Chapter 916 The Great Army Gathers
Chapter 916
Boy Yuan asked his father if he could withstand the Tang Dynasty's army's attack on the capital. Yuan Gaisuwen said yes, while Boy Yuan sighed and said, "It is impossible to withstand it, but Duke Hu said that he would not attack us within half a year, and he said that he would just need to mobilize troops to reinforce. He would completely defeat our army here. In addition, if our reinforcements were not coming, they would attack us. Now their main energy is to kidnap our people!"
"They said they wouldn't hit us within half a year? Tell me in detail?" After hearing this, Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Yuan's boy in surprise and started talking about the matter between entering Nandaying and leaving Nandaying. Including Qin Huaidao's words, he also said that Qin Huaisuwen said that they had surrendered unconditionally.
"How dare the elixir children be so arrogant? They dare to surrender unconditionally. Even if they have thunder, we can defeat them and kidnap our people. It is not that easy to break our foundation!" Yuan Gaisuwen sat there and said sneered.
"Dad, don't underestimate him!" Boy Yuan sat there, reminding Yuan Gai Suwen and said.
"I know, why did I underestimate him? He is still very prestigious in Chang'an. I want to capture him! These days, I have asked our messengers to dress up like people, let them go out of the city at night, walk the path, go to other cities to change horses, and then go to inform other places, mobilize troops to encircle the Tang Dynasty's troops at that time!" Yuan Gai Suwen still sneered. Now, as long as he defeats the troops here, he can do so.
In the next few days, Qin Huaidao's troops were increasing, and in the end, all 100,000 troops arrived.
Qin Huaidao left 50,000 people in Nandaying, and the others were all sent to the city south. Cheng Yaoye and the others also kept making good news, and they successively broke through seven cities in Goguryeo and wiped out more than 30,000 enemies.
At the same time, they also controlled the people in the city and kidnapped all the young and middle-aged men and women. The Goguryeo troops to the south also came over, but were blocked by Cheng Yaoye and others outside the city. They organized an attack on the city, but they left behind thousands of corpses and retreated in a hurry.
At this moment, a large army also came outside Pyongyang City. The scouts reported that there were no less than 100,000 troops, and there were also behind them. At this moment, all the royal soldiers from Goguryeo also drove from the south.
"I just received the news that a team of cavalry came from Goguryeo again, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 30,000 people! They are all elite cavalry!" A major came to Qin Huaidao's command center and reported to Qin Huaidao.
"Reported that the gates to the north and west of Pyongyang City have been opened, and a large number of troops are entering now, but there are still many troops left outside to set up camp!"
"Report, the scout came to report. In Linshui City, a day away from us, there is a unit of more than 50,000 set off. It is expected that it will reach our side very much tomorrow evening!"...
Qin Huaidao sat on the side of the Central Army tent, and people kept coming to report the latest situation.
"Duke Hu, do we have to move to the city behind? It's very dangerous here? In short, the entire army here will exceed 200,000, and there will be only 50,000 people here, which is not easy to fight!" Li Ancheng said to Qin Huaidao sitting on it.
"200,000 is not enough, more is needed. It would be best if 300,000 can be obtained!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Duke Hu, now our troops are still at a disadvantage in the plain!" A division commander who had just arrived spoke, named Ye Tengxiang, and two other division commanders, named Yu Changren and Liang Pingqi. They are relatively familiar with Qin Huaidao. Although they had never worked with Qin Huaidao before, they still knew Qin Huaidao's name.
"You should know, what is the purpose of our coming here, to attract their main force and completely kill them. Think about it, if we kill 300,000 of their troops here, how many troops can still move Goguryeo? Haven't you noticed that this time, Yoon Gassuwen has transferred all the troops that Goguryeo can draw!
If these troops are eaten, how can Goguryeo fight us? How many defenders in their cities are there? So we need to stand here. No matter how many troops they come, we cannot retreat. On the contrary, we will have to go out to kill." Qin Huaidao sat there, looking at them confidently and said.
"Duke Hu, this is very dangerous. We have nothing to do. If something happens to you, we can't explain it to Your Majesty!" Yu Changren looked at Qin Huaidao and said anxiously.
"What are you afraid of? Can they still hurt me? You just follow the orders. Don't you need to escort the prisoners to Nan'an City tomorrow night? Every time you send another battalion troops out. After arriving in Annan City, you must also take advantage of the evening to secretly set out to Linshui City.
