Chapter 600: 10,000 troops parachute together
Goryeo, instead of heeding the advice of the Tang Dynasty, continued to attack Silla.
The majesty of Yi Shimin Tian Khan was violated, and he was very angry and decided to attack Goryeo.
First, he ordered Hong, Rao, and Jiang prefectures to build 400 ships to transport military rations.
Of course, in fact, the shipyards in these three states are all partners of the China Commercial Bank.
After five or six years of development, now their craft is becoming more and more mature.
Then, Li Shimin sent the two major governors of Youyou and Ying, as well as the troops of Khitan and Xi, to attack the east of Liaodong for a trial.
Let Wei Ting be the feed envoy and save the Hebei Prefectures.
Ordered Xiao Rui to transport grain from Henan Zhuzhou into the sea.
And Datang's actions made Gao Li nervous and scared.
Goryeo is a very peculiar and strange country.
Many times, they will be blindly arrogant.
thinks that the sky is the boss, they are the second, and they cannot be the same.
But when it comes to real things, they can be very timid.
When Li Shimin warned them earlier, they completely dismissed them.
In their cognition, Datang didn't dare to attack them at all.
But when Datang was really prepared and began to attack them, they began to be afraid again.
In September, Goryeo Moli left Zhiquan Gai Suwen as an envoy and contributed gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty, trying to use gold and silver to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin categorically refused.
Now Li Shimin has made all kinds of arrangements, and he is ready to fly.
How could they give up attacking them because they had only some gold and silver in Goryeo?
……
At this time, the city had been built.
Duan Gongming and Li Su, the two sides discussed properly, and decided to directly attack the Zhao and Mengshe Zhao in the next step.
Of these two countries, Mengshezhao is in the southernmost part of Nanzhao.
The edict was north of the Mengshe edict and bordered the territory of the Mengshezhao edict.
These two countries are very close to each other.
And the edict is almost the barrier of the edict.
As long as you can win the edict, there is no danger to defend the edict, and you can drive straight in.
It can be imagined that the edict of Mengshe will definitely be retained.
Winning the edict is basically equivalent to winning the edict of Mengshe.
As for Shi Langzhao, in the westernmost part, near Tubo, Li Su was ready to put them last.
And between the edict and the edict, there is a big river.
This river is turbulent, and only a dozen miles of beach can be navigated.
Therefore, the edict only needed to strictly defend the river beach of the dozen miles and prevent the coalition troops from crossing the river.
The coalition forces have nothing to do with them.
This river can be said to have become a moat for the edict.
The Emperor has now joined forces with the Mengshe Edict, after all, the strength of the coalition is too strong.
They also deeply understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
According to the intelligence analysis obtained by Li Su and Duan Gongming in advance, which two countries can annex at least 30,000 horses on the other side of the river.
And they are on the offensive side, and on the opposite side are the defending side.
The opposite side does not even need to engage in a water battle with them with ships.
After all, in the Nanzhao area, there is basically no such thing as a water army.
If you can't even deliver the goods, where will there be any water fights?
So, they don't have many warships.
On the coalition side, the warships will be provided by the Datang side.
But if they want to cross the river, it is still difficult.
The soldiers of the two countries on the opposite side have already set up a heavy defensive line on the river bank.
All you need to do is ambush them when they disembark.
The opponent occupies the advantage of the terrain, and if it really wants to fight, it must be that the attacker will suffer more casualties.
If they really attacked, their 40,000 army might not be able to beat the 30,000 army on the other side.
When Li Su decided to attack them, Duan Gongming was very worried and didn't know how to break through their defenses.
And Li Su told Duan Gongming with a smile that his army of 30,000 only needed to involve the opponent's army in the front.
Li Su can lead an army of 10,000 to directly enter the rear of the other party and seize the city of the edict.
As long as their cities are taken, the combined forces of the two countries will inevitably become a source of water.
They must always be on guard against the Tang army coming out of the city, and they must also be on guard against their food and grass being cut off.
In fact, if they occupy their cities, their food and grass will inevitably be cut off.
They will definitely choose to withdraw.
Hearing the assurance of the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Gongming was actually skeptical.
Because Duan Gongming really couldn't imagine how the Tang army should cross this river and directly occupy their city.
You must know that he Duan Gongming has lived here for generations, and he can't think of any way to cross the river.
However, Duan Gongming also knew that the ability of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was unimaginable to him.
He couldn't think of a way, but it didn't mean that the Tang Shu King couldn't think of it.
