Rengui naturally received the order. Jincheng is the last big battle, and it is also his last chance to make great achievements.
After Tang Jin and Xue Rengui went out, Li Shimin asked Leng Feng, "Do you think it is appropriate to give Tang Jin 5,000 people?" ”
"It's not appropriate."
Leng Feng said without hesitation, "If you want to give full play to the effect of 5,000 people, it is best to match him with light cavalry, and when the mobility is enough, you can give full play to their effect." ”
Li Shimin nodded, he also thought of this, and asked Leng Feng to confirm it. After all, he didn't know Tang Jin's plans.
After two days of repairs at the station, Li Shimin continued to lead the army to advance and approached Jincheng. In the face of absolute power, there is no longer even a need for Li Jing's change.
Let the city be strong, and I will reduce ten benefits by myself.
The army advanced two miles in front of Jincheng and began to encamp.
The first few cities suffered a lot of losses, and even the Xiongguan such as the garrison pass could not resist the power of gunpowder weapons. Jincheng, naturally, can't either.
Looking at the heightened city wall and the dense trebuchet behind the city wall to assemble the trebuchet's wood, Leng Feng said, "Yuangai Suwen can be seen that when dealing with gunpowder weapons, it is useless to shrink into a turtle shell. ”
With trebuchets and other weapons, Goryeo and Datang can still fight for a while, in exchange for some casualties, if they just shrink into defense, then they can only be beaten.
Li Shimin put away the binoculars and said with a smile, "It's a bit of courage for the Koreans, but in order to prevent the trebuchet from being destroyed, they prepared so much wood, didn't they think that they would kill themselves?" ”
The generals also burst out laughing.
When they see wood, the first thing that comes to their mind is fire.
And arson, what could be more suitable than an incendiary bomb?
"Ordered Su Dingfang to lead 30,000 soldiers around the rear, Chi Gong, the left wing lieutenant, led 20,000, and the right wing Cheng Yanjin led 20,000. I want to take the Golden City once and for all. Hopefully, Yuangai Suwen is among them! ”
If the strength is sufficient, there is no need to follow the siege of the city without one, as long as there is a big fire, they can be forced to escape.
After the 70,000-strong army began to move, Li Shimin arranged for the quartermaster battalion to prepare incendiary bombs.
Just when the soldiers were nervously preparing to attack the city, a hanging basket suddenly appeared on the city wall, and a soldier fell to the ground along the rope.
Is this going to be a conversation?
Li Shimin instructed the archers not to attack and waited for him to approach.
After the inspection, the soldier walked up to Li Shimin wearing only his underwear, and asked, "Are you the emperor of the Tang Kingdom?" ”
Li Shimin nodded, "Yes, what's the matter, are you going to surrender?" ”
The soldier shook his head again and again: "We are not going to surrender. ”
Li Jiyi whipped on the chariot, "Then what are you doing here!" ”
Li Shimin glared at Li Ji, "Shut up." ”
Li Ji hurriedly shut his mouth.
The soldier was frightened by Li Ji, and only after a long time did he say, "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, the general ordered me to ask you, General Gao Huizhen, is he already dead?" ”
Gao Huizhen died under a sniper rifle, and the soldiers stationed at the pass were all on the run, so no one paid attention to his fall. When he arrived in Jincheng, the whole army was up and down, and there was no Gao Huizhen anywhere.
Therefore, Gao Yanshou suspected that Gao Huizhen was likely to have died at the hands of Tang Jun.
There is nothing to hide from this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right, his head has been sealed by me." ”
Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly said, "Then Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, can we exchange it for General Gao Huizhen's body?" Our generals are willing to pay the price that satisfies you. ”
Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are both generals under Yuangai Suwen, although they usually go their separate ways, and even occasionally quarrel, but, at this time, it is Gao Yanshou's unshirkable responsibility to redeem Gao Huizhen's corpse.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Your Jincheng is in danger, do you still have time to think about this?" You go back, Gao Huizhen's head, I want to bring it back to Chang'an to worship the ancestral temple, it is impossible to exchange it! ”
Not only did he want Gao Huizhen's head, but he also wanted Gao Yanshou's head!
The soldier trembled and said, "Then, Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, can we allow us to send the people who have been stationed here out of the city?" The people are innocent. ”
Because the Tang army came too quickly, Jincheng had not yet arranged the transfer of the people.
The gunpowder weapons of the Tang army were so fierce that it was easy to injure the people by mistake.
The people of Goryeo are innocent, not to mention, if too many people are killed, what is the use of the land of Goryeo alone? Collecting the land and codifying the people is the greatest gain that can be gained in a war.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, I will allow you to let the people go, and the Tang soldiers will not stop them, nor will they attack the city." ”
The guarantee made by an emperor himself is still credible. After the soldiers surrendered to Li Shimin, they returned to Jincheng.
Of the two things he came to negotiate this time, at least one was completed.
On the other side of the city wall, there began to be hanging baskets constantly sending the people out of the city, with Li Shimin's order, and the army led by Su Dingfang in the rear did not prevent the people from leaving.
After all the hanging baskets were recovered, Su Ding ordered the troops to close the line, blocking all the retreats of the soldiers in the city.
Surrounded on all sides, it was a bloody battle.
Because the Goryeo soldiers did not have a way to retreat when they were stationed at the pass.
Li Shimin drew out the sword of the Son of Heaven, "Attack!" ”
Following his order, a total of six hot air balloons flew up and floated towards the city.
The hot air balloons were loaded with incendiary bombs, and these incendiary bombs were originally intended to be used by Li Shimin to send hot air balloons to steal the granaries of the Goryeo army.
However, under the strategy of Yuangai Su Wenjian and Qingye, since the stationing at the pass, all the grain and grass have been transported, and the Molotov cocktail has no use.
But now, in order to deal with the gunpowder weapons of the Tang army, Jincheng prepared a large number of trebuchets and wood for the manufacture of trebuchets. He made up his mind to use trebuchets in exchange for the casualties of the Tang soldiers as much as possible.
