Li Shimin said: "Ashina Teqin, you immediately transfer your troops to attack the northern city of Rouyuan County. Now Du Qi's forces in Rouyuan County are concentrated in the eastern city. If you attack the northern city, you will be able to attack the northern city." Fight and win."
"yes!"
After Ashina Teqin responded, he immediately dispatched troops to leave.
He was able to gain a foothold on the grassland because of the support of the Tang royal family. If it wasn't for the support of the Tang Dynasty, he would not have been able to truly gain a foothold. So in the face of Li Shimin's arrangement, even if Ashina Teqin was unwilling, he immediately started to act.
Following Ashina's dispatch of troops, he went straight to the east city.
After Li Shimin arranged Ashina's special service, he was still worried, but he ordered again: "Call Gao Can and Jin Yuzhen to see."
Gao Can is a general in Goguryeo.
Jin Yuzhen is a general in Silla.
Both of them led the army separately.
Gao Can and Jin Yuzhen each have 10,000 soldiers under their command, which is not a weak force.
After all, Goguryeo and Silla are not weak. Not long after, Gao Can and Jin Yuzhen arrived, and they bowed to Li Shimin. The original Goguryeo and Silla were actually not prepared to talk to Li Shimin, and they were unwilling to send troops to attack Du Qi.
For Goguryeo and Silla, the war between Li Shimin and Du Qi was like a dog bites a dog.
Both parties have little to do with Du Qike.
But there is no way, Datang¡¯s new weapon, gunpowder, is too powerful. It has only been tested in the two countries. Whether it is the king of Goguryeo or the king of Silla, they all admit that they are afraid. They dare not make enemies with Datang. .
So I chose to send troops.
Li Shimin ordered: "Gao Can, you are in charge of leading the troops to attack the southern city of Rouyuan County. Go all out and attack from the southern city."
"Obey!"
Gao Shen responded immediately.
So he took the first step to say goodbye and leave.
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Jin Yuzhen again, and said: "Jin Yuzhen, you lead 10,000 people under your command to directly attack Beicheng in Rouyuan County."
"yes!"
Jin Yuzhen also agreed.
Jin Yuzhen was in his early thirties and was in his prime. His idea is actually very simple, that is to stabilize Li Shimin first, and feint to attack Beicheng. The direction of the main attack depends on Li Shimin himself, he will not consume his own strength.
Following Jin Yuzhen's departure, Li Shimin once again looked at the east gate tower in Rouyuan County, and ordered a fierce attack again.
The soldiers under his command rushed forward wave after wave.
It's just that the soldiers who rushed forward were still unable to climb the tower, because the firepower on the tower was too strong. Countless grenades poured down, and mortars bombarded the rear. Under such a violent bombardment, even Li Shimin's troops stormed, but still did not make much progress.
On the tower, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan looked calm.
For the two of them, if they were going out of the city to fight, even if they had mortars, it would not be easy to defeat Li Shimin because of their strength. But when it comes to defense, they have gunpowder, grenades, and mortars, and it is easy to defend Rouyuan County.
When Xiao Yuanqi got the news that the four sides of the city were being attacked, he didn't panic at all, but immediately arranged and dispatched soldiers to guard the city gates on all sides.
The two sides started fighting.
It's just the fighting at the gates of the four sides. Whether it was the Turks, Silla, or Goguryeo, they never really attacked. They mainly feigned an attack. The real attack was still on Li Shimin's side.
Even if Li Shimin got the news, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he ordered to reprimand Ashina Teqin and others, these people must still do their own way, and it is impossible to follow his orders.
Li Shimin had no choice but to order another attack.
The offensive became more and more ferocious.
It's just that even if Li Shimin's soldiers attacked like a wave, they were easily repelled and could not form a large-scale offensive. This kind of offensive continued from morning to evening, and countless corpses piled up outside the city.
The smell of blood permeates.
Corpses piled up into mountains.
The soldiers of the Tang army who were attacked by countless people showed fear on their faces.
Because this fight is beyond everyone's understanding. In the past, when the two sides fought with swords, guns, swords and halberds, it was still good at that time, and they could attack with the help of siege vehicles and ladders, but at this time, the siege vehicles and ladders could not work at all, and they were completely ineffective.
?Because the siege vehicles, ladders, etc. approached, the grenadesp;Changsun Wuji said: "It's the same for everyone to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. Your Majesty, this is also a normal thing. Because these people can't really be like our soldiers."
