Chapter 701: Li Shimin, who didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights! Bad news came
Wow!
The hot foot-washing water splashed on Quangai Suwen's face,
"Ahh
The screams suddenly sounded, and Quan Gai Suwen struggled, and the blood hole in his arm that was barely blocked oozed blood again!
The sharp pain in his shoulders and the heat on his face made him so unbearable that he could barely open his eyes, and his teeth were about to be crushed!
Xu Fenglei didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.
Torturing people, he is the most adept.
The high-intensity torture is actually useless, one by one, when he feels that he is about to die, he is relieved, when he feels that he can take a breath, then torture again!
This is the most powerful way to destroy people's will!
"Whew...... Whew......"
Quangai Suwen gasped heavily, and several layers of sweat oozed from his body, so much so that his whole body was almost soaked.
"It's tough."
Flying Fish commented.
Ordinary people have already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy after eating such a set of combos, and this Quan Gai Suwen is worthy of launching a coup d'Γ©tat and killing the king of Goguryeo along with hundreds of ministers in one go!
This willpower is really top!
However, he wasn't worriedβthe Living Hades in front of him could definitely handle him easily.
"How, are you willing to cooperate?"
Xu Fenglei cocked Erlang's legs and said with a light smile,
"I still have a lot of flowers, do you want to try it again?"
Quan Gai Suwen barely opened his eyes, he couldn't do anything at the moment, he could only stare at Xu Fenglei in front of him, eager to eat him alive!
Myself...... How can you ever be wronged like this? Such pain!
"It seems that you still don't want to cooperate."
Xu Fenglei smiled and soaked a thick cloth into the wooden barrel, and then gently covered Quangai Suwen's face.
"Watering."
He commanded,
"Watering slowly, just like watering a flower."
The flying fish was a little unclear, so he stepped forward to execute.
And behind him, there are already a few people who have changed color!
"Waterboarding......
"What is waterboarding?"
"This is a punishment created by the Grand Governor, which seems mild, but it can destroy the will of man the most! It is said that everyone who has been subjected to this punishment will survive the first time, but they will never want to experience it a second time! β
"Look at it, thief horror ......"
Whispering here, the spring Gai Suwen at the other end had fallen into drowning suffocation......
β¦β¦
Half an hour later.
There was a creak, and the door was pushed open.
Xu Fenglei held a token and a piece of paperwork, and commanded with a smile:
"Flying fish, water clouds."
"With this token, you will seal the letter and let my 30,000-strong army enter the city of Pyongyang, and you will not be slow to do so."
"Before dawn, several troops and horses must arrive at the established position and control the whole city."
"Go ahead!"
"Yes!" Feiyu and Shui Yunying claimed to be, and when they looked at Xu Fenglei's gaze, they were already a little more afraid.
Punishment is not terrible.
can torture people to the point where life is worse than death with a smile like Xu Gong...... It's really scary!
Who dares to oppose him...... It must end badly, very badly......
Behind him, a guard stepped forward and couldn't help asking:
"Commander, when the army enters the city, will we be considered victorious?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"What if it weren't?"
The guard scratched his head.
"That's too easy, isn't it?" He couldn't help but say, "I feel like I didn't do anything, and I succeeded like this......"
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"Do you think it's easy?"
"Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud, the first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city."
"What I use is to go to the army and win by strategy."
"You think it's easy, it's because I have done a lot of preparation work in the early stage and spent a lot of money to get through this road."
"Where you can't see, those brothers on the dark web don't know how much sweat and effort, even their lives, have put in."
"Got it?"
When the guard heard this, he immediately looked ashamed.
"The lesson of the chief manager is that his subordinates understand."
Xu Fenglei bowed slightly.
"This victory, in fact, is just a stage victory."
He said in a deep voice,
"It is gratifying to take Pyongyang, but the key is to bring His Majesty's 170,000 troops in!"
"After pacifying Pyongyang, I will divide my troops to support Your Majesty and flank Anshi City! Left behind the soldiers and horses, 10,000 is enough. β
"Fortunately, Gao Yanshou took away 100,000 troops and emptied all the garrisons in the towns along the way, so that our army can stab the stomach unimpeded."
"Only by breaking through Anseong can Goguryeo be truly destroyed!"
