Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 376 Victory in the First Battle
"How is it? Did the general agree?" Back at the residence, the other generals immediately asked the lieutenant what the guard meant, and they all advocated going out of the city to fight.

There is nothing better than a victory to boost morale that is at its lowest point.

They couldn't stand the provocations of the enemy troops outside the city, but they could only huddle in the city and stare blankly. The opponent had only 2000 troops.

As long as it is properly arranged, it is not a problem to defeat the opponent, and maybe this deep lone army can be eaten in one bite.

Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the Goguryeo people were never afraid, let alone dared not leave the city because of a lone army.

"He disagrees! Said it was Mo Lizhi's order, no one is allowed to leave the city without authorization, and those who disobey the order will follow the military law." The deputy general grabbed the water bottle on the table, poured himself a few mouthfuls of water, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said .

"What a coward. We have seen battles of tens of 10 people. How can we be afraid that the [-] soldiers outside the city will fail." A centurion said indignantly.

"A cowardly and incompetent guy is not qualified to be our general, and he doesn't even have the courage to face the enemy. He's a coward." Another centurion said dissatisfied.

"But it is indeed Lord Mo Lizhi's order to defend the city. If I do this, it is considered disobedience. If Lord Mo Lizhi knows, he will definitely not spare us." Another hundred people said.

His worry is not unreasonable, the Quan family is notoriously cruel, especially the previous generation, Mo Lizhi Quan Gai Suwen, he became so cruel that he even dared to kill the king of Goguryeo, what else could their family not do? .

"Don't worry, everyone! As long as we can defeat the enemy army outside the city, Master Mo Lizhi will definitely not treat us badly. If we can't defeat the enemy army..." The deputy general stopped talking at this point!
They don't need to be as straightforward as the lieutenant general said, but they can understand the meaning of the words. If they can't defeat the enemy, and Li Lizhi doesn't punish them, they will die long ago!

Anyway, either the enemy is dead or they are perishing, so there is no need for their Li Lizhi to do it.

"Okay! Then let's go and take him down now, and go out of the city to kill those Hundan gangs." The lieutenant jumped up and said.

Just do it, the lieutenant led them to the guard's residence.

They found that there were twice as many guards around the guard's residence than usual, even so, it didn't bother them.

Soon, the surrounding guards were all eliminated by them.

They broke in directly, and the guard was furious when he saw this.

"What do you want? Do you want to rebel?"

No one paid attention to him, the lieutenant general waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up immediately. The guard drew his sword angrily, swiped his sword down several soldiers, and was captured alive.

"Take the general down to rest! Take good care of him!" the lieutenant ordered.

"Yes!" The soldier replied, escorting the bound guard down.

"Send the order! Attack!" The lieutenant took over the guard's position and issued orders.

"Obey!" The generals took the order, ordered all soldiers and horses to rush out of the city.

The gate of Guiduan City was opened wide, and the [-] Goguryeo army came out, vowing to wipe out this Tang army that was showing off its might under Guiduan City, and this is the place where they were buried.

"General! The enemy has been killed!" A cavalry reported in front of Xue Rengui.

"Order! After three rounds of rapid fire, immediately retreat according to the original route!" Xue Rengui said.

"Yes!" The messenger rushed away, and the cavalry who received the order began to shoot at the Goguryeo army with bows and arrows.

They shot as they ran, and the Goguryeo army could only eat dust behind them.

"The enemy has already fled, what should we do now?" a centurion asked, the army had just left the city, and the enemy began to run away.

This made him feel like he was hitting the cotton and couldn't exert his strength.

"Chasing! But you can't leave Guiduan City for fifty miles." The lieutenant general said.

If you can't chase the opponent for fifty miles, you don't have to chase it anymore!
"Understood!" The hundred people said long, turned and left, and sent an order to chase the enemy for a hundred miles before returning, doubling the original fifty miles.

Xue Rengui led the cavalry to run ahead, shooting a few arrows at the back from time to time, and some people would fall off their horses in response.

In the Goguryeo army, there were also Khitan and Mohe tribesmen who were good at riding and shooting, and in the Tang army, there were also people who fell from horses after being hit by arrows.

The Mohe tribe is divided into Heishui, Baishan and other tribes. They are nomadic peoples living in the Northeast. They are the predecessors of the later Jurchens and the ancestors of the Manchus.

Both sides chased each other, arrows flew among them, and both sides suffered casualties.

The Tang army was well-equipped, and the Goguryeo army suffered a lot in this regard.

Seventy miles away, a Tang army of tens of thousands of people was quietly waiting for their arrival. They followed the Goguryeo scouts and came here to set up an ambush after the last investigation.

"Report to the Guardian, the enemy has entered our encirclement." The scout knelt in front of Cheng Mingzhen and said.

"Send the order! Close the encirclement immediately! Wipe out the enemy army." Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed, basically shouting with a roar.

"No!" The messenger rushed out.

"Woo~woo~" The battle horn sounded, and the Tang army immediately encircled the Goguryeo army, vowing to destroy them.

"All the soldiers come back with me!" Xue Rengui tightened his reins and shouted, and the cavalry turned around and followed Xue Rengui back.

"Not good! We have been tricked! Get out!" Goguryeo generals were shocked!They never thought that this would be the result.

It's not that there are no traces of the enemy in a radius of [-], but how did the enemy appear within [-] miles from Guiduan City.

They don't have time to think about this issue now, they just want to break out of the encirclement.

Naturally, Cheng Mingzhen and others couldn't let the biting fish escape. Under the siege of the army, no one broke out of the encirclement.

To get rid of this Goguryeo army, it will be easy to take Guiduancheng. Who told them to send out the defenders to encircle and suppress Xue Rengui.

On the top of Guiduan City, Xue Rengui and Cheng Mingzhen looked into the distance.

"Immediately hurry up to [-] miles! Report this battle to Your Majesty!" Cheng Mingzhen said to Xue Rengui.

"That's exactly what I mean!" Xue Rengui said.

For the first victory in this battle, it is natural to report the good news to the imperial court!
The messenger galloped towards Chang'an on a fast horse, and a few days later, he conveyed the good news to Li Chengqian.

"Everyone! General Xue and Cheng Duhu sent people to bring us good news! Our army has won the first battle of this Eastern Expedition." Wang Quan said.

"Bring it to me and have a look!" Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard that!

Wang Quan immediately handed over the good news to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian took it and couldn't wait to open it.

After reading it, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Okay! In this battle, our army not only captured Guiduan City in Goguryeo, but also beheaded more than [-] enemy troops and captured hundreds of people."

"Congratulations everyone! Congratulations everyone! General Xue and Cheng Duhu have lived up to everyone's expectations, and the elimination of Goguryeo is just around the corner." Wang Quan laughed.

"Goguryeo's demise is only a matter of time, but it's too early for you to congratulate now." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Isn't this my congratulations in advance! It's not early at all. Goguryeo's demise is only a matter of time, and everyone will surely become a wise king through the ages." Wang Quan said.
