Chapter 338: Great War One
Moreover, Feng Daiwen of Liaoxi has been in business for many years, and has made countless efforts, if he is not absolutely sure, he will inevitably ask for help.
Li Jing and Feng Daiwen exchanged military affairs many times, and they knew best that he liked to crush the enemy with absolute strength, and he was not eighty percent sure that he rarely made a move.
"Don't worry about Liaoxi, just pay attention at any time, what is the current situation in other places, and the people in China must be stable." Li Shimin raised his hand and pressed it and said solemnly.
Hearing Li Shimin, Li Jing said that Liaoxi was fine, so that everyone could calm down, believing that Liaoxi would be fine.
"Lao Chen suggested that the Wadao Naval Division go to the Baekje area, find an opportunity to attack, force them to return to the division to rescue, and relieve the pressure on Liaoxi." Yang Gongren suggested.
"The minister thought it was best to go to Liaoxi first and discuss with Feng Weiguo, so as not to disrupt his arrangement." Li Jing always has an intuition in his heart, thinking that Feng Daiwen will not simply defend, and will inevitably make things, this feeling is quite strong, in Li Jing's heart, this is a restless master, nothing will make things, not to mention that this time he was sent to his base camp, and he has been preparing for more than half a year, under Li Shimin's decentralization, it is strange not to make a big deal.
When Li Shimin heard what Li Jing said, he also felt something, glanced at Li Jing, and found that he was thoughtful, and immediately affirmed his conjecture in his heart, and said coldly: "Hmph! Spread the message to Feng Weiguo in Liaoxi, if Liaoxi is lost, I will not spare it. ”
Now everyone heard it, it seems that Li Shimin is full of confidence in Feng Daiwen, not only can he defend it, but it seems that he has concluded that the coalition army will inevitably fail.
"The minister went to Guannei Dao on the same day, led 10,000 Japanese slave death squads, and recruited 20,000 soldiers in Guannei Dao to meet Xue Yantuo." Li Jing said to Li Shimin.
"The battle ahead is entrusted to Aiqing, and I look forward to Aiqing's victory!" Li Shimin got up and saluted back.
"I will live up to the trust of God!" Li Jing bent sideways and returned the salute.
The two staged a big drama of the monarch and the minister in the imperial study, and there were records of the historians, and the other ministers were excited, and they were obviously quite looking forward to the expedition of the Tang Dynasty Army God, the Broken Army Star, and the Tota Heavenly King.
…………
On October 20 of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, led 3,000 cavalry, 10,000 Japanese slave death squads, and 20,000 Guannei Daofu soldiers to Shuofang.
On the 25th of the same month, Gar Dongzan led the 200,000 Tibetan army to attack Songzhou.
Seeing that he could not outwit him, Gar Dongzan adopted the siege of three and ordered the siege on three sides in turn, intending to forcibly take Songzhou, which lasted day and night for three consecutive days.
Due to the division of troops in the Tang Dynasty, Songzhou only had 20,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 government soldiers, and they were continuously attacked, so they were so tired that they couldn't pull their bows and arrows, so they had to defend hard and start a bloody battle.
…………
Jianmen Pass, Jianmen is in danger in the world, Tuyuhun has tried many times, and he is helpless against Jianmen Pass, Murong Xiaojun turned to attack Anrong City, Anrong City is weak, it was broken in one day and one night, and there are 1,000 soldiers in the city, and all 3,000 young people have been martyred, but fortunately, the people in the city have already evacuated.
When Hou Junji heard that the city was broken, he was furious in his heart, and attacked with 30,000 to 50,000, fighting in Anrong City.
Hou Junji used shield soldiers to cover, with eight ox crossbows, catapults to storm Anrong City, and then the archers advanced, and the small city of Anrong was almost covered by a rain of arrows, so that Tuyuhun suffered a lot of casualties.
