The First Family of Tang Dynasty

"Go, move on, even if we go outside the Liaodong city and engage in a few rounds of shelling, it can prove that we have been angry for Chai Lao Er."

With the order of Cheng Saburo, ten battleship-class cruisers continued to move along Liangshui.

The target, of course, was the Liaodong city where Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty twice conquered Koguryo and smashed into the sand.

#####

Yuan Gai Suwen, who was wearing heavy armor, was standing on the bank of the Yalu River at the moment, watching the Goguryeo elites under his command cross the Yalu River and land on the shore.

He never imagined that Li Shimin's movements would be so fast. Just after the severe winter passed, the troops and horses of the Tang Dynasty seemed to emerge from the snow and appeared from all directions in the land of Liaodong, which was occupied by Goguryeo.

Faced with the fierce and unparalleled attack of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, who was caught off guard, was indeed losing ground.

This made Yuangaisuwen angry at the chin of the Goguryeo general, fearing death, but also a chill in his heart. Fortunately, his movements were not slow.

He who had already stationed troops on the banks of Yalu Water immediately issued an order to cross the Yalu Water, and the army would head straight for Na Liaodong City.

That's right, Liaodong City, because Yuangaisuwen knew very well what Liaodong City meant to Goguryeo.

The Sui Yang Emperor of the previous dynasty repeatedly smashed his halberd into the sand under the Liaodong City, which made Liaodong City in the hearts of Gao Ranli.

It is equivalent to an indestructible fortress of Goguryeo in the Liaodong area, and it is also the confidence of the Goguryeo people against the Central Plains Dynasty.

Once the Liaodong City is taken by the Tang Dynasty, it will be a heavy blow to the confidence of the whole country in Goguryeo to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he decided to lead the elite reinforcements to Liaodong City for the first time.

After so many years of operation in Goguryeo, Liaodong City has been completely fortified, and the residents in the city are only more than 40,000, but there are more than 20,000 troops stationed in Liaodong City.

It can be said that this extremely astonishing ratio of military and civilians is enough to see the importance of Liaodong City in Goguryeo's Liaodong strategy.

"Now that King Tang has reached the west bank of Liaoshui, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will try to cross the Liaoshui and attack Liaodong City."

A Goguryeo general said in a slightly worried voice at the moment.

"Although there are many soldiers in Liaodong City, the Tang Dynasty's elites are really powerful. If we can't get there in time, we should respond to the defenders of Liaodong City..."

Yuangai Suwen had a gloomy face, stroked his thick beard and said slowly.

"Tell Gao Huizhen and urge him to go south quickly, and in any case, rush to Baiya City before the Tang army crosses the Liaoshui East.

In this way, it is possible to rely on each other with Liaodong City. In addition, let Gao Yanshou be the commander-in-chief..."

Following the orders of Yuangaishuwen's army, a famous messenger led the army to run away, but Yuangaishuwen, who watched these messengers leave, couldn't relax.

We can only hope that the Tang army, who is advancing rapidly, will be slowed down by the Liaoshui.

The actions of the elite teachers of the Tang Dynasty were beyond what Yuan Gai Suwen could have imagined.

The three-way army of Datang had already crossed the Liaoshui under the command of three famous Tang generals.

The Duke of Yi, Qin Qiong, was stationed at Xuan Dou, and was covering the Chinese army commanded by His Majesty the Tang Emperor to cross the Beisha River and arrive here.

Gaimu City in the north and Baiya City in the south were all exposed under the eyes of the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty.

In the north, you can hit Gaimu City, which is across the water from Xincheng, and in the south, you can break through Baiya City, which is across Liangshui from Liaodong City.

It can be said that at this point, Datang has already mastered the initiative in combat on the battlefield of Liaodong.

And Jiangxia King Li Daozong's soldiers and horses have already been killed under the new city. As for Yingzhou Governor Zhang Jian, he has also led troops and horses of different races early, and is cruising between Jian'an City and Na'an City, so that the two cities will be closed. The door is guarded by itself, and dare not move without authorization.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, had already stepped off the ferry and boarded the east bank of the Liaoshui River. At this moment, Qin Qiong led a group of soldiers standing in front of him.

Li Shimin raised his hand to support Qin Qiong with a smile, and looked at the skinny who used to be afflicted by old diseases.

But after the old illness was gone, Tang Meng, who had seen the majestic man in his prime again, patted him on the shoulder and said softly.

"I have worked with Qinqing's house, how about it, Koguryo people, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses of Gaimu City are afraid of the might of our Tang army, so they hide in the city and dare not leave the city to fight. And the White Cliff City seems to be planning to stick to it."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a relaxed expression and smiled at the crowd of civil and martial arts around him.

"Looks like we, Tang Wuben, came early, and Goguryeo hasn't reacted yet. This is a good opportunity."

As soon as these words came out, all the important officials of the Tang Dynasty gave out hearty laughter and cooperated quite well.

After all, when Datang sent troops, the main reason was that the troops were more expensive than the elite, so the less reinforcements the enemy country had, the more conducive it was to the implementation of Datang's strategy of capturing Liaodong.

Ulchi Kuiman was lying comfortably in the city lord's mansion at the moment, and in front of him, the singing and dancing of those beautiful women really didn't interest him at all.

As Eulji Wende's cousin, he was able to become the city lord of Liaodong. It can be said that he did not rely on his own ability, but entirely on the merits of his uncle Eulji Wende, which made him become this Liaodong city. the mayor.

After all, Uncle Ulchi Wende, for Goguryeo, is definitely a military god. After all, it was the Goguryeo soldiers represented by him who foiled the previous attack on Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

And since the moment he learned that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was going to come to Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen took into account the prestige of Ulchi Wende in the hearts of Goguryeo soldiers.

Even though Ulji Wende has been dead for many years, but he is as powerful as he is, but he did not leave a son and a half daughter.

However, it seems that with the death of Ulji Wende, the Ulchi clan has lost all of their spiritual energy, and they are just a bunch of mediocre mediocrity.

But considering that if Ulji Wende's close relatives and juniors can come to guard Liaodong City, I believe it will definitely play a role in boosting the morale of the army.

Therefore, Yuan Gai Suwen had to pinch his nose. He spent a long time picking among the mediocre talents of the Eulzhi clan, and finally picked out the not so mediocre Ulchi Kuiman. important task.

Of course, Yuangaisuwen was very clear about the purpose of appointing him as the city owner, so he heard the reason why after the Tang army marched quickly, he quickly led his elite to cross the Yalu Water and personally rescued Liaodong City.

And although he Ulchi Kuiman is a mediocre person, he is very self-aware and knows exactly why he is sitting in this position.

Therefore, if you don't have talent, you should try to keep a low profile. For example, spend more time in the city lord's mansion, and don't expose your lack of talent and talent in military affairs in front of the soldiers and horses under your command.

What he didn't expect was that today, Liaodong City would welcome a grain transport **** fleet of the Tang Dynasty adhering to the principle of "come here, let's talk about a few guns"...
