Chapter 1137 Some Things Are Hard to Forget Once You've Seen It
On the streets, soldiers in armor remained where they had seen yesterday, and at most, some of them were able to find some shelter from the rain against the wall.
But these places can't hide everyone, and even the heavy rain like yesterday can barely cover anything.
But the soldiers spent the night in the rain in the second half of the night, without noise, without noise, without complaining, without harassment.
They were like silent machines, just staying where they were, quietly waiting for the dawn.
It was already dark, but the soldiers were still resting in place.
Until, the officer, who had also spent the night in the rain, stood up and gave the order to advance.
The soldiers quickly got up from their place, then quickly combined with an unimaginable speed to form a neat line, and then quickly began to walk towards the outside of the golden city amid the sound of slogans.
All the people of Silla had an indescribable shock and inexplicable touch, and they didn't know where this emotion came about, and these soldiers were not Silla soldiers, but it was precisely because of this that they were even more shocked.
This is not the Tang Dynasty, if they are the people of the Tang Dynasty, these soldiers will treat them like this, but they are not the people of the Tang Dynasty.
But they still walk the talk, as if they were all made of steel.
……
Silla Palace, Jindeman, who knew the news, was also shocked, "You mean...... The soldiers of Datang were drenched in the rain all night, and they did not disturb them, and they moved half a step to avoid the rain or enter the homes of nearby residents? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Queen, including General Li Daozong, is also drenched in rain, because it is a rapid march, they are ready to advance 600 miles in ten days, and 60 miles a day, so they just carry dry food and weapons, and the logistics materials will be transported by the soldiers at the dock to hire our people to go to the destination, and it is estimated that it will arrive two days late."
General Kim's expression was somewhat envious, such an elite army, almost forbidden by order, without any complaints, was the soldier that any general could dream of.
And these soldiers appeared on Datang's body.
Fortunately, it is Datang's body.
"This ...... Unbelievable. Kindman was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine such an army.
"Fortunately, such an army belongs to the Tang Dynasty." General Kim said.
"Indeed, their will is amazing, Datang's strict military discipline is also impressive, there is no need to find a way to let them use us on the road, this routine does not work, from the moment I came here, Datang obviously thought very clearly."
"They are here under the banner of stabilizing the situation, and they will not use anything from us, but you can discuss with General Li Daozong, and if the situation allows, you can let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty eat a hot meal."
"You can borrow grain from the county towns along our way to them, and General Li said that it is temporarily lent to them, and when the logistics of the follow-up Datang are delivered, they can be returned to us." Jindeman pondered for a moment before speaking.
She also saw a lot of things, since Datang didn't want to owe them favors, because Datang wanted to be a fair and just suzerain, since this was the case, then it should be okay to borrow grain temporarily, right?
It's not for free, but they need to pay it back.
"Yes!"
Li Daozong led 5,000 soldiers out of Jincheng, after leaving Jincheng, after the rain stopped, he found a place where there were not many people around, Li Daozong ordered to rest in place, light a fire, and dry the clothes on his body first.
Armor may feel stuffy during the day, but when it rains, it barely has any effect on keeping warm.
Therefore, if the clothes of these soldiers are not dried in time in one night, it is easy to get sick if they continue, and it is possible to make them sick if they carry it for one night.
Fortunately, it's summer, and now the climate is hot, even if it rains, you can't go anywhere, even if it's spring and autumn, you have to find a way to avoid the rain in that situation yesterday.
The fire was soon burning, and some of the packets of herbs they were carrying quickly began to boil, and then the soldiers were told to drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold, and when their clothes were dry, they set off again.
How much shock did last night's behavior to the people of Silla in Jincheng Li Daozong didn't know, but what he did know was that the reputation of the Tang army in Silla would soon spread.
After all, the country itself is not big, and it is not as large as the Shaanxi Prefecture around Chang'an.
The population is not comparable to that of the Guanzhong Plain, so the speed of this news transmission is very fast, and Li Daozong knows these things in his heart.
In the follow-up journey, Li Daozong and the others resolutely implemented the established strategy, in fact, it is not a special strategy, anyway, just treat this place as the land of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, not now, it is estimated that it will be soon in the future, so it was rehearsed in advance at that time.
Nine days later, Yi Daozong and his men rushed to their target city, which was the salient point of the joint defense line of Silla and Baekje against Goguryeo.
If the city could not be taken, it would not have been possible for the Goguryeo army to penetrate deep into Silla anyway.
But at the moment, the city is not at the forefront, and in front of it, there is a county seat, which is to be abandoned according to the established plan.
But because Goguryeo has not yet attacked, for the time being, the city will definitely not take the initiative to give up, but it is ready to give up.
After arriving in the city, Li Daozong quickly took over the supreme defense of the entire city, and the 1,000 Silla defenders in the city were quickly placed under the command of Li Daozong.
After Lee Dojong came here, Cheng Yanjin, who was located in Baekje, also rushed to the only city in Baekje at about the same time.
After all, their strategies are all about the same, and the area of this peninsula is not large, if it is a large-scale rainy weather, it must be about the same.
In fact, these cities had already been selected by Lee Dojong before they came to Silla and Baekje, and the locations of these cities were also carefully selected.
The length of their defensive line is about 200 kilometers, but the eastern part is mountainous, and the terrain inside is extremely difficult to walk, and many important terrain is difficult to cross on a single person.
Therefore, Li Daozong, the frontal defense line they need to defend is only about 100 kilometers wide.
Because of the mountainous terrain in the east, even if Goguryeo's army bypassed, there were not enough supplies, and it was almost impossible for them to make a large-scale march.
It is even more impossible to carry a large amount of baggage, etc., and if it is just soldiers coming, the threat is too small.
This is a war in the era of cold weapons, and soldiers are very important, and baggage is also very important.
Therefore, as long as three or four important cities such as the mountains in the east are handed over to Silla's own thousands of defenders, the rest can hardly be ignored.
In this part of the western part of the flat area, Li Daozong decided to control three cities, arranged in an approximate zigzag pattern, with a distance of about 30 to 40 li from each other.
