[According to the criminal law of Goguryeo at that time, if you commit the crime of rebellion, you will be roasted by fire.

The general process is that a group of people take turns to greet the prisoner with torches, and when the rebel is roasted and dying, he will be killed, and the criminal's family will all have to be confiscated into slavery, and the end must be very miserable.

And now, their eldest brother has begun to suspect that he has rebelled, and the future fate can be imagined.

So, these two brothers pushed the boat down the river and simply rebelled directly.

Yuan Nanjian first forced King Gao Zang to seal himself as Mo Lizhi, and after turning around, he sent a large army to crusade against his eldest brother Yuan Nan.

In the face of his younger brothers, Yuan Nan was not a vegetarian, he quickly pulled up a team, relying on his prestige and strength, to capture at least six cities, ready to use this to fight his younger brothers. 】

[However, after a few days of fighting, Yuan boy suddenly found that he didn't seem to be able to do his younger brothers!

So, Yuan boy hurriedly sent his son Yuan Xiancheng to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help (I suspect this is also the idea of that Tang spy!). ）】

"Hahaha! This man is so talented! Li Zhi laughed and patted his thighs vigorously.

But strangely, he slapped it several times in a row, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

Just when Li Zhi was wondering, Wu Zetian next to him spoke, "Your Majesty, you are a little heavy. The concubine's legs were numb by you. ”

"Ahh I'll help you rub it."

“.”

[After suddenly seeing Yuan Xiancheng and learning of the civil strife in Goguryeo, Li Zhi could not suppress his excitement.

In November of that year, Li Zhi issued an edict appointing Li Tao, who was already 73 years old, as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, and led Xue Rengui, Qi Bi He Li, Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan, Guo Beifeng and other fierce generals in China, plus more than 500,000 troops, to press Liaodong with overwhelming momentum.

It can be seen that Li Zhi is ruthless, and he must take advantage of his illness to kill him!

In fact, this was the last battle of the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo, and it was also the largest and longest battle to destroy the country! 】

[In the second year of Qianfeng (667 AD), Li Tao led an army of more than 500,000 and finally reached the front line of Liaodong.

Li Ji bypassed the 200-mile-wide Liaoze and the 1,000-mile-long Great Wall, and then went directly to Xincheng, Goguryeo's important town in Liaodong.

The new city is built on the Gaoer Mountain, about 1,200 meters long from east to west, about 900 meters wide from north to south, the highest point is 15 meters above sea level, the terrain is dangerous, the city is high and the wall is thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. 】

[Even Li Ji couldn't help but feel very tricky when he saw Xincheng.

So before the battle began, he gave an order to the whole army to attack to the death: "Xincheng is the western fortress of Goguryeo, no matter what the cost, it must be taken." ”

Subsequently, the Tang army set up camp in the southwest of the Goer Mountains, ready for a protracted war.

But unexpectedly, the Tang army had just set up a position to prepare for a protracted war, but a big traitor suddenly appeared in the new city, named Shifu Qiu.

Shifu Qiu saw that the Tang army outside the city was powerful and strong, and he knew that he was not an opponent, so he tied up the guards of the new city, and then directly opened the city gate and surrendered. 】

[Li Ji suddenly got a big gift, and he was naturally overjoyed.

He not only took over the new city quickly, but also took the opportunity to send a large army to attack everywhere, and in only a short time, he conquered sixteen cities around the new city in a row.

After opening up the situation, Li Ji divided his army of more than 500,000 into two routes.

One route was led by a group of fierce generals such as He Li, Xue Rengui, Pang Tongshan, and Gao Kan, and continued to stay in Liaodong and attack other cities.

Ling Yi Road was personally led by him and drove directly to Wugucheng, an important town on the Yalu River, to prepare for the next battle of crossing the river. 】

[After Li Ji left, the situation around Xincheng was actually still very grim, and there were nearly 200,000 enemy troops around.

Among them, 150,000 Goguryeo troops were stationed in the upper reaches of the Liao River such as Jinshan and Buyeo; In addition, tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed around Nansu City, more than 60 miles east of the new city. 】

[The people of the Yan Dynasty are the people who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty when Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, and was buried alive by Li Shimin 3,000 captives, and it is also the ancestor of the later Jurchens and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Faced with the current predicament, Qibi He Li decided to pick soft persimmons first, first defeat Nansu City, and then turn back to clean up the 150,000 Goguryeo army.

He Li left Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others to defend the new city, and he took Xue Rengui to kill the South Su City.

The current combat effectiveness of the Yan soldiers is still not very good, and fighting against the Tang Army, which is equipped with luxurious equipment and a lot higher combat power, is basically the type of collapse at the touch of a button.

How did He Li and Xue Rengui fight and win, and in a short period of time, they conquered seven cities in a row and killed more than 10,000 people.

However, just as they were winning, the danger behind them also came. 】

[After learning of the division of troops by the Tang Army, the 150,000 troops of Goguryeo took advantage of the weakening of the defense of Xincheng and quickly surrounded it.

And Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others who stayed behind, had no way to take the Goguryeo army, and the new city was broken by the Goguryeo army, which seemed to have become a matter of time. 】

[After receiving the news from Xincheng, He Li was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Xue Rengui to lead the army back to rescue, while he took other troops to continue to fight against the Yan soldiers.

Xue Rengui also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately led people to travel day and night, running for more than sixty miles, and finally rushed to the city before the new city was conquered. 】

[At this moment, the Goguryeo army was attacking the city with all their might, and they were unaware of Xue Rengui's sudden appearance behind them.

Xue Rengui, who was red-eyed, couldn't take any rest at all, and directly led the army to rush into the camp of the Gao army, and after a rush, the ground was full of corpses of Goguryeo people.

The war horses of the Tang army clashed wantonly in the Goguryeo army, and the Goguryeo people were killed so much that they cried their fathers and mothers, and the screams came and went, which was unbearable.

Seeing this scene, Pang Tongshan, Gao Kan and others in the new city were greatly boosted, and immediately opened the city gate and led the defenders in the city to kill them from the mountain.

In the end, the Goguryeo army was attacked by the Tang army on both sides, leaving only countless corpses and defeated.

In the face of the rout of the Goguryeo people all over the mountains, if you don't beat the water dogs at this time, when will you wait?!

Xue Rengui asked Gao Kan to lead his headquarters to chase and kill those fleeing Gao troops first, while he himself took a short rest and chased after him. 】

[The two sides chased after me, and they have been soaring for more than 300 miles. It wasn't until after coming to Jinshan that the defeated army of Goguryeo finally couldn't run.

They relieved their breath a few times, set up a formation, and brandished machetes to find the Tang army desperately.

It is said that the poor Kou Mo chases, and seeing that the Goguryeo people are being chased, they are in a hurry, and there is a posture of a dog jumping off the wall.

However, he was besieged by Goguryeo and lost his mind, and vowed to take the head of the Goguryeo to soothe his wounded heart.

Therefore, Gao Kan didn't care about any tactics and taboos at all, and directly led the army to rush towards the military formation of the Goguryeo army. 】

[However, the side that fights on the back of the water often bursts into great potential.]

Under the desperate resistance of the Goguryeo army, the Tang army led by Gao Kan was quickly defeated.

Tang Jun, who was still running with others just now, has now become the party being picked up, and the ups and downs of life are too fast, which is really exciting! 】