I need you to pass the message from us to your side, and you will immediately take down the entire Linshui City. As long as you take down this place, the troops coming to Pyongyang will have no way out. Every time you send an extra battalion of troops out, you will not need it after two regiments of troops. At this time, Ye Tengxiang, you are responsible and draw the troops of your division!" Qin Huaidao said as he looked at Ye Tengxiang.
"Yes!" Ye Tengxiang immediately stood up after hearing this and bowed his hands.
"After taking down Linshui City, you will take down Yuanhe City. As long as these two cities are taken down, then the troops here really have no way out, and we can eat the troops here!" Qin Huaidao said to Ye Tengxiang.
"Yes!" Ye Tengxiang bowed and said again.
"But in this way, it's very dangerous for us here!" Yu Changren looked at Qin Huaidao and said worriedly.
"What's the danger? Isn't the defense outside done well? If they charge intensively, we will use lightning to bomb, and they can still kill in? Even if they are surrounded by them, they want to kill us, just a small army is not enough!" Qin Huaidao said to the three of them.
"Yes!" The three of them nodded.
"You don't have to worry. I have notified the two division commanders Cheng Yaoye and Liu Yujun. As long as the Goguryeo troops are coming to fight us, their troops will soon return to the rescue. At that time, kill them from behind. Don't think that we are fighting alone!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"But there are also a large number of enemies on the south side, and they are also facing great pressure!" Liang Pingqi looked at Qin Huaidao and said.
"How many enemies are there in the south? Baekje's troops have not moved yet. Now Baekje's troops still want to attack Silla. Moreover, there are at most 60,000 or 70,000 troops in the south. There are more than 40,000 soldiers there, and they are still afraid of 60,000 or 70,000 troops. They are still controlling the city!" Qin Huaidao looked at Liang Pingqi and said with a smile.
"Yes, it's just that this is too risky!" Yu Changren said worriedly.
"If you don't take risks, will they concentrate such troops to fight us? You should know that the other two troops have only captured less than 5 cities and suffered heavy casualties. But when we are here, if we want to fight, we will be defeated here, and we will fight more than 5 cities.
Why, it is not that our soldiers from the other two routes cannot fight, but that the road is difficult to walk on and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. There are also a large number of Goguryeo cavalry to harass them, which is very difficult to march. Now that they are gathered here, we should not deal with them to death, how can we let them go?" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to them.
"Yes, we can understand, just!"
"There is nothing but sending us here to do such a thing, and we are going to kill their main force. If we kill their main force, we should take the initiative here!" Qin Huaidao interrupted them and continued. They saw that Qin Huaidao insisted so much, so they didn't say much.
"I know what you are worried about, don't worry. If you have this worry, it's better to go to the command center to arrange defenses. Have those defensive positions been prepared?" Qin Huaidao sat there and continued to look at them and said.
"It has been all arranged, and the horse-rejecting piles and various trenches have been repaired!" Li Ancheng fought and said to Qin Huaidao.
"That's good, then wait for them to come over and let the soldiers be alert, don't let them come to attack the camp at night." Qin Huaidao said as he looked at them.
"No, please don't worry, Duke Hu, we have arranged everything outside!" Li Ancheng immediately bowed and said, Qin Huaidao nodded and continued to look at the map.
At this moment, on Chang'an City, Li Shimin had received Qin Huaidao's memorial. Qin Huaidao's memorial. Li Chengqian saw it before. After Li Chengqian finished reading it, he immediately stopped selling the Korean people. He still wanted to wait for Li Shimin to finish reading Qin Huaidao's memorial and issued instructions before saying that Qin Huaidao's letters required that those prisoners should not be regarded as slaves, but like the Turks and Tubos, they should be regarded as the future people of the Tang Dynasty.
Now they have been arrested, even if they are sold, the Tang Dynasty also needs to divide land and give them the identities of ordinary people. Of course, it is not enough to have such an identity now. Instead, they need to serve the Tang Dynasty for about ten years. As long as they abide by the laws and regulations in the Tang Dynasty for ten years, their identities can be recognized immediately.
Of course, now those merchants have the right to use them that can only be bought for 10 years. Ten years later, the merchants need to let them go. In addition, in these ten years, those who need to protect their lives must not be killed arbitrarily. Once discovered, they must be severely punished. When Li Zhi saw it, he also agreed, so he rushed to Chang'an.
