Chapter 726: Find a place to vent the fire

Zhang Guigui was sick, had no appetite, was in a trance, and hid in his room and did not want to see people.

Suzy's affair hit him hard, he grew so big, and he also had a lot of women. But Suzy brought him a different feeling, and during this time he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his feelings. Where did I think that this would be the result.

Li You didn't persuade him either. This kind of persuasion does not work, it takes time to heal the wounds in the heart.

On this day, Li You looked for Zhang Guigui, Zhang Baobao was lying on the marching bed with his butt outward, and he didn't care about people.

Li You smiled: "Do you want to go out and vent your anger?" ”

Zhang Guigui turned his head to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

Li You said: "If you are willing, let's take the Flying Tiger Army to the front line and attack Pingchuan City." ”

When Zhang Mougui heard this, he sat up with a grunt. He is now full of evil fire in his belly, and he can't wait to fight with whomever he wants, even if it is with himself. What he wants to do most now is to go to the front line to fight, so that he can be full, and he has no time to think about those sad things.

However, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army's operations were arranged in a unified manner, and no combat missions were assigned to the Flying Tiger Army. It seems that Li Yougo specially asked for a task for himself.

Zhang Guigui said: "Brother You, you still understand me, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he began to put on his shoes and tidy up his clothes.

Li You said: "You call all the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, let's discuss it together." ”

Zhang Guigui got dressed and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head and said with some embarrassment: "Brother You, I'm really sorry." Because of my brother's negligence, I almost killed you. ”

Li You walked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "If you want to talk about this, I really have to thank you well." I know how difficult it is for you to save me, and what price you have paid, you are really my good brother! ”

The grievances in Zhang Guigui's heart were completely released by Li You's words. He hugged Li You with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother You." And he began to cry.

After a long while, Li You patted him on the back and said, "Good brother, the past is over." Go call someone! ”

Zhang Guigui wiped his tears, opened the door and went out.

After a while, the generals of the Flying Tiger Army arrived.

The officers and men of the Flying Tigers had heard of Li You's heroic actions in Tuyuhun and deep behind enemy lines in Persia, but most of them, including some of these generals, had not seen it with their own eyes.

In the abduction incident that occurred not long ago, everyone saw that Li You was abducted by the enemy, fearless, and did not take personal life and death seriously at all. That calmness and bravery, which made everyone admire the five-body throwing to the ground.

Everyone saw Li You and saluted him respectfully.

Li You said: "Our Flying Tiger Army is the sharpest steel knife in the Tang Army, and it always has to be used at the most critical moment. History has proven that the Flying Tiger Army is worthy of the title of Flying Tiger.

Now, there is one thing that needs to be used by our Flying Tiger Army, how about it, do you have the confidence to complete the task? ”

Hearing Li You say this, everyone said together: "Please give an order from Your Highness, and the ministers will not give up." ”

Li You pointed to a small dot on the Goguryeo map on the marching table and said, "This is Pingchuan City." It is a military town. It is also the first gateway to Pyongyang.

The terrain here is precipitous, two mountains and a river, and Pingchuan City is built in this canyon, blocking the way for the Tang army to advance. The Tang army has been attacking this city for many days, and due to the restrictions of the terrain, the attack has been frustrated many times, and it has also caused a lot of casualties.

I specially asked my father for instructions, and the Flying Tiger Army would complete this task. ”

Pingchuan Castle.

In charge of attacking Pingchuan City was Niu Jinda, the general of the Tang Army.

Li You, Zhang Guigui and the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, accompanied by Niu Jinda, went to the area around Pingchuan City to observe the terrain.

The canyon where Li You and the others are located is not the same in different sections, and the location chosen by Pingchuan City is at the narrowest part of this canyon. It is less than 50 paces wide and flanked by steep and difficult to climb cliffs, which is impossible to attack from the side.

Pingchuan Castle is easy to obtain, and all of it is made of stone, which is extremely strong. Neither the catapult nor the fire attack could destroy it.

The walls were built so tall that siege engines could not reach them, and the top of the walls could barely reach with the use of extended ladders. However, the ladder is too long, not only is it difficult to carry, but its own weight is too large, and the strength is not enough. Two people can barely bear to go up at the same time, and if you go up to three people, the ladder may be broken directly.

This limits the speed of the projection of troops, and even if someone is barely able to go up, the speed of those who follow behind is too slow to stand, and they can only be sent to death.

Niu Jinda and others have exhausted all means, and there is nothing they can do about it.

For the arrival of Li You and others, Niu Jinda and others were very happy, and after observing the terrain, Niu Jinda said: "What can Your Highness do?" ”

Li You also had a headache, he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it for a while, let's go back and discuss it together." ”

Niu Jinda said: "The method of attacking Anshi City last time worked, why don't we take the same method to attack Pingchuan City again." ”

The Tang army's burning of Anshi City once brought great panic to the Goguryeo people, and many cities surrendered without a fight, but the Tang army never took such an action again.

The Goguryeo people later figured out the means by which the Tang army burned the city of Anshi, and believed that the Tang army was temporarily unable to carry out such a siege operation, so they began to insist on holding the city again.

This is indeed the case, the burning of Anshi City was completed by Li You and others who had been preparing for a long time and consuming a lot of materials, especially fierce fire oil. In that offensive, the fierce fire oil they brought was basically used up. Now all added up, there are only more than two hundred clay pots left with fierce fire oil.

When attacking a city, a small amount of fierce fire oil does not work at all, and only a fire attack such as burning Anshi Castle without leaving dead ends can it play a role in destroying the city. However, it required a large amount of supplies, and the Tang army was not capable of carrying out a second fire attack of this scale for the time being.

Hearing Niu Jinda's question, Li You shook his head again and said, "We don't have much fierce fire oil left. The production base of fierce fire oil is far away in Yan'an Prefecture, and it is very difficult to transport, and it is impossible to carry out a fire attack like the burning of Anshi City for the time being. ”

Niu Jinda saw that Li You and the others had no good way, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart. He had always heard that Li You had fought countless battles with his soldiers. It seems that there is some trickery, and he has no way to encounter such a strong city.

Zhang Guigui said: "Mountain climbing is the strength of the Flying Tiger Army, and I organized people to try to climb the mountains on both sides and suppress the Goguryeo people with bows and arrows on them. ”
