Chapter 90: Siege the city and attack the aid

Half an hour later, all the senior generals in the army gathered in Li Shiji's account. Cai@hong*wen￥xue%

Li Shiji had no expression at all. He looked at the generals in the tent and said, according to the latest information we have obtained, a group of Goryeo reinforcements is about 40,000, and is heading towards Liaodong City. Currently, about 200 miles away from Liaodong City. According to the speed of the Goryeo people, they will arrive at Liaodong City at night or early the day after tomorrow. In the Wugucheng area, there are about 150,000 Goryeo reinforcements from Pyongyang. These 150,000 Goryeo troops are also supporting Liaodong City, and will arrive in a few days according to the itinerary! How should our army deal with Goryeo reinforcements and attack Liaodong City? If you have any ideas, you can express your opinions!"

After hearing the military situation reported by Li Shiji, all the generals showed a look of horror. Good guy, Goryeo actually sent nearly 200,000 reinforcements to rescue Liaodong. Quangai Suwen was really a big deal. This was probably because Goryeo used all the troops that could be mobilized to gamble.

Before the war, our intelligence personnel had a good understanding of Goryeo. According to the information inquired before the war, the number of troops that Goryeo could mobilize was about 500,000, and the total number of troops stationed in Zhucheng, Liaodong was about 200,000. This time, nearly 200,000 came to aid. Even if the temporary recruitment was added, the total number of troops guarding Yalushui to Pyongyang was only 100,000 to 200,000. It is very simple that Wang Yi, who came to this calculation, couldn't help but make a thump in his heart. Quangasuwen drew so many troops to support Liaodong. Are you not afraid of my army raiding from the sea to attack Pyongyang? Or is the Goryeo people not my navy army will directly attack Pyongyang and have not made any defense? Or, the Pyongyang Road army did not advance directly to Pyongyang as arranged before the war, but instead landed in Liaodong as recorded in history?

The last result was what Wang Yi was most worried about, but when he thought of having a conversation with Li Shimin before the war, Li Shimin also specifically ordered Zhang Liang and Su Dingfang, who were leading the troops before the war, to have the famous general Su Dingfang, so this situation would not have happened.

The specific situation is not what we need to understand the most urgently. What we need to solve the most now is how to deal with the 200,000 Koryo army coming to aid. The number of Koryo army increased several times faster than our army, and Liaodong City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our method of quickly siege the city cannot be used twice. Even if it is used, it will be difficult to achieve this battle.

It was precisely because Wang Yi had the largest number of defenders in Liaodong City and the defenders were famous Goryeo generals with great combat experience that he did not choose Liaodong at the initial attack target. Instead, he captured other Zhucheng and concentrated his efforts to attack Liaodong City, so that he would not be afraid of the Goryeo people from nearby Zhucheng coming to support him.

Now the neighboring Zhucheng is not able to support him, but reinforcements from Pyongyang have arrived to support Liaodong. In this case, it is not possible to fight against the Koreans head-on. Even if our army can win, the price will definitely be very high. We must take some strategies and use our own directors to eliminate the enemy who came to support him. Thinking of this, Wang Yi already had an idea!

But before Wang Yi wanted to stand up and express his opinion, Deputy Chief General Li Daozong stood up first and said loudly to the commander. The last general felt that we should move to the east of Liaodong City with the most elite troops to fight against the Goryeo reinforcements. Taking advantage of our army's rapid maneuver and attack and penetration capabilities, we will launch a surprise attack on the Goryeo reinforcements first, defeating or even annihilation of the enemy coming to aid. Liaodong City still sieges without attacking. If our army can annihilate the invading enemy, the defenders of Liaodong City will not be able to support them and will definitely surrender to our army!"

Wang Yi could not have imagined that what Li Daozong wanted was exactly the same as him, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart and immediately stood up, "Master, General Mo felt that what the Deputy General said made a lot of sense. General Mo also felt that our army should siege Liaodong City without attacking it. First, the enemy who will aid will be eliminated, and then force the Liaodong City to surrender. If Liaodong City does not capture it, the Goryeo reinforcements will come one after another. We can take a siege to attack the city and greatly consume the living power of the Goryeo people. The Goryeo people will send most of their forces to Liaodong, and the defense in the Pyongyang area will be empty. The pressure on our Pyongyang Army will be much less. If we defeat several Goryeo reinforcements, in the fear of the Goryeo people, we can also send several armies to quickly attack Pyongyang, and together with the Pyongyang Army to capture Pyongyang City!"

After Wang Yi finished speaking, the general marching chief, Jiang Xingben, stood up and said to the general. The general thought that the large number of troops from Goryeo came to aid, and that our army would destroy the invading enemy while besieging the city. The risk was too great. As the general thought, it would be better to dig deep trenches and high bases to hold on, and wait for the large troops who were accompanying the emperor's carriage to arrive and attack the enemy together, and that would be less risky!"

The surrendered Hu general Ashinaser also stood up and expressed the same opinion as Jiang Xingben. "Master, General Jiang thinks what General Jiang said makes sense. General Jiang also thinks that we should build fortifications in the east of Liaodong City, relying on the mountains, bury ambush, fight and block the arrival of enemy reinforcements. When our subsequent army and materials arrive, we will face the enemy again! The Goryeo comes with momentum, our army should avoid its edge and annihilate it when its morale is eliminated!"

Then Zhishili also stood up and said that we should wait for subsequent reinforcements to arrive and only after the military funds arrived, the attack on the enemy was launched.

