Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 515 Landing on the Coast of Pyongyang
The impact of Tang Jun's victory over Liaodong City is still very large.

A core stronghold extending in all directions of the entire Goguryeo Great Wall defense line was taken down, and then it can attack from all directions.

After a brief rest for the Tang army in Liaodong City, Li Shimin immediately sent Zhang Liang to attack Beisha City, Li Shiji to attack Baiyan City, and Qibi Heli to attack Black Bone City.

And I personally led the Chinese army to Anshi City, and wanted to completely take down Goguryeo's Great Wall defense line before winter came, so that Tang Jun could have a foothold in Goguryeo, and even after one winter, he could become a local household.

The entire Goguryeo Great Wall defense line is arranged according to the Changbai Mountains. If you want to consolidate the land taken from Liaodong, you must seize the important strongholds on the Changbai Mountains and the special resettlement cities of Goguryeo.

Otherwise, there is no danger to defend these places at all, and the soldiers are guarded here in vain. When winter comes, it is very likely that a condescending charge by Goguryeo will lead to the breach of positions and strongholds.

Therefore, now it seems that occupying so much land in Goguryeo is a bit like a stock that has risen. As for whether this floating profit can really be settled, it still depends on whether the entire Great Wall defense line can be completely taken down!

However, Li Tai had no doubts about the fighting power of the Tang army, but let Li Chunfeng return to Youzhou with his own orders.

Because Cen Wenwen, who lives in Youzhou, suddenly became ill due to overwork, Li Tai recommended Li Chunfeng.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin finally agreed. After all, Li Chunfeng was the governor of Youzhou.

It's just that this time, when attacking Goguryeo, in order to coordinate the logistics of the army and Youzhou, let the army follow the action.

But now that Cen Wenwen is suddenly ill, he needs to sit in Youzhou.

Of course, Li Tai also gave him some private work, asking him to supervise the research of pure steel siege weapons and transport the entire Tang army's winter reserves.

Although it's just entered August, it's still hot even in Youzhou.

But Li Tai knew that it was really unreasonable to talk about entering winter here, and even the coast of the Bohai Sea would freeze.

If the cold-proof materials are not transported in advance by then, it may be too late to transport them.

It was not necessary to transport the cold protection materials before, and secondly, it has not occupied the main points of the Liaodong area.

But now Liaodong City and Gaimu City are taken down. As long as Anshi City is taken down, almost the entire Goguryeo Great Wall defense line based on the Changbai Mountains is completely occupied.

And Datang was able to become a local household from the original aggressive side, even if it did not destroy Goguryeo, at least it took the initiative strategically.

Just like in history, when Tubo faced Datang, the Battle of Dafeichuan drove Datang forces out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Since then, Tubo has had an active advantage in condescending terrain when facing Datang.

Li Tai asked Li Chunfeng to go back and dispatch the winter supplies in person, just to prepare for a protracted war with Goguryeo.

Of course, compared to the fact that Datang needs to conquer each city one by one in the north, to be honest, Li Tai hopes that Li Dejian and Su Lie, who are sailing on the Bohai Sea at this moment, can create some miracles for themselves.

What Li Tai didn't know was that, before the Tang army attacked Liaodong City, Li Dejian's team was more accurately said that Tian Changgeng had already fought head-on with Yuan Gai Suwen's army stationed in Pyongyang.

The matter began when Yuan Gai Suwen received the news that Li Shiji had captured Gaimu City.

Looking at the line of defense that the Gao family had worked so hard to build, Tang Jun knocked him out without defending Tang Jun for a few days. Yuan Gai Suwen didn't know whether to borrow a knife to kill people or to take care of the overall situation, but he gave Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou the order to come forward. command to support.

Even Yuangai Suwen took the initiative to send tens of thousands of shi of grain, which made the two Koguryo royal generals feel relieved.

In contrast, although Yuan Gaisuwen controlled the government at this time, at least the Gao family was the real royal family of the entire Goguryeo.

Facing Datang's invasion, they were actually more anxious than Yuan Gai Suwen. At this moment, Yuan Gai Suwen didn't hold him back, and they were relieved to go to the front to support the front line.

After all, at this time, it would be beneficial to cooperate with Yuan Gai Suwen.

