Chapter 3: Fighting or Defending

"I didn't think that one day I would be able to be the mattress of Anshi City, hahaha. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A middle-aged stout man with a scruffy beard sat in the seat of the city lord's mansion of Anshi City, who had resisted Tang Taizong's army for several months, laughing wildly in the hall.

You can't blame him for being too excited, after all, he used to be just a little Lou Xiao, after the fall of Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, his original official was just a county order compared to the Tang Dynasty, so he was still a county order.

Seizing the surging wave of restoration of the Goguryeo remnants, the former small city of Lou Xiao Shao Jiakang led his soldiers and horses to fight the banner of recovering Goguryeo and creating a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty.

The remnants of Goguryeo in Liaodong, who were unwilling to die in the country, gathered to him one after another. Within a month, Shaomuro Jiayasu, who had no more than a few hundred soldiers, gathered thousands of troops, and even launched a surprise attack after finding out the reality of the Tang army in the city of Anshi a few days ago, and easily captured Anshi, a military town in the northwest of eastern Liaodong.

When Shomuro Jiakang captured Anshi, he proclaimed himself the city of Goguryeo, and sent people to spread the news that Anshi had been recovered throughout Goguryeo.

For a time, many Goguryeo remnants came to defect, and the number of rioters reached 8,000 in ten days, and they became the largest anti-Tang Goguryeo restoration force in the east and west of Liao.

I really didn't expect that the Tang State is now just a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, and he destroyed Goguryeo before, but the garrison in the hometown of Goguryeo in Nuoda is pitiful, and even an important town like Anshi is only garrisoned by a few hundred Tang troops, and there is no Tang army to crusade against him until now.

"Hehe, it seems that the Andong Protectorate made by the Tang State is very empty, maybe I should take advantage of the reaction of the Tang State and other Goguryeo restoration forces to quickly seize a large number of cities, maybe I can become the founding lord in a few years, hahaha!"

The hall reverberated with the ambitious laughter of Shomuro Yoshiyasu, and the soldiers guarding the door were quite curious to look back at their mattresses and be so happy.

"Report the ......" The herald rushed into the hall and half-knelt on the ground: "Yu Fusa, the head of Wuhuan found a large force of Tang cavalry coming to my city five miles west of Anshi, and the commander of Wuhuan decided to ambush his sentry cavalry, and specially ordered his subordinates to come back to report the military situation. ”

Shomuro Jiayasu, who was leisurely, was shocked when he heard it: "What? The Tang army is coming, how many are coming? ”

"Cushions, estimated at two to three thousand horsemen."

"Hahaha." Hearing that there were only two or three thousand people, Shaomuro Jiakang couldn't help laughing, Lao Tzu had more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which was nearly three times the strength of the Tang Army, and he was worried that he would not win this battle?

Thinking of this, Shomuro Yoshiyasu ordered the heralds: "Quickly pass on the generals to come to discuss the matter!" ”

"Command." The heralds immediately withdrew from the main hall and went to inform the generals of the army.

The generals of the Goryeo Army of Anshi City came to the main hall of the city lord's mansion one after another, and when they entered the door, they heard a lot of wild laughter.

"Hahaha, two or three thousand people from the Tang Army dare to come? We really think we're eating dry rice! The newly ascended Dao made Matsui mock Tang Jun with disdain on his face.

After seizing Anshi, Shaomuro Jiakang not only proclaimed himself a mattress, but also divided the generals under his command, just like the leader of the country.

"Yes." Matsui's words were agreed by another Taoist envoy, Fuhei, "Anyway, our Goguryeo army is also 8,000 people, and we are invincible by fighting against the fortified city of Anshi. ”

Fuping's words were immediately approved by many generals in the palace, and even the mattress Shaomuro Jiakang nodded in agreement.

This made Matsui's face collapse suddenly, and what he said was a fart in the ears of the generals, and what he flattened was fragrant.

Seeing that the confidence of his generals was high, Shaomuro Jiakang was relieved.

After all, the reputation of the Tang Army for being good at fighting in the past was real, if any of the generals were frightened by the previous achievements of the Tang Army, then no matter how confident they were, no matter how few Tang troops were, this battle would not be able to be fought.

"Generals, how should we deal with the enemy now? Although the Tang army had only two or three thousand people, it was all cavalry. ”

Shomuro Yoshiyasu threw out the question of how to meet the enemy now, if most of the Tang troops who came were infantry, it would be fine, but they were all cavalry. He used to be just a little Lou Xiao, but he had no experience in commanding infantry and cavalry.

"Bedsa, we should go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with it, and annihilate the Tang army with superior forces in one battle." One of the generals proposed, which was immediately approved by many people.

"No."

Quanshuijing, who was named Luda, stood up against it: "The Tang army is all cavalry, our army has less than 1,000 cavalry, and most of the whole army is newly recruited soldiers, not good at battle. Yesterday, there was no news from Wugu City, Silla sent Sha Lu and Gao Yanwu to join forces with 20,000 troops to Wugu, it is better for us to stick to the city to attract the Tang army under the city, and send someone to inform the two generals Sha Lu and Gao Yanwu to lead the army to come, we should join forces inside and outside, and the Tang army will definitely be completely annihilated. ”

The suggestion of the Spring Water Sutra immediately angered the other generals, and they jumped out and angrily denounced him as a coward.

"The spring water passes through you, a rat generation, you are the Changtang Army's ambition to destroy our prestige."

