Qu Wentai died, and his son Qu Zhisheng succeeded to the throne at this most difficult time, becoming a bitter backstabbing prince, but no matter what, he has to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country, after all, he is now the supreme leader of the entire Gaochang.

The sound of this song is also busy enough, and it is necessary to treat the funeral and defend the enemy. He ordered the army and the people to dig the moats deeper, to build the walls higher and stronger, and to make the whole people soldiers, young and old, to strengthen the city's defenses and try to hold on.

But what they did, in front of the powerful Chengguan garrison, it was like a mantis arm as a car, no threat, since the Chengguan garrison went through three months of marching, thousands of hardships and hardships to travel far into the desert, arrived in Gaochang country, they fully took into account the difficulties of attacking the city, as the fine tradition of the Chengguan garrison, Xu Yang put forward the slogan back then, they wanted to take the Gaochang country in front of them with the least casualties......

The deputy head of the marching road is a bald man, it is Biao Daguang who followed Xu Yang out of Youzhou at the beginning, this time the chengguan garrison team went to Goryeo, to put it bluntly, it is a unilateral military exercise of the Tang State, and some of the latest combat methods are realized, so that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are familiar with the latest battle plan, it can be said that the tragic Gaochang is a lamb to be slaughtered at the moment, and has become the sparring partner of the soldiers of the Tang State......

"General Wei Chi, the hot air balloon is ready, do you want to take it off now to spy on the situation in Gaochang City?" The Tang army camped in the big tent of the main general. Biao Daguang clenched his fists and asked Wei Chigong.

Hear the hot air balloon. Wei Chigong also raised his head. Although he is a fierce general, everyone says that he is brave and strategic, but he can survive on the battlefield of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, which is a stupid person, his honest appearance and short-tempered temper make everyone mistakenly think that he can only use brute force, but no one knows that in fact, his mind is also extremely meticulous, and his acceptance of new things is even higher than that of many veterans.

"Ben will see that the weather is sunny at this time. The wind and the sun are beautiful, it is a good time for the hot air balloon to take off, and the Ordnance Department will quickly take the hot air balloon into the air, and I will have to learn more about the defense situation in this Gaochang City! ”

"No!" Biao Daguang listened to the order and was about to leave the tent, when a herald hurriedly ran into the big tent and knelt down on one knee to report: "General Qiyu Weichi, Qu Wentai, the monarch of Gaochang State, heard that our soldiers were approaching the city, and he was scared to death!" ”

"What?" Wei Chigong looked at the herald in disbelief, and asked with a smile: "Do you know the crime of falsely reporting military information?" ”

The herald suddenly shuddered and said, "Return to the general." The little one will never dare to say anything, and the spies in front will report it. Yanqu Wentai will be buried on the day, the people of the country will gather in it, the small one will never be exaggerated, if there is a trace of falsehood, I am willing to be dealt with by military law! ”

When the generals who originally held a pre-war analysis meeting in the big tent heard this, they all rubbed their hands and said: "On the day of Qu Wentai's burial, his countrymen will gather outside the city, and our army will attack by surprise, and they will win the battle!" ”

Wei Chi Gong glanced at them, these generals were all sent by Li Er to exercise, many of them had never led soldiers before, and they didn't understand the strength of the Chengguan garrison.

When everyone was still excited, Wei Chigong coughed in his huge voice, and the voice in the big tent suddenly weakened, and those new generals looked at Wei Chigong expectantly.

"The Son of Heaven is rude to Gaochang, so he asks for it, and now he attacks people outside the ruins, and he is not a teacher who asks for guilt, and my city management team is invincible, and it is invincible, and it is impossible to conquer it.

Tiancheng is not far from Gaochang City, the population is not much, close to 10,000 people, the geographical location is also a military place, the city management garrison team under the command of Wei Chigong, the army dispatched, and soon the troops came to Tiancheng City.

The scene of artillery bombardment made many of the new generals sent by Li Er stunned, in less than an hour, without spending a single soldier, the artillery bombarded the gate of Tiancheng, Wei Chigong rode a tall horse, surrounded by the guards, the green onion gate entered Tiancheng, he enjoyed this way of fighting more and more, there was no need to meet each other at all, Datang only consumed some artillery ammunition, and he could win the battle one-sidedly.

