Datang first village

Chapter 642 The Prestige of the Army

Li Jing knew that Niu Jinda would do his best, but this battle could only be given to Niu Jinda.Just because Niu Jinda stayed here in Liaocheng for a year, ran the business once, trained the soldiers hard for a year, and went to see Anshi City from a distance for a whole year, Li Jing had no way to choose another one. The general goes to battle.

"Tuli Khan, take the troops from the headquarters and sweep the south of Ping'an City!"

"King of Khitan, take your troops to sweep north of Ping'an City!"

"Mohe Khan, take your troops and horses to sweep away all the enemies between Ping'an City and Wunvshan City."

"The Habayashi Army and the Xuanjia Army have [-] elite cavalry. Liao City rests for a day. Two days later, they send troops to sweep Shenshui north and south, and reach Baishan directly!"

"The rest of the armies will follow the commander-in-chief's army! All the armies must be ordered to send troops in half an hour!"

Li Jing struck ruthlessly, and instead of waiting for another day, he let the troops out half an hour later.Jian'an is only [-] miles away from Dandong, but the [-] miles is not a straight road, and it will take at least four days for large troops to advance.

After giving all the orders, Li Jing arranged for someone to send a telegram to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing was accepting the surrender of the two cities and one port of Dandong. After receiving the telegram, Li Yuanxing ordered: "Wu Bin, concentrate all the incendiary bombs on the two airships on the Zhenyuan, and you go and blow up the city wall of Anshi City. Don't let Niu Jinda go." Desperate."

"The last general apologizes!" Wu Bin did not carry out Li Yuanxing's order.

"What sin?"

"Your Highness, as a general, you have been ordered to fight with all your strength. If you have to wait for His Highness's assistance when you encounter some difficulties, then you will have no face to walk in front of the generals. General Niu fought Goguryeo four times, and he met Ulchimoon De, this battle is bound to be tragic, but this battle must be fought, and it is my Tang's military might."

Li Yuanxing played with the lighter, thinking about Wu Bin's words.

Wu Bin continued: "Your Highness, the last general also read the order. I wonder if the last general has already dealt with the funeral at this time. I am a general of the Tang Dynasty, and I have iron bones. What's more, there are eight siege soldiers in Jian'an City. City heavy artillery, [-] fire thunders, [-] fire crows, and [-] fire swallows."

Li Yuanxing still didn't answer, but was still thinking.

"Your Highness, it is about the honor of our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. The last general dares to ask His Highness to take back the order."

"Forget it, I'll listen to you this time. But Wu Bin, you have to know that if you can easily take down the enemy, it is definitely better to fight to the death. This king listened to you, not because of the glory you said, but because of the military Wei. If flying boats are needed for all sieges, then without flying boats, people in the world will not be afraid of our Tang Dynasty. What General Niu showed was the military might of our Tang army, so this king withdrew his order!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "General Yuchi will arrive at night, if the envoys want to watch the battle of An City tomorrow, you can take them to watch the battle."

"Order!"

Naturally, there is no problem in watching the battle, and Wu Bin can't say anything.

Datong River Estuary and Dandong are all inland seas of the Bohai Sea, and sailing along the coastline will not get lost. Just be careful of the reefs to ensure safety. [-]% of the shells are fired, [-]% of the coal is burned, and all the vacated cabins are empty. Used to hold the spoils, this time Yu Chigong returned with a full reward.

Yu Chigong, who surrendered in Dandong City, was not worried, the huge flying boat was in the air, whoever dared to dissatisfy in the slightest, the two incendiary bombs guaranteed to make them obedient.

It was already late at night when Yu Chigong arrived in Dandong, less than five hundred miles by sea, it took an hour for Li Yuanxing's flying boat, but it took eight hours for Yuchigong's boat. The current speed calculation is about ten knots.

Arriving at Dandong Port late at night, there are already former Sui generals waiting to pick up the ship.

"Where is His Royal Highness King Qin?" Yu Chigong asked anxiously before getting off the boat.

"Meeting the surrendered Goguryeo people in Dandong City seems to be preparing to set off overnight to inspect the battle of Anshi City!" The surrendered general is also a person of some status, and knows some military arrangements that are not classified.

It's been a tiring day, and His Royal Highness Qin Wang is not tired, so aren't those envoys tired?

Who of the envoys can fall asleep, as soon as they close their eyes, they will see the battle of Pyongyang during the day, and they will be so scared that they will sweat coldly.Not to mention sleeping, even being alone for a while will feel fear.

"Don't worry, general. Although we are Han Chinese in the two cities and one port, there are also many old Goguryeo tribes. After all, we have been in Goguryeo for seven or eight years, so we naturally have some influence."

Yu Chigong gave the other party a bottle of wine with him, and then asked, "When the Goguryeo people handed you over, didn't you think of resisting?"

"Why rebel, the Goguryeo people can't tolerate us. Rebellion is a death. No one has a family in seven or eight years here. Datang wants us to die, and there is no need to engage in these tricks. We just made some tricks when we left. , if the Tang Dynasty can tolerate us, these hands and feet are the knives stabbed by us homeless people on the Goguryeo people; if the Tang Dynasty cannot tolerate us, at least we will die in the Central Plains, and we will not be buried in a foreign land!"

