Chapter 1691: Pit Daddy's Ally
The Chinese army commanded by Li Ji did not directly attack the new city, but quickly took the three small cities around the new city, and the defense system of the new city was peeled off, and now Li Ji's army has been in a situation of encirclement of the new city, and at the same time Li Ji sent a flight unit to explore the deployment of the enemy's army, and 30 pilots relied on the high mountains around the new city to glide over the new city, and the military deployment of the new city was seen as completely clean.
You don't need to look at this carefully, you can judge it from the number of camps.
The cities of Goguryeo are all built on the mountains, and the flight troops like this environment, if you want to build it on the plains, where will I go to take off!
In just one day, Li Ji knew the deployment of the new city well, which was much easier.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.
Li Ji immediately formulated a set of offensive plans for the deployment of the new city.
After three days of fierce fighting, Li Ji's army was bloodless, took the new city, and took the surrounding seven cities in one go.
Goguryeo was shocked by the whole country, they did not expect that the Tang army would break through the Liaoshui defense so quickly, which was sharper than any previous time.
Now in the entire Liaoshui waters, only Anshi City has not been breached, because Xue Rengui, Liu Renyuan, and Gao Kan have just gone north and are attacking the back line of Anshi City.
Without waiting for their troops to come to the city, Yuangai Suwen over there decisively gave up the entire Liaoshui area, named Yang Wanchun as the commander of the former army, tried to delay the pace of the Tang army's attack, and fought and retreated, and then ordered all the soldiers and civilians in the area from Liaoshui to the Yalu River to retreat to the Yalu River, and began to implement the scorched earth strategy, take away as much as possible that can be taken away, burn everything that cannot be taken away, and do not leave any supplies for the Tang army.
As soon as Yang Wanchun's army retreated, Xue Rengui and Gao Kan easily occupied this Anshi City, which had never been captured.
However, Yuangai Suwen doesn't take Tang Jun too seriously, he always comes to such a trick, and if he plays too much, he will always be found flawed.
This time, Tang Jun didn't care about this scorched earth strategy at all, do you like to burn or not, anyway, we have food, who is scarce of your food.
Because Han Yi has already planned it, the logistics army is advancing by land and water, and following the army along the road, anyway, Goguryeo implemented the scorched earth strategy, and no one left him, Han Yi also felt that it was a lot easier, and the logistics army got a lot of labor supplements in Shicheng and Jili City, and the road here is difficult for you to walk, so I will go directly to the sea, and even the donkey is directly transported on the ship to help the donkey save physical strength.
Because Goguryeo had a scorched earth policy, it would not garrison the coast at all, and completely gave up, so the logistics army had a smooth journey. And although the Tang army is divided into three routes, but the south road is the fastest, because they are closest to the logistics army, they are all lightly armed, after arriving at the assembly point, they immediately get the road ready, as soon as the logistics army arrives, immediately let the prisoners carry donkey carts, carriages to the north to provide supplies for the Chinese army, the north road, Qi He Li They want to go north to attack Goguryeo's allies, Baishan and other tribes.
Then this supply route is very short, and the assembly point that Han Yi and they chose in advance, the nearby roads are all extended, Goguryeo's scorched earth strategy, he can burn down the house, but he can't destroy the road, this is not a railway, it is not a road, this is the situation, where else can the bad road go.
Moreover, the emergence of assembly technology also greatly improved the speed of the Tang Army's march.
When marching, everyone can bring a part on their body, the smallest can be put in their pockets, and when they arrive at the stationing point, they can take out the parts and assemble them, and even the siege vehicles are dismantled and transported, because the Ministry of Industry has all popularized assembly line production, so no matter what equipment is designed, it can be dismantled more finely, and it can be dismantled more finely.
This weight is reduced to zero, then the speed of the march is naturally much faster, which is very beneficial to the Tang army, and it can even be said that it directly affects the victory or defeat, because the Tang army has to try to eliminate Goguryeo before the arrival of winter.
At the same time, the Sojeongfang division on the eastern front was also advancing westward with the 50,000 elites commanded by the king of Silla. Goguryeo did not implement any scorched earth strategy on the Eastern Front, not only that, but Yuangai Suwen also transferred a lot of troops to defend, which shows that even at this point, this Yuangai Suwen is still very calm-headed, he knows that the main force of the Tang army is in front, I don't fight head-on with the main force of the Tang army, I try to drag it out, and I want to be in the most favorable terrain to fight the Tang army.
Destroy the Tang army behind first.
He knew that he had to fight back, otherwise it would be too difficult to fight on both sides.
It's a pity that Su Dingfang is not a general, and he is also a fierce man who is ignored in the Tang Army, this military talent is not inferior to Li Ji, but he was always pressed before, so he is often ignored, and now although he only gives Su Dingfang a partial division to fight, but Su Dingfang wants just an opportunity, and what is even worse is that Su Dingfang also warmed up in front of Baekje, got used to this side of the water and soil, and captured the entire Baekje royal family, at this time his hands are hot, that is really high-spirited, with soldiers like a god, opposite Goguryeo, which is more powerful than Baekje, And when the troops are not superior, they still fight and win successes, maintaining an undefeated body, and with the assistance of Liu Renliang and Liu Boying, the fight is vigorous.
This can't be stopped!
forced Yuan Gai Su Wen to send his eldest son, Yuan boy, over, and he must block Su Dingfang.
The tent of the large barracks.
At this time, Su Dingfang was working with Liu Boying to formulate the next battle plan.
