Chapter 1073 - Hunting for the Eagle

"Your Majesty, the tunnels of our army are about to reach under the city walls, but they may be discovered by Gai Suwen at any time, and the minister has decided to launch a feint attack on Liaodong City." In the big tent, Qin Qiong said loudly with a hint of joy on her face.

"Gai Suwen thought that we were going to have a long confrontation with them here, but he didn't know where we would have time to confront him. Even the tallest Liaodong City can't resist our progress. Li Xin laughed when he heard this, looked around and said, "Look at how strong the city wall is, it can't resist the power of explosives." ”

Everyone nodded, and the Tang army encountered relatively strong cities, mostly in this way. Not only can it reduce the casualties of soldiers, but also can achieve the goal of defeating the enemy in the fastest time. The ridiculous Gai Suwen didn't know the Tang Dynasty's offensive methods, and he used the most primitive way to deal with the Tang army, which was undoubtedly the most useless.

"Your Majesty, there are still cavalry cavalry in the city, and the minister thinks that when attacking the city, he still has to worry about these cavalry." Su Dingfang said loudly.

Li Xin nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the various tribes of the grassland will arrive one after another, our goal is very simple, to pile up dirt mountains outside the city, the Yan cavalry can cover up our purpose of digging tunnels, and second, to attract the Yan cavalry out of the city, just under the city, the two sides will fight, see who is more powerful between these Yan cavalry and the cavalry of the Khitan, Murowei and other tribes." ”

Li Xin made up his mind to let many foreign races kill each other, and it was a given thing to pile up the mountains, in history, the Mongols did this every time they attacked the city, of course, the first condition was that the Mongols had strong cavalry, which could protect the soldiers who piled up the mountains. Now Li Xin is the same.

"Your Majesty, General Bae In-gi has captured Pyongyang, and the army will be able to reach Liaodong in half a month." Just when everyone was about to disperse, Ji Gang outside broke in and said loudly with a happy expression. All the generals had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Good, good." Li Xin said: "Send someone to spread the word to the three armies, so that everyone will be happy, and also, order someone to shoot arrows to Liaodong City, so that Gai Suwen will also be happy with us." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Gai Suwen will soon be able to find out, but he won't let the soldiers below know." The eldest grandson Wuji reminded.

"Then hurry up and let the soldiers know that their lair has been taken over by us." Li Xin commanded. There are not many soldiers and horses brought by the Tang Dynasty, and 200,000 people can't besiege Liaodong City at all, and there are still a lot of soldiers and horses in the city. Li Xin received the news here, and Gai Suwen will definitely get the news as well. It's just that this news is bad news for him, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he will definitely not tell the soldiers below.

Changsun Wuji was right, although Li Xin sent troops to intercept and kill the Goguryeo army that came to support Liaodong, but Liaodong also had the cavalry of the Yan Dynasty, and the effect of interception and killing was not obvious.

"Pei Renji's army of 200,000 will arrive at the city of Liaodong in half a month." Gao Zang sat on the throne, his face was gloomy, although the loss of Pyongyang was expected, but the loss so soon still made him, the treasure king who had just ascended the throne, dissatisfied, after the loss of Pyongyang, the next one was Liaodong City, can Liaodong City withstand Li Xin's crazy attack? When an army of 200,000 arrives in Liaodong, it will be able to complete the siege of Liaodong. Liaodong City is a lonely city.

"Looking at Li Xin's appearance, he didn't want to withdraw his troops and return to China at all, he wanted to besiege Liaodong City and destroy Goguryeo's last insistence." Ghost room Fuxin's face was a little depressed, now the general trend is basically gone, although Gai Suwen still has 200,000 troops in his hands, but there is only one Liaodong in his hands, there is a lot of grain and grass in Liaodong Jiancheng, and it can support it for nearly a year, but so what, the morale of the army has fallen to a low point, and it can't change the general trend at all, and Goguryeo will fall sooner or later.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we can only ask for help, the longer we support here, the more likely the other side will be successful, you can tell the generals, just say that we have allied with Tubo, the Tubo army is about to attack Tang Songzhou, and Li Xin's retreat is just around the corner." Gai Suwen thought for a while and said: "Although I have not seen Songtsen Gampo, but from his general Shang Nang and minister Lu Dongzan, it can be seen that Songtsen Gampo is definitely a man of great talent, once our Goguryeo is lost, Li Xin's next target must be him, that is, for this point, Songtsen Gampo must also send a large army to attack Songzhou to relieve the pressure on our side." Gai Suwen was extremely angry in his heart, in fact, he wanted to deal with Li Xin alone, but now he had to ask others to help.