Li Shimin sighed.
He deliberately wanted to call all these people, and then reprimanded them one by one in person. It's just that although the countries obeyed his arrangements, and arranged for generals to lead troops, they obeyed his dispatches. But in fact, they each do their own thing, and each has his own ideas.
It is impossible for him to control these people.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
Leaving Li Shimin alone in the tent.
After Li Shimin sat upright for a while, he was not an indecisive and sentimental person after all. He quickly calmed down his inner emotions, stood up and went to the area where the wounded soldiers were.
This is going to condolences to the wounded soldiers.
This is Li Shimin's habit.
The more the soldiers were injured, the more vulnerable they became, so he went to comfort him at this time, the situation is naturally different.
After Li Shimin walked around, all the wounded soldiers were in high spirits, all of them were very excited.
Everyone is even more grateful to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin returned to his tent, it was getting late, so he stopped thinking about other things and went to rest earlier.
The next day, it was clear.
Early in the morning, the sky was bright.
Li Shimin once again led the army under his command and began to storm Rouyuan County again. The intensity of the attack this time was even stronger than yesterday, especially Li Shimin specially arranged people to be beside Ashina Teqin, Jin Yuzhen and others to supervise the attack.
In order to strengthen the strength of the attack.
In this day's attack, although Li Shimin's soldiers climbed the tower from time to time, without exception, they were all defeated and crushed, especially today's attack was stronger, and the soldiers of the Tang army died in battle. There are more than 18,000 people.
These are countless people who were killed by the bombing.
The state of death was extremely miserable.
At the end of a day of fighting, Li Shimin's heartache was even more painful, because after two days of attacking, his troops lost more than 30,000 people. On the contrary, the troops of Silla, Goguryeo, and Turks were almost nonexistent. Broken.
Because the main attacking party is Li Shimin's people.
As a result, the loss is very serious.
When Li Shimin finished his offensive for the day and the army began to rest, a large army appeared in a mountain depression on the southeast side of Rouyuan County.
This large army has more than 50,000 people.
Mainly people under Xue Rengui's command.
Du Qi took Xue Rengui up from the border of Magadha in the south to the north, traveling day and night all the way, and finally arrived at this mountain depression quietly, but Du Qi never revealed his whereabouts.
After Du Qi's army arrived, they settled down.
Everyone, the whole army is in formation.
However, this time there was no elephant army in the army, because the elephant army was too easy to spot, only infantry, artillery, and cavalry under Xue Rengui's command.
The army stopped to form.
However, the soldiers who went to inquire about the situation in Rouyuan County had already returned one step ahead.
After the soldier saluted Du Qi, he handed over the letter.
Du Qi opened the letter to check it, and after reading the battles that happened in the past two days, a smile appeared on his face. Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan, with the help of the city and artillery fire, forcibly nailed Li Shimin outside the city, preventing Li Shimin from advancing at all. Moreover, Li Shimin's troops suffered countless losses, while Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi's There is little loss of power, which is an excellent situation.
Du Qi waved his hand to send off the sentry, indeed he called Shangguanyi, Laiji and others to discuss the next strategy of using troops. When everyone gathered, Du Qi looked around and said, "We are approaching Rouyuan County now, and Li Shimin doesn't know our whereabouts. What do you think we should do now?"
Lai Ji took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I think our current arrangement is actually very simple. It is to send troops directly to cut off Li Shimin's retreat. We have three armies led by Xiao Yuanqi, Ma Yuan, and Xue Rengui, a total of 150,000 people .And our weapons are far superior to those of the Tang Dynasty. The two sides are fighting, enough to defeat each other."
After a pause, Lai Ji said: "Even if we don't take the initiative to attack, we can go around to Li Shimin's rear first, that is to cut off Li Shimin's retreat, prevent Li Shimin from retreating, and double-team Li Shimin."
Du Qi nodded, but did not comment.
Du Qi thinks that this strategy of sending troops is not the most suitable one.
Du Qi looked at Shangguanyi and the others. At this moment, Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, I think Lai Ji's suggestion is inappropriate. The reason is very simple. Once we are exposed, Li Shimin's hundreds of thousands of troops will attack us all the way." In particular, although we have mortars, the opponent has too many troops, and the opponent also has gunpowder. So the two sides are really fighting, which is not good for us. Therefore, my suggestion is that we find another way to fight Li Shimin."
Du Qi asked: "How to fight?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com)?? scheme.
