If we were asked to attack, we would probably only risk our lives to rush to the city like the veteran General Wang Wendu, and then use a blasting tube to blow up the city wall." A very burly young man looked at the tall Beisha City in the distance and said with a serious look.

The young man was wearing the uniform uniform of the military academy, and behind him was a huge sea boat. It seemed that he had just gotten off the boat. There were many military academy students wearing the same uniform as him around him. If Li Yan was here, he would recognize that the burly young man who was talking was Cheng Huailiang.

"Brother Cheng, you are wrong. Now even if you use the method of Wang Wendu's old general, you may not be able to blow up the walls of Beisha City." At this time, the strong Li Yong and the tall and burly Xue Rengui also walked over and said, beside them, Qin Huaiyu, Li Jingye and others were all there. There were more than 1,000 military academy students sent to Silla this time, and almost all of the friends who were friends with Li Yan were there.

"Oh, why is this?" Cheng Huailiang asked in confusion. He knew that Li Yong had participated in the war to destroy Goguryeo and knew more about the situation here than he did, and the others also looked at Li Yong with curiosity.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by him, Li Yong felt very accomplished and coughed lightly and said, "You don't know that when Goguryeo occupied this place, because their national strength was limited and the technology of building a city could not be compared with our Tang Dynasty, the walls of Beisha City were not very solid. It is precisely because of this that they were blown up by General Wang with a blasting tube. However, since our Tang Dynasty occupied this place, the walls of Beisha City were demolished and rebuilt, using a large amount of cement and rocks, which were extremely solid. I guess even if it was blown up with a large amount of gunpowder, it would not be able to explode in a short time!"

Hearing Li Yong's explanation, Cheng Huailiang and others nodded repeatedly. Although the power of gunpowder is good, it can only deal with city walls built by small countries like Goguryeo. If it is used to deal with big cities like Chang'an, the effect will probably be greatly reduced. Although the Beisha City in front of you is not as good as Chang'an, it is almost the same as the solidity of the city wall. It may even be stronger. After all, this is a specially built war fortress, which is essentially different from Chang'an.

This is a military dock under Beisha City. All the military academy students from Chang'an got off the boat here and then entered Beisha City for a night of rest. The next day, the students were divided into dozens of groups. Each group had to examine the terrain of Beisha City separately and then made a combat plan to attack Beisha City, which was also one of their homework for internships.

All the students of these schools have to go to Li Yan for internship. Originally, Beisha City is still quite a distance from Silla. The reason for getting off the boat here is that according to the school's arrangements, they have to march from here to Silla. When they encounter fortresses like Beisha City on the way, they have to survey the local area and make combat plans to increase their on-site combat experience. After all, what they learn in books is dead knowledge, and only if they apply it to reality can they be considered to be truly integrated.

Cheng Huailiang and his team stayed in Beisha City for a few days, and after completing the combat plan here, they set off again. Although it was November now, the extremely cold land of Liaodong was iced, and there were few pedestrians on the road, but Cheng Huailiang and the military academy students all walked forward on foot. The thick cotton coats and shoes helped them block the bitter cold wind. Although the various military rations they carried were not good, they could provide a lot of calories and nutrition, so that their pace of progress would never stop!

Although the journey was very difficult, Huailiang and others also gained a lot. They not only saw various terrain and cities, making what they learned practical, but also enjoyed the scenery along the way. Although the Andong Protectorate looks very desolate in winter, there are farms and mines run by Guanzhong immigrants everywhere along the way.

The owners of these farms and mines were also very welcome to the arrival of military academy students. They not only arranged their accommodations for them, but also joined forces to hold a grand bonfire party. A group of people ate barbecue around the fire, which was extremely happy. The owners asked them about the recent situation in Guanzhong. After all, they hadn't been back for a long time, so it was naturally very rare to meet these fellow villagers here. Unfortunately, this situation is not much. Most of the time they spend their time in boring, otherwise they would really want to go on like this for the rest of their lives.

After nearly a month of marching, the group of military academy students finally entered Silla. When passing by Pyongyang, they were naturally warmly entertained by Zhang Jian. However, Li Yong, Zhang Jian's old subordinate, was a little unlucky. He was drunk by Zhang Jian and a group of subordinates, and almost got up from bed the next day.

