Chapter 52: All-out Attack

"In August of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the commander-in-chief of the field army and the political commissar of Henan County, Li Daozong, the king of Liaoshui City, was in Liaoshui City, and it was not an easy task to cross Liaoshui, and the Goryeo sticks since the Sui Dynasty occupied Liaodong, they continued to build cities and fortifications, in the second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's urban management brigade in Silla taught Yuan Gai Suwen to do a person, this Lao Yuan went back and was particularly afraid of the firearms of the Tang Dynasty, and suffered from no way to deal with it, so he built the Great Wall of more than 1,000 miles along the Liaoshui with a bow and snake shadow, In addition, the direction of Liaoshui and the Great Wall of Liaoshui is roughly the same, which constitutes a natural barrier and is placed in front of the Chengguan Brigade ......" - "The Great Tang Dynasty"......

"Report! General Qiyu, forty miles ahead is the Great Wall of Liaoshui! A spy on horseback interspersed left and right from the advancing army, and finally walked not far from Li Daozong to report.

With a wave of his hand, Li Daozong showed a satisfied look, "The biography will order!" Camped! ”

"The general has an order, set up camp!" The heralds, dressed in chain mail, repeated Li Daozong's orders over and over again in the army.

The long marching procession, at this time, did not have the slightest feeling of being overwhelmed, and every soldier began to disassemble the equipment on his body in an orderly and orderly manner, and began to look for firewood on the ground, set up camp, and make a fire for cooking.

Looking at those soldiers, Li Daozong's expression became more and more relaxed, leading the troops to fight for half his life, and only after countless battles, large and small, can he know what this order in front of him means to the army.

Thinking of this, Li Daozong smiled and said to the mustachioed military master beside him: "I heard that the students of Nanshan Academy are all dragons and phoenixes in individuals, and the sergeants of the Chengguan garrison are all tigers and wolves. See you in the future. Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”

The mustache next to him also hurriedly smiled: "General, your eldest son Chongyi is also studying in Nanshan Academy now. In the future, he will also be the dragon and phoenix among the people and the pillar of the country. General, you personally command the army, and naturally you are also the army of tigers and wolves. ”

There was obviously a flattering taste in the mustache's words, although Li Daozong's face did not have any expression, but his next tone betrayed the joy in his heart, "Hahaha, Master Meng said that he was incompetent, and he didn't read anything famous in the academy until now." This time the general went on an expedition to thank His Majesty for blessings. ”

After the two of them were polite again, Li Daozong seemed to remember something, and asked the quartermaster in charge of military affairs and food on the side: "Now that we have troops in the city, can the logistics supply keep up?" ”

"Returning to the general, not only did the soldiers each carry half a month's rations, but each ten-captain in the marching army carried a cloth bag, which was the newly developed compressed rations of the academy, enough for ten people to eat for three days, plus the grain and grass hoarded in Youzhou, the general didn't have to worry."

Although the distribution of grain and grass has long been known. But listening to this report from the quartermaster again still made Li Daozong refreshed, and compressing food was really a good thing. Soaking in a helmet, just a small piece can make a big pot of porridge, and a soldier only needs to carry one pack, which is enough for a person's ration for half a month, and there is no need to worry about the enemy's sneak attack on grain and grass.

"Where's Captain Mighty Tiger?" Li Daozong asked the quartermaster again.

"Returning to the general, Captain Weihu is placing artillery and siege equipment." The quartermaster said, pointing to the back of the army.

"Tell him to come to me as soon as he sets up his equipment."

"No!" ……

"The last general will see the general!" A middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing armor, looked very imposing, and saluted Li Daozong, who was riding on a horse, with his fists in his fist.

"Captain excuse me." Li Daozong stepped down from his horse, helped the sword with accessories at his waist, and asked the middle-aged man, "Are the artillery and siege equipment all right?" ”

"Returning to the general, there are fifty-five siege catapults, one damaged on the road, a total of one hundred and twenty artillery pieces, none of them were damaged, but this time there were not many shells, only 3,000." The middle-aged man said with a straight look.