"General, there are sharp arrows from the enemy outside." At this time, there was a captain guarding the city outside who broke in with a panicked face, Gai Suwen looked at the sharp arrow in the captain's hand, and saw that the sharp arrow was tied with a white note, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, when Gai Suwen opened the note, he saw the content on it, his eyes flashed with cold light, and the news that Li Xin had lost Pyongyang was announced, although he had already guessed that there would be such a day, but when it really happened, he still had some panic in his heart. The loss of Pyongyang means that Liaodong will become an isolated city.

"What is Li Xin doing now?" Gai Suwen snorted coldly and said, "Are you still building a city?" ”

"Picking up dirt outside." The captain guarding the city thought for a while, hesitated for a while, and said, "The last general doesn't know what Li Xin wants to do, only that there are many soldiers picking up soil. ”

"Picking dirt? Building a city? Gai Suwen's face suddenly changed, he remembered the new city, wasn't the new city broken through like this? He stood up suddenly, and even the treasure king didn't greet him, so he led the generals out of the city to guard the mansion, Gao Zang was also panicked, and he didn't dare to blame Gai Suwen, and he followed closely behind, rushing towards the city wall, Li Xin made a move again after building the city, and suddenly hit the throat of Liaodong. After the loss of Pyongyang, Li Xin finally freed up his hands to deal with Liaodong.

"It's really building a city." When Gai Suwen went up to the city wall, he found that there were many soldiers picking up soil, tens of thousands of soldiers kept carrying bamboo baskets, and kept piling soil on the ground in front of him, although there was still some distance from the city wall, but Gai Suwen knew that when he arrived, he would not pick up soil, but stand directly on a high place, and pour the soil and stones downward, and those soil and stones were directly piled into a mound, which was not only much faster, but also safer.

"You can't let them go on like this. These people must be destroyed. Onimuro Fushinobu said loudly: "Where is the crossbow, immediately destroy the small mound in front." ”

"It's useless, you see." Gai Suwen looked at the big camp in the distance, only to see that the gate was wide open, and countless cavalry rushed out, firmly guarding the earth mountain, in front of the earth mountain, there were huge shields one after another in front of the mountain, and looking at the light flashing on the shield, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary shield, but a shield made of fine iron.

"So what to do? You can't let Lee Shin get his way! This is how the new city was breached. Takazo said with some concern. Liaodong is his last straw, if Liaodong is lost like this, I am afraid that it is not as simple as imprisonment to greet him, according to what he did in Liaodong, it is certain death.

"I also asked General Agu Lang to take action, lead the cavalry, and attack Li Xin fiercely, even if the whole army is annihilated, it doesn't matter, Li Xin's cavalry is not much, at most sixty or seventy thousand people, if they can kill all these sixty or seventy thousand people, they have no cavalry to escort, and they will definitely not pile up dirt mountains in this place. We still have a chance. Gai Suwen's eyes rolled, this was the only way he could think of it.

"This?" Agu Lang showed a hint of hesitation slightly, he had seen the power of the Tang cavalry, he didn't think that the tens of thousands of people under his command could destroy Li Xin's sixty or seventy thousand cavalry, and attacking at this time was just to send him to death.

"General, at this time, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, if Li Xin captures Liaodong, the next target is your white mountains and black waters, Li Xin will never let you live between the white mountains and black waters, they will definitely drive you out of the mountains and forests and be their slaves." Gai Suvin's face was solemn and he said, "Only if we defeat their cavalry, we will have a chance to survive. General Agulang, I promise you that as long as Li Xin is defeated, you and I will share Liaodong, and the people of the Ya tribe can live wherever they want, and I will recommend the general to the king as the great Lu, how about it? "Gai Suwen also invested in Liaodong, and even gave up the high-ranking official Lu.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll go to meet the Tang cavalry for a while to see if they're really that powerful." Agulang said through gritted teeth. You may lose, but if you win, you will get more benefits.

