Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

But now, it is heading straight towards the 400,000-strong army.

Even, it seems that 400,000 is not the end, there will be more in the future, and there will be many more!
Gao Jianwen laughed.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad."

"This time, even if Liaodong City cannot be defeated, by letting off steam like this, the pressure within Goguryeo will definitely be reduced a lot."

"It's just that, although the number is still increasing crazily, we can't wait any longer, absolutely can't wait any longer!"

"Otherwise, we will be the ones in trouble."

Gao Jianwen said, narrowing his eyes slightly and laughing softly.

"Ok?"

Eulji Wende was puzzled.

Gao Jianwen glanced at him.

In an instant, Eulji Munduk understood.

His brows furrowed.

Indeed, we cannot wait any longer.

Otherwise, these gathered armies will start asking for food from the imperial court.

However, there is still food in the imperial court.

Now, these soldiers who have gathered from different places in Goguryeo all bring their own rations, which is enough for the time being.

But if we keep waiting and delaying, and these rations are used up, then the logistics of such a large army will not be able to squeeze out a drop even if the Goguryeo court is pressed into a piece of paper.

so. They must charge into battle and launch an attack on Liaodong City before the army consumes all their rations!

"That's right!"

Eulji Munduk took a deep breath and nodded.

"We can't delay any longer. These 400,000 troops are enough."

"In that case, let's set off."

Eulji Wende said solemnly.

"Well, give the order immediately!"

Gao Jianwen waved his hand: "The army is setting off, the target is Liaodong City!!"

….….….….….….
Domestic City, a gathering point.

"The imperial court has an order, move out, move out!!"

"Target Liaodong City, brothers and sisters, kill, kill, kill!"

"Take back Liaodong City and kill the Great Flame Dog!"

"...."

A scout held a military order in his hand, rode a war horse, galloped among the crowd, and roared wildly.

"It's finally time to set off. Grandma, my broadsword is already hungry and thirsty. Big Yan Dog, I'm going to kill them. Don't let them know the consequences of daring to offend our Goguryeo. I also want them to know what the world is. The strongest!"

"Hey, hey, brothers, we don't have to be hungry at last. Damn, the cake in my hand is really enough to eat. Grandma's, we can enter Liaodong City, and there will be plenty of fish and meat!"

"Bah, bah, bah, grandma, look at this fork of mine. It will kill at least one big Yanren. Huh, my fork is a dung fork, specially used to kill big Yanren!"

"Who says it's not? This knife of mine is specially used to kill sheep. This time, there is revenge and complaint. Dayan has robbed our food. We must let them return it with profits. .”

"Hahaha... You're right, kill, kill, kill! These damn things have made us unable to eat enough. This time, let them know the price for daring to provoke us!"

"Come on, charge on, charge on!"

"......."

The crowd went wild.

The Goguryeo soldiers all stood up.

They have had enough of waiting, and they can't wait to rush into the Great Yan to snatch food, treasure, and women.

They had vented all their dissatisfaction on Dayan, and under the deliberate guidance of the Goguryeo court, they aimed at Liaodong City.

They took the last of their food, and they also took the sharpest weapons at home, and rushed towards Dayan in a mighty manner.

This,
It was just one of the camps where Goguryeo gathered its army.

In other camps, there are similar scenes.

As for Goguryeo's regular soldiers, they followed behind. It was commonly known that they would not compete with the people for food in Liaodong City. After the city was broken, the people would take everything first.

This made the people of Goguryeo even more crazy.

Everyone's eyes were red.

One by one, the ground was covered with halazi.

Like an ant colony!

In terms of momentum, it is really good.

The people in the inner city watched the army march out and sent each other off wildly.

but,

Now, almost only women, children, old and young are left in the domestic cities.

Almost all the men rushed to Liaodong City. These men also took away the last rations of their families and the last hope of their families.

"It's been saved. It's finally been saved. My husband is extremely brave. When he comes back this time, our family will definitely have enough to eat." A woman burst into tears with excitement.

