Chapter 313: The Eastern Crusade

It's just that the siege of the city encountered difficulties, which is the same as the original situation in history. It's just that the people around Li Er now are not those veterans, whether it is Xi Junmai or Xue Rengui, both of them know a lot about firearms, not to mention that there are many Li Hao's students in the army.

After besieging that city for three days, Xue Rengui found Li Er and suggested using gunpowder. Li Er was also very unhappy at this time, especially the Goguryeo people on the city wall who even mocked Li Er for being incompetent, plus the Jingguan he saw before he came. So he wanted to break the city immediately and do anything.

"Exactly! After the city is broken, there is no need to seal the knife! This is the first time Li Er has been so angry, and it is useless for anyone to persuade him. In fact, the army of the Tang Dynasty was holding its breath at this time, and Lao Yang's army was also from Guanzhong, so maybe there were their respective relatives in it.

However, if it weren't for Lao Yang's resignation due to civil strife, the little Goguryeo would have been wiped out long ago. Now these people even dare to kill the captured soldiers and make Jingguan, no one can bear this kind of thing! I can't bear it anymore, and the blood debt will have to be paid with blood!

"Fuck off! Tang people, our Goguryeo army is invincible in the world! Lao Yang was defeated, and Li Er was also defeated. The Goguryeo people would certainly not say that, but that's pretty much what it means. In short, it is extremely ridiculous, anyway, the Tang people can't break through the city wall.

Xue Rengui's face became more and more cold after hearing this, these people can't complain about others when they find their own death. I really thought that my city wall was powerful, and if it weren't for the lack of siege tools for the army, the Tang army would have broken it a long time ago.

Now, you don't need siege tools, and you can break this small city. He instructed his men to split up and attack the walls of Goguryeo one by one, and the explosives had already been prepared. Xue Rengui didn't know, if it weren't for Li Er's lack of interest in these things, they actually had a tool to use.

Just use artillery to bombard the city wall from afar, and after a few rounds, the city wall has already been broken. The artillery Li Hao actually prepared for them, and there were some on the big ships that accompanied him. It's just that Li Er has never been very optimistic about this thing, and he hasn't thought about using these things, so it's useless to keep it there.

But now with bombs, the effect is actually about the same. But with explosives, people have to go against the walls. You'll have to find a place to put the explosives to detonate it, otherwise it won't work.

"Are these Tang people going to dig tunnels?" Then Tang Jun's behavior became weird, and the people on the city wall felt very strange, but they couldn't think of what the problem was for a while. Watch as those soldiers are busy at the foot of the city walls under multiple protections.

This is certainly not a siege, because there are so few men. With such a few people, the people on the city wall can't do anything for a while. Shot with an arrow, it was blocked. If you hit it with a stone, people can dodge, and there are few people below, so it has no effect at all.

"Let them dig tunnels, our side has been ready for a long time, waiting for them to die." There are many civilizations in the Central Plains, and there are a lot of stealing teachers here. They are not low in experience in defending and besieging cities, and there are many ways to prevent such things as digging tunnels.

This is a people who are good at stealing technology, and they are also good at hiding themselves. In the art of war in the East for thousands of years, they have learned a lot, and they will always deal a fatal blow to the East side when it is weak.

It's just that what these people didn't expect was that the Tang army was not digging tunnels under the city walls. They just tossed around and then quickly ran away, and although the people on the city wall felt uneasy, they never knew where the uneasiness came from.

At this moment, a loud noise sounded, the ground shook, and the walls on both sides collapsed in an instant. The people on the walls were all buried or shocked to death, and at this moment they knew where the uneasiness came from, and what they were guarding might not be good.

"This thing is so powerful?" Also shocked were Li Er and Changsun Wuji, both of whom were typical people who didn't approve of bombs. When those things come out alone, the power is actually average. But now, they don't know what to say.

The city wall in front of me is much weaker than the city wall of Chang'an, but the city wall was broken in just an instant, if Chang'an City is connected several times, even if it is tall, it will be blown up, right?

"In the future, the pattern of war will change, and it will be the world of their young people." Li Er's power of the bomb will not be banned because it is too strong, of course, the necessary blockade is still required, this thing can only be officially owned by the Tang Dynasty, and it will be troublesome if it falls into the hands of others.

Li Er said that if he doesn't seal the knife, he won't seal the knife, but most of his military grassroots are now students who graduated from military academies. These young people have their own ideas about something, they don't mess around because they don't seal the sword, in general, this is an army that already has a little faith.

Therefore, all the Goguryeo nobles and officials in the entire city were slaughtered, as were the ordinary people who dared to resist. These people, whether good or evil, belong to the mortal killing. And those women and children, as well as ordinary people who honestly stay at home, are not within the scope of their unsealed knives.

