    The soldiers of the Xi tribe and the Mohe tribe quickly retreated, and as a result, the 10,000 people who participated in the siege had suffered four to five thousand casualties.  As for the 30,000-strong coalition of the Xi and Mohe tribes, they had already lost one-sixth of their troops before they really started attacking.  This caused the entire coalition forces of the Xi tribe and the Mohe tribe to mourn, and from time to time there were screams of the wounded.  However, Datang was kind this time and took the initiative to give them some of the medicinal materials brought from behind, which made them feel much better.  However, today's battle situation also made the Tang army feel cold sweat on their foreheads. After all, the result was so surprising.  If we follow the attack methods of the Xi and Mohe tribes today, then even 100,000 people may not be able to conquer this Liaodong city.  As for the Tang Dynasty, they probably don¡¯t have many people to consume in the Tang Dynasty.  Because there were only 100,000 people in the Tang Dynasty, if these 100,000 people were used to attack Liaodong City, it might not be enough for the enemy.  After all, everything today surprised them, from the rolling stones and trees like hail to the golden juice like rain, all of which made them feel extremely shocked.  The Goguryeo people threw these things away as if they were free of charge, and it was not heartbreaking at all.  And this is enough to show that their reserves of rolling stone wood are very sufficient, which is obviously enough to fight a war of attrition with the Tang Dynasty.  The siege party is often at a disadvantage, so the losses of the siege party are often relatively large.  Judging from today's situation, the Xi and Mohe coalition forces suffered four to five thousand casualties, but the Goguryeo people seemed to have suffered no losses at all.  Goguryeo's losses would never exceed a hundred people. This huge contrast shocked them all.  If Datang were to be the main attacker, how much better could Datang be?  I'm afraid it will definitely not be much better, or even worse, because the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as those of the Xi and Mohe tribes who rely on their bodies to give birth in the cold Northeast.  In the military camp, no one said a word. It was obvious that today's situation shocked everyone.  "Your Majesty, I want to apologize to you. Everything is my responsibility. I underestimated the Goguryeo people. If I hadn't promised the emperor, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have just sent 100,000 people to conquer Goguryeo, so" Jing Wen said  .  Jingwen quickly apologized. After all, it seemed that everyone had underestimated Goguryeo this time.  And if Jing Wen and Li Shimin hadn't guaranteed that 100,000 people would be able to conquer Goguryeo this time, then Li Shimin might have shot more soldiers.  But now it seems that even if 100,000 people are consumed in this Liaodong City, they will not be able to conquer this Liaodong City.  "Jing Wen, I don't blame you for this, I am also responsible. I also underestimated the Goguryeo people! Not only you, but all of us in the Tang Dynasty underestimated Goguryeo. We all thought that Goguryeo could withstand the three attacks of the Sui Dynasty. All of them were  It depends on luck. But now it seems that luck is inevitable!" Li Shimin also said with a sigh.  Jing Wen also made some complaints. Judging from historical records, Goguryeo was able to withstand three attacks from the Sui Dynasty. It was actually full of luck.  Because the first Sui Dynasty attack was due to seizing the Sui Dynasty's logistics supplies and taking the opportunity to eliminate a large number of enemy troops, the Sui Dynasty suffered heavy losses.  And the second time.  If we look at historical records, it was because Yang Xuangan, an official of the Sui Dynasty, rebelled and was forced to let Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty return to the court.  As for the third time, it was the Goguryeo people who took the initiative to surrender.  Therefore, the Sui Dynasty achieved the result of teaching the Goguryeo people a lesson, and then returned to the court.  "All this seems to be so accidental, but Jingwen, a later generation, also temporarily ignored that accidental events are actually inevitable to some extent.  If Goguryeo itself is a soft people.  Then I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on at all.  They were able to hold up the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army to besiege Liaodong, which can be said to be quite powerful.  If they could not hold on, there would be no subsequent victory in annihilating the 300,000 Sui Dynasty troops.  This may be inevitable by chance.  Because Goguryeo's strength was not as weak as imagined, this allowed them to seize the opportunity.  There is also a saying in later generations that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Goguryeo was obviously "prepared" so that he could seize the opportunity.  At this time, Duan Zhixuan, the minister of the Ministry of Service, took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Goguryeo people's Liaodong City is more powerful than in the Sui Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, the Goguryeo people's Liaodong City was not that powerful, but from now on  It seems that they took advantage of the troubled times in our Central Plains to build the city wall, and then allowed them to have this strong city. They seem to be very afraid that our Central Plains will attack them again, so they have such tight defenses in Liaodong City, and various  There are endless means. Liaodong City is our first battle in the Central Plains to attack Goguryeo. They just want to keep the enemy outside the country. " Everyone felt better after hearing this, because Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to strengthen it.  The city wall of Liaodong City was destroyed, and then this result was achieved.  This actually means that the Goguryeo people are already very afraid of the attack from the Central Plains.Only then did they work hard to strengthen the city wall of Liaodong City.  If this were not the case, Datang would not be so difficult.  And then Jing Wen remembered a sentence from the original history, that is, in the original history of the 18th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty gathered the power of the whole country to conquer this Liaodong city.  In the record, there are only the words "to mobilize the power of the whole country", but behind these words often represent blood and tears.  The "power of the whole country" in the 18th year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty was such a huge force, but it was possible to conquer Liaodong City with such a huge force, which is enough to show the strength of Liaodong City.  And once it reaches the level of "mobilizing the power of the whole country", then Datang's losses will probably be immeasurable.  There is no historical record of how Datang later conquered Liaodong City, but the losses were definitely not small.  Historically, it was Li Ji who commanded, but this time Li Ji is now the chief of general affairs of the Tang Dynasty, so he is not here, so he cannot be asked to make suggestions.  So everything is up to you, and Jing Wen doesn¡¯t think Li Ji can do anything good. Apart from relying on people to fill the gap, there is no way for ancient generals to do this.  And everyone was helpless at first, so he had no good solution at all.  "Your Majesty, if every city in Goguryeo is so powerful, then we probably don't need to fight at all." Gao Kan, Li Shimin's attendant, complained.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
