Chapter 455: Tough Battle

Later, the Tang army moved to Baiyan City, and when Lin Sen had already climbed the city wall and was ready to kill, Goguryeo Wugucheng sent more than 10,000 troops to support Baiyan City.

This time, we must not let Lin Sen, who attacked the city wall, come down to meet them again, and the blow to morale will be terrible.

What's more, Lin Sen was not the only fierce general in the army, so he sent Qibi He Li, a fierce general of the Hu people who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, to lead 800 cavalry of his own tribe to meet the reinforcements.

He Li personally entered the enemy's position and was stabbed in the waist, but this man was indeed brave, tied up his wounds, and insisted on continuing the battle.

The cavalry that followed him was inspired by him, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they attacked with all their might, but with this morale, they were defeated by the Goguryeo army that came to their aids.

He chased and killed for dozens of miles, beheading more than a thousand people, and did not stop until sunset and darkness.

It was like a pack of wolves chasing a pack of frightened fawns on the run.

I have to say that in several battles, the Tang army has all played with confidence, and there are countless examples of winning more with less, whether it is the side of the Tang army or the enemy, they are all a little accustomed to this, and it is taken for granted to fight more with less.

However, it is still relatively rare to be as brave as Qibi He Li, and it has also won praise from the whole army.

After Lin Sen led the lead to capture Baiyan City, he rushed to the first time and personally treated the injuries of this brave minority general, which moved this brave and loyal man, probably because of that sense of identity.

After that, the Tang army ushered in the biggest tough battle of this battle, because what they were about to face was Anshi City, which was known in history as making Li Shimin sink into the sand, and Yang Wanchun, the famous hard-headed city lord, who did not mince words about Yuan Gai Suwen and made the other party helpless.

More importantly, when the Tang army arrived outside the city of Anshi, it really ran into the local army.

It seems that Goguryeo also understands that it is useless to have fewer reinforcements, and if Anshi City is broken again, the entire western front of Goguryeo will almost fall, and Goguryeo will be like a rich girl with a wide open door, and she can only let the Tang Dynasty spoil it at will.

So this time, the Goguryeo side fought hard, and the northern Gengsa Yanshou, Huizhen led Goguryeo, and the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty to 150,000 troops to save the city of An.

Yanshou led the army to a place forty miles away from Anshi City, and was eyeing the Tang army on the side.

In order not to make the Tang army fall into passivity, and to get the enemy to the preset battlefield in favor of their own side as much as possible, it is time for these Goguryeo people to see the right. What is the art of war, and it is time to give full play to the role of Li Ji, a new generation of military gods.

Li Ji ordered Ashina Sheer to lead a thousand Turkic cavalry to lure the enemy, they were superb in horsemanship and coquettish in their running, and they were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.

Ashina Sheer led his subordinates and pretended to retreat as soon as he engaged the enemy.

The Goguryeo army thought that there were few Tang soldiers and were really afraid, so they rushed forward and reached a place eight miles southeast of Anshi City, and lined up in the mountains.

Li Ji had already observed the situation of the mountains and rivers, and Lin Sen's xenomorph golden eagles were also helping to explore the terrain, and he had selected the places where the ambush soldiers could enter and exit early, and prepared to set up a pocket formation, so that the enemy army could feel the sourness of the ambush on all sides.

Li Ji ordered Niu Jinda to lead an army of 15,000 to set up a formation in Xiling, and Cheng Mingzhen to lead 11,000 elite soldiers as a surprise soldier to attack the enemy's rear from the narrow valley in the north of the mountain.

Li Ji personally led an army of 4,000, carrying drums and horns and banners, climbed the North Mountain, and ordered all armies to attack together when they heard the sound of drums and horns.

Yanshou saw the ox entering the Dabu formation, and the formation was going to fight. Li Ji knew that the time was almost up, so he directly ordered the drums to be beaten, the trumpets were sounded, the flags were raised, and the armies from all walks of life marched in unison.

Yanshou and the others knew that they had accidentally fallen into the encirclement, and in a panic, they wanted to divide their troops to resist.

On the Tang army's side, a burst of incendiary canisters went down, further disrupting the enemy's formation, and when they were a little overwhelmed, the Tang army began to charge.

If it weren't for the fact that the incendiary canisters brought were almost used, a little would have been left in case of emergency, and the group of grandsons would have been burned down a long time ago.

Lin Sen led his guards and cavalry, taking the lead, shouting together and rushing into the Goguryeo army formation, invincible and invincible.

Seeing the terrifying figure of Lin Sen and them riding a takin, the shouts of the panicked "demon gods" could be heard in the Goguryeo army from time to time, and more than thirty percent of the combat strength was frightened first.

The Tang army followed closely in the gap opened by Lin Sen, and once again the Goguryeo army was defeated by the gall, which was easy to kill, and finally the Tang army beheaded more than 20,000 people, and the real killing was countless.

Yanshou and others led the remaining army to consolidate themselves in the mountains. Li Ji ordered the troops to surround it. The bridge was removed, cutting off the return route of the Goguryeo army.

Yanshou and Hye-jin, who had no way to retreat, led the remaining remnants of the army to surrender helplessly. When entering the military gate of the Tang Dynasty, he could only walk forward on his knees and bow down and ask for his life.

It is impossible for Li Ji to pick some people to move to the mainland as Li Shimin did in history, and let the rest go casually.

Although he is the chief administrator with the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, he is not the emperor after all, and he has no choice but to kill or leave the prisoners.

He is such a smart person who will not do something out of the way because of a "general who will not be affected by the life of a foreign monarch", Hou Junji has just died not long ago.

When Li Ji ascended the throne as a new emperor, he could be regarded as walking on the edge of life and death, and he would definitely not make such a mistake.

After thinking about it, I decided to take these prisoners for the time being, and find a suitable place to draw a prison as a prison.

Just like the previous siege, let them have no escape, and they have to count on the supply of grain and grass from the Tang army, so that only a small part of the soldiers and horses need to be left to guard them, and the others can continue to attack Anshi City with peace of mind.

In this battle, 50,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, more than 10,000 iron armor, and a large number of other weapons were captured.

Hearing the news of the defeat of the reinforcements, the whole of Goguryeo was very shocked and frightened, it was a full 150,000 army, and Goguryeo could not mobilize such a large-scale army to rescue in a short period of time, so it was quite a bit of a sense that everyone was in danger.

The Goguryeo people of Houhuangcheng and Yincheng all abandoned the city and fled by themselves, and there was no human population for hundreds of miles.

But the most important target, the city of Anshi, which was about to be besieged, did not react, not only did the hope of the Tang army win without a fight come to naught, but it was also a bit of a fish to die and break the net.

It's just that the Tang army used the incendiary canister before it was too cool, such a thing itself is more dangerous, and the transportation is particularly difficult.

After getting accustomed to quickly capturing the enemy's city, it was undoubtedly very effective in improving the overall morale of the Tang army.

But because I haven't experienced any long-term battles before, when I really face a tug-of-war, I'm afraid that my patience is not enough, and my morale will be easily worn out.
