Decades have passed, and on the quagmire that has swallowed countless Sui Dynasty soldiers, there are still a lot of white bones floating all over the field! Ancestors! No matter what future generations say about you, you are just an ordinary member of the crowd after all! Whether you are famous or not, you have the same purpose as me!

Win or lose, you are my Chinese children after all! Push up the daisies! Big things behind you! For you personally, you have endured too much and given too much, I can't let you be in the wilderness! Li Shimin, who was in a heavy mood, issued an edict: "...... When the Sui division crossed Liao, it was not Tianzan, from the sergeant, the bones looked at each other, all over the field, and it was good to lament. The righteousness of covering up the bones, honesty is the precedent, and its order is to collect the scabies (yi. "Rest in peace! Soldiers! I'll do what you haven't done! Rest in peace! Lonely souls! I will appease your vengeance!

Keep moving! On the third day of the fifth month, Li Shimin ordered Yan Lide, a master craftsman, to build a road out of the swamp! Yan Lide and Li Shiyun thought of going together - carrying sandbags! At this time, the emperor's six armies also turned into migrant laborers and began to pave dirt and pave roads on the boundless swamp! On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Li Shimin commanded the army into Liaoze!

Continue to collect the remains of the former Sui soldiers along the road! On the tenth day of the first month of May, Li Shimin commanded the army through Liaoze and came to the Liao River! Bridge! River! After the whole army crossed the river, Li Shimin ordered the bridge to be demolished! Compared with the former Sui soldiers, in addition to excellent generals and soldiers who are good at fighting, we also need morale more! Since we are here, we must have the confidence to win, and we must not have a fluke mentality! Rest assured! My mighty Tang Dynasty soldiers! I, Li Shimin, am with you! Don't give up! Ahead is Liaodong City,

Li Shimin encamped his army in Mashou Mountain (now Liaoyang Shoushan) in the southwest of Liaodong City! After setting up camp, Li Shimin couldn't wait to bring hundreds of cavalry to the front line, just two days ago, there had just been a fight here!

If you don't meet a strong enemy, how can you show a strong man! Two days ago, Li Daozong, as usual, led 4,000 cavalry to patrol under the city of Liaodong. Scouts come to report: Goryeo reinforcements are coming!

After learning that the Tang army had moved south to Liaodong City, Yuangai Suwen immediately reacted: mobilize 40,000 foot cavalry from Xincheng and Domestic City (near the Yalu River, near present-day Ji'an City, Liaoning) to aid Liaodong! Reinforcements from the inner city marched at a high pace. In about ten days, the long-distance rapid march of more than 1,300 miles, on the eighth day of the fourth month, arrived outside the city of Liaodong at the same time with reinforcements from Xincheng, and the two armies joined forces!

It's quite a big deal! Li Shichang immediately convened a military meeting! Report the enemy! At first glance I heard this. The generals began a heated discussion, and most of the generals agreed to strengthen the barracks defenses, dig a trench on the perimeter of the camp, and wait for the arrival of the emperor's own army before going to war with Goryeo!

After all, they have a point. When Li Shichang went abroad, he brought 60,000 horses, and after Xuansu and Gaimu were conquered, part of the troops were left to garrison on the spot; It is also necessary to leave a part of the army to watch the city to prevent the enemy troops in the city from leaving the city and the reinforcements from attacking inside and outside! The current shape shì is that the enemy is outnumbered, and the belly is defended by the enemy! There can be no war! But Li Daozong resolutely disagreed! He refuted the negative views of the defenders!

Actively ask for the initiative! He was confident that he would be able to repel this support army, even if it was only not completely annihilated! I want to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and suppress the morale of the Goryeo army! Sixteen years ago, I defeated the Tuyuhun army with a thousand horsemen! Nine months ago. I once led a hundred horsemen to go deep into the territory of Goryeo to spy on geographical information, and in the face of the heavy defense of Goryeo, it was like entering a no-man's land! Generals of the Goryeo reinforcements!

You won't be bored! You will soon see the demeanor of my Li Daozong! I'm going to give you a vivid lesson in the field! Li Daozong carefully analyzed the enemy situation: the advantage of the Tang army: waiting for work with ease - the Goryeo reinforcements are tired from afar! Disadvantages of the Tang Army: insufficient troops - but the advantages and disadvantages are only relative, not absolute! In some cases, strengths and weaknesses are interchangeable!

It is precisely because of my lack of troops that the reinforcements from Goryeo will inevitably have a mentality of underestimating the enemy! Underestimate the enemy! It's a big taboo for soldiers! Wise and courageous! Famous generals too! Li Daozong and the chief manager Zhang Junyi led their troops to rush to the enemy position! However, there is one person who is very ignorant of current affairs, and he actually rushed in front of the leader - Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Ma Wenju!

