Chapter 9 The General
Ashi's Dao was really confused: "What's out of context..."
"Speak quickly!"
Su Dawei reached out to his shoulder with a horse whip in his hand and knocked it on his shoulder.
Ashin touched his helmet and straightened it, then said: "The generals and princes don't want to die. How can the soldiers below not be motivated by the army? Everyone turned around and killed the enemy.
After everyone in the Tang army sacrificed their lives, the Goguryeo army finally couldn't stand it and the military formation collapsed.
Countless Goguryeo soldiers were taken away and turned their horses to flee to Liaodong City.
Li Ji and Li Daozong fought desperately behind him.
He cut more than a thousand enemy troops before he retreated."
After saying this in one breath, Ashi Nadao patted his chest and complained: "Can you let me take a breath?"
Su Dawei and others kept holding their breath to wait and listen to the results.
It was not until I heard that Tang Jun won that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Sure enough, reality is always more exciting than novel stories.
This battle alone, such ups and downs, made Su Dawei, Su Qingjie, Lou Shide and other generals excited.
Su Dawei thought for a while and said, "By the way, you haven't finished talking about this yet? What happened to Goguryeo later? Why didn't Taizong destroy Goguryeo in that battle?"
With Emperor Taizong of Tang's abundant martial ethics, destroying the country was not too difficult for him.
I don’t know how many countries he destroyed along the way.
Even natural enemies like the Turks were disintegrated. Why did Goguryeo survive until now?
"Oh, wait for me to drink a little water." Ashina looked at the team and looked around again. When he found so many people, he was a little excited again, his eyes flashed, and he reached out to touch the water bag hanging next to the saddle.
"Drink water, hurry up, don't stop this time, just finish it in one breath."
"Ahem, I didn't expect you all to like the story of Taizong's war so much."
"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly, what happened to Goguryeo later?"
"Oh, after Li Ji and his team won the vanguard, the remaining people in Goguryeo hurried in the city, letting others scold, and never came out again, and became turtles with their heads.
A few days later, Taizong led the army of Houhuan City to Liaodong City. When he heard about the vanguard battles of Li Ji and others, he rewarded Li Daozong with great rewards and promoted Ma Wenju in an extraordinary manner.
In addition, Zhang Junyi, the retreating marching chief, was killed.
The next morning, Taizong made an amazing decision, and he personally led hundreds of cavalry, just like he did more than 20 years ago, to the front line to inspect the enemy situation."
When Ashinadaozhen said this, she immediately saw everyone looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like this?"
"Ami, your look makes me feel a little miserable."
"Daozhen, Taizong should have been in his forties at that time. Twenty years ago, Taizong was in his twenties. When he was fighting Wang Shichong in Luoyang, Taizong liked to lead hundreds of people to the front line of the battlefield to observe the enemy situation. He was caught by Wang Shichong several times and sent a large army to siege and kill.
He was almost dead and alive for several times, and was thrilling."
Su Dawei is still clear about this history.
"At that time, Emperor Taizong was forty-six."
Su Dawei was speechless when he said this.
At the age of forty-six, he was definitely from his grandfather in the Tang Dynasty.
At such a big age and so fierce, he is truly worthy of being Tian Khan.
"After Emperor Taizong also personally picked up the sack and carried soil and filled the moat of Liaodong City with the soldiers under the generals. In this way, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
The Tang army was fearless and launched countless fierce attacks on Liaodong City.
But Liaodong City is tall and strong, and after twelve days of attack, it still remains motionless."
After taking a breath, without waiting for the generals who were staring at him like wolves around him to ask questions, Ashina said quickly: "There is a turning point. In the middle of May, suddenly a night of south wind blowing, dust and sand covering the sky and the sun, the stars and moons are hidden, and it becomes dark everywhere.
Seeing this, Emperor Taizong selected dozens of elite soldiers and quietly climbed up to the courtyard city under the night.
A fire burned the corner tower southwest of Liaodong City.
That night, the wind blew and the fire was everywhere.
The city defenses in the entire Liaodong city suddenly became chaotic and the morale of the army was disintegrated.
Taizong took the opportunity to lead his army to launch a fierce attack on Liaodong City again. Before dawn, the Liaodong City, which Emperor Yang of Sui had failed to break through millions of troops, fell into the hands of our army."
After saying this, not only the generals were very excited, but even many of the soldiers passing by were struggling to strike the weapons and shouting: "Our army is mighty!"
Su Dawei was also speechless for a while.
This weather was so coincidental, comparable to Emperor Guangwu of Han’s fireball summoning technique and storm technique.
Think about the strong wind that night and the fire dragon soared into the sky, it was definitely a big scene.
As expected, he is worthy of being the son of the plane. His luck brings his body, and the heaven and earth come together.
If you are a Khan of Heaven, how can you not have any luck?
Well, Taizong must have abundant dragon energy and strong martial virtues.
"In this battle of Liaodong City, the Goguryeo Army was killed more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 were captured, and more than 40,000 people were captured. Later, Taizong changed Liaodong City to Liaozhou."
Ashinadao looked around and saw that the people had not yet dispersed, he simply rode his horse and continued, "Our army rested in Liaodong City for ten days, and then Taizong Li Jie rushed to the nearest Baiyan City.
Before it arrived, Sun Daiyin, the garrison of Baiyan City, raised the flag and surrendered. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and immediately urged to speed up the action and go to receive the surrender.
But when the armies rushed to Baiyan City in a hurry, Sun Daiyin changed her mind again.
As soon as he changed his mind, he harmed the whole city...
In a rage, Emperor Taizong issued a harsh military order: On the day of breaking the city, all rewards will be given to soldiers regardless of gender, age or public or private."
All the generals were impressed by the hearing.
