Chapter 1874: Changing in a Hasty, Xue Li Makes Contributions (Two Chapters in One)
Liaodong City is of great significance to His Majesty Li Er.
If you want to be an emperor through the ages, you have to surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, you can't just rely on what you say, you have to have ready-made cultural and martial arts there.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.
Wenzhi is actually not very easy to compare, and it is really easy to compare martial arts. If you do what others can't do, it means that you are better than them.
On the contrary, what people can do, you can't. I'm sorry, you're just not as good as others.
Liaodong City is a similar subject.
Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army fought three times, but it was not defeated. If His Majesty Li Er had beaten down, what he hadn't said would have been better than Emperor Yang of Sui.
But if you can't beat it, if you get it, then you will degenerate to the same level as this king of the dead country.
Therefore, don't look at Li Daozong's order to break the city in January. In fact, it was not him who was most concerned about this matter, but His Majesty Li Er.
To conquer Liaodong City, the first thing to do is to clean up the fortifications outside the city, which is simply "negative soil filling." ”
In other words, with the soil on his back, the big hole dug by the Goguryeo people was filled. There are these big pits, which are not conducive to the offensive of the Tang army.
Early the next morning, His Majesty Li Er came to the city and saw that the soldiers were busy. He immediately jumped off his horse, shared the weal and woe with the soldiers, and carried the soil together.
This is terrible, the emperor has started to work, who dares to slack off?
As a result, the morale was high, and everyone from the emperor to the pawns worked together to fill the trench in only two days, which was originally scheduled to be filled in five days.
Then, Li Daozong ordered people to build huge stone throwers. This stone thrower is large in size and has a lot of capacity. You can throw 300 catties of stones a mile away.
Although the Goguryeo people also tried a lot of ways to intercept the flying stones, in the end they were in vain.
More than 20 catapults were launched day and night, and in just five days, all the buildings on the city wall were swept away.
Of course, at the same time, those stone throwing machines also died at this time due to long-term wear and tear.
It was only at this time that Li Daozong ordered the siege of the city.
Immediately, Li Ji and Zhang Jian led the army to attack the south of the city, and Li Daozong and Zhang Shigui led the army to attack the east of the city. His Majesty Li Er led the Son of Heaven to attack the south of the city, and he lost his thinking power, Qi Bi He Li, and Ashina Mi led the army to attack the north of the city.
Attack on all sides, at the same time. Siege engines, ladders, rams, and fire crossbows were all used.
In just one day, Liaodong City was crumbling. The Tang army even controlled a section of the city wall in a short period of time, and if it weren't for Sun Daiyin, the lord of Liaodong City, who led his guards to fight back desperately, the city would have been broken.
That night, in the Tang camp, there was a burst of laughter.
Li Daozong said proudly: "Your Majesty, an attack like today, one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Weichen is fifty percent sure that he can break the city." ”
"Only fifty percent? Isn't it a little too little? ”
"Don't worry. This time we are just an attack by an ordinary army, and the Xuanjia Army has not moved yet. If the city can't be broken the day after tomorrow, the Xuanjia army will be sent out. At that time, Liaodong City was the end of the strong crossbow, but the Xuanjia Army was a new force. Isn't the certainty of this broken city ten? ”
"That's very good. If the city is really broken within half a month, the king of Jiangxia will definitely go down in history, even I will be honored. Ha ha! ”
"Where, where. This is His Majesty's personal expedition, thousands of years later, in the history books, it is recorded that the capture of Liaodong City must be His Majesty's name. If Wechen's name can be mentioned slightly, I will be satisfied. ”
"Haha, we monarchs and ministers are of one mind, regardless of each other. Let's create this peaceful and prosperous world. Come on, let's drink this cup to the fullest! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Early the next morning, His Majesty Li Er was awakened by a sound of silk bamboo. He hurriedly sent someone to summon Li Daozong and said, "There seems to be something unusual in the city, what is going on?" Send someone to find out. ”
Li Daozong said: "Wechen has already looked over the building, and I saw that there were people in the city dressed in colorful clothes who seemed to be marching. ”
"Parade?" His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "What are they doing?" Siege today, be cautious. Don't give the enemy a chance. ”
"Yes!"
After a full meal, the Tang army continued to attack the city, but in order to prevent the tricks of the Goguryeo people, the Tang army was much more careful about the scale of the siege this time.
Until the evening of the day, the city was not broken.
However, after His Majesty Li Er learned about the real "conspiracy" of the Goguryeo people, his nose was almost crooked!
He said angrily, "Is that really the case? ”
Li Jidao: "According to the captive, this is indeed the case. There is a Zhu in the city. Mengci, Sun Daiyin told the soldiers and civilians in the city that as long as they used beautiful women to please Zhu. Mongolia, Liaodong City can be preserved. This morning, they were offering sacrifices to the gods! ”
"Hateful!" His Majesty Li Er slapped the imperial case and said, "It's a shame that I was deceived by this little trick!" ”
Li Ji said: "Your Majesty is angry, in fact, this is a good thing. ”
"A good thing?"
