In the first battle of Da'ansan Valley, 18,000 Tang troops annihilated 26,000 troops of Goguryeo and Silla. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, more than 3,700 Goguryeo and Silla were captured, and a total of 18,000 heads of the coalition army were captured, achieving a great victory.

The only regret is that the commanders of the Goguryeo and Silla armies escaped.

1,700 people were killed in the army under Li Yu, and more than 1,000 were killed during the siege of the Silla army.

Xuanwuwei suffered heavy casualties, was half-crippled in the first battle, and the main general Wang Hu was seriously injured and almost lost his life. After the war, Cheng Boxian, the chief general of Xuanwu Wei and Qinglongwei advocated killing Silla captives to avenge the death of more than 1,000 soldiers.

In the end, under the opposition of Chen Xuan, Li Yesi and others, Li Yu only executed dozens of brave men in the Silla army who killed and injured the Tang army the most in order to appease the anger of the two guards in order to maximize the value of the use of the prisoners and avoid the death of the Silla Goryeo army due to the killing of prisoners in the future.

The commander of the Silla army escaped, and there were still 10,000 allied troops in the city of Bones. After Li Yu consulted with the generals, in order not to give the Wugu defenders a chance to improve the city defense, Li Yu appointed Xue Ne as the main general, Li Shangdan as the deputy general, and commanded a total of 6,000 people in Yanyun Iron Cavalry Left Guard and White Tiger Guard, and set out early in the morning of the second day to capture the Black Bone City.

Li Yu led the rest of the army back to Anshi for repairs, and at the same time, the arrangement of prisoners increased to more than 7,200 people was also a big problem.

It is also urgent to develop the rich iron ore resources in eastern Liaodong.

The expansion of the army, the demand for weapons and armor is tight, and the output of the ordnance workshop hidden in the Yanshan Mountain in Youzhou alone cannot meet the demand. If we can't build a new armory workshop to produce ordnance in large quantities, most of the army that will expand in the future will only be able to carry a weapon and wear a battle uniform to the battlefield.

The replenishment and reward of the soldiers of the various armies after the war is also a great problem, the first promised land, Li Yu now only controls the surrounding area of Anshi, and the other regions have not yet sent anyone to inform him of the arrival of the new Andong Metropolitan Protector.

Regarding the account books of the common people in the Andong area under the control of the Andong Prefecture, except for the household department of Chang'an, it is Pyongyang.

Before the capture of Pyongyang, Li Yu only learned from the household department that after the fall of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty had taken over more than 3 million people in the Andong area, and the household registration of acres and acres was even more unclear.

After returning to Anshi, Li Yu sent Cui Xuan to return to Youzhou in order to prepare for the demolition of various workshops in Liaodong in several batches after the more than 3,000 guards and servants brought to Anshi by his major commercial houses in the name of doing business in the past few days.

At the same time, he handed Cui Xuan a letter to the governor of the palace, Shi Li Element, and a document to report to the imperial court.

The immortal Sha Yan ran wildly for two days and one night with dozens of remnants of cavalry, and finally rushed back to the Black Bone City in the early morning of the third day.

The soldiers defending the city saw that there were only dozens of horsemen around their commander, and they all looked decadent and embarrassed, both on their faces and on their armor, there were dried blood stains, and the 20,000 troops led by the Silla Goguryeo coalition army to attack An'an City did not follow back.

Seeing this, the generals were greatly panicked, and they thought that General Sha's attack on Anshi was almost completely annihilated, and he returned alone.

The Goryeo army defending the city did not see its own generals such as General Gao, and even a single Goryeo soldier could not escape back, so they panicked even more, and rumors suddenly spread in the city.

It was rumored in the Goryeo army that the Silla people on the battlefield let the Goryeo people go to the front to die, and they were ambushed by the Tang army, resulting in more than 14,000 Goryeo soldiers being surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army.

