Ji Tang

Chapter 869 I want a defeat that will not be forgotten
"I won't leave, even if I die in battle. I have nothing to worry about since Cheng Qian is here in the court."

"His Majesty!"

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji knelt down in the snow, with a look of misery on his face, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, any one of us can die, but you can't!"

"Chengqian can't completely support the Tang Dynasty. Once the country knows about our affairs, they will definitely not be peaceful. Even though they have weakened a lot under His Majesty's suppression in recent years, I know that they are just dormant. It’s just that, once the sky changes, it will be an earth-shattering event!”

"Does Your Majesty hope that I will die as Emperor Tang Dynasty?"

At this time, Fang Xuanling also trembled and said: "Your Majesty, you have to leave no matter what, and I will fight to the death for Your Majesty."

Then everyone looked at Yuchi Gong, and saw that both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling bowed respectfully and said: "Jingde, you are the only one here who can escort His Majesty out safely. I will be the general after dawn." Fight a way out, and you must lead His Majesty out alive."

Yuchi Jingde did not refuse, but nodded silently.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Yuchi Gong and the others still believed that it would be great if Ji Song was here. With his martial arts, it would not be difficult to lead His Majesty out.

but now.
They shook their heads. Now the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and now the army is blocked in the mountain road. Even if it comes, it will not be able to get through temporarily.

"I regret it. If I had listened to Ji Song's advice and retreated earlier, I wouldn't have been in this situation."

Li Shimin beat his chest and stamped his feet. Ji Song initially persuaded him to withdraw early, but he refused on the grounds that he had not done all his work. Now it seems that Ji Song is looking far ahead!

Now the Goguryeo people have become mourning soldiers. The king has been captured and the country has been destroyed. Seeing that the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, they must either surrender or fight to the death!
Obviously they chose the latter. They abandoned Anshi City and launched an incredibly desperate charge towards the Tang Army!

Yeon Gaesumun, no one thought that this hero who was about to die would choose the ending of death.

"Kill!"

Suddenly there was a cry of killing from the bottom of the mountain. Li Shimin looked quickly and saw in the firelight that the Tang army suddenly broke out for no apparent reason and drove back the unwilling Goguryeo people.

Somehow, after this offensive was defeated, the Goguryeo people did not immediately launch a new offensive as before, but slowly retreated!
"what happened?"

Everyone was surprised. Just when they were confused, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out from the direction of the mountain road!

Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "It's our army, Your Majesty. It should be that a large force of our army has broken out."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

But before everyone could be happy, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Don't count on them. Isn't everyone unclear about the situation on the mountain road?"

"How can it be so easy to break through?"

"It must be an offensive launched by a small group of soldiers to attract the Goguryeo people. Although it can involve the Goguryeo army, that's all it can do!"

Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, the sound on the other side gradually died out until it was inaudible!

As we all know, the soldiers who broke out may be...
As the things on the mountain path disappeared, the Goguryeo people at the foot of the hill prepared to launch a new offensive. But just when they made a move, there was another movement on the mountain path. This time the movement was bigger than the last time.

Everyone who was ready to continue fighting looked at each other, wondering what was going on?Could it be that another soldier broke through?

But how could such a coincidence happen?
"The minister knows!"

Du Ruhui slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we are saved!"

Li Shimin wondered: "What did Keming see?"

"Yes, this should be Li Ji's intention. He knew that it would not be easy for the army to break through the blockade of the mountain road and the Goguryeo people!"

"Even if it is possible, it cannot be done in a short time. The movement just now should be that Li Ji has found a trail, but he cannot send out a large number of soldiers every time."

"In order to alleviate His Majesty's crisis, he must have sent dead soldiers to launch an offensive against Goguryeo's garrison. There were not many Goguryeo people left on the mountain road, and there were many casualties in the deadly battle with our army before. When they moved there, Yuan Gai In order to prevent them from truly breaking through, Su Wen must send a large army to suppress them!"

"Because once Li Ji and the others come out, with the strength of our army, tens of thousands of them can be wiped out with just a few clicks, so he needs to constantly prevent Li Ji and the others from coming out."

Li Shimin understood after hearing this. He looked at each other with Yuchi Gong and the two of them actually said in tacit understanding: "Advancing tactics?"