"You have to think so, we just lost a day, and what about Liaodong City? Sun Daiyin has actually reached the point of praying to God and worshiping Buddha, which shows that he is really poor in donkey skills. Let's break the city, just around the corner! ”
"Makes sense." His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Then continue to attack tomorrow!" ”
Although the city was not broken on the third day, His Majesty Li Er was still in a good mood.
He said: "Sun Daiyin really had two hits, and he actually lasted another day. It seems that this Xuanjia Army really has to be dispatched. ”
LI Jidao; "As soon as the Xuanjia Army comes out, who will compete? At this time tomorrow, I'm afraid that Wechen will have to drink with His Majesty in the city. ”
Li Daozong joked: "Sun Daiyin's surname is Sun, and His Majesty's surname is Li." He met His Majesty, just like in the text of "Journey to the West", Sun Monkey met Daozu. No matter how ever-changing he is, he will not escape the blow of the diamond bracelet! ”
"Well said!" His Majesty Li Er said: "Liaodong City is basically in our pocket, and this military order, King Jiangxia has successfully completed it." I have a word for it, and I have rewarded you for this city! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Just as the monarch and ministers were talking, laughing, and having fun, suddenly a small colonel stumbled in and said, "Your Majesty, big ...... Big things are not good! ”
"What's the alarm?"
"Twenty miles north of our army, there is a Goguryeo army encamped. Roughly calculated, there are about sixty or seventy thousand! ”
Li Daozong said: "Isn't it 60,000 people? What is there to be afraid of? Tomorrow, I will lead the Xuanjia Army to break it! ”
At this time, another sergeant came to report that twenty miles to the west, there was also a large army of Goguryeo, still sixty or seventy thousand.
Li Daozong was still unflustered and said, "Interesting! It's kind of interesting! The silent movement of the 120,000 army has come under our noses, and it is really a bit capable. But it's just a little capable......"
His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Why did King Jiangxia say this?" ”
"If I were the commander of Goguryeo, I would not camp in the north and west, but in the east and south. Camping in the south can cut off our army's own grain routes, and camping in the east can cut off the connection between our army and Gaimu City. With a two-pronged approach, our army is in danger. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another probe came to report and said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. Our army has 60,000 or 70,000 Goguryeo troops in the east and south, and they have set up a large camp! ”
At this time, people's faces changed, and it was obvious that the Tang army was surrounded!
There are 50,000 in Liaodong City, and 60,000 or 70,000 on each side, which adds up to more than 300,000! A total of 60,000 Tang troops had to face more than 300,000 Goguryeo troops. Can one against five, win?
What's more, now the grain channel has been cut off!
His Majesty Li Er said: "Hehe, it seems that we have really fallen for the tricks of the Goguryeo people." Their handsomeness is not a little capable, but capable. Let's talk about how to deal with it. ”
Li Jidao: "So far, there are only two ways. First, first destroy Liaodong City, and then rely on Jiancheng, and deal with the nearly 300,000 troops outside the city, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known. ”
"And what about the second one?"
"Destroy the reinforcements first, and then fight Liaodong City!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "These two items are actually not very easy. King Jiangxia, which one do you say? ”
"As long as the Xuanjia Army is dispatched, Liaodong City will be broken. There must be a large amount of storage in this city, and we will take the grain and grass in it, even if the grain route is cut off. It can also last for three months to six months. With food in his hand and no panic in his heart, Weichen chose the second one. ”
"Okay, just according to what King Jiangxia said."
On the fourth day of the siege, the Xuanjia Army was finally dispatched!
They lived up to expectations and climbed the walls of Liaodong City, but today, the resistance in the city was much fiercer than the previous three days.
Under the desperate counterattack of the defenders, they occupied the city wall three times and were beaten back three times! In just half a day, there were 1,000 casualties in the Xuanjia army.
When His Majesty Li Er saw the situation, his heart was dripping blood, and he could only grit his teeth and insist!
Just as the battle was inseparable, suddenly, horses rumbled in all directions. The Goguryeo army outside is encircled!
Under the fortified city, it was attacked by superior forces. The Tang army could only switch from offensive to defensive and withdrew.
Above the city, the troops who had not had time to withdraw were all cut off their heads and hung high on the flagpole! The general Chebi He Li is also among them.
Sun Daiyin laughed at the head of the city and said: "Tang Jun listens to the truth, in my Liaodong City, there are not 50,000 troops, but 100,000!" There's no way you're going to take it. In other words, you've been tricked! This time, we in Goguryeo want to annihilate your 60,000 troops and capture Li Shimin alive! ”
"You've been tricked!"
