Chapter 331: Take the long mouth

"The things in the court are really troublesome. Fortunately, I don't have to go to Tai Chi Hall to court every day, otherwise I will have to torture me crazy." Su Dingfang smiled.

"You, that is, the Tang Dynasty today. Your Majesty now can make you feel at ease when leading troops outside." Liu Rengui smiled helplessly. Perhaps he remembered something, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he sighed in his heart.

Su Dingfang was quite comfortable in leading troops, but why can't this kind of freedom fall into him?

Liu Rengui remembered Li Jingxuan, the one in the court who always liked to sing opposite him. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never offended him.

How many battles did Liu Rengui fight with Goguryeo in the past three years in Liaodong? Li Jingxuan said so many bad things about Liu Rengui in the court. Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er was also clear-minded and was more towards Liu Rengui. As for Li Jingxuan's words, it would be enough to just listen to them. There is no need to take them seriously. Could it be that Li Jingxuan's opposition alone would ruin the entire battle situation in Liaodong?

Although Li Jingxuan's opinion makes sense, he also seems weak and powerless under the revenge of His Majesty Li Er and the civil and military officials of the court.

Liu Rengui was leading troops outside. As for Li Jingxuan in the court, since His Majesty Li Er ignored him, he didn't have to take it so much.

Five days later, Liu Rengui's fleet arrived near the Changkou of Goguryeo. At night, he found an inconspicuous place. After Su Dingfang's army came down from the ship, Liu Rengui's fleet turned around to Silla and took Fang Yiai back to Beisha City on the way.

After the Tang Dynasty Navy and Silla Navy jointly deceived the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces, Fang Yiai's role in staying in Silla was not great. It would be better to come back earlier, at least Liaodong is much safer than Silla.

As the war broke out, the Baccarat once again focused on Silla's land. At that time, the Sanhan Peninsula would still be in chaos, which is the norm.

Su Dingfang's army is now only thirty miles away from Changkou. It is only a day to raid Changkou.

The defenders in Changkou were probably unexpected that the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were about to reach the city, but they knew nothing.

Su Dingfang's 50,000 troops found a hidden place, took a temporary rest, got off the boat, and had to rest for at least one day before they could fully recover their combat capabilities.

One day later, the 50,000 troops set off and set off early in the morning. They walked slowly towards Changkou along the way. They would be able to reach Changkou early the next morning, and they would be able to prepare to attack the city immediately after reaching Changkou City.

This is also the reason why Su Dingfang did not let the army move in a hurry. On this land, these 50,000 troops must maintain enough physical strength to fight at any time, whether it is siege or dealing with various reasons on the road. Slow progress is the best way to save physical strength.

The 50,000 army boarded the land of Goguryeo by boat, and it was inconvenient to carry horses. Therefore, except for a few generals in the army, the rest of the people walked on foot. There were no cavalry this time, and the cavalry did not have much effect. As long as you take the long mouth, there would naturally be a way to solve the problem of horses.

They did not mean that there was no in Changkou City, nor that it mean that there was no Goguryeo. Fifty thousand troops attacked Changkou, and then they would use war to support the war.

Although Changkou is also a coastal city, it is located in the south of Pyongyang City. Not to mention the distance between it and Pyongyang City, it is farther than the territory of Baekje. Therefore, Changkou is generally used as a supply point for the Goguryeo Navy. However, the Goguryeo Navy is now floating on the sea. There are garrisons on Changkou, but there are not many. Compared with Su Dingfang's 50,000 troops, it is also a drop in the bucket. The only advantageous thing is that they have a city, while Su Dingfang's army does not.

"General, there is a long mouth in front of you." The deputy general next to Su Dingfang said: "We are still two miles away from the long mouth. If we move forward, the guards on the city wall will find us."

It was already evening when Su Dingfang led his troops to Changkou. The night was dark and the army was also advancing in the dark. Only in this way would the troops come to the city and the people on the city walls be unaware of it.

But the goal of the 50,000 army was too huge, and it was two miles away from being discovered. It has to be said that it was because there were no war horses in the team, otherwise the sound alone would be loud enough.

"Well, send the order down, target Changkou City, and when you get under the city, break the city gate and attack the city immediately!" Su Dingfang said.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the deputy general retreated.

On the way here, the army used local materials to get a lot of siege equipment, at least some of them hitting wooden rushing cars, and now they have to attack Changkou at night and break the city gate. As long as the defenders of Changkou react and gather before the city gate, the battle will be more than half of the victory.

Among them, we are racing against time to see who is one step faster.

Two miles away, the army trotted all the way, and in less than two quarters of an hour the troops arrived at the city.

The defenders on the walls of Changkou City were instantly filled with surprise when they saw Su Dingfang's army.

"Enemy attack!"

A loud shout came to the city, and the fire on the city wall was lit up.

Su Dingfang's army still had no torches. With the faint flames shining on the city wall, the army rushed forward quickly, and a group of people pushed the chariot and began to rush towards the city gate.

"Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!" The defenders on the city wall began to bend their bows and shoot at the Tang army below.

The Tang army soldiers were constantly lying outside the city, while the two teams held wooden shields and pressed in front of the people pushing the chariot, resisting the arrows shot from the city wall for them.

After rushing into the city gate, it was safe for the time being. The army behind was holding wooden shields in front, while the people behind were hiding behind the shield to avoid arrows and slowly advancing forward.

The rushing car hit the city gate again and again and again.

The defenders in Changkou City were standing behind the city gate, preventing the city gate from being knocked open by rushing cars. There were so many Tang soldiers outside, and once they rushed into the city, Changkou would be lost.

Su Dingfang sat on the back of the horse. He could only see the situation in front of him, and the rest were all listening to the sound.

If the Tang army does not hold torches, the archers on the city wall cannot find the target, and the death and injury rate of the Tang army will be greatly reduced, which is also the benefit of siege at night.

The rushing car in the city gate hole continued to work hard and finally opened the city gate. When Su Dingfang heard the sound of the city gate being broken, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack Changkou City.

The two teams of people who had previously pushed the chariots, before they attacked the rear, were facing countless defenders in the city. They were weak in power, and once they met, they suffered heavy casualties.

Soon, the team behind us came up and the two armies met at the city gate.
