Half a month after the wedding, Li Su no longer went to Princess Narcissus for the night every day, and the princesses began to take turns to sleep again.

That night, Li Su was asleep, as if he heard someone crying. He woke up with a shock. He saw that it was someone crying.

He saw the begonias beside him with tears on his face, so he asked with concern: "Begonia, what's wrong with you?" ”

Haitang sobbed and said, "Your Highness, I had a dream that my father was surrounded by enemies in Goguryeo. He was covered in blood, as if he was crying out for help. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing also had some bad premonitions in his heart. However, he couldn't show this emotion in front of Begonia.

He gently wiped away his tears for Begonia and said with a smile: "Begonia, you don't have to worry. People's dreams are all reversed, his father and his old man are the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army he led is an elite army.

He has been through a hundred battles and has been surrounded by enemies at one time. But when did he ask someone for help? ”

Li Su's words are very reasonable. In the army of the Tang Dynasty, if Li Jing is the first wise general, then Hou Junji is the first fierce general of the Tang Army.

When fighting the enemy, although Hou Junji is not lacking in resourcefulness, he is good at grasping the fighters on the battlefield, and relies more on the brave rush on the battlefield to achieve victory.

After listening to Li Su's words, Haitang felt much better. She put her pretty face on Li Su's chest and said gratefully, "Your Highness, you are so good." ”

Li Yan smiled: "Come, good baby, fragrant one." ”

Haitang said shyly: "Your Highness, it's ...... today You're amazing, too. ”

Hou Junji is the god of war, and he was born for war. He is a prince of the country, and he is also the official of the Tang Dynasty, and the actual deputy prime minister. There was absolutely no need for him to do what an ordinary general would do, to venture into the battlefield.

However, as soon as he heard about the war, his blood boiled. There's no way, that's his character.

The long-distance sea march tossed the Han duck Hou Junji enough. If Hou Junji is a tiger on land, then at sea, he is really a sick cat.

But people are really adaptable. At the beginning, Hou Junji didn't eat well and didn't sleep well. Later, even if the wind and waves were strong, he was really able to fall asleep.

Early that morning, Wang Baosheng, the general of the navy, came to knock on Hou Junji's cabin door. He said, "Chen Guogong, Goguryeo has arrived. ”

Sleeping very lightly is a habit that Hou Junji has developed in his long career in battle. He woke up immediately. He walked out of the hatch, came to the deck, picked up the binoculars, and looked in the direction of Wang Baosheng's finger. I saw a gray continent appear in front of me!

Hou Junji's spirit was greatly lifted. He smiled and said, "Goguryeo, grandpa, I'm here!" ”

Arriving at the mouth of the Daedong River in Goguryeo, Hou Junji sent a division of troops to land at Hot Springs. He led the main force and went straight to the Nampo Pier.

Located in the lower reaches of the Daedong River, Nampo Fortress is the third largest city in Goguryeo, an important material distribution center, and one of the main supply bases of the Goguryeo army.

The Tang army traced the Datong River up the river, completely ignoring the Goguryeo generals and defense troops encountered along the way.

The Goguryeo people did not expect the Tang army to suddenly appear here. Although Nampo is a well-fortified city, the dock is the only place where they do not have a city wall.

After the landing of the Tang army, they rushed directly from the pier into the city of Nanpu.

There were only more than 10,000 defenders in Nanpu City, and they were caught off guard, and the Tang army successfully entered the city.

However, the Goguryeo people were unusually tenacious. They were in Nanpu City and engaged in street battles with the Tang Army. Many Goguryeo people also joined the ranks of resisting the Tang army.

Before entering the city, Hou Junji also announced the discipline of the Tang army. However, the officers and men of the Tang Army could not tell which were the enemy and which were the good people.

Those who were dressed in the clothes of the common people were still smiling when they saw the Tang army passing by with their front feet, and in the blink of an eye, they launched a sneak attack from behind the Tang army. Many Tang officers and soldiers died in such sneak attacks.

Later, the situation became unmanageable. The Tang army had no choice but to kill people on sight, and finally turned into a massacre.

The battle was fierce, and it was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that the Tang army completely controlled the whole city of Nanpu. More than 40,000 of the 80,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed by the Tang army.

Naval warfare has always been a loss-making business. The army can go ashore and make a fortune, but the navy can only do the job.

Therefore, when the navy transports the army, the generals of the navy generally have to discuss with the generals of the army in advance. After the army has captured the enemy's city, the navy is allowed to loot.

Wang Baosheng led the officers and men of the navy to not only rob a large amount of property. He also took away more than 500 good-looking young Goguryeo women, and then returned to the ship satisfied.

Early the next morning, the enraged Goguryeo gathered more than 20,000 people to counterattack Nampo City.

After receiving the report, Hou Junji personally came to the city tower to watch. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Goguryeo people who came to attack the city.

It can be seen from the costumes of the Goguryeo people that among them, the main force of Goguryeo was only a few thousand people. Most of the others are local armed forces similar to those of the militia Xiangyong, and the weapons are also varied.

The actions of the Goguryeo people were completely blind. On the one hand, they were outraged by the actions of the Tang Army. On the other hand, they also did not understand the true strength of the Tang Army.

Hou Junji quickly figured out the situation, and he decided to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

He pretended that his troops were insufficient, and placed a small number of troops at the head of the city, even if he repelled the enemy's attack, he could not hold out, attracting the enemy to continue the siege. At the same time, he sent two cavalry divisions, which went out from the south and north gates, respectively, to outflank Goguryeo's army.

Although the Goguryeo people were poorly equipped, they were driven by anger and desperately attacked the city, suffering heavy casualties.

At half past ten in the morning, in the rear of the Goguryeo army, a contingent of the Tang army suddenly appeared. This was the Tang army, which was in charge of outflanking, and had formed a siege against the Goguryeo army.

Hou Junji ordered the city gate to be opened and led the Tang army to rush out. After a morning of siege battles, the Goguryeo people were left with less than 15,000 men. Under the siege of the elite troops of the 40,000 Tang Army, they were slaughtered in less than two hours.

In the Goguryeo army, thousands of people also surrendered, however, the Tang army fought overseas and had no rear. They didn't have as much food to feed the prisoners of war, and they didn't have the manpower and energy to take care of them. So they had to be slaughtered.

Nampo was an important supply base for the Goguryeo army, and a large amount of military supplies were hoarded in it. For Hou Junji, as long as he set fire to the military supplies here, he had already achieved the goal of this campaign.

He could have led the Tang army to withdraw to the sea, march west from the sea, and join the main force of the Tang army.

However, this kind of combat method is not something that Hou Junji can accept.