"Capture Li Shimin alive!"
"Kill all Chang'an City, and the lord of Yuan will be the emperor!"
"Jiang Dashuai is mighty, and he has no last resort!"
"The three Han kings are in the world, and the Tang army is defeated and lost!"
Above the city, the Goguryeo army shouted in unison, resounding through the sky!
In the Tang camp, there was a gloomy cloud.
His Majesty Li Er said: "The second plan has failed, it seems that Goguryeo was really premeditated!" A few days ago, we said that we broke the city in half a month, and it was ridiculous to think about it. ”
When Li Daozong heard this, his face couldn't hold back, and he said, "Even if you can't capture Liaodong City, it's nothing." In terms of field warfare, our Tang army was far superior to Goguryeo. Please also ask Your Majesty to give me a general order to destroy the enemy camp tomorrow! ”
Li Ji groaned: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that people won't give us a chance to fight in the field at all!" ”
His Majesty Li Er said: "No matter what, you have to give it a try." King Jiangxia, I wish you a successful start and success! The safety of our army is in danger, but here is a move! Please! ”
"Your Majesty, relax and look at Li Daozong's methods!"
The next day, the third watch cooks, the fourth watch rectifies, and the fifth watch raises troops. Li Daozong led 5,000 cavalry and attacked the enemy camp in the south.
really let Li Ji guess that people have deep ditches and high bases, and they don't fight!
In desperation, Li Daozong could only order an attack.
His Majesty Li Er stood in Lou Qiao to watch the battle, and after only watching it for a quarter of an hour, he shouted, "It's not good, Jiang Xia has a plan!" Hurry up and withdraw the troops! ”
Bell bell ~~
The gong sounded, and the army began to retreat, but by this time it was too late!
The Goguryeo army was quite disciplined, spared most of the troops, and surrounded 2,000 cavalry in the center. Unhurried, chewing slowly, in less than an hour, there were only about a thousand people left in that army.
What's more, Li Daozong is among them!
Now His Majesty Li Er's eyes are red, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, and the Tang army can compare to the Jiangxia King's good fighting, but it is just a palm, and there is no room for loss!
Not to mention that now that we are in adversity, the death of the vanguard officer will have too great an impact on the morale of the army. Maybe it will directly cause the failure of this crusade!
He immediately ordered Li Jidao: "At any cost, we must also rescue the king of Jiangxia." ”
"Whoa!"
Immediately, Zhang Jian, the head of the march, Wu Heimin, the general, and Ma Wenju, the brave general, each led 5,000 horses and took turns to rush to the camp!
The first time Li Daozong stormed the camp, it was the Goguryeo people who deliberately let it in. This time it was not so easy, they relied on deep ditches and high barriers to resist step by step! And seize the opportunity to fight back!
Another half an hour passed, and not only were the three troops driven back, but they also suffered a lot of losses!
At that time, Li Daozong's troops were less than 500 left, and they were in danger!
His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth, rode on the free horse, held the horse lance in his hand, and said loudly: "Xuanjia Army, go out with me!" ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Li Ji immediately knelt down in front of the horse and said, "This time, the commander of Goguryeo is old and spicy, and there are countless traps in the camp!" If you make a light offense, there are three long and two short, and I am in danger! ”
"Hmph, I can't get out of the horse? Shall I send you? When it comes to battlefield charges, you are not only inferior to me, but even the king of Jiangxia! Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have brought the Duke of Eguo with me in this crusade! Get out of the way! ”
"Even if you kill the minister, I can't let you! The Tang Dynasty can be without the King of Jiangxia, but not without His Majesty! Li Ji grabbed the reins of the free horse and refused to let go.
"You ......" His Majesty Li Er was confused, he couldn't slaughter the general manager of this march, so he had to say loudly: "The generals listen to the truth, no matter who it is, they can rescue the king of Jiangxia, reward ten thousand gold, and seal ten thousand households!" ”
He shouted three times, but no one answered!
Li Daozong, Zhang Jian, and Wu Heimin are all veterans of the battlefield, and Ma Wenju is the representative of the brave generals of the Tang Dynasty, so to speak, a few of them represent the highest level of the Tang Dynasty battlefield!
If they can't do it, others will give it for nothing!
If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work. This is not just lip service, then you will have to really play it later!
At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the Goguryeo army, and on the banner, the word "Jiang" was written in capital.
The first person is a veteran with white hair. He said loudly: "Please answer before the Tang Dynasty Tianzi!" ”
His Majesty Li Er urged him to step forward and said, "I am Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, who are you?" ”
"I am Jiang Yishi, the commander of the three armies of Goguryeo!"
