The front-line war in Goguryeo was unexpectedly smooth, and Li Shimin, who was smooth, was already complacent.

The Tang army was good at field warfare, and Goguryeo could only hide behind the strong city walls, not daring to show its head, so that now in the entire west of the Yalu River, only a few fortified cities are still resisting, and the people in other places have been completely washed.

It can be said that even if Li Shimin retreats now, Goguryeo will be greatly injured, and there will be no ten or twenty years to recover his vitality.

It's just that next, the war inevitably entered the stage of stalemate, and the Tang army felt a bit like a dog biting a hedgehog in the face of one fortified fortress after another, and he couldn't even bite it.

It's not that it can't be defeated, Li Shimin is also a good hand at attacking the city, but there is no doubt that it takes time to attack the city, and now the fortified cities west of the Yalu River are still holding on, including Xincheng, Anshi, Baiyan, Wuguo, Houhuang, Hengshan, Mill Rice, Wheat Valley, etc.

In addition to the new city guarding the mouth of the Great Wall, almost a straight line along the Qianshan Mountain Range from south to north branch, all of them are sitting on the danger of mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, during this time his subordinates have almost all touched, but none of them have been defeated, and if you want to make progress next, you can only gather people and horses to fight a tough battle.

In addition, the new city that Gao Yanshou is holding on to is still strong, Xue Wanche is also a generation of famous generals, but he is helpless against this hard bone, and he has broken a few teeth, and the most important thing is that he watched the other brother troops sweep up and transfer out their pensions, but their troops can only gnaw stones, so that their morale is not very high.

Even if this new city is allowed to slaughter the city, but this pure military city is one, and if it is all slaughtered, it can grab a few copper pieces.

Besides, Gao Huizhen, after suppressing the bandits, he heard that the Great Wall had been lost to the Tang Dynasty, so he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, but he did not lose his cool.

Li Shimin's Chinese army has bypassed Xincheng and sprinkled in all directions of Goguryeo, and Gao Huizhen's position has been exposed when he kills all the way back, this person is also a generation of famous generals, and he immediately realized that if he continues like this, he will be made dumplings by Li Shimin.

Fighting in the field, he knew very well that he knew that his men and horses were not enough to warm up the Tang army.

After thinking about it, after learning that the main force of the Tang army had bypassed Xincheng, Gao Huizhen decisively decided that they would also go around, not to the west, but to the south, around the circle of the boss, and went to Anshi, which not only smashed Li Shimin's plan to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but also disgusted him.

Let's talk about these geographical locations.

Xincheng, should be the Shanhaiguan in later generations, the location of Huludao, just stuck in the throat of the inside and outside the pass, of course, the Goguryeo Great Wall at this time is far from being compared with the Ming Great Wall, and the Shanhaiguan has not yet been repaired, so this is just a small city, otherwise the Tang army will not be able to bypass.

However, if this place is not taken down, a large number of grain and grass materials will not come in safely and steadily, and the army can only temporarily eat the enemy after bypassing, and if the supplies are exhausted, the new city cannot be taken, and the army will have to be trapped alive, so Li Shimin's move is actually quite risky.

The reason why he did this, he also had the confidence, he asked Li Daozong to fight Shabei, that place was Dalian in the later generations, and their entire army was now in the territory of Liao Province in the later generations, if Shabei was used as a supply base, even if they didn't take care of the new city, it would not be a big deal.

And where is Anshi? It was almost in the area of Yingkou and Anshan, that is, to the north of Dalian, and at this time, it was just stuck on the road from Shabei City to the supply of the army.

To put it simply, the problem Li Shimin is facing now is that he must either quickly knock down the new city or quickly knock down the city of An, this time must be fast, otherwise the army will run out of food, and the city and the new city are not too far away from each other, and they can support each other, even as an opponent, he can't help but praise Gao Huizhen.

This move is beautiful.

It's a pity, no matter how beautiful the chess is, it can only be disgusting and disgusting at most, the battle situation west of the Yalu River has been decided, and now it can only be a trapped beast fighting, dying and struggling, under the general trend, no matter how strong personal ability can not turn the tide.

Chain reaction, with Gao Huizhen stationed in Anshi City, the strategic intention of abandoning Shabei City has been obvious, not everyone is Zhang Xun's, so Shabei City was quickly taken under Li Daozong's offensive, and Li Daozong's tens of thousands of Hu cavalry also freed their hands, leaving thousands of people to defend the city, and then led the army north, stationed between Xincheng and Anshi, so that they did not dare to contact and support each other.

So Li Shimin decided to transfer back the army and go all out to capture Anshi first, after all, this place was originally just a supply base for the Great Wall, the city walls were low, and the fortifications were not perfect, which was far easier to fight than the new city.

As for Xincheng, let Xue Wanche gnaw slowly, even if they can't be defeated, they will be trapped to death, anyway, with Qin Hao's navy, they are so flexible.

Poor Xue Wancheyou, who made him turn out to be Li Jiancheng's person, the dirty work is all his.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is also a soldier, knowing that even if Xue Wanche can endure the soldiers under his command, he can't stand it, so he promised him to wait for Gyeongju to fight after breaking a row of small cities in the Qianshan Mountain Range, and allow him to slaughter the city for three days after breaking the city, so that they can earn some money.

Under the city of Anshi, Li Shimin rode a horse and walked around the city twice, except for a circle of trenches that were not very deep, there was not even a moat, and the city was indeed not high, and it could be climbed up with a siege crossbow, and there was no need to build siege equipment.

He sneered and said: "Stubborn resistance, self-defeating, come, who will take this city down for me." ”

In the end, Cheng Mingzhen grabbed the command flag, led his soldiers to rush up, and filled the trench with a sack.

Those who have fought this battle know that in a siege battle, the casualties of the first wave rushing forward must be the worst, because the defenders are at their most abundant in terms of morale and supplies, and they may not be able to die many people in a whole day after a few days or months of siege.

That Gao Huizhen is also a good fighter, so after Cheng Mingzhen rushed up, there was a rain of arrows in the sky, shooting and killing many people, and the Tang soldiers and soldiers dodged one after another, hesitated, and did not fill the small ditch for a long time.

Li Shimin was furious and scolded angrily: "Can't my Tang soldiers fight a tough battle anymore? When robbing money, one by one is like rushing to reincarnate, just attacking such a small city, and actually retreating? Cheng Mingzhen, how did you lead the soldiers? ”

Cheng Mingzhen's face was flushed, he felt a little aggrieved but didn't dare to talk back, he knew that this was a saint playing on the topic.

Goguryeo is full of general coupons, which is really exciting, the soldiers are not afraid of death, but as soon as they meet the strong city and can't fight for two days, they will withdraw, the soldiers are full of money, and no one is willing to fight hard battles and hard battles, not because they are afraid of death, but because they are afraid that when they attack the city, the general coupons all over the ground will be robbed by friendly troops, otherwise they will not always let the Tang Dynasty be angry and Bao Xue Wanche will go to besiege the new city.

Li Shimin had wanted to talk about this for a long time, but Cheng Mingzhen just hit the muzzle of the gun, and he deserved to be unlucky.

What kind of person is Li Shimin, the king of the show in the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't count two sentences, he actually walked forward with his own horse, came to the sandbag, turned over and dismounted, resisted the sandbag, and rushed forward with the army.

The civil and military officials were all stupid, especially Cheng Mingzhen, who felt that the urine was about to come out, and Li Shimin actually wanted to be a death squad to carry sandbags?

, sage, calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive.