"Lao Tzu will call you to see if Lao Tzu's soldiers are good at battle......

The spring water was scolded by the generals and blushed, which was originally a heartfelt statement, but it attracted a reprimand, and no one would have a good time in their hearts.

Shaomuro Jiakang also sank his face, and the spring water scripture also made some sense.

Most of his soldiers were recruited within a month, and many of them were just farmers with hoes or hunters in the mountains, and they had never experienced a decent battle since they became an army.

But if it is like what the Spring Water Sutra says, stick to the city and wait for Sha Lu and Gao Yanwu's elite soldiers to come and join forces.

Not to mention whether they will come to help in the war, the current grain and grass in Anshi City is not enough to supply the needs of the army for two days, and the once strong Anshi City has been damaged for more than ten years and is not enough to defend.

What's more, Nuo is Sha Lu and Gao Yanwu came and defeated the Tang army. Each of them had 10,000 elite soldiers, and they were and were of a higher rank than him.

At that time, he was just a subordinate general under them, and where was his status as a young man.

Considering comprehensively, only by going out of the city and taking the initiative to defeat the Tang army can he maintain his current position, and he can also consolidate the foundation of Anshi to attack the surrounding areas to obtain grain and grass.

What's more, if I fight three of them and fight one, can't eight thousand people defeat the Tang army of two or three thousand?

After thinking about all this, Shomuro Jiayasu got up from his seat and said to the generals: "The Tang army is only two or three thousand people, and it has come from afar. ”

After glancing at the generals, except for the wrinkled faces of the spring water meridians, the other generals all looked at them excitedly.

Shaomuro Jiakang snorted coldly at the spring water in his heart, and then announced: "The whole army will immediately go out of the city to line up, and after the battle is won by the Tang army, we will come back for a big banquet for three days." ”

"Mattress, wise, the last general commands." The generals were preparing to leave after receiving the order.

"You can't do it." After hearing the order, the spring water looked alarmed.

"Humph!" Shaomuro Jiakang was not pleasing to the eye when he saw the Spring Water Sutra now, and teased: "General Nuo Shiquan is afraid of death, so it is a good way to drum for us in the city." ”

"Hahaha......" The rest of the generals loudly mocked the Spring Water Sutra, followed the Shao Room Jiakang, and left the Spring Water Sutra with a red face and anger in the middle of the hall.

"General, are we going to go to battle with the mattress?" The soldiers cautiously inquired about the spring water sutra that clenched their fists.

"Out, how can you not come out, otherwise these hillbillies really think we're afraid of death." The spring water shouted angrily at the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers were silent.

Angry and angry, the spring sutra that came back to his senses commanded to his own soldiers: "This victory is unpredictable, for the revival of Goguryeo, you immediately go to the Black Bone City to inform General Gao Yanwu about the situation in An'an City, and ask him to quickly transfer troops to support." ”

"Yes."

The spring water waved his hand to the pro-soldier with a heavy heart, and the pro-soldier left quickly after receiving the order,

"Hmph, what the hell is the idea in your young room Jiakang's heart, you can't see it? Rat-eyed and arrogant. "The spring water is secretly hated.

As a former nobleman of the five tribes of Goguryeo, Quansujing has always looked down on the common people who were just small officials in the past, who were just small officials in the past, and took advantage of the crisis of the Goguryeo state to pull up the army and sit on the throne.

For the revival of Goguryeo, he had to bring hundreds of his men to seek refuge in Shaomuro Jiakang with the Spring Water Sutra.

Unexpectedly, Shaomuro Jiayasu was not only a petty official from a humble background who he looked down on, but also a fool who didn't know how to march and fight.

The 8,000 army is in the hands of this kind of rat, but this kind of rat generation has a little military power, and he is comfortable and ambitious, he doesn't know who he is, and he can't even listen to his own reasonable advice. Actually humiliating himself in public, does this make the conceited Spring Sutra not angry?

The 8,000-strong Goguryeo army slowly left the city under the leadership of their Shomu Jiayasu, and the ranks pulled up a long line.

This made the spring water that led the troops out of the battle anxious in their eyes, the whole army dragged on the march, the army was not in order, the soldiers laughed with each other, the weapons were even more varied, and some soldiers were actually holding hoes.

Quan Shuijing looked at this team so angry that he stroked his forehead directly, most of the soldiers didn't even have armor, they wore cloth clothes and went with a knife, how can such an army fight in the field?

Seeing this, Quan Shuijing scolded Shao Room Jiakang and his group of rats and farmers again and again.

You really can't blame Shaomuro Jiakang for this, Goguryeo and Tang fought a war for decades, the domestic economy has long collapsed, and a large number of young and strong men have died in battle.

In addition, after the fall of Goguryeo, most of the families of the powerful and wealthy in China were forcibly immigrated to the Central Plains by the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the destruction of the people's livelihood in the old land of Goguryeo, and a large amount of wealth was plundered by the Tang army.

Moreover, the Anshi area occupied by Shomuro Gayasu was also the hardest hit area of the Tanggora War, and the damage caused by the war was more serious than that of other areas of Goguryeo.

With such a dilapidated scene, Shao Room Jiakang had the heart and strength to arm an army with everyone in armor and neatly dressed.

It is already very good that each person can get a weapon, the elite can have a pair of armor, and they can get nearly a thousand war horses to organize a cavalry.
