Chapter 450: King Qin to the escalation of the war

The battle between the four sides came to an end, but Goguryeo didn't know if it was crazy, so she sent people to drive a boat and fire fire everywhere.

The coastal areas, such as Hebei Road, Henan Road, Lingnan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Huainan Road, have suffered more than 20 cities of five roads, 16 prefectures and 20 cities, all suffered losses to varying degrees.

Li Chengqian was worried, while old ministers such as Fang Xuanling in the capital showed great joy.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! He is in panic!"

It is not an exaggeration to be anxious to jump over the wall!

Want to delay the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty so that it is convenient for you to quickly eat Li Jing’s 100,000 strong army?

It is not easy to talk about. The main reason why the Tang Dynasty often fought and had scarce troops was the garrison troops of various prefectures and prefectures.

Without the dispersion of these garrison forces, it would be no problem to easily win over a million troops with the Tang Dynasty alone.

Now that Li Fangchen is at the age of double 10, it has been twelve years since he came to this world!

In the past fifteen years, the population of the entire Tang Dynasty exceeded 10 million households.

Even if the family of three is looking at it, there must be at least 30 million people (mostly the newborn population).

From the perspective of population, they unilaterally crush all the surrounding countries. Even if they add up, there may not be more people from the Tang Dynasty.

"Shit the guards of all the prefectures to ensure the safety of the people and drive Goguryeo out of the country!"

"yes!"

"Qin King Army, where are you now?"

"Report to Your Highness the Crown Prince, in the letter yesterday, His Highness the King of Qin's army has passed Xiangzhou, and in another five days, it will be able to reach Xuzhou."

Only after leaving Maozhou and passing through eight prefectures and twenty cities can we reach Xuzhou.

Li Fangchen's entire army marched for 14 days before he could barely arrive in Xiangzhou, far away from Li Jing.

It was during this period that Li Jing's pressure doubled.

Yuan Gaisuwen was fully fired, the artillery was not extinguished, and the war continued.

He attacked Xuzhou frantically, intentionally broke through the siege of the Tang army, and went north to support Yingzhou.

Li Jing spent countless efforts, and various military tactics were floating in his heart, hoping to find a proper way to help him block the Goguryeo army of Yuan Gaisuwen.

After half a year of continuous battle, the 150,000 army that came out of Chang'an at the beginning suffered losses, but now there are less than 30,000 people left.

On Yuangasuwen's side, there were 200,000 people, and 100,000 people lost 100,000 people, and 100,000 people had the power to fight.

Fortunately, reinforcements from Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road arrived first, and 50,000 people recovered their blood in time.

Otherwise, if you continue to fight, you will inevitably end up being wiped out.

After his hands came down to report, the King of Qin led reinforcements to Xuzhou for up to seven days.

Li Jing felt a little relaxed in his sense of urgency, but he did not dare to be careless at all.

Goguryeo's offensive was very fierce, and it was afraid that it would not be able to attack for a long time, so there would be big moves soon.

The next big battle made him worry.

If this battle can be won, it will be no problem for Goguryeo to retreat; if it is defeated, the enemy will march straight into the enemy's army, and His Majesty's army in Hebei Road will be in danger.

Taking advantage of these days, Yuan Gaisuwen was also dispatching troops and sending warships back to the country to receive new soldiers and join the Tang Dynasty.

Eighty thousand people were reselected, although they were all farmers and the like, and their combat power was not much.

Fortunately, a little training will be useful.

Two days later, a shocking battle took place in Xuzhou City.

The rippled Xuzhou City was completely reduced to plain by artillery fire. Fortunately, the people in the city had been transferred to Chenzhou and Luzhou.

The Tang army faced twice the suicide charge, and after a long battle, it was defeated!

Li Jing had no resistance at all. Even though he first borrowed artillery, he suppressed the 180,000 troops under Yuan Gai Suwen.

The battle was tragic and no one could predict it.

In this battle, Goguryeo lost 70,000 yuan, and the Tang army left less than 20,000 people.

At this point, Li Jing no longer had the power to blockade, but Yuan Gaisuwen was not happy.

Now Xuzhou is no longer a stone blocking the road. He changed his mind and walked along the river through Dengzhou and landed in Pingzhou.

