Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 622 Li Er's Decision

Goguryeo reacted quickly, but still couldn't keep up with Tang Jun's attack speed!

After the Tang army captured Gaimu City, Goguryeo's envoys finally arrived outside the city and asked Zhang Datang to admit defeat and admit his mistake!
The main combat faction of Goguryeo is Quan Gai Su Wen's lineage, but now the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, leaving a boy from Quan Gai Su Wen who is hard to support alone!

Goguryeo's remaining land is now divided into two halves, one half is Pyongyang City and other cities controlled by the Goguryeo royal family, and the other city is under the rule of the boys of Jiashicheng Spring!

The Goguryeo royal family can now say that there is no place to cry for their grievances. It was Quan Gai Su Wen who angered Datang, but Quan Gai Su Wen had already died, and his son had already gone to Jiashi City.

Now it is the royal family of Goguryeo who bears the anger of the Tang Dynasty. This is really wronged to the death!
Emperor Tang had no interest in receiving Goguryeo's envoys at all, but threw them into the city and guarded them, not allowing anyone to approach them!
Now that the supplies of the Heavenly Punishment Army have also been transported from the sea, and the next step is to take Goguryeo in one go, how could Li Er give up!

Taking down Goguryeo was something that Emperor Sui Yang never did. If he could do it, the world would know that Li Shimin is better than Yang Guang!
Goguryeo's territory spans [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south.It roughly includes the eastern part of Liaoning, the southern part of Jilin and the northern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula.

Now Tang Jun has crossed the Yalu River and hit the Korean Peninsula!
It has to be mentioned here that ancient Goguryeo and royal Goguryeo are not the same thing at all!

No matter in terms of historical origin, territorial scope or ethnic composition, there is no essential connection between the two.Ancient Goryeo was a regime established by the ethnic minorities in the ancient Northeast. Two-thirds of its territory was in Liaodong, which is now the eastern part of Liaoning Province. The territory of the Korean Peninsula was actually obtained from expansion.The Wang family Koryo was a dynasty founded more than 200 years after the demise of ancient Koryo, and its founder, Wang Jian, had no Koguryo blood at all.

Now, as long as Tang Jun takes Anshi City in front of him, Pyongyang City will be completely exposed to Tang Jun's soldiers!In such a situation, if you ask Li Er to give up, isn't that a joke?
As the acropolis of Pyongyang City, Anshi City's defense capability is still higher than that of Liaodong City.What's more, the Tang army has been driving the Goguryeo army, and now it has pushed to the door of other people's houses.

Goguryeo has also gathered 15 troops in Anshicheng, and vowed to defend Anshicheng to the death!

And according to the previous situation of the Tang army, their Heavenly Punishment Army has not been on the battlefield for a long time, which also gave the Koryo Army great courage!
The two groups of Li Daozong and Zhang Jian are also rushing to Gaimu City now. The city captured by the Tang army happens to surround the remaining cities in the east of Goguryeo.

Only the direction of Silla Baekje and Mohe remained, which was also the territory ruled by the remnants of Quangaesuwen.Now, the Goguryeo royal family is tantamount to catching a turtle in a urn, and they are that turtle!

Before the war, Goguryeo had a connection with Silla Baekje and wanted to resist the Tang army.It's just that Silla Baekje is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty had no clear intention, they rushed to make a move, which was disrespectful to the suzerain country and played into the hands of the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, Goguryeo is now alone!

And it was at this time that the news from Chang'an came!
Tuyuhun, Western Turks, Tubo, Xueyantuo, Khitan, Shiwei, Mohe, Silla, Baekje, Linyi, and the Western Regions' envoys to the Tang Dynasty have already set off!
Of course this news cannot be hidden from Goguryeo, they finally waited for this moment!

In Gaimu City, Li Shimin held the report with a headache. Before the battle, he thought about the exposure of the Heavenly Punishment Army.It's just that I didn't expect that this matter would be used by Goguryeo to check and balance the emperor!

Visiting from many countries, he, the emperor, is not here, so it can't be justified!Moreover, among these countries, there are many powerful countries such as Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Tuyuhun.

He also understands that the reason for this multi-national visit is nothing more than the Heaven's Punishment Army!
In the past, Japan and Tubo went to Chang'an to pay tribute to learn the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty.During the reign of Wude, Datang, as the kingdom of heaven, also agreed!

But during the Zhenguan period, the Japanese sent people to learn culture and technology, but they were rejected by a person with absurd but correct reasons, and finally reached a condition of exchanging gold and silver mines!
It's just that there are too many countries coming this time. If these countries have a unified caliber and hold Datang to a high point, they will propose to learn the equipment of the Heaven's Punishment Army.

That's hard to say no to!
If one is not good, it is likely that these countries will unite the front and resist or even attack Datang together!
In this way, Li Er's idea of ​​capturing Goguryeo and then moving to Tuyuhun, and then taking Gaochang was in vain!
The eldest grandson Wuji was sent from Liaodong City, along with a group of civil servants and military generals, to start a discussion on this crisis!

Finally, such a plan was determined!
Li Er must go back!There is no doubt that, now that the prince is in charge of the country, it is impossible to handle such a big matter properly, and it may even lead to a crisis!

But Goguryeo has already reached here, so it's a pity to give up!
Therefore, Li Er left his guard of honor here, while he himself returned from the sea with the Xuanjia Army!
The guard of honor remains, and the sergeants will still think that the emperor is here.And Goguryeo will regret that their strategy did not succeed!
Going back from the sea, on the one hand, is to avoid the spies of Goguryeo, on the other hand, because it will be faster to walk by sea!
As for the courtiers who were worried about the dangers at sea, they let go of their worries after seeing the huge treasure ship!

As soon as the emperor left, the Tang army immediately launched an attack.In the attack on Goguryeo this time, the [-]-day penalty army did not have a single casualty!
The Heaven's Punishment Army will never fight the enemy head-on. Even if they encounter a head-on attack, they will just fire a round of guns and give up the place!
As for other troops, there were many casualties, but not many!When the Heavenly Punishment Army had sufficient artillery fire, the Tang Army only paid dozens of casualties each time, and would win a city!
When the Heaven's Punishment Army died down, the Goguryeo Army was scared out of their wits, and then found that the Heaven's Punishment Army had stopped, and went out of the city to meet the enemy, and was severely beaten by the Shenji Battalion!
Therefore, after fighting for more than a month and taking more than half of Goguryeo's territory, the loss of the Tang army only reached more than [-] people!

During the Northern Expedition of the Tang Army, no sergeant was frozen to death!

The well-matched sweaters and trousers, as well as the shoes made of cotton, kept these soldiers from getting too cold even in the cold northern Xinjiang!

At most, the fingers and toes were frostbitten, but no one died of freezing!

In addition, the military doctors trained by Xincheng Hospital, as long as they didn't die on the wall or were seriously injured, their lives were saved!

It can be said that Datang's army has now achieved a qualitative leap!
