After capturing the city of Guoyuan and clearing the remnants of the enemy, Li Yu entered the city gate cave at the east gate to carefully observe the effect of the explosion of a hundred explosive packets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that the wall in the city gate cave after the explosion of the explosive bag appeared a crack that could be inserted into the index finger, just like the dense cracks on the ceramics produced by the Jun kiln in the Song Dynasty, but it was not so elegant, more precisely, it looked like an old wall with a phoenix candle in its last years.

Li Yu was a little disappointed that a hundred and twenty pounds of explosives could not blow up the city tower, it was a full 2,000 catties of gunpowder, could it be that he had to learn from the Taiping Army to make a coffin and compact the gunpowder inside?

It wasn't until a month later that the east gate tower of Guoyuan City collapsed, but Li Yu didn't have the heart to do it at that time.

The generals saw the power of the explosives bag to smash the city gate, and praised the good of the explosive bag with a smile, and they were no longer afraid of those tall and strong cities in the future. The city gate was opened, the army entered, and the city wall was built strongly. Can the city gates be broken?

Li Yu, who had actually observed the power of the explosives pack, was not as happy as the generals for the new siege weapon, but returned to the Chinese army's tent with some depression.

As for living in the city? Not to mention Li Yu, the soldiers of the whole army don't have that idea.

Kunihara Castle is no longer able to stay, because in the past three days of siege, a total of more than 200 fire oil has been projected into the city, and the fire in the city has not been extinguished until now, and more than half of the buildings have been destroyed by the fire. In addition to the corpses of the Silla army who were beheaded, there were tens of thousands of burned corpses of civilians in the city, and the corpses were not collected, which was like a hell.

As for cleanup? Li Yu didn't have the leisure to make the soldiers spend time and effort to do it.

After the Tang army that invaded the city cleared out the remnants of the enemy, because Li Yu did not issue any order to prohibit looting, he dug three feet into the ground in the unburned area of the city to collect the property according to the previous practice, and found that the beautiful woman was directly forced into the barracks by the soldiers to do the primitive movement.

After all, the fierce war needs to relieve the pressure on the soldiers! Anyway, it is not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the scourge is not the same race, and the Tang army does not practice martial arts, so there is no psychological burden to do this. If this is placed in the country, no one will dare to blatantly harm the people unless the Lord will connive at it. After all, once the pursuit is started, the head will be cut off.

As for those Silla troops who made great efforts during the siege of the city, they could only watch the Tang army finish grabbing it before they could grab it again, and they could only eat leftovers, although they were angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it openly.

Because those who dared to be angry with the Tang army were ordered by Li Yu to nail their hands and feet to the stake to show the public, and they did not die painfully until three days later, which had an extremely strong psychological deterrent for the other Silla surrendering troops.

This method was the method of dealing with the rebels in ancient Rome, which was learned by Li Yu, and even Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was crucified and died a tragic death by this method.

Another sentinel came to report that the 30,000 reinforcements of Silla had reached the valley sixty miles south of the fortress of Kokuwon, and Li Yu summoned the generals to discuss the countermeasures.

At this time, Zhang Shi had already carried the head of the Great Archer River back to the camp with the head of the National Plains Castle Guard, and half-knelt in front of Li Yu and raised the head of the Great Archer River with both hands.

The bloody and terrifying head Li Yu thought it was not strange, although his physical age was only fifteen years old, and he had never seen a dead person in his more than 20 years of life in his previous life, but in this early Tang Dynasty era when he was expanding his territory and fighting foreign wars, he had long cultivated the heart of not being surprised by changes and treating people's stumps and broken limbs like cattle and sheep.

The head of the Great Archer River was brought down and preserved with lime, and Li Yu needed the heads of these Silla generals who had been beheaded by his subordinates to deter the Silla people after the attack on Jincheng.

When rewarding meritorious deeds, Zhang Shi led the army into the city after the city was broken, assisted the rest of the armies to break through the other three gates, pursued the Kuniwon city defender Da Archer Chuan and beheaded him outside the city, and annihilated more than 800 Silla cavalry, and the right guard of Yanyun Iron Cavalry won more than 4,000 before and after.

