Chapter 558 Oath
Some foreign generals looked confused. They did not understand how tragic things were in the Central Plains that year. Emperor Yang of Sui went east to attack Goryeo several times, and they used Shandong as a human and material supply base for attacking Goryeo. They added military palaces in this area and swept the floor to soldiers. Most of the strong men were conscripted as soldiers. The heavy labor and burden of building ships in Donglai, as well as the hard labor to transport grain to Hebei, all of these heavy burdens were overwhelmed by the people of Shandong. After the three expeditions of Goryeo, nine out of ten houses in Shandong were empty, and the originally fertile land was deserted.
After the song was over, all the fields were filled with tears. Changsun Wuji knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, my army is on an expedition, why do you make such an ominous sound?"
Uncle Li did not answer, and reached out to help Changsun Wuji. Amid the sound of the flags, he turned back and drove his horse to the high slope next to the river bank, looking back. He saw that tens of thousands of Tang soldiers had stopped crying and stood solemnly on the river bank like endless pines and cypresses, frowned and glared.
Uncle Li pulled his horse around the high slope several times, and the horse's front hooves were flying high, and he was booing. Uncle Li glared and asked loudly: "Dear men, who have any relatives in Liaodong?"
A strong wind roared past, and on the banks of the river, he raised his arms and the swords and weapons filled with cold light.
Uncle Li's horse seemed to be unable to bear this depressing atmosphere, and he stepped on his four hooves hard. While controlling his horse on the top of the high slope, Uncle Li shouted: "In the tenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui swept the floor and soldier to save millions of people from Goryeo. Thirty years have passed, and countless families in the Central Plains are still suffering. Today, I and you not only pacified Liaodong, but also crossed the water of the duck. In front of it, there is the capital of Goguryeo. I ask you whether you are willing to support the corpses of helping people back home in obscurity, or with me!" With a clang, the sword on your waist was unsheathed, and the cold light overflowed. "With me, flatten Goguryeo! I want to destroy Goguryeo here and build a huge monument with the stone of the wall of Goguryeo. Inscription: The Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, and the heroic souls of 100,000 Han families were eternal!" Uncle Li waved the sword in his hand and pointed at the sky to drink wildly.
Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their weapons and shouted overwhelmingly: "The Han family trampled on Goryeo! The Han family trampled on Goryeo! The Han family trampled on Goryeo!!!" It became a torrent of the sky, sweeping the sky and the earth, and the strong wind stormed, melting the blood-worn oath of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty into the clear sky. Goguryeo, they could only bow under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty and tremble...
----------------------------------------------------
It took tens of thousands of soldiers three days to collect all the bones. More than a hundred genius doctors and geniuses including Yuan Tiangang also performed a ritual for three days. Finally, the bones were burned into ashes and put them in a box. When they returned to the army, they were worshipped in the Tang Dynasty's Loyal Soul Temple.
"Forced crossing is a forceful crossing. At this location where our army is located, the widest part of the river bank is only a hundred feet, and the narrowest part is only seventy or eighty feet. Therefore, it is possible to force crossing. However, on the other side, Goguryeo has more than a hundred miles up and down the river. No matter where our army crosses, Goguryeo will definitely know at the first time that it is still unknown whether the forced crossing can be smooth, but the casualties will be great." Uncle Li Ji analyzed calmly.
A civil servant who was accompanying the army also pretended to look at the sand table for a long time, clicked the sap water and said, "How about it, my army can pass through this?"
Uncle Cheng was in a bad mood and rolled his eyes: "I want to die, but Cheng won't be with me."
"You!" The civil servant was so angry that he shivered. Li Daozong came out to persuade him, "Don't be upset. General Cheng's words were a little dry, but this is the reason. The rivers on the Sa River are turbulent and reefs are everywhere, and there is no place to stay on both sides. It is not a good place to cross the river. Even if Goguryeo doesn't send a soldier, the whole army will pass by, and I'm afraid half of it will be left."
Everyone was squatting in front of the sand table and looking frowning. At this time, Pei Xingjian, the prodigal son, jumped out and said loudly: "Why should we use the artillery regiment from the Military Academy to cover us across the river? Anyway, the artillery can reach as far as two miles, which is more than enough."
