Chapter 49 Journey
The blue sky.
The pure white sheep.
Green grass.
A galloping horse.
On the vast grassland, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the river is gurgling.
A horse team kept galloping forward on the grassland. After a while, the horse team slowly stopped. The black horse at the head kept shaking its head and snorting.
Li Zhen was riding on horseback, looking at the 20,000 troops behind her, feeling proud in her heart.
Speaking of which, Cheng Yaojin was really slapped in the face. He had agreed to prepare 20,000 military horses for Li Zhen, but when Li Zhen set out, he only managed to collect 5,000.
Li Zhen had no choice but to take five thousand horses on the road. Fortunately, after entering the territory of Goguryeo, Xue Rengui attacked two large military horse farms of the Goguryeo people and obtained 20,000 horses at once. In this way, not only did each of the 20,000 soldiers One war horse was allocated, and 5,000 more war horses were kept in reserve.
As for the 20,000 soldiers behind them, because they grew up in Youzhou, they basically know how to ride horses. Although their bow and horse skills are not as good as those of the foreigners, there is always no problem in marching.
Since the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goguryeo, the army from the Central Plains has never entered Goguryeo again. Therefore, the border area between Goguryeo and Datang was very empty. The Goguryeo people never thought that the Tang army would suddenly enter, so they did not send any troops to guard the border. As a result, Li Zhen's troops easily entered from the grassland area near Liaodong City. Goguryeo.
After entering the territory of Goguryeo, Li Zhen set her sights on the new city. The new city was the only way to the Liaodong Peninsula. The Liaodong Peninsula had fertile land and was a famous granary of Goguryeo. If she could occupy the Liaodong Peninsula, even if it was an attack, It can bring great losses to Goguryeo.
Therefore, Li Zhen set his goal on the new city. Li Zhen did not want to occupy the new city. He knew that attacking the heavily guarded city of Goguryeo with his 20,000 men was basically the same as seeking death.
Therefore, his goal was to harass and rob Goguryeo to delay Goguryeo's farming season, and at the same time set fire to Goguryeo's grasslands so that their cattle and horses would have nothing to eat. In this way, Goguryeo would inevitably fall into trouble.
"Your Highness, if we go further, we will reach the farming area of ??Goguryeo. Fifty miles further, we will reach the new city. The new city is the gateway to the Liaodong Peninsula, and Anshi and Gaimu are the centers of the Liaodong Peninsula. However, the Goguryeo people are in Anshi. There are 100,000 soldiers stationed in the city, so even if we really capture the new city, we have to stay far away from Anshi."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "General Cheng's map is very clear. There are about five thousand Goguryeo soldiers guarding the Xincheng area. With the strength of our army, if we attack Xincheng by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, this battle can only Be smart, not attack by force.¡±
"Your Highness, do you really want to attack Xincheng? What if our army cannot capture Xincheng in a short time, and the Goguryeo army from Anshi in the south, the defenders of Liaodong City in the west, and the defenders of Goguryeo City (Xuantu) in the north arrive together, Then the twenty thousand of us will die without a burial place." Li Ruyi said anxiously on the side.
Li Zhen nodded and said: "If we occupy the new city before the Goguryeo people react, then the Goguryeo people will definitely fall into passivity. Even if all the Goguryeo soldiers come out, our army will be in a strategically active position. Well done." , we can defeat these Goguryeo people one by one!"
"It's too risky!" Xue Rengui said.
Li Zhen said: "Back then, General Li Jing led tens of thousands of elite troops to sneak attack on the Eastern Turk camp and wipe out the Turks in one fell swoop. Compared with General Li Jing, it was not a risk for us."
When Li Ruyi heard Li Zhen mention her father Li Jing, she looked proud, but she still said: "Your Highness, all the troops my father led back then were elites of the Tang Dynasty, but the troops we lead now can only be trained for less than ten days." , with the quality of soldiers like this, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be able to complete His Highness¡¯s deployment.¡±
Li Zhen said: "Soldiers are all fought in battles. After seeing blood, they will naturally become good soldiers. Moreover, a small new city, how can it be our goal?"
Everyone was shocked and thought that Xincheng was not the goal, so what was Li Zhen¡¯s real goal?
Li Zhen pointed on the map, and everyone looked to where Li Zhen was pointing. The place Li Zhen was pointing to was Goguryeo City (Xuan Tu).
In fact, Li Zhen has been thinking about how to cause the greatest damage to Goguryeo in the shortest time. If they only attack Xincheng, then Goguryeo soldiers will come from all over to help. In this way, not only will the result be small, but it will also be very dangerous.
But if we attack in two directions, attacking Xincheng on one side and Goguryeo City on the other, then the Goguryeo people will be very passive and the results will be much greater.
It¡¯s just thisThe plan was extremely risky. Li Zhen's soldiers were not trained to begin with and were not large in number. If they were divided again, they would be more effective.
"However, Li Zhen feels that you can do anything if you are 60% sure. If you wait until you are 100% sure, the opportunity will slip away.
Everyone secretly marveled at Li Zhen's boldness, but they had to admit that Li Zhen's move was definitely a wonderful move. He attacked from two directions, attacking from the north and the south, leaving the Goguryeo people confused. In this way, they would definitely be able to defeat the enemy. Get twice the result with half the effort.
Immediately, Li Zhen asked Xue Rengui and Li Ruyi to divide their troops into two groups as planned. Xue Rengui led 10,000 horses to attack Goguryeo City (Xuantu) northward, while Li Zhen and Li Ruyi led another 10,000 horses to attack the new city south.
Comparatively speaking, it is easier to enter Goguryeo City, because there are no large Goguryeo cities around Goguryeo City, and it will take a long time for reinforcements to arrive, so it is relatively safe.
But attacking the new city is different. There are many cities in the Liaodong Peninsula near the new city, with Liaodong City and Houhuang City behind it, and Chifeng, Anshi and Gaimou City to the south. Anshi, in particular, is home to a hundred thousand Goguryeo troops.
With just one mistake, the entire army may fall into a tight siege by the Goguryeo army.
Therefore, the path Li Zhen chose for herself was a relatively dangerous one. Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, you go to attack Goguryeo City, and I will go to attack Xincheng."
Li Zhenyi shook his head and said: "Good steel is used on the blade. As long as you capture the city of Goguryeo, the Goguryeo reinforcements will naturally come to the rescue. In this way, I will be safer. If we cannot capture the city of Goguryeo, then we are all afraid You will be trapped in a situation where you are attacked from both sides."
When Xue Rengui heard this, he realized that this was true. He immediately nodded and said goodbye to Li Zhen, then led 10,000 soldiers to Goguryeo City.
Looking at Xue Rengui's retreating back, Li Zhen's eyes flashed brightly. He knew that as long as he captured the new city, everything would be fine. Although Xue Rengui was a general, he was not good at planning. Let him go to conquer the new city. Not at ease. This matter of attacking Xincheng can only be done by myself.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen shouted: "The whole army sets off, the target is the new city!"
"Ding! Mission: Occupy the new city begins, the host must occupy the new city within one day" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