"If we continue like this, we will soon be able to reach Pyongyang City." Liu Boying said very excitedly.
They marched from the Eastern Front, very close to Pyongyang, and the distance was more than twice as short as the main forces in front. Originally, they were just trying to contain Goguryeo and cooperate with the main force to fight, but they didn't expect them to arrive at Pyongyang City first.
Su Dingfang did frown and said: "But our forces are really limited, and if we want to besiege Pyongyang City, I'm afraid it's not so easy, and I don't know where they will fight?" ”
Liu Boying thought to himself, if he had to wait for the main army, wouldn't the credit go to Li Ji's head again, and said: "Isn't there still 50,000 elites of the King of Silla over there, the main force of Goguryeo must be on the front line, if we can reach Pyongyang City, they will be in a dilemma, and this is our opportunity." We should hurry up and ask Deputy Envoy Yang to send some siege equipment to prepare for the attack on Pyongyang. ”
He didn't expect to play so smoothly, and since the opportunity came, he had to seize it.
Su Dingfang was very tempted, nodded slightly, he also wanted to prove himself, and said: "I don't know what happened to the King of Silla, it seems that we have to have someone to inform them, join forces with our army, and prepare to besiege Pyongyang City." ”
As soon as the words fell, a rapid shout was heard.
"Report!"
An informant almost climbed into the tent, "The commander of the enemy army, Won Nam, defeated the main force of Silla on the northern front, and cut off the back road of the Silla army, and now the Silla army is trapped in the valley to the north, and the king of Silla asks our army to come to their aid." ”
Liu Boying said excitedly: "How is this possible? The main forces of the enemy are fending off our troops. ”
"According to the information inquired, the Yuan boy only brought 10,000 soldiers over."
"King Silla is a fucking piece of shit."
Liu Boying was so angry that he scolded, 50,000 to 10,000, and was surrounded and beaten, how could he figure this out, and said to Su Dingfang: "Just those wastes, if you die well, let's not save him." ”
Su Dingfang was depressed to death, if he could join forces with Silla at this time, this force was very considerable, and he had a chance to attack Pyongyang City, but he didn't expect the King of Silla to drop the chain at this time, but he didn't show it, and said: "We must save them, without the support of Silla, it will be difficult for us to besiege Pyongyang City alone." ”
Liu Boying stomped his feet fiercely, muttering and scolding non-stop.
As the so-called tiger father has no dog, the Yuan boy is not a waste second generation, he has been with Yuan Gai Suwen since he was a child, and he is also experienced in a hundred battles, after he came to the Eastern Front to take over, he saw that the Tang Army was unstoppable, and he also knew that he might not be able to beat Su Dingfang, since this is the case, don't go to compete with Su Dingfang, this earth is round, let's pick a soft pinch, and we can also increase morale.
This Goguryeo has been pressed and beaten by the Tang army, and it has played a psychological shadow, but Silla has just been pressed and beaten by Goguryeo, and the relationship between the three is very interesting.
So this abyss boy changed his strategy, let's not go head-on with the Tang army, let's fight the Silla army, he knew very well in his heart that this Su Dingfang had limited troops, without the support of Silla, Su Dingfang and he couldn't make any big waves, he could hit me with his fists, but you didn't have enough strength to kill me, so he personally commanded 10,000 elites to attack the Silla army, and the main force still stayed here to resist the Tang army.
The soldiers of Goguryeo were beaten by Su Dingfang, but they really couldn't beat Su Dingfang, and several counterattacks, not only did they not succeed, but they were beaten by Su Dingfang, so they could only sprinkle all the grievances received by the Tang army on the heads of the Silla people, because they often teased Silla, and they had an absolute advantage at the psychological level. This is actually human nature, if you bully me, I can't beat you, then I will bully the enemy who is weaker than me and find a balance.
Seeing that Pyongyang was in front of him, because of an alliance with a pig teammate, Su Dingfang could only temporarily change his route and turn the gun to save the king of Silla, the Silla army was slow to march and was still behind. However, Su Dingfang is battle-hardened after all, there are still enemies in front of him, and he does not dare to take it lightly, so he asked Liu Boying and Liu Renliang to command the rear army to rescue the king of Silla first, and he himself led the main force to cover them, while covering, he also retreated to the north, he did not have many troops, and he divided his troops out, and he did not dare to stay here, for fear of being broken by the enemy one by one.
Yuan boy really kept a hand, he ordered one of his generals to monitor the Tang army at this time, if the Tang army hurriedly went to rescue Goguryeo, or divide the troops, then ambush the Tang army in the middle of the road, the general saw that the Tang army retreated in an orderly manner, and the defense was also comprehensive, there was no chance to start, plus Su Dingfang's military flag was erected in front of him, and the soldiers here saw Su Dingfang's military flag, they were timid, so they thought about it, or forget it, this life is precious, and it really can't be done.
.......
The boy from Nayuan can stop Su Dingfang's progress, but there is no one in the world who can stop Wu Meiniang's progress.
Yuzhou.
"Grandpa! Grandfather! ”
The eldest grandson Yan came to the door of the eldest grandson Wuji, shouted a few times, but did not answer, and faintly heard the sound of crying from inside, an ominous premonition came to his heart, he pushed the door open, the scene in front of him made him stunned, only to see the eldest grandson Wuji hanging on the rope on the beam, and the old housekeeper beside him was kneeling below, already crying.
"Grandpa---!"
I heard a heart-rending scream.
