The Tang army was leisurely holding their own archery competition in the camp, while the Goguryeon army had been very busy these past few days. The vanguard army that had been defeated that day had somehow learned of the arrival of reinforcements, and they had rushed to the alliance army camp in groups. At first, they were worried that the Tang army would stop them, but after discovering that the Tang army had won the battle, they hid in their own camp like rats and refused to come out. The number of people rushing to the alliance army camp increased, and they were like tired birds returning to their nests. Tens of thousands of them were dressed in rags. He was as listless as a beggar. He had also fled for a few days. In his hurry, he naturally did not bring any food and even threw his weapons into the gutter.
After munching on the grass and tree bark for a few days, these tens of thousands of defeated Goguryeon soldiers were like hungry wolves, howling as they charged towards the alliance army camp.
"Haha, that's great. With the return of these tens of thousands of soldiers, I'll be the commander of the alliance army again.”Quangaesomun slapped his thigh and laughed happily. The generals in the tent also congratulated Quangaesomun in unison. Some of them even clamored for a life-and-death battle with the Tang army in a few days.
Mr. Mu, who was standing behind Gaesomun, coldly looked at the smug expressions of the generals. He lowered his head and shouted coldly,"Viceroy, have you forgotten the alliance agreement we made? If we don't drive away these defeated troops now, there will definitely be changes, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”
A burly general who usually disliked Mr. Mu cursed, his beard shaking,""You Han, how treacherous! These are all our Goguryeon warriors, and it wasn't easy for us to save their lives. Why are you chasing them away?”
"It's the Han people who are cowardly and foolish to come up with such a plan.”The generals cursed.
"Hmph, if the Han are so cowardly, then why is it that Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are vassal states of the Great Tang, yet the Great Tang has never once worshipped Goguryeo?”Mr. Mu retorted disdainfully.
This was the truth, but it hurt the Korean soldiers 'hearts and poked their reverse scale. Some of the hot-tempered generals even drew their weapons and prepared to " kill this monster with their own hands."
As expected, the gloomy face of Quang Gaesomun shouted at the people in the tent," Shut up! This is my tent! Are you trying to rebel?”
Speaking of which, Quangai Suwen's eagle-like eyes and eyebrows were sharp like an eagle even when he was angry. The generals in the tent were shocked. They glared at Mr. Mu angrily and muttered as they sat back in their seats.
"Mister Mu, it's not that the Goguryeons are inferior to the Central Plains, but that Liaodong is inferior to the Central Plains. So, please don't mention this in front of me in the future.”
Mr. Mu didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he secretly sneered and bowed to Gaesomun. Although the Han people of this era had been ravaged by the five barbarians, they still had the heroic spirit of a self-reliant Han people. They hadn't been corrupted by the Confucians that had changed their taste. Even as traitors, they had done such a wonderful job. They were really domineering.
Unlike the Braids Dynasty and the Chinese people in the movies who had been enslaved from the bones, they had long lost the integrity of their ancestors.
Even after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, facing the 1998 Southeast Asian University. Slaughter. Killing them was only a serious protest and condemnation. They were afraid of interference when sending troops, affecting the economy, and affecting the fate of the country. However, no matter what excuse they had, they should not swallow their anger. The people of China lived only for their face. What was the taste of living without face?
The reason why Americans were so patriotic was because they could mobilize an army for a citizen. In China, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people were just a few words of condemnation. The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were so praised by the Chinese was because the Han and Tang Dynasties were so honorable.
This kind of country was sometimes disappointing. In the end, they could only create a deformed divine beast like the River Crab to cover up their own humiliation. However, no matter how far the Chinese Dynasty developed in the future, that humiliation would forever be engraved on the government of that period. Because at that moment, their performance was really no different from that of the Braids Dynasty.
He had said a little too much, so he returned to the main topic.
"Tell me your reason." Quangaesomun knew that Mr. Mu was not speaking without reason.
Mr. Mu still looked indifferent, as if he did not hear the unpredictable threat in Quangesomun's words. He said," Firstly, these defeated troops have returned for several days. Through their mouths, the Tang army has spread the horror of that night's attack and their invincibility like a plague in the military camp. Even though they have issued a forbidden order, they are still discussing it in private. If this goes on, morale will be greatly affected. Although we have a better plan to obtain greater benefits, we can't let the allied army's fighting strength decline rapidly. It will be in our best interest if the other allied armies fight to the death with the Tang army.
Secondly, it was a good thing that our side's strength had increased, but it had inadvertently disrupted the Governor's plan. If that weakling Fuyu Yici, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, gave up on the position of commander of the alliance army, wouldn't the Governor's plan be put on hold? With that plan, it was not worth it to fight the Tang army to the death at this stage.
