Chapter 1431 Postscript: The Ruins of the Bronze Sheep Fort Battlefield

The description of this section of the city wall is naturally recorded with the first large-scale use of gunpowder in the war of the Tang Dynasty, because this officially appeared as a weapon in the army sequence of the Tang Dynasty, and it was indeed this time that it was only for Goguryeo that it began to be publicized to the outside world.

There's nothing wrong with recording it here.

Leaving Liaoyang City, Li Ke's next target is Tongyang Fort, which is not a very big city, even the current Datang is not large.

But because it retains the most important battle of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo, the Battle of Tongyangbao, it has also been repeatedly mentioned in the history books of the Tang Dynasty because of this.

Therefore, Tongyang Fort still retains the ruins of the Tongyang Fort war.

Although Li Ke guessed that this battlefield site was most likely rebuilt later, or built later, after all, because there was no big battle at that time, it was difficult to preserve such things as battlefield ruins.

After all, this is not the era of muskets and cannons, a city was bombarded into ruins by artillery, and the ruins of the battlefield can be left behind, and the battlefield ruins of the cold weapon era can only tell you that this is the place where the war took place.

When he arrived at the local area, Li Ke knew what the battlefield ruins were, in fact, it was just like what he thought, that is, to enclose the small city of the original Tongyang Fort, and the city wall of this small city must have been rebuilt many times later, according to the most primitive method, made of rammed earth.

However, there are still a few large rusty crossbow bolts stuck in the city walls, which are also used as a kind of battlefield relics.

Although Li Ke has read a detailed report on the truth here, he has really not been to the local area.

"Tongyangbao Battlefield Site: It is an ambush site where the Tang Dynasty surrounded Goguryeo and 80,000 soldiers supporting the front-line battlefield in Liaodong, and it is the largest complete ambush battle in history and the attacker ended with zero casualties, and it is also another form of information warfare."

"As the main commander of the Tang Army at that time, General Li Shiji completed the command of this campaign, and the Tang Army at that time was ambushed on the surrounding hills, because the Tang Army completely controlled all the information initiative of the entire battlefield in the early stage with the tactics of breaking the whole into parts."

"Let Goguryeo's rear and front completely lose contact, and Goguryeo can't sit back and watch the complete collapse of the Liaodong front, so it can only take the risk of advancing."

"In the end, it led to the birth of this battle, and in this battle there were also several singing and crying figures, as the most important commander of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiji, and cavalry generals, not to mention Qibi He Li and others, heroes also appeared in Goguryeo."

"Among them, Hudar, the main leading general of Goguryeo at that time, was the mainstay."

"Hudar: Born in an unknown date, died in the 26th year of the Tang Dynasty, a member of the Goryeo ethnic group, born in the Xi nomadic tribe, and later became a general of Goguryeo, in the process of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo, in order to promote ethnic integration and national unification made important contributions."

"For the lives of 80,000 ordinary Goryeo soldiers, in order not to let them die in vain, he decisively chose to surrender, but after all the ordinary soldiers surrendered safely and made sure that the Tang Dynasty treated them peacefully, he chose to commit suicide to preserve his glory as a soldier and a Goguryeo general."

"There may not be a right or wrong in the war, but he did not let ordinary soldiers use their lives to fulfill his glory, and he did not let ordinary soldiers use their lives to bear the mistakes of high-ranking Goguryeo officials and emperors."

There is also a statue of Hudar on the site of the Tongyang Fort battlefield, Li Ke looked at the introduction under the statue, and the writing is quite good, of course, there must be some beautification in it, but it doesn't matter.

The choice made by Hudar is indeed worthy of a certain beautification of him, and these news are conducive to the unity of the Tang Dynasty.

On the opposite side of Hudar, there was also a statue of a person riding a horse, Li Ke walked over to take a look, but found that this was actually a statue of an ordinary soldier.

"Liu San: He was just an ordinary captain of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo, and he single-handedly faced the 80,000 Goguryeo army independently without changing his face, and pointed out the location of the Tang Dynasty's siege artifact at that time, which greatly shocked the Goguryeo soldiers, shook the military heart of the Goguryeo soldiers, and made an important impact on the subsequent surrender of the Goguryeo general Hudar."

"This statue was painted by a Goguryeo soldier who had a certain painting foundation at that time, and saw the image of Liu San on the front line in person, and then painted it with his own memory."

"He said that at that time, he didn't understand why the other party dared to approach them alone, but when Goguryeo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he would understand it after he became a common man of the Tang Dynasty for a few years."

Because behind him was the entire Tang Dynasty, the most powerful country in the world at that time, and he also supported him with his inner beliefs. Because of these, he had the courage to face tens of thousands of soldiers without fear. ”

After watching the entire battlefield, Li Ke was a little helpless, and it could be seen that the local government had also made a lot of efforts to develop the economy and tourism.

These things are all in one sentence, try to enrich the content of the battlefield and enrich the content of this scenic spot.

It doesn't matter if some things are far-fetched or not, anyway, you can find things that can be found in the history books.

For most people, when they come here, they don't really want to find out whether these attractions are really handed down from ancient times.

As long as they feel that these are handed down.

In fact, what can be passed down is not these ruins, relics, etc., the core that can really be passed down is culture, and culture is the most important component of a civilization.

If the culture is lost, even if you are given a relic here, you don't know how to introduce it, and you don't know much about it.

For example, the pyramid that stands there, the thing is still there, and it can be called a miracle in the history of mankind, but its descendants have lost all the culture associated with it.

Language, customs, and so on are completely different, and even many ancient languages have been lost, and when these things are gone, even if the ruins are shocked, it has no meaning, and even many people will not protect it and love it.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of a civilization.

And now Datang is a brilliant civilization, a civilization that has been handed down.

But in Li Ke's mind, there is another civilization that has been passed down.

Yesterday, Li Ke had already thought about what he wanted to do, in fact, it was very simple, he was going to write a set of books, the title of which was "If there is no Holy Sect in this world".
