Just captured the city of Anshi, which has plagued the Tang army for many days, but encountered such a thing, the face of the Tang army up and down is not good-looking, standing on the city tower blowing the north wind, no one spoke for a while, outside the city gate, there are only more than a thousand red gourd teams hurriedly collecting the corpses. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

After a while, the officer of the Xuanjia Army climbed the city tower, knelt on one knee, and respectfully started under Li Shimin's eyes: "Back to Your Majesty, the Huaizhen army has lost more than 2,300 casualties, the army is in a big rout, and it is being retracted. ”

"Cowardly, what kind of battle is Ashina Sheer fighting, you can let people serve it silently!" The grumpy Chang He was the first to scold, and then Liu Hongji and Zhang Shigui also followed suit, Li Ji looked at the messy camp thoughtfully, and Li Shimin himself was also irritable, and his fist holding the city bricks burst out.

Only Li Jie looked into the distance with doubts, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, the battle of Anshi City had just ended, and he started at this time, and that old guy probably had been planning for a long time, but he really didn't expect that he didn't even have time to rest.

"What is King Shuo thinking?"

Li Ji suddenly asked, which made Li Jie stunned, and then asked the Xuanjia officer who came to report: "What are the casualties of the Goguryeo people, have the corpses, war horses, and decorations left at the scene been surveyed, which Goguryeo army did it?" ”

These words attracted Li Shimin and the generals to pay attention to the past, so many big people looked at themselves with burning eyes, even the battle-hardened Xuanjia officers couldn't help but sweat on their backs, and Nuo Nuo replied: "Back to King Shuo, no Goguryeo corpses were found at the scene, and the casualties of the other party are unknown, and it is not clear whose people and horses did it." ”

Li Shimin and others who said this frowned again, although it was said that the Goguryeo people took away the corpses, but in a short period of time raids, they could calmly take away the corpses of the dead, on the one hand, the elite were good at fighting, on the other hand, the Goguryeo people were killed very rarely, and there was such an elite enemy army who was good at running nearby, and everyone was uneasy.

"Immediately gather the army, set up a large camp in the northeast of Anshi City, dig a trench, and the cavalry will be fully scattered to the northeast, and quickly convene the generals and the imperial meeting!" After being silent, Li Shimin decisively opened his palm and ordered loudly.

"Your Majesty, Na'an City? Do you want to fix it? After hesitating for a moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was in charge of logistics, asked again, this time, Li Shimin also hesitated, and secretly looked at Li Jie twice, and then waved his hand.

"Ruined this Anshi City!"

Anshi City is located between two valleys, build a city with stones, the north and south city walls are piled up along the hillside, it is really precipitous, and it also cuts off the passage between this place and the Marudu area, the passage between the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong, to fight the Goguryeo defenders, either the north goes around the long road, takes the desolate Baishan Road, or goes south to go to Jian'an City, both roads are far away and rugged, gnaw the hard bone of Anshi City, for the Tang Army, it is also a last resort.

Now that the offensive of the Goguryeo army is imminent, and now the city of Anshi has been completely ruined, the nearby residents have either fled far away, or they have been killed and wounded in the brutal siege battle, and the Tang army that pursued out will definitely not be many defenders of Anshi City.

There is such a Goguryeo army that is good at sneak attacks, once it bypasses the main force of the Tang Dynasty and sneaks under the city of Anshi, the Tang army is in danger of being cut off, and the dilapidated city wall of Anshi City also causes trouble for the passage of military materials, which can't help but make Anshi City become a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it without taste.

The only problem is that Anshi City is the southern territory that Li Shimin promised Li Jie, and Li Shimin said that it would be demolished so arbitrarily, in this regard, the eldest grandson Wuji, who knew about it, looked back helplessly again, but Li Jie did not have a trace of expression.