But Yuan Gai Suwen had just dispatched the Gao family to go to the Great Wall defense line, but immediately the boy from Yuan came to Yuan Gai Suwen and said,
"Father, according to the report from the scouts arranged on the coastline, there are traces of Datang ships along the coast of Pyongyang!"

"Sure enough it's here!" Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but feel a boulder fall from his heart when he heard this.

Ever since Yuan Nanjian sent a wave of troops that Goguryeo had cultivated with great difficulty, Yuangai Suwen discovered for the first time that Goguryeo not only needs to guard against the frontal attack of the Tang army, but also needs to guard against the mysterious appearance of the Tang navy in a certain place in Goguryeo. One place, a devastating blow to the hinterland.

After losing the fleet belonging to Goguryeo, the sea was no longer a barrier of safety for Goguryeo. Instead, it became a ladder for the Tang army to move freely and freely, which was quite difficult for Yuan Gaisuwen to accept.

Yuangai Suwen had to leave his core army stationed in Pyongyang. This was not only because of his split with the Goguryeo royal family in Goguryeo, but at the same time he was afraid of the sudden attack of the Tang army's navy on the hinterland.

And the only thing Yuan Gai Suwen can do is to send a lot of scouts to control the coastline.

The only thing that made Yuangai Suwen heave a sigh of relief was that the coastline that Goguryeo needs to guard against is not very long, at least it can withstand the core area.

Yuan Gai Su Wen didn't hesitate, stood up and said to Yuan Boy, "Order the nearby soldiers to do a good job of guarding the coast, and tell them that I will immediately lead my troops to stop them. As long as they hold for two hours, reinforcements will arrive!"

Boy Yuan didn't say much, and immediately sent soldiers to the nearby stronghold to deliver orders.

In order to prepare for the landing of the Tang army, Yuan Gai Suwen still made some simple preparations just in case.

However, in Yuan Gaisuwen's impression, the coastal troops attacking halfway would definitely have a considerable impact on any landing troops.

Especially things like crossbow arrows, if they can shoot covering shots, it is difficult for ordinary ships to resist.

But the navy and the navy are two completely different arms, which is really hard for him to feel without personal experience.

For the navy, in order to have the ability to sail stably in the sea, it is very important to increase the tonnage and weight of the ship.

This can increase the probability of survival when the ship encounters severe weather at sea, and at the same time, the cost of shipping time for a trip is almost the same economically.

Then if there is a larger load at the same time, the cost of transporting goods can be further reduced.

Such a characteristic makes the pursuit of the tonnage of the ship almost endless, even now it is the power system that constrains the tonnage of the ship.

If controllable nuclear fusion can really be produced, the tonnage of the current ship may continue to increase.

Therefore, in the impression of the Goguryeo people, they took the crossbow arrows to fight the building boats, but in fact, when Li Dejian led the Datang navy to appear along the coast of Goguryeo, the city walls appeared in front of the Goguryeo people.

At this time, the Goguryeo army stationed by the sea suddenly discovered that if the crossbow arrows were not concentrated to a certain extent, it would be meaningless to deal with such a huge ship as the Tang army.

Even so, they could only fire crossbow bolts to slow down the Tang army's landing as much as possible.

And the first to end was the academy soldier who blinded them and was dressed in heavy armor.

In particular, the Xuefu soldiers waved their shields in front of them. The crossbow arrows stationed on the coast of Koguryo shot at the shields in the hands of the Xuefu soldiers, but they shot the Xuefu soldiers back a few steps, but the arrows fired by their crossbow There is an offset!
"Tsk tsk, there are even crossbows prepared!" Tian Changgeng nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Xuefu soldiers deal with the crossbows with ease.

After the baptism of the Persian battlefield, although the academy soldiers are still in the second talent, they are no longer the kind of second talent who rely on Li Jing to forcibly shape and guide their combat power, all of which are equipped on their bodies.
They have really settled down, whether it is adaptive talent or gravity talent, they have a certain degree of precipitation and proficiency.

At the stage of the second talent, they no longer rely solely on this equipment to fight, they have formed their own fighting style.

It was as if the soldier was dealing with the crossbow arrow this time, and it was obvious that the soldier stepped forward and made a bow shape to make his body more stable, but the shield in his hand was slightly tilted to guide the trajectory of the arrow.

