Ji Tang

Chapter 846
Just when the Tang Dynasty was preparing to advance with great success, on the small island in the north of the battlefield, shouts of killing broke through the clouds, and even the birds quietly stayed away from this place that frightened them.

Originally, this was an uninhabited island, where fishermen would stop to rest when they were fishing.But since January before, there have been a steady stream of ships carrying a large number of soldiers of different colors landing here.

What follows is the non-stop shouting of killing and training. Anyone who comes near this place will be detained. Although their lives are not in danger, they are still frightened and panicked all day long!

On a high ridge on the island, a row of simple camps appeared here.

Liu Rengui, Ji Qing, Wang Xuance, Liu Xiancheng, and Xue Li were sitting on both sides. The one at the head was Tang Jian.

With the cultivation during this period, the soldiers were able to survive, but the others still needed some time and could only stay on Page Island temporarily.

Tinaire, Calimor and others wanted to follow them, and they were accompanied by Maya and Yin warriors wearing Tang Dynasty armor.

These warriors were warriors who fought fierce beasts in Yin. They wore strong armor on the ship and carried sharp swords. With their own bravery, the ordinary Tang Dynasty soldiers were really no match for them.

But as long as they form a military formation, they will only end up being slaughtered.

Tang Jian looked around and couldn't help but admire Ji Song's courage and decisiveness when he saw Liu Rengui.After learning that his disciples were going to attack Pingxiang, not only did they not stop them, they also sent their own navy fleet.

Also accompanying them were nearly [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. With the addition of these people, the possibility of success was increased.

There was also Wang Xuance, the young man who had made a big splash in Yindi. He confirmed that he had indeed underestimated this boy.With his sharp tongue, he was able to borrow 2 soldiers from several vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.

There are now more than [-] people in total. Let alone a sneak attack, he dares to attack directly.

"We can't wait any longer. More and more people have come here to explore in the past few days. In order not to alert others, we will land in Goguryeo in three days and catch them off guard!"

Tang Jian said in a deep voice: "As soon as Jihou came to Yingxin, Goguryeo's Yeon Gaesumun had already settled the domestic situation and had taken control of the initiative on the battlefield. In contrast, Silla and Baekje were no longer able to contain him. "

This was something that no one expected. It was too fast. In just a few months, Yeon Gaesooun completely controlled the situation in Pingxiang City, and even balanced the affairs among the various ministries of Goguryeo.

As a result, they had to leave early before they were fully prepared.

According to previous thoughts, it was best to wait for one month. By then, the coalition forces would have almost been integrated and they would have a lot of time to prepare.

But now, Yeon Gaesumun is about to go to the Liaodong battlefield, accompanied by an army of 15 people.

Once Yeon Gaesumun left, there were almost no soldiers left to fight in the area south of Changbai Mountain. This was their opportunity to show off their skills. Even if they were not ready, they had to leave.

"That's what Mr. Tang ordered. When you come here, the general manager will give orders to his subordinates. When you get here, everything will follow Mr. Tang's instructions!"

Liu Rengui took the lead in saying this, which completely relieved Tang Jian.

He was afraid that Ji Song had other plans. If he conflicted with them, he might lose this army in vain.

It seems that Ji Song has great expectations for Ji Qing and others, and they are actually asked to do such a big thing.Regardless of what Liu Rengui says, everything is subject to his own arrangements.

But everyone is smart, so just listen to what is said. This is an opportunity for his disciples to become famous, how can he give it to an outsider?
"Well, I don't know much about battle formations. This plan is all about you. I will be waiting for your good news from behind."

Fortunately, Tang Jian let go. He had never thought about seizing power. Even if he thought about it, he had to see if he could succeed!
If you fail to seize power and make yourself look like a human being inside and out, it will be a huge disgrace.

"Tang Gong, please wait patiently. We will not let you down."

Liu Rengui, Ji Qing and others looked at each other and said.

After that, several people discussed making Liu Rengui the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Xue Li as the forward commanding [-] troops to open the way for the army. Ji Qing was the commander-in-chief of the right army, Wang Xuance was the commander-in-chief of the left army, and Liu Xian became the commander-in-chief of the rear army to provide logistics and food for the army. matter!
After the things were assigned, everyone immediately got up to prepare for the departure of the army, and set off on time in the early morning three days later.

There is a river entering Goguryeo from the north. At this time, the river water is abundant and large ships can be sailed.Although it cannot penetrate Goguryeo, it can still advance three hundred miles, which greatly saves time on the road.

