Chapter 291 Fierce Stick Army
Yuangaisuwen is the Moli branch of Goguryeo, who is basically equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and now the Goguryeo King Gaozang is supported by Yuangaisuwen, so Yuangaisuwen not only has a heavy army, but also is in the Goguryeo kingdom. Domination.
Yuan Gai Suwen was rebellious by nature, brutally suppressed internally, expanded wildly externally, and repeatedly attacked Silla. After the dissuasion of the Tang Dynasty was ineffective, it led to the expedition of Goguryeo by Tang Taizong Li Shimin. However, due to the weather, Tang Taizong Li Shimin had to return to the dynasty despite the heavy damage to the Goguryeo country.
However, after Taizong Li Shimin returned to the dynasty, he still sent Tang troops to harass Koguryo, destroying the agriculture of Koguryo.
The news of the second Xuanwumen coup reached Goguryeo, and Yuangaisuwen said to King Gaozang of Goguryeo: "Li Chengqian is just a young boy, he is not as brave and good at fighting as Li Shimin, and I am afraid it is difficult to control the arrogant soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. And Li Chengqian passed the When the coup comes to power, the power and position may not be stable, and it is impossible to mobilize the power of the whole country to come to Liaodong, we can take the opportunity to regain lost ground and bite off a large area of the Tang Dynasty."
Although the Goguryeo King Gaozang was not a complete puppet, in the face of major military affairs, he could only follow Yuangaisuwen, and immediately issued a decree to unite the Baekje Kingdom and send troops to Tang and Silla at the same time.
In the direction of Silla, a small number of Goguryeo troops united with the army of Baekje to attack Silla; while Yuan Gaisuwen personally led 30,000 Goguryeo troops, known as 100,000, to attack Baegam City.
Baiyan City was originally the territory of Goguryeo, but when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin went on an expedition to Goguryeo, he successively occupied a large area of Goguryeo and turned Baiyan City into a military fortress.
However, the Tang army in Baiyan City only had more than 1,000 people. In the face of the attack of 30,000 Goguryeo troops, after a few days of persistence, they were finally broken by Yuangaisuwen.
Yuan Gai Suwen led the Goguryeo army and surrounded the remaining 800 Tang army groups. The tenacious resistance of the Tang army made Yuan Gai Suwen very angry.
A Goguryeo general persuaded: "Don't leave the branch, the two armies are at war, and the killing of prisoners is ominous. Moreover, these Tang troops are all good warriors. I have been fighting for years in Goguryeo, and I am short of labor. It is better to send it back to the country as a slave."
Yuangai Suwen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you questioning my decision?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The general was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.
Immediately, Yuangaisuwen's 30,000 Goguryeo troops killed all of the 800 Tang troops, blood flowing down the small Baiyan City.
Yuangai Suwen then said: "Compared to the Tang Dynasty, I, Koguryo, are only a small country, the country is poor and the people are scarce, and if you want to take the land of the Tang Dynasty, you must be killed. Lost a point of strength. In addition, in order to reward the soldiers for their hard work, I allow the soldiers to have fun in Baiyan City for three days!"
The so-called "playing" is actually close to slaughtering a city. The feudal army has no political ideals and fights bravely, all relying on the stimulation of official positions and money, and "slaughtering the city" is one of the behaviors that can stimulate the morale of the army most, because it stimulates the human nature. evil.
If it is said that these people are all from the Tang Dynasty, it is enough. Among these people, there are only a few people from the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are from Goguryeo. After all, this is the land of Goguryeo.
Through indiscriminate killing of innocents, rape and murder of women, killing of young children and robbery, these Goguryeo troops gradually formed a ferocity, which was exactly what Yuangaysuwen hoped. Compared with Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, the national power was too strong. To occupy the land of the Tang Dynasty, Yuangaisuwen had to make the already ruthless Goguryeo army even more ruthless through this inhumane method.
Yuan Gaisuwen is to lead beasts to eat people, which is one of his pleasures.
"Quan Gai Suwen, you have to die. You have lost humanity and conscience. You are going to go to the eighteenth floor of the endless hell!" At this moment, a vigorous old man rushed over from nowhere, holding a pair of With a broad sword in both hands, he slashed the surrounding Goguryeo soldiers.
The old man's swordsmanship was exquisite, and the Goguryeo people couldn't resist, and he rushed in front of Yuangaisuwen.
The old man soared into the air, and his two-handed sword slashed towards Yuan Gai Suwen.
"You're a ranger from the Tang Dynasty, so damn it!"
Only Tang people would call Yuangaisuwen "Quangaisuwen", because the word "Yuan" in Yuangaisuwen coincides with that of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid the taboo of Li Yuan, the Tang people generally called Yuan Gai Suwen is "Quan Gai Suwen".
Yuangai Suwen sneered, a sword like lightning, pierced through the chest of the old man, and lifted the old man in the air.
The old man was still alive, his eyes spewing fire, and he said to Yuangaisuwen: "Your Majesty has already taken the lead, Quangaisuwen, all of you Goguryeo will be trampled and crushed to powder under His Majesty's iron hooves! You will serve you today. It pays for what you do!"
"Li Chengqian is a child emperor, what can I do to Koguryeo?" Yuangai Suwen said, pulling out his sword and kicking the old man away, "Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, and Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, but he also ran into obstacles everywhere and returned when he was frustrated. Li Chengqian's son Do you want to destroy me, Goguryeo?"
As Yuangaisuwen said, he looked around at the Goguryeo soldiers and shouted, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The Goguryeo soldiers shouted frantically, their voices chaotic like a pot of porridge.
"General, it's not good, the Emperor of the Tang led an army of one million, and is heading towards Baiyan City at the speed of a thousand miles!"
Just as the Goguryeo army and Yuan Gai Suwen were caught in a chaotic frenzy, the spies sent by Goguryeo rushed to report.
"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty came in person? One million troops? What a joke. This bullshit is too big. I guess he is only a hundred thousand troops." Man, "I will meet Li Chengqian's child in Baiyan City, and fight against the Tang army, vowing to destroy Li Chengqian's morale in one battle!"
After Yuangaisuwen finished speaking, he gathered 30,000 Goguryeo troops, formed an army formation, and prepared to meet the Tang army for field battles outside the city gate of Baiyan City.
"Why is the earth shaking?"
"Where did the smoke come from ahead?"
"That's not smoke, that's the Tang army! My God, is the Tang army flying? And there are too many of them?"
However, after a while, Yuan Gai Suwen was horrified to discover that the Great Tang army was galloping like a fly, and the smoke and dust were billowing all the way, and at the speed of a flight, they were heading towards Baiyan City!
