Body 430 Defend the city

Gao Zang listened to the conversation between the Tang Emperor and the crown prince, and found for the first time that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty did not seem to be as he thought, how could the father and son still have affection? Could it be that the life of the royal family has been detached from deceit and turned into a world of warmth?

But anyway, Gozang also heard that he, the king of Goguryeo, might not be able to do it for long, and now that even the Tang army immediately made a plan to retreat after hearing that the Silla and Baekje coalition forces were going to attack Liujing, so should he advance and retreat with them? Hold on to the powerful country of Datang, and then try to plan after withdrawing?

And in his thoughts, he forgot that all this was caused by himself, and it was his own beauty trick and his own bitter request that made the Tang Emperor agree to send troops overnight yesterday.

Li Hong looked at Li Zhi and smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said: "Father, no matter whether Silla and Baekje are 70,000 or 170,000, when you are about to face their siege, you should not stay here, and the retainers will naturally retreat, the retainers will cover your retreat first, and then retreat with Gaozang and others. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to advance and retreat together with you, and the ministers are willing to withdraw from Liujing immediately with Your Majesty." Gao Zang didn't wait for Li Zhi to speak, he actually stood up and saluted, and couldn't wait to say.

"Get out." Li Hong turned around and kicked Goguryeo King Gozang to the ground, glaring angrily: "If you hadn't asked my father to send troops, why would you be so far?" Do you still have the face to say that you are advancing and retreating together? If you dare to talk nonsense, I should be the first to send you out to the Silla and Baekje coalition forces! ”

Gozang is not a competent king of Goguryeo, it can even be said to be a straw bag, and the reason why he was able to sit on the throne was because Quangaisu fought for the throne and stood on his side, so he became the king of Goguryeo.

I don't have other skills, but I can do something that I like and do something that I like, but I can catch it, so in my lifetime, Quan Gaisu was co-opted to support Gao Zang, which is the most proud thing in Gao Zang's life.

The status of the Izumi Gaesu family in Goguryeo was equivalent to that of the royal family, and with the support of Izumi Gaesu, there was no need for Gozang to worry about the basic domestic affairs, as long as he sat in the palace and drank and had fun.

And with the death of Izumi Gaisu, Izumi Gaisu's three sons began to fight, Izumi Nansan and Izumi Nanjian fought to take the boss Izumi boy, and after taking control of the government, Gaozang also continued to live his life of a dog and horse, but the war between Silla and Baekje had to let Izumi Nanchan lead the army to fight, leaving Gaozang to defend the royal city by himself.

In the plan of Quannan's production and Quannanjian, since Anshi City was able to block Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty back then, then it was natural to stop the current emperor, so they were relieved to leave Gaozang to guard the royal city by themselves.

And Izumi Nanjian and Izumi Nansan, after getting the news of the destruction of the royal city of Liujing, were anxious and wanted to fly back to Liujing, but the offensive of Silla and Baekje was still fierce, and it was difficult for them to get out for a while, but they were forced to retreat by Silla and Baekje in the war.

This also gave Silla and Baekje, after taking the initiative to fight against Izumi Nanjian and Izumi Nansan, to divide their forces and attack the Goguryeo royal city of Liujing.

Therefore, no matter how much Li Hong was able to anticipate the enemy like a god, he could not make the most accurate prediction of the battle on the Goguryeo front, and he naturally did not know that the combined forces of Silla and Baekje were about to reach the outside of Liujing at this time.

Hua Meng and Cheetah ran in at the same time, followed by Wei Tuqi, who was guarded by the prince, although the three of them looked calm, there was a solemnity between their eyebrows.

"Say." Li Hong no longer looked at Gao Zang, who was kicked to the ground by him and didn't dare to get up, and said with his back to Hua Meng and the others.

"Your Highness, all those fine works have been caught." Hua Meng saluted and said.

Li Hong slowly turned around, looked at the three of them and said, "This is good news, but what about you, Cheetah?" What's the news for me? ”

Li Hongzui asked easily, but he was nervously praying in his heart, but it was really the news that the Silla and Baekje coalition forces would soon arrive outside the city.

But God doesn't want it, sometimes things are so ingenious, the more you don't want to run into a situation, it's often the easiest thing to happen.

"Back to Your Highness, within half an hour, the army of the Silla and Baekje coalition will reach the castle, and the advance force will arrive sooner." The cheetah was sweating profusely, apparently not far from the city, and detected the movements of the Silla and Baekje coalition forces.

"How many people are there?"

"Not less than seventy thousand, it should be around one hundred thousand." Cheetah thought about it, but decided to say the most accurate number.

Li Zhi, who was behind him, was still shocked when he heard Hua Meng's report, and his face became ugly, the 100,000 Silla and Baekje coalition troops, it was far from enough to defend the city with the strength of 20,000 people in Liujing City.

