The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 460 The Battle of Jili City ([-])
"I don't know how Gao Ming and the others are doing." Li Shimin said in Huang Luo's big tent.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Highness has already made precise arrangements. It won't be long before Jili City will be in the hands of our army." Xu Mao said openly to Li Shimin.

"Why do I always feel that my right eyelid keeps twitching, is something going to happen?" Li Shimin still had a worried expression on his face.

……

The fire burned for a whole day, and it was slowly extinguished when it was dark.Moreover, the fire not only burned Jiuqu and Baqu to rubble, but even Liuqu and Wuqu were not spared.

It can be said that more than half of the entire Jili City has been burned, but the residents of Goguryeo did not suffer too many casualties.Instead, they all retreated into the trilogy.

And the essence of the nine-curve Yellow River Formation is hidden within these three curves.There is not only the Gyro Road, the Fascinated Soul Road, but the traps, traps, and ambushes are even more intricate.

Even so, the deputy generals in Jili City are all frowning.Because they discovered that their main general, Zhang Hanlin, was missing.

They didn't know that Zhang Hanlin was going to attack Li Shimin, but they thought that Zhang Hanlin knew that Jili City could not be defended, so he fled ahead of time.

At this time, Zhang Hanlin was lurking in the dense forest ten miles away from Jili City.After it got dark, he led someone to touch the Chinese army on the west side of Jili City.

After all, if he led troops to attack Li Shimin in broad daylight, there would be a large army in the city returning to help him before he could wait.

So he chose to sneak attack in the dark, only in this way can he truly win with one blow.As long as Li Shimin was captured alive, even if he died in the chaos, he would be considered a winner.

At that time, don't talk about losing a Jili City, even if you lose the west of the Yalu River, Gai Suwen will not blame him.And it will be a great compliment.At that time, it will be close at hand to seal the Marquis and pay homage to the Prime Minister.

……

Because Zhang Hanlin didn't dare to make too much noise, the speed of the march was not very fast.It took nearly an hour to reach the vicinity of the Chinese army.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Hanlin sent scouts to check the distribution of the Chinese army's forces.It didn't take long to get the scout's return.

"General, there are less than [-] troops stationed in the Chinese army, but the guards are very strict. It can even be said that it has reached the point of being seamless."

Hearing the scout's report, a smile appeared on Zhang Hanlin's face.No matter how tight the opponent's defense is, there are only 5000 troops.

I brought more than 2 people, plus the special forces I trained.Once the war starts within a short period of time, it should not be a problem to win the Chinese army.

However, Zhang Hanlin did not act recklessly, but ordered the whole army to disperse and secretly surrounded the Chinese army.And he was going to wait until the battle broke out in the city before attacking the Chinese army.

Moreover, Zhang Hanlin also made two plans, that is, if Li Chengqian did not choose to fight at night.Then wait until after the third watch, when people are most sleepy before doing it.

……

Li Chengqian looked at the extinguished fire in the city, and said, "I wasn't sure that Jili City would be burned down. It seems that it is not difficult now."

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Pass down the order of this king, all sons and daughters should do it on time. This king wants to burn Jili City."

Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin snorted at the same time, and then went to inform Xue Rengui and Wang Junke.As for Yu Chigong, Li Chengqian was still not ready to let him participate in the battle.

When everyone got Li Chengqian's order, they took out the prepared fire oil one after another.And assembled a trebuchet.It was erected outside the mountain song.

At this time, Li Chengqian did not relax at all, still standing on the tower and looking at Jili City.

Xu Liang beside him said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, now that the overall situation is settled, why are you still frowning?"

"Xu Liang, I always feel that something is wrong. I can't understand it for a while." Li Chengqian said to Xu Liang.At the same time, he handed over the telescope in his hand to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang took the binoculars and looked at the only remaining part of Jili City.Fortunately, the telescope Li Chengqian used had night vision function, so he could see clearly.

After Xu Liang saw it, his complexion changed, and he said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, why do you feel that the Goguryeo army is too low-minded?"

"Although they have suffered such setbacks, it's normal for them to have low morale. But this king also feels that it's a bit too much." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"But now Zhang Hanlin, what kind of conspiracy and tricks can he have to turn defeat into victory?" Xu Liang also said with a puzzled expression.

"It would be great if he could escape from birth now, so what about turning defeat into victory?" Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian closed his eyes slightly, as if he was deep in thought.But his consciousness has already entered the super dandy system.

And said directly to Bingru: "I always feel that there is something wrong, but I can't figure it out for a while."

Bingru sat obediently in front of Li Chengqian, smiled and said: "This is not like our virtuous king who shocked the battlefield?"

"Little girl dared to tease me, do you believe that I did something unexpected to you?" Li Chengqian looked at Bingru and said.

"I hope you can do something to me, but I'm afraid you don't have that ability. It's as if Zhang Hanlin is going to kill your father now, do you think it's possible?" Bingru smiled and disappeared after finishing speaking.

And Li Chengqian couldn't help but his body shook, and he yelled that he was not good.Then he left the super dandy system in an instant and returned to reality.

Looking at Li Chengqian who disappeared, Bingru sighed and said: "I can only help you here, but fortunately this kid reacted in time."

Li Chengqian, who returned to the real world, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Xu Liang, "I understand why the morale of Goguryeo soldiers is so low?"

After finishing speaking, he went down from the high tower, and Xu Liang naturally followed him down the high tower.And while walking down, he asked: "Could it be possible that Your Highness wants to understand the truth?"

"Because their chief general, Zhang Hanlin, is not in Jili City. As the saying goes, a soldier is the soul of a general, and the general is the courage of a soldier. Now the Goguryeo soldiers who have no courage are naturally low in morale." Li Chengqian spoke to Xu Liang as he walked. Said.

When Xu Liang heard Li Chengqian's words, he couldn't help being taken aback, and said directly to Li Chengqian: "Could it be that this Hanlin has already secretly escaped?"

"It would be easy if he was escaping. I'm afraid that he has brought someone to touch the father." Li Chengqian said to Xu Liang.
