Chapter 949: The First Battle of Goguryeo (Part 2)
The Tang Dynasty military system is a system of military forces. Yihuo people are basically fellow villagers from the same village. Sometimes if the village is big, there will be situations where all the people and horses are all from the same village. So the soldier naturally dare not complain if he is beaten, because the one who beat him is a cousin at home, and he dares to resist. After he returns home, he will not beat him to death.
Of course, a military system like the Tang Dynasty has its benefits and disadvantages, but if you consider it according to normal circumstances, there are still more benefits. After all, they are all people in the same village. When fighting, there is no need to worry that the soldiers will not do their best and break the relationship between bones and tendons. Who can watch the brothers of the same clan die in battle without doing their best?
The snow-white steamed buns, steaming broth, and fat pork belly. When the rich breakfast was served, the Khitans were stunned. They swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and rubbed their eyes hard.
Usually in the Khitan, even if they were going to fight, they would give them a meal of porridge and add at most two slices of meat. Unexpectedly, they would have enough white steamed buns to fight against the Tang Dynasty and enough meat to fill them.
If you can eat these things every day, even if you fight every day, it’s okay. Anyway, you will be a bad life. If you go to war, it’s just for a bite.
Brother Gu blushed like a monkey's butt. His subordinates had never seen the world before, which made him feel that he had lost a lot of face. The Tang army needed one meal enough, but the Khitan actually ate three meals, but in the end he was yelling that it was not enough and insisted on getting the fourth one, regardless of whether his stomach was already swelling and was about to explode.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and you will go to the battlefield later. If anyone is not dedicated, I will beat him out." The angry brother Gu was furious and used his whip to whip the soldiers who were almost unable to walk. He scolded while thrusting, "Where is this face?" The strange eyes of the Tang army soldiers beside him made him want to find a crack in the ground to get in.
"Okay, Governor Li, it's natural to eat food when he is in the army. Don't be angry. Come on, I will toast you with tea instead of wine. I wish the Governor a victory in the flag of the army." After breakfast, the generals gathered in the central army's tent. Li Ji picked up a bowl of warm tea and said to Brother Ku who was still sulking.
The military law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that the army is not allowed to drink when going to war. Brother Ku also knows this, so he has no objection to Li Ji's method of using tea instead of wine. He raised his head and drank it dry, looked at the bottom of the bowl and said loudly: "Mr. Thank you for the general! If you cannot take down Liaodong City this time, the Mr. I am willing to come and see you!"
"The governor is so serious!" Li Ji waved his hand, then raised his head and said to the generals around him: "The time has arrived, and the generals will return to their own formation. In a moment, beat the drum and go out to war!"
"Here!" A group of veterans who had been waiting for a long time agreed and left the central army's tent happily, and returned to their own formation to reorganize the army.
The aura of war was getting closer and closer, and the defenders in Liaodong City seemed to smell the terrifying aura, and they were nervously staring at the Tang army camp in the strong wind. The guard Zuo Songyuan even wore neatly before dawn and arrived on the top of the city early.
Eating before the war was a practice in ancient times, and the smoke from cooking was naturally detected by the enemy and preparedness would be made. This is inevitable in any case.
After all, it is impossible to prepare meals for tens of thousands of people and do it quietly. In ancient times, there were no cooking trucks or anything else, and there was no smoke-free stove. It was not surprising that the smoke rolled in the meals when the smoke rolled.
"Go to inform the city lord, and say that the Tang army is about to attack, so that the city lord will prepare early." When the faint sound of horns and drums came to the top of the city, Zuo Songyuan's tense nerve suddenly relaxed. He turned around and ordered the people around him and shouted sternly: "All army is ready for war! Defend the city to the death and live and die with Liaodong City!"
Death is not terrible, anyway, it is just a matter of being cut with one knife.
But the time when you die is the most terrifying. The simplest example is the college entrance examination. In fact, the day of the college entrance examination is really not terrible. The only thing left is to answer questions. However, the countdown before the college entrance examination is too terrible. Counting every day is like making a final summary of your life.
The same is true for Zuo Songyuan. Facing the tens of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty, the confrontation in the past half month made his nerves almost tense. He was thinking about what method the Tang Dynasty would use to attack, and what method he would use to deal with it. He thought about it every day and always felt pain in his mind.
Now, the Tang Dynasty's attack has finally come. There is no need to think about anything. As long as you adapt to the situation, you can fight and you will have a result immediately after a fight. You will no longer have to think about it with trepidation.
One hour later, 30,000 troops gathered in the west of Liaodong City, a vast area covered with vast flags, and the dense flags almost extended to the horizon. Looking down from the head of the city, it was a sea of flags.
"Listen to the defenders on the city, and quickly ask your city lord to come out and answer." According to convention, chatting before the war is also the rule before the war in ancient times.
"Listen to Tang Jun below, you are offending the border for no reason, but you think I, Goguryeo, can't be bullied? Someone here advises you, it's best to retreat quickly, otherwise the millions of dead bones in the former Sui Dynasty will be your role model!" A guy with a golden helmet on the top of the city stood up, looking very sexy, but I don't know if he was the city lord.
But it is obvious that his words were almost equivalent to sentenceing everyone in Liaodong City to death.
As the saying goes, "Beat people without slapping the face, and scolding people without revealing their shortcomings." Yang Guang, the three-time campaign of Goguryeo, was almost an eternal pain in the hearts of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It was just something that happened more than 20 years ago. Many soldiers present still remember what happened that year, and many of them had relatives who died in Goguryeo.
So after the words of the slut above the city were spread to the back, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were immediately furious. The red and yellow army formation, which was originally covered by flags, instantly lit up a sword: "Tang Dynasty, thousands of victory! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sharp sword light seemed to be about to split the sky, and the aura of mountains and seas rushed to the night, and the wind and clouds changed in the violent west wind.
Above the city head, the guard general Zuo Songyuan and the city lord Tao Hongwei looked extremely ugly, and they all looked angry at the eastern mattress who was still complacent.
It was not until this time that they knew what they were facing. Tang Jun, who had never shown his offensiveness, was so excited by the words of that slut that he was so excited that he was so angry that he really didn't know which side this guy was? Could it be a spy sent by the Tang Dynasty?