Ma Wenju has appeared twice in historical materials, and this is the second time. The date of his life and death is unknown! The story of his life is unknown! Career history unknown! But it was a rare opportunity to play. Will make us remember him! Ma Wenju shouted: "If you don't meet a strong enemy, how can you show a strong man!" "Ride your horse and go straight to the enemy's line! The history books record: "Whatever you want is beautiful".

There is this lifeless leader charging ahead! The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted! Li Daozong and Zhang Junyi then also rushed into the enemy formation, and the two armies immediately fought together! Although the morale of the Tang army was high, it could not stand the large number of people on the Goryeo side. Four thousand dozen forty thousand? It's so contemptuous of people! After fighting for a while, the Goryeo army calmed down from the chaos at the beginning, and it turned out that you had 4,000 people coming! It's too much of a bully!

The Goryeo army slowly stabilized its position and began to counterattack! In the fierce battle, the pressure of the Tang army gradually increased, and some people began to be unable to hold on! The first people who couldn't hold out turned out to be from the leadership. In the face of the flood of enemy troops, Zhang Junyi, the head of the march, was afraid! When people are afraid, they do things recklessly!

Zhang Junyi put military law behind him! I slipped away, turned around and ran! As soon as the leader ran, the soldiers were in chaos, and Zhang Junyi's troops all scattered and fled! Li Daozong, who was killing in the darkness of the enemy formation, saw this scene! Immediately feel the blood clotting! - Now that the bodies of both sides have reached the limit, whoever can support it will win! It's an endurance contest! Zhang Junyi is really damned!

Li Daozong didn't have time to find Zhang Junyi, and it was not easy to find him in the chaotic army! It's not easy to find one out of thousands of troops! But it's not hard to find his handsome banner! Li Daozong rode straight to Zhang Junyi's handsome banner, carried his handsome banner, intercepted the rout, and gathered them all together. The battle has reorganized a counterattack force!

Don't mess up! Famous generals too! Li Daozong galloped up to a nearby high ground, climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw signs of chaos in the Goryeo army array! Right now! As long as you inform Li Shiqian to lead the rear army to come again, the Goryeo reinforcements will break up and flee! But the fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, and if they wait for Li Shiyun to arrive, maybe the Goryeo army will have stabilized its position again or retreated by then! Don't miss the opportunity! Li Daozong only had a few dozen guards and cavalry around him! In times of crisis, Fang shows his true heroic qualities!

Li Daozong led the only dozens of cavalry around him, and swooped down again with the momentum of thunder from a high place, rushing left and right in the enemy formation, no one could stop him! Just when the 40,000 Goryeo reinforcements were tormented by Li Daozong, the rear army under the command of Li Shiqian also arrived at the battlefield and saw that Li Daozong had already stirred up the enemy army! Directly handsome flag! Wave your troops and fight your way! The reinforcements of Goryeo, who were already unbearable, saw a large number of Tang troops roaring over! Psychologically devastated! Defeat and flee!

The danger of reinforcements has been solved! Postwar. The three main figures in this battle were all duly rewarded: Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was rewarded by Taizong, Ma Wenju, the commander of Guoyi, was promoted to Zhonglang general (at least two levels higher), and Zhang Junyi, who escaped from the battle, was beheaded. Make an example of the army!

The Goryeo defenders standing at the head of Liaodong City watched their 40,000 troops being defeated by the Tang army in one fell swoop, and they saw the Tang army's field combat capabilities. The Tang army was fair and gave a vivid field lesson to the Goryeo reinforcements! They will not be partial, and they have also arranged a lesson for the defenders in the city - siege warfare! When Li Shimin came to Liaodong City, he saw a scene in full swing! Crowded, dusty! Every soldier became a coolie. Sweaty carrying sandbags to and from the trenches! They know that every sandbag they carry can reduce a few casualties! The Goryeo garrisons also knew that with every additional sandbag in the trench, they were one step closer to danger!

Li Shimin was moved! These ordinary soldiers, perhaps without lofty ideals, carry sandbags so desperately just to be able to survive the next battle! However, for Li Shimin, without them. He's nothing! Nothing can be done! Li Shimin put down the emperor's shelf and rode his horse to join the team carrying sandbags.

After the battle starts, whether you can survive or not, maybe I can't help you. I can only do what I can, and when I saw that someone was carrying a sandbag that was too heavy and too laborious, Li Shimin ran over and helped him share a part! Ride to the trenches! The retinue of ministers was surprised when they saw this scene! - The Emperor actually carried sandbags himself! There is no need to mobilize, hulala, a group of adults in purple robes and red robes also rolled up their sleeves one after another. Joined the Sandbag Army...... The trench has been filled! Let's fight! It is people, not weapons, that decide the outcome of a war.

