In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the two armies of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo were configured as follows: on the first road, Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, leading more than 40,000 soldiers and horses and 500 warships from the four prefectures of Jiang, Huai, Ling, and Xia, and crossed the sea from Laizhou to Beisha City.Beisha City, that is, the Dalian of later generations.On the second road, he and Zuo Wei led the general Li Shiji, led 60,000 infantry cavalry and the Hu soldiers and horses who surrendered in Lan and Hezhou to attack Liaodong.In March of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Tao as the vanguard of the Tang Army, successfully arrived in Liucheng from Youzhou, that is, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province in the future, when Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan in the past, the Wuhuan people were here.It was also here that the first battle of the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo began.Ashina Daozhen obviously put a lot of effort into examining Taizong's use of troops against Goguryeo.happened to be bored during the march, so he was next to Su Dawei, chatting while walking, and boasting about his knowledge.His words attracted Su Qingjie and Heiya Changzhi from the flow of people, and gradually gathered around Su Dawei and formed an independent small circle.Everyone followed the brigade and rode slowly, listening to Ashina Daozhen continue."
Since ancient times, marching and fighting, logistics heavy grain and grass, for the first priority, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, eat the enemy a cup, when I twenty cups, from Chang'an to transport ten percent of the grain to Liaodong, the transfer is difficult, there is no one left.In the past, why did Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty make three expeditions to Goguryeo to lose the Great Sui, isn't it because the huge logistics dragged the people across.Hundreds of thousands of troops, there are millions of people in the rear to transport grain, and I don't know how many people will die along the way. ”After saying this, Su Qingjie first praised: "Daozhen, I didn't expect you to have such insight." ”Su Dawei also bowed his head and praised: "Not bad, not bad, Shibei should be impressed in three days." ”"That's nature!"
Ashina Daozhen raised his chin, with a proud face, that look, his nose was about to rise to the sky.The face is full of: Praise me, praise me.This little pride.Although Su Dawei has now been praised by Su Dingfang and a number of other Tang generals for his use of troops, he is really not very clear about the many battles of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and Taizong's expedition to Goguryeo.Thinking of the next battle, it is necessary not only to quell the restoration movement in Baekje, but also to destroy Goguryeo, and to teach the disobedient Silla a lesson.The more you know about the situation on the peninsula, the better.Thinking of this, he said to Ashina: "Then tell me, how did Taizong solve the problem of grain transportation?"
”"Oh, then I'll go on."
Ashina Zhen looked around and saw Su Qingjie, Hei Yan Changzhi, and even Wang Xiaojie at the back of the team quietly riding a horse and leaning up.He felt more and more proud, and there was a sense of complacency.coughed lightly twice and continued: "I'm not going to talk about transporting grain, let's talk about how that battle was fought......
After Li Tao led the vanguard to Liucheng, the first problem he encountered was that there was a Liaoze in front of him that was 200 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, and a Great Wall of more than 1,000 miles was built behind Liaoze.If Huaiyuan is attacked from the front, the distance is close, but when the Tang army attacks the Great Wall of Goguryeo, the Goguryeo people only need to release arrows from above, and the Tang army will suffer heavy losses.If you want to bypass Liaoze, you have to go another 400 miles north to get through.However, Tongding also had a large number of Goguryeo troops, and if it could not be attacked, our army would inevitably run out of food. ”Su Dawei listened attentively, and probably made up the terrain in his mind.In order to march to battle, it is necessary to have a good sense of space and distance, including the perception of the terrain and environment.Without this, no matter how smart you are, you can't become a famous player.While thinking, he continued to ask: "How did Li Tao use troops in the face of this situation?"
