971. Tentative offense

"Now that the morale of Goguryeo has been hit, we should attack well next. And the emperor, please give an order in the name of the joint commander to order the combined forces of the Xi and the Taya tribe to attack and test their defensive capabilities. Jingwen said.

"Okay, then let the combined forces of the Xi and the Ta tribe attack!" Li Shimin said.

In line with the principle that the friends of the dead are not dead and the poor are not dead, that is, to let their allies attack, so that they can reap the benefits. And the Xi and the Tata clan must be consumed, because according to Jingwen and Li Shimin's plan, these Xi and Tatar clans will be their enemies in the future, because the land they want belongs to the future goal of the Tang Dynasty. The goal of the Tang Dynasty's war with Goguryeo this time was to at least get back the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, which was the minimum goal. And the land they want from the Xi and Shen tribes happens to be the four counties of Liaodong, so they have to be blown away. So don't look at them helping Datang fight now, but they are likely to have a conflict with Datang in the future. So it's best to consume their population now, so that it will be easier to get rid of them in the event of a conflict with them.

Therefore, these combined forces of the Xi and the Tatar tribes are destined to be tragic, and they must be consumed first. As for Silla, it is also in second place, because Silla will not destroy them so quickly according to Datang's plan. Since Silla can't be destroyed so quickly, it is necessary to save some face for Silla so that it will not consume too much of their population.

And when the leader of the Xi clan heard this, he immediately knew that Datang wanted them to be cannon fodder. But they didn't have any choice, because if it weren't for Datang, they wouldn't have been able to get the land back. Now Datang treats them as cannon fodder, so he can only bite the bullet and make it up. After all, if the Tang Dynasty turns its face, then I'm afraid there is really no way. If you fight hard, you may be able to get back to the land, but if you turn your face with Datang. I'm afraid that Datang will be listed as the target of a single attack, and it will be miserable.

"Kill!" The Xi coalition rushed forward.

On the Goguryeo city wall, the Goguryeo generals watched the combined forces of the Xi and the Tatar rush up, and the soldiers above were not worried. And although many generals have secretly wanted to surrender with the Tang Dynasty, everyone is now being watched very closely, because the Goguryeo palace guards have gone down to the troops to monitor those officers, and if those officers rarely make any changes, they will be killed immediately. And this makes everyone very unhappy, but there is no way. These palace guards were very loyal to the king of Goguryeo, and it was not at all something that other officers could influence, so they could only endure it. And now the combined forces of the Xi and the Taya tribe are attacking the city. They also wanted not to fight, but those guards immediately forced them to fight, which made those Goguryeo soldiers very helpless.

"Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart! Shoot them to death for me and show them that we Goguryeo are not easy to mess with. When the time comes, how many of them will be able to fill our hearts with thousands of arrows. The Goguryeo guard said.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Those crossbow machines shot tens of thousands of arrows at once, and the combined forces of the Xi and Ya tribes suffered heavy losses. This is Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and it can be said that Goguryeo is the most heavily defended place. And since Liaodong City has this kind of crossbow machine with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, there is no reason why Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, should not have it. Instead, it will just be more, not less. This time, tens of thousands of arrows were shot, and I am afraid that there will be no less than dozens of such arrows on a city wall. This kind of firepower is very fierce, and thousands of people sent out by the Xi tribe. Immediately lost most of it, all humming and chirping on the ground.

And the Goguryeo people are not afraid; Waste of arrows, because Goguryeo has been preventing the Central Plains Dynasty from attacking for many years, so Goguryeo's reserves of various materials are also very sufficient. There is no fear of running out of arrows at all. Therefore, despite their fire, Goguryeo's domestic reserves of arrows were enough to kill millions of people.

"His Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let our soldiers retreat! They can't stand it anymore! The leader of the Xi clan said.

"It's really useless. A round of blows from Goguryeo talents, you can't stand it? Jingwen scolded.

"I really can't stand it, they lost half of them in one launch, so if the second launch then the thousands of people we sent out will be lost!" The leader of the Xi clan said.

And the Queen Kindman also looked at this situation, and her heart was also frightened. The queen has seen the big market anyway, but she is also very afraid of this kind of magic thing that pierces the heart with thousands of arrows. Because more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded in a single shot, then their own army could withstand several shots. And I am afraid that even if 10,000 troops are sent to fight, the enemy will begin to retreat at the first shot, because the casualties have already reached one-tenth, so it will be very miserable.

And Jingwen immediately said to those reconnaissance staff officers: "Have you measured where those Goguryeo's ten thousand arrows pierced the heart?" ”

The reconnaissance staff officer immediately replied: "It has been estimated, we will observe their firing points at any time, and then we have already indicated it in the deployment map of the city wall drawn by the engineering staff officer." Next, we can use artillery to bombard them and destroy their ten thousand arrows through the heart! ”

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, we can let the combined forces of the Xi Clan and the Yan Clan retreat, and the next thing should be our Shenji Army artillery dispatch." Jingwen said.

And Li Shimin also said politely: "Wait a minute, how our Datang fights!" Your methods of warfare have long since become obsolete. ”

Next, the combined forces of the Xi and the Ta tribes finally retreated. And when they returned, there were only four or five hundred of his more than 3,000 people left, and there were still a lot of lottery tickets. These are enough to show that their losses are very huge, and Jingwen is also rejoicing, fortunately, there are these "Taoist friends" to help him test the enemy's firepower, otherwise if the Tang Dynasty's army charges directly, there will not be enough people to fill in. After all, this is an attack on the enemy's capital, and the Goguryeo people's defense is very tight, and there is absolutely no time for relentlessness. At that time, if Datang loses too much, then I am afraid that this war will be a loss.

"Order Li Xiaogong, pull up the artillery of the Shenji Army, and then prepare for battle!" Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The herald staff officer immediately went to inform Li Xiaogong. (To be continued......)