Next, Li Yong was the guide and took the school students to visit the battlefield where the last battle with the Goguryeo army was first fought, and explained the cruel battle of life and death at that time in detail. He was a participant in the battle and was injured. His brothers were also killed here, so Li Yong had a deep memory of this battle.

After leaving Pyongyang, the group of military academy students immediately moved towards Silla Jincheng. They were actually very curious about the small country of Silla. This was mainly because of the existence of Silla maids. For example, the noble children of Cheng Huailiang, which family does not have Silla maids? In addition, they also knew that the little princess Sitang who was sent back to Chang'an by Li Yan also had a hard time with Silla. In addition, Li Yan married the current Silla queen, so they always wanted to see what kind of country Silla is?

However, when the students entered Silla, they were surprised to find that the most they saw along the way were the Tang Dynasty merchants who were constantly communicating between Pyongyang and Silla. These merchants either transported various supplies or brought workers recruited from Silla to contact Pyongyang and Jincheng. Even in this cold winter, they did not feel desolate at all, but there was a bustling atmosphere.

In addition, Cheng Huailiang and the others also found that in some cities they passed by, especially in the border cities near Pyongyang, many factories were under construction, and some of the already built factories were already starting to produce, but most of these factories were Silla women working, while men were very rare.

In fact, after a year of war, Silla suffered great damage in all aspects. The most serious thing was that the population was the great imbalance in the ratio of men and women. In addition, the unscrupulous Tang Dynasty merchants recruited a large number of men and women in Silla to work, which made the situation of more men and girls in Silla worsen again. Even except for the elderly and children, it is difficult to find a middle-aged man within a hundred miles.

So after Cheng Huailiang and the others came here, they thought they were just like coming to the Kingdom of Women, especially some brave Silla girls. They were already at the age of marriage, but no one could marry. Fortunately, because of Li Yan's arrival, not only brought the army of the Tang Dynasty, but also many merchants from the Tang Dynasty. However, compared with the petty merchants, these mighty Tang soldiers were more popular with Silla girls. For example, Cheng Huailiang and the others, they were attracted by the hot eyes of many Silla girls along the way, which made everyone feel very novel. Even if it weren't for the military order, they would have dared to take a few Silla concubines.

Unfortunately, the time is wrong. For the deep affection of those Silla girls, they had to shake their heads and turn around and continue to head towards Jincheng. However, most of them secretly swear in their hearts that if they are not so anxious to go back this time, they must take a few back!

With this regretful feeling, more than a thousand military academy students finally arrived in Jincheng, and Li Yan had already received the news of their arrival. Not only did he go out to greet the city in person, but he also held a grand banquet to help him with these people who had been waiting for a long time.

After this welcoming banquet, Li Yan invited Cheng Huailiang, Li Yong, Li Jingye and others as a private person. In addition, Xue Rengui and Li Yan's old subordinate Su Dingfang naturally came. Speaking of which, Su Dingfang is still Li Yan's subordinate, but he is temporarily studying in the military academy. After graduation, he will still come back to serve under Li Yan.

After having a drink with these old friends, Li Yan immediately organized the students of the school to join the army he brought from Dengzhou, and they served as middle and low-level generals at all levels. This is also a test for them. After all, what they learned in the military academy are all basic theories. If you want to truly grow up, you must fight between blood and fire. Silla and Baekje, a not-so-hard battlefield, can be just the first step for their growth.

After this group of cadets from the military academy were incorporated into the army, they immediately began to work hard to train. After all, compared with the original army, they were all a group of outsiders. If they wanted to truly command the soldiers, they had to show their corresponding abilities. So now Li Yan gave them time. When these school students were fully recognized by the entire army, it was the time when this army could exert their maximum combat power.

In addition, Li Yan himself was not idle. Since he wanted to take action against Baekje, it was not enough to have an army alone. Another key factor in the war was logistics. Therefore, over the past period of time, the fleets between Silla and Dengzhou have been constantly traveling, and countless food and military supplies were transported from Dengzhou to Silla. At the same time, the troops from all over Silla were also mobilized frequently. It can be said that under the urging of Li Yan, the entire Silla was running again and began to prepare for the war with all its might. However, the protagonist of this war became Li Yan and Baekje.
