Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, the mood of the generals of the Tang Dynasty also became excited!
Even assuming they arrive at the battlefield, a hundred thousand troops will already be filled with murderous intent and soar into the sky!
His Majesty Li Er appointed Li Daozong as the general manager of the Liaodong Road march, and took the lead in leading the craftsmen to set off from Youzhou.
And he himself led another team from Dingzhou to the north.
In order to annihilate Goguryeo in one fell swoop, His Majesty Li Er really spent a lot of money this time!
Every soldier is armed from toes to teeth, all equipped with top-notch weapons and armor.
At the same time, in order to speed up the march, he also prepared at least two war horses for each soldier, and even as many as three!
Even the craftsmen wore light iron armor to prevent being attacked by Goguryeo's longbowmen during construction.
The cost of this expedition to Goguryeo definitely exceeded tens of millions!
Fortunately, the money was not wasted, and the effect is not at all significant!
In less than ten days, everyone had arrived at the Liaoxi River.
Soon, Goguryeo on the other side also discovered the appearance of the army and quickly passed the news to the King of Goguryeo.
Regarding the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Goguryeo was as steady as an old dog, calm and calm.
After all, he had fought three wars with the Sui Dynasty and was already experienced.
Besides, in his opinion, this time the army of 100,000 was really not enough.
After all, he had defeated a million-strong army of the former Sui Dynasty, so he was still afraid of this mere 100,000 people?
Just like that, orderly instructions were issued from the royal city.
First, the King of Goguryeo activated more than a hundred forward fortresses in the mountains and sent troops to the Liao River defense line and the Thousand Miles of Great Wall defense line.
Subsequently, the five Iron Blade cities, led by Liaodong City, also entered a state of full alert.
Finally, the final line of defense was deployed in Wandu City and the Yalu River.
In his opinion, the Tang army must be marching from the northern mountainous area this time, just like the former Sui Dynasty, so he directly came up with this strategy to deal with the former Sui Dynasty.
But it's a pity that Su Chen took all of this into account.
In the military account.
Looking at Su Chen's booklet, the smile on His Majesty Li Er's face was particularly bright, and his heart was extremely excited.
Sure enough, everything was just as this little bastard said!
Seeing His Majesty Li Er being so funny, Fang Xuanling on the side was very curious and asked: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Because I have this wonderful plan this time!"
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Your Majesty, does this clever plan say how to deal with Goguryeo's defense?"
He thought His Majesty Li Er was just joking, so he asked like this.
"Next, let Li Daozong lead the troops to attack from the northern front!"
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the generals around him couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Then Goguryeo's intention was obvious, and it must have laid heavy troops in the northern mountainous area."
"Even if we have that cannon, we have no advantage in such complex terrain!"
"Wouldn't this allow Goguryeo to take advantage?"
…
Ignoring the excited generals, His Majesty Li Er turned to Li Jing and asked: "Pharmacist, what do you think?"
Li Jing thought for a moment and sighed: "Your Majesty, although I cannot guess your Majesty's thoughts, I know that your Majesty's move must have a deeper meaning."
In his mind, His Majesty Li Er's commanding ability, although not superior to his, was still among his equals.
For more than ten years, countless battles, large and small, have been fought. With the wisdom of His Majesty Li Er, he will never make such a stupid mistake.
"good."
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Of course I have other plans!"
"Daozong."
"I'm here!"
"You are here to lead eight heavy cavalry and four thousand light cavalry to attack the northern front, but you can only attack for three days!"
"In three days, continue heading north for four hundred miles!"
Hearing this, Li Fu was a little confused and asked: "Your Majesty, if we go four hundred miles north, wouldn't we have entered the northern mountainous area?"
"My eight thousand heavy cavalry cannot be used at all in mountainous areas!"
"Otherwise, how about giving me ten thousand light cavalry?"
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "You are not going here to kill the enemy."
Hearing this, Li Jing understood a little and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, you probably want to lead the main force of Goguryeo to the north?"
After hearing what he said, the generals around him understood.
This is Li Erxia's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
"That's right."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "This is a feint attack!"
"In the mountainous areas of the north, only lightly armed troops can survive."
"In order for the heavy cavalry to pass through, we must go through the northern plains!"
"And in order to capture these eight-armed heavy cavalry, Goguryeo will definitely send its army northward to snipe!"
"They can't help but take the bait!"
"Soldiers are expensive and fast. It is obviously too late for them to mobilize troops from elsewhere."
"You can only take it from his several lines of defense!"
"At the river defense line, at least 60% of nearly 30,000 troops and horses will be deployed!"
"The five Black Iron Cities will be completely mobilized, and 50,000 troops will come out in full force!"
"At that time, the Goguryeo army waiting in Huyuan in the north will be at least 100,000 people!"
Many of the generals present were all proficient in the art of war, but they did not understand where the numbers His Majesty Li Er later mentioned came from.
Without giving them time to ask questions, His Majesty Li Er continued: "After Goguryeo removes the soldiers and horses from these lines of defense, the defensive power in the south will inevitably be greatly reduced!"
Hearing this, the generals instantly became excited!
In this case, wouldn't it be possible to attack from the south?
The Sui Dynasty couldn't cross the southern tidal flats, but that doesn't mean they couldn't!
At this moment, four big words appeared in their minds at the same time!
Field bridge!
"No wonder, after Yan Lide surveyed the location, His Majesty never allowed him to start construction."
Li Qin sighed: "It turns out that this is what your Majesty had in mind!"
"good."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "If you want to win this battle quickly, the field bridge is the key!"
"Under the harassment of the Goguryeo army, it was difficult to ensure the progress of the project."
"Just lure them away for a few days and wait until the field bridge is opened!"
"In front of my Tang Dynasty cavalry, Goguryeo didn't just rub it at will?"
Li Jing said in amazement: "Your Majesty's plan is really a clever one, I admire it!"
His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and said: "In three days, Goguryeo will definitely have taken the bait, and we will try our best to build a field bridge on the southern beach!"
"By the time those barbarians find out, it's already too late!"
Afterwards, Li Daozong excitedly led his troops and started executing the instructions given by His Majesty Li Er.
Goguryeo's reaction was exactly what His Majesty said!
Three days later, tens of thousands of craftsmen led by Yan Lide started work on time without interruption!
It only took four days to build the field bridge, which was more than fifty meters wide and spanned two hundred miles across Liaoze!
