Chapter 13 Singing forward

Li Yuanai immediately learned about the fall of Anshi City through a special channel between Li Zhi and Li Shimin and his son.

"Anshicheng, has it been defeated?"

Li Yuanai couldn't believe his ears and looked at Li Zhi blankly.

Li Zhi looked strange. His father was the commander-in-chief of the world. In the early years, who did not hear the name of the little Qin King?

I won the battle of three thousand and one hundred thousand. Is it worth it to be so stupid as to fight a small Anshicheng?

How could he know that in history, Li Shimin returned in failure under the city of Anshi.

But no matter how strange it was, Li Zhi said with certainty: "The father has taken down Anshi City and is heading towards Wugu City."

"Very good!"

Li Yuanai cheered happily and almost jumped up to celebrate. History finally turned in a good direction, and it seemed that she did not make herself miserable.

Li Zhi looked at this uncle who had grown up with him and had been unreliable for half his life and muttered, "I have never seen the world before." However, he still handed over the private message Li Shimin gave him, making him happy again.

Li Yuanai ended up sending a private message. Seeing the content of the letter, the letter described the battle in detail. He saw that he was full of joy and was very happy.

But when he saw the end, Li Yuanai felt heavy and depressed. The end of the letter read: This siege lasted twenty-three days, and the Tang army killed 4,136 people...

He vaguely remembers that Li Shimin attacked Goguryeo for the first time in history, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and won 40,000 in the head alone, while the Tang army was only killed by two thousand. Now, more than 4,000 people were killed by attacking Anshicheng?

In fact, Li Yuanai was trapped in his own devil.

In history, Li Shimin's attack on Goguryeo did have a brilliant result, but the so-called deaths were only 2,000, which was not the entire conquest, but the gains and losses of the three major battles of Xincheng, Jian'an and garrison.

The losses during the attack on Liaodong City and the besiege of Anshi City were not included.

Li Yuanai had only a little understanding of this and took the blame to himself.

In fact, in history, due to the different canals and unstable food channels, Li Shimin set up his logistics base in Dingzhou.

The Goguryeo ruler Yuan Gaisuwen knew the harsh situation facing the Tang army, so he was confident that he would resist the Tang army outside his home west of Anshi City.

Then, I sent Nossa to prolong my life in the northern part of Goguryeo, Huizhen led Goguryeo and Mishi soldiers to rescue Anshi City.

Now that Li Yuanai has cleared the Grand Canal, Li Shimin has moved the base camp directly to Jicheng.

Food and grass are continuously transported from the canal to the front line, and logistics is no problem.

Yeon Gaisuwen dared not take this game as he did in history, and directly pulled the front back.

As for Yang Wanchun, it’s a pity that he is not his own.

Dead, Yoon Gaisuwen didn't feel that there was much loss.

In history, the Tang army was due to serious logistical problems, and the canal was suddenly blocked and the food was not in place. Li Shimin was unwilling to accept it and was reluctant to retreat. Then he besieged Anshicheng to see if the logistics could be sorted out and did not launch a strong attack regardless of casualties.

Now the logistics is unimpeded, Li Shimin is full of confidence and puts all his energy into destroying Goguryeo in one fell swoop, so he naturally attacks regardless of casualties.

Originally, there was no hope of attack, but Li Shimin had no choice but to retreat and regarded it as a failure of the conquest.

Now he took Anshi City with high fighting spirit and advanced towards Goguryeo's hinterland.

This is the result of Li Yuanai's efforts over the years.

Li Yuanai sighed: "There are four thousand soldiers lost."

Li Zhi was born with an emperor's image and said calmly: "Where is no immortal in war?"

Li Yuanai was shocked and figured it out. It sounds cruel, but it is a fact.

Where can one die in war?

For Goguryeo, in the late Zhenguan period, Li Shimin sent troops to harass him twice.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, wars continued, and in the end, the Tang Dynasty took ten years to completely eliminate the enemy entrenched in the Northeast.

In the past decade, the battle between the two countries has happened, and that undead?

If this time can be done once and for all, it will be profitable no matter how you calculate it!

Li Yuanai suddenly became clear and took more attention to handling logistics affairs, with every detail.

With the help of stable logistics, Li Shimin began to advance deep into Goguryeo without any worries.

On June 21, the Tang army captured Wugu City.

On the thirty days, conquered Nansu.

He humiliated the barbarians and traveled to two cities, but fled when he heard the news. When the Tang army arrived, there was no one in the city.

On July 13, Luo Tong led 300 cavalry to Fuyu to investigate the situation. Gao Nansheng, the guard general of Fuyu, saw that there were only 300 people in the Tang army, and did not remember the lesson, so he led 4,000 soldiers out of the city to fight. Luo Tong lifted his spear and jumped into the horse, stabbed Gao Nansheng directly under the horse, and defeated the four thousand Goguryeo soldiers in one fell swoop, and the wind of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin was faintly reappeared.

On July 18, Fuyu City fell.

Li Shimin realized that Yang Wanchun's level of general was second only to Goguryeo, so he was not cautious and directly divided his troops to capture the city.

Zhang Shigui, Li Daozong and Zhang Jian each led the troops and advanced.

Goguryeo's Yongaisuwen had no choice but to face the arrogant offensive of the Tang army, and could only shrink the front line and retreat again and again.

Yuan Gaisuwen's tactics are actually not bad, and it is the only way to face the Tang Dynasty.

However, this style of play aroused strong resistance within Goguryeo, especially in the northern part of the Great Nagao prolonged life.

The Goguryeo fishing and hunting nation was almost all soldiers. At the beginning of its founding, they conferred military power into five divisions and called them the Five Divisions.

As Goguryeo's territory grew larger and larger, the Five Tribes of the Notha gradually became five chief officials with heavy troops in hand.

Most of the land and cities that Yuangasuwen retreated were territories of the northern part of the Great Slaggao.

After retreating, he saw that his territory was about to be occupied by the Tang army. Gao Yanshou could not bear it. He made a big fuss with Yuan Gai Suwen and led the 60,000 troops in his hand to kill the Tang army.

Then……

Nothing later!

The Tang army in the field was like a vicious wolf. At less than a thousand, they swallowed Gao Yanshou's 60,000 soldiers alive, and only captured the head level was more than ten thousand.

Gao Yanshou was shocked and asked to surrender and became a strategist next to Li Shimin.

There are many people who are dissatisfied with Yuan Gaisuwen's retreat tactics, but they are all forced to be angry but dare not speak out due to their tyranny.

But this time it was quiet...

The terrible combat power displayed by the Tang army made all Goguryeo people feel in a crisis, and they all realized that they had encountered a tough nail this time. If they don’t work together, perhaps the destruction of the country is in front of them.

Of course, the Tang army also encountered a lot of trouble. The deeper it went into the hinterland of Goguryeo, the more dangerous the terrain became, the harder it was.

Even without the harassment of Goguryeo soldiers, the Tang army delayed for a long time during the march.

In order to prevent them from entering too fast, the logistics will not be able to keep up for the moment.

Li Shimin had to choose to stop the army and repair it, and then move forward after the food and grass was delivered.

The Tang army conquered the city and occupied the territory until August 21, when the three armies and Yaluzha converged.
