Li Mao is worried that after Jin Tiyong encounters a setback, he will change his strategy, Sugar

Attacking it must be saved, dividing its forces, luring the enemy out of the city, and encircling and annihilating it with superior forces in the field, this is the usual method of a wise commander. It's a conspiracy, although you know it, you can't do anything about it.

If Jin Tiyong did this, Li Mao would not have too many ways to crack it, so he could only divide his troops and garrison, and would rather lose the Kikage Mountain than drag the Silla people here, he only saw one point, the Silla people lacked food and clothing, and they could only die if they were consumed.

Li Mao's idea coincided with Jin Tiyong, the defeat of the attack on Dongzhou cast a thick shadow on Jin Tiyong's heart, this time he had done his best to attack the city, the city was about to be breached, trembling twice but holding on, such an offensive, he still has the ability to launch a few more times, but the effect will only be worse than the first, in vain to give the life of the soldier.

Jin Tiyong immediately made a decision, and then crossed the river to attack Gaozhou, you Li Mao will defend the city, I can't break Dongzhou, I can't fight Gaozhou, if you dare to go out of the city, we will fight in the field, if you don't dare to come out, I will break through each of them, break Gaozhou, and see if your army is in chaos.

Li Mao's worst fear still happened, Jin Tiyong surrounded Dongzhou with a partial division, surrounded but did not fight, crossed the river with the main force to attack Gaozhou, and he set up heavy troops under the city of Dongzhou to wait for Li Mao to take the bait.

This section of the Liaohe River was originally completely frozen, after the main channel was chiseled, it was frozen at night, but the ice was not thick, and it was broken with a hammer, Jin Tiyong used the army as a naval army, and launched an attack on the naval ships on the main channel, Li Mao used the ships as mobile fortresses, and used the unobstructed ice as a shooting range, harvesting the lives of adventurers one by one.

The superiority in strength soon became apparent, the Silla people bullied the less, or approached the edge of the main river, rockets were overwhelmingly fired at the ships, Li Mao's several main ironclad warships could guard against rocket attacks, but the auxiliary ships could not, and under the rocket attack of the Silla people, they could only leave the scene with a body of flames. Read the full text of the latest chapter

The three ironclad battleships lost cover and could only retreat slowly, so as not to become prisoners of the Silla.

The Silla people drove the roadblocks with their flesh and blood, and held on for two days and two nights, and when the main channel was completely frozen, an army of 10,000 roared across the Liao River, and the water in the siege of Gaozhou was impassable.

A series of battles took place in the middle, and the Andong army on the left and right sides of the strait worked together to fight many beautiful blocking battles, but the absolute disadvantage in strength was highlighted at this moment, and although they fought bloodily, it was still difficult to shake the determination of the Silla people.

Li Mao sat at the head of Dongzhou City and looked at the thick smoke rising in the direction of Gaozhou, listening to the earth-shattering sound of shouting and killing, as if he was looking at something in another world, something that had nothing to do with him.

He didn't help, he believed that Gaozhou City would be able to hold up this time.

Qin Mo, who has always been thought to have climbed to today's position by grabbing Li Mao's dragon tail, suddenly became possessed by the god of war, and like a golden Buddha sitting in Gaozhou, the ghosts and spirits of the town looked at the city and sighed, and hated so much that they wanted to smash the cold city wall with their heads.

Qin Mo held the men and horses with his wisdom, and Shi Xiong proved with his courage that he was the well-deserved number one tiger general in Liaodong, and the two cooperated tacitly to thwart the onslaught of strong enemies again and again with inferior forces.

During the three-day siege battle, the Silla people exhausted all the siege strategies they could so far, and they even dug tunnels more than a dozen zhang long in the cold and hard underground.

Qin Mo, the golden Buddha, can suppress Gaozhou City, but he can't expel the little ghosts who surround him and harass him, and it is Ma Hedong and Mao Taigong who really let these little ghosts die without a place to be buried.

On the seventh day of the siege, when the Silla people were obviously tired, Ma Hedong's newly formed 4th Division and Gui Zhisheng's slave army suddenly emerged from the cedar forest, attacking from the north and south.

Jin Tiyong couldn't figure out for a long time where Ma Hedong and Gui Zhisheng came from.

