Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 438 Take Control of Jian'an City

When night fell, the battle in Jian'an City was almost over.

According to Zhang Liang and Xue Rengui's deduction, the number of guarding soldiers in Jian'an City is indeed similar to Gao Ming's deduction, around 5.

After this battle, about 1 enemies were killed, more than 5000 were captured, and the remaining 3 people all fled. Judging from their escape route, they should have fled to Liaodong City.

Gao Ming sat in the City Lord's Mansion in Jian'an, listening to Zhang Liang and others report to him.

"His Royal Highness, those Goguryeo people should not have run far. I am sure that I will catch up with them before they reach Liaodong City. How about..."

Gao Ming understood what Zhang Liang meant, and immediately smiled and waved his hands.

"Haha, no need, they are no longer a threat to us. Now our main task is to control Jian'an City, and I will leave this to you. I don't need to teach you how to do it?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhang Liang agreed, and then retreated. After he left, Xue Rengui cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, the south gate that was blasted by the cannon will be difficult to repair for a while. In order to prevent the Goguryeo people from attacking, the general is willing to ask His Highness to drive the tank to the entrance of the south gate!"

"Block the door with tanks?"

After hearing Xue Rengui's suggestion, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Well, it's a good way. I agree, Huzi, you and Rengui go there and drive the tank to block the south gate."

"Yes!"

After Hu Zi and Xue Rengui left, there was only Hou Junji left beside Gao Ming. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Gao Ming could only shake his head helplessly.

"It's been a tiring day today, Duke Lu, why don't you go back and rest early!"

"This……"

Hou Junji also heard the meaning of seeing off the guests in Gao Ming's words, he hesitated for a moment, and then bowed his hands to Gao Ming in salute.

"His Royal Highness, I want to take 2 people to attack Beisha City, please allow me!"

Hearing Hou Junji's words, a narrow smile appeared on Gao Ming's face.

"Hey? Lord Lu, Beisha City is not easy to fight. Besides, we just captured Jian'an City. If Liaodong City or Xincheng sends troops to attack, it will be impossible if there is no one to defend the city. Therefore, the matter of attacking Beisha City, Let’s talk about it later!”

Hou Junji also heard the meaning of "running" in Gao Ming's words, and his face immediately turned red.

If according to Hou Junji's previous style, he would have waved his sleeves and left at this time, but now he dare not, because he knows that if he really leaves now, with Gao Ming's narrow-minded temper, then this time Hou Junji has nothing to do with Goguryeo.

This attack on Jian'an City was an eye-opener for Hou Junji. Although he had already guessed that Gao Ming had a trump card, he never expected that this trump card would be so powerful that it would blow up the gate of Jian'an City within three hundred steps. opened.

Now he finally understands why Qiancheng Yaojin wanted the cannon from Gao Ming one day, it is simply a siege weapon!

The emergence of cannons completely broke the original mode of warfare. The cavalry, which could only be used in field battles, can now be used in siege warfare.

The cannon broke through the city, and then the cavalry was used to block the city gate, and then the infantry who entered the city cooperated to mop up the enemy troops in the city. This mode of warfare allowed Hou Junji to see a brand new gate.

It turns out that siege warfare can still be fought like this!

At this moment, he suddenly thought that Cheng Yaojin and Gao Ming were going to take fifty cannons. He didn't understand it before, but now he understood that Cheng Yaojin must have taken these cannons to blast the gate of Liaodong City.

There are also those [-] things called "Fudo Mingwang". Originally, Hou Junji guessed that they were Buddha statues, but now that he thinks about it, they must also be some kind of powerful war weapons!
Hou Junji knew very well that the Goguryeo people were far inferior to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. All they could rely on was to stick to the high city.

But now that the Tang Dynasty has cannons, when the city gate is broken, the Goguryeo people will undoubtedly lose!

"The Goguryeo people have always had no backbone. When Cheng Yaojin and the others break through Liaodong City, Goguryeo may see that the situation is over, and they may surrender. If I don't think about it, I can only stare blankly."

After thinking about these things clearly, Hou Junji's mind became more active.

"I must make a contribution before Cheng Yaojin and others break Liaodong City. Now Jian'an City has been captured by the prince, and the closest big city to Jian'an City is Beisha City. As long as it is captured, it can be regarded as Great job!"

After making a decision, Hou Junji gritted his teeth, and knelt down on one knee towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, the general is willing to issue a military order to defeat Beisha City within one day. The subordinates only need to bring 1... no, [-] is enough!"

Hearing Hou Junji's words and seeing his eagerness, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Hahahaha, Lord Lu, please be safe and don't be impatient. The most taboo thing in a war is to advance aggressively. Now that Jian'an has been taken, Beisha City can be said to be in our pocket. When to take it all depends on us." Mood, so you don't have to worry."

"But……"

Hou Junji still wanted to say something, but before he could say it, Gao Ming smiled and waved at him.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, the soldiers are also tired, and Jian'an City has not been fully controlled yet, as the saying goes, you must first settle the inside when you are in trouble with the outside world, don't worry about other things these two days, let's get rid of it first." Let's talk about the matter in Jian'an City, okay, I'm tired, you should go down and rest too!"

"This... ok!"

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Hou Junji could only stand up, and then cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"Wei Chen retire!"

After Hou Junji left, Gao Ming stood up and stretched.

"Oh, I'm exhausted, I can finally sleep peacefully today."

After speaking, Gao Ming entered the backyard under the guard of several soldiers.

At this time, the backyard was full of maidservants kneeling, there were hundreds of them, big and small, and seeing Gao Ming coming, they were all trembling with fright.

Gao Ming walked to the door of the room, casually raised the chin of a maidservant, looked at her frightened face, and shook his head in disappointment.

"Bangzi's woman, no matter in temperament or appearance, can't compare with the woman in my Tang Dynasty. It's really boring, boring!"

Having said that, Gao Ming let go of the maidservant's chin, and then waved his hands towards the soldiers behind him.

"The order will go on, any soldier who wants these Goguryeo women in the city lord's mansion can exchange for military merit, ten ears for one, and if everyone likes one, whoever has more ears will get it!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming didn't look at the expressions of the crowd, so he opened the door and went in.

When he closed the door, he suddenly heard huge cheers from the soldiers outside the door.

Hearing the cheers, Gao Ming suddenly showed a smile on his face.

"It seems that money and women are really fuel for war!"

With a smile all over his face, Gao Ming yawned, then closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Gao Ming fell asleep, the siege of Liaodong City, which was tens of miles away, also started.