"Good!" Li Daozong clapped his hands, after the army rested tomorrow, he will send troops in full force, and he will want the Goryeo people on the city wall to see the power of my Tang artillery! ”……

From the moment he saw the army of the Tang people, Du Jun lived in fear all the time, and he wanted to escape, but the heads of the three deserters hanging on the city tower forced him to stop this thought.

In the military camp of Goryeo, there are always some terrifying legends, from the mouths of those veterans who have gone to Silla, the recruits will hear about a weapon called the Heavenly Fire Meteor, as the word of mouth spreads, the power of this weapon is more and more exaggerated, at first it was just the Tang army using flint throwing attacks, and in the end it was the Tang sorcerer who was able to summon the Fire Meteor to smash his enemies.

Du Jun never believed the rumors in the mouth of the veteran, but this does not mean that he will not be afraid and afraid, looking at the endless camp of the Tang people forty miles away, Du Jun felt a tingling of his scalp, he has only been in the army for less than a year, he has never been on the battlefield, and the first time he faces the war, he will inevitably be terrified in his heart.

"What do you think?" A rough voice sounded from behind Do Jun, startling him.

When I turned my head to look, I realized that it was Gan Dasha.

"Brother Gan......" Du Jun scratched his head a little curtly.

Gan Fuxing stood on the edge of the city wall, looking at the Tang army camp stationed on the side of Liaoshui, the sun had slowly sunk in the west at this time, and the torches in the Tang army were already faintly visible, looking at this atmosphere did not look like the eve of the Great War at all, as if it was just a bonfire party in the wild.

"Brother Gan, you and I are in the army together, to be honest, are you afraid?" Du Jun stepped forward and stood on the city tower with him, looking at the Tang army not far away, stars had already appeared in the sky, and the dusk sun could no longer support the afterglow, and finally disappeared on the horizon.

Gan Fuxing didn't speak, just stared at the military camp in the distance, the stars in the sky appeared in the sky, and occasionally a few meteors crossed by, his voice was stiff and hoarse, "I'm afraid, because, many people will die tomorrow...... ......

When the first rays of light in the morning sprinkled on the mottled city wall, Du Jun woke up, in fact, he didn't sleep well last night, after all, he was afraid that the Tang people would sneak attack at night, General Guorong ordered all the soldiers guarding the city to cheer up and prevent the Tang people from sneaking up after night, so yesterday all night, the soldiers on the city tower were spent between half dreaming and half waking up.

Obviously, General Guorong misjudged the Tang army's plan this time, and it was not until the sun broke through the clouds and the sky was already bright that he could see the soldiers in the Tang people's camp gathering from a distance, and they must have slept very sweetly last night.

Picking up the crossbow arrow in his hand, Du Jun felt that he was no longer afraid at this time, what are the Tang people, the land behind him is all Goryeo, even if he dies, he must defend the land of Goryeo.

All the soldiers were on the city walls, ready for a bitter battle today......

"What? Gaimu City has been captured by General Li Ji?! Li Daozong jumped in the big tent, he still didn't react, obviously Li Ji was going to take the waterway, the distance was farther than himself, not to mention, the generals under his command were also some sailors, but in such a short period of time, he took down the Gaimu City near the sea in Goryeo, which is simply incredible.

"Back to ...... Returning to the general. The little slave who ordered the herald seemed to be a little afraid and said: "General Li Ji also dragged a word to you, that is, you slowly negotiate with them on the Liaoshui Great Wall, and wait until General Li Ji breaks through the entire territory ......of Goryeo, and then join forces with the general inside and outside" Before the words of the little guy were finished, he was kicked far away by Li Daozong.

"This Li Ji is so fucking bold, even Lao Tzu dares to be sarcastic." Although Li Daozong was scolding, there was a joy in his tone, his old buddy became more and more capable of fighting, and he was happy for him.

"Pass the order of the general, the artillery siege vehicles are all ready, and the whole army gives the order to attack! Lao Tzu is leading the most elite troops in the whole Tang Dynasty, and this time he must not fall behind Li Ji's kid! Li Daozong waved his fist excitedly and said...... (To be continued......)