However, the role of advanced weapons and equipment in the war cannot be denied! The terrifying stone thrower (called the stone thrower a cannon in the Tang Dynasty, also known as the general cannon or stone car) "offensive and defensive weapons." It's all like a cannon. The attacker has to use the art of artillery, and the city will be pulled out" "All cannons, sharp weapons in the army, attack and defend divisions are all used, and the defense should be heavy, and the line should be light.

Therefore, whirlwind, single tip, tiger squat. Teachers can use it, and the rules can be set up. "Wuhan Iron and Steel always wants the meaning of the latter paragraph: artillery is a sharp weapon in the army. Offensive, defensive, and field battles can all be used. Heavy artillery can be used to defend the city, and light artillery is best used in field battles.

Therefore, the whirlwind cannon, single-tip cannon, and tiger squat cannon can be used in field battles with the army, defending the city, and heavy artillery and light artillery! The Goryeo defenders in Liaodong City heard that the siege weapons brought by the Tang army included stone throwers, so they thought of two brilliant ways to restrain the Tang army's stone throwers - nets; Build a building!

Netting: It is to use a very thick rope to form a fishing net, which is supported at the head of the city to cushion the impact of stone bullets and reduce the destructive force! Building Buildings: It is to use giant trees to build war towers at the head of the city, which are used to block stone bullets from directly hitting the city wall or soldiers!

When the battle began, they realized that it was better to be killed by stone bullets than to build these things! The drums of the Tang army's attack have sounded, and the defenders in Liaodong City are already ready on the city wall, and the arrows, crossbows, and rolling stones are ready, come on! The defenders are waiting for the Don army to come and climb the wall! But after waiting for a long time, no one came!

But suddenly there was a hissing sound like a meteor falling from the sky, from far and near! The defenders, who were wondering in their hearts, looked up and saw a scene that made them tremble: huge boulders fell from the sky and went straight to the wall! The boulder flew in with a piercing hiss of rubbing against the air! Pierce the fishing net and roar down! The battle tower and the city wall are "all destroyed"! Dust, rubble, and flesh everywhere! The Goryeo defenders were shocked and shouted out the alias of the Tang Army's stone thrower: Thunderbolt! Terrifying stone thrower! Let's go back and see what the Thunderbolt cannon in the mouth of the Goryeo Army really looks like! At that time, the Don military uniform

In addition to the above three types of light guns, there are also double-tip guns, five-tip guns, seven-tip guns and other heavy guns. In this way, it may be too specialized, then I will explain the difference between light artillery and heavy artillery equipped with the Tang Army in simple words! The cannon of the Tang Dynasty was actually a stone thrower, which was a long-range offensive equipment that used the principle of leverage to throw stone projectiles or fireballs. You can feel the principle of lever projectile in this way: find a chopstick, pinch one end tightly with one hand, and then use the other hand to push and pull the other end of the chopsticks in a vertical direction, and suddenly let go, this end will eject rapidly. That's about it.

The difference between the so-called heavy artillery and light artillery is mainly these three points: the number of people who pull (accumulated strength), the firing range and the weight of the stone projectile. The number of people dragged by the whirlwind cannon, the single-tip cannon, and the tiger squat cannon is less than 70 people, the firing range is only 50 steps, and the weight of the stone bullet is only more than ten catties, which belongs to light artillery. The number of double-pinned cannons, five-pinned cannons, and seven-pinned cannons is more than 100 people, the firing range is at least 50 steps, and the weight of stone projectiles can reach 100 catties, which is a heavy artillery. The Tang army belonged to fighting abroad, and it needed to travel long distances and pass through boundless swamps, and according to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", it should carry light artillery.

It is a pity that the supreme commander of this army is the current saint Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin didn't even bring a heavy artillery, the most powerful heavy cannon just mentioned was a seven-pin cannon, which required 250 people to pull and pull, the firing range was 50 steps, and the weight of the stone bullet was about 100 catties! So what did he bring with him? What have been built in Anluo Mountain? Let's take a look at the parameters of the Tang Army stone thrower now displayed outside Liaodong City: Range: 300 steps! Stone bullet: 300 pounds! Is this heavy artillery? It's a meteor cannon!

We have come all the way, we can't hide it, we have to come up with some decent advanced weapons, so that our subjects can also have a long experience! The Goryeo garrisons have no heart to learn advanced technology, so it's important to save their lives! The city walls are unreliable, and the war towers

If you can't rely on it, if you can't rely on the fishing nets, and if you can't rely on the general, then rely on God to bless. There is a "** (Goguryeo Founder) Shrine" in Liaodong City, and it is rumored that as long as you use beautiful women to serve **, and you are happy to serve, Liaodong City can be worry-free! Look at the current posture, don't say **, even the gods don't work. (To be continued.) )
