Li Zaigu was about to refute, and Hou Junji immediately said: "The above is just one of the reasons. According to the information obtained by the General Administration, Gaochang City is different from Dingxiang City and Fuqi City. As the capital of Gaochang, Gaochang City has a tight defense, high walls and strong structures, and surrounded by moats. It cannot be captured by the vanguard army alone.

Gaochang City is located in the middle, with Jiaohe City, the former capital of Cheshi's former country to the west, and Tiandicheng, the capital of the Han Wuji School, to the east. The two cities guarded each other. If the vanguard army rashly attacked Gaochang City, they would fall into a dangerous situation of being surrounded and annihilated."

Li Zaigu frowned slightly, and the second reason Hou Junji said was indeed reasonable.

However, for ordinary people, it is not easy to attack Gaochang City, but Li Zaigu is not an ordinary person.

He has enough ability to break through Gaochang City.

But, think about it carefully.

Even though he had the ability, the other soldiers of the Pioneer Army were not like him.

If Jiaohe City and Tiandicheng take the opportunity to encircle, the vanguard army may fall into danger of being encircled and annihilated.

He could not sacrifice the lives of the vanguard soldiers in exchange for his own contributions.

Li Zaigu could nod slightly and said, "The chief executive is right, but this general ignored Jiaohe City and Tiandicheng."

Hou Junji smiled and said, "General Li understands the painstaking efforts of this general manager!"

"Since Gaochang City is as solid as a rock, what good plans do the chief executive have?" Li Zaigu asked with a serious expression.

Hou Junji thought for a while and said slowly: "Attack Tiandicheng first. The general manager has sent someone to show Qu Zhisheng that our army will set up camp in Liugu and give him three days to bury Qu Wentai. Now that the general manager retreats, he and others, this is to express his attitude. Our army took advantage of the opportunity of Qu Zhisheng burying Qu Wentai and attack Tiandicheng.

If Tiandicheng is captured, Gaochang City will no longer have the momentum to attack. At that time, our army will be able to easily capture Gaochang City!"

Li Zaigu nodded and thoughtfully said, "The Chief Executive Officer is very good!"

Hou Junji has experienced many battles and has followed Li Jing to learn military tactics. He is indeed capable. Otherwise, Li Er would not have appointed him as the chief marching chief.

"As one of the important cities in Gaochang, Tiandicheng is also a tight army and solid city walls. It is not easy to break through in a short period of time." Hou Junji became serious and said in a deep voice, "General Li is both wise and brave. What kind of trick can he easily break through Tiandicheng?"

Li Zaigu thought for a moment and said slowly: "Since the chief manager wants to attack Tiandicheng first? It should have already been a plan to break the city."

Hou Junji suddenly laughed: "This chief manager is not satisfied with General Li? That's right, this chief manager has indeed had a plan to break the city."

Li Zaigu then stared at Hou Junji curiously and questioningly.

"Did General Li find out how different the deputy general manager of the marching this time are from the past?" Hou Junji did not immediately tell Li about the strategy of destroying the city in Zaigu? Instead, he asked.

Li Zaigu thought for a moment: "There is a deputy general manager who was a master craftsman."

"That's right!" Hou Junji nodded slightly? "This time, the emperor considered that the walls of the major cities in Gaochang were strong and tall, and surrounded by moats. If soldiers alone attacked the city, they would probably suffer heavy losses. Therefore, the emperor specially appointed him as a master craftsman. General Jiang Xingben, the Zuo Tun Guard, was the deputy general manager of the marching. The purpose was to make Jiang Xingben supervise the various tools needed for the siege."

He will be a master craftsman, specializing in civil engineering construction of palaces, ancestral temples, tombs, etc.

In other words, it is the leader of the craftsman.

Li Zaigu nodded clearly, and then thoughtfully said: "No wonder when I returned to Liugu? I saw a craftsman in charge of siege tools such as crashes, stone throwing cars."

Had a slight pause? Li Zaiguruo realized something: "Is the Grand Chief Manager going to use siege tools to break through Tiandicheng?"

"That's exactly what it means!" Hou Junji said, showing a little smile.

"Okay, very good!" Li Zaigu agreed, "With siege equipment assists, it is not only easier to break out of Tiandicheng? It can also reduce the losses of our soldiers!"

"Well, General Li will understand!" Hou Junji changed his mind? "Li Zaigu, Qi Bi Heli obeyed the order!"

"exist!"

"I'll order you and the two of you to lead your army to attack Tiandicheng!"

"Abide by the order!"

"The attack on Tiandicheng is a big deal, it is related to the entire battle situation? Xu Sheng is not allowed to be defeated!"

"I will definitely fulfill my mission and conquer Tiandicheng!" Li Zaigu said with confidence.

"The last general will definitely live up to his mission? Conquer Tiandicheng with General Li!" Qi Bi Heli followed closely.

"Very good! This chief manager is waiting for the news that Tiandicheng will break the city!"

"I will gather the team immediately? Let's set off tonight!" Li Zaigudao.

"Yes." Hou Junji nodded.

Li Zaigu and Qi Bi He Li bowed? Then he turned around and left.

Hou Junji looked at Li Zaigu's back, and a strange feeling flashed across his eyes.

"The chief manager, why don't he lead his army to capture Tiandicheng?"

After Li Zaigu left, a confidant general of Hou Junji was puzzled.

After Hou Junji relocated to the left and right, he whispered: "If the general manager personally led his army to attack Tiandicheng, the greatest contribution to the attack on Gaochang will not belong to the general manager."

Seeing the confidant general looking confused, Hou Junji explained: "This chief general ordered Li Zaigu and Niu Jinda to attack Tiandicheng, so he could take the opportunity to lead his army to attack Gaochang City in person. The credit he received will be the greatest!

One of the purposes of this general manager who withdrew Li Zaigu and did not allow him to take the opportunity to attack Gaochang City was that he did not want him to take the lead."

The confidant general nodded immediately.

"In addition, the general manager of this university ordered Li Zaigu to attack Tiandicheng in order to divert the attention of the defenders in Gaochang City and make the defenders in Gaochang City think that our army will not take this opportunity to attack Gaochang City." Hou Junji continued.

"The chief general is a plan to attack the east and the west, and another plan to kill two birds with one stone. High, really high!" The confidant general flattered.

Hou Junji laughed proudly.

Li Zaigu and Qibi Heli gathered 10,000 troops and rushed to Tiandicheng in groups at night.

The next morning, the three thousand vanguard troops led by Li Zaigu first rushed to Tiandicheng, cleared the defenders outside Tiandicheng, and then cut off the passageways leading to various places in Tiandicheng.

The guard of Tiandicheng City, Tuo Wenshan, heard the Tang army appear outside Tiandicheng, was so scared that he almost couldn't sit steadily.

This Tuo Wenshan is the half-brother of Tuo Wentai. Fortunately, his psychological quality is stronger than Tuo Wentai, otherwise he would be as scared to death like Tuo Wentai.

When Kuo Wenshan confirmed that the Tang army outside Tiandicheng had only 3,000 troops, he felt a little relieved.

There are more than 10,000 defenders in Tiandicheng. With its strong city walls, they have enough ability to withstand only three thousand Tang troops.

Cowenshan ordered additional soldiers to be sent to each city gate to guard against each other.

Tuo Wenshan is not stupid either. Although the arrival of the Tang army is only 3,000 for the time being, they must be elite soldiers and generals. Otherwise, they would not dare to come, and there might be a large army behind them.
