Chapter 441: Take control of Jian'an City

()

When night fell, the battle for Jian'an City was almost over.

According to Zhang Liang and Xue Rengui's inference, the soldiers defending Jian'an City were indeed about the same as Gao Ming's inference, around 50,000.

After this battle, about 10,000 enemies were killed, more than 5,000 people were captured, and the remaining more than 10,000 people all ran away.

Gao Ming sat in the city lord's mansion in Jian'an, listening to Zhang Liang and the others report to him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, those Goguryeo people shouldn't have run far yet, Weichen is sure to catch up with them before they reach Liaodong City, it's better to ......"

Gao Ming understood what Zhang Liang meant, and immediately smiled and waved.

"Haha, no need, they don't threaten us anymore, now our main task is to control the construction of Ancheng, this matter will be left to you, what to do without me teaching you, right?"

"Yes, Weichen understands!"

Zhang Liang agreed, and then retreated, and after he left, Xue Rengui arched towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the south gate that was broken by the cannon will be difficult to repair for a while, in order to prevent the Goguryeo people from attacking, the last general is willing to ask His Highness to drive the tank to the gate of the south gate!"

"Blocking the door with a tank?"

After hearing Xue Rengui's suggestion, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Well, it's a good idea, I agreed, Huzi, you and Rengui go on a trip, and drive the tank to the south gate to block the gate."

"Yes!"

After Huzi and Xue Rengui left, there was only one Hou Junji left by Gao Ming's side, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Gao Ming could only shake his head helplessly.

"I'm tired today, Lu Guogong might as well go back and rest early!"

"This ......"

Hou Junji also heard the meaning of Gao Ming's words, he hesitated for a moment, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen wants to take 20,000 people to attack Beisha City, and I ask His Highness to agree!"

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Gao Ming's face suddenly showed a narrow smile.

"Huh? Lu Guogong, that Beisha City is not easy to fight, besides, we have just taken Jian'an City, in case Liaodong City or Xincheng send troops to attack, no one can defend the city, so the matter of attacking Beisha City, let's talk about it later! ”

Hou Junji also heard the meaning of Gao Ming's words, and his face immediately turned red.

If according to Hou Junji's previous style, he would have waved his sleeves and left directly at this time, but now he didn't dare, because he knew that if he really left now, with Gao Ming's cautious temperament, then this time he would have nothing to do with Hou Junji when he fought Goguryeo.

This attack on Jian'an City opened Hou Junji's eyes, although he had already guessed that Gao Ming had a killing skill, but he didn't expect this killing weapon to be so powerful, and he blasted open the gate of Jian'an City after a hundred steps.

Now he finally understands why Cheng Cheng wants to ask Gao Ming for that cannon one day ago, this thing is simply a siege weapon!

The appearance of artillery completely broke the original mode of warfare, and the cavalry, which could only be applied to field battles, can now also be applied to siege warfare.

Artillery broke the city, then blocked the city gate with cavalry, and then cooperated with the infantry entering the city to sweep the enemy troops in the city, this mode of war allowed Hou Junji to see a new gate.

It turns out that siege warfare can still be fought like this!

At this time, he suddenly thought that Cheng Yanjin and Gao Ming were going to go to fifty cannons, he didn't understand it before, but now he understands that Cheng Yanjin must have taken these cannons to bombard the city gate of Liaodong City.

There are also 50,000 things called "Fudo Ming King", originally Hou Junji guessed that it was a Buddha statue, but now that he thinks about it, it must also be some kind of powerful war weapon!

Hou Junji knew very well that in terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Goguryeo people were far inferior to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and all they could rely on was to defend Gaocheng.

But now that the Tang Dynasty has cannons, when the city gate is broken, the Goguryeo people will definitely be defeated!

"The Goguryeo people have always had no backbone, and when Cheng Bites Jin and they break through Liaodong City, Goguryeo sees that the general trend has gone, maybe they will surrender, and I can't think of a way, so I can only stare dryly."

After thinking about these things clearly, Hou Junji's brain was activated.

"I must make a contribution before Cheng Yanjin and others break through Liaodong City, now Jian'an City has been taken by the prince, and the closest big city to Jian'an City, there is only Beisha City, as long as it is taken, it can be regarded as a great achievement!"

After making a decision, Hou Junji immediately gritted his teeth, and then knelt down on one knee towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general is willing to make a military order to break through Beisha City within one day, and his subordinates only need to bring 20,000...... No, 10,000 people are enough! ”

Hearing Hou Junji's words, looking at his eager appearance, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, Lu Guogong, don't be impatient, the most taboo thing about fighting this kind of thing is to rush in, now that Jian'an has been won, Beisha City can be said to be our bag, when to take it all depends on our mood, so you don't have to worry."

"But ......"

Hou Junji wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Gao Ming waved at him with a smile.

"Okay, you don't need to say more, the soldiers are also tired, and Jian'an City has not been fully controlled, as the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, don't worry about anything else in the past two days, first deal with the affairs of Jian'an City, okay, I'm tired, you can also go down and rest!"

"This ...... All right! ”

Hearing Gao Ming say this, Hou Junji could only stand up, and then arched towards Gao Ming.

"Wechen retires!"

After Hou Junji left, Gao Ming stood up and then stretched.

"Oops, I'm so tired, I can finally get a good night's sleep today."

As he spoke, Gao Ming entered the backyard under the escort of several soldiers.

At this time, the backyard was full of servants, hundreds of large and small, and when they saw Gao Ming coming, they all trembled with fright.

Gao Ming walked to the door of the room, hooked the chin of a servant girl, looked at her frightened face, and immediately shook his head in disappointment.

"The woman with the stick, whether it is temperament or appearance, is not as good as my Datang woman, it is really boring, tasteless!"

With that, Gao Ming let go of the servant's jaw, and then swung towards the soldier behind him.

"Pass the order, these Goguryeo women in the city lord's mansion, any soldier can exchange military merits if he wants, one out of ten ears, if everyone looks at one, whoever has more ears will belong to whom!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming didn't look at everyone's expressions, so he directly pushed the door open and went in.

As he closed the door, he suddenly heard the loud cheers of the soldiers outside the door.

Hearing this cheer, a smile suddenly appeared on Gao Ming's face.

"It seems that money and women are really the accelerants of war!"

With a smile on his face, Gao Ming yawned, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When Gao Ming fell asleep, the siege of Liaodong City, which was dozens of miles away, also began.