Du Ruhui was talking enthusiastically, but he heard some fueling tactics?
"What fueling tactics? Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Facing Du Ruhui's confusion, Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Keming doesn't need to worry about it. This is just a funny thing he told Ji Song when he was chatting with him. Yuchi and Li Ji were also present at the time."

He said with some emotion: "When I heard such tactics, I laughed at Ji Song for his whims. How could there be such a tactic of killing people?"

"But what I saw today is that I understand that there is no immutable truth in this world. The same goes for tactics. They vary according to local conditions, people, and the weather."

Just as they were talking, the sound on the other side of the mountain road gradually disappeared, but within a stick of incense, it started ringing again!
Sure, this was the tactic they used to tease Ji.

How smart is Du Ruhui?
After hearing what the emperor said, combined with the current situation, I immediately understood what the fueling tactic is!

"The tactic of adding fuel, the tactic of adding fuel, is just like its name. The key lies in the word "add fuel". Although it cannot be as grand as the waves crashing on the shore, it is better than the continuous and full of stamina, but it is also important for The psychology of soldiers is also a huge test!"

"Knowing that there is a mortal enemy ahead, you can launch a continuous offensive. What kind of will is this?"

Yes, everyone knows that this tactic is a great test for the army, especially for the psychology of the soldiers and generals!

Without an iron will, without the decisiveness to go forward and without the heart of not retreating knowing death, this tactic is a tactic that will kill the enemy.

But today Li Ji had a sudden idea and wanted to decisively use this unproven tactic in such a desperate situation.This was a gamble, but it was also Li Ji's decisiveness.

Soldiers, generals, will, determination, and timing are all indispensable!

Looking down the mountain, the Goguryeo people were a little commotion at this time, as if they were hesitating. They didn't know whether to go and stop the army in the mountain road, or continue to attack the hill.
If they don't stop the Tang army from breaking out, once more come out, it won't be about them besieging the Tang army, but how many of them will be left.

But if they were to stop it, they would inevitably reduce the number of troops besieging the hill.Can they, who originally had a slight advantage, take down the hill in a short time?
They have been fighting for two or three hours since the afternoon. After such a long battle, both the Goguryeo people and the Tang army were extremely exhausted!
In the past, it was possible to boost morale under advantageous circumstances and launch an offensive on the hill where Emperor Tang was located!

but now.
Anyone who understands clearly understands that if Tang Ju is not completely blocked on the mountain road and more troops are released to encircle and suppress the mountain, it is impossible to do anything to Emperor Tang in a short time.

There are still about [-] Tang troops around the hill, but they still attack from their backs. Once they don't have the advantage in numbers, how can they fight this battle?
"Hahaha, God, I will never stop Li Shimin!" After thinking about the matter, Li Shimin burst into laughter!

I thought it would be a fatal outcome, but I didn't expect that Li Ji would not, or rather, a ridiculous tactic that they laughed at at the beginning be broken!

At this time, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Gong all felt like they were surviving a disaster!
Thinking of Ji Song, Yu Chigong said: "Your Majesty, now we must do everything we can to support it. Now Ji Song must rush here non-stop. In addition, we are still a naval fleet. There can be at least [-] soldiers on board. There are Without these people, we still have a chance, you must not give up!"

Changsun Wuji also quickly said: "Yes, there are soldiers on the other side of the Liao River. When the naval fleet goes upstream and takes the army across the river, we can make a complete comeback."

"His Majesty!"

Du Ruhui also said: "You have to believe in your minister. Hao Jinhou always does things unexpectedly and can always make the impossible possible. You have to believe that he can do the same this time and never give up!"

Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he raised his head and looked at the gloomy night sky. He seemed to see Ji Song galloping on his horse in the wind and snow, rushing towards this side crazily!

Yes, I still have loyal ministers, and they will definitely not let me down.

At this point, even though he knew that Ji Song would most likely not arrive, outside of his rationality, he still secretly hoped for a miracle to happen, because he himself was a miracle!
Just when Li Shimin was rejoicing, Goguryeo was in the Chinese army's tent at the foot of the hill.

