Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1688 Situation
The Japanese soldiers couldn't believe that Silla had defended the city, and it was so easy to defend the city.

They kept besieging the city below, and in the end thousands of people were killed or injured, but they failed to break through the Wu city, and they didn't even get close.

And if they keep attacking like this, they are afraid that they will slowly die here, right?

After the retreat, Mr. Aso's complexion was not very good.

"How to do how to do?"

He walked back and forth, asking this question non-stop, and there were some other generals standing beside him, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, someone finally stood up: "General, our situation is not particularly bad. In my opinion, the reason why we failed to capture Wucheng may be because our siege tools are not very good. , we might as well catch some people here and ask them how this country attacked the city, and then we get some tools and try again at that time, maybe it will be successful.”

Learning, these Japanese soldiers finally understood a truth, that is, learning makes people progress.

When they encounter difficulties, they will remember to learn.

Taijun Aso never thought they were stupid, and he doesn't think so now. However, he felt that this did not affect their learning about Silla. Of course, they still think that this is Datang.

The Japanese side was not good at attacking the city, and Goguryeo and Baekje also launched an attack on Silla immediately after they came to the border town.

However, Silla's soldiers and horses guarded the city and did not leave the city to fight against it. Although their soldiers and horses were more than Silla's, they were not much more, so it must be nothing for Silla to hold on for a while. questionable.

Silla was attacked on three sides, but the situation was not particularly bad at this time.

Qin Tian had left with his soldiers and horses for more than ten days, and he was still on his way to Liao City.

At this time in Liaocheng, after receiving Qin Tian's order, Xue Rengui quickly assembled [-] soldiers and horses, and after crossing the Liao River, he rushed to the border town of Goguryeo.

The border city of Goguryeo is called Huangcheng, which is one of the largest cities in Goguryeo. When there is no war, relying on the convenience of the Liao River, it develops very flourishingly. The powerful general Hu Weifeng guarded the city, and he also specially mobilized [-] soldiers to guard the city.

After Hu Weifeng learned that Xue Rengui's army had arrived, his eyes narrowed slightly. However, he was not nervous or scared, but rather excited.

"Haha, okay, this general has long wanted to compete with Xue Rengui, the latest rising general of the Tang Dynasty, to see who is more powerful."

Hu Weifeng is a military general who has risen in Goguryeo in recent years. He did not participate in the battle when Datang attacked Goguryeo, so he only heard about Xue Rengui shooting Lin Wuwei blind with an arrow.

As for this matter, he has always regretted it, and he also regarded Xue Rengui as his old enemy. He felt that sooner or later, he would have a life-and-death battle with Xue Rengui.

Now, the arrival of Xue Rengui made him very excited, feeling that the opportunity had finally come.
-
Xue Rengui crossed the Liao River with [-] soldiers and horses, and soon came to Huangcheng.

After they came to Phoenix City, they did not rush to attack, but set up camp outside Phoenix City.

Although they came with soldiers and horses, it was only to put some pressure on Goguryeo.

If Goguryeo is willing to mobilize more soldiers and horses, then the Silla country may be better. Of course, Xue Rengui also knows that his [-] soldiers and horses are of little use. It is basically impossible to transfer some soldiers and horses.

At most, he prevented Goguryeo from continuing to send troops to Silla. Perhaps after Qin Tian came, he could turn the situation around, either forcing Goguryeo to increase troops here, or forcing Goguryeo to withdraw troops from Silla.

Since his arrival was not for the decisive battle, then they didn't need to be too anxious and desperate, they just set up camp outside Phoenix City.

After Tang Jun arrived outside Huangcheng, there was no movement for two days, which made Hu Weifeng a little strange.

"What's the matter, Xue Rengui has brought soldiers and horses here, why didn't he come to attack the city?" Although he intended to fight Xue Rengui to the death, Hu Weifeng also knew the importance of Phoenix City, so he was not absolutely sure, he dared not attack the city. Going out of the city to fight the Tang army, he felt that it would be better to rely on the advantages of the city to weaken the strength of the Tang army first, and then fight against Xue Rengui after the number of troops decreased.

But now Xue Rengui's soldiers and horses have not moved, which makes him a little puzzled.

He glanced at his generals, frowned and asked: "What's the matter, Xue Rengui shouldn't be so timid, right? Or does he have other plans?"

Tang Jun is cunning, and it is normal for Hu Weifeng to think so.

A group of generals looked at each other, and soon, a general of five ranks and three rough stood up. His name was Hu Kuang, he was Hu Weifeng's younger brother, and he was also the top expert in Phoenix City. body.

"Brother, don't care what happened to the Tang army. If they don't come to attack the city, we will go out of the city and destroy them. If my brother is worried, I will go to the Tang army's camp tomorrow to call for an formation. Let's kill their prestige first."

Hu Kuang is rough and has a relatively easy way of doing things. He has always been straightforward. He didn't think so much about why the Tang army didn't come to attack the city.

And after he spoke like this, the others didn't speak again.

Because although this Hu Kuang is only a young general, because his brother is Hu Weifeng, he is quite domineering in the army. Many times, his orders do not allow resistance. Now, he is going to call in front of the Tang army camp. Even if these people have other ideas, they dare not say it, and they can't say it.

Of course, Hu Kuang is willing to fight, and they are also willing to see it. If Hu Kuang loses, they can't help but feel happy.

If they win, it also shows that Tang Jun does not have much ability, and there is no problem for them to fight against him.

After Hu Kuang finished speaking, he looked at his elder brother. Hu Weifeng hesitated for a while, but after a while, he nodded: "Okay, tomorrow you go to fight in front of the Tang army camp, but no matter whether you win or lose, you should turn back immediately after the end. Stay, or you will be dealt with by military law."

Hu Kuang smiled and quickly agreed.

In the Phoenix Army, he can ignore everyone else, and can be domineering and unreasonable in front of others, but in front of his elder brother, he has always been very obedient, and his elder brother asked him to do it. He never refused anything, and he only listened to his elder brother alone.
