908, turtle shell, hedgehog (below)

And when everyone heard this, they were all speechless for a while. Because if every city in Goguryeo is so strong, then I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty really doesn't have to attack this Goguryeo, and just go home and live a good life. And now that you can't pass the first level, what do you say about attacking next? Everyone's morale dropped for a while, and even Li Shimin sighed a little. And Jingwen saw this situation, and he had to come out to boost his morale.

"Your Majesty, in fact, things are not as difficult as we imagined. In fact, I think that this Goguryeo can survive that Liaodong City and Pyongyang can do this, and other cities are very poor. As long as we conquer Liaodong, it won't be too much of a problem. Now, we're just dealing with a turtle shell and a hedgehog. But if we smash the tortoise shell and pull out the thorns on the hedgehog, then we will win. This Liaodong City is actually the turtle shell of the entire Goguryeo, and if this turtle shell is smashed, then we will be able to eat turtle meat. And if we pull out the thorns of this hedgehog, then we will definitely be able to taste the hedgehog meat. ”

"Everyone is worried that every city in Goguryeo is so powerful, this is impossible. Because Goguryeo is a weak country no matter how it is, their national strength is not enough to support all the cities to be able to arm them in this way. They can only concentrate their forces on arming this Liaodong, that is, the first battle of our Central Plains offensive, and play the role of keeping the enemy out of the country. The second is to be able to arm Pyongyang and then make Pyongyang a guarantor of the capital's security. So we don't have to be afraid of anything at all, as long as we can conquer this Liaodong, that qiē will not be a problem. Therefore, as long as we concentrate our firepower to conquer Liaodong, then we will be able to level the river immediately, and we will be able to make great progress in the next one! ”

And everyone's face is much better, after all, if Goguryeo can only arm one city, then Datang can concentrate all its strength to conquer it, so that Datang can continue to move forward.

"But. How do we overcome it? The walls of this Liaodong city are made of bluestone, and it is still so high, we must spend a lot of troops and sacrifice a lot if we want to conquer it. As for them, in addition to the city wall, they also have a lot of rolling stone wood, this is a rolling stone wood that has been accumulated for decades, even if we rely on human life, it is not enough to consume their rolling stone wood. As for the ten thousand arrows that they exposed in the end, shooting hundreds of arrows at a time, this can be said to be an artifact. So what do we do? Who knows what else they will do for us! Someone said with a sigh.

Goguryeo's deployment in Liaodong City was simply frenzied. This Liaodong city is not only very high, but also very hard, can the city wall made of bluestone not be hard? The catapult smashed over with little effect, so don't expect the catapult to be able to conquer it. As for the many rolling stones and skulls that have accumulated for decades behind the city walls, I am afraid that human lives alone will not be enough for them to consume. As for the ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, it was hundreds of arrows at a time, and the losses were even heavier. And this kind of ten thousand arrows pierce the heart. The enemy does not yet know how many of these are there. Judging from the 10,000 arrows that were exposed just now, they already have no less than a dozen of these powerful crossbows, and the arrows shot out at one time are enough to consume a lot of human lives. If you don't solve this, it's simply not overcome.

So if you use the traditional method to siege the city. It really won't have much effect. The more than 100,000 troops sent by the Tang Dynasty were simply not enough for them to consume. This is also the reason why the Goguryeo people have nothing to fear, because after decades of accumulation, countless battle and defense materials have been accumulated in Liaodong City. Even if the enemy comes again with a million-strong army. It may not be able to consume them. This Liaodong City can be said to be the first line of Goguryeo against the Central Plains Dynasty, and they want to use it as a bridgehead to resist the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty, so that the Central Plains Dynasty cannot attack. Then you can keep the enemy out of the country.

"As I saw just now, their defensive methods are also based on their walls. Their rolling stone sassalwood needed the height of the walls to be smashed down, and so did their gold juice. And their ten thousand arrows piercing the heart also need the cover of the city wall to be able to fire. If the arrows pierce the heart without the cover of the walls, our crossbowmen and catapults will be able to suppress them, and they will not be able to shoot at each other. Therefore, all of their means were built on the city walls. Jingwen analyzed.

But someone asked, "But we just can't do anything about it!" ”

"As the saying goes, it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling, than to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle. One of their defensive means is also built on such an important city wall, so we might as well make a fuss about it. What do you think will happen if we forcibly tear down the city wall? Jingwen asked.

"Tear down the walls? How to dismantle? Will the enemy let us tear down the walls? How many people are we going to lose! Immediately a staff officer asked.

"You've all overlooked, don't we have something to tear down the walls?" Jingwen said sinisterly.

"Tear down the walls?"

On Liaodong City, Yuangai Suwen looked at the Tang army that had been delaying the attack, and snorted: "Those Tang troops seem to be poor in donkey skills. None of them came to attack, it seems that they have no confidence. This time, the Tang army was defeated and retreated in our hands, so our Goguryeo will win. ”

Yuangai Suwen was really confident this time, because the Tang army couldn't do much damage to this Liaodong City at all. Just now, those Xi and Ya people lost thousands of people, but Goguryeo lost no more than 30 people. This obviously gave Yuangae Suwen confidence, because the Goguryeo defenders in the city numbered tens of thousands. The tall walls of Guò are completely open, and there are plenty of equipment to defend the city, so it is not a problem at all.

"Okay, I'll go and rest, and you can defend the city. If the Tang army comes to attack, then we will defend according to the method just now. Anyway, I don't believe that Tang Jun can do anything to us! Yuangai Suwen said.

Then, Yuangai Suwen also returned to the Liaodong City City Lord's Mansion to rest, he was not worried about what problems would occur in Liaodong City this time. Anyway, in his opinion, he doesn't have to worry at all, the strength of the Tang Army is simply not enough to consume. Therefore, this war can be said to have been won by Goguryeo. And Yuangai Suwen was already dreaming, how could he go further. (To be continued......)
