Chapter 1336: Routine Persuasion
And Khudar also made it clear that the premise of the heavy cavalry charge was that the enemy did not stop them, but only let them go and charge the enemy's phalanx of spears, if the enemy was covered with a rain of arrows......
Datang's already strong armor-piercing three-edged iron arrows, with the blessing of the cavalry's speed, the result of crashing head-on was already clear to him.
On the way, Goguryeo suffered too many losses on these armor-piercing arrows, and the arrows fired by the Tang cavalry alone in the past few days have caused them heavy losses.
A considerable number of the soldiers who died were killed by arrows.
But what Hudar didn't know was that at this moment, right in front of him, on several boulders at the foot of the mountain in the southwest, Li Shiji and other major generals were holding binoculars and observing him.
"It's easier than we thought." Li Shiji said with a smile.
That's because he didn't think that the Liaodong front line had already fallen, and in his opinion, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty's forces to be so concentrated, after all, there were still so many Goguryeo territories. And there is also Qi Bi He Li who has been provoking them, attracting his attention and making him have no time to think too much. Hou Junji shook his head and said.
"What's more, judging from the information, he is not the kind of general who is good at thinking."
"But General Li, if you don't take the opportunity to attack now, do you want to persuade you to surrender?" Hou Junji asked.
"I don't think it's possible to persuade me to surrender, didn't the news from the Ministry of Intelligence say that this person is unusually loyal to Yuangai Suwen? He should and will not surrender to Datang no matter what. Wei Chi Jingde shook his head and said.
"Persuasion is to persuade surrender, but if you want to teach them a lesson, you can persuade them to surrender directly, they will definitely be unwilling." Li Shiji shook his head and said.
"Tsk, I want to see how powerful the city-breaking mines we bury can be." Hou Junji was very interested.
They planted four city-breaking mines in the four directions of the city there, not because they didn't want to bury more, but because they only had such a point in the detonation line in their hands, and the four detonation lines were 300 meters each. But at that time, some of the buried were too close to the city, and according to the position of the enemy's defensive line, they had to advance to 200 meters before they could connect the detonator.
They are still some distance away from the hiding place of the detonation line, and they don't understand the principle of this detonation line, Li Shiji, but it is said that it has something to do with the electric lights in Datang Sleepless City, and they don't understand what kind of electric detonation is.
However, that thing needs to be connected to a box first, and then the handle on the box can be directly detonated.
"We'll see." Li Shiji shook his head and said, "But I'm more interested in our bow and arrow coverage, with their current formation, it is indeed the best defensive formation, but they have considered one thing wrong, or they didn't expect that the number of bed crossbows in our hands would be so terrifying." ”
"Large bed crossbows aside, it's enough for these medium-sized bed crossbows to break their formation."
"Let's go, let's go down, go to the front line, and talk to each other first." Li Shiji said.
Several people immediately descended from the boulder.
The army of the Tang Dynasty is still approaching, and in order to prevent the surprise attack of the Tang Dynasty, Hudar has continuously gathered all the troops, with the city as the center of the circle, and gathered into a circle.
This can indeed avoid Datang's direct surprise attack from a certain angle, but Li Shiji really wants to ask, what if I don't raid, but directly cover it with a bow and arrow? What should you do?
It can be said that when Datang surrounded them, they had already fallen into a dead end.
When the Tang army advanced to a distance of three hundred meters from the enemy's defensive line, all the troops stopped advancing.
In the sky, two golden eagles were hovering in search of their prey, but at the moment, within their line of sight, the dense crowd of people on the ground below formed a huge circle.
The same dense crowd was surrounded in the middle.
There used to be a lot of prey here, but now the presence of these people has made the prey nowhere to be seen, and they have to turn in other directions.
Hudar looked at the Tang army that had advanced to a few hundred steps away, he took a deep breath, he had already seen the banner of the enemy commander, Hudar also came down directly from the city wall, rode straight to the front line.
He knew that since Datang did not attack immediately, he obviously wanted to talk about it.
Khudar did not recommend talking about it and seeing if he could find some opportunities while he could take the opportunity.
When Li Shiji arrived at the front line, he gave a direct order without any hesitation, and he directly took two guards and went straight to the middle of the confrontation between the two armies with the handsome flag.
When he almost reached the middle position, Li Shiji grabbed the reins of his horse.
Hudar took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he directly took the two people and carried his handsome flag to the position in the middle of the two armies.
When Khadar arrived at a distance of about ten meters from Li Shiji, he also stopped his horse.
"The Tang Dynasty is fighting against Li Shiji, the commander-in-chief of Goryeo, you are Hudar." Li Shiji introduced himself calmly.
Hudar was stunned for a moment, although he may have some fame in Goguryeo, but in Datang, he probably didn't have any fame, but Li Shiji actually knew his name?
However, he really knew Li Shiji's name, because Li Shiji had been in charge of the border between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo for less than a year or two, and Goguryeo could still find out this information.
"It turned out to be General Li, and I Gaoli took your Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, but your Tang Dynasty had no shame and directly invaded my Goryeo, but when I was no one in Goryeo?" Hudar said directly and loudly.
Li Shiji smiled, who said that this person with a bad brain can't speak? You see, it's not an excuse, it's a good idea, right?
Li Shiji naturally didn't care about his words, he just said lightly: "Yes, you are right, when you have no one in Goryeo, you Goryeo invaded Silla three times and twice, or you will unite with Baekje to invade Silla, and regard the will of my Tang Majesty as nothing." From that time on, you Goryeo will be my enemy of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"In recent years, you Gaoli have become more and more distracted from my Tang Dynasty, how can there be such a national call in the world? If you are such a disloyal and unrighteous person, even if you wag your tail and beg for mercy from Datang, Datang will pay it off! But my Majesty the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really a benevolent and righteous king, and before we marched into the army, I repeatedly told me that I didn't want to kill more. ”
"Your Highness said that your Goryeo people are also the people, and the wrong things done by the Goryeo royal family and Goryeo nobles should not be borne by the Goryeo people, so I came to see you today and give you a chance to surrender."
Li Shiji looked at him and said in a calm tone.
"If General Li is just trying to persuade him to surrender, then there is no need to say more." Hudar sneered.
