The proportion of battle losses under Yanjin City is too amazing, for the infantry with heavy armor and heavy shields, Yuangai Suwen can only smash a little if he launches an indiscriminate attack on the catapult on the city wall, not too unlucky, the Tang army that was smashed is almost able to hold on to the evacuation of the battlefield, their military order is like this, if they are injured, they will quickly evacuate while they still have strength, and there are doctors in the army who will treat them with all their might.

In just an hour of charging and fighting, the Goguryeo coalition army lost at least 40,000 or 50,000 people, while the Tang army only lost less than 300 people, and the wounded, as long as they still had the strength to come back, had almost no worries about their lives.

Under this huge proportion of battle losses, the soldiers of the Goguryeo coalition army have been frightened, and the numerical advantage is no longer enough to bring them confidence, so under the intensive shooting of crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, they invariably chose to retreat, giving the Tang army a chance to kick.

After all, the Tang army only has 100,000 horses, just two hours or so of fighting, plus chariots, crossbowmen, etc., the Tang army has actually more than 50,000 people participating in the battle, and most of the infantry is close to exhaustion, because, the price of enhancing their defense is that their weight is extremely high, even if their daily training intensity is very high before, but under the weight of almost sixty catties, after nearly two hours of vigorous exercise, their spare strength is not much.

Of course, if this was a conventional war, the Tang army had actually won the victory, and the Goguryeo coalition army sent 150,000 troops, but left nearly 50,000 corpses, and the death rate exceeded 30%, and in the conventional war, the soldier death rate was more than 30%, and this army would have been defeated long ago.

These allied forces of various countries can only hate themselves for getting on the thief ship of Goguryeo, and there are as many as 300,000 descendants of Yuangai Suwen guarding the city as a warlord, and if they dare to retreat without permission, they will die.

The Tang army's arrow suppression consumption was very large, but it couldn't keep shooting like this, and soon, Xue Li, Cheng Mingzhen and others led the heavy cavalry to charge again······

Zhang Gongjin, who was hiding in the mountains and forests to find a way, suddenly thought that one year during the Shangyuan Festival, Li Jing talked to his own people about the huge sky lantern placed in Wangjiang Tower, at that time he had said that this sky lantern can be used as a means of battlefield communication, and now, Zhang Gongjin and these people can't pass Yanjin City at all, perhaps, only use the sky lantern to pass the news to the Tang Army, after all, the Tang Army here, there will be a lot of telescopes to observe the surrounding environment, maybe, there are people who look at the sky, see it!

"Sky lantern, sky lantern, you can do it!"

"This one! It's so good, when I was in Chang'an before, every year on the Shangyuan Festival, the house had to make some! ”

Zhao Long's subordinates were originally the guards of the Sun Mansion, and they naturally understood some of the things that the house did, in fact, not only Wangjianglou did it, but also the Happy Village, the children had to make lamps to play, bamboo strips or something, in fact, they were all cut with the help of these adults, and they were of course no strangers to the things that must be done during the festival, and soon, they were under the leadership of Zhao Long, looking for production materials.

However, paper, pen and ink, fire oil and the like, they who are in charge of military operations will not carry much with the army, in order to get these things, Zhao Long has to rush out of the forest again to rob, time, there will definitely be a lot of delay, but there is a way after all.

When Li Shimin and Yuangai Suwen were fighting under the city of Yanjin, on the plateau, more than 200,000 Tubo cavalry led by Lu Dongzan and Wang Lin had also been slaughtered in Shuzhong, and it only took more than ten days for them to reach the city of Songzhou, and they only needed to divide tens of thousands of troops to besiege Songzhou City without fighting, so as to ensure the smooth bypass of the army, then, in a few more days, they could break through to Guanzhong and step on Chang'an.

Sun Xiangfu in Shanyang City didn't know the situation in Tubo, and now, his main concern was the negotiation between Wang Xu and the five families in Shangqi City, which was a big business of 20 million yuan, and with this money, he could meet the huge military consumption of the Tang army.

The Goguryeo coalition army outside Yanjin City was killed by the Tang army, and under the impact of Xue Li, Cheng Mingzhen, Zhang Jian, and Ma Wenju, the 150,000 miscellaneous troops were gradually killed, and most of them were damaged.

"Your Majesty, the effect of today's battle has been achieved, and the troops can be withdrawn." Li Jing, who watched the whole fight, said with a worried face.

"At this time, the morale of our army is at its peak, why are we withdrawing troops?"

On the battlefield, the victory has been revealed, at this time to collect troops, not to mention Li Shimin, even ordinary middle and low-level officers are not very willing, you know, this is a good time to harvest military merits!