But if Yoo In-rail and Yoo In-in are here, it's a different matter, and even if the two of them are here, they can counterattack the Silla and Baekje coalition forces and annihilate them all under Yookyungseong, but...... Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan were sent by himself to reinforce Goguryeo.

Li Zhi really didn't want to retreat to Humiliation City, standing in his position, since he sent Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan, then he needed to be responsible for Liu Jing's safety, and even the reason why he didn't want to leave was that he still didn't want to believe that Li Hong's judgment was right before this.

But now, hearing Hua Meng's powerful words, his face became difficult to look at in an instant, he didn't listen to Li Hong's opinion, he was arrogant, and he had to act alone to discourage the public, which caused the current situation.

Li Hong's back was very calm, at least in Li Zhi's eyes, after hearing the news of Hua Meng, he felt that Li Hong seemed to be relaxed, and the terrifying power of his body disappeared.

"Then hold on, and try to hold the city before Qi He Li and Li Jinxing arrive. From now on, the young and strong laborers of Yooseong City will be under your command, and the first wave of siege of Silla and Baekje will depend on them to defend it. Li Hong said lightly.

The first wave of siege has always been full of morale of the enemy army, and defending the city with the weak combat strength of the people of Yooseong City can at least create an illusion that the combined forces of Silla and Baekje are vulnerable to attack.

Moreover, it can also allow the army of Datang to avoid the first round of the enemy's edge, and can also clearly see the advantages and weaknesses of the Silla and Baekje coalition forces, see how their combat effectiveness is, and make complete preparations for the next second and third waves of real defense of the city.

He naturally thought about whether the enemy army would try their best to attack the city in the first wave, but it was unlikely that this would happen.

He had just interrogated those Silla and Baekje shackles, and judging from their reactions and the other shackles that Hwa-Meng had caught, he had not been deceived by them.

Therefore, the speed of the march of the combined forces of Silla and Baekje exceeded the estimated time of Hosaku to reach the city of Yoojo City, which can only indicate that it is very likely that their scouts discovered Yoo In-rail and Yoo In-gang troops who were willing to leave the city last night, so they had already begun to speed up here with all their strength before receiving the news of Hosaku sent to Yookyo City.

Then the Silla and Baekje coalition forces outside Ryujing City marched overnight, and after a long and rapid march, they would definitely not go all out in the first wave of siege, after all, they were on an expedition at this time, and it was impossible for them to attack the city without letting the troops rest and recuperate.

But no matter what, anyway, things are already like this, and it's not a bad thing, I can order Qi Bi He Li and Li Jinxing to speed up the march, as long as they hold on for one to two days, it is enough to wait for reinforcements.

After Wei Tuqi heard Li Hong's order, he immediately went out to urge those Goguryeo soldiers to defend the city, and if the city is defended, it is naturally necessary to supervise the army, and it is impossible to really only let those people defend the city, Jin Wuwei must now supervise the battle behind the Goguryeo people as a prison army, and even in order to prevent the people from being scattered by one blow, Jin Wuwei needs to stand behind the Goguryeo people to help defend the city anyway.

"Father, the son-in-law requests to transfer the ...... of Jin Wuwei."

"From now on, Jin Wuwei has full authority under your command, and any orders do not need to be performed in me, and the crown prince can act with full authority." Li Zhi was hit hard, but he also knew that this was not the time to care about those wrong decisions, what he could do at this time was to let Li Hong have full authority to deal with it, and first defend Liujing City.

Although he said that, at this moment, Li Zhi's heart was about to regret that if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have been the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he would have been besieged by the two small countries of Silla and Baekje!

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, two Tang generals walked out of the gate of the palace quickly, and it was General Jin Wuwei who followed Li Zhi to protect the emperor's safety this time.

"The last general, Jin Wuwei, the left general Liu Xiang, and the right general Xiong Qu have seen His Royal Highness." The two of them have their backs on their backs, and at a glance, they know that these are battle-hardened warriors.

"Liu Xiang led 5,000 gold guards to guard the palace, especially the courtiers of Goguryeo, whoever dares to make a move, will be imprisoned immediately, if there are those who do not obey the order or disturb the order of the palace and the morale of the army, they can be cut off first." Li Hong's eyes slowly moved from the bodies of the two Jin Wuwei generals to the bodies of Gao Zang and the other Goguryeo courtiers, and said warningly.

"Yes, the last will obey."

"The right general Xiong Qu, immediately summon the rest of the Jin Wuwei to patrol the city walls of all sides, and those who misbehave will be killed! There are those who evade the city defense, and there is no forgiveness for killing! Li Hong coldly ordered.

If the courtiers and people of Goguryeo are not suppressed by ruthless military methods, when the combined forces of Silla and Baekje attack the city, I am afraid that the people on the city wall will be able to flee more than half of them in the face of the shouting and killing posture.
