Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 181 The Battle of Phoenix City

Yuan Gaibo ordered the people to call out immediately.

A rather burly Goryeo soldier led the order and shouted: "Tang Tong Li Shimin, listen, you are arrogant, insulting my Goryeo ambassador, and offending my Goryeo national prestige. Zheng, it is really tolerable to prevent the unification of the Koryo Kingdom! My general said that as long as you open the city and surrender, you will not die. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will cede Youzhou City to make amends and surrender to the Koryo Kingdom. Pay tribute, if this is the case, the two countries will continue to be better, if not, the Phoenix City will be destroyed, and you will lose all face!"

The Goryeo army burst out bursts of laughter at random. The 20-strong army besieging the city gave the Koreans a strong sense of superiority.

All the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty in the city were furious, so Changsun Wuji beat his chest and scolded: "Damn Gaoli stick, you dare to insult my lord, I am so mad!"

Cheng Yaojin also gritted his teeth and scolded: "The son of a son of a bitch, Koreans, dare to be so unscrupulous. Your Majesty, if you ask me to go to war, you will not lose the reputation of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!" A group of generals obviously couldn't bear it long ago. After such a long time, Datang's prestige has reached a peak. How has it ever encountered such a scene?
But Li Shimin laughed and said, "Why are you so restless? They are scolding me, not you, haha, the emperor is really not in a hurry for eunuchs, why are you in a hurry? King Sai has his own tricks to deal with the Koreans, we are now showing weakness , the Korean people will be arrogant, and when the time comes, the clever plan will definitely make the Korean people dumbfounded. Don't forget, our main purpose is to destroy the main force of the Korean people, and then wipe out the entire Northeast and overseas islands in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty's words are very true, but the Koreans are too self-reliant. When will King Sai wait to fight?" Qin Qiong sighed.

But Li Shimin ordered someone to bring a crossbow, aimed at Goryeo and called for soldiers, saying: "No hurry, let's play with the Goryeo people slowly, and watch me shoot and kill this rampant man!"

Li Shimin tightened and loosened his hands, and a cold light went straight towards the Korean soldiers. With a sound of "ah", the Korean soldiers fell off their horses.

"Your Majesty is really good at shooting. This must be 500 meters. I really admire you!" Hou Junji did not forget to give a flattery in time.

"Hahahaha, this hand crossbow designed by King Sai is really powerful. My dear friends, if the Koreans attack the city, use this to deal with them. As long as it is within our shooting range, the Koreans will not be able to hurt us!" Li Shimin was proud Then he took a sip of the "Yang's Fragrant Tea" handed over by Zao Wou-ki, sat on the tower and began to watch the play.

Sure enough, when Yuan Gaibo saw his soldiers being killed, how could he bear it?Yuan Gaibo let out a strange cry, then pointed the long sword in his hand at Phoenix City, and ordered to attack the city!

Although the Koreans had a large number of people, the space left for them in Phoenix City was too narrow, so they could only rush forward one by one, preparing to attack the city.

But the situation did not seem to be as easy as they imagined. The Tang army fired a volley of crossbows, and the sharp short arrows kept piercing into the bodies of the Goryeo soldiers. There were screams in front of Phoenix City!
"Hahahaha, Gaoli Bangzi, don't you dare to be rampant now?" Everyone in Phoenix City was proud and vented their previous grievances.

But Yuan Gaibo under the city asked angrily: "What's going on? What happened? Why did our soldiers fall to the ground after being so far away?"

"General, the Tang army uses a small crossbow with a long range and high lethality. Our people can't get up, general!" Some people had discovered the situation and came to inform Yuan Gaibo.

"Damn Tang Jun, when did you have this kind of weapon? When you capture Phoenix City, you must make good use of this bow and crossbow. You will definitely use it when you attack the Central Plains in the future. The order of the General Ben: At all costs, Go forward bravely and charge into Phoenix City!" Yuan Gaibo is actually thinking about capturing the hand crossbow at this moment, this guy's ambition is not small.

The Gaoli army got the order, so they rushed towards Phoenix City in a swarm, looking completely reckless.

The Tang army was naturally served by hand crossbows. Corpses piled up under the Phoenix City. The remaining Goryeo soldiers hid behind the corpses of their compatriots. Under the blow of the crossbow, few people could rush to the Phoenix City. Even if they did, they were alone, making Yuan Gaibo furious.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops for me!"

How old is it that Yuan Gaibo feels sorry for his dead soldiers?There are at least 2 people lying on the ground here and there, and Tang Jun didn't even get hurt, how can this game be played?

The Koryo army retreated, and the Tang army did not go out of the city to pursue them.

And after the first day of fighting, the Koreans have also learned to be good. Now that the Phoenix City is going to fire fiercely, although there are many Koreans, they can't take advantage of it.

That night, Yuan Gaibo called a meeting of the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, now that the Tang army is blocking our army's direction with its powerful crossbows, what good strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"

The generals look at me and I look at you, and no one can make up their minds.

It was Park Guochang who said: "General, we can't attack by force now. Phoenix City is surrounded by mountains, so there is too little space for us to attack. As long as the Tang Army has the advantage in weapons, it will be difficult for us to break through the city. However, the Tang Army is not without weaknesses. As long as we occupy the four mountains around Phoenix City and block the connection between Phoenix City and the outside world, with Phoenix City's reserves, it will be difficult for us to survive for three months, and then we will surrender without fighting, what does the General think?"

Yuan Gaibo hesitated for a moment. Park Guochang's strategy was quite good and relatively safe, but things could change at any time. If the Tang army also came with all its strength, how could the Gaoli army stop it?Therefore, Yuan Gaibo wanted a quick victory.

"General, why don't we lure the enemy to attack?" General Gao said.

"How could the Tang army be so virtuous that they would go to battle so easily? Most likely they are waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Therefore, we must make a quick decision and strive to capture Li Shimin alive as soon as possible." Yuan Gaibo said angrily.

"General, how about using fire to attack? How can Phoenix City protect itself if the forest is on fire? At that time, Li Shimin will not abandon the city and come out. We just need to set up a net around the periphery, for example, to make Li Shimin submit!" General Li also spoke. Idea, vicious.

"Well, what General Li said is right. It seems that those who want to achieve great things must endure such a big test. This is not my intention, but the Tang army is so difficult to deal with, so I have to make such a bad plan. The general ordered: tonight In the third watch, order people to set fire to the mountain, and our army retreats 100 miles, waiting for the good news!"

Yuan Gaibo finally made a decision, and Yang Zheng in the space also cursed: "Gui'er, you actually used such a vicious strategy, huh, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Night completely enveloped the surroundings of Phoenix City. In the night wind, a shrill cry suddenly rang out from the Goryeo military camp, and then, an inhumane massacre began.
