Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin
Chapter 392 Capture of Hengshan
The war horn sounded, and all the Tang troops rushed towards Hengshan City, shooting countless arrows at the city wall.
On the city wall, because their general was burned to death by the flames, yes, their general was not killed by a sharp knife, but by the kerosene bomb that was thrown away from the hot air balloon.
Sharp Blade just witnessed the truth of the incident and then sent out the signal.
The archery tower was still burning, and the lieutenants and generals at all levels began to organize defensive resistance. The archers began to shoot arrows at the charging Tang army.
The Tang army did not disperse the attack, but focused their fire on the unburned side next to the archery tower.
All kinds of siege equipment were put into battle. Because the city wall and arrow tower on the other side were still burning, the city wall was separated from the middle. If you wanted to support them, you could only go down to the bottom of the city wall and go up the other side of the city wall again.
Because Goguryeo did not have a supreme commander, the command system fell into chaos and there was no unified dispatch.
This resulted in loopholes in defense, giving Datang an opportunity to take advantage of.
In less than two quarters of an hour, people from the Tang Army began to attack the city wall, and they were still coming up in a steady stream.
What does it mean to be overwhelming and what does it mean to be defeated like a mountain? When the Tang army began to occupy the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers retreated steadily.
Although the Goguryeo soldiers on the other side came to support in time, the city wall was so large that it was blocked below.
The Tang army did not hit the city gate, but directly fought down from the city wall bit by bit. The archers shot downwards desperately.
This is the crushing of strength, the victory is guaranteed, and you can play however you want.
At this time, the cavalry also rushed back. Li Chengqian ordered the cavalry to divide the troops into three groups to prevent the enemy troops from escaping from the other three directions.
On the front battlefield, the Tang army had already reached the city gate, cleared the roadblocks, and opened the city gate from the inside.
The remaining soldiers swarmed in from the city gate and started fighting in the streets with Goguryeo.
With a cry of surrender without killing, countless Goguryeo soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
The battle situation quickly stabilized. The army entered the city and occupied important units. All prisoners were taken out of the city and imprisoned to avoid accidents.
In the Chinese army commander's tent, Li Chengqian, Li Daozong, Li Jiqi, He Li and others were waiting for news from the new city.
Xincheng was led by Zhang Liang and Qiu Xiaozhong, and Li Shen also sent a hot air balloon.
"Report~~~~~"
A messenger ran in.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, General Zhang has sent news that the new city has been captured, and a battle report will be sent later. General Zhang requests the Grand Marshal for the next order."
"Okay~~" Li Chengqian clapped his hands happily. I really didn’t expect that I could win three cities so easily. He originally thought that attacking Goguryeo would be difficult.
The reason why the battle plan is to attack slowly and slowly is because everyone felt that Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo.
Even if the Tang army could succeed, the battle situation would be very difficult. Who would have thought that Goguryeo would be so vulnerable.
"Send the order, everything goes according to plan, distribute food, plan farmland, the food from the court should arrive soon.
Continue to use the soft policy to win the recognition of the people, recruit local soldiers, and provide food and wages. The Tang army must abide by military discipline and must not disturb the people. Those who disobey orders will be killed. "
Li Chengqian said to the messenger.
After the soldiers took the order, Li Ji sighed;
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to attack Goguryeo in my lifetime, and what's more, I didn't expect that it would be so easy."
"What Li Gong said is absolutely true, but this was all well planned by the imperial court. Goguryeo originally had strong soldiers and horses, but the Sui Dynasty could not advance with the help of the terrain.
But now, under the planning of the imperial court, Goguryeo is torn apart, and the people are hungry and hungry. King Bao Bao and Yeon Gaesumun only care about themselves and not the life and death of the people.
His Majesty once said that people are like water, and water can carry or capsize a boat.
I agree very much with what King Ji said about people's war. Civil strife among the people can bring down a country. "
Li Daozong was also very emotional.
They are now very impressed by some of Li Shen's views. They used to think that Li Shen was just a kid playing house.
But now it seems that what Li Shen sometimes says is quite reliable.
Moreover, it can be said that Li Shen was the chief contributor in these sieges.
Especially this high-altitude hot-air balloon attack is really an insurmountable method.
"Grand Governor, can the ball you are using today be used on a large scale?" Li Ji asked.
"It's okay, but the ball can't fly far or high for some reasons. It can stay in the sky for up to two quarters of an hour." Li Shen answered simply.
"The Grand Governor is really a great talent. His Majesty would be very happy if he knew about this divine artifact. With this artifact, we, the Tang Dynasty, will be in every possible way." Qibi Heli also praised.
"Of course, I brought this here just to test the effect of this thing on the battlefield. Now it seems to be really good." Li Shen said righteously.
"But if this method is known to outsiders, what should we do to deal with our Tang Dynasty? I saw today that the arrow feathers of this object cannot be hurt when it flies up. How should I deal with it?" Qibi Heli was very curious.
After hearing this, Li Shen glanced sideways at Qibi Heli, and then continued;
"This Grand Governor naturally has his own ideas, and although this hot air balloon seems simple, many of the things in it are carefully selected.
Especially the burning objects are all carefully selected high-quality wood from somewhere in the south. After eight special processes, they are mixed with special stones from Tianshan Mountain and refined for seventy-seven and 49 days. Only less than [-]% of the quality wood can be selected. .
And...forget it, I told you that you don’t understand. You only need to remember one word, Gui. "
Li Shenxin said so eloquently that everyone present was fascinated and stunned.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely sneer at Li Shen's nonsense, but who is Li Shen? The richest and most enjoyable prince in the Tang Dynasty.
They all heard that Li Shimin's tribute tea was picked from Annan and how many processes it went through before it was made.
The things in Li Shen's Prince Ji's Mansion were all good things from all over the world. Li Ji even heard Li Shimin say that the fishing lines Li Shen used for fishing were all made of Tian silk.
They would accept such a prodigal rich prince no matter how outrageous he did.
Even Li Chengqian, who knew Li Shen, somewhat believed him.
"Brother, the rest is as mentioned before, stabilize the people, organize them to open up wasteland and cultivate land, and send people to the surrounding areas to promote the reform here.
Attract more people to come over. The point is that Goguryeo soldiers must also be recruited, train with our people, and strengthen military discipline.
I guess Gao Baobao wouldn't dare to come and beat us.
When I go back this time, I will ask Wang Hongfu to prepare more grain crops, but I have agreed with the people that for the grain they grow, I will pay [-]% of the rent in the first year.
As for taxes, I guess Aye can exempt them for two years. "
"Third brother, you are using Aye to make money again."
