Luo Zhang is not afraid that the Feng family will regret it after occupying the land in South Vietnam. He hopes that the Feng family will regret it. Once they regret it, Luo Zhang will have an excuse to take action. This is not Huguang. The Feng family can hide in the mountains or attack Shuzhong. Occupying the middle of Shu threatened the imperial court.
However, this is the land of South Vietnam. When they get here, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They can play as much as they want. Luo Zhang knows how to play. They make the sky and the earth not work every day, and they want to die.
Compared with the fierce fighting in South Vietnam, after the North captured Jian'an City, Cheng Yaojin, who led the vanguard, did not take another step forward. Instead, he followed the advice of Luo Zhang and others to stick to the city and strengthen the defenses to prevent Su Wen Gaiyuan led troops to attack.
The battle reports that continued to reach Jian'an City also confirmed the previous speculations of Luo Zhang and others.
At this time, Liaodong County had gathered troops from three cities, and a full 300,000 troops were stationed in Liaodong County.
If Cheng Yaojin did not listen to the words of Luo Zhang and others and launched an attack rashly, the consequences can be imagined. Even if Luo Zhang had artillery to assist Cheng Yaojin, it would be useless. The gap between men and horses cannot be made up with artillery.
Sieges may be of great use, but they are a bit useless against moving horses. After all, moving artillery is not that easy. When the enemy comes, you will have no time to adjust the artillery, so you have no choice but to attack. Only the city can exert its greatest power, which is why Luo Zhangli blocked Cheng Yaojin's attack.
If Cheng Yaojin insists on going his own way, then Luo Zhang will not accompany him crazy, but will stay in Jian'an with artillery. Once Cheng Yaojin is defeated, at least he cannot lose the Jian'an city that he worked hard to conquer.
If Cheng Yaojin didn't launch an attack, Su Wen Gaiyuan, who had assembled the army, would not fail to take action. Especially after receiving the promise given to him by Gao Jianwu, Su Wen Gaiyuan was even more active. He wanted to upgrade the Su Wen family to a superior level. His family status is what he keeps working towards.
Ordinarily, even with his status as the top master, it is not too much for Gao Jianwu to give it to a high-class family, but this will break the rules and will be unanimously opposed by other family members. Even if he thinks about it, Gao Jianwu cannot go against so many family members. , otherwise the throne under his butt may not be stable.
However, if Su Wen Gaiyuan can achieve great military exploits, even if someone wants to object to Gao Jianwu's proposal, there will be no good reason.
The reason why this happens is because there are only so many places for upper-class families. If Su Wen Gaiyuan's family wants to ascend, one of the upper-class families will inevitably be demoted. There is a huge difference between upper-class families and middle-class families.
The fiefdom alone is nearly doubled, which is not a small thing. Doubling the fiefdom can not only feed more people, but also get more resources to cultivate the next generation of the family. Over time, the family will naturally become more prosperous.
This is also the common goal and dream of all those participating in the war.
Now that such an opportunity is right in front of him, how could Su Wen Gaiyuan let it go.
Two days after the army was assembled, at his order, 200,000 men and horses marched towards Jian'an City in a mighty manner.
This time he must avenge his previous humiliation, capture Jian'an City, and drive the Tang army out of Goguryeo!
Immediately, Cheng Yaojin received the battle report, and Su Wen Gaiyuan sent troops to attack.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin had to be thankful that he listened to Luo Zhang's words and repaired the fortifications and defended the city.
At this time, the city wall of Jian'an City was piled with rolling logs and stones, and a lot of kerosene was also prepared. They were waiting for the Goguryeo people to attack the city, so that they could pour down the kerosene and burn the Goguryeo people who were attacking the city!
Coupled with the spiked wooden fence outside the city, which was used to block cavalry and large siege equipment, the current Jian'an City is almost armed to the teeth. Even if Su Wen Gaiyuan came to attack the city with an army of 200,000, Cheng Yaojin would still be able to attack the city. Happy and not afraid.
As for Luo Zhang, he was even less afraid. On the city wall he was responsible for, ten of the artillery he brought were placed on the wall by Luo Zhang. Of course, they were covered with black cloth. Once the offensive was tight, the Goguryeo people would be too fierce. , Luo Zhang doesn't mind giving these Goguryeo people a hard blow.
The artillery shells Luo Zhang brought this time were the ones loaded with iron beads. One shell was filled with gunpowder and hundreds of iron beads. Once it exploded, you can imagine how powerful it would be. At least There will be death and injury wherever it falls.
And this is just the power of one artillery shell. Ten artillery fires once, and Goguryeo is afraid of attacking the city and has to retreat.
This is also Luo Zhang's back-up plan. Naturally, he will not use it casually. Once used, it will cause Goguryeo to suffer with a thunderous force!
When the war is about to break out, Li Jing's army starting from Chang'an is about to arrive in Xincheng, but it will take another day to calculate the distance.
This is not a question of whether to rush or not. There are certain rules for mobilizing and marching troops and horses. If it is too fast, the soldiers will be tired and their strength will be damaged on the battlefield. If it is too slow, there is nothing to say. It is delaying the military aircraft!
During the march, a horse came to Li Jing of the Chinese Army and delivered the battle report from Jian'an City.
