Datang Library

At the beginning, Datang quickly captured the five cities of Goguryeo—Liaodong City, Anshi City, Jian'an City, Jili City, and Beisha City—with lightning-like means. Since then, it has occupied the Liaodong Peninsula, and put Datang's blade on the tip of Goguryeo's nose. However, the [-] Tang troops guarded the five cities firmly, and under the condition of watching and helping each other, Goguryeo was completely unable to regain them.

But it is different now, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Khitan, and Mohe secretly joined forces.

When the Khitan envoys were massacred by two hundred guards in Zhongnan Academy, they had already sent a letter to the Khitan king to fight for revenge, but how dare the Khitan?Photographed in the military might of the Tang Dynasty, he also wrote back to reprimand Yelubao who was sent as an envoy.

Later, after all the envoys were detained by the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan had no choice but to come up with no money, so they had to discuss with Goguryeo and Mohe to attack the Northeast Army of the Tang Dynasty, so as to capture the prisoners and exchange them for envoys.

In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda guarded the Liaodong Peninsula. Cheng Yaojin guarded Liaodong City, and Niu Jinda guarded Beisha City. They echoed each other from head to tail. They have been in peace for two years, and Cheng Yaojin went out to hunt from time to time, and went to Goguryeo. It can be said that it is quite arrogant to buy some specialty products.

On this day, Cheng Yaojin was having a banquet with his subordinates at the Lord's Mansion of Liaodong City, when he saw a bloody messenger rush in.

"General help!

Beisha City is besieged and is in dire straits. General please rescue quickly. I am afraid that General Niu will be in danger if you arrive late. "

What? ? ?

Cheng Yaojin stood up with a bang, and even turned over the table in front of him. Seeing that it was the letter from Niu Jinda's first lieutenant in person, he knew something was wrong, and angrily shouted: "What happened, tell me quickly."

The deputy general cried and said: "Three days ago, Goguryeo suddenly surrounded Beisha City with an army of [-] and began to attack the city violently. General Niu knew the situation was urgent when he saw the enemy's fierceness and he did not see Jili City from the north for help. So at the end of the night, when he was about to fall out of the city, he rushed to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, the last general passed by along the way to know that the reinforcements from Jili City were blocked by [-] Goguryeo thieves and they were not allowed to go south. Even the reinforcements from Jian'an City were unable to pass. Time to report.

General, I beg you to send your troops quickly to rescue General Niu. The enemy is powerful and must be rushing to break the city. "

Everyone has understood, Cheng Yaojin stopped talking, "Come here, take Vice General Hu to rest and recuperate.

Brothers, Goguryeo thieves are so daring?Dare to offend my Tang Dynasty, I agree, quickly raise [-] troops, leave [-] to defend the city, and we will go south to rescue the old cow.

I believe it only takes three days, Lao Niu will be able to hold on, when the time comes, we will collect soldiers and horses all the way, and we will cooperate with the inside and outside, so that Goguryeo Bangzi can see the military power of Datang.

Go to the army quickly, and the army will be dispatched in two hours. "

The [-] troops stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula for two years, there is nothing to do, daily hunting and training, hoarding food and grass by the way, after two years, each city has a lot of food and grass, so the army is dispatched, and there is no need to worry about transporting food for short-term battles , as long as the city is not broken, it can be said that there will be food wherever Cheng Yaojin takes his people.

At the head of Beisha city, Niu Jinda was already covered in blood, not his own blood, but the blood spurted by the enemy who rushed to the city head and was killed by him.

Niu Jinda's name is Niu Xiu, and his style name is Jinda. He was a rare fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty. He is 36 years old this year. He is confident that holding on for ten days is not a problem.

"General, the sudden arrival of the enemy this time, and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Jili City and Jian'an City in the north, could something have happened to Lao Hu?"

Another lieutenant beside him wiped the blood on the knife while worrying.

The old Hu he was talking about was Deputy General Hu who was going to report the letter. It was already night, and the two sides were resting after the battle, and they were hurrying to recuperate. Every day in the offensive and defensive battles, Datang had to pay at least a thousand losses, and Goguryeo came this time. The people are extremely brave, and the soldiers and horses are also elite, so the battle loss is only one to two, and Goguryeo's daily loss is less than three thousand, which makes Niu Jinda feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Shaking his head, he said: "The enemy will not ignore our two cities' mutual horns. Someone must have stopped the reinforcements from Jili City. As for Lao Hu, hey! I hope nothing will happen. At this time, we will fight together and report to the north. It's a narrow escape.

But our five cities are connected, even if Lao Hu didn't report the news, General Beifang will know the news within five days, so as long as we hold on for ten days, there will be a turning point, tell brothers, the city is there, the people are there, the city Destroyed. "

Niu Jinda's calculations were correct. When Beisha City was guarded for the eighth day, Cheng Yaojin finally arrived with the [-] reinforcements gathered along the way. After passing through Jili City, he encountered [-] Goguryeo troops who prevented the rescue. After killing the other party, Cheng Yaojin didn't wait to think about it, and came straight to Beisha City with his troops.

At this time, there were less than 1 people at the top of Beisha City. The more days passed, the greater the losses every day. When the reinforcements arrived, there were still [-] defenders guarding the city, and it was the limit to be able to block it for another two days.

Seeing a torrent in the north from a distance, with a banner written with Cheng characters on it, Niu Jinda finally smiled on his blood-stained face, reinforcements are coming!

"Brothers, the reinforcements are here, let's fight out with the generals, cooperate inside and outside, and avenge the brothers!"

Chapter 2 today, and Chapter 3 tonight.

