Don't be a prince

The same is in Liaodong. In the past, it was Tang Jun who jumped and screamed for the cold with the foreigners, but now Tang Jun stayed in the warm tent, smiling and watching the foreign enemy troops wailing in the distance.This is so interesting. In the past, both sides were unwilling to go to war, but now it is different. As long as the emperor wants to, Zhang Jian feels that the 2 people under him will not mind winning a city or two for the emperor.

How did the military spirit come about?That's how it came about.

However, how did a team of more than 2000 people enter their jurisdiction?

After hearing the spy's report, Tang Jian recalled that this should be the prince's personal lead.

Grandma, after waiting for so long, it can be regarded as looking forward to them!

Thinking of the emperor's secret letter, Zhang Jian immediately ordered his subordinates to follow him outside the city to greet him.

Although it wasn't the real hands-on that I was looking forward to, it's good to be able to vent my anger!

"The crown prince personally led, Yu Tai, met Marquis Liancheng."

Because there is no direct relationship of dominance, Yu Tai didn't kneel on one knee, but just cupped his hands, even if the salute was over.

Zhang Jian was not angry, but took Yu Tai's hand and said, "I'm looking forward to your coming. A camp has been prepared for you in the city. Let's rest and rest. I've prepared a banquet for you. Talk while eating."

Yu Tai was not surprised that he would receive such a reception, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Lianchenghou for your hospitality, but I personally led this time to carry the Great Tang artifact, so there must be no loss, and I will talk about it later when the final arrangements are made. "

Zhang Jian naturally agreed, and led his team into the city with the crown prince.

Many of the frontier troops in Liaodong are locals, otherwise, who would want to go to the northeast of Datang to suffer from the cold?

It is said that elites have emerged from the ancient pass, and with the intention of watching the excitement, the defenders of Liaodong gathered on the street, ready to see what the prince's pro-army looks like.

Looking at it this way, it's amazing!

"Damn, look at these soldiers, all of them are dressed like bears, and they probably won't be frozen in the snow nest."

"What are clothes? Look at their horses. They are definitely good horses from the grassland. The prince is really generous to his soldiers!"

"What do you see those six horses pulling? A coffin?"

Before the big soldier finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by the veteran: "Shut up, don't look over there, it's a secret, be careful to cut off your head."

Seeing the little soldier covering his head and screaming, he couldn't bear it, and the veteran said: "This should be the weapon of the pro-leader. I heard from the general that this time the pro-leader will use 2000 people to clean up the bastards of Korea. He has no magical powers. 2000 people dare to attack Korea?"

After finishing speaking, the veteran breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt very happy in his heart.

After guarding the border for so many years, I have long been displeased with those bastards in Korea.A lot of people I knew died in Korea, so there might be some acquaintances in Jingguan.Originally, it would be useless for a civil servant to ask for it, but he was rejected.Not only that, but Goryeo dared to make a request, which really pissed me off.If it wasn't for respecting the great general, Zaote Niang's mutiny would have happened.

Now it seems that His Royal Highness still has an appetite for people, and if he says to beat him up, he will beat him up as a son of a bitch, that's right!

In terms of the management of the personal camp, Yu Tai did not dare to relax at all. Three independent tents were selected by him as a weapon arsenal, and no sparks were allowed within a hundred steps of the surrounding area.He never thought that the prince would be sensational, and since he said so, he had to follow suit.

After arranging to lead the team personally, Yu Tai took the six captains to the banquet together.

Banquets in the military have always been attended by the general with a few subordinates. After all, they want to work together, so it is necessary to get to know each other at the dinner table.

It is said to be a banquet, but it is actually a few large pots of boiled mutton, but it can be seen that the cook is a good cook, and the mutton is not smelly at all.As for the appearance of spirits, it was shocking enough.

Zhang Jian handed a jar of wine to Yu Tai and said, "This is from Lao Cheng. He said he was afraid that we would drink up the alcohol used to treat injuries. Don't worry, the old military man has been handed over to the military commander, so he is drunk One night is not a problem. The enemy army in the distance will only ask us not to attack them, and fools will trouble us."

As a result, after taking a sip from the wine jar, Yu Taicai said: "In Liaodong, there are many places that rely on the Marquis of Liancheng. You also know that although the order from His Royal Highness is to save your life first, how can you save your life at the same time?" It's a wonderful job done, which makes people worry!"

Zhang Jian smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yu Tai, saying, "I know what you are worried about. With this letter here, I guarantee that you will not be reprimanded by the crown prince when you go back."

Yu Tai unfolded the letter and read it again, especially when he saw the seal on the back that read "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity", he was even more shocked.

This is, the emperor's letter!

