The Tang Dynasty definitely wanted to destroy Goguryeo in Liaodong.
The so-called approach was just to prepare for war in the later period of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, how could the people in his Goguryeo court not know about this matter?
But the current situation is like this. If you don't resist and fight against the rebels, you will be dead.
And the current trend is that without follow-up reinforcements, the rebels are very likely to reach their capital.
When the time comes, all that awaits them is death.
If they resist desperately, with the sufficient motivation provided by Datang, they can put down the rebels.
But if such a situation occurs, the losses suffered by Goguryeo as a whole will be even more serious.
Even they knew that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to conquer Goguryeo after the southwest border pass was completed.
But everyone today is like a man in the desert, dying of thirst.
There is a pot of water in front of you. The water is highly poisonous. If you drink it, you will die. If you don't drink it, you will die even faster.
All things considered, I had to drink poison to quench my thirst. Maybe I could find a way out and save myself before dying from the poison.
When I think of these things, I also think that this is actually the sadness of a small country.
If the entire territory of Goguryeo and the entire Turks could fight against the Tang Dynasty, how difficult would it be?
After finishing the work here, work has started at the Zhaojiazhuang Blacksmith Shop.
The mineral resources that Datang had transferred from the Qiang tribe were all transported to the court step by step, and arrangements were made for the weapons supervisor to build them.
After arranging the ore on his side, Li Er sent Sun Wuji with a group of people to change into civilian clothes and drive several carriages towards Zhaojiazhuang.
The blacksmith shop in Zhaojiazhuang specializes in making ironware and selling it to make money.
As for the weapons supervisor in his court, his main focus is on weapons from all over the world.
Before all the weapons were updated, Li Er said that he was not particularly anxious about making money from iron weapons.
After finishing all the matters here, Li Er sat aside and started busy again!
Time flies, but people here in Chang'an City still don't feel anything.
But for the southwest of the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers stationed there, the western border of the Tang Dynasty was shrouded in gloom.
As time went by, the number of scout troops dispatched by soldiers from both sides began to increase.
Although the armies of both sides have not yet entered into battle, scouts from both sides have launched several attacks.
Everyone is already not surprised by this matter.
Although both sides could be considered to have conducted large-scale tests, they were relatively restrained and did not launch large-scale battles.
However, for the Tang people, this could be regarded as a further test, and the next step would mean that the Tubo people would launch a full-scale war against the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo military camp.
"Report to the general, report to the general, our reinforcements have arrived."
Hearing that their reinforcements were arriving, the Tubo general quickly stood up on his chair, hurried out of the camp, and saw a group of reinforcements outside!
"Hahaha, generals, you are finally here.
I was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally you are here.
You have come to reinforce today, but you have already prepared all the subsequent siege weapons?"
The soldiers who dared to come nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we rushed here quickly on Zanpu's order just to reinforce you.
Don't worry, all siege equipment has been prepared.
Didn't you see that we used it personally when we came here?
That siege engine is even better than the ones we used before."
The land of Tubo was mostly populated by tribes, and when Songtsan Gampo raised his troops to fight, some of them built cities.
Those tribes were relatively close to the Tang Dynasty, so they also followed the example of the Tang Dynasty in building cities.
Therefore, during the siege of a city with a city like this, it also encountered great obstacles during the battle.
So this is why they also developed siege equipment in the land of Tubo.
Using siege equipment, the enemy's city seemed so insignificant under their offensive.
So after unifying the entire Tubo, everyone also understood that the previous nomadic way was still relatively backward.
Especially since the entire Tubo land has been unified, if after building such a large territory and not even having a capital city, it would be a joke to everyone.
So this is why they built the capital city, so that everyone in the Tibetan land can know where the capital city is.
And this kind of operation really gave them and the Tibetan people a deep recognition.
In other words, this is the reason why mobilization for war started and large-scale mobilization was possible.
It regained the hearts and minds of the entire Tubo, and at the same time made the entire Tubo land into a whole, preparing for mobilization for the next war.
Coming to the side, the craftsman who came over stood aside and began to assemble the siege equipment.
Seeing this new siege equipment, all the soldiers who came to fight nodded their heads.
It looks like this is much better than the previous siege equipment.
"That's natural, everyone. These siege equipment were obtained by the Prime Minister from the Tang Dynasty."
Although the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were at war, they had to admit that the siege equipment on the Tang side was indeed much stronger than the siege equipment on the Tubo side.
Yes, in fact, even if you don’t need to say this, everyone can see it clearly.
The city of Tang Dynasty in front of us gives the impression that it is tall and large.
To put it bluntly, the size of their city and its appearance are larger than the size of their capital city.
Compared with other border cities, the capital city of this country is like the sky and the earth.
They and their group were not only envious of this person's ability, but also wanted to plunder him.
If their city was captured, there would be an incredible amount of money and food in the city.
If after conquering the city this time, can we continue to attack the depths of the Tang Dynasty, and possibly destroy the Tang Dynasty?
Although this idea makes them feel a bit unrealistic.
But if this person has no goals, no ideals, no pursuits, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
Just as they were talking, the siege equipment had been set up!
"General, the siege equipment has been set up!"
"Hahahaha, let's show it off to all the soldiers!"
"It's the general!"
There is no need to show the ladder here, it is just a simple ladder for climbing.
On the other hand, the built catapult feels more atmospheric than the previous catapult.
He asked people to fetch stones, placed them and aimed them far away, and projected the stone over a distance of nearly 100 meters. The height of the projection gave people the feeling that it was more than enough to destroy the city of Datang this time.
"Hahaha, hahaha, the Prime Minister is worthy of being the Prime Minister, being able to arrange such siege equipment.
With these weapons, if we can't defeat the Tang Army's city in one go, we will really be ashamed of the Prime Minister for arranging so many good things for us, hahahaha!"
The soldiers laughed heartily, walked into the military camp, sat down and began to discuss.
Now that the follow-up reinforcements have arrived, everything is ready for Tibet, and they are just about to start a war!
"How is the situation ahead? Are there any new changes in this group of Tang people?"
"Everyone, please take a look, this is the intelligence that our army's scout team has received during the past few days."
Talking over and over again, I arranged all the things that happened recently.
Seeing the various information recently investigated, everyone gathered together again and began to discuss.
After some research and discussion, the time was set for 10 days later.
When all their siege equipment is ready, it will be the day to launch an attack on Datang's border city!
