After Li Yu handed over the operation of the canning factory to her before the expedition, he transferred his powerful subordinates from Yanwang one after another to preside over the construction of the canning mill and salmon fishing in the Ussuri River, Heishui, and the south coast of the Liaodong Peninsula where there was a large-scale migration of salmon.

After a month of meticulous preparations, the canning factories set up in the three places began to catch salmon to produce canned fish, and the first batch of 1,000 cans of canned fish filled with 20 catties per filling was shipped to Pyongyang.

Xin'er took Ling'er, Mei'er and a group of young ladies from the secretariat to sample and inspect the first batch of canned fish produced, and asked the chefs in the palace dining room to taste it to see if the taste met the requirements and whether there was any possibility of spoilage.

After two days of sampling and inspection, except for the slightly worse taste, the meat quality of the canned fish was well preserved, and the people who tried it did not feel unwell.

As for the bad taste of canned fish, it is not impossible for soldiers to put it in a pot and process it again when they eat it, add some seasonings or cook soup, and make it to their favorite taste.

Considering that he had been fighting on the front line for several months, and that some of the livestock brought by the whole army when he went out to fight were eaten, he relied on some pigs, cattle and sheep looted in Silla to improve his food, for more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, it was certainly not enough to loot meat alone.

Since there was no problem with the 1,000 cans of fish, Xin'er immediately issued an order ordering the Metropolitan Protectorate to dispatch manpower to transport the canned fish to the front line.

A thousand cans are only 20,000 catties, and they are not even half a catty in each soldier's mouth, and it is only enough for one meal. Xin'er had to ask the canning mills in the three places to speed up the production of canned fish.

During the period when Li Yu led the army to rest in Guoyuan City, Xue Ne led his army to capture the two counties of Naiyu and Naicheng in the upper reaches of the Hanshan River, and Zhang Shi led the army to break through Huaiyang County in the southwest of Guoyuan City, as an outpost of the army, and opened up a passage over the Xiaobai Mountains into the boundary of Shangzhou. Since then, the entire Silla counties in the Hansan River (later known as the Han River in Korea) basin have been in the hands of Yi Yu.

Hei Zhi Changzhi broke through the two counties of Garo and Yiyan, and the troops went to Hesselo City to meet the reinforcements of Silla in the north.

The two sides fought outside the city for three days, and clashed no less than ten times, the Tang army won nine victories and lost three, and killed more than 3,700 Silla troops at the cost of more than 500 killed.

Although the Tang army won many victories and lost few defeats, Hei Yan Changzhi failed to completely defeat Da Ayaqi, and he was full of worries for a while and thought about a good way to break the enemy.

Da Yaqi led his army back to the city of Hethro and held out for a while. After three days of fighting with the Tang army, he saw the fierce combat effectiveness of the Tang army, and the courage and resourcefulness of the black teeth, which led to heavy casualties among the officers and men under his command, and made Da Yaqi's weathered face full of sorrow all day long.

The county order of Hexero proposed, "At present, the three counties of Qichuan, Yangkou and Zhuzu, which are located in the northwest inland of the Tang Army, have not yet been captured by them, and the defenders of the three counties can still organize a force of 5,000 soldiers and horses by recruiting young and strong." The general was ordered by the Tang Army of the Great King to the North, and did not follow the order of the three county guards to join forces to go east and cut off the back road of the Tang Army. ”

Da Ya's sad face was relieved, and he said with a smile: "This is a good idea, the soldiers and horses of the three counties cut off the back road of the Tang army, the heart of the Tang army will inevitably be shaken, and the black tooth Changzhi will either divide the troops or retreat, no matter how he chooses, it will be a great benefit to our army." ”

"However, the soldiers of the three counties need to send a general to be effective, otherwise they will delay the military plane."

Ah Tianxun stood up and said: "General, the last general is willing to go to command the soldiers and horses of the three counties." ”

Da Ah Ya nodded and agreed to Ah Tianxun's request, and among the generals under his command, he could be entrusted with a heavy responsibility after a hundred battles.

Sent Ah Tianxun to command the soldiers and horses of the three counties, and before successfully cutting off the back road of the Tang army, Da Ah Yaqi had been strengthening the city defense and waiting for news, and in the face of repeated provocations by the Tang army, he would not come out.

The soldiers and horses led by the Black Tooth Changzhi did not carry heavy siege equipment, and the fire oil bombs carried during the Eastern Expedition were also used up, so there was no good way to face the heavily defended Hethro City of Da Yaqi for a while. A strong attack will inevitably lead to a lot of casualties among the soldiers, which is inadmissible in the opinion of the black tooth Changzhi, and once the army suffers too many casualties, it will be weak to continue south along the east coast of Silla.

