Chapter 602 Eleven Sweeps
(Thanks to Olytis, Sky No. 9 for its monthly ticket support, thank you. Most of the time, there is one more at 8 pm!
Yue Lizhi was only twelve years old, but she did not cry and never shed half of tears. Although Yue Lizhi was young, she was born as a princess on the grassland. She was from the Diela Yelu family. Although her father was dead, her cousin was still Yilijin from the Dadilie Mansion. The three brothers Yelu Shilu looked at the young sister and reminded themselves that in order to have a close relationship with Bohai, they gave their sisters to Dawei and married.
When they bid farewell to her under the city of Fuyu, she rode a white horse and smiled slightly. Although she would stay in a foreign country from now on, the girl knew how to deal with it. She was brave and strong beyond her peers. In the end, Yelu Sassai, who was close to Yuelizhi, couldn't help crying, and what comforted him was Yuelizhi.
The branches of the moon are very beautiful. She is tall and slim. Her legs are long and tight in sheepskin breeches. When her waist is full, her chest is already swollen. Her face is rosy and she has one of the seven most common hairstyles for Khitan women on her head.
The hair on the forehead to the sides of the ears was shaved, and other long unshaved hair was tied together with a rope on the top of the head. A small strand of long hair was split on the left side, braided it, wrapped around the forehead and then folded it back on the top of the head, pressed on the tied hair on the top of the head, tied together with the tied hair, and the long hair behind the ears and the head was draped under the back of the body.
Da Weiying stood on the gate tower of Fuyu City, looking down at the farewell ceremony under the city.
If it weren't for the strong advice from the accompanying Grand Secretary Liu Xilu and the Imperial Guard General Gao Huaisheng, Da Weiying would never want to marry a Khitan woman who was only twelve years old. Even if it was not a princess or just a concubine, he would have been dissatisfied with 120,000 yuan. The hairstyle of the Khitan woman made him feel extremely dissatisfied. The shaved forehead and the edges of his ears made his little concubine look so weird.
There are also her dowry maids, and their hairstyles are ugly.
There is a maid's hairstyle that keeps a bunch of long hair in the middle of the head, combed it into a bun, stands upright on the top of the head, shaved off the hair around the bun, and forms a hair ring on both sides of the head, and two long strands of hair on the forehead, hanging from the ears.
There is another one where a strand of long hair is left in the middle of the cranial top and the front sides of the forehead, and the rest of the hair is shaved off. The long hair on the top of the cranial top is tied with ribbons and hangs behind the head. The two strands of long hair on the front of the forehead are tied into a bun on the side of the ears and decorated with golden flowers.
Some of them cut all their hair very short, and they had a small buzz cut like a nun.
Also cut the hair on the top of the head short to make the hair around the head droop, cut the front of the forehead to the eyebrows, cut the temples and the side of the brain, and cut the back of the head to the lower edge of the ear.
Among the seven hairstyles, the only thing that made him look a little pleasant was a teenage Khitan maid. She rarely kept all her hair, combed it back, and just cut the ends of her hair together and drooped to her shoulders.
However, in the eyes of the Bohai prince who imitated various customs such as the costumes and rituals of the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth, the women of the Khitan were simply a group of uncivilized barbarians. They could neither recite poems and essays nor draw thrushes, but could only ride horses.
However, the reasons given by the Grand Secretary and General Gao also made him understand that if he wanted to deal with the Tang army, the alliance with the Khitan was very important. Promising the marriage request of the Diela tribe and accepting their women was of great significance to their alliance. If they defeated the Tang people in the future, they could join forces with the Khitans to eradicate the arrogant Goguryeo people in one fell swoop and take back Liaodong.
Even the powerful Han and Tang dynasties in Central China have always maintained marriage with the surrounding foreign tribes. A small tribe like the Khitan married several princesses of the Tang Dynasty. Lei Weiying sighed and shook her head. It would be great if the one who sent it was not the Khitan's bare-shaved woman, but the princess of the Li Tang royal family of Central China.
Li Jing, who was under Jian'an City, still didn't know that the Khitan Diela tribe, the people of Goguryeo and Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong had already signed an alliance agreement under Fuyu City to join forces to deal with him. I don't know that after surrendering to Gaode, there was another Gaodegui who had restored Goguryeo and called himself the King of Goguryeo.
Li Jing is now ready to attack Jian'an and then capture Anshizhou. Before the Khitans fully reacted, they fought a blitzkrieg battle and seized control of the northwest of the Liaodong Peninsula with lightning speed. They first cut off the Khitans' passage to the south. In this way, there were only Goguryeo people on the entire east bank of the Liao River.
If Jian'an and An City are captured, the first phase of the entire Northern Expedition will be considered successful.
Then Li Jing can keep the Khitan out and have time to calmly seize the area controlled by the Goguryeo people in the northeast of the Liaodong Peninsula. Taking down the entire Liaodong Peninsula is Li Jing's second phase goal.
Daxing City, Bo Diao City, Wugu City...
To the east of the Liao River, west of the Yalu River, and south of the Wugu River, Li Jing wants to defeat one mountain city after another, and complete the occupation of the Liaodong Peninsula before the end of the year.
So far, Li Jing has made preparations and arrangements.
The veteran Zhao Ju led the Feixiong army to quickly advance towards Dashiqiao and intercepted reinforcements from An City. Li Jing immediately asked Gao Zhaokang to lead his 5,000 Korean troops, and as soon as it was dark, he attacked the three gates of Jian'an City at the same time.