After taking Tiancheng, the Tang City Guards did not continue to attack, but rested for two days, and in the two days, they were not idle, and they implemented various Nanshan Academies and new equipment built for them by the superintendent on a large scale.

The hot air balloon has been lifted into the air more than ten times, every time the soldiers who can go on the hot air balloon to spy on the military situation are elated, this kind of magic item that has never been seen but can send people to the sky, in the academy is known as the "Zhuge manned hot air balloon" is the prince of Li Tai and several big people in the academy jointly invented, this thing is like an artifact for the siege of the city, the battlefield on the plain, it is like an artifact, with a telescope, you can see the deployment of troops in the city or on the plain clearly, and the enemy does not know anything.

Professor Qin Qiong of the Military Academy of Nanshan Academy praised this manned hot air balloon even more, praising this thing as the first achievement weapon in the history of world warfare, I heard that he is now writing a paper on the importance of information warfare, which is mainly to discuss the hot air balloon, a sky weapon that dominates the sky to spy on military intelligence, and he is now working with the Ordnance Manufacturing College of Nanshan Academy to actively develop weapons and equipment in the field of sky, but it seems to be very difficult. Even though Prince Li Tai had used most of the resources of the academy, he still failed repeatedly when developing the aircraft that Xu Yang had mentioned.

There are many new weapons, and the steam tank car is also one of them, this expedition to Gaochang, Li Er only tentatively sent four steam tank cars, but the tragedy is that these four early steam cars did not reach their destination and struck halfway, and Wei Chigong also had to send maintenance personnel to send these four big guys back

After the rest is completed, the two days have passed, Wenqu Wentai's funeral has been completed, Wei Chi Gongnai commanded the army to go straight to Gaochang, after a skirmish at the airport, the army arrived at the city of Gaochang, forming a situation of encirclement of Gaochang City.

Wei Chigong was not in a hurry at the moment, the three-month march only ended in just a few days, which made him a little unhappy who had always loved the battlefield, so he ordered that a military parade was held under Gaochang City, and a large army was neatly doing all kinds of formation actions in Gaochang City, sometimes gathered, sometimes scattered, orderly, and disciplined, so that the soldiers defending the city on Gaochang City looked straight and their legs trembled.

The parade lasted for a day, and at dusk, Wei Chigong was still not satisfied, and ordered the bombardment of Gaochang City, so that these small countries that did not know how to respect the Tang Dynasty could learn the lesson they deserved.

After only half an hour of bombardment, the gates of Gaochang North City had become tattered and looked precarious, and Wei Chigong did not order to continue the attack, but ordered the gong to be withdrawn in the fearful eyes of those Gaochang people.

The next morning, Wei Chi's military parade began again, but before the parade was halfway through, he saw a man hanging down from the city wall with a basket.

The man crossed the drawbridge, shouted a letter in his hand, and ran over, apparently the messenger of the enemy, and Wei Chigong sent out a scout with a smile on his face and escorted the envoy over.

"This is a personal letter from the king of our country to General Wei Chi." The envoy didn't care to wipe the sweat from his cast, and respectfully handed the letter over.

The letter was written simply, but the meaning was very clear, and Wei Chigong read it softly: "If you offend the former king of the Son of Heaven, you will be punished by heaven, and your body will be dead." The voice of the throne has not been attacked for a few years, and I hope that the general will have mercy. ”

Wei Chi looked at it, the smile on his face was even better, and he felt for the first time what Xu Yang told him when he sent out the troops,

"Datang's army is the most powerful in the world, and we, who have firearms, want to make all countries admire and fear."

Wei Chigong snorted lightly and said to the envoy: "Go back and tell your king, order the city gate to be opened within one hour to welcome my Tang army, I could have considered sparing you from death." ”

When the little guy heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and bowed, and retreated back to the city in two steps and three steps, and after half an hour, the gate of Gaochang City, which was originally firmly guarded, was slowly lowered and fell heavily on the moat of Gaochang......
