Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Yuan Gai Suwen is now facing a problem. He can still draw about [-] troops in his hands, because he has to stay in the capital of Pyongyang with [-] to [-] troops.

This is the limit force he has now. There are more than 20 cities in Goguryeo, large and small, in Liaodong.

And now that he doesn't know the situation, he doesn't know how to support it. If all the troops are gathered, it will definitely be possible, but the question is, if the support troops pass, what will happen near Pyongyang?

He didn't forget that just less than [-] miles south of Pyongyang, there were also at least [-] elites from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty must have increased its troops in Silla.

This is just what they observed in Silla's frontline scouts. What if Datang added more than [-] elite personnel to Silla's frontline?If it is [-], [-]?

This means that once their [-] elites on the front line of Silla are breached, Datang will have the opportunity to drive directly to the capital, Pyongyang!

If there is no support, the situation will be even worse. Datang's entire army is dispatched, and now a mere [-] cavalry have blocked all their exits, which means that he knows nothing about the front line. Under such circumstances, if there is not enough support, Liaodong The front line is destined to be broken through.

At that time, the Tang army arrived at the Datong River (Later Yalu River, which was named Weishui before the Sui Dynasty, was called the Datong River in the Sui Dynasty, and was renamed the Yalu River in the Tang Dynasty, but some people in Goguryeo still called it the Datong River), and the whole Goguryeo was completely finished. .

Because on the front line of the Datong River, Goguryeo is not like the front line of Liaodong. There are so many important towns defending, and there is only one black bone city stationed in an important place on the front line of the Datong River.

But the Black Bone City can't guard the entire Datong River at all, and even Datang only needs to surround the Black Bone City, and then other troops can cross the Datong River and enter the hinterland of Goguryeo!

Therefore, the Liaodong defense line cannot be lost!

"General Yuan! Urgent report from Black Bone City!" With the arrival of a messenger, Yuan Gai Suwen became nervous instantly, and directly took the latest information from the messenger.

When Yuan Gai Suwen opened it, his brows furrowed instantly.

"General Qiyuan, the Tang army seems to have made a big move recently. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who were active in the vicinity of Liaodong appeared frequently near the Black Bone City, and the number continued to increase. Today, thousands of cavalry have been detected together at the same time. Near the Black Bone City, I now request to go out of the city to pursue, please order the general."

After reading the latest information, Yuan Gai Suwen frowned. The Black Bone City is the most important thing in the hinterland of Goguryeo, and it is absolutely impossible for it to go wrong. However, the Tang cavalry who had been mainly harassing before appeared It was near Black Bone City, and they still appeared in mass.

Does this mean that Datang has some conspiracy?

Or is there something wrong with the front line of Liaodong?

But no matter what, Yuan Gai Suwen felt that he could not wait any longer. Black Bone City only had [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] auxiliary soldiers. If there was an accident with this number, the entire Goguryeo would be completely destroyed.

"Give me the order." Yuan Gaisuwen called the messenger directly, "Now order General Hudar to lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to the Black Bone City quickly, and after joining the Black Bone City army, combine the Thousands of cavalry, a total of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, quickly supported Liaodong City."

"If the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty harass them, they should drive them away and go straight to Liaodong City without hesitation."

"Yes!"

As soon as Yuangai Suwen's order was issued, the entire army near Pyongyang City moved quickly and went straight to Black Bone City.

The reason why Qibi Heli and others began to assemble their troops was naturally not for other reasons, but because Datang's follow-up troops began to advance to the front line of Black Bone City, and their original task of blocking all investigations was naturally over.

Behind him is the 20 army of the Tang Dynasty, and Qibi Heli doesn't have to worry at all, so of course he has to gather troops.

During this period of time, because the enemy basically did not take much action, even the number of scouts sent out continuously was much less. After all, one scout required a team of five to ten people.

During this period of time, the scout Qibi Heli alone has arrested more than 500 people.

They don't have many troops to consume like this.

Now he is looking for an opportunity to see if the Black Bone City can take advantage of it. During this period of time, Qibi Heli has almost completed the investigation of the Black Bone City. This city is indeed not easy to attack. With one side backed by the Yalu River, there are only two sides that can be attacked, and the terrain on both sides is not so easy.

The side of the mountain is steep, and the mountain is not easy to climb.

But this is also for other sieges. For Datang, there is no bad direction to attack.Even Qibi Heli thought of how to attack.

From the upper reaches of the Yalu River, take advantage of the night to put the broken city mine directly on a wooden frame, and then go down the river. There is also a river channel leading into the city from the Yalu River under the wall of the Black Bone City next to the river. The drinking water river entered the city wall, and then detonated.

The city wall of the entire Black Bone City will inevitably collapse in a large area, although because the city wall is close to the river bank, even if the city wall collapses, it is impossible to use the collapsed place to attack.

But the collapse of the city wall may block the entire drinking water river.

The drinking water river is blocked, and there is no water source. Isn't it just a matter of minutes before Black Bone City surrenders?Of course, there are probably wells in the city, but whether the wells can support tens of thousands of people to drink is also a question.

After all, since there is a drinking water river entering the city, even if there are wells, they are only for convenience, and there will never be too many of them.

But it doesn't matter, the big deal is to directly blast the front city wall.

During this period of time, what Qibi Heli did the most was to investigate all the surrounding terrain. According to Li Shiji's order, when the time came, they would directly surround the Black Bone City, and when the Tang Dynasty ships from the lower reaches arrived, they could directly use the boats to cross the river.

However, there is still some time before the arrival of the army. Anyway, the army is not in a hurry now. The entire Koguryo is along the coastline, and the supply of Datang is quite simple.

Moreover, [-] soldiers were captured on the front line of Liaodong. These Goguryeo soldiers can also directly transport follow-up food and grass, which is quite simple.

As for whether these captives would rebel, Qibi Heli didn't think about it. Since General Li Shiji dared to use them, it proved that the problem with these captives was not a big deal, and General Li Shiji must have obtained some guarantees.

These are not issues that he, a forward general, needs to consider.

Qibi Heli's guess was correct. In fact, the reason why Li Shiji was not afraid of these captives' rebellion was also very simple. This had a lot to do with the governance of Datang for more than 20 days.
