Chapter 63 The earth and landslide will be attacked by fire
Anshi City couldn't be captured, Li Er was a little angry, and even his mouth was foaming, and it hurt as soon as he ate.
However, there is only one good news on the front line, that is, those people who originally insulted Li Er on the city wall were actually shot by the junior general Xue Rengui with a sniper rifle, and no one dared to stand on the city tower to provoke the majesty of Li Er's majesty, because what was waiting for them was a missile that flew from nowhere and sent them directly to the western sky.
For this white-robed young general Xue Rengui, Li Er was overjoyed, holding the hand of this young general in the big tent of the barracks, and felt a lot of emotion, what the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, what kind of talents came out of the country, etc., the appreciation and love for this young general is beyond words, and he was more excited than Liu Bei and Zhao Zilong, and he couldn't sleep.
In Li Er's original words, it is "I am all old, and I think of the new brave generals, who are not as good as Qing, I don't like Liaodong, I am happy to be Qing!" ā
It is said that among the rising stars who are brave and good at fighting, there is no one who can compare with you, I am not happy to recover the lost territory of Liaodong, I am happy to get you! ā
The affection can be seen.
Xue Rengui is also a five-good young man who loves the country and the emperor, and his determination to express his loyalty to Li Er made Li Erlong Yan Dayue and was named the left vanguard of the marching road......
It's a happy thing to get the available talents, but how can life be smooth, after the good news, the bad news really comes one after another.
The army is outside, and the daily consumption of food is a huge amount, even if it brings a lot of compressed food invented by Nanshan Academy, it is still a little stretched compared to the huge number of troops. Nothing was a big problem in a short period of time though. But an emperor like Li Er always likes to plan ahead. Food is like a clockwork that constantly urges him to hurry, making him think about it day and night.
Another bad news, entering October, the weather in Liaodong took a sharp turn, and the sun was still in the sky when the expedition was launched, but now, after a rain, the temperature of the entire Goryeo Peninsula seems to have suddenly entered late autumn from midsummer. Without warning, the temperature began to get cooler.
The army of the Tang people still doesn't feel anything, most of them just feel a little cooler when they sleep at night, but once the time drags into November, the weather in Goryeo at that time will be a disaster, and Emperor Yang of Sui has already used three practical actions to verify what a terrible opponent Goryeo who occupies the sky.
At this time, the two surrendered Goryeo generals, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, became outright 'high traitors', and the two of them actually said to Li Erjian that they didn't have to spend time in Anshi City. You can take the Black Bone City first, because the leaders of the Black Bone City are all old men. It's useless, they can defend the city with these old men, and the Tang army relies on the kind of heavenly thunder cannon that can make an earth-shattering sound, but it can be defeated in a battle. Once the Black Bone City is taken, the small cities behind will inevitably fall by the wind, and even if they don't, they will inevitably flee when they hear the wind. The Tang army could collect their supplies, grain and grass, and then march into Pyongyang in one go, and the city of Pyongyang would be difficult to hold.
This meaning is similar to the meaning of Li Daozong's original mention to Li Er.
This meaning is also correct, and it is very, very ingenious, the Tang army can not only get rid of the current depressed status quo, but also take a number of small cities behind without abandoning the soldiers, solve the problem of insufficient food and grass for the army of the Eastern Expedition, and take Pyongyang, it is not impossible, how good.
Because it was good, all the generals naturally raised their hands in agreement.
Those ministers also believed that Comrade Zhang Liang, the commander-in-chief of the third-echelon naval army, was now in Shacheng, and if they were recruited, then they would be able to arrive at night, take advantage of the panic in Goryeo, take the city of black bones, cross the Yalu River, and take Pyongyang.
The success or failure of the Eastern Crusade is in one fell swoop.
Seeing that everyone agreed and supported it, Li Er also said OK,
But such a good ploy was turned yellow because of one person's opposition, and the dishes were stopped.
This person is the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji objected, and he couldn't stop cooking.
Many times, everyone agrees with many things, but as long as the eldest grandson Wuji is against it, it won't work out.
Xu Yang once said to Liu Mengli in private that the eldest grandson Wuji, an old guy, has a thick foundation, high merits, and is Li Er's confidant, if the court chooses the only person who can be trusted, Li Er will definitely choose him.
