Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the tower of Liaodong City, Yuengai Suwen, who had been released by the Tang Dynasty, looked at the Tang Dynasty army camp in the distance and sneered.  But after Yeon Gaesumun heard what Datang was about to fall down and get up, he obviously didn't take it seriously at all.  And this time he will personally be responsible for the defense of Liaodong City, so of course he is very confident that he can defend against Datang's attack.  Back then, Eulji Mundeok was able to withstand the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army in Liaodong City, and Yeon Gaesumun himself thought that he should be able to do it.  This time the Tang Dynasty only had an army of 100,000, and he could definitely hold it.  Yeon Gaesomun looked down on Ulji Mundeok very much, thinking that he was just a fluke.  But now he thinks that he is not as bad as Ulji Munde, so he also wants to resist Datang's attack, so as to accumulate political capital for himself.  And when Ulji Mundeok was able to defeat the Sui Dynasty's attack and then became the prime minister of Goguryeo, he could do the same.  As long as the Tang Dynasty's attack can be defeated, Yeon Gaesumun will be the unquestionable successor to the Prime Minister of Goguryeo.  At that time, he can directly inherit the position of Prime Minister of Goguryeo, or even let him go one step further.  If he can establish his prestige through this war, he may be able to become the real actual leader of Goguryeo in the future, not just a prime minister.  When the time comes, he will be the regent, and even going one step further is not impossible.  And all this is to defeat Datang.  "General, Liaodong City is better now than it was many years ago. The city walls are higher, and various defensive facilities are better, so we can completely defeat the Tang Dynasty's attack!" said a Goguryeo soldier.  The current Liaodong City has learned from the experience of the Sui Dynasty and knows that it needs to quickly strengthen the city walls and build various defense facilities.  The current Liaodong City is even stronger and taller than when Emperor Sui Yang attacked, and it is simply not comparable to the past.  In the past, Liaodong City's defense facilities were relatively poor, but now it has become a fortified city.  If Datang wanted to break through it, it would be impossible without the strength of the whole country.  "Humph, unless the Tang Dynasty concentrates the power of the whole country to attack, it will be impossible to break through. And the Tang Dynasty currently only has more than 100,000 people, and it is impossible to break through Liaodong!" Yuan Gaisuwen said disdainfully.  In fact, Yuengai Suwen clearly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army. If the city was attacked according to the past methods, and if the Tang Army was still a purely cold-weapon army, it might indeed require the strength of the entire country to conquer it.  When the time comes, the Tang army will inevitably have to pay a lot of money to conquer it. After all, this is a fortified city.  The original history also shows that when Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo in the original history, Li Ji also concentrated the power of the whole country to conquer Liaodong, and the rest went very smoothly.  Therefore, Liaodong City is actually a city second only to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and its defense capabilities are very strong.  This is what gave Yuengai Suwen confidence, because the Tang Dynasty army only numbered more than 100,000 people.  Therefore, it is impossible for the Tang army to capture this Liaodong city.  But Yeon Gaesumun had no idea that Datang had been changed by Jingwen, and had gradually transformed from a purely cold-weapon unit into a unit with certain artillery.  Although artillery has not been widely popularized now, there are still more than 30 of them.  Coupled with the missiles in the Shenji Army, Liaodong City is not as impregnable as imagined.  Inside the Tang Army camp "Okay, my order!" Li Shimin said.  And everyone asked for a fight, obviously wanting to take the lead.  This is the time to take the lead and make the first contribution. Who doesn¡¯t want to make the first contribution so that he can show a big face in front of the emperor?  After all, everyone wants to get the first victory in this battle.  If Liaodong City can be captured.  That's really a great achievement. After all, Emperor Sui Yang's million-strong army couldn't conquer it back then. So if he could conquer it, wouldn't that show his ability?  So everyone wants to grab the first credit.  It will have great benefits for future promotion.  ¡°Commanders of the Xi and Mohe tribes, it¡¯s up to you to fight this first battle!¡± Li Shimin said.  After hearing this, the leader of the Xi tribe immediately asked: "Why should we fight too?" "Of course, don't you Xi tribe want to return to the land? Why don't you go out to fight?" Li Shimin asked.  But the leader of the Xi tribe was helpless.  He originally just wanted to let the Tang army attack, and then he could take advantage from behind.  This can prevent you from losing too much, and you can even just be responsible for some low-level things later.  But now he actually wants to attack the city.  This obviously made the leader of the Xi clan very speechless.  "Your Majesty, this" The leader of the Xi tribe hesitated to say something.  "Are you going? If you don't go, then when the land is conquered, you won't have any share in it!" Jing Wen yelled angrily.  And the leader of the Xi tribe immediately asked: "Shouldn't Datang get the land back for us?"  But Jing Wen said: "Didn't you send troops to help us? If you don't obey our command, then why should we help you get your land back?" The leader of the Xi tribe gritted his teeth, and then immediately knew that it seemed that this time it would not be possible.  The siege is no longer possible.  After all, everything now relies on the Tang Dynasty as a backer. If there is no Datang Dynasty as a backer, how can they take the initiative to deal with the Goguryeo people?  Goguryeo had a population of several million and an army of hundreds of thousands.  The population of the Xi people is not hundreds of thousands, and even if all the people are soldiers, it will only be 70,000 or 80,000.  Moreover, the population, resources and combat power were no match for the Goguryeo people, so neither the Xi tribe nor the Mohe tribe were a match for Goguryeo. They were driven further and further north by Goguryeo, losing their habitat step by step.  If it weren¡¯t for the Tang Dynasty, it would have been impossible for them to resist the Goguryeo alone.  Now, if the Tang Dynasty did not support them and lend them some courage, they would not dare to take the initiative to stand up against Goguryeo.  So if Datang did not support them, it would be impossible for them to get their land back.  And now the Tang Dynasty wants the Xi clan to take the lead. This is obviously to save its own troops.  It has to be said that the more powerful a force is, the more it saves its own troops.  This is the same as the richer you are, the stingier you are, so the Tang Dynasty obviously wants the Xi tribe and the Mohe tribe to be cannon fodder, but they have no way at all.  "Okay, our Xi tribe and Mohe tribe will first eliminate 5,000 people and go to lead the battle. But we also ask Datang to provide timely cover and support!" said the leader of the Xi tribe.  "Okay, we will definitely take care of you!" Li Shimin said.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