Yu Chigong patted the other person's chest, speaking of this, there is really nothing to say.

Li Yuanxing was not present.

Had he been there, he would have believed it 100%.

The homesickness of Chinese people has lasted for 5000 years.

Li Yuanxing didn't sleep for long that night, and at five o'clock in the morning, the two airships set sail again.It's just that Yu Chigong's fleet can't move, they don't have enough coal to go back to Laizhou, and Dandong Port has no coal for them to use.

With Dandong guarded by red blood guards, Li Yuanxing feels at ease.

In the ninth year of the first emperor's calendar 840, the second year of Zhenguan, the morning of the third day of April.

Niu Jinda's [-] soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and [-] Mohe elite cavalry have already lined up in Anshi City.Niu Jinda gave Niu Jinda four of the eight heavy cannons, twenty plus Shenhuo Flying Crows, and a thousand Fireflying Swallows.This is the configuration given by Yaozhou, so the military department also gave [-] bed crossbows and [-] foot crossbows.

The huge flying boat hovered on both sides of Anshi City, and the flags hanging on the boat were sky blue.

Eulji Wende in Anshi City looked at the huge flying boat and didn't know what it was?An inexplicable sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart, but Niu Jinda knew clearly that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was watching him from the flying boat, and the hanging of the blue flag meant that the flying boat would not fight, but just watched from a distance.

Niu Jinda is a general, one rank lower than Cheng Motou.

This is also the first time he led the army alone in Datang, but he has deduced hundreds of times in his mind about Anshicheng. He has imagined countless ways to attack, and he has also imagined how Ulji Wende will use to defend. , Now, this war is just around the corner, all you need is an order from yourself.

With a wave of his left hand, Niu Jinda signaled the whole army to prepare for battle, and then left alone.

Li Yuanxing thought to himself, damn it, is it still a set of friendships, after a round of heavy artillery, he will release a hundred flying crows to blow up half of his city wall first.

But who would have thought that Li Yuan would slap his butt: "Okay, you are worthy of being my general of the Tang Dynasty!"

That's right!

Li Yuanxing reminded himself once again that he is now in Datang.Datang has the customs of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has the moral standards of the Tang Dynasty.

When the two armies are at war, it is normal for the commander to have a drink face to face. This is etiquette.

According to the ancient etiquette, the etiquette is followed by soldiers.

"Father, it seems that my son is not polite, and he strikes when he sees an enemy. Is this breaking the rules?" Li Yuanxing asked tentatively. .

Li Yuan shook his head: "No need for Wulang, you are declaring war when you send troops. As the king of Tang, no one is qualified to talk face to face with you on the battlefield. Besides, it is usually vanguard generals who do this kind of thing. Wulang can hear that Did Li Yaoshi run to the front of the battlefield and talk to the enemy's coach first? Usually, by the time the coach meets, one side has already lost."

Li Yuanxing nodded, as if he understood, but not completely.

"So, Datang Niu Jinda. You are a shameless villain of Goguryeo. You broke your promise with my Datang, humiliated my Datang King Qin, and humiliated my Datang. You, Ulji Mundeok, are also a hero in general, and now you are here to persuade you to surrender. A certain I don't like to talk nonsense, and I won't say things that have nothing to do with this battle, so you can rest assured, this battle is only for the land battle, and Xiaoxiao'an City doesn't need my Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty to personally do it, is it a surrender, is it a war?"

Is this persuasion?

At least the soldiers behind Niu Jinda who heard these words did not think it was persuasion.

Li Yuanxing couldn't hear, and he didn't know what Niu Jinda said.

Ulchi Wende walked up to the city wall, took a bow, and shot an arrow in front of Niu Jinda.Seeing the arrow approaching, Niu Jinda didn't blink, nor did he hide, he just reached out and grabbed the arrow, turned around and shouted: "Ulji Wende, don't die, after you take Anshi, you still have something to say." you say."

After finishing speaking, Niu Jinjin pulled the horse and turned back.

The drums sounded, and all the infantry marched three steps forward in an orderly manner, shouting at the same time, kill!

The war has just begun, and Niu Jinda is doing everything he can to improve the morale of the soldiers.Waving the flag again, [-] Mohe cavalry marched out, slowly circled around Anshi City, and shot a few scattered arrows.This is not a siege, nor is it a demonstration, just to warm up the horses and get the cavalry into the rhythm of the battle.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

In the eyes of people who know the way, Tang Jun's actions clearly know how elite this is.

The infantry marches in unison, moves in unison, and maintains formation.This is not something that a coach can do. It requires the on-the-spot command of officers at every level, as well as the coordination of mutual cooperation.As for the cavalry, just by looking at the formation of the cavalry, you can tell how elite this cavalry is.

Niu Jinda felt his heart beat faster.

This game is not only about winning, but also about winning. His Highness Qin Wang in the air is watching, and the envoys of all nations are also watching. (To be continued.)
