Chapter 508: The Northeast Incident Heavy losses
In the palace, Li Yuan and Li Er sneered at the letter from the Baiqi Division.
"Tubo Xiao'er has made a lot of money this time and went back, and he should have been killed in the prison as soon as possible." Li Yuan was a little unwilling.
Li Er smiled and persuaded: "Father, now the immortal grain is very important, the lives of a few thieves are just that, Tubo Songtsen Gampo can offer a national treasure to buy him back, which shows the determination to save people, if we really kill them at this time, causing a big war between the two countries, then the immortal grain side will be even more dangerous." ”
"Hey! That is Datang's 100 steel-making technology, let the barbarians learn it, it is not good for Datang. ”
"It doesn't matter, they have 100 steel-making, we still have 1000 steel-making, Jian Zhi's secret has built a steel-making blast furnace, and soon Datang will not lack refined steel, they think that they will be invincible in the world after learning our fur, and when we wait until three years later, we have food in hand, which is the time to collect debts from them." Li Er waved his hand and said arrogantly.
Li Yuan nodded, and said hatefully: "It's time to clean up those collaborators in the DPRK and China, eat and sell the country for money, and leave no one behind." ”
"Father, don't worry, none of the wicked can escape, didn't you also say that you want to leave those alien goods to Cheng Qian and them to clean up? If the opponent is too weak, how can we temper our son? So this is also the reason why we know Lu Dongzan's intention and let it go, everything he takes, we let him take it, everything is under our control, Lu Dongzan? A wise man in the mountains? It's just a joke in front of you and me. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yuan's father and son laughed together.
At that time, after the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Yan discovered the misdeeds of Tubo, Li Yuan and Li Er had been staring at these goods, and they knew about the theft of national craft secrets by the people they contacted from the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, and even the night attack on Zhongnan Academy, and everything was under the control of the two.
It's just that he misjudged the strength of Zhongnan Academy at the beginning, which led to the burning of the library, which made Li Er feel painful when he thought about it.
Just when Chang'an was in full swing for the matter of immortal food, there was a situation in Cheng Yanjin, far away in the northeast, which can be said to be a very serious crisis.
At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty quickly took the five cities of Goguryeo with lightning-like means - Liaodong City, Anshi City, Jian'an City, Jili City, and Beisha City, and occupied the Liaodong Peninsula from then on, putting the blade of the Tang Dynasty on the tip of Goguryeo's nose, but the 100,000 Tang Dynasty troops firmly guarded these five cities, and Goguryeo was unable to recapture them at all.
But now it's different, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Khitan, and Jin Ya have secretly joined forces.
When the Khitan envoys were slaughtered by two hundred guards in Zhongnan Academy, they had already sent a message to the Khitan king that they wanted to fight for revenge, but how dare the Khitan? The military power taken in the Tang Dynasty also replied to reprimand Yelubao who sent an envoy.
Later, after all the envoys were detained by the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan had no choice but to discuss with Goguryeo and Jin Yan to flank the Northeast Army of the Tang Dynasty, so as to capture the prisoners in exchange for the envoys.
The Tang Dynasty guards the Liaodong Peninsula is Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, Cheng Biting Jin guarding Liaodong City, Niu Jinda guarding Beisha City, head and tail echoing each other, for two years has been peaceful, and Cheng Biting Jin goes out hunting from time to time, and goes to Goguryeo to get some specialties, which can be said to be quite arrogant.
On this day, Cheng Yanjin was having a banquet with his subordinates in the Liaodong City Lord's Mansion, but saw a messenger covered in blood rushing in.
"General help!
Beisha City is besieged and precarious, please ask the general to rescue quickly, I am afraid that General Niu will be in danger if it is too late. ”
What the???
Cheng stood up with a bang, and even turned over the table in front of him, and when he saw that it was the first deputy general under Niu Jinda, he knew that it was not good, and shouted angrily: "What's wrong, come quickly." ”
The lieutenant general cried and said: "Three days ago, Goguryeo suddenly mobilized 50,000 troops to surround Beisha City and began to storm the city fiercely.
