Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 385 Battle of Liao River

When Li Shen saw the signal flare on the other side, his lungs almost exploded.

Li Shen gave Qibi Heli two flares for an unexpected incident, just in case one of them failed to work or was lost, and he had a spare one.

But when he saw that both of them on the opposite side were ringing, Li Shen cursed Qibi Heli in his heart for being a fool. One ring was all it took, so why bother wasting one?

I have to deduct wages when I go back.

Li Chengqian had actually been prepared for a long time. He had been waiting for the signal from the other side. When he saw the signal flare in the sky, Li Chengqian waved his hand.

"Crossing the river~~"

"Woo~~Woo~~~"

When the attack horn sounded, the soldiers began to build pontoon bridges, and some soldiers who were good at water jumped into the river.

Nearly 3 troops led by Qibi Heli had taken the shore fortifications by surprise. So there is no disturbance in building the pontoon here.

The three pontoon bridges were quickly built, and the soldiers ran hard to the other side of the river to join the battle group.

They have received the news that the person with the strip on his head is one of their own, so they will not be accidentally injured.

Tang troops continued to pour from Hexi to Hedong. The results of the war on the east coast are getting bigger and bigger. General Gao was also shot to death by Jin En during the battle. This was his certificate of surrender.

The Goguryeo soldiers were retreating steadily, and without the command of the general, they could only be in disarray.

After the archers of the Tang Dynasty crossed the river, Goguryeo finally began to be defeated. Long-range strikes were always the top priority no matter when.

The Goguryeo soldiers fled in all directions, while the Tang army pursued them closely, capturing prisoners everywhere.

It's a pity that the cavalry of the Tang Army were behind and did not pass, otherwise it would be easier to pursue.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's first battle of Liao River ended in failure, but he didn't expect that the Tang army would cross it so quickly.

Li Shimin can brag about this for the rest of his life.

But even Li Shen, who knew nothing, understood that there were hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops guarding Liao River back then, and that was also when Goguryeo's soldiers and horses were strong.

There are only 5 people now, and many of them are young men who were captured. There is no comparison at all.

But it is unclear how Li Shen will be written down in the history books.

Li Shen followed Li Chengqian and also crossed the Liao River. Standing on the east bank of the Liao River, Li Chengqian was so high-spirited that he did not expect that in just a few days he would be able to do what his predecessors could not do.

It would be much easier to cross the Liao River. Li Chengqian ordered to set up camp, re-stabilize the pontoon bridge, and let the cavalry come over.

At night, in Li Chengqian's commander's tent, Qibi Heli was reporting the results of the battle.

"Marshal Qi, we killed more than [-] enemy troops, captured more than [-] enemy troops, and more than [-] people escaped.

This time General Jin did a great job, killing the defending general with one arrow. "

Qibi Heli is also a surrendered general, so he knows how to treat a surrendered general, and sometimes credit must be given. Especially this kind of merit that is as good as a certificate of investment.

"Okay~~ I will write it in the battle report, and then I will reward you based on your merits." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Qibi Heli continued.

"Our army lost more than [-] killed and wounded more than [-]."

Li Chengqian was a little sad after hearing this. The author forgot to write down the total number of casualties in the first siege: 1000 people, but more than 5000 in the second siege. More than [-] people were lost in just two battles, not counting. hurt.

"Marshal, there are no undead people on the battlefield. Because of the marshal's strategy in the siege, we lost half of our men. This is already a very good result.

Moreover, this kind of war will cause more casualties, and small-scale battles will not cause so many casualties. "Li Daozong explained from the side and glanced at Li Shen who was chewing meat.

Taking credit for Li Chengqian in front of so many people also tells everyone what they should say when they return. In fact, they also want to write a battle report.

I was originally worried that Li Shen had emotions and opinions, but when he saw Li Shen violently attacking a piece of meat like a fool,

Li Daozong felt that he was also a fool. How could such a prince compete for the throne?

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed. Although he knew it was to gain his reputation, he still felt a little embarrassed, so he said;

"Uncle, this is mainly due to the tenth brother. I just gave the order."

Li Shen raised his head from his body, his face was greasy, and said to Li Chengqian with a smile;

"Brother, this is your order. What does it have to do with me? Don't include me when you write the battle report. I need to rest."

After saying that, he continued to attack the meat in his hand.

Li Chengqian looked at this younger brother, and his heart was indeed warm.

Ever since he became the prince, he has not felt any sense of family affection. All his brothers want to compete with him, let alone other people.

Only Li Shen has true feelings for him, treating him as a big brother and asking for nothing in return. In Li Shen's words, you can't afford to repay him now.

It was not until late at night that all the cavalry crossed the Liao River. Li Chengqian and others also discussed until midnight what to do next.

There were three cities in front of them, Nansu City in the south, Hengshan City in the east, and Xincheng.

"Generals, please send an order to the army to rest for three days and send out scouts to inquire about the intelligence of the three cities and the situation of the defenders.

The trick of pretending to surrender has failed. The more than 1 people who fled back will definitely inform the defenders of the situation here. "

Li Chengqian issued the order.

"Marshal, according to the plan, you should stay in Wuliluo and command instead of crossing the Liao River." Li Daozong said suddenly,

The land boundary in front of Liao River is huge and there are too many variables. If Li Chengqian had any shortcomings, none of them would survive.

"Uncle Emperor, back then I, Aye, was also on the battlefield. How could I, as the crown prince, hide behind me all the time? Isn't it ridiculous?

Don't worry, uncle Huang, I won't go to the front of the battle, I just want to be closer to the battlefield. This also facilitates commanding. "Li Chengqian said grandly.

Li Shen actually seemed to be a little distracted, and he was a little complacent about winning two games.

"Brother, I think it's more important for you to write a memorial to collect grain from the country. As for the seeds, I will write a letter back to Wang Hongfu and ask him to transport it.

Moreover, it seems that Xu Xutu is still subtle. Our number is too small and it is impossible to leave soldiers to guard every place. This requires us to develop the local people for our use.

Brother, this is a people’s war. First of all, we must feed them. "

Li Shen told the story. They only had more than 20 troops in total, and there were 5 troops left in Wuliluo, and there were still 20 more.

You can't put people in every city to guard it. Wouldn't the combat effectiveness be reduced?

Therefore, the focus is to develop the people of Goguryeo, let them recognize the Tang army, recognize the Tang Dynasty, and let them help protect the city.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, this was Li Shen's strength. So he smiled maliciously at Li Shen.

"Then I ordered that the military commander-in-chief be responsible for this matter."