Li Jing replied, "Your Majesty, the two armies are fighting, and their strength cannot be exhausted, if our army as a whole becomes a tired army, then the hundreds of thousands of troops hidden behind the city wall by Yuan Gai Suwen may eat our army in one bite." ”

Not to mention, Yuan Gai Suwen, it's really this thought, no matter how well-equipped your Tang army is, it is only 100,000 horses, he uses 150,000 troops to fight a war of attrition, if he can exhaust the Tang army through repeated impact confrontation, he has no need to burn Yanjin City, just let the 300,000 elite army hidden behind the city wall rush up, and the Tang army will be defeated.

However, Li Jing's tactical arrangement is very rigorous, each time, at most, more than 20,000 people will be on the field, and when it is almost time, a rotation will be carried out, so that after several shock battles, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is still maintained at more than eighty percent, but he is not afraid of Yuan Gai Suwen's army rushing out.

Hearing Li Jing's words, it also made Li Shimin's face straight, and he was almost carried away by the easy victory in front of him, forgetting that there were still more than 500,000 troops in Yuangai Suwen's hands that had not moved, but fortunately, Li Jing was on the side to remind him.

At this time, the whole war had been fought from morning to afternoon, and suddenly heard the sound of the Tang army's camp, Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes narrowed, and finally his face was very ugly, and he sent an order to his subordinates, "Order the first rear team to attack, and the second and third teams to take over the task of supervising the battle." ”

He gave this order out, but he pushed 100,000 Goguryeo men into the Ghost Gate Pass, blaming the Tang army's tactics for being too cautious, so that his plan to keep Yanjin City had to fail, and now, he can only use more lives to drag the Tang army into the battlefield, and finally, to implement the plan of burning the jade.

Soon, in the cave of the city gate, a large number of Goguryeo soldiers poured out, and after seeing their military appearance and equipment in the telescope, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help shrinking, this time, it was no longer the short Wa Kingdom, Silla, and Baekje soldiers. It was all a tall and strong regular Goguryeo army with leather armor and standard equipment, and Yuangai Suwen didn't want the Tang army to leave the battlefield and end the battle.

"Pharmacist, what should we do now?"

"Since Yuangai Suwen wants to fill with his life, then, we can't dodge, only fight hard, but, in his life, he has never seen an army with more than thirty percent of the battle losses and is not defeated, Yuangai Suwen's strength in Yanjin City is roughly about 700,000, as long as we resist this round, his battle losses will exceed 200,000, in this case, he just wants to organize an impact, and his generals will not agree."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, anyway, there is the suppression of ballistas and catapults, and the scope of the battlefield is also set in such a large position, the Tang army takes turns to engage in battle, and the loss will not be too large, and after rest and adjustment, the combat power will not be greatly reduced, but he is not afraid of falling into a fierce battle.

"Hold down the position, the heavy cavalry mounted, lined up, and prepared to charge."

Feeling the difference in the momentum of the Goguryeo coalition army, the Tang army also replaced the last group of people who had not been in battle, and fortunately, after Su Dingfang received the four coalition forces, they carried out training for nearly a year, so that their physical fitness has been greatly improved, and they can complete the battle formation impact task alone like the regular army of the Tang army, otherwise, after the first few rounds of impact, the Tang army, which has only rested for an hour or two, will have to go into battle again.

When the confrontation between the two armies in front of the North City Gate unfolded again, Zhao Long finally grabbed some materials for making sky lanterns, and everyone shot together and began to make them, because this is still a few kilometers away from the location of the battlefield, so these sky lanterns need to be made very large, and they are not so easy to complete for a while.

Zhang Gongjin studied the pen and ink, and wrote on those white pieces of paper a very large "There is fraud in the city, don't enter the city." If Tang Jun's lookout discovers something strange in the sky, then these messages can be transmitted to Li Shimin.

However, when their first sky lantern was completed, connected to the rope, and put it into the sky, they found a problem, if they wanted the lookout on the battlefield to cross the city tower and the cliffs on both sides of the city wall, and see this sky lantern, they had to put it very high, but if it was placed so high, and at a distance of several kilometers, it was difficult for the lookout to see its existence even if he used a telescope to look for it in the sky, let alone see the handwriting on the sky lantern clearly.

"Duke Zou, it seems that if we want Your Majesty to know the news in Yanjin City, we must put these sky lanterns in the sky above this formation." Zhao Long, who looked at the sky with his telescope for a while, said a little depressed.

Because, he has already discovered that the current wind direction is not right, it is a north wind, and the sky lantern that is put on it will float farther and farther away from Yanjin City, let alone pass through Yanjin City to reach the sky above the Tang Army's main formation.

Zhang Gongjin has realized that everything is ready at the moment, and he only owes the feeling of the south wind, and he has been in the northeast for a while, and he knows that after the time is approaching September, the north wind will usually blow here.

"What should I do, is this day lantern made in vain?"

What is full of hope is finally empty by Zhengming, this feeling is tantamount to being poured a bucket of cold water on the head in the cold winter season.

The people in the woods suddenly fell into a dead silence, however, at this time, the big sky lantern that was put up broke the silence here.

"Eh, there are two more people, pull it, the light is going to run." ()