There are 1,000 Khitan soldiers in Jian'an City and 30,000 people. Since the Khitans refused to surrender, it would definitely take great damage to attack such a dangerous mountain city. Li Jing has always avoided such a tough battle, but now, since he sent Goguryeo people to the field, Li Jing would not have so many worries.
Although Gao Zhaokang looked reluctant, since the Korean army was established and they had to accompany them, they would have to send them to the battlefield sooner or later. Although there was a suspicion of taking the opportunity to consume, Li Jing didn't care much about Gao Zhaokang's ideas.
If Gao Zhaokang was reluctant to fight like this, then he would not have been rushing to surrender. Since that is the case, Li Jing doesn't have to care too much about his thoughts.
It is difficult to fight a mountain city, especially an important mountain city like Jian'an City, which is even more difficult to fight.
However, it is only relative to the difficulty. Jian'an City has the advantage of a mountain city, while Li Jing has the advantage of numerical advantages and military advantages.
In dealing with the mountain city, Li Jing had Fuyuan crossbows and lathe crossbows, as well as catapults, general cannons, cloud chariots, arrow towers, and even gunpowder bags, gunpowder jars, rockets, etc. However, although these equipment were strong, they were difficult to transport. The town [***] traveled rapidly, from capturing Lankou Mountain City to attacking Jian'an City, it took a month to arrive. The road in southern Liaoning was only built to Lankou City. Now, from Lankou City to Jili City, from Jili City to Jian'an City, there is about 300 miles apart. Although it seems not long, infantry marching for four to five days and cavalry two to three days.
These heavy equipment can be transported, but because the road is narrow and difficult to travel, it is several times more likely to be the army that is moving lightly.
Li Jing had already attacked the city of Jian'an, but the baggage team had just arrived in the twin cities.
The cannon and heavy crossbow gunpowder were no longer used for the time being, and Li Jing could only rely on his military strength to seize Jian'an City.
"Master General, the Korean army's attack is not strong enough, so we are passive and lazy in fighting!"
Lin Wu, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, watched the Goguryeo attack for a long time and rushed to the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Wu has never had a good face for the Goguryeo people. In his opinion, there is no need to get a Korean army out and send Gaode and his son directly to Dengzhou to monitor their residence. After all, these people were not trustworthy at first, and now they still have the army in control is a wrong decision.
Li Jing nodded, Lin Wu's concept has some truth. Li Jing is indeed too good to these Goguryeo people, so they can't even tell the main and secondary, and can't see the situation clearly. It is necessary to treat Goguryeo people preferentially, but everything must be limited, and leniency and strictness are needed.
"What do you think?"
A ruthless look flashed in Gai Yu's eyes, "It's not enough to have rain or dew, but there must be thunder and thunder. Only with kindness and power can these Goguryeo people know awe. I suggest that the Goguryeo people should be temporarily removed, and then directly kill all the people in the front to shock the army's power!"
Just kill one, instead of killing several former officers who were ineffective in attack, the shock would be much more powerful.
However, only 100 out of five thousand people were killed, and Li Jing still felt that he was too gentle to these Goguryeo people. Since he wanted to show his power, he had to be more strict.
Li Jing closed his eyes and pondered.
He thought that Yang Su was the most harsh in command of the army during the Sui Dynasty. When he encountered a difficult opponent, he sent hundreds of people to the battle first, but he was defeated. Yang Su killed everyone in front of the formation. Then he sent a thousand people, and the retreating one was still killed. In the end, Yang Su sent troops equal to the enemy to attack, and the battle was successful. Everyone was brave enough to take the lead, and there was no one who was afraid to move forward.
Although Yang Su's move was a little more ruthless, it actually conformed to the military strategy of putting it to death in the military book. It completely cut off other ideas of these soldiers and inspires everyone's desperate desire. In this way, the soldiers' combat effectiveness is terrible.
After a while, Li Jing said slowly: "Since Goguryeo is so lazy, they will be afraid. Send orders to execute everyone in the previous attack on the spot, and then let Gao Zhaokang lead his army to attack again. Tell him directly that if he can't conquer this time, then I will implement the eleventh killing law."
Hearing such an order, Li Liang, Lin Wu and other generals couldn't help but take a breath. The eleventh kill was quite cruel. No matter who was lazy in the fight, in short, if the requirement was not met, everyone decided to draw lots and finally executed 10% of the soldiers according to the eleventh killing rule. Five thousand people implemented the eleventh killing rule, and five hundred would have to be executed at one time. This was not death at the hands of the opponent, but at the hands of their own teammates. In particular, even those who fought with heart may be executed, and even officers and soldiers had the same chance.
"That soldier who will be executed will be handed over to all the officers above the command of Gao Zhaokang and other Korean military officers personally beheaded and will be executed publicly in front of the entire Korean army. Then, the second round of attacks will be started immediately!" Li Jing's voice said coldly. The Goguryeo people still have to use it, but they must be awe. This time, Li Jing's cruel order is to make them remember it thoroughly, make them awe in their hearts, and not have any other thoughts.
"I said that I would prefer all the surrendered Goguryeo people, but first of all, he must sincerely submit. Since someone dares to fight passively, I will not be polite to them anymore. Master Lin, you personally lead Xiao Jiejun to attack the rear. If you dare to mutiny, defect, or escape, kill it immediately!"
"Here!"