Everyone looked happy, and Uncle Li also cast his eyes at me. I first glared at Pei Xingjian hatefully, turned around, and spread his hands helplessly and smiled bitterly: "The last general can not change the shells. This time, the general brought a total of five thousand shells. Now, there are only 500 shells left. In other words, one cannon is only five rounds at the top of the sky. If it is to attack the city and capture ten cities, the last general will be sure of it. However, if it is used to cover our army to cross the river, it must consider the coverage of the artillery, the extended shooting of the artillery, and the dense strength of the artillery..." Just open your mouth and come, this general can be regarded as the greatest, most natural, and most visionary artillery tactical theorist of this era.
As my expression changed, my saliva flew everywhere, and a group of veterans were stunned
, his eyes became awe from the beginning of confusion. He smashed his mouth and poured the tea on his side into one mouthful. When he was about to talk about the theory of artillery and infantry fighting together, Uncle Li asked me carefully: "Son-in-law, then what do you mean..."
"No! Unless I give me ten times the ammunition, I can't guarantee that my army will have no danger when it comes to crossing the Sashui River. At least, there must be three thousand shells." I set the benchmark, and no one knows the artillery cover force crusting technology better than me. As soon as this was said, a group of veterans looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Uncle Li sighed and sat down: "If I had known this, I would have waited for two more months and waited for the shells to be enough before setting off. Forget it, don't worry anymore. No matter how worried you are, you will not be able to worry about a bridge that can cross the Sashui River. Let's do this, and order the three armies to cut wood and make boats to prepare for the forced crossing of the Sashui River. Another commander of the Rang Pingdao Marching Army Zhang Liang, asking him what his navy army does for food. After so many days, why haven't they come to preach the way for me?"
A few days later, Zhang Liang, who was covered in dust, was the chief marching officer of the Tang Dynasty Ring Road, and the commander of the Tang Dynasty naval army. Now he has also arrived in the tent of our army on the west bank of the Sashui River, pointing to the sand table to explain to Uncle Li the difficulties of the Tang Dynasty naval army: "I don't know how many mechanisms the Goguryeo army has set up on the east bank of the Sashui River to resist horses. When our army's ship reaches the middle section, it will be attacked by Goguryeo catapults and other objects. Moreover, the river channel in the lower section is too narrow and is a few miles long. When our warships pass by, they will be severely damaged. It is really a move that will not be lost if you hit the enemy on the shore with warships."
Uncle Li nodded: "It's not your fault, but, is my army stopping here and letting the Goguryeo children watch my jokes on the other side?!" Uncle Li's expression was very gloomy.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but remember the insidious work done by the Americans in the history and space where I was. In the early stage of the Korean War, the Korean People's Army won one after another. In just a few months, it forced the South Korean Wehrmacht and the US military to retreat to the Luodongjiang area near Busan. At this time, the 25th Division of the US military received an order to defend the southern defense line and was not allowed to retreat. The Korean People's Army had occupied 90% of the land and 92% of the population on the Korean Peninsula.
----------------------------------------------------
However, MacArthur, an insidious American, jumped out and met with other senior officers in Tokyo, and persuaded others to implement the risky Incheon landing plan. It cut off the retreat of the Korean People's Army, which was still fighting on the front line of Luodongjiang at that time. The Incheon landing was a nearly gambling adventure landing operation carried out by MacArthur, commanding the army, and achieved miraculous success. This landing operation not only affected the future process and even the end of the entire Korean War, but also showed the strategy of "surprising victory" from the perspective of military command.
My throat was itchy and I couldn't stand it anymore. We are honest people. I wanted to say everything I thought about, but I couldn't hold it in my heart.
Uncle Li saw that I was rubbing and itchy and looked like I was looking for twitching, and he couldn't help but bulge his eyes: "Fang Jun, where are you crazy about twitching? How can you be rude in the military tent?"
Everyone turned their eyes to me. Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, who were standing on my side, quickly moved a few steps sideways, looking ashamed to be with me, and were thrilled and furious at the edge. When did I get rude? It is clearly because of the army's crisis, I am thinking of a plan with tears in my heart.
"I didn't go crazy, but I just thought of a way to break Goguryeo's way of defending Sashui." I whispered in a resentful manner.
"A son-in-law and young man, let it go if you have a fart. Such a small sound can't kill you!" Uncle Cheng, the old guy, couldn't help but poke his hair over and shouted.
Uncle Li Jing chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, old man, yell, don't throw it on young people if you are angry. If you have any ideas about your love, what's the point of letting me hear it? This kid won't do anything else. He has more bad guys than the older ones combined."
