Chapter 898: Lead the Nose!
After all, the enemy is now stationed at the border with more than 100,000 soldiers, and if this city gate is opened, the enemy will kill him, and he may be finished.
Having already calculated the other party's situation, the commander directly asked Yuan Gai Suwen's carriage to be sent to the front.
Looking at the unconscious Yuan Gai Suwen below, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and let them into the city.
"Into town!"
Looking at the slowly opening city gate, the commander directly ordered the soldiers to enter the city.
Entering the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city looked at these people but felt that something was wrong, these people did not look like Goguryeo people at all.
"Who are you?"
"I'm your grandfather!"
The commander directly pulled out the iron knife at his waist, and slashed the Goguryeo soldiers in front of him to the ground with one sword.
"Kill!"
These 1,000 people are all elites selected by them, and they are not afraid of the defenders in the city at all.
After these people were killed, they also began to hold on to their positions.
Hearing this, the soldiers defending the city also launched an attack on the city gate as soon as possible.
But in the face of this thousand elites, the soldiers defending the city found that they couldn't kill it at all, and as time passed, Ahma also led a large army to kill.
The city gate was opened, and Huaiyuan Mansion could be said to have no power to resist, so it was directly taken down by them.
Huaiyuan Mansion was taken, the gate of Goguryeo was opened, and the army of 100,000 began to radiate towards Goguryeo like locusts.
Soon the news of Yuan Gai Su Moon's death spread, and upon hearing the news, Yuan immediately established himself as the new Da Mo Lizhi in Pyongyang.
Then immediately gather an army of 150,000 and go north to fight to the death against the southbound Yak and Wuluohun.
He also knew that Datang was not ready to fight him in an all-round way now, and he wanted to take this opportunity to directly defeat the other party completely.
Otherwise, if you really wait for Datang to kill again, you may be completely finished.
By the time the 150,000 Goguryeo army arrived in the north, it had swelled to 200,000, and in the face of the 100,000 Kyoryeo coalition army, a confrontation also began.
"General, now that Goguryeo has started a war with the Turquoise and Urokhun in the north, now they should be considered the weakest time for us, when will we start attacking."
Xue Rengui glanced at Li Ji, his eyes full of excitement.
He really took Li Ji, in the end, Jiang is still old and spicy.
He may be playing tactics, but Li Ji has risen to the strategic level.
It is really a chessboard with heaven and earth as a chessboard, and all living beings as chess pieces, Goguryeo, Ya and Wuluohun are all in his control.
First, he let Wu Luohun and Shen Ya as pawns, so that Yuan Gai Suwen had to go north to negotiate peace, and then ambushed in the camp of Shen Ya, creating the illusion of two murders of Yuan Gai Suwen.
and then forced the two divisions to launch in advance and attack Goguryeo in the south, and Goguryeo had to gather all its strength to confront the other party.
In the end, it can only be Datang who will benefit.
"General Xue Li, I'm sure you should have guessed what the old man wanted.
Let's not say that we are not ready yet, even if we are ready, the attack at this time can only allow Goguryeo to negotiate peace with the Turquoise and Urohun and fight us together.
On the contrary, as long as we stand still and wait until they are really defeated, Goguryeo will be at your fingertips! ”
Li Ji glanced at Xue Rengui, he was still a young man, and he was a little breathless.
It's just the beginning, and it's time to attack, so we have to wait.
"It's Xue Li who is impatient."
Hearing Li Ji say this, Xue Li also sighed.
It's not that he can't see it, it's that he's already a little.
After all, there may still be some defense in front of him now, but without rear support, he still thinks he can kill it.
"Well, pass my order, the whole army will continue to rest, and at the same time, let the soldiers and horses in the rear hurry up and be in position, we may attack at any time."
Li Ji slowly stood up and gave his order directly.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
A group of generals also stood up and saluted one after another, and then went to give the other party's order.
With this year's preparation, with the full support of Datang, the Datang Naval Division, which originally had only 100 warships, has now skyrocketed to more than 250 in an instant.
The sailors who originally had only about 10,000 people have also become 30,000, and nearly 100 warships are under construction.
Once formed, the Tang Navy Division will become a behemoth with 30,000 or 400,000 soldiers and 400 warships.
You must know that this is a warship, not a small sampan like a wild ship like the Japanese country.
If there is another battle at the mouth of the Baijiang River, I am afraid that there will not be the previous situation of fighting more with less, but a complete crushing situation.
And not only these, after Li Yanran's mention, Datang's shipbuilding department also seized the time to start the development of ocean-going warships.
Once these ocean-going warships are developed, the Wa Kingdom may have to pray that the Tang Dynasty will not be interested in them.
This has to say that Datang's strong strength, the development of ocean-going warships, the construction of offshore warships, and even the development of new grain carriers have also been completed.
Such vessels have a larger load capacity, higher smoothness and, crucially, more watertight compartments, which greatly increases their safety at sea.
For a time, the entire shipping industry of Datang opened a mode of rapid development under the promotion of Li Yanran.
And the initiator Li Yanran is still staying in the fiefdom, living a life of a rich man who is a little rich.
