Chapter 1135 Will the coming general dare to leave his name
Twenty-two days.
The Yangliu River in front of Yingcheng Mountain in Anshi City has been covered with a thick layer of ice. Liang Wanchun stood at the top of the city and watched Tang Jun breaking the ice to fetch water, and couldn't help smiling.
"Why is the city lord laughing?"
"Today, the king of Tang came here with all his troops, and his front was unstoppable, and he even took down several big cities in Goguryeo. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped sharply, the cold current has arrived, and the surface of Yangliu River has been covered with thick ice. The Taizi River is frozen, and the Bohai Sea is also frozen. Soon, this is exactly how God protected me, Goguryeo."
"As long as our army has strong walls and high fortifications, and we can not fight, and divide our troops to cut off the food roads, then the Tang army will not be able to fight, and the food and grass will not continue, so we can only retreat. At that time, we will turn defeat into victory."
Regarding Liang Wanchun's optimism, the rest of the generals were hard to be optimistic. It was because the Tang army's offensive was too fierce. A fortress was also taken down. Recently, the Tang army has swept the four cities of Momi, Maigu, Yinshan, and Baihuang. Twelve cities have been lost before and after.
If you add Beisha, which was captured a few years ago, the entire Liaodong Great Wall defense line has been completely lost.
Although the city of An'an is still there, 40,000 soldiers were lost in the previous rescue of Jian'an, and now there are tens of thousands of people in the city, and it is already precarious.
Especially because they don't believe that anyone will come to help.
The 10,000 horses who came to aid from Black Bone City have been killed by the Tang army, who else can they count on?
Are you counting on Yuan Gai Suwen who abandoned the city and fled at the critical moment? This person was already at odds with them, and even sent a hundred thousand troops to attack Anshi before. How can you count on him with such a bad relationship between the two sides?
The city of Anshi was gloomy.
"Report, report to the city lord, and found that the Tang army outside the city has changed!"
"But the Tang army is about to start attacking the city? Don't be afraid, the soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the earth. In such severe cold weather, even if the Tang army has a large number of troops, it will be disadvantageous. It happens to kill them more. I still have 50,000 horses in An City, even if Li Shimin Come here, I will also break some of his teeth!" Liang Wanchun was startled, but he still pretended to be calm and encouraged the generals.
"Report to the city lord that the Tang army did not come to attack the city, but most of the soldiers and horses left the camp and went east."
Goguryeo's generals are all different.
"Could it be that the Tang army is afraid of the heavy snowfall and wants to withdraw its troops?"
"Perhaps it was because we didn't dare to attack the strong city, pretended to retreat, and then lured us out of the city to ambush?"
All the generals, you say a word to me.
Liang Wanchun looked at the continuous Tang camp outside the city, and was uncertain for a while.
Not long after, someone came to report again.
It is said that the Tang army soldiers who left the camp were divided into two groups, about 20,000 people went south along the way, and a large number of Tang ships also went down the river, and the other more than 100,000 people went northeast.
There are still about 30,000 troops in the Tang Army camp.
"City Lord, why don't you copy Tang Ying?"
"No, this must be a trap set by the Tang people, and you must not act rashly."
"Could it be that the reinforcements led by Mo Lizhi have arrived?"
"Do you want to go out of the city to attack?"
Liang Wanchun didn't pay attention to these words. Now they are trapped in the city, ignorant of the outside information, so they dare to act rashly. Before, because of carelessness, they mistrusted the false information of Gao Wenxin in Jian'an City, and finally sent 40,000 people to the city. The reinforcements were ambushed halfway, and the entire army was annihilated. Liang Wanchun had to deal with it cautiously based on the lessons learned from the past.
"Choose a warrior to go out of the city after dark to inquire about intelligence, and let's talk about the situation!"
Although there are only a few people left in the Tang camp outside the city, Liang Wanchun dare not be careless. If it is a trick, it will be difficult for them to come back after leaving the city. If there is another ambush, then Anshi City will really be unable to defend up.
At this time, it is better to be cautious than to act rashly.
Tang camp outside the city.