"Who says otherwise? Your Majesty and others all say that Great Yan is vulnerable to attack. Liaodong City is easily accessible. Before our 400,000-strong army, not even the Tang Dynasty can stop it, let alone Great Yan." An old man agreed.

"Yes, it is estimated that this battle will not take long, at most five or six days, and good news will come. By then, our life will be easier." Another person agreed.

"Five or six days, what shall we eat in these five or six days? I will make the last noodles of my family into cakes and let my men take them away."

"Five or six days, it's okay. Just be patient and come here. After five or six days, we will have a sumptuous feast. There will be so much food that we can't finish it. I heard that there is so much food in Liaodong City that we have to eat it all." The city is full."

"Liaodong City belongs to us. This time, we must take it back, and... we must take it back!!"

"......."

The people who stayed in the city were fighting and encouraging each other. They were waiting for the good news ahead.
.
…….….….….….
Empire.

Yeon Gae Suwon sat above the palace.

In front of you, there is a feast.

Under the palace, singers danced and concubines sang.

Yeon Gaesumun took a sip of wine and looked at the military report at hand. He also knew that Gao Jianwen and Eulji Mundeok were moving.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Don't worry. There are two adults personally taking charge this time. Our plan will be absolutely fine."

"The people have so much faith in us. After this battle, the pressure in the country will be reduced instantly."

The young princess next to Yeon Gaesumun smiled and poured a glass of wine for Yeon Gaesumun.

At this time, it was midsummer.

Hot weather.

The princess's outfit can be said to be extremely bold.

The tender skin is a bit dazzling.

The aristocratic life of Yeon Gae Suwen was completely different from that of the lower class. They looked no different from the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the ordinary people of Goguryeo, they are like Bodhisattvas and gods.

They are simply two extremes.

Yeon Gaesumun gently lay back.

He nodded vigorously.

"That's right, nothing will happen!"

"Back then, my father was able to defeat the Great Sui Dynasty. If I, the king, took advantage of Great Yan, there would never be any accidents."

"Haha, okay, okay! After the pressure is released this time, the people will not make trouble anymore, and they no longer have the ability. Okay, okay!"

Yeon Gaesumun picked up the wine glass again and enjoyed the gentle countryside.

….….….….….….
Datang.

Chong County.

This is the northeasternmost county in Hebei Province. Naturally, it is also the northeasternmost county in Datang.

Here, there is also a military center where the Tang Dynasty defended Goguryeo.

The King of Hejian, Li Xiaogong, has been arriving here for several days with a pair of close followers.

"Report! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is something moving over there in Goguryeo!"

At this time, Li Xiaogong and a group of generals were watching the sand table and deducing the upcoming war between Dayan and Goguryeo.

At this moment, a scout rushed in. Li Xiaogong looked up.

All the generals also raised their heads.

"Say." Li Xiaogong said solemnly.

"Reporting to the prince, Goguryeo has begun to move north."

"The gathered armies from all over the place are all rushing towards Liaodong City. It is estimated from various camps that the Goguryeo army this time will number almost 400,000 by the time it reaches Liaodong City!"

"Because now, there are still people from Goguryeo from all over the country who are going to follow the army and join the army."

"According to their movement speed, it is estimated that... they will be able to reach Liaodong City in five or six days."

The scout said hurriedly.

Li Xiaogong nodded slightly when he heard this.

He waved.

"Understood, let's go down."

The scouts retreated.

"Your Majesty, something is really going to happen this time in Great Yan. An army of 400,000, tsk tsk tsk... Goguryeo is really fierce."

"Not necessarily? Have you forgotten that the Turks attacked Yanyun City?"

"Huh? This...that's true, but after all, Yanyun City was the former capital of Great Yan. Who knows what Liaodong City's defensive capabilities will be like?"

"Yes, and Goguryeo's dispatch of troops this time was so sudden. I wonder if Dayan knows about it?"

"......."

Everyone was talking about it.

Li Xiaogong looked at the sand table in front of him and pursed his lips slightly.

"What you said makes sense. I can't even understand this battle."

"It can be said that all of these Goguryeo people are full of passion. It's hard to say what the outcome will be."

