Chapter 1168 Everything is ready, just waiting to send troops!
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the Goguryeo army must be wary of minefields and let them be alert!
On the other hand, you can't scare it too seriously, after all...
According to the information obtained by Datang.
Although the Goguryeo army was powerful, it was because the different tribes within Goguryeo had a consensus that "Han people are easy to bully, and if we all stick together, we can make a fortune by harvesting grass and valleys."
Once there is a problem with this consensus, for example, the cost of fighting the Han Caogu increases significantly, then...the alliance will loosen.
The main task now is to destroy Goguryeo and its organized tribal army. The main task of the battle is to annihilate and take away Ding Zhuang for resettlement.
And since it is an annihilation war to completely dismantle its organization, then of course... we can't scare people away directly. We really have to make money directly. The cost of many landmines in Datang is not low...
After considering this, Li Ji and Changsun Wuji arranged the mines more closely to ensure that the Goguryeo army would step on them as soon as they came over the edge of the minefield. This would not only achieve the "driving" effect, but at the same time, it would not cause too much damage.
The reinforcements fled directly.
And the result of this is landmines... After all, they were made by craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. Although the craftsmanship is superior to that of other tribal countries in the world, it must be a lie to say that there will never be any problems when used on such a large scale.
.
In short, if you use it too intensively, of course you will accidentally trigger a few of them, plus...
Cheng Yaojin pretended to attack Anshi City from the front. Although it was a feint attack, he also used a lot of grenades. Although the birds nearby were extremely rare because it was winter, they were still driven to the north against their seasonal instincts.
...But no matter what, although Li Ji was also very nervous and worried about overturning the car, Changsun Wuji... Changsun Wuji was even more worried, but fortunately.
at present.
Goguryeo's army is already heading in the preset direction as everyone thought!
The next step is just to wait for Goguryeo's Xianbei to arrive at the desired location before launching an attack!
At this time, the Goguryeo reinforcements had already walked for a while. Changle stared closely at the direction in which the distant army disappeared, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"...Then let's leave as soon as possible. This land and water dojo is about to open."
After Changle said that, he turned around and walked deep into the forest behind him. Everyone's horses were tied there, and the Qingqi could reach the city in no time.
but……
That being said, everything is ready and just waiting to send out troops.
Changsun Wuji and Li Ji were still slightly nervous.
After all... this is an expedition to Goguryeo, and Goguryeo has been a major border trouble in the Central Plains for countless years!
…
Shortly after.
On the other side, Anshi City.
Yang Wanchun was taking command in the city. He was dressed in a python robe, with a solemn and indifferent expression. He stood high at the top of the city, and he was not afraid of the rain of arrows from the Tang army.
Because of Yang Wanchun's cold and arrogant aura, the soldiers and civilians in the city still had high morale despite the continuous battles.
Moreover, Yang Wanchun has repeatedly lectured to the people and the army in the past few days, stating the evil nature of the Tang army. Once these Han people enter the city, they will be massacred immediately. All men are slaves, all women are prostitutes, but what about the children?
Sorry, the Tang army was marching in difficult conditions and needed to eat meat!
…So where does this meat come from?
Yang Wanchun directly left a question for the soldiers and civilians in the city to think about.
There is no need to think about this question at all. In short, the Xianbei soldiers and civilians in the city were greatly frightened. Since the battle with the Tang army led by Yuchi Gong began, almost all of them were desperate for their own safety.
Yang Wanchun was very satisfied with this situation. In his opinion...as long as the people in the city united as one, the Tang Army would be defeated?
hehe!
The city of Anshi is as solid as a mountain. Even if there were grenades, the Tang army would not even think of exploding it!
Yang Wanchun calculated very clearly.
To throw the grenade from a distance, the Tang army would have to throw it until this time next year, maybe they could blow a hole in the city wall.
However, if a large-scale grenade is deployed close to the city wall, it is indeed possible to severely damage the city wall of Anshi.
but!
Yang Wanchun calculated that the Tang army would not be able to do this, because the walls of Anshi City were so thick and fine that they were not comparable to other Hengshan and Xuantu cities. Even if they were close enough to plug grenades, they would have to plug them two or three times.
explode.
and……
Haha, two or three times?
How can I, Yang Wanchun, with an army of 150,000 to defend the city, allow the Tang army to approach the city wall two or three times with a large number of grenades?
Although Goguryeo had nothing else and was not as good as Tang, it had developed an oil field!
Enough fire and oil pipes, let’s see who dares to get close to the city wall!
Yang Wanchun's calmness and sophistication not only firmly defended against the attack of the Tang army, but also greatly inspired the generals around him, as well as the soldiers and civilians in the city who were frightened by his various bludgeons.
Of course...it's not that the Xianbei people are not well-informed. After all, although Anshi City is a city in Goguryeo, it still has a group of "citizens". The information is certainly better than that of ordinary people, so I asked.
No, General, what the Tang Army promised is that as long as the Xianbei people surrender, they will have to work as coolies for the Tang State for ten years, but it is said that after they are done, they can go to the South China Sea... The land in that place is so rich that you can eat it every year without farming.
Full meal.
General, is this true?
Faced with this occasional trend of thought, Yang Wanchun...since he was famous for his eloquence in the Goguryeo royal court, he would certainly not be intimidated.
So he warned him and others that these were just words of the Tang army. Do you think that the Tang army even eats children and has fertile land for you? Think about the Tang court, when they fought with various princes, it was not for the land. Could it be?
Fun?
Besides, the South China Sea is all fake.
I lied to you!
After all, the Xianbei people in the city were not as knowledgeable as the Han people in the Tang Dynasty. When they heard this, they felt that it made sense and quickly gave up their illusions.
Of course, it’s not like there aren’t people who are very well-informed and very honest.
Then I asked, General, there is indeed the South China Sea to the south of the Tang State. I heard from my relatives in Youzhou that they now occupy an unknown amount of land in the South China Sea. It is true that no one is farming, and even though they work as coolies in the factories of the Tang State,
, but the food is better than here in Goguryeo...
Yang Wanchun is a veteran after all,
Although such people were much smarter, they were not many in number after all. Yang Wanchun invited them away one by one and took them to his Chinese army tent to explain to them alone, so the people no longer had any doubts.
In short, after all this stress, Yang Wanchun finally calmed down his people's hearts.
but……
Yang Wanchun still had some feelings in his heart...
"General, this is a roasted lamb sent by the people in the east of the city. Is this...general eating it here now?"
While thinking about it, a few soldiers came over carrying a fat and powerful roasted lamb. Yang Wanchun could clearly see that... he could see saliva constantly swallowing in the throats of these soldiers...
