Chapter 23: Intercepting and Killing Yuan Gai Su Wen's Reinforcements
After Yuan Gaisuwen returned to Liaodong, he mobilized troops and horses to prepare to resist the Tang army. At the same time, he did not forget to send people to Huaiyuan to question why the Tang army did not declare war.
Huaiyuan City.
When the envoys of Yuan Gaisu Wen met Xie Shufang, the governor of Raole, they were very respectful and carefully asked why the Tang army attacked Goguryeo. If there was any misunderstanding, they were willing to settle the differences with the Tang army and reconcile the two countries.
.
If you can't help it, then you won't fight. This is what Yeon Gae So-moon means.
"Misunderstanding?" Xie Shufang sneered at the envoy, "Silla is a vassal state of our dynasty. It has always been dominated by our dynasty. Now it is attacked by Baekje. Our dynasty has a good nature and wants to use the road to rescue some people.
Second, Ke Yuan Gaisuwen actually dared to refuse. You, Goguryeo, are still not our vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Do you have a disobedient heart?"
"No, absolutely not!" The envoy hurriedly defended, but he didn't know how to defend. Because it was impossible for them to agree to lend the road to the Tang Army, because that would be tantamount to leaving their lives at the discretion of the Tang Army.
"They must have disloyal intentions!" Zhang Gongjin angrily said: "Yuan Gaisu Wen is so bold. My late emperor's name has been spread all over the world, but he did not shy away from it and still used the word 'Yuan'. He always harbored disloyal intentions.
heart!"
The envoy was immediately speechless. Is this kind of trivial matter the reason for you to raise troops?
Without waiting for him to defend himself, Xie Shufang directly ordered the envoy to be kidnapped, then led his army across the Liao River and headed towards Liaodong.
At the same time, Li Junxian, the governor of Songmo, led an army of 20,000 troops to attack Tongding in half a day. Within three days, he successively captured the cities of Hengshan and Xuantu.
Far to the north, Xu Shiji, the governor of Juyan, also led an army of 20,000, and successively captured the two cities of Fuyu and Lushan in the northern part of Goguryeo, and then led his army southward, aiming directly at the two cities of Yanjin and Nansu.
The Tang Dynasty's 60,000-strong army launched attacks from three directions in just three or four days, catching Yuengai Suwen off guard.
When the news reached Liaodong, Yuan Gaisuwen was furious. This was definitely a premeditated war action by the Tang army. Now suing for peace was no longer an option and the only option was to stop the Tang army!
He decisively sent troops to reinforce Gaimou and Xincheng.
The current situation is that Yuan Gaisuwen must defend Liaodong, otherwise once Liaodong is captured by Xie Shufang, he will have no choice but to retreat again, and then the large area of land north of the Yalu River will be exposed to the iron hoof of the Tang army.
In the same way, if Gaimou New City is lost, the Tang army will be able to advance into the heart of Goguryeo along Guiduan, Mudi, and Cangyan.
However, what he didn't know was that the reinforcements sent to Gaimu and Xincheng had been informed by the Tang Army in advance. At this moment, the Tang Army's butcher knife was waiting for the reinforcements sent by Yuan Gaisuwen to fall into the dragnet.
"quick!"
"Follow me."
"Hurry up!"
General Yeon Jin under Yeon Gaesumun frantically urged the soldiers to rush to Gaimu. He knew that he had a heavy burden on him. If he could not save Gaimu and Xinsheng, it would mean that his flank would be lost. At that time, Yeon Gaesumun would stick to Liaodong.
, does not make much sense.
However, Goguryeo lacked horses and was very slow. The soldiers could only run to support Gaimou. However, the two places were more than a hundred miles apart, so it could not be reached overnight.
….
Yanzhen was really in a hurry, he wished he could put on his wings and fly directly to Gaimou. This time the Tang army suddenly launched an attack, which caught them off guard, and the attack was so fierce that Huaiyuan City could not even hold out for a few days.
Everything happened too fast, which was unacceptable.
It seemed that in an instant, the Tang army's heavenly soldiers had arrived at the city.
"Damn it, faster!"
He shouted and urged the horse to move.
stop!
An arrow missed and streaked in the air, killing Yanzhen on the spot. The arrow missed Yanzhen's head, killing him.