The two armies were in a stalemate under the city for nearly half a month, and the black tooth Changzhi received the news from the sentry cavalry that the three counties of Silla, Yangkou, and Pigzu suddenly assembled, with a force of about 5,000, and with the help of the local Silla people, they attacked the Yiyan County in the rear of our army.

Qu Tu Zhongxiang, Li Yexu and other generals were shocked, Yiyan County was the rear road of the army, cut off by the Silla army, which was equivalent to being caught between the north and south of the enemy, and if it was not enough, the whole army might be annihilated here.

The generals' anxious expressions, the black teeth Changzhi saw it in his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "This is just a small plan for Da Ya to disturb the hearts of our army, why do you want to do it?" ”

"Our army is surrounded by the Silla army, does the general have a good way to break the siege?"

"There is no good way to break the siege, but there is a way to destroy the enemy."

When the generals heard this, they were a little surprised, seeing that General Heizhi was confident, and he had not been worried about the situation of being surrounded, it seemed that General Heizhi had already made up his mind in his heart. It's just that the generals are a little confused about how this policy should work.

The Black Tooth Changzhi smiled, didn't say it explicitly, and muttered: "Presumably, the great Ah Ya Qi in Hethro City has been waiting for the army to wait for the end, right?" Our army gave him a chance to get out of the city. ”

Without waiting for the generals to ask, Heiya Chang ordered that except for the Jiaolong Army, Qu Tu Zhongxiang, who stayed in the camp, the rest of the armies returned north to exterminate the Silla Army entrenched in Yiyan County.

Before leaving, the Black Tooth Changzhi told Qu Tu Zhongxiang that the Silla army was coming to attack, and he must stick to the camp until he led the army back.

Qu Tu Zhongxiang repeatedly assured, "We will live up to the general's trust, people are in the camp, and if the camp is lost, people will die." ”

Wen Heiya Changzhi personally led the army back north to attack the soldiers of the three counties of Ah Tianxun, who had occupied Yiyan County, and only less than 3,000 Jiaolong troops remained in the camp. Da Ah Ya got up to shoot the case, gathered the generals, ordered the soldiers and horses, and waited for the Tang army to go north for two days, except for the 1,000 troops to defend the city, the whole army was exhausted.

Fortunately, in the past half a month, the king sent two more support armies to make up for the previous battle losses, and the number of soldiers and horses increased to more than 13,000.

Qu Tu Zhongxiang is the founder of the Tang Dynasty after Qu Tutong, although his talent is not as good as his grandfather, but he is not mediocre. In the past two days, the whole army was organized to raise a trench outside the camp, cut down large trees to strengthen the camp, and made a fence to surround the camp, so that the attacking Silla army could not let go of its hands and feet, and repeated strong attacks could not break through the wall of the Tang army.

After losing more than 1,000 troops and not advancing, Da Ah Ya was so angry that he beheaded the generals who led the attack, and ordered the collection of dry firewood piles in the Tang army camp for a fire attack.

However, the walls and fences built by the Tang army were all freshly cut wet wood, which could not be ignited.

The fire attack failed, and Da Ya Qi took smoke again, collected a lot of grass and piled it up in several large piles in the upwind direction of the southwest of the Tang army camp, and also added dung to Linan, and made a smell that made people vomit, and the thick smoke with a strong fishy smell blew towards the Tang army camp with the help of the southwest wind.

In the camp, the soldiers of the Jiaolong Army were so smoked by the smelly smoke that they couldn't open their eyes, and many soldiers were even sickened.

"Even the stinky smoke wants to defeat my Jiaolong Army?" Qu Tu Zhongxiang was calm and self-promised, and ordered all the officers and men of the army to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels, and try not to open their eyes wide when their eyes were wet.

At this moment, the northeast wind blew up, and the thick smoke that shrouded the Tang army camp was blown back in an instant, and the Silla army arrayed outside was suddenly coughed and vomited by the fishy smell and thick smoke made by itself, and could not open their eyes.

The Silla army's formation was in chaos, Qu Tu Zhongxiang seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, stepped on his war horse and waved his army out of the camp, and the Silla army was defeated and fled.

When Da Ah Ya heard that his army was defeated, he was shocked and hurriedly dispatched a large army to help.

Qu Tu Zhongxiang knew that his own troops were not the opponents of the Silla army, so he accepted it when he saw it, and returned to the camp with the head of the Silla army that he had beheaded, and once again became a turtle with a shrunken head.
