Chapter 55: An Epic Battle

"Hahaha, Brother Li Ji, I heard that you have been trapped in the city of Anshi for many days, do you need my brother to help you? Haha~" Li Daozong rode a high-headed horse and entered the camp of the Tang army under the city of Anshi with a group of guards.

Today, on the day when he led the army and Li Ji's department to turn, the meeting of the two armies was naturally exciting, but Li Ji was not very happy at this time, it turned out that he had been trapped under the city of Anshi on the cliff of Goryeo for three whole days, and he could not advance an inch for three days, which inevitably made the general a little impatient.

Lifting the curtain of the big tent, Li Ji walked out with two dark circles under his eyes, which caused Li Daozong to laugh again, seeing his old friend who was comparable to the god of war in the past, nothing could be more interesting than this.

Li Ji was too lazy to speak at this time, and took Li Daozong into the camp and handed a report to Li Daozong......

"What? Artillery doesn't work either? In the big tent, Li Daozong's surprised voice spread far away.

"Let's talk to my brother, why can't artillery? My brother relied on this thing to attack the city all the way, what's going on. Seeing that the artillery could not be used, Li Daozong's face began to become a little stern.

Li Ji sighed, "Didn't you see the Anshi City built on the cliff on the way you came?" ”

Li Daozong scratched his head, "I didn't look very closely, but I vaguely saw that there was a high city on that mountain." ”

Li Ji shook his head and said, "That city is too high, and the maximum height that the artillery can hit is still out of reach, so there has been no way now." ”

Li Daozong was also a little silent, with a contemplative look on his face. It seems that a solution is also being pondered.

This time. Li Ji seemed to remember something again. His face became more worried, and he pulled a sheepskin map from the side, and after spreading it out, he pointed to the area between Pyongyang and Anshi City and said worriedly: "Now the main support of Goryeo is also marching day and night, and the spies have come to report that there are a total of 150,000 troops, including 3,000 cavalry, and when the Goryeo support army comes, it will be difficult for our vanguard of 15,000 people to resist."

Li Daozong's expression at this time was not as worried as Li Ji's. There was still a sense of excitement between the eyebrows, "Ben will receive information from the spies, the two generals of Goryeo, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, are the ones who are wine bags and rice bags, I'm afraid that this time we can wipe out the main force of Goryeo in one fell swoop!" ”

Li Ji raised his head in some surprise, he didn't expect his old friend to say such a thing, fifteen thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand, and he could still say something to destroy the other party.

Li Daozong seemed to have seen through Li Ji's worries, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said confidently: "Brother Li Ji." Don't forget, it's not just artillery that will be provided to us by the Warden and the Thunderbolt Yard. And muskets and grenades! ……”……

Li Er's announcement in the court that he was going to drive the royal expedition caused an uproar in the court, and old ministers like Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji desperately blocked it, but no one could stop the enthusiasm of such a young and courageous emperor.

After all, Li Er is an emperor who seizes the throne on horseback, and his courage is naturally not comparable to that of a cowardly emperor like Li Zhi in later generations, so no matter how loud the opposition in the court is, it can't stop his will.

His Majesty wants to drive the royal expedition in person, and the Hundred Cavalry Division and the Shadow Secret Guard have made big moves, and many masters who have been missing on the rivers and lakes for many years have now appeared in Li Er's palace, and all of them are wearing gold and steel armor printed with the royal symbol.

The Ministry of War began to recruit extensively, and the government soldiers in various townships and counties began to be recruited, and young people who had no livelihood at home and wanted to get ahead have signed up one after another.

This time, the conscription action was even bigger than that of the Chengguan garrison, and the entire Tang Dynasty fell into madness, and it seemed that Goryeo had become the enemy of the whole world.

The "Datang News" kept reporting on Goryeo's evil deeds, and even the newly opened "Ye Bao" in Guozijian and the "Shang Bao" printed in Qinglongfang were smearing Goryeo, and the boiling Chang'an needed an army of 100,000 to completely crush this empty-eyed enemy......