Qibing Heli, who joined forces with Wang Yi to capture Gaimu City, expressed a different view from the other Hu generals, "Master, the last general thinks what Deputy General Li and General Wang say is reasonable. Our army has strong raid capabilities and few opponents have encountered them in so many years. We should take the initiative to attack. Using our army's advantages to defeat Goryeo is the best strategy and should not be passively defended! Although Goryeo has 40,000 people to help, they march very quickly. Arriving outside Liaodong City, they will definitely become tired troops. Our army has rested and their strength has been restored. If our army can take the initiative to attack, and when the Goryeo reinforcements have not arrived in Liaodong City, they will launch a surprise attack on them. The unexpected Goryeo reinforcements will definitely be defeated immediately. The threat faced by our army can be solved immediately. The defenders of Liaodong City hope that the reinforcements will be hopeless and will surrender soon!"

He heard what Qibi Heli said, Wang Yi stood up again and said loudly to the commander. The last general believed that the main general of the Goryeo reinforcements would probably rely on the large number of troops to show contempt for us. In addition, they rushed to Liaodong and wanted to lift the siege of Liaodong early. They would not be on strict guards during the rapid advance. Our army was able to use the cover of the terrain to launch a sudden attack on the Goryeo reinforcements and defeat them far away from Liaodong City! As General Qibi said, they must be very tired when they came from afar. How many of our army would be

We won all the battles, were in high morale, and we were rested. The Goryeo people were not physically comparable to our army! Although the number of Goryeo troops was large, our army was much stronger, but the Goryeo army was low in combat power, especially the cavalry, which was all randomly divided and was not the opponent of our Tang Dynasty's soldiers. If we attacked the Goryeo reinforcements with our elite cavalry, the enemy would be defeated quickly! This not only can solve the danger in front of us, but also can intimidate the enemy in Liaodong..."

At this time, Cheng Mingzhen also stood up and said loudly that the general was to agree with what Deputy General Li, General Wang, and General Qi Bi said that our army's advantage is to eliminate the enemy in movement. When encountering a strong enemy, we should not take the initiative to defend the way, but should take the initiative to attack! Our army should take the initiative to fight against the Goryeo army coming to aid and defeat it far away from Liaodong City. If all the Goryeo army that will aid will be wiped out, it will definitely greatly shock the defenders of Liaodong City, and they may surrender without fighting!"

Cheng Mingzhen said, and turned his head to smile at Wang Yi beside him, with a little bit of the same meaning as the heroes saw.

Wang Yi also smiled at him. Cheng Mingzhen's name was of course his famous general made amnesty and military achievements at the end of Zhenguan and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. It was recorded in history. His Cheng Wuting had a greater reputation in history and was a famous general who fought against the Turks. Unfortunately, he was killed by Wu Zetian. Wang Yi didn't know if Cheng Mingzhen had brought his brave and good combat with him this time.

After Cheng Mingzhen finished speaking, Wang Yi stood up again and said arrogantly that the general was willing to lead an army east to fight against the reinforcements of Goryeo. The general was willing to issue an order to destroy all the reinforcements of Goryeo!"

Seeing Wang Yi say this, Li Daozong also stood up and pleaded loudly, "Master, the last general is willing to lead an army to fight against the reinforcements of Goryeo!"

Then Qiheli, Cheng Mingzhen, Zhishili, Ashinsheer and other generals also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to lead their troops to fight against the Goryeo reinforcements. The opposition just now disappeared, and all the generals became supportive and actively responded to the Goryeo reinforcements.

Li Shiji still did not make any statement because it was of great importance and the emperor's will had not been sent yet, so he could not make up his mind.

As the deputy general manager, Li Daozong looked at Li Shiji who was a little hesitant, then looked at the generals, and said in a more intense tone, the soldiers led by our Liaodongdao Military Department should clear up all obstacles and wait for the emperor's car to arrive. They can only launch an offensive against the enemy after the troops led by His Majesty arrive and leave the enemy to the emperor to solve the problem?"

Li Daozong's words greatly touched Li Shiji. He pondered for a while and then said that the deputy commander's words were very reasonable. The enemy reinforcements were coming, and the emperor's carriage was coming. We should defeat the enemy before we can welcome the saint here! The commander decided that our army would divide the troops to fight, and continued to siege the city with one team, and the others went east to fight the Koryo army coming to reinforce!"

Li Shiji swept over the generals and said in a deep voice that who would lead the army to block the enemy reinforcements?"

"Master General, I am willing to lead the army to defend against the enemy!" Li Daozong asked for his order first.

Wang Yi stood up behind Li Daozong, "Master, the last general is willing to lead the army to eliminate the enemy coming to aid!"

"Master, I am willing to lead the army to attack and eliminate the enemy coming to support!" Qi Bi Heli immediately stood up and said.

Then the other generals expressed their willingness to take the order to attack.

Li Shiji looked at the generals one by one, thought for a while, and then made up his mind, "That is, Deputy Commander Li, General Wang Yi, General Qibi Heli, each leading an army, with a total of 30,000 people to block the Goryeo army coming to aid, and they must be wiped out all!"

"I will respect the commander of the commander!" Li Daozong, Wang Yi, and Qi Zhuheli stood up and responded loudly.

"The rest of the troops, led by our general, will continue to siege Liaodong City without siege or attack. If the defenders in the city take the initiative to attack, they must be wiped out!"

"Yes!" The other generals also answered in unison!