Konoe looked stunned.
"My subordinates are willing to go to the aid of Your Majesty and break the city of An!"
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.
"I know your thoughts, I think there is no oil and water to fish in Pyongyang, and you want to go to Anshi City to fish for military merits, right?"
He patted the guard on the shoulder and said,
"Don't worry, when have I ever treated my soldiers badly?"
When the guard heard this, he immediately laughed.
β¦β¦
A few days later.
Under the city of Anshi, the 38th round of the Tang Army's attack still ended in failure.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Bang!
Li Shimin's eyes were already bloodshot, and even his lips were a little purple.
He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, in order to take down the city of Anshi in one go, he racked his brains and thought of various methods, launched countless rounds of attacks, and finally was blocked by Liang Wanchun, the city lord of Na'an City.
"Damn it, is he really the Li Guang of Goguryeo?"
Li Shimin slapped the table and said in a low voice,
"I don't believe it! A small Anshi city, my 170,000 army can't take him! β
"Li Ji, organize another round of raids tonight, we have reached the limit, I don't believe they still have the strength to spare, now is the time to fight for the will!"
When the generals in the tent heard this, their faces were all sad.
After several days and nights of attacking in turns, even these fierce generals were a little unbearable.
A few unlucky ones were also injured by stray arrows, although they didn't hurt their lives, but they did look a little embarrassed.
A small Goguryeo, an inconspicuous city of Anshi, can make a group of tiger generals in the Tang Dynasty look like this, and it is also a point that makes Li Shimin a nest of fire.
His stubbornness came up at once!
If you take it, you have to take it down!
Otherwise, wouldn't the invincible Tang Army be laughed at?!
"Your Majesty, the geographical location occupied by Anshi City is too favorable, although our army has 170,000, but it cannot fight at the same time, and can only fight in turns, as if adding fuel."
Li Ji hurriedly arched his hand,
"In this way, it is undoubtedly a great reduction in the combat effectiveness of our army."
"Therefore, it is not that our army is not strong enough, but that the attack on the mountain city can only be done slowly, not quickly."
"The art of war is cloudy, and the most important thing for our army to do now is to cut off the supply of grain and grass in Anshi City, wait for work, and besiege it to death! Instead of using troops frequently, this not only hurts the soldiers, but also frustrates the spirit. β
His remarks can be described as pertinent.
Siege warfare is not an encounter on the plains, and combat effectiveness is not the most critical factor, but patience and endurance are the most important.
However, Li Shimin directly vetoed it.
"No, I don't have that much time!"
He said,
"Since the start of our army, Goguryeo has actively responded to the battle, and has gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in Liaodong City and Anshi City, and their grain and grass are bound to be extremely rich."
"Siege like this is the stupid way to get them back to their strength! Who knows how long their food and grass will last? β
"If it can last until winter, when the climate changes suddenly and the snow covers the mountains, they have a city to rest, but our army has no place to rest, either they will freeze to death in the mountains, or they can only withdraw their troops!"
That's what they're doing! How can I let them succeed?! β
Li Ji was silent.
Your Majesty is also a person who knows the soldiers, and there is nothing wrong with what he said.
As long as it is dragged into the winter, the Tang Dynasty can only withdraw its troops, and the previous high-flying advance will all be in vain, and Goguryeo will soon recover the city.
That Datang, even if it is defeated!
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to attack the city again! But there will be one condition in the end! β
The veteran lieutenant Chi Gong suddenly got up and arched his hand.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"At this time, you still have to negotiate terms with me?"
He was a little displeased, but he still said,
"Let's talk about it!"
"You'd better not touch my head now!"
Wei Chi looked at Li Shimin and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days and nights, and you can't fight like this!"
"Your dragon body is the most important thing! The general's request is that you can get a good night's sleep and recuperate your spirits......"
"If you continue like this, the last general will really worry about you! Look at you, the dark circles under your eyes are so deep, and your lips are already purple! β
"I can't help but rest!"
After saying this, Wei Chigong's eyes were red and he almost cried.
He was really worried about Li Shimin's body!
When the generals heard this, they all knelt down on one knee and pleaded:
"Your Majesty, your dragon body matters!"
"Please go and get some rest!"
In fact, they have persuaded Li Shimin for several rounds, but Nai and the emperor don't listen!
