Chapter 39 The situation in Haidong
After all, Yoon Gassuwen escaped.
It wasn't that they escaped quickly, but that Pyongyang City sent reinforcements to support it.
Yuan Gaisuwen went out to war, and the rear base camp was handed over to his second son Yuan Nanjian.
Yuan Nanjian learned that the entire Goguryeo army was defeated and his father was unaware of his life and death, so he arranged for the scout to gather the remaining soldiers who had retreated from the front line. He learned that his father was chasing the Tang army and decisively sent soldiers to rescue him.
The Tang army fought fiercely for three days and nights, fighting all over and holding on. It was easy for the Yuangaisu literary team to fight to the end of their strength.
But when facing the reinforcements that Shang Yuan Nan was ready for battle, it would be difficult.
No matter how powerful the Tang army is, it is still a human being, and has its own limits.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Daozong took a decisive walk.
Yuan Nanjian didn't dare to pursue him, and escorted his father back to Pyongyang City.
Although Li Shimin learned that he had run away from Yen Gai Suwen, he did not care too much.
In this battle, they defeated Goguryeo's main force in one fell swoop, and the remaining remnants are no longer worth mentioning.
They have opened the gates of Goguryeo, and now there is a lonely city of Pyongyang left.
The key is that in this battle, they confiscated various military supplies stored in the three villages of Goguryeo and no longer worried about their own supplies.
The supplies provided to Goguryeo's 150,000 troops were enough to support the Tang army to withdraw, and there was still surplus.
Originally, Cen Wenben was responsible for the logistics, but Cen Wenben was too serious and meticulous, and he worked hard in everything. In addition, the Northeast was so painful and cold that he was in a state of health.
Li Shimin waved his hand and directly asked Li Yuanai to replace Cen Wenben's work, and asked him to count the casualties and the seized food and supplies.
Seeing that Cen Wenben was dim and in poor spirits, Li Yuanai was really worried that he would be exhausted like Zhuge Liang, so he could only take over and arrange people to sort out and seize the supplies, settle the heads, clean up the battlefield, and bury the bodies.
In this battle, it took all parties a full five days to count.
Li Yuanai scored the numbers and handed them over to Li Shimin.
In this battle, the Tang army obtained a total of 51,281 heads, showing the terrible combat effectiveness of the Tang army. They surrendered 38,923 soldiers, and seized a total of 80,000 horses, 70,000 cows, 30,000 iron armor, and other large amounts of food, supplies, weapons, bows and arrows.
However, the Tang army also suffered considerable casualties, causing as many as 5,882 soldiers and more than 18,000 horses.
Judging from the results of the battle, it is not uncommon.
Li Shimin didn't have much joy. He looked at the loss of more than 5,800 yuan and sighed: "If it weren't for the limitations of this climate, why would our army have to pay such a price?"
Li Yuanai was speechless.
Li Shimin had almost harsh military requirements for himself.
If it were someone else who had won such a big victory, he had already cheered, but he felt that the casualties exceeded his expectations and was unwilling to accept it.
Li Yuanai said solemnly: "This is not the key. The emperor brother, the key is that almost all soldiers have more or less frostbite, especially the troops under Li Daozong, which is the most serious. We need to have a good rest and a good rest."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged this. Pyongyang City was built in the Sui Dynasty Daxing City, and the surrounding areas are surrounded by villages. We are not in a hurry to siege the city, just live in the village. There are houses in the village that can shelter from wind and rain, which is much better than living in tents. We don't have to worry about food and grass now, but we just repair them in the village until the beginning of spring."
Li Yuanai had seen the frostbite of soldiers with his own eyes, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. After hearing this arrangement, he kept nodding and said, "It's so good that we can also use this opportunity to repair and make siege equipment. I heard that Pyongyang City is located in the Han River Basin. If it is rich, it is rich, but there is no natural danger to defend. I also heard that when Pyongyang City was built, the king of Goguryeo once gave up his bold statement that Pyongyang is hard and no one can break. Since this is the case, I think they should see what air raids are."
Anshi City is a mountain city, and there are not many places for siege equipment to be used.
Therefore, the attack on Anshicheng could only rely on hard work, otherwise the attacking equipment of the Tang Dynasty would not be so tired.
Although Pyongyang City is strong, it is located on the plain and is available for the use of siege equipment.
Li Shimin suddenly realized that although his sixteenth brother did not understand military affairs, he was a perfect logistics company. He was extremely sensitive and proficient in mathematics and knew how to make various exquisite equipment. He was also delicate in mind and was simply the perfect logistics manager. He smiled and said, "You can also supervise this aspect so that the emperor can also see it."
"Yes!" Li Yuanai disliked seeing Goguryeo pretending the most. If she didn't teach them a lesson, she wouldn't know why the flowers were so popular.
"By the way, two days later, Jin Yuxin, the leader of Liangzhou Army in Silla, and Buyu Yici, the king of Baekje, came back to ask for a meeting. You are responsible for the reception, so I will rest in the tent. There are some things that I cannot talk about. You are the prince, which is more suitable than me." Li Shimin originally planned to let Changsun Wuji talk about, after all, Changsun Wuji is more scheming and has gained his own trust.
However, in this battle, Changsun Wuji commanded the front line, his face was frostbite and cracked, his appearance was indecent, and he was indecent.
Li Yuanai blinked her eyes, obviously a little confused.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "This Baekje Wang Fuyu Yici is also a character. He was filial piety spread far and wide when he was young, and he was praised as "Haidong Zengzi."
Li Yuanai interrupted and said, "But the Confucian one?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It is him, from this we can see that Haidong was deeply influenced by our Central Plains culture." He continued, "After Fuyu Yici took office, he rectified military affairs, strengthened royal power, and took the power of the military in his hands."
Li Yuanai smiled and said that he was really different from his fate. Gao Jianwu from Goguryeo also did the same thing, but he failed and let Yuen Gai Suwen kill him. This person was successful and had some level of ability.
"Fuyu Yici personally led his army to attack Silla, seized more than 40 cities in one breath, and blocked Silla's way to pay tribute to us. The emperor's brother rebuked the book, but he did not respond. When our army attacked Goguryeo this time, he took advantage of the situation to raise an army and captured seven cities in Silla, so that Silla could not attack Goguryeo with our army, and the intention of being an enemy with our court was quite obvious."
"So after the Yaluzha victory, the emperor's brother immediately ordered Zhang Liang to approach Baekje from the water. However, three days ago, Fuyu Yici wrote a letter to the emperor's brother, saying that he would bow his head and confess his guilt. Obviously, this arrogant Baekje king had already scared him."
"Baojie King is quite a bit of a trick. Staying there is a disaster, but you can't stay there now. Do you understand?"