Different from the outside, at this time, more than ten braziers in the tent were burning with hot flames, but even so, a figure with a face that looked like an evil ghost and a haggard body was still covered with a thick quilt outside in the main seat!
Under his hands, an old man with disheveled and gray hair sat there silently, as if dead!
If anyone knew him, they would be shocked. Isn't this the former lord of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun?

"Let the soldiers suspend the offensive!"

There was a dry sound coming from above, like the sound made after something broke the throat!

"Don't be inseparable!"

Many generals under the tent exclaimed.

"We can't withdraw. Once the Tang army is given a chance to breathe, it will be difficult for us to kill Li Shimin!"

"Yes, we can't withdraw."

A withered hand stretched out from the quilt, like the claws of an evil spirit, only skin and bones remained.

Everyone trembled when they saw this hand, and their voices gradually weakened until they were inaudible!
"Go! Prepare to fight to the death with the Tang army tomorrow. Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. All the horses will be killed. The soldiers will be given hot soup to drink. All the food will be taken out to give the soldiers a good meal. "

"Go! All go!"

Everyone looked at each other in shock, especially when they saw the sunken eye sockets, they completely lost the courage to resist!

"I have sent your family members to a safe place. No matter what happens after tomorrow, you just kill me. I hope my head can let you vent your anger!"

The generals who were about to leave couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. If their family members were not still under the control of the other party, they would have killed this inhuman thing long ago.

Finally, he looked at him without saying a word, like a dead general, gritting his teeth and leaving the camp!

After everyone left, only Yuan Gaisuwen and Yang Wanchun were left in the camp.

"You have completely ruined Goguryeo. You are a sinner of Goguryeo and will go to hell."

Ding Ling clang!

As soon as Yang Wanchun spoke, the iron chain under his body was exposed. If you look closely, you will find that his legs have been deformed, and his right leg is bending forward unexpectedly.

Yang Wanchun looked at his legs and smiled miserably. He didn't expect that he had been loyal to Goguryeo all his life and ended up like this.

He is not afraid of enemies on the surface. Yang Guang's millions of troops could not make him afraid at first, and now Li Shimin has not moved him either.

But the person in front of him was not a human, a ghost or not, but it frightened him.

Thousands of soldiers and family members who refused to join him were killed by this demon. After digging tunnels for tens of thousands of innocent people in the inner city of Anshi, in order to gain just a few days, he actually ordered the massacre of the city.

It is simply inhumane and can no longer be called human.

He looked down upon power, saw through fame and fortune, and even saw through life and death, but in the end he misjudged human nature!
Who would have thought that his confidant who had been following him for decades would turn out to be an undercover agent of the Yuan family. He had been lurking for more than 20 years, but once he rebelled, he would be trapped in a place of no return!
"Sinner? Haha, sinner?"

Yeon Gaesowun seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.

"Cough! Cough!"

It wasn't until he coughed up blood that he became quiet.

"I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore!"

At this time, he was like a monk who had seen through the world, and whispered: "The crowd looked for him a thousand times, but suddenly I looked back, and that person was in a dimly lit place... That person was in a dimly lit place."

"Xunxunxunxun, my life is so ridiculous, so ridiculous!"

"This is a poem composed by Jisong, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, when he was young. It is a new style that has been popular for a long time."

"The Tang Dynasty was rich in resources and abundant in talents. A man who was more of a scholar than a general became a Marquis of Wu who was respected by everyone."

He looked at the top of the tent with dull eyes and murmured: "Failed, completely defeated this time."

Yang Wanchun did not laugh at him at this time, but asked doubtfully: "Why did you let the soldiers die when you knew you were going to lose?"

Yeon Gaesumun looked at Yang Wanchun and said with a smile: "Death? No, no, no, I don't think so."

Like a believer, he said crazily: "This is not to send someone to death. This is to give the people of Goguryeo a thunder. It is like the gunpowder of the Tang army. It doesn't explode unless it explodes. Once it explodes, it will be earth-shattering!"

"Instead of being doomed to failure, it is better to exchange for a big defeat, a defeat that no one will forget, and also the last roar of the Goguryeo people. He may not be able to bring anything to people, and may even usher in the failure of the Tang people Butcher's knife. But the Goguryeo people will remember this great defeat and I, Yeon Gaesumun, will remember this battle forever unless everyone dies."

"Forever. Forever"