Gaozhou's offensive and defensive battles are even more tragic than Dongzhou, Jin Tiyong saw that there were not many soldiers and horses in the city, and the generals were inexperienced, as long as they persevered and did not slack off, the opponent would make a big mistake sooner or later, and if he caught a mistake, Gaozhou could break through in one fell swoop, and then turn passive to active, and end the battle of Liaodong before running out of food.

Li Mao's core strongholds are three: Dongzhou, Gaozhou, and Kikkoyama.

Tortoiseshell Mountain was praised by Li Mao as the heart of Liaodong, there must be a heavy defense, the terrain of that place is dangerous, not conducive to the battle of the large army, so he gave up not attacking, and focused on attacking the two states of Donggao.

There are the main force of the 1st Division, the main force of the 2nd Division and the 1st Division of the 3rd Division stationed in the Chengnei Tun of Dongzhou, the main force of the 3rd Division and the 1st Division of the 4th Division stationed in the Chengnei Tun of Gaozhou, and the main force of the 4th Division and Gui Zhisheng's slave army are all in the Tortoise Shell Mountain to protect Li Mao's Baby Pimple Mine, Steel Mill and Ordnance Institute.

These pieces of information were provided by the intelligence network left behind by Kim so-jong, and it is not clear whether it is accurate or not.

However, he carefully calculated the strength of the troops and found that except for the three defenders, Li Mao actually had no troops available.

How did Ma Hedong and the slave army come out, Jin Tiyong is not clear, could it be that they abandon Tortoise Mountain, this is not in line with common sense

The Silla offensive under the city of Goju collapsed, and when they retreated, their morale collapsed, and the orderly retreat turned into a rout.

Jin Tiyong saw that the situation was out of control, so he led his soldiers across the river and returned to the camp under the city of Dongzhou, on the way he ordered his two cadres Song Menglong and Li Hongshui to immediately lead the troops to attack the turtle shell mountain.

In the first battle of Gaozhou, the Silla army lost 4,000 military horses, and before the rest could be retreated, Jin Tiyong ordered to cut the ice in the center of the river and block the pursuers of Ma and Dong on the other side of the river.

However, although Gaozhou was relieved, the casualties were also very large, and Shi Xiong's main third division suffered more than half of the casualties, and it could not recover its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and was unable to provide effective support to Dongzhou on the other side of the river.

There is Li Mao's heart and weakness, which laid down the Tortoiseshell Mountain, although he can't put Li Mao to death, he can stab him fiercely, making him feel painful.

There are many garrisons in Kikkoshan, but they are divided into various departments and lack a commander. In peacetime, the position of the commander was filled by Zheng Xiaozhang, Zheng Xiaozhang presided over the military and political affairs effortlessly, and all affairs were only taken care of in an orderly manner, but now it is wartime, Zheng Xiaozhang, as a civilian official, has never stayed in the barracks, let alone commanded a soldier, and an opponent like Jin Tiyong is not a suitable person, and Zheng Pei, who temporarily presided over the military affairs of Kikjiashan, is also unqualified.

Li Mao thought about who to choose to sit in the town, and the final result surprised everyone: Li Mao appointed Chang Mucang as the commander of the Tortoiseshell Mountain, and commanded all the armies in a unified manner.

Chang Kikura has a very high status in the army and is very old, but he has always been engaged in military staff officers, ordnance manufacturing, and military intelligence, and he has never led troops to fight alone, can he be competent

Even Chang Mucang himself doubted this, and Li Mao comforted: "As the commander of a town, you must understand strategy, know how to use people, and perseverance, you can do these three things, as for how to fight on the battlefield, leave it to the generals." In the Dongzhou Defense War, I sat in the West Gate, only to boost morale, serious military law, and I didn't ask anything else, let Jin Dutou fight, Jin Dutou sat in the military mansion, and it was Zhu Jiu who fought against the enemy with real swords and guns on the battlefield. I'm not afraid to go into battle and kill the enemy, but I'm not better than them, maybe worse than them. You fully empower them, trust them, encourage them, and they will do better than you. ”

Tsuneki Cang said: "I understand, I will live up to my expectations." ”

Escorted by the Marquis of Heiyu, Chang Mucang secretly left Dongzhou City, took a boat to the south, and landed on the shore to the town of Kiekoyama. Accompanying him was Hu Nanxiang, the chief of Tortoiseshell Mountain, who returned to the city to report on military and political affairs.
