Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Among the three cities, the city where Li Daozong is currently located is located in the former protrusion in the middle, and it is also the city with the largest population and largest area.

The city has a population of about 12, and it is the most populous city in Silla except Jincheng, because there are a lot of plains around it that can be planted with farmland.

But at least half of these people are distributed outside the city, and these people can be temporarily recruited and transferred into the city during the war.

The farmland outside the city can only be strategically abandoned.

What I have to say is that Yuan Gaisuwen chose the right time. This period happened to be the time when the whole peninsula had a good harvest of grain, and it was the time to start the war.

Whether it is the common people or the cities, there is a lot of food.

This means that if they launch a war, logistical supplies will not be too difficult.

The peninsula is different from other places. There is limited food here, and life is tight. Whether it is Silla or Baekje, their food storage is very small.

Therefore, they absolutely dare not implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, even Goguryeo itself would not dare to do so.

Because if food and grass are really burned, it’s okay if the amount is small, but if the amount is too large, the consequences will be very serious.

Of course, this is just a normal situation. If you are in a hurry, no one will think so much.

On the left side of the city of Li Daozong is the city of Baekje where Cheng Yaojin is located, and on the right is another county controlled by Li Daozong.

Of the three cities, the county where Cheng Yaojin is located has the most troops stationed there, with five thousand soldiers from the Tang Dynasty stationed there.

This is because the terrain in the area where Cheng Yaojin is located is flatter and more conducive to attacking, and it would be better if more soldiers were stationed here.

But there is also an advantage over there, because the county where Cheng Yaojin is located is closer to the coastline, so it is easier to obtain supplies.

Although Datang's large transport ships cannot dock, Datang also has many small transport ships. As long as there are enough of these ships, they can also provide very good supplies.

What's more, there are only five thousand soldiers here.

Li Daozong's supplies here will all be transported from Jincheng. Anyway, they all come here with an attitude of spending money, so the distance is just right, so that more people in Silla can be hired and influenced.

On the third day of Li Daozong's arrival, the first logistics transport team organized by Xue Rengui arrived here. A convoy composed of [-] Tang soldiers, [-] Silla troops, and about [-] Silla civilians transported a large amount of supplies. the city.

After these supplies arrived, Li Daozong also breathed a sigh of relief. This batch of food sent over was enough for their current Datang army to feed for a month.

Li Daozong, the soldier who passed through the transport, knew that Xue Rengui would continue to send small transport teams to follow up.

The follow-up logistics supply team will not be so large, it will consist of about a few hundred to 1000 people.

But the victories continued. According to the news delivered by Xue Rengui, a supply convoy composed of thousands of people would depart from the port every day.

In other words, if Goguryeo did not attack the logistics line, they would be able to receive a large amount of logistics supplies every day.

And there is no need to worry about the materials being emptied at the port, as a large amount of materials are being delivered here from Datang continuously.

Li Daozong, who inspected the entire city wall, probably knew it in his heart. The height of the city wall is about three to four meters, mainly due to the undulations of the terrain.

The height of the city wall is good, and the thickness of the city wall is also good. There are not too many soldiers who need to be stationed in all directions.

Li Daozong has a total of [-] soldiers, and currently [-] are stationed in this city, while the other city has only [-] Great Tang soldiers.

"Have the equipment supplies been delivered?" Li Daozong called Niu Jinda in and asked.

"General, the equipment and materials have not fully arrived. The logistics supplies currently delivered are 30 spare bows and arrows, a total of [-] arrows, [-] medium-sized bed crossbows with two bows and three arrows, and [-] bed crossbows. Two thousand arrows for the main crossbow and eight thousand arrows for the auxiliary crossbow."

"In addition, there are ten large bed crossbows, five hundred main crossbow bolts, and one thousand auxiliary crossbow bolts. Ten large catapults and a set of spare parts."

"In addition, the stone materials of the large-scale trebuchet will be mined by people."

"According to the latest news sent by the transport team, in ten days, the total amount of arrows and arrows here will reach about 50. In addition, the number of bed crossbows may also increase by then, and a batch of small bed crossbows will appear. Can be operated by one person."

"That's right, with these supplies, we can defend the city with full confidence." Li Daozong immediately smiled with satisfaction.

These materials are not all the materials, but the materials sent to him. Naturally, other cities have supplies from other cities, and the matching ratio should not be too bad.

Although his ration here is more due to the protrusion, but it will not go anywhere.

It has to be said that Datang's transport fleet is too powerful now, and so many materials are still being transported continuously. Of course, the premise is that the construction speed in Datang's country is fast enough, or there is no shortage at all.

"Are there any new weapons?" Li Daozong asked after thinking about it.

"No, the news from the logistics department is that our mission this time is only defense, so the current supplies should be sufficient.

"It's enough." Li Daozong thought for a while, and nodded. There is almost no need to worry about food, and there is almost no need to worry about running out of other arrows.

Under such circumstances, pure defense is of course enough.

"However, we have to plan ahead. In this way, let the scouts send letters to Xue Rengui as quickly as possible, and let him increase the amount of food delivery if possible. We are here and start to hire people to work." Li Daozong thought for a while and said .

"Yes!"

Don't worry about attacking, if you just defend, there are too many things to play, especially if there is no shortage of logistical supplies.

It is a bit difficult to increase the height of the city wall, but the dilapidated moat outside the city, oh no, it is not a big problem to add some ditches on the basis of the moat.

In addition, a large number of people are hired to dig some horse traps. It doesn't need to be too big, with a thick arm, and two feet deep is enough.

Anyway, no matter whether it is Datang or Silla, there are almost no war horses, only a limited number of war horses for scouts, but Goguryeo is different.

Goguryeo, which has a lot of horse breeding land in the rear, has a lot of cavalry troops, and there are also heavy cavalry, so the role of these horse traps is too great.

I just don't know when the Goguryeo army, which has been slow to move against Silla, will arrive.
