"At the black banner ahead, who is the one wearing the armor?"

Standing at the lookout corner on the top of the ship, Li Shimin handed the telescope in his hand to Niu Jinda.

Niu Jinda stretched out the binoculars, closed his eyes, and then looked at it fixedly, and said after a while: "It should be the remnants of the Yuan family." ”

"Oh?"

Smiling, Li Dong, who was quite playful, turned around and looked back at Ma Zhou, "King Bin, the king of Joseon in the old days, can he have descendants?" ”

"There are still some branches left, in order to dominate the Goguryeo ministers."

At that time, the fortress was piled up to build the walled, and the fortress fortifications were repaired all the way, which directly trapped and killed all the regular troops of Goguryeo. It's really not that the ministers want this, but that the Tang Dynasty does not conduct a decisive battle at all, nor does it negotiate.

No matter how many envoys Goguryeo sent, they were all treated coldly, not receiving meetings, not having interviews, not expelling, and leaving themselves to fend for themselves.

Later, about the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, there was an envoy from Goguryeo who defected directly and started a small business in Youzhou in the form of "lowly status", which can be regarded as a unique way to survive.

Goguryeo faced the Tang Dynasty's war of attrition, knowing that the end would be difficult, but also had to bite the bullet. And the intrigue of domestic monarchs and ministers, whether it is a monarch or a powerful minister, must seek a "decisive battle", and also win, in order to continue to maintain domestic power or turn the tables.

However, the Tang army repeatedly contacted, but they were all annihilated by small forces, and the large armies confronted each other, forming a joint camp to build a city and forts, purely to smash it with money.

As for the flat field battle, the Goguryeo side never considered it. The "decisive battle" they seek is a defensive battle in a certain city, or a bad battle in the mountains.

But what really dragged Goguryeo to death was the rotten battle in the mountains, the equipment gap was too large, and the regular soldiers of the Tang army who could "break the whole into pieces" were all "good families" drawn from Hedong, Hebei. Some of these veterans were originally the field army that killed the Turks back then.

All veterans who can live from the third year of Zhenguan to the fourteenth year of Zhenguan or the twelfth year of Zhenguan have a very rich family background, plus subsidies from the United Military Office and the Ministry of War, as well as the "special funds" allocated by Emperor Li from the royal treasury in order to make profits that are not enough for outsiders. This led to a situation in which the number of armor worn by these "broken into pieces" of the Tang Army stragglers was rarely close to 100 percent.

The reason for this is related to the procurement contract of the Ministry of Military Engineering of Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant.

So a strange situation appeared, a simple regiment of the Tang Army, about 200 people, almost the whole regiment was armored, this number was almost the main force of the Goguryeo border army.

This is not some special tanned leather armor or bamboo armor, real iron armor. Although the parity between one regiment and one army on the other side is a special contrast caused by special circumstances and special conditions, this is the reality that makes all forces in the two countries have to be frightened.

The armor is still ......

It was not the monarchs and ministers of Goguryeo who were shaken, but the entire Tang Dynasty, which was also mixed. After all, even if the arithmetic is not as good as the Wu girl, the basic arithmetic of the normal "cultivation and reading heirloom" is still passable.

According to the configuration of Liaodi fourteen years before Zhenguan, Emperor Zhenguan actually only had to think that it was not difficult for the Gyeonggi Heavy Land to hold tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of all-round ironclad troops.

It's just surprising that the big boss of Datang Empire Co., Ltd. doesn't seem to be doing this.

Of course, the Four Heavenly Kings and the alternate Heavenly Kings all understand.

It's a very simple truth: Lao Tzu can kill you with one finger, what more mace?

What's even more disgusting is that at that time, the Tang Army's "whole into pieces" was not pure infantry, and a regiment was also equipped with a large number of war horses, pull horses, and pack horses. In addition to these, if it is a continuous operation, it will also be deployed about a brigade or a team of baggage. These "soldiers" who are busy with logistics are not yet registered, and most of their files are Shicheng Iron and Steel Works......

Of course, this is still not the most disgusting, the Tang Army at that time, because a certain boss was too rich and capricious, the ration of the flying arrows was compared to the Western Army, and even Hu Lu was two to five per person.

What's even more disgusting is that if the border troops of the Goguryeo army going out of the city to fight are the elite in armor, then Youzhou will temporarily distribute binoculars to the captains of the field regiments.