The Silla army even heard the details from the people who had escaped, and somehow it completely changed in the process of spreading.

Some people say that the Tang army sent 50,000 troops to ambush the coalition army in the Da'an Mountain Valley, so that the whole army was annihilated; Some people say that there are 100,000 Tang troops, all over the mountains, and 30,000 fine tax cavalry, who are chasing General Sha and are about to come to the city.

The rumors became more and more outrageous, causing the whole city to be startled for a while, and a flock of birds in the woods outside the city could frighten the defenders.

"Smack."

"Who spread the news of the ambush of our army?" In the early morning, Sha Lu, who had just returned to the black bones, was exhausted and slept for less than two hours, when he was woken up by rumors among the soldiers outside the house.

As a general who has been on the battlefield for decades, he knows that if the rumors are not controlled after the defeat of the army and allowed to spread at will, even if it is just a small defeat, the rumors can be spread into a big defeat. In order to disintegrate the morale of the army, there is no need to fight the rest of the battle, the morale of the army is dispersed by rumors, and before the battle starts on the battlefield, the soldiers of their own side will be divided into seven points.

Only a few dozen of the 6,000 Silla troops he led returned, and the Goryeo army was even more surrounded in the valley, and it is estimated that the number of people who could escape would not exceed hundreds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire army was annihilated in this battle.

But Sha Lu still wants to fight another battle with the Tang army, and the Tang army is invincible in the field, so I will fight a city defense battle with him.

The Black Bone City was once a military town of Goguryeo in the eastern part of Liaodong, and although it is now somewhat dilapidated, it is not much of a problem for 10,000 people to hold on to it under the urgent repair.

If the Tang army wants to capture the black bones, it can only win by encircling ten times the siege of the siege, and the Tang army must dispatch at least 50,000 troops before it can do so.

Asking the king for help will definitely stop the Tang army from being under the Black Bone City, and will also realize the king's intention to seize southern Goguryeo and Baekje, and will also reduce the responsibility for the destruction of his entire army.

I didn't know that it had only been a few hours since I came back, and rumors in the army had spread to the guards outside my room, and the number of Tang troops was exaggerated to 100,000, 30,000 cavalry, and they were about to attack the city.

It is even more terrible to take a look at the military camp in the city, the army in the city has no fighting spirit, the people are panicked, and there are not a few people who flee for their lives with the soft and soft. There are also generals who report that many Goryeo soldiers are missing, and it goes without saying that rumors must have made these guys escape.

This made Sha Lu angry, and the army's heart was like this, how to defend the city. The dozens of people who fled with him and the rest of the city will be called to a scolding blow.

"General, when you came back, many soldiers defending the city saw it, and they could guess what the situation was." One of the generals whispered.

"Guessed? Do you generals just let your soldiers spread rumors at will? There are still 100,000 Tang troops and 30,000 cavalry, there are really so many, can General Ben come back? ”

Sha Yu gasped, his tired and bloodshot eyes widened, and his right hand trembled and waved the generals to reprimand: "There are still tens of thousands of Tang troops coming to the city, why hasn't General Ben found out that there is a Tang army behind him in the past few days?" ”

The generals lowered their heads and remained silent, enduring Sha Lu's scolding, and some of the generals who were originally left by Sha Lu to defend the city were even more resentful.

You have lost the battle yourself, and the whole army has been wiped out, and the soldiers in the city are afraid to spread a rumor? Even if you were to be defeated and not wiped out, the soldiers in the city would not be so afraid. Now there are only 10,000 defenders in the city, and 3,000 people are still a group of Goguryeo rebels who have made a temporary disturbance, and these Goryeo people don't know how many escaped. Now it would be good to have 6,000 soldiers in the city who can fight, and the main generals of the 3,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers have not been able to come back, and now it is a question of whether they will listen to our Silla people.

It's all at this juncture, and you still want to defend the city? Lessen the blame for their own defeat? It's naïve and ridiculous!