Third, he he could just bring the defeated army back to the country. First, he could regroup. Second, it would be easier to make a move when the time came.”
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but Mister Mu's words made Quangaesomun hesitate. Should he let go?
However, in the end, Quangaesomun accepted Mister Mu's suggestion and reprimanded the defeated army before sending them back to Goguryeo. Quangaesomun's strength declined instead of rising, stabilizing Fuyu Yici's wavering heart.
At this time, the Tang army was once again engaged in a strategic discussion.
"Great Marshal, An City is filled with soldiers, so it won't be easy to capture it. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I've decided that while the Goguryeon alliance army is still gathering the defeated soldiers, I should personally lead the Dragon Cavalry to bypass An City and attack Blackbone City. According to my intelligence, the city lord of Black Bone City is already very old, and the army will definitely reach Xike. The other small cities will also run away. As long as we collect the food and supplies in these cities, the army will not be short of supplies. Then, we will take advantage of the victory and advance. On the other hand, the commander wants to hold back the Goguryeon army and the Baekje army on the front lines. Our Dragon Riders will be able to sweep through the Goguryeon rear lines, and once we break through the empty North Korea, the Goguryeon army will lose all will to fight.”
Li Zhi cupped his fists and said solemnly. His eyes were fixed on Li Jing, and his heart was filled with urgency.
" No!" Zhangsun Wuji immediately jumped out after hearing that.
Li Zhi sighed in his heart. There were always twists and turns in the world, and there was never a lack of people who opposed it.
"The Crown Prince is different from the other Generals. He can't take the risk with a fluke heart. There are still more than 100,000 soldiers in An City and Jian An City. If we go around them and attack Blackbone City, what if the two cities 'armies come out in full force and attack us from behind? Therefore, I think we should first break through An City, then take Jian 'an, and then march forward. This is a foolproof plan.”
Zhangsun Wuji's worries were not without reason. Liaodong was cold early. If this dragged on, when the vegetation dried up and the river froze, the logistics of the Tang army would be even more difficult. At that time, a large number of soldiers and horses might not die on the battlefield but freeze to death in the snow.
If they followed Li Zhi's strategy, bypassing An City and heading straight for Peking would seem like a wonderful move to win by surprise, but the supply line of the Dragon Riders would definitely be longer.
If the enemy did not attack the city, then the Dragon Knights would be in a predicament of lack of supplies, hunger, and cold. If the defense of Hanoi was not as weak as people thought, but as smelly and hard as An City, then the Dragon Knights would be in a predicament of being attacked from both sides. For example, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat on his first expedition because of a detour and lack of rations.
Of course, if they didn't use the detour plan, they would have to face the threat of Liaodong's early winter if they wanted to pull out An City. If they still couldn't take down An City in winter, then Li Lijing could only choose to withdraw his troops, and this expedition would be in vain.
For a time, the question of whether or not to take a detour had become the most decisive move in the Korean War. All the generals fell silent and considered their own advantages and disadvantages.
Li Zhi looked at Li Jing anxiously. He took a deep breath and said seriously,"Grand Marshal and all the generals, please listen to me.
I believe that the use of "surprise" in war refers to attacking where the enemy is unprepared and attacking when the enemy is not expecting it. When fighting with the enemy, the feint tactic of disturbing the enemy in front and attacking the enemy in the back, attacking the enemy in the east and attacking the enemy in the west was used to confuse the enemy and make them not know how to defend themselves. This was the only way to win.
Just as the art of war said,"Attack when the enemy is unprepared and take them by surprise."
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei army attacked Shu.
Jiang Wei led his troops to retreat eastward and returned to the Sword Garret to defend. Wei general Zhong Hui led his troops to attack Jiang Wei, but failed to win.
Deng Ai, the Great General of the Western Expedition, had the best plan. He used a surprising tactic to directly attack the enemy's core area. Then, Jiang Wei's army defending the Sword Garret would definitely return to Fucheng, and Zhong Hui's troops would be able to march straight through the main road. If Jiang Wei's army from Sword Pavilion did not return to help, then there would be very few reinforcements from Fu City.
The military book said," Attack where the enemy is defenseless and attack when the enemy is unaware." Great Commander, if we can launch a surprise attack on the enemy's weak spot, defeating the Goguryeon army will be inevitable.”
Deng Ai had personally taken the risk and led his army to advance from Yinping Road. They had actually passed through more than 700 miles of uninhabited land, chiseling mountains to open up roads and setting up boardwalks. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep. It's difficult to advance. The grain transportation will be cut off and we're almost in a desperate situation. It's more than ten times more difficult than our Tang army today.
