Section 642 Monthly Ticket for the Power of the Army]
Li Jing knew that Niu Jinda would fight tooth and nail, but this battle could only be given to Niu Jinda. Just because Niu Jinda stayed here in Liaocheng for a year, operated once, and trained the soldiers hard for a year, countless times in a whole year Looking at Anshi City from a distance, Li Jing had no choice but to choose another general to fight.
"Khan Tuli, lead your troops and sweep the south of Ping'an City!"
"King Khitan, lead your troops to sweep the north of Ping'an City!"
"Khan Mohe, lead his troops to sweep away all enemies between Ping'an City and Wunu Mountain City."
"The Yulin Army and the Xuanjia Army have five thousand elite cavalry. They will rest in Liaocheng for one day. In two days, they will send out troops to clear the north and south of Shenshui and reach Baishan Mountain!"
"The rest of the armies will follow my commander's command! I have to order all armies to send out troops in half an hour!"
Li Jing was ruthless and did not wait for another day, but gave up the troops after half an hour. Jian'an was only 500 miles away from Dandong, but these 500 miles were not a straight road, and it would take at least four days for the large army to advance.
After giving all the orders, Li Jing arranged for someone to send a telegram of the orders to Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing was surrendering to the two cities and one port of Dandong. After receiving the telegram, Li Yuanxing ordered: "Wu Bin, concentrate all the incendiary bombs on the two airships on the Zhenyuan. You go and blow up the city wall of Anshi City. Don't let the cattle enter." Fight hard."
"I will apologize!" Wu Bin did not carry out Li Yuanxing's order.
"What crime?"
"Your Highness, as a military general, you must fight to the death when you are ordered to do so. If a general encounters some difficulties and has to wait for His Highness's assistance, then he will no longer have the dignity to walk in front of the generals. General Niu fought against Goguryeo for four times, and what he encountered was Euljimun. Virtue, this battle will be tragic, but this battle must be fought because it is about the military might of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanxing played with the lighter and thought about Wu Bin's words.
Wu Bin continued: "Your Highness, the general also read the order. I am afraid that the general has already settled the funeral arrangements at this time. I, General of the Tang Dynasty, have a body of iron. Not to mention that there are eight gates in Jian'an City. The city's heavy artillery, ten thousand fire thunders, one hundred divine fire flying crows, and four thousand fire flying swallows."
Li Yuanxing still didn't answer, still thinking.
"Your Highness, this concerns the honor of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. I will be bold enough to ask Your Highness to take back the order."
"That's all, I'll listen to you this time. But Wu Bin, you have to know that if you can easily defeat the enemy, it is definitely better to fight to the death. I listened to you, not because of the glory you said, but because of the military considerations. Majesty. If flying boats are needed to attack a city, then without flying boats, the people of the world will not be afraid of our Tang Dynasty. What General Niu showed was the military power of our Datang Army, so I took back the order!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "General Yuchi will arrive at night. If the envoys want to watch the battle of Anshi tomorrow, you can take them to watch the battle."
"Got the order!"
There was no problem watching the battle, and Wu Bin couldn't say anything.
From the mouth of the Datong River to Dandong, it is all the inland sea of the Bohai Sea, and you will not get lost if you sail along the coastline. You only need to be careful of the rocks to ensure safety. 70% of the shells have been fired, 40% of the coal has been burned, and all the vacancies are available. Used to hold trophies, Yu Chigong returned home with a full load this time.
Yu Chigong was not worried about the surrender of Dandong City. The huge flying boat was in the sky. If anyone dared to be dissatisfied, two incendiary bombs would make them obedient.
It was already late at night when Yu Chigong arrived in Dandong. The sea route was less than 500 miles. For Li Yuanxing's flying boat, it took one hour. For Yu Chigong's ship, it would take eight hours. A 500-mile ship like Li Yuanxing's
The current speed calculation is about ten knots.
Arriving at Dandong Port late at night, there were already surrendered generals from the former Sui Dynasty waiting to pick up the ship.
"Where is His Majesty the King of Qin?" Yuchi Gong asked anxiously before he even got off the boat.
"Meeting the surrendered Goguryeo people in Dandong City, it seems that they are preparing to leave overnight to inspect the battle of Anshi City!" This surrendered general is also a person of some status and knows some military arrangements that are not confidential.
It has been a tiring day. His Highness the King of Qin is not tired. Aren't those envoys also tired?
None of the envoys could fall asleep. As soon as they closed their eyes, they would see the Battle of Pyongyang during the day, which would make them sweat. Let alone sleeping, even if they were alone for a while, they would feel scared.
"General, don't worry. Although we are Han Chinese in these two cities and one port, there are also many old Goguryeo tribes. After all, we people have been in Goguryeo for seven or eight years, so naturally we have some influence."
Yuchi Gong gave the other party a bottle of wine that he brought with him, and then asked: "When the Goguryeo people handed you over, didn't you think of resisting?"
"Why resist? Goguryeo people can't tolerate us. Resistance means death. No one here has a family for seven or eight years. If the Tang Dynasty wants us to die, there is no need to engage in these tricks. We just made some tricks when we left
, If the Tang Dynasty can accommodate us, these hands and feet are the knives that we homeless people stabbed the Goguryeo people. If the Tang Dynasty cannot tolerate us, at least we will die in the Central Plains and will not be buried in a foreign land!"
