Datang Longya

Chapter 624 The Official Battle

Li Shimin has already arrived in Shengzhou.

In the past, the soldiers and horses were not moved, and the food and grass went first, but now it has become that the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the money is paid first.Long before Chang'an dispatched troops, the bank sent the money to Zhang Jian, and Zhang Jian was responsible for raising food on the spot.

By the time the emperor arrived, Zhang Jian had raised enough food and grass to support an army of 20 for a year.

Yes, that is 20.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once claimed to have an army of one million, but in fact it was only more than 30 troops. Li Shimin did not call in all the troops of the Tang Dynasty. In his opinion, an army of 20 was enough to crush Goryeo!

After getting out of the carriage, Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Jian who was kneeling on one knee, and then asked, "Is there any change on the border of Koryo? Is there any news from Duke Xi?"

Zhang Jian replied: "Your Majesty, Yuan Gai Suwen didn't notice the gathering of our troops, but mobilized a lot of troops to go south, it seems to be to attack Cangyan City. A message came from Duke Yan the day before yesterday, saying."

"What did he say?"

Li Shimin, who returned to the battlefield, seemed to be exuding coercion all over his body, which made Zhang Jian feel very uncomfortable.

"Duke Xi said that he had no fun in Cangyan City in the past when he asked the minister to give him some gambling equipment."

In Zhang Jian's view, this request is simply absurd. Cangyan City is located between the two forces of Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu. Duke Yan doesn't think about self-defense, but also wants to gamble. It's nothing.

"Gambling? Hehe, he is quite laid back."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, but he was not angry. The Duke of the Kingdom of Jin wanted gambling tools, but he was actually sending a message: Cangyan City was too difficult to attack, neither Gao Jianwu nor Yuan Gai Suwen had the guts to attack it.

"He wants gambling equipment, so send them to him, and send them some supplies by the way, and order Su Dingfang and others to come to command the tent. Although we have supplies to keep out the cold, we must strive to end the large-scale battle before the bitter cold in Liaodong. "

The night was full of dreams, Li Shimin decided to use the most violent way to break all the resistance of Goryeo, and declared to the world the strength of Datang with an invincible gesture.

Everything, let's start from the Baishi City in front of you!

The emperor's personal conquest, so the commander-in-chief is naturally the emperor, and Li Jing and others are just references when formulating strategies, so no one has any opinions on the emperor's strategy.

Early the next morning, Datang's army left Shengzhou in a mighty way, scattered the front lines, and fought separately.There are three cities on the border of Koryo: Baishi City, Songlin City, and Wolong City. (made up)

Li Shimin chose Baishi City in the middle, and allocated the other two cities to Li Jing and others.

The three-way army advanced aggressively towards Korea, and the hearts of the Korean spies along the way were about to explode!

As early as a few months ago, Datang banned all Korean merchants from entering the country, and also banned all Datang merchants from leaving the country. On the surface, they said that they wanted to cut off trade with Korea and punish Yuan Gai Suwen and Gao Jianwu for their disrespect.

No one paid any attention to this matter.The monarch of the Tang Kingdom was so violent that he might lift the ban in a few days.

However, no one expected that when the gates of the city, which had been closed for several months, opened, what poured out were not businessmen who were blind to money, but countless troops!
Tang Guo is about to attack Goryeo!
Li Shimin did not ride a chariot, but rode a horse.He also didn't wear the golden battle armor that was flamboyant, but only wore a set of black armor presented by Zhangsun Wuji.

Although he was riding a horse, the protection around him was still strong. Generals who were not assigned tasks, such as Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, surrounded him.Both the guards and these generals put their knives into their sheaths and held a huge shield.

These shields were designed by Gongshu's family, and were jointly forged by Jing Leisi and the military supervisor. As long as the person holding the shield is strong enough, even the arrows of the eight-ox crossbow cannot penetrate the shield.These shields can also be assembled together when necessary.Theoretically speaking, even the aftermath of a land-level thunder and explosion hundreds of meters away, it can't do anything to get it.

The army didn't hide at all, it just marched forward in an upright manner.So when Li Shimin led the team to arrive at the first three miles of Baishi City, what they saw was Baishi City, which was on guard and closed its gates.

Looking at the white stone city wall made of white stone and glutinous rice, Li Shimin's eyes were full of disdain: "Zhang Jian, I will give you a ground-level thunderbolt, you send someone to blow up their city wall!"

After speaking, Li Shimin gave Zhang Jian a token.

Zhang Jian caught the token, dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "No!"

For an emperor who is like a commander in chief, Zhang Jian knows that his majesty the emperor must be more willing to listen to the reply of "nuo" rather than "obey the order".

Sure enough, Li Shimin smiled happily when he heard how Zhang Jian's army took orders. The conquest of Goryeo may be his last chance to go to the battlefield in this life!

After Zhang Jian took the order, he went to the military supply camp to get a ground-level thunder with his token, and handed it to his subordinate Tang Jin.

Although Tang Jin is a talent that the military secretly wants to cultivate, talents need to be tempered. Only by giving him the most difficult tasks can he make his achievements faster.

And right now, with the emperor here, this is even more of an opportunity!

Tang Jin's hands trembled when he got the ground-level thunder. He was able to appear at the forefront of the battlefield. It was an opportunity arranged by the Lord of the Kingdom of Yan for him. Now, this opportunity has appeared!
He is not opposed to someone helping him, but under this premise, the credit must be obtained by his own efforts!
The earth-level thunder was very heavy, so Tang Jin didn't carry it on his back, but put it on the horse's back.These years of battlefield and training allowed him to perfectly combine riding skills and marksmanship.

Driving forward, he led his team to charge towards Baishi City.

This team is a team he trained himself after imitating the Dragon Tooth Army. Although there are only more than 30 people, with these 30 people, he even dares to challenge the team of 500 people.

Seeing that there were only more than 30 people charging, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Zhang Jian: "Marquis Liancheng, you just sent more than 30 people, don't you think it's a joke?"

Zhang Jian replied: "Your Majesty, this team is modeled after the Dragon Tooth Army of the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin. The leader of the team is Duke Jin's favorite student Tang Jin. I feel that it is enough to dispatch them."

"Tang Jin?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and then remembered the young man who had accompanied him to fight tigers. Time passed so quickly. Has the young man who was trembling with a wooden club already gone to the battlefield?
Picking up the binoculars, Li Shimin began to adjust helplessly.

The telescope in his hand was made by Yan Liben. Although it can also achieve the telescopic effect, it is far from Leng Feng's in terms of operation and clarity.

The most disgusting thing is that it is prone to reflections, and every time it changes distance, it needs a lot of correction.
