Chapter 385: The Battle of Liaoshui

When Li Shen saw the signal flare on the other side, his lungs were about to explode.

In order to be unexpected, Li Shen gave Qi Bi He Li two signal flares, just in case there was a bad one or lost, and there was still a spare.

But when he saw that the two on the other side were ringing, Li Shen scolded Qi Qi He Li in his heart, this fool, just ring one, what do you have to waste one.

If you go back, you have to deduct your wages.

Li Chengqian's side had actually been ready for a long time, and he had been waiting for the signal on the other side, and when he saw the signal flare in the sky, Li Chengqian waved his hand.

"Crossing the river~~"

"Woo~~Woo~~~"

The horn of the attack sounded, the soldiers began to build pontoon bridges, and some of the soldiers who knew how to swim jumped into the river.

Nearly 30,000 horses led by Qibi He Li have taken him by surprise and occupied the shore fortifications by surprise. So there was no harassment in building a pontoon bridge here.

The three pontoon bridges were quickly erected, and the soldiers ran to the other side of the river to join the battle group.

They have already received the news that it is their own person who has a strip of cloth on their heads, so they will not be injured by mistake.

The Tang army continued to pour from the west of the river to the east of the river. The results of the battle on the east bank are getting bigger and bigger, and General Gao is also killed by an arrow from Kim En during the battle, which is his name.

The Goguryeo soldiers were defeated and retreated, and without the command of the main general, it could only be a plate of scattered sand.

After the archers of the Tang Dynasty crossed the river, Goguryeo finally began to rout, and long-range strikes were always the top priority no matter what time they were.

The Goguryeo soldiers scattered and fled, while the Tang army followed closely behind, grabbing prisoners everywhere.

It's a pity that the cavalry of the Tang army didn't pass behind, otherwise it would have been easier to pursue.

Emperor Yang of Sui's first battle of Liaoshui ended in failure, but he didn't expect to be crossed by the Tang Army so quickly.

Li Shimin can blow this matter for a lifetime.

It's just that even Li Shen, who doesn't know anything, understands that there were hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people and horses guarding Liaoshui back then, and at that time it was also when Goguryeo soldiers were strong and strong.

Now there are only 50,000 people, and many of them are strong men, and there is no comparison at all.

But what will be written in the annals of history, Li Shen does not know.

Li Shen followed Li Chengqian across the Liaoshui, standing on the east bank of the Liaoshui, Li Chengqian was full of spirit, and he did not expect that in just a few days he would be able to do what his predecessors could not do.

It would be much easier to cross the Liaoshui, and Li Chengqian ordered to set up camp, re-stabilize the pontoon bridge, and let the cavalry come over.

At night, in Li Chengqian's marshal tent, Qi He Li was reporting the results of the battle.

"Marshal Qiyu, we have killed more than 13,000 enemies, captured more than 22,000 enemy troops, and more than 10,000 people have fled.

This time, General Kim made a great contribution and killed the defending general with an arrow. ”

Qi Bi He Li is also a demoted general, so he knows how to treat a demoted general, and sometimes the credit still has to be given. Especially this kind of credit for the nomination.

"Okay~~ I will write a battle report, and when the time comes, I will be rewarded for my meritorious deeds." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

He Li continued.

"Our army lost more than 4,500 killed and wounded more than 7,000."

Li Chengqian was somewhat sad after hearing this, the author forgot to write about the total number of people killed in the first siege battle, and the second time there were more than 4,500 people, and more than 15,000 people were lost in just two battles, not counting the wounded.

"Marshal, there are no undead on the battlefield, and in the siege war, because of the marshal's strategy, we lost half of our men, which is already a very good result.

Moreover, this kind of big war will cause greater casualties, and small-scale battles will not kill and wound so many people. Li Daozong explained on the side, and also glanced at Li Shen, who was gnawing meat.

In front of so many people, he robbed Li Chengqian of the credit, and also told everyone how to tell them after they went back, and they actually wanted to write a war report.

was worried that Li Shen had emotions and opinions, but when he saw Li Shen attacking a piece of meat like a fool,

Li Daozong felt that he was also a fool, how could such a prince compete for the crown.

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed, although he knew that this was to brush up his prestige, but he always felt a little embarrassed, so he said;

"Uncle Huang, this is mainly due to the tenth brother. Hongu is just giving orders. ”

Li Shen raised his head from the meat, his face was full of greasy, and said to Li Chengqian with a smile;

"Big brother, it was originally your order, what does it have to do with me, don't add me when you write the battle report. I need to recuperate. ”

After saying that, he continued to attack the meat in his hand.

Li Chengqian looked at this younger brother, and his heart was indeed very warm.

Since he became the crown prince, he has not felt what family affection is, his own brothers want to fight with him, let alone other people.

Only Li Shen has true feelings for him, treat him as a big brother, and don't ask for anything in return, in Li Shen's words, you can't afford to repay him now.

It wasn't until late at night that all the cavalry crossed the Liaoshui, and Li Chengqian and others also discussed until midnight what they needed to do next.

Before them were three cities, the city of Nansu to the south, the city of Hengshan to the east, and the new city.

"Generals, give the order that the army rest for three days, and send scouts to inquire about the information of the three cities and the situation of the defenders.

The trick of surrender has failed, and the more than 10,000 people who have fled back will definitely inform the defenders of the situation here. ”

Li Chengqian gave an order.

"Marshal, according to the plan, you should stay in command of Wu Liluo, not cross Liaoshui." Li Daozong on the side suddenly said,

After passing the boundary in front of Liaoshui, it is big, and there are too many variables. If Li Chengqian had three strengths and two shortcomings, none of them would have survived.

"Uncle Huang, back then, I, Aye, was also fighting on the battlefield, how could I hide behind my back as the crown prince, isn't this a joke.

Uncle Huang can rest assured, the palace will not go to the front of the battle, but just wants to be closer to the battlefield. This is also convenient for command. Li Chengqian said magnificently.

Li Shen seems to be a little floating, and he is a little complacent about the two victories.

"Big brother, I think it's important for you to write a song to mobilize grain from the country, and as for the seeds, I will write back to Wang Hongfu and ask him to transport them.

And the little brother seems to be subtle, our number is too small, it is impossible to leave soldiers to guard every place, which requires us to develop the local people for our use,

Big brother, this is the people's war, first of all, let them be fed. ”

Li Shen told the truth, they only had more than 200,000 horses in total, 50,000 horses left in Wuliluo, and 200,000 horses.

Can't every city be guarded by people, won't the combat effectiveness be reduced?

Therefore, the development of the people of Goguryeo is the key, let them recognize the Tang Army, recognize the Tang Dynasty, and let them help protect the city.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, this is Li Shen's strength. So he smiled maliciously at Li Shen.

"Then the commander ordered that the governor of the army should be in charge of this matter."

(I hate bear kids so much now that I broke my wipers, and the surveillance is real.) I'll send you a song, "The Time Has Not Come")
