I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Shimin's brows were furrowed, his eyes full of surprise, and he blurted out involuntarily: "Ah?"

Then he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Wei Zheng, and asked again, "Lord Wei, are you saying that Goguryeo is truly doomed this time?"

There was an imperceptible tremor in the voice.

With the experience he had accumulated from many years of fighting in the south and the north, there was no doubt that the Tang Dynasty would win the final victory in this war with Goguryeo.

With so many troops, it would be a problem if we don’t win!

But he had anticipated that the road to victory would be full of difficulties and obstacles.

There will inevitably be a series of bloody and tough battles waiting for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to overcome.

After all, if Goguryeo could be conquered so easily, it should have been completely eliminated as early as the Sui Dynasty, relying on its powerful national strength and military force.

How could this hidden danger be allowed to persist until the present Tang Dynasty, still becoming a difficult thorn in the side of the Tang border, causing Li Shimin to worry about it?

At this moment, listening to Wei Zheng's decisive tone, it seemed as if defeating Goguryeo was just a piece of cake, as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but ripple, and his doubts grew stronger.

He shook his head slightly.

Wei Zheng has always been giving advice in the court and assisting the king in handling government affairs. He is just a civil servant and has never really experienced the cruel fighting of swords and sabers on the battlefield where life and death are at stake. How could he know the mysterious and profound way of using troops!

It's only natural that Wei Zheng doesn't know military affairs! He can understand it!

As for Wei Zheng, it seemed as if he had not heard Li Shimin's words at all.

His attention had long been deeply attracted by the neatly arranged Qianwu cannons, and his eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.

At this time, on the battlefield outside the tent, command flags were waving wildly in the air.

"Calibrating!" The loud shouts of the artillery suddenly broke the brief silence.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of "Calibration completed! The target is right in the middle!" and "Calibration completed!" came one after another, colliding and echoing in the air, creating a tense and busy atmosphere that lasted for a long time.

A full half hour passed before the noisy sound gradually subsided like the tide receding.

Qin Ruzhao rushed towards where Li Chengqian was like a gust of wind.

Before he could dismount and salute Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's decisive voice rang out.

"No need to dismount, go quickly and pass on my orders."

Li Chengqian stood tall, raised his chin slightly, and shouted loudly: "Fire!"

"Yes!"

Qin Gezhao responded quickly on horseback. He clasped his hands together, received the order, and without hesitation, quickly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.

"By order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"fire!"

Messengers rode fast horses across the battlefield, waving bright and eye-catching flags in their hands, shouting at the top of their lungs with all their strength, and the sound lingered for a long time.

Qin Ruzhao held the spear tightly in one hand and held the red main flag that symbolized the highest order in the other.

This scene made the old ministers who were watching the battle full of confusion and lost their direction.

All of them had been through hundreds of battles and had seen all kinds of war scenes and tactical strategies, but this was the first time they had witnessed such an unprecedented way of fighting.

Their eyes passed over the busy figures in front of them and fell on the towering Great Wall in the distance.

The Great Wall stretched in front of them, blocking everyone's view and separating the Tang army from Huaiyuan City outside the Great Wall.

How is this going to be fought?

Even though they knew that the goal this time was to attack Huaiyuan City, the Great Wall in front of them was so high that if they wanted to reach Huaiyuan City, they had to cross the barrier of the Great Wall first!
