Chapter 680 Xue Li and Meng Zhao's Battle to Fame (1)

The Tang army's battle against Goryeo has always been smooth. (_《》)

However, when the vanguard of the Tang army attacked Baiyan City, they encountered the tenacious resistance of the Goryeo army. They found that in just a few days, they faced the timid and timid people who were no longer there, but brave and fearless people. Suddenly, the Tang Dynasty's attack was blocked, and the Tang Dynasty's soldiers were not adapted to the bitter and cold climate of Liaodong. The Tang army, who was sieging the city under Baiyan City, was repeatedly defeated by the Goryeo defenders and their morale was very low.

However, more importantly, as the chief general of the vanguard army, Liu Junqiong was helpless in the face of the depressed Tang army. For a moment, the entire camp was filled with a sad atmosphere.

Liu Junqiong was Cheng Zhijie's confidant general, so he could become the chief general of this vanguard army. Xue Rengui was promoted to Liu Junqiong's deputy general because of his military achievements in the northwest. Seeing the morale of the soldiers, Xue Rengui suggested that Liu Junqiong withdraw his troops twice to avoid being besieged and attacked by the Goryeo army. However, Liu Junqiong did not receive Li Shimin's order and did not dare to retreat rashly. Therefore, the 30,000 Tang troops and the Goryeo army were in a stalemate.

However, when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who was behind, heard that the 30,000 troops in front were blocked by Baiyan City, he could not capture a city within a few days. He was furious and decided to go to Baiyan City to see what was going on, and wanted to supervise the siege in person. The generals tried their best to persuade him to no avail, so they could only follow Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to Baiyan City.

However, what no one expected was that Taizong's personal trip to Baiyan City stimulated the Goryeo people.

Just the next morning, the Goryeo people suddenly opened the city gate, and tens of thousands of Goryeo troops broke out of Baiyan City and rushed to the Tang army's camp. The Tang army did not expect that the Goryeo people who had always been huddled in the city and had a strong and defensive city would take the initiative to attack, but they did not make good defense and were killed by the Goryeo army. The main general Liu Junqiong was even trapped in the heavy siege of the Goryeo people. The Goryeo people's tactics were very obvious, just to kill the main general of the Tang army, to inspire their morale and attack the arrogance of the Tang army. Therefore, their main attack direction was the Liu Junqiong tent, which was in the central position.

However, the scene of the Tang army's declining defeat happened to be seen by Li Shimin, who came to supervise the battle.

Li Shimin, who rode a horse to the opposite side of the Tang army camp, stood on a high place and saw the decay in the Tang army camp at a glance.

He said with a gloomy face, "Look at how many people the Goryeo people have dispatched this time?"

In fact, the straight-line distance between Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was very short from the Tang Army camp, but it took a long way to send troops to rescue him. Besides, the number of people sent to Goryeo this time was large, and there were only 3,000 Niuwei around him, so he did not dare to give orders rashly.

"Your Majesty, there are probably 80,000 troops!" Rencheng King Li Daozong said.

"The hateful Goryeo Dog dares to design under Baiyan City. Emperor, the veteran general asks you to order the veteran to lead the army to destroy Baiyan City!" Cheng Zhijie said angrily. Liu Junqiong's confidant general, half of the elite soldiers of Youzhou, were naturally very angry.

"Your Majesty, we only have 3,000 troops, which is not enough to fight against the 80,000 troops of Goryeo. Please think twice!" Fang Xuanling glared at Cheng Zhijie fiercely and advised Li Shimin.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I agree with Fang Xiang, please think twice!" Cen Wenben also spoke.

Suddenly, the generals around Li Shimin also spoke out to persuade Li Shimin.

When Cheng Zhijie heard everyone's advice, he turned a blind eye and stopped talking.

However, just as Li Shimin was silent, someone suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, please give the Mo General a thousand elite cavalry, and the Mo General will surely save General Liu."

silence!

The scene was very quiet, and only the whistling sound of the north wind could be heard.

Li Shimin followed everyone's eyes and found that the person who spoke was Meng Zhao, the general of Qianniu Guard.

