Chapter 575: Bloody Hand Slaughter
A few years have passed unconsciously, and the filial piety of the current emperor has finally passed. With the efforts of the past few years www.biquge.info Li Chengqian has successfully completed the complete excessation of rights and brought domestic rights back to a state of balance.
Of course, he also succeeded in dismantling the situation that the eldest grandson was too big to lose, so that he, the emperor, could be regarded as completely worthy of his name, and no longer had to live in the shadow or shelter of others.
Li Chengqian, who also wanted to make achievements, after completely stabilizing the domestic situation, also inevitably set his sights on the surrounding countries, and Goguryeo, which had always been the thorn in the heart of the Central Plains Empire, was naturally included in the next plan.
And Shi Lei has not been idle and idle during this time, in addition to completing his own work, he has already received Li Chengqian's instructions to make him the vanguard of the attack on Goguryeo.
If it weren't for Shi Lei's self-aware statement that he was not a qualified candidate for commander, it seems that Li Chengqian would have the intention of simply letting Shi Lei take command, at least it is estimated that he would be in charge of all the people. However, Shi Lei's own family knows his own affairs, and he is still more suitable to be a simple general.
As for things like commanders, Shi Lei suggested that on the one hand, Xue Rengui, the future marshal, can be gradually cultivated, after all, he is Li Chengqian's hardcore confidant, or Su Dingfang can also be in charge in the near future, and on the other hand, he can also choose to believe in Li Ji's level.
In the case that Li Jing, the recognized god of war, unexpectedly passed away earlier than his age in history, Li Ji became the undisputed successor of the god of war. Moreover, he also passed Li Shimin's test before his death, and now he is squatting in the mountains, waiting for Li Chengqian's summons. After staging another drama of monarchs and ministers, this person can return to the highest historical stage.
Further messing up the domestic situation of Goguryeo has become a compulsory course for Shi Lei at this stage, who makes him never fight uncertain battles, and always likes to make preparations ahead. In addition to fully understanding the current situation in Goguryeo, it is also essential to take the initiative to intervene in causing trouble for them and make them a litter of pigs.
Fortunately, the Shi family still has an advantage in this regard, when Shi Lei worked under Youzhou, he planted nails in the north, and Xiong Xiong, the current leader of the Yan tribe, stood on Shi Lei's side.
At present, he has successfully integrated the two major Tatar tribes into his command, and is seeking a larger territory and annexing more population, originally in terms of interests, it is also very consistent with Shi Lei's side, and it is more in line with the interests of Datang for the time being, so he has received all kinds of assistance from changing the law.
With the desperate attack of these beast-like warriors of the Ya tribe, the production of the entire Goguryeo was about to stop, and the national strength was not declining at all.
Moreover, while the Tang Dynasty provided food to the Tatar tribe, it also purchased various slaves from the Tatar tribe. The men of Goguryeo were either killed by the Tatar tribe or sold into slavery in the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the women were trained to become Silla maids, which was still lucky, and most of the Goguryeo women became the fertility machines of the Tatar tribe and contributed their youth to the growth of the Tatar tribe.
Under such constant harassment, the destruction of Goguryeo accumulated a lot, and it slowly became a bit of a nerve-wracking effect.
In addition, in Goguryeo, there are not a few people who are dissatisfied with the high-pressure rule of Quangai Suwen, and with the silent support of the Tang Dynasty behind them, many people bravely stood up and fought the fiercest against this powerful minister. Moreover, there are people from the Tang Dynasty in the center, and they also echo the actions of the Ya clan, so the results are naturally greater.
Moreover, Shi Lei also sent Uncle Fan, who is the best at this kind of thing, has a deep understanding of people's hearts, and knows many ghost tricks, to be sent over early, which can be regarded as a military advisor to Xiong Xiong, which made Xiong Xiong, who was originally extremely upright, able to play with various means and gain more and more power.
When Datang made all preparations in China and completely settled down, it also basically solved the grain problem by actively promoting potato planting and other methods, and the continuous bumper harvest and good years made Datang's grain reserves even excessively surplus, and Datang's national strength was also strong to a certain extent.
It's time for a hearty battle under the leadership of Li Chengqian to declare the strength of the Tang Dynasty. It also added a strong stroke to Li Chengqian's resume after he took office, and he also needed such a big battle to further consolidate his position.
This battle is too important, not to mention the strength of the whole country, Datang has also transferred a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals. Li Ji is certain to be the coach, Shi Lei has a number of fierce generals, it must also be indispensable, and several veterans are still in their playing years, and they have also worked hard to lead the team to the battle.
Shi Lei also didn't want to live up to Li Chengqian's trust, and he also wanted to further consolidate his position in the military generals' circle, at least the leader of this fierce general, he had to be honest and unceremonious, so he also took out a lot of family wealth and threw himself into this battle.
