Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 355

At this moment, Qin Hao still didn't know that he had been praised by Li Shimin inexplicably, and that he had made a big contribution. He was worrying about what to do next.

All the battles that can be fought on the water have been fought. Now Goguryeo and Baekje don't even think about launching a sampan. If their navy is only responsible for transporting supplies, it seems that we are a bit too cowardly.

So Qin Hao opened the map and looked at the harassment targets along the coast, but couldn't make up his mind where to go. This guy only wanted to bully people, and he was not willing to take any risks.

Pei Xingjian hesitated and said, "Why don't we ask the saint for instructions? I heard that the saint has arrived."

Qin Hao immediately waved his hand and refused. Li Shimin's war is based on the overall situation. Compared with the fact that he didn't care about the war damage at all, he finally took advantage of the barrier of the vast sea to let himself move freely. Do he have to find fault for himself?The ghost knows where Li Shimin will let him fight. If he is asked to land directly from Shicheng to fight Pyongyang, what will he do or not?

In fact, he originally planned to go to Liaohe to call 666 for Li Ji, but he didn't expect him to be so fierce that he broke the Great Wall directly. This sudden critical attack completely messed up the battle situation west of the Yalu River. Goguryeo defended The rhythm of the game was completely broken, which is of course a good thing for Datang, but Qin Hao was a little afraid to take this muddy water.

In the end, Qin Hao resisted all opinions and chose to take a stroll along the Yalu River instead of going to Shabei City or the Pyongyang area.

why?Because there is no need to go ashore, even if they are so cowardly, even if they are so shameless, the worst result of strolling around can also hurt their momentum, so why not do it.

This is really not aimless, because the battle on the front line is really smooth, Qin Hao pondered, the Yalu River line of defense may not be defeated, what if it passes?

Going to show off by yourself, harassing and harassing from time to time, if it can slow down their speed of building a defense line, wouldn't that be a great achievement.

There are basically three lines of defense in the entire Goguryeo, one is the Liaohe Great Wall defense line, the second is the Yalu River Changbai Mountain defense line, and the third is the Pyongyang defense line of their Wangcheng generation.

Among them, the vicinity of Pyongyang is full of plains, and there is no danger to defend except for a Datong River. It can be said that as long as the Yalu River is broken, Goguryeo will not be far from the destruction of the country.

If this powerful neighbor can be destroyed in a single battle, from now on, the Heavenly Power of Datang will be greater than before, and then Kim Jin Deok of Silla will naturally have no room for calculation.

In fact, the battle on the front line was actually smoother than Qin Hao imagined. Li Shimin had actually issued a strict order not to allow Qin Hao to go ashore to preserve his strength, but the order had not yet reached him because of poor communication in the vast sea.

Because of Li Shimin's arrival, the morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow, and Gao Yanshou defended the new city. It was quite difficult for a while, but Li Shimin decided to keep Xue Wanche and continue to attack.

This is very risky. The land supply base of the army is in Youzhou, and the new city just happens to be stuck on the main supply road and nailed here like a nail. go ahead.

If the logistics were cut off, the consequences would be unimaginable. Li Shimin's courage in using troops is really incomparable.

Of course, Li Shimin was bold, not stupid. After bypassing the new city, his own Chinese army marched towards the first generation of Chifeng in a regular manner, sniping Gao Huizhen's return aid, but Li Daozong led all the Hu cavalry to rush south to attack Shabei City.

The geographic location of Shabei City is equivalent to Dalian Heishan in later generations, and it is one of the best outlets to the sea in the northern part of the Central Plains. As long as this place is conquered, the army's supplies and materials can be continuously transported by sea, and it will become the new Tang army. The supply base is an insurance policy. Anyway, Li Shimin knows that Qin Hao's navy is invincible.

If Qin Hao broke the sailor's capacity because of his stupidity, Li Shimin would have to kill him.

But at this time, Qin Hao, who was playing crookedly, appeared on the surface of the Yalu River swaggeringly. His style was like a leader's inspection, which made the Goguryeo soldiers on both sides of the Yalu River hate their teeth, but they were helpless.

The terrain of the Yalu River is connected by mountains and rivers. The endless Changbai Mountains almost block the road from north to south. There are only two trails to attack from the land. It is not much better than Sichuan and Sichuan. It can be called a natural barrier.

When Qin Hao arrived here, there were only [-] defenders on both sides of the Yalu River, and they were stepping up the construction of fortifications. Judging by the posture, they wished they could just build a sword gate and close it out.

This terrain is far more dangerous than the man-made Great Wall of the Liaohe River. If Goguryeo had decided to abandon the land west of the Yalu River from the very beginning, and build the Great Wall built by the whole country's manpower and material resources here, the Tang army would not know how many years it would take to conquer it. .

It's a pity that there is no if. With Goguryeo's current national strength, building another Great Wall is tantamount to a dream. All they can do now is to build a few more archery towers.

Gao Jianwu is also a ruthless man. After the Great Wall was broken, he soon realized that the west of the Yalu River must not be protected. Although there are still scattered hundreds of thousands of troops, this is how war is. You can only divide your troops and stick to it, and you will break them one by one sooner or later. This is the same reason that once Datong was broken in the Ming Dynasty, you could only think about defending Yanjing.

"Brother, it seems that they are planning to build archery towers on the top of the mountain. Judging by the posture, there may be no less than five hundred towers. What should we do, come on?"

"Fart, it seems that the saints are beating hard. Look at the layout of Changbai Mountain. It's life-threatening. Listen to me. I don't care about the arrow towers on the mountain. I will burn the fortifications on both sides of the river first."

Now, the Goguryeo defenders west of the Yalu River have virtually changed their task from retreating to blocking the enemy, buying time so that they can reorganize the national army and make preparations on the Yalu River defense line.

A large part of the reason why Li Shimin bypassed the new city was because of this. Of course, more soldiers were stimulated by the general coupons everywhere.

Li Shimin didn't dare to let them open the door this time. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 8000 million general-purpose coupons in the entire Goguryeo territory. If these general-purpose coupons are snatched back to Datang, Datang can't stand it.

As a result, only [-]% of the general vouchers that the soldiers robbed could be taken away in their pockets, and the rest were all handed over to the court. In fact, only about [-]% of the general coupons were in their hands, which was similar to Niu Jinda's situation. Although you can't get rich, but if you behave bravely, you can get your pension out of no problem.

Because of this, what Tang Jun fought was called an active one. Originally, as the offensive side, they should have clenched a fist and focused on attacking one by one to defeat them, but the soldiers did not do it. I can't hold back any more.

No, apart from Xue Wanche's troops besieging Xincheng and Li Shimin's army in Baiyan City, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops scattered everywhere in a hurry. Except for a few big cities, the entire west of the Yalu River was already a piece of scorched earth.