Meng Zhao knelt on the ground with a determined look on his face and asked him for a fight.

Li Shimin admired Meng Zhao very much because Meng Zhao was not only proficient in military books, but also had good military skills and good martial arts. More importantly, he was steady, so he was promoted by Li Shimin and became the general of Qianniu Guard in just a few years. However, what Li Shimin did not expect was that Meng Zhao, who had always been steady today, would take the initiative to ask for battle, and dared to threaten that a thousand elite cavalry could save Liu Junqiong, who was besieged by an army of 80,000.

"Meng Zhao, the army has no jokes!" Li Shimin said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I cannot bring back Liu Junqiong, I am willing to come and see you!" Meng Zhao replied strongly.

"Okay - I am worthy of being the man of the Tang Dynasty. Meng Zhao, I will give you a thousand elite cavalry. I believe you can do it!" Li Shimin said boldly, "With this brave general of the Tang Dynasty, how can the little Goryeo be immortal?"

"No" Meng Zhao said simply.

I saw the horse on the back and shouted to Qianniuwei behind me, "Soldiers, come with me-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the war horses galloped, Meng Zhaohe and a thousand elite cavalry left Li Shimin and rushed to the camp opposite.

Because Meng Zhao studied at the Army Academy, his combat thoughts were deeply influenced by the generals of the Black Guard. Since he became General Qianniu Guard, he trained Qianniu Guard as a black guard, and was valued by Li Shimin. At the same time, he also had such murderous spirit cavalry as before.

Seeing Meng Zhao leave, Li Shimin remained silent and still turned his attention to the battlefield opposite.

At this time, the Tang army on the battlefield was surrounded by 80,000 Goryeo's army in the center and continued to rush, but still could not kill the Goryeo's army.

Because, these 80,000 Korean troops were different from the previous ones. They were fearless and extremely powerful. They were the first elite soldiers that the Tang army had encountered that dared to fight head-on with them. Coupled with their absolute advantage in numbers, the Tang army was in a precarious situation and was even almost wiped out.

At this time, Xue Ren Guifang Tian Hua Ji cut off the head of a Goryeo soldier. Seeing Liu Junqiong, who had been killed by the Goryeo army not far away, he activated his war horse to kill Liu Junqiong.

"Bang...bang..." The war horse galloped, and Xue Rengui was like a ferocious god of death and killed the Goryeo who besieged Liu Junqiong.

"Kill--" Xue Rengui roared, and Fang Tian's painting halberd was swung out, and he saw a bloody storm wherever the painting halberd passed, and the head fell to the ground like a ripe papaya.

With just a simple halberd, the heads of six Goryeo people were cut off.

Suddenly, the surrounding Goryeo soldiers were shocked!

Li Shimin, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also stunned, and then asked happily, "Did you see that young man is so brave, what is his name?"

"Your Majesty, his name is Xue Li!" Cheng Zhijie replied.

"Xue Li?" Li Shimin suddenly realized and whispered, "Didn't he also make contributions to the Northwest War?"

"Yes - He was appointed to Youzhou only after he made great contributions in the Northwest War." Fang Xuanling replied.

"Well——" Li Shimin responded lightly. When he knew Xue Rengui's name, he no longer had the joy he had just now. When everyone looked at the emperor's expression, they knew the reason, so they did not dare to speak and stopped talking about Xue Rengui's courage.

On the battlefield, Xue Rengui defeated the enemy with one move, and shouted to Liu Junqiong when the enemy had not recovered from his senses, "General, go quickly, Xue Li cut off the rear for you!"

"Thank you--" Liu Junqiong didn't say much, and urged the horse to leave.

At this time, the Gaoli people came to their senses and rushed towards Xue Rengui and Liu Junqiong under the command of the general. Their mission was to kill the generals of the Tang army, so how could they miss the opportunity to kill Liu Junqiong?

When Xue Rengui and Liu Junqiong saw that the enemy came up again, they waved their weapons and killed them with the Koreans.

"You all want to die!" Xue Rengui was angry. He urged his war horse and rushed towards the Goryeo people, and towards the central position of the Goryeo general.