Ever since Li Shimin got the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, he was very rare. Even if he just left Chang'an and toured Qizhou, he still carried it with him.

Putting the letter away, Zhang Jian said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty has an order, and the personal command is temporarily assigned to the Liaodong Frontier Army, so you have to obey the command of the old man now."

Yu Tai was not unhappy when an immediate boss suddenly appeared. This is a tradition in the military. Even if it is two people who do not deal with each other, once they have a subordinate relationship, they will let go of their grievances and concentrate on serving the army.

However, as it was related to leading the mission, he still couldn't help asking: "What is the general's intention? I told you in advance that if you want to lower the goal of the mission, it is absolutely impossible. Moreover, this time there is also Baiqisi People, the assessment of the power of gunpowder weapons is also a top priority."

What Yu Tai was most afraid of was that Zhang Jian ordered them to go back. It was a trivial matter to go for nothing, and if they went back without farting, they would be laughed at to death.

Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "The crown prince is still a bit immature in terms of military strategy. His Highness has not yet understood the truth that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt five fingers. It would be a pleasure to personally lead the torture of the border town of Koryo, but it is of no great use. Therefore, the old man’s opinion is that the Liaodong frontier army is also dispatched, and the target is not all the Koryo border towns, but Liaodong City, which bears the brunt, as long as the Liaodong City is completely destroyed, the blow to Koryo will definitely be heavier than the torture!”

Zhang Jian's words immediately aroused Yu Tai's interest, and he touched Zhang Jian with the wine jar and said, "Coincidentally, I actually think so too, but His Highness is afraid that the relationship will be too damaged, so he won't let you do it. I dare not hide it from you, but I brought a big guy with me this time, I heard that blowing up a section of the city wall with this guy is completely trivial."

Zhang Jian waved his hand, and all the generals around him left, leaving the top positions to the two of them.

Just like a deal between two bandit leaders, the two started whispering.

"Hey, this time, I'm afraid it's not a border game. We brothers finally got a tough battle to fight."

Liu Mang laughed and patted Zhan Tianhou's back, which made him cough again and again.

A bearded general came over holding a leg of lamb and said, "You guys are so lucky. I heard that the crown prince loves you so much. You can tell the difference from the equipment. Your armors are all brand new. How can you tell me the difference?" Like us, it’s almost leaking from front to back.”

Liu Mang looked at the general's armor and was in awe.In many cases, the traces of cutting and chiseling on the armor are the real meritorious service of a general.From the armor of this general, it can be seen that this is a titan.

Arching his hands, Liu Mang said: "I made you laugh. His Royal Highness is so benevolent that he doesn't want his subordinates to suffer. But our personal command is only in charge of the guards of the Eastern Palace. We change every few days. There is no chance of loyalty! Although we are willing to die, But given the opportunity to be dispatched, His Highness ordered us not to risk our lives, tell me, isn’t this a panic to death!”

The bearded general laughed loudly, patted Liu Mang on the shoulder and said, "Well done, it's good to think of being loyal! It's not in vain for His Highness to treat you like this. It seems that we have a chance to go to the battlefield together, look at your bones , I guess he is also a titan in the ranks, when the time comes, we brothers will compare and see who kills more Koreans!"

The master general has the conversation of the master general, and the general has the conversation of the general.This time at the banquet, not only did Zhang Jian and Yu Tai have a happy chat, but also the captain who personally led the team and Zhang Jian's subordinates also had a lively chat.This is the role of the banquet in the army, so that the two teams that are unfamiliar with each other can quickly become one.

It was already mid-October at this time, and when Chang'an was still enjoying the afterglow of autumn, Liaodong had turned into a world of ice and snow.Ever since the heating method was changed from fires to coal stoves, the soot in the border town of Datang has never stopped.Many times, when the frontier soldiers of Goryeo saw the soot in the border city of Tang Dynasty, they wanted to scream with envy.

Coal is also available in Korea, but it is tantamount to a fantasy to supply a large army for long-term use like the Tang Dynasty.

God is so unfair and favors the people of Tang Dynasty. Why can those wine bags and rice bags enjoy warm tents, while my Korean warriors will suffer from the cold?

In the early morning, after inspecting the city defense as usual, Jin Xiu, the general of the border town of Koryo, saw that the sparse soot in the border town of Tang Dynasty had become thick again, so he wanted to yell out in jealousy.

After patrolling around the city defense, people turned blue and red from the cold.After returning to the cold tent, Jin Xiu first took a big mouthful of spicy wine.He felt a lot better when he felt a line of fire that continued from the tip of his tongue to his stomach.