The construction is difficult, but the destruction is easy, in half an afternoon, the original standing city wall of Anshi City was demolished by more than 10,000 Goguryeo surrender troops, and the 20,000 Tang army pioneers were also expanded on the camp of the original Huaizhen army, and the deep trenches were dug out of many old ones, and the barracks were also connected into pieces.

In the west of Anshi City, in the original Tang Army camp, there was a dead silence at the meeting of senior officers in front of the Imperial Army, and no one dared to easily assert that the map of Anshi City leading to the north and south of Goguryeo was almost worn out by the baton, staring at the rolling hills, everyone was frowning, this battle was not easy to fight.

In the two months of winter, I chose to besiege Anshi City, on the one hand, because it was indeed too hard, and the Tang army itself could not accept the losses under the strong attack, on the other hand, the rolling hills behind Anshi City were also a headache, and the transportation of supplies and troops was a big problem.

Li Jie was also depressed, in his previous thoughts, he was threatened by himself not to support Anshi City, the best choice of Yuangai Suwen was the exit of the hilly area, the area around the ancient city of Xuancheng Qiansheng was fortified, the Liaohe River Valley, which was the most densely populated and the most perfect agricultural development, was lost, and the supply capacity of Yuangai Suwen was not comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, and the difficulty of supplying the hilly area was lost to the Tang Dynasty, leaning on the grain of the Songnen Plain behind him, while constantly attacking the supply line of the Tang army, Yuangai Suwen could fight with ease.

Why is there no need to fight a war of attrition with Datang in such a difficult terrain, right?

Anshi City, Jilin Hills, Marudu Region, Yalu River Ferry, a series of terrain is constantly filtered in Li Jie's mind, looking at the rivers flowing through the mountains and plains, Li Jie's brows are twisted into Sichuan characters.

Could it be that Gai Suwen is fighting a suspicious tactic? Just a small army came to startle the snakes, let the Tang army march step by step, and deliberately slow down the Tang army's march, so as to make full preparations in the area of Qiansheng Bone City?

However, even if the combat power of the western Goguryeo army is higher than that of the eastern Goguryeo army, which has been neglected for a long time, and can have this combat power to defeat the cavalry of the Tang army in one fell swoop, it is not the elite cavalry that Yuangai Suwen used in the domestic city, the Fire Ukrainian Army! That night, Li Jie was deeply impressed, and the thousands of fire Ukrainian troops were stunned to defeat the army of Gao Yanshou who was more than ten times more than his own.

This army is amazing, it is an elite standing army inherited from the period of King Anmin Haotai of Goguryeo, all the children of nobles, well-equipped, military tradition followed the famous good king in Goguryeo history to fight countless battles in the south and north, went south to the Korean Peninsula, recovered the Pyongyang city occupied by Baekje, broke the original Hansan Fortress of Baekje, that is, Seoul in later generations, and oppressed Silla.

To Liaodong, it was during the period of the Five Hu Rebellion that the Xianbei people were invincible in the Central Plains, destroying countless countries, and the former Qin overlords were all defeated, and the Xianbei people were defeated by this army several times in the former Yan of Liaodong's homeland, and later under the planning of the good prince, they destroyed the former Yan, annexed the former Yan Han people, Xianbei people and other hundreds of thousands of people, which laid the later territory of Goguryeo.

This is still far away, a while ago with the Silla battle, broke the Silla holy bone Park Yongsheng tens of thousands of troops, and the Silla once again cried and shouted to the Tang Dynasty for help It is this army, just because of the fire Ukrainian army and the more than 100,000 troops in the western part of the kingdom who have been fighting in Baekje Silla all the year round, Yuangai Suwen has the strength to kill the old forces of the ministers who support the king of Rongliu, kill the king of Rongliu and control the government of Goguryeo.

But such an army that is also very important in a political sense, is Yuangai Suwen willing to let them go and go deep into the tenfold Tang army alone?