Now, I really have to ask for it en masse! If this continues, there will be no accident in Anshi City, and Li Shimin will have an accident!
"Uh......"
Li Shimin looked stunned, he didn't expect Wei Chigong to make such a request.
Looking at the generals' expressions at the moment, his heart was also a little warm.
It can be seen that these old brothers really care about him......
"Your Majesty, go to sleep!"
Li Ji said solemnly,
"The last general will be dispatched in the settlement and stand up for you!"
"When you're rested, you'll be in command again, okay?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but show a little relief.
"Good, good ......"
"With you here, what else do I have to worry about? I'm going to rest now, I'm going to ...... now."
"Hah-"
He originally relied on willpower to stand up, but now that he listened to the persuasion, he also felt a little relaxed, and the feeling of distress naturally swept over, almost drowning his whole body......
He yawned as he walked out of the tent.
When the generals saw this, they were all relieved.
Finally...... The emperor still listened to the persuasion.
They were really afraid that he wouldn't listen, so they insisted on staying up like this!
If you keep going like this, I don't know what will happen! After all...... Your Majesty is no longer the Majesty you were when you were twenty-nine!
Just as Li Shimin opened the curtain, he saw a herald running in in a panic and stumbling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Oh no! The dirt mountain we built...... It's poured! β
Li Shimin: "!! β
In an instant, his heart was stirred, and his heart shrank suddenly!
A feeling of colic came from the heart!
"Hiss......"
Li Shimin frowned and covered his chest, gritted his teeth and said,
"What's going on!"
"Why did it collapse all of a sudden? What did Yan Lide eat! Isn't he in charge of this piece?! β
When the generals heard this, they also quickly surrounded them.
Anshi City has not been able to attack for a long time, and the earth mountain that can be level with the city wall is their biggest reliance on the siege!
The herald hurriedly said:
"Back to Your Majesty, that earth mountain was originally tilted towards the side of Anshi City, but this time I don't know why it suddenly collapsed, and it collapsed half of the walls of Anshi City at once!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he was immediately overjoyed!
"Yes, yes! This is an opportunity, a godsend! β
He excitedly said,
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the defenders of Tushan will directly attack Anshi City, won't they be able to break through this bastard's turtle shell?!"
"Who is the guard? He must have rushed in, right?! β
"Quick! Fast! β
"Order the three armies to attack Anshi City from the collapse of Tushan, and those who ascend first will be crowned marquis, and those who capture the lord of Anshi City will also be marquis!"
Li Shimin's whole body became excited, and the sleepiness just now dissipated a little.
Of course, his body was still tired, but this news gave him a strong injection of 'adrenaline', which made his whole body stand up, and temporarily abandoned all physical discomfort!
If Sun Simiao was here, he would definitely cry out.
When the body is extremely tired, the burden on the heart will be doubled!
However, Li Shimin doesn't care about this, he just wants to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to capture this impregnable Anshi City and cut off the head of the damned Anshi City Lord!
"But, but ......"
The herald looked sad and said,
"Somehow, when the earth mountain collapsed, the guard general Fu Yuai was not present......"
"Therefore, when the walls of Anshi Fortress were crushed, the Goguryeo soldiers quickly ran out, occupied the half-collapsed earth mountain, and built fortifications."
"Now...... Tushan was occupied by Goguryeo, and General Fu launched several rounds of attacks, but could not take it back......"
Li Shimin: "!! β
His heart throbbed again!
"Bastard!"
Li Shimin scolded,
"Who told him to leave his post without permission? Whose bastard is this? β
"Kill, kill!"
"Go! Send more troops and horses to attack, if I can't snatch back the stronghold of Tushan, I will definitely chop him up myself! β
At first, it was shocking!
Later, it was hi!
And now, it's anger!
Under the interweaving of various emotions, Li Shimin only felt that his chest was getting tighter and tighter, even if he breathed hard, he still felt stuffy, which gave him the illusion of being wrapped in bubbles.
"Your Majesty, you are angry!"
"The last general will go to supervise the battle now, and he will definitely snatch back the Tushan stronghold and attack the city of Anshi!"
Wei Chi said hurriedly,
"Anyway, you can go and rest now!"
"We're begging you!"
