The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1195

"Things in the court hall are really troublesome. Fortunately, I don't have to go to the Taiji Hall every day, otherwise I will be tortured crazy." Su Dingfang laughed.

"You, that is, the current Tang Dynasty, the present-day His Majesty, can make you feel comfortable leading troops outside." Liu Rengui smiled helplessly, perhaps remembering something, the smile on his face slowly faded away. Disappeared, he sighed secretly in his heart.

Su Dingfang is quite comfortable leading troops, but why doesn't this kind of freedom fall on him?

Liu Rengui thought of Li Jingxuan who always liked to sing against him in the court, and when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have offended him.

How many battles did Liu Rengui fight against Goguryeo in the past three years when he led the navy in Liaodong? Li Jingxuan said a lot of bad things about Liu Rengui in the court. Well, don't take it seriously, could it be that the entire battle in Liaodong was ruined because of Li Jingxuan's opposition?

Although Li Jingxuan's opinion was reasonable, it seemed weak and powerless under the vengeful heart of His Majesty Li Er and Manchu Wenwu.

Liu Rengui was leading troops outside. As for Li Jingxuan in court, since His Majesty Li Er ignored him, he didn't have to worry about it.

Five days later, Liu Rengui's fleet arrived near the Changkou of Goguryeo. At night, they found an inconspicuous place. After Su Dingfang's army got off the ship, Liu Rengui's fleet turned around and headed for Silla. Fang Yiai takes her back to Beisha City.

After the Datang Navy and the Silla Navy jointly deceived the Goguryeo and Baekje allied forces, Fang Yiai's stay in Silla was of little use. It would be better to come back earlier, at least Liaodong is much safer than Silla.

With the war together, Baekje will once again focus on the land of Silla, and the Samhan Peninsula will still be in chaos by then, which is the norm.

Su Dingfang's army is now only thirty miles away from Changkou, and it only takes a day's journey to raid Changkou.

The long-mouthed defenders might not have imagined that Datang's [-] soldiers and horses were about to approach the city, but they didn't know anything.

Su Dingfang's [-] troops found a hidden place, took a temporary rest, and disembarked from the ship. They must rest for at least one day before they can fully recover their combat capabilities.

A day later, the [-] troops broke out of camp and set off. They set off early in the morning and walked slowly towards Changkou along the way. They would arrive at Changkou about the next morning, and when they arrived at the city of Changkou, they would be ready to attack the city immediately.

This is also the reason why Su Dingfang didn't let the army rush. On this land, the [-] army must maintain enough physical strength to be able to fight at any time, whether it is attacking the city or dealing with various reasons on the road, and slowly Marching is the best way to save energy.

The [-] army landed on the land of Goguryeo by boat, and it was inconvenient to carry horses. Therefore, except for a few generals in the army, the rest of the people walked. There were no cavalry this time, and the role of cavalry was also important in the siege of the city. Not much, as long as the long mouth is taken down, the matter of the horses will naturally be solved.

They don't have it, it doesn't mean there isn't one in Changkou City, and it doesn't mean there isn't one in Goguryeo. A [-] army attacked Changkou, and after that, it will be supported by war.

Although Changkou is also a coastal city, it is located in the south of Pyongyang City, not to mention closer to Pyongyang City, and farther than the territory of Baekje. Therefore, Changkou is generally used as a Goguryeo city. The supply point of the navy, but now the navy of Goguryeo is floating on the sea. There are garrisons at Changkou, but the number is not large. Compared with Su Dingfang's [-] army, it is nothing. A city, but Su Dingfang's army did not.

"General, Changkou is ahead." The lieutenant beside Su Dingfang said, "We are still two miles away from Changkou. If we go any further, the guards on the city wall will spot us."

It was already night when Su Dingfang led his troops to Changkou, the night was pitch black, and the army was advancing in the dark. Only in this way, the troops would approach the city without the people on the city wall noticing it.

It's just that the target of the [-] army is too huge, and it has to be said that it is because there are no horses in the team that it is two miles away from the city, otherwise the sound alone would be loud enough.

"Well, let's pass the order, the target is Changkou City, and when we get to the bottom of the city, immediately break through the city gate and attack the city!" Su Dingfang said.

"Yes!" The lieutenant retreated after receiving the order.

On the way here, the army made a lot of siege equipment from local materials, at least some of them hit woods and carts, but now they want to attack Changkou at night and break open the gate, as long as the defenders at Changkou react and gather Breaking open the city gate before the city gate, the battle has already been won more than half.

Among them, it is to race against time to see who is one step faster.

For two miles, the army trotted all the way, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they approached the city.

The defenders on the walls of Changkou City were instantly stunned when they saw Su Dingfang's army.

"Enemy attack!"

A loud shout spread into the city, and the fire on the city wall was blazing.

Su Dingfang's army still didn't light the torches. Relying on the faint light of the fire from the city wall, the army rushed forward quickly, and a group of people pushed the carts and began to rush towards the city gate.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" The defenders on the city wall began to bend their bows and set up arrows, shooting at the Tang army below.

Soldiers of the Tang army kept falling outside the city, while two groups of people held wooden shields and stood in front of the people pushing the carts, protecting them from the arrows shot down from the city wall.

After rushing the car into the city gate, it was safe for the time being. The front row of the army behind was holding wooden shields, and the people behind were hiding behind the shields to avoid the arrows, and slowly pushed forward.

The rushing car relentlessly hit the city gate over and over again in the city gate hole.

The defenders in Changkou City stood firmly behind the city gate to prevent the city gate from being smashed open by a car. There were so many Tang troops outside, once they rushed into the city, Changkou would lose.

Su Dingfang was sitting on the back of the horse, and he could only get a general idea of ​​the situation in front of him, and he could only listen to the sound for the rest.

The Tang army didn't hold torches, and the archers on the city wall couldn't find the target, and the casualty rate on the Tang army's side would be greatly reduced. This is also the benefit of attacking the city at night.

The car in the city gate continued to work hard, and finally broke the city gate. Su Dingfang heard the sound of the city gate being broken, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack the Changkou city.

However, the two groups of people pushing the chariot before, before the comrades from the rear attacked, faced countless defenders in the city.

Soon, the team behind pressed up, and the two armies met at the gate of the city.
