Chapter 219: God Doesn't Help Tang

[Baekje took the initiative to fight, and Su Dingfang met the head-on.

After a big battle, the Tang army led by Su Dingfang defeated the Baekje army neatly, killing more than 10,000 people in total, and taking advantage of the victory to attack the outer city.

The Baekje king Buyeo Yoshiji and the crown prince Buyeo Ryong fled to the north, and Su Dingfang marched to besiege the Baekje capital city of Sihyeonseong.

Yici's second son, Fuyu Tai, established himself as the king of Baekje and led the people to hold on.

Yici's grandson, Fuyu Wensi, said: "Although the king and the crown prince are out of the city, they are still alive. My uncle commanded the soldiers and horses to claim the king without authorization, and if the Tang army retreated, my father and son's lives would not be saved. ”

So Wen Si led his left and right from the edge of the city, and many people followed him, but Tai couldn't stop it.

Su Dingfang took advantage of the situation to order his soldiers to climb the city tower and set up the banner of the Tang Dynasty.

When the city saw that the flag of the Tang Army was actually planted on its own city wall, the people were terrified, and their morale quickly declined.

Fuyu Tai was in an embarrassing situation, and he saw that there was no longer a condition to resist, so he opened the door and asked for surrender.

Soon after, the Baekje general You-sik came to surrender with Yici, and Prince Long and all the city lords came to pay their respects. 】

After Baekje was pacified, its kingdom was divided into five parts.

The Tang Dynasty placed the five governors of Xiongjin, Mahan, Dongming, Jinlian and De'an with its land, and placed Fangzhou in juxtaposition.

The five prefectures were under the jurisdiction of 37 prefectures, and 250 counties were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Yoo In-won, the general of Zuo Xiaoweilang, was ordered to lead 10,000 Tang troops and unite with the 7,000 Silla army led by Kim In-tae, the prince of Silla, to jointly defend Baekje Fortress. 】

[In November of the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the 31st king of Baekje, Buyeo Yici, and 58 people, including the crown prince Long and Tai, were captured by Su Dingfang in the eastern capital of Luoyang.

So far, Su Dingfang has destroyed three countries before and after, and they have all captured their kings alive, the treasures of the reward can not be counted, the Tang court "gave the world three days", and awarded his son Su Qingjie as Shang Yuan Fengyu.

The Tang Dynasty's attack on Baekje this time was a very rare cross-sea amphibious operation in the history of ancient Chinese warfare.

The scale of this battle was unprecedented, and it fully reflected the powerful naval construction and advanced navigation and shipbuilding technology in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

After Goguryeo lost its ally Baekje, it fell into isolation.

However, the Tang Dynasty could use the homeland of Baekje as a strategic stronghold to form a north-south attack on Goguryeo, which indeed laid a solid foundation for the eventual demise of Goguryeo. 】

"Hahaha! Dogs, let's see how long you can bounce this time! ”

"Tsk! This Su Dingfang is really incredible. ”

"The prisoners have been sacrificed three times, and they are all king-level prisoners, it's just too brutal!"

"There is a powerful Tang Dynasty behind Su Dingfang, if you replace it with a big coward. I'm afraid that when the prisoner is sacrificed, it will be when Su Dingfang is taken down, right? ”

[In that year (the nineteenth year of Zhenguan), Li Shimin drove the expedition in person, and led many generals such as Li Tao and Li Daozong to conquer Goguryeo.

However, when Li Shimin besieged Anshi City, he fought until September, but he still failed to conquer it.

As winter approached, the grass withered and frozen, and the army could not stay for a long time, so Li Shimin could only lead the army to withdraw, regrettably losing the opportunity to defeat Goguryeo.

And this time, Tang Gaozong vowed to fulfill his father Li Shimin's grand wish, and soon after Su Dingfang returned to China to offer prisoners, Tang Gaozong began to plan the second conquest war! 】

[In December of the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the imperial court edict took Qibi He Li as the general manager of the march of the Hunjiang Road, Su Dingfang as the chief of the march of Liaodong Road, Liu Boying as the chief of the Pyongyang Road march, and Cheng Mingzhen as the chief of the Gongfang Road, and led the troops to attack Goguryeo! 】

[In January of the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the imperial court took Xiao Siye as the head of the march of the rest of the road, and led the Hui and other troops to march into Pyongyang.

