Chapter 237: Go to Gaochang to make a visit
Gao Changguo.
Before Li Shimin set off, he sent someone to send a war letter to Gao Changguo.
Of course, on the surface, it is not so direct.
It probably means that our two countries have always gotten along well, isn't this that I miss you, so I plan to come and see my good brother.
After reading it, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, Ko Wentai, was not good!
When he received the war letter, the Tang army was almost at the gate of Gaochangguo.
Visiting the door with an army of more than 100,000?
Where are you a liar?
This is the only thing that came to beat me!
It's just that Ko Wentai can't figure out why this is.
Gao Changguo has always regarded himself as a younger brother to Datang, and he can't be more obedient.
You, Li Shimin, don't let the Turkic Goguryeo or anything go to fight it, come and fight your own people???
Lu Wentai felt that there should be some misunderstanding here, so he sent his right-hand man to prepare to ask Li Shimin about it.
The other side.
Li Shimin led the army and arrived at the boundary of Gaochang Kingdom.
This year, it is usually necessary to go through the process first.
For example, send someone to call a formation or something, and then say why we are beating you.
In fact, Li Shimin also planned to do this at the beginning.
The previous unreliable war book was made by him at the instigation of Kusawa.
It didn't take long for me to regret it afterwards......
It's too chicken, it's detrimental to your emperor's compulsion......
But the war letters have been sent out, and it is not appropriate to chase them back.
So he now plans to go through the normal process and then do it.
During this time, Duan Lun and they were working overtime, and now the ammunition in Li Shimin's hand is quite sufficient!
This time he came to Gao Changguo, he brought enough 'sincerity'!
But Kusawa felt that it was too much trouble.
It's all knocked on the door, what are you doing with those false things?
Just do it and you're done!
So this thing immediately commanded Cheng Chumo and others to 'open fire'!
Li Shimin: ......
When it comes to hooligans, it really depends on the national teacher......
Regarding Cao Ze's move, Cheng Yanjin and other generals also expressed their very much agreement!
They usually bother with that set of superficial things, and what they like most is to carry a stick up and do it!
At the beginning, Cao Ze took Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, and these generals to do it.
Cheng Biting Jin and these generals took a look, what kind of line is this?
Lao Tzu followed all the way over, was it really for the so-called war?
How boring is this kind of completely crushing battle, isn't Lao Tzu coming for these black bumps?!
Cheng Chumo was originally excited to light the fire, but suddenly noticed a chill coming from behind him.
When I turned my head to look, I saw my father smiling kindly at himself......
So these guys could only shrink their necks and obediently give way to their father......
The other side.
The envoy of Ko Wentai arrived a few days earlier than the Tang army, so he temporarily settled in this city.
Just wait for the Tang army to arrive, and ask on behalf of the king.
And after the Tang army was about to fight, the officials in the city were all stunned.
There is quite a kind of person who sits at home, and the pot comes from heaven to rush his feet......
This has led to the fact that they can't eat or sleep well in the past few days, and they are all killed by Datang people in their dreams......
Death is not scary.
What is really uncomfortable is the taste of waiting for death......
Now that the Tang army has arrived, they are relieved.
Of course, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say dead.
After all, in their concept, the Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is very reasonable.
His Majesty's envoy will go over to negotiate in a while, and it shouldn't be too bad.
The messenger himself thought so.
After all, the two countries are at war.
Even if it doesn't work out in the end, there should be no problem with your own safety.
It's a big deal that when the fight really starts, he will slip away first, and the Tang army can't just leave the city alone and chase after a little messenger of his own, right?
The messenger straightened his clothes and prepared to go.
The officials in the city cast a look one after another: Brother, it's up to you!
As a result, before the envoy could leave, he saw that the Tang army was moving.
Several catapults were pushed out, and some Tang troops were busy working around something.
The messenger was stunned.
No?
And that's where it begins?
Don't even go through the process?
Then he suddenly realized that something was not quite right.
The distance of this catapult seems a bit far, huh?
At this distance, the stone must not be able to hit the city wall, right?
Just as he was wondering, he saw several round stones flying towards him!
Behind those round stones, there seemed to be a spark in tow......
And then......
"Boom ——!"
"Boom ——!"
"Boom ——!"
The messenger on the city wall intuitively heard a loud noise in his ears, and then there was a shaking of the mountains!
The one on his feet did not stand firmly, and immediately fell to the ground.
The walls were still shaking, and there was a constant buzzing in my ears......
The other people around him were all frightened, and they were all stunned and at a loss.
The most dumbfounded were the soldiers near the city gate.
They only heard a few loud bangs, and then they found that their gates were gone......
The people of the city were also frightened by the sound of the explosion, and they hid in their homes one by one and shivered.
Didn't you say that the Tang Army was coming, how did it turn into thunder?
When the soldiers of Gaochang State were still stunned, Li Shimin had already led the army into the city!
On one side is the blind Gaochang soldiers, and on the other side is the wolf-like Tang army.
What the result will be, naturally there is no suspense.
However, Li Shimin is also kind to these Gaochang soldiers.
As long as they obediently cooperate with the surrender, they can save their lives.
If those who dare to resist, they will naturally be clicked.
After all, it's war.
In fact, most of the soldiers of Gaochang State were frightened, and only a handful dared to resist.
After all, they've seen this kind of formation there?
After a few loud bangs, the city gates were gone, and even the city walls had several more holes.
Is this something that people can do?
This is Tang Jun, it is clearly a god descending from heaven......
In this case, take the head to fight?
Forget it, surrender......
After the Tang army entered the city, Li Shimin did not do anything excessive.
just captured the soldiers of Gaochangguo and ignored those people.
And then he took a little bit of stuff from the city.
For example, what kind of military rations, gold and silver jewelry, jade and jade.
And so on and so forth.
In short, apart from the rations of the common people, there is almost nothing left......
Looking at these seized trophies, Li Shimin was simply overjoyed!
Sure enough, fighting a war is the fastest way to make money!!
This battle is well fought!
And you have to keep fighting!
After looting the city, Li Shimin continued to march with his troops non-stop.
In the following days, the Tang army frantically brushed up on the copy of Gaochangguo with the record of a few days and a city.
In fact, most of the time is spent on the road and after the fact.
If you take the castle alone, it will be in one day.
After all, if they make a move, the news will inevitably spread to the next city.
Rumors are often the most unreliable.
As it spreads, it tastes bad.
At the beginning, it was the Tang Army's practice that attracted the heavenly thunder, and in the back, it directly became Li Shimin who summoned 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals......
This led to the fact that the people in the back city completely urinated before they could fight, and when the Tang army came, they did not have the slightest resistance......
What's more, he led people to surrender at the gate of the city early......
Therefore, the Tang army is fighting more and more smoothly.
Later, I didn't even need to fight.
People have already set up a posture of surrender at the city gate, how can this start?
Not to mention Li Shimin and the others, even Cao Ze is embarrassed to do this......
So the rest of the trip was not so much about fighting as about 'opening boxes' all the way......
