If it were another time, Li Xiaogong wouldn't be surprised, because no matter what, this was the time when Xuantu City had just been captured...
Of course, this time is actually very suitable for a sudden attack on the camp. After all, the power of victory is here, and the soldiers will be somewhat proud, or arrogant.
But Li Xiaogong expected that the Goguryeo people would not come. The reason was very simple, because the Goguryeo people were not immortals.
The Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty were certainly arrogant, but this was human nature, because they had won the battle after all.
While the impact of the victory on the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty was this, the impact on the Goguryeo people was obviously to cause panic.
The Goguryeo people were not immortals. The army was in panic, so how could they violate human nature? It was better to organize an attack at this time and make a surprise attack.
But after all, things have happened... In a second thought, Li Xiaogong immediately thought clearly.
It is true that most of the Goguryeo soldiers were in panic, but panic does not necessarily lead to retreat, it may also lead to panic...
As soon as the opponent sees that the battle is not going to be easy, he will take risks. This is indeed possible!
Li Xiaogong secretly cursed himself for not even thinking of this, but thinking about it again, the nighttime arrangement should be okay, and there would be no serious problems...
After thinking like this, after putting on his robe, Li Xiaogong quickly left the tent and came to the camp. Sure enough, he saw Old Demon Yuchi dispatching troops and generals, calling for the troops from all walks of life to go to meet the enemy.
Not far away, there were scattered grenade explosions.
Li Xiaogong glanced at it from a distance, then looked at Old Demon Yuchi, "Jingde, what's going on?"
I saw Old Devil Yuchi sneer, "I don't know for the moment, I think it's the Xianbei brat in Liaoyuan City. Hehe, he still wants to attack the camp..."
Li Xiaogong's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask, "Are there any casualties?"
"Are you kidding me... Your Majesty, you are overthinking this. These brats think they are doing something secretive, and God is covering it up for them. How could they have imagined that the airship could see everything as early as ten miles away... Hahahahaha!
"
Yuchi Laomo couldn't help laughing as he spoke, "Prince, that's ten miles away. We two brothers came from wars in troubled times. We can see whereabouts ten miles apart. How can we let them succeed? Is this possible?"
I have prepared grenades in the stockade a long time ago, just waiting for them to come and be beaten. Hahahaha!"
Li Xiaogong was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter... This was so funny.
However, while the two were chatting and laughing, the soldiers from the front also came to inform the two superiors that the battle was over. A group of Goguryeo soldiers, about a thousand people, were captured. Unfortunately, the commander ran away. As for Datang, the only option was to fly an airship.
One of the soldiers was caught in the wind when he landed, and he moved a little too hastily, so he fell and injured his leg.
This soldier was the one who discovered the enemy's situation. He immediately dropped the "bright fold" from the sky and landed quickly to come back to report the news. The "bright fold" was a kind of reporting item made from gunpowder in the army.
, specially made for emergency reporting by airships when detecting enemy situations. Because the shape is similar to the fire fold, it is named Liang fold.
Li Xiaogong and Yuchi Laomo couldn't help laughing even more when they heard the report.
This method of injury is interesting... But then Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "Place this soldier in good health and take care of him, and tell him that after the war is over, the court will reward him heavily. The whole family will be included!"
When the soldier who delivered the message heard that the general was so heroic, he immediately went to deliver the order with a smile on his face.
However, the two people left behind, Li Xiaogong and Yuchi Laomo, looked a little dull...
Neither of them thought that this...
How could there be no casualties in this battle?
Even if they broke into the city in the daytime yesterday, quickly destroyed the defenses, entered the battlefield, and occupied the buildings, this charge, which was almost a waste of military merit, was somewhat damaged. Although the casualties were small, there were still some.
But this time in the middle of the night...
The two of them looked at each other, with all kinds of surprise in their eyes, and their mouths were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths...
After fighting for so many years, this was the first time the two of them encountered such a situation.
It would have been an ordinary battle, but this was a night attack... The opponent took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on us, but our side was able to end the battle unscathed.
This is too exaggerated...
After a while, the two of them gradually regained consciousness and instantly understood...
There is no doubt that this must be the magical effect of the airship!
If it weren't for the airships, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty would have been ten times more capable of fighting. How could they have discovered the enemy's whereabouts ten miles away? If it weren't for this intelligence advantage, how could this night battle be so easy?
"Hahahaha...Oh, this airship is really a sacred object of the country."
Li Xiaogong sighed softly, and an uncontrollable feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
It is a feeling of powerlessness exclusive to the elderly. Facing the changes of the times, I really can't understand it.
The effect of this airship is too strong.
Old Demon Yuchi also fell silent after hearing this, and after a moment, he also sighed softly.
"This is not the time for old guys like us... If we went back a few decades and Liu Heitai had this airship, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago."
After this sigh, Li Xiaogong thought for a while and said, "There is also this grenade, which also needs to be remembered. If it weren't for this thing, how could more than a thousand Xianbei people be captured alive by archery alone? It is absolutely impossible to do this.
Good thing."
After the battle begins, no matter what means or weapons are used to fight, the first thing to ensure is that the battle is won - only on the premise that the battle can be won, it is meaningful to talk about the cost and price of the battle, because losing is the biggest price.
Based on this principle, if we look at this night battle in the past...
Even if one could use various means to predict the movements of the Goguryeo army from ten miles away, if they really wanted to fight, it would definitely not be possible to wait for the opponent to arrive in front of them and then say such naive words as "attack them head-on with the advantage of the height of the wall". It makes sense.
It's simple. No one knows whether the other party has made some preparations before touching it. Waiting until the other person's face is touched before outputting. Even if you think about it with the common sense of later generations of games, you will know that it is extremely easy to overturn the operation.
In other words, when using bows and arrows, you must start shooting when the opponent enters the shooting range. First, see if the opponent has any special preparations to attack the camp, and then consider shooting. This can be effective.
But in that case...either the other party is indeed prepared, such as special, unexpected mobilization, such as some strange equipment, such as more people than what is reported in the intelligence... Such counterattacks will often not be effective, and will most likely end up being
They have to fight hand-to-hand, and it’s hard to say whether they will win or lose.
But it is obviously not possible to wait for the opponent to get close. This is the limitation of traditional weapons and the origin of the rules of the game on the battlefield.