"Now our opponent has three countermeasures, the best strategy is to unite with Anshi City and trap more than 10,000 of us; The middle strategy is to flee with the defenders of Anshi City to preserve strength; Let's make a decision to fight us directly. Brother Li Ji, what do you think those two generals in Goryeo will decide? ”

Li Ji had just put down the investigation materials in his hand at this time, and he had just completely read the information of the two main generals of the Goryeo army.

"Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are really reckless men, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the Goryeo soldiers, I'm afraid they would have been defeated a long time ago." Li Ji's eyes lit up and said, "Judging from the intelligence, these two generals will definitely choose to make a decisive decision and fight with us under the city of Anshi." ”

Li Daozong also smiled, "When we first set out on the expedition, Your Majesty once told us that this time to attack Goryeo, we can't just beat it away and not destroy it, once we send troops, we must fight him with all our might, and the current decisive battle is our great opportunity." ”

Li Ji's originally expressionless face also showed a sly smile, and he said softly: "Success or failure is here!" ”……

Du Jun felt that Gan Fuxing's body was so heavy, and he carried him over the mountains and mountains for several days, until he was exhausted, and he couldn't hear the voice of the Tang people around him.

Gan Fuxing is really a lucky star, the Tang people's dense cannonballs failed to kill them, and the comrades-in-arms who were only a few dozen meters away from them were all blown into flesh and blood, and even when they fled from the city, Du Jun also saw a comrade-in-arms he knew lying on the ground, spitting blood foaming at his mouth and calling for help to himself.

Those Tang people all lay on their stomachs like ants, and the terrifying sound of cannonballs was gone, replaced by a slight bumper sound, but what was even more terrifying than the cannonballs was that once the weapons in the hands of the Tang people made a sound of clamming, a soldier would fall, even if the soldier was physically strong, he had no resistance.

Gan Fuxing is like this, when Du Jun saw him, he had fallen in a pool of blood, in the face of this benefactor who had saved his life, Du Jun didn't know what he was thinking at the time, in the chaos of the army, he took Gan Fuxing and fled downstairs in the city, and then got into the mountain forest next to him, where there was a place where he hid white medicine, and helped Gan Fuxing bandage his wounds, which led him into the mountain forest, and the two ran all the way, eating dry food, and now, when they got out of the mountain forest, they found that the distance was already Anshi City......

"The whole army is reorganized and encamped!" The general, who was on a horse, said commandingly.

"The general has an order, the whole army is reorganized, and the camp is encamped!" The heralds loudly conveyed the general's orders in the marching ranks.

The general on the horse seemed to be in a good mood, and pointed to Anshi City not far away: "Yanshou, you see, my Anshi City is as solid as a rock, and it is simply a fantasy for the Tang people to attack it!" ”

The general, who was known as Yanshou, also laughed: "What Hui Zhen said is good, we will lead an army of 150,000 this time, and we will definitely let these Tang people have no return under the city of Anshi!" ”

The two generals laughed together, but the strategist who looked like a military advisor beside them dissuaded: "General, I have long heard that Li Ji and Li Daozong of the Tang Dynasty are both fierce generals on the march, and no one is invincible in the Central Plains, not to mention that Liaodong City, Xincheng, and Baiyan City were lightly broken, the general is still careful, don't fight hard, and now it is unwise to be stationed forty miles away from the Tang Dynasty." ”

I have to say that there are still capable people under the fools, and this strategist is suing General SΓΉ Ergao, Li Ji and Li Daozong are both capable masters, and people are cutting people to make a fortune. Not to mention the achievements of people in China's punching and kicking, just this time to come to us, the siege of the city is as easy as blowing candles, Liaodong City, Xincheng, Baiyan City and other fortified cities have been lightly attacked, and their strength cannot be underestimated, so it is better to be careful, not to be with the opposite side of the hard just now.

When Gao Yanshou heard this, his face, which was still full of smiles, suddenly became cloudy, and he slapped the strategist with a "snap", "The cowardly and fearful guy, when you are in battle, you dare to grow the morale of others, destroy the prestige of my army, come and drag them down and put them in the military prison!" ”…… (To be continued......)