It also saves the effort of transporting food and grass, allowing the army to quickly enter the battlefield.

So, after everyone started to move, the whole island shook. They packed up their things and prepared to leave in three days!
"Kill!"

Five days later, outside a small town in the north of Goguryeo, Liu Rengui was riding on a horse, looking at the town with boredom that he had captured in less than half an hour.

He didn't know the name of this small city, he only knew that it was a military city, which was considered an important city in Goguryeo.

But perhaps it was because the shadow of war had not been seen here for a long time that these Goguryeo people were not vigilant. The army was ten miles away before they were discovered.

But the distance of ten miles is only the distance of a horse sprinting. Before the Goguryeo people were ready, the Tang army had already arrived at the city.

How could the local garrison be the opponent of these Tang troops?

Before the Tang Dynasty was dispatched, hundreds of Yin and Mayan warriors who came to help took the lead in attacking the city.

Although there were not many in number, they were all very brave. In just half an hour, they captured the city garrisoned by thousands of people. Liu Rengui and others had to admit that these people were born soldiers.

Brave, fearless, bloody, not afraid of life and death!

If there were tens of thousands of people, even the Tang Dynasty would have to take it seriously!
But what reassures him is that whether they are Yin warriors or Mayan warriors, they are all the best selected from millions of people, and they are all respected warriors in Yin.

With such a choice of difficulty, it’s no surprise that it has such combat power.

"It's only two hundred miles away from Pingxiang. As long as you hurry up, you can reach it in three days!"

Wang Xuance counted the distance with his fingers and said: "We have subconsciously blocked the news from the beginning. At this time, Yeon Gaesumun should have passed the Changbai Mountains, and Pyongyang still doesn't know our news!"

"According to the map Mr. sent us, we have to pass through three cities, but they are all small cities, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"However, within three days at the latest, Ping Xiang will definitely know the news of their arrival."

Wang Xuance said in a deep voice: "We must fight quickly and reach Pingxiang City before the Goguryeo people react!"

What they were fighting was a surprise battle. What was going on when they attacked cities and demolished strongholds along the way?

If they delay time or let Pingxiang City take precautions, it will be impossible for them to quickly capture Pingxiang City in a short time.Therefore, when he wanted to come, he didn't need to pay attention to these small towns and went directly to Pingxiang City.Capture the palace of Goguryeo, capture King Goyang, and destroy the Goguryeo people in one fell swoop.

Once Pingxiang City is captured, he will immediately send his troops to join forces with Mr. Yeon Gaesumun for a decisive battle at the foot of Anshi City!

According to the information they received, the vast majority of Goguryeo's troops had gathered in Liaodong at this time, and their numbers were comparable to those of the Tang Dynasty. They were led by the powerful hero Yuan Gaisuwen, and Yang Wanchun was a tough nut to crack in Anshi City. I'm afraid something is wrong with Datang!
It is now the end of July. If Goguryeo cannot hold out, or if it holds the wall and clears the country, and does not engage in a decisive battle with the Tang army, it is just delaying. Then after September, the two sides may have to change their offensive and defensive positions.

The weather in Liaodong was the most feared enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian or Yang Guang, they all suffered greatly from the climate!

Therefore, this raid must be carried out quickly and must not be delayed!

When Ji Qing heard Wang Xuance's analysis, he had to admit that he was right.They absolutely cannot afford to delay, and the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. When winter comes, it is not suitable for fighting, and they can only withdraw from Goguryeo.In this way, all the previous efforts were in vain.

"That's right, we can't waste time. Just abandon these cities and ignore them. Leave a small number of troops in the cities passing by to clear out their effective forces. As long as they don't cause trouble or affect supplies, leave the rest alone."

Liu Rengui thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"In addition, tell Liu Xiancheng to prepare dry food for ten days, and then ask him to take the fleet to the sea outside Pingxiang City to wait. Once Pingxiang City is captured, we will immediately meet with Mr. and Your Majesty."

"End this war once and for all!"

Ji Ren looked at each other, bowed in unison and said: "Yes!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and the Yin and Mayan warriors also withdrew.

These people still obeyed the rules and regulations. At first, they were aggressive and wanted to rob the civilians in the city, but since they were dealt with by Xue Li, they have become much more docile.

When all the troops gathered, Liu Rengui ordered Xue Li to lead two thousand cavalry to clear the way and clear obstacles along the way!

After that, Wang Xuance and Ji Qing led the army to clear out all resistance forces along the way.

