[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 20 Conquer 13

Goguryeo's internal war is obviously something that the Tang government likes to see.

Quan boy was defeated by the attack of his two younger brothers, and immediately fled from Pyongyang to the border town, and asked his son Quan Xiancheng to ask Tang Jun for help.

At this time, stationed on the border of Goguryeo was the new General of Youxiaowei Qibi Heli.In the 16th year of Zhenguan, Qibi Heli's subordinates conspired against him and kidnapped him to Xue Yantuo. His Majesty Li Er did not hesitate to exchange Qibi Heli for the princess's marriage.Therefore, although Qibi Heli was a foreigner, he was extremely loyal to Li Tang. When His Majesty Li Er passed away, he wanted to die with his own body, but Li Xiaojiu tried his best to stop him, so he stayed.

This time, Xue Rengui and Chen Mingzhen set off from the northeast, crossed Goguryeo and fought all the way to the hinterland of the peninsula. His Majesty Li Xiaojiu asked Qibi Heli to guard all the cities that were captured earlier.

Qibi Heli is a brave general, but he is not lacking in wisdom.

He didn't believe it at all when he first heard the boy from Quan asking for help, because now the soldiers and horses of Datang are attacking the Japanese navy who dared to come to provoke Datang in the southern part of the peninsula.

After hearing Quan Xiancheng's begging, Qibi Heli immediately sent someone to send Quan Xiancheng to Luoyang, and wrote an urgent secret report to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was stunned when he heard that Goguryeo had internal strife.

Immediately, several ministers from Zhengshitang, Minister of the Ministry of War Ren Yaxiang, Minister of Honglu Temple Xiao Siye and other important officials jointly asked to see His Majesty Li Xiaojiu. It seemed that they had also heard the latest news of the turmoil in Goguryeo.

Whether or not to take advantage of the fire to rob is not an issue, so these people should come to provide advice to the saint on how to destroy Goguryeo!

Li Zhi couldn't help being lifted up, and immediately waved his hand to the Wang's servant, saying: "Let all the ministers wait for me at the Hall of Liangyi..."

"I would like to obey." Wang Nei hesitated a bit after waiting on him and said, "Saint, the lady has sent a message, please go to Baifu Hall for dinner today..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi paused for a moment, and then responded: "You ask Ah Cui to answer the lady, and just say that I will definitely be there for dinner!"

These days, he has been busy with the military and political affairs of the peninsula, and his daily life is in Liangyi Hall. It is true that he hasn't visited Wu Xu and his two sons in Baifu Hall for several days...

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel ashamed. For the war on the peninsula a few days ago, Wu Xu, regardless of his own weight, has been accompanying him to read the battle report, make suggestions, and issue various orders...

In order not to make Wu Xu too tired, Li Zhi had to move to Liangyi Hall to work and live.

Now, the war with the Wa Kingdom is coming to an end, he should go back to Baifu Hall to tell Ah Wu the good news...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu straightened his mind, got up and walked to the front hall.

Now, he should think about how to dispatch troops to take down Goguryeo and Wa at the same time with the least loss.

Not to mention how His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and his ministers discussed the issue of conquering Goguryeo and Japan.

However, after Xue Rengui and Chen Mingzhen received Liu Rengui's good news and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's order to wipe out the enemy, they immediately commanded more than a hundred warships to deploy defenses on the southeast coast of the peninsula. The remaining fleet of hundreds of wooden boats was cut into several sections, and opened fire without saying anything.The warships sent by the Tang army this time were all tall and thick warships. When they rushed into the Japanese fleet, many Japanese wooden ships were crushed into wood residues. The Japanese army hadn't realized what was going on, no? Falling into the sea and drowning is to be shot to death with arrows by Tang Jun condescendingly!

By the time the Japanese army came back to their senses and wanted to fight back, they were already powerless.

The weapons and armor of the Japanese are quite backward. Except for the high-level generals who are equipped with iron armor and steel knives, the ordinary soldiers only wear leather armor outside the jacket, and the weapons they use are only wooden guns...

Many Japanese wooden boats that had not been crushed were scattered like frightened ducks. Accidentally, several Japanese boats collided into a ball, and many Japanese soldiers fell into the water.

A few Japanese generals who were quite clear-headed immediately commanded the ships to adjust their formation, and shot back at the big ships of the Tang army.

However, those arrows made of pure wood from the Japanese country can't shoot through the invincible warships of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, the Tang army is on the top and the Japanese army is on the bottom. There was a mark on the wall, so at least half of the arrows fell into the sea and were lost.

How could the Tang army allow the Japanese army to form a formation to resist or escape? When the Japanese fleet was scurrying around like headless flies, they had already formed an encirclement, encircling hundreds of Japanese wooden boats into three groups.

This was another one-sided battle. The three teams of the Tang army condescended to shoot wildly at the more than a hundred Japanese wooden boats surrounded in the middle-the arrows of the Tang army were not wooden arrows like the Japanese army, but real arrows. Fine steel white feather arrows - these are all military weapons that Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu spent a lot of money to improve.

After a shower of arrows, the Japanese people surrounded in the middle were all crying and howling.

Afterwards, Xue Rengui and Chen Mingzhen also followed Liu Rengui's way of burning the Japanese army, and asked the soldiers to light hemp arrows soaked in kerosene and shoot at the surrounded Japanese fleet...

The Japanese saw it badly, and desperately rammed the Tang fleet that surrounded them. However, the wooden boat that was shot by the rocket quickly turned into a ball of fire...

