Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3344

Changsun Wuji's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "The old minister understands that he will definitely tell the dog to go all out, even if he has a knife and an ax to do, he must complete this important task."

Not only made him, but also everyone present understand what His Majesty Li Er meant.

If this battle is successful, Chang Sun Chong must have done a great job, and the whole family will benefit from it, but if something goes wrong, don't even think about pushing things on Chang Sun Chong.

The whole family benefits when they are successful, and the whole family has to bear it when they make mistakes.

It may not be because he doesn't trust Changsun Wuji, but it is also equivalent to putting a shackle on Changsun Chong, so that he will not act recklessly in Ping Rang City and ruin major events.

Because once the eldest grandson makes a mistake, the result is likely to lead to an extremely unfavorable ending for the army, and no one can accept such consequences...

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said: "Tell Chang Sun Chong, I can let go of the guilt of his past crimes, but no matter where he is, he is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and he must have the thoughts of family and country in his heart, and don't act willfully and ruin us. big deal!"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "The old minister knows!"

He understood that His Majesty Li Er was not responsible for this matter, it was really a matter of great importance, and he must let Chang Sun Chong do his best, otherwise if something went wrong...he simply didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Originally, His Majesty Li Er wanted to weaken the eldest grandson's family, and then weakened the entire Guanlongmen Clan. If the elder grandson made a mistake in this matter, resulting in serious losses to the army, and even affecting the entire battle situation, then His Majesty Li Er would punish the eldest grandson's family in a fit of anger. I am afraid that there is no civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty who speaks for the eldest grandson's family.

His Majesty Li Er is very satisfied with Changsun Wuji's reaction, as long as he knows the seriousness, he believes that Changsun Wuji can handle the matter safely. Although Changsun Chong committed the crime of treason, he has always recognized his ability .

Looking around at everyone, they were all famous generals who had been with him for many years. This made him more confident, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I don't need to say anything about the relationship between this battle. The rise of Goguryeo in Liaodong has a vast territory and a large population. Its multiplication and prosperity will surely break through the Great Wall and drink horses in the Yellow River decades later, and become a serious problem for the confidants of the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, this battle is not for my private name, nor is it for your military achievements. It is actually a hidden danger to wipe out the empire. Peace for all ages. For this reason, I do not hesitate to pour the power of the whole country, regardless of many oppositions, and resolutely resolutely fight in person! In this battle, if you win this battle, you will be famous forever and create a great cause that will last forever; if you lose, you will be ruined. Future generations will ridicule and insult me, even though my generation will die!"

These words are really sonorous and impassioned.

With a sound of "Hula", all the generals stood up together, and among the clangs of the armor leaves, they knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The ministers are willing to follow your majesty and create a foundation of eternal peace. Personal life and death, honor and disgrace, are all out of the question , even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will die!"

"very good!"

His Majesty Li Er also stood up, with his hands behind his hands, his eyes bright, and he said loudly: "The current situation is difficult and the war is unfavorable, but how has it ever been so smooth for me and all my loves? Outside Hulao Pass, I Put yourself on the rocks, three thousand broke one hundred thousand, how can today's Goguryeo be stronger than Wang Shichong back then? All you need to do is to go forward, regardless of personal gains and losses, and you will surely be invincible and achieve success in no time!"

"Swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

All the generals responded with a bang.

*****
The next morning, the sky was dark and snowy.

In the camp of the Tang army, the drums were beating, the flags were fierce, the horses were neighing, and the armor and leaves were clanging. Teams of Tang troops in full armor rushed out of the camp, and then followed the banners of their respective teams and brigade commanders, line by line, Line by line, they headed towards Ping Rang City in front of them.

Teams of cavalry cavalry in formations, galloping horses and wielding horizontal knives charged towards the defense lines built by the Goguryeo army. With the sound of horns in the wind and snow, the Tang army suddenly launched a general offensive in this early morning. Hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into several camps. , The tide generally rushed to the position of the Goguryeo army.

The first to bear the brunt is Ayutthaya Mountain City.

This place is the gateway to the north of Pingrang City, tightly controlling the main road to and from Pingrang City. Behind it is the Anhe Palace, and behind it is the Seven Star Gate.

Before the Tang army attacked Dacheng Mountain City several times, but Yuan Gai Suwen appointed his younger brother Yuan Pure Land here, supplemented by tens of thousands of troops, to resist the Tang army's offensive tenaciously. guarding the north gate of Ping Rang City.

Therefore, the first stop of the Tang army's general offensive was Dacheng Mountain City.

Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin assembled a large army, brazenly attacking the city against the wind and snow, even though the city was like rain of arrows and rolling logs, they still rushed and fought regardless of casualties.The Goguryeo army, caught off guard, did not expect why the Tang army launched such a large-scale charge without warning. Before recovering, the Tang army swarmed up to the already dilapidated city wall and planted gunpowder. With the sound of "boom", the walls of Dacheng Mountain City were blown up section by section.

The heroic Tang army rushed towards the city along the gap in the collapsed city wall, and the tide flooded into the city.

Yuan Jingtu was distraught, but he was unwilling to criticize the soldiers under his command. The Tang army's continuous strong attack for many days had already caused heavy casualties, exhaustion, and low morale to the defenders in the city. For eight days, I am afraid that I will surrender without a fight.

But at this moment, it is natural that the Tang army cannot be allowed to occupy the mountain city, and then look down at Pingrang City from a high position, and launch an attack on the basis of the situation.

Putting on the armor neatly, Yuan Jingtu led his own soldiers and rushed out of the barracks, gathering the scattered soldiers all the way to fight against the city wall, and fought head-on with the swarming Tang army.

Although the Tang army was mighty in battle, the Goguryeo soldiers all understood the strategic position of the mountain city of Dacheng. Once the mountain city was lost, the Tang army could guard the northern gate of Pingrang city, and then unscrupulously launched a fierce attack to the bottom of Pingrang city. Afraid of death, he actually blocked the Tang army near the city wall for a while, making it difficult to advance an inch.

Behind the battle formation, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanche, who watched the enemy's formation, rode on horseback with their helmets on. They saw that the army had already entered the city and was blocked from entering the city. A general in the city is organizing an army to resist.

Cheng Yaojin said: "The enemy army must have a general commanding under the city, maybe it is the mountain city guarding the Yuan Pure Land. If it continues to delay, it will be very unfavorable to the battle situation. You and I might as well lead our troops into the city and kill the generals. flag, the defenders will collapse, what does General Xue think?"

Xue Wanche sat on his horse, nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Duke Lu is a veteran in the battlefield, I firmly believe it. But I dare not bother Duke Lu, I will serve you at the end of the day."

Cheng Yaojin laughed, nodded Xue Wanche with his fingers, and scolded: "You have been getting close to Fang Er in the past two years, and you have also learned the cunning character of that kid. You obviously want to grab credit, but you have to say it like this It's as grand as it sounds. Forget it, the old man is old, how can he put such trivial achievements in his eyes? I will leave it to you."

Xue Wanche also laughed, clasped his hands together and said, "Then I would like to thank Duke Lu for fulfilling it!"

The strategic location of Ayutthaya Mountain City is very important, otherwise Goguryeo would not have stationed heavy troops here, and the Tang army had not captured it despite the fierce attack for many days.If he was able to capture the city and kill the defenders, such feats would not be the "little merits" that Cheng Yaojin said.

Although he has a tough temper, he is not stupid, he knows that Cheng Yaojin is selling favors to others, otherwise Cheng Yaojin is the main one among the two, how can it be his turn to compete for meritorious service?

Immediately summoned the generals, led more than a thousand elite descendants, took the lead amidst the rumbling drums, and rushed to the mountain city of Dacheng.

Xue Wanche galloped his horse, dismounted at the foot of Deshan City, threw the reins to the soldiers behind him, and leaped up the collapsed city wall with a horizontal knife in his hands. More than a thousand soldiers followed and entered the city.

Heavy snow fell, and the soldiers of both sides fought in a group in the area under the mountain city wall.Because the terrain is narrow and covered with rubble and bricks from the collapsed city walls, it is impossible to maintain the formation, so the two sides fight in one place, without distinction between the enemy and the enemy.

Fortunately, the military uniforms of the two sides are different, so it is not likely to accidentally injure the friendly army...

Xue Wanche stood on the ruins of the city wall, condescendingly observing the situation on the battlefield below the city. When he saw a group of Goguryeo troops advancing and retreating in an orderly manner not far from the left, he knew it must be the enemy general. He pointed his sword and shouted: : "Follow me to kill!"

Leaping off the ruins, rushed into the city, slashed a Goguryeo soldier standing in front of him to the ground, and rushed forward aggressively.

Behind him are all elite soldiers, each one counts as ten, and more than a thousand people stay in formation, with a clear goal, unstoppable, forcibly killing a bloody path on the battlefield, and heading straight for the goal.