I have nothing to do with raising fish, feeding birds, cleaning up some thieves, and living a relaxed and comfortable life.
Li Hong finally couldn't stay in the fief anymore, and returned to the palace at the suggestion of his ministers to be taught by his teacher.
But Li Hong also won the preferential treatment of going to the fiefdom for one day a week, which is not bad.
All parts of the country are developing, and finally Su Dingfang finally took all the Tubo cities between Nyingchi and Tuhun Valley after half a year's march.
After cleaning up all his logistics lines, Su Dingfang finally gave the order to advance towards Nyingchi City in an all-round way.
After a year of reinforcement, Nyingchi City has become a monster-like pass, with a wall more than ten meters high, like a hill across the earth.
"Prime minister, the Tang army is advancing towards us, and it is only ten days away from Nyingchi City!"
Zayangcuo came to Lu Dongzan's side and told the scout the news he had just reported.
"It's finally here!"
Hearing that Tang Jun was coming, Lu Dongzan also slowly opened his eyes.
In the end, he is getting older, and his energy is not as good as before, especially after experiencing the battle of Jishi Pass, he also feels that he is a little weak.
"Are you alright?"
Looking at Lu Dongzan, whose eyebrows were white, to be honest, Zayangcuo was a little distressed.
Although he has a monopoly on power and has the posture of a dictator, it is precisely under his control that Tubo's national strength will be as prosperous as it is now.
is such an iron-fisted minister, but I didn't expect it to be like this now.
It really made him a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine, I ordered the whole army to be ready to deal with the offensive of Datang at any time."
"Yes!"
Soon, the soldiers and horses in Nyingchi City were also all on alert, waiting for Su Dingfang to kill at any time.
Time passed little by little, and ten days later, Su Dingfang also came to Nyingchi City with less than 300,000 troops.
Looking at the city in front of him, Rao is Su Dingfang also frowned.
He was a battle-hardened man, but he had never seen such a high wall.
The city wall is more than ten meters close to twenty meters high, let alone a siege, even if you climb up the ladder, it will take a lot of time.
Looking at the Tang army under the city, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but be stupid.
Looking at the posture of the other party, there are at least 300,000 people on this scale.
Could it be that they didn't have a garrison at all? But the whole army is coming?
But this place is already far away from the Datang mainland, aren't they afraid of harassing their supply lines by themselves?
Even if he didn't send troops over, the Tubo people in the city behind him alone would be enough for them to drink a pot.
Or did Datang increase his troops again when he didn't know?
"Daxiang, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lu Dongzan frowning, Zayangcuo didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Didn't you find that Datang's soldiers and horses hadn't decreased much at all? Have they increased their troops, or have they given up their supplies and are ready to fight us to the death! ”
Lu Dongzan pointed to the Tang army under the city and directly asked the other party's opinion.
"Great Minister, it's not so easy for Datang to increase troops now, I suspect that they should think that they have the advantage of thunder and want to defeat us in one fell swoop!"
Zayangcuo also saw the situation in front of him, and after thinking about it for a while, he also expressed his opinion.
"Hehe, you want to break through Nyingchi City with thunder alone? Not to mention that we already know their shortcomings, and even if we don't know, this wall is not easy to take. ”
Lu Dongzan sneered, he had made a lot of efforts to keep this Nyingchi City.
Not only did the city wall be raised, but also a moat several meters wide and ten meters deep was dug in front of the city wall.
It's not a moat, but it's not that easy to get through.
Add to that some horse-repellent defenses, and it's simply armed to the teeth.
"General, this Nyingchi City is a little difficult to fight."
Before Li Mingqi came to Lisuding, the city in front of him was not as difficult as the ones he had encountered before.
"Hehe, since they want to play defense, let's play with them.
Instructed the craftsmen to build trebuchets, and sent soldiers to prepare a belt of sand to fill in the moat.
Then build me an ironclad siege car, and a building car, all of which will be done. ”
Su Dingfang smiled, although this kind of city is a little difficult to fight, but he is not out of the question, the previous unification battle of the Tang Dynasty was like this every time.
"General, we have thunder in our hands, there is no need to do those useless work!"
Hearing Su Dingfang's order, Chen Qi was also stunned for a moment, not knowing why the other party was doing so much useless work.
"Do you really think Lu Dongzan is a fool?
If we really only attack with ironclad siege vehicles, he will inevitably concentrate fire and attack, and our ironclad siege vehicles may not be able to attack at that time.
Only by letting them spread their fire will they have a chance to get the siege vehicles to the walls. ”
Su Dingfang shook his head, this was the most critical battle.
If you win, Tubo will no longer have the strength to resist, and if you lose, so much work you have done before will be in vain.
Besides, he's been spending so much time, do you care about this time?
He doesn't care, so he's going to win this battle anyway.
"I see!"
After glancing at Su Dingfang, the rest of the people immediately began to prepare engineering equipment.
The rear was preparing siege equipment, and Su Dingfang rode forward and came to the city of Nyingchi.
"Lu Dongzan, General Ben knows that you are here, come out and talk back."
Hearing Su Dingfang's shout, Lu Dongzan also appeared on the city wall.
"Su Dingfang, what do you want to say to Benxiang?"