And he himself led the remaining [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to Pingxiang quickly, catching Pingxiang by surprise!
Everything was ready, and the army quickly set off towards the south.
In Pingxiang City, King Gaoyang Gaobao was originally a clan member of the Goguryeo royal family. After Yeon Gaesumun killed King Yeongyang, he was elected as the new King of Goguryeo.

This man was timid and cowardly. Under the fierce power of Yeon Gaesumun, he not only resisted at all, but also disappointed the Goguryeo officials!
Yeon Gaesumun proclaimed himself the Goguryeo Damojili, equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty, with one person under ten thousand people, and regent of Goguryeo.

It can be said that Yuengai Suwen at this time is equivalent to Dorgon in later generations when the Qing Dynasty was founded. He had military and political power and was a true uncrowned king.

Just when the King of Goryeo was enjoying the singing and dancing at the stall where Yeon Gae So-moon was leaving for Liaodong, a heartbreaking and panicked voice sounded outside the main hall!

"It's not good, it's not good, Tang Jun. Tang Jun is coming to kill."

A panting, frightened-looking general wearing armor appeared in the hall.

He did not go to see King Gaoyang, but came to an old man and said in horror: "Mo Zhili, just now, thousands of Tang Army cavalry came and wandered outside the city, fighting the Xue Zi Banner."

The old man was Yeon Gaesumun's back-up man, and he was also the one relying on to control the situation in Pingxiang City. He was the only one who was connected with Yeon Gaesumun, and was equivalent to a deputy position.

"Don't panic, please explain clearly what's going on?"

Mo Zhili was still calm. He looked up at King Gaoyang, who had turned pale with fright, and shook his head with disdain.

Although he was a little surprised that Tang Jun appeared in Pingxiang, he was not surprised.In the former Sui Dynasty, there were people coming across the sea to protect their children, but what was the result?
Wasn't the entire army wiped out and all the results of Goguryeo's war?
Even those who were captured were living a life that was worse than pigs and dogs in Pingxiang City?
So what if it comes?Is Pingxiang City so easy to break down?

Da Mo Zhili is gone, but he is still there, and [-] elite soldiers are still there. A mere few thousand cavalry want to break the city, but I am afraid they are thinking too much.

Pingxiang City is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The outer city is high and the pool is deep. The inner city is built on a mountain and is guarded by [-] soldiers. How can anyone break it?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been a precedent for it being conquered by a foreign nation!

As for the thousands of cavalry outside the city, he believed that the Tang army lurked in from somewhere and was used to disrupt the situation in Goguryeo's rear.

But what can these thousands of cavalry do?As for the civilians outside the city?
Haha, it is their honor to sacrifice for Goguryeo!
"Come on, let's go see who is leading the army and dares to imitate Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty and attack the enemy's rear?
I just don’t know if my destiny is coming or if I am destined to go back. "

After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at the restless King Gaoyang and said, "Come, please come and have a look, too."

After saying that, he ignored Gao Baobao's frightened expression and left the hall with a smile.

Just after Mo Zhili left, a group of soldiers in armor appeared in the hall, pulled out their swords, looked at Gao Baobao, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please move!"

"presumptuous!"

The minister, who thought he was old, angrily said: "How dare you be so rude to the king? Do you still have the slightest bit of duty as a minister? This is simply the most audacious thing!"

The leading general suddenly paused and slowly turned back to look at the old guy who was angrily scolding him.

"Oh? Do you have an opinion?"

Perhaps the old minister was willing to take the risk. Regardless of the crowd's pull, he walked out of the queue tremblingly and pointed at him and said: "Yuan Gaisu Wenshi was favored by the king, his family was even more prominent, and he was a very popular minister. How dare he kill the king? Must not."

Swish!
Uh!
The old man covered his neck in disbelief. He never imagined that he would dare to kill himself, a veteran of several dynasties.
".I won't die until I die."

Until the moment he closed his eyes, he was still cursing Yeon Gaesumun, which shows how much he hates Yeongaesumun.

"You actually killed the teacher?"

"I fought with you"

After the old man died, several more people came out and tried their best, but before they could get close, they were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows.
The general looked around and said loudly: "Who else? Who else stands up?"

A needle could be heard in Nuo Da's main hall, and only the sound of King Gaoyang's teeth chattering could be heard.

"Come here, take the king to the city wall!"

Everyone watched helplessly as the king was arbitrarily escorted out of the hall. When they saw the king's desperate and pleading look, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent!
The general sneered, sheathed his sword, and left the hall with a loud laugh.