Chapter 5 and Nine Fall into Calculator Cheng Niu's Distress

The general of Goguryeo’s side is named Nusa Yanshou. Like Ulji Mundeok, he is a famous Goguryeo general who has experienced many battles, and he is a general trusted by Yuan Gaisuwen. Wen Junzheng took it easy, but when the big opponent Lu was away, this son Sa Yanshou was in charge of military power.

Not long ago, when the Khitan people contacted Goguryeo to send troops, Goguryeo had different opinions, because they had already sent people to prepare money to redeem people in the Tang Dynasty. After all, Goguryeo had money, and redeeming people could save their lives, so this plan was safer.

Sending troops to take risks, let alone whether it will be successful or not, if the hostages are successfully taken, Datang refuses to accept it, and the war will be over.

However, even if Sa Yanshou owns the military alone, it is difficult for him to support himself. After all, the power of money belongs to the ministers of the DPRK, and the minister of finance needs to calculate the gains and losses when the big opponent Lu is not there.

In addition, Yuangai Suwen seized power not long ago, and his power was not yet stable. Many people in the court still favored the lord Gao Jianwen. In addition, with the instigation of Khitan and Mohe envoys, [-]% of Goguryeo officials supported the war.

Moreover, many of the military commanders were brooding about the loss of five cities two years ago, and wanted to take revenge a long time ago. However, when Datang and Khitan teamed up, Goguryeo did not dare to attack. Tomb, abandoned allies, Khitan switched to Goguryeo, then it is no problem to regain the five cities in this surprise attack.

Therefore, the Goguryeo people who had finished the discussion urgently recalled the redeeming envoys who had been sent out for three days, and waited for an opportunity to sneak attack on the Northeast garrison of the Tang Dynasty.

Thus, there was this sneak attack on Beisha City.

After holding on for eight days, [-]% of the soldiers under his command died. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, it was time for revenge. Niu Jinda and the city guards came down to the city with red eyes and rushed out with their troops.

The north gate was wide open, and without waiting for the Goguryeo people from outside to rush in, the Datang defenders in the city rushed out three thousand, led by Niu Xiu and Niu Jinda, screaming to cooperate with the outside reinforcements and attack the Goguryeo people who were attacking the city.

Sa Yanshou of Goguryeo saw it, well, [-] reinforcements came as soon as Datang came, and there were less than [-] troops on his own side. The troops in the city quickly retreated to the east like a tide.

Niu Jinda turned around and pursued, Cheng Yaojin also led the cavalry to chase after him, yelling and cursing all the way. After chasing for ten miles, he gave up, and the two sides joined forces and came back to the city.

"Lao Niu, what's the loss? Goguryeo is so ugly, sooner or later I will lead my brothers to destroy them." Cheng Yaojin asked with concern.

Niu Jinda, who returned to the City Lord's Mansion, sat down on the ground and said sadly: "Hey! Old Cheng, if you come one day late, brother will be finished. This time the thief came suddenly, we were not prepared enough, and we lost seven of them. Thirty percent are all wounded."

Cheng Yaojin comforted: "Okay, don't cry, the brothers didn't die in vain, the Goguryeo people must have lost more, I, Da Tang Erlang, am not a coward."

"That's right, if they don't leave [-] corpses under the city, then my life will be in vain."

"Stop bragging, you're proud to win the city defense battle with one-for-two? If it's my old Cheng, at least one-for-three.

Fortunately, we have saved Beisha City. It was Maogong's strategy to connect the five cities of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, it seems that it is really unbreakable. Each city has [-] troops. Who has heard of such a force?This is to use the five cities as the main city of the state road for defense.

Little Goguryeo wants to break this big net with 8 people?Then someone has to beat Maogong first. "Cheng Yaojin said proudly.

Seeing Lieutenant Hu who came back with Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda felt at ease, arranged for people to deal with the post-war affairs, and brought a few lieutenants and Cheng Yaojin's people to start the post-war summary.

"Old Cheng, the sudden arrival of the enemy this time, no, it should be something strange. It stands to reason that it is cold winter just after the New Year's Eve, and it is impossible to start a big war. There is ice and snow everywhere. If it weren't for the heated kang and cotton clothes of the Tang Dynasty, our defenders would be here I can't get used to it.

Although he was born here in Goguryeo, he rarely fought in winter, so this matter is a bit weird. "Niu Jinda has some ideas in his mind, and he wants to summarize and analyze them with everyone.

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he also began to frown, "It's really inexplicable. With an army of 8, how many troops does Goguryeo have? This time, it cost a lot of money. If it's just to regain the city, it shouldn't be chosen at this time. Winter Going to war is not good for them either.

So, something happened. "

At this time, Wang Dadu, Cheng Yaojin's deputy general, said: "Could it be related to the events of the past few days? Not long ago, the Tang Dynasty came to send a letter to Goguryeo. The Guoshu asked Goguryeo to bring money to redeem people, could it be that they didn't want to redeem people and used troops to oppress us?"

"Well, it makes sense. Hmph, Bangzi has such a big appetite. A mere 8 people is like fighting against my 10 people? You underestimate us too. It seems that when I hunt in the future, I need to increase my strength. It’s just that robbing property and population is not enough, so I’ll find time to hunt a city and let them see what military power is.” Cheng Yaojin sneered disdainfully.

That's right, Cheng Yaojin's daily hunting is not that hunting, the target is the people of Goguryeo, not wild beasts. It can be said that the great general of Tang Dynasty is the most prestigious road robber in the world. This is his old man. After working in the Northeast for two years in my own business, Cheng Yaojin can be said to have had a good time.

After a day of recuperation in the city, leaving 1 people to Niu Jinda to continue to defend, Cheng Yaojin will lead his troops back. After all, the troops in the other cities cannot leave for a long time.

But before he could lead people out of the city, Beisha City was besieged again, and this time it wasn't just [-] troops, but a full [-] troops.