Who knew that the last general passed by along the way to know that the reinforcements of Jili City were blocked by 30,000 Goguryeo thieves and did not allow them to go south, and even the reinforcements of Jian'an City could not pass, and there were many Goguryeo scouts along the way, and it took three days for the last general to fight to the death.
General, please send troops quickly to rescue General Niu, the enemy is strong, and he must be rushing to break the city. ”
Everyone had already understood, and Cheng Yanjin was no longer verbose, "Come on, take Vice General Hu to rest and repair."
Brothers, how dare Goguryeo thieves? If you dare to offend my Datang, I will, quickly raise 15,000 troops, leave 5,000 to defend the city, and we will go south to rescue Lao Niu.
I believe that it is only three days, and the old cow will definitely be able to hold on, and when the time comes, we will collect soldiers and horses all the way over, and come to the inside and outside, so that the Goguryeo stick can see the military power of the Tang Dynasty.
Quickly went to reorganize the army, and two hours later the army was dispatched. ”
100,000 troops stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula for two years, nothing happened, daily is hunting and training, by the way hoarding grain and grass, two years in each city has a lot of grain and grass, so the army is dispatched, short-term battles, there is no need to worry about transporting grain, as long as the city is not broken, it can be said that Cheng Biting Jin and people will have food wherever they go.
At this time, Niu Jinda was already covered in blood, not his own blood, but the blood of the enemy who rushed to the city head and was spurted by him.
Niu Jinda's name is Niu Xiu, the word Jinda, is a rare fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty, Chinese New Year's Eve is six years old today, brave in battle, has the material of a general, at this time with 20,000 people to defend the city, against the enemy 50,000 people, although it is difficult, but he is confident that it is not a problem to hold for ten days.
"General, the enemy came suddenly this time, and the reinforcements from Jili City and Jian'an City in the north have been delayed, could it be that something happened to Lao Hu?"
The other lieutenant next to him said worriedly while wiping the blood on the knife.
The old Hu in his mouth is the deputy general Hu who went to report the news, it was already night at this time, the two sides were fighting each other, and they were seizing the time to repair, and the Datang side had to pay at least a thousand losses in the offensive and defensive battles every day, and Goguryeo was extremely brave this time, and the soldiers and horses were also elite, so the battle damage was only one to two, and Goguryeo's daily loss was less than three thousand, which made Niu Jinda feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Shaking his head, he said: "The enemy will not ignore the horns of our two cities, someone must have stopped the reinforcements of Jili City, as for Lao Hu, hey!" I hope it's okay, at this time, the big war is together, and reporting to the north is nine deaths.
However, our five cities are connected, even if Lao Hu does not report the past, General Cheng of the north will know the news within five days, so as long as we hold for ten days, there will definitely be a turnaround, telling the brothers that the city is in the people, and the city is broken and the people are dead. ”
Niu Jinda's calculation was right, when the Beisha City guarded to the eighth day, Cheng Yanjin finally arrived with 50,000 reinforcements gathered all the way, and after passing by Jili City, he encountered the 30,000 Goguryeo army that prevented the rescue, and killed the other party without effort, Cheng Yanjin didn't have to think about it, and went straight to Beisha City with his men and horses.
At this time, there were less than 10,000 people at the head of Beisha City, and the more days to go, the greater the daily losses, and when the reinforcements arrived, there were still 6,000 defenders in the city to defend on all sides, and it was the limit to be able to block it for two more days.
Seeing a torrent in the north from a distance, with the word Cheng written on it, Niu Jinda's bloodstained face finally showed a smile, reinforcements, coming!
"Brothers, the reinforcements are coming, go out with the generals, join forces with the outside, and avenge the brothers!"
There is a second chapter today, and a third chapter in the evening.