If necessary, Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant will also lease a special Hebei car, how to use it, a certain Turkic old mad dog has been detailed in a secret letter to his master.

Anyway, the Hebei swordsman is also a clear man for this, not to mention the Hebei border army?

As for means other than military, although Emperor Li also spent money to buy them, more often than not, they were mouth cannons.

With a set of drums and a set of drums, the leader of any of the Murwei tribes can be obedient and become dogs. As for Emperor Li's promise to the King of Goguryeo, both horizontal and vertical were to kill others, and there was no black and white lettering, so Emperor Li turned his face and didn't recognize people.

Later, Goguryeo was completely dried up, and Emperor Li just dropped a few drops of saliva in front of the tributary Fanbang envoys during the meeting.

All the sins are naturally the family of a certain Goguryeo minister.

"This Yuan clan has some ability, and he can still know that I am here, which is not ordinary."

After that, Li Dong said casually, "King Bin, check it." ”

"Obey."

Looking down at the order, the boss had already led people down the stairs, turned the feast, picked up a spoon and dug up the crab meat paste, and ate happily.

The pier extends to the shore, flanked by newly built piers, and the seawall is beginning to take shape. The newly built buildings at the wharf are all flat and stable, and from time to time you can see Tang Army marksmen and observers observing the situation on the flat roofs.

The whole house is a line, and it becomes a fortification. In fact, to the north of the house, there is a natural river, and on the east and west sides of this small river, there are piles of stones, timber and other building materials, apparently to widen the river and build a river embankment.

The building materials are surrounded by a fence, and one of the fences has a gatehouse, and when you look from the roof of the house, you can see a soldier in the gatehouse. At this time, because the alarm horn sounded, the crossbowman had already aimed through the fence, and the spearman directly put his spear on a gap in the fence.

This is a special area construction layout plan planned in accordance with the latest regulations of the Ministry of Industry, and to deal with the harassment of small groups, a few soldiers stationed in the gatehouse are enough to solve it. In the event of a large enemy situation, the soldiers at these gatehouses can retreat to the fortifications under the cover of the fence, and then form a defensive position.

In today's situation in Liaodong, it is obviously unlikely that there will be a large enemy counterattack.

"Another bluff."

Ma Zhou sneered, the Yuan clan showed his identity with great fanfare, and when he came to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had a wrong thought, what if he was lucky, the emperor was scared to death? Isn't this just a post? If your arrows are particularly awesome, and an arrow pierces your heart eight hundred miles away, wouldn't you immediately become a god and an immortal?

Of course, if the emperor can't die, maybe he will kill the minister? The minister can't die, and it's good to have a stubborn Tang Army soldier. Not to mention anything else, a few lives in exchange for a full set of Tang Army-standard weapons, you will make a sure profit.

If there is not a single hair, it is not bad, anyway, in the entire circle of Fuyu people, they dare to come over and make a show, and others don't even dare to say anything?

After going back this time, don't you have a triumphant treatment with the hero?

Sure enough, the Tang army sentry rode out with a bow, and the black banner was instantly put away by the Goguryeo people, and then rolled up a wrapper, and didn't even say cruel words, and slipped away directly.

A series of operations have obviously been rehearsed many times, very skilled and very methodical, Rao is Ma Zhou knew the other party's small abacus, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"It's better to shoot an arrow."

After stumbling out of such a sentence for a long time, Ma Zhou felt that he was crazy.

However, among the Goguryeo people, there are also people who sigh with regret: "Great pair of Lord Lu, it would be good if you shot an arrow." ”

When the "big pair of Lu" heard this, he immediately showed a smile amiably, and said to the left and right: "Give him a bow and a pot of arrows, so that this warrior can break his back." ”

"Broken ...... After the break? ”

"Da Xiang Lu" patted the Goguryeo warrior's shoulder very kindly: "Don't say one arrow, you can shoot thirty arrows if you want." ”

After saying that, "Da Xiang Lu" turned his head and shouted: "Go!" ”

The breeze blew, and the Goguryeo warriors suddenly reacted, but their own people had already run fast, leaving him alone in the same place.

He was about to follow, but he heard a "boom", and the sharpshooter among his own people in the distance shot an arrow in front of him.

The Goguryeo warrior's running footsteps stopped abruptly, and then he showed resoluteness, picked up his bow and arrows, turned to face the Tang army sentry, slammed, and knelt on the ground: "Lord Shangguo, spare your life-"