After all, the enemy is Goguryeo, which once made the Great Sui sink into the sand, and now it is likely to be the same enemy, preparing to face the attack of the Tang Dynasty, a country whose national strength is not weak.
More importantly, it can be said that there is no danger to defend and can only resist head-on the steppe empire Turks, as well as Tuyuhun, Goguryeo does not lack large and small fortified cities, and some are even close to mountains and rivers, which are definitely typical of easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And because of the experience of defeating the Central Plains Empire, when they faced the Tang Dynasty, they were not psychologically weak, and their fear was not strong enough, but the sentiment of resistance on the contrary was relatively high, in short, this was a hard nut to crack.
Shi Lei simply brought almost all the masters he could take out under his hands, and only left the housekeeper uncle and the older generation of masters at home, the two brothers and bears, Li Mu, the deadpool, and the condor shooters at hand, basically brought them with him.
The animal army is naturally also indispensable, in addition to the common beasts and dogs, as well as the birds of prey army as the eyes of the army, this time Shi Lei even the weasel army and the monkey army are no longer hidden, they are all good helpers when dealing with the city defense troops.
In the end, he simply pulled over the many formic acids that had been collected over the years, in order to defeat the confidence of all Goguryeo people at once and fear them.
After the real battle began, Shi Lei finally did not have two or three big cats and kittens under his command before, and simply rushed into the edge of Goguryeo's important city with tens of thousands of vanguard troops, and brazenly launched an active attack on Goguryeo. And at the same time as him, there were also many warriors of the Tatar clan led by Xiong Xiong.
Under Shi Lei's brave attack in every battle, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bravely, and the battle often showed a one-sided trend at the beginning.
Whoever asked Shi Lei to always let the weasel army launch first, let the raptor army airdrop them into the enemy's dense area, and then fart's big move will be opened, and the enemy's combat power will be at least fifty percent less.
The monkey army climbed the ladder nailed out by the Tang army's bow and crossbow in a timely manner, climbed up to the head of the city, destroyed all kinds of equipment, or simply opened the city gate, and the battle naturally immediately leaned to the side of the Tang army.
Then there are Shi Lei and a few of them, taking the lead in slicing all the enemies who dare to resist into all kinds of irregular pieces of meat, and the Goguryeo defenders who originally swore to repel the attack of the Tang army, and even the residents, either made the souls of the dead under the knife, or knelt down and begged to surrender.
There were really those who resisted, so Shi Lei simply used a bed crossbow and a trebuchet to plow the head of the city, and then washed the ground with formic acid. The defenders who were dropped by the corpse-like gold-eating formic acid were not human at all, and the screams were not like human voices.
No matter what they do after that, there will definitely be a wave of rockets on the Tang army's side, turning the city wall into a human purgatory.
This is also something that can't be helped, Shi Lei is also worried that these strong formic acids will in turn cause harm to the Tang army on the city wall. After burning, not only can it better disintegrate the enemy's will to resist, or simply burn them out, and there is no need to worry about the Tang Army being inadvertently harmed by formic acid, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
In the face of such a tragic offensive, there are really few enemy troops who can persist in resisting. Therefore, Shi Lei's past can be said to have eaten away one city after another with a devastating attitude.
And there is no problem of advancing, it will only advance steadily and gradually, it is completely a flat push posture, no matter which threatening city on the road ahead, it must be taken and then continue to advance, if necessary, call several other armies, and gnaw those big cities together.
The existence of Shi Lei and his animal army obviously gave the Tang army more options and more flexible tactics, and they could always find the enemy's weak points and take them down in a targeted manner.
The entire Goguryeo battlefield has become a stage for Shi Lei to show his extraordinary martial arts and the powerful role of the animal army, of course, another result is that where there are difficult bones to gnaw and where there are enemies with the most resolute will to resist, Shi Lei will be sent there. While making great achievements, the casualties inevitably increased a lot. Fortunately, the animal can still be replenished, but the loss of his subordinates really makes him sad.
Fortunately, the more he arrived, the more enemies he could transform, whether these people were used as nails to obtain more information for the Tang army, or to assemble and help open the city gate as an internal officer, they were all very useful.
So the more he fought, the faster Shi Lei won the opponent, and his reputation for human slaughter was too loud, and he was able to achieve the effect of stopping the child's night cry in the legend, and became a famous big demon king
After the enemy heard that he was coming, he often went to extremes, either he lost the heart of resistance, and some simply ran out and surrendered, which is the effect of Shi Lei always restraining his subordinates and treating the prisoners preferentially.
Either it becomes a sworn resistance, knowing that it will be solved by death, so it puts life and death out of the way. This kind of relative must account for a minority, and Shi Lei admires such a person very much, but he must not be soft at all.