Changsun Wuji, however, was leading the remaining generals to arrange the curtains for the surrender, and also ordered people to kill pigs and sheep to prepare wine and food for the triumphant soldiers.
Killing pigs and sheep is so lively.
However, although it seems to be defenseless, it is only loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Changsun Wuji had already ordered the remaining warriors to lure elite soldiers and fully armed to ambush in the army tent, waiting for the Goguryeo army in Anshi City to kill them. .
Although there are only 30,000 soldiers, as long as the opponent dares to come out, Changsun Wuji is confident that he can kill them all.
"No movement?"
"No."
"This Liang Wanchun seems to be a character, but he is so cautious."
"I think it's cowardly and cowardly at all. If you really have the ability, how could you easily fall into Duke Wei's tricks and lose 40,000 horses?"
All the generals dismissed An Shicheng.
If it weren't for the emperor's strategy of first attacking the city with reinforcements, they thought that Anshi City wouldn't last long.
It was unlucky for the generals to fail to become one of the reinforcements, but An Shicheng didn't even have the courage to fight.
"This time, the saint should have started fighting?"
"I guess it won't be long before there will be a newsletter."
"Order the cooks to hurry up and cook!"
······
To the east of Anshi City, sixteen li and six mountains away.
Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops are already in place, just waiting for Li Sheer to lure the enemy into the bait.
Guide County King Li She'er led a thousand Turkic gargoyles and marched along the river from the wolf cavalry. Qingqi rode eastward for twenty miles, and finally encountered Goguryeo's reinforcements.
Li Sheer raised his wolf flag forward.
He rode his horse and yelled loudly, "I am the Great General of the Left Guard, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was given the surname of the country. It is also Li Sheer, the king of Guide County. Who is the Liao general on the opposite side? Do you dare to report your name? I will not pick an unknown name. generation!"
All the attached wolf riders behind them roared.
The Goguryeo army stopped the front army, and the former army leader was Goguryeo Masa Gao Yanshou, "What are the ghosts and wolves howling on the other side?"
"Back to the commander, the opposite is the Turkic people."
An officer who can speak Turkic quickly translated.
"Li Sheer, have you heard of this person?"
"Marshal, this man was given the surname by the Lord of the Tang Dynasty. His original name was Ashinasheer. He was the son of Luo Khan in the Eastern Turkic Region. He was originally named Tuoshe in Mobei. He was defeated by Xue Yantuo and left for the Western Regions. , and later on, the princess of the Tang family will be given the surname of the country, and she will be named the king of the county..."
"Who will go with me to capture this Li Sheer who is not a wolf but a dog!"
Several generals asked for orders one after another.
One of the generals who seized the opportunity laughed and rode back to the headquarters, leading five thousand Qingqi to kill them.
Li Sheer stood under the banner of the Golden Wolf, and immediately crossed his horse. Facing the incoming five thousand horses, he was not afraid at all. Although his task is to lure the enemy, he has to act like it, otherwise how can he convince the enemy.
Fortunately, since the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, Li Daozong had 4,000 battles against 40,000, and Li Heli had such a strong record of 8,000 battles with 10,000. Therefore, it is not suspicious that he dared to fight against the Goguryeo army with 1,000.
"kill!"
The descendants of King Jinlang Khan led a thousand Turkic cavalry and killed five thousand Mohe cavalry. Although Sheer has changed his surname to Li, he and his subordinates were once the overlords of the grassland nomads.
From Monan to Mobei, from the east to the Western Regions, they have always been mighty golden wolves.
Mohe people?
Those are just a group of barbarians in the wild land of white mountains and black waters. When did they have the right to provoke the descendants of the golden wolf?
Yangliu River Valley, one thousand Turks fought five thousand horses, the two sides fought against each other and repeatedly collided.
Li Sheer and his Turkic cavalry demonstrated superb riding and shooting skills, especially the ability of riding and shooting here, which is far stronger than that of the Mohe barbarians.
Coupled with the blessings of the excellent armor, bows, knives, horses and other equipment they obtained after they were the guards of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was hard for a thousand cavalry to fight against five thousand cavalry.
