Datang Longya

Chapter 633 Jincheng
Leng Feng interjected: "Since that's the case, then Xue Rengui, why don't you follow Tang Jin to act together, guerrilla generals are very suitable to fight guerrillas."

As one of Tang Jin's teachers, Leng Feng naturally knew Tang Jin's plan, which was nothing more than guerrilla warfare. If 5000 people want to make a difference in Koryo, they can't go head-to-head at all, they can only avoid the important ones.

Xue Rengui couldn't help looking at the emperor, saying that he was looking forward to fighting with Tang Jin, and it must be very interesting.

Li Shimin thought for a while before saying: "Yes, but you have to wait until the Jincheng is captured."

Jincheng is the last big city between the border of Koryo and the hinterland. Although Yincheng is as famous as Jincheng, it is not comparable to Jincheng in terms of geographical location or city walls.

If Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to resist Tang Jun's footsteps, Jincheng was his last chance.

Xue Rengui naturally took the order.Jincheng is the last battle, and it is also his last chance to make great achievements.

After Tang Jin and Xue Rengui went out, Li Shimin asked Leng Feng: "Do you think it's appropriate to give Tang Jin 5000 people?"

"Not suitable."

Leng Feng said without hesitation: "If you want to exert the effect of 5000 people, it is best to equip him with light cavalry. Only when they have enough mobility can they exert their effect."

Li Shimin nodded, he also thought of this, and asked Leng Feng to confirm.After all, he didn't know Tang Jin's plan either.

After two days of repairing at Bibi Pass, Li Shimin continued to lead his army forward and approached Jincheng.In the face of absolute power, there is no need for Li Jing's sudden change.

Let the city be strong and crowded, and I will bring down ten benefits by myself.

The army marched two miles in front of Jincheng and began to station.

The first few cities have suffered a lot, and even the grand pass like Zhubi Pass cannot resist the power of gunpowder weapons.Jincheng, of course, can't do it either.

Looking at the heightened city wall, the densely packed trebuchets behind the city wall, and the wood used to assemble the trebuchets, Leng Feng said, "Yuan Gai Suwen has figured it out. To deal with gunpowder weapons, the only way to deal with gunpowder weapons is to face them head-on. It's useless to shrink into a tortoise shell. "

With weapons such as trebuchets, Goryeo and Datang could still fight for a while in exchange for some casualties. If they just retreated and defended, they could only be beaten.

Li Shimin put away the binoculars and said with a smile: "It's considered that the Koreans have a bit of courage, but they prepared so much wood to prevent the catapult from being destroyed. Didn't they think that they would kill themselves?"

All the generals also laughed.

When they see wood, the first thing they think of is fire.

And setting fire, what else is more suitable than incendiary bombs?

"Order Su Dingfang to lead [-] soldiers around the back, the left wing Wei Chigong to lead [-], and the right wing Cheng Yaojin to lead [-]. I want to take Jincheng completely. I hope that Yuan Gai Suwen will be among them!"

When the strength is sufficient, there is no need to follow the siege method of encircling the city, just a fire, and they can be forced to run out.

After the [-] troops started to move, Li Shimin arranged for the military supply battalion to prepare incendiary bombs.

Just when the soldiers were nervously preparing to attack the city, a hanging basket suddenly appeared on the city wall, and a soldier fell to the ground along the rope.

Is this going to be a conversation?
Li Shimin told the archers not to attack, but to wait for him to approach.

After the inspection, the soldier walked up to Li Shimin wearing only his underwear, and asked, "Are you the emperor of Tang?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, why, are you planning to surrender?"

The soldier shook his head again and again: "We don't intend to surrender."

Li Ji lashed the chariot with a whip: "Then why are you here!"

Li Shimin glared at Li Ji: "Shut up."

Li Ji quickly shut up.

The soldier was terrified by Li Ji, and he said after a long time, "Your Majesty, the general ordered me to ask you, is General Gao Huizhen dead?"

Gao Huizhen died under a sniper rifle, and the soldiers stationed at Bibiguan were all fleeing, so no one paid attention to his fall.When they arrived in Jincheng, Gao Huizhen was nowhere to be found in the whole army.

Therefore, Gao Yanshou suspected that Gao Huizhen might have died in the hands of Tang Jun.

There is nothing to hide, Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right, his head has been sealed by me."

Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly said: "Then, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, can we exchange for General Gao Huizhen's body? Our general is willing to pay a price that satisfies you."

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are both generals under Yuan Gai Suwen. Although they usually work independently and even quarrel occasionally, at this time, it is Gao Yanshou's bounden duty to redeem Gao Huizhen's body.

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Your Jincheng is at stake, you still have time to think about this? You go back, Gao Huizhen's head, I want to bring it back to Chang'an to worship the ancestral temple, it is impossible to exchange it!"

Not only did he want Gao Hui's real head, but he also wanted Gao Yanshou's head!

The soldier trembled and said: "Then, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, can we allow us to send the people who came from the station out of the city? The people are innocent."

Because Tang Jun came too fast, Jincheng has not arranged for the transfer of the people.

Tang Jun's gunpowder weapons were too fierce, and it was easy to accidentally injure civilians.

The people of Goryeo are innocent, what's more, if too many people are killed, what is the use of the land of Goryeo alone?Collecting its land and reorganizing its people is the biggest gain that can be obtained in a war.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, I allow you to let the people go, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not stop them, nor will they attack the city."

A guarantee made by an emperor himself is still credible.After the soldiers surrendered to Li Shimin, they returned to Jincheng.

At least one of the two things he came to negotiate this time has been completed.

On the other side of the city wall, hanging baskets began to send the people out of the city continuously. With Li Shimin's order, the army led by Su Dingfang did not stop the people from leaving.

After all the hanging baskets were retracted, Su Dingang ordered the soldiers to encircle them, blocking all the retreat routes of the soldiers in the city.

Surrounded on all sides, this is a bloody battle.

Because the Goryeo soldiers had no retreat when they were stationed at the pass.

Li Shimin drew out the Son of Heaven Sword: "Attack!"

Following his order, a total of six hot air balloons flew up and drifted towards the city.

The hot air balloon was filled with incendiary bombs. Li Shimin originally planned to send the hot air balloons to burn down the granaries of the Korean army.

However, under Yuan Gai Suwen's strategy of clearing the walls and clearing the wilderness, all the food and grass have been transported away since they were stationed in Biguan, and the Molotov cocktails are useless.

But now, in order to deal with the gunpowder weapons of the Tang army, Jincheng has prepared a large number of trebuchets and wood for making trebuchets.He made up his mind to use the trebuchet as much as possible in exchange for the casualties of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