History has proven again and again Li Er's trust in his eldest grandson.
For example, all the ministers wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince, but the eldest grandson Wuji opposed it, but the opposition was effective, and Li Er made Li Zhi the crown prince;
For example, Li Er and some ministers wanted to make Li Ke the crown prince, but the eldest grandson Wuji opposed it, but the opposition was effective, and Li Ke had no relationship with the prince from then on;
Now, everyone, including Li Er, advocates temporarily abandoning Anseong City and crossing the Yalu River to directly attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo, but Changsun Wuji still opposes it, but the opposition is effective, and a perfect opportunity to destroy Goguryeo is gone.
Why is the eldest grandson Wuji always opposed to validity?
In addition to the trust of the bare ass from playing from childhood to adulthood, Li Er thinks that what he said is still very reasonable.
"His Majesty's personal expedition to Goryeo, and the general generals and commanders are definitely different, you can't take risks, you can't win by luck, now Jian'an City, Xincheng still have 100,000 Goryeo troops, if we move to Wugu City, these 100,000 Goryeo troops will definitely chase our butts and beat, we might as well first capture Anshi City, occupy Jian'an City, and then drive straight into Pyongyang, this is the best strategy." This is the construction of the eldest grandson Wuji, you are a golden body, and it is really unwise to do something extremely risky to sneak attack after going around, or it is right to honestly fight down step by step.
Twenty years ago, or ten years ago, Li Er had already copied the guy and killed Pyongyang, because he was too young at that time.
And now, Li Er is thirty-four years old, thirty-four years old, has gradually faded the impulse of youth, and has become more calm, no matter how many Koreans he kills, as long as the other party can hurt himself, it is a big victory, so Li Er is also unwilling to take this risk from the bottom of his heart, and in the end, this Jian YƬ is still stillborn.
However, Li Er treated the two surrendered Goryeo generals kindly, and after praising them, he also named Gao Yanshou as Honglu Siqing and Gao Huizhen as Sinong Siqing. It seems that in any era, those who do 'X rape' seem to have obtained immediate benefits.
For the siege of Anshi City, the west and south of Anshi City were the key breakthroughs, the west side of Anshi City was in charge of Li Ji, the south side was in charge of Li Daozong, and Li Er was responsible for the command and coordination of the whole army.
In the southeast corner of the city, Li Daozong led his subordinates to build a mountain of earth in an attempt to give the Tang army a condescending advantage.
Later, Li Daozong's earth mountain approached the city wall of Anshi faster and faster.
The earth mountain was one foot higher, and the defenders of Anshi City immediately worked overtime to raise Anshi City by two feet.
This is the real fucking arms race.
The two armies lined up and did nothing, just competing with each other to see who piled up the high walls, and the whole thing was about the same momentum as the Winter Olympics, although it was not winter.
After Li Daozong learned that the Goryeo people were also guarding the city, he was angry, and once led 20,000 soldiers to forcibly attack the city, leaving more than 2,000 corpses under the city tower, which was shocking, and the closest thing to conquering was to use the car artillery to knock open the battlements of the city wall of Anshi City, but before the reinforcements approached the city wall, the Goryeo army in the city blocked the gap with a wooden railing.
More than 2,000 people died, this is not a small number, Li Er saw that there was no hope of forcibly attacking the city, and he continued to order the construction of the earth mountain, once the earth mountain was built, the artillery position was arranged on it, and the city wall of Anshi City was bombarded for days, Li Er did not believe that the most powerful artillery in the Tang Dynasty could not help this city.
However, in order to build the project of Tushan, Li Daozong suffered a lot, and later sprained his foot, and after receiving the news, Li Er also came to help him with acupuncture.
The earth mountain is being built day by day, Li Er is also full of joy, now looking at the situation, 20,000 people are working hard for a day, and the earth mountain can be piled up a few meters higher, and the artillery can almost bombard the city wall of Anshi City.
However, at this time, an urgent report came from Chang'an, and Li Er unfolded it and saw Xu Yang's crooked handwriting.
"If the earth and landslide collapse, use fire to attack, and a thousand barrels of fire oil in the Western Regions will be used to solve the problem in front of you............ (To be continued......)