Although he was shot in the front, and even his body was shot back, at least he managed to catch the crossbow at a minimum cost by unloading his force.

Of course, this is just a few sparse crossbow arrows shot in this way, and Goguryeo's crossbow arrow technology is not up to standard, but if Goguryeo can improve the crossbow arrow technology a little bit, or can use more crossbow arrows to gather and carry out Intensive coverage shooting, even if it is a school soldier, I am afraid that it will be shot.

After all, Xuefu soldiers relied on their accumulated experience, their own equipment, and their use of gravity to take this blow by operating. But if it is densely covered crossbow arrows, Xuefu soldiers can't resist it!

However, as this wave of crossbow arrows had no effect on Tian Changgeng's landing on the beach, it was almost unrealistic for the remaining Goguryeo soldiers to resist the attack of the Xuefu soldiers.

Even if they risked their lives at this time and wanted to bite with their own teeth, they might not be able to leave a bite mark on the equipment of the academy soldiers.

Therefore, it only took a quarter of an hour for the two sides to meet and fight. After the Goguryeo defenders stationed here realized that they could not have any influence on the Xuefu soldiers, they ran away decisively and retreated as fast as the wind.

Tian Changgeng did not forcefully pursue it, but grabbed someone and asked the direction of Pyongyang, and led the army to continue moving forward.

Because Tian Changgeng wanted to explore the environment in this area on the one hand.

In addition, it is to attract Goguryeo's attention, let them focus on themselves, and set up a camp for Li Dejian and Su Lie.

After the construction of the camp was completed and the Tang army had a reliance in the Goguryeo area, the landing could be considered complete.

Otherwise, if Goguryeo has time, it is not impossible to dispatch troops to forcefully push down the undefended Datang army.

After all, the average quality of the Tang army is better than that of Goguryeo, but Goguryeo has cavalry after all. As long as Goguryeo is willing, with the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, it is very possible to drive the Tang army back into the sea.

That's why Su Lie and Li Dejian approached Li Tai for an army that would be almost unaffected after disembarking, and could immediately be used for landing operations.

They don't even need this force to be strong, as long as they can build a crude defense system on the coast, it is enough.

It's just that Tian Changgeng's school army is so strong that both Su Lie and Li Dejian are a little surprised.

They watched Tian Changgeng and the academy soldiers chasing the Goguryeo army stationed along the coast as if they were crushing ducks, and they more or less understood that they seemed to have really found a treasure this time.

And as the Xuefu soldiers continued to expand the space of the Tang army all the way forward, the next one to disembark was the headquarters of Fu Sulie.

Su Lie's headquarters brought all kinds of tools for camping, but when these soldiers stepped on the water, they stepped on the water firmly, as if they were stepping on soft jelly , has no effect.

Obviously, Su Lie's headquarters is also a war department trained by taking into account the water station, which makes it easier for them to move when operating on the beach, and it is also more convenient to set up camps, but in terms of frontal battlefield capabilities, it is still inferior to Tian long plowed.

Now, with the space created by Tian Changgeng, Su Lie also set up the simple camp as quickly as possible.

After all, after the seaside camp is set up, Li Dejian will leave enough food and supplies, and then return to Youzhou, where he will serve as a transport ship to transport the follow-up supplies, so that the two troops of Su Lie and Tian Changgeng can continue to station it's here.

Yes, both Su Lie and Tian Changgeng strategically wanted to attack Pyongyang, but in essence, the actual purpose was to focus on defense and to divert the attention of the Goguryeo army.

As long as I am nailed to the hinterland of Goguryeo like a nail, then Goguryeo must get rid of this army, so that it is possible to concentrate on solving the Tang army that is pushing forward step by step.

In other words, no matter whether it is Su Lie or Tian Changgeng, as long as they keep going, it's fine, and staying is to create value for the Tang army.

Of course, if they could really find an opportunity to kill Yuan Gai Su Wen and occupy Pyongyang, then the two of them would not give up.

It's just that both of them are very clear that as long as Yuan Gai Suwen doesn't give him a chance, it will be almost impossible to realize it.

When Tian Changgeng led the Xuefu soldiers all the way forward, he soon saw Yuan Gai Suwen leading the cavalry from the headquarters to hurry over.

Along the way, he saw his own rout soldiers, and of course, he also saw the academy soldiers in heavy armor, staring at him intently.