It's also ironic to say that this spirit was given to him by the general Tang Jun.Although it does not belong to the same country, it does not prevent the generals of the two parties from cherishing each other.Without this spirit, Jin Xiu felt that she might have a nervous breakdown in this bitter cold.

After resting for a while, my whole body became hot, but my stomach also started to hurt.Good things never come true, but for the sake of warming his whole body, he can only endure this stomachache.

"Report, general, the Tang army is gathering at the city gate, it seems, it seems that we are about to start a war against us!"

A soldier reporting the message almost fell to the ground after running into the tent.

"what?"

Jin Xiu frowned, he couldn't figure out why Tang Jun would attack here uncharacteristically.You know, there are only more than 2 people in Tang Jun's side. It is okay to stick to it, but it is absolutely impossible to have the power to attack.As for the 2000 people who entered the border town yesterday, he didn't take it seriously at all. More than 2000 people joined the battle, in his opinion, it is no different from [-] dogs.

This is not fighting on the plains, it is the world of the Tang people. This is a siege battle. Goryeo's military resources may be poor, but the quality of the city is beyond doubt.More than 2 people from the Tang Army came here to die!

"Send someone to ask Zhang Jian, what is he going to do? Advise him not to die!"

Thinking of the friendship of spirits, Jin Xiu felt that she had violated the rules by advising Zhang Jian before the battle.

Wanting to go out and have a look at Chengfang, but remembering the bitter cold outside, Jin Xiu picked up her kettle and poured a pot of spirits.

The death of 2 people is not something that can be completed in a short while, and it is better to bring wine so that you will not feel so uncomfortable.

The two armies were fighting, and the envoy was not killed, so Zhang Jian just rejected the envoy's proposal and let him return to Liaodong City.

"Marquis Liancheng, the first thing you need to do is test-shoot the gunpowder arrows to see what effect the gunpowder arrows can achieve when attacking the city. You need to send shield soldiers to protect the soldiers."

A dead-faced member of the Baiqi Division expressed his opinion stiffly.As for whether to adopt it or not, it depends on Zhang Jian's own ideas.Not to mention that he was just an ordinary member of Baiqisi, even if Duan Yunzhi was here, he would not dare to order Zhang Jian.It's okay to say in peacetime, but in wartime, the leading generals have absolute authority.

Zhang Jian also wanted to see the power of gunpowder and arrows, so he ordered the shield soldiers to protect and lead the soldiers two to one.

He knew very well that regardless of the fact that the emperor took over the command, if he led the trip with heavy casualties, he would definitely be hated by the prince.

With a slap of the shield soldiers, a row of pro-lead members approached Liaodong City slowly and firmly.

Jin Xiu on the city wall was almost dumbfounded, what kind of weird formation is this motherfucker?How can there be shield soldiers in front of the siege?

Chapter 274 Do you want to start a war? (seeking a monthly ticket)

Although puzzled, Jin Xiu quickly commanded the archers to go up the city wall, and commanded the garrison in the city to prepare to strictly guard the city gate.Although he came from a noble family and was spoiled and spoiled, he is by no means a coward. Being in the first position in the frontier city of Koryo is enough to show his ability.

The cold wind blew, and the snow scum scattered in all directions, and those who were hit by the cold wind couldn't help shivering.

The snow does not cool the snow, and the snow that fell half a month ago has not melted, so even if the sun is shining now, people can still freeze to death outside.

There was no protection for the bow-drawing hand. A Goryeo soldier's hand was frozen and he couldn't control it. As a result, an arrow fell off the bowstring and hit the shield of the Tang army's shield soldier, and then bounced feebly to the ground.

After the shield soldiers led the members into position, the recorder of the Baiqi Division looked at Zhang Jian excitedly.

Zhang Jian nodded, and the messenger immediately issued an order to attack.

"Light it up, shoot!"

Yu Tai was also at the front of the battlefield. After hearing the order, he immediately inserted the torch in his hand into the ground to use it as a kindling.

It is necessary to ignite the arrow before shooting. This makes many people not used to it. It takes training to form muscle memory and shoot the ignited arrow quickly.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing that the Tang army was attacking, Jin Xiu on the city wall also ordered to shoot arrows.

It's a pity that Tang Jun at the front is hiding behind shields, making it difficult to shoot.However, his side has a geographical advantage, and Tang Jun's arrows are also shot in vain.If it wasn't for knowing Zhang Jian, Jin Xiu would have jumped off the city wall and grabbed Zhang Jian's lapel to ask him if he was sick, and that's why he brought the army here to play.

In a round of arrow rain, many of Goryeo's arrows were blocked by shields, and only a few of them could be nailed to the shields. The most unlucky soldier led by himself was just hit by an arrow in his helmet, and nothing happened to him.