After the comprehensive evaluation, Li Yu rated Zhang Shi as the first meritorious general in the battle of Guoyuan City, with a reward of 300 taels, and the right guard of Yanyun Iron Cavalry was also rewarded, and the rest of the soldiers who participated in the siege of the city were rewarded in addition to those who made meritorious contributions, and the rest were rewarded for the looting in the city, and no additional rewards were given.

The Silla reinforcements were coming, and the distance was only sixty miles, less than two days' journey, and although the Silla army was on the road to the city of Guowon, it was not the time for Li Yu to set up an ambush. What's more, Kim Yushin is also a veteran of the battlefield who has been through a hundred battles, although he and the Tang army jointly attacked Baekje and Goguryeo a few years ago, and he did not have a remarkable record. In Li Yu's view, this was just an old trick of Silla to delay and sit on the wall and watch, trying to take advantage of the Tang army's defeat with Baekje and Goguryeo, so that the fisherman could benefit.

After deliberation, at this time, Buyi went to engage the Silla army in a valley between the high mountains and dense forests, and the narrow valley was not conducive to giving full play to the superiority of his cavalry.

Li Yeji proposed that elite infantry soldiers who were good at fighting in the mountains and forests could be sent to attack and disturb the Silla army's advance and exhaust its morale, while the army would wait for work under the fortress of Kuniwon. When the Silla army marched to Guwon Fortress, another army crossed the mountain ridge and built a camp on the mountain road behind it to cut off its way back, which was sure to shake the morale of the army.

Li Yu praised this plan very well, so he ordered Li Yeji to select thousands of sharp soldiers from the army, all of whom were equipped with good bows and crossbows and light leather armor, and the Qilin Wei Xuan, who was born in Orion, was led by Chengzhi and set up an ambush in the mountain road where the Silla army was advancing. When the Silla army entered the ambush circle, the Tang army fired them with bows and crossbows on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road, and when the Silla army wanted to charge and kill, they retreated and did not engage in close combat.

Jin Yuxin was ordered to lead 30,000 troops to aid the original city of the country, and hurried all the way, but learned bad news on the way.

The remnants of the cavalry of the Great Archer River, who fled from the fortress and escaped Zhang Shi's pursuit, encountered Jin Yuxin's reinforcements on the Nanben Road, and destroyed the castle, and the defender of the Great Archer River was told of the beheading of a fierce Tang general.

Knowing that the Tang army had 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, the rebel generals Ah Fan Datu, Sha Yan, and Park Zhengwen led the Silla army that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to become the vanguard of the Tang army's attack on Silla, Jin Yuxin almost fell to the ground from his horse with black eyes.

At this moment, the forward was ambushed by the Tang troops in the mountains and forests on both sides in the advancing valley, and the news came that more than 500 people were killed and wounded.

Guoyuan City is broken, and our army is a deep lone army, with no soldiers to help within a radius of hundreds of miles, and continuing to advance to Guoyuan City will also become a tired army, and it will definitely be defeated by the Tang cavalry raid. Jin Yuxin, who was more than half a hundred years old, hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to Shangzhou and sent an envoy to Jincheng to report to the king.

The 30,000 Silla army was still thirty miles away from Guowon City, so they rushed to the circuit, which made Li Yu, who was waiting in the plains west of Guowon City, feel stunned when he got the report from the sentry horse, "Could it be that I have raised Jin Yuxin, and he is really just a straw bag?" ”

The generals laughed, Jin Yuxin was frightened by our army's fierce record, and fled in a hurry, please do you want to pursue?

Li Yu waved his hand, our army is not familiar with the terrain of the Xiaobai Mountains, the two armies are more than thirty miles apart, and if they chase after it at this time, it is easy to be killed by the Silla army who is familiar with the terrain. After the army rested for three days, the sentry cavalry explored the mountain road in the Xiaobai Mountains before heading south.

When Yu Chengzhiguan, who led a thousand sharp soldiers to ambush the Silla army, hurriedly retreated, he led his subordinates to pursue for a while, and then killed more than 300, and only retreated when the Silla striker stopped to counterattack and no longer pursued.
