Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 468
When Luo Cheng led his troops into Beisha City, he was also shocked by the bloodshed in the city.

Can't imagine what happened here, it's like hell.

"Clean up the battlefield and clean up Beisha City." Luo Cheng ordered helplessly.

Converge the dead and clean the blood.

Beisha became a dead city, and Daheishan became a dead mountain.

But Beisha City is still there, and Shilijian City still stands on the Daheishan.

Sitting in the Beisha City Lord's Mansion, which was filled with the smell of blood, Luo Cheng began to write a memorial to the emperor.This memorial was more difficult to write, and Luo Cheng wrote it several times but was not satisfied.

Finally he dropped the pen.

"Wei Sima, write it, and remember to say something nice for handsome Zhou Zhou."

three days later.

Under the city of Liaodong.

Yang Guang, who was discussing the plan to attack Liaodong City with the generals of the Xiaoguo Army, received this memorial written by Wei Zhengdai. After opening it and watching it, Yang Guang was silent for a long time.

"His Majesty?"

Yu Shiji asked.

Yang Guang sighed, and raised the memorial of Luo Cheng in his hand, "Luo Cheng, the chief of the navy, just sent the memorial, and he has captured Beisha City."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, another victory in the Eastern Expedition."

But the emperor was not so happy, "Baisha City was not easy to fight. The fourth and sixth armies of Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang have been completely disabled, and only 8000 people are left."

This time, all civil and military officials were shocked.

How is this possible, Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang are also known as veteran generals, very capable of fighting.The two armies they commanded had a total of 5000 people. Although the number of the first army was not as large as Luo Cheng's fifth army, which had 3, it still had 500 troops. The two armies were [-], leaving [-]. Is this a loss of [-]?
How did this battle go?

"Yu Qing, please read this memorial for everyone to listen to."

Yu Shiji took it and finished reading.

The bill was full of silence.

Unexpectedly, before the fight started here, Luo Cheng's navy had already fought so fiercely in southern Liaoning.First annihilate [-] reinforcements in An City, then destroy and build An City, and then kill [-] troops of Goguryeo in a bloody battle in Shicheng, and then kill [-] troops of Goguryeo in a bloody battle in Beisha.

Counting it, Luo Cheng's navy has fought three bloody battles, wiped out more than [-] enemies, and destroyed two big cities.

Although the Sui army also lost nearly [-] troops, relatively speaking, the results were very fruitful.

"The minister impeached Lai to protect his son, Zhou Fashang lost his teacher and ruined the country!" Seeing that the emperor was not happy, Pei Yun immediately jumped out to impeach Zhou Fashang.

Yang Guang waved his hand, "Luo Cheng has already made it very clear that although the bloody battle in Shicheng and the bloody battle in Beisha suffered a lot, it was not all due to the two people's wrong command. Although there were a lot of losses, it was still a victory in the end." It should be meritorious and innocent."

After finishing speaking, Yang Guang tapped on the case.

"You have also heard that Beisha City is far more dangerous than Liaodong City. However, Luo Cheng took [-] sailors and captured Beisha City in less than a month. Not only broke Beisha City, but also mobilized Anshi, the three major cities of Wugu and Shicheng, as well as the defenders of more than ten cities around Beisha came to help, and finally almost wiped them out. If you see it, you must have this kind of blood and ruthlessness in fighting."

The last time they attacked Liaodong City, a 20-strong army surrounded them for several months but failed to defeat them, which made Yang Guang very embarrassed.

"Although the city of Liaodong is large, it is a city on a plain after all. It is far inferior to Beisha in terms of fortification and danger. So this time, I must lead the [-] Xiaoguo army to capture Liaodong city."

The generals couldn't help being inspired to fight, yes, Zhou Fashang, who came to protect his son, was defeated in the bloody battle in Shicheng, but there is still Yu Yong who fought hard to build an important town in Beisha City. They have a hundred thousand fruits, why can't they win one? What about Liaodong City?

"The last time the siege failed, there were some deficiencies. I have already found out the reason, and learned a lesson this time."

After Yang Guang went back last time, he also summed up a lot of failure lessons. For example, the last time he attacked Liaodong City, he almost captured it several times, but because the enemy called for surrender, he said he would give them a chance to breathe.