Bang!
Yeonjin's body fell off the horse and fell to the ground and expired. After Yeonjin's death, the Goguryeo soldiers panicked and subconsciously formed a circle, hugging each other for warmth and observing the surroundings vigilantly.
Yeonjin
The deputy general was already frightened out of his wits and panicked.
Soon, from the north, a group of light cavalry came from a distance to kill.
"Tang Jun, it's Tang Jun!"
"Run quickly!"
"The general is dead!"
Before the battle started, the enemy was already frightened. Faced with the general's death and the Tang cavalry attacking, the Goguryeo soldiers had only one idea in their minds.
escape!
Wow!
The Goguryeo soldiers fled frantically, just hoping to run faster and save their lives. But their ideas were doomed to failure, because how could two legs outrun four legs?
Boom!
The sound of the horses' hooves in the Tang Dynasty was like iron rain, and like the talisman of the King of Hell, telling the fleeing Goguryeo soldiers that the sickle of death was coming!
"kill!"
The general at the head of the Tang Cavalry was none other than Cheng Mingzhen. Following Uncle Xie's orders, he led three thousand cavalry to intercept and kill Yuan Gaisuwen's reinforcements sent to Gaimu. At this moment, it was the time for him to make a meritorious deed!
Horses were waving, heads were flying, war horses were neighing, and the slaughter was endless. Although the number of Goguryeo soldiers and horses was tens of thousands, they were no match for the brave and capable Tang cavalry. The two sides fought with only half a stick.
During the Fragrant Kung Fu, Tang Qi relied on his power of mounted shooting to kill the Goguryeo soldiers and horses to their death.
You know, the Tang army was truly experienced in many battles. How could the Goguryeo soldiers and horses’ combat experience and combat abilities compare with the Tang army?
What's more, Li Zhiyun has been providing the army with a large amount of beef and mutton over the years, which has already trained the soldiers' physiques to extremely barbaric levels. Not to mention that everyone is an enemy of ten thousand, but against the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, he can defeat one against five.
This is not an exaggeration, it is even too modest.
"ah!"
Half an hour later, as Cheng Mingzhen smashed the head of Lieutenant General Yanzhen with one blow, the interception battle was declared over.
"Report!"
A young scout rushed towards him on horseback, got close, and got off his horse.
Cheng Mingzhen looked at the young general, his expression softened slightly, "Speak!"
"Report to the general that our army killed more than 6,000 people and captured more than 1,000 people. The enemy army was routed and scattered."
Cheng Mingzhen nodded, immediately dismounted, walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Well done, you must have shot the enemy general to death, Qin Huaiyu."
The young general raised his head, it was Qin Huaiyu.
"Good luck." He was slightly embarrassed.
Cheng Mingzhen said: "On the battlefield, luck is also a part of strength. If you can shoot the enemy general to death, this is your credit, and I will record it for you."
"Thank you, General!" Qin Huaiyu thanked him.
"Here's the order. The entire army will rest for one incense stick. After one stick of incense, head to Liaodong!"
"yes."
Qin Huaiyu turned around and went down to deliver the order.
Cheng Mingzhen looked at the young man's back and sighed slightly: "As expected of a general."
After Qin Huaiyu was admitted to university, he decisively chose the military major. During the feast of the attack on Goguryeo, he received an order to accompany the army to the battlefield, practice theoretical courses, and observe what real war was like.
His current identity is as a scout of the Tang Army. Not long ago, he followed the experienced scouts to reconnoiter the battlefield information and discovered the traces of Yanzhen early. He followed him until Cheng Mingzhen led his army to intercept and kill Yanzhen, and decisively shot Yanzhen to death with an arrow.
"happy!"
Qin Huaiyu led the horse and sat on the ground, followed by Cheng Chumo and several others.
In the battle just now, he also charged behind. The killing on the battlefield was not as simple as he imagined, but it was indeed very enjoyable.
Cheng Chumo and the other boys were all slightly injured, but it was not serious, but it only made them more excited. As Tang Qi fought together, the feeling was indeed an unprecedented experience.
"We are also the Tang Army now!" Qin Huaiyu said.
"Um."
Several friends nodded one after another.
