Chapter 331: Take the Long Mouth

"Things in the court are really troublesome, but fortunately, I don't have to go to the Taiji Hall every day to go to the court, otherwise I will have to be tortured and crazy." Su Dingfang said with a smile.

"You, that is, the current Tang Dynasty, the current Your Majesty, can make you feel comfortable with troops outside." Liu Renliang smiled helplessly, maybe he remembered something, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

Su Dingfang is quite comfortable with leading troops, but why can't this kind of freedom fall on him?

Liu Renliang remembered the Li Jingxuan who had always liked to go against him, and after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have offended him.

How many battles did Liu Renliang fight with Goguryeo in the past three years with the water division in Liaodong, and Li Jingxuan said how many bad things about Liu Renliang in the court, fortunately, His Majesty Li Er is also clear in his heart, and he is more oriented to Liu Renliang, as for Li Jingxuan's words, just listen to it, don't take it seriously, is it possible that because of Li Jingxuan's opposition alone, the entire war situation in Liaodong has been ruined?

Although Li Jingxuan's opinion is reasonable, it is also weak and powerless under the revenge of His Majesty Li Er and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Liu Renliang is leading troops outside, as for Li Jingxuan in the court, since His Majesty Li Er doesn't pay attention to it, he doesn't have to pay so much attention to it.

Five days later, Yoo In-gang's fleet reached the vicinity of Changkou in Goguryeo, and in the evening, after finding an inconspicuous place, after Su Dingfang's troops disembarked from the ship, Yoo In-gang's fleet turned around and went to Silla, where he picked up Silla and returned to Beisha City by the way.

After the Tang Dynasty Navy Division and the Silla Navy Division jointly deceived the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces, Fang Yiai's stay in Silla would not be of much use, it was better to come back earlier, at least Liaodong was much safer than Silla.

After the war, Baekje will once again set its sights on the land of Silla, and it will be normal for the Samhan Peninsula to be in chaos at that time.

Su Dingfang's army is now only thirty miles away from Changkou, and if he wants to raid Changkou, it is only a day's journey.

The defenders of Changkou were afraid that they couldn't imagine that the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were already about to enter the city, but they didn't know anything.

Su Dingfang's army of 50,000 found a hidden place, rested for a while, and got off the ship, at least for a day before fully recovering its combat capability.

A day later, the 50,000-strong army set out from camp, set off early in the morning, and walked slowly and leisurely along the way to Changkou, which could arrive at Changkou in the early morning of the next day, and immediately prepare to attack the city when it arrived at the city of Changkou.

This is also the reason why Su Dingfang did not let the army rush to the road, in this land, the 50,000 troops must maintain enough physical strength to be able to fight at any time, whether it is to attack the city or deal with various reasons on the road, and slow marching is the best way to save physical strength.

The army of 50,000 people boarded the land of Goguryeo by boat, and it was inconvenient to carry horses, so except for a few generals in the army, the rest of the people were on foot, and there was no cavalry this time, and the role of the cavalry was not great, as long as the long mouth was taken, the matter of the horses naturally had a way to be solved.

They didn't, it didn't mean that there was no Changkou City, it didn't mean that Goguryeo didn't, 50,000 troops attacked Changkou, and then they had to fight to feed the war.

Although Changkou is also a coastal city, it is located in the south of Pyongyang, and the distance between it and Pyongyang City is not to mention closer, it is farther than the territory of Baekje, so Changkou is generally used as a supply point for the Goguryeo sailors, but now the Goguryeo sailors are floating on the sea, Changkou has a garrison here, but there are not many of them, compared to Su Dingfang's 50,000 army is also a drop in the bucket, the only advantage is that they have a city, and Su Dingfang's army does not.

"General, there is a long mouth ahead." The adjutant general beside Su Dingfang said: "We are still two miles away from Changkou now, and if we go further, the guards on the city wall will find us." ”

When Su Dingfang led his troops to Changkou, it was already night, the night was dark, and the army was also advancing in the dark.

It's just that the goal of the 50,000-strong army is too large, and it is close to the city for two miles without being discovered, and I have to say that it is also because there are no war horses in the team, otherwise the sound alone is big enough.

"Well, pass the order, target Changkou City, and when you get to the city, immediately break through the city gate and attack the city!" Su Dingfang said.

"Yes!" After the lieutenant general received the order, he retreated.

On the way here, the army made a lot of siege equipment on the spot, at least there are wooden and chariots or something, and now they have to attack Changkou at night and break the city gate, as long as the defenders of Changkou react and gather to break the city gate, this battle has been won for more than half of the time.

Among them, it is a race against time to see who is one step faster.

For two miles, the army trotted all the way, and in less than two quarters of an hour it was under the city.

The defenders on the wall of Changkou City saw Su Dingfang's army, and their faces were instantly full of astonishment.

"Enemy attack!"

A loud shout reached the city, and the fire on the walls was blazing.

Su Dingfang's army still did not have torches, and with the faint light of the fire shining from the city wall, the army quickly rushed forward, and a group of people began to rush towards the city gate with a rushing cart.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! "The defenders on the city walls began to bend their bows and shoot at the Don troops below.

There were constantly Tang soldiers falling outside the city, and the two teams were holding wooden shields in front of the people pushing the carts, resisting the arrows shot from the city wall for them.

The car entered the city gate hole, it was safe for the time being, the front row of the rear army was holding a wooden shield, and the people behind were hiding behind the shield to avoid arrows, slowly advancing to the front.

The car crashed into the city gate over and over again in the city gate hole.

The defenders in Changkou City are dead behind the city gate, not letting the city gate be knocked open by the rushing car, the Tang army outside is so numerous, once they rush into the city, Changkou will be lost.

Su Dingfang sat on the back of the horse, and he could only see what the situation was in front of him, and the rest could only listen to the sound.

The Tang army did not hold torches, the archers on the city wall could not find the target, and the casualty rate on the Tang army's side would be greatly reduced, which was also the advantage of attacking the city at night.

The continuous efforts of the rushing car in the city gate hole finally knocked the city gate open, and Su Dingfang heard the sound of the city gate being broken, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack towards Changkou City.

The two teams that had pushed the cart before, when their comrades in the rear had not yet attacked, faced countless defenders in the city, and they were weak and suffered heavy casualties.

Soon, the ranks behind pressed up, and the two armies met at the city gates.
