Chapter 612: Strategy

What a blessing it is to have a generous head!

"Then the Duke of Xiguo, after we complete the transportation of supplies, will we deal with the Goryeo naval army?"

After seeing the Molotov cocktail, Zhang Liang's first reaction was that they needed to deal with the Goryeo naval army, after all, compared to land warfare, Molotov cocktails could exert more power in water warfare.

Leng Feng shook his head, "This time is different, we have a more difficult task, what is the Goryeo Naval Army, our task is to take Cangyan City!" ”

After speaking, Leng Feng pointed his hand on the table between himself and Zhang Liang.

"Cangyan City? Why here? ”

Zhang Liang was taken aback, Cangyan City he knew that it was one of the strongest cities in Goryeo, and once Yuan Gai Suwen attacked Cangyan City, and it took a full 15,000 troops to completely take this place.

Cangyan City is a city between the territory of Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, and its characteristics of being easy to defend and difficult to attack make it a battleground for soldiers. Yuangai Suwen's 15,000 troops were not lost in vain, and after taking Cangyan City, even if the Tang Dynasty sent troops to harass him, he did not retreat to Cangyan City with Gao Jianwu's troops.

Cangyan City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is like a shield between Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, and if he can't take Cangyan City, Gao Jianwu can only be beaten passively, and he can't counterattack Yuangai Suwen at all.

Although Zhang Liang has never seen a city that can influence the battle situation of the two corps, he can guess how majestic and strong it is.

Take such a city? Are you kidding?

Besides, what about taking Cangyan City, the East China Sea Army and the Dragon Tooth Army combined are only more than 6,000 people, how long can they hold out under the pressure of Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu?

"Gong Xi Guo, this is an act of looking for death! Who came up with this strategy? It's just nonsense! No, it's not a nonsense level, this is a complete attempt to trap the two of us! ”

Leng Feng smiled bitterly, "When I first heard about this strategy, I also thought it was crazy, but the person who formulated this strategy persuaded me!" ”

The person who formulated this strategy was Li Jing.

Li Jing liked to use surprise soldiers the most, and when the entire military and the emperor were studying Goryeo together, Li Jing proposed this strategy.

Cangyan City is not only a shield between Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, but also an obstacle from Datang to Gao Jianwu. Moreover, no one thought that Yuangai Suwen would be able to withstand the attack of the Tang army.

Cangyan City stands between Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, the northwest is the territory of Yuangai Suwen, and the southeast is Gao Jianwu's territory.

However, in the southwest of it, all the way to the coastline, there were not many troops, and as long as they defeated the naval army of Goryeo, they could drive straight into Cangam City.

Cangyan City is indeed difficult to capture, but as long as it is taken, then Yuangai Suwen in the west will lose its retreat in the east, and will even be attacked from both sides.

And even if Gao Jianwu can let go of the hatred of the war for so many years and resist the Tang Dynasty on a united front, his troops will not be able to pass through Cangyan City.

Cangyan City is located on a traffic artery, and if you want to get around Cangyan City, you have to walk for two more days. Two days may not seem like a long time, but it is enough to change the course of a war.

The difficult thing now is how to take Cangyan City, and how to defend Cangyan City after taking it.

Due to the experience of Goryeo, Li Shimin did not intend to disperse his forces, and intended to crush Yuangai Suwen with pure quantity and quality. Because of this, the heavy task of taking Cangyan City was arranged for the Dragon Tooth Army.

1,200 people, in a war at the national level, it is very difficult to make a big wave. The defenders of Cangyan City are about only about 10,000 people, to be honest, under Li Shimin's promise of 30 gunpowder weapons, Leng Feng does not feel that there is any difficulty in capturing Cangyan City, but the difficulty is how to defend it after taking it.

1,200 people defending a city is a dream, so Leng Feng asked the East China Sea Army to come over, and by the way, Li Shimin's "thirty" became "sixty".

Six times more fully armed, it will not be too much of a burden in the case of ship transportation. Six times as many gunpowder weapons, even if Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu attacked, Leng Feng would dare to sleep well in the city.

Fortified City + Gunpowder Weapons are invincible!

"Believe me, we can definitely do this trip. Take 10,000 steps back, even if we can't defeat Cangyan City, can't we still retreat, as long as we retreat to the sea, can the Goryeo army still swim over and fight us? ”

Listening to Leng Feng's persuasion, Zhang Liang also had confidence in his heart. No matter how dangerous this mission is, being in prison and resisting the pressure on both sides, as long as you can finally persevere, the credit is absolutely huge, and you can definitely rank in the top three of the credit list.

This kind of credit is enough for him to let him transfer to become a powerful national prince!

That's right, although Zhang Liang is a "Xunguo Gong", but because he is a coward, he has escaped several times before the battle, and now he is still a virtual prince who guards a few boats, thousands of people, and waits for death.

If it weren't for his gritted teeth and resisting countless tortures to keep Li Shimin's secret, he would have been made a marquis or even an earl in the "imperial court weight loss" in the early years of Zhenguan.

This time in the Goryeo War, he smelled the smell of flying yellow and prosperous, and it just so happened that he was selected by the Duke of Yi Guo to participate in the Goryeo War as a subordinate.

Zhang Liang feels that he may only have this chance to turn over!

"Fight! Gong Xi Guo, thanks to you for looking up to me and choosing me as a subordinate, I will do it with you this time! ”

Leng Feng smiled slightly, and said, "It's good that you have confidence, gather your fleet and rent civilian ships to transport supplies to Chang'an first." ”

Zhang Liang was puzzled, "Gong Xiguo, didn't you say that you want to attack Goryeo after the beginning of spring next year?" Why are we preparing supplies now? ”

Leng Feng was helpless, could he say that he really looked down on the broken ships of the East China Sea fleet? Just looking at the boat that Zhang Liang took back to Beijing, he knew that the ship of the East China Sea Army was definitely a river boat that entered the sea after a slight modification.

Such a ship is not even comparable to the ships of some maritime merchants, so why should it bear the name of "warship"?

To tell the truth, such a ship, Leng Feng was afraid that if it was not shot by the Koreans when it retreated, it would leak and sink on its own.

It just so happened that the shipyard in Feng'an, Lingnan, built the second batch of sea ships, and Leng Feng directly asked Li Shimin to buy them with some money, and also established a new shipyard in Dengzhou.

After the gunpowder, weapons and weapons are transported to Dengzhou, it is only right to start renovating those sea ships first.

"Don't ask if you don't need to, get your men into action. Oh, by the way, because you also have to participate in the defense of the city, your subordinates came to Chang'an in batches, and I asked the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army to teach them how to use gunpowder weapons. ”
