On the top of the tower of Liaodong City, Yuangai Suwen, who was put back by the Tang Dynasty, looked at the camp of the Tang Dynasty army in the distance and sneered. And after Yuangai Suwen heard the words of where Datang was going to fall and where to get up, he obviously didn't take it seriously at all. And this time, the defense of Liaodong City will be personally served by him, so of course he is very confident that he can defend against the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

Back then, Yizhi Wende was able to resist the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty in this Liaodong city, and Yuangai Suwen himself thought that he should be able to do it. This time, Datang is only 100,000 troops, and he can completely defend it. Yuangai Suwen looked down on Eokzhi Wende very much, thinking that he was just a fluke. And now he thinks that he doesn't have to be worse than Yizhi Wende, so he also wants to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can accumulate political capital for himself. And when Eulji Wende was able to defeat the attack of the Sui Dynasty and then become the prime minister of Goguryeo, he could do it himself.

As long as he can defeat the attack of the Tang Dynasty, Na Yuan Gai Suwen is the undoubted heir of the prime minister of Goguryeo. At that time, he can directly inherit the position of prime minister of Goguryeo, and even let him go further. If he can build up his prestige through this war, he may be able to make himself the real de facto ruler of Goguryeo in the future, and not just a prime minister. When the time comes, he will be the regent, and it is not impossible to go even further. And this qiē is all about defeating the Tang Dynasty.

"General, Liaodong City is better now than it was many years ago. The walls are higher, and the various defensive facilities are also better, so that we can completely defeat the attack of the Tang Dynasty! A Goguryeo soldier said.

The current Liaodong City has learned from the experience of the Sui Dynasty and knows that it is necessary to quickly strengthen the city wall and build various defense facilities. And the current Liaodong City is stronger and taller than when Emperor Yang of Sui attacked, which is simply not comparable to the past. In the past, the defense facilities of Liaodong City were relatively poor, but now it has become a strong city. If Datang wants to break it, it is impossible to break it without the power of the whole country.

"Hmph, unless Datang concentrates the strength of the whole country to attack. Otherwise, it is impossible to break through. And Datang is currently only more than 100,000 people, and it is not able to break through Liaodong at all! Yuangai Suwen said disdainfully.

Yuangai Suwen actually obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, if it was to attack the city according to the method in the past, and if the Tang army was still a pure cold weapon army, it would indeed take the strength of the whole country to be able to conquer it. And at that time, the Tang army will inevitably have to pay a lot of costs to conquer it, after all, this is a strong city. And from the original history, it also shows that in the original history, when Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, Li Ji also concentrated the strength of the whole country to conquer Liaodong, and then it was very smooth. Therefore, Liaodong City is actually already a city second only to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and its defense capability is very strong.

This is where Yuangai Suwen was given confidence, because the Tang Dynasty army was only more than 100,000 people. Therefore, it is impossible for the Tang army to conquer this Liaodong city. And Yuangai Suwen didn't know that Datang had been changed by Jingwen, and had gradually changed from a pure cold weapon unit to a unit with a certain artillery. Although artillery has not been able to be popularized in a centralized manner, there are still more than 30 guns. Coupled with the missiles in the Divine Machine Army, this Liaodong City is not as solid as imagined.

Inside the camp of the Don Army

"Alright, I order!" Li Shimin said.

And everyone asked for the battle, obviously wanting to take the lead. At this time, it's time to take the lead and make the first contribution, who doesn't want to make the first contribution, so that they can show a big face in front of the emperor! After all, in this battle, everyone wants to get the first merit. If you can conquer Liaodong City. That's really a big credit, after all, Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army didn't conquer it back then, so if he can overcome it, doesn't that show his ability? So everyone wants to snatch the first credit. There are great benefits for future promotions.

"The soldiers of the Xi clan and the Yan tribe, this first battle is up to you to fight!" Li Shimin said.

And after hearing this, the leader of the Xi tribe immediately asked, "Why do we have to fight?" ”

"Of course, don't you Xi people want to return to the land? Why don't you go out and fight? Li Shimin asked.

And the leader of the Xi tribe was helpless. Originally, he just wanted to be able to let the Tang army attack, and then he could pick up the cheap in the back. In this way, you can avoid losing too much of yourself, or even just be responsible for some things in the back. But now he wants to attack the city. This obviously made the leader of the Xi clan very speechless.

"Your Majesty, this ......" the leader of the Xi clan wanted to say something.

"Are you going? If you don't go, then when the land is laid, you won't have your share! Jingwen scolded angrily.

And the leader of the Xi clan immediately asked: "Shouldn't Datang return the land for us?" ”

But Jingwen said, "Didn't you send troops to help us? If you don't obey us, then why should we help you get your land back? ”

And the leader of the Xi clan gritted his teeth, and then immediately knew that it seemed that this time it would not work without attacking the city. After all, now they have to rely on the Tang Dynasty as a backer, if there is no Datang as a backer, then how can they take the initiative to deal with the Goguryeo people? Goguryeo had a population of several million and hundreds of thousands of troops. And the population of the Xi nationality is not more than hundreds of thousands, even if all the people are soldiers, it is only 70,000 or 80,000. Moreover, the population, resources, and combat effectiveness are not the opponents of the Goguryeo people, so the Xi and the Tatar people are not the opponents of Goguryeo, and they are driven north by Goguryeo more and more, and they lose their habitat step by step.

If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, it would have been impossible for them to rebel against the Goguryeo people alone. Now if it were not for the support of the Tang Dynasty and lent them a few courages, they would not dare to take the initiative to stand up against Goguryeo. So if Datang doesn't support them, then it's impossible for them to return to the land at all. And now Datang wants the Xi clan to take the lead, which is obviously to save his own troops. It has to be said that the more powerful the force, the more it saves its own troops. This is also the same reason that the richer you are, the more you pick the door, so Datang obviously wants the Xi clan and the Ya clan to be cannon fodder now, but they have no way at all.

"Okay, our Xi tribe and the Yan tribe will first exclude 5,000 people and go to the lead. However, please also ask Datang to cover and respond in time! The leader of the Xi clan said.

"Okay, we'll take care of you!" Li Shimin said. (To be continued......)
