Men should be strong when they do things, not too fast, and the longer the better. And when attacking the city, it is just the opposite, not only to be fast, but also to minimize losses.

Tang Jun took advantage of the night, and secondly, the cannon was really powerful, especially the cannonball newly developed by Chen Fei some time ago, which could explode after being shot. It is indeed a great deterrent to the enemy, and it is extremely powerful.

The Tang army captured the first city with almost no soldiers, and used this city as a base to collect the garrisons in the city, and worked for most of the night.

The next morning, the Tang army rushed to the next city non-stop. And in the evening, the siege record was once again refreshed. It only took half an hour to capture the city, because half of the city's troops were drawn to attack Goguryeo, and there was not much formal resistance at all.

Even if the Tang army used conventional methods to attack the city, it would not take much time, but Li Tao learned a principle from Chen Fei - if he can use artillery, he should use less human lives to fill it, and whether he is good or not, first hit a few cannons to test the water.

Obviously, this group of soldiers defending the city could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire at all, and after a few blows, they completely collapsed, lost their weapons and surrendered with a white flag.

Although the artillery is a little less mobile, it is indeed a first-class good hand for siege. Especially in Goguryeo, a country that has never seen the power of artillery, it is not daring to resist at all when it is hit by a few shells. The city was destroyed in less than half an hour.

Two cities were destroyed in two days, and the time was so short, that the two envoys of Silla turned their worries into joy, and they cheered and did not want to. They saw the picture of Goguryeo and Baekje succumbing to the artillery fire of the Tang Dynasty, and even being annexed by the Tang Dynasty and Silla. The two of them were so excited that they almost cried wolf, and the emotions they had complained about Datang before were swept away.

If the two Silla envoys knew the true intentions of the Tang Dynasty, it was estimated that they would vomit three liters of blood and scold the sky for having no eyes. Of course, that's all for later.

The Tang army's offensive speed was very fast, and once Li Ji became serious, he led an army that was invincible all over the world, almost devastating, and swept through the cities in the north of Goguryeo. Breaking a city in one day, the Goguryeo army in front has not received the news, and Li Ji is already about to attack the royal capital of Goguryeo.

Silla was even more tragic, losing the royal capital, and the morale of the remaining army was greatly reduced, and it was almost impossible to stop the attack of the combined forces of the two countries.

When the general commanding the battle at the front of Goguryeo learned of the Tang invasion, Silla was left with only five cities in poor Baba. To put it nicely, it can be called a city, but to put it badly, it is actually five small towns, and the walls are fragile, which is simply not enough to resist the combined forces of the two countries.

Just when Silla was desperate and panicked, when she got up the next morning, the soldiers on the city wall actually found that the allied forces that had surrounded them had disappeared without a trace overnight, and the Queen of Silla was surprised and delighted to learn the news, and hurriedly sent soldiers out to investigate, and the news she got was that all the allied forces had retreated, and there was no trace of the enemy within a radius of fifty miles!

The queen of Silla knew that it must be the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty that would force Goguryeo and Baekje to withdraw their troops to resist them.

Queen Silla is also a simple and ruthless person, the so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, seeing the coalition army retreating in panic, she immediately organized an attack, trying to present a front and rear attack with the Tang army, eliminate the coalition army in one fell swoop, and then capture the two countries.

What the Silla queen didn't know was that the Tang army had captured the capital of Goguryeo, and the king of Goguryeo was like the original Silla queen, no, it can be said that it was worse than the Silla queen, but when the Silla queen fled, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses around her, but when the Goguryeo king fled, there were only 30 guards around him, because the siege efficiency of the Tang army was so high that he didn't even have time to bring his wife and children, which can be described as miserable and miserable.

invaded Silla, and as a result, he lost his royal capital and chassis, and now the two sides are not pleased, and Goguryeo can lose his wife and lose his troops, and both ends are empty.

The Tang army is menacing, and it is equipped with thunderbolts and other weapons, and its combat effectiveness is not ordinary. The soldiers of Goguryeo had never been in contact with the thunderbolt fire in the first place, and as soon as the two armies fought, they were frightened by the thunderbolt and collapsed, thinking that it was the punishment of the gods, and those who fled fled and died, and the stupid ones were even more stupid when they were bombed, and they couldn't distinguish the direction from east to west, north and south.

Goguryeo's army was routed all the way, and the king could not escape all the way.

He was faced with two choices, either flee in the direction of Silla, join up with the generals who went to attack Silla, and fight to the death with the Tang army. Either flee in the direction of Baekje, where there are still strong fortresses and a hint of maneuver.

And Baekje is not a good bird, and if you want to be unlucky, you can't just be unlucky, everyone is unlucky.

Obviously, the king of Goguryeo was a greedy man who was afraid of death, and he was not a good bird, thinking that running to Baekje might attract the attention of the Tang army, so that they would attack Baekje instead, and he would take advantage of the chaos to flee back to Goguryeo, and he could still hold his side with the remaining cities and soldiers.

So he decisively chose to flee in the direction of Baekje. What made him miscalculate was that the Tang army did not take his life and death into account at all, and did not send a single soldier to chase him, but continued to go south to conquer the city, so that the Goguryeo king's eggs were shattered.

Goguryeo is not a large country, and the distance between the cities is very close. Seeing that the city of Goguryeo had no resistance at all, Li Tao simply didn't waste time, agreed on a gathering place, waved his hand, and divided the troops!

So the 60,000 army was divided into three pairs, Li Tao led 30,000 main soldiers and 20,000 people straight south, and the other two roads each led 15,000 soldiers and 5,000 people to sweep both sides.

In this way, the efficiency is really much higher, and in just a few days, the city in Goguryeo will be almost swept through, and soon, the soldiers and horses of the three roads will gather together and advance towards the final destination.

The soldiers of Goguryeo who went south to attack Silla also happened to arrive at the last city in the territory that had not fallen, and the main forces of the two armies broke out a large-scale battle here.

The main forces of the soldiers of Goguryeo, Baekje, Daetang, and Silla gathered here, with a total strength of more than 100,000. Goguryeo, Baekje retreated to the city, and the Tang Dynasty and Silla surrounded the city one after the other.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the victory or defeat is already obvious, Goguryeo only has the last city left, and in the face of the attack of the two countries, the Tang army has terrible weapons of destruction, and they have no chance of winning.

But there is no way back for them either! This city is their last line of defense, the last dignity, even if they die, they must die on their own land!

The generals of Baekje also have similar thoughts, their lips are cold, Goguryeo is over, and they Baekje will not be able to escape the catastrophe, it is better to take advantage of the alliance of the two armies and fight together! Otherwise, if you are single, you will not end well.

In order to express his sincerity, Silla took the lead in attacking the city wall the next morning after meeting with the Tang army!

But Tang Jun let them fight hotly, but he was unmoved, and he had the taste of watching from the wall......
