Three hundred and sixtieth chapters behind the knife
Li Shimin's actions made the frontline soldiers a little confused for a moment. Who would have thought that the emperor, who was the 95th emperor, would personally carry a sack and hold it in front of him and get the arrow rain.
Cheng Mingzhen rushed up with a flash, but he could not hold on. He had to snatch a shield and hold it high, protecting Li Shimin. When Li Shimin threw the sack in his hand into the ditch, he sat on the ground with a plop and was stunned.
This is so scary than charging forward by yourself.
Li Shimin's armor was unique and golden. When he stood on the battlefield, he was so outstanding that he stood out. When all the soldiers on the front line saw that the saints had personally fought against the sacks, they had a feeling of excitement and shame and anger in their hearts at the same time. They were always disgusted.
Li Shimin's prestige in the army was extraordinary. When the soldiers saw this, their eyes turned red. Facing another wave of arrows on the top of the city, no one retreated this time. They screamed and rushed forward, which was very much like looking at death.
Gao Huizhen naturally recognized Li Shimin, and was shocked by Li Shimin's actions for a moment, but immediately reacted. This was an opportunity and immediately ordered the archer to shoot in a concentrated manner. He also pulled the bow himself, and felt that his heart was about to jump out.
If he could shoot the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield, wouldn’t this battle turn defeat into victory?
Of course, he was just thinking too much.
Li Shimin was just a showman, not really trying to kill. Their pit was just the first ditch in Anshi City. It was far away from the city wall. The rain of arrows on the city could only attack the siege team with a shot, commonly known as blind men.
Is it ejected? There is no accuracy at all? It is all a flash arrow, and it is still a kind of weak. He is wearing tight ground armor, and he will probably not be injured when he stands and does not let you shoot. What's more, there is a shield around him.
Naturally, Gao Huizhen and others' direct shots fell from afar, and even Li Shimin's clothes could not be touched.
After Li Shimin returned, he turned around and wanted to fight the sack again. Cheng Mingzhen hugged his thighs tightly and said nothing, so he couldn't stand the stimulation!
The same was true for the civil and military officials who accompanied him. They blocked Li Shimin in front and did not let him go again no matter what he said. The first three days of the siege were always the time of the most casualties. The slightly larger generals did not dare to come forward. If conditions permit, they all used death row prisoners to form suicide squads to use their lives. How could the emperor go on the person himself?
Seeing that Li Shimin was struggling, he simply fell down and his eyes were thieves, because as soon as he did the show just now, the outermost trench was filled directly, and he moved forward and entered the range of the direct shooting of the other person.
So he put down the sandbag hatefully, pointed at Cheng Mingzhen and said, "Before dusk, I want to push the engineering crossbow to the city of Anshi. Is there any problem?"
What else could Cheng Mingzhen say at this time? He knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of his voice: "No!! Finally, I will make a military order. I will not push the crossbow to the city before dusk. I will come and see you."
…………
This is the front battlefield of Li Shimin Goguryeo, which is very impressive and is many times better than in history.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with Niu Jinda's battlefield behind enemy lines.
Niu Jinda asked for help.
When Qin Hao just received this news from his subordinates, he was stunned.
He didn't say anything else, but just ordered Qin Hao to send a few ships back to Baijiangkou and be ready to pick him up at any time.
Qin Hao knew very well that Niu Jinda's temper was like his surname, and he was stubborn and stubborn. If he hadn't really encountered problems, with his temperament, he would never have had such a thing.
It shouldn't be. Could it be that even Su Dingfang's 80,000 people could not hold back the Geling defenders in Baekje? The military order made by Su Dingfang was three months old. If something went wrong, one of the four great war gods of the Tang Dynasty would die here.
After inquiring, I realized that the problem lies with the Queen of Silla.
Li Shimin's frontal battlefield was winning steadily, and even Datang himself felt the speed of advancement was incredible, not to mention outsiders, the soldiers on the battlefield behind enemy lines naturally felt that their morale was greatly boosted, but Silla may not be the case.
For Silla, the best result of this battle is that the Great Wall is broken, but the Yalu River is not broken, and Goguryeo is defeated but not destroyed, just like in history.
In this way, they can slowly digest Baekje's territory and strengthen their strength. The Tang Dynasty will pay more and more attention to them. They don't even need the Tang Dynasty. They can try to compete for power with Goguryeo, who has been greatly damaged.
After all, Goguryeo, which is west of the Yalu River, is equivalent to a North Korea, while Silla, which annexed Baekje, is equivalent to South Korea. Even if it is weak, it is not much different.
But who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty's military attack could be so powerful!!
As soon as the war started, Li Shimin himself even broke before he arrived at the Great Wall. From the beginning of the war, it took only more than a month to complete the battle. Goguryeo has decided to give up to the west of the Yalu River. This is simply incredible!
Originally, the Silla people thought that there would be little hope for this wave of Tang Dynasty to break the Yalu River, because the Tang Dynasty's army had never fought for more than half a year, because the soldiers of the palace had to go home to farm in spring, and this time it was the whole country to raise troops. Over time, it would be a heavy burden to the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty.
In half a year, even if you can barely conquer Qingzhou, you have to praise Li Shimin for using his troops as if he was a god.
But what is the situation now? Is Goguryeo made of paper?
Silla is panicked now. Judging from this situation, although the Yalu River-Changbai Mountain defense line is steep, it is hard to say whether it can defend against the Tang army's offensive.
What's more, there were himself and Niu Jinda behind Goguryeo's butt. Goguryeo was blocked by the Han River, but the Tang Dynasty did not. When Niu Jinda freed his hand and destroyed Baekje, he would give him an order at that time. The two sides worked together to gather more than 100,000 troops to kick his butt. How could Goguryeo not die under the attack of two lines?
This is not in Silla's interests.
Without Goguryeo, Silla would be useless. Whether or not Baekje’s territory is given or not, not to mention that even if they swallowed Baekje, they would be almost as good as a pet who could only wag their tails in front of the Tang Dynasty.
Behind him was a vast sea of white, not even a strong enemy, and the Tang Dynasty had no need to let him guard the border. He was even the only border trouble in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. Who knew if he would destroy himself by hand.
To be honest, this possibility is quite high. After all, there is the sea behind it. As the saying goes, birds are hidden all over the bow. If there is no Goguryeo in the world, then what is the use of Silla? Although destroying Silla is a bit contrary to morality, these things in front of national interests are actually just jokes and fun.
Therefore, the current situation in Geling is that Silla, as the biggest stakeholder, does not send any force, and tries to do whatever he can. The main attack depends entirely on the 20,000 troops of Su Dingfang's government, and even supplies are sometimes a problem.
Niu Jinda naturally knew this situation. He was not the same as he was able to stop the Geling defenders with 20,000 people and 80,000 people. Therefore, he was actually ready to leave.
But after Qin Hao learned about this situation, he was furious on the spot.
"Come on, drive the boat and go to Jincheng. I want to ask Jin Sunde if that old lady wants to make a fuss. I'm so anxious that I beat them together."
