Chapter 33: Blitzkrieg

Hearing that there was a military newspaper, Li Er didn't comfort the hawker, "You can figure it out here yourself, I don't think you can figure out such a thing as a woman in your life."

After a while, the peddler felt that Li Er was right, so he was not so depressed, and stood up to read the military newspaper with Li Er and them, and the battle report said that Zhang Liangshuai had captured Beisha City directly from Duhai, Shandong, and the other Goguryeo troops around him had not had time to return to defense, and Li Er and Li Ji could no longer hold back their mood.

Li Er immediately ordered to go down, "cross the river tomorrow, and strive to break Liaocheng and Xia'an City as soon as possible"

Li Ji hugged his fists and went down to arrange people, and the hawker checked the history during this period, "Brother Li, let's attack Goguryeo a few years earlier than the official history, there's no need to be so nervous."

Li Er shook his head, "That's not what I said, you see this day, it's July now, if everything goes well, I still hope to return victorious before the heavy snow closes the mountain."

The peddler nodded, in history, Li Er set off from Luoyang in February, but now because everything is ahead of schedule, it happens to be in trouble in Tubo, so this time has been pushed back for a long time.

Before dawn the next day, the whole camp was boiling, and the hawkers got up and saw that the soldiers had already moved forward, and many pontoon bridges were laid over the Liao River, and the soldiers were passing quickly.

The hawker didn't see Li Er, it was estimated that Ya had gone to the front line, the hawker drove the van and followed the troops across the river, and when he arrived on the other side, he saw that the soldiers had already started digging trenches under the city, and there were shadows on the city wall, it was estimated that he hadn't fought with the Tang army for a long time, and he hadn't seen digging a pit for himself before the battle.

Under an umbrella covered with Li Er's dragon flag, the vendor found Li Er, who was looking at the city with a telescope, and stabbed Li Er with a cigarette, "What's the situation?" ā€

Li Er lowered his head and took the cigarette away, and the peddler lit it, "It's okay, the enemy may still be a little unsuitable for modern warfare, and he is looking at us curiously."

"Really?" After saying that, the peddler asked Li Er's telescope to come over and cover his face, and sure enough, the soldiers on the city wall at least had Goguryeo characteristics, and they couldn't see the tension before the war, so they took care of themselves with the knives and guns in their hands, and pointed at the Tang soldiers who were digging pits under the city and laughed.

The peddler returned the binoculars to Li Er, pinched his waist and held a cigarette, and made a very patron gesture, "Let them be proud for a while, they won't be able to laugh after a while"

Li Er nodded, and ordered his subordinates to bring a few chairs for the hawkers and a few lieutenants to sit down, and stretched out his hand to flick the cigarette ash, "Order, after a while of preparation, let the artillery give a little strength, I have never seen a modern siege with real swords and guns, don't be ashamed"

After the herald saluted, he went to the artillery position to report Li Er's orders, and the hawker waited for a long time, but before the start of the war, he was a little anxious, and pulled over a staff officer, "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ā€

The staff officer replied to the peddler, "Report to the director, the trenches have not been dug yet, so we have to wait a while"

The peddler bared his teeth, these people are really rigid in learning, "What do you staff officers do to eat, you can still dig trenches to fight such a thing, now, immediately let the artillery open fire, as soon as the cannon stops, I want to see the soldiers appear on the city wall, and if I can't go back, I will practice for three more years and then come out"

The staff officer saw that the hawker was angry, and hurried down with a cold sweat to inform the combat teams to prepare to go, Li Er turned his face and looked at the hawker, "I don't see that you are more anxious than me, will there be big casualties if you do this?" ā€

The vendor waved his hand "It's okay with these dogs. Day. If you still can't figure out the cooperation of the infantry artillery, then these instructors will have to pull to shoot the target, let's see."

Sure enough, what the hawker said was right, it may be that the artillery also thought that the infantry was slow to dig the pit, and after setting up their positions, they fired directly at the Liaocheng in front of them.

Before the Goguryeo soldiers who were chatting above Liaocheng could understand what was going on, they felt the city wall tremble, and they flew out like mites on the sheets.

Looking at the blasting points on the head of the city, Li Er smiled very happily, he was very fat, his legs were intertwined, and he tilted his body to look at the hawker, "Finally insightful, what do you think would be if I had this thing when I started the army"

The peddler "beats your own people with such a ruthless thing, don't you think it's hurtful?"

Li Er was depressed, "Won't I just talk about it, hey, look, the city wall has collapsed" The peddler quickly turned his face to look at Liaocheng, and saw the city wall that was still towering before, and now he was ready to go up with a man who had just been deceived. The bed is like a chick, and she reluctantly squirms and falls back.

At the moment when the city wall fell, the infantry on the ground played the role of a strange man, and pounced on the guys, and the artillerymen shot across the city in a timely manner, and for a time there was a very textbook scene of infantry and artillery coordination on the battlefield!

An hour later, a herald walked up to Li Er with an excited face, "Report, Liaocheng has been taken"

"Ahem..."Li Er covered his mouth and coughed vigorously, "You're not wrong, right?" ā€

The herald's face was resolute "no"

Li Er looked left and right, and the few people around him seemed to be that only the hawkers knew the true combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, and the others all knew, but none of them had an intuitive feeling.

At that moment, Li Er swallowed his saliva, "Dabao, are you sure that we will defeat Liaocheng like this?" ā€

The hawker skimmed Li Er, "Then what do you want?" I'm still waiting for the New Year here, and you don't want to see how much silver we have to give out in just a while, and it's more than enough to change it into copper coins and smash the people of Liaocheng to death."

Speaking of money, Li Er also began to feel distressed, and after the distress was over, he was relieved, "It's okay, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems, let's go into Liaocheng and have a look."

The hawker stood up with the armrest of the chair and followed Li Er to Liaocheng, a group of black-clothed new soldiers surrounded Li Er to guard, alert to possible dangers, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the hawker also pulled out his gun, and held it in his hand in the posture of Uncle Hei, with the muzzle facing up.

The group was like a crab on the shore, rampant through the half-finished trench dug by the soldiers before, into Liaocheng, the battle in the city has ended on a large scale, only sporadic resistance remains, but with a boom, the sound of resistance disappeared.

Li Er was puzzled for a moment, "Why are the artillerymen still firing?" ā€

The peddler hurriedly explained, "That's not artillery, it's a grenade brought by a soldier" Seeing that Li Er didn't seem to know what a grenade was, the hawker dragged one off the guard next to him and held it in his hand, "Ah, it's this gadget, didn't anyone report it to you?" ā€

Li Er took a grenade with a wooden handle and looked it up and down, "Maybe this thing is too inconspicuous, no one told me, how to play?" ā€

The peddler put the gun on his back, snatched the grenade from Li's second-hand, unscrewed the back cover, exposed the pull ring inside, hooked it with his tail finger, and then clenched it with his hand, and chose a direction, there was a fairly intact house in that place, and the hawker threw the grenade over with all his might. Boom.."

The house collapsed and the house collapsed "Oh, that's how it is used"

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "Good things, how much?" ā€

"This is cheap, about thirty yuan."

"Then you can get more" Then the group continued to walk inside, the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield, and passed in front of Li Er with a string of prisoners, and saw their own emperor, the soldiers raised their chests high, for fear of losing the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of His Majesty.