After breaking the city, the ensuing battle became unstoppable again. Whether it was a siege or a field battle, the Tang army went all the way, except for disarming and surrendering, and did not accept any words, which was Li Er's will.

Xi Junmai on the Eastern Front also knew about Jingguan at this time, and became more and more unhappy with Goguryeo and the entire eastern region. He was originally the kind of person who was more aggressive, and with his identity as a Guanzhong person, his mood can be imagined.

After landing from the coast, the kindness of the entire Goguryeo, whether it is a large or small tribe or a tribe pro-Tang Dynasty, will not be accepted. The Tang army only accepted surrender, or it would break the city. That Jingguan stimulated the nerves of all Tang soldiers, and no one could bear such humiliation.

There is no possibility of maneuvering this, and the Queen of Silla didn't even have time to resist, and the entire Silla was bought and taken by Xi Jun. Then all the women of the royal family were caught and sent to Li Er. This Li Hao explained to him when he returned to Chang'an from Fusang, whether it was the tribe or the country here, he didn't leave any of them.

But the queen of Silla must stay and not kill. There is an allusion in this, Li Hao is not sure if it is true or not, so he suggested that Xi Junmai do it. It seems that the queen of Silla sent a letter to Li Er and volunteered to recommend a seat to Li Er, but because there were citizens there, she couldn't go to Chang'an to serve. Li Er seems to have a good impression of this woman, and this guy also has a hobby of sleeping with surrendered women.

Whether it's true or not, it's best to listen first, and don't try to doubt it. Moreover, people like Li Er already have a hobby in this area, and this kind of thing is sent over, which is also a merit for Xi Junmai.

As for whether Li Er will buy a hand on Xi Jun in the future because of the pillow wind, no one can say this matter. That's later, do what is in front of you first. Li Er's harem is big, and it will take time for Queen Silla to stand out.

After destroying Silla, Xi Junmai went all the way west, and at this time, the largest countries here, in addition to Silla, also had Baekje. If Xi Junmai wants to join Li Er, he will have to sweep Baekje, and Baekje has a good relationship with Goguryeo, and it is an object that must be eliminated.

However, Baekje is not Goguryeo, and their strength is much worse. After September, the three armies converged under the Goguryeo royal fortress, and at this time, the entire country and tribe on the peninsula were wiped out, and the queen of Silla was sent to Yi Er.

Goguryeo's goal of relying on Wangcheng to fight a protracted war with the Tang Dynasty was not achieved, and as long as it lasted until winter, because of the cold weather, the Tang army would naturally retreat without a fight. But no matter how strong they built the royal city, they couldn't even stop the attack of the Tang army for a day.

After the Tang army used the bomb, the Tang army just blew up the city wall, and the entire Goguryeo collapsed. Under the attack of the Tang Army's near-miraculous weapon, not many people still had the will to fight. Gay Suvin committed suicide, and none of his family ran away.

At the beginning of October of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Erzheng of the Tang Dynasty returned with a great victory in Goguryeo. This battle not only destroyed Goguryeo, but also connected and swept away Baekje and Silla, as well as other tribes that were attached to Goguryeo. The entire peninsula area is planned under the territory of Datang, adding a new road to Datang, Northeast Road.

The entire territory of Goguryeo, including Baekje and Silla, included the three eastern provinces and the Goryeo Peninsula in later generations. Xue Rengui stayed here, while Xi Junmai returned to Fusang by boat after the victory, and his station was in Fusang.

After returning to the Eastern Expedition, Li Er's prestige reached its peak at this time. A place that was not conquered by the three previous dynasties, Li Er fought after the battle, and many of the bones of the soldiers who died in Liaodong were recovered and buried in the Taoist Heroic Soul Memorial Hall.

At this time, the other countries and tribes around Datang were all honest, for fear that Datang's next target would be them. Even the Xue Yantuo tribe, which was originally ready to move, settled down honestly at this time and continued to wait for better opportunities.

At this time, two gossip began to flow in Chang'an City. One is a student of the Tang Imperial Academy, who now only knows the master of the academy, Li Hao, and does not know the Tang Emperor, and the academy has been controlled by Li Hao.

Another piece of news is that after Li Erdong returned from the Eastern Expedition, he has been favoring the Queen of Silla alone, and it is said that the woman is not only beautiful and colorful, but also charming. Li Er liked it deeply, and after returning from the Eastern Crusade, Li Er has been with that woman.

Li Hao didn't know where these news came from, and Li Hao couldn't take care of Li Er's affairs. However, it may be true that someone is targeting himself, and it seems that his position in this sacrificial wine will not be able to do it for long, which is just right.

After Li Hao heard the news, he didn't say a word, and immediately wrote to Li Er and asked for his resignation. I can't do it, if I continue to do it, it's time to leave Datang, who made Li Ke that guy too angry, otherwise he can still have fun.