”The British still had a way, he made a big splash in Liaoze, and publicized everywhere that he wanted to cross Liaoze to fight Huaiyuan Town, and the Goguryeo army believed it and was busy transferring the soldiers and horses on the north and south sides to Huaiyuan through the Great Wall.Next, Li Tao's soldiers divided into two routes, led by himself all the way, marched 400 miles in a hurry, and attacked Dingcheng by surprise.One route was led by Zhang Jian to the Hu soldiers, who ran four hundred miles southward, crossed Liaoze, and attacked Jian'an City.So both sides won.On April 1, he took Tongding, forcibly crossed Liaodong, and directly killed Xuansu. ”Su Dawei nodded again and again after hearing this, and the generals were also amazed.Everyone understands this trick, but few can really use it.The first is how to convince the enemy that you are real.Even their own people have to believe that they are going to attack that place.Secondly, it is necessary to quickly break through the enemy's exposed flaws before they can react.It is also necessary to be prepared in case the enemy is clever, and ambush himself.There is a high level of intelligence and psychokinesis involved.Non-famous generals can't do it.Su Dawei silently matched the place name with the place in his mind.Jian'an City, that is, Yingkou, Liaoning in later generations.As for Xuansu, it is Shenyang in later generations.By laying these two key nodes, the Tang military has a base for advancing and a strategic basis for the follow-up implementation.Shenyang was in Xuansu in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a big city.There will be bread in the city.In this way, the food crisis of the Tang army was solved.It is also possible to use the big city as a transshipment point for grain.Li Tao deserves to be Li Tao.With this battle alone, he is worthy of the name of a famous general.Moreover, this move directly broke through the Great Wall built by Goguryeo with a huge amount of money, making this majestic artificial natural hazard originally intended to be a desperate fortress for the Tang army, and became a chicken rib like the Maginot Line.In April, Li Tao and Li Daozong successfully captured the city of Gaimu, capturing more than 20,000 people and more than 100,000 stone of grain.In May, Zhang Liang led the navy to cross the sea from Laizhou, attacked Beisha City at night, and captured 8,000 people.In May, Taizong led the follow-up army to Liaoze, and ordered the general to make the master Yan Lide to build a large number of buildings day and night, meet Ze to pad the soil, meet the water to build a bridge, in just five days, tens of thousands of troops crossed the 200 miles of swampland. ”"Wait, Yan Lide?""
It's Yan Liben's brother.""
Oh, I said it sounded so familiar, it turned out that he was in charge of the engineering soldiers.""
Work......
What engineering troops?
”"Ahem, don't care about this, keep talking, how will Taizong use troops next?"
Su Dawei coughed lightly, his eyes swept around, and the carriages and horses were still moving forward with the flow of people.There are more and more people around, including Heizhi Changzhi, An Wensheng, Wang Xiaojie, and Lou Shide.Even Captain Xue Shaoyi didn't know when he quietly rode over.Seeing Su Dawei looking at him, Xue Shaoyi smiled at him, nodded slightly, pointed to Ashina Daozhen, and then pointed to his ears.Su Dawei nodded.The men in the army are all studious.When it comes to fighting with soldiers, they are all fascinated.Let the horse continue to move forward with the team, and listen to Ashina Daozhen continue: "After crossing Liaoze, Taizong decided to fight against the water to show his heart of victory.Therefore, he ordered the bridge to cross the river to be demolished, and led the army and Li Tao's vanguard to march to Liaodong City.You must know that in the past, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, and the million-strong army did not take Liaodong City. ”"What about the back?
What's next?
How did Goguryeo react?
”Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but interject."
The 60,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two ways to kill Liaodong City, and Goguryeo also sent about 40,000 foot cavalry to rush to the aid of Liaodong.Next, it was Li Tao and Li Daozong's vanguard who met this group of enemy troops outside the city of Liaodong.At that time, the vanguard was less than 10,000 people, and it had marched more than 3,000 miles and fought continuously for more than a month.Many soldiers suggested sticking to it and making plans when Taizong's main force came. ”When Su Dawei heard this, he finally couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If you don't dare to fight at this time, the sharp spirit of the army will be lost." ”Ashina Dao really looked at him strangely: "Ami said right, at that time, Li Daozong, the king of the city, categorically refused to hold on, in his opinion, although there are many enemies, but they also come from afar, and the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, especially as a vanguard, they can't retreat to avoid the battle, which weakens the courage of the Tang Dynasty." ”"Okay, what a Li Daozong!"