What's more, they didn't attack in one go at the beginning.Another one is that Liaodong City is really tall and strong, and it lacked enough siege equipment last time.

But this time, Yang Guang did not intend to persuade Liaodong City to surrender until it was captured.As for the siege equipment, he also prepared a lot this time, and brought many craftsmen.

He had already asked craftsmen to build a large number of siege vehicles, all of which had already been built with parts, and were transported to the Liaodong city for assembly, which was very convenient.

This kind of building car is very tall, even taller than Liaodong City. Dozens of people can stand on it, push the building car to the city wall, and stand full of crossbowmen on it. military.

He also built countless catapults, preparing to continuously throw stones and fireballs into the city.

There are also countless siege vehicles, ladders and so on.

In short, Yang Guang didn't believe it anymore, there was still an unbreakable city.

He also plans to dig tunnels and pile up mountains of earth.

These two moves are an excellent way to deal with Pingyuan City. Luo Yi and Luo Chengcheng have used this method to break through the Goguryeo City before.

"Three days later, the official siege of the city will begin, and the troops will go back to prepare."

When the generals left, Yang Guang asked Yu Shiji to draw up an imperial edict for him.

"The decree is to set up Lushun County with Beisha and its surrounding areas, and establish Jian'an County with Jian'an and its surrounding areas. Song Laosheng was appointed as the prefect of Jian'an, and Luo Siye was appointed as the prefect of Lushun."

As for Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang, the emperor gave them a hundred household seals and a thousand bolts of silk, and then they were gone. The rewards were not too heavy, but they did not pursue their failure in Shicheng.

As for Luo Cheng, the head of the navy, he led [-] sailors and lost [-], but he also gained a lot of money, so the emperor decreed that Luo Chengzhen should add [-] households to the city, making it [-] households in total. The money is about [-] guan), [-] bolts of silk are rewarded, and [-] Goguryeo slaves are given.

As for Zhou Fashang who came to protect his son and slaughtered Beisha City, the emperor didn't mention a word.

The emperor finally urged Luo Cheng to lead his troops to the Yalu River in order to cooperate with the Sixth Army to attack the inner city.

The decree spread to southern Liaoning.

Zhou Fashang, who came to protect his son, was very calm. He didn't receive a big reward, but at least he didn't convict him. He was still a deputy commander, and he was still a general of the first army, but his soldiers were pitifully small. Each had 4000 soldiers. Now the Fourth and Sixth Armies are considered Reduced to the left five army's allied army.

The Left Fifth Army was also relatively calm, and the rewards for the previous merit report were also passed.

Siye was a bit surprised, his performance in the last battle was not the most outstanding, but this time the emperor pulled him out alone and promoted him to the post of prefect of Lushun.

"The emperor means to let me stay in Beisha City?"

"Well, that's what it means, but now Beisha City doesn't see this name anymore, it's called Lushun City. You are the prefect of Lushun, so of course you have to stay behind. As for me, I will draw 4000 people from the Fourth and Sixth Armies and hand them over to you to guard Lushun City. .”

"Can you hand it over to other people? I don't want to be such a prefect. I'm not the material." The third child was not too happy, but the fourth child looked enviously at the side. He wanted to be one, but the emperor did not arrange him.

"Lushun is very important. Remember the Dahang City last time? In this Eastern Expedition, Lushun City is as important as the Dahang City last time, so don't take it lightly. You must guard it for me , with Lushun City here, we can have peace of mind."

The third child nodded reluctantly, "Okay, tell me, what is my mission here?"

"The task is to guard the city of Lushun. The other thing is that I will transport the grain and grass from Donglai across the sea. It will be stored in Lushun port first. You will guard this big black mountain and be responsible for preventing the Goguryeo people from crossing the city and raiding our grain. Others Yes, it’s gone, but if there are police in Jian’an City, they will be reinforced according to the situation.”

Although Luo Cheng was a little surprised by the emperor's promotion of the third son to be the prefect of Lushun, he thought it was a good thing. After all, it was not easy for his own brother to become the prefect of a county.He is the prefect of Donglai, and the third child has become the prefect of Lushun. The two brothers are one in Shandong and the other in Liaodong.
