Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

On the street, soldiers in armor still stayed where they saw them yesterday. At most, some soldiers were able to lean against the wall to find some shelter from the rain.

But it is impossible for these places to cover everyone, and even the heavy rain yesterday can hardly cover anything.

But these soldiers just passed the night in the rain in the second half of the night, without any noise, noise, complaints, or harassment.

They were like silent machines, just staying in place, waiting quietly for the dawn.

At this moment, the sky is already bright, but these soldiers are still resting in place.

Until, the officer who also spent the night in the rain stood up and gave the order to move forward.

These soldiers quickly stood up from the spot, then quickly combined at an unimaginable speed, arranged into a neat team, and then quickly began to walk outside the Jincheng amidst the sound of slogans.

All the people of Silla felt an indescribable shock and inexplicable emotion. They didn't know how this emotion came from. These soldiers were not soldiers of Silla, but it was precisely because of this that they were even more shocked.

This is not Datang, if they are the people of Datang, it is fine for these soldiers to treat them like this, but they are not the people of Datang.

But they are still consistent in words and deeds, as if the whole person is a body of steel.

……

In the Silla Palace, Kinderman, who knew the news, was also shocked, "You mean... the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were drenched in the rain all night, and they didn't bother to move half a step to take shelter from the rain or enter the next door. In a resident's house?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, including General Li Daozong, also got caught in the rain. Because it was an urgent march, they planned to advance six hundred miles in ten days, sixty miles a day, so they only carried dry food and weapons. The soldiers at the pier organized our civilians to be transported to the destination, and it is estimated that they will arrive two days later.”

General Jin, who reported the report, looked somewhat envious. Such an elite army, which is almost ordered and prohibited, without any complaints, is the soldier that any general dreams of.

And these soldiers appeared on Datang's body.

Fortunately, it was Datang's body.

"This... is unbelievable." Kinderman said dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine such an army.

"Fortunately, such an army belongs to Datang." General Jin said.

"Indeed, their will is amazing, and Datang's strict military discipline is also impressive. There is no need to find a way to let them use us on the road. This kind of routine doesn't work. Since coming here, Datang has obviously thought about it. very clear."

"They came under the banner of stabilizing the situation. They won't use anything from us, but you can discuss it with General Li Daozong. If the situation permits, you can let the soldiers of Datang have a warm meal."

"We can lend them food from the counties along the way. General Li said that it is temporarily lent to them. When the follow-up Datang's logistics arrives, we can return it to us." Kinderman pondered for a while and then said.

She also saw a lot of things, since Datang didn't want to owe them favors, because Datang wanted to be a fair and just suzerain country, in this case, it should be no problem to borrow food temporarily, right?

It is not provided for free, but needs to be paid back by them.

"Yes!"

Li Daozong led [-] soldiers to leave Jincheng. After leaving Jincheng, after the rain stopped, he found a place with few people around him. Li Daozong ordered him to rest in place, light a fire, and dry his clothes first.

The armor may make people feel stuffy during the day, but when it rains, it basically does not have any effect of keeping warm.

Therefore, if the clothes of these soldiers are not dried in time in one night, they will easily get sick if they continue to carry them all night, and they may get sick.

Fortunately, it is summer, and the climate is hot now, even if it rains, there is no place to go cold. Even if it is spring and autumn, in the situation yesterday, we have to find a way to avoid the rain.

The fire quickly ignited, and some Chinese medicine packs they carried quickly began to boil, and then let the soldiers drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold, and set off again after their clothes were dried.

Li Daozong didn't know how much the actions of last night had shocked the people of Silla in Jincheng, but what he knew was that the reputation of the Tang army would soon spread in Silla.

After all, the country itself is not big, not as large as the Shaanxi prefecture around Chang'an.

The population is also not comparable to that of the Guanzhong Plain, so the news was transmitted very quickly, and Li Daozong knew this well.

For the follow-up journey, Li Daozong and the others resolutely implemented the established strategy, which is not really a special strategy. Anyway, it is enough to treat this place as the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, it is not now, and it is estimated that it may be possible soon in the future, so it was previewed in advance at that time.

Nine days later, Li Daozong and the others arrived at the target city, which was the salient part of the joint defense line of Silla and Baekje facing Goguryeo.

If the city cannot be taken, it is impossible for Goguryeo's army to go deep into Silla anyway.

But at present, this city is not the front line. In front of it, there is another county town, which is to be abandoned according to the established plan.

But because Goguryeo has not attacked yet, for the time being, it is definitely impossible for the city to give up on its own initiative, but it is just ready to give up.

After arriving in this city, Li Daozong quickly took over the highest defense of the entire city, and the [-] Silla defenders in the city quickly returned to Li Daozong's command.

After Li Daozong came here, Cheng Yaojin in Baekje also rushed to the only city in Baekje at about the same time.

After all, their strategies are similar, and the area of ​​the peninsula is not large. If it is a large-scale rainy weather, they must be similar.

In fact, these cities had already been selected long before Li Daozong and the others came to Silla and Baekje, and the locations of these cities were also carefully selected.

Their defense line is about 200 kilometers long, but the east is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain inside is extremely difficult. Many important terrains are rugged and difficult to pass alone.

Therefore, the frontal defense line Li Daozong and the others need to defend is only about 100 kilometers wide.

Because of the mountainous terrain in the east, even if Goguryeo's army bypassed it, without enough supplies, it is almost impossible for them to advance on a large scale.

It is also even more impossible to carry a large amount of luggage. If it is simply soldiers coming, the threat is too small.

This is a war in the era of cold weapons. Soldiers are very important, and so are the supplies.

Therefore, in the mountains and other terrains in the east, as long as three or four important cities are handed over to Silla's own thousands of defenders, the rest can be almost ignored.

As for the flat terrain in the west, Li Daozong and the others decided to control three cities, arranged in an approximate shape, and the distance between them is about 30 to 40 miles.