Yuchi Gong patted the other party's chest. Speaking of this, he really had nothing to say.
Li Yuanxing was not present.
If he were here, he would 100% believe this.
The homesickness complex of the Chinese people has lasted for five thousand years.
Li Yuanxing didn't sleep for long that night. At five o'clock in the morning, the two airships set sail again. However, Yuchigong's fleet could not move. They no longer had enough coal to return to Laizhou, and Dandong Port
There was no coal for them to use.
With Dandong guarded by the Red Blood Guards, Li Yuanxing felt at ease.
In the 849th year of the First Emperor's calendar, the second year of Zhenguan, it was early morning on the third day of April.
Niu Jinda has 50,000 soldiers, 30,000 auxiliary troops, and 20,000 Mohe fine cavalry. They have formed a formation in Anshi City. Niu Jinda has four of the eight heavy artillery pieces, 20 plus divine fire flying crows, and a thousand fire flying swallows.
, the commando team is equipped with two thousand fire thunders. This is the configuration given by Yaozhou, so the military department also gave three hundred bed crossbows and three thousand foot crossbows.
Huge flying boats hovered on both sides of Anshi City, and the flags hanging on the boats were sky blue.
Eulji Wende in Anshi City looked at the huge flying boat and had no idea what it was. Inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of his heart, but Niu Jinda knew clearly that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was looking at him on the flying boat.
Hanging a blue flag means that the flying boat will not go into battle, but will only watch from a distance.
Niu Jinda is a general, one level lower than Cheng Motou.
This was also the first time he led an army alone in the Tang Dynasty. He had deduced Anshi City hundreds of times in his mind. He had imagined countless ways to attack and what kind of defense Eulji Wende would use.
, now, this war is right before our eyes, all we need is to give the order.
Niu Jinda waved his left hand to signal the whole army to prepare for war, and then left for the city alone.
Li Yuanxing thought to himself, Damn it, are you still trying to establish a friendship? After a round of heavy artillery, he released a hundred flying crows to blow up half of his city wall first.
But who would have thought that Li Yuan slapped his thigh: "Well, you are worthy of being my general of the Tang Dynasty!"
That’s right!
Li Yuanxing reminded himself again that he was now in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had its customs, its rules, and its moral standards.
When the two armies are fighting, it is normal for the coach to have a drink in front of him. This is etiquette.
According to the ancient etiquette, you should be polite first and then fight.
"Father, it seems that my son is an ungrateful person and attacks enemies whenever he sees them. Does this break the rules?" Li Yuanxing asked tentatively.
Li Yuan shook his head: "No need, Wu Lang. When you send troops, you are declaring war. As the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, no one is qualified to talk to you face to face on the battlefield. Besides, it is usually the vanguard general who does this kind of thing. I heard that Wu Lang
Li Yaoshi would go to the front of the battlefield and say a few words to the enemy's coach first? Usually by the time the coach meets, one side has already lost."
Li Yuanxing nodded, seeming to understand, but not entirely.
"Someone, Niu Jinda of the Tang Dynasty. You are a shameless villain from Goguryeo. You broke your trust with the Tang Dynasty, humiliated the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and humiliated the Tang Dynasty. I remember that you Eulji Wende is also a heroic figure, and I am here to persuade you to surrender.
I don’t like to talk nonsense, and I won’t say things that have nothing to do with this battle. You can rest assured that this battle will only be fought on land by my generals. Xiao Xiao’an City does not need my own hands, His Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Is it surrender or battle?”
Is this an attempt to persuade someone to surrender?
At least the soldiers behind Niu Jinda who heard these words did not think it was an attempt to persuade him to surrender.
Li Yuanxing couldn't hear, and he didn't know what Niu Jinda said.
Eulji Mundeok walked to the city wall, took a bow, and shot an arrow in front of Niu Jinda. Watching the arrow coming, Niu Jinda didn't blink or hide. He just reached out and grabbed the arrow, turned around and shouted
Written: "Eulji Mundeok, don't die. I have something to say to you after I take Anshi."
After saying that, the cow approached and pulled the horse back.
The war drums sounded, and all the infantry took three steps forward in order, shouting at the same time, "Kill!"
The war had just begun, and Niu Jinda was doing everything he could to improve the morale of the soldiers. He waved the flag again, and 10,000 Mohe cavalry came out and began to circle slowly around Anshi City, shooting a few scattered arrows. This was not
Siege is not a demonstration, it is just to warm up the horses and get the cavalry into the rhythm of battle.
A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door.
In the eyes of those who know the truth, Tang Jun's actions clearly show how elite they are.
The infantry marches in three steps, moves in unison, and maintains the formation. This is not something that a commander can do. It requires the on-the-spot command of officers at each level and the ability to cooperate with each other. As for the cavalry, just looking at the riding formation is enough.
You know how elite this cavalry is.
Niu Jinda felt his heartbeat speed up.
This battle is not only a victory, but also a great victory. His Royal Highness the King of Qin is watching from the sky, and the envoys from all nations are also watching. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