Hou Junji avenged the destruction of the city, which was also because only his defensive area was the first to break through the city, and this also made him feel disgraced, with his strong personality, he naturally wanted to retaliate fiercely.
Murong Xiaojun was not a weak person, and when he saw that he was so pressed by the Tang Dynasty that he couldn't raise his head, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack, and 20,000 cavalry came out from both sides of the city and pounced on Hou Junji's siege soldiers.
Hou Junji had already taken precautions, listing a long spear array, a forest of spears, crossbow arrows flying together, and a giant steel shield protection, so that the advancing cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and then all the 3,000 cavalry dispatched to repel the Tuyuhun cavalry that outweighed the losses.
In this battle, Tuyuhun suffered 6,000 casualties, and did not hurt the siege equipment, and hundreds of soldiers in Datang were killed by cavalry.
Hou Junji suppressed with a bow and arrow, continued to lead the army to attack, and once attacked the city wall, but was recaptured by Tuyuhun.
Because of the sophisticated equipment of the Tang Dynasty, and the suppression of siege weapons, there is no shortage of archers, so that Tuyuhun defense is very difficult, and now the offense and defense are exchanged, Tuyuhun has to stick to the small city, although he can retreat, but after all, there are more than the Tang people, and almost all of them are cavalry, so he is unwilling to admit defeat.
For three consecutive days, Hou Junji did not attack at the cost of thousands of dead and wounded, and finally calmed down and began to slowly attack the city with siege weapons, putting pressure on the enemy, and harassing him day and night.
Murong Xiaojun just wanted to retreat, but Duan Zhixuan led three thousand Xuanjia troops to arrive and blocked Tuyuhun's retreat. Li Shimin's pro-army, there is no one around the Tang Dynasty who does not know each other, and Murong Xiaojun is naturally no exception.
The Xuanjia Army is famous for its whole body of Xuan-colored iron armor, which is a heavy-armored cavalry, which was formed by the elite of Li Shimin's election army that year, and attacked Wang Shichong with 3,000 people in and out of the 100,000 army, and became famous all over the world.
Now although the Tang Dynasty has sufficient soldiers, the number has not increased, but the iron armor has become steel armor, the weapons in the hands are all long-handled horse chopping sabers, with crossbows, one person and two horses, and three thousand people stand outside the city, silent, but Murong Xiaojun who watched can feel a sense of slaughter, and from the neat control of the war horse, it can be found that this is the elite of a group of elites who have cooperated for a long time.
"Brother Duan! Why are you here in person? Hou Junji asked very unexpectedly when he saw Duan Zhixuan coming with the Xuanjia Army.
"I've seen Mr. Hou! The Holy Lord asked the subordinate to bring a secret weapon to help the chief defeat the enemy! Duan Zhixuan clenched his fists and said.
"Can you tell me what the secret weapon is?" Hou Junji asked.
"The fierce fire oil refined from stone lacquer, which is contained in clay pots, and thrown into the city by catapults, can turn the whole town into white ground." Duan Zhixuan did not hide it at all, and introduced it carefully.
"Haha! Then ask Brother Duan to let go and fully cooperate. When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately laughed happily, after all, there is no problem if he wants to capture it here, but it can't stop Tuyuhun from escaping.
"Well, the lower officials have overstepped their authority, and asked the governor to order the city to be blocked on all sides, and the catapults should be distributed in four gates, and after they are ready, they will be ordered to attack at the same time with a trumpet order." Duan Zhixuan has never been smiling, as the leader of Li Shimin's personal guard, although Hou Junji is the head of the Jiannan Road march, of course he will not care too much about his attitude, and immediately said his own arrangement, as for the operation, of course, there is the assistance of the Xuanjia Army.
Hou Junji was of course familiar with Duan Zhixuan, and he didn't care about his attitude, so he immediately followed his instructions and asked people to do it.
The four gates were sealed with spears and shields, and horses were repelled and pitted for horses.