"Jiang Yishi?" His Majesty Li Er sneered and said, "It's you, send your granddaughter to Datang to assassinate me!" It's a pity, the people of Zhenji have their own natural appearance, and you Goguryeo stealing chickens will not be a handful of rice. Your granddaughter is now giving our Datang Qin Guogong a warm bed! Hahaha! ”
"Your Majesty, please leave your mouth. Small countries and widows, in order to protect themselves, of course, must do everything. Don't talk about chastity. What's the sufficiency of life? Ben Shuai is not ashamed of this matter, but proud. Jiang Yumei, that's the pride of our Goguryeo people! ”
"What a Goguryeo pride! It's the first time I've seen such a brazen grandfather. Could it be that you Goguryeo people are so shameless? ”
Jiang Yishi waved his hand and said, "I won't have a verbal dispute with you, now the Jiangxia King of your country has been trapped to death." Is there a way for Your Majesty to rescue him? ”
"What if there's a way? What if there is no way? ”
"There is a way to rescue, you win by strength, of course the old decay is helpless. If you can't save ......"
"How?"
Jiang Yishi said in a loud voice: "It's not very good, it just shows that your Tang army is just like this, and there are no brave generals!" This big battle will definitely be lost! ”
"Are you agitated? Trick me into sending an army to attack your camp? ”
"Your Majesty is really smart, you can understand that. I just don't know if the Tang Army has the ability to make calculations? ”
Then, he made a look, and the pro-army next to him waved the order flag!
In the camp of Goguryeo, thousands of people shouted in unison, "Can the Tang army dare to attack the camp?" Can the Tang army dare to attack the camp? ”
His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy like water, and Li Ji said: "Your Majesty can't!" There is a cloud in the art of war, and you will not be able to raise troops out of anger! ”
"How can I not know this? But if they continue to shout, the morale of our army will inevitably plummet! This is a conspiracy, and neither is it for me to attack! Neither does it if you don't attack! ”
Then, he said in a loud voice: "The lord humiliates the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death." My Datang is full of talents, and there is really no one who can share my worries? You reach out and touch it, is that thing under your crotch still there? Today, are we really stopped by the Goguryeo people? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone replied: "A certain family is willing to go!" ”
Swish!
All eyes were on this man.
I saw this person's white helmet, white armor and white robe, a white dragon horse under his crotch, a double bow at his waist and hips, and a bright silver spear in his hand.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know this person, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I am the captain of the Xuanjia Army, Xue Li Xue Rengui!"
"Nonsense, the Xuanjia army is all black armor, what's the matter if you wear white?"
Xue Rengui said unhurriedly: "On the battle array, everyone is wearing the same. With so many people, how can Your Majesty notice me Xue Li? A certain family is dressed like this, just to attract the attention of His Majesty, and to become famous in the world today! ”
"You're just a little captain, are you really sure to rescue King Jiangxia?"
"Don't look at Weichen's low position, but his ability is not small. In addition, the origin of Weichen is not so simple, and it has a lot to do with His Majesty's two important ministers! ”
"Ministers? Which two important ministers? ”
"Now that I have said their names, it is obvious that I Xue Li became famous, and I borrowed their momentum. When I return from my meritorious service, I will explain it to His Majesty. ”
"Good! Be ambitious! But I don't know how many soldiers and horses you are going to bring to relieve the siege of King Jiangxia? ”
"Two hundred people under Weichen are enough!"
"Isn't it a little too little?"
"Hehe......" Xue Rengui smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Only when there are few people can I show my ability!" ”
His Majesty Li Er said with a straight face: "Then please leave everything to Xue Aiqing." If you succeed, I will definitely reward you! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui immediately shook his spirits and rushed to the camp with his two hundred Xuanjia troops!
Good Xue Li, not only is he angry, but this ability is also worthy of his tone!
Two hundred people took Xue Rengui as the front, shot arrows at a distance, and stabbed with guns when they were close, like knives cutting cream, and broke through the enemy formation.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he will join Li Daozong!
"King Jiangxia, come with me!"
"Good!"
When the two soldiers are united, they rush back.
How could Jiang Yishi let them run away so easily? Immediately, several elite troops were sent to intercept it.
However, today's protagonist is destined to be Xue Li and Xue Rengui!
Another quarter of an hour passed, and he had already knelt down in front of His Majesty's horse, and said: "Weichen went out this time, cut two flags, captured three guns, killed and wounded countless enemy soldiers, and rescued Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! ”
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed and said, "Okay, good, there was Zhao Zilong in the past, and Xue Rengui in the present!" I have many heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't have to worry about it! ”
Then he said to Jiang Yishi: "What does Jiang Dashuai think?" ”
PS: Originally, it was going to be divided into two chapters to add more.,I found that a little bit of a drag after a chapter.,Just two chapters into a big long chapter.。 I'm as kind as ever!