Since the King of Tang Shu dares to agree to do this, there must be a way to do it.
Next, Duan Gongming led an army of 30,000 and boarded the boat one after another, preparing to cross the river.
On the opposite side, the combined forces of the Emperor and the Mengshe Zhao were highly tense.
They originally thought that Duan Gongming might be the first to deal with Shi Langzhao, instead of dealing with them.
After taking Shi Langzhao, he will attack them in the end.
After all, Shi Langzhao is just a country.
Duan Gongming and Datang joined forces to win Shi Lang's edict, which was not a very difficult thing.
And once Duan Gongming won Shi Langzhao, he occupied two-thirds of Nanzhao's territory.
His strength will be even stronger, as long as these places are completely digested.
The two countries of them really will not be Duan Gongming's opponents, and they will be destroyed by him sooner or later.
But what they never expected was that Duan Gongming would be the first to deal with them.
Is he so sure he can eat them?
Everyone is 30,000 soldiers and horses, who gave you confidence?
They didn't dare to believe this, but it was the case, and they had to assemble all 30,000 troops and defend them on the other side of the river.
Just wait for Duan Gongming's army to cross the river, and give them a fatal blow.
On the other side of the river, Duan Gongming led an army of 30,000, all of which boarded the boats provided by the Tang Dynasty.
Beginning to slowly approach the other side of the river, the two allied forces on the opposite side were very nervous and ready for war.
But Duan Gongming did not dock, but when he was about to reach the shore, he began to sail upstream.
As a result, the allied forces of the two countries on the other side of the river began to follow Duan Gongming's movement.
Duan Gongming came to the upstream, and began to move downstream.
It looks like he's looking for the best stretch of the river, looking for the best opportunity.
However, can the coalition forces of the two countries on the other side of the river allow Duan Gongming to succeed so easily?
Of course not!
They were also moving with Duan Gongming's movements.
Then, that move is a whole day's work.
Directly tossed the opposing coalition forces enough.
The day didn't stop, and my legs were swollen.
The most important thing is not physical fatigue, but mental exhaustion.
I have been tightening a string all day, and I have never dared to relax, and I am really tired.
And Duan Gongming is even more excessive, this goods still don't rest at night.
What the hell!
Duan Gongming doesn't rest, and they don't dare to rest!
And the situation on Duan Gongming's side is far better than that of the other party.
Because at the beginning, Duan Gongming told his subordinates that they didn't cross the river, but they were just going to consume the physical strength of the other side.
Therefore, his soldiers, the mood of the whole day is relaxed and happy.
Moreover, they row, but they need to force to go upstream, and downstream, just downstream.
The soldiers, on the other hand, can take turns rowing, so they can't consume much physical strength at all.
They can also eat in shifts.
The coalition forces on the other side of the river can't even eat!
Shifts are fast, and there is only one meal in the whole day.
And then at night, it doesn't stop, it's amazing!
Is this a way to crush us?
Hum!
I'm afraid you're thinking too much!
At this time, Li Su was leading 10,000 Tang troops to quietly lurk towards the city of the Imperial Edict.
Li Su had already observed the terrain, and from where they were, only twenty miles to the west, there was a high mountain.
The height of the mountain is about eight or nine hundred meters, and under the mountain, it is the territory of the edict.
At a height of eight or nine hundred meters, the situation on the cliff is complicated, and there is also a mountain wind.
And there is a river under the cliff, and there is no way to pass through it with ropes.
But Li Su just crossed the river here.
They crossed the river by parachute, of course.
The most suitable opening height for a parachute is 500 to 800 meters.
This height is appropriate.
The terrain below is extremely flat.
It's a great place for beginners to skydive.
As long as there is nothing wrong with the parachute, nothing will happen.
And parachutes, in fact, military factories, have long begun to be developed.
And it was developed a year ago, and 30,000 sets were made.
Li Su: This is just in case.
Unexpectedly, such a quick effort came in handy.
After coming to the cliff, Li Su distributed parachutes on the spot, watched the soldiers put on their parachute bags, and personally explained to them the precautions for parachuting.
However, although there was a parachute, and the king of Shu personally explained the precautions to them.
But of these 10,000 soldiers, almost all of them are afraid, and I am afraid that no one dares to jump down.
This is eight or nine hundred meters high, and it looks dizzy!
Just jump down like this, you can't use it if you have an umbrella!
Seeing the fear in the eyes of the soldiers, Li Su smiled slightly, and suddenly said loudly: "You don't dare to jump, do you?" Well, the king will be the first to come and give them an example! ”
Li Su's words scared almost everyone.