The biggest strategic means is to make the enemy unable to see through, obviously, Li Jie is currently very sad to fall into this field, left and right can not make up his mind, and he is also confused by a large group of high-IQ generals in the Tang Dynasty, just when everyone is thinking and meditating, suddenly the herald outside the tent hurriedly came in, knelt on one knee on the ground and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, find the traces of the Goguryeo army!" ”

"Oh? Where? Number? Trend? Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, the eldest grandson Wuji Li Ji and a large group of people had already asked, Li Shimin himself didn't care about a pair of sharp eyes, and the herald immediately reported loudly: "Pinggang Mountain, thirty miles outside Anshi, is definitely the main force of the Goguryeo people in the west, and the camp occupies more than ten miles, at least more than 100,000 people!" ”

"Yuangai Suwen, he's crazy?" Li Jie couldn't help but cry out in surprise first.

War is not comparable to the number of people, even if combat effectiveness is sometimes not the first element, this move is equivalent to sticking to the current Tang army's doorstep to fight, backed by Anshi City, the Tang army can fight as much as it wants, even if it holds the semi-encirclement of Anshi City, the army sneaks up on the rugged and difficult grain road in the mountains of the Goguryeo people, and can easily destroy him, don't you see that the 400,000 Zhao army in the Battle of Changping is destroyed by a mere 5,000 Qin troops to cut off the grain road light soldiers?

"Don't care if Yuan Gai Suwen is crazy or not, you should beat his mother at this time!" Compared with Li Jie's consternation, it was Chang He's loud voice that shouted first, and then Li Ji also nodded again and again, and Li Shimin said: "That's right, Your Majesty, no matter what the old thief of Yuangai Suwen is thinking about, at this time, the army is here, and now it is an excellent fighter, please march quickly, no matter what tricks Yuangai Suwen plays, the disadvantage of the location can also give our army a chance of seven layers, and it can't escape the eyes of the minister!" ”

"That's what I mean." couldn't help nodding, waved his hand and pressed the generals who were about to move, Li Shimin immediately cleared his throat and ordered loudly: "Send an order to Wei Gong Li Jingbu, let him speed up his advance to Anshi City, advance quickly, and then send an order to the whole army, prepare for battle tonight, and fight tomorrow, and the British Duke Li Ji will command the whole army." ”

"Command!" Kneeling on one knee excitedly, Li Ji immediately stood up proudly again, took over the command and ordered loudly: "Tomorrow, the troops of the King of Jiangxia will go out of the left road and stick to the right side of the Goguryeo camp, Li Jie, the head of the march of Fuyu Road, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, you two will lead your troops out of the right road and stick to the left side of the Goguryeo army, and the right guard general Xue Wanche and Ru will lead the cavalry to go around the long road and outflank the rear of the Goguryeo army within three days, and be sure to cut off its grain route and hold the retreat of the Goguryeo army!" ”

"The rest of the ministries will stick to the Goguryeo army in front of Ben Justice, and never let go of the Goguryeo army!"

"Whoa!" Neat fists to receive the order, more than a dozen generals present suddenly received the order, turned around and went out in the chaotic sound of the nail leaf shaking, and soon, the Tang army camp moved chaotically.

Among so many generals, only Li Jie took the easiest, his Wuyuan Army has not recovered until now, and the main force is still resting and training in Jinzhou Port, where there are only light troops in their early 2,000s, and it is estimated that Zhang Jian is also going to join in the fun.

It's just that along the way, Li Jie hasn't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd in Yuangai Suwen's hand, and he doesn't want his old nest in Pyongyang anymore? You must know that behind Goguryeo, there is a capricious Silla and a bitter Baekje staring at it!

Just when Li Jie was puzzled and swayed back to the camp, there was a commotion at the gate of the camp, which made Li Jie suspicious and ordered someone to ask, and after a while, a grinning and smiling face came to him.

"Hehe, I've seen King Shuo, my Lao Li is here to report again!"

"Why are you here?" Looking at Li Jingye's smiling face that returned to Li Jijun after the battle in Huashan, Li Jie immediately scratched the back of his head with a headache .......