Su Dawei rode the dragon and couldn't help but praise.He vaguely remembered that in the fourth year of Yonghui, Li Daozong was involved in the case of Fang's widow's love and rebellion, and was exiled to Xiangzhou, and died of illness on the way.I couldn't help but secretly say a pity for this famous general who was born in the Li Tang clan.Just as Xue Wanche shouted before he died: Wanche is a good athlete, and he can't die on the battlefield.Soldiers, the horse leather shroud is the best way home."
Dao Zhen, go on, I don't know much about this matter, keep talking."
Su Qingjie urged on the side.Ashina Daozhen cleared his throat and continued: "Li Tao listened to Li Daozong's words, praised his courage, and gave Li Daozong 4,000 horsemen to block the more than 40,000 Goguryeo troops. ”Four thousand, to forty thousand.In other words, the Tang Army must block ten with one in this battle.After encountering the enemy, Li Daozong's subordinate Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Ma Wenju took the initiative to ask for battle, and said sharply, if he did not meet the enemy, how could he show a strong man, leading a group of men and horses, to launch a surprise attack on the enemy ten times his size.Ma Wenju's courage greatly increased the morale of the Tang army, and they moved forward bravely one by one.Dancing and dancing with a knife, cutting when you see someone, invincible. ”"It shouldn't be so easy to win, right?"
The Goguryeo people's combat power was not so weak. ”"You said yes, after the Goguryeo army experienced the initial panic, it quickly organized a counterattack, after the fierce battle, after all, the difference in strength was too great, the Tang army gradually lost its support, and what was even more dangerous was that Zhang Junyi, the head of the march, was actually beaten back again and again, and had no power to fight back."
Ashina's true words raised the hearts of all the young generals present.Although, they knew that it was a battle more than ten years ago, and Datang would not lose.But in my heart, there was an inexplicable trace of anxiety.Su Qingjie urged: "Don't sell Guanzi, what happened later?"
”"The camp of the Tang army began to disperse, and many soldiers began to flee in all directions."
As soon as he said this, everyone was anxious.Su Qingjie's face darkened.Wang Xiaojie's face turned red.Su Dawei thought in his heart: The soldiers have fled, this is a sign of defeat, can you still win in this way?
If I were Li Daozong, how should I turn the tide at that time?
If the vanguard of the Tang Army loses, it will not only greatly damage the strength of the Tang Army, but also form a fatal blow to morale, and even affect the success or failure of subsequent battles.The battle situation of the Tang Dynasty against Goguryeo affected the whole body.You can't take a step back.I only listened to Ashina's true words: "Li Daozong, who was pressing the rear at that time, was furious, he called the retreating dozens of horsemen, and led them to a nearby hill and high ground to inspect, and finally found a flaw in the Goguryeo army.It turned out that the Goguryeo army was only concerned with pursuit, and its own formation began to scatter.So Li Daozong took these dozens of horsemen and rushed towards the enemy's most hostile place.They rushed and slashed, as if they were in a no-man's land.Li Tao, who was at the rear of the battlefield, was also red-eyed when he saw the Tang army retreating.He didn't care about his safety as the commander of the three armies, and with the last remaining reserves, about 2,000 people rushed forward together, slashing and killing with all his might.The battle has come to this, and the boss and deputy marshal have all rushed to the front line to fight......"
Ashina Daozhen said this, stopping and gasping for breath.As a result, everyone was glaring at him."
Go on, don't stop here!""
Can you gasp again when you're done?"
Su Dawei scolded even more: "Broken dog!
