Chapter 943 Border Town Battle

Wang Xuance looked at the city defense map of Pyongyang and frowned and said, "The entire defense of Pyongyang is a piece of iron barrels. It is probably not easy to rescue the Goguryeo King."

He whispered in a low voice: "The King of Goguryeo cannot die. Once the King of Goguryeo dies, even if we win after the war, it will be difficult for the royal family of Goguryeo to be lost."

Wang Xuance nodded slightly, "You are right. This Goguryeo King cannot die. How can the Tang Dynasty support another Goguryeo King? The ready-made one must be preserved."

After a while, the few people decided to let Xingxin stay in Pyongyang for more time.

When I returned to Pyongyang, it was almost dawn.

Dragging his tired body, he walked back into the center of Pyongyang City with a satisfactory hope that the battle would end soon.

Tens of kilometers north of Pyongyang City.

The army has crossed the river and is ready to attack the border town of Goguryeo at any time.

Niu Jinda sat in the central army tent and listened to Li Daliang's story.

The two decided to break the border town first tomorrow.

Xue Rengui said with a map: "General Niu, this is the entire Goguryeo topography."

Hearing this, Niu Jinda took the map and looked at it with a look even more surprised, "What a detailed map."

Li Daliang also glanced at it and said, "Where did this map come from?"

Xue Rengui said: "When we set out from Jingyang, the academy handed over to the last general, hoping that it would be useful to the general."

Niu Jinda smiled generously, "It's useful, of course it's very useful."

The army is going to go deep into Goguryeo, and what you need most now is a map of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo is not like the Central Plains, and Niu Jinda is the first time he has come to Goguryeo to fight.

The impact of terrain on combat victory is particularly great.

Li Daliang asked in a low voice: "When Liaodong sent troops, Wang Xuance left with a team of your Jingyang Guards, and he has not come back yet."

Xue Rengui replied: "They have their own tasks and will be able to handle the army at that time."

Niu Jinda smiled and said, "I know the rules. Your Jingyang Guard is the support of our army. We don't have much power to command you. Your Majesty has already explained it before coming."

Xue Rengui nodded and left.

Li Daliang discussed with Niu Jinda for a long time again.

After finalizing the next march, Niu Jinda walked out of the tent to watch the preparations of the army in the camp.

As we were walking, we saw that the people from the Jingyang Guards gathered together and were listening to a lecture alone.

He had to give lectures when marching and fighting. Niu Jinda sighed in his heart that the Jingyang Guards were really unique.

Early the next morning, the army marched again, this time to attack the border town of Goguryeo.

There are three border towns in Goguryeo, the first of which is Daxing City. This place has been Liaodong County in the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. It is only after years of wars and long-term disregard for Goguryeo that this place is controlled by Goguryeo.

Li Daliang led 30,000 soldiers to fight Daxing City.

The other two border towns in Goguryeo are on the other end of the Yalu River, Shicheng and Pozhukou. These two border towns are relatively small.

Daxing City was originally built by people from the Central Plains, while Shicheng and Bozhuokou were built by people from the Goguryeo on the opposite side of the Yalu River, facing each other across the river.

Long before Li Daliang launched his troops, Xue Rengui led his men around Daxing City to the Yalu River.

The terrain here is very flat, and you can see the two small towns from afar.

With one thousand members of the Jingyang Guard, Xue Rengui and others were in the upper reaches of the Yalu River.

Several war horses hurriedly passed by the bridge of the Yalu River, coming from the direction of Daxing City.

It seems that Li Daliang is going to attack Daxing City, and Daxing City has come to ask for help.

Xue Rengui whispered to the team members around him: "Prepare for the raft to cross the river."

Shicheng and Bozhuokou were originally small cities, and there were insufficient troops.

Once Daxing City is broken, Shicheng and Zhuobokou cannot be defended at all.

Watching teams of soldiers emerge from the city.

Xue Rengui led the members of the Jingyang Guards to cross the river from the upstream.

After two hours of crossing the river, Xue Rengui counted the number of people on the river bank. After all, the team members hibernated in the distance again.

Until night, there were still soldiers and horses coming in and out between the two cities. It seemed that the war in Daxing City was very tense.

"When is it?"

Xue Rengui asked.

"Middle Time." The team member on the side replied.

Pulling out the horizontal knife from his waist, Xue Rengui led his team to quickly approach the city wall.

The walls of Shicheng are very low, which is much lower than many cities in Guanzhong.

And it was very old. Xue Rengui and his men quickly dug a gap in a corner of the city wall.

After everyone divided the moor bottles, they sneaked into the city in the darkness.

On the battlefield of Daxing City, Li Daliang got off the battlefield in a mess and said to Niu Jinda: "I didn't expect that Daxing City is quite difficult to crack."

Seeing Li Daliang's embarrassing and a little angry, Niu Jinda said: "Daxing City was originally built by our Central Plains, and it can be regarded as a big city in the border city."

Li Daliang poured a mouthful of cold water and said, "Don't worry, General, I will definitely be able to take this city tomorrow."

Niu Jinda was very calm, and he didn't use much force to attack the city this time.

"How are the casualties?" Niu Jinda said.

"There are many wounded soldiers. The Goguryeo people's weapons are not good. Even our armor cannot be cut in, so the city is difficult to climb." Li Daliang said with his shoulders moving: "The medical team from Jingyang treats the wounded soldiers, and there will be no major problems."

Niu Jinda could see that Li Daliang relied heavily on the medical team in Jingyang.

The Jingyang Guards have always done their own things.

This was the case in Tubo back then, and now it is the case.

Their abilities were also seen by Li Daliang with his own eyes.

Li Daliang plans to regroup and attack the city again at dawn.

A soldier hurried into the tent and said, "General, the military newspaper in front."

Hearing this, Niu Jinda was puzzled, "What is the military newspaper in front?"

I am ahead here, and there is no more battle report ahead.

The soldier said: "It was the battle report sent by General Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui and a thousand Jingyang Guards have taken down the Shicheng, and the entire city has ignited a fire."

Hearing this, Li Daliang stood up and immediately looked at the sand table.

Shicheng is the rear of Daxing City, and Li Daliang said: "The general will win this battle!"

Niu Jinda looked at the location of the Shicheng and smiled: "This Xue Rengui is really jealous. He saw that the key to the Shicheng was at a glance. Taking the Shicheng would cut off the retreat of Daxing City."

Li Daliang said: "Send 5,000 troops immediately to assist Xue Rengui! In order to prevent the other party from counterattacking, tell Xue Rengui to guard Shicheng for me! As long as he guards it, after passing Shicheng and entering Goguryeo, he will be flat and attacking Pyongyang."

"Here!"

As soon as the military newspaper arrived, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