"Then please general." Gai Suwen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed: "Then wait for the good news from the general." ”

"The king and the general are waiting for the good news of the last general!" Agu Lang laughed, this barbarian living in the mountains and forests, since he had made a decision, the tyrannical aura on his body was revealed.

After half a ring, the city gate opened, and countless cavalry rushed out, these cavalry let out a burst of wild screams, brandished various weapons in their hands, and killed the small earth mountain, they were to sabotage the task of Li Xin's army to pile up the earth mountain.

"Sure enough, it's here, let these Tatar cavalry not go back today." Leading the army was Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, and Li Xuanba, and there were 20,000 cavalry behind him.

"It's really coming out, General Su, we can fight one at a time this time." Li Xuanba's thin body looked at the roaring cavalry, his face was gloomy as water, the last battle could be said to be a shame for Li Xuanba, the elite led by himself was almost surrounded and annihilated by this group of cavalry, if Li Xin sent a large army to rescue, if it was not good, he would even bring himself in.

"General Li doesn't have to worry, we are pressing the formation this time, and the people who are really attacking have not yet come!" Su Dingfang raised the lance in his hand and said casually: "The cavalry is naturally dealt with by others, and this time our army is here to attack inside and outside and eliminate this cavalry in one fell swoop." ”

"There are still people." Li Xuanba's face was stunned, looking at Su Dingfang, but he saw that those Yan cavalry had already killed the hill, the hill looked very high, but in fact it was just a few small mounds, on the mound, dozens of infantry holding large shields, in a circle, under the mound, there were thousands of soldiers who were panicked, shouting loudly, and the voice was terrible.

"Not good." Gai Suwen at the head of the city was about to wonder why Su Dingfang did not go to help, when he suddenly saw smoke and dust in the distance, felt the earth shaking, raised the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and looked over, but saw countless cavalry killed in the distance, in the mirror, these soldiers were wearing all kinds of clothes, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "Quick, Mingjin collects the troops, let the Yan Ya cavalry come back." ”

The pro-soldiers around him were stunned, and hurriedly Mingjin collected his troops, and at this time, the Tang cavalry not far from the city was dispatched, and quickly killed the Liaodong city gate, blocking the Yan cavalry at once.

Agu Lang, who was fighting under the mound, was happy to kill, but found that Su Dingfang led the army to cut off the back road, and when he was surprised, he suddenly found that there was smoke and dust in the distance, and countless soldiers were killed, these soldiers were different from the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but their faces were hideous, and the horses that sat down crashed into the cavalry team like flying, and all kinds of weapons were wielded, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the cavalry was killed on the ground.

Agu Lang's face changed, he finally knew that something was wrong, the Tang cavalry watched himself slaughter thousands of soldiers, but never came to the rescue, but watched himself kill these people, it turned out to be used to drag his own footsteps, and when these cavalry came out, it was really vicious, and even his own robe said to abandon it.

But right now, he didn't have time to say this, he thought about how to break through the defense in front of him and retreat to Liaodong City, he looked around, but saw the cavalry led by Su Dingfang in the distance blocking the city gate, but there were bows and arrows on it, but Su Dingfang's cavalry was out of range, the army was eyeing it, Agu Lang gritted his teeth fiercely, and commanded the army to prepare to break through to the east.

"Kill the past and exterminate the Warriors together. Don't let those thousands of Goguryeo captives die in vain. Su Dingfang looked at the other party's Daxu and changed, and it was clear that he was retreating towards the east, and he knew what Agu Lang was thinking.

Li Xuanba couldn't wait for a long time, and with a long roar, he led the cavalry behind him to rush over, and the Khitan cavalry surrounded the Ya cavalry, in the distance, not far from the east, it was faintly visible that the cavalry of the brigade had killed out, wearing all kinds of clothes, holding all kinds of weapons, and shouting killing shook the sky.

"It's the cavalry of the Murowe and other tribes." Gai Suwen also saw a large group of men and horses coming from the east, his face was gloomy, and he said: "This is a trap, Li Xin is shameless, not only has a large team of men and horses, but also countless foreign cavalry. The people are going to be unlucky. (To be continued.) )
