Wuliluo City is located in the west of Liao River (Liao River). It was an outpost city of Goguryeo established in the former Sui Dynasty. During the pre-Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo was much more powerful than it is now.

At that time, King Gaoyuan of Goguryeo controlled the Khitan, Mohe and other northeastern ethnic minorities, and constantly invaded and harassed the Sui Dynasty's borders. His forces had been infiltrating into the western Liaoning region, which was one of the reasons for the conquest of Goguryeo.

And Wu Liluo was the thorn in the frontier of the Sui Dynasty. Go to Goguryeo and remove Wu Liluo first.

"Report to the Generalissimo, the scouts have come to report that the surrounding areas of Wuliluo City have been fortified and cleared, and all livestock and food have been moved.

It seems to me that they want to hold out until reinforcements arrive, and a secret report says that there are [-] soldiers and horses in Wu Liluo. "Li Daozong said first.

But the tone was not so serious. With an army of 25, Li Daozong was confident that he could conquer Wu Liluo's city.

Li Chengqian looked at the map and said,

"Wuliluo is a semi-important city, and there should be many people there. They drove the people into the city. It seems they want the people to help defend the city."

"I feel the same way. Why don't I take some people to test it out while it's still early in the morning to see what's true?" Li Ji took the initiative to ask for help.

In fact, everyone here knows that it is not difficult to remove Wu Liluo. What is being discussed now is to reduce casualties as much as possible.

The rest of the people also began to express their opinions, but they basically just took a look. They had all their siege equipment with them.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I wonder if you have any clever ideas." Li Daozong suddenly saw Li Shen sitting in the back. At this time, Li Shen was wandering around and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah? Oh, I think it's time to eat now..." Li Shen asked seriously.

With a pop, Qibi Heli fell off the stool. He quickly stood up and apologized.

Li Daozong would like to give himself a slap in the face, so that you can ask him what he is doing.

Li Shen was indeed hungry. He hadn't gotten up yet when they were having dinner in the morning. It's already past noon, how can I not be hungry?

"Tenth brother, let's get down to business. Do you have any suggestions for attacking the city?" Li Chengqian said helplessly to Li Shen.

His younger brother is always unreliable.

"I don't understand military matters either. What suggestions can I have?" Li Shen looked at everyone present with contempt.

"It's okay to give me some advice." Li Chengqian refused to give up.

Li Shen thought for a while, Gu... Gu... Gu Li Shen's stomach also made a sound. Li Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all.

However, his stomach was empty and his mind was blank, so he said casually;

"If you don't send a few people who can speak Goguryeo to the four gates to shout for surrender, we have already surrounded Wu Liluo, and they will starve to death sooner or later.

As long as the people in the city come out, we will distribute food and accept them. "

"Disturbing the morale of the army? It has some effect, but not much." Li Daozong thought for a while and said.

"It's not to disturb the morale of the army, but to disturb the morale of the people. Tell it to the people in the city. There must be many people in the city guarding the city to help. When they go back and spread the word, it can still have a somewhat panic effect."

Li Shen took Li Daozong's words and said.

Li Daozong nodded. There was some truth to it. They were all going to be beaten anyway, and it would be a little bit if they could influence it.

"This can be arranged carefully. For example, the food in the city will be provided to the soldiers in advance, but not to the people.

In other words, they treat the people as two-legged sheep, ready to be slaughtered and eaten at any time. Anyway, those scholars know how to sow discord. "

Li Shen said casually, then turned to Shi Shi.

"Bring me a piece of meat, I'm going to starve to death."

Shitou hurried out to do it.

Everyone ignored Li Shen's actions, but carefully savored Li Shen's method. It was indeed feasible and did not take much effort.

"Come and call some translators." Li Chengqian ordered.

Soon several translators entered the commander's tent. Li Chengqian asked several people to remember what Li Shen told them, and then ordered people to eat for these people first, prepare meat, and shout powerfully when the time comes.

Then Li Chengqian began to discuss the battle plan with Li Daozong and the others, which sect would be the main attacker, which sect would be the auxiliary, which arms would be deployed first, which arms would be deployed later, and what engineering equipment would be used.

The documents on the side were quickly recorded. These were not only the battle plan, but also the contents of the memorial to Li Shimin in the future.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, only Li Shen in the back was holding a large piece of meat and gnawing desperately, and Lan Yu'er on the side was responsible for spreading salt.

At this time, several fast horses came from outside Wuliluo City and stood a hundred feet away from the city. After dismounting, two people came forward, one holding a shield and the other loudly speaking in Goguryeo;

"Listen, people in the city, we came from the Tang Dynasty in the east. Our Emperor heard that the people of Goguryeo were hungry, wars were raging in the country, and the people were in dire straits.

Our Emperor has kindly sent us to rescue you. We have brought food and we are willing to help all the people of Goguryeo tide over their difficulties.

The gates of your city are now closed, and the food will not last long. The people in the city may become food for the nobles.

Our Crown Prince hopes that the soldiers guarding the city can open the city gate so that we can rescue the people inside and distribute food. ......."

According to Li Shen's idea, the translator was processing it himself, spoke for 5 minutes, and then repeated,

All the gates on the three sides, except the one at the back, are in progress.

Sometimes the soldiers on the city wall would shoot a few arrows when they were angry, but they had no power at this point.

Easily blocked by the shield soldier next to him.

The translator kept shouting. When he got tired, he would take a break to drink water, and then continue shouting.

Many people near the city wall heard it, and they also knew that many people fled to Datang through Khitan.

The impression of Datang on them has always been that of benevolence, righteousness and politeness.

They never thought that this incident was caused by the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty finally sent food, although the price was a little more expensive,

But they were all snatched away by soldiers.

The seeds of mutation are slowly rising in the hearts of many people, and they are also eroding the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

An hour later, Datang's army finally moved. They attacked the city from the west, north and south at the same time, and the east was guarded by [-] cavalry.

Thirty thousand infantrymen and siege equipment were sent in each direction on three sides, and strong crossbows were provided in the distance to support them. These were composite three-bow crossbows developed by Li Shen, which were powerful and had a long range.

And the trebuchet. Ladders, door crashers, etc.

Each of the three city gates was commanded by two generals. Li Ji led Qiu Xiaozhong, Zhang Liang led Qibi Heli, Ashina Sheer and Li Simo.

And Li Daozong followed Li Chengqian as the deputy commander,

Li Shen followed Li Chengqian and sat on the high platform looking into the distance with a telescope.

"Woo~~~~~~"

"Boom...boom...boom."

The horns representing the charge sounded, and the drums sounded like thunder to boost morale. The soldiers of Tang Dynasty rushed forward bravely.

This may be a war that will be recorded in history, and the first shot was fired to conquer Goguryeo.
