In this big battle outside Anshi, the Tang army won a big victory, but it was very simple to say, in fact, Li Shimin took a big risk.

When Li Shimin led 4,000 elites to attack the Goguryeo army from the mountains down, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers, and it can be said that his fate hung by a thread.

You must know that although the Tang army is very capable of fighting, it is difficult to win in the face of a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Gao Yanshou is not stupid to the point of being hopeless, he will not understand, and if he catches Li Shimin, he doesn't have to fight this battle, he will win, he can't catch it alive, and killing Li Shimin can also mess up the Tang army's position, so that the Tang army will not occupy and retreat.

So when the Goguryeo army besieged Li Shimin at that time, it could really be said that it was full of dangers, Li Shimin's face was frightened white, his heart was nervous, and he regretted it very much, he shouldn't be so careless and put himself in danger.

If he was given a chance to choose again, he would never have made such a risky plan, and he would not even have driven to this Liaodong in person.

At this most dangerous time, Xue Rengui, dressed in a white robe and holding a silver spear, led a team of Kangding troops composed of Dang Xiang and Bailan tribe warriors to rush in from the side of the Goguryeo army, and forcibly tore a hole in it, and joined Li Shimin's team.

At that time, Xue Rengui took the lead in rushing into the Goguryeo army, killing the local soldiers of Goguryeo one by one, invincible, rushing and killing in the military formation without pause, the courage was extraordinary, and the team led by him, shouting and killing shook the sky, and one by one they were not afraid of death, and soon the Goryeo army was defeated and fled.

Li Shimin admired Xue Rengui's performance very much, and after the battle, he rewarded Xue Rengui with a lot of good things, and asked him what his official position in the army was now.

After Xue Rengui told the truth, Li Shimin immediately promoted him to three levels in a row and named him a guerrilla general.

Xue Rengui is very grateful to Li Zhonghua, thinking that Li Zhonghua gave him this opportunity, in fact, Li Zhonghua himself knows very well that on the surface, although this opportunity was given by him, it was actually destined by Xue Rengui, he just tried his best to restore history.

The lord of Anshi Castle was named Liang Wanchun, a staunch royalist faction, who was very dissatisfied with the killing of King Rongliu by Yuangai Suwen and the establishment of another King of Goguryeo, and the control of the government of Goguryeo, and the king of Gozang as a puppet.

Therefore, he was very resistant to any order issued by Yuangai Suwen, and he would not listen to him at all.

At the beginning, Yuangai Suwen also thought about taking down Liang Wanchun and replacing him with his own person to be the city lord of this Anshi City.

However, he sent troops to attack Anshi City, Liang Wanchun put up a resolute resistance, because the terrain of Anshi City is too dangerous, there are very steep cliffs on both sides, only the front can attack, and you can't get around it at all.

After that, Yuangai Suwen didn't bother to touch him anymore, and Anshi City was like an independent kingdom because of this.

This time, I learned that the Tang army was about to besiege Anshi City, although Yuangai Suwen and Liang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, had some contradictions, but at this time, they were unanimous with the outside world, and the geographical location of Anshi City was very important, and if it fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, it would be very unfavorable to Goguryeo, so Yuangai Suwen was reasonable and had to send troops to support Anshi City.

It's just that he didn't expect that Gao Yanshou's 150,000 army not only failed to drive the Tang army's army out of Liaodong, but was defeated so quickly.

After defeating Gao Yanshou's 150,000 reinforcements, Goguryeo's Yuangai Suwen no longer dared to send troops to save Anseong, and he was worried that the Tang army would suddenly appear under Pyongyang.

The Tang army began to besiege Anshi City, and Liaodong City is different, the city wall of Anshi City is very tall, and the stone throwing truck cannot play a role at all, and the effect of bombs is also very limited, and it can only blow up the city gate.

But a large trench had already been dug outside the city gate, so deep and wide that it was impossible to dig a tunnel.

Such a strong city, if you want to capture it, it can be said that it is extremely difficult, no wonder the city lord Liang Wanchun can be so arrogant to Yuan Gai Suwen.

The Tang army besieged for a few days, and in addition to the loss of troops, the city of Anshi was still impregnable, and there were no losses at all.

Li Tao was very anxious and suggested to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty! The terrain of Anshi City is dangerous, and in a short period of time, it will be very difficult to capture Anshi City, so it is better to bypass Anshi City and kill directly to Pyongyang City, as long as Pyongyang City is captured, Goguryeo will be finished. ”

"This is not appropriate, once we attack Pyongyang, Goguryeo will definitely go to support Pyongyang, our troops are insufficient, it is easy to fall into the siege of Goguryeo, and the back road will be blocked by Goguryeo's army, which is very unfavorable to us."

When Li Shimin was young, when he was the king of Qin, although he was very talented in military affairs, he has now been an emperor for nearly 20 years, and he is nearly 50 years old, and he has long passed the age of impulsiveness and adventure.

Today's Li Shimin is bent on stability and doesn't want to take too many risks.

In a big battle not long ago, it was already very risky, and he almost suffered a big loss, but when he thinks about it, Li Shimin can still feel palpitations, and he will be willing to follow Li Qin's advice and take the risk to attack Pyongyang.

On the other hand, when Li Shimin led the army outside the city of An, and the 150,000 army led by Gao Yanshou, Zhang Liang, the general manager of the march of the Pyongyang Road of the Tang Dynasty, led the naval army to continue to advance to the northwest after capturing the city of Beisha.

Zhang Liang is a mediocre talent, usually timid and cowardly, without any ability, when he saw the enemy killed, he sat on the bed of Hu, looked straight at him, and was frightened like a wooden chicken.

However, when the soldiers saw that his expression remained unchanged, they thought that he was calm and brave, and that the army's heart was a little settled, and the commander-in-chief Zhang Jinshu and others beat the drum to reorganize the army and attack the enemy.

The Goryeo defenders could not resist it, so they had to flee in defeat and flee into the city, and the infant city defended itself and did not dare to fight.

Li Shimin moved the military camp to the east of Anshi City and discussed the siege strategy with Li Ji and others.

Li Shimin knew that Anshi City was a difficult bone to gnaw, and Liang Wanchun had made up his mind to defend the city and never fight head-on with the Tang army, because it would be very difficult for the Tang army to capture Anshi City.

So Li Shimin proposed, abandon Anshi City, and turn west to attack Jian'an, at this time Zhang Liang led the naval army is also besieging Jian'an City, under the attack of the two armies, Jian'an must be won, so that Anshi City is also in our belly.

But Li Ji said: "If we attack Jian'an in the west, it is too far away from our food base Liaodong City, and if Goryeo cuts off our way back, the situation will inevitably be in crisis, and the minister thinks that it is better to capture Anshi City first."

After all, Li Tao is the head of the Liaodong Road march that Li Shimin himself sealed, and finally. In line with the principle of employing people without doubt, Li Shimin still agreed to Li Ji's plan.

Li Shimin moved the military camp to the south of Anshi, cut off the connection between Anshi and Jian'an, and then ordered Li Ji to find a way to attack the city.

Li Ji sent Gao Yanshou and other Goguryeo generals to surrender to the city with his troops under the city of Anshi and recruit the soldiers in the city. But the city held on, and every time he saw Taizong's banner, the whole city would clamored and resist with bows and arrows. Causing Li Shimin to be furious, Li Ji took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty! All these people deserve to die, and on the day the city is broken, let the soldiers kill all the men in the city. ”