The King of Shu actually wants to be the first to jump down?
Xue Rengui and Li Yuanfang hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Su: "Your Highness, don't do it!" The son of a daughter can't sit down, and he can't go to the wall! You can't jump! ”
Li Su couldn't help but say angrily: "Get out, this is a military order!" Li Yuanfang, your second jump! Xue Rengui, you look at all the soldiers, you are the last to jump! ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Although there are a thousand and ten thousand in his heart, he refuses to let Li Yu jump.
But there was no way, the military order was like a mountain, and when the King of Shu said that this was a military order, they didn't dare to stop it in the slightest.
Li Su asked all the soldiers to stand on the edge of the cliff and carefully observe Li Su's movements.
And, before the jump, Li Su also held a loudspeaker and explained to them in detail the matters that need to be paid attention to in skydiving.
In the end, Li Su was ready to parachute, rushed off the cliff, and jumped quickly!
Of the 10,000 soldiers at the scene, almost all of them gasped and exclaimed.
They saw that the prince who rushed out of the cliff fell quickly, but soon, the parachute on his body opened, and the speed of the whole person began to slow down gradually.
By the end, the slow ones were almost floating.
After a short time, the king of Shu successfully landed on the ground, and then put away the parachute.
Li Su cleaned up safely below, and then quickly hid to the side.
The prince was the first to parachute and landed successfully, which gave the 10,000 soldiers great confidence.
The prince dared to be the first to jump, and he also landed successfully, can't we?
The prince can do it, we must do better than the prince!
Of course, what they don't know is that their prince is not afraid of death.
It's the parachute used by their prince, which is a little different from the one they use.
The ones they use are all produced by the Jiannan Provincial Military Factory.
And their prince used it to be produced by the system.
The quality of these two is completely different.
If Li Su was asked to jump with a parachute produced by a military factory, he really wouldn't dare to jump.
After all, he was afraid of death......
And with the system produced in this kind of terrain jump, there will be absolutely no safety accidents.
Of course, none of these 10,000 soldiers know.
And the successful landing of their prince gave them a lot of courage.
The second to skydive was Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuanfang also landed successfully, but after falling to the ground, his legs began to weaken, and he could walk the aisle for a long time.
Then there were Li Su's personal guards, who jumped down one by one.
In the end, it's the soldiers.
As more and more people jumped, no one had an accident.
The rest of the soldiers became more and more at ease.
There are even some daring soldiers who can't wait to jump.
When you are in mid-air, the scenery you see from high in the sky is different.
It's even more beautiful than usual, not to mention that feeling.
Many soldiers even fell in love with the activity of skydiving.
It took more than half a day and 10,000 soldiers to successfully jump off.
Next, they put away all the parachutes and put them down for the time being.
In the evening, they will go to the camp, and of course it is impossible to go with them.
Each of them had dry food with them, and after eating in the evening, they began to lurk in the city of the Imperial Edict.
In the middle of the night, they appeared outside the city of the Imperial Palace.
Their army of 30,000 was all confronting Duan Gongming at this time.
There were only 1,000 soldiers left behind in the city.
Because of the trenches, they didn't have to worry about the coalition forces coming from behind.
Therefore, the 1,000 people left in the front city are still soldiers transporting grain and grass.
They're basically leaving no one to defend.
On the city wall, there were not even defending soldiers, and they easily climbed up from the not very tall city wall, easily killed the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and opened the city gate.
And until they entered the city, the thousand defenders in the city did not know about it.
The entire city is basically completely undefended.
Li Su first did not have a city gate and sent 1,500 soldiers to defend it.
Then he led the remaining 4,000 soldiers and easily slaughtered all the 1,000 defensive soldiers.
Next, they quickly took over the royal palace.
In the palace, there were only a few hundred guards, and they were all killed.
And there are thousands of palace maids and princesses in the palace.
These people were all imprisoned by Li Su.
For the rest of the day, Li ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest.
The soldiers had not had a good rest for a day and a night.
But now that he is in danger, he can only grieve them.
At this time, the people in the city didn't even know what was going on.
After all, the location of the royal palace is relatively far away from them.
And last night's war was a one-sided massacre at all, and it didn't make much noise.
It wasn't until they got up and went down the street that they were surprised to find out.
In one night, the city has changed people.
It's just that although the people are afraid, there is not much hostility and hatred.
Because they are not living well under the current king.
But they heard that the life of the people is quite good now.
