Chapter 701 Shanhaiguan
In order to destroy the Jin State, the Tang State can be said to be a united military and civilian mind.
The grandeur of this momentum is unprecedented.
The people of the Tang Kingdom have never hated a country so much as they do now.
There is no way, Jin Guo hurt them too deeply.
After the imperial court accepted the grain and grass of the people, it began to mobilize soldiers and horses, and after the Shangyuan Festival, Li Yu took 150,000 tigers and wolves to march to the Jin country.
There are many ways to attack the Kingdom of Jin.
One is from Shanhaiguan, and the other is from the grassland.
However, if you want the Tang State to have no worries, the best way is to capture Shanhaiguan, only if their Tang army occupies Shanhaiguan, they can drive straight in.
It can be said that Shanhaiguan is a battleground for soldiers.
This was something they had already discussed years ago, and if they sent troops to the Jin State, they would seize Shanhaiguan first.
Therefore, after Li Yu set off with his soldiers and horses, he went straight to Shanhaiguan.
From Chang'an City to Shanhaiguan, it takes a month.
When they left Chang'an City, the weather was still a little cold, but when they came to Shanhaiguan, the spring breeze was soft.
Shanhaiguan is not particularly majestic, at least it can't be compared with Chang'an City in the Tang Kingdom, but compared to other cities, Shanhaiguan is also very good.
It is not easy to capture Shanhaiguan.
After Li Yu came to Shanhaiguan with his soldiers and horses, he was not in a hurry to pass the customs.
He first gathered some civil and military officials who followed him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have come to Shanhaiguan, how to break through the customs, do you have a good plan?"
Li Yu asked, everyone looked at each other, and then a military general stood up and said, "Holy Lord, we have thunder, just smash it over, and blow up the gate." ”
This military general seemed to be very confident in the power of gunpowder, but Li Yu shook his head after hearing it: "The power of gunpowder is indeed very great, but it is still a little difficult to blow up the closed door, this is obviously not possible." ”
If it was the high gunpowder of the later generations, there would be no problem at all to blow up such a door, but now what they have in the Tang Kingdom is just ordinary gunpowder, and there is no problem with such gunpowder to blow up people, but it is difficult to blow up the closed door.
After Li Yu vetoed this plan, the others looked at each other again.
"Shengshang, Shanhaiguan is not easy to capture, all we can use now is to find a way to lure out the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom and fight with them, or to forcibly attack the city, gunpowder, mechanical crossbows, etc., we can still capture Shanhaiguan."
Xu Maogong stood up and said this, what he said was equivalent to not saying it, but it seemed to be very reasonable, because the situation was like this, they either lured the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom out of the city to fight and destroy them, and this Shanhaiguan would naturally be broken, or they would forcibly attack the city.
Li Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he said, "Is there a way to lure the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom out of Shanhaiguan for a battle?" "Saint, now there are 60,000 soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, of which 50,000 are soldiers and horses led by Aobai, this Aobai is a famous general of the Jin country, very good at using soldiers, and at the same time, he has a good relationship with Dolgon, and is a close confidant of Dolgon, maybe we can start from this aspect and lure Aobai out of the city to fight with us."
Hearing this, Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's try it tomorrow, it's okay if Ao Bai goes out of the city, if he doesn't go out of the city, we will find another way." ”
---------------------
The soldiers and horses of the Tang State were stationed outside the city, and in the Shanhaiguan, Ao Bai was also discussing matters with a group of strategists and generals who passed by.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom have arrived, and I heard that the Tang Kingdom still has a very powerful thunderstorm, how should we defend the city?"
Ao Bai asked, and many soldiers discussed with each other, but none of them stood up and said a feasible solution.
When Ao Bai saw this, he was immediately a little unhappy.
"Why, do you raise a bunch of waste on weekdays, and you can't even solve this problem?"
Ao Bai was angry, and these generals finally stood up and said: "General, the Tang Kingdom is very brave, we are afraid that we will lose when we go out of the city, if you want me to say, it is better to strictly defend the city, the Tang army has not been able to capture the Shanhaiguan, and it will naturally retreat." ”
"That's right, that's right, general, we just hold on to Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's not easy for the Tang army to capture it."
“…………”
Among the people, many of them are in support of the strict defense of Shanhaiguan, and many of them are afraid of the Tang army, even if they have not fought with the Tang army, they are now having some fears, so if they can not engage with the Tang army, they try not to engage with the Tang army.
Ao Bai didn't have a definite way to repel the Tang army, and seeing that everyone thought it was feasible to hold Shanhaiguan, he had no choice but to nod and choose to stick to Shanhaiguan.
Early the next morning, Li Yu came to Shanhaiguan with his soldiers and horses.
Ao Bai stood on the city tower, and when he saw that the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"The Tang army is so brave, it's better to stick to the city."
Thinking in his heart, Ao Bai was unforgiving, and said: "Tang Tong, do you think that with such a little soldiers and horses, you can destroy the Jin Kingdom, it is really whimsical, only this Shanhaiguan is not something you can break through, you have the ability, you can attack it." ”
As he spoke, Ao Bai laughed very proudly. Li Yu stood at the pass, but pouted, and said: "Ao Baixiu is going to be rampant, your Dolgon of the Jin Kingdom has worshiped in my hands many times, not to mention that you are a small general who does not enter the stream, if you know each other, you will open the city gate and surrender, I can spare your life, if not, wait for me to attack."
After going down this mountain pass, I will behead you and hang it on this tower. ”
Li Yu said very wildly, Ao Bai heard Tang Yu humiliate Dolgon, he felt a little uncomfortable, and scolded: "Tang Tong, don't be rampant, if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city, if you want me to go out of the city to fight with you, don't even think about it." ”
Ao Bai is a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, and he is very good at fighting or something, although what Li Yu said just now is annoying, but he still heard what Li Yu meant, he just wanted to provoke him Ao Bai, and then let him go out of the city to fight with the Tang Army?
But with such momentum and soldiers and horses of the Tang Army, he dared to go out of the city to fight, so he resolutely did not go out of the city, and only stuck to Shanhaiguan.
After Aobai finished speaking, Li Yu laughed again: "It turns out that you Aobai is also a coward." ”
After Li Yu finished speaking, Tang Jun suddenly shouted: "Ao worship cowards, worship cowards............ " Tang Jun shouted in unison, the voice resounded in the sky, Ao Bai's eyes suddenly rolled out of anger, and scolded: "Tang Tong is hateful, Tang Tong is hateful, looking for death, looking for death......
