Cheng Yanjin reluctantly rode on his war horse again, led his troops, and headed towards Jili City. The lieutenants behind him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.

And Wei Chigong continued to lead the disguised soldiers in the direction of Shicheng. When it was almost dark, I finally came to the front of the stone city.

"As long as you can open the city gate today, Ben Shuai promises to spare you a dog's life. Otherwise, Ben Shuai will definitely put you to death. Wei Chigong said to a member of the Goguryeo general beside him.

"The generalissimo, although rest assured, the villain will definitely call the gate of this stone city open. You just wait to lead your troops to reclaim Stone City. The adjutant general said to Wei Chigong with a flattering face.

After finishing speaking, the adjutant general came to Shichengguan and shouted loudly to the gate: "Hurry up and lower the drawbridge and open the city gate, General Li has returned victorious." ”

The soldiers in the city heard that it was their own commander who had returned. Naturally, he didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately ordered someone to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.

Wei Chigong did not slack off, and directly led people across the drawbridge to the city gate. At this time, the defenders above the stone city did not find the slightest mistake.

Just like that, I watched Yu Chigong lead people into Stone City. After entering the stone city, Wei Chigong immediately ordered people to occupy the city gate.

After seizing the city gate, Xue Rengui raised the eight snake spears in his hand and shouted loudly at the general: "If you don't put down your weapons and surrender, your main general Li Daming has been killed by Ben Shuai." ”

Hearing that Li Daming was dead, the soldiers in the city exploded in an instant. Now there is no trace of war.

So, some chose to lay down their arms and surrender, while others went directly to another city gate. Hopefully I can escape.

However, Wei Chigong took 50,000 Tang troops and began to kill in Shicheng. As long as you have a blade in your hand, it doesn't matter if you resist or not. All of them will be killed at the first time.

In this way, Wei Chigong led his troops in Shicheng and killed until around midnight. to completely control the entire stone city in his hands.

Early the next morning, Wei Chigong led his troops again and ransacked the entire stone city. Even ordinary people were all driven out of Shicheng by Wei Chigong.

However, Wei Chigong did not kill them, but directly expelled them from Shicheng. After all, leaving them in the city is extremely unstable.

After dealing with everything, Wei Chigong ordered someone to send a letter to Jili City. Let Li Shimin move the stone city.

……

The news of the Tang army's occupation of Shicheng here soon spread to Sanjiang Yuehucheng. When the generalissimo of Goguryeo, Gai Suwen, learned that Shi Cheng was taken down so easily.

couldn't help but be furious and scolded Li Daming for being a wine bag and rice bag. But even if he gets angry again, he can't change this fact.

In fact, Gai Suwen didn't think that Shicheng could be defended. There is no hope that Li Daming can defeat the Tang army.

All he wants is to delay as much time as possible, as long as he gives himself enough time to prepare. He was sure to win the war.

"Generalissimo, now that we have lost three cities in a row, I don't know where Li Shimin will point the finger next." King Gao Jianzhuang opened his mouth and asked Gai Suwen.

"The king doesn't have to worry, no matter where he points the finger. Even if the entire Liaodong region is occupied. It's only temporary. ”

"As long as he comes to Sanjiang Yuehu City, I promise that he will not return." Gai Suwen said to King Gao Jianzhuang.

"Then I don't know how we should prepare for the next step." King Gao Jianzhuang asked Gai Suwen.

"Tang Tong Li Shimin, will definitely pass through the Yalu River in the end, and our army can deploy heavy troops in Phoenix City. When the time comes, Ben Shuai will come to Phoenix in person. ”

"Even if you can't kill Tang Tong Li Shimin in Phoenix City. It will definitely make him lose his troops. Gai Suwen said to King Gao Jianzhuang.

……

Gai Suwen was as expected, and now he has taken Stone City. Then the next step to deal with is the Tianshan Mountains. Only by laying down the Tien Shan Mountains can you reach Anshi State

After taking Anshi Prefecture, only Liaodong City and Phoenix City are left east of the Yalu River.

If you want to cross the Yalu River, you must occupy Phoenix. Then you can go to Sanjiang Yue Tiger City. As long as the three rivers and the tiger city are defeated, this cross-sea expedition to the east will be considered a victory.

On this day, Wei Chi Gonggao sat in the handsome hall and said to Zhang Shigui: "In the past few days, the vanguard army has been resting and recuperating. Then send troops to the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"The last general will immediately return to the vanguard camp to prepare, and tomorrow morning he will send troops to Tianshan. Open the door to Anshi State for the marshal. Zhang Shigui opened his mouth and said Chi Gong.

In fact, this Tianshan Mountain is not the Tianshan Mountain as later generations, but the thousand mountains of Liaodong in later generations. (The dragon soul was not in the Liaodong generation and found the location of the Tianshan Mountains.) So I think the most likely is a thousand mountains, don't like it, don't spray. ）

Now there are three big cities left in the entire Liaodong, namely Anshi Prefecture and Liaodong City, and the other is Phoenix City. Now Liaodong City has been panicked by Li Tai.

Therefore, Liaodong City is no longer afraid, and the only thing left is this Anshi Prefecture. And the only barrier in this Anshi state is this Tianshan Mountain.

As long as the Tianshan Mountains are taken, Anshi Prefecture will be at your fingertips. Therefore, the battle of Tianshan has a crucial role in whether the entire Liaodong can be controlled.

Although even if you don't occupy Anshi Prefecture, you can still lead troops to Phoenix. But that would easily cut off the back road, so no one would dare to take such a risk.

After Zhang Shigui returned to the pioneer camp, he ordered the whole army to prepare. Early the next morning, they set up camp and headed for the Tianshan Mountains.

This Tianshan is only six or seven days away from Shicheng. Therefore, Zhang Shigui's vanguard army soon came to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain.

This Tianshan Mountain is indeed a majestic pass. But see that the Tianshan Mountain is more than thousands of zhang high, the guns and knives are like waves, and the three peaks are mostly rolling wood. Pull up a big banner and write seven words: "Heroes are mourned under the Tianshan Mountain".

There are three brothers on the mountain, named Liaolong, Liaohu, and Liaosangao. All of them are unstoppable generals, and it is said that in Goguryeo, in addition to Gai Suwen, the top three of their brothers are strong in martial arts.

Now they have also received news that the Tang army has occupied Shicheng and has sent a vanguard army to the Tianshan Mountains.

"I said big brother, Li Daming, the guard of this stone city, is really a brave and unscrupulous waste wood. I directly fell for someone else's plan to invite you into the urn. Liao Hu laughed and said to Liao Long.

"The second brother must not underestimate the enemy, then Li Daming is also a general. Now that he has fallen for the trick of Tang Tong Li Shimin, it seems that Tang Tong Li Shimin is not as incompetent as the legend. ”

"Now that he has sent troops to the Tianshan Mountains, the three of us brothers must make a good living. lest he possess this mountain of heaven again. Liao Long opened his mouth and said to Liao Hu.

"Why should the eldest brother grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. With the three of us brothers guarding the Tianshan Mountains, even if he comes with millions of male soldiers, he will not want to advance for half a minute. Liao Sangao said with a disdainful face.

"The third child is right, wait for his vanguard to arrive tomorrow. Let me Liaohu go down the mountain and pull off his head, so that they can know how powerful our brother is. Liaohu said with a laugh.
