Datang Longya

Chapter 612 Strategy
What a blessing to have a generous leader!
"Then, Duke Zi, after we finish transporting the supplies, are we going to deal with Goryeo's navy?"

After seeing Molotov cocktails, Zhang Liang's first reaction was that they needed to deal with the water army of Korea. After all, Molotov cocktails are more powerful in water battles than in land battles.

Leng Feng shook his head: "This time is different. We have a more difficult task. What is the Korean navy? Our task is to take down Cangyan City!"

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng tapped his hand on the table between himself and Zhang Liang.

"Cangyan City? Why is it here?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback. He knew that Cangyan City was one of the strongest cities in Goryeo. Yuangai Suwen once attacked Cangyan City and lost [-] troops before completely taking it down.

Cangyan City is a city between Yuangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a must-have for military strategists.Yuan Gai Suwen's [-] troops were not lost in vain. After taking Cangyan City, even if Tang sent troops to harass him, his troops against Gao Jianwu did not retreat to Cangyan City.

Cangyan City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is like a shield between Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu. Cangyan City cannot be taken down, Gao Jianwu can only be beaten passively, and cannot counterattack Yuan Gai Suwen at all.

Although Zhang Liang has never seen the city that can influence the battle situation of the two corps, he can guess how towering and strong it is.

Take such a city?What are you kidding?
Besides, what about winning Cangyan City? The East China Sea Navy and the Dragon Tooth Army have a total of more than 6000 people. How long can they last under the pressure of Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu?
"Duke Xi, this is an act of courting death! Who came up with this strategy? It's just nonsense! No, it's not the level of nonsense anymore, this is completely trying to kill us both!"

Leng Feng smiled wryly: "When I first heard about this strategy, I also thought it was crazy, but the person who formulated this strategy convinced me!"

The person who formulated this strategy was Li Jing.

Li Jing likes to use surprise soldiers the most. When the entire military and the emperor were studying Goryeo, Li Jing proposed this strategy.

Cangyan City is not only a shield between Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, but also an obstacle between Datang and Gao Jianwu.Moreover, no one thought that Yuan Gai Suwen could withstand the attack of the Tang army.

Cangyan City stands between Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu, the northwest is Yuan Gai Suwen's territory, and the southeast is Gao Jianwu's territory. No matter which direction these two directions are, they are full of troops.

However, there are not many troops in its southwest, all the way to the coastline. As long as they defeat Goryeo's navy, they can drive straight in and reach Cangyan City.

It is true that Cangyan City is not easy to take down, but as long as it is taken down, Yuangai Suwen in the west will lose the escape route in the east, and even be flanked by two sides.

And even if Gao Jianwu could let go of the hatred of so many years of war and unite the front against Datang, his troops would not be able to pass through Cangyan City.

Cangyan City is located at an important traffic road, and if you want to bypass Cangyan City, you have to walk for two more days.Two days may not seem long, but it is enough to change the direction of a war.

The difficult thing now is how to take down Cangyan City, and how to defend Cangyan City after taking it down.

Due to the lessons learned from Goryeo, Li Shimin did not intend to disperse his troops, but planned to crush Yuangai Suwen with pure quantity and quality.Because of this, the important task of taking Cangyan City was assigned to the Dragon Tooth Army.

With 200 people, it is difficult to make big waves in a national war.The defenders of Cangyan City are only about 1 people. To be honest, with the promise of Li Shimin's [-] base gunpowder weapons, Leng Feng doesn't think there is any difficulty in capturing Cangyan City, but the difficulty lies in how to defend it after taking it.

1000 or [-] people guarding a city is a dream, so Leng Feng brought the Donghai Navy over, and changed Li Shimin's "thirty" to "sixty" by the way.

Six times fully armed, it will not be too much of a burden when there is a ship for transportation.With six times the gunpowder weapons, even if Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu attacked, Leng Feng would still dare to sleep well in the city.

Fortified city + gunpowder weapon = invincible!

"Trust me, we can definitely do it this time. If we take [-] steps back, even if we can't defeat Cangyan City, we can still retreat. As long as we retreat to the sea, can the Korean army still swim to attack us?"

Listening to Leng Feng's persuasion, Zhang Liang also felt confident.Regardless of how dangerous this mission is, being in prison and resisting pressure from both sides, as long as you can persist in the end, the credit will definitely be huge, and you will definitely be able to rank among the top three in the credit list.

This kind of credit is enough for him to let him change his job and become the real power of the country!
That's right, although Zhang Liang is "Mr. Xun Guo", but because he is a timid person, he has done several times to escape before the battle. Up to now, he is still guarding several boats with thousands of people, eating and waiting to die The false power of the country.

If he hadn't gritted his teeth and resisted countless tortures to keep Li Shimin's secrets, he would have been called a marquis or even an earl during the "court weight loss" in the early years of Zhenguan.

This time, the Goryeo War made him smell like a rising star, and it just so happened that he was selected by the Duke of Jin to participate in the Goryeo War as a deputy.

Zhang Liang felt that perhaps this was the only chance for him to stand up!

"Fight it! Gong Gong, thank you for thinking highly of me and choosing me as your deputy. I will do this life-threatening mission with you!"

Leng Feng smiled slightly, and said: "It's good if you have confidence, gather your fleet and hire civilian ships to transport supplies to Chang'an first."

Zhang Liang asked puzzledly: "Duke Xi, didn't you say that you will attack Korea after the beginning of spring next year? Why are we preparing supplies now?"

Leng Feng was very helpless, could he say that he really looked down on the broken ships of the East China Sea Fleet?Just looking at the boat that Zhang Liang took back to Beijing, one can know that the boat of the East China Sea Navy is definitely a river boat after a little modification and entered the sea.

Such a ship is not even comparable to some maritime merchants' ships, so why should it bear the name of "warship"?

To be honest, Leng Feng was afraid that such a ship would leak and sink by itself if it was not shot by the Koreans during the retreat.

It just so happened that the shipyard at Feng An in Lingnan built the second batch of seagoing ships, so Leng Feng asked Li Shimin to pay for them and built a new shipyard in Dengzhou.

After the gunpowder weapons and military weapons are transported to Dengzhou, it is only reasonable to start modifying those sea-going ships first.

"Don't ask if it's superfluous, and let your subordinates act quickly. Oh, yes, because you also want to participate in the defense of the city, your subordinates will come to Chang'an in batches, and I will let the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army teach them. How to use gunpowder weapons, you don’t need to shoot arrows, you just need to know how to ignite and shoot.”
