"Is there a way to deal with Datang?" These ministers of the family looked at each other and exchanged words in a low voice, and an old man asked.

"This official has thought about it carefully, if you want to break the Tang Dynasty, you can only take the initiative to attack, if you only want to defend the city, you will all be wiped out by that kind of weapon like thunder." Yuangai Suwen explained.

"Proactive"

"Are you sure? How to deal with it! The crowd asked.

"This official has decided to raise the whole country's troops to ambush Datang, all of you in the family, the samurai, all contribute, the winner continues to enjoy the glory and wealth, and everyone will flee to the mountains and forests if they fail, anyway, Datang will not let everyone go, it is better than waiting for death at home." When he didn't ask, Yuan Gai Suwen sneered and said.

Now everyone was silent, after all, they had to contribute all their belongings, and they were all thinking silently in their hearts, and Yuangai Suwen was not in a hurry, the old god was waiting, he didn't believe in this group of greedy people, he was willing to wait for death, or surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, they began to deliberate in twos and threes.

"Big pair Lu, we agree with your arrangement, how to do it is up to you, everyone and Li Tang have fought hard." A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"This is very good, I have already selected a place that must be passed, and now I will arrange for the elite to go to ambush, and when the Datang Advance passes, I will immediately kill and destroy the Chinese army.

This official has calculated, now the war, plus the transfer of the Quartet, at least 1.2 million people, after issuing an order, over 14 years old, under 60 all dispatched, so that at least 2 million troops, 200,000 to deal with the backup, 100,000 troops to deal with the front army, with 1.7 million people to surround on all sides, fight hard, and use human lives to defeat the Tang Dynasty. Yuangai Suwen slapped his palm viciously, took out the map, and pointed at the map.

"We have 100,000 cavalry, even if the Tang Dynasty is well-equipped and uses cavalry to attack, I don't believe that they are all iron." Yuangai Suwen continued.

"Good! I will take out all the food stored at home, and I will definitely support you. ”

"Yes, we will also organize women and children, as logistics, we must defeat Datang."

"All weapons, equipment, take them out, don't hide them."

At this time, everyone in the hall spoke one after another, generously contributed, made a strong contribution, and had money to contribute.

Seeing this, Yuangai Suwen finally smiled, inserted the knife into the sheath, stepped forward to talk, and began to divide the power vacuum left by Gao Jianwu's death with everyone.

No one is a fool, and they all know that even if they support the king in the future, they are just a puppet, and of course they need to work hard and take on heavy responsibilities.

…………

Eight years of Zhenguan, June!

Li Jing asked people to take the people, disguised as soldiers, all the way to receive the city, guard the checkpoints, and the cavalry followed hundreds of miles away.

Li Ji, Wei Chigong, and Cheng Zhijie led an army of 100,000 and played the banner of Li Zi to be the Chinese army.

Qin Qiong took the brothers who came to Henglaiji and led 20,000 fanatical believers to be the forwards.

Liu Hongji, An Xiuren, and Xi Junmai took 5,000 fanatical believers, and 10,000 Japanese slave death squads loaded with escort grain and grass as the rear army.

Duan Zhixuan took artillerymen, musketeers, and 20,000 transporters disguised as civilians to follow the rear army.

The three people swaggered all the way to Pingxiang.

All this fell into the eyes of the Goguryeo spies, but what they didn't know was that in the distance, someone with a telescope could see them clearly.

Moreover, if the Goguryeo spies exceeded the rear army for thirty miles, they would have disappeared, and none of them had returned.

The weather was hot in June, and the Datang army all went out early and returned late, and stopped to rest when it was hot during the day, and they were not in a hurry at all.

This is also Li Jing's deliberate effort to delay time, consume Goguryeo's grain and grass, and be patient.

If Goguryeo wants to besiege with a large army, it must recruit more people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass by so many people is not a decimal number, but an astronomical amount for Goguryeo.

Moreover, the quality of newly recruited soldiers is uneven, and their patience is not good, which will always cause conflicts and affect morale.

The speed was slow, but he still entered the reserved place, a basin, a basin with a radius of forty miles, surrounded by mountains and forests, when Li Ji led his soldiers into the edge of the basin not far away, he immediately ordered to set up camp.

In a mountain forest, Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Li Ji's army depressedly, knowing that if he followed the speed of the Tang Dynasty's march in the past, he would be in the middle of the encirclement.

And now the sun is not big, it is still early at noon, and I actually set up camp, I really don't understand why it is so leisurely. But now that the arrow was on the line, it had to be fired, so it had to give the order to light the wolf smoke and launch an attack.

Hundreds of thousands of troops formed a semicircle and surrounded Li Ji, intending to drive him to the middle of the encirclement, and at about the same time, the 100,000 troops who saw the wolf smoke surrounded the forward.

The rear army also faced the same problem, and the 200,000-strong army appeared in front of it, blocking the way.

"Array!" Li Ji clearly saw the enemy in the distance from the binoculars, sneered, and immediately ordered.

The entire Chinese army of 100,000 people immediately moved and quickly set up a formation.

At this time, if Yuan Gai Su Wen is near, or he is expected to have a telescope, he will understand that Datang has been prepared.

I saw that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were arranged in a garden array, and the outermost part was a circle of rejecting horses, and the carriages that pulled materials were emptied, connected, and a circle of defense.

The huge steel shield was removed from the carriage, and the shield wall was formed, and many steel spears protruded from the middle of the shield, forming a forest of guns.

Inside the three circles of defense, there are sword and shield soldiers, with crossbowmen, 100,000 people, lining up the garden array, and there are several phalanxes in the middle, staring at the dust and smoke in the distance.

After a pillar of incense, Yuangai Suwen had already arrived in front of the formation, Le Ma looked at the Datang army and was stunned, how could he not imagine that when he saw the Datang camp, by now, half an hour of effort, he had been waiting for himself in formation, as if he had been prepared.

Yuangai Suwen's heart sank, he was afraid that he would fall into the calculation again, so he thought so, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, so he had to order an attack.

The Goguryeo soldiers, holding shields of various strange shapes, began to charge.

Although the Tang Dynasty marched slowly, it brought a lot of trouble to Goguryeo, but it also made them more prepared, just like shields, many of which were made up of several wooden planks.

Of course, there is also a weapon, the wooden spear, which is used for throwing, and the Goguryeo front charge the shield soldiers, rush to a certain distance, raise their hands to throw the wooden spear in their hands, and then take one off their backs and continue to throw.

"Raise your shield!" As the generals at all levels shouted, many steel shields, round shields, and iron-wood shields rose diagonally.

"Doo! Chemical element! Chemical element! The wooden spear was nailed to the steel shield, and it made a burst of sound, and then it slid down, except for some shock to the Tang soldiers, there were no casualties, only a few unlucky ghosts were passed through the gap by the wooden spear, and they were bruised.
