Chapter 1080: Liaodong City Broken

"There are also titles below the marquis that can also be rewarded, or a few miles." Li Xin said again. Wantonly sealing the title is very unfavorable to the imperial court, but if it is divided by land, it will be different, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is too big, in this place where transportation and information are backward, the larger the place, it is not necessarily good for the dynasty, like the Yuan Dynasty in later generations, the territory is so big, but in the end, it will not fall apart quickly? As long as Datang controls the Central Plains, it's fine, and as for the future, it's not a matter for Li Xin to consider.

The eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to slack off, he knew that this was an opportunity to lift the morale of the army, and immediately quickly passed Li Xin's holy decree to the three armies, and the three armies were shaken, these soldiers and princes may not have to think about it, if they want to reach that step, it is not a war that can be done, but other titles are possible, with a fief, it is equivalent to having a heritage, and it is still possible to become a strong family.

Especially those soldiers with relatively low status, they used to be cannon fodder, and they were the existence of a cold family, unlike those soldiers, although they are poor people, they can improve their status by studying, and there is no other opportunity to get rid of meritorious service when they are soldiers. Now the opportunity has finally come, you can be knighted, you can get the land, and pass it on to future generations, for a while, in the camp, cheers resounded in the sky, and there were shouts of long live everywhere.

"With this soldier, am I still afraid of those big families?" Li Xin pointed to the soldier in front of him indifferently and said to the eldest grandson Wuji beside him.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded when he heard this, and had to admit that what Li Xin said made sense, it was true at any time, Li Xin's favorite thing was to master the army, with the army in hand, the so-called family was just a group of paper tigers. Only Li Xin can do such a thing, and no other emperor will handle state affairs so wildly and rudely.

Of course, Yang Guang also did this, but unfortunately his army was not in his own hands, but in the hands of the family, so this also determined that Yang Guang's calculations failed in the end, and he even lost the Jiangshan Empire.

At present, as long as Liaodong City is captured, the Tang Dynasty can be as stable as Mount Tai, and as for the small Tubo, there is no ability to shake the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Wuji looked at the Liaodong city wall not far away, and faintly saw that there were many soldiers on it, looking at the Tang military camp cautiously, Changsun Wuji shook his head, a city that was about to be breached, and he didn't want to surrender until now, was it forcing the Tang army to bloody Liaodong? I heard that there are still thousands of troops from the previous dynasty in the city, and I don't know what is happening now.

The night came, but the camp of the Tang Dynasty was brightly lit, countless soldiers were getting ready to go, and the tunnel was finally opened, and it was not a tunnel, but two tunnels, not far apart, directly under the city of Liaodong, and the four coffins were carried into the tunnel, and a long lead has been involved.

"Liaodong City belongs to you tonight." Li Xin was dressed in military uniform, looking at the tall city wall in the distance, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, the result of the annihilation of the Yan cavalry at the beginning hit Gai Suwen's confidence, so that Gai Suwen had no intention of doing anything in the army, and even the generals in the city were the same, but he never thought that Li Xin had no intention at all, using Tushan to attack. It's in a more brutal way.

Liaodong City is still as tall and strong as ever, but the guards in the city know that the morale of the army has dropped to a low point, and the soldiers all know that the loss of Liaodong is a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

However, at present, this situation is difficult to change if you want to, and looking at the mountains outside is getting higher and higher, it means that the enemy's time to attack is getting faster and faster, and he will attack Liaodong City at any time.

"Look, the Tang Army's camp is brightly lit, it won't be preparing to attack us tonight!" On the city wall, a soldier touched the robe next to him and asked.

"Probably not! Who will attack Liaodong City at night? No matter how weak our strength is, Datang has not been rampant to this extent! A soldier next to him said disdainfully. Attacking the city at night, no army would be so rampant.

"No, look, what's that?" The soldier who spoke just now was about to nod, suddenly looked into the distance, and said nervously: "It seems that a large group of men and horses have come to kill, and the Tang army is really going to attack us, it is really bold, fast, beat the drums, the enemy is coming." As he spoke, he quickly pushed his comrades-in-arms beside him.

For a while, there was chaos on the city wall, the Goguryeo soldiers ran around, the drums sounded, and the entire Liaodong City was alarmed, Gaozang got up from the bed at once, even Gai Suwen was also awakened by his subordinates, and hurriedly put on his armor and rushed out, it was the first time that the Tang army launched an attack on Liaodong City at night, and the risk of this could be guessed by anyone. Gai Suwen didn't dare to slack off.

When everyone went up to the city wall, they saw that the soldiers under the city wall had lined up and stood there quietly, as if it were a tree stump, although there was no sound, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and people's hearts were heavy, as if there was a mountain pressing on it, and they could not speak.

"What's going on? Li Xin is so late, what do you want to do? Gai Suwen was full of alcohol, looking at the army in the distance, his face gloomy.

"No one knows." Gao Zang glared at Gai Suwen dissatisfied, as a chief general, appearing in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies with such an appearance will undoubtedly be a great blow to the morale of the army. It's just that at this time, even if Gao Zang has the heart to reprimand, he still gives up after thinking about it.

"Be careful, if you want to attack at night, it's just looking for death, and you really think that my Goguryeo soldiers can't do it?" Gai Suwen also felt that there was something wrong with his appearance, but in the face of the enemy's attack, he could only suppress the irritability in his heart, and he looked at the army in the distance, feeling a little uneasy. But I don't know where this uneasiness comes from.

"What did the general find? How does it feel wrong? Jiang Yishi approached Gai Suwen and said: "The enemy is so quietly still, can he attack the city?" I'm afraid there are other plans! ”

"Where do you think the calculations are?" Gai Suwen nodded, with some regret in his heart, if he didn't care about things during this time, at least he could vaguely know what the enemy was calculating, he looked around carefully, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but say: "Quick, hurry up and be careful, Li Xin wants to attack through the tunnel." ”

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the earth shook, Liaodong City trembled, and Gai Suwen's mouth was open.
