Chapter 965

Many people in Chang'an heard the cavalry who reported the victory and entered the city, but they did not believe it very much, and felt that the good news was repeated. However, when the news really spread, everyone realized that the good news was true.

The army that went to war actually captured Gaimu City in just one day!

Now, the whole of Chang'an was in sensation!

It is still a coincidence to capture Jian'an City in one day. It took only one day to capture Gaimu City. What does this mean?

This shows that although the emperor personally led the army to fight, he crushed Goguryeo's troops.

The incident caused a lot of controversy before, and the ministers in the court regarded the expedition as a disaster. They were indeed bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the ropes. In fact, they were not that scary at all.

Goguryeo is simply vulnerable!

Of course, not everyone feels so, especially the officials in the court. After calming down, many officials also feel that the subsequent war will not go so smoothly.

Jian'an City and Gaimu City were broken before they could hold on for a day. That was because artillery first appeared on the battlefield, and the defenders of Jian'an City and Gaimu City were caught off guard.

Once the city behind is prepared, it will not be so easy to be broken.

Especially the city behind is Liaodong City, which is the largest city in Liaodong and the gateway to Goguryeo. It is not so easy to conquer heavily in the army?

Back then, the Sui Dynasty attacked Liaodong City, but I don’t know how many casualties and injuries were found in Liaodong City!

Of course, now both civil officials, military generals and the people are very confident in capturing the Liaodong city, because the first two battles have proved the combat power of the army.

However, the battle in Liaodong City may not be so smooth.

Even so, Chang'an City was filled with joy and encouragement. The army going to fight won consecutive victories, of course, worth celebrating and happy.

But they didn't know that Liaodong City had been easily captured.

The city of Liaodong has returned to peace, and the corpses in the city have long been transported away. Even so, the city is still full of traces of war, and the smell of blood is floating everywhere in the city.

It was a great joy to conquer Liaodong City so smoothly, and another great joy was the pile of food and grass in Liaodong City.

Because Liaodong City was ready to stick to it, enough food and supplies for tens of thousands of troops were mobilized in advance.

Gao Yanshou was just rushing to escape, and he never thought of burning these sloppy things. Although Jin Zhenwu thought about it, before he could burn it, the Tang army had already entered the city.

In the end, the food and grass were only cheaper than the Tang army. When Li Shimin heard the news, he couldn't stop laughing, which greatly reduced the sloppy transport of supplies.

Although a lot of food and grass were seized in Jian'an City and Gaimu City, it was far less than that in Liaodong City.

Although he captured Liaodong City, Li Shimin did not rush to continue his troops because he no longer needed to rush to send troops. He seized three cities in a row, including Liaodong City, the largest city in Liaodong. The magical weapon such as artillery could no longer be concealed.

Moreover, although the city of Liaodong was captured, Liaodong had not yet been captured.

Although the Liaodong City was captured, there were Shicheng, Anshi City, Yanjin City, Xincheng, and Mudi City in the south of Liaodong City, but they were not captured.

Although the city is not big and has become a turtle in the jar, it still has to send troops to attack.

In the Viagra Mansion, Li Shimin is dispatching troops.

"Li Ji led 30,000 troops to attack Yanjin City, Yuchi Gong led 30,000 troops to attack Xincheng, and Cheng Yaojin led 30,000 troops to attack Anshi City..." Li Shimin ordered solemnly.

Li Ji and others came out to receive the orders one by one, but Su Cheng stood there very leisurely because he had nothing to do from beginning to end.

This time, the division of troops to attack the city was simply a scene of dividing the credit. The Liaodong city was captured, so it would be easy to capture small cities such as Xincheng?

Liaodong City was captured so quickly. What morale can the soldiers of other cities in Liaodong have? What combat power can they have?

So the previous one is the credit of the nude. Of course, Li Ji and others not only want to capture the city, but also compare the speed of the city.

Even Liaodong City was captured in just one day. If anyone can't conquer it for a long time, wouldn't it be a shame?

Moreover, if anyone is the last to capture the city, he will be even less embarrassed.

Therefore, Li Ji and the others are still very motivated, because what everyone is fighting for is not who can capture the city, but who will capture the city first.

Although he was not ordered, Su Cheng was not depressed at all.

Making meritorious deeds and other things are not attractive to Su Cheng at all. With the dazzling performance of artillery, his contribution is already great enough. At this time, he should give up the opportunity to make meritorious deeds to others.

So, Su Cheng stood there leisurely, like a bystander watching the fun, but soon he realized something was wrong, because everyone's eyes were all on him.

Su Cheng was a little confused. What do you all think of me?

The emperor has no orders to go to war, and I have nothing to do. Why do you think of me?

At this moment, Changsun Wuji stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, even if you want to divide your troops to attack the city, you don't have to divide your troops into four groups. Liaodong City must leave enough troops to guard it. Your Majesty's imperial guard is still in Liaodong City!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's enough to leave 30,000 troops, and there are musketeers from Shenji Camp. Goguryeo is now shocked, so how dare you take the initiative to attack? Even if there is really a Goguryeo army attacking, that's a good thing! Let them also try the power of muskets. If you are siegeing, muskets are not as good as cannons, but if you are defending the city, muskets are not necessarily weaker than cannons!"

Li Jing pondered: "I don't know if Yuan Gai Suwen's army has returned to the army, but I still have to send more scouts out to investigate!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is naturally. If you capture Liaodong City, you must be wary of Yuan Gaisuwen's army returning! However, in a short period of time, Yuan Gaisuwen's army should not appear! After all the troops are captured Liaodong, the whole army will be in a battle with Yuan Gaisuwen!"

"I will quickly conquer Liaodong and prepare for war!"

After hearing this, the generals were full of heroism. Nowadays, Goguryeo seems to be the only army of Yoon Gassuwen that can be fought!

Logically speaking, when Yoon Gaisuwen returns to his army, it means that Silla has been saved, which means that the purpose of the Eastern Expedition has been achieved, and it seems that there is no need to continue to advance into the depths of Goguryeo.

But at this moment, no one had any objections, and no one mentioned that Silla had retreated after being saved.

Even the civil servants who followed him had no objection. They captured Liaodong City with great momentum. The Goguryeo Army was simply vulnerable. If they retreated, wouldn't they become a fool?
