Chapter 375: Pulling out the force

Wuli Luo City is located in the west of Liaoshui (Liao River), is the former Sui set up here Goguryeo outpost city, during the former Sui Goguryeo can be much stronger than now,

At that time, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, controlled the Khitan, Jin and other ethnic minorities in the northeast, and constantly invaded and harassed the border of the Sui Dynasty, and his power has been infiltrating into the western Liaoning region, which is also one of the reasons for the conquest of Goryeo.

And Wu Li Luo was the nail on the border of the former Sui, and he went to Goguryeo to pull out Wu Li Luo first.

"Generalissimo Qiqi, the scout has come to report that the walls around Wuli Luo City have been cleared, and all the animals and grain have been transferred.

It seemed that they wanted to hold out until reinforcements arrived, and the secret report said that there were 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wuli Luoli. Li Daozong took the lead in saying.

It's just that the tone is not so serious, 250,000 troops, Li Daozong is confident that he can conquer the city of Wu Liluo.

Li Chengqian looked at the map and said,

"Wuliluo is a semi-important city, and there should be many people in it, and they drove the people into the city, it seems that they want the people to help defend the city."

"The minister also thinks so, if it is still early, the minister will lead someone to test a wave first and see the reality and reality." Li Tao took the initiative to ask,

In fact, everyone here knows that it is not difficult to pull out Wu Liluo, and what is now discussed is to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.

The rest of the people also began to express their opinions, but basically they all took a look. They all have siege equipment with them.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I don't know what you have to do." Li Daozong suddenly saw Li Shen sitting in the back, and at this time, Li Shen was wandering out of the world, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Huh? Oh, this king thinks now.... Isn't it time to eat? Li Shen asked seriously.

With a pop, he fell from the small stool. Quickly get up and apologize.

Li Daozong couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful, make you owe, and ask him what he was doing.

Li Shen was indeed hungry, and Li Shen hadn't gotten up when they were eating in the morning. It's past noon, how can you not be hungry.

"Tenth brother, let's get down to business, do you have any suggestions for attacking the city?" Li Chengqian said helplessly to Li Shen.

His younger brother was always not so reliable.

"I don't know anything about the military, what advice can I have." Li Shen looked at everyone present with contempt.

"It's okay to give some advice." Li Chengqian did not give up.

Li Shen thought for a moment and muttered...... Mutter...... Cooing Li Shen's stomach also ringed, Li Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all,

However, his stomach was empty and his mind was blank, so he said casually;

"If you don't send a few people who can speak Goguryeo to the four gates to shout, and say that they surrender and don't kill, we have surrounded Wuliluo, and they will all starve to death sooner or later.

As soon as the people of the city come out, we will distribute food and receive them. ”

"Disturb the morale of the army? Yes, it has some effect, but it is not very big. Li Daozong thought for a while and said.

"It's not to disturb the morale of the army, it's to disturb the people's hearts, and to the people in the city, there must be a lot of people in the city to help, and when they go back, it will still play a little panic effect."

Li Shen took Li Daozong's words and said.

Li Daozong nodded, there is some truth, anyway, it is all about fighting, and it can affect a little bit.

"This can be well arranged, for example, the food in the city will be supplied to the soldiers in advance, not to the people.

Or rather, they kept the people as two-legged sheep, ready to be slaughtered and eaten. Anyway, if you sow discord, those who read will do. ”

Li Shen said casually, and then turned his head to the stone and said.

"Get me a piece of meat for this king, for this king will starve to death."

Stone hurried out to do it.

Everyone ignored Li Shen's actions, but savored Li Shen's method, which was indeed feasible and did not take much effort.

"Somebody, call a couple of translators." Li Chengqian ordered.

Soon a few translators entered the tent, and Li Chengqian let a few people remember what Li Shen had explained, and then ordered someone to give these people a meal first, prepare meat, and shout with power when the time comes.

After that, Li Chengqian began to discuss with Li Daozong and the others the battle plan, which door was the main attack, which door was auxiliary, what type of troops to use first, what type of troops to use later, and what engineering equipment to use.

The documents on the side quickly recorded that these were not only battle plans, but also the contents of the future for Li Shimin.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, only Li Shen in the back was holding a large piece of meat and gnawing desperately, and Lan Yu'er on the side was responsible for sprinkling salt.

At this time, several fast horses came from outside the city of Wuli Luo, and stood a hundred and ten zhang away from the city, and after dismounting, two people stepped forward, one holding a shield, and the other said loudly in Goguryeo;

"Listen, the people in the city, we are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor has heard that the people of Goguryeo are hungry, and the civil war is raging, and the people are struggling to make a living.

Our Emperor His Majesty graciously sent us to save the people, we brought food, and we are willing to help all the people of Goguryeo to tide over the difficulties.

Your city is now closed, and the food will not last long, and the people of the city may be reduced to food for the nobles.

Our Highness the Crown Prince hopes that the soldiers defending the city will open the gates of the city so that we can free the people inside and distribute food. .......”

According to Li Shen's assumption, the translator himself was processing it, and he spoke for five minutes, and then repeated,

The gates on all three sides are carried out except for the one at the back.

The soldiers on the city wall sometimes get angry and shoot a few arrows, but they have no power from here.

Easily block for the shield soldier next to you.

The translator kept shouting, and when he was tired, he would take a break to drink his saliva, and then continue shouting.

Many of the people on the side of the city wall heard it, and they also knew that many people had fled to the Tang Dynasty through the Khitan.

Datang has always given them the impression of benevolence and courtesy.

They never thought that Datang was responsible for this incident, because Datang finally sent grain, although the price was a little more expensive.

But they were all snatched away by the soldiers.

The sprout of mutation is slowly rising in the hearts of many people, and it is also wearing down the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

An hour later, the Tang Dynasty's army finally moved, attacking the city at the same time in the west, north and south, and guarding it by 50,000 cavalry in the east.

30,000 infantry were sent from each direction on three sides, as well as siege equipment, and strong crossbows were supported in the distance, which were all composite three-bow strong crossbows developed by Li Shen, with great power and long range.

And trebuchets. Ladders, door-slamming cars, and more.

The three city gates are commanded by two generals at each city gate, Li Tao with Qiu Xiaozhong, Zhang Liang with Qi Bi He Li, Ashina Sheer and Li Simo.

And Li Daozong, as the deputy marshal, followed Li Chengqian,

And Li Shen also followed Li Chengqian to sit on the high platform and look into the distance with a telescope.

"Woo~~~~~"

"Boom.... Boom..... Boom. ”

The trumpet sounded on behalf of the charge, and the thunderous drums boosted morale. The soldiers of Datang bravely rushed forward.

This may have been a war that went down in history and fired the first shot at the conquest of Goguryeo.