"Form up and return!" Seeing that all the ships of the Japanese army were set ablaze, Xue Rengui and Chen Mingzhen immediately ordered the fleet to turn left and right and leave in north-south direction...

The ships of the Tang Army were extremely fast. With the order of the main general, more than a hundred warships immediately moved away from the sea of ​​flames, throwing away the dozens of Japanese fireboats that were trying to destroy the warships of the Tang Army...

Those Japanese generals could only stare at the tail of Tang Jun's big ship.

The battle was over in less than eight hours.

The entire Japanese fleet was wiped out, and the Tang army only lost one medium-sized warship produced in the peninsula. This was at the time of the final retreat, because of its slow speed, it was accidentally rear-ended by its own big ship.

On the vast sea, without a boat, there is only a dead end.

And the Tang army didn't intend to take the Japanese who fell into the water. When cleaning the battlefield behind, except for a few Japanese who looked like generals, they shot and killed all the others.

When Xue Rengui and Chen Mingzhenjun returned triumphantly with a few Japanese generals, drastic changes took place in the north of the peninsula.

Gao Zang, the puppet king of Goguryeo, finally couldn't stand Quan Nanjian's control, and joined forces with civil and military officials loyal to the Gao family to launch a coup.

Quan Nanjian was assassinated to death, and his younger brother Quan Nanchan fled to Seoul in the south of Goguryeo with his personal guards to fight against the Gao government.

The boy Quan in the north breathed a sigh of relief, took this opportunity to drive away Quan Nanjian's besieging army, entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty himself, and surrendered to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

The gift he gave to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was quite large, and it was Anshi City, which blocked His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Expedition back then.

After His Majesty Li Xiaojiu accepted Quan Boy's surrender gift, he immediately appointed Quan Boy as a pacifier of Liaodong Province. As the name suggests, he was to be a guide to sweep the entire Goguryeo.

The Quan boy thought about Fu Yulong who led troops to kill the Japanese army in Baijiang Village not long ago. The son of the former king of Baekje could be treated favorably by Datang, and he should be no exception.

Therefore, the boy from Quan became a guide willingly, and gathered the forces left behind by his father, Quan Gai Suwen, to serve Datang together.

With the help of Boy Quan, Qibi Heli easily pushed the Tang cavalry to the domestic city not far from Pyongyang. .

In the face of life and death, Goguryeo King Gaozang and Izumi Nanchan shook hands and made peace, and jointly mobilized about [-] soldiers from all over the country to build a fortress south of Ma Zishui to resist the Tang army.

However, after Qibi Heli captured the domestic city, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu did not immediately order the guards guarding Jian'an City, Liaodong City, and Xincheng to attack with him. The general manager, General Zuo Wuwei, Su Dingfang, Duke of Xing Guo, are the chief managers of Pyongyang Road, Minister of the Ministry of War, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin, and Le'an County Government Ren Yaxiang are the chief managers of Weijiang Road, grain transport envoys Dou Yiji, Dugu Qingyun, Guo The generals of the land and water armies who waited for the seal were all under the control of Li Ji, and all the roads joined forces to attack Goguryeo.

In addition, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu will also mobilize all the hundreds of large warships left in Hainan to the direction of the Yellow Sea, preparing to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

In November of the third year of Xianqing, Li Ji took advantage of the Mazi water to freeze the river, and suddenly launched a general attack order, ordering Su Dingfang, Gao Kan, and Pang Tongshan to be the first to cross the river and break the five fortresses south of the Mazi water.Then Li Ji led the army out, crossed the river and chased for more than 200 miles, broke through the city of humiliation (now Yongrou in North Korea), and the defenders of other cities in Goguryeo fled or surrendered.At the beginning of December, the Tang army surrounded Pyongyang again.

Goguryeo King Gaozang originally wanted to stick to Pyongyang City and wait for the army of King Qin in the south, but he waited for Xue Rengui's army to destroy Goguryeo without stopping after killing the Japanese navy.

It turned out that Xue Rengui reported victory to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu in Luoyang immediately after destroying hundreds of ships backed by the Japanese kingdom.At that time, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had already received the news that Li Ji had defeated the Quannan army in Xueheshui. He was very happy. He got carried away for a while, and wanted to personally command the army to break through Pyongyang City to have fun. This can wait for Wu Xu and others He was terrified, and it was only by talking about it that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu gave up the idea of ​​personally conscripting.

Just when Xue Rengui's good news came, the queen's wife moved the disaster to the east, and asked His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to order Xue Rengui to be the head of the Consolation Road, and to enter the palace of Koguryo from the south to assist Li Ji's army to eliminate the remnants of Goguryeo.

Sure enough, Xue Rengui lived up to expectations, rushed from Baekje to the border of Goguryeo, took less than [-] days to conquer the last line of defense in the south of Goguryeo - Weili City, and then went all the way north.

20 days after Li Ji's army besieged Pyongyang, Xue Rengui's army and Li Ji's army successfully joined forces under the city of Pyongyang.

Gao Zang, the king of Goguryeo, saw that the general situation was over, and immediately tied up Quan Nanchan. He led more than 90 courtiers in white clothes and plain crowns to open the gate of Pyongyang and surrender to Li Ji.

So far, Goguryeo has perished.

The author has something to say: Goguryeo is also destroyed, and the next is the Wa country~~

ps: The fighting part is over soon, and the next step is to welcome the arrival of the three buns and the warm stories of Wu Xiaoxu's family =v=