Deng Ai personally wrapped himself in a blanket and rolled down the mountain. The soldiers were encouraged by him and climbed the trees and cliffs, moving forward one by one like fish in the water. As a result, Deng Ai's troops successfully advanced to Jiangyou City, where Ma Miao, the general of the Shu army, surrendered without fighting.
Deng Ai sent his son Deng Zhong to attack the right wing of the Shu army. Sima Shizuan led his troops to attack the left wing of the Shu army. However, Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan were defeated and retreated, saying,""The enemy is invincible." Deng Ai was furious when he heard this." The boundary between life and death is today's battle. How can there be any undefeatable outcome?"”
Deng Zhong and Shi Zuan quickly went out to fight again. As a result, they defeated the Shu army, killed Zhuge Zhan and Zhang Zun, the minister of history, and took advantage of the victory to advance to Luo County, north of Chengdu. With the Wei army approaching Chengdu, Liu Chan, the Latter Ruler of Shu, was forced to send an envoy to Deng Ai to ask for surrender. The Wei army then destroyed Shu.
Now that I think about it, although our Tang army is much stronger than the Goguryeons, the price we have to pay to defeat the Goguryeon army is simply too great. Our army now has eighty thousand soldiers on land and water, and although we still have a winning streak, the enemy is four times our number. With such a good plan, how can we disregard the lives of tens of thousands of Great Tang soldiers just because of me?”
After saying that, Li Zhi knelt down on one knee, clenched his teeth, and cupped his fists to beg.
Li Jing hurriedly went forward to help Li Zhi up. He sighed and hesitated for a moment before patting Li Zhi, the crown prince who was the least like a crown prince, on the shoulder."Your Highness, don't worry. If even one of the 320,000 soldiers of the Goguryeon army returns from the main camp, I, Li Jing, will behead them for you. In addition, have Ye Xu and Jing Ye follow you. Although one of you is a ruler and the other is a subject, they have been following the Crown Prince since young. If anything happens to the Crown Prince, they don't have to return. Also, have that godlike Xue Rengui follow them. He can protect the Crown Prince at the critical moment.”
Li Zhi was shocked, but he forced a smile on his face. He cupped his hands at Li Jing and left the camp.
Behind him, Zhangsun Wuji frowned and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he could not change the fate of the monarch.
The lovely dividing line.
"Hahaha, that's great! This time, I'm going to slaughter Goguryeo and turn it upside down!”Li Jingye was still as arrogant as ever, waving his fists in the air.
"This time, we'll let those Goguryeon bastards see the methods of our Great Tang's soldiers. Party leader, shouldn't we also try out your 'Three Robbery Policy'? Robbing silver, wine, and women?”Du He's eyes were filled with excitement as she jumped.
" Idiot, it's the 'Three-All Policy'. Burn, kill, rob, and say that you're uncultured and a cooked duck. You're stubborn and refuse to admit it.”Li Jingye gave Du He a chestnut on the head, which immediately made the excited Du He go berserk and start fighting with Li Jingye.
The others also had fanatical expressions on their faces. Li Zhi was a little afraid now. The influence of the thoughts that he usually instilled into these people was so great. These second-generation officials had lived under the shadow of their fathers and grandfathers for a long time. Were they especially aggrieved? Li Zhi now understood why these second-generation heirs in his previous life had raised the flag and rebelled one after another. It seemed that their ordinary lives had made them feel very empty. He needed to find something exciting.
"You can have what Xiao He said, and you can also have what Jingye said, but the premise is that I have taught you all the skills on horseback over the years. How about it? Don't become a coward when the time comes.”Li Zhi still admired this kind of aggressiveness.
The few popinjays looked at each other, and Li Jingye burst into laughter." Party leader, watch carefully. I can draw two bows and shoot arrows like rain. People call me Little Xiang Yu."”
"Let's go, let's go, let's go to the Martial Arts Practice Field and let you see my martial strength.”Du He gave Li Jingye a thumbs up. Li Jingye was furious, and the two of them immediately rushed toward the training field.
"Let's go and take a look too." Li Zhi was still a little worried and wanted to take a look.
A group of silkpants charged towards the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Oh Goguryeo, the true iron hooves are about to descend. Are you ready?
The lovely dividing line.
Some readers felt that this book wasn't iron-blooded enough, and this made Little Demon feel very awkward. This was because Little Demon's style of writing this book was supposed to be comical. However, your request is my standard. The Long March to Goguryeo will be iron-blooded, so let the massacres and killings be more intense.
Today's chapter three, by the way, where are the recommendation votes? Where, where
In addition, the little demons did not rebel. Party, rebellion. The people.
