Chapter 761: What Are They Doing?
Mountains of grain and grass were transported to the front line by the people of Youzhou, and the 200,000 front-line battalions had been transferred to the border for a full month, and there was movement for the first time.
The Tang Dynasty conquered the five cities in the west of Goguryeo, and later during the Xianliang period, Goguryeo recaptured four of them, and Liaodong City was asked back by Du Gou by diplomatic means, so now the outpost of the Tang Dynasty attacking Goguryeo is not Huaiyuan to guard the pass, but the easternmost Liaodong City.
This time, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty did not stick to the city, and drove directly to the bottom of the southern Anshi City under the jurisdiction of Liaodong City, and confronted the defenders of Goguryeo City from afar.
Datang's latest movements immediately caused panic on the Goguryeo side, there was going to be a war, and it was finally time to do it, and Datang finally couldn't help it.
I've been scared for months, and now I'm just doing it? In the past few months, we have to open our eyes and close our eyes when we fall asleep, for fear of being attacked by Datang, this feeling is really painful, and now we can finally be relieved, even if we die immediately, we are not afraid.
These are basically the mental states of most of the soldiers on the front line of Goguryeo, of course, even including General Eulji Wudeok, who has lost ten pounds.
"The whole army is assembled and ready to defend against the enemy, and the general estimates that they are going to make a move." Etozhi Wude said in a deep voice, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
However, it didn't take long for the military order to come out, and the various military camps were urgently regrouping, and the commander of the scout battalion quickly came to the Chinese army's tent with a scout.
"General, the latest information, the Tang side has not increased its troops, but their new trend is that a large number of military rations have arrived."
"Oh? Military rations?
Hehe, too, their army of 200,000 eats and chews horses every day, and consumes a lot, if they have to do it, how can they be so fanfare? Otoshi Wude speculated.
"No, no, what the general said is that they have a large number, yes, a very large number." The scout general explained.
"Bastard, don't you know about the grain herbs yet? To explain with you? The 200,000 army would have known how much grain and grass they ate. ”
The scout general glanced back at the scout who shrunk his neck, and felt a little resentful in his heart, it's all you kid who leads the old man, you can say it yourself.
"General, the small one is the third squad of the scout battalion elite scout Yu Er, I found out about the first five hundred steps, it is a mountain of grain and grass, not to mention 200,000 troops to eat, it is estimated that it is a million army, it is enough to eat for two months, the small one does not dare to delay, after finding out the enemy's situation, he immediately came to report."
What the???
Grain Mountain? It takes two months for a million troops to eat, so it takes ten months for an army of 200,000 to eat? Where did Datang get so much grain? And aren't they going to war? We only have an army of 100,000, and the other side still has thunder, is this going to fight a protracted war with us?
No, is it to stone us to death with food?
Otoji Wude was puzzled, thought of many reasons, and was quickly overthrown by himself.
"Let's take a look and talk about it, prepare for war first, no matter what, they always have to attack the city, we have a strong wall and clear the wilderness, Anshi City is the current west gate of Goguryeo, they would never have imagined that we would set up two cement walls in the city, this is the copper wall and iron wall, even if it is a thunderstorm, the general will not be afraid."
In the following days, Datang once again did not move, no, it is not accurate, in fact, it is useless, but every day in Datang's 200,000 military camps, there are countless more cooking smokes, and there are three meals a day, and there is meat every day.
This kind of life, not to mention the drooling of the scouts who went to investigate, even the soldiers guarding the city smacked their lips one by one, and they didn't need the scouts to come back and leak it, and every day there were 100,000 pots of incense floating ten miles away from five miles, and they were also specially in the upwind outlet, and the people in the city couldn't avoid it if they wanted to.
Yizhi Wude was depressed for a while, Datang is too damaged, it's all such a strong strength, it's not a tough actual battle, and it's still playing with clever tricks? Isn't that bullying?
What are you doing? Don't fight well, eat and drink all day? Can you take us down with this? Do we drool to death?
With 200,000 troops in hand, why not attack the city? Are you so afraid of death? It's a pity that we Goguryeo are so poor? Even Ben is no longer guaranteed to eat meat a day.
In fact, he didn't know that at this level, it was still the military rations that Yuangai Suwen tried his best to vacate for his front-line soldiers.
Because the front-line defenders have to confront the Tang army a few months ago, the consumption of 100,000 troops in the past few months is a terrifying number, if it is not for the autumn harvest to peel off a layer of people, I am afraid that the military rations of Anshi City will be in an emergency.
At this time, Yuangai Suwen was also anxious about a rumor, that is, Bai Fan, who had already started it, put the propaganda advertisements he wrote into the people and cities of Goguryeo, and no one knew where the white flowers and pieces of paper flying in every city came from, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Even villages in various places gradually appeared in the hands of the local people more or less within a few days.
This is paper, a good paper with white flowers, I heard that this thing has only been seen by high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary scholars can't touch good paper of such a material at all, how can it be like falling from the sky, all over the sky?
The most important thing is the content on the paper, most people are illiterate, but with the thought of literacy, everyone will understand it.
But how is this possible? Is that a good thing? It's obviously a lie, if there is that good thing, won't the Tang people themselves take it up?
Most people don't believe it, but this also caused the first wave of public opinion offensive to Goguryeo, which is tentative, Yuangai Suwen can't see it well, this is an upright conspiracy, others don't know the national conditions of their country, they know it well, Goguryeo is seriously short of food because of the war this year, and if the people have a day when they have no food to eat, they will definitely try their luck.
But Yuangai Suwen didn't expect that this leaflet flying all over the sky was just the first sound of bad news in Goguryeo, and the next death knell made him, a hero of the time, tremble, and the Tang Dynasty completely blocked the border, prohibiting any trade with the peninsula, and even the needles and threads did not flow into the peninsula.
Even Silla's curved trade method was cut off by Datang, that is to say, Datang is going to make a move, this time it is aimed at the entire peninsula, and even Silla is counted on the enemy's side.
It's over, Goguryeo is short of materials, it can't be self-sufficient at all, Baekje and Silla are poorer than us, and if this goes on like this, the country will be chaotic, how dare he Datang do this? Thousands of generations have never seen a single imperial court dare to block merchants like this, not even smuggling, is it possible that the Tang Dynasty has been united to such an extent? Is Emperor Li Er already in complete control?
For the first time, a feeling of fear arose in Yuangai Suwen's heart.
