Chapter 739 Tang Jun is here

Although Goguryeo was not a small country, most of its territory was in Liaodong.

What happened at the mouth of the Datong River naturally spread to Pyongyang very quickly.

"Mo Lizhi, the Tang Army is here! The Tang Army is here! The entire sea is covered with ships of the Tang Army. Our navy is no match for them. Although the navy generals fought bravely, our ships are not even half theirs."

There are no big or small ones. Sometimes they collide directly and our ship is knocked over; then the Tang army's arrows are like free arrows, and the entire navy is almost wiped out!"

The peaceful and joyful atmosphere in the palace was destroyed in an instant.

Yeon Gaesowen's face suddenly became ugly, "The Tang army is here? They directly attacked our navy as soon as they met? When did the Tang Dynasty become so unreasonable? Shouldn't they have arranged a group of envoys first?

I will come here to negotiate before taking any other action?"

"There are no envoys! They are all large armies, and countless giant ships have already sailed up the Datong River. Mo Lizhi, Pyongyang City is about to be attacked by the Tang Army. Please prepare in advance."

"Unreasonable, this phenomenon is unreasonable!"

Yeon Gaesumun was a little panicked. Most of the troops around Pyongyang were assigned to attack Silla, and the remaining troops were less than 20,000, which was simply not enough.

"Mo Lizhi, although Datang's ships are relatively large, the number of people that can be carried on a ship is still very limited. Even if the size of Datang's fleet is really huge this time, at most it can only transport

Tens of thousands of people came, so there was no need to worry.

We still have 10,000 cavalry in Pyongyang. These elite cavalry are sure to win even against tens of thousands of infantry. Especially in the wild, the Tang army has no city protection and is not our opponent at all. They are

You come to attack us because of your own shortcomings, and you come to bring me military exploits."

Yuon Nansan was the only one of Yuon Gaesumun's three sons who stayed in Pyongyang City. Before, he regretted that he had no chance to make meritorious deeds, but now he found that the biggest credit was about to be his turn, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Although over the years, everyone has heard that the Tang Dynasty was a more powerful country than the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo as a whole also tried its best to send friendly signals to the Tang Dynasty.

But Yuan Nanchan was not particularly worried. He simply did not believe that the tens of thousands of infantrymen of the Tang Dynasty could defeat the 10,000 elite Goguryeo cavalry in the wild.

"Sanlang is right. Unless the Tang army does not disembark, there is no way that tens of thousands of infantrymen can pose any threat to our city of Pyongyang."

"Mo Lizhi, the last general is willing to lead five thousand cavalry to make a surprise attack on the Tang army."

"To be on the safe side, can we consider sending troops back from the border? When the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside world and simply leave all the Tang troops in Pyongyang. By then we can still get countless ships for free."

"This is a good idea. I think we can immediately arrange for someone to notify Quan Wanxin and ask him to personally lead his troops back to intercept the Tang army's retreat. Let them know that we, Goguryeo, are not so easy to mess with."

"Well said! We were not afraid of the Sui Dynasty back then, and we are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty now! Then Yang Guang, with a million troops, is in the hands of our Goguryeo. What does the tens of thousands of Tang troops now have to worry about?"

After Yunnansan made this move, other staff members also expressed their opinions.

The somewhat depressing atmosphere just now was immediately gone.

"If there are only tens of thousands of naval troops coming, there is really no need to worry too much. I just don't know if Datang has arranged a large army to attack Liaodong this time. If we fight on two fronts, we will still be in a bit of trouble."

Yeon Gaesumun was not so brainless and was not dazzled by his subordinates' boasting.

In his opinion, there was no reason why Tang Jun could not think of the problems that people like him could think of.

Unless the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army was as smart as Yang Guang and held himself back.

"Mo Lizhi, there is more than a thousand miles of Great Wall in Liaodong, and each city is very strong. Even if the Tang army attacks Liaodong, there is nothing to worry about. Unless the Tang Dynasty really uses all its strength to attack

In Liaodong, we will really have some trouble.

But according to the news we have heard before, the Tang Dynasty is currently busy building roads, workshops, and various constructions. Even if the Emperor of Tang intends to attack us, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are unwilling to disclose the scale of the war.

It’s too big.”

"This makes sense, but you still have to pay more attention." Yuengai Suwen thought for a while and said, "Come here, send people to inform the garrison generals of the cities in Liaodong. Doan is waiting to find out if there are any movements of the Tang army nearby.

Once there is any situation, we will immediately report it eight hundred miles away."

"Mo Lizhi, it's not good! It's not good! Tang Jun is coming!"

Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, another general rushed over from outside.

"Quan Wanming, if you don't patrol the city wall properly, why did you come to the palace?"

Yeon Gaesomun was a little unhappy when he saw that the Pyongyang City garrison had left his post without his notice.

The Quan brothers are the generals he relies on very much. Now Quan Wanming's brother Quan Wanxin is leading troops to attack Silla, and the garrison of Pyongyang City is also controlled by Quan Wanming.

"The Tang Army has begun to attack the city! Mo Lizhi, countless Tang Army ships suddenly appeared on the Datong River. When these ships saw our soldiers, they started firing crossbows regardless of what happened. The crossbows were as thick as a child's arm and had a very long range.

Not to mention, the power is extremely powerful. The general has already ordered people to seal all the city gates, and asked Mo Lizhi to dispatch troops and horses to help defend the city."

Quan Wanming said with a pale face.

For so many years, Pyongyang City has not been attacked. The life of the guards like Quan Wanming is actually very comfortable.

After all, Goguryeo mainly faced threats from the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong, and no one thought that the Tang army would come from the water.

"Why panic? Has the Tang army disembarked?"

Yeon Gaesowun was relatively calm, after all, everyone had just finished analyzing the situation they were facing.

"No, no one came down, but the soldiers we went to ask were all shot into hedgehogs. Moreover, because one of our city gates is close to the Datong River, the soldiers guarding the city have already suffered some damage."

Seeing how calm Yeon Gae Suwen was, Quan Wanming also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Quan Wanming's ability was not outstanding in Goguryeo. He was simply superior to the Quan family and was a loyal supporter of the Yuan family.

That’s why Yeon Gaesomun gave Pyongyang City to him to guard.

"No matter how many ships the Tang Army has, no matter how well they are built, as long as their people don't get off the ship, what harm will they bring to us? Is it possible that they can fly in? You tell the soldiers not to get close to the Tang Army's fleet, just stay away

Watching them from a distance, once the Tang army lands, the cavalry will go to harass them. I would like to see how long they can stay on the ship."

Yuengai Suwen and Xiong Yu calmly began to mobilize their troops.

In his opinion, this might not be an opportunity for the Goguryeo people.

This was how the Sui Dynasty sent a large amount of materials and personnel to the Goguryeo people.