If they are attacked by the Edict, they will also become citizens of the Edict.
As long as King Duan Gongming treats them and his former people the same, their lives can be even better than now.
They don't care much about who rules them, they just worry about whether they can live a good life.
And now what is more embarrassing is actually the civil officials who are still edicted.
Their king, brave and good at war, led his troops outside.
They helped the king keep his house at home.
Then the house was stolen, and they didn't even know it.
They were very afraid that the Tang army would kill them.
As a result, they found out that they were overthinking.
Tang Jun didn't bother to deal with them at all.
Ignore them outright.
The four gates in the city are all defended by the Tang army.
The people in the city, even if they wanted to pass the news out, couldn't get out at all.
Until this time, the combined forces of the Emperor and the Mengshe Zhao still knew nothing about the loss of their capital.
And as time passed, their grain and grass were not sent back, and they finally felt that something was wrong.
Their grain and grass were brought from the capital.
Because of the close distance, they are all delivered every morning for a day's grain and grass.
But today, I didn't send it.
What the hell is going on?
Until now, they had never imagined that the coalition forces had captured their capital.
Then they sent a thousand soldiers to supervise and help the grain carriers to bring the grain over.
The 1,000 soldiers walked all the way to the gate, only to find that the city gate had not yet opened.
Lao Tzu is tired and desperate outside, and these bitches are so loose.
These thousand soldiers were really angry.
They went outside the gates and banged on them vigorously.
"Open the door! Shutter! Open the door! What do you eat? The army's food and grass haven't been delivered yet, and you are going to lose your heads, you know? Why don't you open the door yet? ”
Squeak!
In a short time, the gates were opened from within.
The thousand soldiers, scolding and swearing, walked towards the city.
However, they soon realized that something was wrong.
Isn't that right?
These guys, when did they change their uniforms?
The next moment, they finally reacted.
I'm going to you!
No wonder the grain and grass have not been sent over yet, and no wonder the city gate has not been opened until now.
It turns out that their city has been occupied by the Tang Army!
Where is this city gate, this is simply a ghost gate!
"Run!"
These thousand soldiers turned around and ran.
I can't wait for my parents to give them thirty-six legs, just like a thousand legs.
Sou!
Sou! Sou!
They were greeted by the terrible sound of bows and crossbows.
These 1,000 people faced the strafing of more than 1,000 bows and crossbows.
At such a close distance, the odds of surviving are too low and too low.
In the end, only a few dozen people who had been at the back of the line escaped.
The others were killed by crossbows.
And in the face of the dozens of people who fled, the Tang army did not chase after them.
Instead, clean up the scene, reclose the city gates, and start defending.
Soon, these dozens of people tried their best, panting and sweating.
It felt like my lungs were about to burst, and both legs didn't seem to be my own.
They finally escaped from danger and ran back to the garrison of the army.
Seeing that these people were in a mess, there were still blood stains on their bodies
The king couldn't help but gasp, and a premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
"What the hell is going on in the city?"
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! The capital has been occupied by the Tang army? ”
"What?"
"You're lying! How could the capital be occupied by the Tang army? Where did the Don Army come from? How could there be a Tang Army? ”
The king of the edicts, the Vedas, did not believe that this was true at all.
But now, the food was not delivered, and of the thousand soldiers he sent, dozens of those who were killed fled back. But they didn't believe it.
Could this damn Tang Army fly from the sky?
Why did he occupy his capital in just one night?
Damn it! How so?
Now, what should they do?
Now, they are facing the consequences of being deprived of food and grass, and they are suffering from the enemy.
They have to leave!
It's too dangerous to stay here.
The Vedas and the commanders of the Monsheedict consulted, and both decided to retire.
The Vedas led an army of 20,000 to retreat first.
After the 10,000-strong army was broken.
Because the Vedas were in a great hurry now, he was anxious to know the situation in the capital.
Let's see if we can break through the city in a short time.
If they can't, they can only retreat quickly.
The 30,000 troops on the other side of the river want to cross the river in full, and it is estimated that it will take an hour and a half.
It would be best if they could capture the capital within an hour, otherwise they would have to retreat.
At this time, Meng She's edict of 10,000 soldiers was broken.
The Vedas led the army and hurried in the direction of the north gate of their capital.
On the river, Duan Gongming, who had already come to the river early and continued to confront, saw that the edict had actually withdrawn, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.
Could it be that the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty has already occupied the capital of the Imperial Edict?
If not, how could he have withdrawn so quickly?
But is it that easy?