Li Fangchen just arrived and also received the news that Yuan Gai Suwen drove a boat to Pingzhou.

The news quickly spread, and Li Shimin, who was in Yingzhou, was pounding his right eyelid.

"Select people to guard Pingzhou quickly, and you must not let Yuan Gaisuwen get ashore easily!"

Getting ashore from Pingzhou is equivalent to Li Shimin facing the left and right attacks of Yuan Nanchan and Yuan Gaisuwen.

The Tang army warships were really no match for the Goguryeo people.

If you travel smoothly, you can invade Qingzhou, Cangzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty. If you retreat, you can return to the sea. Yuan Gai Suwen wishes to take this opportunity to swallow the entire Hebei Road of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Fangchen led his troops to Xuzhou and met Li Jing. Seeing the Duke of Wei Li Jing's hair full of hair, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Don't worry, just go back to Beijing with peace of mind. Leave the rest to me!"

Li Jing lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I am old, I have the heart but the strength is not enough. I have failed to defend Xuzhou. I deserve to die!"

"Don't underestimate yourself. If Duke Wei is worried that his father will blame him, then he will resign from his official position earlier and return to the school to teach. I will defend you to your father for you. This battle is not a crime of war and it is difficult for manpower to stop it. It is not easy for Duke Wei to stick to it for half a year."

"Thank you Your Highness to be tolerant. The old minister doesn't want to return to Beijing. Please stay with Your Highness and be an aide!"

"I can't be done. If Duke Wei wants to stay, I will naturally be happy. However, the position of a staff member will inevitably be a bit derogatory. Is it better to be the deputy commander of the army?"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"No gifts, I will ask your soldiers to quickly renovate. Within seven days, our army will arrive in Cangzhou!"

"Cangzhou? Why didn't the Grand Marshal go to Pingzhou directly?"

Li Fangchen sighed and said, "There are heavy troops guarding Pingzhou. My father will never allow Yuan Gaisuwen to go ashore easily. Cangzhou is the second battlefield!"

"The old minister understands, let's make arrangements!"

After reorganizing the troops, Li Fangchen expanded his army to 60,000, while Yuan Gaisuwen still had an army of 110,000.

All of this is full of variables, and the saying of victory or defeat is still unknown.

Before this, there was still a good news that was passed back to Chang'an.

Your Majesty personally led the army to win and kill 50,000 enemies!

The confrontation between Yuan Nanchang and Li Shimin never stopped. He suffered a great loss before. He learned from his mistakes and Li Shimin divided his troops into three groups and surrounded him.

In addition, he attacked the camp for two days and nights, which made Yuan Nanchang exhausted and later the war broke out.

After a battle, the Goguryeo soldiers withdrew from the Tang Dynasty. The 250,000 troops that had previously shown their power were now only 150,000.

And Li Shimin had 140,000 Tang troops in his hands.

Li Shimin was determined to continue pursuing, but the army had been fighting for many days and was already exhausted and needed repairs.

In just three days, the news of Yuan Gaisuwen's attack on Pingzhou was spread.

By borrowing the power of a boat, the cannons could attack across the bank at a distance of 1,000 meters. The Tang army suffered a great loss when they attacked.

Although the Tang army had artillery counterattacks on the shore, they could not control the landing points of the shells when sailing and at sea.

Faced with the current situation, Li Shimin had to give up pursuing Yuan Nanchan's army and resigned to Pingzhou.

It seems that Goguryeo will not win this battle.

There will be no more power to fight in the next twenty years!

Li Shimin was facing difficulties, Pingzhou was to defend, and Yuan Nanchang's army would continue to fight.

However, the division of troops in two groups may lead to excessive loss of strength, which makes him unsure of victory, which is really a headache.

For several days, Yuan Gaisuwen also noticed the problem.

Judging from the current situation, he could only fire artillery from the sea, and he could only cause only a few injuries to the Tang army.

After a few days, hundreds of warships were lost, and they were not close to Pingzhou at all.

After re-planning the tactics, Yuan Gaisuwen left five hundred warships to continue pretending to attack Pingzhou.

He led 1,300 warships to Cangzhou, intending to go ashore first and then attack Pingzhou!