"After all, I haven't heard of any reinforcements from Liaodong City recently."

Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded.

"But..." Li Xiaogong glanced at the many generals around him and laughed: "But this time it has nothing to do with us. No matter how they fight, we in the Tang Dynasty will gain the most."

"What I hope most is that I can see both sides getting anxious. Hahaha, only in this way can I, the Tang Dynasty, gain the greatest benefits."

Li Xiaogong's voice was extremely relaxed.

The other lieutenants also laughed when they heard this.

indeed!

This time, it has nothing to do with them.

Hehehe….
Fight, fight!
As Li Xiaogong said, it would be better to fill in both parties' financial resources.

In the military camp,
The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and informal.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

They all want to have a game and the fisherman will benefit!

This time, no matter what the outcome is, the biggest winner has to be Datang.

This result can be completely determined.

….….….….….….
Liaodong City.

Shipyard.

There was no need for Li Kuan to keep an eye on the hot air balloon.

After returning from training outside the city that day, Xin Qiji moved directly to the machinery factory to live. He wanted to personally urge the machinery factory to quickly produce hot air balloons.

so,

Now the number of hot air balloons is quickly approaching one hundred.

With an air force of five hundred, almost every group can have a hot air balloon.

After Li Kuan briefly gave them the instructions, Zheng Chenggong took him to the shipyard.

The air force began to take off.

But the navy didn't even have a decent warship, which really made him crazy and anxious.

Although His Majesty has given them a complete set of shipbuilding technology and blueprints, various problems have caused them to stumble.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is our shipyard."

"However, we have tried our best, but we still can't put the steam engine in. Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"It's easy for us to build ordinary warships, but no matter how big these warships are, they still require manpower."

"As long as we use manpower, there will be a lot of inconveniences and we will not be able to truly move towards a modern navy."

Zheng Chenggong said anxiously.

The shipyard is huge.

This shipyard is located on the edge of the Liao River outside Liaodong City.

The water of the Liaohe River is very good, extremely stable, and very deep. It finally merges into the Bohai Bay, making it a dream location for shipyards.

Naturally, Dayan's shipyard was built here.

Li Kuan looked at the ships at the shipyard on the edge of the Liao River and frowned.

Countless craftsmen are busy.

But, their method….
Li Kuan shook his head.

Immediately, the faces of Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Yisao and Zheng He who followed immediately became tense.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Zheng Chenggong asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" Qi Jiguang was also quite nervous.

After all, this shipyard is his industry in Liaodong City, and it also has an advantage that no other place in Dayan has.

Therefore,
Qi Jiguang was also very concerned about the shipyard.

"Is the output of your steel plant in Liaodong City very low?"

Li Kuan opened his mouth and asked.

"what?"

Qi Jiguang was a little confused.

Zheng Chenggong and the others were also a little confused.

Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about the steel mill? Aren't you talking about the shipyard?
but,

Since Li Kuan asked, Qi Jiguang didn't dare not answer.

He quickly bowed, thought for a moment, and then reported: "Your Majesty, the steel factory in Liaodong City is producing smoothly, and the output is not small."

"The iron ore and coal mines around Liaodong City are very rich, and there is also a lot of oil."

"So, the steel plant's production is not weak at all. In terms of output, it is even on par with Yanyun City."

Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice.

Li Kuan nodded, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the various ships around him.

"Then, why are you so fussy about building a ship?"

"Why haven't I seen a ship made entirely of steel?"

"It should be clear from the ship structure diagram I gave you, right? Those materials are all made of steel, but the ship that uses the most iron in your shipyard only has 1/4 steel, and the rest is still wood. ,How is this going?"

Li Kuan looked at Zheng Chenggong and asked.

The voice is calm.

However, the calmer the voice is at this time, the more terrifying it is.

The corners of Zheng Chenggong's mouth twitched.

Qi Jiguang's palms were also sweating.

Zheng Yisao and Zheng He were even more afraid to express their anger.

The people who followed also lowered their heads.

Your Majesty, it seems you are angry...