At the end of April, Li Zhi wanted to follow his father's example and lead the army to conquer himself, but was discouraged by Empress Wu and failed to make the trip.

At the beginning of May, the Tang Army's operational deployment underwent major changes, and the imperial court changed the order of "Zuo Xiaowei Da and Liangguo Gong Qi Bi He Li as the Grand Governor of Liaodong Province, Zuo Wuwei Da and Xingguo Gong Su Dingfang as the Grand Governor of Pyongyang Province, and the Military Department Shangshu and Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin (Prime Minister), and Le'an County Gongren Yaxiang as the Grand Governor of Hungang Province", and led the army and Zhuhu soldiers to "advance by land and water" to crusade against Goguryeo. 】

"This formation really gives Goguryeo enough face!"

"The five armies before and after, damn it, just scared Goguryeo to death!"

"Tang Gaozong has learned from the experience of his father Li Shimin's failure, if he doesn't move, he will definitely shoot Goguryeo to death if he moves!"

"! Fuck it! ”

[In August of the first year of Longshuo (661), Su Dingfang defeated the Goguryeo army in the Hunjiang River, won many battles, and killed Goguryeo's heart, and soon after, he came to the city of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.

However, the progress of the Tang army's northern route by land was relatively slow, and the Goguryeo minister Gai Suwen sent his eldest son, Quan Nannu, to lead tens of thousands of elite troops to hold the Yalu River, and the Tang army was unable to cross the river, and the two sides remained deadlocked until the end of September.

When winter comes, the weather begins to get cold, and the water of the Yalu River freezes into ice.

The Tang army, under the leadership of Qibi He Li, stepped on the ice, clamoured and fought hard, and the Goguryeo army was defeated.

The Tang army took advantage of the victory to pursue dozens of miles, beheaded 30,000 people, and the rest of the troops all surrendered, and the spring boy was only spared.

Just as the Tang army on the northern route led by the general manager of the march of Liaodong Road, Qibi He Li, was advancing smoothly, and it was about to go south to join Su Dingfang in Pyongyang City, Tang Gaozong suddenly issued an edict to the division, and Qi Bi He Li had no choice but to withdraw the army.

However, facts proved that Tang Gaozong's strategy was correct, because the nine surnames of Tiele in Mobei soon rebelled, and Hui Bisu poisoned Tongluo and Fugu at the same time to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty!

In mid-October, Xiao Siye also returned to China and became the head of the Xiancao Road march, and joined the counterinsurgency army that fought against Tiele.

After the two commanders returned to China, the Tang Army's strategic plan to attack Goguryeo from the north and south fell into failure, and the war against Goguryeo suddenly fell into a protracted war. 】

"! Is God also helping Goguryeo? ”

"At this critical time, another group of annoying jackals appeared, which is really hard to itch!"

"Could it be that this time you can only let Goguryeo goguryeo goulyeo?"

"No, definitely not! Isn't that the protagonist Su Lie and Su Dingfang!! ”

[After winter, the Goguryeo region can be called a land of ice and snow, and climate and other factors once again became a stumbling block for the Tang army to attack Goguryeo.

Previously, Tang Gaozong asked the Silla prince Kim In-wen to return to China to "raise troops accordingly", and at the same time ordered Silla to jointly send military rations to the Tang army, but the Silla army was blocked at Onsan Fortress and did not arrive in Goguryeo on time for military support.

The Silla convoy did not arrive, the grain route was not delivered to the Tang army, and the Tang army began to have the problem of supplying grain, grass and winter clothing, and the best time to attack no longer existed. 】

[At the beginning of the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), the head of Wofu Dao, the barbarian chief Pang Xiaotai, led the Lingnan soldiers to fight on the snake water, "the thief knew his cowardice, and attacked it", and his thirteen sons were killed in battle.

In the same month, Ren Yaxiang, the commander of the march of the Hunjiang Province, died of illness in the army, and Su Dingfang, who was alone in the siege of the city, could not get the coordinated combat assistance of friendly forces, and it was also a heavy snowfall, and it was impossible to conquer Pyongyang, so the siege was lifted and the division returned to China in February. 】

"Nima, God is really helping Goguryeo!"

"The weather in Goguryeo this winter is really too cold."

"Alas, the right time, the right place and the right people are lost, Su Dingfang is really difficult!"

"Withdraw, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid you'll have to give away someone's head"