Gao Yanshou was sitting in the back, looking at his general who had just patted his chest and promised to capture the golden wolf alive, and when he was being killed and scattered, he couldn't help but look ugly.
"Trash!"
"Blow the horn, the whole army will be killed!"
Don't care about face, although the battlefield is not big, five thousand riders is enough to strangle the opponent, but now the parents who are beaten by the opponent's thousand riders will not recognize them, and Gao Yanshou ordered the whole army to press up.
Li Sheer and Ma Qian picked up another Goguryeo cavalry, looked at the Liao soldiers rushing up like a tide, and sneered twice.
"Wolf cubs, retreat!"
Gao Yanshou saw the Turkic cavalry fleeing in a panic, and he gritted his teeth and chased after him even more. How could he let the opponent leave after being arrogant?
Chase all the way until the foot of Liushan.
Li Sheer led his troops to the front of Cheng Yaojin's army at the foot of the mountain.
"It's been hard work, the king, please go down and rest, and I will leave this place to Lao Cheng."
The former Goguryeo army chased down the mountain, and when they saw the Tang army waiting in front of them, they stopped their pursuit.
Gao Yanshou narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tang Jun who was waiting in front of him.
"Damn it, you actually want to ambush us!"
"Stop chasing, array!"
More and more Goguryeo troops arrived. In the afternoon, Yuangai Suwen and Gao Huizhen also arrived with the rest of their troops.
The 150,000 Goguryeo Army spread out for several miles.
"There are about 50,000 Tang troops on the opposite side. They are lined up against the mountain and their backs are facing the river. This is to prevent us from reinforcing Anshi City."
Yuan Gai Suwen was dressed in shiny bright armor, his beard was trimmed all over his face very delicately, five precious knives were inserted into his body, and he carried a zhangbamo knives in his hand, which was majestic and majestic.
"Does 50,000 people block our way?" Yuan Gaisuwen asked coldly, "We will lead 150,000 people, and An Neng is afraid of 50,000?"
The two generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen also felt ashamed and were immediately enraged.
"Willing to defeat the Tang army for Mo Lizhi."
After a simple discussion, Goguryeo began to attack.
The war drums are like thunder, and the horns are sounding repeatedly.
Still Gao Yanshou led the army as the forward, Yuan Gai Suwen led the central army, and the Mohe cavalry was divided into two wings, intending to defeat the 50,000 Tang troops blocking the way in one fell swoop, and then rushed to join forces under the city of Anshi.
"Quick battle, don't let the Tang army come to help."
In front of the Tang army on the opposite side, Cheng Yaojin was wearing bright armor, "Come on, let's have a good fight!"
The north wind whistling, the drums beating, and the gold and iron horses flying with arrows and feathers.
Soon the two armies came to a fight, and Cheng Yaojin ordered the whole army not to take a step back.
The Goguryeo army faced the Tang army's strong formation, so the whole army had to press on.
On the mountain, Li Shimin sat on the mountain peak, overlooking the entire battlefield. After the battle started for more than an hour and the entire Goguryeo army was on top, the emperor finally smiled.
150,000 people pressed forward and still broke through Po Cheng Yaojin's defense line. These people were no more than a mob.
Of course, if the Goguryeo people were given more time, there might be some hope.
How could Li Shimin give them a chance.
"Light the fireworks, set up the flag, beat the drums, sound the horn, and order the Taiwei to attack!"
······
Suddenly countless flags were erected on the mountain, and the sound of drums and horns sounded, followed by countless strands of thick smoke.
This sudden change shocked the Goguryeo people who were fighting at the foot of the mountain.
Yuan Gai Suwen was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse under Shuai's banner, his complexion changed drastically.
Sure enough, killing sounds suddenly came from behind.
It's like a black tide emerging.
But a Tang army broke out from a valley on one side.
"Ambush!"
"It's tricked!"
Pingzhang Shili, Jianxiao Zhongshuling, Taiwei, Wei Guogong, Qin, all kinds of banners point to one person.
Qin Lang who once led divine thunder to smash the strong city of Beisha ten miles away, and defended the big city with thousands of people.
