The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1196 One-sided

The Tang army poured into Changkou City continuously, and soon gained the upper hand. In this battle, the Tang army was prepared to fight or not, and fought with more people than the few. With the help of the weather and the harmony of people, they won Changkou City. .

Seeing the situation like this, Changkou's defender couldn't beat him, so he put down his weapon and surrendered.

Resisting any longer is undoubtedly a dead end, and if you surrender, you will still have a life left.

The battle of Changkou was said to be easy, but it was also difficult to say that it was not easy, because the preparation time was too long. For this first battle, just after the new year, Su Dingfang first went to Hebei, and then led his troops to Shandong. Dengzhou, I waited for more than half a month in Dengzhou before I got this opportunity.

There were only [-] guards in Changkou City. After one battle, the remaining [-] soldiers were locked up in the barracks of Changkou City. The army under Su Dingfang took over Changkou City smoothly. All of a sudden, the scouts in the city didn't arrive in time to send out a message, so people in other places in Goguryeo still don't know that Changkou has been occupied by the Tang army.

After occupying Changkou City, Su Ding conveniently found someone who was proficient in the Goguryeo language, and began to post Anmin notices everywhere in the city as usual.

It is easy to take down a city, but it is difficult to subdue a city. After the war, how to govern is the most important thing.

The mansion in Changkou City, Su Dingfang naturally settled in here, and this mansion also became the command place of Su Dingfang's army.

"General, all the affairs in the city have been arranged, what should we do next?" the deputy general beside Su Dingfang asked.

"To the north of Changkou is Pyongyang City. Quangaisuwen is in Pyongyang City. Pyongyang City has more than [-] elite Goguryeo soldiers. They are led by Quangaisuwen himself. With our current strength, it is not worthwhile to fight Pyongyang, so we will continue Come down, the target of the army might as well go to the south, and fight a few battles to enrich the strength of our army first." Su Dingfang said.

"The general already has a goal?"

Su Dingfang nodded: "Well, here."

Su Dingfang stood on the hanging map money, pointing his fingers in the direction of Kaesong in the southeast of Changkou.

"Kaesong is the southernmost city of Goguryeo. It is very close to the territory of Silla. The sky is far away from the emperor. Pyongyang City hardly governs here, so the best way to support war is to fight all the way. When you arrive at Kaesong, then go down to Kaesong. Kaesong and Changkou in the south are connected together, and all the places in the middle are under our control, and Silla is behind you, so you can rest assured for the time being." Su Dingfang said: "In this way, the whole In Goguryeo, the two most important cities are Dahang City, Bozhuo City and Pyongyang City. Goguryeo is fighting on both sides, and the troops are relatively scattered, which is also beneficial to us."

As for Bozhuo City, neither Xuan Shijing nor Su Dingfang considered it. Bozhuo City is close to Yishan, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not close to Pyongyang City and Dahang City. Fortress, when the two armies besieged Pyongyang, there were two ways on the side of Bozhuo City, one was to send troops to rescue, in this way, it was considered to lead the snake out of the hole.

Or they continue to choose not to shrink back, watching Pyongyang City being breached by Datang, and will be besieged by Datang in the end.

Therefore, Bozhuo City is not very important to the Liaodong Army and Su Dingfang's team, nor is it a place that must be taken.

The defenders of Bozhuo City may have the power to fight against the Tang army guarding Bozhuo City, but once they leave the city, they are nothing in front of the Tang army.

The combat effectiveness of the sergeants of the Tang army is not average, and the excellent weapons and armor of the soldiers are not comparable to the Goguryeo army.

When the Tang army attacked the Turks, what did they rely on? The soldiers were well-equipped with food, the soldiers were monitored, and the weapons were sharp. If they competed with the people on the grasslands, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have been thrown eight blocks away by them.

After all, a man on the prairie is a warrior, a natural warrior when he mounts a horse and picks up a sword and bow.

Changkou City was captured, and Su Dingfang didn't plan to move for a short time, because he learned from the Koguryo soldiers who surrendered that Goguryeo's navy would return to Changkou for supplies in the near future. The city was too easily recaptured by Goguryeo's navy.

It was different when Su Dingfang was there. The [-] Tang troops refused to defend the city, and Goguryeo's navy troops disembarked to attack the city.

There is still some difference between the navy and the soldiers on land.

The news that Changkou City was captured by Su Dingfang did not reach Pyongyang City until seven days later. Quan Gai Suwen saw the news sent by the courier on the sickbed and only spit blood on the bedside.

"My lord!" Seeing this, the people around Quan Gai Suwen hurried forward to help Quan Gai Suwen up, and at the same time shouted to the outside of the palace: "Quick! Let the doctor come here!"

Quan Gai Su Wen lowered his head and waved his hands with difficulty: "It's okay, I know my own body."

Quan Gai Su Wen was so angry that Dahang City didn't let him worry about it, but Changkou was captured by Datang's army without any warning. What are those spies doing? of?So many people have arrived near Goguryeo, but they have not found their traces. Did they only find out after the city was taken down, and the navy, did they not find any clues on the sea?

Quan Gai Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned on the pillow behind him: "Do you know who took the long mouth?"

"My lord, now on the top of Changkou City, there is a word 'Su' written on the banner hanging on it. The lower officials dare to guess that it is Su Lie and Su Dingfang's army."

"Su Dingfang" Quangai Suwen gave a wry smile: "This man is so brave and good at fighting. When the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks, he attacked Yinshan Mountain at night. Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry to go to the battle first and broke through Jieli Khan's tooth tent. [-] People, hehehe."

"My lord." Seeing Quan Gai Suwen's expression, the officials next to him felt uncomfortable. Now that the situation has become like this, it will be difficult to restore it, unless Da Mo Lizhi recovers immediately. , personally led the army to face Tang Jun, but, is this possible?

"Quickly ask someone to contact the Navy, don't go back to Changkou, go directly to the vicinity of Pyongyang for supplies. Today's Changkou is a trap for the Navy. If the Navy passes by, they will definitely be trapped in it." Quan Gai Suwen Said.

"Yes"

"In addition, send [-] troops to the vicinity of Changkou, fortify the walls and clear the fields, take away all that can be taken away, and don't leave any luggage for the Tang army." Quan Gai Suwen instructed: "The Tang army went deep alone, without supplies. Let's see how long Su Ding can last."