On the other hand, Tang Jun's arrows drew a beautiful arc, avoided the arrow stacks on the city wall, and landed on the city wall of Goryeo.

A Goryeo soldier laughed and picked up an arrow? It's also archery? They have an advantage over Tang Jun.Can they pick up Tang Jun's arrows and shoot them back? Tang Jun probably won't dare, without the protection of the shield? They can only die.

Excitement? It made him ignore the flaming fuze on the arrow, just when he was about to report this gratifying event to the officer.

Gunpowder arrows, exploded...

There are not a few people who did the same thing as this unlucky soldier, so after the first round of arrow rain on Tang Jun's side, there was a large explosion on the wall of Goryeo City and the screams of Goryeo soldiers.

Their naked armor could not resist the gunpowder arrows. It was only one round of shooting, and they killed and injured a lot.

The recording officer said excitedly: "Although the power of a single shot of gunpowder arrows is mediocre, but when used in a large area? The power is already terrifying. The general? The humble officer thought that he could escort the siege mines closer."

It is said that it is most effective to understand the advice of pedestrians, but Zhang Jian shook his head: "It's too dangerous to get close to the city wall? We must create opportunities for our children. Come, pass my order? Gunpowder and arrows shoot quickly? Let the city wall The enemy can't lift their heads up? In the middle of archery, those upward throws with palm mines must prevent the Koreans from showing their heads!"

The recording officer looked excitedly at the front line. He had already seen the power of gunpowder arrows. The power of grenades, combined with the number of troops, might surprise people even more.

As a result, the Goryeo soldiers on the city wall hadn't recovered from the incident of destroying the Sanguan, and the second round of arrow rain from the Tang army came again.

"Dodge those arrows, don't get close, they will explode! Wait until the explosion is over, and then shoot arrows outward! Order the shield soldiers to go up the city wall, and make sure to block all the gaps!"

Jin Xiu jumped on his feet and shouted. He didn't expect that the arrows of the Tang people would explode as if they were possessed by evil spirits. Just one round of arrow rain caused heavy damage to the archers on the city wall, and the second round came again up.

Before he could issue more orders, an arrow shot towards him like a long eye.

After the bang, Jin Xiu resisted the tinnitus, but didn't feel any pain in his body, but his wooden kettle was broken, and more than half of the intoxicating wine had been spilled.

What a waste!Before she could recover, Jin Xiu poured all the spirits into her stomach with a raised neck.

He has never tried to drink such a treasure like this before, and only discovered the beauty after doing so.Although the stomach hurts more and more, the warmth that emerges from the bone marrow is no longer short-lived, but permeates the whole body all the time.

Before he had time to think about it, he took over the shield from his own soldiers and erected it in front of him.

Taking an explosive arrow personally made him realize that the power of this weapon could not directly threaten his life.It's just a shield that can block damage.

But before he could be happy with his new discovery, he found that not only the arrows, but also some iron bumps had been thrown on the wall.

Just when the archers were about to be reprimanded, Jin Xiu found out in despair that they were all fleeing, and none of them dared to shoot again.Not all soldiers can think calmly like the general. Tang Jun's terrifying weapon shocked their minds in the first place.

Seeing the sparks on those iron bumps, and thinking of the same thing when the arrow exploded, Jin Xiu threw away the shield and wanted to pick it up and throw it back to Tang Jun.

"General be careful!"

Seeing that the master was going to do such a dangerous thing, Jin Xiu's subordinates quickly hugged the master face to face, and shouted at the rest of the subordinates to bring the general down from the wall.

boom....

I don't know how many times it was roaring, but this time the explosion was even more terrifying than those arrows.

Jin Xiu desperately hugged the blood-spitting subordinate. Just now, the iron lump he was going to pick up exploded, and then, his loyal subordinate felt as if someone had shaved his back, soaked in blood immediately coat.

"Withdraw!"

After roaring at the top of his lungs, Jin Xiu felt that he had no strength in his whole body, and let several subordinates lift him off the city wall.

When he looked back again, Jin Xiu still wanted to hit the ground hard with his fist, although he had no strength left.

In such a short period of time, there were many casualties on the city wall.The bright red plasma flowed on the ground, and was soon frozen into a red ice layer by the icy ground and the cold wind. If not now, the blood would definitely flow down the city.

This is not a siege, this is a massacre!

What made Jinxiu most desperate was the reaction of the soldiers. The Tang army did not encircle three and one missing, but the whole army gathered in the front.After discovering this, the Goryeo soldiers resolutely abandoned the frontal city defense and began to flee.Facing such a massacre, they no longer have the guts.

"Go back! Absolutely defend the city wall! What problem can running away solve? Have you all forgotten the glory of Goryeo?"