Even the passing soldiers stretched their necks and cast curious eyes on this side.
Su Dawei sighed in his heart.
OK, I finally know where the root cause of Su Dingfang's previous order came from.
It turns out that there has been a precedent since Taizong.
It is a nice saying to reward soldiers. In fact, it is just like what Cheng Zhijie did when he fought against the Western Turks and what Su Dingfang did in Baekje before.
That is, the city slaughter.
Arrange soldiers to rob.
Survivors are slaves and women are prostitutes and will never turn over.
"Taizong ordered the right guard general Li Simo to launch a fierce attack on Baiyancheng for the vanguard, fighting from morning to night. He was about to be broken, but an accident occurred. Li Simo was shot by a scattered arrow. In desperation, he had to withdraw his troops.
At this time, more than 10,000 reinforcements sent by Goguryeo from Wugu City were already not far from Baiyan City.”
Damn it!
Su Dawei glared at Ashi fiercely, wondering if this kid was intentional and said that he was so ups and downs to Goguryeo? Do you think you are a storyteller?
"Ahem, why don't we talk about this today and let's continue on our way." Ashin's way really saw that Su Dawei looked bad and was a little cowardly.
"No!"
Su Qingjie grabbed his arm from the horse: "I'm almost remembering it from behind, I have an impression. You can stop talking about it when you talk about what I know."
"Why, we want to hear it all."
Su Dawei also sneered at Ashi's silence: "If you start, don't explain the attack on Goguryeo today, don't eat until evening."
"Well……"
Ashi was really stunned for a moment, and immediately said quickly: "Taizong was very painful to see Li Simo being injured by an arrow. In order to encourage his bravery, he actually sucked blood for Li Simo's wounds and sucked out all the blood.
General Qi Biheli was very moved when he heard about Taizong's move. He actually led 800 cavalrymen to take the initiative to block the newly added 10,000 reinforcements."
Speaking of this, Su Dawei nodded: "I know how powerful Qi Bili."
It was this old man who took the initiative to bury Taizong for his life when Emperor Taizong died.
This is a huge problem.
For Hu general Qibi Heli, Emperor Taizong was kind to know and was buried with him according to the rules of the Hu people, otherwise he would be unfaithful.
So he must bring it up.
But for Li Zhi, if he agrees, what do others think? Should others also be buried with Taizong?
But Li Zhi couldn't just say to stop him.
After all, it was for his father to go to the burial of his father, and he said he didn't want it. Isn't that unfilial?
Li Zhi, the clever Li Zhi, quickly resolved the matter and told Qibing Heli and others that Emperor Taizong once said during his lifetime that you should keep a useful body and serve the country without burying him alone, which would solve a small crisis in this way.
Wang Xiaojie asked from the side: "Qibi Heli has only 800 people, how can he stop those ten thousand people?"
"Of course...can't stop it."
When Ashi said this truth, he almost made people around him punch him directly.
When he saw that the atmosphere was wrong, he learned his lesson and waved his hand without waiting for urging him: "That battle was really tragic. Qi Bi Heli was really desperate. During the battle, he was pierced by the enemy's spear and was about to die..."
"Don't breathe heavily! Let me finish!"
Su Qingjie, Wang Xiaojie, Cui Qi and others all became anxious.
"Xue Wanche's younger brother Xue Wanbei is in the army at this time. Seeing that Qi Biheli is in trouble, he single-handedly entered the Goguryeo Central Army, and killed desperately. Finally, he rescued Qi Biheli from the army."
"Xue Wanbei?"
Su Dawei was a little unfamiliar with this person and couldn't help asking.
An Wensheng said on the side: "In the fourth year of Yonghui, he was involved in Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche and King Jing Li Yuanjing's rebellion case, and was exiled to Jiaozhou."
Su Dawei was silent for a moment.
What a pity that the Xue family, a great man, was unable to continue to shine on the battlefield.
It's a pity.
An Wensheng glanced at Su Dawei, then squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, turned his head to Ashi's true words, "It's more than ten miles away, and you'll be in Siqi City. You'd better finish it quickly, otherwise..."
Otherwise, nothing else needs to be said.
When Ashi Nadaozhen saw Su Qingjie and others, she looked like she wanted to hear it and hated him for a while. She was ready to try to make a sandbag, and she suddenly became timid.
I secretly scolded myself for not showing off my troublesomeness.
He had to bite the bullet and said, "After Qibi Heli was rescued, he did not withdraw his wounds and recovered. Instead, he became even more angry. He just simply bandaged him and led his people to rush towards the enemy.
This scared the Goguryeo people, thinking that the Tang general had any magic that could not die.
The situation was actually disrupted, and in the end more than 10,000 Goguryeo troops trampled on each other and scattered for dozens of miles.
He was killed by Qi Bi Heli and Xue Wanbei in one go, and then he stopped the troops in the dark."
fierce!
Su Dawei felt numb in his head and eyes in an instant.
This is too powerful.
If you have the chance, you really need to see this alien general.
An Wensheng asked him from the side: "Ami, you defeated thousands of Baekje with a thousand cavalry last time outside the city of Weigu. It seems that the battle between you and Cheb Heli is different."
"Wensheng, don't hurt me."
Su Dawei smiled bitterly: "At that time, Baekje and Silla had already chopped each other and were exhausted. The thousand of us were at the peak of our momentum and were free to get a bargain. If we were in a situation like Chiba Heli, I wouldn't have done it."
"The environment is different, it is difficult to compare. The fighting spirit and quality of the soldiers in the palace are much lower than that time."
An Wensheng lowered his voice and said, "If there is a real Xuan Armored Essence Knight from Taizong, with your strategy, it will be easier to fight thousands of people."
"Hey, Wensheng, why are you talking so beautifully today?"
